(Chapter 19) Unscrupulous Negotiations

After singing a happy little rp song, Li Xiaochen ordered someone to send the prepared pancakes and fruits to Narcissus, the commander of the Demon Army. He went down to the city wall and took a short rest. After roughly calculating the time, the main force of the Immortal Army should now be

They are still making a secret detour. I'm afraid there will be a delay in time. Originally, Li Xiaochen wanted to let them use the instant flying talisman to move as a whole. However, the immortal army has nearly 100,000 soldiers, and the number of talismans required is huge. Not long ago, the immortal

When the army made a surprise attack on the Demon Army's camp, the instant flight talisman seals were all rushed out. Now there is not so much time and energy to make enough instant flight talisman seals. Therefore, they can only use the usual method to move.

In order not to let the demon army notice, this time may have to drag on for a while. It is not difficult for Li Xiaochen and his one hundred soldiers to escape. What is difficult is to attract the attention of the demon army and lure them to go deeper.

While thinking about the strategy, a soldier suddenly came to report: "General Tianmeng, the commander of the demon army wants to invite you out for a party!"

"Oh? Now we can delay time." Li Xiaochen changed his clothes, brought some freshly baked pancakes and fruits, and prepared to go out to see the narcissus.

The soldier said worriedly: "General, do you really want to leave the city? This is probably a plan of the demon army. After you are transferred out, they may go all out to launch a storm and destroy this small town."[

"Didn't I give each of you a teleportation talisman? Use it quickly if necessary. It's important to escape."

"But what will you do, General?"

"Me?" Li Xiaochen laughed, "I have my own way of escaping. Just take care of yourselves. Remember, when I'm not around, you can choose the time to use the Instant Flying Talisman Seal. If I say it, it will be later.

I'll meet you. Don't worry."

"This... okay, General Tianmeng, take care! Be careful in everything!"

Li Xiaochen waved goodbye and walked out of the small town without paying any attention. A soldier of the Demon Army led him to a nearby hill. There was Narcissus waiting for him there. Li Xiaochen saw that Narcissus was not accompanied by soldiers.

He couldn't help but praise: "Sir Narcissus is indeed a commander who pays attention to morality. In fact, you can just drag people to attack me. Why do you need to call me here and play one-on-one?"

Narcissus set up a makeshift table and mat, asked Li Xiaochen to sit down, and said: "To deal with General Tianmeng, there is no use in playing tricks. On the surface, our numbers seem to be superior. But General Tianmeng is resourceful and has repeatedly

Defeat the demon army. How dare I mess up again? Or should I say, not setting up an ambush is a kind of respect to you."

Said, Narcissus picked up the wine bottle on the small table and poured wine into two wine glasses. At the same time, he secretly observed Li Xiaochen's expression.

There are only two of them here. One hundred thousand demon troops are surrounding the small city at the foot of the hill. From this height, no matter how you look at it, there are only a hundred people in the city at most. If this is all the people around Li Xiaochen, then

Taking this city was a piece of cake.

But through observation, he was not worried about the situation in the small town even though he was here. He didn't even take a glance. Such magnanimity is really admirable.

After pouring the wine, Narcissus held up the wine glass and said to Li Xiaochen: "Come, General Tianmeng, let me toast you first."

"Do it." Li Xiaochen didn't waste any time. He picked up the wine glass and drank it clean. Then he gave the pancakes and fruit he brought to Narcissus and said with a smile, "Have a try. This is freshly made. Eat it while it's hot.

It tastes good.”

Narcissus was not polite. After taking it, he immediately put it into his mouth and started chewing it as an appetizer.

"General Tianmeng, aren't you afraid that I will poison the wine?"

"Then you're not afraid that I'll poison the pancakes?"

The two sides looked at each other and immediately smiled knowingly. Li Xiaochen and Narcissus respected each other. A little trick like poisoning would only insult the other party. In this face-to-face conversation, no one would use third-rate tactics.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Narcissus suddenly said: "I run the army very strictly and never drink when I go on an expedition. But today I made an exception for General Tianmeng."

Li Xiaochen smiled lightly: "That's really my honor."

Narcissus also smiled: "To tell you the truth, as an opponent, I have hated you for a long time. The reputation of General Tianmeng has long been heard in my ears. It can be said that I listened to your 'heroic deeds' of defeating the demon army."

I grew up. The first time I fought with you, I didn’t expect you to be bold enough to single-handedly kill the stand-in for our army’s commander. Later, you used Ten Thousand Swords to kill more than 200,000 soldiers of our army. Two days ago,

You used a trick to lose another 200,000 yuan from our army. But your losses were far less than our army. I have to say, you did a great job. Here, I want to toast you again!"

Li Xiaochen clinked glasses with her, drank it down, and became interested. Why did the Narcissus choose this time to meet with him alone? In front of a hundred thousand demon army. She said she planned to use a trick.

It doesn't seem like it. He is very interested in knowing what kind of medicine the other person is selling in his gourd.[

"General Tianmeng, you shouldn't have appeared here in the first place. When the king entered the human world, he should have completely restrained you. But now that you have come to the ancient immortal world, it means that the king still doesn't know about this. Otherwise, he would never let you go.

You succeeded, are you right?"

When Li Xiaochen heard her test, his heart trembled, and he vaguely guessed her purpose. It seemed that this girl was not easy to deal with.

Narcissus continued: "If I inform the king about your coming to the ancient fairy world, what do you think he will do?"

