Lu Qingxi was not concerned about this obviously sarcasm. He stared at Tianhao for half a minute before reaching out to pick up a bowl and serving the chicken soup in the pot.

The taste is really good and delicious. In addition to the chopped chicken, there are also some mushrooms in the soup. He can taste the taste of a fanged pig, but he didn't see the meat of this thick-skinned beast in the soup. I think it was just added some oil to season.

After walking outside in such a cold weather for a day, no one would refuse a bowl of hot and delicious chicken soup.

"You are a cunning person. I have to be careful with you." Lu Qingxi slowly drank the soup, and his eyes showed instinctive alert.

Looking at the exquisitely crafted cotton jacket with beautiful patterns on him, Tianhao said calmly: "You seem to have forgotten that I helped you sit in your current position. Without me, you would never have been the king of the stag."

"How can you forget this kind of thing?" Lu Qingxi smiled bitterly and shook his head. He felt the warmth from the flames in front of him, and slowly shook the small half bowl of chicken soup held in his hand: "We are good collaborators, you are a smart person, you know very well that I will not be enemies of you."

"Cooperator?" Tianhao smiled and pretended to be surprised: "Aren't we friends?"

"No." Lu Qingxi was very sure of this. He opened his mouth, but hesitated while blurting out the words, and then carefully said word by word: "I mean, we... I, I can't be your friends yet."

"Why?" Tianhao stared at him with his dark eyes.

"I don't have as good abilities as you." A trace of sincerity rose on Lu Qingxi's long and narrow face: "From Panshi Village to Panshi City, to later lords, and now the clan leader, the achievements you have made dazzled me and feel inferior to those of you. Although we are the same as our patriarchs now, the Muluo tribe is not as strong as the Leiniu tribe. Without equal power, you cannot be friends, so I can only cooperate with you."

Tianhao was a little surprised, but he did not show it on his face.

Compared to the first time we met a few years ago, Lu Qingxi has reached several levels in both speech and performance. The impact and transformation effect of being in the high position of the patriarch on a person can be seen from this. He has less arrogance and learned to think calmly on different occasions, and control his inner desires and emotions well... Haha, he no longer said words like "we are friends", but used the word "cooperation" as a substitute.

Lu Qingxi tilted his neck and drank the soup in the bowl and put it down smoothly. He looked at Tianhao sitting opposite him and asked seriously: "Tell me, why did you ask me over?"

He is now the king of the clan, and it is difficult for him to leave Mulu City without attracting others' attention. But even so, as soon as he received Tianhao's secret letter, Lu Qingxi immediately began to make comprehensive arrangements. He found a substitute and walked with a few elite guards at night, quietly crossing the border without any rest, and arrived at the Niu tribe territory.

He had an instinctive fear of Tianhao.

This man knew all his secrets. Especially how to get to power, from the prince who inherited the position, he became the king of the hart. Tianhao's tentacles penetrated all aspects of Lu Qingxi, including every detail of daily life. Although this was a secret exchange of interests between the two people, Lu Qingxi turned a blind eye to the repeated annexation of Lu villages in Panshi City, he always had a fear of Tianhao, feeling that this man was at any time and even vaguely controlling his soul.

He knew my plot.

He knew how I killed my brother.

He knew I killed my father.

Now, he wants to use my hands to engage in some evil and terrible act?

Tianhao's expression was as usual, and the flames shone on his handsome face, with a soft light: "You are a smart person, and the position of a mere stag king does not match your strength. I think you can go further and become the highest king who truly controls the entire deer clan."

"...what did you say?" On the way here, Lu Qingxi thought about the real reason why Tianhao invited him to meet countless times, but he never thought that he would say such a thing. It was incredible: "The King of the entire Deer Clan?"

"Yes." There was no joke on Tianhao's serious face: "I can help you become the king of the deer tribe, a Majesty who must kneel down to worship all the heads of the deer tribes."

