Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 3 Negotiation

Next, Wufeng convened Liang Chongxin, Cui Wenxiu, and Mo Lun to discuss how to cooperate with each other in order to find clues in the shortest possible time and solve the obstruction of banditry to local economic development as soon as possible. Both Liang Chongxin and Cui Wenxiu pointed out that the three largest bandit organizations in Qingyang Prefecture were the "Purple Turban Bandit", "Black Tiger", and "Iron Cavalry Club". Intelligence about their activities makes it impossible to act. Wufeng turned his gaze to Morun, "Moron, what do you think?"

Mo Lun thought for a while, "Our intelligence bureau, police station, and security bureau didn't have any valuable information, but I judge that they should still be in our Qingyang territory and have not left."

"Then what is your basis?" Liang Chongxin and Cui Wenxiu asked in unison.

"According to the information we have, these three organizations have more than a thousand members, and have been active in the Northwest for nearly ten years. They are all over two thousand, while the Cavalry Association is mainly composed of horse thieves and mainly cavalry. Such a large organization cannot just walk away, and our intelligence does not show that there is a large-scale outflow of personnel, nor do the surrounding counties. This is one of the signs of their activities; the location of Qingyang Mansion is located on a major traffic road, especially after the Luobei people were repelled, the number of caravans coming and going increased significantly, which is the most suitable for the survival of these bandit organizations that make a living by plundering If you want to abandon this foundation and build another base, it will take a lot of work. I think these people may not be willing. Timing, wait and see, this is the third. So I judge that they should still be lurking in our Qingyang territory." Mo Lun carefully analyzed.

Wufeng and the others were all convinced by Mo Lun's words, but Cui Wenxiu immediately asked: "Then where are these people hiding now?"

"This is just my inference, and it may not be completely accurate. I don't know where it is. If I knew, I would have told you a long time ago, and there is no need to play tricks here." Mo Lun replied angrily, "However, they are a large group of people. Although Qingyang Mansion has a large area, there are not many places suitable for them to hide. There are many dense forests and deep mountains in the area where we border Jinzhou and the Grand Duchy of Luzon. I guess they should Hiding in these areas is why we spent so much energy not finding it."

Liang Chongxin raised another question: "How do these people supplement their supplies? This is not a small amount."

Mo Lun also nodded, squinting his eyes, "I'm also thinking about this issue, one is that there is a loophole in our monitoring of Qingyang territory, the other is that they have stored sufficient supplies, and the third is that they are using special channels to Resupply in places other than Qingyang. The first possibility is relatively small. We have already adopted multiple monitoring measures, and there should be no loopholes. The second possibility is certain, but even so, two months have passed , must be almost exhausted, as long as they show up, they will show their feet. The third possibility is the most, if these people are a little smarter, they can get supplies from our neighboring counties through abnormal channels, because they The base may be on the border of these areas. I also ignored this at the beginning, only in this way can these guys hide for so long without being discovered."

Wufeng, Liang Chongxin, and Cui Wenxiu all nodded in agreement with Mo Lun's point of view. As expected of someone who studied law, he really has a careful mind and is impeccable.

"Very good, as long as the crux of the problem is found, then the right medicine can be prescribed. Morun, in addition to continuing to strengthen the monitoring of suspicious targets in our own territory, immediately organize people to the neighboring Luzon, Jinzhou, Bonan, Yinchuan, Gaochang and other places secretly monitor the large-scale local grain merchants. With so many people, their consumption must not be small. It is estimated that they will find those large-scale merchants. We don’t consider that we will go to those places to search for clues. As long as we keep a close eye on these people, we will definitely be able to find clues. In addition, we can send some people to search for those places where the terrain is easy to hide in the border area between us and neighboring areas. However Be careful not to startle the enemy, if there are any clues to feedback in time, Mo Lun is responsible for the specific measures. The troops must step up training and be ready to go out anytime and anywhere." Wufeng made careful arrangements.

While the investigation was in full swing, on February 20, a special guest came to Qingyang Mansion. This person's whereabouts are secretive. After entering the city from the west gate, he looked around to understand the local social situation and the military garrison situation. Finally, he went to the battlefield to observe the military training of the troops. His actions quickly attracted the attention of the Security Bureau. When he left the arena, the personnel from the security bureau had already firmly watched him, but to the surprise of the security bureau followers, this person came to the Chengshou mansion in a big way, and posted a request to see Li Wufeng .

The receptionist saw that he was dressed in plain clothes and was unwilling to reveal his identity. He just asked Wufeng to meet him in person, so he reported Wufeng. Wufeng was discussing with Ling Tianfang about the recent abnormal mobilization exercise of the Yinchuan Army. What is the purpose, and how to contact and negotiate with the forces around the Luobei people. Fortunately, except for the Chidi people, all other forces have permanent offices in Qingyang.

When the reception staff reported to Wufeng, Wufeng also felt a little strange. Could it be that this person has something shameful to tell him in person? Ling Tianfang even wondered if it might be a disguised assassin sent by a hostile force. Just in case, Kang Jianguo, the captain of Wufeng's personal guard, personally inspected the visitor's whole body and found that there was nothing abnormal about the person except that there was a secret letter hidden in his shoe. unpack.

While Kang Jianguo reported these situations to Wufeng, the personnel from the Security Bureau also fed back the information to Wufeng. Wufeng couldn't help but become interested in the visitor, and ordered Kang Jianguo to bring him to the living room.

