Extraordinary Profession: I Awakened Lord

Chapter 61 Negotiations
06:30 in the afternoon.

Barya City, Duke of Illuk's Palace.

In a graceful hall, an old man with an old face but sharp eyes was sitting upright. He glanced at Cao Xian with disdain and asked:

"You are, Little Caesar, oh! No! Now it's time to say Yin Zhao. What a strange name. Tell me! Why are you looking for me?"

Listening to the old man's sarcastic voice, Cao Xian did not react superfluously, but said with the same disdain:
"It's for your grandson who is a thief, Baron Reuven!"

"Oh!"

Duke Iluk immediately slapped the table, stood up abruptly, looked at Cao Xian with gloomy eyes, and said coldly:

"Cao Xian, right? You have to speak before your head. Nobles are not allowed to criticize. Today, I can let you go for Little Caesar's sake! Don't make a mistake!"

"I didn't make a mistake! I don't need you to spare my life for the sake of my family. What I said is just the truth!"

Cao Xian was not intimidated by Duke Yiluq, but retorted firmly.

"Presumptuous! Someone is coming!"

As Duke Yiluk shouted, a dozen soldiers with weapons rushed to the door. They raised their swords and surrounded Cao Xian.

But Cao Xian's expression didn't change at all, and he didn't seem to be afraid of this. He looked at Duke Iruk calmly, and his tone was even more forceful,

"Your Majesty, regarding Baron Reuven, I think it's best not to let too many people know about it!"

After speaking, Cao Xian remained silent.

But Duke Iluk's complexion quickly darkened. As the Duke of the Frankish Kingdom, he was actually threatened by a servant.

And he can still avoid killing him because Cao Xian now represents Yin Zhao and is Yin Zhao's face. If he kills Cao Xian, Yin Zhao will definitely take revenge on him. He is not afraid of Yin Zhao's revenge. He is afraid of this. The matter was exposed, which attracted the attention of the old king.

When he threatened Cao Xian just now, he was preparing to lower the price.After all, being able to come to discuss means that this matter can be yes or no, yes!It means that if the benefits are not enough, if the benefits are enough, then they will naturally disappear.

The result was unexpected.It's true that Cao Xian is a servant without noble status!In the eyes of nobles, there are only two types of people, one is nobles of the same level, and the other is servants without noble status.

What courage and courage!I didn’t expect that little bastard Little Caesar to have such subordinates!It's a pity, it's just a servant. Duke Iruk originally had the idea of ​​recruiting Cao Xian, but when he thought that Cao Xian was just a servant, his thoughts disappeared immediately.

"Get out!"

"Yes, Lord Duke!"

Following Duke Iruk's voice of "Let's go", the dozen or so soldiers with weapons put away their weapons one after another, and then walked out of the hall in an orderly manner.

They are indeed the private soldiers of Duke Iruk, they are really elite.

From Cao Xian's point of view, he felt that these dozen or so soldiers were no less than his own four-star troops.However, he can also understand, after all, how bad can the soldiers who guard their own safety be?
"Tell me, what are the conditions!"

Duke Iruk drank the wine and asked casually without looking at Cao Xian.

Cao Xian did not appear angry at Duke Iruk's contempt, but replied with a faint smile:

"My lord, you want one hundred thousand silver coins, and fifteen thousand serfs must be young and middle-aged, as well as food, fine gold, and mithril..."

"Pfft."

Duke Iruk spat out the wine in his mouth. He looked at Cao Xian in disbelief, and then interrupted his words.

"Little Caesar, if you are really not sincere, then kill Reuven!"

The Duke was obviously angry and actually wanted Yin Zhao to kill his most beloved grandson.However, no matter who this condition is placed on, everyone will be angry.

Although the asking price is sky-high, you will pay back the money when you land.But your price is too outrageous. You must know that even if Luwen is loved by Duke Iruk, he is essentially just a baron. You can raise the price, but you cannot ask for excessive prices.

After Cao Xian thought for a while, he considered and said:

"The [-] silver coins, [-] serfs, as well as grain, fine gold, mithril..."

"Okay! Ten thousand silver coins, seven thousand serfs, but I can give you four thousand young adults. As for food, fine gold, and mithril, these are impossible."

Duke Iluke didn't want to listen to Cao Xian's speech at all, so he interrupted his words with a temper, and then categorically gave what he could give.

Looking at the tough-minded Duke of Iruk, Cao Xian smiled lightly and said:

"But fine gold, mithril, dark steel, and blue sky iron are all what my Lord needs."

"impossible!"

Duke Iruk snorted coldly, and then glared at Cao Xian with murderous eyes, as if as long as a word came out of his mouth, he would definitely die without a burial place.

