"Hey, we are all practitioners, don't look like you are possessed by ghosts."

Qing Zhi didn't understand why the officials on the opposite side were in a daze, as if they were poisoned and cursed. Maybe they wanted to bring some tea back.

Old Man Lu let out a long sigh.

He finally understood that the snake demon commander in front of him really didn't understand the rules of officialdom.

There are no expensive tables and chairs with hollow carvings, nor any items that reflect status. The simple flat metal table is very smooth, and the folding chairs that were opened just before sitting down have no scratches, let alone relief. .

As for etiquette, I can't even count on it.

Qing Zhi flipped through the documents casually, spread out his hands, and placed standard paper filled with dense text on the table.

"Let's start directly. The corvee laborers are not included in this. Your holy dynasty has increased its troops by a total of 2.1 million in two days. Why did you suddenly increase your troops?"

Governor Lu, the representative of the Holy Dynasty, habitually coughed lightly before speaking.

"Ahem, what's the point of you rashly invading our holy dynasty? The soldiers of our holy dynasty have the responsibility to defend our territory."

Hearing this, Qing Zhi rolled his eyes.

We are all sitting here, talking about boring nonsense reasons is a waste of time. Isn't it interesting to talk about boring nonsense?

"His the point."

Perhaps it was the neighing of snakes that made Old Man Lu understand that he should not use human tactics. The Snake Demon Empire might not understand why the Human Holy Dynasty suddenly increased its troops. After all, neither party intends to go shopping. It is possible that the Snake Demon Empire has more important things. .

I picked up the cup and took a sip of tea. It was a bit hot and the temperature was not right.

"In this case, Lu Mou said bluntly that the imperial court requires that your snake demon army must leave the territory of our Holy Dynasty. If you refuse to leave, you can only increase your troops and continue to fight. If all these two million people are dead and you increase your troops and continue to fight, the territory will not be able to leave!"

Although I don’t know if two million troops are enough, and I don’t know if the imperial court will mobilize troops. For negotiations, the tone must be tougher.

There is only one trick at the negotiating table, bluffing.

Qing Zhi crossed his arms and leaned back on the chair. Shutong glanced at the eyes of Old Man Lu and others.

The purple-robed Old Man Lu and other official representatives quickly pretended to be calm, fearing that the eyes of the snake demon would detect the clues. They tried their best to control every strand of hair so that the other party would not see anything strange.

They forgot a certain common sense due to nervousness. Most snake creatures are short-sighted...

It appears to be observing the opponent with both eyes, but it actually uses an upgraded infrared sensor to check the opponent's heartbeat, distinguish the speed of blood flow, and the details of energy changes around the body.

About two breaths passed.

Maybe Qing Zhi saw it or maybe he didn't, so he casually pulled out a military order from the documents.

With a flick of his finger, the military order document popped up and landed lightly in front of Old Man Lu. Representatives of various families turned to look over.

Old Man Lu took the paper and found that the paper was made of expensive material and had two kinds of characters on it.

One is the familiar universal script from prehistoric times, and the other is said to be a script written by the snake demon empire based on dragon language.

When he saw the written content, his hand shook and he almost threw the military order away. His face turned pale at first and then turned red, and his eyes were fixed on Qing Zhi.

"You actually increased your troops by 500,000! You really think that we, the human race, can be bullied!"

When I saw thousands of large and small ships coming in before, I suspected that the snake demon army was increasing its troops to deal with the reinforcements of the Holy Dynasty, but I didn't expect that there were half a million or 20,000 local defenders of the Holy Dynasty in Yunling. Now there are more troops. With half a million soldiers, are you planning to start a massacre?

Qing Zhi glanced at Old Man Lu, picked up the tea cup and drank tea, frowning, it was indeed a bit hot.

"As long as you agree to one thing, our empire will withdraw its troops at any time."

Many representatives of the holy dynasty on the opposite side were stunned.

Qing Zhi continued.