The muscles on Lu Qingxi's face kept twitching, and his hands were trembling slightly uncontrollably. The cold wind was howling outside the house, like a ghost, but he couldn't hear anything. He only had the four words "King of the Deer Clan" in his mind that were hitting wildly, and he bit them like a beast.

"...you... are you sure?" After a long time, he asked in a trembling voice.

Tianhao spread his hands easily, his smile as sunny as it was, making people feel that there was no conspiracy in it: "Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have asked you here to talk."

"What do you want?" Although it was a test, Lu Qingxi understood that this was the beginning of bargaining with each other.

"I'm glad you thought of this first. It shows that you still have a clear mind, not the kind of guy who is so charmed by a little benefit that he doesn't know what he is doing... Very well, this is the basis for fair cooperation between us." Tianhao's smile was extremely charming and infectious: "Then, I'll talk about my price."

"There are 1.5 million people in the Deer clan. After you ascend the throne, no matter what method you use, I want one-third." Tianhao said lightly, as if the topic was about 500,000 ants.

“…Are you kidding?”

Lu Qingxi was not angry. He knew that he could only smile bitterly now. The practice of standing up and leaving in anger was completely unsuitable for him, and it would cause extremely serious consequences: "Five hundred thousand people... are too many."

"The Hart tribe has only 300,000 people, which is still a long time ago. From the last war to the present, the Hart tribe has only 200,000 people. I know you have a heavy responsibility, and many of your commanders are shouting to start a war with me. However, they don't know the relationship between us... Well, my friend, I think it's still friends between us, not simple cooperation. I have been helping you. As long as you become the king of the Deer tribe, you can solve all the troubles at once."

Tianhao's smile was full of male charm. He was very satisfied with Lu Qingxi's performance: he did not refuse on the spot, nor was he angry. Everything showed that he was moved. It was normal for bargaining. As long as it was not a serious conflict from the bottom of his heart, it showed that there was a possibility of cooperation between the two sides.

What's more, the bait he threw out was full of fragrance, and Lu Qingxi could not resist it at all.

"What do you mean is that those who help me solve the problem are within 500,000?" Lu Qingxi understood Tianhao's subtext.

"It can be said that." Tianhao's answer was ambiguous. Only he himself knew how many components were actually confirmed.

"Let's talk about your plan first!" Lu Qingxi was not so easy to be fooled: "There is not a single word yet, so it's too early to talk about the benefits of sharing the benefits from it."

Tianhao took out a bound document from under the table and handed it over from the flame and soup pot: "This is a plan that was formulated last month, and all the details are impeccable. As long as you want, just sign it."

signature?

This word was a little unfamiliar to Lu Qingxi. He glanced at Tianhao suspiciously, reached out to take the document, and opened the blank cover with expectation and alert. After less than five minutes of looking at it, he suddenly raised his head, and his eyes released extreme shock, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

"...you...can you do this?" His voice became a little hoarse, and excitement and wildness were quickly dominating his emotions.

Tianhao nodded calmly, picked up the tongs, picked up a piece of honeycomb peat and stuffed it into the fire, saying meaningfully: "I never do something I'm not sure about."

"You are a real devil." Lu Qingxi had never felt a strong sense of fear of Tianhao as he is now. He murmured to himself: "If there are really devils in this world, you must be the best among them, even the Demon King himself."

"Thank you for your compliment." Tianhao was unmoved, he seemed a little lazy: "Continue reading. I don't have much time, so do you. At most, you have to leave in the second half of the night."

Lu Qingxi has always thought he was extremely intelligent. Although he used the help of outsiders to kill his father and brother, if he had not done his own hard work and meticulous planning, he would not have become the king of the hart now. He was good at analyzing, knowing how to make choices, and getting the greatest benefits from it... However, in front of this top-secret document with only a few pages of paper, he felt that everything he was proud of had lost its effect and seemed so pale, just like a child playing cleverness in front of an 80-year-old wise man, thinking he was able to make plans, but he had long seen through it. However, the other party did not expose it and ignored everything with a game-watching attitude.

