"You're so funny!"

"Wrong! You are the ones who are so funny first..."

One side was glaring, the other side was calm. After a while of a glance, Philip sat back on the seat and waved his hand in anger: "No kidding, I came here so far away, not for you to have fun, show some sincerity."

"Compared to sincerity, I prefer to speak with facts." Tang En pointed at his feet, "Believe it, the place where we are standing now, the northern holy city will be included in the territory of the Gray Clothing Army within a week. Well, do you know how many towns there are under the territory of the Gray Clothing Army now? I haven't counted it, but there should be more than a hundred. With such a record, you can exchange for only five towns... and you are still saying you are teasing me?"

"I said it can be discussed, but you don't think about it in the north." Philip shook his head firmly: "You really dare to ask for it! The Bran Empire is divided into two parts, the south and the north. The southern territory is small, and it is less than half of the north that is thousands of miles away. If this is given to you, then who is whose fiefdom is his subordinate?"

"Furthermore, don't look at the prosperity of the south now, it is because it is backed by the source of materials and huge storage of finished products. In fact, in detail, the south is not only better than the north, but also more livable and fertile, but other things such as minerals, human resources, etc. If you really lose the north, there will be no goods without raw material resources, and even if there are goods, there will be no market for sales... In time, you or the barbarians will not need to attack, and the empire that lives in a corner will be killed by itself!"

Taking a deep breath, Philip looked sharp like an eagle, looking at Tang En steadily, "You said, under this premise, will we give up the north?"

Tang En seemed to have not felt the pressure exerted by the other side. He shrugged easily: "I'm talking very thoroughly. Hum, is it because I have considered such a result?"

Philip was stunned when he heard this, and then looked away: "This is not important. Tell your request. You also know that it is impossible to conquer the Bran Empire with the Grey Army alone. It is better to take advantage of the opportunity to take the initiative and take as many benefits as possible at the negotiating table. This is the practical issue you should consider now. If you miss this opportunity, don't blame me for not reminding you. Once Bran is driven crazy, he will mobilize the three main forces on the front line to return to suppress the attack... Even if the barbarian army is allowed to march straight into the north and occupy most of the north, your gray army will be finished."

Some are kind words and advice, some put themselves in their shoes, or some vague threats... Philip, who stands in a different position, also tried his best. After a few words, he said it was a bitter word. However,

"Ha!" With a chuckle, Tang En looked at Philip with a sincere look and shook his head and smiled, "I'm really prepared to bully me and don't understand military affairs, right?"

"Yeah?" Philip raised his eyebrows in shock and looked innocent.

"Pret! Keep pretending!" Tang En looked at him with contempt, "I don't know how to command and fight, but I still understand the map and my mind is not confused. Not to mention whether Bran dares to transfer back to the main legion of the front line now... I guess you don't dare. Or they are in pain and entanglement. After all, the barbarians are much more cruel than the gray-clothed army, haha... Look at the current momentum of the gray-clothed army, after fighting from 100,000 mountains in the West, the vertical expansion is extremely rapid. Although it will not reach the eastern coastline for a while, as long as the main official road leading to the front line is completely cut off..."

After a pause, Tang En picked up the teacup and took a sip, and smiled brightly, "At that time, it was not a question of whether your three main legions would return to the suppression, but a question of whether they would become turtles in the jar. Is it right?"

"Cough cough..." Cough twice. With Alan watching strangely, Philip calmly said. "I have already conveyed the negotiation conditions, and you will discuss them yourself. It's nothing for me. Well, let's go out to have a bar, there is a tavern next door that has a good atmosphere."

"roll!"

Up, a big middle finger!

...

The first negotiation ended in vain.

Or, this is not a formal negotiation at all. As Tang En said, it is just Bran's expression of a preliminary intention. The general meaning is that you are cruel and we are convinced. Look at us who can give you some territory for you to play with, so that we can have nothing to do.

There is no question of sincerity. I am afraid that even if the gray-clothed army really agreed to this condition, Bran Wangting himself would feel regretful. Even if he gave it, he would be unwilling to give it and reluctant... There is nothing to understand, but his butt determines his mind. Bran Wangting's butt has been sitting on the throne of the mainland king for thousands of years and has long been accustomed to the sense of superiority of being above the top. Even if the situation is in danger now, it is impossible to make them want to give in for a while.

Originally, the Bran Empire has stood on the continent for thousands of years, and has never collapsed after wind and rain. Did it happen if it happened that it suddenly couldn't hold on this time? It's unreasonable...

I think only when the troops are at the city, the knife is placed on their necks, and the old king who is said to be old and is about to die from the Wangting Castle, will they suddenly realize, Oh, it turns out that the world has really changed...

From this perspective, it can even be said that it is unreliable to convey the initial intention this time. The main purpose is to test and test how big the Grey-Clothed Army has! If it is small enough, then let's really talk about it. But like Tang En, who wants the Bran Empire or the entire northern territory, it is estimated that when Philip sends a message back, the nobles of the capital will laugh at the greed and unsatisfied side, and if he wins a few battles, he will not know what his surname is...

It's meaningless, and it's meaningless.

Of course, if you say that it is not of any effect, it is an exaggeration. After all, whether it is Philip or the seven or eight members of Congress, the identities are honorable. It is impossible for you to go to this dangerous north to wander around.

Based on what Philip said before, all the characters from the Second Prince's Sect, Tang En could roughly guess the other party's intention to come here this time, and should be to lay a prelude and leave a good foreshadowing. Once the situation in Bran really turns around, with this contact, they can also seize the lead of the eldest prince's Sect and contact the gray-clothed army for negotiations...

Ha--To put it bluntly, it’s the same as the struggle for imperial power!

