Chapter 78 Cooperation in Dealing
Looking at my expression, Emperor Tong raised his eyebrows gently, but a hint of clear expression appeared in his eyes.
He didn't ask, but just leaned forward a little, held his chin in his hand, looked at me with a playful look, and then said in a slightly exaggerated tone: "Tsk tsk tsk, it's hard to imagine that Nie Yan has no sword in his hand, I began to wonder, what happened to Nie Yan at the last moment?"
I have to say that the expression and posture of Emperor Tong are completely worthy of the idiom "Fenghuan and Peerless".
It is much harder for a man to reach this level than for a woman.
But my heart was so empty that he said that I felt so uncomfortable that I couldn't describe this feeling, and I didn't have the heart to appreciate what he called the splendor.
However, Emperor Tong didn't want to get involved in this topic. He had returned to his normal sitting posture in a blink of an eye. He tapped his fingers on the table and said, "This kind of problem is your own problem. For me, there is no need to talk about it. Since you are here, let's talk about the main thing quickly."
His attitude changed quickly enough.
I could only forcibly suppress the strange feeling in my heart. When it comes to serious matters, my expression naturally became solemn.
Emperor Tong said, "Mr. Ye, of course you don't have to be too nervous. He came here early in the morning and probably didn't have breakfast. Why don't you eat and talk with me?"
I was talking about breakfast again? I think if the man in front of me didn’t understand his identity and ability, I would definitely think he was simply a ‘neurystic’ art-making person, even more ‘neurystic’ than a woman!
But I couldn't refuse, another servant from the mouth of the Tong Emperor appeared at the door, pushing a very Western-style cart with something on it.
Emperor Tong waited with a relaxed look, and hummed a little song, but I looked at everything that was completely inconsistent with a strange feeling, then looked at the table in front of me with a large plate of steak and poured a glass of bright red wine.
The Tong Emperor seemed to be very accustomed to all this. He had already shaken his red wine glass gently, sniffed it a few times, and took a sip, with an elegant posture.
"This wine has been awake, a very special kind of red wine, with a light rose fragrance. But it is said to be shallow, but when it is placed in the chest or the nose, the fragrance lingers. There is a mysterious sweet fragrance aftertaste, and the slight flesh and blood aftertaste in this 5-minute cooked steak is the most fusion."
Emperor Tong seemed to be very idle and told me a lot of nonsense.
While speaking, he cut the steak again, and the tender pink meat inside him, he squinted his eyes and looked at it, then nodded slightly, and said, "Well, this chef cooks well. Many people think that 5- or 6-cent cooked steaks are bloodshot, and think that the Western guys love to eat this kind of thing. In fact, otherwise, a really good tender steak should look like this. After cutting it, it has a pink color."
While speaking, Emperor Tong gave him a piece of steak, chewed it a few times, and took another sip of red wine.
The movements are neat and always maintain a certain elegance.
But I didn't understand what he said. My patience had reached the limit. I picked up the glass of red wine in front of me, poured it in half, and then cut a large piece of steak and stuffed it into my mouth. Under the helpless shaking of Tongdi's head, he said directly: "What I brought is news from the artist."
"Swap the natural resources." Emperor Tong seemed not very interested, but instead felt sad that I was ruining his so-called steak and red wine.
I didn't bother to pay attention to him. Another large piece of steak was stuffed into my mouth very directly. I took a big sip of red wine and the cup was empty.
The servant standing next to me quickly poured another cup for me, and I continued, "You know the artist's news, right? I won't introduce it. I believe you have that silhouette picture, right? But can you find it?"
Tong Emperor continued to lower his head and ate his steak. Compared to my recklessness, he was like a prince. He took a sip of red wine and said, "Even if I don't fight, people like me and you must maintain a certain good habit, just like practicing every day. It is normal to eat high-energy beef for breakfast. It is not as good as the speed of consumption of the body. Chinese herbs are a magical thing, but they can give people a huge supplement. Sometimes a little medicinal food is also necessary."
He didn't answer my words at all, and I seemed to be talking to him.
However, I don't mind that I didn't have time to have breakfast, but I just drank that bowl of my unique "luxury breakfast". The rose-scented red wine I didn't taste at all, but the steak is really good, with a mouthful of gravy, and it's very delicate and smooth, and it's not an exaggeration to describe it as melting in the mouth.