"As long as you don't interfere with the spiritual dragon's fusion of the earth veins, we will withdraw our troops immediately after the dragon veins are revived."

The top officials of the empire currently have no plans to target the newly created holy dynasty of the human race. They are sending troops to help the monster dragon revive and merge with the dragon vein. It has been found that the monster dragon accidentally built a dragon nest in the core of the dragon vein. This is a threat to the snake monster empire. good news.

Fusion of dragon veins controls the vitality of all things in a place. With the dragon's nest, it may be possible to transform into a dragon or even a dragon.

The supreme ruler of the Snake Demon Empire is the divine beast True Dragon. Both humans and demons in the empire worship the divine beast True Dragon crazily.

If given the opportunity to transform into a dragon, the Snake Demon Empire would be really excited and transform into a war machine as quickly as possible.

Looking at the stunned representatives of the Holy Dynasty, Qing Zhi shrugged.

"As long as the spiritual dragon merges with the dragon veins and becomes a god, within the scope of this land, ordinary gods will not be able to harm the spiritual dragon at all, and will no longer be able to nail the dragon veins. I am not afraid that you will target the spiritual dragon. Even if something happens, heavenly soldiers and generals can come to the lower world to protect you at any time. "

"Speaking of which, you can do such immoral things as nailing the dragon's veins. The last time it was done was by the demon army."

A few words made the representative of the Holy Dynasty look very excited.

Nailing the dragon's veins was beneficial to the rule of the Holy Dynasty, but it was too much, and even worse, the dragon's veins were taken away to refine the weapon.

Old Man Lu could only cough lightly and ignore the topic.

"Ahem, this matter has nothing to do with the Holy Dynasty. We will investigate the specific person who did it. Again, this is the territory of our Holy Dynasty. As intruders, you must retreat. I will never do anything to betray the country. Deal!"

The words were ambiguous, not only did he not agree to allow the monster dragon to merge with the dragon vein, but he also did not clearly object to it, and he focused on the territory.

The Dragon Vein matter can be dealt with by Hu, but the territory is a matter of the Holy Dynasty's face.

Qing Zhi and several Snake Demon Army military attachés looked at each other in confusion. They were simple-minded and did not understand for the time being.

The high-ranking officials of the empire could guess what the Holy Dynasty was thinking. As generals, they were really not good at word games, but no matter how many tricks they had, they just had to follow one path to the end.

At this time, an immortal official from Heaven who had chosen to follow Lord Bai Yu came to Qing Zhi's ear and explained in a few words the old fox's thoughts and the purpose of the empire. As an old man who had been in Heaven for thousands of years, he knew more than Qing Zhi.

Qing Zhi blinked.

I feel that the world is too complicated and that as a monster, I am too simple.

No wonder the 500,000 snake demon army sent later are mainly junior recruits, with cultivation levels ranging from the Golden Core stage to the Divine Transformation stage. It was originally for training. I used to wonder why it was not the main army. Now I understand, the Holy Dynasty is doing it for the sake of face. , the empire wanted to train its troops.

He stretched out his hand and flicked it, and the military order document floated back into his hand.

Lean forward, rest your arms and elbows on the table, and support your chin with your hands.

The pointed ears swayed back and forth.

"Hey, are you sure you want to continue fighting?"

Old Man Lu didn't want to fight but he had to nod his head.

"I will not give up the Yunling Mountains. This is the decision of the Holy Dynasty and His Majesty!"

He expressed a firm stance, whether accidentally or deliberately bypassing the topic of the monster dragon. He knew that the emperor wanted to get the monster dragon, but the families did not want to sacrifice their lives for it. Obtaining the monster dragon would not benefit each family, so why should he risk his life for nothing.

The immortal official came to Qing Zhi's ear again and said a few words.

Since the other party can 'helplessly' ignore targeting the monster dragon, the main purpose has been achieved, and what needs to be done now is to prevent them from being pushed into a hurry.

"Hiss, our 20,000 troops are enough to protect the spiritual dragons, and we have dispatched 500,000 new recruits who have just finished their training. The empire really cares about the safety of the spiritual dragons."

