After initially reaching a willingness to cooperate, the next step is to negotiate terms.

Emperor Xichu's idea, of course, was to use Xiao Yin's and others' power to kill Li Shouyuan, but he didn't want to really fight Feng Lan with Xiao Yin and others.

Even if they want to fight Feng Lan, Xiao Yin and the others will have to provide the main force.

This annoys the people on Tianqi's side: Why, we have done all the bad things, and you want to get all the good things, so what are you dreaming about?

Moreover, although a person like Li Shouyuan has a terrible reputation, he is really capable. They will have to pay a lot of money to deal with such a person.

How is it possible that you just give me the name of "cooperation" and do nothing but wait to pick peaches?

Either you provide people with help or you provide money, anyway, don’t even think about running away!

Having made a statement here, Mr. Liu cannot say anything, otherwise, the cooperation that has just been reached will definitely be ruined.

So Mr. Liu pulled his old face and started to cry with snot and tears: "This is not that we in Xichu are not cooperating. It is actually because that thief Li controls the government. Isn't the military power also controlled? Our Majesty... …”

He was crying pitifully, and he didn't look like an envoy from a great country at all.

For a moment, Xiao Zhong tilted his head, thinking that Xiao Yuan was not really to blame for what happened this time. It seemed that Emperor Xi Chu had really been punished by him enough, otherwise he would not have sent such a person out.

After all, he had never seen an envoy from any family so careless about his master's image outside.

In a sense, envoys represent the face of a country, in this way...

Although Xiao Zhong felt pity for this man at a certain moment, it did not prevent him from being moved by Master Liu's cry. He even put down the teacup in his hand casually: "What Master Liu said is really... It makes people feel sorry for His Majesty Xichu... I wonder if His Majesty knows that he is so pitiful?"

Mr. Liu's crying expression froze, thinking of His Majesty's character, this...

But the handsome young counselor in front of him did not let him go. The moment he looked at him, Mr. Liu felt as if he was being stared at by a gorgeous poisonous snake.

Now, the poisonous snake spit out the snake letter: "Master Liu, you must know that for allies, pity is of no use. Both parties in the alliance should have a common purpose and can bring benefits. Master Liu provided us with Judging from the information, General Li can bring us greater benefits."

Mr. Liu's face turned pale at this time and he felt bad.

He used to rely on this method to obtain a lot of resources from His Majesty, and he was successful every time. Over time, he forgot that this method was actually unavailable outside.

So he calmed down and quickly changed his response strategy.

Although Mr. Liu is a bit of a loser, there is still a reason why he was singled out among a bunch of short people.

Of course, Xiao Zhong didn't really want to get rid of this cooperation, so he just followed his wishes.

After all, he also wanted to see which step Xiao Yuan made mistakes that allowed Emperor Xi Chu to find a loophole and send such a person over.

As their conversation deepened, Xiao Zhong also saw Xiao Yuan's many efforts under the Emperor of Western Chu from the side.

As for their group coming over, it's really not to blame for Xiao Yuan's lack of control. Who would have thought that the new emperor of Western Chu could actually cultivate a team of secret guards under the old emperor's nose?

And it seems that the strength of these secret guards is not bad.

Only a few people were able to protect a group of people who had traveled so long from Xichu to get here safely. This shows that the strength of these secret guards is extraordinary.

Xiao Zhong couldn't help but get greedy when he mentioned this.

However, he also knew that cultivating such a team of people might not be possible with ordinary means.

Not only did the new emperor of Western Chu have secret guards, but aristocratic families also had them. They were even better at training dead soldiers.

But Xiao didn't. This doesn't mean that they can't do it, but they don't want to.

It was not that the Xiao family didn't have the opportunity to train them. They had the method of training dead soldiers, and they tried it at the beginning, but in the end they chose to give up.

This behavior is not a secret in the family. Many people call their behavior "useless kindness", while others think they are hypocritical.

Not only this, but also the way they cultivate their own tribe, the way they handle business... All of these are different from the aristocratic family. These have become the reason why the Xiao family is close to the people, and they have also become the reason why the Xiao family is incompatible with the aristocratic family. reasons.

Otherwise, when Emperor Yuanjia took action against the Xiao family, the Xiao family would not be so isolated and helpless.

Of course, this isolation refers to the aristocratic family. The Xiao family gained far more than they lost by relying on their "false innocence".

Although they lost the help of imperial power and aristocratic families, they won the hearts of the people.

And people's hearts are often the most rare thing, which is the fundamental reason why they can rise again and become the leader of a force in just a few years.

People in the Xiao family believe that secret guards and dead soldiers may be very useful, but they are more inclined to follow the righteous path.

But... I don't know why among the Buqus trained in each generation, there are always a few who don't play by common sense and can come up with any dirty tricks.

The representative among them is Xiao Zhong.

However, these people are fundamentally good, have strong abilities, and followed a serious process to get into the Xiao family. You can't push people out, right?

When it comes to Xiao Yin's generation, it seems quite normal. Who would have known that the family heads of their generation were raised crookedly?

If Xiao Yunming hadn't forced Xiao Yin to swear an oath, this guy might have brought out the secret guard himself.

Although he thought about it, Xiao Yin still didn't get it out in the end, and Xiao Zhong... Xiao Zhong was really coveting these secret guards, dead soldiers, etc., how useful they are.

Look, these comforts can send people out under such a powerful "big brother", which is not easy.

Although he sometimes looked down on Xiao Yuan, Xiao Zhong still knew Xiao Yuan's strength.

Being able to escape from his hands showed that they were not only good at it, but also good at it.

However, that's it for now.

Xiao Zhong was multitasking, negotiating the terms of cooperation with Mr. Liu, and at the same time making speculations about the remaining forces under Emperor Xi Chu based on the information he revealed.

By the time it was over, he already had a rough outline in mind.

After a heated discussion, Mr. Liu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and felt that the young man in front of him should not be underestimated.

Moreover, his words successfully convinced him and made him decide to ask Emperor Xi Chu for instructions on attacking Feng Lan together.

After all, the matter was of great importance, and it was not something that he alone or a few of them could decide.
