Chapter 645: Gary negotiates peace, Wen Li: "I want Dick's life"
Wen Li stayed in Mingcheng until the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and flew to Jinzhou on the seventh day, hoping to deal with Gary's affairs before school started.
Due to a series of chain reactions, the entire city of Gary is now devastated and devastated. To control the situation, Gary has been forced to cut off all contact with the outside world, allowing only exit but not entry. However, money talks, and Wen Li's assassins are still able to penetrate every corner.
At that time, in order to restrict the actions of Jinzhou and Nanyang, the Governor of California, Abel, allowed several forces and even the army of Country T to enter California. However, he could not prevent Wen Li from making a move, nor could he prevent the people of California from burning their own homes, and some forces had already withdrawn from California.
The night after Wen Li arrived in Jinzhou, he added fuel to the fire for Gali. Gali is close to Country T and also has its back to Country T. Wen Li blew up the important transportation hub between Gali and Country T.
There are many ports in Gary, and the reason for choosing the one between Gary and Country T is to tell Gary that Country T cannot protect it, and also to tell Country T not to meddle in other people's affairs. This bombing made Gary, which was already in dire straits, even worse.
Under the siege of Jinzhou and Nanyang, Gali held out for three months, but finally couldn't hold on any longer and wanted to negotiate peace with Gali Nanyang.
Wen Li agreed to Gali's request for peace talks.
Gary took the initiative to set the location of the peace talks in Jinzhou.
Probably to show his sincerity.
It goes without saying that a substitute was sent.
But there is indeed sincerity.
What Wen Li and Lu Xixiao didn't know was that Governor Abel of California only had a substitute, and his real body couldn't come even if he wanted to.
Dick, the most ruthless man in Gary who has been in charge of border suppression for many years, has been guarding the Governor's Mansion for the past three months. While maintaining the safety of the Governor's Mansion, he has confused Wen Li and Lu Xixiao, making them believe that the Governor has always been in the Governor's Mansion.
At this time, he had just identified two killers from the vicinity and came back to learn that Gary was going to negotiate with Jinzhou Nanyang tomorrow.
Dick: “Peace talks?”
Stand-in Abel: "Yes."
Dick: "What conditions are you prepared to offer?"
Stand-in Abel: "Cede land and pay compensation."
Dick: "Does your Excellency have any other plans?"
Stand-in Abel: "I haven't received any other arrangements."
Dick fell into deep thought. He had been with Abel for twenty years, accompanying him from a small subordinate navigating the gray areas to a powerful governor. He knew Abel well. His Excellency had always been sensible, wise, and adaptable. He also understood Gary's current situation. Peace talks were the right path, but only if there was no blood feud.
The Lord and his cousin Charles had a deep friendship and were the most courageous man he had ever met. Given his character, Dick was a little surprised that he surrendered to his enemy so quickly.
Dick wanted to talk to the master in person - the master had been hiding in Country T. However, this would risk exposing the master's whereabouts, and the call was not safe, so he had to give up the idea.
Dick didn't know that the master he was loyal to had been beheaded long ago, and the person behind the substitute was not the real person, but Qi Yu.
Abel, the stand-in, looked calmly at Dick, who was silent and lost in thought. "Tomorrow's peace talks may not go smoothly. Once the results are known, the adults will naturally make arrangements."
Dick glanced at his stand-in, didn't respond, and asked in a businesslike tone, "Who do you need to arrange to go with you tomorrow?"
Stand-in: "Just send ordinary soldiers. We will take the initiative to set the location of the peace talks in Jinzhou. They know I am a stand-in."
Dick said nothing more, turned and strode away.
The next day, the stand-in Abel arrived at Jinzhou.
Jinzhou and Nanyang sit side by side, facing Jiali.
Wen Li wanted to see Gary's sincerity first.
So the map of the three continents was spread out on the table.
The stand-in drew a line on the map. "As long as Jinzhou and Nanyang cease all attacks on Gali and coexist peacefully, Gali will cede 150 hectares of land to each of them, and will also provide a settlement of 2 billion each."
Wen Li sneered, "What if we don't agree?"
The stand-in said, "Gary has come with the utmost sincerity. If the Jinzhou governor feels that's not enough, he can raise some additional conditions appropriately. As long as they're not too unreasonable, we can discuss them."
