Godsend Field

Chapter 132 Negotiations
All the people surrounding the Guangming Church seemed to have gone crazy, shouting slogans and persecuting Tianci.The crisis was imminent, and even Li'er was sweating coldly without worry.Since coming to the Northwest, cheers and praises have been everywhere. It is the first time that they have turned against each other like today, and the scene is so big.

"Don't be nervous, it's okay!" Tianci persuaded softly while holding Lier's little hand.

The voices of the crowd below became more presumptuous, especially those who took the lead in making troubles in front were more reckless, as if they were about to rush up.

suddenly
"Give me peace!"

A roar like thunder sounded from the crowd, and everyone was shocked by the sudden thunderbolt from the blue sky, and fell silent immediately.

A burst of dense and orderly footsteps and loud armor clashes sounded from all directions, and the six personal guard squadron leaders led their respective squadrons to surround the protesting crowd from the periphery.The unexplained crowd was shocked by the sudden aura of the pro-guard group, and immediately rioted.

"Come in!" Gru's voice sounded again.

The six squadron leaders waved their hands in response, and led their personal guards to insert straight in from the outer encirclement, cutting the scattered crowd into seven pieces like cutting watermelon.Looking at the six squadron leaders who appeared in front of him, Tianci felt truly at ease.At this time, Gelu didn't know when he had arrived at the gate of Guangming Church, standing beside Tianci.

"Stop!" Gru ordered again.

Along with the squadron leader, the digital squad leader who cut into the crowd immediately led his squad perpendicular to the tangent line to separate the crowd again.The whole set of movements was completed in an instant as if they had gone through countless times of training. Before the crowd had a chance to react, they were divided into dozens of small pieces by the well-trained guards like spider webs.

"Wei!" Gru shouted.

"bass!"

All the personal guards drew out their long swords in unison, and there was a murderous aura from the shining weapons. The personal guards who had experienced the baptism of blood were no longer as loose and immature as they were when they were just formed. With murderous intent.

"Wei!!" All the personal guards shouted in unison, echoing Gru, and instantly formed a vortex of voices in the square, devouring all the tones that did not match it.Those gathered crowd who had seen such a battle were immediately terrified, and the few in front who were acting like rascals just now were even more frightened.

The sound stopped after a long time, and the isolated and scattered crowd fell silent as if they had become isolated and helpless individuals.

Seeing that the situation has been completely controlled by the pro-guard group, Gelu walked up to Tianci and bowed his hands in relief, "My lord, all those who gather and make trouble have been controlled by us, please forgive me, my lord!"

Tianci stretched out his hand and pushed away Gru's hand without changing his face, and a note was secretly passed to Tianci.Gelu turned around, and his tall figure was right in front of Tianci.

After a while, Tianci moved away from Gelug and walked forward with a heavy face, "The city of salt in the northwest of me is a royal land under the rule of your majesty. Here we take human relations as the principle and king's law as the key link. Any reasonable and legal We agree to everything, and we will strictly investigate and deal with any unreasonable and illegal things. The Welsh Empire advocates freedom of belief, but the Illuminati religion is legalized as the state religion by His Majesty the founding king of our empire, and no one can change it. Now that the state religion has come to our northwest, you can listen humbly to worship if you support it, and if you don’t support it, you can pass by and not enter, or believe in other religions. But today you gathered to make trouble and damage the church, which is a violation of the express law of the empire !"

The crowd that had just calmed down suddenly rioted again, this time with more panic. . .

Tianci waved his hands, and the commotion became much quieter.

"But today, because you were the first offenders and didn't cause major consequences, the lord is merciful to you this time. But if you gather and make trouble again next time, I will punish both crimes and severely punish you." !"

After listening to Tianci's lecture, many people breathed a sigh of relief.

"You guys!" Tianci pointed at the rogue-looking people in front of him, "They just gathered to make trouble, but you privately damaged the Guangming Church, insulted the state religion, and were rude to the lord. Even if the lord is lenient, the national law will not tolerate it. Grew!"

"exist!"

"Take them down to me, hand them over to the prison for conviction, and deal with them severely!"

