Che Yongfu stood still and his thoughts changed rapidly:
"But a friend of Tianmeng Pavilion?"
Neither Pei Mengqing nor the other party said yes, but after asking each other questions, they changed the questions tacitly.
"Are you going to investigate the damage to the Collector?"
"Oh? Your Excellency is quite well informed. I'm afraid it's not... huh?"
I'm afraid it wasn't you people from Tianmeng Pavilion who destroyed our collectors, and now the evil people are filing a complaint first, intending to divert the trouble to the east, saying that it was the people from the Suppression Cluster or the Gate of Nothingness who did it?
However, Pei Mengqing had already predicted the opponent's prediction, so he said directly:
"Then there's no need to go. This matter was done by our people."
"What evidence do you have that it was..." Che Yongfu was halfway through his words when he suddenly realized that what the other party said was different from what he thought, "What? Your Excellency said you did this?"
Using the power of the sword, Pei Mengqing uses "persuasion" in every sentence, subtly enhancing the credibility of her words.
"Exactly, but it happens for a reason."
Che Yongfu's face darkened. It was very difficult to train a warlock. Only one in a hundred people could be born, and the other ninety-nine people were needed as nutrients.
It is not easy for them, the Dark Night Chaos, to train people. They killed five warlocks at will, and this collector. Even their Yingchuan branch could only take out ten of them and send them to surrounding counties.
Each one is an important tool for extracting soul fragments. It is expensive to build and only the headquarters can provide it.
If the news that the Collector is damaged is sent back to the headquarters, we don’t know how other branches will try to squeeze them out, and what kind of punishment the branches will receive...
"Your Excellency, tell me this matter openly and openly. Could it be that your organization is ready to compensate?"
Che Yongfu suppressed his anger, thinking that there were only a few possibilities for the other party to tell the truth so obviously.
One is provocation, which is less likely. Unless there is a dispute over interests, people from Tianmeng Pavilion will generally not take action. Even if they do, they will attack quietly and will not hang out in front of the other party after doing bad things. provocative.
The two are that the other party has very important things to do in Liangzhou County, and the collector's goal conflicts with the other party, so the other party has to destroy the collector and send someone to talk to me to see if they can do it in a smaller way. Negotiate peace at a reasonable price, so as not to delay that important matter...
Although Liangzhou County is close to Sili and surrounded by many wealthy counties, it is the most inconspicuous among Chenliu counties. It has a small population and a backward economy. After losing its status as military garrison and grain transportation, it has become more and more unpopular. Poverty has become the worst one.
Coupled with the recent rumors, could it be that Tianmeng Pavilion wants to repeat its previous success in Jieliang County?
Thinking of this, Che Yongfu was shocked and felt that he had caught an important secret.
In fact, there is another possibility that he should have thought of quickly, that is, a third party took action and pretended to be someone from Tianmeng Pavilion to cause trouble. However, due to preconceived notions, coupled with the verbal guidance when the two parties first met, and Pei Mengqingyanjian The subtle persuasion caused him to miss this point.
"Please forgive me, this matter involves a small matter of ours..."
Before Pei Mengqing could finish her words, she was interrupted by Che Yongfu.
"It's a small thing? Humph, I can't see it!" Upon hearing the other party's words, Che Yongfu became more confident and more certain of the other party's plan.
First, the surrounding lines were cut off, and then people from other forces were expelled and eliminated. Liangzhou County was turned into an isolated island that no party had time to rescue or participate in. Isn't it to repeat what happened in Xie Liang County, or what?
Now he actually wants to use words to deceive him and let the matter between the Collector and the five warlocks get over with just a little concession. How can such a good thing be possible?
Che Yongfu further realized that Tianmeng Pavilion's plan may have been implemented to a very advanced extent. After the costs are spread, it will be difficult to recover until the end.
Isn't this a good opportunity for them, the Dark Night Chaos, to grab a big piece of fat from Tianmeng Pavilion's mouth? !
"..." Pei Mengqing fell silent.
It looked like he felt guilty after his plan was discovered, which only increased Che Yongfu's confidence.
"In this case, I'm afraid you also know our plan..."
Pei Mengqing's tone suddenly turned gloomy.
It happened that there was often a cold wind blowing through on winter nights. Coupled with Pei Mengqing's gloomy tone, Che Yongfu felt a chill down his back and immediately became wary of his surroundings.
Dark clouds cover the sky, and the light of the stars and the moon cannot shine on the earth.
In Che Yongfu's view, I am afraid that there are many people from Tianmeng Pavilion lurking in the surrounding darkness. If he dares to make excessive demands, the other party will swarm him and deal with him.
After forcing himself to calm down and calculating the gains and losses of both sides, Che Yongfu chuckled:
"Your Excellency, please don't scare me. We Dark Night Chaos also have soul lamps. Once I die here, or if I don't return within an hour, more powerful people from the organization will be sent to investigate immediately.
"At that time, I don't know if this small Liangzhou County can accommodate our many powerful warlocks. What's more, if things get big and attract people from the Suppression Cluster and the Gate of Nothingness, I wonder if you and the others will still be able to accommodate them. Are you sure you can continue to do this great thing?"
"Are you threatening us?" Pei Mengqing bluffed, her voice becoming colder.
Another cold winter wind blew through Che Yongfu, but it was like a deathly wind.
The level of tension escalated to a higher level. Che Yongfu began to worry about whether the other party had a way to block the soul lamp, or whether he could complete the "feat of annihilating the county" within an hour. By the time they completed the plan and evacuated en masse, his death might have been in vain.
Of course, it is not ruled out that the other party is harsh and cowardly, and is just trying to scare himself to further reduce the possibility of compensation.
After swallowing his saliva, Che Yongfu calmed himself down and raised his voice a lot:
"Your Excellency and others destroyed our collectors and killed five of our warlocks. Now they bite back and say that I threatened you. Do you think that our four major organizations do not pay attention to fairness and justice?!"
Pei Mengqing almost fell silent at these words. A group of evil organizations suddenly talked about fairness and justice, which was awkward to hear.
"We were wrong in this matter in the first place, so we are naturally willing to compensate."
"Oh? I didn't expect your organization to be so principled." Che Yongfu was relieved when he heard that the other party was willing to back down, but he still instinctively taunted him.
His reason told him that compensation and everything else were trivial. He had to find a way to escape as soon as possible, return to the branch, tell the branch what happened here, and call more warlocks to come to Liangzhou County to stir up the trouble.
If they can't get a share of the pie, they can't let the people in Tianmeng Pavilion get the benefits, which will at least ruin Tianmeng Pavilion's plan.
This is actually a common problem among organizations like the Four Major Organizations that believe in evil gods. If you can’t get any benefits, others won’t be able to get them either. You would rather be thankless than be a troublemaker and mess up other people’s affairs...