"If you two refuse to negotiate and insist on killing me, then Gary and I will have no choice but to fight to the death and perish together. While we have no chance of winning against two of us, even if we put all of Gary on the line, it will be enough to inflict heavy damage on Nanyang and Jinzhou."
"You killed Charles, cut off one of my ears, and caused chaos in Gary, causing Gary huge losses. It's time to stop. I know you Chinese have a saying: show mercy when you can."
"It would be better if you didn't mention your ears." Wen Li's tone was as calm and indifferent as ever, but his eyes had become several degrees colder.
There was a hint of murderous intent.
If the person sitting opposite him was a real person, Wen Li would have taken action.
Wen Li's reaction made Qi Yu, who had been sitting quietly, look at her, and his gaze then swept over Lu Xixiao beside Wen Li.
The stand-in looked at Lu Xixiao and said, "Nanyangzhou's ears are at least still on his head, but mine are completely gone."
Lu Xixiao's ears were still there, but he could no longer hear.
Wen Li glanced at the stand-in's bald other ear and sneered, "You're quite professional for a stand-in."
The stand-in, whose identity was directly exposed, did not try to hide it.
He said, "So to be precise, Governor Jinzhou cut off both of my ears. Of course, my ears aren't worth much."
He continued, "I hope you two will seriously consider this. If it really comes to a dead end, no one will benefit. If you two give in one step, Gary will give in ten."
He lowered his posture and gave enough face to Nanyang Jinzhou.
Wen Li looked at Lu Xixiao beside him.
The latter gave her a look that said "I'll listen to you".
Wen Li pondered for a moment before speaking, "Your captain's life is indeed worthless. Leaving him here would be a hidden danger, but it's nothing to be afraid of. However, your sincerity is truly lacking."
Stand-in: "May I ask what conditions the Governor has?"
Wen Li: "Three hundred hectares, five billion."
The lion's loud words made the double's face change. His outward reaction was perfectly acted, but his heart remained calm. He feigned anger and asked, "Does the governor really want to negotiate?"
Wen Li said with a smile, "It's you who are asking for peace."
The stand-in choked.
Wen Li's gaze fell on the map, at the border of Jiali and Jinzhou, and he said, "This piece of land has long been mine. Is it reasonable for you to compensate me with my own things?"
The stand-in suddenly realized.
“No wonder that place had the most riots.”
It turned out that it had been secretly occupied by Jinzhou a long time ago.
Stand-in: "I will convey your intention, Governor."
Wen Li: "Besides, I want Dick's life."
She left no room for negotiation. Governor California could survive, but Dick, who was deaf in his left ear, had to die.
Qi Yu lowered his eyes, and his eyelashes hid the frost in his eyes.
"Lord Dick is..." the stand-in wanted to say something.
Wen Li stopped him directly: "I will not accept any exchange terms. Also, let your governor hide in Gary. If I meet him outside, I will kill him."
After a moment of silence, the stand-in said, "I will convey your wishes. Please give us three days to consider."
Wen Li: "I don't have that much patience to wait. I'll give you one day. I want an answer the day after tomorrow."
The Stand nodded gravely and stood up.
As he turned around and left, he glanced at Qi Yu, who was sitting alone on the other side of the conference table.
The substitute returned to Gary and was asked by Dick about the results of the negotiations.
The stand-in honestly told Dick Wen Li that he wanted 300 hectares and 5 billion, but concealed the fact that Wen Li wanted his life.
The stand-in said, "They only give us one day to consider. Please, Sir Dick, arrange for someone to pass on the message to the Continental Lord as soon as possible."
The person Abel sent to convey the peace talks two days ago is still in the governor's mansion, waiting to bring back the results of the peace talks.
Abel is hiding in Country T. In order not to expose his whereabouts, Abel cannot use any communication equipment, even encrypted ones. They have been passing messages in this way for the past three months.
This process had to be passed through several other people. However, the person who ran the errand did not continue to relay the message after arriving in Country T...
The next afternoon, when Dick returned to the Governor's Mansion after patrolling nearby, the double had already received Abel's instructions. Dick didn't hear the double's conversation with the messenger in person, and he remembered that it seemed like he never met them...
