But first, due to the narrow space at the door, it is not conducive to attacking; Second, there were more than 30 sword-wielding guards in the house, so the thieves did not rush in, but stood outside the door and surrounded the restaurant.

Looking at the black and oppressive thief at the door, he let out a long sigh.

Although he knew that there was no hope for a breakthrough, he still called Commander Zhang to his side:

"Ah Zhang, tell me the truth, is it still possible for us to break out?"

"This, this ......" looked embarrassed twice, and saw Commander Zhang shake his head and replied:

"Breakout...... It's not impossible, but the end will not be able to guarantee the safety of adults, and it is really a matter of the next step. Why don't you talk to the other person first? ”

"Yes, yes! The widow also thinks that we should talk to each other first. After listening to Commander Zhang's suggestion, Liu Xie, who was flustered, also echoed on the side:

"Perhaps, as long as their conditions are met, they will leave on their own?"

"Alas! Okay, let's go and give it a try. If not, let's talk about the breakout......"

Hearing what the saint said, he didn't talk about it anymore. But he was just about to come forward to negotiate, but was stopped by Liu Xie again:

"Lord Fu, there is one more thing about the widow. During the negotiation, you must not let them know who we are, otherwise the other side will definitely open their mouths......"

"Please rest assured, the old man has his own measure!" After nodding his head in confirmation, he saw Fu Wan take a step forward and said loudly to the thief outside the door:

"Who's outside the door? Can I register my name? ”

As soon as these words came out, the thieves outside the door instantly quieted down.

After waiting for more than ten seconds, a man wearing a brown mask came out of the crowd and said in his extremely hoarse voice:

"Do you need to ask? We are the ones who have come to take your life! Quickly put down your weapon, or you will be killed! ”

Seeing that the other party did not reveal his identity, he had to say a second time:

"Ladies and gentlemen, as the saying goes, it is better to settle a grievance than to settle it. I guess you're all here for money, so we don't need to be so nervous, so why don't we sit down and talk? ”

"Humph! It's ridiculous! ”

After a sneer, I heard the brown-faced man say disapprehantly:

"Don't pee on yourself, you are already a turtle in an urn, what qualifications do you have to negotiate with us? If you don't lay down your weapons, don't even think about living when you wait for the next one! ”

"That's right! We are surrounded by you, and there are not as many people as you......" Facing the enemy's threat, Fu Wan was not afraid, and looked directly at the other party and said:

"But it is impossible for us to give up resistance! If we really fight, we soldiers are not vegetarians! It's a big deal that the fish dies and the net is broken, and both sides lose. Haven't you heard the story of the poor rat and the civet? ”

Seeing that the other party's temper was quite hard, he refused to surrender, and the brown-faced man had no idea for a while.

If the house was full of old, weak, sick and disabled people like Liu Xie and Fu Wan, the thieves would have rushed in a long time ago.

But considering that there are still more than 30 sergeants with weapons in the house, if the other party resists desperately, there will be casualties on their own side, this scene is not what the brown-faced man wants to see.

So after a few thoughts, the brown-faced man didn't rush in on the spot, but stepped back, walked to a man wearing a white mask, and whispered to the other party.

It was about a minute before he returned to the field and said to Fu Wan:

"Well, our leader agreed. What do you want to talk about? ”

As long as they are willing to negotiate, everyone has hope of survival.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ahem, the old man's request is very simple, that is, I hope that the heroes will not harm our lives." Soon, Fushiwan made their request.

"This ...... It's not that hard! But first, you have to tell me, who are you? Where did you come from, where are you going? ”

"Good, good! Don't hide it, we are all merchants in Xuchang, and this time we are going to Luoyang to do business. Fu Wan said with a flattering face.

Hearing the word "merchant", the brown-faced man's tone immediately changed: "Oh? That must be rich, right? ”

"Well, yes, I brought some silver taels."

"How many?"

"Uh, add it together, to say the least, there are eight hundred and twenty ......"

As soon as he heard that there was so much silver, the brown-faced man immediately nodded with satisfaction, raised two fingers and said:

"Good! Then as long as the two conditions of us are met, I will let you go!

"Good, good! Hero, please speak. ”

"First, leave all your money and jewels behind, and don't take any of them with you! If we don't, we'll have to take it from your corpses. ”

"Well...... this"

After listening to the other party's request, Fu Wan did not answer directly, but turned his head and looked at Liu Xie behind him like a request.

After Liu Xie nodded in agreement, he replied loudly: "Okay!" We agree to this. Say the second one, please! ”

"As for the second one......"

In the middle of speaking, I heard the brown-faced man suddenly let out a wicked laugh:

"Hey, hey, hey...... All the women in the house, you must leave us behind! ”

"What?"

As soon as these words came out, I saw that everyone in the house was angry.

Clearly, the condition has exceeded their bottom line.

"This matter must not be mentioned, and the heroes do not need to mention it again!"

This time, he didn't even need to look at it, he knew that Liu Xie would definitely not agree, so he rejected the other party at the first time.

"Hehe, don't worry, we will never hurt their lives...... When we've had enough, we'll let them go. Hearing that the other party disagreed, the brown-faced man added.

"That's not going to work either! The old man would never agree, and invited a good man...... Let's change the conditions! ”

Seeing that the negotiations had reached an impasse again, the brown-faced man who was undecided had no choice but to step back again and whisper to the white-faced boy behind him.

And this time, they talked for a little longer.

It was about three minutes before the brown-faced man returned to the field:

"Ahem, the leader of my family said, for the sake of your willingness to give up your money, we can make a little concession."

Knowing that he could still make concessions, Fu Wan immediately raised his interest:

What do you mean by that? Is there no need for a woman to stay? ”

"That's not it!" The brown-faced man shook his head and replied:

"Our chief's meaning, not all the women should stay, but only ...... Five of you are fine! But I said ugly things ahead, we will not let these five go, and they will stay in our village forever in the future. ”

After hearing the conditions after the other party's "concession", although it was still not ideal, this time Fu Wan did not rush to refuse, but turned his head to look at Liu Xie behind him, he wanted to see the attitude of the saint first, and then make a decision.

Among the accompanying daughters, there were not only the families of the courtiers, but also the concubines whom Liu Xie loved deeply.

If all the women were given to the thieves, Liu Xie would definitely not agree.

Whoever loses, he doesn't want to lose his favorite concubine.

But now, listening to the other party's reduction of the number to five, it seems that Liu Xie is not so resistant.

After all, in their ranks, there were more than a dozen maids alone.

If a few little maids are sacrificed, they can return to the safety of everyone, which is still very worthwhile in Liu Xie's opinion.
