The Iron Blood Alliance was faced with various considerations, and finally decided to spend money to eliminate the disaster and no longer continue to fight to the death with Gu Xun.
After all, this matter has only happened between them so far and has not been known to others. Even if the Iron Blood Alliance takes a step back, in the eyes of others, it is just the Iron Blood Alliance uncharacteristically guaranteeing a business contract without losing face.
Inside, the Iron Blood Alliance paid some money to save the lives of a large number of masters, stopped losses in time, and barely managed to save some face.
In this way, it is good both inside and outside, so it is not surprising that they made this choice.
However, despite choosing to bow their heads, the Iron Blood Alliance still found a top expert to complete the hostage redemption. On the one hand, they were afraid that the person who went there was weak and the other party would take advantage of it, so they tied him up again and asked for more money. On the other hand, they
It's to show off our muscles and show the other side that we are not without masters, but we just feel that continuing to fight is not a good thing for both of us. This is why adults take the initiative to take a step back to show friendship.
Well, it is normal for a mature and powerful force to have these operations.
Gu Xun didn't know the decision made within the Iron Blood Alliance, but looking at the attitude of the person in front of him, he could roughly guess that the Iron Blood Alliance probably chose to retreat.
And Gu Xun can see it, and Zi Nu can also see it.
As the host, Zi Nu took out a new teacup, poured a cup of tea for this man, and said politely: "Use it slowly."
It doesn't matter whether this person's attitude towards her is good or not. She has never seen any weird customers, and she has faced all the bad attitudes, and she is not affected at all.
Gu Xun narrowed his eyes slightly and decided to find a reason to beat him up later, of course he had to wait for the money.
"Since you don't wear a mask like everyone else, you won't mind telling us your name, right?"
"A certain Chen He!" The visitor, Chen He, replied angrily.
"Chen He?" Gu Xun had never heard of this name. It didn't appear in the anime he watched today or in modern times, so he turned his eyes slightly and looked at Zi Nu.
She is well-informed and may know.
Unfortunately, Zi Nu understood what Gu Xun meant. Unfortunately, she had never heard of this name, but what ‘Chen’ said...
"I wonder where you come from?" Zi Nu asked tentatively.
"Of course they come from the east." Facing Zi Nu, Chen He's tone became a little more aggressive.
Gu Xun felt baffled. Even if you looked down on someone else's strength, you wouldn't have such an attitude, right? She is a beauty after all, is it possible...!!!
Thinking of some social customs from the Warring States Period that he occasionally heard about in modern times, Gu Xun silently moved his position and leaned back, trying to put as much distance between him and Chen He as possible.
Zi Nu didn't know that Gu Xun's thoughts were going astray. She was thinking to herself. She already had a guess about Chen He's identity:
"Tian Chen clan, you are from the Qi royal family?!"
"Hmph!" He snorted very proudly, undoubtedly acquiescing to Zi Nu's guess.
Regarding this incident, Zi Nu was obviously more surprised than Gu Xun. After all, she didn't know the relationship between the Iron Blood Alliance and the Six Kingdoms.
Gu Xun just sighed in his heart. The Iron Blood Alliance was indeed very close to the royal families of the six kings, and could even send a member of the Qi royal family to do things for him.
What surprised Gu Xun was that the Qi royal family actually had such a master.
But that's not important. You won't be able to skip the beating later.
"I wonder if it would be convenient for me to tell you your status and position in the Iron Blood Alliance?" Gu Xun was a little curious. As a member of the royal family, what will be his status?
Facing Gu Xun, Chen He's attitude changed and became a little gentler. "I am here to serve as a worshiper, not as a post. I occasionally handle some difficult matters for the alliance."
"Oh, then it seems that this matter has been considered a difficult incident." Gu Xun smiled playfully, with a rather complacent look on his face.
Chen He was not dissatisfied with Gu Xun's arrogant attitude, but instead said:
"It is indeed inappropriate for our alliance to provoke you this time. It is a bit reckless. We should not be so rude to treat a master like you."
It feels like he is saying something sarcastic to ridicule the other person, but both Gu Xun and Zi Nu can see that this person really thinks so.
The co-author sent a strength supremacist from the Iron Blood Alliance... Well, that may not be accurate, but he is probably someone who believes that the strong should be respected.
This time it’s Gu Xun’s turn to be more strange. I didn’t expect that there are people with this kind of personality. Zi Nu is more accepting of it. Compared with all kinds of weirdos, Chen He’s one is just like that.
Here Chen He continued:
"For this misunderstanding, our alliance is willing to pay 20,000 gold as an apology to ease the relationship between the two parties and to express our gratitude (here thank means an apology)."
Instead of mentioning the ransom, he said it was a gift, acting as if it was given to Gu Xun on his own initiative for reconciliation, rather than being forced to pay the ransom.
Well, this operation is normal.
Gu Xun didn't go out of his way to be serious. He only cared about whether the other party paid or not. As for what name he used, it didn't matter, as long as he didn't take advantage of him.
They also brought money.
Ten people from the Iron Blood Alliance each carried a large box and followed Chen He. The box had been placed not far from the door for a long time. The lids were also opened. Under the direct sunlight, it was blinding.
Golden light.
If he hadn't seen the money, how could Gu Xun have let him sit down and chat with him, and he would have beaten him up long ago.
After finishing speaking, Chen He stood up and walked to the door. He stretched out his hand slightly and said, "Two thousand gold per box, totaling twenty thousand gold. Mr. Gu can find someone to count."
"No need." Gu Xun waved his hand, rarely being polite, "I still have this little trust in Guimeng, so there is no need to check the number."
Then, Gu Xun also stood up and walked outside the house, "Let's go, I will take you to pick up someone."
He had a good attitude and paid readily, so Gu Xun couldn't find trouble, so he had no choice but to let him go.
After a while, all the hostages were carried away by the people of the Iron Blood Alliance.
These people have been tied up for the past few days, and they haven't eaten much. They even drank a little water. They are so weak that they can't stand at all, and they have to rely on others to carry them.
But Chen He hasn't left yet, which is exactly what Gu Xun wants, he wants to beat him up.
One code equals another. Although Chen He's attitude towards him was good, unfortunately, his attitude towards Zi Nu was too bad, so this beating was unavoidable.
Anyway, this person seems to be a master who values martial arts very much. As long as Gu Xun uses martial arts as a reason to make friends and compete with each other, he can be willing to fight with him.
Coincidentally, Chen He thought so too.
I saw the other party cupping his fists at Gu Xun, "To be honest, Chen wants to compete with Mr. Gu."
"Ah?" Gu Xun exclaimed, what is this? It's so considerate, I don't even need to mention it, I sent it to him for a beating.
However, Gu Xun's momentary surprise caused Chen He to misunderstand. He hurriedly explained: "Mr. Gu, please don't misunderstand. The grudges between our alliance and Mr. Gu have been completely settled. If there is an opportunity in the future, we can still cooperate. The martial arts competition is entirely Chen's fault."
