Chapter 261

The news that the envoys of grassland came to Loulan city has been spread. Loulan city is very busy these days. The streets, the pubs, the hotels, the drivers, the pawns, everybody was talking about it.

Talking about it is nothing more than guessing about the outcome of this negotiation.

The northwest province of Desa is close to the front of the grassland people's troops. It is the place that is most affected by the grassland people, where the folk customs are strong and the hatred for the grassland people is deep. In the chaos in the streets, it was the main argument that prevailed. Moreover, as Dewey became more and more dignified in the province of Desa, he won the support of the people and was widely believed. I just feel that although the Duchess is young, he deserves to be a wise and powerful magician with mysterious legend. It also increased the confidence of the people. I just thought that even if the hateful prairie people called, and led by this magical Duke, my own side would surely be able to beat the hateful prairie people.

However, some business groups are inclined to peace talks. After all, businessmen advocate harmony for wealth. Moreover, there are many cattle, sheep and horses on the grassland, which are scarce goods in the mainland. Some fabrics, satins and daily necessities in the mainland can be sold at a good price on the grassland. It's a huge source of money.

If there is a war, the road to wealth will be broken. So the caravans also paid special attention to the news. Even outside the Duke's mansion, there were several large business groups waiting every day to see if the Duke had any new notices.

There was a lot of public opinion outside. Dewey sat quietly in the Duke's mansion, waiting for the arrival of the grassland people's delegation. In his spare time, he only looked at the minutes of the previous negotiation brought by villa, and only watched the quarrel.

Finally, on this day, the grassland people's mission arrived from the imperial capital. Under the protection of a thousand royal guards, the mission itself has hundreds of people.

The leader was a guy named hamuye. He is 40 years old. His status on the grassland is very noble. He is the uncle of the head of the royal family of the grassland king. In other words, he is the uncle of the grassland king, that is, a prince.

Although most of the minutes of the meeting were boring, the information about this hamuya was detailed. Information on the record. This guy is not only Uncle Wang, but also has a small tribe in his own hands. He also had business relations with several business groups of the Empire. Among the prairie people who were regarded as barbarians, many aristocrats of the Empire spoke highly of him and thought that he was relatively civilized.

Hamuye himself was depressed. He had been spitting for more than ten days among the diplomats in the imperial capital and the Roland Empire, but there was no progress at all. He was pushed to the northwest province of Desa.

Most importantly, hamuye is a rare figure with long sleeves who is good at dancing in the savage race of grassland. On the grassland, we respect the strong. However, hamuye himself is not an outstanding warrior. He inherited a tribe purely by his blood identity. Later, in his decades of career, he relied on his keen observation. Standing by his nephew's side and relying on his brain, he almost stabilized the position of the first think tank in the royal family. He has a certain ability to do this in a barbarian race.

But. This negotiation in the imperial capital, however, made hamuye extremely depressed. On the one hand, he had a water fight with the imperial officials, on the other hand, he secretly managed up and down, and showed off many years of secret business, hoping to find out something about Prince Chen. He knew that it was not Augustine VI who was now in charge of the Roland Empire, but the new Regent.

If you can find out the top leaders of the other side and their attitude in negotiations. You'll be ahead of the game.

However, to hamuye's disappointment, the young Regent seemed to be difficult to deal with. He had spent a lot of money on his own management, but he had no news at all. It seems that no one knows the attitude of the Regent. Now, the news is that the Regent has done such a big thing. The Duke of tulip in the northwest was given full power

What kind of attitude is that?

Roland want to fight or fight? What is

What's more, hamuye is helpless. This tulip Duke, though younger than Prince Chen. But not a good guy to deal with! Because

Whether it's a politician or an official. Hamuye studied the culture of Loran people for many years and knew the bureaucratic customs of Loran people very well. You can always find each other's weaknesses. But the tulip Duke made it difficult for him.

The other side is young... Most of the young people are hot-blooded, maybe they are a main combatant?

However, the other side is not a bureaucrat, but a magician! It is well known that magicians are eccentric! Magicians have no national principled stand. It's all up to one's liking. It's impossible to guess.

