Still getting no answer, Gu Xun had no choice but to give up his plan of letting Rou Piao tell the ransom amount himself.
"Since none of you are willing to say anything, I have to do it myself."
"Let me tell you a number...five thousand gold per person!" Gu Xun said in a long voice and stretched out his fingers.
"Kill us!" This time the two people on the other side had a tacit understanding and said exactly the same thing in unison.
Each person has five thousand pieces of gold, why don’t you scratch both of us and see if we can get five thousand pieces out?!!!
Sure enough, you are crazy about money. Do you really think that we are important people? The two hostages want 10,000 gold, why don't you just rush to our headquarters to grab it?!
That is to say, Gu Xun doesn't know what these two people are thinking, otherwise he would definitely tell them that if I knew the place, I might really want to rob you.
Gu Xun would first trick Jade Tiger, and then blackmail the Jagged Alliance. Ultimately, it was because he had been in this world for more than two months, and his life was gradually becoming more stable, and he was a bit back to his old ways.
What solid state?
One word: Lang!
Previously, in the animal world, the social structure was confusing. Gu Xun had no effective way to make money normally (quickly), so the method of saving money was relatively rough, in one word: grab!
The system is strict about the ownership of money. If Gu Xun wants to rob it, he must kill all the opponents or expel them all, leaving the money as an ownerless thing.
This method must not be used casually on wealthy businessmen. It is too unethical, so Gu Xun chose to rob some suitable people.
Then he wiped out less than half of the green forest giants and bandits in the world. The most exaggerated time was when he wiped out eight large-scale bandit villages in northern Hunan in a month, and then they were captured by Guangxi, Guangxi and Hunan (here Xiang refers to the Xiangjiang River, Liangjiang).
Hunan refers to southern and northern Hunan geographically rather than referring to the three Hunan and four rivers in Hunan. Thirty-two bandit villages jointly pursued and killed him. Thousands of martial arts people chased him all day long and chased him for more than half a year. In the end, the Seven Heroes were still there.
We worked together to help him solve it.
Well, it’s all solved.
But since then, Gu Xun has also restrained himself a little, and no longer does such things of killing everyone.
Well, let’s get back to the topic.
After Gu Xun heard these two guys' desperate words, he understood that it was unrealistic to expect these two people to extort 10,000 gold from the Iron-Blooded Alliance.
md, two wastes!
I knew earlier that those six cauldrons should have been stopped, but it was a miscalculation!
Unfortunately, it's too late to regret now.
Gu Xun, who was unhappy, said to the two bargain hunters in a very impatient tone:
"You can't buy it for ten thousand gold. It's such a waste."
"I'll give you one last chance, tell me the number!"
Hearing that Gu Xun's tone was no longer as calm as before, and began to become irritable and impatient, the two of them knew in their hearts that they were really angry, and they did not dare to remain silent in case they were killed in anger.
What?
They looked at each other again, confirmed the answer, and then replied at the same time:
"One thousand gold pieces! One thousand gold pieces per person!"
"This should be the limit, and the alliance will not pay any more."
Good guys, it seems that there really can't be any more, these two cheap guys speak so straightforwardly.
Gu Xun sighed in his heart, really deeply, and said, "Two thousand gold is just two thousand gold. A little will make a lot, something is better than nothing.
"Oh! Two thousand gold is just two thousand gold. It's better to have something than nothing." Gu Xun said melancholy as he felt melancholy in his heart.
"..." In response to such humiliating and heartbreaking words, the two captive prisoners could only pretend not to hear them.
"Ahem!" Gu Xun pretended to cough twice and pretended not to speak just now. Even if he is a bargain, he can't be too angry. What if he gets angry?
"Well, do you know when the next wave of people from the Iron Blood Alliance will come?" Gu Xun asked the last thing he needed to know.
"..." No one said anything.
Just kidding, can't I tell you this so that you can take precautions in advance? If I don't tell you, I'll catch you by surprise, and maybe we two will be saved.
It’s really non-violence and non-cooperation.
Gu Xun stood up, folded his hands in front of his chest, sneered and threatened:
"If you don't want to answer, then I will guard you here. Once the people from the Iron Blood Alliance attack, I will kill you both first."
Give in decisively!
This is not a confidential matter. If you want to know, we must tell you:
"Two hours after the mission starts, if we haven't returned yet, the alliance will assume that something happened to us and immediately organize a second group of people to come."
"Speaking of the key points, how long will it take specifically?" Gu Xun is too lazy to listen to these nonsense. He still has to calculate the time himself. Isn't it a good idea to ask them directly?
"..."
"Including the time it takes to gather people and rush on the road, it will probably take more than three hours. No matter how specific we are, we can't estimate it."
"Yes." Gu Xun nodded slightly, showing a satisfied smile, "Very good, thank you for your cooperation."
Then he raised his hand and injected two more qi into their bodies, "After two and a half hours, the qi in your bodies will explode and kill you. If the people from the Iron Blood Alliance don't come, I will come and fight."
I will release my energy and save your lives, but if they come earlier, I may not be able to take care of you, so I will have to ask for my own blessings."
As soon as he said this, the two faces under the mask turned green at the same time.
Is it so insidious?
We are just making predictions, we can’t be sure! Don’t you consider that they might act in advance?
Unfortunately, before the two of them could say a few words of defense, Gu Xun's figure flashed and disappeared.
The two of them could only curse weakly in the basement.
The biggest good news for them is that they were not being clever just now and deliberately misled the other party by saying a very late time. According to normal procedures, it would indeed take at least three hours before anyone comes again.
Well, the probability of survival is still very high!
On the ground, under the cold moonlight, Gu Xun went to the guest room to find Zi Nu.
He deliberately didn't listen to what those two guys had to say in defense.
Anyway, if it is really too late and he is killed by the true energy, Gu Xun will be unlucky and will lose two thousand gold.
After questioning these two people for a long time, they didn’t know this or anything, and they kept silent at every turn, as if silence could really turn gold.
Gu Xun said he didn't care about it, but in fact... for the sake of money, he really didn't care about it, but the premise was that it was a big money, two thousand gold crickets...
Don't say Gu Xun is petty, but he gave the two of them a way to survive. As long as their luck is not too bad, they probably won't die.
……
"Have you taken care of those two people?" Zi Nu lay on her side on the soft couch, looking across the mountain and showing her body curves, and asked Gu Xun in a lazy tone as she walked in.
When Gu Xun saw this scene, he stared at the soft couch with a very upright gentleman's eyes, "Ah, it's taken care of."
"They said it will take three hours for someone from the Iron Blood Alliance to arrive. You can go and rest. You look tired, but you can't stay up late anymore."
Zi Nu couldn't help but roll her eyes, if it weren't for your mother to be so tired, would she be so tired?
Then he twisted his slender waist and got up from the couch, "It's okay to take a rest. I'll arrange for someone to take you to have a rest."
"No need." Gu Xun raised his hand to stop Zi Nu, "I'll just stay here and watch. Don't show up again for the next thing."
Seeing the insistence on Gu Xun's face, Zinu snorted coldly, "It's up to you, just think that I'm willing to take care of this shit!"
