Chapter 414 Killing the hostage?

Chapter 414 Killing the hostage?
Phoenix Palace.

The door of the Taiji Hall opened, and Yan Wenli was the first to walk out from the inner room.

Tang Fei hurried over and said, "Dean."

The referendum at the Empire Square had just ended, and a group of bigwigs got in their cars and rushed here.

Yan Wenli waved at Tang Fei, and Tang Fei followed him over.

But he was of low status and had no right to enter to discuss matters.

However, he always showed a serious and curious look, as if he was wondering if something big had happened.
If you don't care about anything, you are either heartless or you think nothing is new.

None of this fits with Tang Fei's personality and situation.

"Get in the car first." Yan Wenli waved his hand, indicating that this was not the place to talk.
-
Tang Fei nodded, and the two of them walked towards the underground parking lot together.

After getting in the car, Yan Wenli rubbed his painful temple and said, "Phoenix has been kidnapped."

"What?" Tang Fei was shocked. "Doesn't she live in the palace? How could she be kidnapped?"

While talking, Tang Fei started to call Fenghuang.

Unfortunately.

The phone is turned off.

I called again, but the phone was still turned off.

He was about to call Sheng Xinhuai's number again, but was stopped by Yan Wenli.

"Don't be impulsive. The matter is being resolved. If you keep asking around, you'll cause a big uproar."

Tang Fei was extremely anxious. He looked at Yan Wenli and said, "Dean, what happened? Fenghuang is a princess of the empire. How could she be kidnapped? Who did it?"

Yan Wenli looked at Tang Fei sideways, as if he was thinking about something.

After a long while, he finally spoke to comfort her: "Don't worry, they have something to ask of the royal family, so I don't think they will harm Phoenix."

"who are they?"

Bandit Tang seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "So, those people were not executed tonight because the Phoenix was robbed?"

"Yes, they kidnapped Phoenix and used the princess as hostage to demand that the Empire release the more than 7,000 death row prisoners."

"The princess is a royal concubine and is deeply loved, so the king suddenly withdrew his murderous intentions and chose to make a deal with them."

"Even if those people were put aside temporarily, they would be killed when the princess was rescued" Tang Fei questioned, "Why would they do such a stupid thing?"

"According to the time calculation, the prisoners have now been sent to the Old Land."

"Old soil?"

"Isn't this the best choice? That kind of place is out of reach for the Empire, and it is impossible for them to start a war just for a few prisoners."

"So, if they go to the old land, they will have a chance of survival. Whether they can survive depends on their luck."

Tang Fei nodded and said, "It is indeed the best choice to tell them. Should they release the Phoenix now?"

"Yes." Yan Wenli nodded and said, "They should let Fenghuang go."

"Where is Phoenix now?"

"do not know."

"How could they not know?" Tang Fei was confused: "We released the prisoners, shouldn't they release the prisoners?"

"That's what I said," Yan Wenli said helplessly, "but we don't know where they took the princess. If they don't let her go, we can only wait, right?"

"What if they don't let go?"

"Then wait to be wiped out."

"Isn't the result the same whether they release the phoenix or not?" Tang Fei said.

Even if they release the Phoenix, will the Empire choose to forgive them?

How could we allow such a group of rebels who dared to kidnap the princess and threaten the royal family to remain alive?

"Yes." Yan Wenli said as a matter of course: "So, whether they will release the Phoenix is still unknown."

"."

It seems that the threat from our side is no threat at all?

Focus on the character of a person who trusts the rebel party?
Yan Wenli looked worried and asked, "Do you think they will let him go?"

Tang Fei pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "If I were a rebel, I wouldn't let him go. The result will be the same anyway, so why bother?"

"Yes." Yan Wenli nodded and said, "If I were a rebel, I would not let him go. Anyway, their purpose is to seek revenge, so why not collect a little interest first?"

"Phoenix is in danger." Tang Fei's face looked extremely ugly.

"Yeah. Phoenix is in danger."

"Didn't Chen Fenglei find any information about the rebels?"

"If so," Yan Wenli said with a mocking smile, "Will we be so passive?"

"This waste."
-
The old man hung up the phone, looked at Bai Wuxin who was sitting opposite him and said, "They have arrived safely in Jiutu."

Bai Wuxin was obviously relieved, and his usually cold eyes showed some emotional fluctuations.

This time, not only the more than 7,000 orphans and staff of Sunshine Welfare Home were sent away, but also his master He Xiaohua.

