After thinking for a moment, Changqin smiled slightly, softly uttered two words in his mouth, and said: "Sixty percent."
Xiao Shizhu smiled and said nothing, closed his eyes, and insisted on the conditions he had proposed before in silence.
In the Juexiang Garden, everything suddenly became quiet. Even the birds that had been chirping before suddenly shut up. There was no trace of peace in the quiet atmosphere, but rather a sense of competition.
But at this time, no one was paying attention to the sudden change in the atmosphere.
Seeing that Xiao Shizhu's face was calm and unruffled, Changqin's heart skipped a beat; the human soul kid across from him was always so calm and calm, without any surprises; this made him feel a little more curious.
Then he regained his composure and calmness, raised the teacup leisurely, took a sip of the tea, then smacked his lips together and said: "Fifty-five percent, no more."
Xiao Shizhu was indifferent when he heard the words. He still closed his eyes and rocked the rocking chair gently, showing a contented look. After a while, his lips moved and he said bluntly: "It must be 50%."
If Gonggong knew that these two ghosts were using all the property he had accumulated over thousands of years as bargaining chips in negotiations, and yet they were so carefree, I wonder what he would think? His lungs would probably explode with anger.
!
"Fifty percent, tonight I will take you to eat delicious food and play fun games. I will provide you with all the sounds and pleasures. I promise to entertain you until you are happy." After Changqin was silent for a long time, Xiao Shizhu opened his mouth slightly.
With a slit in his eyes, he glanced at Changqin and then slowly closed it, saying calmly: "When you return home, I will give you a thousand sets of fine steel armors." He made the final concession.
After Changqin made careful calculations in his heart, Xiao Shizhu still didn't relent after a while, so he had no choice but to nod his head and said with a smile: "Deal."
"Wait a minute." As soon as his smile appeared, Xiao Shizhu said categorically: "What you say is unfounded, but what you say is evidence." After speaking, he clapped his hands gently, and then in the direction of the door, there was a sudden "squeak" from the door.
"With a continuous sound, Gui Qian'er walked in slowly, holding the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that had been prepared.
After the agreement was written and signed by both parties, Xiao Shizhu looked at the black and white words on the agreement and sighed with a smile: "When doing business, you have to do it with a ghost like you, the prince. It's so refreshing!"
Xiao Shizhu described the tense diplomatic negotiations as a piece of cake.
"I hope we will have more opportunities to cooperate in the future." Changqin also followed the locals and followed his words.
"There will be." Xiao Shizhu put the agreement on the desk and said: "Prince, please go to Honglu Temple to rest first. I will come and take you to play in the evening."
After a while, watching Changqin stand up and say goodbye, and when the figure disappeared from sight, the ghost mother suddenly asked: "50%, is it a loss or a gain?".
"Of course I made a profit. The central part of Chutian County is open, and there is good farmland near the river." Xiao Shizhu faced the direction of the gate, stood with his hands behind his hands, and slowly analyzed with a faint smile on his face: "The mineral output is also very high.
Rich in gold, silver, copper, iron, aluminum, tin, and jade, as well as dandelion, azure, etc.
They have everything. But now we have few little ones, we have taken over all the territory, and we have 50% of the property; they have many big ones, but they have lost the land, and they have 50% of the property. Of course, we have earned it." As he spoke, he added.
Thinking of Prince Changqin's reaction ability, I couldn't help but admire this man.
"Prince Changqin is indeed a powerful human soul, but I'm afraid he's going to be in trouble soon." After a moment, Xiao Shizhu sighed and shook his head.
"Why is this?" The ghost mother looked at his strong and broad back with confusion.
"Do you still remember the plan that Changqin proposed before, saying that he, his father, and uncle made it together?" Xiao Shizhu turned around and looked at the ghost mother's face with confusion, but there was a bit of curiosity hidden in it.
Face, he said leisurely: "Such a sharp-sighted man who has been fighting for several years can see a plan full of loopholes. How can his uncle, who has experienced hundreds of battles and been on the battlefield for many years, not be able to see it?".
