Chapter 1343 Contract
"Also, these monsters decay very quickly." Dong Rui picked up a piece of braised beef, threw it into his mouth and tasted it for a long time. It was delicious and chewy, good! "Like that hinge-tailed tiger, even if I don't kill it, it won't survive for at most half a year."
"Your demon puppet also had this problem before." Later, Zhu Erniang relied on the skills of the ancient demon immortal to give Dong Rui a trick, which greatly extended the demon puppet's lifespan.
He Lingchuan still doesn't know how that was done, and he doesn't bother to ask - he probably won't understand even if he does.
Anyway, in order to obtain this secret method, Dong Rui cooperated with He Lingchuan's Xushan plan in Lingxu City.
"These three-headed demon puppets are probably just the first finished products. They are short-lived anyway. They will be put into battle after they are made. It will not be a pity to lose them." Dong Rui raised two fingers, "It means two points. First, the opponent is likely to have There are more powerful demon puppets; secondly——"
"The more powerful the demon puppet is, the harder it is to control it. That's why this demon puppet master used the three-headed preliminary product to track Xiao An."
Hearing this, He Lingchuan tapped the table: "I know, he may have a superior. But his superior is either very busy or has an identity, and it is impossible to track Xiao An personally all the time."
"Next, as long as we find out why the demon puppet master had to chase this little girl, the truth will probably emerge."
"Where do you start?"
"Xiao An has mentioned more than once that she wants to go home and go back to that village." He Lingchuan smiled, "At least, we know where her destination is."
"Xingyun Village has long since disappeared."
"But she doesn't know it herself." He Lingchuan opened the sand table in the middle of the Shining Gold Plains and pointed to the location of Yao Kingdom. "Do you still remember that we completed the mission of Lingshan and took the three-tailed fox demon from Baitou Ridge to Julu Port?"
He changed the topic quickly, and Dong Rui was startled: "Oh, remember."
"The three-tailed fox demon was hunted by General Chongwu for killing more than a thousand civilians of the Yao Kingdom. Even Princess Ya, whom King Yao loved, could not escape his murderous hands." He Lingchuan recalled, "The victim's death method was caused by the essence and internal organs. They were all sucked out, much like what a fox demon would do.”
"Oh yes, I remembered it. The three-tailed fox demon denied it, saying that he and the little fox demon had never gone down the mountain or harmed anyone during that time." Dong Rui suddenly realized, "You are suspicious, the three-tailed fox demon did it The scapegoat, the real murderer is Tong Xuan? "
"Now it seems that it is not impossible." He Lingchuan continued, "It killed too many people that time, and it was impossible to take the brains of all of them and eat them. The Yao Kingdom probably didn't notice that some of the corpses had missing brains."
"That was more than half a year ago."
He Lingchuan marked on the sand table: "The princess of Yao Kingdom and civilians were killed near the Baitou Ridge of the three-tailed fox demon."
"And Chenjiazhuang and Green Villa are at this location."
He continued to mark: "And here, Xiao An's final destination, Xingyun Village."
"Connecting these points, this is Tong Xuan's path in recent months." He paused, "It's probably also the path taken by the demon puppet master."
"Tong Xuan's killings in other places were sporadic, but he committed mass killings in Baitou Ridge. There must be incentives." He Lingchuan pondered, "That area is worthy of investigation."
"Also, Xiao An said that her father lived in the mountains. The house was very big, and there were red and white rocks outside the gatehouse. This is a characteristic, so we might as well investigate it together. In addition, these puppet masters, like you, want to capture monsters and make them Research shows that most of their residences are not in the county, but in the countryside.”
Based on the above, there are many clues that can be investigated.
Dong Rui put down the second sea bowl, touched his belly and burped: "I'm full, I'm going to catch up on some sleep."
…
Yaopo, Situ Military Camp.
Two months ago, this was the front line of the battle between the Situ family and the Vixia people; but with the death of the Ghost King and the advance of the Allied Forces, peace returned to Yaopo and the people could live in peace again.
In just two months, the green grass and trees outside the city are almost invisible, and the traces of the former war are almost invisible.
But today Yaopo received a new task:
The contract between the Peliu Kingdom and the Kan people will be signed here.
The Bixia people were defeated by the Allied forces, and when they retreated on the northern front, they conveniently handed over the Qingye area that originally belonged to the Peliu Kingdom to the Kan people. The latter coveted the rich products and commercial interests here and refused to return the country to Peliu.
The two sides were arguing endlessly, and the Allied Northern Front was not only unable to advance, but was also in danger of collapse at any time.
As the leader of the Allied Forces, Situ Yu came forward to mediate many times. After all the good words and countless letters exchanged, the two sides finally reached an agreement and were ready to sign a contract.
Before Situ Yu entered the tent, he let out a long breath.
Today is his fourth time, and it should be the last time he mediates this matter, right?
In the tent, representatives of the Peliu Kingdom and the Kan people sat on one side of each other, and there was no room in the middle, where Kang Lang sat.
When Situ Yu came in, everyone stood up to greet him.
The terms have basically been negotiated. The King of Poliu and the chief of the Kan tribe did not come in person, but sent representatives to Yaopo to sign.
