Volume Four, The Year of the Curtain, Chapter 196: Negotiations Can Not Be Battles
Negotiation is a battle. To put forward the conditions first is to make the first move.
Ning Que and Ye Hongyu are very good at fighting. They know that the one who puts forward the conditions first will definitely get the upper hand in this battle, so they both believe that they should put forward the conditions first.
"This is Chang'an City, my home court." Ning Que said.
Ye Hongyu looked at him quietly and said: "The situation in your Tang country is dangerous now. The cavalry of the Golden Tent Royal Court and the coalition forces of our temple are still on your land."
Ning Que said: "Although this kind of thing is a bit troublesome, it is not the key reason. The temple master has been abolished, the headmaster has also been abolished, and your brother has also been abolished. I really don't understand where your confidence lies."
Ye Hongyu said: "The situation in the academy should be even worse. Mr. Second has broken his right arm holding the sword. I heard that Mr. Da and Twenty-Three-Year Cicada are still in wheelchairs. As for the rest of your fellow disciples, I am in front of Qingxia
Looking at their injuries, I knew they wouldn't be able to recover in a short time."
Ning Que looked at her and said seriously: "You forgot me."
Ye Hongyu looked at him and said calmly: "The problem is that you can't leave Chang'an. You may be invincible here, but if you leave Chang'an City, there are many people in the Taoist sect who can kill you."
Yes, Ning Que never left Chang'an City after the New Year, because only here could he borrow the power of the Shocking God Formation through the Formation Eye Pestle. After leaving Chang'an, although he was also a strong man in the Fate-Knowing Realm, he was far away.
It is far from powerful enough to affect the entire human world.
Ye Hongyu continued: "The Tao Sect has been around for thousands of years, and it is like the vast sea. Although it is a little dim above the waves now, if you want to see it, I can find ten fate-knowing realms for you at any time."
If her words are not exaggerated, these words are indeed enough to scare most people in the world to death. You should know that in some small countries, even a practitioner in the realm of knowing destiny cannot be found.
But this was not enough to scare Ning Que. He said: "Even if one day in the future, Zhi Ming is everywhere and the Apocalypse is as numerous as dogs, it doesn't make any sense. If they dare to come to Chang'an City, kill one and two.
One kills a pair. If you cannot reach the realm of the master of the temple, then you will die."
Ye Hongyu said: "Will you stay in Chang'an City for the rest of your life?"
Ning Que heard these words and felt like a wedding vow, and said with a smile: "If it is really necessary, I will have to do this. Fortunately, there are wine, meat and beauties in Chang'an City, so it won't be too boring."
It seemed like they were fighting over who could raise the conditions first, but in fact both parties had put their own chips on the table. Ning Que didn't wait for Ye Hongyu to continue speaking, and suggested: "Maybe we can make fists. This is fair and simple."
Ye Hongyu frowned slightly.
Ning Que said: "You are a Taoist idiot. You claim to know everything, but you don't know how to do boxing? You must know that boxing is also a science of victory and defeat, and the most important thing is spirit and algorithm..."
Before he finished speaking, Ye Hongyu asked: "What punch?"
Ning Que said: "Yin fist."
Ye Hongyu asked: "What kind of punch is this?"
Ning Que said: "You want to learn? I can teach you."
…
…
Without any surprise, Ye Hongyu lost. Although she was a Taoist who knew everything, she could never be Ning Que's opponent when it came to gambling.
You must know that Ning Que has been gambling since he was a child, from Weicheng to Chang'an, and after going through hardships and even escaping from death before he was finally able to practice, the first thing he thought of was to go to a gambling shop to win money.
Ye Hongyu was very angry. Not only because she didn't like losing, but more importantly because she finally understood what the word "yindang" in "yindang fist" meant, and it actually meant the word "yindang".
Ning Que explained: "This is a culture with great historical heritage. I am not trying to take advantage of you."
Ye Hongyu took a deep breath of the slightly cold air, and the moisture of the spring rain moistened her lungs, allowing her to finally control her emotions, thinking that there would be no other such shameless person in the world.
"The Temple Alliance forces withdraw from Qinghe County. We must take back Qinghe County."
Ning Que's expression became serious and he said, "There is no room for discussion on this matter."
Ye Hongyu's expression remained unchanged, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking. He asked, "What are your surnames?"
Ning Que said: "Of course they will all be killed."
Ye Hongyu was still noncommittal and said, "Continue."
Ning Que said: "The State of Yan respectfully sent back the remains of the soldiers of the Northeast Frontier Army. Prince Chongming came to Chang'an City to plead guilty and knelt down in front of the spirit for a night. We have no more demands."
"Continue."
"In order to express the sincerity and peaceful gesture of the Tang Dynasty, we are willing to withdraw from the Yuelun Kingdom, but Congling must be given to us, and the River Kingdom must obtain permanent neutral status."
"Any more?"
"there is none left."
"Would you like to hear about the conditions of the temple?"
"To be honest, I really don't want to hear it, because neither the academy nor the court will agree."
"But you have to listen eventually."
"It's already noon, let's eat first."
…
…
Ning Que asked Ye Hongyu to change out of the robe of the God of Judgment. What is a bit sad is that the clothes Ye Hongyu changed from back then are still there in the plum garden.
The two of them walked to the bank of Yanming Lake, followed the wooden bridge among the reeds to the west, walked to the street, and left Liu Yiqing in front of the courtyard to thank everyone for their support.