"Yes!" Gru turned around and took orders, "Captain, take them down!"

The leader of the No. [-] Squadron swiftly led more than a dozen bodyguards to take down the few people in front, and rushed out of the square amidst their cries and begging for mercy.The rest of the people suddenly felt lucky.

"Gru, withdraw!"

Gru waved his big hand, "Get out!"

"噗!" The neat sword sheathed, the neat pace, the orderly advance and retreat formed a sharp contrast with the scattered crowd.Seeing Tianci and Lier's confidence soared.Come fast, go fast.In a moment, the guard lifted the quarantine.

"Don't go yet!"

The crowd fled away in a panic as if they had just woken up from a big dream.

"Li'er, let's go in and have a look!" Tianci said eagerly, pushed open the door of Guangming Church, and walked in.

Knowing that Tianci and others dispersed the rioting crowd, Mia and others also removed the barrier from the gate.

"Miss Mia, are you not surprised?" Tianci asked with concern.

Although many Illuminati priests are still in shock, Mia maintained a rare calm, "We are not injured, thanks to the timely arrival of the Earl, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!"

Lier also walked forward to comfort Lier.

"Miss Mia, our Illuminati seems to be unpopular here!" One of the Illuminati priests timidly asked.In other parts of the mainland, people always respect the pastors of the Illuminati religion, and this is the first time that such a gathering and protest has happened.

Mia didn't know what to say for a while. She thought that with the help of God, coupled with the consistent reputation of the Guangming Cult, it would definitely be smooth sailing this time, but she didn't expect to encounter such a big resistance.

"Miss Mia, you don't have to worry so much. According to my observation just now, most of the people who came this time were businessmen or idlers, basically none of them were serious ordinary people, so I think this gathering must be It was secretly planned by someone, and it does not represent the public opinion of our Northwest people," Gru said.

Mia was taken aback, "Is someone planning?"

"Li'er, I'm going back now, do you want to go back together?" Tianci asked.

"I'll stay for a while, I'll go back later!" Lier said while pulling Mia.

"Well, Li'er, then I'll go back first! Gelu, you leave a team of personal guards to protect the Guangming Cult, and the rest get out of Yanhua City! Let's go back to the City Lord's Mansion together!" Tianci ordered.

Back at the City Lord's Mansion, Tianci's face was particularly gloomy. What Chen Wu had predicted finally happened!

"Gelu, why did you come here suddenly today!" Tianci sat down and asked.

"It was the leader of Chenwu who told me to prepare in advance, and come to help the Lord immediately if something happens!" Gru said, "Since the last time the Lord agreed to Miss Mia without authorization, the leader of the morning fog asked us to fight to control the riots. Crowd training!"

"Yeah! I thought about it too!" Tianci held a small note in his hand, "The thing I was most worried about happened! Now I also regret that the original decision was too impulsive and I didn't think about it carefully!"

Tianci stood up and walked to the window, "Today's crisis is over, but I really don't know what will happen tomorrow, I hope they don't go too far!"

At noon the next day, Clark hurried into Tianci's study, "Master, it's bad! Something is wrong!"

Tianci was startled, "What happened again?"

Clark panted and said, "Young master, the people below just heard that the merchants in the city stopped selling goods suddenly, and the supplies in the city were in short supply. And the five cities of Berna, Bossey, Berlin, Karama, and Kemayi also The news came at the same time, and there was a shortage of supplies. If it cannot be resolved immediately, I am afraid that within a few days, there will be chaos in the Northwest. I think this matter must be provoked by the Fengxue Sect. Deliberately embarrassing us! Fortunately, we have replaced many important officials in advance, otherwise the entire officialdom will be paralyzed, and the consequences will be even more unimaginable!"

Tianci suddenly got angry and slammed the table, "Slap!"

"Young Master, don't be impulsive!" Clark hurriedly dissuaded, "Merchants in the empire have the right to buy and sell freely. Even if we know that they deliberately backlogged goods, we can't force them to continue selling with knives and guns around their necks." of!"

