Happy pastoral event: a wonderful wife

Chapter 421 Negotiation Process

Officers and soldiers can attack the cottage unimpeded, and traps are no longer a problem.

Seeing this, Ye Cheng glanced at the little bandit and said, "Forget that you are capable, that's all right, you can go."

He leniently let the little bandit go.

Then, a large force of officers and soldiers attacked the cottage.

After a while, they hit the cottage.

Ah Guang hurriedly ran to look for Leng Ling, "Boss, it's not good, the officers and soldiers are calling!"

"What?" Leng Ling was startled, "So fast, it's impossible, those traps can at least stop the officers and soldiers for a whole day, how could they attack so quickly."

A Guang shook his head, "I don't know, but no matter what, they have already arrived, and we have no time to escape."

At this time, another bandit came in and reported, "Boss, the officers and soldiers are at the door now, and they are calling you out."

"Why didn't they attack at the door?" A Guang asked worriedly.

Leng Ling took a deep breath, "They want to negotiate with me, most likely for Miss Shen."

"Boss, if they really want Miss Shen, then let's hand over Miss Shen, there's no need to make such a big sacrifice for her." A Guang begged.

Now that the officers and soldiers have already fought, it will take only a few minutes to break through the stronghold. In order to take the overall situation into consideration, A Guang felt that it was the best decision to hand over Shen Yunjin.

Leng Ling's face was a little gloomy, "I have my own sense of proportion. I won't sacrifice the entire cottage because of her. I'll go out and negotiate with them first, and see what they will say."

So, Ah Guang escorted Leng Ling to the gate of the cottage.

As soon as he saw Leng Ling, Li Yi became furious. He really wanted to rush over to beat Leng Ling, but Ye Cheng stopped him.

"Wait a minute, don't be impulsive!" Ye Cheng tugged at him, "Let's talk to him first, you won't be able to save Miss Shen if you beat him."

Hearing this, Li Yi had no choice but to restrain his emotions and calm down temporarily.

Ye Cheng stepped forward and talked to Leng Ling.

A group of people from Prince Xiao's Mansion immediately stood by his side, fearing that the bandits would hurt him if they were cold.

"Let me ask you, where is Miss Shen now? Is she okay?" Ye Cheng asked.

Leng Ling nodded, "She's in our cottage, she's a very nice person."

"Release her, immediately!" Ye Cheng said in a deep voice.

Leng Ling shook his head, "No."

Hearing this, Ah Guang's heart tightened, he was afraid that Leng Ling's refusal would annoy Ye Cheng and cause the officers and soldiers to destroy their cottage.

"Why, at this point, do you think you still have a way out?" Ye Cheng asked.

Leng Ling snorted and said with a smile, "I know, you are all coming here for Miss Shen, don't you dare to touch a hair in our cottage if you don't see Miss Shen?"

Ye Cheng frowned suddenly, he didn't expect that a mere bandit would dare to be so arrogant.

"You also know that we are coming in menacing ways, so why don't you hurry up and let Miss Shen go. Could it be that you really want us to beat up your broken cottage to nothing?" Ye Cheng became angry, " Quickly bring Miss Shen out!"

Seeing that Ye Cheng was angry, Leng Ling was even more satisfied.

He knew that the more angry Ye Cheng was, the more they cared about Shen Yunjin.

Therefore, Shen Yunjin became the only bargaining chip he had, as long as Shen Yunjin was still in his hands, his cottage could still be kept.

"If I hand over Miss Shen to you, then you will definitely take over our cottage immediately. Do you think I'm really that stupid?" Leng Ling said in a deep voice.

Ye Cheng was thoughtful, "Then what do you want, in fact, I can go directly to your cottage and arrest you all before going to Miss Shen. You can save money by handing over Miss Shen now." Some troubles, for the sake of your cooperation, I can consider giving you a way out."

Leng Ling shook his head, "Don't think about it, even if you flatten our cottage, you won't be able to find Miss Shen. I've already transferred Miss Shen to a place that only I know. Don't try to find her. If you kill me or destroy the village, then Miss Shen will be trapped in the village forever, and no one will be able to find her."

Ye Cheng frowned, it seemed that this Leng Ling was quite difficult to deal with.

He didn't know whether what Leng Ling said was true, but he knew that Shen Yunjin's safety could not be risked.

He planned to deal with Leng Ling again, try to negotiate with Leng Ling, and rescue Shen Yunjin as much as possible first.

"It seems that you have already planned your own way out, right?" Ye Cheng asked coldly, "Then just tell me, what exactly do you want?"

Leng Ling replied, "It's very simple, let the government withdraw its troops, and promise not to attack our cottage in the future!"

"You have a good idea!" Ye Cheng scoffed at his request.

If the government was really forced to withdraw troops because of this, then what is the majesty of the government, what is the majesty of the Prince Xiao's mansion, could it be that he is a majestic son and thousands of officers and soldiers can't do anything to a cottage.

"If you want to save Miss Shen, you must withdraw your troops!" Leng Ling's attitude was very firm.

Ye Cheng temporarily left the gate of the cottage, stepped back a few steps, and went to discuss with everyone.

"Brother, what do you think should be done?" Ye Cheng asked Xiao Lanfeng.

Xiao Lanfeng was a little embarrassed, "Saving Miss Shen is the most important thing, but if you withdraw your troops because of this, isn't it just to fuel the arrogance of the bandits, and these bandits are always here to rob, we can't keep them!"

Ye Cheng nodded, "I know, I can't withdraw my troops, but I can't think of any way to have both."

Li Yi's brows were furrowed tightly, "How about withdrawing our troops first, tricking Leng Ling, and after Jin'er is rescued, we'll fight again, what do you think?"

Ye Cheng thought for a while, and said, "Cheating them will damage the reputation of the government, but there is really no reputation to talk about with these bandits. Why don't we just lie to them first, which is a stopgap measure."

So Ye Cheng walked over and said to Leng Ling, "Yes, we agree to your request, as long as you hand over Miss Shen, then we will withdraw our troops."

"Hmph, who are you lying to? Do you think that I handed Miss Shen over to you, and you won't attack?" Leng Ling obviously didn't believe Ye Cheng.

"I have agreed to your proposal, why are you still not satisfied, then what do you want?" Ye Cheng asked.

Leng Ling replied, "I want you to withdraw your troops now. I will hand over Miss Shen only if you withdraw all the officers and soldiers back to the government."

"No!" This Yecheng firmly disagreed, "Once we withdraw our troops, you will backtrack and refuse to let them go, what should we do? I need officers and soldiers to provide protection."
