Above the stars

Because of the arrival of Fenghuang and Sheng Xinhuai, the image store of Jiuchongzi headquarters was cleared.

In addition to the founder and Li Hongyu, who is also the chief designer, there are only four corresponding female service staff on Jiuchongzi's side.

Li Hongyu knows that Fenghuang and Sheng Xinhuai don't like strange men to wander around under their noses, and they show that kind of flattering smile from time to time, which is full of plastic smell and greasy feeling.

However, this does not mean that they have not taken any security measures.

In addition to the security personnel that should be in the store, the princess also has a palace guard to be responsible for personal vigilance when she travels.

They are guarding the door at this moment.

Since this man broke in so unscrupulously, it proves that all security personnel and palace guards have failed.

Why didn't I hear any movement?

Li Hongyu's reaction was very fast. She rushed to Fenghuang in the first time and shouted angrily: "Who are you? How did you break in?"

Although everyone has a deep sisterly love, it is not so good that she can use her life to protect another person.

The main reason is that Fenghuang's identity is too special.

If Fenghuang gets into trouble in her store, then she won't have to open her store.

Because she doesn't know if she still has the life to run it.

So, if possible, she is willing to sacrifice herself to buy some time for Fenghuang.

Moreover, this man is so handsome

His facial features are delicate, his eyebrows and eyes are clear, and his clothes are snow-white.

He is like a handsome man who walked out of an ancient Chinese painting.

He shouldn't be cruel to her, right?

Li Hongyu still has a clear understanding of herself.

Although she doesn't have the elegance and nobility of Fenghuang, nor the fiery beauty of Sheng Xinhuai, she has her own intelligence and gentleness.

She is also a first-class beauty in Phoenix City, and there are countless suitors.

Other men can't help but soften their voices in front of her.

This man.

As long as he is not blind, he won't be harsh on himself, right?

Bai Wuxin raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Li Hongyu with some annoyance.

If possible, he really wanted to kill her with a sword.

It's all over.

Unfortunately, he had promised others not to kill innocent people.

So, Bai Wuxin flicked his sleeves, and Li Hongyu was blown away as if she had encountered a strong hurricane.

Crack!

Her body fell on a coffee table with a beautiful design. She was in so much pain that tears came out, and she couldn't get up for a long time.

For a woman like this, Bai Wuxin could beat a thousand or ten thousand.

He would beat as many as he could.

Not drawing the sword was his last mercy.

Mainly because her "crime" was not punishable by death.

While Li Hongyu was blown away, Sheng Xinhuai had already picked up the champagne bottle in the ice bucket.

As long as Bai Wuxin dared to get close, he was ready to cut Bai Wuxin's head open at any time.

Fenghuang patted Sheng Xinhuai's shoulder and motioned her to put down the bottle.

Sheng Xinhuai glared, and Fenghuang shook her head gently at her.

Neither of them needed to speak, just a few subtle expressions could tell what the other was thinking.

Sheng Xinhuai had no choice but to put the bottle on the table.

Fenghuang then turned her gaze to Bai Wuxin and said, "Shall we talk? I think, since you took such a big risk to come here, there must be something I can help you with, right?"

Fenghuang is also a cultivator, and her strength is quite good.

It is precisely because of this reason that she clearly knows the gap between herself and the man in white.

An expert knows whether there is any danger once he makes a move.

Resisting will only lead to death.

Not only will she die, but everyone present will die.

She can feel the chill on him.

It comes naturally, but it is everywhere.

That is murderous intent!

"Come with me to a place, there is something that needs your cooperation." Bai Wuxin said expressionlessly.

He did not treat Fenghuang well because of her noble status or beautiful appearance. On the contrary, because she is the daughter of Zhong Daolong, it aroused his anger.

It would be great if he could kill her with one sword.

"Where are we going?" Fenghuang asked.

She gently lifted the hair in front of her forehead, and she still remained firm and calm until now.

It was as if the person standing in front of her was not a top killer, but just a business partner who came to discuss business.

Always be calm when facing big things.

This is what her father said to her, and she has always kept it in mind.

"I know you must not want to answer my question." Fenghuang looked at Bai Wuxin and said, "But, for me, there is no difference between dying here and dying anywhere else."

"So, I am willing to help you, and you also need to ensure the personal safety of me and my friends. Do you think this is reasonable?"

Bai Wuxin's brows tightened.

Why does he like such a woman?

Too smart, not good.

He looked at Fenghuang and said seriously, "I won't kill you."

Fenghuang looked into Bai Wuxin's eyes, nodded, and said, "I believe you. I'll go with you."

"Phoenix."

Sheng Xinhuai held Fenghuang's hand and didn't let her leave.

Fenghuang patted the back of Sheng Xinhuai's hand and comforted him softly: "Before the bodyguards come, he has the ability to kill all of us."

