The woman's answer is correct, or at least partly correct. Concubine Yan can indeed only control the Phantom Sound Box to a limited extent. This is what she told Gu Xun herself.
Based on this inference, this woman should indeed not have this ability.
In fact, Gu Xun knew this, and even some of the questions asked before, but he still interrupted the other party many times in order to test whether the other party was deliberately deceiving him.
After all, she has been imprisoned for so many years, and it is impossible to know how much Gu Xun knows about Canglong Qisu and Donghuang Taiyi's plan, and there may be flaws.
Although Gu Xun feels that it may not be of much use, it doesn't hurt to test it out. It's just a matter of saying a few more words.
Gu Xun, who once again received a satisfactory answer, waved his hand again, signaling the woman to continue.
The other party was also used to being interrupted, so he continued expressionlessly:
"Only my daughter can control the Phantom Sound Box, but there are some things that both she and I can do."
"For example?" Gu Xun asked smoothly, but he already had an answer in his heart.
"Fuso Sacred Tree!"
Sure enough, this is the answer.
The woman's voice continued, "Owners of the Feng family originating from the gods can use the dragon's air as a medium to activate the power of the Fuso tree."
"I guess this is where my usefulness lies."
"If that's the case, can't your daughter do it too?" Gu Xun frowned and questioned.
"So... this is just a guess on my part." The woman replied, "Maybe I have other uses, maybe more conditions are needed to activate the power of the Fuso tree, or maybe... I have no use, Donghuang Taiyi is
I want to use this to mislead others."
"There may be too many, I can only make the judgment that I think is the most reasonable."
"Hmm..." Regarding this answer, Gu Xun was noncommittal. He kept walking for a moment and fell into deep thought.
After a long time, he stopped and turned to look at the woman, "I have one last question."
The woman did not answer the question happily this time, but asked Gu Xundao, "My value should have been reflected, right?"
The implication is that Gu Xun also expresses his sincerity.
Gu Xun wasn't angry at the woman asking for a price. It was a deal that was agreed upon and it was normal.
"You should understand that the reason why the mirage came into being was because Donghuang Taiyi successfully bewitched Ying Zheng. Now the smooth sailing of the mirage is what Ying Zheng is most concerned about. As the national advisor of the Qin State, I cannot stop this.
, so I can’t let you go directly now.”
The woman didn't say anything or put forward any conditions, quietly waiting for Gu Xun to take the initiative to make the bid.
Seeing this, Gu Xun said directly, "I can make you a promise and let you go when the time is right, and even reunite you with your daughter, but not now."
"As for when exactly it will be, I can't say for sure. I can only guarantee that when I rescue you, your daughter will definitely be safe and sound."
"I also want to make it clear in advance that when I rescue you, there is a high probability that the mirage has already sailed into the sea, so your descendants will still be on the mirage after you escape. I am not responsible for solving the problems of the Yin and Yang family."
"Of course, this is the promise I can give at the moment. If you can provide more valuable information, you can make more requests. Except for the time, which I cannot advance, everything else can be discussed." p>
"I guarantee that you will be safe and sound after you get out of trouble, that you can reunite with your daughter safely, that the Yin and Yang family will never cause trouble to you again, that you mother and daughter can live peacefully in the future... I can do all of these, as long as you
Can give a sufficient price."
After hearing Gu Xun's words, the woman was silent for a long time, as if she was thinking about it in her heart, and finally spoke:
"Your Excellency is the Qin State Master who is regarded by the people in the world as the best master in the world. He is also the most trusted minister of Ying Zheng, so I am willing to believe that you can fulfill your promise."
"But... these promises are just empty words to me. I have no reason to believe that you will fulfill them. I just want freedom, freedom that can be obtained immediately!"
"I always keep my promises." Gu Xun could only respond to the woman's doubts.
The woman didn't reply, but shook her head firmly, obviously still unwilling to accept a blank check.
Gu Xun was very embarrassed to see this.
Although one of his principles in life is to promise a thousand pieces of gold, but after all, unlike Ji Bu, his reputation is spread all over the world, and he cannot convince others purely by his name.
What's more, for this woman who has been imprisoned for many years, it will be difficult for Ji Bu to come.
Writing a bad check is indeed not a good choice, but he has no other choice!
Ying Zheng will never allow any mistakes to be made in the mirage's departure. He can't just let people go under any circumstances now!
Although people are being held secretly and people may not know if they are released, who can say for sure?
This woman's information is valuable, but at present it is not enough to make him pay the price of completely breaking up with Ying Zheng. If he were to let her go directly, this transaction would be a big loss for him.
"In short, my price is only a promise, you... Anyway, there will be some time, you can think about it again, I hope you will change your mind next time."
After thinking about it for a long time, Gu Xun, who still had no other options, decisively decided to put it aside for the time being, intending to let the other party know before talking.
If the other party is really stubborn... then let's talk about it then.
If necessary, Gu Xun does not want to engage in any operations such as torture to extract confessions, or mind-reading - he is not good at the former, he does not like the latter, and neither may be effective on this woman.
If we can reach a settlement, it is better to reach a settlement.
After finishing his words, Gu Xun did not hesitate and turned around to leave the cage.
When the woman saw Gu Xunzhen, she had no intention of compromising and became a little anxious.
Gu Xun's words only said that he would let her think about it... which meant that he himself would not give in at all.
If that's the case, what else does she have to think about?
There is no other choice but to bow your head and compromise. A promise is at least better than nothing.
It's nothing more than agreeing now, or delaying it for a few days before agreeing.
Of course, she can also try to spend a few days with Gu Xun to see if she can force the other party to give in.
But she doesn't want to gamble.
What if the other person leaves and never comes back?
Nowadays, she knows nothing about the situation in the outside world. At most, she can guess that Qin may be close to unifying the world at this time, or may have already achieved this, but she doesn't know much more.
Is Gu Xun’s position still strong?
Are he and the Yin Yang family still hostile?
What is the relationship between Yan Fei and him now?
Wait wait wait...
There are too many possible changes.
Although Gu Xun sounded very sure when she made those promises, as if it was easy and foolproof, how did she know that the other party was really that powerful?
Maybe if Gu Xun left, he would be discovered by the Yin Yang family immediately, and then he would be punished by Ying Zheng, and he would never come back?
Or maybe after going out, you suddenly don’t want to talk anymore, and simply don’t come again.
All she can do is to do her best to negotiate today no matter what the conditions are.
