On the evening of February 21, the thirty-fourth year of Tianxuan, Li Pengda finally appeared under the city gate of Shayuan Pass before it got dark, shouting loudly for the defenders of Shayuan Pass to open the city gate and let him in.
Qu Mao stood on the city gate tower of Shayuan Pass with several other core aboriginal heroes. Qu Mao suddenly frowned and asked: "Kong Ming, do you think there is a possibility: that Li Pengda and Are the rioting Chosen players and prisoners of war a group? Look at his appearance, is there any consciousness of being held hostage?"
Kong Ming said: "Sir, I think it is unlikely, but it is very possible that Mr. Li Pengda sympathizes with the rioting God's Chosen players.
The current state of Mr. Li Pengda can only show that the rioting God's Chosen player prisoners did not abuse him, but cannot explain other problems.
His subordinates have brought the scientific research team from the Holy Land of Emperor Yi to the Novice Village many times to communicate and communicate with the God's Chosen player prisoners. Each time, Mr. Li Pengda acted as the intermediary to make the contacts and arrangements. Understandably, this person is very satisfied with his current life in Novice Village and his status as editor-in-chief of the journal "History of Another World". He is even more satisfied than when he was the lord of the Principality of Pengda.
Therefore, based on the satisfaction with the current life, the subordinates also believe that Mr. Li Pengda cannot collude with the rioting God's Chosen player prisoners. As for other God's Chosen player prisoners, Mr. Li Pengda is at least one of the vested interests.
Who would be stupid enough to throw away the benefits he has already gained and join forces with others to bet on a future that has a high probability of losing? "
Xuande interjected: "Sir, I think the reason why Mr. Li Pengda seems so relaxed should be related to Mr. Li Pengda's own character. When the Pengda Principality was destroyed by us, we didn't see any sadness in Mr. Li Pengda.
In addition, as Mr. Kong Ming just said, Mr. Li Pengda was not mistreated during his abduction, and there may be some sympathy for the prisoners of war of the rioting Chosen players. "
Xinping walked over with the garrison heroes of Shayuan Pass. Xinping said: "Sir, my subordinates used telescopes to observe the whole process of Master Li Pengda coming to the pass wall. When leaving Liuhu Town, there were also God's Chosen players prisoners of war to see him off. But Mr. Li Pengda came all alone, and there was no one following him secretly."
Li Pengda stood under the city gate and shouted loudly: "Qu Mao, I saw you coming. Open the city gate quickly and let me in. None of them followed."
Qu Mao rolled his eyes, waved to Li Pengda who was under the city wall, and said to the heroes stationed at Shayuan Pass: "Assign a few soldiers to put a hanging basket down from the city gate tower and pull Li Pengda up. Don't leave the city." The door is open."
The garrison hero at Shayuan Pass was stunned and said, "Sir, there is no danger in opening the city gate!"
Qu Mao glared at the hero of Shayuan Pass and said, "Give him a kick!"
Soon, a hanging basket was lowered, and Li Pengda was hoisted up by several guardsmen. After all, it was the fifth-level city wall. During the process of fishing up, Li Pengda was so frightened that his face turned pale.
Qu Mao asked: "Li Pengda, what is the situation in Xinshou Village?"
There is currently no bloodshed or vandalism in the Novice Village. It is just that some of the God's Chosen players' prisoners of war initiated a riot and recruited traditional-level warriors with the help of the remaining warrior recruitment coupons in their backpacks. They immediately took control of Guanqian Town and In Liuhu Town, order in other places remains normal. "
Qu Mao frowned and asked, "How many traditional warriors have been recruited?" Li Pengda rolled his eyes wildly and said, "In total, there are almost more than 10,000. Xinshou Village has been without supplies for 10 days. Even Liuhu Town There is some surplus food in Guanqian Town, but with the addition of more than 10,000 traditional warriors, it is estimated that they will run out of food soon.
Although I have not been abused, I have not been eating well during this period. Can you eat something first? "
Kong Ming shook his goose feather fan and walked under the city wall while holding Li Pengda's shoulders and said to Qu Mao: "My lord, let's eat something first and chat while eating.
If there is no food in Novice Village, our residents with normal status will probably be the first to starve. "
Li Pengda said as he walked: "Qu Mao, the first request I brought is that they hope to provide them with enough food for a month."
Qu Mao thought for a while and said to the garrison hero at Shayuan Pass as he walked: "You stay here and arrange a squadron of unarmed garrison soldiers to send 100,000 units of food to Liuhu Town, Novice Village. Emphasis on half." It is given to our residents, and the remaining half is given to other Xinshou Village residents.
To show our sincerity in peace talks, the garrison soldiers from that squadron will come back tonight. "
Su Yan said dissatisfiedly: "Sir, all the rebels deserve to die, please give them food..."
Qu Mao waved his hand to interrupt Su Yan and said: "Let's go back to the city hall for dinner first, and then listen to the demands of the rioting God's Chosen player prisoners of war.
It is impossible to release them. We will hold another meeting to discuss other demands. "
After having a sumptuous dinner at the Shayuan Pass City Hall, Li Pengda began to tell Qu Mao and others about the demands of the rioting God's Chosen player prisoners of war.
Basically, it includes many aspects: first, they require unlimited supply of food in Novice Village, which can be freely purchased by residents of Novice Village using gold coins; second, they require a doubled supply of scientific research materials and daily necessities; third, they are allowed to Build a factory within the scope of Novice Village and relax the purchase restrictions on factory raw materials; fourth, they hope to get a certain number of opportunities to leave the scope of Novice Village; fifth, they hope to relax the restrictions on the scope of industries in Novice Village and allow them to purchase Land exceeding 1 square kilometer; sixth, they hope to obtain certain resident rights...
Qu Mao did not fully listen to Li Pengda's story and interrupted directly: "Damn it! Have they forgotten the identity of their prisoners of war? Do they think they can force our Yi Di territory to bow to them with a single riot?"
Li Pengda said: "Qu Mao, don't be like this. At least their demands are based on recognition of their status as prisoners of war. I don't think it's a big deal.
And they hope to build a town without city walls under their own leadership within the scope of Xinshou Village, which can be used to trade raw materials needed for industrial production, and daily necessities can still be purchased in Guanqian Town..."
Kong Ming shook his goose feather fan and said to Qu Mao: "Sir, when it comes to negotiations, the other party must be asking for a high price. We will counteroffer on the ground. There is no need to express too tough an attitude in advance."
