Chapter 352 Another Duel...

The development of the matter was not as expected by Tang En. After Ronald proposed the conditions, he saw the strong opposition from Josiah. While dealing with it at the negotiation table, he sent someone to report the situation to the Second Bureau in the capital. Your Highness.

This matter was originally done secretly, but Phillip overheard it, and then told Josiah to take credit for it.

It has to be said that Philip's role as a double spy is indeed extraordinary. If it were not for Philip, I dare not say that there would be no progress in this negotiation between the new nobles, but it would definitely not be as smooth and fast as it is now. But after this secret operation was exposed by Philip, Josiah no longer had any psychological burden. He could negotiate the conditions and scolded him with confidence when it came to military issues. As soon as their side became strong, Ronald and the others naturally felt a little unsure. Under their obsequious attitude, they wondered if the other side had some trump card... It was true that Philip succeeded and Philip failed!

It's just a message. Naturally, this speed is not comparable to what the noble negotiating team came to compare with. Moreover, with the identities of Ronald and others, there is no problem in using the teleportation array. About a week later, when almost all the conditions between the two parties were negotiated, the new nobles finally received instructions from the capital.

Of course Tang En and the others didn't know the specific content. Although Philip was also a member of the new aristocracy, Ronald and others had recently begun to have doubts about him and were on tight guard against him.

Fortunately, when the two sides met for the last time, Ronald and others finally spoke frankly.

The general meaning is that this stage of negotiations belonging to both parties has ended, and they will rush to Shiwanda Mountain with them to meet with Luo Sha for final negotiations. If everything goes well, the agreement will be initialed on the spot.

After hearing this, Josiah and other senior executives had mixed feelings. It was far from settled, but the big stone in their hearts was finally relieved.

This negotiation is unknown to the world, but that definitely does not mean that it is not of great significance. Although the noble negotiation team also attaches great importance to this negotiation, due to the status of the Gray Army, they certainly do not attach too much importance to it. After all, this is not an agreement between Bran and Beihuang.

But this negotiation is a huge challenge and pressure for Josiah and others. They have the trust of Chief Luosha, the expectations of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians of the Gray Army, and the continuous struggle of hundreds of thousands of their companions who have fought bloody battles for more than ten years... If it were not for the current situation, they would not be able to afford it, and they would not be able to lose. .

Now we finally have a satisfactory result. I believe that if it weren’t for the special circumstances and they didn’t want to lose their composure in front of Ronald and others, they would have screamed to the sky, hugged each other and cried...

…

The meeting time is noon, but the departure time is scheduled for tomorrow morning.

This is normal. Josiah can just pack up and set off, but the negotiation team is much more complicated. After all, he has been entertained by the local nobles for such a long time, and it is reasonable to have a party. Say hello.

Naturally, Josiah would not refuse. They also wanted to hold a party, a celebration party.

There is no need to say much about the situation that night, suffice it to know that the wine cellar of the creekside tavern was completely emptied. It was also the first time for Josiah to get drunk in front of everyone. Of course, her drinking capacity was not good to begin with, but after just a few drinks, her face was already red. She was so drunk that she dragged Tang En, who was dumbfounded, to dance in the hall of the tavern.

Tang En is not drunk, which does not mean that he has a good drinking capacity. There are many people in the secret agency of Shanxi City. One drink per person, even a drunkard will have to lie down. He just used a little trick, and all the wine he seemed to drink actually went into the water bag on his sleeve. Cheating and cheating? That's right, but Tang En doesn't care. As long as he's not in a safe place, he can't get drunk. Well, this is the professional ethics of a killer...

Of course, not everyone has Tang En's means, or they all have no limits. After getting drunk, Tang En finally saw everyone's drunken state. Difu and several other young senior executives patted him on the shoulder and solemnly said that they would wait and see if Josiah was handed over to him. That tone was just like the attitude of a father marrying his daughter. Hearing this, Tang En rubbed his nose and rolled his eyes. After a while, he started to cry again, wailing that Ba Lao couldn’t see this scene...