Pretending to be helpless, he shook his head and quickly rearranged the paper documents with both hands.

The eyes of a group of pilgrim representatives opposite them lit up.

Recruit? New recruits are fine, as long as they are not the 20,000 elites before.

The old fritters instantly understood what the snake demon meant. The previous purpose of intimidation and threats was the dragon. Here they were vague and ignored the problem of the demon dragon. The other side immediately reciprocated the favor. The news revealed made them relieved. At least not too many people would die on their own side. Even if you lose, you will lose with dignity.

As long as you have face, everything is easy. Although His Majesty the Human Emperor has clamored to capture the monster dragon alive, the war on the frontline is ever-changing. You and your families can just keep the face of the Holy Dynasty. As for the monster dragon, whoever wants it can catch it himself.

Instantly, the atmosphere of the meeting became much more relaxed.

Both parties in this secret meeting maintained restraint and rationality and worked together for the cause of the armistice.

After the negotiation, Qing Zhi kindly escorted Old Man Lu to the cabin door and watched him fly back to the imperial ship with the representatives of each family. Back on the ship, Old Man Lu waved goodbye to the metal warship opposite.

He returned to the cabin with a smile and turned on the lights.

Several family representatives had relaxed expressions and even discussed the wonders of the Snake Demon Army warship.

The big ship turned around and dived into the dark clouds. The doors, windows and decks were wet with water vapor and raindrops. The sails were squeaking, and the ship's bow tilted downwards and headed straight for the Hajj army camp.

Sitting on a comfortable and exquisite luxury chair, stroking the exquisite withered flowers and the texture of precious materials, Old Man Lu finally regained some sense of high-class class. The beautiful maid who has been trained, the elegant tea-making movements, and the tea sets made by famous craftsmen who cherish the materials, Expensive aromatherapy reveals elegant taste everywhere.

"Huh, this is the kind of enjoyment we should have. The rude nature of monsters is hard to change."

The maid's little hands gently squeezed her shoulders and beat her legs, and the ultimate comfort was soothing to the bones.

Now that I don't have to worry about fighting with the snake demon army, the pressure is gone.

Another family representative took a sip of the invigorating spiritual tea and recalled the noisy environment and metal tables and chairs during the meeting.

"If I go to have a meeting in the future, I will have to bring my own tables, chairs, tea sets and maids. It will be really difficult for just a short period of time."

The old man from another family next to him waved his hand in disgust.

"Bah, there is no next time. Even if we have a meeting, I will definitely not go. For us, it is business to return to the tribe and hurry up to practice. Anyway, I will not lead the team next time, and it will not be our turn."

Other family representatives agreed one after another.

"Mr. Guo is absolutely right. If something happens in the future, whoever wants to come will come."

Old Man Lu also thinks it's good to bully small secular countries, and stay away from errands related to big forces in the future.

This time, I was very lucky. The snake monsters sent new recruits to try them out. What if there are half a million elites coming next time? Every one of them in the cabin will be captured alive because they have accumulated good deeds in their previous lives. I secretly remember that what caused me to come here is The opponents of the frontline warlords at court will be killed sooner or later.

Take a sip of tea and cough lightly.

"Ahem, I'm sure you all know what happened tonight."

A group of representatives who were pushed onto the stage and pushed to the battlefield nodded repeatedly.

Old Man Lu nodded with satisfaction upon seeing this.

"Let's start the war tomorrow. I don't need to tell you what to do. Don't take it lightly just because you are facing new soldiers. Don't be self-righteous and massacre low-level snake demons based on your immortal cultivation. Don't forget that those 20,000 elites are still in the clouds. ridge."

Many family representatives nodded in agreement.

"Understood, Lord Governor, please rest assured, we know what's going on."

The governor, Old Man Lu, was very satisfied with everyone's attitude and still glared at the threat.

"Whoever dares to break the rules will be killed by the other families!"