She bought a few sesame seed cakes on the street to satisfy her hunger. Ning Que took her and continued walking towards Nancheng. On the road, he saw many people holding crutches and many disabled soldiers.
Most of the disabled soldiers were brought back from the front line, with broken limbs and legs, which looked very miserable, while most of the common people came to Chang'an.
i suffered injuries.
"The whole city is full of crutches."
Ye Hongyu said: "The Tang Dynasty has become so miserable, why does the academy still need to hold on?"
Ning Que said: "The same picture can be interpreted in different ways. From the perspective of your temple, so many injured people holding crutches are enough to prove that our Tang Dynasty is about to be unable to hold on. But in my opinion, on the contrary, this proves
Datang is still very strong because we have
The ability to rescue the wounded from the front line. The most important thing is that even in the face of such a terrible enemy as the viewer, no matter how ordinary Tang people dare to fight with him. Are the city full of crutches? No, in my eyes these are
These are not crutches, these are knives, very sharp knives."
Ye Hongyu said nothing more.
Arriving at the entrance of Nancheng Shishi Lane, Ning Que stopped. There were two big trees at the entrance of the lane. One didn't know what kind of tree it was, and the other didn't know what kind of tree it was. They were gradually turning green in the spring breeze.
Ye Hongyu asked: "The bookworm is gone?"
Ning Que said: "She is studying with senior brother in the academy."
Ye Hongyu said: "If you want to ask about the way of heaven, how can you be trapped by love?"
"I just thought about this issue a few days ago."
Ning Que walked under the tree and looked for green buds and leaves among the bare branches, but found it difficult.
"Previously we saw these two trees turning green in the spring breeze, but now when we walk under the trees, it is difficult to find green buds. The way of heaven is like spring, we can only see it from a distance, not up close, and love and the like
Small things in the world are like green shoots. You see God's will but cannot capture it, precisely because you are unwilling to lower your body to the dust and put your eyes between these bare and ugly tree barks. The way of God is a trivial matter."
He looked at Ye Hongyu, frowned slightly and said, "I didn't see the second senior brother from Qingxia fighting Liu Bai or Ye Su. But you did. Didn't your thoughts change at all?"
Ye Hongyu thought of what his brother said before leaving and remained silent.
"Everyone's way is different. The teacher's way is against heaven. What is your way?"
Ning Que looked at her and said, "What are you pursuing in this life? In the past, you thought about catching up with your brother. Become a strong man in the Taoist sect and let your brother be the master of the temple. But what's the point of being the master of the temple?
It's not like you have been wandering in the South China Sea for decades, and you can't even go back to Zhi Shou Guan. Later, you have to become the strongest.
To surpass your brother. What's the point? You and I may be the two best fighters in the world. No one can be our opponent in the same realm, but have you ever thought about it? I can't become a master, and you can't.
It's impossible to become as powerful as the master of the temple, so what's the point of continuing to practice like this?"
Ye Hongyu said: "Not everything needs to be interesting."
Ning Que said: "Teacher said that we live not to be meaningful, but to be interesting."
Ye Hongyu said: "I live to be stronger."
Ning Que asked: "I was also very eager to become stronger, because at that time I wanted to take Sangsang to live, and I wanted to take revenge, so I was obsessed, but you lived in Zhishouguan since you were a child, and then went to Taoshan
Entered the Tianyuan Court, and finally entered the Adjudication Department until now
i, life is smooth, where does the obsession in your heart come from?"
Ye Hongyu said calmly: "Not everything needs to have a reason. Becoming strong can be understood as some kind of instinct, just like an ant sees two green leaves and wants to take the big one. As a cultivator, I
I'm not interested in things like power or interests, but I always like the feeling of standing on the top of the mountain and looking at the scenery."
Ning Que recalled the scenery he had seen on the top of the mountain when he successfully climbed the mountain. At that time, the stars were like silver, clouds were flowing between the cliffs, and several peaks loomed in the distance. It was extremely beautiful.
"That feeling is really good."
He agreed with Ye Hongyu's statement.
Ye Hongyu said: "You didn't kill Li Yu, aren't you worried about civil strife?"
Ning Que looked at the calm-looking pedestrians on the street and said, "Have you seen the possibility of chaos in Chang'an City? The temple has many spies in Chang'an City. You should know that I can kill her at any time, but I just don't want to kill her for the time being.
"
"Do you not want to kill, or are you reluctant to kill?"
Ye Hongyu said: "The reason why you don't kill her is naturally because of her relationship with the Golden Horde Royal Court. You never mentioned the Golden Horde Royal Court before. It seems that you have already made plans for the north."
Ning Que said: "There is no arrangement."
Ye Hongyu said: "The temple has an influence on the Golden Tent Royal Court that the academy cannot imagine."
Ning Que said: "Isn't it the Immortal Heaven? When I passed by the wasteland last year, I felt a little weird. After having someone check it out, I found out that the temple has been preaching in the Golden Tent Royal Court these years. It's really interesting to talk about it. Haotian is like that
Do you think no one will recognize you if you change your vest?"
Ye Hongyu didn't expect that he already knew about this matter, and said: "Without any arrangements for the north, and rejecting the temple's good intentions, what exactly do you think about the Golden Tent Royal Court?"
Ning Que said: "I only have one idea about the Golden Horde."
Ye Hongyu asked: "What do you think?"
Ning Que said: "Kill them all."
