The silver-robed messenger obviously expected to encounter this. Although he was still a little timid, he finally did not lose his calm.
He smiled bitterly and said: "Leader, I am also here under orders. Even if you chop off my head, I will only be a messenger."
"What I stated is the truth. Now our leaders are very sincere."
"How can you be sincere?" Zuo Wujiang said coldly.
"The head of the house invites officials to arrange for people to come to visit and conduct friendly consultations to eliminate misunderstandings."
"This is called sincerity? Who knows if you have set any traps or something?" Zuo Wujiang was not polite at all.
The silver-robed envoy smiled bitterly and said: "When the two armies are fighting, we will not kill the envoys. Our leader is a very particular person. Moreover, it only arranges for individual people to be guests and does not involve large-scale personnel exchanges. Even if it is a trap, it cannot affect the overall situation, right? This kind of trap
What’s the point?”
"So there's really a trap?" Zuo Wujiang shouted unreasonably.
"No, no, no, the villain is just making an analogy. Our master is sincere and will welcome you with the highest courtesy. How can we arrange a trap? Moreover, in the final analysis, we survivor bases still have to survive under official leadership. We will never
There is no reason to go against the authorities."
Zuo Wujiang said lightly: "These are just a few human words. However, you, a silver-robed messenger, are only a middle-level member of the fourth level in your base. If you really want to show sincerity, your leader should personally lead the team and bear the thorns to apologize.
, and then open the passage for official inspection. If there is a formation arranged by the strange tree, it must be destroyed immediately. This is called sincerity, and this is called the correct attitude."
The silver-robed envoy did not object, but nodded in agreement: "Actually, my leader also expressed a similar idea, but he didn't know what the official attitude was, so he sent me, the envoy, to test the situation first. The leader's side
If you are willing to open the door for negotiation, the leader of my family will definitely make appropriate arrangements."
Tong Feifei, who was on the side, interjected: "You said that your internal opinions were not unified before, and you delayed responding to the official announcement. So when I sent you here, I guess the internal opinions have been unified?"
"Yes, basically everyone has reached a consensus."
"So, is there an agent of the Weird Tree in the pit head base? Who is it specifically? Have you locked the target?"
The silver-robed messenger shook his head in embarrassment: "My head has ordered a strict investigation, and I believe the answer will be revealed soon. My head has said that there will be no lower limit for this strict investigation, and the agent of the Weird Tree must be dug out. Regardless.
No one will be tolerated if they are involved. Scum like this who betrays the justice of the entire human race must be found out and eradicated to prevent future troubles. The entire base cannot be buried with such a desperado."
No matter whether his words are true or not, this guy's attitude is definitely not picky.
When faced with the core issues, they did not shy away from it, they were resolute and did not make any sloppy remarks.
Zuo Wujiang asked lightly: "In principle, we can't fight without fighting. The official attitude is to learn from past mistakes and avoid future mistakes, treat illnesses and save lives, rather than exterminating all survivors. Unless we encounter those stubborn and unrestrained lawbreakers,
Disciple, the official methods will not be lenient."
"Yes, our base has also heard about the Xie Chun Base. The Xie Chun Base has gone against the grain, burning, killing, and looting. It is notoriously evil among all survivor bases. We at the Kengtou Base have never participated in looting.
Killing, even if it happens occasionally, is done out of necessity and out of self-preservation."
Anyway, no matter what the official said, this silver-robed messenger always agreed. His attitude was extremely well-behaved and not as arrogant as the legend said.
"The words are very beautiful, but the official attitude is very clear. If you want to negotiate, you can show sincerity, attitude, and practical actions. Before you set off, does your leader have a specific charter?"
"My head of family has mentioned that we will first invite official representatives to inspect the base, and then both parties will agree on a time and place for friendly negotiations. After reaching an agreement, the base will increase its self-inspection efforts. If the self-inspection fails within the agreed scope, officials are welcome to send out
The team will conduct an in-depth investigation. All in all, the Kengtou base will definitely cooperate with the official requirements and ensure that the weird tree will never succeed."
