Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 2542 Messenger

Mu Rongyin was startled and at a loss, "What...what should I do?"

She is a mother, and she couldn't imagine how her son would react if he was kidnapped and the other party sent him a blood letter.

After her initial outrage, Ying Baoyue quickly calmed down. She stared at the bloody letter in her hand as if she were looking at a dead object.

"It says here the time and place for the hostage exchange."

Ying Baoyue spoke quietly, "Yun Zhongjun asked that at midnight three days later, at Baili Slope outside the White Wolf King's court, he would take you to exchange for Ji Qingyuan."

"Is that place far away? Should we set off today?" Mu Rongyin asked.

She knew that Ji Qingyuan was the son of the late Dasi Ming, and Ying Baoyue must be extremely anxious at this moment.

"No hurry." Ying Baoyue narrowed his eyes, his gaze extremely sharp, "Even if we want to exchange hostages, the time and place cannot be decided by him."

Exchanging hostages is a psychological game, and Yun Zhongjun is the best at playing with people's hearts. If they accept all the conditions proposed by Yun Zhongjun, they will completely lose the initiative.

"But……"

Mu Rongyin looked at the bloodstains on the letter and felt very uneasy.

Although she didn't understand what was happening on the battlefield, she vaguely realized in her heart that Ying Baoyue's side was at a disadvantage from the very beginning of this transaction.

The bargaining chips of both parties are not equal.

Yun Zhongjun can use Ji Qingyuan's safety to threaten Ying Baoyue, but Ying Baoyue cannot retaliate in the same way.

Ying Baoyue would not hurt her, and Yun Zhongjun knew this well.

Mu Rongyin suddenly felt a chill. It turned out that the general who delivered the letter was looking her up and down, and his eyes were not friendly.

"Is this the woman Yun Zhongjun wants?"

Ying Baoyue nodded.

"What are you going to do," Baili Celing asked, "Are you going to give one of this woman's fingers to Yun Zhongjun?"

Mu Rongyin opened her eyes wide, but did not tremble.

"Don't say such things," Ying Baoyue said without even looking up, "You'll scare her."

"I don't think she's that scared," Baili Celing withdrew his gaze, "A woman who has the courage to come here must be a heroine."

Mu Rongyin was stunned. She never thought that she would be associated with the term "heroine" in her life.

"There are plenty of corpses inside the pass now. If you just cut off a finger and send it over, I'm sure that old Yun Zhongjun won't be able to recognize it," Baili Celing stared at the blood letter, "He has already threatened you like this."

"This clumsy trick is just a test," Ying Baoyue said, "He is testing whether I have really come to Shanhaiguan."

"What if you arrive?"

"Then I will definitely not accept the threat," Ying Baoyue looked out the window, "I will propose other conditions."

"Celing, can you help me call Jiashu in?"

Ying Baoyue said, "I need his help with something."

"Only Chunhua Jun?" Baili Celing asked, "Where is my nephew?"

Ying Baoyue was silent for a moment, "Didn't you notice anything wrong with him?"

"She seems to be indifferent to people," Baili Celing held up his chin, "and she's holding a child. Is it yours?"

Ying Baoyue took a deep breath and wanted to kick this person out. "It's impossible. That's the transformation of Yinglong."

Time was limited, so she could only briefly tell Baili Ce Ling, "He is no longer the Li Ji you know. I will explain to you what happened later. Please call those two people in."

……

……

When the Azure Dragon God and Ji Jiashu came in together, the Azure Dragon God was still holding the child. Yinglong looked drowsy and lay on the shoulder of the man in green with his eyes closed.

"Put the child on the bed," Ying Baoyue glanced at the Azure Dragon God and handed the blood letter in his hand to Ji Jiashu.

The five of them sat around the table, and Ji Jiashu read the letter almost tremblingly.

"Brother, he..."

Ying Baoyue said, "It's uncertain whether he's dead or alive. I will do my best to find him, but..." She paused and looked at the blood letter in Ji Jiashu's hand, "From the moment Qingyuan was taken away, I will assume that he has been in trouble."

Ji Jiashu looked at Ying Baoyue in astonishment, and could hardly believe his ears.

"Boy, learn this," Baili Celing sighed and patted Ji Jiashu on the shoulder, "This is the correct attitude to face kidnapping. You are also a national teacher, you should understand."

When faced with kidnapping, if you take the life or death of the kidnapped person too seriously, there will be no good results.

Only by disregarding the other party's life and death can you avoid being constrained in the negotiation.

This time, Ying Baoyue is facing such a ferocious opponent as Yun Zhongjun. Baili Celing was originally worried that she would become confused due to her concern, but now it seems there is no need to worry.

Ji Jiashu could understand what the other party meant, but he still found it difficult to accept emotionally. He spoke with difficulty, "So Baoyue... do you want to exchange hostages with Yun Zhongjun?"

Ying Baoyue glanced at Mu Rongyin on the side, and the other party nodded firmly at her.

"exchange."

During the days on the road, Ying Baoyue had been contacting Shanhaiju to inquire about the whereabouts of the Zen temple, but to no avail.

Yun Zhongjun and Chun Yuye quickly retreated after the sneak attack, and neither Shanhaiju nor Yinchanwei could find the other party's hiding place.

If they do not agree to the hostage exchange, they will not be able to see Yun Zhongjun.

We can only lure the snake out of its hole.

Ying Baoyue took a deep breath and said, "Ce Ling, send a pigeon and ask Zhao Guang to reply immediately. We can exchange hostages with them, but the time and place must be decided by us."

The place that Yun Zhongjun mentioned in the blood letter was their territory, and the time was set at midnight.

At this time and in this place, it is impossible to say that the other party has no intentions.

Of course Ying Baoyue couldn't agree to him.

……

……

Baili Ce Ling left as ordered, and soon came back with a new blood letter.

Every time Ji Jiashu received a letter written in blood, he felt terrified.

The two sides continued to fight until the fourth time. On the morning of the fifth day, an uninvited guest appeared in front of Liuyun Tower.

"who!"

The guard downstairs shouted loudly, and everyone in the building woke up.

The other person was wearing a black cloak and appeared in front of Liuyun Tower silently. Everyone could see how he approached and he had already appeared.

"Take off the hood!"

The guards were facing a formidable enemy. The man in black slowly took off his hood, revealing a face covered in scars.

"you……"

The guard was horrified and was about to take action when a female voice came from above his head.

"Let him in."

Ying Baoyue stood upstairs, looking down at the face downstairs with a complicated expression.

The man in black walked into the room where Ying Baoyue was, facing the hateful gazes of everyone in the building, and sat down.

"I didn't know you were still alive."

Ying Baoyue looked at the Zen temple disciple, or the Zen temple elder, sitting in front of him.

"After the battle at Ganlu Palace, I never found your body in Afang Palace."

Because of the fire in the palace, many corpses were burnt. Yun Zhongjun and Chun Yu Ye did not take anyone with them when they escaped. She thought that all the remaining disciples of the Zen temple died in the fire.

But I never thought that someone could really be reborn.

"What did he send you for?"

Ying Baoyue looked at the person in front of him solemnly, "Chu Yan."

Chu Yan gave a tired smile, "He asked me to be his messenger to come and talk to you about a meeting."