Looking at the words on the document, Lu Qingxi clenched his fists secretly. His fierce brain thinking prompted the blood vessels to surge and protrude on both sides of his forehead. He was so excited that he couldn't control his emotions, but he tried hard not to show it in front of Tianhao. Everyone is the king of the tribe, and once the plan is implemented, his identity will be immediately promoted to His Majesty of the clan... What is the difference between this and a step to reach the sky?

Through the burning fire, Tianhao sent over a light sentence: "How about it, there are not many 500,000 people, right?"

Lu Qingxi felt that the weight of this words was extremely heavy, as if it was pressing against the mountain in his heart. He raised his head, swallowed his throat hard, and said with difficulty: "Can you lose a little? Well... 400,000... 450,000... What do you think?"

Tian Hao sat upright, his eagle looked at the wolf, and the cold eyes released from the depths of his eyes were full of deterrence: "I always thought you were a determined and courageous person. I didn't expect you to delay in such a thing... You think clearly that this plan has time limits, and this is the best opportunity at present. Haha, do you think I will give in? Do you think there will be the same opportunity in the future?"

Lu Qingxi fell into silence, his face turned pale and he didn't say a word.

Tianhao turned a blind eye to his performance, neither angry nor angry, his tone was calm, clear and orderly: "It is actually very good to use one-third of the population to exchange a throne. You have to understand that this world is not static. Now I can agree to your price, even if there is the same opportunity in the future, it is definitely not the current number."

"In a few years, I will want more. Six hundred thousand, seven hundred thousand, or even one million..." Tianhao's tone was as cold as his face: "You have to understand that women can give birth to children. I just book the children they should give birth to in the next few years."

Lu Qingxi raised his head, looking a little hesitant, and a little firm: "You are too greedy. I think we can discuss it. In fact, 450,000 is already..."

"No! This is impossible! I will never agree!" Tianhao refused the other party's suggestion. He stared at the opposite side with a fierce wolf-like eyes: "I have already said, don't bargain with me. This is the last warning. By the way, you don't have the qualifications."

Lu Qingxi's heart trembled again.

He noticed that Tianhao used the word "I".

This means that there is a difference in the identities between the two people. They are also the kings of tribes, but they are different from each other due to their differences in strength. This is not surprising, not to mention that they still have a lot of secrets in the hands of each other.

If you think about it carefully, it is actually no big deal if you hand over 500,000 people. At least you have become the Majesty of the Deer Clan. If Lu Qingxi has thought about all possibilities, with his own skills and strength, he should be able to integrate all tribes well. At that time, with the strong strength of one million people in the Deer Clan, plus the support from other tribes such as the Tiger Clan, the Lion Clan, it should be no difficulty to kill a mere Thunder Clan.

It's just an idea.

The key point is still on the plan itself. If I hadn't seen this document with my own eyes, Lu Qingxi would not have agreed to the price proposed by Tianhao no matter what.

This is very operational and has a chance of success of up to 90%.

After thinking about every detail thoroughly, Lu Qingxi supported his knees with both hands and stood up. He stared at Tianhao with extremely complicated eyes: "You...really treat me as a friend?"

Tianhao put away his serious and cold expression, and released his gentle and kind smile on his face again. He walked around in front of the fire pit, walked to Lu Qingxi, opened his arms, and gave the other party a strong and powerful hug.

"You have to review your own ideas. I have been your strong backing from the beginning. Think about it, I have helped you solve so many troubles, but in the end, you question the friendship between you and me."

"We are friends, even close brothers. Never doubt this."

When he let go of his arms, Lu Qingxi could no longer see any suspicion in his eyes. He was also smiling, and his smile was even sweeter than Tianhao.