"Well, this is indeed a bit suspicious." After his reminder, the ghost mother also remembered the matter; she couldn't help but feel suspicious again, and asked Xiao Shizhu in a serious voice: "Then you still dare to cooperate with them? What if Wu Hui wants to
What’s the evil intention?”.
"There is nothing to be afraid of. What he has is not for us." Xiao Shizhu smiled slightly, walked slowly behind her, raised his hand and continued to squeeze her shoulders: "Besides, if you step back ten thousand steps, you are facing us.
If you come, you can just follow the tide; and even if there is no Zhu Rongguo, it will be a matter of time for us to win over Gonggong." As he spoke, there was always a touch of confidence on his face.
"The battle of the Communist Party of China will not start for a while. All preparations will take at least March or May. Just prepare the things here first." After a moment, he suddenly stopped and put away the faint smile on his face.
He thought, and murmured in a deep voice: "What I'm most worried about now is Fengdu." A trace of nervousness flashed between his eyebrows.
Ever since he started deceiving officials from Emperor Fengdu, he never dared to let down his guard for a moment; he personally considered and arranged every detail without daring to be careless or careless.
After all, the opponent is not that easy to deal with; Xiao Shizhu felt for the first time that he was as insignificant as dust.
No matter that the other party is the last ancient god, he must possess the mighty divine power that shatters the heavens and the earth. Just talk about the fact that the other party dared to face the ancient gods alone and finally won the victory. You will know how amazing this spirit's methods are.
.
Before his opponent is completely defeated, Xiao Shizhu will always be shrouded in the shadow emanating from him.
Faced with such an old monster with scheming, means and supernatural power, Xiao Shizhu made a completely opposite move from before. In the past, he was overconfident in being able to wipe out his enemies while chatting and laughing, and this was also the case.
He has never shown up before. Every move he makes is serious and cautious.
"Don't worry." The ghost mother turned around and saw that Xiao Shizhu's face was a little heavy and there was still a trace of unnoticeable nervousness deep in his eyes. She patted his hand on her shoulder and comforted her softly.
: "As long as the Wheel-turning King accepts our gift, this matter will definitely be done for you."
"Yeah." Xiao Shizhu nodded, still looking at the green grass and flowers blooming outside the door in front of him, in a daze.
After a brief silence, but seeing Gui Qian'er who went to see Chang Qin out of the palace turning back, a strange look suddenly burst out in his eyes, and then he opened his mouth and shouted to the door: "Qian'er, are you here?
Let's go and call Chengruo." His face was still dark.
After half a cup of tea, Chen Ruo rubbed his sleepy eyes and came to the flower room of Juexiangyuan.
She was on duty for Xiao Shizhu and Gui Mu last night, so she was pulled up from the bed by Gui Qian'er just now, and she looked like she was not awake at all.
After Xiao Shizhu waved his hand, Gui Qian'er retreated, closed the door behind her, and left Chen Ruo, who was still a little sleepy, in the flower room.
"Sit down." Xiao Shizhu moved his hands up and down and said, "I'm sorry for disturbing your sleep."
"Nothing, I have something to tell you." Chen Ruo said and yawned involuntarily, but before he finished yawning, he felt something was wrong and quickly shut up.
"You can yawn if you want." Xiao Shizhu chuckled, walked back to the rocking chair and sat down, and asked again: "Have you sent the letter to Emperor Fengdu this month?".
"Well, we've been contacted regularly." Chen Ruo sat where Chang Qin was sitting before, a bit of confusion gradually appeared on his face, and asked: "What's wrong?".
"How did you write it?" Xiao Shizhu asked casually.
"According to your request, I will write you as a bad guy who either goes to the brothel or the casino. You are also immersed in the pride of winning the Ghost Kingdom and the Tou Kingdom, and it is difficult to extricate yourself." Chen Ruo replied without thinking: "Then
Say, my lord is looking for a job for you."