"Okay, everyone, sit down." Situ Yu sat down and saw a long file on the case, which when unfolded was the signed agreement between the two parties.
When he saw this, his brain ached. To check such a long contract item by item, he would rather go into battle and kill the enemy!
Kang Lang's face below him was glowing red, and his back was straight.
He is the sixth son of the king of Poliu and the son-in-law of the leader of the Kan tribe. He will soon become a key figure in resolving the Qingye dispute. Of all the people present, he was the most elated.
Situ Yu glanced at him, remembering that his son had relayed He Lingchuan's ideas, and it really could be implemented. "Okay, what's in front of you is the latest Qingye Agreement. We'll examine it one by one, and then sign the contract here!"
There was no objection from below, so the review began.
The Kan people took Qingye away, and they knew they were not right, so they asked for 50% of the city's income;
The Peleu Kingdom was willing to stop fighting, but the premise was that they would get 70% of the income.
Originally, this was the focus of the two sides' disagreement, but the Situ family asked He Lingchuan for advice and got an "impossible way", and the peace cooperation on the northern line of the Allied Forces had a glimmer of hope.
Of course, He Lingchuan only proposed ideas and concepts, and how to implement them specifically still had to be negotiated by the three parties themselves.
As long as it involves personal interests, even the dullest and stupidest people will immediately become shrewd, not to mention the two major forces.
The Situ family put a lot of effort and used the greatest patience for this, and finally succeeded in matchmaking.
This round of deliberation took two hours, with several doubts and quarrels during the period.
However, it was finally negotiated.
Representatives from both sides and Kang Lang must sign and seal in four copies.
The Peryu Kingdom, the Kan Clan, and Kang Lang each keep a copy, and the Situ family, as a witness, must also keep a copy.
When Situ Yu got the agreement in his hand, he felt relieved.
After two hours, his voice was hoarse!
Representatives from both sides stood up, politely declined the Situ family's invitation, and said goodbye to the host.
They were in a hurry to go back and report, as this contract was of great importance.
With it, the Allied Forces on the northern front can put aside the dispute and continue to attack the Pisha people!
Only Kang Lang was in high spirits. When he stepped forward to thank Situ Yu, his bow almost touched the floor: "Thank you, Marshal Situ!"
"Congratulations to Kang Chengshou for taking office!" Situ Yu patted him on the shoulder, "Do a good job. From now on, you will be the cornerstone of peaceful exchanges between the Peleu and Kan tribes. Remember to be impartial."
"Yes, Kang Lang remembered."
Due to his special identity, Kang Lang became the manager of Qingye jointly entrusted by the Peleu Kingdom and the Kan tribe. Since the agreement came into effect, he took office as the city keeper of Qingye.
He is no longer the dispensable sixth prince of the Peleu Kingdom.
As long as he acts fairly in Qingye and communicates effectively with both sides, the allied forces can crush the conspiracy of the Pisha people and continue to launch a strong attack on it.
Situ Yu said again: "You should prepare more guards when you go out, so as not to become a thorn in the eyes of the Pisha people."
Kang Lang smiled and said: "I will follow your words!"
Then he also said goodbye and strode away.
These days, he has also had many ideas about Qingye, and now he can't wait to put them into practice.
At this point, the dispute over Qingye was resolved, and the allied forces were relieved.
Situ Yu looked at Kang Lang's excited back and praised: "The owner of Yangshan Islands is indeed talented."
The confidant beside him didn't understand: "Marshal?"
"The Yuanxiang Association, which is supported by the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce, has contacted many talents. But people like He'er who hold real power are a minority after all." The Situ family took up the banner of anti-Bixia, and Situ father and son worked together and divided the work. "Most members of the Yuanxiang Association are children of aristocratic families like Kang Laoliu. They have the identity of a famous family and are eager to try, but in fact they are idle. One person."
"Ah... you are so accurate."
"This time the hometown meeting was well planned, and Kang Laoliu became the key figure in resolving the Qingye dispute. With his example, other idle people from other noble families will definitely look at the hometown meeting with new eyes, and hope to be supported and rise from now on." Situ Yu chuckled, "He Lingchuan not only helped us, but also helped the allied forces, and also raised the banner and reputation of his hometown meeting."
Killing three birds with one stone is nothing, the real amazing thing is that He Lingchuan has not shown his talent until now.
Outsiders think that he is just a wealthy businessman from outside.
Thinking of this, Situ Yu was slightly surprised again.
He Lingchuan's secret support for Kang Laoliu is just like He Lingchuan helping him and his son to repel Bixia. It is also through the method of setting up examples and creating models that he can get along well with others in the central part of the Shining Gold Plain and become a hot commodity that all countries and forces are vying to please.
Even Yao country sent envoys to contact Yangshan - He Lingchuan never hid this from Situ father and son.
Situ Yu still remembers his righteous help, but what does this island master He want to do in the Shining Gold Plain?
People always have a purpose for doing things, right? But Situ Yu still hasn't figured it out.
Is He Lingchuan's actions really for Yangshan's business to spread everywhere in the Shining Gold Plain? It seems so, but it seems more than that.
While thinking, he walked back to his tent unconsciously.
