Mr. Cao, please stay. I am sincere in coming here this time. We, the Eastern Empire, want to have comprehensive cooperation with your Cao Family Trading Company. There may have been some misunderstandings between us in the past. Since it is a misunderstanding

If so, we can solve this matter. Let's sit down and talk about this matter. There is nothing that can't be solved. Your Cao family firm cooperates with the Linghu family. I don't know what conditions the Linghu family agreed to? Our Eastern Empire royal family, but very

We are sincere. Mr. Cao must have thought that what I just said was all empty talk and big talk without any basis in fact. Now I can tell our sincerity. When the third prince saw that Li Tong was really going out, he quickly stood up and said, he can't

Letting the big fish in front of him go was related to his and his father's wealth and life. How could he not be sad?

Seeing Li Cong pause, this guy quickly said, Mr. Cao, our Eastern Empire royal family is in crisis this time. You can understand our situation even if I don't say more. I know that we are in a difficult position during the negotiations.

At a disadvantage, although you are just a chamber of commerce and we control the entire empire, I can clearly say that we do not have an advantage in this negotiation. It is different from the last time. The last time we signed the Southern Sea Treaty with you, we

Do you think you can just harass us at the beach, and there is nothing you can do about our inland areas? But this time is different from last time. We can clearly see your strength, just like now.

, you can't block the way of our army, we need a way out, His Highness the Third Prince said, looking at the current situation, this guy is telling the truth.

Now that others have started to bow their heads, there is no need for us to keep looking at ourselves. Li Cong looked at the third prince in front of him and realized that he had already pushed others to a certain extent, so he just went with the flow.

Well, if it goes too far, it will push the other party to the edge and it will really be a dead end. It is Li Tong who regrets that she will not let things get to that level, because it will not be of any benefit to Li Cong, betraying Linghu

It is impossible for the family, Li Cong himself knows very well, but if he wants to pass these ten days, it is much better to delay the negotiation than other things. Moreover, Li Cong has already thought of a win-win method that can save the family.

The Linghu family can gain huge benefits for themselves and gain enough face for the court. Why not do something that benefits all three parties? At least it will be much better than the current war situation.

Your Highness, the Third Prince, I know all these things you said. The negotiations between us also started on this basis. Our Cao Family Trading Company is a peace-loving organization. Normally, I will not provoke any changes.

Yes, on the contrary, if there is a war in an area, we will act as a mediator to end the war. Just like now, the Linghu family and your court can be said to be incompatible. But you have me among you.

With the hope of peace, I will definitely handle this matter well and satisfy both of you. Li Tong thought for a while and said. His words surprised the third prince. He originally thought that Li Tong must be going to

The lion opened his mouth and made conditions. He didn't expect that someone would actually say such a thing. This was not a big talk. What he was talking about was "peace." I really heard the word "peace" correctly.

Your imperial family is in a state of war with the Linghu family. I know that the face of your imperial court has been damaged, including some other things. Now what you want is to eradicate the Linghu family. It is best to kill them all.

Yes, but I hope you can understand now that if your court wants to eliminate the Linghu family, the price you will pay will be a lot. At least for now, your price is already very high. The Eastern Empire has not entered for a long time.

We have passed the state of war, and we have seen the impact on the entire empire after entering the state of war. I don’t need to say more about these things. I have a good idea. I don’t know if you will consider it. I lowered my head and thought about it.

Said, he also had an idea and turned this passive negotiation into an active one. If it can be resolved, it will be profitable.

If Mr. Cao has something on his mind, you might as well just say it. I'm here to solve the problem. I heard that Mr. Cao likes to be straightforward when solving things. Although I don't like such things, I still want to hear it.

Listening to Mr. Cao’s advice, how is it better than our Eastern Empire? Everyone in the world says that Mr. Cao’s way of solving problems is first-rate. This kind of thinking is not something that ordinary people can match. When I saw it today, it was indeed well-deserved. I originally thought

Lord Cao wanted to make some demands that our Eastern Empire could not agree to. Unexpectedly, Lord Cao had his own opinions. I admire him very much. He is good at flattering people, especially those he needs to ask for. He is even better at flattering people. This kind of thing

It can be said that he is self-taught. The third prince in front of him is in such a situation. He never wants to flatter others, but he has to do it now.

Your Highness the Prince is really honored. In fact, I am just an ordinary person. I have just traveled to more places, met more people, and seen many more things. These things can be summarized and I can take some of them with me.

There will be more ideas in the mind. The Yanxiang Linghu family is also very happy. I won't tell lies to your face. In fact, they retreated to their fiefdom and suffered huge losses.

Now the Linghu family's power is less than 60% of its original strength. Their power in the capital and across the country has been greatly lost. It took tens of thousands of years to manage these things, but they were lost in just half a year.

