Chieftain Xiong said: "It's really strange that the officers and soldiers kidnapped us together with the bandits. If they hadn't known each other a long time ago, there must be someone behind the scenes. And they can know the identities of you and Alice. Tiejai's identity has been revealed.
It's still possible for someone to recognize you. After all, you are visiting a nearby country with a group these days. It's possible that they received the news and came here to kidnap you. But they also know Alice's identity..."
On the top of the mountain outside the cave dwelling, three leaders were waiting for someone. After a while, a masked man in black appeared in the forest. When the three leaders saw him, they immediately greeted him.
"Is everything done?" the masked man asked in a hoarse voice.
The leader wearing a horned helmet said: "It has been done. The three people are now locked in the cave. I asked them to write a letter each to prepare for ransom."
"You didn't kill anyone, did you?" the masked man said.
The masked leader said: "According to your instructions, we didn't kill anyone, we captured them all alive. However, the princess and the general had a fight by the river before, and they were already injured when we went there."
"Oh, how's the injury?" The masked man's eyes narrowed.
The masked leader said: "The general's injuries don't matter, but Princess Demon Moon's injuries are more serious."
"How is she?"
The masked leader said: "She lost too much blood. One of my men checked and found that her body was seriously damaged. It was all internal damage caused by domineering. However, I have had someone deal with it for her. There is no danger to her life."
The masked man said: "You must take good care of this person. She is the most valuable among the three. Whether you can live a satisfactory life in the future or not, you have to forget her."
The one-horned helmet leader smiled and said: "We understand this. When the matter is completed, you can take the big head and divide it half, and the remaining half will be divided among our brothers."
The masked man nodded with satisfaction and said, "How much ransom do you plan to ask for?"
The leader of the Horned Helmet said: "We have discussed that we will ask Tusi Xiong's men for a ransom of 1.5 million, and Iron Armor will ask for 5 million. He is the general of St. Bikeya, and the St. Bikeya government will definitely be willing to pay the ransom."
This price.”
"What about Princess Demon Moon?"
The one-horned helmet leader stretched out his finger, his eyebrows beaming with joy: "Seventy million."
The masked man waved his fingers to express dissatisfaction.
The horned helmeted leader hurriedly asked: "Do you think it's too much?"
The masked man shook his head and said: "You... no matter how precious a treasure is, it seems that there must be someone who understands its value. The white skull leader and Iron Armor mentioned earlier are just soup and dessert.
It doesn’t matter if you have more or less, the main dish is this princess. Do you think a Demon Moon Princess is only worth 70 million?"
"Then how much do you want? One hundred million? Two hundred million?" The three bosses gathered around and looked at the masked man eagerly.
The masked man held out five fingers: "Five billion."
"Five...five billion~!!" The three of them were horrified and frightened.
The one-horned helmet leader bent down and covered his chest and said: "I can't do it anymore, I can't do it anymore, my heart is almost beating out." His hands were shaking, his feet were shaking, and his whole body was shaking: "Five billion! You are
seriously?"
The masked man said: "Don't say five billion, even if you ask for more, they may still pay. Do you understand what country Mo Yue is? She is the direct princess of Mo Yue. If your price is too low, they may
I'm still not happy, and may even wonder if you really kidnapped the princess."
"But five billion, would... wouldn't it be too much? That's five billion!"
The masked man said: "Are you scared? Do you think this is an astronomical figure that you can't even imagine?"
The three leaders were all frightened. You looked at me and I looked at you, not knowing what to say.
The masked man chuckled and said: "Among the direct royal families of the Demon Moon Empire, the most likely successors in the future are Princess Alice and her brother. It is about the succession of the throne of a superpower, five billion, but
It's a hair from nine lions. Just ask me for the price, and they will definitely pay the money."
When the three leaders heard this, their hearts were beating wildly.
"Five billion! If you divide it in half, you'll get 2.5 billion! Divide it into three parts again and give 100 million to your brothers. Then each of the three of us will have 800 million. This... this is something I have never seen in my life.
Money." The less talkative leader was surprised, and the masked man and the man wearing the horned helmet nodded repeatedly. There was a little dispute between them over the issue of ransom and the division of blood, but now they are surprisingly united.
The masked leader said: "Sir... Your Majesty..." He did not know the identity of the masked man and kept calling him "Sir". He said: "Sir, before you forced me and two of their bandits together to do this
I still don’t want to be kidnapped.”
The masked man squinted his eyes and smiled: "What about now?"
The masked leader said: "Now you are an idol, you are... I don't even know how to describe it. In short, I am willing to do whatever you ask me to do."
The masked man smiled even more: "I won't let you do anything, as long as you do this well, that's enough."
The masked leader hurriedly said, "Yes, we will never dare to make any mistakes."
The masked man said: "Besides, you can't let them know that I'm behind the scenes."
"I know, I know, don't worry about this, no one knows your existence except the three of us."
…
In the cave dwelling, Chieftain Xiong scratched his belly and said, "But now it doesn't matter whether we know whether they are officers or soldiers. What they want is money. This is the best result for us."
This is indeed the best outcome for them, because if it only matters, it means that no harm will be done and there is no need for conflict. Problems that can be solved with money are the easiest problems for some people.
Although it would be embarrassing for Tie Kai to go back in this way, he is now the general of St. Bikeya, which means that he represents the face of St. Bikeya and will not ignore him. And Tusi Xiong was redeemed by his subordinates.
Although it damages the reputation in the mercenary world, in the world of mercenaries, if you suffer a loss today, you will always make up for it tomorrow. For Alice, the identity of the Demon Moon Princess not only brings dangerous troubles, but also makes up for it tomorrow.
A kind of protective talisman. Ordinary kidnappers would never dare to harm her. Kidnapping the Demon Moon Princess for ransom may not lead to revenge, but if it really wants to kill Alice, the Demon Moon Empire will definitely not stop and will search everywhere.
The whole continent will also find the kidnappers who broke the dispute. This is the best result, but...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Alice, what's wrong with you?" Tusi Xiong asked her when he saw that she had no intention of writing a letter about being kidnapped.
Alice shook her head slightly and said, "I have to escape."
"Why?" Tusi Xiong said: "As long as you write a letter and ask the Demon Moon Empire to pay the ransom, you will be fine. With your status, these people will not dare to harm you."
Alice still shook her head and said: "No, I can't go back." Alice really didn't want to go back, it wasn't that she couldn't, but that she didn't want to. She was personally married to the Holy Gripen Empire by her father, and it took a lot of effort to get there.
She escaped on the way to get married, but she didn't want to go back like this again. She didn't know how to face her father, and she didn't want to.
"this……"
Tie Kai put down his pen, looked at the two guards outside the prison and did not notice them, and whispered: "Since you want to escape, let's escape together."
Chieftain Xiong said: "Iron Armor, you..."
Tie Kai chuckled and said: "It will be embarrassing for me to return to the country in this way. The penalty of demotion is unavoidable. How can I lead my soldiers in the future? I became a prisoner of a group of bandits, and my colleagues also
Don’t make me laugh to death.”
Toast Bear scratched his belly and said: "You left the delegation at my invitation. If you don't want to go back like this, then I will escape with you. These ignorant bastard bandits really think we are
Are there soft-footed shrimps?”
"You..." Alice looked at them, feeling moved in her heart.
Tie Jia said to Alice: "You don't have to look at us like this, and I'm not doing this for you. Although the two countries have signed a peace agreement, for us soldiers, the Demon Moon is still the biggest obstacle in Saint Vicoia.
enemy."
Alice smiled sincerely and nodded vigorously: "Yes."
