Chapter 318
"Hmm? The negotiations have already begun. Are you still going to stop me? I am the head of the Demacia caravan!"
A stern voice suddenly came from outside the negotiation hall.
At this time, Ashe was representing the Avarosa tribe and fiercely confronting Kentak, who represented the caravan. Both sides were constantly bargaining and refused to give in.
The sound of the voice made the atmosphere full of gunpowder pause.
Accompanied by a burst of confident footsteps, Viscount Jincheng strode towards the negotiation hall alone.
His steps were firm and powerful. Several guards guarding the door looked at each other and followed Jincheng into the hall helplessly.
Ashe was already uncomfortable dealing with cunning businessmen, not to mention that the price issues involved in this negotiation made her dizzy.
If the tribe really had enough mineral resources, she might grit her teeth and make an exchange.
After all, food is an absolutely indispensable material for the tribe.
However, the reality is cruel. Even if the entire Avarosa tribe is turned upside down, Ashe cannot gather the wealth needed to buy half of the food.
But Kentak acted superior and said that it was up to you to buy or not.
But Ashe knew that these things were of great significance to the tribe and she must not give up buying them.
But she couldn't negotiate the price at the moment, and she didn't know what to do for a while, and the situation was deadlocked.
Just then, a familiar sound of footsteps came from outside the hall.
Everyone turned their heads and saw Jincheng walking slowly with a smile on his face and elegant steps.
Seeing this, Ashe quickly raised her hand and signaled to the guards who followed in: "Okay, you go out first!"
"Master Jincheng! You are finally here!"
As soon as Kentak saw Jincheng, he couldn't wait to stand up from the main negotiation seat and greeted him respectfully.
Then, he very consciously sat on a chair next to him and gave the main seat to Jincheng.
"Where have you been? You're finally back. I never thought that you would prepare such a big 'surprise' for me here!"
When Shyvana saw Jincheng, a happy smile appeared on her face.
She waited for Jincheng to come to her side and greeted him, and at the same time intentionally or unintentionally revealed Jincheng's little abacus.
"Hmm? So everyone is here! I just checked the supplies that were transported, Shyvana, this time thanks to you, things can be done so smoothly!"
Jincheng responded lightly, as if he had expected the situation in front of him.
After that, Jincheng turned his eyes away from Shyvana, and then looked at Ashe involuntarily.
At this moment, he noticed that Ashe was staring at him straight, and this sudden eye contact made Jincheng feel a little embarrassed.
As if she had noticed Jin Cheng's predicament, Shyvana quickly came to the rescue and said:
"Okay! Don't stand there stupidly, come and sit down quickly, after all, it was you who proposed to support trade with Freljord!"
"Oh, okay!" Jin Cheng quickly walked to his seat and sat down.
As soon as he sat down, he couldn't help but look at Ashe again, and a feeling of emotion surged in his heart, and then he whispered:
"Ashe... It's been a long time since we last met! I feel that you are more beautiful now..."
Jin Cheng stared at Ashe, secretly surprised in his heart.
Although it has not been a year, he was surprised to find that Ashe is now very different from the girl in his memory.
Although she is still like a flower in the cold mountains, the Ashe who appears in front of him at this moment looks more stable and mature, and exudes a looming kingly demeanor.
Of course, the familiar ancient ice bow on her back remained the same.
"?" Jincheng's first words confused Kentak, who had been ready to shut up.
The merchant looked at the noble master beside him with a dull look like a conditioned reflex, and then looked at the Queen of Avarosa involuntarily.
This shrewd and insightful person saw a lot of clues from the passionate and affectionate look between the cold and noble queen and his noble master in an instant.
For a moment, Kentak felt as if a basin of icy water from the Freljord Ice Lake was poured over his head.
He clearly remembered the rumors circulating among the people.
Their noble master - Jincheng.
The reason why he was able to rise to prominence, be promoted to viscount and reach the pinnacle of life was all because he had saved His Royal Highness the Prince.
And successfullyHe got in touch with the powerful Laurent family and eventually married Fiona Laurent, the youngest daughter of the head of the Laurent family.
However, the situation he faced made Kentak wonder if he knew some secrets that he shouldn't know.
As for the two guards who followed closely behind Ashe, they looked at each other with puzzled expressions on their faces.
"Okay, Jincheng, there is still a lot of time to reminisce about the past. Now let's discuss the matter of buying food for the caravan first!"
Ashe pursed her lips, and her thoughts surged like a tide, but she still tried not to let them show.
She knew that she needed to stay calm and focused at this moment, because the matter in front of her was crucial.
She had specially asked these merchants about the situation in the North Sea Forest, and she knew very well that their viscount had married a woman from the Laurent family.
Although her heart was turbulent, Ashe showed extraordinary calmness in the face of the overall situation, as if nothing had happened.
"Yes! Who can tell me in detail how far the negotiations have progressed?"
Jin Cheng nodded, turned his gaze to his side, and asked.
Kentak was about to speak, but Shyvana took the lead and briefly told Jin Cheng the whole story.
Jin Cheng listened and nodded frequently to show his understanding.
Ashe waited quietly on the side, her eyes were firm, and she seemed to be thinking about the next situation.
When Jin Cheng heard all the narrations, he was speechless for a moment.
He couldn't help but cast his eyes on Kentak, and was secretly surprised: this seemingly timid businessman actually had such a big appetite!