Every politician's opponent can always find out his weakness, whether he is greedy or lustful, whether he is good at fame or power, whether he is bold or tough, or cowardly, or calm and cautious

But these days, on the road, hamuye has carefully looked at the information about the tulip Duke, but has come to a helpless result: the tiger bites the tortoise, there is no place to bite!

Greedy for money? The magician's wealth and aloofness will not value wealth.

Women? This little Duke is only fifteen years old... And it is said that he even refused to marry Marquis Liszt, the first beauty among the nobles of the Roland empire.

Like fame? The little Duke has become very famous.

Power? He's already a Duke!

Bold? Judging from what he did in the northwest, he was a bold guy.

Timid? There seems to be some timidity. He made peace with the northwest army and heard that he had recently shown weakness to Bohan

Cautious? It's rather cautious. At least from the perspective of the other party's administrative policy, it's not easy for young people of this age to blindly expand the army and maintain a province with more than 20000 troops.

rash? It's reckless enough! Go to camp alone. He ran to the northwest army's home again... It was obviously taking his own safety as a risk.

In the end, he came to the conclusion that he wanted to go crazy

The opponent of the negotiation, Duke tulip, is a sorcerer who is not greedy for money, lust, fame and power. At the same time, he killed a brave, timid, cautious and reckless guy

This... This is some fuckin 'conclusion!

I'm afraid the only chip that can be used as a reference is: after all, this military friction took place in Desa Province, and the Duke of tulip is the main "party"!

Then he may fight because of his anger... Or he may fight because he is closest to the front of grassland soldiers. And cowardly.

... still no clue!

With this uneasiness, I finally came to Loulan City, Desa province.

After the end of the previous war, hamuye was ordered to take the mission to the capital of Roland Empire, but in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they quietly set out on the road, not through Loulan City, but took a detour. When he came to Loulan city this time, his first reaction was:

There is such a big city in Northwest China?!

It was rumored that the new town would be built in three months. Although it was established in full view of the public at that time. But after all, there is no TV news in the world, and most people just hear it. The news is so amazing that it makes people suspicious.

Today, when he finally saw the city, hamuye also felt that such a city... Was really built in three months?

Hum... I'm afraid it may not be three months. Roland people have always been cunning, mystifying things. Not without it.

The convoy went all the way to the city. Although it was protected by soldiers and the Duke of tulip ordered martial law, it was still in the carriage. Hamuye also faintly felt that most of the eyes cast by the onlookers in the distance were full of hostility.

Well... All the people under my command have such an attitude. I'm afraid that's the same for leaders.

Hamuye didn't care about the attitude of these civilians. He calculated that when he saw the young Duke later, his attitude should be appropriately tough? Or is it appropriate to show a little friendliness

The motorcade finally came to the Duke's house. The carriage stopped in front of the suspension bridge, and then on both sides of the street stood soldiers under martial law, and the whole street was sealed off.

With the help of two young grassland guards, hamuye stepped out of the carriage, looked up at the castle in front of him, and then looked at the Roland officials.

Danielle, dressed in the uniform of the imperial city guard, came up and introduced himself first. Then light smile way: "expensive make please follow me to come in."

He could not help feeling dissatisfied. He is the prince of the grassland. Even if the other party is making tulip Duke not come to meet, they should send a deputy. But I only came to another city guard... Is it intentional to give myself a bully?

As Dardanelle entered the castle. Hamuye was taken into a lavishly decorated conference hall. Before he entered, he took a deep breath. He was vaguely looking forward to meeting his opponent. Unfortunately, he pushed the door and went in to have a look, but he was disappointed!

A bold fat man was sitting in the door. Seeing hamuye push the door in, he quickly stood up and grinned. Then he strode forward and gave hamuye a warm hug in the way of grassland people.

"It's a great honor to have an old friend here! It's a pity that this is not a grassland. Otherwise, there must be excellent horse milk wine for distinguished guests! "

Hamuye was a little confused when he was held by the other party. After he stepped back, he carefully looked at the other party's eyes, and then he woke up. He was forced to smile on his face, hiding his inner strangeness: "Oh... It's general lombarton! I haven't seen you for many years, but your body is still so strong! I heard that you joined the tulip family last year. At that time, you were also good friends on the grassland. In other words, we don't know each other. "

Longbottom grinned like a wild man. He walked into the banquet hall with his hand. After sitting down, he looked around and said with a smile, "I don't know where the Duke is?"

