Chapter 25 Negotiations
"Sir, what should I do now?" Avita stared at Xu Yi in the magic airship that was leaving, and asked anxiously. "If Akali continues to stay in their hands, I... I'm very worried."
"What? Don't you think I'm afraid of the Duchess of Windsor, so I can only retreat?" Xu Yi asked in surprise.
"Sir, it's time now, don't joke with me, okay?" Avita glared at Xu Yi with a slight slight look. "I don't know who you are? You will definitely not leave Akali alone."
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "Okay, no joke. That's right, it's impossible to leave Akali and others behind. If it's spread, I, the president, can't do it anymore. Well... I'm not afraid of that Duchess of Windsor. But judging from the performance of Earl Doll just now, I'm afraid he now thinks that he has someone to support and will not accept my threat. If he is too anxious to force him, it may be detrimental to Akali and the others."
"What should we do?" Evita frowned deeply. "This Earl Doll is not good at scrupulous and hard, how can we rescue people from him?"
"Don't worry. The reason why Earl Doll arrested Akali and the others was of course to negotiate terms with me. Otherwise, it would be meaningless for him to do so. He would not do anything to Akali and the others before the terms were agreed, so we still have enough time to consider how to deal with it."
Xu Yi pondered for a moment, took a piece of paper, wrote a paragraph on it, and then folded it. The magic power in his body surged. After a moment, he engraved a magic seal array at the opening of the stacked piece of paper.
There are two blessings of this magic seal array. Except for the magician who knows how to uncover the seal, if others open it without permission, the magic seal will automatically start to destroy this piece of paper.
Xu Yi handed the sealed piece of paper to Avita.
"Take this to see Magila Magila and tell him the situation here. At the same time, you go back and discuss with Kennard and ask him to arrange some follow-up work. You just need to tell him that this time, I need to give some guys a deep warning, and don't worry about the others. Do you understand what I mean?"
Avita took the letter paper and put it in her pocket, nodded and said, "I understand. But Lord, won't you go back?"
"I won't go back. Earl Doll is not a patient guy. So we don't have much time left for us, so I have to hurry up and prepare for countermeasures."
After saying this, Xu Yi smiled again, patted Evita on the shoulder and said softly: "Evita, you really don't need to worry. Although Earl Doll unexpectedly invited an assistant from the Candela Empire this time, this helper may be almost equivalent to an invincible shield to him, but in my eyes, it is nothing. Do you believe me?"
Avita bit her lip and nodded vigorously.
"Well! Lord, I will always believe in you. The same is true for Akali!"
"Okay. Just in case, you bring three magic airships back. I'll wait for your good news." Xu Yi smiled slightly. "Of course, maybe by the time you come here again, Akali has been rescued by me."
Avita nodded and quickly stood up.
"No further ado, Lord, let's start taking action."
"good."
A moment later, three magic airships carried Evita and one hundred and fifty guards back to the main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, while the remaining seven magic airships turned southwest and flew into a hill about thirty kilometers west of the Earl Doll's private estate.
One night passed.
The next morning, when the sun had just sprinkled all the way from the east horizon, mapping the road in front of the gate of Earl Doll's private estate into a orange and yellow, Xu Yi appeared in front of the gate.
The two private guards of the Earls Doll who were in charge of guarding the gate of the private manor looked at Xu Yi in shock, immediately recognized him, and quickly greeted him with a nervous expression.
Seeing the two private guards holding the weapons in their hands tightly, but hesitating that he didn't know whether to point at Xu Yi, Xu Yi smiled slightly and nodded to one of them and said, "Go and notify Count Doll and tell him that Xu Yi, the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, is here. If he is convenient, I hope we can sit down and have a good talk."
The two private guards looked at each other, and the private guard who was staring at Xu Yi hesitated for a moment, nodded, turned around and ran towards the manor.
Seeing him running into the gate, Xu Yi sighed and shook his head gently.
If Count Doll had not been so opposed to setting up a magic communication network, the private guard would have to notify Count Doll in the manor through the telephone at the door. How could it be so troublesome to run in and notify him in person?
Xu Yi glanced at another private guard and found that he was nervous. He smiled at him, turned to look at the manor gate, and stood there without any movement.
He was not worried that Count Dole would refuse to meet him, because as he analyzed to Evita yesterday, Count Dole was not a lunatic and a complete idiot. If it were not for other purposes, he would not have had to suddenly kidnap Akali and a member of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
He knew very well what the consequences would bring. Even if there are strong support from the Candela Empire as support, it would be of no benefit to offend the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to death.
Sure enough, about ten minutes later, a broken carriage slowly drove out from the inside of the manor with the private guard who had just left.
"President Xu, Lord Earl let you in." The private guard was reposting Earl Doll's orders while looking at Xu Yi curiously.
