Chapter 979 Negotiation Day
Which faction does Wu Yi belong to? With his current status, in the eyes of many people, he may not be qualified to join a faction, but just a low-ranking military officer.
However, this question is quite complicated to explain.
Wu Yi came to the Daji Dynasty under the mission of the sect, representing the interests of the sect, or the entire Taoism, to hinder the growth of the Daji Dynasty and prevent it from becoming a threat to the Taoism.
However, within the Taoism, the issue of the Daji Dynasty is also divided into two major factions.
One side believes that the evil must be eradicated and the foundation for the growth of humanity in the upper realm must be completely wiped out, but the other side believes that in the context of the world's promotion, internal struggles cannot be allowed, and forces that may become friends must be united.
Although Wu Yi has great autonomy in the Daji Dynasty, he is just a chess piece of moderate size, and his actions are no more than two choices: suppression and full suppression.
Finally, Wu Yi now has not yet realized that his luck, with the appearance of the luck golden dragon, is no longer only bound to the Taoism, but also affected by the human dynasty.
In other words, Wu Yi's interest base has become diversified, and how to act is a test of his means and mind. In fact, for Wu Yi now, wandering between various forces and maintaining the current balance may be a better choice.
People are so complicated, and their fortunes are disturbing, but they cannot be traced, but they can be found by looking at their interests.
The spies from all directions are like ants attracted by honey, and they can't be killed at all. What's more, some people can't be killed by Wu Yi because of their status.
If they are just patrolling outside and not going deep, Wu Yi will turn a blind eye. If they think they are silent and want to know more, Wu Yi will catch them and detain them. In the past two nights, there are no less than dozens of scouts and spies detained, and there are not enough soldiers to guard them.
Generally speaking, there was no open conflict in the past two days. All the killings and ugliness were shrouded in the night, and few people knew about it.
In this way, the day of negotiation agreed by Marshal Zhang Tianwen and the chief of the northern tribe has arrived.
It was mid-March. Spring had already begun in the southern part of the dynasty, with birds singing and flowers blooming. However, the cold in the north showed no sign of abating, but became more severe. The sky still fell with heavy snow from time to time, and visibility was less than 100 meters.
On this day, beacons were raised from the top of the mountain, stretching from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, burning almost all the firewood for a month.
Wu Yi was transferred by Marshal Zhang Tianwen to be a knife-wielding guard, and the rest of the garrison soldiers took on the task of standing guard along the road. Obviously, it was not an easy job.
In the cold and freezing weather, the breath turned into ice. In the absence of cotton clothes, many people must have fallen ill later. Fortunately, there was a fire where they stood guard, and they could get warmth and comfort.
Although this was a hard and tiring job, it had to be done because it meant the face of the dynasty. However, Wu Yi was quite disdainful of it. Soldiers were hungry and cold, so how could they talk about face?
Wu Yi had also requested the marshal to allocate a batch of cold-weather supplies, but Zhang Tianwen's personal soldiers replied that it was too late as the negotiation date was approaching. Wu Yi didn't even know whether his report had been fed back to the marshal's desk.
If it weren't for the lack of cold-weather supplies, Wu Yi wouldn't have consumed the equally important wood reserves. Compared to cotton clothes, at least firewood can be obtained near Thorn Ridge. Wu Yi still knows which is more important.
At the beginning of this negotiation, Wu Yi was not particularly happy because of this matter. Zhang Tianwen's personal soldiers were all gorgeously armored and had everything they needed. His own men, apart from other things, had to have basic guarantees! If he appeared in front of the chief like this, who would lose face at that time?
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Zhang Tianwen wanted to show weakness to the enemy, telling them that he lacked cold-weather supplies, luring them to attack, and then taking the opportunity to win a victory.
Not to mention the success rate of this idea, in this idea, Wu Yi and others are still cannon fodder, acting as bait, which only makes Wu Yi more unhappy.
At dawn that day, the sky was still peaceful. Although the north wind blew into people's bones, the sun was shining brightly and no snow fell. However, no one could predict the weather afterwards. Maybe a blizzard would happen in a few hours.
Wu Yi and Zhang Tianwen came to the mountainside around Chenshi to welcome the guests. If they were to welcome them at the foot of the mountain, it would be too low, and it would seem a bit contemptuous at the top of the mountain. Choosing the mountainside, the dilemma is solved.
At this moment, Wu Yi stood behind Marshal Zhang Tianwen, like a pine tree, looking straight ahead, and his posture was no different from others, but the big knife in his hand could not be ignored anyway.
Because Zhang Tianwen gave Wu Yi the Tiger Roaring Knife, the rest of his personal soldiers were a little jealous when they saw Wu Yi's eyes. But they knew that the marshal wanted to take Wu Yi in, so they didn't openly mock Wu Yi, but isolation had already happened invisibly.
Wu Yi even suspected that when he wanted to allocate a batch of cold-weather supplies before, he was blocked by this group of personal soldiers.
At this moment, Wu Yi was not that nervous, as he had seen many storms, but it was impossible to say that he didn't take it seriously. As time passed, Wu Yi could feel the collision of luck more and more. Today's negotiation was definitely a big deal.
It didn't take long to wait, just a cup of tea, and there was a rustling sound from the front. In fact, the whereabouts of these chiefs were reported every incense stick, so Zhang Tianwen could be said to have come on time.
The sound of the footsteps became clearer and clearer, and a group of people with very strange appearances appeared in front of Wu Yi. This group of people, in total, was similar to Zhang Tianwen's personal soldiers, and there were more than a hundred people.
This group of people seemed to be walking in disorder, but they were very vigilant. It can be seen that they were all good at fighting tigers and brown bears in the mountains. There were also sharpshooters among them, carrying a bow as tall as a person behind them. This strong bow must be as much as five stones (one stone is three hundred pounds, and five stones requires a force of one thousand five hundred pounds to pull it open).
The weapons they held were also of various kinds. In addition to the previous bow, there were maces, giant axes, meteor hammers, and some extremely strange weapons. Wu Yi didn't know how to describe them.
Finally, it is worth mentioning that among this group of people, there are about ten monks, wearing Vimalakirti hats, holding relics in their hands, and of different heights, weights and bodies. At the same time, Wu Yi also saw two familiar figures in the group of monks.