She was originally a spy placed by Emperor Fengdu beside the Ghost Mother, but she had already secretly switched sides.
Thousands of years ago, not long after she came to Xiaoyu Mountain City, by chance, the Ghost Mother knew her identity as a spy. However, due to the moodiness of Emperor Fengdu, and if she was assassinated, Emperor Fengdu would not be able to kill her again.
If another secret envoy is sent, the open spear will turn into a hidden arrow, and it will be difficult to hide.
Therefore, the ghost mother never touched her.
Hundreds of years passed in a blink of an eye, and both sides were in peace. Until more than five hundred years ago, the Ghost Kingdom attacked the island and Xiaoyushan City was besieged. The Ghost Mother was supervising the battle day and night at the top of the city, with Chen Ruo following her like a shadow. However, she was accidentally struck by a random arrow.
Shot in the left abdomen.
It was originally a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If Chen Ruo's wound was left alone, he could pull out the eye that Emperor Fengdu placed on Shuoyue Island without offending him. After all, random arrows have no eyes, and it's no wonder that life and death are determined by fate.
mother.
But seeing Chen Ruo's expression of pain and anger, she finally gritted her teeth and called the imperial doctor.
The ghost mother ordered the imperial doctor to save Chen Ruo no matter what. Remembering that in addition to being a secret agent, she also tried her best to take care of herself. This thought inspired her to be kind. After the war, she often took care of the seriously injured.
Chen Ruo.
There is no harm without comparison! Over time, Chen Ruo looked at the words and deeds of the ghost mother, and then recalled that when he was in Fengdu, he was abused and insulted during training in the spy camp, and in the end he had to work hard for the instructors and their boss, the Emperor Fengdu.
He was very angry. And because of the mission requirements, he was forced to take yellowthorn as an adult to sterilize him.
The more he thought about these old events, the more itchy his teeth became towards the Fengdu regime.
So, the first thing she said to her ghost mother after she recovered from her injury was: "My Lord, thank you for taking care of me like a sister."
The ghost mother was slightly startled. For the first time, she saw a sincere smile on this woman's face. So she also said: "We are sisters." From then on, Chen Ruo obeyed the ghost mother's orders.
"By the way, Emperor Fengdu also asked me if my lord knew that the cow head and horse face was also a matter of his spy." Chen Ruo pondered for a moment and then said: "After discussing with my lord, I decided to write back and said that after investigation, my lord only knew
They were servants given to Guilu by Emperor Fengdu, and they didn't know they were spies."
When Xiao Shizhu heard this, he glanced at the ghost mother, and when she saw her nodding to indicate that it was indeed the matter, he looked at Chen Ruo, nodded slightly and said, "It was handled very appropriately."
"But he's not easy to deceive." As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Ruo kindly reminded him: "So General, you should secretly go to brothels and casinos in the past, but you still have to do it." She was once a secret agent of Emperor Fengdu, and she knew it well.
Emperor Fengdu would not be so stupid as to send her as a spy, otherwise his throne would have been lost.
"Yeah." Xiao Shizhu nodded his head, looked away from her face and looked at the smiling ghost mother, showing a cunning smile.
The mountain breeze blew in from outside the house through the window grilles, bringing with it bursts of fragrance and Xiao Shizhu's murmur: "Since I can go play, why wouldn't I do it?"
To the east of Liutianzhou, on the north bank of Wangchuan River.
Pieces of domed military tents were neatly arranged on the open sea-facing plain of a hundred miles, forming an endless camp.
Countless antlers and horses circled the ground around the camp, forming a long barrier to protect the camp.
There were countless flags in the camp, fluttering in the wind. Groups of mighty Fengdu soldiers were interspersed between the tents, walking back and forth with neat and powerful steps.
The spears and spears held tightly in their hands pointed to the sky, like a mountain of swords; under the illumination of the overcast sun, they shone with a cold light full of murderous intent.