President Xu of the New Air Chamber of Commerce is a legendary figure in the minds of everyone in the Principality of Stantin. Now I am lucky to see it with my own eyes, so of course I have to take a look at it.
Xu Yi glanced at the car in front of him, except for two wooden wheels and one that was so ragged that it even had countless cracks. It seemed that it would collapse at any time, not to mention that it had any gorgeous decorations, and there was not even a sun-shading ceiling. Even the horses pulling the cart were a batch of inferior old horses. He couldn't help but smile.
This Earl Dole is really a pity that he was able to find such a carriage. It is really difficult for him.
However, this guy is so stingy about doing things. It makes Xu Yi worry if the negotiations with him will be somewhat unexpected.
"Let's go."
Xu Yi sat in the carriage calmly, and did not enter the carriage. He sat on the shaft and next to the private guard who was responsible for operating the carriage. He looked casual, like an ordinary civilian.
The private guard looked at Xu Yi with a little nervous look, then remembered the orders of Earl Doll, and whipped the carriage and ran towards the inside of the manor.
After more than ten minutes of bumpy journey, Xu Yi saw a continuous building in front of the cement road.
Looking back at the manor gate that had disappeared from sight, Xu Yi frowned slightly.
Although his implementation of the policy of abolishing the private territories of the nobles in the Duke of Stantin has taken effect, there is no private territories exclusive to the nobles in the entire Duke of Stantin.
However, these noble lords undoubtedly made a lot of deductions when handing over the private territory they had in hand.
Take the private estate of Earl Doll as an example.
Xu Yi implemented the policy through the Principality of Stantin that while the noble lords handed over private territory, they could still retain their own private estates, because this was considered an ordinary private property and was not subject to this policy.
As a result, Earl Doll obviously expanded his private estate by at least ten times the area when he handed over his private territory, which made this private estate so wide.
There are many noble lords who do this like Earl Doll, but because the area added is countless times worse than their private territories, Xu Yi did not do so well and acquiesced to the existence of these excessively large private estates. This is a little compromise he reached with these noble lords.
While thinking about these questions, the carriage had already brought Xu Yi to the building.
Xu Yi jumped off the shaft of the carriage and rubbed his butt, which was a little hurt by the bumps of the carriage along the way. He didn't say hello to anyone, and walked directly to the hall in the middle.
On the way, several guards seemed to reach out to stop them, but Xu Yi walked over in front of them with his head held high, but they did not stop them in the end, allowing Xu Yi to walk in smoothly.
When he walked into the hall, he saw Earl Doll lying on a wide and soft chair, smiling foolishly without knowing what he was thinking.
Suddenly seeing Xu Yi walk in, Earl Doll was shocked and couldn't help but jump out of the chair, pointing at Xu Yi and shouting: "How did you come in?"
Xu Yi laughed: "Isn't it already spread?"
Earl Doll was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and suddenly realized that his reaction just now seemed a bit embarrassing, so he glared fiercely at the two private guards who followed Xu Yi in.
"How did you open the door? Just because people broke in? Do you still want to stay here?"
The two private guards lowered their heads and dared not refute.
"Okay, you guys get out quickly..." After Count Doll got angry at them, he shook his hand, as if he wanted them to get out. After hesitating for a while, he took back the sentence, snorted coldly, and sat down again.
Xu Yi saw his eyes turn and smiled, "Earl Dole, where is the Duchess now?"
Earl Doll glanced at Xu Yi and said disdainfully: "What do you think you are? Do you know your aunt you can see as long as you want?"
Xu Yi shrugged, not moved by Earl Doll's words, nodded and continued, "So Earl Doll, can you decide what's going on here?"
"Nonsense! I am the master here. Who can't make decisions?" Earl Doll said angrily.
"Is that?" Xu Yi showed a sarcastic smile. "Well, Count Doll, we should not waste time and start talking about the serious business. After a day of consideration, I still cannot give up these subordinates of the Chamber of Commerce, so I came here to visit today, hoping to talk to you. Count Doll, tell me what I want to do so that you will release them?"
Earl Doll looked like he knew you would do this for a long time, and laughed: "President Xu, President Xu, if you were so smart yesterday, how could your subordinates suffer for a day in vain? Let them know that you, the president, turned around and ran away. What do you think they would think?"
Xu Yi was still unmoved and responded calmly: "What they think is their business. I just want to know now, how do you want to release them?"
Earl Doll snorted coldly, leaned against the soft chair, and looked at Xu Yi with a proud look on his face.
"How can I release them? It's very simple. As long as you agree to my conditions, I promise to release them as quickly as possible."
"Okay, tell me your conditions."
"Listen. First, return me the private territory that should belong to me. Second..."
"impossible."
Xu Yi coldly interrupted Earl Doll. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
