Chapter 1462 Kidnappers and Ransom
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 that you and the bandits Alice’s identity, Iron Armor, your identity has been It is still possible to recognize her. After all, you are visiting a nearby country with the group these days. It is possible that they have received the news and come here specifically to kidnap her. But they also know Alice’s identity..."
< br>On the top of the mountain outside the cave dwelling, three leaders are waiting for someone here. After a while, a masked man in black appeared in the forest. When the three leaders saw it, they immediately greeted him.
"Is everything done?" the masked man asked in a hoarse voice.
The leader wearing the horned helmet said: "It has been done. The three people are now locked in the cave. I asked them to each write a letter to prepare for the 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 is more seriously injured."
"How is she?"
The masked leader said: "She lost too much blood. One of my subordinates checked and found that her body was seriously damaged. It was all internal damage caused by domineering. However, I have had someone deal with 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 will have to forget her."
Horned Helmet The leader smiled and said: "We understand this. Bai. When it’s done, you take the bulk and divide the remaining half among our brothers.”
The masked man nodded with satisfaction and said, “How much ransom do you plan to ask for?”
Horned helmet The leader 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 Saint Bikeya, and the Saint Bikeya government will definitely be willing to pay this price. ”
"What about Princess Demon Moon?"
The one-horned helmeted leader stretched out his finger, his eyebrows beaming with joy: "Seventy million."
The masked man waved his finger. , expressing dissatisfaction.
The horned helmet leader hurriedly asked: "Do you think it is too much?"
The masked man shook his head and said: "You... no matter how precious a treasure is, it seems that there must be one People who understand its value. The White Skeleton Leader and Iron Armor mentioned earlier are just soup and dessert. It doesn’t matter if you want more or less. The main dish is this princess. Do you think that a Demon Moon Princess is only worth seven. Ten million?”
"Then how much do you want? One hundred million? Two hundred million?" The three leaders gathered around, all looking at the masked man eagerly.
The masked man stretched out five fingers: "Five billion."
"Five...five billion~!!" The three of them were horrified.
The horned helmeted 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! Are you serious?"
The masked man said: "Don't say five. One billion, even if you ask for more, they might still pay. Do you understand what kind of country Mo Yue is? She is the direct princess of Mo Yue. If your price is too low, they may not be happy, and they may even pay. I wonder if you really kidnapped the princess.”
"But five billion, would... would it be too much? That's five billion!"
The masked man said: "Are you scared? You think this is an astronomical thing that you dare not even think about. Number? "
The three leaders were stunned. 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 is just a hair on the body of nine lions. Just pay me the price, they will definitely pay the money." The three leaders heard their hearts pounding.
"Five billion! If you divide it in half, you'll get 2.5 billion! If you divide it into three parts 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 horned helmet nodded repeatedly. There was still a little dispute between them over the issue of ransom and division of the soil, 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, you raped me and the two bandits before. Pulling them together, I am still reluctant to do this kind of kidnapping."
The masked man squinted his eyes and smiled: "Then now. Are you there?”
The masked leader said: “You are an idol now, I don’t even know how to describe it. Anyway, 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 said hurriedly; "Yes, we will never dare to make any mistakes."
The masked man said: "In addition, we cannot let them know that I am behind the operation."
" I know, I know, don’t worry about this, no one knows about you except the three of us. "
......
In the cave, Tusi Xiong scratched his belly and said, "But now it doesn't matter whether they are officers or soldiers, what they want is money. This is the best outcome 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 will be no need for conflict. The problems that money can solve 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. Although Tusi Xiong was redeemed by his subordinates, his reputation in the mercenary world was damaged, but in the mercenary world, 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 is also a protective talisman. Ordinary kidnappers would never dare to harm her. Kidnapping the Demon Moon Princess for ransom may not lead to retaliation, but if Alice is really killed, the Demon Moon Empire will definitely not give up. Even if they search the entire continent, they will find the kidnapper who is ruthless. Such a best result, but...
"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?" Toast Bear said: "As long as I write a letter and let the Demon Moon Empire pay the ransom. It’s okay. With your status, these people won’t dare to hurt you.”
Alice still shook her head and said, “No, I can’t go back.” It’s not that she can’t go back. It's unwillingness. She was married off to the Holy Gripen Empire by her father, and she managed to escape from the marriage. 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 face him.
"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. "
Touch Xiong said: "Tie Kai, you..."
Tie Kai chuckled and said, "Let me return to the country in this way. Not to mention the embarrassment, the punishment is to be demoted. inevitable Damn it, how can I lead my soldiers in the future? I became a prisoner of a group of bandits and my colleagues didn’t laugh me to death.”
Toast Bear scratched his belly and said, “You’re in trouble. You just left the visiting group at my invitation. If you don't want to go back like this, then I will escape with you. Do these ignorant bastard bandits really think that we are soft-footed shrimps?"
"You..." Alice looked at them, feeling moved in her heart.
Tie Kai 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 magic moon is still Saint Bikoya’s biggest enemy.”
Alice smiled sincerely and nodded vigorously: “Yes.”
