Chen Hao couldn't help but interrupt and asked what kind of basis would count.

Mo Peng glanced at Chen Hao and said contemptuously: "You are just a boatman."

Qin Tian sneered and retorted: "So what if he's a boatman? He also has the right to speak and is also a patriot."

Mo Peng also suggested that the issue of the ownership of the islands should be resolved by the international community and decided through a referendum.

He thought Qin Tian would be angry about this, but Qin Tian burst into laughter.

"Is this question funny?" Mo Peng asked puzzledly.

Qin Tian restrained his smile and said seriously: "Isn't it funny? The territory of our country actually needs to be decided by a referendum. This is simply a joke."

He further gave an example that if the referendum passed, he could also launch a campaign to incorporate the Lin Kingdom into the Kyushu Empire. Is this reasonable?

Although Mo Peng was well-mannered, he couldn't help but stand up and ask Qin Tian what he meant.

Qin Tian responded calmly that he was just being sarcastic about the unrealistic idea proposed by Mo Peng.

Then, Qin Tian crossed his legs and glanced at everyone present with a sarcastic look.

Mo Peng asked, "Just because you two come here, do you think you can handle us?"

After saying that, he sat down again.

Qin Tian responded fearlessly: "When we got here, we had already put life and death aside. Whatever tricks you have, just use them."

Mo Peng observed Qin Tian's eyes carefully and felt as if countless sharp swords were stabbing at him.

He couldn't help but admire the young man, and at the same time he lamented why there were no such young people in his country.

The fearless temperament exuded by Qin Tian made those killers who were ready to act dare not act rashly.

The scene fell into an awkward silence and no one spoke.

After a while, Mo Peng broke the silence, laughed, and suggested not to discuss this issue today, but to hold a banquet to entertain Qin Tian, ​​the guest who came from afar.

Qin Tian said sarcastically: "Hospitality? It won't be a Hongmen Banquet, right?"

Mo Peng's face darkened and he warned Qin Tian to be careful with his words.

Qin Tian pointed out mercilessly that he had been chased many times along the way, and it was very likely that it was arranged by Mo Peng and his men. Now he was asked to be careful with his words, which was ridiculous.

Mo Peng was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. He didn't expect Qin Tian to speak so mercilessly.

Qin Tian said that he came here today for negotiations, and time was tight, so he didn't want to waste time on irrelevant people. He hoped to complete the negotiations as soon as possible. If adverse consequences were caused by delaying his affairs, Mo Peng and his men would become sinners for all eternity.

Mo Peng angrily accused Qin Tian of going too far and told him not to think that he could do nothing just because he was not afraid of death.

He emphasized that he was a general, and the generals present were also powerful. Negotiations should be conducted with people of equal status. Qin Tian had no power or position, and was not qualified to participate in the negotiations.

Upon hearing this, Qin Tian picked up a trash can and spat directly into it.

He said contemptuously: "I didn't mean to spit, but your words really disgust me. Who do you think you are? Do you still want to negotiate with someone of equal strength? I am already giving you face by allowing me to negotiate with you."

He said that if someone else was to negotiate, they would not be qualified.

Chen Hao was very excited when he heard Qin Tian's words. Qin Tian's words really gave him face.

Qin Tian continued, "I'll give you one more minute to think about it. Do you want to talk or not?"

Mo Peng looked at the other communication personnel. They had no intention of negotiating with Qin Tian.

They also recalled the scene where Qin Tian rescued people before, and he could throw silver needles accurately from such a long distance.

They really weren't sure they could keep Qin Tian here.

As for the boatman named Chen Hao, although they were confident that they could keep him, there was no point in keeping him.

Next, Qin Tian started counting the time, and time passed by little by little.

Finally, the one-minute time was up. Qin Tian asked, "How is it? Is there any result?"

Mo Peng answered firmly: "This island must be ours."

This result seemed to have been expected by Qin Tian. He stood up resolutely and said coldly: "Since the negotiations have been fruitless, there is no need to talk anymore."

He glanced at Chen Hao, who understood what he meant and prepared to follow him. Although the generals present hoped that Mo Peng could keep Qin Tian, ​​Mo Peng shook his head helplessly, indicating that he was not completely sure.