Very delicious! Even if you can't get a meal with Tongdi?
I don’t know why, but I don’t have the awareness that the Tong Emperor is my ‘savior’, but instead thinks that I should be like this when I get along with him.
So, I was still a large steak entrance, and I didn't care what he said at all, and continued: "I want to cooperate with you. I want all the information you once said about the so-called underground space city. You must solemnly use the highest level of Taoism to swear, and you must say everything."
When he finished speaking, Emperor Tong shook his hand with the cup. The red wine as red as blood in the cup spread out ripples. His expression was still calm, but the suppressed anger in his eyes was already very obvious. He did not rush to express anything, but took a sip of the red wine in the cup again.
I didn't care about him and concentrated on eating the huge steak in front of me.
Emperor Tong said, "Ye Zhengling, you said on the phone that you have the most accurate news about the record of the mountain and sea Hundred Demons. You mentioned important clues just now, but I maintained 100% full trust in you, and then I flew back in a hurry."
While speaking, he put down the red wine glass in his hand.
As the seemingly gentle movements, the best crystal wine glass cracked slightly, and finally couldn't hold on. The bright red liquid in the cup flowed on the table, leaving light red marks on Tong Emperor's white robe.
The servants who stood beside us and served started to deal with each other quickly, but Emperor Tong seemed to be careless and just stared at me tightly.
"I thought you wanted to work with me to find that artist, but now, are you sure you are not here to provoke me?" I could actually feel the anger of Tong Emperor.
After all, I had judged before that the matter in the dungeon might be a thorn in his heart.
I swallowed the steak in my mouth, and faced the angry gaze of the Tong Emperor, but refused to retreat at all. I said directly: "My conditions will not change. I have already proposed it. And I have found the artist."
For no reason, Emperor Tong stood up suddenly and made a gesture of silence at me. With a wave of his hand, the servant beside him hurriedly retreated, and he didn't even bother to clean up the table.
I picked up the napkin on the table, wiped my mouth casually, looked at the Tongdi, and said, "Why, it aroused your interest?"
"Can you confirm the news?" Tong Emperor did not answer me directly. His caress was what he said.
"In the name of the Huo Nie family." I also said solemnly that no matter how careless the conversation just now seemed, on this point, I must give Tong Emperor a guarantee.
"Will you only disclose this news to me in the Shui Tong family?" At this time, the conversation was no longer between me and Tong Emperor, but involved two families.
"Of course, the only partner is you." I answered very simply.
"The only one is the condition just now?" Emperor Tong narrowed his eyes and said, "You are really good at picking, you want to tear open my wounds bloodily."
"There is no way, my important person has fallen into it." I have nothing to hide from Tongdi.
"Okay, then let's make a deal." Emperor Tong was silent for a while, and refused to give up this important news. After all, finding an artist is equivalent to finding that mysterious sealed place.
"No, wait, there is a small additional condition." I said seriously.
"I hope you don't touch my bottom line again and again." Emperor Tong's eyes became a little cold.
"Of course not! Remember, this time it is cooperation, not me selling you news, so the conditions I mentioned before are just the premise for us to cooperate. What is cooperation, what you know is that we have to catch that artist together. No matter what "plitting" out of his mouth, resources are shared." After all, without restrictions, this is the best way I can choose.
After saying that, I looked at Tong Emperor and felt a little nervous. From another perspective, I can indeed take advantage of him, right?
It's just a matter of benefit.
Emperor Tong unconsciously stroked his lips, looking at me and said seriously: "Ye Zhengling, one thing you must be clear is that there is only one record of the Mountain and Sea Hundred Demons Record. And you still have the advantage, the last scroll."
He was talking about the scroll hidden in the iron box found from the cat demon.
I smiled indifferently and said, "Tong Emperor, don't you have any clues of your own? Moreover, our cooperation is limited to the artist's affairs. The rest, such as the mountain and sea, are the Hundred Demons Records, let's rely more on our ability."
Emperor Tong didn't speak, but just looked at me with uncertain eyes.
This time, I leaned forward slightly, looked at the Tong Emperor and said, "Is the deal done?"
