Although this man suffered the tragedy of extermination, he was still able to face me calmly and rationally, and he was finally not a reckless man.

My life can be temporarily saved.

However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard someone beside him say, "Brother, since he has arrested this woman, can you go to the prefecture to negotiate with Zhou's surname and let them release everyone?"

The elder brother pondered for a moment and didn't say anything.

No one around said anything, and the room suddenly fell into silence.

I looked at them by my side and understood in my heart that these people knew that they were the most ordinary people at a glance. They would not really have ambitions to rebel, and they often had their fists faster than their brains when doing things. Although this big brother seemed calm and rational, he might not be able to come up with any wonderful ideas when things came to an end.

Just as they were silent, I said softly: "It's not that easy to negotiate."

In an instant, everyone's eyes looked at me.

One of the young men immediately pointed at me and scolded, "You don't have the say here!"

"Wait a minute," the "big brother" reached out to stop him, turned to look at me: "What do you mean by what you just said?"

I barely supported myself and sat up against the wall a little more, then said, "I don't know how many of you have, but it seems that no matter how many of your people, it's limited. Otherwise, you would have gone to the dungeon of the government office to save people, instead of tied me to exchange for your family, right?"

These people looked at each other, as if I had hit the pain point, and they didn't say anything.

The big brother's brows were also twisted into a lump, and his eyes were staring at me like a torch.

I continued, "Since there are not many people, then go directly to the prefecture to negotiate with them to die."

The impulsive young man among them immediately said, "We have you in our hands!"

I said, "They also have your relatives."

“…”

"With evenly matched, they are afraid of the enemy. Do you have any concerns? The government office is their place. They have the final say on what they have to do and what arrangements they have to make. Isn't it just to die if you go to negotiate rashly?"

The young man said, "What are you afraid of? We have some people—"

"Xiao Zhong!"

Before he could finish his words, the elder brother stopped him. Xiao Zhong seemed to have reacted and hurriedly shut up.

I smiled slightly in my heart.

Of course, I never doubted that they had an insider in the government office, otherwise there would not be a black shadow outside my window that night, and they would not have had a clear understanding of my situation in Huai'an Mansion.

I pretended not to understand and continued: "If both sides are hostile forces, then negotiations cannot be on the territory of either side. This is the most basic guarantee and security."

“…”

"Besides, even if there is no problem when going to negotiate, what after the negotiation is over? Even if you do what you want, I will exchange it with your family. What else do you have in your hands? No guarantee will be left! The gates of Huai'an City are closed, and it is easier to kill you than now. You can kill all your family in one fell swoop and eradicate them!"

The people around him were so scared that their eyes widened.

This big brother is obviously more cautious than the people around him. He frowned and looked at me: "Why are you telling us this?"

I said, "I don't want to die here either."

His brows frowned even more, and his eyes were staring at me as if he wanted to see through me.

I just let him watch it calmly. The two of them looked at each other for a long time. He finally said, "Then what should we do first?"

I immediately said, "If I were you, I wouldn't go to negotiate rashly, but I would send them a letter first. At least I should explore the other party's bottom and figure out the other party's attitude. In this way, I can do the next step."

The people looked at each other again, and someone was whispering: "It seems that it makes sense."

The elder brother also pondered for a while, and then said, "Xiao Zhong, go and do what she said."

"yes."

The little clock was about to leave, and he said again: "Be careful when sending messages, especially on the way back, don't be followed."

"yes!"

Seeing that those people were about to leave, I sat on the stone bed and suddenly felt a faint pain coming from my abdomen.
