Just when Chen Ziyan was thinking about how to achieve what he wanted, his auricles twitched slightly, and he keenly picked up the subtle friction sound coming from the tunnel.
After listening carefully, he knew that this was Wu Laogou coming back.
The moment the answer flashed in his mind, Chen Ziyan was determined to mention Yingzi a few more words while there was still time, but when the words came to his lips, he gave up the idea and said in a different tone:
"Yingzi, the fifth master should be back. You should take the dog for a walk down there while you still have time."
He decided not to tell Yingzi what he was thinking, not because he couldn't trust this girl, but because he suddenly remembered that her acting skills were too poor, and he was worried that she wouldn't be able to hide the truth on her face.
If he tells her the plan now, she will definitely be caught by Wu Laogou, which will undoubtedly add unnecessary obstacles to his next opportunities.
You must know that the current relationship between Chen Ziyan and Wu Laogou can be regarded as an obscure and silent game. Any unnecessary variables in the process will most likely lead to deviations in the final result.
"good."
Yingzi didn't realize Chen Ziyan's 'little thoughts', and readily agreed.
Speaking of which, she was also very curious about the underground, so she just took this opportunity to see it.
Soon Wu Laogou, who was holding the sleeve dog, came out of the tunnel with his bodyguard group. Seeing this, Yingzi began to greet his hound. After a brief chat with the other party and understanding the current situation underground
, and set off with her hounds.
After Yingzi left, Chen Ziyan and Wu Laogou in the underground palace exchanged a few words, then gradually lost interest in talking and began to immerse themselves in their own thoughts.
Chen Ziyan secretly glanced at Wu Laogou, who was still in the ancient well, and thought about how to get the other person to speak first.
His plan was to act as a middleman and help Wu Laogou train the giant mastiff in exchange for the king dog cub carefully cultivated by the Wu family.
But Chen Ziyan also knew that it would be difficult to complete this plan.
Because he did not pay the equivalent price, but wanted to get the corresponding gain.
If you do this kind of thing, take more and take less, it will be difficult to succeed if you look around the world.
In Chen Ziyan's view, the only way to implement this plan is to persuade Wu Laogou through other means.
In fact, he has a more cunning method, which is to use the information gap to set a trap for the opponent while Wu Laogou still doesn't know that the key to giant mastiffs is the breeding method, and only thinks that giant mastiffs are reproduced by blood.
.
Judging from the attractiveness of the giant mastiff to Wu Laogou, this method is definitely a sure-fire way to deceive.
But Chen Ziyan knew that he couldn't do this, not because his moral threshold was relatively high, but because he didn't want to make a one-time deal, which was not in his interest.
The new type of Xiling planned by Chen Ziyan has a continuous demand for excellent puppies, and a single transaction cannot satisfy his needs.
And there is another point, Wu Laogou is not a fool, and he will definitely not give him too much in the beginning, even if it breaks the sky, it will not exceed double digits. This may not even be enough for Chen Ziyan.
Not to mention that there is a level of success rate there. If you are not lucky, it is likely to be nothing in the end.
So Chen Ziyan thought about it and felt that it was more reliable to be a middleman, but it just required some skills to achieve his goal.
The first thing is to let Wu Laogou speak first, so that he can take the initiative from the beginning, and then think of ways to expand his advantage bit by bit, and by adding up multiple layers, maybe he can finally convince Wu Laogou.
And even if it fails to succeed in the end, with the preliminary preparation, it will not affect the cooperation at hand too much.
After all, it was Wu Laogou who initiated the matter, so it is normal that the conditions he proposed are somewhat harsh.
When Chen Ziyan had a rough idea in mind, Yingzi also happened to come back from the underground. He simply calmed down his thoughts and began to arrange the vigil mission for tonight.
This is a good arrangement. Although their manpower is limited, they do not lack immediate combat power.
Wushuanggui and Huahu are responsible for the ground defenses. They can stay vigilant for a long time and are the best candidates to do this. Wu Laogou's dog guards the door of the secret passage, and Yingzi's hound is responsible for guarding the secret passage leading to the underground.
Entrance.
Neither the other two people had any objections to Chen Ziyan's arrangements.
Yingzi is used to obeying Chen Ziyan's arrangements, and there is nothing unreasonable about this, so naturally he will not have any objection.
Wu Laogou, on the other hand, is the one who takes the lowest risk in the team and will not have any objections.
There are now three entrances and exits to the underground palace. The secret passage seems to be the safest one because the other end has collapsed. Unless there is an entrance that even Chen Ziyan's method of Wen Shan Distinguishing Dragons cannot find, there is no way for people outside to remain silent.
Go inside.
After making arrangements, Chen Ziyan and the others returned to the campfire. For a while, with nothing else to do, they began to guess what kind of offensive the Wang family would take.
Chen Ziyan and Wu Laogou had long reached a consensus that the Wang family would not give up the snake mine easily, so they never thought about the possibility that the Wang family would not come.
As they talked, the topic was diverted by Chen Ziyan, who had already planned it.
He first estimated the possible combat power of the Wang family, and then brought the topic to his own family.
Chen Ziyan did not ask Wu Laogou, but directly talked to Yingzi about how much fighting power his dog could show, and at the same time kept asking Yingzi to give examples.
The purpose is very simple, that is to arouse the greed in Wu Laogou's heart.
Although Yingzi didn't understand why Chen Ziyan did this, she knew that now was not the time to be doubtful, so she cooperated and told the giant mastiff's past behavior.
"Yingzi, I remember we talked about the human bear last time. If we come face to face, can the giant mastiff deal with it?"
"Human bear... It depends on whether there are guns and traps. If there are guns and traps, it won't be difficult. If not, it will take at least three or five mastiffs to deal with it."
…
Wu Laogou, who was listening quietly next to him, couldn't help but glance at the giant mastiff not far away when he heard Yingzi's words.
Others may not know how scary the man-bear is, but he is certainly not included.
Wu Laogou knew very well that the so-called human bears were completely different from ordinary bears. They only needed three or five giant mastiffs to deal with them, which was enough to illustrate the value of giant mastiffs.
Moreover, he could tell that Yingzi's so-called counterattack should be of the kind that has the upper hand, rather than a lose-lose situation.
After having the control object, Wu Laogou silently simulated it in his mind, and then he found out with some helplessness that his own dog king might not be able to compare with other people's giant mastiffs.
If it were his dog king who hunted humans and bears, with the same number, both sides would be injured, which would be the best outcome.
