Chapter 1657 Negotiation

Xie Fu had more contact with the little queen and understood that the tiger queen regarded the future of her people as her mission. Even her son's hatred could be let go in an instant. Perhaps in her heart, nothing was more important than this mission, even her life.

At this moment, she should be more envious, seeing the progress and civilization from the backward and vulgar darkness.

Xie Fu asked, "Your Majesty, is there something wrong?"

The little queen smiled and said, "Master, I envy you and wish my people could live a peaceful and happy life like this, instead of having to eat raw meat and drink blood, or even need to go through a life-and-death test to survive."

These words made Zhuo Zong and others even more alert, and they felt that the situation was very tricky.

The little queen smiled and said, "It's just a little quiet. There's not even anyone around."

Wenren Houcang smiled and said, "Her Majesty the Queen is here, I asked them to leave." The tiger tribe had a deep-rooted bad reputation, and her appearance was bound to make people panic and cause unnecessary unrest, and it might even disrupt the original stability of Wenren Ranch because of this incident.

The little queen asked, "Master Wenren, am I scary?"

Zhuo Zongdai replied: "Her Majesty the Queen is not scary, but the word Tiger Tribe is scary."

The little queen laughed and said, "I thought the people at Wenren Ranch were as brave and fearless as I just saw."

These words were both a compliment and a little sarcastic, making everyone feel that the tiger queen was truly unfathomable and extremely wise.

Wenren Houcang smiled and said, "Your Majesty, all those you saw just now were soldiers from Wenren Ranch, in addition to many old and young women and children."

The little queen asked, "Master Wenren, I wonder how you overcome your fear?"

Wenren Houcang blurted out, "Face your fear and defeat it."

The little queen chuckled and said, "I think fear comes from the unknown and ignorance. Why not let them come out and see that the tiger tribe and the tiger queen are just like this, just tall and a little ugly. They don't have three heads and six arms. There is no need to be afraid."

Wenren Houcang smiled but did not answer.

The little queen asked, "Master Wenren, what do you think?"

Wenren Houcang said perfunctorily: "Let's talk about it later."

The little queen continued, "Just like before, Master Wenren regarded me as his mortal enemy and wanted to get rid of me as soon as possible, but now you and I are chatting like friends. Maybe I am not as stupid as Master Wenren imagined. I can even communicate, discuss, and cooperate."

The little queen's words were like sharp weapons, and Wenren Houcang had no way to deal with them. At this time, Zhuo Zong interrupted and said, "It's just ahead."

Arriving at the center of town, at the Wenren Residence, everyone dismounted, and Wenren Houcang politely said, "Your Majesty, please."

The little queen looked back at the spacious but quiet street. She was dressed up today just to let humans see that her tiger tribe can also have etiquette and beautiful clothing.

It’s a pity that there were no spectators, so this move was not ideal.

Entering the hall, Wenren Houcang politely placed the little queen in the upper seat on the left.

The little queen sat down. After Zhuo Zong and others sat down on the right, the little queen suddenly stood up again and said to Xie Fu, "Master, you take this seat."

Although the little queen often lived in the mountains and had never been in the secular world, she obviously understood the significance of this position - the honored guest.

Xie Fu smiled and said, "I can just sit there casually. Her Majesty the Queen is the protagonist today."

The little queen said, "When I was helped by the Immortal Master at Daguan Mountain, I secretly told myself that the Immortal Master is here, the Immortal Master is the most respected and I am the most humble. Immortal Master, please come in!"

It is better to obey than to be respectful, so Xie Fu sat down happily.

Dong Xiong and others nodded secretly, thinking that the little queen was quite sensible. At the same time, they were happy that Xie Fu could suppress the little queen with his aura.

In their hearts, Xie Fu, who has become the son-in-law of Wenren Ranch, is of course one of their own, and although the little queen is not an enemy, she is an outsider after all.

When he saw the little queen sitting down next to Xie Fu, he was stunned again. He felt that the two of them were one party in the negotiation and he was the other party.

Xie Fu also realized it later. He never expected that a group of experienced people with good social skills were played around by the young queen who had just entered the secular world. However, he did not feel unhappy. He admired the young queen's ambition and wanted to help her.

There were many people in the hall, but it fell into silence. No one wanted to speak, and the atmosphere was inevitably tense and weird. Xie Fu smiled and said, "Her Majesty the Queen just wanted to form an alliance with Wenren Ranch. I wonder how this alliance would be formed."

The little queen cast a grateful look at Xie Fu and replied, "I, the queen of the tiger tribe, represent all the tiger tribes and wish to form an everlasting alliance with Wenren Ranch."

After a few moments of silence, Zhuo Zong smiled and said, "Your Majesty the Queen's demeanor and spirit have impressed us all. Yesterday, you risked your life to save our Wenren Ranch from danger. I suggest that all past grudges be wiped out. From now on, Wenren Ranch and the Tiger Tribe will each be a river and well, and will not invade each other."

