Zongman: Under One Person, join the chat group

Cat suddenly realized that Qin Qi was not acting rashly, but because this was truly a good opportunity!

"You're such a clever little kitty."

Qin Qi smiled and said.

"Not only that, you also want to take this opportunity to reduce our casualties!"

"If you want to become the lord of all demons and monsters, then sooner or later you will have to fight them, and a real battle will break out among all the demons."

"In the end, regardless of victory or defeat, a lot of monsters will definitely die! You don't want to watch your subordinates die."

"So we'll use this method to defeat the enemy's general first, and then minimize casualties!"

"The only danger is you, who have penetrated deep into the enemy's base!"

The cat looked at Qin Qi with a complicated expression. This man had silently shouldered everything.

They were sheltering from the storm behind this person.

It's not that life is peaceful and serene; rather, someone is walking at the forefront of the parade of demons, sheltering them from the wind and rain!

"That's probably why."

"But when they first followed me, I said that no matter what happened, I would always be at the forefront."

"But a battle is still a battle, and if they choose to follow me, they must be prepared to lose their lives!"

"There are no immortals in this world, no invincible battles, only people who constantly struggle to survive."

"We've arrived, and someone has come to welcome us."

As Qin Qi spoke "583", a four- or five-meter-tall crimson demon appeared before him, its size even larger than the green demon he had encountered before.

The fear he exuded was even stronger than that of the Blue Demon, and there were countless evil spirits like him in Mount Ooe!

"Human? You're asking for trouble, are you here for me to eat?"

Red Demon looked down at the tiny Qin Qi and asked.

"No, I'm here to see your boss, Shuten-dōji. Also, stay away from me, you reek of alcohol."

Qin Qi looked at the swaying, unsteady Red Demon and shook his head. This guy was clearly drunk.

"Looking for our boss... Boss, Lord Shuten-dōji has... has... um?"

Red Demon stared at Qin Qi, his mind blank for a moment. He didn't seem to recognize Qin Qi, let alone know his name.

So how should he report this? That's the question.

"Hahaha, I sensed it from afar. Bring the guest over here."

The voice of Shuten-dōji came from deep within Mount Ōe, and the earth trembled three times just from the sound of his voice.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing the voice, the Red Demon instantly sobered up and looked at Qin Qi: "Um, human, this way please."

"You were quite polite when you weren't drunk."

Qin Qi was slightly surprised to see the red ghost speaking to him in honorifics; this guy was actually quite polite after sobering up.

The Red Demon didn't speak, but just smiled, and then led the way, guiding Qin Qi through the horde of demons to the depths of Mount Ooe.

"Oh, would you like to have a drink with me?"

Shuten-dōji sat on a chair made of several empty sake jars, holding a sake bowl that was half the size of his own body.

The wine bowl emitted a rich aroma of wine, and the cat only took two sniffs before getting drunk.

"Meow, I feel dizzy. Meow, why are you upside down? How did the sky end up at my feet?"

The cat looked at the upside-down world and at Qin Qi standing upside down, and suddenly laughed. She found it very amusing.

"Your alcohol tolerance is terrible; you get drunk just from smelling it."

Qin Qi grabbed the cat that had fallen off him, pressed down on it, and the cat sobered up in the next second!

"Meow!"

The first thing the cat did after sobering up was to hold its breath and look at Shuten-dōji with great apprehension.

"Haha, don't look at me like that. This is not poison, but a delicious wine that I brewed myself."

As he spoke, Shuten-dōji picked up his sake cup and gulped it down in one go. The sake, so delicious that its aroma alone could make one drunk, was all consumed by Shuten-dōji.

Even so, her expression remained unchanged, showing no signs of being drunk.

"Meow."

"Be careful. When I came here, I specifically asked Wenche Yaofei about the background of these demons. Shuten-dōji is known as the lord of the demon clan!"

"Although she doesn't usually get involved in things, her strength is terrifying. A long, long time ago, she once ascended to the position of the lord of all demons and monsters in the world!"

“He is a completely different kind of yokai from the Great Tengu.”

Before the cat arrived, she specifically inquired about the backgrounds of these demons from Wenche Yaofei. Among them, Wenche Yaofei specifically told her to pay attention to Shuten-dōji.

"Little kitten knows me very well, huh? Lord of demons and monsters, I haven't heard anyone call me that in a long time."

"I am no longer interested in this position. I am only interested in fine wine and banquets now."

Shuten-dōji jumped down from the sake jar, stretched out her hand, and the demon beside her refilled her sake.

She swayed and staggered to Qin Qi's side, leaning against his chest, and said in a slightly provocative tone.

"You must be the Lord of a Hundred Demons of Kanto. You dare to break into my stronghold all by yourself. You have quite the guts."

"Would you like to drink a cup of nuptial wine with me? If you get drunk, I'll cut off your head."

With a bewitching face and a sweet tone, Shuten-dōji uttered the most terrifying words, looking at Qin Qi with a half-smile.

"Do you think I'm afraid? If I get drunk, you can cut off my head. If you get drunk, I'll cut off your head!"

"From this day forward, Mount Ooe will be under my control, and all the demons under heaven will revere me!"

Qin Qi raised his hand, and a wine jar flew directly into his hand. He opened the jar and then revealed an arrogant smile as he spoke.