He was rescued and adopted by He Xiaohua, who taught him swordsmanship
She is very strict with Bai Wuxin, even harsh and cruel.
However, Bai Wuxin did not blame her or resent her.

My heart is filled with gratitude.

Being alive is already a great gift from heaven.

Who have the right to complain about whether the rice is raw or the vegetables are salty?

This is asshole behavior.

He Xiaohua is not only Bai Wuxin's master, but also a relative and a family member.

It is an existence that transcends countless relationships. So, after learning that He Xiaohua was arrested, he risked his life and rushed to Jiuchongzi alone, bringing back the little princess of the Phoenix Empire, Zhong Yuxiuxue.
"The hostage's mission has been completed and he can be killed," the old man said again.

"what?"

Bai Wuxin stared at the old man with eyes wide open.

"killed?"

"Kill him." The old man nodded: "Don't kill him and keep him for the New Year?"

"No." Bai Wuxin refused and said, "We made a deal. I will let her go when Master is safe."

"If you don't go, I will."

The old man stood up and prepared to kill someone.

Kill the Phoenix.

The Phoenix must die.

If she lives, countless people will be in danger.

choke!
Bai Wuxin unsheathed the sword in his hand and blocked the old man.

The old man's eyes were slightly stern. He stared at Bai Wuxin and said, "Have you figured out our identities? We are the rebels, the mortal enemies of the royal family. What reason do we have to release the hostages? And they are the descendants of the imperial princess Zhong?"

"What? You want to use this to win the Phoenix Empire's Five Good Behaviors and Four Beautiful People Award? If they dare to give it to you, do you dare to claim it?"

"If we kill her, how are we going to explain to the bandit Tang?" Bai Wuxin refused to give in and retorted.

"An explanation? Killing her is the best explanation for him." The old man sneered and said, "Killing the hostage is to protect him. If we let her go, we will really put him in danger."

"He doesn't think so."

"His thoughts are not important. What we have to do is to absolutely guarantee his safety. Everyone can sacrifice, including you and me."

Bai Wuxin was shaken for a moment.

He knew the old man was right.

However, he still shook his head and said, "No. I can't let you kill anyone without his consent."

"You know his character. He won't agree."

"Then we won't kill."

"What? You don't even listen to me?"

"You said we only have one master."

"."

The old man stared at Bai Wuxin gloomily and said in a deep voice: "What if I must kill him?"

"You can't kill him."

"."
-
Bang!
The heavy iron door was pushed open from the outside.

Phoenix, sitting upright on the chair, narrowed his eyes slightly. He hadn't seen the light for a long time.

After the phone call, she was locked in this tin house.

There are no windows and the iron door is locked.

All his cultivation was imprisoned and there was no chance of escape at all.

Of course, even if she still has her skills, she won't run away easily.
That's stupid behavior.

Because she knew that in the hidden corners, there must be countless pairs of eyes staring at her.

Moreover, with masters like the young man in white here, any struggle or resistance would only bring humiliation to oneself.

She is a princess of the imperial family. She is particular about appearances and is more careful about the pros and cons.

Seeing Bai Wuxin standing at the door, Fenghuang smiled faintly and asked, "Are they all saved?"

"Yes." Bai Wuxin nodded and said, "According to our request, they were sent to the old land."

"That's great." Phoenix looked pleased.

She also didn't want so many people to be executed, so she even went to persuade her father about this matter.

It was precisely because of the failure of persuasion that she was in a bad mood and made an appointment with Sheng Xinhuai to go to Jiuchongzi
Bai Wuxin looked at Fenghuang and thought that she was indeed different from the royal family.

Moreover, with his ability as a young master in judging people, he knew that the smile on her face was from the heart.

She was really happy that those "rebels" were saved.

Fenghuang looked at Bai Wuxin and asked, "Since your friend has arrived in the old land, can I go back according to our agreement?"

Phoenix was extremely nervous when he asked this question.

Because this is not a fair deal.

They took me hostage, and the royal bargaining chip was sent to the old land.
If they want to break the contract, we have no checks and balances.

Life and death all depend on the other person's thoughts.

It's ridiculous that my life depends on the credibility of these traitors.

"Yes." Bai Wuxin didn't keep Fenghuang waiting for long, and promptly gave her the answer she wanted: "I'll take you away right now."

There was a gleam in Phoenix's eyes.

Then it became dim again.

After a moment's silence, he said, "Thank you."
