The news of capturing Nangong Yun alive was so joyful to the natives that when Shen Qing and others pushed Nangong Yun back, the entire tribe cheered with thunder.
The indigenous leader even greeted Shen Qing directly. He just looked at Shen Qing with extremely grateful eyes and could not even say a word.
After being excited for a long time, he just said something, and Shu Lin beside him quickly translated: "Young Master Shen, the leader said that he is extremely sorry for the detention and suspicion of you during this period, and I hope you can I can forgive him."
The natives are kind-hearted, and it is true that they accidentally entered other people's territory first, so let alone the native leader's sincere apology, even if he didn't, Shen Qing would not blame him at all.
He then smiled and said: "My lord, I am not trying to dampen your enthusiasm, but now is really not the time to be happy, because if the prediction is correct, Nangong Yun should have already led a large number of people from the Nangong family here. , especially when Nangong Yun has not returned for a long time, he may even start to close the mountain directly in anger, so capturing Nangong Yun is just a small victory, and the real war is far from coming. "
Shu Lin translated the words to the leader, who nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and then asked Shen Qing about his next plan.
He also has great trust in Shen Qing now, because under Shen Qing's methods, they have truly tasted the taste of victory. Nangong Yun, who is being pressed hard by his men and kneeling on the ground, is the best proof. .
"Well, the plan... Actually, up to now, there is no plan at all. Nangong Yun is the heart of the Nangong family, and he cares for her even more than the eldest son of the family, so we kidnapping Nangong Yun is both a good thing and a bad thing. Next, we can only look at the attitude of the Nangong family first."
Shen Qing's analysis is based on seeking truth from facts. In any case, the Nangong family has a strong person in the Nether Realm after all, and this is excluding the head of the Nangong family. So in other words, if the head of the Nangong family also comes to the battlefield in person, then The opponent has two Tongyou Realm masters. This kind of powerful strength is definitely not something they can resist now.
Therefore, he seems to have the initiative, but in fact he does not have much initiative, because it is difficult for people to be rational when they are angry. The head of the Nangong family first lost his soul and his beloved son. Once he was so angry that he attacked the mountain on a large scale, he was definitely not a person. The hostage Nangong Yun can be relieved.
And Shen Qing has asked before, Xiao Qian and Bai Feng will have at least a month to recover their strength, which means that in the rest of this month, they do not have the capital to break out the final battle with the Nangong family. This is This is why Shen Qing said it depends on the other party's attitude.
"Then what should we do? Send someone to negotiate terms with the Nangong family?" the indigenous leader asked through Shu Lin.
Shen Qing nodded, this matter was necessary, firstly, to see "how much" Nangong Yun was worth, and secondly, taking the initiative to interview him could also slow down the other party's massive search for the mountain to a certain extent.
It’s just who is more suitable to send...
The indigenous leader looked back and glanced at the elites of the tribe one by one. Although everyone wanted to take the initiative to go, he was a little worried.
After all, the Nangong family is not a kind person. It is very likely that they do not care about the moral constraints and directly detain the envoy!
Therefore, the person sent must not only have a certain ability and weight, but also make Nangong Yun feel that even if he is detained, he will not become a very important bargaining chip.
"Either I go. Firstly, I am not a member of your clan. Secondly, your people have some language barriers after all, and it is too troublesome to communicate. Thirdly, if they want to play dirty tricks, I think I will It's easier to escape."
Seeing the hesitation of the indigenous leader, Shen Qing could only say this.
But to be fair, if there was a more suitable candidate, he actually didn't want to take the risk. After all, the head of the Nangong family now definitely hates him as much as these natives. Because of the Thousand-Year Lei Po Incident, Shen Qing knows very well that he It is already a thorn in the side of the Nangong family!
Of course, he was definitely not the only one who thought so. After hearing this, Xiao Qian, Baifeng and others also rushed out to persuade him, intending to get him to give up such a dangerous move.
From their point of view, if it really doesn't work, let's not talk about it. Anyway, now that Nangong Yun is in our hands, his Nangong family should be more anxious.
But Shen Qing felt that the risk was too great. It was true that Nangong Yun was in control, but if they didn't send someone out to negotiate, how would the Nangong family know whether the young master of the family was dead or alive?
If you don't know, you will be anxious. If you are extremely anxious, you will be irritable. When you are irritable, it will inevitably lead to a large-scale search for the mountain. By that time, it will probably be too late to even think about negotiations.
Because the Nangong family is not stupid. After people know the real home base of the aboriginal people, they can completely encircle it. If the aboriginal side does not let people go, they will not evacuate. If the aboriginal side dares to kill people, they will Then they can attack directly, so if they continue to be consumed, the natives will not gain any advantage.