"How interesting! Alright then, I agree. If you can get me drunk, you can have my head."

Shuten-dōji's pale purple eyes shone with an eerie light as she looked at Qin Qi. She raised her arm and took Qin Qi's arm, then pressed her red lips to the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

"If you can get me drunk, you can have my head too."

Qin Qi lifted the wine jar and drank it all in one gulp. The moment the wine went down his throat, it turned into a kind of alcoholic aroma, which permeated every part of his body.

At the same time, it is also invading the soul; this is a drink that can intoxicate even the soul!

The cat watched the two drinking together, her heart pounding. It was a very harmonious scene.

However, there was a hidden danger lurking beneath the surface, and she could lose her life if she was not careful. She couldn't help but be nervous!

Seeing that Qin Qi and Shuten-dōji remained calm after finishing their drinks, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Haha, you're really funny."

"It's not that no one has ever tried to get me drunk with wine and then take my life, but this is the first time you've said it so directly."

"How delightful! Come, let's drink again! I'll drink with you until the end of our lives!"

Shuten-dōji looked at Qin Qi, who was neither flushed nor out of breath, and showed a very happy expression. This was the first time she had met someone who had drunk with her and was not drunk.

You should know that when she brews wine, ordinary people and demons will be drunk to death just by smelling it, and even powerful demons will become drunk after drinking a little bit.

Aside from herself, she was the first person to drink an entire jar of liquor in one go like Qin Qi without any problems.

"Then I'll play along to the end!"

Qin Qi spoke.

The two poured themselves more wine and drank again. At this point, it was a battle of wills. Whoever got scared first would lose, and whoever got drunk first would lose!

There was no turning back; they could only keep drinking until one of them completely collapsed!

.........

Meanwhile, in Tono Village, the fighting between the people stopped, and the house was reduced to ruins, but no one died.

The group moved to different seats and then continued the meeting.

“We have witnessed your strength before, and I admit that you have the ability to contend with us.”

"But that's not enough to unify Northeast China. You can withstand an attack from our family, but what about the other places?"

"Under our relentless attacks, you will eventually be unable to withstand them, so retreat."

"We will allocate one-tenth of our military strength in the Northeast to you. This way, you'll benefit, I'll benefit, and everyone will benefit. What do you all think?"

Kidomaru knelt on the cushion, his long sword beside him, and looking at the others, he made a suggestion.

His previous contempt, provocation, and fighting were all part of a scheme. Although he was arrogant, he still knew how to do things properly.

He's not the kind of guy who'll act stubbornly just because he's arrogant; otherwise, Hagoromo Gitsune wouldn't have sent him.

"Troop strength doesn't matter, anyway, we, Dajiang Mountain, will take 80% of the annual grain tribute!"

"There is no room for negotiation on this point; we can forgo military force for this reason."

"Ibaraki-dōji spoke up. The monsters of Mount Ōe are all oni, and there are many oni in Hell."

They don't lack troops at all; what they lack more is food, specifically food for brewing wine!

"That's not a problem. Our four countries have fertile lands and don't lack food. We only need enough troops."

"The tanuki spoke up. Most of the monsters in their four kingdoms are tanuki, and the rest are monsters that have become animal spirits."

Therefore, they want to absorb more types of monsters to make up for the lack of monster types in the four countries.

In a few words, the crowd divided up the people and goods of Northeast China, and the monsters of Northeast China didn't even have the right to object.

Without the Lord of a Hundred Demons, they are simply not qualified to fight against the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons from other regions.

"I disagree."

The sun looked left and right, searching for a long time but couldn't find the cat. He looked at others, but everyone looked at him.

Left with no other choice, he had to step forward and deal with the situation.

"If you disagree, then what do you want? If 10% of our troops aren't enough, we can give you 15%, plus half a percent of the grain from the Northeast."

Kidomaru spoke up. His bottom line was 30% of his troops, but no negotiation could reveal one's bottom line at the outset.

Ask for a high price and pay back the low price.

"No."

Sun Wheel shook his head.

"That 20% is the bottom line we can give up. Any more than that is impossible."

Kidomaru spoke up.

"disagree."

"Hey……"

Kidomaru sighed, then pretended to discuss with the monsters behind him, and then with the tanuki of Shikoku and Ibaraki-dōji of Mount Ōe.

After some discussion, Kidomaru presented the final result.

"After our discussion, I and the four countries are willing to contribute 25% of our troops and 10% of our food."

"This is the greatest sincerity we can offer. If you don't agree, then we'll have no choice but to go to war."

Kidomaru gripped the sword in his hand, as if to say, "If you disagree, I'll draw my sword and start a fight right now."

"No, no."

Sun Wheel shook his head.

Looking at Hinowa's blank expression, Kidomaru felt that this guy was really a tough opponent.

His face remained impassive, revealing a deep and calculating mind. He was about to draw his sword, yet the other party still refused. His courage was truly remarkable!

No wonder the Lord of a Hundred Demons of Kanto was able to rule Kanto silently and conquer Hokkaido at the same time.

Just by looking at the spirit of their trusted subordinates, you can tell how capable their general is!

"Don't go too far! I came here with sincerity. If war breaks out, everyone will suffer heavy losses, regardless of who wins or loses."