"Oh, our Duchess was busy with the research of a new set of magic last night, so this morning. He ordered me to meet you instead of him Longbutton laughed: "prince, you know, our Duchess is a magician. Naturally, he is a bit eccentric. But when we meet old friends, we can talk about everything! "

Hamuye was not happy in his heart. He tried not to show his face. He said faintly: "in this case, I might as well go back to have a rest. When the Duke is free, let's sit down and talk“ No hurry, no hurry Longbarton smiles, then reaches out his huge palm and touches it in his arms for a long time before he comes up with a document. But he doesn't know how to make it in his arms, but it's wrinkly, as if with some sweat. Longbottom put it on the table with a smile. He pushed it to hamuye and said with a smile, "our Duchess said that although we have some friction, the friendship between the Empire and the grassland people has a long history and there is no misunderstanding. We can't hurt our friendship. So, since we are good friends, what can't we sit down and talk about? " It's like a human saying! He muttered in his heart. Looking at the wrinkled thing in front of me, which seemed to be stained with fat man's sweat, I couldn't help feeling sick. I frowned and said, "then this thing is..." "this is an agreement made by our Duke. We are all good friends. Let's forget this friction. For the sake of friendship, the Duchess said that this time things will be smaller and bigger. A good friend shouldn't care about these things. "“ Agreement? " Hamuye brought it. Bearing the disgusting impulse, he opened his eyes and saw the terms above. He was furious and suddenly patted the table: "longbutton! Is Duke tulip teasing me This "agreement" clearly says: as the party who provoked this friction, in order to reflect the friendship between the two sides, grassland people must make certain compensation to the Empire, including 30000 war horses. Fifty thousand cattle and sheep. Five thousand slaves. At the same time, bear all the costs of the reconstruction of giliat city... "Longbottom!" Hamuye said angrily: "it seems that the Duke has no sincerity in peace talks. In that case. What else am I doing here! Do you amuse me with such a joke Lombarton rubbed his nose, his smile faded, and he said: "hamuye, I have been in the Northwest for so many years, do you see lombarton is the kind of person who likes to joke?" After that, he stood up: "I've just been ordered to send a message. I've given it to you. The duke said that if you want to leave, we'll send it to you... But he also said that Prince hamuye is a wise man and a wise king. He takes care of everyone's friendship and won't do anything rash. What's more, it's not impossible to discuss this. In this way, you can take it and think about it carefully. When the Duke's business is finished tomorrow, you can offer a price for us to discuss. " Hamuye's heart suddenly calmed down... Hum, the tulip Duke seems to be a main combatant... Tough stance... Can also be regarded as a means of negotiation. Thinking of this, he laughed: "OK! I'll stay for a few more days. The Duke's business should be finished tomorrow, right? I'll take it. Tomorrow, when the Duke is free, we'll talk about it in detail After that, he stood up with a smile on his face and said, "well, please forgive me for being unreasonable. I'm tired all the way. I don't know where I live tonight." Longbottom laughed: "old friend, our Duke is hospitable. How can we neglect our good friend! It's already been arranged! I'll make sure you're satisfied! " With that, the fat man himself led hamuye out, went out of the castle through the back door, and came to the special "special preparation" place for hamuye. Originally, hamuye could hold back his anger, but when he saw the other party's "hospitality", he couldn't help but turn his face at that time“ Longbottom! You... "Longbottom said with a warm smile:" the duke said that he respected the Wuyong of the prairie men. He knew that you are not used to living in the Huafu mansion of Roland. What's more... The duke said that the highest level of hospitality is to be "at home"! That is to say, it is right to make the guests feel at home! So... We racked our brains to prepare such a place! Yi? Old friend, aren't you satisfied? People on the grassland are used to living here, aren't they? " In front of him, just behind the castle, there were several tents in the middle. Looking at the tent, there seems to be some air leakage
