Chapter 389 Negotiations in progress
"I listen to big brother!"
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei lowered their heads, a hint of disappointment flashed in their eyes.
They understood that Liu Bei had mortgaged them for his own benefit.
Although the words are high-sounding, but after the analysis by Zhuge Liang and Jiang Chen before,
They are really fools if they don't understand.
Liu Bei, in fact, still has selfish intentions, but he hides them extremely deeply, he is good at eloquence, and he is also good at acting, and he keeps playing the two of them around.
But this time, the two of them understood.
"You two virtuous brothers, please get up quickly, don't need to be polite!"
"It's well deserved!"
Liu Bei quickly helped Erdian up, and the two looked grateful.
There was no longer any strangeness in his eyes. After Liu Bei saw it, he was relieved, as if he had taken a reassurance.
After all, everything was still under his control.
"My lord, this time, General Zhao Zilong will come with Liang and others!"
"I'm waiting outside the mansion at this time. I wonder if I should announce him to discuss cooperation matters?"
"General Zhao came with countless ships of copper coins this time. As long as a cooperation agreement is negotiated, he will directly pay three years' rent in advance!"
Three years is the time limit they agreed upon. After three years, it is still unknown who will own the territory.
Naturally, it is impossible for Jiang Chen to give Liu Bei more money if he has a lot of money, that would be too cheap for him.
"Then what are you still doing?"
"The honored guests are coming, so naturally we must greet them quickly!"
"Wait a minute, Yu Bei will greet you in person, and you will go with Bei!"
Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Liu Bei's eyes lit up.
A few boatloads of copper coins, that's great, now Liu Bei's territory is clinking with poverty.
If there is money to carry out actions, it is naturally a dream.
"Yes, my lord!"
Seeing Liu Bei hurried out of the hall, Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang looked at each other, and they both saw disappointment in each other's eyes.
However, soon, the two returned to calm.
Even Zhang Fei, who has always been arrogant, has become much calmer today.
"So it's Zilong. Long time no see. I didn't expect Zilong's prestige to remain the same as before!"
"Hurry up, please, the distinguished guest is coming!"
"Come on, hurry up and prepare the banquet. Today, I will not get drunk with Zilong!"
Liu Bei came outside the mansion, and when he saw Zhao Zilong, he immediately took his hand affectionately.
That enthusiastic look, if it was Zhao Zilong before, he would definitely be grateful.
The former General of the Five Tigers, even in the hands of Liu Bei, made great achievements, even if the treatment was extremely poor,
Also, his merits were not treated at all, and Zhao Zilong didn't complain at all.
Because, Zhao Zilong was also manipulated to death by Liu Bei.
Zhao Zilong is the kind of person who wants to revitalize the Han Dynasty wholeheartedly, so he has no complaints or regrets,
But now, when Zhao Zilong met Jiang Chen,
He felt that Liu Bei was far behind Jiang Chen in comparison.
He didn't notice it before, but now he only feels that Liu Bei is so hypocritical.
"Liu Zhoumu, Zilong now represents Hanzhong!"
"Let's talk about business first!"
Zhao Zilong broke free from Liu Bei's hand without a trace, and said indifferently.
"Yes, yes, I am so happy for a while!"
"I almost forgot, the former Zilong was a general that Bei trusted very much!"
"I didn't expect good luck to trick people"
As Liu Bei spoke, tears seemed to be bred in those big eyes.
"Liu Zhoumu, if it's not convenient to negotiate today!"
"We can talk another day!"
"Or wait for Zilong to go to Dantu first, and then talk to Liuzhou Mu when he comes back?"
Zhao Zilong interrupted Liu Bei's performance very decisively.
He doesn't want to watch Liu Bei's performance anymore, he has the firmest belief in Jiang Chen in his heart now.
"Let Zilong laugh!"
"It's just because I haven't seen you for so long, I feel a little bit emotional!"
"Zilong is here to invite you, let's talk right away!"
Seeing that Zhao Zilong was about to leave, Liu Bei immediately withdrew his tears, and his face turned into a warm smile. The speed of the face change was astounding.
This also made Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu and others, the only luck in their hearts disappeared.
It seems that Liu Bei is better at acting than they imagined.
"please!"
After a while, several people had already arrived in the meeting hall.
"Liu Zhoumu, I believe you have already learned about some things about my lord wanting to rent the land!"
"I wonder if Liu Zhoumu agrees?"
"If you agree, Zilong will enclose the land now and pay you the full amount!"
"If Liu Zhoumu hasn't made up his mind yet, then Zilong can resign first and talk to Sun Zhoumu first, but the amount of money Zilong brought this time is limited!"
"Zilong also wants to keep more money here because of his previous fate!"
"If Liu Zhoumu didn't mean it, then Zilong would be just pretending to be affectionate!"
Zhao Zilong went straight to the point and stated his conditions directly.
Originally, Liu Bei wanted to hold back a little longer and delay a little longer, making Zhao Zilong anxious and offer higher conditions.
But hearing what Zhao Zilong said, Liu Bei immediately became anxious.
I really want him to go to Sun Quan, the land there is more prosperous,
How much money can he make when others leave it?
Maybe there are not a few hairs left. Thinking of this, Liu Bei became anxious immediately.
"Since Zilong said so!"
"Bei is not a hypocritical person, at least you and I had a relationship once!"
"Bei can accept Jiang Chen's conditions and is willing to lease the land to him!"
"I don't know which places Zilong has taken a fancy to in Bei, but Bei must clarify that some of the more prosperous development areas may not be available for Bei!"
"After all, Bei also needs to develop, we can't let Bei stand still just to take care of Jiang Chen!"
Liu Bei pretended to be very embarrassed and said.
In his heart, he already wanted to keep all Zhao Zilong's money.
However, he couldn't say it.
"Zilong understands!"
"My lord's favorite is naturally not the bustling area!"
"My lord wants to help Liuzhou Mu with his construction, so he chose some desolate areas!"
"And the rent is very high!"
"However, my lord has conditions and must ensure the absolute safety of the rental area!"
"And allow me to wait in the rented area, the rented army ranges from [-] to [-]!"
"However, don't worry, my lord is a person who keeps his promise, and will never let them out of the rental area, otherwise it will be considered a violation!"
"At that time, you can take back all those leased areas, and there is no need to refund the rent!"
"I don't know what Liu Zhou's intentions are?"
Zhao Zilong looked at Liu Bei with a smile.
"garrison??"
"Didn't the previous negotiations say that there was no need to garrison troops??"
Zhuge Liang stood up and looked at Zhao Zilong dissatisfied.
In his opinion, this may be Zhao Zilong deliberately using it to embarrass them.