Li Xiaochen sighed: "Sure enough, you are going to use this to blackmail me. If Bo Xun knows that I am here, he will definitely go on a killing spree in the human world. Because there is no gap in the Shenzhou barrier, he will not be able to come back for the time being.

.So his purpose is of course to lure me back to the human world and indirectly change the situation of the war here."

"As expected of General Tianmeng, one point will reveal everything. That's what I mean."

"I don't understand what you mean. What are you going to do to force me to do this?"

Seeing that the plan worked, Narcissus revealed his true purpose: "I have two conditions. If General Tianmeng agrees, I will not inform the king about your presence in the ancient immortal world for the time being."

"Tell me and listen."

"First, return Princess Mibo immediately. Second, completely break out of the war between the demon clan and the ancient fairy world. No matter what the outcome is, you can no longer participate."

Li Xiaochen chuckled and said: "Your wishful thinking is quite good. Don't forget, I also have a trump card in my hand. Princess Mibo, Bo Xun's daughter, is in my hand. I can also blackmail you in turn. Just look at these chips.

Which one is more important in our hearts? Princess Mibo, completely conquering the ancient fairyland, and telling Bo Xun what I am here, which one of these three is more important? If you say, my condition is, you dare to take me

If I tell Bo Xun about her whereabouts, I will fool Princess Mibo. Are you still willing to be ruthless?"

Narcissus's face suddenly changed. She did not speak anymore, but turned to thinking. The biggest card in Li Xiaochen's hand now is Princess Mibo. Originally Narcissus thought that after capturing the princess last time, he would somehow

This puts forward conditions to the Demon Army.

But the strange thing is that after Princess Mibo fell into the hands of Li Xiaochen, there was no news. Narcissus has been quite puzzled. Now she finally knows. It’s not that Li Xiaochen doesn’t want to play the card of Princess Mibo, but he wants to choose one

Bring her to the table at the critical moment.

If Narcissus hadn't threatened him face to face today, he might still have reservations. Until the strength of the fairy and demon armies is about the same or the demon army is weaker than the fairy army, he will bring Princess Mibo to the negotiation table to obtain a more favorable deal.

thing.

After Princess Mibo was captured, Narcissus kept secretly spying on the masters. But every time, there was no news. People in the fairy army camp became more aware of it. She seemed to be missing. Fortunately, now Li Xiaochen showed his trump card, Narcissus also

Only then was it confirmed that Princess Mibo was not dead yet.

Speaking of which, the king loves this daughter the most. If something goes wrong, it will be hard to explain to the king when he comes back. But compared to Princess Mibo and the king's grand plan, the latter is obviously more important.

Shouldn't Princess Mibo be abandoned for the king's grand ambition? This is a question worth thinking about.

After weighing the pros and cons, Narcissus said to Li Xiaochen: "I hope to hear from you personally the situation of Princess Mibo."

Li Xiaochen said truthfully: "She is very good now. She has food, drink, sleep, and is very safe. You don't have to worry that I will abuse her. And I have kept her identity a secret from the Xianjun. Now I am the only one in the Xianjun."

People know her true identity."

Narcissus felt relieved and asked: "You didn't do anything beastly to the princess?"

"I'll go! Do you doubt my character? It's your princess who is pestering me life and death. She does nothing all day long and wants to invade me. If anything, it's her who molested me. And she's like her

I will definitely treat such a valuable bargaining chip well. Otherwise, her value will be greatly reduced."

After hearing this, Narcissus felt that what he said made sense and felt much more at ease.

"Let's not talk secretly. General Tianmeng, please state your conditions. What do you plan to use Princess Mipo in exchange for from the Demon Army?"

When it comes to bargaining, there is skill. The stated conditions must be higher than the actual transaction conditions. Because in this process, there will be concessions from both parties. After some debate, the conditions will definitely be lowered.[

Therefore, Li Xiaochen said loudly: "I demand three conditions from the demon army. First, they must retreat immediately and sign a treaty with our army, promising never to invade the ancient fairyland. Second, they must not inform Bo Xun of my whereabouts. Third, they must not inform Bo Xun of my whereabouts.

It’s Narcissus, you must stay and become my prisoner. Serve with all your heart until I am exhausted and you die.”

This third condition was made by Li Xiaochen casually. Anyway, after bargaining, this condition will definitely be removed first.

"I don't agree!" Sure enough, these three conditions were beyond Narcissus' ability to bear. "General Tianmeng, your appetite is too big. We still have 300,000 elite troops, enough to kill the main force of the fairy army. This time

The battle, the demon army may not lose. You are too confident. Moreover, the plan to capture the ancient fairyland was made by the king himself. Unless he personally says to give up, we will definitely continue to fight until the ancient fairyland is destroyed. As for your

The second condition is that as the king's confidant, I must fulfill my duties faithfully. It is difficult for me to agree to this condition. At present, it seems that only your last condition is the most likely for me to accept..."

"What, what?" Li Xiaochen almost fell down, "You have to give up the last condition in exchange for Princess Mibo!"

This third condition is the most unreliable and the one that should be discarded. Is this girl right? There is no way she could choose this!

Narcissus suddenly turned red, bit his lip, and whispered: "Compared to the overall situation, personal humiliation is not worth mentioning. But I will say something ugly ahead of time. Even if you get my people, the demon army will still conquer the ancient fairyland.

I still want to inform the king of your whereabouts. But I will ask the king to let us fly away. If you have a strong desire to occupy me, as long as you can make Princess Mibo safe, I will succumb to your lust for the rest of my life.

And... I can only accept my fate."

Li Xiaochen covered his forehead with his hands, feeling dizzy and not knowing what to say.
