Chapter 1310: Negotiation Full of Routines (Part II)
The fat lieutenant's eyes flickered, avoiding Ding Kui's gaze, "I heard what you mean to think that the humble position is Wei Si? But you really recognize the wrong person." He flatly denied it.
"Do you need me to order someone to rip off your disguise? Don't forget that I am the former commander of the Tiger Ben, and Shao Dianmi and Mei Intercept are honest in front of me, where do you have the confidence to hide from me?"
There was only one Ding Kui sitting in the lobby, but Wei Si felt that he was in a quagmire, and the room was filled with the smell of Ding Kui, and he was squeezed up and down.
"Great, my lord," he swallowed with difficulty, "the humble position is the deputy envoy who came with Lord Lou, and he does not represent the Nannuma Prefecture Hall at this time. ”
Ming people don't say dark words, Ding Kui has already checked his bottom, it is useless to deny it, you have to think more about how to save your life.
"The people from the New Spy Department are a great threat to me, since you took the initiative to send you to the door, I won't let you go easily, and you will be given a lot of pensions when you are young, right?" Ding Kui withdrew the spiritual power that shrouded Wei Si.
"This, my lord, the lowly position is the messenger who came to negotiate, and he came for the truce between the two armies, and he didn't mean to calculate you, and it was not worth ruining his reputation for the sake of the lowly position!" Wei Si clung to his identity as an envoy.
Ding Kui continued to ask: "What does this kind of thing have to do with you for the truce between the two armies? Whether you fight or not will not have much impact on you, and the promotion of the spy department does not depend on military merit, and there is no one else here, so you might as well tell me." ”
Wei Si only realized why there were only him and Ding Kui in the lobby, and no one even sent tea, Ding Kui wanted to interrogate him alone.
Don't look polite on the surface, he still has a seat, but he has no power to resist in front of the dominant knight, and if people ask him a little unsatisfactory, he can be manipulated casually, in fact, it is no different from interrogation.
"The humble post is indeed here for the peace talks!" he said how he persuaded Lou Xiao to come to the peace talks.
"Hmm, didn't Shao Dianxi give you a special task?" Ding Kui didn't have any expression.
"You know, Nannuma Prefecture Hall wants to listen to the state pastor, he definitely wants to know more about your situation, especially the status of the eldest princess in your heart. Wei Si can only reveal a little truth, not to mention that he will definitely not be able to pass the current hurdle.
Ding Kui leaned back and said, "You must still have something to hide from me, but well, sitting in your position, what can you say and what can't be said? Naturally, you can tell clearly, what you shouldn't say, and you won't be able to speak if you kill you." ”
Wei Si immediately bowed and saluted, "Thank you for your understanding." ”
"You're from the Mission, and I'm not going to kill you publicly. A cold light flashed in Ding Kui's eyes.
Wei Si shook a moment and said, "Please raise your noble hand!"
"Then I'll give you a reminder, after you go back, you must be kind to the old man in the Spy Intelligence Department, otherwise I will solve you with my own hands!" Ding Kui leaned forward and looked down at Wei Si.
"Definitely! definitely!" Wei Si used all his strength to resist Ding Kui's coercion, and his underwear was already wet with sweat.
"It's okay to spare your life, but you can't move around, stay in this county guard for a few days, and then you can go back when the mission returns. Ding Kui decided to put Wei Si under house arrest.
Wei Si was forced to write a letter explaining his situation and asking Ding Kui's people to pass it on to Lou Xiao.
Lou Xiao found someone to confirm the handwriting before he was relieved, and Ding Kui was under house arrest for the spy leader rather than the genuine messenger. There is a big difference between the two, no one wants to let a spy leader walk around his territory at will, if Ding Kui dares to put the real messenger under house arrest, then his safety is not guaranteed.
There was no Wei Si to negotiate, but fortunately, the deputy envoy in charge of making ideas was still there, and Lou Xiao immediately asked for talks.
Ding Kui did not refuse, and took Kong Ren to talk with Lou Xiao's team at night.
"No! this can't be!" Lou Xiao was so anxious that his neck turned red, "Duping County and Yanling County are the territory of the kingdom, not what you want to want!
"Hahaha, what you say is ridiculous! Isn't it the territory of the kingdom under the rule of the prison state? Is there a more prosperous and rich land in the world than under the rule of the prison state?
You don't have the right to cede land, so what are you going to do? Could it be that you want to go back to Shibu County by your mouth? You don't have the right to go back, don't talk about it!" Ding Kui slapped the table loudly.
"Ahem, negotiating, everyone must have differences, don't say anything, otherwise why should we sit here and talk?"
Lou Xiao glanced at Kong Ren, his eyes full of gratitude. They were closed-door talks, and Kong Ren did not attend in a public capacity, which in itself saved face for the city of Nanjing.
He said: "The envoy has heard that the master of the horse is good at bargaining, and when I saw it today, it really deserves its reputation, but you can't go too far."
If you give you two more counties, Nanjing City will not be able to keep even half of the territory, and my family will be vainly called the state pastor. If we continue to talk about this, can I go back?"
Ding Kui said with a straight face: "It's not for me two counties, but two more counties under the rule of the Prison State! To be reasonable, the 8th, 12th, and 20th Army Corps are all supported by the Prison State, and they are originally the troops defending Nannuma Prefecture, shouldn't I ask for two more counties of money and food?"
This is equivalent to taking a step back, he only needs the money and grain of Duping County and Yanling County.
One of the deputy envoys couldn't help it and said, "Then we also have 400,000 local troops to raise, more than you." ”
"The local army can be disbanded, Nanjing City, no! The security of the entire Nannuma Prefecture is entrusted to me, and I guarantee that the Nannuma Prefecture is much safer than before!" Ding Kui took the opportunity to grasp the topic and said.
Lou Xiao glanced at the envoy and hurriedly said: "This is the fundamental contradiction between you and me, and it can't be resolved no matter how you say it." Our organization of the local army is to protect the place, and Duping County and Yanling County are among them, so I cannot accept your conditions.
The eldest princess's reputation of benevolence and righteousness has spread all over the world, and you can't ruin Your Highness's reputation because of petty profits! The Governor and the eldest princess are both clan relatives, and for the sake of this, we can not pursue the invasion of Shibu County by your army, and if you retreat, nothing has happened. ”
He has also learned to ask for a sky-high price, but he doesn't have as much appetite as Ding Kui.
What followed was a rambling until midnight, and the topic was limited to the ownership of Shibu County and Duping County.
"Everyone is tired today, why don't you go back and rest first, and continue tomorrow, how about it?" Lou Xiaoxian couldn't stand it.
Ding Kui had no intention of using fatigue warfare, and agreed to suspend the talks and continue the next day.
After waiting for the other party's people to leave, Kong Ren smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid that they will go back and discuss a new way?"
"Hehe, they fell into disadvantage from the beginning, the pace of the meeting was completely above the palm of my hand, no matter what new method they came up with, it was nothing more than to deal with my asking price, I couldn't run what I wanted!" Ding Kui Chengzhu was in his chest.
"You're so bad! Where is this negotiation? It's like taking the hoe from your hand and digging a hole for yourself. Kong Ren secretly swore that he would never negotiate with Ding Kui in the future.