In the deepest part of the camp, on the coast. King Qin Guang stood facing the sea with his hands behind his hands, silently looking at the two rough seas in front of him.
He didn't bring a single soldier with him, only the human soul of Gong Mingyi.
Ever since he made meritorious service in the last battle of Fengyan City and was praised by Emperor Fengdu, King Qin Guang has completely regarded this brat as his confidant, taking him with him at all times in order to better advise him.
At this moment, King Qin Guang was looking at the huge waves in front of him, whistling and roaring from a distance, and rushed over without hesitation. He then violently slapped the rocks at his feet, but they collapsed at the first touch and retreated in an instant with the waves behind him.
Merged into one, leaving only the sound of waves and wind mixed together, lingering in King Qin Guang's ears for a long time.
All this made King Qin Guang feel excited, excited, and somewhat elated.
Opposite this sea is the Dunshen Kingdom that they are about to attack after a short rest. There is a new opportunity to make meritorious deeds. It is only separated by a sea. It is so close. How can King Qin Guang not be excited?
?
It's strange to say that in front of King Qin Guang there are clearly two oceans, but he can tell where the dividing line is at a glance. In front of his feet, there is a very obvious boundary, winding like a long snake, moving forward
It extended to the horizon beyond the reach of his eyes.
The ocean north of the dividing line is as blue as glass, and the waves are as bright as a flat mirror. Even the sea breeze and waves are much gentler.
But the ocean to the south is boundless turbidity, with rough waves and strong winds, like lions roaring and tigers roaring all year round.
Between clear and turbid, the clear water in the north and the turbid water in the south flow in the same ocean, but they are connected to each other but do not mix with each other.
"Back then, the ancient gods saw that the Qinglong sea water could not be blended into the Huangquan sea, and the same was true for the Huangquan sea water, and they suddenly had inspiration in their hearts." The sea breeze ruffled King Qin Guang's hair, but he ignored it. He
His eyes glanced at the blue sky in the north
After Long Hai, he quickly turned his head to look at the turbid Huangquan Sea in the south. He slowly said to Gong Mingyi, who was not far behind him: "That's why they created the Jing and Wei rivers in the world." His voice was suppressed because of his restraint.
I can't help but tremble with the excitement that keeps rising in my heart
Literally, resulting in a slight hoarseness.
Gong Mingyi didn't say anything, nor did he glance at the two magical oceans. He just stared at the source of the Wangchuan River in the south, not far away.
He quietly watched the turbid sea water, rolling up countless huge waves several feet high, pouring into the river like thousands of troops, and instantly turned into blood-yellow river water.
His eyes were focused, as if he was more interested in why the seawater immediately turned into blood yellow just after entering the river.
He remained silent, but King Qin Guang did not realize that he was boring, and instead talked more happily. Anyway, Gong Mingyi was such a human soul, and when he was not doing business, he was always taciturn. After getting along for a long time, Qin Guang, who was not used to it,
Prince Guang was quite used to it, so he didn't bother to argue with him.
He kept boasting about the great achievements of the ancient gods, and the more he spoke, the louder and louder he became, and his tone became more passionate. It wasn't until he felt his mouth go dry as he spoke, that he suddenly stuck out his tongue and licked his somewhat dry hands.
When they touched their lips, Gong Mingyi said lightly: "You'd better not talk about the deeds of the ancient gods in the future."
King Qin Guang was slightly startled, turned around and glanced at his thin back, and asked stupidly: "Why?".
Gong Mingyi took a deep breath and said, "Emperor Fengdu doesn't like it." His tone was as calm as ever, without any fear and a bit calm and composed, as if the words were said casually.
The focused gaze revealed in his eyes has never been withdrawn from the source of the Wangchuan River. But deep in the seemingly calm eyes, hidden is infinite ambition, and the hatred and anger that penetrate into the bone marrow.
