Law of the Devil Chapter 261: [Hospitality]

Chapter 261 [Hospitality]

The news that the grassland envoy arrived in Loulan City has spread. Loulan City is getting lively these days. Everyone was talking about it at the end of the street, at the tavern hotel, and when the driver was gone.

Talking about it is nothing more than guessing the outcome of this negotiation.

The northwestern province of Desa is close to the frontiers of the prairie people. Leaving is the place that is most affected by the prairie people. Here the people are defended and they hate the prairie people. In the chaos of the streets, the main battle argument prevailed. And as Dewey's majesty deepened in the province of Desa, he won the hearts of the people and convinced everyone. I only feel that although the duke is young, he is worthy of his wiseness and magic, and he is also a mysterious and legendary magician. It has even increased the confidence of the people. Just thinking that even if the abominable prairie people come and are led by this magical duke, their own side will surely beat them down.

However, some business associations that come and go prefer peace talks. After all, businessmen stand for prosperity. In addition, there are many cattle, sheep, and horses on the grassland, which are scarce goods inside the mainland, and some fabrics and satin in the mainland, as well as daily necessities, can be sold on the grassland for a good price. It is a great source of money.

If the war starts, then this financial path will be broken. Therefore, the caravans coming and going are paying special attention to the news. Even outside the Duke's Mansion, there are several large business groups waiting to see if there is any new announcement from the Duke.

There is a lot of public opinion outside. Du Wei sits in the Duke's Mansion quietly, waiting for the presence of the prairie delegation. In his spare time, he can read the minutes of the previous negotiations brought by Villa, only to watch the fight play.

Finally, on this day, the grassland people's mission came from the capital. One thousand royal guards were "under protection", and the mission itself had a hundred people.

Headed by a guy named Hamuye. This Hamuyedowi already knew his identity. Forty years old this year, his identity on the prairie is also very sublime, but now he is the uncle of the princess of the royal family on the prairie. In other words, he is the uncle of the prairie king, and is also a prince.

Although the minutes of that meeting were mostly boring, but the information on this Hamuye was detailed. Information on the record shows. This guy is not only Uncle Wang, but also has a small tribe in his own hands. Doing business with several imperial business groups. Among the prairie people considered to be barbarians, many nobles of the empire highly valued this Hamuye and thought that he was relatively civilized.

Hammuye himself was very depressed. His gang of diplomats in the Imperial and Roland empires drooled for more than ten days without making any progress. It was pushed back to Northwest Desa Province.

Most importantly, in the wild race of the steppe, Hammuye is a rare long-sleeve figure. Respect for the strong on the prairie. However, Hammuye himself was not an outstanding warrior. He inherited a tribe based purely on his descent. After decades of career, he relied on keen observation. Standing beside his own nephew, relying on his mind, almost stabilized the position of the first think tank among the royal family members. Being able to do this in a barbarian race has to say that he is quite capable.

But. This time in the imperial capital negotiations, Hamouye was extremely embarrassed. While fighting with the officials of the empire, he secretly drew up and down, and he showed off many hidden lines that he had been in business for many years. He knew that now the Roland Empire was not Augustine VI, but the new regent.

Negotiations, if you can know the tone of the top leader of the other party, probe the other party's attitude. Can take the lead.

However, disappointing Hammuye is that this young regent seems to be difficult to deal with. He did some work under the mountain and spent a lot of money, but there was no news at all. It seems that the attitude of the regent is unknown to anyone else. And now, there is news that the Regent actually turned such a big thing on. Full power was given to this Duke of Tulips in the northwest ...

What kind of attitude is this?

Rolandans want to fight? In the end ...

Let Hammuye helplessly. The Duke of Tulips, though younger than Prince Chen. But it is not a good guy to deal with! Because ...

Either a politician or an official. Hammuye studied Roland culture for many years and knew the Roland bureaucracy very well. We can always find each other's weaknesses. However, this Duke of Tulips made him a little difficult.

The other party is young ... Most young people are hot-blooded, maybe they will be a main faction

However, the opponent is not a bureaucrat, but a magician! The magician has a strange temperament, and everyone knows it! There is no national principled stand for magicians. It's all just a matter of preference, and it's even more difficult to guess.

Every politician's opponents can always find clues about the opponent's weaknesses. They are greedy for money, lustful, good name or right, or bold and strong, or timid and weak, or calm and cautious ...