The people sitting here were all high-level officials of the secret agency. Enoch was also drunk and had already fallen down and shouted no. However, according to Tang En's observation, he should not be drunk, at least he is definitely conscious.

To be honest, Tang En's suspicion of him has not dissipated. When he interrogated Alex's housekeeper that day, he also asked about the traitor. The answer he got was that he was indeed given one thousand gold coins, but there was no ice flame volcano, and there was no murder. This is the case.

However, this suspicion is just speculation and there is no actual evidence. Of course, Tang En will not kill people like this. After all, Enoch's status and role in the secret agency are still very important. So in the end he just mentioned this matter to Joshua and asked her to be more careful...

That night, Tang En did not rest immediately, but chose to stay outside Enoch's room for a while. As a result, the other party did not take advantage of this good opportunity to cause trouble, so he had to give up and leave.

…

The next morning, Tang En, Josiah and several senior officials of the secret agency waited outside the city for the belated noble negotiation team. The team merged and headed for Shiwanda Mountain.

As soon as everyone here left the city, dozens of kilometers away from the north city gate, there was a group of people coming towards Shanxi City.

Standard armor, standard weapons... With this kind of attire, as long as someone takes a moment to look at it, they can be sure that it is a group of guard cavalry. If you have a sharp eye and see the exact same marks on the horses' hindquarters, you may even guess that they are from Shanxi City.

This is indeed the case. These people are the Shanxi City police cavalry who were sent to the neighboring city to investigate the case by an order. As for the two people at the head, they were Powers and Bernie.

After killing the men in black at the hotel more than ten days ago, the two of them hurried out of the city to meet with their men. After all, it is certain that the order was issued by a certain big shot. Now that the matter has been resolved, they certainly cannot afford to continue to offend.

When the horse's hooves arrived at a three-way intersection, Powers raised his palms to signal the people behind him to stop by the roadside and dismount their horses to rest.

"We're almost at Shanxi City." Bernie raised the water bag and took a sip, then threw it to Powers next to him. "I don't know if those capital nobles have left."

Powers took it and raised his head: "It's almost time... Gudong..."

Although they were not in Shanxi City, they had explained some things to the cavalry when they left, so after receiving the news that the nobles were leaving yesterday, they rushed back this morning.

"Come back before the case is finished... Are you sure that order has something to do with these nobles?"

"Tsk!" Powers said nonchalantly as he wiped the water stains around his mouth with his sleeve, "I'm sure, I think that's what Alex gave the order... But it has nothing to do with us, these ten days have been... It suffocates me to death. As long as they leave, there will be no problem for us to return to Shanxi City. As for those cases, they were all broken decades ago. Only the God of Light knows about it now. "

"Ha..." Bernie chuckled and nodded when he heard this, without denying it. Then he glanced behind him, his expression moved, and he pursed his lips, "It's not like we didn't gain anything at all this time. Hey, didn't we also catch something interesting? Where are the thieves?"

After hearing this, Powers also looked behind him, and then handed the water bag back to Bernie with a somewhat solemn expression: "It's indeed quite interesting... As I told you before, I still doubt that he should cooperate with us. I know the mole from the past.”

After a pause, he continued, "Such a perfect disguise is really rare, and it also feels familiar. Well, I've only seen it on that mole."

"I trust your judgment." Bernie nodded, then raised his eyebrows and said, "If this is really the case, what are you going to do?"

Rubbing his red nose, Powers narrowed his remaining right eye, "If it's as I thought... I'll use him as bait to lure the mole over. Humph! I want to fight him again. once."

"confident?"

"Well...it really didn't happen this time." After considering it seriously, Powers finally shook his head and shrugged, "Bernie, you also know his record. The combination of an earth-level warrior and a great space magician can... I failed to kill him, and in the end he killed the great magician alone... Anyway, I still have to try! After killing moles for so many years, apart from the ghost face before, he is the only one left who can bring excitement to me. .”

"Tsk, it sounds like you are seeking death..."

"Ha, this is the feeling I want! If I die in his hands, it will be the best destination in my life. If he dies in my hands, well, it is also a destination... Okay, I'll ask that again Thief, try to pry his mouth open as soon as possible."
