Then he came to the castle tower again, where Kujo Sara had been waiting for a long time.

Today Li Qiuzhi will go to the front line with her to broker a deal for both parties to reach an agreement!

The task is quite arduous!

"Let's go. If we set out now, we can arrive before noon and start the negotiations in the afternoon. Before the negotiations, you can go and talk to the present-day divine priestess.

"It's better to make her agree to all our peace terms!"

Kujo Sara looked at Li Qiuzhi and said.

"All the conditions, Miss Sara, stop joking, how could I possibly do something like that!"

Li Qiuzhi has already understood the negotiation conditions of both sides and has reached consensus on many basic economic and trade exchanges.

However, many more important aspects are still lacking, such as how much tax should be collected, whether the Haiqi Army should be retained, and infrastructure construction.

All in all, it sounds like it won't be accomplished in a short period of time.

"Then try your best!"

Kujo Sara thought about it and realized that the conditions on the shogunate army's side were indeed more harsh, and it might be a bit difficult for Li Qiuzhi, so he had to just let him do his best.

"That's no problem." Li Qiuzhi nodded in response.

Speaking of which, he has friends on both the Shogunate Army and Haiqi Island, so it would be a little difficult for him to completely side with one side.

At that time, we will have to find a way to persuade both sides to take a step back and see if we can find an opportunity to facilitate peace talks.

Next, Li Qiuzhi and Kujo Sara spread their wings of wind and flew to the front line.

During the flight, Kujo Sara took out a red fan that looked like a maple leaf. According to her, this was a magical item called the Red Feather Fan.

When it is in the hands of Tengu, it can exert various powers. In the hands of ordinary people, it can also make the body lighter and fly faster when flying in the air.

And now, in the hands of Kujo Sara, a man with Tengu blood, its performance is certainly not at the level of an ordinary person.

She just took the red feather fan and waved it gently. In an instant, some kind of power was bestowed on the two of them, which greatly increased their speed!

It was basically the same speed as Li Qiuzhi's after using the wind element to accelerate his flight. No wonder Kujo Sara said that he could reach the front line before noon.

Such a powerful treasure, if collected in the fairyland space, should be able to bring a lot of improvements to the space.

Hmm. Li Qiuzhi thought thoughtfully, he was a little uncertain.

He remembered that in the game the Red Feather Fan was only a small prop of four-star quality, not even five-star, so the improvement it could bring was probably limited.

But now it's in Kujo Sara's hands, and the way he's using it doesn't look like a four-star item. Is there a five-star version?

Forget it. If that is true, then this red feather fan should be Kujo Sara's precious treasure, and he would never give it to others easily.

I can only see if there will be a chance to collect it when my favorability is higher in the future.

Time passed as Li Qiuzhi secretly thought about the nine-striped Sara fan and occasionally talked to her about what to do during the negotiation.

Not long after, the two flew to the front line, which was the Kujo Jinya area.

The last time I calculated that it would take 275,000 to upgrade the ultimate skill to the maximum level, I miscalculated it. I overcalculated 50,000. Oh~ I was too careless!

Chapter 427: Peace Talk (Two in One)

Inazuma, Kujojinya.

This is the front-line base camp of the shogunate army, where later supplies, combat command, etc. are carried out.

"General Kujo!"

The soldiers standing guard at the gate of the shogunate camp saw two people descending from the sky, and one of them was Kujo Sara, so they immediately greeted them.

"Ah."

Kujo Sara responded and took Li Qiuzhi into the camp.

"Ms. Sha Luo, are you going to hold the negotiations here this afternoon? I don't think Miss Coral Palace would risk coming here."

Li Qiuzhi asked curiously while looking at the heavily guarded camp.

“That meticulous military advisor will naturally not come here. Our negotiation location is on the beach where the Nine Formation Houses meet the Taling Sand.

"In order to prevent any accidents, both sides will bring some troops to guard the place."

Kujo Sara explained simply.

"I see."

Li Qiuzhi recalled the negotiation scene between the two armies in the original novel, and it seemed to be true:

"Since the general wants me to talk to you about peace, then Miss Saro, please tell me what conditions the shogunate army can accept."

If he wants to help make peace, he must first know the bottom line of both sides, otherwise it will be difficult to grasp the degree of advance and retreat.

"Well, I'll talk to you in detail later."

Kujo Sara naturally understood this principle, and this is exactly what she was going to do next.

It didn't take long.

The two walked to an Inazuma-style wooden building, which was also guarded by shogunate soldiers.

However, with Nine Sara leading the way, they walked in easily without being stopped.

There is a lot of space inside the building.

There are two large pillars in the middle to support the roof, and some tables and chairs are placed side by side on both sides of the pillars.

At the back, slightly higher up, there is a desk with many documents on it.

Judging from the overall layout, this should be Kujo Sara, the general who commands everything on the front line.

A place like the combat command room where one usually works or discusses action plans with other soldier captains.

But now the two sides have stopped fighting, so there are not as many people here as before.

Kujo Sara walked to the desk at the back and sat down on a chair there.

She took out a prepared document and handed it to Li Qiuzhi, while parting her soft lips and saying:

“This is the specific condition that the shogunate needs Haiqi Island to agree to. You don’t need to read it again since we have already reached a consensus.

"The remaining controversial conditions are the key points that require you to mediate."

"Well, let me take a look first."

Li Qiuzhi nodded and found a chair nearby to sit down. He already had some understanding of the areas where the shogunate and Haiqi Island had disagreements.

Now there is a more detailed description.

