The first sentence he spoke was not to ask where he was, but why:
"Since Mr. Gu is far more powerful than the two of us, why didn't he kill us instead... and tie us here?"
Gu Xun tilted his head and asked curiously:
"You want to die?"
So loyal?
"..." Nonsense, why would I want to die if I could still live? Do you know how to chat?
This man was thinking, but he definitely couldn't say it out loud. After all, he really didn't want to die. "Now my life and death are in the hands of my husband. It would be easy to kill us, but since he didn't kill us, there is no other use."
, Sir, you might as well say it directly."
Hmm~
Gu Xun nodded as he listened, the people in the Iron Blood Alliance are of good quality.
"That's a good guess. It would be useful to keep you two here."
Then, Gu Xun leaned back slightly, leaned on the back of the chair, and pondered for a while: "Well... first of all, answer me a few questions."
"Ha!" The two people opposite laughed at the same time, but the voice was too low and weak, "Although we don't want to die, sir, don't expect us to betray our alliance."
Hearing this, he is indeed somewhat loyal. Gu Xun held his head and thought about it casually. After all, it is an organization that uses Xinyi as a propaganda slogan. I think it will also do some ideological propaganda for its members!
But it’s hard to tell how loyal you are. Shouting slogans is of no use. Whether you can withstand torture, especially the choice between life and death, depends on your performance when you actually face it.
Fortunately, Gu Xun also planned to ask for some important information, which saved the step of torture, not to mention he didn't know the relevant skills.
"I didn't ask you to betray the Iron Blood Alliance. I just asked a few questions. If you think you can answer them, just answer them. If you can't, just say them." Anyway, your main function is to exchange money.
"..." Neither of them spoke to each other. The reason is very simple. Even if you say so, they can't say: OK, you can ask.
How disloyal this seems, there is another person listening next to you!
Gu Xun saw that both of them were silent. He didn't know whether he didn't even agree to the condition, or whether he agreed by default, but it doesn't matter. It's amazing that you didn't answer a single question.
"Ahem, if you don't speak, I'll take it as your acquiescence." Gu Xun cleared his throat.
"..."
Still silent, it seems that he has acquiesced.
"Then the first question is, are you considered strong among the Iron Blood Alliance?"
Hearing this, the two brothers who were tied to the wooden cross managed to turn their heads and look at each other, exchanging opinions in the distance:
Those who can answer answer together, and those who cannot answer remain silent.
OK!
Anyway, we can’t say one thing and not the other.
After reaching an agreement, the two turned their heads back and answered at the same time:
"The strength of the two of us is unparalleled in the league, and there are a lot of masters who are above us."
In fact, what the two said is different, but to summarize, it means the above.
After all, they are just partners, not identical twins. How can we have such a tacit understanding? We can’t ask for too much.
And this summarized answer is of no use to Gu Xun. How much is the mass? How many more is it above the two of you?
"Then do you have a leader? If so, do you know who it is?"
"..."
Silent this time.
Then, Gu Xun asked a lot of questions about the Iron Blood Alliance. A few of them got some ambiguous or unclear answers, while most of them were completely silent.
If we classify them exactly, we will not answer any questions involving specific people or addresses, and only give answers to more general questions.
So the overall value is not great.
But this is not important. What Gu Xun wants to ask next is the key point.
"Okay, I've asked you about the unimportant things. Next, what I want to ask is the real reason why I left you alive. I hope you two can answer it well."
"..."
There was still silence, but the two people's psychological activities were quite rich.
Gu Xun asked so many questions just now, and they almost didn't have any meaningful answers. They all thought that they would devote themselves to the organization today (before Daoaxe really joined, many people thought that they could maintain their loyalty. As for whether they could really
Hold on, that’s a matter of opinion), I didn’t expect this person to say that it’s not important.
Doesn’t this mean there is still a chance to survive!
"The main reason why I left you two alive is to be hostages."
"Mr. Gu wants to use my two lives to make this alliance surrender?" One of them heard Gu Xun's words and couldn't help but break the agreement with his partner and asked.
"No, no, no, don't get me wrong, I don't need the Iron Blood Alliance to show off." Gu Xun hurriedly denied, then pinched his fingers together and gestured: "The purpose of taking you two as hostages is also very good.
Simply, it’s just to ask for a little ransom from your alliance.”
"So..." Gu Xun asked with a very serious expression at this time: "Can you two tell me, how much do you think you are worth in Guimeng?"
"???"
The two were shocked by Gu Xun's purpose.
You've been making trouble for a long time, are you kidnapping money for ransom? Are you letting me tell you the ransom amount? Do you still have any self-esteem as a master?
One of them couldn't help but asked:
"You are an enemy of this alliance just for a little money?"
"Of course not." Gu Xun waved his hand in denial, "That's not a little money, it's a lot of money."
One hundred thousand gold!
As for these two guys, Gu Xun has no intention of making a big fortune from them. After all, they are just a few members. How much ransom can the other party give?
In line with the principle that no matter how small a mosquito leg is, it is still meat, Gu Xun does not want to waste it, and even if it is not a lot, it will not be equated with a mosquito leg.
Anyway, you have offended the other party for 100,000 gold, and you will kill them immediately, making it clear that you have no intention of negotiating peace. Since you want to conquer the other party, the derived value in the process cannot be wasted.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and tell me the number quickly."
"..."
I’ll answer with a hammer!
These two people are now in a dilemma. This question can be answered, but how to answer it?
If you say too little, you will lose face, and more importantly, you are afraid that Gu Xun will be dissatisfied and directly cut yourself off. But if you say too much, the alliance may not be willing to pay.
Although their Iron Blood Alliance has faith as its slogan, its main activity is not for profit. They are willing to spend money to redeem people, but they may not be willing to spend too much money to redeem people.
If you are not willing to pay the ransom, the other party will probably break up the vote or die.
It’s so difficult!
The two struggled until the end and chose silence again.
Let's just forget about it. He wants to pay us back anyway, so he probably won't kill anyone just because he disagrees.
Gu Xun waited for a long time and then changed into a mask with big eyes. No one answered him, so he couldn't help but take a breath and said suspiciously:
