"Master, these people are really disgusting. They want to redeem the hostages, but they don't want to pay the land. We really think that our foundation here is superficial, why can't they make it?"

After the negotiation of the first meeting was over, Lu Mingyan, as Li Wan's personal disciple, soon knew the result of the negotiation. Although he had already prepared, he still felt a bit of inexplicable anger.

These sect aristocratic families don't take Master seriously.

Li Wan was not worried, and laughed it off: "They really think that we can do nothing to them. If the negotiations are delayed, the Lishan Mine will not be able to mine normally."

Lu Mingyan thought for a while: "Master, what should we do then?"

Li Wan pondered for a while, and said: "It doesn't matter, asking for a price, just pay back the money on the spot. I didn't expect them to agree to everything. It depends on whether the final negotiation results can guarantee our interests here."

Li Wan is very open-minded, because he knows very well what he really wants.

While Li Wan was talking with Lu Mingyan in secret, Liu Huan, Wei Heng and other families also had a private meeting at the place where they were staying to communicate with each other and discuss.

"Dear friends, Li Wan's request is very clear. First, we want us to recognize his right to operate and mine Lishan Mine, Tushan Mine, and Xishanyuan. It is the children of each family who have paid the ransom, the only thing we can consider among the three is to pay the ransom in private to redeem the hostages, but the indemnity will cede the land, so don’t mention it again!”

"Fellow Daoist said that, it's simple and clear, but Li Wan is sure that the three conditions are related to each other. If he doesn't agree at the same time, he won't let him go. What should we do?"

Liu Huan was silent for a long time before saying: "Then talk to him slowly and see who can delay who!"

Liu Huan said this.It can be said to be full of confidence. After all, this is the border of Zhongzhou, not Tiannan. Once Li Wan's victory cannot be recognized quickly, if it is delayed slowly, some unnecessary changes may occur.

Wei Heng and the others were slightly taken aback when they heard this.

"Friend Liu Daoist, I would like to hear the details."

With a cold face, Liu Huan said to everyone: "After all, this is the territory of Zhongzhou. If there is a chivalrous man, I can't understand how he is self-respecting, demanding a price, killing a few of his disciples, or making a move out of anger and drawing his sword to help." , It’s still unknown, when the time comes, the other party will make a mistake, so let’s see. How dare you talk to us again!”

Wei Heng and the others thought deeply.

They really didn't consider how to act secretly, hold Li Wan's family members hostage, or send people to rescue those hostages, but this Elder Liu Huanliu.But he raised this matter openly.

"Well, if this is self-defeating..."

Of course, everyone has concerns in their hearts, and they are all hesitant.

Liu Huan was very confident: "Fellow Taoists, you don't need to worry too much. I have already made arrangements for this matter. We will negotiate with them and try to rescue them at the same time. Even if we get nothing in the end, we can alert Li Wan."

……

As Liu Huan said, when the negotiations reached an impasse, they really arranged for manpower to test the defenses of various places in Lishan Mine.

Their purpose is to find the place where Lin Menglong and other hostages are held and rescue them.

Even if nothing is found in the end, Li Wan can still let Li Wan know that they still have such means, and if they can't save people for a while, there are still two or three times.

In this way, they can put pressure on Li Wan during the negotiation.

A few days passed quickly.

In just a few days, accidents happened frequently in the entire Lishan Mountain, and there was a lot of panic.

However, Li Wan took control of the Lishan Mine and established a complete guard and patrol, so he was naturally prepared for robbery, rescue or destruction.

Liu Huan and the others soon discovered that although they had sent out a large number of people and their strength was not too low, they had repeatedly returned without success. If they can guard, once they are alarmed, it will be the end of their own actions.

In addition, Lin Menglong, Du Heng, Ren Hai and others were all missing, and Li Wan had already transferred them to the Xingshen Tiangong in time and hid them in the vast void.

Not to mention that ordinary alchemy cultivators can't find them, even if Nascent Soul might come, they will also return in vain.

"Liu Daoyou, this trick seems to be of no use. We sent more than a dozen masters and tried many times, but none of them succeeded. Not only that, but several people were injured because of it. If we didn't cover it up in time, I'm afraid he has been captured."

"Yes, if this continues, not only will people not be rescued, but maybe a few more prisoners will be added."

Wei Heng and others, or expressly implied, objected to Liu Huan's pressure method.

"Damn it, then Li Wan was already on guard!" Seeing this, Liu Huan could only hate secretly, there was nothing he could do about Li Wan.

However, Liu Huan seemed to have made up his mind and would never let go. Even if the rescue was blocked, he still did not change his persistence. Li Wan and others talked with him for many days, but there was still no real progress.