First of all, regarding the army of Haiqi Island, the shogunate certainly hopes that Haiqi Island can be disarmed, and then the shogunate army will move in to guard Haiqi Island.

When Li Qiuzhi saw this condition, he knew that Xinhai would not agree to it.

After all, without armed forces, she could not guarantee that the shogunate army would not turn around and attack the people of Haiqi Island.

As a living god priestess, she has to consider various situations.

If it were Li Qiuzhi, he would not agree to such a thing where he could not take the initiative. The worst that could happen was that the stalemate would continue.

Anyway, the "lockdown order" has been lifted, trade has been opened up, and Haiqi Island will not be short of supplies in the short term.

I believe the shogunate also understands this, and proposing such conditions that are basically impossible to accept should be just to lower the other party's psychological expectations.

The other conditions are not too excessive, just to make it easier for Haiqi Island to accept the shogunate.

Li Qiuzhi looked at the second condition on which no consensus was reached.

This condition is related to taxation. After all, Haiqi Island is part of Inazuma, and the relevant policies must be finalized after the peace talks.

Only in this way can the interests of both parties be protected.

Haiqi Island also understands this. In order to enjoy the protection of the shogunate's various economic and trade policies, it naturally has to fulfill the corresponding tax obligations.

Haiqi Island also understands this, but they feel that the tax rate on Haiqi Island is about 5% higher than that of other cities.

This is very unreasonable.

Haiqi Island has already been severely affected economically due to the war, and now they are asked to pay more taxes. Isn't this just rubbing salt into the wound?

Therefore, Haiqi Island did not agree to this condition, and also demanded tax exemption for five or six years to allow them to recuperate.

Normally speaking, the shogunate should collect taxes equally for everyone, and it could be generous enough to exempt them for one or two years. It is indeed inappropriate to raise the tax rate.

After all, this will increase the burden on the residents of Haiqi Island.

I feel that it is also used to lower the psychological expectations of Haiqi Island.

There is also the issue of the management rights of Haiqi Island, and the shogunate wants to get involved. No wonder they haven't reached a consensus for so long.

"Ms. Sara, aren't these conditions too harsh? Normally, no one would agree to them."

Li Qiuzhi felt a little embarrassed. How could he explain such conditions to Xinhai?

"Of course I understand this. After all, if I don't give them a warning in this regard, who knows how much they will ask for!"

Kujo Sara snorted, then continued:

“According to the general, the military advisor of Haiqi Island, Coral Palace Xinhai, is a rare talent.

“Haiqi Island can want autonomy, but not complete autonomy. It can want tax exemptions, but it can’t give too much.”

When Li Qiuzhi heard what Kujo Sara said, he began to understand what the general meant.

In short, Haiqi Island can be autonomous, but it must be under the supervision of the shogunate. Well, it is still reasonable.

"If that's the case, then I should be able to talk to Xin Hai and ask her what she thinks."

Li Qiuzhi held his chin and thought for a moment.

"Before the formal peace talks begin, go and talk to her now."

Kujo Sara folded his hands under his chest and told Li Qiuzhi the location of Haiqi Army's temporary camp in Tadaosha.

"Just leave it to me, I'll do my best."

Li Qiuzhi nodded slightly and said.

"Well, then I'll leave it to you." Kujo Sara expressed his gratitude.

[Kujo Sora has a good impression of you and gains 300 favorability points. The current favorability level is Lv.4 (60/400)]

Li Qiuzhi walked out of the Shogunate Army camp and then looked in the direction of the Haiqi Army camp.

This time he was not going to fly over, but to use the ability of space travel, which came from the divine level skill "The Power of Fluorescence".

After the "Fluorescent Sword God" was promoted to the divine level and gained abilities similar to the power of gods.

Its characteristics are that it can't only be used by the golden sword incarnation with fluorescent appearance.

For example, the previous feature of "space travel" required the use of "Fluorescent Sword God" to summon the incarnation of sword intent and let "her" slash out with sword energy to trigger it.

Now, even if Li Qiuzhi does not summon the incarnation of sword intent, he can still use it easily, and he does not necessarily have to launch an attack.

You can use it on yourself or summon the incarnation of sword intent to achieve silent and invisible space travel on your body, and there is no problem!

There is also a feature like "Thousand Shadows". After his sword skills are upgraded to the divine level, Li Qiuzhi can use it to summon more than one golden sword incarnation.

As long as there is energy support and maintenance, up to one thousand can be summoned!

But now he wants to keep the sword shadow alive, so he can only summon nine at most. Later, using "them" to explore the beast realm will surely be much more efficient.

If you don't care about the duration and just use it for burst attacks, there is no problem summoning ninety-nine "Fluorescent Sword Gods" within half a minute.

There is also the "Sharp Will" feature that can break any defense, and now it can even be used on one's fists.

Li Qiuzhi smiled and temporarily suppressed the idea of ​​imagining various ways to use the divine-level skill "Power of Fluorescence".

He began to use the space travel feature of the "Power of Fluorescence" to rush to Haiqi Island and complete the current task first.

He took a step forward, and then, just like the "Fluorescent Sword God" who had launched a sword attack, he silently sank into the void in front of him and disappeared.

When Li Qiuzhi appeared again, it was as if he could shrink the distance into an inch. He took a step forward and traveled several kilometers away, appearing silently!

The same was done for the second step. When he completed the third step, he had already appeared in front of the Haiqi Army’s camp.

"who!"

The soldiers of the Haiqi Army guarding the camp were shocked when they saw a man suddenly appear out of nowhere in front of them, even though they had strong psychological qualities.