The hidden killers also felt the tense atmosphere, and there was a sense of oppression in the air. However, Qin Tian walked out calmly, as if everything was under his control.

When they were about to reach the gate, Qin Tian's voice came clearly, with a hint of threat: "Mo Peng, you seem to want Lin Country to fall into chaos, so don't blame me for being rude."

Although the distance was far, his voice seemed to be very close, making Mo Peng shiver involuntarily.

Chen Hao looked at Qin Tian and sighed, "It seems that our trip was in vain." Qin Tian smiled calmly, "How can it be in vain? Although the result is known, this is a necessary procedure."

Afterwards, they returned to the cave and continued their lives.

Soon, Xie Jin called and asked about the results of the negotiations. After learning about the situation, she was not surprised, but said that Jiuzhou Empire needed to be prepared.

She told Qin Tian that there were already planes heading to Lin Country to drop food, and the pilots were carefully selected to deal with possible bombing threats. Fortunately, the airdrop went smoothly without any accidents.

On the other side, Tang Ying was about to be discharged from the hospital, and she called Qin Tian to report that she was safe. Qin Tian felt relieved when he learned that Shen Long would escort her, and told her to pay attention to Zhu Mingyue's movements after returning.

Tang Ying agreed, and when Shen Long escorted her back to school, it was already late at night. The school gate was closed, so they had to find a hotel nearby.

However, the hotel was almost full, with only one room left. Tang Ying felt that this was not right and insisted on finding another place. But the receptionist told them that the situation in the nearby hotels was similar and suggested that they just make do with it.

Tang Ying had no choice but to check into the same room with Shen Long. In order to allay her concerns, Shen Long offered to sleep on the floor and promised not to violate her.

Despite this, Tang Ying still felt a little uncomfortable. She sent Qin Tian a message to explain the situation. She didn't expect him to reply, but she didn't expect Qin Tian to be still awake.

Qin Tian was very worried when he heard the news, fearing that Shen Long would harm Tang Ying. He quickly taught Tang Ying some self-defense skills, but Tang Ying was still a little uneasy.

Shen Long, who was sleeping on the floor, noticed Tang Ying's anxiety and suggested sleeping in the corridor and guarding the door. Tang Ying felt a little relieved after hearing this.

The next morning, Tang Ying opened the door and saw Shen Long sleeping at the door. He was touched. After Shen Long woke up, they said goodbye.

After Tang Ying returned to school, she developed a strong interest in Shen Long. She felt that Shen Long was a boy she could trust for life, and she couldn't help but start comparing him with Qin Tian.

Although she knew that Qin Tian was very good, she also understood that Qin Tian might not like her. And developing a relationship with Shen Long seemed more likely.

She hoped that her guess was wrong, but deep down she couldn't help but have more expectations of Shen Long.

She was unwilling to admit that Zhu Mingyue had a problem, after all, they were good friends who could talk about anything. She thought she understood human nature, but she also realized that she was simple and naive in the past, and that she had given everything without reservation, but she might not have received a sincere response.

After returning to school, she was depressed and found it difficult to calm down.

As for Qin Tian, ​​life gradually returned to normal a few days after the incident. Until one day, the hospital called to inform that the Wu brothers had woken up. Wu Yingjun also called Qin Tian in person and told him about his communication with his brother in the hospital. He insisted that he did not own any antiques, and his brother's behavior was completely influenced by his wife and brother-in-law. He had severely reprimanded his brother and made him realize his mistakes.

Wu Yingjun felt guilty about Qin Tian's failure to participate in the negotiations, but Qin Tian comforted him and told him not to blame himself because even if he had gone, the result would not have been different. However, Wu Yingjun was still indignant and wanted to go to Lin Guoren in person to argue. Chen Hao tried to dissuade him, but Qin Tian told him to calm down.

"What will happen if you go?" Qin Tian looked at Wu Yingjun sternly. "If you die, I will collect your body and apply for a pension from the state. But this is not the result we want."