Tianci gritted his teeth and nodded his head, "I see, it seems that this matter has begun to become serious! How is the transaction between us and the Mesto Chamber of Commerce and Barr Chamber of Commerce going?"

"Master, the progress between us and their two chambers of commerce is still very smooth, but because we have just started to cooperate and everything has not yet been formalized, so there are not many goods coming in. If we want to fully meet the needs of our Northwest, I'm afraid it will take at least two or three years!" Clark said.

At this time, Gelu also ran into Tianci's study, and the first reaction of Gelu, who also heard the news, was to inform the mayor, but he was still a step behind Clark.

"Gelu, hasn't the morning mist come yet?" Tianci asked.

Gru was slightly embarrassed, and whispered, "Master, have you forgotten what Chen Wu said?"

Tianci was taken aback for a moment, and then recalled the cold words that Chen Wu said when he shook his head and left, "If something really happens, don't bother me then!"

"Young master, I think it's better for us to ask Captain Chenwu for his opinion on this matter. We made a mistake last time, so we must be careful this time!" Clark said cautiously.

"Mr. Clark is right, let's ask the opinion of Captain Morning Mist!" Grue echoed.

"However, Chen Wu is still angry with me and ignores me these days!" Tianci said helplessly.

"Hey, my lord, as long as you admit your mistake, I don't think Chen Wu will be so stingy, otherwise she wouldn't have asked us to strengthen the training to control riots!"

Tianci nodded and rolled his eyes, "Hey! Wait for me to call Lier!"

Chen Wu lived with Lorna. In the yard, Tianci solemnly admitted his mistake to Chen Wu.

"Sister Chenwu, you see that Brother Tianci has apologized to you, so don't be angry with us again!" Li'er persuaded softly.

"He's a majestic Earl, and I'm just a small bodyguard captain, so I have no right to be angry with him!" Faced with Tianci's personal apology, Chen Wu was surprised but still stubborn, "The situation is already like this now. Now, my lord, what do you decide to do?"

Tianci was overjoyed, "I thought about it when I came here just now. This matter must have been done behind the scenes by the Fengxue God Sect. They should be revenge for my support for the Guangming Sect, and they are also demonstrating against us. I really want to They have been completely wiped out, but you and Viscount Sephiroth have also said that the Cult of the Wind Snow God has been deeply rooted in the northwest for thousands of years, and its forces are intricate, and we are just now establishing a firm foothold, so we cannot fight them hard. If I can stabilize the situation in the Northwest, I want to negotiate with them!"

"My lord thinks the same as me. The only way now is to negotiate with people from the Ice and Snow God Sect! But negotiations also need chips. Have you thought about what to use to negotiate with them? Do you want to use Kule City? Kuhe City and Kuluo City?" Chen Wu asked back.

"No! I will never trade the future of the people of these three cities with them!" Tianci said firmly.

"Young Master, as far as I know, most of the purple gold coins of the Snow Wind God Cult do not come from the tax revenue from the three cities of Kule, but from the giant salt field of Tianlei Lake!" Clark said suddenly.

Everyone was surprised!
"I told the young master a long time ago that this Tianlei Lake is not simple. I sent someone to investigate it privately. This Tianleihu is a saltwater lake, and the salt content in it is quite rich. A few years ago, the Fengxue Sect named it as Tianlei Lake. The Lake of Tears is occupied by them on the grounds of the holy lake. In fact, they have taken a fancy to its salt mines. You all know that there are tens of millions of businesses on the mainland, but this salt and iron is the most stable and profitable. Therefore, the empire Only then will it be nationalized. If the young master is reluctant to part with the people of the three cities, then why not use this salt mine to trade with them!"

Tianci thought for a while, "Mr. Clark, in your opinion, which salt mine is more profitable than our iron mine?"

Clark smiled, "Master, I think I can live without iron for three years, but I can't live without salt for three days!"

"My lord, we won't be able to take back this saltworks anyway, why don't we let them occupy it first, and we'll take it back when the time comes!" Gru cupped his hands and suggested.

Everyone agrees.