Furthermore, even if they dare not act recklessly for the sake of Nangong Yun's life, if they are given enough time to find out the aboriginal lair, what will the aborigines do in the future?
Even if this matter ends with both parties making peace, when Nangong Yun returns home, who can guarantee that the Nangong family will not make a comeback?
Therefore, in Shen Qing's opinion, the best way at present is to negotiate before the Nangong family has found out the indigenous lair. In this way, even if the Nangong family still regrets the attack in the end, they can at least delay some time to make arrangements or transfer.
"Young Master Shen, if you have to go, then Xiao will accompany you. In short, we can't let you risk it alone anymore." Xiao Qian said in a deep voice.
The indigenous leader also hurriedly spoke, "It is true that we can no longer let Mr. Shen take risks. It's up to me to think about this matter."
They are all kind and righteous people, which makes Shen Qing feel very happy. At the same time, he becomes more and more determined to go there in person, because again, although he is the one who is most likely to be tricked by the Nangong family, But he is also the most suitable candidate.
"Everyone, please stop talking. It's better for me to go, and I'll go alone." Shen Qing said in a firm tone, and then said in a joking tone: "Of course you can't be idle, you must make plans now, such as setting up more Some traps, digging some tunnels, etc., to ensure that if the negotiation fails, we can also have a response to the Nangong family's large-scale mountain search."
"Young Master Shen..."
The indigenous leader shouted awkwardly but sincerely and gratefully.
"Chief, there really is no need to argue anymore. When things have progressed to this point, the only thing we have to consider is to seize the opportunity. And if there is a more suitable person, I really won't show off. But the problem is that there is really no problem. After all,
Among your people, except for you who went there in person, the rest of you probably don't have enough weight in the eyes of the head of the Nangong family."
"He is a threatened person, but he still wants to see if our envoys are worthy enough?"
Hearing this, Shen Qing smiled bitterly. This group of people always stayed in one misunderstanding, that is, they thought they would have an advantage by taking Nangong Yun. But regarding this, Shen Qing really didn't want to explain it a second time. The hostages were just hostages.
He can play a certain role, but he cannot fundamentally change the fact that the Nangong family has absolute strength, and the Nangong family
The head of the family is old and cunning, and he must be able to figure this out, that is, the hostages must be alive to be called hostages. In other words, if the envoys sent by the indigenous people are not powerful enough to let the head of the Nangong family see their courage and determination, then he will definitely
There will be no serious worries about Nangong Yun's safety before the decisive battle begins.
Therefore, there are only two truly suitable candidates, one is the indigenous leader and the other is Shen Qing.
Among these two people, there was no doubt that Shen Qing could let the indigenous leader take the risk.
But when he was thinking this, the indigenous leader had the same idea. Before, it was because he didn't trust enough that he agreed to Shen Qing's risk of going undercover at Nangong's house. But now, Shen Qing has proven with his actions that he is worthy of being trusted. Then,
Shen Qing is a friend of their natives. As a leader, he will never let a good friend of his own race take risks for him!
So on this matter, the two of them had serious differences. Each was thinking about the other, and they got into a heated argument over who should go to negotiate.
"Shen Qing, come here."
When the two of them were "arguing", Tang Zhong, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said something softly.
Shen Qing signaled the leader to wait a moment, and then followed Tang Zhong away from the crowd.
"Shen Qing, Uncle Tang has something he wants to say. Although Uncle Tang also knows that these words may be looked down upon by you, I really feel unhappy if I don't say them."
Tang Zhong sighed repeatedly, with a bitter look on his face.
"Uncle Tang, you are too harsh and you still look down on me. Who can I look down on you? We have been together for so long. Don't you know that we are like family members?" Shen Qing was even amused by him. It was really embarrassing.
I don't know what Uncle Tang was thinking, but he could say such a thing.
"Oh, I know that. But Shen Qing, precisely because of this, I think you should be able to understand that no one in this world would want to see their relatives risk their lives, right?
"
As he said that, he didn't give Shen Qing a chance to speak, and then said: "There was no way before, we were trapped here, and we had to take action to prove it, so you just went, Uncle Tang didn't do anything
Stop you. But it’s different now. We have proven that we have no intention of invading them. Our original goal has been achieved. As for the grievances between the Nangong family and the indigenous people, we... really still need to get involved.
?..."
Hearing this, Shen Qing was really startled. No wonder Uncle Tang said that his words might arouse contempt. To be honest, Shen Qing felt a little incredible about this.
Because Uncle Tang's meaning is very obvious, that is, to retreat in time. As for whether the natives are dead or alive, what does it have to do with them...
