Chapter 396 Let's talk
After sending Fallen Leaves Feifei away from Qingcheng, he went directly to the City Lord’s Mansion with a sad frown on his face, a stranger he didn’t know.
However, another attempt was in vain, and Ji Xiaoyan left the City Lord's Mansion again.
"Wasn't the City Lord still in the City Lord's Mansion just now? Why did he disappear again?" The stranger looked at the NPC guard who came to convey the message to him with disbelief, and he frowned inwardly. Is it because Ji Xiaoyan didn't want to see him?
, so what excuse?
The NPC guard looked unaware and said stiffly: "The city lord has guests arriving, so he left Qingcheng to meet the guests."
"Leave Qingcheng to meet the guests?" The stranger frowned, a little disbelieving. If there are guests, shouldn't they be meeting in the City Lord's Mansion? Why do guests have to leave the City Lord's Mansion, or even leave Qingcheng to meet them?

The NPC guard nodded towards the stranger, thought for a moment, and then explained: "I heard that they seem to be people from the undead tribe. They are unwilling to enter Qing City, so the city lord can only go out and meet them."
I said "I don't know you before" and felt relieved.
"Then if the city lord comes back, please tell her that I came to see her." The stranger sighed, turned around and was about to leave. If you meet with NPC people, there must be something going on. If the time is uncertain,
There is no point in him waiting in the city lord's mansion!
"Okay." The NPC guard nodded and watched the stranger leave, then turned and returned to his post.
At this moment, Ji Xiaoyan has already met people from the undead tribe in a small town closest to Qingcheng.
"City Master Ji." The patriarch from the undead tribe looks like he is about fifty years old. His face is pale and his skin is sagging. He feels that his energy is not very good.
"Clan leader!" Ji Xiaoyan nodded and smiled at the leader of the undead clan, and his eyes fell on the group of aborigines following him.
This time, there were twenty natives of the Undead Tribe who accompanied the Undead Tribe leader, both men and women. They were all wearing black cloaks that covered their entire bodies. After seeing Ji Xiaoyan,
Only then did they take off their hoods and reveal their faces.
According to Frisman, the undead tribe leader who came to meet Ji Xiaoyan now was no longer the one she had met before, but a new patriarch who had just taken office. As for the previous one, I heard that
I went on a long trip, so I gave up my position as patriarch.
The newly appointed leader of the Undead Clan is not the son or grandson of the old leader, but the child of an elder of the Undead Clan. As for the reason for his rise to power, Frisman doesn’t know, and naturally has no way to tell.
Ji Xiaoyan.
However, Ji Xiaoyan doesn't care too much.
"City Master Ji, we are here with great sincerity. We only want to buy the dragon's bones and we hope that you will do it, Master Ji!" After the leader of the undead tribe followed Ji Xiaoyan and sat down in a tavern, he didn't waste any time and went straight to the meeting.
Jumping to the topic, he said to Ji Xiaoyan earnestly.
"Master Patriarch, I think Frisman should have explained it to you about the dragon bones a long time ago, right? We in Qingcheng really can't sell it to you." Ji Xiaoyan looked apologetic and sighed slightly.
Glancing at Frisman, who was standing next to her with his head down, he said to the leader of the undead clan.
"Frisman has said it. But, City Master Ji, haven't you also said it? As long as we, the Undead Tribe, can guarantee not to side with the Fox Tribe, are we willing to discuss it?" The leader of the Undead Tribe smiled slightly.
, countless wrinkles suddenly appeared on his face, as if he had aged several years, and he continued to say to Ji Xiaoyan: "City Lord Ji, we are here to discuss with you sincerely."
As soon as the voice of the leader of the undead clan fell, an undead clan woman standing behind him quickly stepped forward, held out a pile of gold coins, placed them in front of Ji Xiaoyan, and then said: "City Lord Ji, this is our meeting gift.
”
Ji Xiaoyan was stunned for a moment and looked at the leader of the undead clan in surprise.
"Master Ji, please accept it." The leader of the undead tribe said with a smile, "When you brought Frisman back to recognize your ancestors, the old patriarch and many elders wanted to thank you very much.
, but the financial situation of our undead clan was not very good at the beginning, and you were just an ordinary adventurer at that time, so I may have looked down upon you. These gold coins are compensation and gratitude. Please accept them.