But these days, while on the road, Hammuye has carefully read the information about the Duke of Tulips in his hand, but came up with a result that made him very helpless: the tiger bit the turtle, nowhere Quit!

Are you rich? The wealth and transcendence of a magician do not value wealth.

Female color? This little duke is only fifteen years old ... and it is said that he even refused the marriage of the first beauty, the Marquise of Liszt in the Roland empire.

Do you like fame? This little duke's fame is already great.

Power? He is already a Duke!

Bold? Judging from what he did in the northwest, he was a brave guy.

Coward? Seems a little timid. He made peace with the Northwest Army, and heard that he also showed weakness to Bohan recently ...

Caution? It is relatively prudent, at least from the perspective of the other side's administrative policy, not to blindly expand the army, maintain a province with more than 20,000 troops, know the principle of gradual progress ... It is not easy for young people at this age.

Reckless? It's reckless enough! Going camp alone. He ran to the old nest of the Northwest Army ... This is obviously to take risks for his own safety.

Finally, Hammuyer came to a conclusion that made him feel crazy:

The opponent of this negotiation, Duke Tulip, is a magician who is not greedy for money, bad name, bad name and power, and also killed a bold, timid, cautious and reckless guy ...

This ... what the **** **** conclusion!

I am afraid that the only chip that can be used as a reference is: After all, this military friction happened in the province of Desa. The Duke of Tulips is the main "party"!

Then he might fight because of his anger ... or maybe because he was closest to the steppe front. And timid.

... still no clue!

With this uneasiness, he finally arrived in Loulan City, the province of Desa.

After the end of the previous war, Hammuye was ordered to take the mission to the capital of the Roland Empire, but in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they and their group quietly went on the road without passing through Loulan City, but instead detoured. This time when I came to Loulan City, the first reaction of Hamuye was:

There is such a great city in the northwest? !!

Three months previously rumored to build a new city. Although it was established at the time. But after all, there is no TV news in this world, most people just hear it. The news was so magical that it made people doubtful.

I finally saw this great city today, which made Han Muye feel with emotion: Such a city ... Was it really built in three months?

Hum ... I'm afraid it might not be three months. The Rolandans have always been cunning, so they make things mysterious. It's not without.

The convoy entered the city all the way, although protected by soldiers, and the Duke of Tulips ordered martial law, but sat in a carriage. Hammuye could also faintly feel that the eyes of those watching in the distance were mostly filled with hostility.

Well ... the people under him all have this attitude, so I am afraid that it will be the same as the leader.

Han Muye did not care about the attitudes of these civilians, and calculated in his heart that after seeing the young duke for a while, should his attitude be appropriately tough? Is it appropriate to show a little friendliness ...

The team finally arrived in front of the Duke's House. The carriage stopped before the suspension bridge, then martial soldiers stood on both sides of the street, and the entire street was blocked.

Han Muye stepped out of the carriage with the help of two young prairie guards around him, looked up at the castle in front of him, and then looked at the Roland officials in front of him.

Dada Neil, in the uniform of the Imperial City Keeper, greeted him and introduced himself first. Then smiled lightly: "Please come with me, please."

Han Muye couldn't help feeling a little bit upset. His princely status on the prairie. Even if the other party is making the Duke of Tulips not to greet him, he must send a deputy. But only to the other city guards ... Is it deliberately giving yourself power?

As Dardanelle walked into the castle. Hammuye was taken into a luxuriously furnished conference hall. Before he entered the door, he took a deep breath, some in his heart eagerly looking forward to meeting this opponent, but unfortunately pushed in the door to take a look, but was disappointed!

A bold, fat man was sitting in the door, seeing that Han Muye pushed in the door, quickly got up, opened his mouth and laughed, it was very hearty, and then he strode forward, no matter what the politeness was, He gave Hamuye a warm hug in the way of the prairie.

"It is a great honor to have an old friend here! Unfortunately, this is not a grassland, otherwise there must be a good cider to entertain the VIPs!"