"I am Li Wufeng. If you have anything to say, you can say it now." Li Wufeng looked at the visitor with a smile on his face. This is a middle-aged man who looks very ordinary. From the appearance, he should have the blood of nomads. His skin is yellowish, his eyes are black, but his hair is naturally curly. He has a hooked nose and thin lips. He is a strong-willed type characters.

The people who came here were also a little surprised. The young man in front of him was so young, but the arrogance exuded from his body made people know that he was the master of this place. "I am from the West Tengger Grassland, my name is Kalong, and I am the envoy sent by our Chidi King Muruya."

Wufeng and Ling Tianfang exchanged knowing glances, trying their best to hide the joy in their hearts. They really just wanted to sleep when someone brought a pillow. Just now they were talking about how to send someone to contact the Chidi people. The envoy is already sitting in front of him. It seems that the Chidi people must have the same idea as him, so he can make good use of it.

Wufeng pretended to be surprised, and hurriedly greeted the visitor to take a seat, "Oh, it turned out to be a friend from afar, please take a seat."

Immediately, Kalong took out the sealed letter and handed it to Wufeng with both hands, "This is a secret letter from our king to your lord, please check the seal and read it again."

Wufeng was also very cautious. He used his hands secretly to prevent the secret letter from being poisoned. He took the secret letter and looked at the sealing wax. After unpacking, there was only one page inside, and there was only one sentence written on it: "There is Kalong going to your land, and the plenipotentiary will discuss relevant matters on his own. Muruya", and there is also a vivid wolf-head imprint on it.

Wufeng read the secret letter and handed it to Ling Tianfang. Ling Tianfang looked it over, nodded, and handed it back to Wufeng.

When the attendant brought the tea, Kalong took a sip and put the teacup on the table.

Wufeng is also carefully observing the person in front of him. He is definitely a person who can be chosen by Chidi as a special envoy and plenipotentiary to represent Muruya to negotiate. Judging by the way he drinks tea, he should be from a noble family. Nomads are used to drinking brick tea, bitter tea, Tuocha and other strong flavored teas, which are quite different from the green tea and scented tea preferred by people in the eastern mainland and the black tea traditionally preferred by people in the central and western continents. Because the staple food of the nomadic people is mainly beef, mutton and cheese, and they also like to drink milk of cows and goats, so they must drink strong tea every day to relieve greasy, otherwise people will get sick. Therefore, ordinary herdsmen are used to drinking brick tea, bitter tea, tuo tea and other teas, but feel that the taste of other teas is too bland and tasteless. Only their aristocrats, like the residents of the Eastern Continent, regard drinking green tea as a living habit. And this person can be seen from his tea drinking posture and attitude towards tea tasting that he has been drinking green tea for a long time, so it can be concluded that he was born in the Chidi noble family.

"This is the top-quality green tea produced in Jiangnan County of our empire---the sparrow's tongue. From the shape of the tea, it looks like the tip of a bird's tongue. I brought it back from the imperial capital Zhongzhou. Mr. Envoy, does it taste good?" Wufeng also deliberately did not ask Kalong why he came, and instead talked about the tea ceremony with him.

"Tranquility and freshness, endless aftertaste, it really lives up to its reputation." Half-closed his eyes, nodded with great enjoyment, as if he was still thinking about it.

"Master Special Envoy, if you like it, I can bear the pain and give you some, but the amount is not much." Wu Feng rubbed his chin and said hesitantly.

"Your majesty, can't you give me more? You still don't know why I'm here." Caron replied with a pretentious gesture.

"Everyone is a sensible person. We also know the reason for Mr. Kalong's visit. It is easier to talk to people who understand it. Don't you think so, Mr. Kalong?" Ling Tianfang interjected calmly.

Taking a closer look at Ling Tianfang, it seems that this person is not easy to deal with, "Oh, that's just right, I hope our conversation can satisfy both parties." With a smile, it seems that these two guys are old and cunning things. If you want to wait for them to speak, you don't know how long you have to wait. "Then we can get to the point."

Wufeng also nodded, "That's fine, as for the tea ceremony, it's not too late to discuss it after we finish talking about the business."

"Our Majesty wants to know about your situation ~IndoMTL.com~ to see if we can form an alliance to deal with the Luobei people." Caron cut to the chase and went straight to the point.

"Then what does your king want to know?" Wufeng asked very casually.

"Your overall strength, especially the strength of the army, the support of the people for you, and the state of your defense facilities." Caron cherishes words like gold.

"As for the attitude of the common people, I believe that Mr. Kalong has already understood. The combat effectiveness of the army has been verified in the war last year. As for the defense facilities, Mr. Kalong has also seen that we are stepping up construction." Ling Tianfang A few words of understatement summed it up.

"With all due respect, the support of the common people is indeed very high, but I don't fully understand the strength of your army. Last year's war was very accidental, which doesn't explain anything. As for your defense, it can be said now Equal to zero, if the enemy attacks, there is no ability to resist." Caron's words were very sharp.

Wufeng also felt that the person in front of him spoke very sharply, and even he felt that it was a bit difficult to hear, but when he thought about it carefully, he was looking at the problem on behalf of the other party, and he saw the problem more clearly and thoroughly. Most of the time, I just don't want to think about the bad side.

"What should Mr. Yikalong mean?" Ling Tianfang asked vaguely.

"I want to know your exact situation to decide whether to form an alliance with you." Caron's tone was very firm.

It seems that this person is a difficult guy, and I don't know whether he is satisfied with my little possessions. If you are not satisfied, this covenant may be ruined. Wufeng and Ling Tianfang exchanged glances and nodded, "Okay, let's think about it. Mr. Kalong can take a rest first, and we can discuss it before replying to you."