”
Ji Xiaoyan blinked and turned to look at Frisman.
"Master Patriarch, don't we need this thing?" Frisman also frowned at this moment, looked at the leader of the undead tribe with a disapproving look, and then said: "When Xiaoyan sent me back to the land of the undead, the old man
The patriarch also gave me some gifts of thanks."
"How can you call the little thing the old patriarch gave you a gift of thanks!" The patriarch of the undead clan glanced at Frisman with a smile, and continued to Ji Xiaoyan: "City Lord Ji, these dragon bones we are going to talk about are not here.
What's the relationship? If you accept it, it won't affect anything. Keel, we naturally have to talk slowly according to what you said, right?"
Ji Xiaoyan smiled and did not move.
If they accept these gold coins, can they still talk about the dragon bones as they are now?
As the saying goes, eating someone's short mouth and taking advantage of someone's short hands is a truth she knows very well.
The leader of the undead tribe just smiled when he saw Ji Xiaoyan, with no intention of reaching out. The wrinkles on his face moved, and then he sighed and said: "City Lord Ji, you really make us don't know how to speak."
p>
"Just say it, the patriarch." Ji Xiaoyan smiled, "I also have my concerns about those dragon bones. Although I don't know what big things the undead tribe can do, I can guess how many.
points. For now, the Fox Clan has caused a storm on the mainland. If you Undead Clan gets these dragon bones again, if anything happens, then I, Qingcheng, will really be the biggest sinner. Clan Leader, you have to
We need to understand our situation in Qingcheng!"

"We can write an oath to Qingcheng and promise not to get involved with the Fox Clan, isn't that okay?" The leader of the Undead Clan frowned slightly, looked at Ji Xiaoyan seriously and asked.
"Clan leader, there are more than just fox tribes in this continent!" Ji Xiaoyan sighed, with a look of helplessness on his face.
The Fox Clan was just a possibility that Gui Tu reminded her of. Without the Fox Clan, there would still be Evil City! There might be other forces. Until that time comes, no one knows what kind of forces will eventually appear on the mainland, right?
The more important point is that if the undead clan has the bones of two giant dragons, then can't they become a force?
"City Lord Ji, what guarantee do you want from us before you can sell the dragon bone to us?" The leader of the undead clan looked at Ji Xiaoyan calmly and asked.
"Clan leader, I would like to ask first, why do the undead tribe have to buy these dragon bones?" Ji Xiaoyan stared at the leader of the undead tribe and asked seriously: "What do you want to do with these dragon bones?"<
/p>
The leader of the undead clan was stunned for a moment, exhaled with a smile, and then said perfunctorily: "What can we do with the dragon bones? We, the undead clan, just like to collect the bones of these powerful creatures. If we really want to
If you want to take it back for something, it’s just for collection."
"Master Patriarch, since it is just a collection, there is no need to say more." Ji Xiaoyan didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly laughed: "We in Qingcheng also want to keep the dragon bone collection, so we won't sell it out."
After saying that, Ji Xiaoyan stood up and prepared to leave.
The leader of the undead clan frowned and fixed his gaze on Ji Xiaoyan: "City Master Ji, you are meaningless. We told you it was a collection, but you didn't believe it; we told you we wouldn't cooperate with the Fox clan, but you didn't believe it either. Then
What do you want from us Undead?"
"Patriarch, I'll tell you the truth." Ji Xiaoyan thought for a moment and said, "Before we came back from the Black Bone Forest to slay the dragon, someone warned me not to sell the dragon bones to the undead. Because.
You can take these dragon bones back and make them into bone dragons! I was a little reluctant to believe it at first. After all, we in Qingcheng have already given away the skulls of the two dragon bones. Even if you undead people take the dragon bones back, you still won’t be able to make a complete bone dragon.
No? But that person also told me that it would not be very difficult for the undead to find the skulls of the two giant dragons..."
When the leader of the undead tribe heard Ji Xiaoyan's words, his brows knitted together. He didn't expect that someone actually told Ji Xiaoyan these things first.
"If the undead tribe wants to refine the bone dragon, I have no objection. But the current situation does not allow me to sell the dragon bones to you undead tribe and refine the bone dragon. Clan leader, do you understand what I mean?
