The wolf king held the armrest of the chair tightly, and the balance in his heart kept tilting towards Xia Changan. Until Xia Changan added another weight to the balance.
Seeing that the Wolf King was slow to make a decision, Xia Changan said bluntly, "I know that this matter should be discussed with the Demon King. But firstly, I don't have a way to meet the Demon King; secondly, as far as I know, the Demon King is a complete war faction. If I discuss it directly with the Demon King, I am afraid there will be no results. That's why I came to the Wolf King first. If the Northern Wilderness Region is willing to negotiate peace, the Central Plains Region will definitely welcome it, and I can do my best to provide you with technical support for improving the soil and future farming."
The wolf king's eyes lit up when he heard about technical support. It must be said that the sugar-coated bullet given by Xia Changan was really tempting.
They lacked everything in the Northern Wilderness except food. With such a large area of land, less than one percent could be used for planting and grazing.
If they still lived in places like Zhongzhou with abundant grass and water like they did thousands of years ago, they wouldn't have to work so hard to farm and raise animals.
But their ancestors lost the fight, so they had to migrate to the Northern Wilderness. Because the land here was not good, they were forced to farm like humans.
However, their talent for farming is really poor, and they encounter various natural disasters from time to time, so they often fail to harvest any crops. They are both helpless and anxious about this.
Therefore, the last weight given by Xia Changan was really significant. The scale in the Wolf King's heart finally completely tilted towards Xia Changan's side.
The two-meter-tall wolf king rushed to Xia Changan in one step, his face flushed with excitement.
He said in a trembling voice: "Are you telling the truth? Previously, the Demon King sent a large army to invade Zhongzhou. Can you really put aside the past grudges and negotiate peace with us? And are you willing to provide technical support?"
Xia Changan stroked his long hair that was messed up by the wind and said solemnly, "That's just my fault! Humans don't lie to monsters. What do you think? Are you interested in joining me in making a big deal?"
At this moment, the Wolf King was so fooled by Xia Changan's sugar-coated bullets that he was at a loss as to what to do. He nodded repeatedly, wishing he could become sworn brothers with Xia Changan on the spot.
Otherwise, why do they say that all monsters are idiots? Look at the one in front of her. After all, he is the leader of the wolf tribe. When he heard that she could help solve the food problem, he was immediately overjoyed.
How can he look like a wolf king now! He is just a wolf!
Xia Changan was quite satisfied with the result. Although the opponent was only the wolf king, his weight was still a little light for her plan, but it was better than nothing.
Besides, she didn't expect to solve all the problems in the Northern Wilderness with this one horn. She just wanted to get a breakthrough from him.
Her main purpose was to meet the demon king through the wolf king's introduction. Only when leaders talk to each other directly can the problem be solved more directly.
After learning about Xia Changan's plan, haha, oh no, it was the Wolf King. He took the initiative to offer to help Xia Changan and the Demon King to meet.
However, although the wolf king looked tall and strong, he was actually a big coward. He refused to use his name to help Xia Changan to make connections.
"First of all, I'm not afraid! You don't know! Even though I'm the king of the wolf tribe, I'm still a person of some status in front of the demon king, but the demon king kills demon beasts without blinking an eye. The number of king-level demon beasts in his hands can't be counted on ten fingers. I'm also considering my own safety. After all, I still have people in this city to feed, and I can't just die like this."
The Wolf King spoke with a righteous look on his face, but every word he said showed his resistance to personally introducing Xia Changan to the Demon King.
In order not to scare away the partner she had finally fooled, Xia Changan had to agree to disguise herself as a palace maid and have the Wolf King's men stationed in the palace take her into the palace.
Xia Changan complained reluctantly: "Are you sure you are not lying to me? Why don't you just go through the normal process of meeting with the envoy? Why do you have to be so sneaky like an assassin? Wouldn't this make it easier to arouse the dissatisfaction of the demon king and reduce the possibility of a successful negotiation?"
The Wolf King shook his head in disapproval and said, "No, no! Our demon king has a strange way of thinking. If you follow the normal process, he might kill you before you even see him. But if you act like an underground party member, the more mysterious you are, the more he will be afraid of you, and he will not easily take action against you. At most, he will have someone capture you and put you in a dungeon to eat dust. This is the secret that has kept me alive for so many years, and I won't tell anyone else!"
Xia Changan glanced at the Wolf King with sympathy, and comforted him halfheartedly: "Ah, this... It's really not easy for you to work under such a weird demon king. You have worked so hard over the years. Then I will listen to you. The more mysterious it is, the better!"
The wolf king wiped away his tears and said pitifully, "Don't worry! I'm familiar with this job, I'll take care of it! You just need to follow my people. I'll take care of everything, you don't have to worry about it."
Xia Changan gave a business smile and nodded gratefully to the Wolf King, indicating that he knew what to do. Then, the Wolf King ran out happily to help Xia Changan make a series of arrangements.
Although the wolf king looked like a rough man, he was very efficient and arranged everything perfectly. This made Xia Changan look at him with a new eye.
She couldn't help but ask, "Wolf King, I didn't realize you were so meticulous. You've prepared everything, including clothes, shoes, badges, and even headwear. You're really capable at work! I thought you were just a hands-off boss, but it turns out I underestimated you."
The wolf king waved his hands embarrassedly and said, "Thank you for the compliment! You are right, I am a hands-off boss. These were all prepared by my secretary. I just went out for a meal. Oh, by the way, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something too?"
Xia Changan twitched her lips and ruthlessly rejected the invitation of the Wolf King. The food of the monsters was simply dark cuisine to her.
She saw it yesterday when she was outside the city. The food those refugees ate was simply terrible. She really didn't want to try it. Anyway, she had been fasting for a long time, so she wouldn't starve even if she didn't eat.
Hearing Xia Changan say that he didn't need to eat, the wolf king was visibly happy. He was afraid that Xia Changan would regret it, so he hurriedly arranged a place for her to rest and sent her there to wait for the news of departure.
Xia Changan was completely speechless by the Wolf King. The other party's stinginess was written all over his face.
How much food is lacking in the Northern Wilderness that would make a dignified Wolf King so happy just because he could save enough food to entertain guests!
Xia Changan tried not to be surprised, but she was greatly shocked.
The Wolf King's men were very helpful and did not make Xia Changan wait too long. Good news came that afternoon.
So, on the afternoon of the first day that Xia Chang'an sneaked into the Northern Wilderness, he followed the insider planted in the palace by the Wolf King and sneaked into the Demon Palace.
At this time, Xia Changan was wearing a full set of palace maid clothing, and even her hairstyle and headdress were exactly the same as those of the other palace maids around her. Even if you looked closely, you couldn't see any difference.
I have to say that the Wolf King's secretary is a talent. His ability to disguise himself is truly unique. Xia Changan himself could hardly recognize himself, not to mention the other people in the palace.
Xia Changan followed the insider and wandered around the palace for a long time. If she hadn't scanned the layout of the entire palace and knew that the other party was not leading the way randomly, she would have thought that the other party was playing a trick on her.
Finally, after walking for more than half an hour, the insider in front finally stopped and turned back to whisper to her: "The Demon King is now in the hall in front. Be careful after entering. It is said that the Demon King just went down to kill a palace maid who displeased him, and he is probably in a bad mood now. You must take it easy!"
Xia Changan complained about the cruelty of the demon king in his heart, but he still had no intention of backing down. Instead, he nodded to indicate that he understood.
The Wolf King's inside player opened his mouth and finally said "It's all up to you", then turned around and left without looking back.
Xia Changan was the only one left, looking at the hall in front of him in the cold wind and thinking about something.