After his reminder, King Qin Guang realized that all the ancient gods were the mortal enemies of Emperor Fengdu. Although those ancient gods had long since perished to the point where their bones were gone, to Emperor Fengdu, they would always be a thorn in Emperor Fengdu's side.
, a thorn in the flesh; and the invisible hat they wear with the word "anti-thief" written in big letters on their heads can never be taken off.
After King Qin Guang thought about it for a moment, he suddenly realized that it made sense, so he nodded and said "hmm", keeping this reminder in mind.
"Have you heard? Yintian and Zuitian have joined me again." After a moment, King Qin Guang once again looked at the endless waves in front of him, and the blood in his chest increased instead of decreasing; but his face was full of blood.
He frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "I will do whatever it takes to achieve meritorious service." After finishing his words, he sneered.
"I heard." Gong Mingyi still didn't look back.
After a pause, he added: "But we won, so we are not afraid." There was no trace of fear between his brows, and there was still a hint of confidence.
He knew exactly what Emperor Fengdu wanted. As long as he won, he didn't care what means he used to win. Therefore, the so-called snitching did not scare Gong Mingyi at all.
He knew better that in the eyes of the Lord of the Underworld, all souls except his own were worthless and could be sacrificed for his throne and his safety at any time and at any time.
Therefore, Gong Mingyi was completely unafraid of his bad ideas for King Qin Guang, because he knew that Emperor Fengdu only wanted to win. And since he was so calm, King Qin Guang naturally had no worries about what he would do after following his strategy.
The two ghosts didn't even feel the slightest bit of guilt in their hearts.
Although he was not worried about "if they continue to arrange charges for me", King Qin Guang couldn't help but be curious and wanted to hear Gong Mingyi's advice, so after a pause, he asked: "What should I do?".
"Accept all orders." Gong Mingyi said calmly without thinking.
"While acknowledging these mistakes, I also explained that these mistakes were made just to ensure the victory of the war and to say more good things for the two Yin commanders." Gong Mingyi's words were very soft, amidst the roaring sea wind and the roar of the waves,
Seems weak and powerless: "It's better to give all the credit to them, so that the rewards given to you will be more and more.".
King Qin Guang heard this very clearly, and after hearing the words, he slightly nodded his head to show his agreement; now he is no longer just a greedy man, he understands more or less, for this war, who wants to
Whoever can make Emperor Fengdu win will be qualified to be reused.
Now, he is the qualified ghost.
And if he wanted to get back his lost rights, he would have to be like Gong Mingyi, who would do whatever it takes to ensure his own interests. So not only did he slightly lower his head, but he also let out a heavy "Hmm!"
Finally, the moment Gong Mingyi heard the word "um" coming out of his mouth, he slowly turned his eyes away from the source of the Wangchuan River, then turned around and slowly came to stand next to him, standing shoulder to shoulder with him.
After looking around for a long time to make sure that there was no one else around but the two of them, he took out a memorial from his sleeve and quickly handed it to King Qin Guang: "I have already written the memorial for you.
alright.".
King Qin Guang opened it and took a look, but saw that there was not much content on it. He could read it all in a few glances at most. He saw his eyes moving up and down, and his eyes moved back and forth between the lines. After a moment, he suddenly closed the memorial;
A proud smile.
"I will make a copy of it when I get back, and then submit it to Fengdu immediately." King Qin Guang put the memorial into his arms.
"No." Gong Mingyi shook his head gently, closed his eyes slightly and said softly: "You have to wait until Emperor Fengdu receives the memorials they have submitted to you many times before sending this one away; only then will it appear natural and appropriate.
”.
"And I predict that they won't take you across the sea again this time, but you can't be unconvinced. Wait patiently until they are defeated and Emperor Fengdu personally names you to cross the sea to quell the rebellion, and then set off for the Kingdom of the God of Escape."
Smooth, neither urgent nor slow, as if it has already been predicted that cloudy and rainy days will naturally lead to defeat.
The faint smile hanging on his face now had a hint of a knife hidden in it.
