Chapter 634: Hostage Exchange
Liu Yun sat at the secret headquarters of the Blood Shadow Hall, and behind him stood ten Saint Martial Realm masters,
The emperor's order, coupled with ten masters, he smoothly took over the empire's largest secret organization,
The dozen or so people standing in front of him were all masters and helmsmen in charge of the imperial capital and surrounding things, and some people looked down on Liu Yun in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show it on their faces.
Liu Xun's biggest advantage is intelligence, and his biggest disadvantage is that he doesn't have soul power, and he is in charge of the Blood Shadow Hall as an ordinary person, which is the first time in the history of the Blood Shadow Hall.
If the emperor hadn't allocated him ten masters, it would be strange that these masters and helmsmen could listen to his orders.
A door master stepped forward and arched his hand and said, "Qiyu Hall Master, the things you explained have been done, the people of Shuntian Mansion will take Chu Yue, Lin Die, and the members of the Lin Clan's business group to the outside of the city, and they will release them at the time you request,"
"Very good," Liu Xun said in a deep voice, "How about letting you spread a big net in the city?"
A helmsman stepped forward: "Qiyu Hall Master, the disciples of the previous one are scattered in all corners of the city, pay close attention to the movements of each place, as long as Xiao Chen shows up, he has nowhere to hide,"
Liu Xun smiled: "Very good, you go and inform everyone, once you find Xiao Chen, don't rush to do anything with him, sending a signal is the most critical thing, we not only have to ensure the safety of the hostages, but also be sure to take Xiao Chen down, and the top ten guards will obey the order,"
The ten masters standing behind him spoke out at the same time: "Humble duty,"
"You are ready to attack at any time, set off as soon as you receive the signal, you must capture Xiao Chen, and if you encounter fierce resistance, you can kill him on the spot according to the situation,"
"Obedience to Duty,"
In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the high city walls,
Dozens of patrols from the Shuntian Mansion besieged the city, and in the middle of the circle were more than a dozen people from Chu Yue, Lin Die, and the Lin Clan's business group.
From the moment she was taken out of the city, Chu Yue was thinking about what these people were going to do, because her mouth was gagged, she could only make eye contact with Lin Die,
At this time, the patrol leader looked up at the sky and said, "When the time comes, let the brethren begin."
The patrolmen stepped forward together, and first pulled the cloth off their mouths,
Chu Yue ignored the numbness of her mouth and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Why do you ask so much, we are just acting on orders, and we have no obligation to answer the questions," the patrol officer snorted, "But I have to congratulate you, the order I received from this officer is to release people,"
"What, let us go," Lin Die's eyes widened,
Ever since she fell into the hands of the Huangji Sect, she has realized the danger of the matter, especially after her family members have also been arrested, this feeling has become more and more intense.
"That's right, I just let you go,"
"Why," Chu Yue asked again,
The patrol who claimed to be the official glanced at her and snorted: "I have no obligation to explain to you, but the good people do it to the end, and you in the province are kept in the dark, let me tell you the truth, Xiao Chen arrested more than a dozen executives, including the left and right prime ministers, forced the imperial court to exchange hostages with them, and released you just to ensure the safety of those big officials,"
The two women looked at each other, they didn't really believe in the words of the patrol, thinking that they might be a trap by doing so.
"Xiao Chen said, you think it's completely safe, and you will send him a signal that has been agreed on a long time ago," the patrol officer ordered his subordinates to untie them, and said, "Don't forget to send him a signal, brothers, let's go,"
Under their suspicious gaze, dozens of patrols quickly returned to the city gate,
Chu Yue frowned and looked around, sure that there was no one in ambush here, and said, "Die'er, how credible do you say this matter is?"
Lin Die replied: "Ten percent, Brother Chen has always been a person who does not play cards according to common sense, in order to save us, it is completely possible to capture the minister as a hostage and then exchange with the government,"
"Your analysis is not wrong, with his wisdom, of course he will not be stupid enough to come directly to save us, because the imperial court has already laid a net of heaven and earth," Chu Yue nodded: "Since this is the case, let's leave quickly,"
"Don't you send a signal to Brother Chen first?"
"It's not too late to wait for us to be sure that we are 100% safe, so as not to fall into the trap of the imperial court, there is no ambush here, but it does not mean that the farther places are also safe,"
Two quarters of an hour later, after running more than ten miles away, they were sure that there was no danger, Lin Die took out a signal flare and shot it into the sky, and green fireworks exploded in the air,
In the city, Xiao Chen, who was standing at the window, saw it clearly, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he said to himself: "It seems that it's time to leave,"
After speaking, he jumped out of the window with a light movement, and the fire attribute leaf martial soul quickly rose into the air, shooting flying needles in four different directions,
The flying needle hit the pile of flammable materials composed of firewood, grass and fire oil, and instantly ignited it and began to spread around.
Immediately afterwards, the four mansions were on fire at the same time,
A long lead was ignited by the fire located in the south, making a snorting sound, and the other end led to the courtyard where Xiao Chen was before,
The lead was connected to a dozen large fireworks bombs, shooting into the sky at the same time,
The combination of fire and fireworks immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding residents, who helped extinguish the fire while going to the government to report it.
Liu Xun soon came here, and the six Saint Martial Realm masters who arrived one step ahead of him found a basement in the courtyard where the fireworks were set off, and rescued more than a dozen kidnapped officials safely.
"You guys don't care about things here, immediately block the whole city and search for Xiao Chen," Liu Xun ordered,
"Hall Master, it's only now that the whole city is blocked, isn't it a little late, if I were Xiao Chen, I would have escaped a long time ago," one of the guards asked,
Liu Xun said confidently: "It's not too late at all, I'm sure he hasn't left the city yet, he must make sure that his people are safe, and then he will let go of the hostages, because he is afraid that we will play tricks, you guys will take action quickly, and you, go and notify the people of the major sects, so that they can also launch a search,"
"Yes,"
Xiao Chen really couldn't get out of the city, because the time was too fast,
Liu Yun had already made preparations, and the city was filled with thousands of sect masters, and if he was not careful, he would be discovered by those guys.
Moreover, he didn't expect Liu Xun's reaction speed to be so fast,
To be honest, he did underestimate the enemy,
This is a mistake that Liu Xun's opponents have often made since then, because he is an ordinary person, and he will be involuntarily despised by soul warriors with soul power, especially high-level soul warriors.
When Xiao Chen was still six streets away from the city wall, he saw three red signal flares explode in the air, and the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became tense.
He subconsciously wanted to get into the darkness, and suddenly someone on the other side shouted, "Who is it?"
"Huayin Sect disciple," he replied quietly,
"People from Huayinmen, why would you go out on the street alone, your companion," the other party asked again, and at the same time the sound of the weapon being unsheathed,
Obviously, he was suspected by the other party,
This is not surprising, the people in the sect received the news from the government, and almost all of them were scattered all over the street, and the key targets were people who appeared alone.
There are a total of six people on the other side, all of whom are at the level of the Xuanwu Realm, although it is easy to clean them up, but once they do it, they will attract more enemies, which is very unfavorable to themselves.
"The others have gone to dinner, I just came back from a friend's side, and I got the news that Xiao Chen may be there, go and inform the senior brothers," he replied in a calm tone,
