Chapter 279: Hostage-taking

Now, let's assume a scenario:

Two masked and knife-wielding robbers broke into the money village and hijacked the shopkeeper and steward inside, but they were arrested outside the door and surrounded by officials.

So, the head catcher shouted inward: "Immediately put down your arms and come out to surrender, I guarantee in the name of the old king next door that your stick can be beaten less than thirty times, and two more chicken legs will be added to the head-killing meal." ”

At this time, one of the masked robbers put a knife on the shopkeeper's neck and appeared: "Let your mother's fart, Lao Tzu has a hostage in his hands!" ”

"Hostages?" The headcatcher sneered and beckoned.

In response to the call of the head catcher, several men, women and children with blue noses and swollen faces appeared on the stage.

"Hostage with Lao Tzu?" The face of the head catcher changed, and he said fiercely: "Lao Tzu has more hostages than you!" ”

When the masked robber saw it, he fell to his knees: "Dad! Mother! Wife! Son! ”

The robbery was successfully solved......

That's right, now I feel exactly the same as the masked robber.

"They held pleasure hostage?" Yang Yu said in horror.

"And Lin Zhenxiao." I added.

Although Lin Zhenxiao is also a bigwig-level figure, it is not surprising that he was caught when there are more than a dozen wizards on the other side.

"Grab him, so we have two hostages too." Yang Yu whispered in my ear.

Naturally, he was referring to lean men.

"It's useless." I shook my head and said, "In the eyes of wizards, it's not a pity that an ordinary wizard like him dies ten thousand, right?" ”

While this may be an exaggeration, the fact that it was an ordinary wizard and not any wizard who came in to negotiate speaks for itself.

"The guests are really smart." The thin man smiled, "My little life is also worthy of washing the feet of wizards, so ......"

"Wait." I gritted my teeth and said, "You say there are hostages, you have hostages, huh?" You've got to show me, right? ”

"No problem." The lean man nodded and shouted a local word outside the door.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Debris sprayed and the four walls of the cabin flew apart, leaving only a slick piece of floor.

I looked around.

Around the hut, in addition to dozens of ordinary villagers armed with torches, there were more than a dozen strange-looking people - there was no doubt that they were the wizards of the Blue Witch Village.

What is Witcher?

Generally speaking, a wizard is like a master of Lin Zhenxiao's level: whether he is in charge of a village, or he controls an army, or he is entrenched in a mountain forest, all of them are sharp people who can take charge of themselves.

In other words, it is unbelievable that there are more than a dozen wizards living in this Blue Witch Village with a population of more than 100 people.

Not to mention, behind the wizards, there is a great wizard.

It is said that in the entire witch world, the number of great wizards does not exceed ten, and their authority has reached the level of turning their hands into clouds and turning their hands into rain.

One big wizard, more than a dozen wizards, all crammed into a small village......

What went wrong?

Just as I was thinking about it, many witch villagers silently parted to the sides, and a huge figure slowly appeared.

Great Wizard Cloth!

"Young man, it's not okay to sleep well at night." The Great Wizard Bu said hehehe.

In his two giant hands, like an eagle catching a chicken, each carrying a person.

Needless to say, it was naturally Lian Huanyu and Lin Zhenxiao.

Both of them were conscious, but they were cuffed by five iron pillar-like fingers, completely unable to move.

"Grand Wizard Cloth." I said coldly, "With your status and status, it's too embarrassing to personally deal with the two juniors, right?" ”

"Speak as if you're of high seniority." The Great Wizard Buhaha laughed.

Don't say it, if you have to count it, my rank in the rivers and lakes is really not low.

To what extent?

Peers of the Talon King!

You think, although the Eagle Claw King is old, he has to be honored as a senior when he sees Granny Yao.

And I'm a close disciple of Granny Yao.

The truth is that in the village, a young man in his twenties still has to call a doll in open crotch pants uncle, or even uncle.

Of course, this is of no avail......

The Great Wizard Bu finished laughing, and his face immediately sank: "Could it be that a few little mice came to my house to steal oil and eat, and I still have to watch from the side?" ”

"Of course you should fight for stealing oil." I shrugged my shoulders and said, "Well, we're not here to steal oil, we're here to deliver oil!" ”

"Dare to talk nonsense?" The Great Wizard said angrily, "You think I don't know what you just said in the house? ”

I glanced at the wizards in the jar and began to understand that there must be some secret means of communication between them.

"I still say that...... I'm here to do business. I secretly said in my heart that it was not good, but I naturally couldn't show weakness on my lips: "If there is something that can't be solved by silver, then use gold!" ”

"Oh?" Hearing my words, Grand Wizard Bu's eyes narrowed.

The money offensive really worked!

After all, the status of a great wizard is so prominent, although the daily expenses of being nestled in such a small mountain village must be huge.

As the saying goes, 'sit and eat empty', even if they move here with a lot of savings, after a long time, I am afraid that they will bottom out.

If you want to make money...... How much can you earn with just one Black Skin Ridge?

So the allure of money to the Great Wizard Cloth may be greater than I imagined.

"Then exchange a hundred catties of gold for one person." The Grand Wizard preached.

A hundred pounds of gold, that's ......

I did a quick math on my toes.

A full 100,000 taels of silver!

And two more!

Two hundred thousand taels!

After taking a careful inventory, the money I earned from Wan Yushen was only 30,000 or 50,000 taels (not counting the jasper gossamer ring).

How can it withstand this kind of toss?

"Okay." I guess my face at this time is extremely ugly, "But the great wizard should understand that it is impossible for a normal person to carry so much gold on his body, so ......"

"So you're going back and get it?" The Grand Wizard preached.

"Yes." I nodded.

"Of course not!" Grand Wizard Bu flatly refused.

"No, then where did I get the gold for you?" The veins on my forehead jumped.

"That's your problem, how do I know?" The Great Wizard Bu threw Lian Huanyu and Lin Zhenxiao to the ground, and two wizards rushed over and clamped them down.

What a domineering wizard!

Is he a fool?

Of course not.

Even if it were me, I guess I would do it.

Put a person back, what will happen?

Most likely, this is the scenario that was assumed at the beginning of this episode!

Although the Great Wizard Bu was greedy, his heart was very bright: this Black Leather Ridge was not his real territory after all, and once they provoked the anger of the public, their fate would be very miserable.

Other words...... The hundred pounds of gold he proposed was just a pretense, and the purpose was only to test and see how much benefit could be squeezed out of me.

He had no intention of letting us out alive!