Wu Yingjun realized his impulsiveness and apologized to Qin Tian. Qin Tian encouraged him to remain passionate, but also to act rationally. They discussed the current situation. Although the war has not yet broken out, the movements of the Lin Kingdom are still worrying. They must remain highly vigilant and be ready to deal with possible conflicts at any time.

Later, Xie Jin called. She hoped to keep in close contact with Qin Tian and expressed her desire to share the joys and sorrows with him. However, the organization did not agree to her request. Qin Tian comforted her and said that he understood her feelings, but her identity was special and she needed to return to work.

Soon after she hung up the phone, Xie Jin received another call from the organization. The organization asked her to return to her workplace immediately and not stay at the border any longer. Although Xie Jin was reluctant to leave, the other party told her that her parents had disappeared.

Xie Jin's heart tightened. She knew the organization would not play such a joke. She quickly called her parents, but found that the call could not be connected. She was filled with anxiety and fear. Could it be that her parents really met with an accident?

At this time, the chief called again. He reminded Xie Jin not to tell Qin Tian about this, because this was a request from the people who kidnapped her parents. Xie Jin felt her scalp tingling, and she realized the seriousness of the situation. It was no longer a simple disappearance, but a kidnapping.

Xie Jin was struck by lightning, and a bad feeling welled up in her heart. Could it be that Qin Tian had something to do with her parents' kidnapping? Was it to force her to deal with Qin Tian? The officer's words echoed in her ears, reminding her of this possibility and warning her not to contact Qin Tian rashly, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

The officer's voice was filled with helplessness: "Xie Jin, I also cannot stand such despicable means, but for the sake of your parents, we must endure it temporarily."

Xie Jin was in a state of confusion, with tears welling up in her eyes. She tried to calm herself down and responded to her superior: "I heard it, sir. I will be careful and will not contact Qin Tian."

After hanging up the phone, her heavy mood did not lighten. Although she knew she should stay calm, she could not remain indifferent to the safety of her parents. After a mental struggle, she decided to call Qin Tian, ​​but not to tell him the truth, but to find a reasonable excuse to leave.

Qin Tian's voice sounded on the other end of the phone, and he didn't seem to notice Xie Jin's abnormality. Xie Jin deliberately said in a relaxed tone: "There are some things in the organization that I need to go back to deal with. I may have to leave for a while."

Qin Tian said jokingly: "You should go back. This place is desolate and remote. There is no need for a girl like you to stay here. Besides, it doesn't matter whether you are here or not."

Xie Jin was overwhelmed with emotion when she heard this. She said angrily, "You are so heartless! I moved here because I was worried about you, and you actually said that to me!"

Qin Tian laughed loudly on the other end of the phone, but Xie Jin felt that his laughter was somewhat ironic. She tried to hold back her tears and said in a strong voice, "Although I'm back, I will always pay attention to your affairs. We'll contact each other when we have time."

"Okay, I wish you a safe journey." Qin Tian's voice remained calm.

After hanging up the phone, Xie Jin felt empty. She knew that her performance was successful and Qin Tian didn't notice anything unusual. But she also knew that she was facing an unprecedented predicament.

On the plane to the destination, Xie Jin was still in a heavy mood. She kept trying to call her parents, even though she knew the call would not go through. But every time she heard the busy tone, her heart would sink to the bottom again.

She looked at the laughing passengers around her and felt lonely and helpless. She once longed for her own youth and a good life, but reality pushed her to another path.

She thought of Qin Tian, ​​and a complex emotion surged in her heart. She knew that Qin Tian was also fighting for the interests of the Jiuzhou Empire, but she could not share her plight and pain with him.

After the plane took off, she closed her eyes and silently prayed for her parents' safety. She silently asked herself in her heart: "Qin Tian, ​​can I really hold on?"

At this moment, she needed a strong arm to lean on, but she was surrounded by strangers. She felt unprecedented loneliness and helplessness, but she also understood that she had to face it all with strength.

At the same time, Qin Tian and Wu Yingjun in the cave were also talking about Xie Jin's departure. Wu Yingjun asked worriedly, "Is Xie Jin's departure related to the upcoming war?"

Qin Tian shook his head: "I don't know the specific situation, but we can't just speculate on the official intentions. We just need to do what we should do." (End of this chapter)