?" Ji Xiaoyan looked at the wrinkles on the face of the leader of the undead clan and said to him: "Our Qingcheng itself is already in a lot of troubles. If there is one more trouble from the undead clan, then I, the city lord, will be in trouble.
I really can’t stand it anymore.”
"Master Ji, the undead clan must get the dragon bone." The leader of the undead clan said firmly to Ji Xiaoyan without hesitation, "Indeed, just as you said, Lord Ji. We the undead clan bought the dragon bone just for the sake of it.
We can refine one or two bone dragons, but we have no intention of cooperating with the Fox Clan. City Lord Ji, you can rest assured."
Ji Xiaoyan still shook his head.
The leader of the undead clan thought for a while and continued in a deep voice: "City Master Ji, our undead clan has almost cut off contact with the mainland for many years and has not been involved in any other things. However, this does not mean that we, the undead clan, have
It’s safe! You are worried about the Fox Clan, and our Undead Clan will also be worried about the Fox Clan’s attack! If there is no bone dragon guard, our Undead Clan will also be devoured by the Fox Clan in the future. We are only here to protect our land of the undead.
! Lord Ji, I hope you can make it happen.”
When Friesman heard this, he was shocked and couldn't help but look at Ji Xiaoyan.
Ji Xiaoyan frowned and said nothing.
The leader of the undead clan stared at Ji Xiaoyan for a long time, and saw that she still didn't make any statement. After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said: "Think about it, Lord Ji, you should also be worried about the safety of Qingcheng. After all, in your position, you have the responsibility.
It is the responsibility of a city... Let's do it. City Lord Ji, if you are just worried about whether the undead clan will threaten Qingcheng in the future, I swear to the Lord God as the leader of the undead clan, it is even okay.
Write a covenant to you, Lord Ji. No matter what happens in the future, our undead race will never actively pose any threat to Qingcheng."
Frisman's eyes lit up and he gently tugged on Ji Xiaoyan's clothes.
Ji Xiaoyan turned to look at Frisman, sighed and shook his head, then looked at the leader of the undead tribe and said: "Master leader, I still can't agree to what you said."
Not taking the initiative to pose a threat to Qingcheng? This sentence itself has foreshadowing.
Once something really happens, if the Undead Clan has the same ambition as the Fox Clan and swallows up the continent directly, leaving them with a clear city and then not allowing them to enter or leave, what will they do then?
To fight or not to fight? That is an obvious thing! In the end, it was not them who took the initiative to clear the city when the war started?
She couldn't possibly ruin Qingcheng's future for a few gold coins, right?
"City Lord Ji!" The leader of the undead clan was a little angry, "You don't have the sincerity to talk to our undead clan at all!"
"Master Patriarch, I asked Frisman to reject you at the beginning." Ji Xiaoyan frowned without showing any signs of weakness, looked at the leader of the undead tribe and said, "But your attitude is very firm, you must have dragon bones, so I thought
Let the patriarch come for an interview. On the one hand, I want to tell you about our decision in Qingcheng. On the other hand, I want to see what your attitude is like towards this matter and what your attitude is towards our Qingcheng. But
Looking at it now, I still insist that the keel is not for sale!"
After speaking, Ji Xiaoyan gestured directly to Frisman and the others and walked out of the tavern.
Friesman was stunned in place, watching the leader of the undead tribe look at him, and did not move for a moment.
Yan Mo, Manager Qing Gong and others glanced at Frisman, frowned, then each of them took one of his hands and led him directly out of the tavern door with Ji Xiaoyan.
"Lord Patriarch!" Several aborigines from the Undead Tribe frowned and looked in the direction Ji Xiaoyan and the others were leaving, and couldn't help shouting.
"It doesn't matter, let's stay here first, and then contact Frisman." The leader of the undead tribe suppressed his displeasure and said to everyone: "You are here, but you have to achieve your goal before going back.
.With Frisman here, we still have a chance to talk again! However, this Ji City Lord is not as easy to coax as the old patriarch told them to say!"
When everyone heard this, their eyes fell on the pile of gold coins on the table.
As long as City Lord Ji accepted those gold coins, this negotiation would naturally go much smoother. According to the old patriarch and many elders, City Lord Ji should be very greedy for money! They did not expect that these thousands of gold coins were piled up on her