Zuo Wujiang had probably figured out the attitude of the Kengtou base, and said hypocritically: "My personal attitude is naturally happy to hear about this matter. But how to operate it specifically requires a meeting to study before I can give an answer. You go back first and wait later.
reply."
"The head of my family has said that I am not in a hurry to go back. I must wait for a specific official reply. Whether it is three days or five days, we must let the officials see the sincerity of our base."
"Then you go down and wait." Zuo Wujiang waved his hand lightly, indicating that he could go down first.
After the silver-robed envoy went down, the elite members of Star City gathered together again.
Tong Feifei got straight to the point: "This person's attitude is very honest, and there is no suspicion of lying. I estimate that either the other party is really afraid of being beaten. Or the leader of the base is cheating, and even his subordinates are lying to him."
It's passed. At least this messenger can't find anything wrong with it."
If you are afraid of being beaten, the matter will be easier to resolve. Talking about it after you are afraid is better than going to war.
However, everyone felt in their hearts that the first possibility was unlikely. If the Kengtou Base was really so easy to talk to, it would never fail to respond to the official announcement as soon as possible.
Even if you are a cheap person, you will not be so cheap. If you have internal disagreements, it will not affect your communication with the official. You can even ask the official for some time to think about it. Bargaining can also be put in the first place instead of waiting for the deadline to pass.
After a round of bombing, come back for peace.
He Jin said indifferently: "In my personal opinion, it is impossible for these desperadoes to have such a weak attitude. The Xie Chun Base is far inferior to the Kengtou Base. They will not hit the south wall and never look back. This Kengtou Base is probably
There is fraud.”
"If I don't hit them hard, there's no reason for them to be so nice. I think this negotiation is probably a scam."
"I think it's the second scenario mentioned by Tong Feifei. The leader of the Kengtou base is cunning. He probably has some conspiracy and even his subordinates are kept in the dark."
This group of people in Star City are still different from the traditional official people. Many of them come from rough backgrounds and are hardly affected by the official set of thinking.
They do not think that official authority will be able to suppress these desperadoes.
Therefore, their first reaction is that the other party is cheating, rather than that the other party sincerely wants to negotiate.
Mao Doudou said impatiently: "We have already made a plan anyway, what a waste of time to talk about it. With the atmosphere heightened to this point, we can't do this without fighting."
"Yes, let's talk about it. As I see it, just take this guy down. How can these bastards truly repent if we don't hit them with pain?"
Most people are really the main militant faction. Even those female members with gentle temperaments, most do not think that the Kengtou Base will negotiate sincerely.
They have seen too many die-hard agents of the Weird Tree in the Western Frontier Region. The stubbornness and stubbornness of these people cannot be changed by intimidation.
Not to mention the Western Frontier Region, which one of Xie Chun, the one at Wangqiao Base, and Xiao Bao and his son at Tantou Base have normal thoughts? Almost all of them are paranoid, so don't expect these people to turn around.
"Miss, please give the order."
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Han Jingjing, waiting for her to make the final decision.
Han Jingjing smiled and said: "We will definitely fight, but we can also talk. They want to use negotiations to paralyze us, why can't we use them in turn?"
Tong Feifei's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Heroes think alike, I agree! If they want to deceive, we can also use their tricks."
He Jin also showed a hint of expectation: "It's not impossible, so let's play with them?"
"Yes, but since we want to play, we must play it more realistically. We should also try to be more demanding in our requirements, so that they will think that we believe it and are willing to negotiate."
The harsher the attitude, the more it means that the official side is willing to negotiate. If it is perfunctory, no matter what, the other party will definitely not believe it.
Zuo Wujiang said: "What I'm more curious about is that it is certain that the other party is cheating, but how exactly do they want to cheat? What is their purpose? How do they plan to deceive us?"
This question has caused people to think deeply.
Everyone is paying attention to how the official side fights, but they don't consider the other side's conspiracy from the other side's point of view.
In the final analysis, we still only know ourselves and don’t know the enemy.
"Perhaps they are just testing our attitude? To see our fighting will?" someone said uncertainly.