After hearing this, Cang Lang responded in a clear voice: "Okay!"

Dong Xiong and the others also nodded in agreement: "That's great."

The little queen looked at Zhuo Zong and asked respectfully, "What is your name, sir?"

"My surname is Zhuo, and my given name is Zong."

"Mr. Zhuo, I would like to ask you, what does "alliance" mean?"

This did not bother Zhuo Zong: "An alliance is a covenant, an agreement."

The little queen smiled and said, "Not only that, allies are like brothers, and they are one body, sharing weal and woe, living and dying together. Those who betray their allies are like stabbing their brothers in the back, and will be punished by the gods and will not be tolerated by heaven and earth."

The more seriously the little queen spoke, the more uneasy Zhuo Zong and the others became. They had no intention of being brothers with the tiger tribe, but they pretended to be nice to the little queen because she had saved their lives.

Seeing that no one responded, the little queen turned her head and looked at Xie Fu: "Master, you are knowledgeable and talented, is there anything wrong with what I said?"

Xie Fu said bluntly: "No wonder the Grand Master of Xirong called Her Majesty the Queen a wise man in the world. Even he can't compare to her."

Xie Fu suddenly mentioned the great master of Xirong. Wenren Houcang couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that this little queen had also dealt with Xirong?

Wenren Houcang temporarily changed the subject: "Who is this Xirong Grand Master?"

The little queen smiled and said, "The great master of Xirong that the immortal master mentioned is my old friend Gebala. Gebala is also the Dharma King Wenting of Yala Xiangbo Mountain."

As one of the three holy places of literature and Taoism, Yala Xiangbo Sacred Mountain Wenting had naturally been heard of by the people present, and in their eyes it was a sacred place of immortals.

When the two identities of a country's national teacher and the Dharma King of the Wenting Holy Land were thrown out, everyone present could not help but be amazed.

And such a person is an old friend of the little queen. The bad reputation of the tiger tribe has been eliminated a lot, and its good reputation has been added a lot.

Since Xie Fu was present, the little queen dared to say so, so it was naturally true.

Upon hearing this, Hou Cang exclaimed, "Her Majesty is actually friends with such a noble person."

The little queen raised her finger and pointed at Xie Fu: "In my heart, only the immortal master can be called a saint in the world. Although Gebala has supernatural powers, he is just a utilitarian person like me."

What she meant was that her acquaintance with Gebala was not a noble thing, but just a matter of interest. Since the Xirong Kingdom can have a contract of interest with our Tiger Tribe, why can't your Wenren Ranch do the same?

After hearing this, Hou Cang took the initiative to say, "Your Majesty, how do we conclude this alliance?" The little queen smiled and said, "The Tiger Tribe no longer wants to hide in the deep mountains and dense forests of Tianshui Diwan. We want to have a foothold in this world."

When these words came out, everyone was shocked. Impatient people like Dong Xiong and Ma Su stood up suddenly and said, "Don't even think about it!"

The little queen remained calm and smiled, "Why not?"

Dong Xiong immediately turned hostile: "Of course not, Queen of the Tiger Tribe, don't think I don't know your evil ambitions!"

Seeing that his words had caused a great stir, Xie Fu stood up and said, "Mr. Dong, please be patient."

Dong Xiong did not dare to lose his temper with Xie Fu, his face flushed with resentment: "Master, please be fair, this is unreasonable. She wants to seize the hundreds of years of foundation of Wenren Ranch. What life-saving grace? I have long seen that she wants to use this to repay the favor."

Xie Fu didn't know why Dong Xiong was so excited just now, but he immediately understood and laughed, "Mr. Dong, who said that the Tiger Tribe wants to seize the Wenren Ranch, which has been in existence for hundreds of years?"

Dong Xiong pointed at the little queen and said, "She just said that she wanted to have a place to stay. Could it be that she is interested in Wenren Ranch?"

Xie Fu laughed loudly: "Mr. Dong must have misunderstood..." Then he turned his head and looked at the little queen: "Your Majesty, do you want to say it or should I?"

The little queen raised her hand and said respectfully, "Please ask the Immortal Master to clarify the doubts of Mr. Dong."

"Okay, then let me say a few words, Mr. Dong. The foothold that the little queen is talking about is not about having a place to live, but the capital to be able to stand firm in the world."

Everyone wondered, what difference does it make.

Xie Fu looked at the little queen: "Your Majesty, am I right?"

"Master Immortal has a keen mind, and his guesses are generally correct."

Xie Fu continued, "Of course, Her Majesty the Queen has no intention of occupying Wenren Ranch."

The little queen continued, "Mr. Dong, this land is only a Wenren Ranch if you live here. If it were occupied by the tiger tribe, it would become a tiger tribe nest. What's the difference between this and the deep mountains and dense forests of Tianshui Diwan?"

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and their tense expressions relaxed.