Enough is enough. They cannot give up these fiefdoms, and they will definitely resist to the death. The first thing Li Tong wants to say is the determination of the Linghu family to resist. Everyone will do this in a life-or-death situation. The third prince also nodded.

I also said just now that you can destroy them if you want. Even if the Cao Family Trading Company tries its best to help them, they will only delay their elimination and cannot change the real result. But as far as I know now

The Eastern Empire is not very stable internally. If you put all your energy in such an area, you may lose overall. Is it possible to find a balance point between the two sides so that both sides can meet their own requirements?

, then the entire empire will be fine. When Li Tong said this, he was also observing the third prince's face. Seeing that his face did not change, he knew that his method was likely to succeed. The ability to observe words and expressions

It was a coincidence that you went from there. It is very easy to deal with such a smelly boy. I just don't know what this little fool is thinking in his mind. Does he really want to drink too much?

What purpose is used to achieve this?

What Mr. Cao said is so right. Now that we have reached this level, I will not hide it. The court cannot support it now. My father's brothers in the capital are all ready to make a move. Back then, I

When my father ascended the throne, he went through many hardships. The biggest difficulty facing us now is not the country's counterinsurgency. It is the issue of my father's prestige. He must end this war beautifully and quickly.

It's over. Our original idea was this. I didn't promise that the Cao Family Trading Company could fully carry out your business within the Eastern Empire. The condition is that our Eastern Empire has committed a crime against the Linghu family and your Cao Family Trading Company can't.

Intervene, I know this matter won't work now. But if I say it, it can be used as a basis for mediation. His Highness the Third Prince said frankly. His words gave Li Tong a glimmer of hope. This guy is indeed not simple.

In fact, I have also said that Linghu and I are very good friends. When I do things, I value interests, but sometimes the relationship between friends is much more important than interests. You can rely on your own power and money.

It is obtained through hard work. But friendship between friends depends on talent, luck and other things that we cannot control. Just like now, aren't we also friends? Just now we

We are still fighting on the battlefield, but now we are drinking and chatting here. This shows that we have something in common. You want to end the war with dignity. The Linghu family wants a place to survive. This is for both parties.

It can be solved, so I made a suggestion. After Li Cong finished speaking, he poured a glass of water for the third prince. This was also an aspect of showing his sincerity.

Of course we are very aware of Mr. Cao's friendship. I am also a person who values ​​affection and righteousness. Everyone in the entire continent knows this very clearly. The third prince smiled and said, he didn't know that Li Tong said this.

What do you mean? It seems that the entire empire is really going to bleed. It may be even more excessive than the demands that I just made lowly. But now the Eastern Empire has really reached a more dangerous time. To be precise, it is not

The Eastern Empire has reached a more dangerous time, but his father and the princes have reached a more dangerous time. If this war cannot end quickly, it is really hard to say what will happen to them in the future.

So they must do these things well and do them well to make everything possible.

"Haha, His Highness the Third Prince is really exaggerating in your praise. In fact, it's nothing. I just tend to be a little nosy sometimes, and this kind of thing also makes many people annoying. Okay, let's talk about the unnecessary things.

Let’s not talk anymore. Can we talk about our affairs now? My idea is this. You need a step to go down. You need to give some explanations to the people in the capital. His Majesty the Emperor also needs to give himself.

Just to save face, you princes must guarantee this place now. Can this be done like this? The Linghu family now has 100 provincial fiefdoms in their hands, but now they are willing to give up 25 provinces.

, and you can attack these places directly. Even if you defeat this place, we can completely make a fake war, but you must leave the remaining dozens of provinces to the Linghu family.

, there are many such counter-insurrections in history, and they are not all ended in one go. I think the senior officials of the empire don’t need to say anything. The writers of the empire are all very powerful, and they are also very good at talking.

Yes, it is very easy for them to do this. To put it simply, the Linghu family uses a quarter of the land in their hands in exchange for the current peace and the continued survival of their family. I

I feel that this method is feasible." Li Cong thought for a while and said. The third prince also looked at Li Cong in surprise. He really didn't expect that Li Cong would put forward such a condition. Isn't this guy afraid that the court will get such a condition?

Will they continue to move forward immediately in the future? That time will not be like this now. As long as the court achieves such a victory, their confidence will be greatly increased. It is hard to say what the situation will be like then.

of.

"Master Cao, please forgive me for being blunt. I have seen some things. I can't say that I have never seen the world, but talking to Master Cao for such a long time and five people who insisted on my previous life was really in vain.

, Mr. Cao can think of such things, he is indeed a talent. If our empire has talents like Mr. Cao, I think the entire continent will be ours. Mr. Cao is still a magic genius that has not been produced in tens of thousands of years.