Lu Mingyan couldn't wait, and said bitterly: "Just kill a few of his hostages and let them watch for a while, if you don't be tougher, they will really think that we are running a charitable hall and helping them raise people who are free! "

When Li Wan heard the words, he sneered secretly, and reprimanded: "Stupid, I spent a lot of time and energy to exchange with them according to the rules of the Zhongzhou boundary. What is it for? Isn't it just to get a chance to negotiate? Kill their genius It's easy, but from now on, you brothers, I'm afraid you won't even be able to step into the Zhongzhou territory, and you will be beaten and killed wherever you want to go?"

The reason why Li Wan negotiated with them was naturally to obtain greater benefits, and shouting and killing was not an option.

From his current standpoint, he is also the one who makes the rules, so he naturally likes everyone to follow the rules.

When Lu Mingyan heard the words, his face turned red and he was speechless.

What he said just now was indeed ill-considered.

Seeing that he knew he was wrong, Li Wan smiled and predicted, "Don't be impatient, even if you raise their people for nothing, it won't cost much, just keep them."

……

Time passed quickly and a few more days passed in the stalemate. At this time, Liu Huan seemed calm and composed, and still dispatched deacons leisurely to compete with Li Wan's deacons, but Wei Heng and the others seemed a little embarrassed. endured.

Their relationship with the Lingbao Sect is neither subordinate to nor responsible for each other. If Liu Huan and Li Wan's negotiations are unfavorable, they will still suffer in the end.

Therefore, they began to send Li Wan to negotiate, asking about the amount of compensation and their respective ransoms.

When Liu Huan learned of these people's actions, he was shocked and furious: "Dear fellows, what do you mean by this?"

Wei Heng and others knew that this would anger the old monk Liu Huan, but they still insisted on their own opinions: "Liu Daoyou, I know you don't want to give up this Lishan Mine, but our people are in the hands of Li Wan, we have to Just be responsible for their safety."

Liu Huan was speechless when he heard that.

These days, in order not to allow Li Wan to take advantage, he did not make any concessions, but Li Wan was equally tough, and the two sides kept entangled here without making any progress.

In these days, Li Wan's party is also actively building a magic circle, sending more people, and strengthening the control of the entire Lishan Mine. They hope to send experts to sneak in to harass, and they have already fallen into the bottom line.

Liu Huan finally let go: "In this case, just talk to him about the price."

The news of Liu Huan's loosening quickly reached Li Wan's ears, and Li Wan and everyone under his command were greatly excited when they heard the news.

If you are willing to relax, you can talk about it.

Sure enough, in the next few days, everyone began to discuss the specific amount of ransom and war reparations.

Li Wan's claim is that the Lingbao Sect will provide materials worth 150 billion yuan to make up for its losses in this war.

As for the ransom that Wei Heng and others are concerned about, it is [-] million spiritual jade for a genius, or precious materials, elixirs, exercises, etc. of equal value.

There is also an additional condition for formally acknowledging the right to control the three mines of Lishan Mine, Tushan Mine, and Xishanyuan. In the future, disputes shall not be reopened in any form or under any excuse.

The detailed treaty finally began to be discussed one by one, and the two sides entered the stage of bargaining.

Liu Huan is still a bit unwilling to be responsible for this matter, because the more favorable the final result is to Li Wan's side, the more he will make concessions on this matter, although it will not cause him to lose his authority or be affected by the Lingbao Sect. punishment, but it is not a glorious thing after all.

Therefore, Liu Huan still focused on the specific number to make a fuss, picking mistakes and obstructing from time to time.

However, as Li Wan expected, once the matter comes to the point of discussing the details, even if Liu Huan is unwilling, he will be irresistible, because Wei Heng and others are also with him. Although they respect Liu Huan, an old man, but Never let him dictate.

After a period of confrontation between you and me, Li Wan finally got his wish and got the agreement that the various companies admit that they control the mine veins, but the entire compensation was suppressed to a full 100 billion. There are declines, ranging from more than 1 million to several million.

In general, asking for prices and repaying money on the spot has been a great success. Although there were many twists and turns in the negotiation process between the two parties, they finally reached a consensus.

After another period of time, outside Hanshan Terrace, on the courtyard square.

There are lights and festoons everywhere, full of joy.

Today's Hanshan Terrace, like a peerless beauty in full costume, ushered in an extraordinary day.

"Fellow daoists, please!"

The long and big case was placed in the open space. After a complicated sacrificial ceremony, Li Wan took the lead in signing his name on the peace treaty in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Huan, Wei Heng, Elder Fang and others also stepped forward and signed their names on it.

Amidst the sound of gongs and drums, the Lishan Mine battle, which lasted for nearly half a year, finally officially came to an end.

Immediately afterwards, each performed the contract.

But at this moment, an unexpected news came out of nowhere. (To be continued..)
