After a while, a messenger hurriedly came to report: "Master Shangshu, the Imperial Master of the Western Regions will be coming in soon with many people."
When Zhao Qing heard this, he was overjoyed: "Finally, someone from the Western Region has arrived. Master Yan's strategy is really brilliant and admirable."
The talented people cheered.
"Master Yan is so powerful and wise."
"In acting like this, he is bold, bold, and unconventional. He is much wiser and more sophisticated than Mr. He."
"Hey, how can Shilang He be compared with Mr. Yan? He waited for a day and begged, but before the Imperial Master of the Western Regions arrived, Mr. Yan sent a boy and a letter to arrest the Imperial Master of the Western Regions. Here it comes. Hehe, this is not a letter, but a charm, right? A Yan's charm."
…
He Zhang listened on the side and felt mixed emotions in his heart. It was really unpleasant.
At such a young age, he was actually outclassed by the still young Yan Qi, but the facts were there and could not be refuted.
It's so irritating and irritating.
He even has the intention of killing people.
He Zhang couldn't stand the glares and ridicules from everyone, and shouted angrily: "What are you talking about? The Western Region Imperial Master is coming soon, why don't we go out to greet him?"
Some officials followed to greet him.
Yan Qi said: "No."
He Zhang listened to Yan Qi's words and was heartbroken. He retorted casually: "We are the hosts and they are the guests. Shouldn't we take the initiative to welcome them and treat them as guests?"
"wrong!"
Yan Qidao: "This is a negotiation. During negotiations, there is no distinction between host and object, only opponents. If you are begging for mercy and greeting the Western Region Imperial Master, you have weakened your momentum. During negotiations, momentum is the most important. Once your momentum is weakened, None of that bullshit makes any sense.”
Everyone nodded after hearing this.
"Master Yan's words make sense."
Zhao Qing also realized later: "That's right, that's right! My lords, please sit here quietly and don't go out to greet me. Just be calm."
He Zhangcai didn't care so much, but for the sake of face, he had to go against Yan Qi and Zhao Qing, and slapped the table: "Yan Qi, Yan Qi, you are acting like a villain. How can I, a great and powerful person, not treat guests with courtesy? "
Jie Sanjia also had a clear opposition: "We scholars, if we want to be knowledgeable and sensible, how can we be like that little servant and do arrogant things? Minister He, I will go with you to greet him."
He Zhang and Xie Sanjia took the lead to greet him.
A group of adults followed him.
Everyone looked a little angry, but there was nothing they could do.
Yan Qi shook his head: "Everyone will wait and see whether the Western Region Imperial Master will take your knowledge and ethics seriously?"
Everyone looked up.
main entrance.
The three national masters from the Western Regions are majestic.
The Imperial Masters of Dema from Xiaowan Kingdom, Holken from Pishan Kingdom, and Saxi from Xiye Kingdom entered the Star-Zhaing Tower with a serious look on their faces and bows on their backs.
The murderous feeling rushed in, as if a tiger or wolf wanted to eat all the little sheep in front of him.
Yesterday, the emerald female soldier who was in trouble, Princess Sophie, also stood behind the three national advisors. There were several female soldiers behind them, acting as female bodyguards for the three national advisors to protect them.
He Zhang smiled kindly, cupped his hands and said: "Oh, three national masters have come to the Star Reaching Tower, and the Star Reaching Tower is shining brightly. This is our honor and our pride..."
Xie Sanjia also sang a hymn: "To the east of Hangzhou, you can see the West Lake. The lake here has beautiful eyebrows and pleasant scenery. It is really a good place to rest and recuperate. Did the three imperial masters rest comfortably last night?"
After that, everything was quiet.
Grand Master Dema picked his nose, and Grand Master Holken looked at the sky, seemingly not hearing what He Zhang said.
The place was quiet and awkward.
He Zhang's face was red, and he didn't expect to be humiliated by the people from the Western Regions.
Apart from being ashamed, he was also puzzled.
Along the way, he had already made an agreement with people from the Western Region, and the communication was very smooth.
Why, when it comes to negotiation, does it suddenly become so blocked?
Too strange.
Jie Sanjia originally expected to follow He Zhang to greet him, to get familiar with him first, and then negotiate later to give him face and make it easy for him to talk.
Who would have thought that after flattering others, they would not react at all and even put on a disgusting face.
How can I step down?
The feeling in my heart is all kinds of sadness.
He Zhang could only laugh along and said: "Oh, the Imperial Master must have been thinking about something just now and didn't hear what I said. Haha, I understand, I understand! You came here from thousands of miles away from the Western Region, you really have a sincere heart... …”
Imperial Master Sasi waved his hand impatiently: "Let's start negotiating."
After saying that, he led everyone directly into the hall and sat in front of the round table.
He Zhang, Xie Sanjia, and all the adults were just left at the gate.
Especially He Zhang, who hadn't finished singing the hymn and didn't close his mouth. He just watched Saxi walking past him, his cheeks red like a monkey's butt.
This humiliation was not a big one for him.
He is the Minister of Rites.
From a second-grade official to a proper high-ranking official.
But in the eyes of the Western Region Imperial Master, it turned out to be like a lump of air.
He Zhang was so angry that he wanted to shout angrily.
However, in order to settle the Weishan incident, he did not dare to get angry.
He just poked there, thinking about it, savoring the rest of his life.
Xie Sanjia was also embarrassed and couldn't get down the stairs at all.
The adults who came out with He Zhang also felt that the price had dropped.
"Hey, you try to show people a smile, but they treat you like a dog."
"We are dogs wagging their tails to beg for mercy."
"How humiliating."
…
The talented and beautiful people also felt insulted and felt very uncomfortable.
"Look, Young Master Yan is right."
"That's right, you shouldn't welcome the Western Region Imperial Master. You are so passive and embarrassing now."
"If your momentum is weak, you will be very passive during negotiations."
…
Zhao Qing looked at He Zhang poking there, like an awkward piece of wood. He was glad that he listened to Yan Qi's words and was not embarrassed, but he also felt depressed because this affected the momentum of the negotiation.
Being manipulated like this by He Zhang, his momentum was completely at a disadvantage.
Yan Qi didn't seem to take it seriously and waved to He Zhang and Xie Jieyuan: "Servant He, Xie Jieyuan, are you guys standing at the door as welcome guests? Come and negotiate quickly. If you don't want to negotiate, then I want to negotiate?"
After hearing this, He Zhang and Xie Sanjia ignored the embarrassment and hurried in to sit down.
Negotiators are fully in place.
Dahua side: Zhao Qing, He Zhang, Yan Qi, Xie Sanjia.
The Western Region!
The national master of Dema of Xiaowan Kingdom, the national master of Horken of Pishan Kingdom, and the national master of Saxi of Xiye Kingdom.
There were many ministers of etiquette sitting in a row of seats behind Zhao Qing.
In the back row of the Western Region, there were many female soldiers sitting as translators.
Yan Qi saw at a glance that the emerald female soldier, Princess Sophie, was sitting behind Xiye Imperial Master Saxi, disguised as a translator.
An Qing stood in the host's position and said softly: "The negotiations have begun."