"Now we have the bargaining chip to go to them to trade, but there is still one problem that has not been resolved, which is about the Guangming Cult. The purpose of the Fengxue God Cult this time is clearly the Guangming Cult, and they will definitely not let the Guangming Cult With such a development, how do you think I should deal with it?" Tianci asked.

"Brother Tianci, I also told Mia about the situation here, and Mia understands your difficulties very well. She said that if you are in trouble, they should leave here!" Lier said softly.

Tianci's face darkened slightly, feeling unwilling.

"No, my lord!" Chen Wu immediately stopped him, "My lord fully supports the Guangming Sect this time, and the whole northwest knows it. If your lord suddenly let go and let the Guangming Cult be kicked out of the northwest province by the Fengxue God Sect, wouldn't it mean that your lord has already Admitting defeat to the Fengxue Sect? The damage to the reputation of adults will be immeasurable, so now we have become one with the Guangming Sect, and we can't abandon it even if we want to, so we can only do our best to protect it. "

After finishing speaking, Chen Wu gave Tianci a hard look, "Initially the situation was considered active for us, but now we can be as passive as we want, thanks to my lord..."

Lier heard vaguely beside her, and frowned slightly.

Tianci suddenly became embarrassed.

"Actually, it's not difficult to solve. The Fengxue God Sect only wants believers. They are worried that their believers will be snatched away by the Guangming Cult, so they will not hesitate to go to war or even go against the adults directly to drive away the Guangming Cult. And what your Ms. Mia wants is not to really spread some light teachings here, all she wants is to be able to gain a foothold here, to build the Church of Light in our Northwest Province. The number of believers means nothing to them. As long as we understand these two points, we will be fine. First of all, we only need to promise that the Bright Church will only be built in our Yanhua City, and no other places will be built, and Miss Mia will only carry out necessary instead of disseminating teachings on a large scale and offering pilgrimage. I think the Fengxue Sect is still acceptable!" Chen Wu analyzed.

Everyone nodded in satisfaction.

"Li'er, you can discuss it with Ms. Mia later. If possible, I will immediately negotiate with the Fengxue Sect!" Tianci said.

Not long after, Lier came back with news, and Mia agreed to such an arrangement.

With Mia's consent, Tianci, accompanied by Lorna, Clark and others, went to the Fengxue Church in Yanhua City.

As if she knew Tianci would come, Xuenv Bingxin came to the square early to welcome Tianci.

"My lord, the elders of our Xuedian have been waiting for you!" Xuenv said with a smile.

Tianci did not speak, and followed Bing Xin into the church.In the living room, the elder of Xuedian sat leisurely on the armchair, and when he saw Tianci coming in, he stood up slowly, "My lord, we meet again!"

Tianci sat down unceremoniously, "You know the purpose of my visit this time, so let's just talk about the conditions!"

"Quick talk, Lord City Master is really straightforward! Then I'll just say it straight! Ever since our Fengxue Sect was established for countless years, the northwest has always been our territory. If we don't provoke the Guangming Sect, the Guangming Sect shouldn't even try to provoke us. But your recent actions seem to violate the rules, and we have no other choice!"

"Just tell me what you want to do!"

"It's very simple, let the Guangming Cult leave the Northwest Province immediately, and demolish the Guangming Church!" Elder Xuedian said coldly.

"Impossible, since I have already built the Guangming Church, I won't demolish it easily. I came here this time to discuss a few other conditions with you! I wonder if you can be the master of your church!" Tianci said.

The elder Xuedian was slightly taken aback, "You can talk about it, if it's appropriate, I can make the decision for the leader!"

Clark walked forward and shared the conditions discussed by everyone with the elders of Xuedian on behalf of Tianci.

"Elder Xuedian, I think you should know what the crime is for opening the salt mine privately. You have all seen the fate of the Lie Sun Mercenary Group. So I propose that if you agree to our conditions, I can guarantee it in the name of the lord. , as long as you hand over half of the output of the salt mine to the empire, I will not pursue the rest, so that you can mine legally. Otherwise, even if I am deposed by His Majesty the King, I will report your private opening of the salt mine. I think you all know what the consequences will be!"

Elder Xuedian's face was gloomy, but he was constantly hesitating in his heart.