Xie Fu laughed and said, "For the Tiger Tribe, the deep mountains and dense forests of Tianshui Diwan are safer and more secure. Otherwise, with the powerful military force of the Tiger Tribe, they can easily occupy any place. I think the deep mountains and dense forests of Tianshui Diwan are better."

After hearing this, Hou Cang asked, "Where?"

Xie Fu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I think you should just speak frankly."

"What I'm saying is that I want to use the reputation of Wenren Ranch to gain a foothold."

After hearing this, Hou Cang asked, "How do we do this?"

The little queen smiled and said, "If the princes use the barbarian etiquette, then they will be barbarians; if the barbarians enter the Chinese, then they will be Chinese. I hope that the owner of Wenren Ranch can follow the example of the sages and use the good name of Wenren Ranch to eliminate the bad reputation of the tiger tribe and eliminate the rude and disrespectful style of the tiger tribe."

After hearing this, Cang responded, "Oh, that's how it is."

Dong Xiong said loudly: "As the saying goes, it is easy to change a country but difficult to change one's nature. I, Wenren Ranch, dare not make this guarantee for the Tiger Tribe."

The little queen responded, "Wenren Ranch does not need to make this guarantee."

Wenren Houcang was puzzled: "You want to rely on the reputation of Wenren Ranch to gain a foothold in the world, but you don't need the guarantee of Wenren Ranch. What's the reason?"

Zhuo Zong continued, "Your Majesty, if my Wenren Ranch borrows the name, if the Tiger Tribe commits a crime in the future, the crime will be attributed to Wenren Ranch, and we will be considered as accomplices of the tiger. Your Majesty is a wise person and will understand this."

The little queen responded, "Although we are following the example of our ancestors, we can also make some changes."

Wenren Houcang asked: "How can we adapt to this situation?"

The little queen said solemnly: "First, I will continue to arrange a group of tigers to be stationed in Daguan Mountain to respond to Wenren Ranch from afar."

Dong Xiong blurted out: “Who wants to echo you from a distance!”

Xie Fu said in a deep voice: "Mr. Dong!"

Dong Xiong respected Xie Fu and raised his hand to show weakness: "Okay, okay, I'll wait for her to finish before expressing my opinion."

The little queen continued: "My tiger tribe no longer wants to rob towns and armies and eat raw meat and drink blood, so we want Wenren Ranch to provide food, cattle and sheep."

Everyone was stunned, and Dong Xiong couldn't help but say: "You wish!"

The little queen did not argue with him and continued, "Of course, if Wenren Ranch has any request, the Tiger Tribe will do its best. Just treat the Tiger Tribe as a private army raised by Wenren Ranch."

Everyone's hearts began to beat fast when they heard this. With the Tiger Tribe's army at the service of Wenren Ranch, there was no telling how powerful Wenren Ranch would become.

Xie Fu knew that the little queen did not want to be raised by others. As expected, the little queen said, "My tiger tribe is born with the talent for forging. The tiger tribe can help Wenren Ranch forge magic weapons in return."

After hearing this, Cang hummed and said, "It sounds good." But he secretly glanced at Zhuo Zong.

Zhuo Zong smiled and said, "We at Wenren Ranch have hands and feet and can forge weapons ourselves."

The little queen suddenly took out a sharp dagger. Everyone was shocked, but they remained calm and remained cautious.

The little queen said to Wenren Houcang, "Please ask the owner of Wenren Ranch to bring the sharpest weapon forged by Wenren Ranch."

Wenren Houcang took out his personal dagger: "Let's take this one." He had used this dagger to pierce through the bodies of tiger tribe members and killed many of them, which showed how sharp this dagger was.

The little queen took over Wenren Houcang's dagger and clashed with the dagger in her own hand. Wenren Houcang's dagger broke, but the cold light in the little queen's hand remained intact.

Everyone exclaimed: "What a magical weapon!"

Dong Xiong lost his voice: "Are all the weapons forged by the Tiger Tribe so hard and sharp?"

Obviously, he has been tempted. If all the members of Wenren Ranch can be equipped with this kind of weapon, the overall strength will be taken to a higher level, which is more attractive than having a private army of the Tiger Clan.

The little queen said, "No! This is a weapon forged by the Blacksmith Clan."

Everyone was greatly disappointed.

Amid the disappointment of the crowd, the little queen took out another dagger. This dagger was different from other silver weapons, but it was dark in color and cold and silent. "This is the weapon forged by the tiger tribe."

As he finished speaking, the two swords collided, and the dark sword immediately cut through the sword made by the forging clan.

Everyone including Wenren Houcang stood up in surprise. Even Xie Fu was secretly surprised. There are two major forging holy places in the world, one is the forging clan, and the other is the Su family of Jiancheng.

The forging family is good at forging magic weapons, and the Su family of Jiancheng is better at forging armor. It is hard to tell who is better or worse.

The little queen is demonstrating at this moment that the tiger tribe's forging technology is undoubtedly the best in the world.
