49, negotiation
She has looked so perfect, even her voice is so perfect.
No one could imagine how pleasant she would be if she had opened her singing voice.
But no one could imagine whether anyone in this world could make her sing loudly for it.
Her tone was very plain, and she did not seem to pursue Yan Li's misconduct.
Major General Wang was very disappointed and his hostility towards Yan Li deepened a little further. Anyone who approached her was his enemy.
There were countless admirers of her, most of them were driven away by him. Although there was still a troublesome guy, Yan Li was no exception.
"You disappointed me." Ji Zhiyuan continued.
Yan Li said: "Maybe the truth is not what you imagined."
Ji Zhiyuan said: "The process is not important, I only look at the results."
Yan Li said: "Isn't that upsetting your original wishes? Maybe this is exactly what the people behind the scenes want to see."
Ji Zhiyuan said: "What can you save?"
Most people in the hall didn't know Yan Li's true identity, and they were confused when they heard it.
Yan Li raised his head and boldly looked at the heart-pounding figure behind the curtain, "This is exactly the purpose of my visit to you. We need to talk about some things separately."
As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly became boiling.
It was a vain that everyone was surging in their hearts. They couldn't believe that Yan Li was so bold and arbitrary.
From his words, he put himself in the same position as Ji Zhiyuan. How unrestrained and rebellious he was.
Major General Wang's murderous intent soared, staring at Yan Li: "Difficult, haven't you recognized your identity?"
Yan Li treated him as air and continued, "It's not that I can save anything, but what I can bring to you."
At this moment, he no longer regarded himself as a student in the academy, but Yan Longshu, the leader of the Yanshan thief.
He crawled out of hell, why did he fear falling into another hell?
"Okay, okay!" Major General Wang laughed in anger and rushed towards Yan Li.
He actually tried to kill Yan Li on the spot with a punishment.
"Stop!" Ji Zhiyuan spoke, "You all retreat."
Major General Wang froze and turned his head in disbelief and said, "Your Majesty, this person..."
"Get out!"
"Zo, follow the order..."
Major General Wang gritted his teeth, suddenly calmed down again, and finally glanced at Yan Li, as if he was looking at a dead person, and then went out.
Li Yixiu passed by Yan Li, and while winking, he quietly gave him a thumbs up, "Warrior! Let's have a drink for you another day."
The hall was quiet, and it seemed that there were only two people left.
However, Yan Li knew that there must be some masters in the secret, but he could not sense them with his cultivation.
His brain was running rapidly. Before he came, he had already made a statement. What could Yanshan thieves bring to the Daxia Dynasty? Apart from being recruited, there seemed to be no bargaining chips.
Ji Zhiyuan was exactly this idea. She could tolerate Yan Li's disrespect and presumptuousness. As long as she could recruit Yanshan thieves, all this was nothing.
However, Yan Li knew in his heart that Yanshan thieves could not be recruited.
Yanshan thieves are wolves. Once the wolves are kept in captivity, they will lose their blood. A wolf pack that loses blood is no different from a flock of sheep.
At this point, Yan Li has no way out.
He lifted the curtain and walked straight to the chair in front of the imperial throne and sat down.
Only a few people are qualified to sit on the chair in front of the imperial throne.
Yan Li sat down and looked at Ji Zhiyuan. Even though his heart was as strong as his mind, he couldn't help but tremble.
However, the heartstrings had broken many years ago, and the tremor continued for not long.
"I hope what you say next is what I want to hear." Ji Zhiyuan spoke lightly.
Yan Li smiled and said, "Chaoyang did not kill anyone, they just fought. Will Su Yu die? Is it an accident or a mastermind behind the scenes? This is the key."
Ji Zhiyuan's beautiful eyes were slightly cold and she said, "I just want the result."
Yan Li said: "I am responsible for finding the murderer and giving you an explanation. The court and the Yanshan thieves still maintain a tacit understanding."
Ji Zhiyuan shook her head and said, "Yanshan thieves were disbanded and joined the Dragon Guard. Yan Longtu became the commander. The other commanders of all sizes have a place to settle down. This is the only way to save you, and it is also an ultimatum."
Yan Li sneered and said, "I only give you one home, I want the entire Yanshan thief to work hard for you. Are you thinking so beautiful because you are so beautiful?"
Ji Zhiyuan's beautiful eyes flashed, and she was full of interest, "No one has ever dared to talk to me like this."
Yan Li said: "Now you have seen it."
Ji Zhiyuan said: "Aren't you afraid of death?"
Yan Li said, "I'm so scared that I'm dying."
Ji Zhiyuan said: "Yanshan thieves retain their organization and have another army, and they are appointed Yanlongshu as the general of the chariot and cavalry. You can join the inner courtyard of the academy without assessment. You should be required to practice, so you don't have to worry about it. Is it enough for at least one third grade in the future?"
Yan Li spread his hands and said, "The conditions are very attractive, but I can't make the decision."
Ji Zhiyuan said: "Then why should you sit here?"
