From Douluo Dalu to Queen

Chapter 375 Four-Party Talks
The two Titled Douluo, Bing and Xue, standing by were also well-known figures in the Northern Province. However, it was undoubtedly a dream for them to want to keep Leng Xiyao.

After everyone sat down, Ye Ling left, leaving only two maids to serve them.

"Where is Governor Luo?" Leng Xiyao looked at the empty main seat, somewhat puzzled.

You invited her so actively, now you're planning to show her your power?
As soon as the voice fell, the door of the banquet hall opened, and a young man walked in slowly, saying apologetically: "I'm sorry, some things delayed me. I hope I didn't affect Miss Leng's interest."

The person who came was naturally Luo Yuanji. Leng Xiyao had known for a long time that this generation of governor was very young, but when she really saw him, she couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Two elders, please go down first." Seeing that Luo Yuanji came to the banquet alone, Leng Xiyao waved her hand and said to Bingxue and the others beside her.

This is not only a matter of etiquette, but also a matter of magnanimity. In such a close meeting, the other party was confident and bold enough to come alone. If she still insisted on letting Bingxue and the others stay, she would lose in momentum.

Bingxue and the others were naturally worried, but seeing that Leng Xiyao was determined to do so, they had no choice but to retreat.

Naturally, there were other people to receive them after they left the banquet hall, so they were not treated with disrespect.

As a result, there were only seven people left in the huge banquet hall, two of whom were maids. There was no extra person at all.

As if he was worried that Leng Xiyao might overthink it, Luo Yuanji added, "These two are slaves specially trained by my Governor's Office to receive guests. Miss Leng, don't worry. If you are worried that they have hidden weapons, you can kill them now."

Leng Xiyao felt a chill when hearing these words. The young man in front of her looked like an ordinary boy next door, but the words he said were so horrifying, as if those were not two lives but just two insects that were not worth mentioning.

Oh, maybe these two lives are no longer vibrant, having lost their interesting souls, and are no different from robots.

"No need. I believe that Governor Luo is not that kind of villain. In other words, if I was worried that this was your conspiracy, I would not have come." Leng Xiyao spread her hands: "Compared to this, can we have dinner? Speaking of which, I haven't had a decent meal since I came to the Northern Province."

"Of course, of course." Luo Yuanji said with a smile, and then started eating first. Seeing this, An Yue and Qing Gang on the side naturally followed suit and started eating, even though they were not hungry.

The two of them came here just to go through the formalities. Needless to say, Dark Moon was Luo Yuanji's man, and the Fearless Alliance had actually been controlled by the Governor's Office. As a force that divided power among the top leaders and did not have a leader who could control the overall situation, it was only a matter of time before it was annexed.

The reason why the Fearless Alliance still exists is just that Luo Yuanji wants to throw a smokescreen to make other major forces in Douluo Continent think that the Governor's Office is only one of the three strongest forces in the Northern Province, rather than a huge existence that almost unified the Northern Province.

Looking at Leng Xiyao, who was eating with big mouthfuls and had no image at all, Luo Yuanji felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

Could people of their level possibly be short of such a bite of food? Obviously not. Even if they were just his thugs, they wouldn't be so vulgar for such a bite of food, let alone a respectable person like Leng Xiyao who had seen more of the world than him.

It only means that she is expressing her ambition in this way, telling him that her appetite cannot be easily satisfied.

Feeling Luo Yuanji's gaze, Leng Xiyao looked up in confusion, then raised her hand to take a plate of steak and continued eating.

God have mercy on her, she hasn't had a good meal for a long time. In order to hurry on her way to the northern province, she just ate some dry food and dried meat. After arriving at Jibing City, she went straight to the Far North. Now seeing this extremely rich delicacy, she really couldn't help herself.

Nishizumi Miho, on the other hand, was very elegant. She ate her food in small bites, and it was obvious that she was a lady from a prominent family.

I just don't know why she has no soul power at all. It is really unbelievable that a person of Leng Xiyao's level brings a mortal female companion with her.

After eating and drinking, the two maids quickly cleared the tableware and brought a map. Luo Yuanji slowly said, "Miss Leng, I believe you also know why I invited you here this time. You are someone who can make the Spirit Hall and even the Elder Hall make concessions. For us local 'natives', you are undoubtedly a dragon crossing the river. We have no intention of conflicting with you. Therefore, if you need to settle down in the northern province, we are willing to give up some territory and interests."

As he spoke, Luo Yuanji glanced at An Yue and Qing Gang beside him, and the two of them nodded quickly.

"Of course, this is the environment here. The slave trade is also our biggest source of income. I know that civilized people like you who come from the interior are dissatisfied with this, but this cannot be changed. I hope you understand."

After hearing this, Leng Xiyao said calmly: "Of course I know this, but you must also know that I am engaged in arms trading, and I also need to carry out research and development work. However, I am very uneasy under the nose of Emperor Tiandou, so I thought about looking for a relatively free and chaotic land. If I can make the Spirit Hall cede land and pay compensation to me, then I must have the strength to plunder the land here."

"The land I need won't be too small. I will probably have several thousand people relocating here, and I will also recruit a large number of slaves and craftsmen to work for me. At the same time, in order to ensure security and foreign trade, armed guards are also indispensable. In other words, I still need land to build factories and military camps, as well as a lot of houses to accommodate them."

As she spoke, Leng Xiyao looked at the map on the table, but did not continue.

Luo Yuanji knew that Leng Xiyao wanted to test his sincerity, so he didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "Yes, of course. I believe Palace Master Li has already told you that all the land in the northern province belongs to our three forces. The same is true for Jibing City. There seem to be many forces in the city, but in fact, each of them has to pay us land use fees and trade taxes. They fight to the death, and it has nothing to do with us. Only when you pay less will the guards of the Governor's Office come to collect the money."

"Most of these people are evildoers who have fled from outside. It is difficult for us to expel them now."