It's really enviable to say." This guy said with praise. At least half of what he said is true. It's no wonder. What he said is indeed like this. Li Cong is indeed very enviable.

But Li was never fooled by his words. He knew that this guy would definitely have the following words. The most important thing now is to listen to the following words, not these flattery words. He was not here to listen to these words.

The prince of the empire will definitely have some opinions of his own, and that's what Li Cong needs now. He didn't expect the guy in front of him to agree, because he just came to stand in front of him, even if they didn't agree.

Li Cong himself did not suffer a loss, because at least these few hours passed so smoothly. He had promised to defend the city for ten days. Aren't these few hours also very important? He just relied on his own strength.

The money saved by talking is also very cost-effective.

"I am personally very satisfied with Master Cao's proposal. But as you know, the power structure of the Eastern Empire is much larger than that of the other three empires. Don't say that I am just a person without a title at all.

The prince, even if I were the current prince, I would not be able to express my position on such a matter. Can Mr. Cao also have a talk with the Linghu family, although they will teach you to manage a city.

But I think the Linghu family will not give up so easily when it comes to dozens of provinces. You just said that this is their last territory, and it is impossible for them to give up." It turns out that this boy is not

I believe that Li Cong has such rights now, and it is indeed the case. After all, the Linghu family was once half a royal family, and it was also the largest thing in the empire. How could they leave their destiny to an outsider?

, in the eyes of these people, Li Cong is just playing the role of a housekeeper, and now the master is making the decision. These things are a bit unjustifiable. It is very normal to say that he does not believe Li Cong. After all, people say

are all correct.

"Haha, it is very normal for His Royal Highness to have this idea. I am indeed the person invited by the Linghu family to defend this city, but my relationship with Young Master Linghu is also very close. I also

I talked to him once. He is now the century-old leader of the Linghu family. You can rest assured on this matter. My words are his words. The person who signed with you in the end is not mine, because I am an outsider after all. You

We are a family. We have discussed any matters and let them sign in the end." Li Cong said with a smile. His words made the third prince understand that now the entire Linghu family seems to be working for Li Cong. This

It made him feel very uncomfortable. After all, the Linghu family was considered a royal family before, and he and this guy were also from the same family. What did Li Cong mean by saying this? He said that he could control the Linghu family.

?Will he be able to control the royal family in the future? This would make anyone feel uncomfortable, but this guy’s city is still very good. He didn’t continue to say anything about Li Cong’s words, and nodded, he should go back.

Now, I basically know what the other party said. What to do is beyond my control. I am just a microphone. Let Li Cong talk to His Majesty the Emperor of the Eastern Empire about the specific matters. The two of them can

You are the one who is most capable of making decisions, so you better not get involved.

"Okay, since Mr. Cao said this, I will go back and reply to my father. To be honest, my right now is to know these things. If you want me to make the decision, it is absolutely impossible.

Yes, I have my father above me, and there are so many princes, so I am just a prince without a title." This guy mentioned twice that he did not have a title. Li Cong is also a sensible person. It seems that the situation in front of him is

This guy also needs his own help. No matter when, these two people or two organizations always need to cooperate. The relationships that Li Cong wants now are not just with the Linghu family or the royal family.

Relationships, all local relationships are for Cao's business to take the next step, and this is the most important thing.

"Your Highness, this is only temporary. I believe there will be many opportunities for His Highness to get all this in the future. I have some good things here recently, and the two of us are so in love, so I will give them to His Highness.

I hope you like it. I heard that His Royal Highness the Prince is an archer. By coincidence, the best thing our Cao Family Trading Company has produced is these magic arrows. I hope you like it." After Li Cong finished speaking, he sent them over.

He bought a small space ring. The value of this thing alone is more than 300 million silver. The third prince's face was also surprised. Even without those magic arrows. This guy was also very shocked. It seemed that he

This time is really not in vain. Although I have a two-cubic-meter space ring, who in this world would despise this too much? How many people don’t have such a thing? Although it is worth 300 million silver, but

You take out 300 million silver. See if anyone calls you this? That is absolutely impossible, unless that person is a fool.

"Don't worry, Master Cao. According to what you said, you and I are both friends, and we are both peace-loving people. I will take care of these things." The guy smiled and took Li Cong's things.

From this moment on, Li Cong has his own person in the upper echelons of the Eastern Empire. As long as this person is an ambitious person. As long as he wants to ascend to the throne, then things will be much easier to handle in the future.

What I'm afraid of is that this guy is a mediocre person. If that happens, Li Congke will have nothing to use. He can only shake his head helplessly towards this guy. We have suffered a lot in doing this.

of.

"What my wife did is a right bet. The Third Prince in front of you will regard you as his big supporter after he returns. He is very clear about his own status in the country. Many people say