Yan Li raised his lips lightly and said, "You need a weapon like me that is smart and has both civil and military skills to clear the cancer of the empire and the haze that has shrouded the empire for hundreds of years."
Ji Zhiyuan said lightly: "Do you have this ability?"
The voice was very dull, not a question, but a sure thing he could not do.
Since Emperor Wu, the haze that shrouded the empire has become more and more terrifying. Several generations of royal family have worked hard to govern, but they have not been eliminated. With a small robber, that is simply impossible.
Yan Li replied to the question, "You should know why I came to see you alone. Yu Xingzhi could not save my life. It is inevitable that he would be killed or injured when he was arrested. Only when I died can he sit in a stable position."
Ji Zhiyuan frowned and said, "What do you say?"
Yan Li smiled and said, "You have a mirror in your heart. You know that Yu Xingzhi has a problem, but you still ask them to arrest me. Isn't it just to test me? If I can't get here, for you, you will lose the value other than hostages."
Ji Zhiyuan said inexplicably: "You are really brave."
Yan Li kept silent. When he said this, Ji Zhiyuan had no obvious fluctuations in intentions, and he was a little unsure of her attitude.
Whether it is negotiation or daily gossip, the person who is talking will show a tendency to fluctuate during the conversation.
However, Ji Zhiyuan did not, deny, certain or not, not certain, none of these tendencies.
She is not like the impermanent wind, which can at least move. Instead, it is like a bottomless abyss, not knowing whether it is hell or heaven below; it is also like a tasteless water that can never taste the taste.
Ji Zhiyuan is well versed in negotiations, which is Yan Li’s conclusion.
You can't underestimate her just because she is a girl.
Ji Zhiyuan ascended the throne at the age of seven and is only eighteen this year. She is the youngest king in history. After twelve years of ups and downs, the dangers and training he experienced may not be much less than Yan Li.
Besides, this negotiation is unfair.
For the Daxia Dynasty, the famous Yanshan thieves were just a bandit group with some strength. If it weren't for the disaster of foreign races and civil strife, they would have sent troops to encircle and suppress them, so how could they have taken root and grown in Bingzhou?
In other words, from the beginning, Ji Zhiyuan did not take Yan Li seriously.
Such silent contempt is more than verbal insults.
Anyone who encounters such a situation may feel angry.
But Yan Li didn't, because he knew that he was not qualified to be angry yet.
What he knew more was that if he did not throw out chips that would make the other party excited, the negotiation would be over.
"Slave." After a long silence, Yan Li finally spoke.
Ji Zhiyuan looked indifferent and said, "I don't need waste, even a slave."
Yan Li laughed in a low voice and said, "Hey, don't misunderstand it. I mean, someone is selling slaves."
The word slave, to most people, has become very strange.
As we all know, after Taizu overthrew the rule of the previous dynasty, it explicitly prohibited slave trading, and those who violated the crimes were punished. This was the only law that Taizu personally enacted and strictly ordered that it should not be changed.
Of course, it does not mean that there are no slaves, but there is no special market opening.
The dynasty is still in a hierarchy, and the highest is naturally the emperor, followed by princes and nobles, civil officials and generals, scholars, scholars, craftsmen, merchants, civilians and untouchables.
Compared with the history of the previous dynasty, the Daxia Dynasty was very enlightened. Any craftsman with skills was only under the status of scholars.
The lowest untouchables, like slaves from the previous dynasty, were inferior people who had lost their personal freedom and had no social status, but could not resell each other.
The sources of untouchables include prisoners of war, criminals, thieves, debtors, etc. Although they are called untouchables, they are almost impossible to own them in ordinary civilians because they are prohibited from buying and selling. However, some high-ranking officials and clans dare to take advantage of loopholes and exchange views with each other in the name of gifts.
However, compared to the underworld, robbers, etc., slave trading is just a slight witch.
Ji Zhiyuan said lightly: "You don't need to worry about this."
Yan Li said: "A few years ago, we robbed a group of people of unknown origin. They were extremely powerful, all of them were dead soldiers. After being arrested, they bite the poison bag and committed suicide. They could not tell which force. The goods were all young and beautiful girls. From them, they learned that they were captured in their sleep. I once secretly went to the government to check the files. In the past ten years, there have been significant increases in the number of missing people, most of which were unmarried girls, between the ages of twelve and twenty-four."
Ji Zhiyuan was unmoved and said, "Will you go to check this matter, there is a problem with Yan Longshu's order?"
Yan Li shook his head seriously and said seriously: "Yanshan stole three thousand bachelors. If all the girls were kidnapped, what should we do?"
Although he was making fun of it very seriously, Ji Zhiyuan did not laugh, and she didn't find it funny.
Her expression was still indifferent, and she said, "You still can't convince me. I will let the people surrounding Guiyifang withdraw, otherwise the name Dragon Soul Spear will become history tonight."
After a pause, her beautiful eyes showed a hint of chill, "Not only him, anyone has his value. If you can't show enough value, next year will be your death day."
