spooky invasion

The silver-robed envoy had obviously expected to encounter this. Although he was still a little timid, he did not lose his cool after all.

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 a visit to the house for friendly consultations and 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: "The two armies are fighting, so don't kill the envoy. 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 definitely 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 and accept official inspection. If there is a formation arranged by the strange tree, it must be destroyed immediately. This is called sincerity, this is called the correct attitude."

The silver-robed envoy did not object, but nodded in agreement: "Actually, my leader also expressed a similar intention, 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 arrange it properly."

Tong Feifei, who was on the side, interjected: "You said that your internal opinions were not unified before, and you were delayed in 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: "The head of my family has ordered a strict investigation, and I believe the answer will be revealed soon. The head of my family said that there is no lower limit for this strict investigation, and the agent of the Weird Tree must be dug out. No matter what Whoever is involved will never be tolerated. 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."

Regardless of whether his words are true or not, this guy's attitude is definitely not one to be chosen.

When faced with the core issues, they did not evade or dodge, but were resolute and not careless at all.

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 people, rather than killing all survivors. Unless we encounter the stubborn lawless people 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 side says, this silver-robed messenger will agree with it. His attitude is extremely well-behaved, not as arrogant as the legend says.

"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 within the agreed scope fails, 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 pit head 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. We 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 scared of being beaten. Or the leader of the pit head base has even lied to his subordinates. Passed. At least there is nothing wrong with this messenger’s words.”

If you were afraid of being beaten, the matter would be easier to solve. It is better to talk if you are afraid than to go to war.

However, everyone feels in their hearts that the first possibility is 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. The internal opinions are not unified, and it does not affect the communication with the official. You can even ask the authorities for some time to consider. Bargaining can be put in the first place instead of waiting for the deadline to pass and the official bombing to sue 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 you 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."

The people in Star City are still different from the traditional official people. Many of them came from rough backgrounds and were hardly affected by the official set of thinking.

They don't 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 arrest this guy. How can these bastards truly repent if they don't get hurt?"

Most people are really the main militant faction. Even those female members who have a gentle temperament, most of them don't think that the pit head 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 West Frontier Region, Xie Chun, the one at Wangqiao Base, and Xiaobao and his son at Tantou Base, which one is a normal person? Almost all of them are paranoid, so don't expect these people to turn around.

"Miss, 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 see the same thing, I agree! If they want to cheat, 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 you do it perfunctorily, 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 actually caused everyone 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 made clear by the previous bombing. It is 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 maybe they will 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 any decisive effect on the battlefield in Star City? That’s not necessarily true, 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 not afraid of any conspiracy. ?”

Mao Doudou is so confident.

And his confidence is not unfounded. After the official team competed in the Western Frontier 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 nothing more than conciliation. Leave all this to Zuo Wujiang and Tong Feifei. Anyway, Zuo Wujiang's pretense of leadership is still somewhat interesting.

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 discussed, 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 all brought out 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 head 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 arranged 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 envoy 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 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 deadline 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 launch a blanket search."

He could only explain patiently to buy time for the base.

| "Three days, three days at most. Moreover, you 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 people to be sent 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 guard against anyone peering into the camp.

After all, all actions must be based on secrecy. If the opponent finds out as soon as he takes 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 somewhat sincere. If they are perfunctory, no matter what, I will doubt their sincerity."