Han Muye was a little confused by the other side. After taking a step back, he looked at each other's eyes carefully before he came to his senses. His face smiled barely, concealing the strangeness in his heart: "Oh ... it's Long General Barton! I have n’t seen you for many years, but your body is so strong! I heard that you joined the Tulip family last year, and everyone was a good friend on the grassland. Speaking of which, we do n’t know each other! ”

Lombaton smiled like a reckless husband. He took Hamuye's hand and walked into the banquet hall. After sitting down, Hamuye looked around and laughed, "I don't know where the Duke is. What? "

"Oh, our Duke was busy studying a new set of magic last night, so this morning. I was ordered to welcome him in your place." Longbaton laughed: "Prince, you know , Our Duke is a magician, and his temper is naturally weird. But when we meet with old friends, everything can be talked about! "

Han Muye's heart was unhappy, and his face forced him to not show up. He said lightly: "Since then, I might as well go back to rest. When the Lord Duke is free, let's sit down and talk together. "

"No rush, no rush!" Longbatton smiled, then stretched out his palm and touched it in his arms for a long time before he came up with a document, but he didn't know how to get it in his arms, It was crumpled, as if with some sweat. Longbaton smiled on the table. Pushed in front of Hamuye and laughed: "Our Lord Duke said, although everyone has some friction, the friendship between the empire and the prairie people has a long history and a little misunderstanding. You can't damage the friendship between the two sides, so, since everyone is a good friend , What things can't sit down and talk slowly? "

It's like a human word! He murmured in his heart. Looking at the wrinkled thing in front of him as if it was stained with fat sweat, I could not help but feel sick, frowning: "Then this thing is ..."

"This is an agreement drafted by our Lord Duke. Everyone is a good friend, and this friction does not happen. For the friendship of everyone, the Lord Duke said, this time things will be big. Small, miniaturization is fine. Good friends shouldn't care about these things. "

"Agreement?" Hammuyer took it. Endured with the disgusting urge, I opened my eyes and saw the above terms, and suddenly became furious, and suddenly slammed the table: "Long Barton! Is the Duke of Tulips playing with me !!!"

The "Agreement" clearly states: As a party provoking this friction, in order to reflect the friendship between the two parties, the prairie people must make certain compensation to the empire, including: 30,000 horses. 50,000 cattle and sheep. Five thousand slaves. At the same time bear all the costs of rebuilding the city of Giliat ...

"Lombaton!" Hamouye said angrily: "It seems that the Lord Duke has no sincerity in peace talks, since that is the case. What else am I here to do! Amuse me with this joke !!!"

Longbottom rubbed his nose, the smile on his face faded, and he said lightly: "Hanmuye, I have been in the Northwest for so many years. Do you see me like that kind of kidding! "

After speaking, he stood up: "I was just ordered to spread the word, I gave you the things, Lord Duke said, if you want to leave, we will send them ... but he also said that Prince Hammuye is A general person is a smart wise king who takes into account the friendship of everyone in his heart and does not make any reckless moves. Moreover, this thing is not to be negotiated, so ... you take this thing Next, and then think carefully, and wait for tomorrow Lord Duke's business is over, you can set a price again, everyone can discuss it.

Han Muye suddenly calmed down ... Well, the Duke of Tulips seemed to be a main faction ... a tough attitude ... it was also a means of negotiation.

Thinking of this, he laughed instead: "Okay! I'll stay a few more days. I should be done with the Duke tomorrow, right? I'll accept this thing, and tomorrow I will be empty for the Duke, we will Let ’s talk more slowly. ”

After speaking, Hammuye put up with anger, still holding a smile on his face, and stood up: "Then ... please excuse me, I was tired all the way, and I was a bit tired, I do n’t know where I live tonight What? "

Longbaton smiled: "Old friend, our Duke is a hospitable man. How could he neglect a good friend! Arrangements have already been made! You are satisfied!"

After that, the fat man led Hamuye out of the house, walked out of the castle through the back door, and came to the "specially prepared" residence for Hamuye.

Originally, Hammuye could still bear the anger, but when he looked at the "kind hospitality" of the other party, he couldn't help turning his face!

"Long Barton! You ..."

Long Barton smiled with a stern expression: "The Lord Duke said, he respects the martial arts of the prairie men and knows that we are not accustomed to living in the Landscaping Building of the Roland people. And what ... Lord Duke said, entertain The highest state of the guests is to be 'home away from home'! That is to say, it is only necessary for the guests to feel at home! So ... we have racked our brains and prepared such a place! Yi? Old friend, is it right? Are you dissatisfied? People in the grassland are not used to living here? "

In front of me is a tent in the middle of a vacant lot behind the castle. Looking at the tent, it seems that there is still some air leakage ...