Zuo Wujiang shook his head: "It must be more than that. Our attitude has been shown by the previous bombing. It is also clear enough to destroy the Xiechun base. The Kengtou base is not a fool, how can it not know how strong our will is? If they
It should be extremely clear that this is really the agent base of the Weird Tree. It is absolutely impossible to let them get away with it."
"Then they want to use negotiations to delay?"
The idea of delaying time is more common sense.
Tong Feifei also nodded and said: "I also think they want to use this to delay time. Maybe the Weird Tree gave them a task and asked them to persist for a few days. The Weird Tree may have been a fake show in Star City, but because we don't
To return reinforcements, their ambush can't be defeated, so they may just pretend to be real. There's going to be a war over there, and they don't want to fight on two fronts, so naturally they want to delay it with us?"
This guess is relatively more logical.
But will delaying time really have a decisive effect on the battlefield in Star City? That's not necessarily the case, right?
Mao Doudou on the side said depressedly: "Whatever their motives are, it does not affect our actions at all. Even if they have any conspiracy, we will follow our own pace, and any conspiracy is just a cloud. In the face of absolute strength, we are afraid of any conspiracy.
?”
Mao Doudou is so confident.
And his confidence is not unfounded. After the official team competed in the Western Region, their confidence has greatly increased, and everyone feels that they have this confidence.
In the end, it was Han Jingjing who made the final decision.
Negotiating with the other party is just a matter of pretense. Leave all this to Zuo Wujiang and Tong Feifei. Anyway, Zuo Wujiang's pretense of being a leader still has some meaning.
After a while, the silver-robed messenger was called over.
"We just had a small meeting here, and several important people have expressed their opinions. Negotiations can be held, but this is your last chance. If you play any tricks, the final blow will be beyond your imagination. For Ming Nian
For those who are ineffective, Xie Chun Base serves as a warning."
They already brought up the Xie Chun base to speak, and of course the silver-robed messenger didn't dare to be careless.
"The leader can rest assured. Before I set off, the boss personally told me that I must be pious and let the officials see the sincerity of our pit head base. So, on the official side, when will the representatives be scheduled to leave?"
Zuo Wujiang said arrogantly: "When did I say I would send a representative? We can give you another 24 hours. This is the deadline, the last patience. After 24 hours, either you will give the investigation results, or everyone in the entire base will
Leave, the door is wide open, and let our troops station in to investigate!"
Only 24 hours?
The silver-robed messenger smiled bitterly and said: "Boss, I'm not complaining. 24 hours is really too stressful. My boss said it will take at least a week to complete the self-examination."
"A week? Are you kidding me?" Zuo Wujiang shouted, "In this week, we have already wiped out all the agents around us who are hanging out with the weird tree."
The silver-robed messenger actually knew that a week would challenge the official's patience.
"Leader, what do you think this time limit is? Please be more relaxed, 24 hours is definitely not enough. Our pit head base has a large area and a large population. It does take a lot of time to carry out a blanket search."
He could only explain patiently and buy time for the base.
| "Three days, three days at most. Moreover, we must see your base leader tomorrow. He must go to the camp to explain in person. You don't need to talk nonsense anymore. This is the official bottom line."
The silver-robed envoy knew that there was no room for change when it came to this matter, so he immediately said: "I will go back and inform the leader of my family."
The official side arranged for troops to send this person out of the camp.
At the same time, Han Jingjing asked the Protector of the Poisonous Insect and others to patrol around the camp to be wary of anyone peeking into the camp.
After all, all actions must be based on the premise of secrecy. If the other party finds out as soon as you take action, the probability of success of the action will naturally be greatly reduced.
…
The silver-robed envoy quickly returned to the pit head base with the results of the preliminary negotiations.
Tiangang and Ksitigarbha once again summoned the senior officials to listen to the silver-robed messenger's report.
When I heard that the official asked the base leader to come to personally apologize and explain, the scene immediately became noisy, and everyone felt that the official was going too far.
Tiangang instead smiled coldly and raised his hand to signal everyone to be silent.
"The officials are not easy to talk to, but they seem to be somewhat sincere. If they are perfunctory, no matter what, I will doubt their sincerity."