However, Cao Xian did not close his mouth in fear as Duke Iruk thought.Instead, he still looked calm, his face was as calm as a lake, and he said with a smile:

"Baron Luwen not only snatched my lord's treasure privately, but also ordered the killing of my lord's soldiers. Most importantly, he didn't take into account the dignity among the nobles. Not only did he ridicule and insult my lord, but he was also lustful... ...By the way, I remembered, he secretly wooed my lord, asked my lord to join him, and then..."

Having said this, Cao Xian paused for a moment, and glanced at Duke Iruk with a smile in his eyes.

"Okay! Don't say any more! How much, just say a number!"

As Cao Xian revealed Baron Luwen's follies one by one, Duke Iruk's face became more and more gloomy. Until he heard Cao Xian's last sentence, Duke Iruk's face instantly turned pale. Wiping the cold sweat off his forehead, he finally sighed helplessly.

Duke Iluk originally thought that idiot Lu Wen just robbed that bastard Yin Zhao of his treasure. Although he robbed a nobleman, Lu Wen was also a nobleman after all, so this kind of thing can at most be compensated, it’s a big deal Don't give up on this reputation.

But what Cao Xian said later made him angrier the more he listened to it, mocking and insulting Yin Zhao?Forget it, are you still lustful?This bastard!Although everyone is playing now, but the rules of the nobility still have to be followed?Isn’t this cutting yourself off from the aristocratic circle?

Duke Iruk was very angry. Of course, if it were just these things, then the compensation mentioned before would be enough, but Cao Xian's last words directly frightened Duke Iruk.

"That bastard! You actually said such key information, you idiot! Don't you know how to test others first?"

Duke Iluk is both angry and helpless!But after all, it was his son who had no choice but to swallow this bitter pill in frustration.

Cao Xian thought for a moment, then smiled and spit out a string of numbers.

"Adamantine 2000, Mithril 3000, Ming Steel 6000, Azure Sky Iron 12000."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Duke Iruk's originally pale face instantly turned red. He pointed at Cao Xian and roared angrily.This is no longer cutting meat, this is killing fat pigs to celebrate the New Year.

"Adamantine 800, Mithril 1300, Ming Steel 2000, Azure Sky Iron 6000."

Looking at Cao Xian who still wanted to speak, Duke Iruk no longer cared about the dignity of the nobles. He pointed at Cao Xian and said:

"Stop talking! Just this number, or you kill Lu Wen! I won't admit it!"

"But the gap between this and the number set by my family is too big. I can't go back and report it!"

Cao Xian said with an embarrassed look.But Duke Iruk didn't believe what he said at all, fart!fart!It's all farts!Little Caesar is a good-natured child, how could he open his mouth like a lion?

In the memory fabricated by the Noble Medal of Honor, Little Caesar is also Yin Zhao, a good-natured, loyal and reliable child. Otherwise, how could the black hands behind the scenes keep him alive, and why did the old king decide to support Yin Zhao?Wasn't it that he, Yin, had been "honest and lovely since childhood"?
"Do you really want to destroy the fish and the net?"

Duke Iruk glared at Cao Xian and asked through gritted teeth.

"Ah...this..."

"Forget it, 1000 fine gold, 1500 mithril, 3000 dark steel, and the blue sky iron remains unchanged, 6000! How about it?"

Seeing Cao Xian gritted his teeth, Duke Iruk took a deep breath. He looked at Cao Xian calmly and said with a sneer:

"Very good! You are fine! I hope Little Caesar can always protect you!"

Cao Xian smiled slightly and replied:

"Thank you for your praise. My family will always protect me!"

"Hmph! That's...okay!"

"When will the person be released?"

Cao Xian glanced at Duke Iruk, whose face was twitching, and said calmly:
"When the goods arrive at Chaoge, people will naturally let them go! Then you can send troops and follow us back to Chaoge. When the goods arrive at the warehouse, your troops can naturally pick up Master Lu Wen!"

Duke Iruk closed his eyes and pondered for a while before slowly speaking:
"Ok!"

"You can go back tomorrow morning!"

"Now, get out of the Duke's Mansion!"

Duke Iruk said he doesn’t want to see you anymore.Cao Xian, on the other hand, smiled lightly, bowed, and then exited the hall.Soon, Cao Xian left the Duke's Mansion.

On the side of the road, looking at the brightly lit Duke's mansion, Cao Xian wiped the sweat from his forehead. Just now he was not afraid on the surface, but he was already scolding miserably in his heart.

He sincerely hoped that this kind of thing would not happen again.

"It's okay!"

Louis came out of a corner, looked at the weak Cao Xian, and quickly asked with concern.

"Why are you here? I'm fine!"

Cao Xian took several deep breaths before calming down his emotions.

"What are you thinking? I am the deputy envoy, and I want to protect your personal safety. Can I not worry about you coming to the Duke's Mansion alone? If you don't come out, I will blow up the Duke's Mansion. "

Lewis explained with a smile.Cao Xian glanced at Louis excitedly, and then the two of them returned together.