Perhaps, from this we can see the mainstream attitude of Bran Wangting at this time. They still did not realize the danger was coming, and they were still in their usual thinking and were managing the greedy affairs of the fucking and greedy people.

There is no help!

...

Of course, not everyone is like this.

For example, Philip, whose name is outside, gives people the feeling that he has always been unruly and indulged in flowers. Perhaps no one will be surprised when he dies on a woman's belly. This time, he was extremely sensitive to the fatal danger from the current crisis and was enthusiastic. He changed his past style and, when he was having a cup of tea with Tang En the whole day, he often whispered indirectly, or spoke his thoughts straightforwardly or obscurely, as if he had great expectations for this negotiation.

But I have to say that Philip is seeking medical treatment in a hurry and is looking for the wrong partner.

It is true that Tang En is Joshia's husband, and to some extent he can also influence Lansha's will. But the key is that he has never been in charge. The big gray army, except for Frey and others, has nothing to do with him in other matters, and he does not want to be involved. The limit he can achieve in this negotiation is for Philip's sake, and let it go.

However, Philip seemed to be really anxious this time. He changed three places to drink, but he still kept nagging for a long time. Tang En finally gave Allen a wink. The two of them worked together to make this guy, and the world finally calmed down...

The next day, outside the city. When we parted.

In fact, there is no need to leave in such a hurry. After all, I have been here for so long, and it is not a short time for these three or two days. But those members of Congress felt that it was unsafe in Shanxi City, for fear that one day when they opened their eyes, they would find that they were kidnapped by a group of ragged mobs, and their lives were seriously unprotected. So when they saw Tang En, they thought that Philip had also passed the meaning here, and they cleaned up early in the morning and left in a hurry.

As for Philip, he had been waiting for the convoy to leave Shanxi City. Then he woke up from his hangover. Then he lifted the curtain and stared at the tall city wall in the distance. He didn't come back to his senses for a while...

"My grass! Who ordered to leave-"

Listening to the roar from the convoy not far away, Tang En shook his head. He withdrew his gaze and continued to explain to Allen in front of him, "Where did you say just now... Oh, engagement. That Annika is good. Whether it is your own conditions or background, you have made a fortune. You can leave the business group affairs and take more time to accompany them. Don't run around in the future. It's just that you are engaged, be careful of being beaten. Ha... Philip doesn't have to worry, I will tell him not to disturb you in the future. Of course, if you have the ability to take Annika to the north, it's naturally better... You should discuss this yourself, don't make things difficult..."

From beginning to end, whether it was the poor boy who sold newspapers in the slums or the leader of the emerging business group who was rich nowadays, Alan's respect for Tang En has never changed. In this way, Tang En was also concerned about Allen's affairs. If possible, Tang En really did not want to involve the latter. But just like the latter's respect for him, when it can help Tang En, Allen's attitude has always been stubborn...

Then I can only keep reminding and explaining, and prepare a few more ways for the other party.

The convoy seemed to be quarreling, and Allen's identity should not be revealed. Tang En didn't say anything more. Finally, he hugged Allen, walked out of the carriage, and walked towards the luxury convoy over there.

Before he got close, Philip was already screaming and scolding, "Shit! Who made you leave without permission - do you have this power? Can you bear the responsibility - still glaring at me! Not convinced? A bunch of idiots-"

Philip, who was roaring with his hand, was not like a flower wolf in the capital, but like a furious lion. His aura was full of energy and spitting everywhere, as if he was terrifying to eat people. In fact, Philip really wanted to eat the old men in front of him now...

He almost vomited blood yesterday. What was his fault? Didn’t he just want to entangle with Tang Enduo and let the other party blow the wind around his pillow after he went back to promote this negotiation? As a result, he just started the negotiation and was about to leave when he woke up, but he was still carried away in his sleep...

Pig teammates, pig teammates!

He turned his head angrily, and suddenly saw Tang En chuckling with his shoulders not far away. Philip couldn't help but stutter, then he let out a slight breath and walked over with a bitter smile: "You are not doing this!"

He shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, "Haha, my legs are on others, I have to stay if I want to leave, what can I do?" He patted Philip's shoulder a little frustrated, and Tang En laughed, "Okay, don't pretend to be pitiful and sympathize. I will convey your meaning to Joshia and the senior executives of the Gray Clothing Army. As for what they think and do, don't bother me, it's useless to bother me. I have a low presence in the Gray Clothing Army and can't help you."

After a moment of pause, I handed over a small note, "This is the address of a secret agency contact point in the south. If you have any questions, you can contact me through that. This is the last time. I don't want to see Allen involved again, otherwise don't blame me for turning against me."

After the words were finished, he opened his arms and hugged Philip, turned around, raised his hand, and simply left.

Behind, Philip stood there blankly for a while, watching Tang En's figure disappear. He came to his senses, pinched the note in his hand, and sighed to the sky... He never felt clearly at this moment, the empire is really over...

Turning around, he passed by the old men with a desolate expression and walked straight towards the carriage. When one foot stepped into the carriage, he paused and turned to look at the members of Congress who were still angry, and gritted his teeth, "A group of idiots who are old and have no knowledge! Remember - the destruction of the empire is destroyed in your hands!" After the words, he slammed and closed the car door heavily!

The old men in the Chinese costume looked at each other in anger, even more anxious.

"Damn it! What's this? Even if his father comes, he dare not talk to us like this!"

"I don't know the etiquette! A noble family, but such an ungrateful dog came out..."

"Hmph! Let's see how long he can be arrogant..."

"A guy who only knows how to roam on a woman's belly is worthy of talking about state affairs with us? He dares to teach us a lesson? Swish--"