"But if you go with him."

"It's okay." Fenghuang said with a smile: "He needs my help, and I'm sure he won't let me suffer any grievances."

"That won't work either." Sheng Xinhuai looked at Bai Wuxin and said, "I'll go with you. My father is the finance minister of the empire."

"No." Bai Wuxin refused.

What he wants to do, only Phoenix can help.

The financial minister's weight is not enough.

"Then I'll go with her." Sheng Xinhuai held Fenghuang's hand tightly and said without hesitation: "You have two hostages now."

"no."

Bai Wuxin refused again.

"You only have two choices." Sheng Xinhuai said aloud. "Either, let me go for her. Or, let us go together."

"I have a third option."

Bai Wuxin stretched out his hand and patted it, and a strong hurricane rushed towards him.

Sheng Xinhuai groaned and fainted.

In front of the young master, Sheng Huai, who was not familiar with martial arts, was as fragile as a leaf.

It's quiet.

This is the world Bai Wuxin likes.

"Please." Bai Wuxin made an invitation gesture.

Phoenix took a breath, and after confirming that Sheng Xinhuai was safe and sound, he stood up and followed Bai Wuxin outside.

——

Phoenix Palace.

Zhong Daolong knelt down in front of the Buddha statue to pray for the souls who were about to die.

He did not forgive them, but he hoped that Buddha would.

Let them have an afterlife and be good people.

After all, he was too kind.

At this moment, the thick rosewood door of the Buddhist hall was pushed open.

Chen Fenglei walked up to Zhong Daolong, squatted down, and whispered: "Master, the princess has been kidnapped."

Snap!

The incense stick in Zhong Daolong's hand broke.

He raised his head and glanced at the Buddha whose eyes were half-opened, sighed softly and said, "You are not good either."

After getting up and walking outside, Chen Fenglei quickly followed.

"Tell me, what happened? How could Phoenix be kidnapped?"

"His Royal Highness and Miss Sheng went to Jiuchongzi to choose clothes. Someone broke in and took away the princess. Miss Sheng was knocked unconscious. The police call came from Li Hongyu, the boss of Jiuchongzi."

"Where are those bodyguards? What do the palace guards do?"

"When Your Highness was traveling, there was indeed a group of people following him, but that person was so powerful that they were all knocked down before they had time to warn him."

"A bunch of trash."

"."

Chen Fenglei couldn't answer this.

Because he knows that he is also one of these "trash".

"What do they pray for?" Zhong Daolong asked aloud.

"We haven't been contacted yet."

"They will contact you." Zhong Daolong's face was gloomy: "Soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, the mobile phone on Chen Fenglei's wrist rang.

Chen Fenglei saw an unfamiliar number on the caller ID and immediately pressed the answer button in front of Zhong Daolong.

"Which one?"

"Mr. Chen," Fenghuang's voice came over: "They want to make a deal with my dad."

Zhong Daolong heard Phoenix's voice was very calm, and it seemed that he was in a safe state for the time being. Then he felt relieved and asked: "What deal?"

"Exchange the lives of those people with the life of Her Royal Highness the Princess." A cold voice came over.

"Who are you?"

No one answered.

"You should know the consequences of harming Phoenix."

Still no answer.

Zhong Daolong knew that it was impossible to tell a good story from these desperadoes.

Threats no longer have any meaning.

Even if this is a threat from a country's monarch.

Since they dare to do such a thing, they have already put life and death aside.

"I agree to this deal." Zhong Daolong said aloud: "I can let them go, but how can I confirm that you can guarantee the safety of my daughter?"

"Our character." The cold voice came again.

"."

——

"Personnel confirmation."

"Number of people confirmed."

"Time confirmation."

Staff from various departments summarize the information.

Shen Wuxiang looked at Guo Nu who was standing beside him and asked, "Is it almost time?"

"Yes." Guo Nu replied respectfully: "We can start on time at six o'clock."

Shen Wuxiang raised his wrist and looked at his watch. There were still three minutes left before the officially announced time.

Since he has already announced it to the public, he has no intention of advancing the time.

He can do that.

However, this is "transgression".

It will make many people feel uncomfortable.

"It's the last two minutes." A member of the Military Commission sighed softly and said with emotion: "It was a long, long time ago that criminals were executed on such a large scale."

"No, we are witnessing history again."

"Haha, I didn't have the chance to witness it last time. It's a pity."

——

Shen Wuxiang's face is as sinking as water.

He doesn't like to talk, and few people know what he's thinking.

Last minute.

Shen Wuxiang glanced at the time on his watch, cleared his throat, and prepared to issue the execution order.

At this moment, the confidential secretary ran over quickly holding a mobile phone.

"Military Prime Minister."

"What's the matter?" Shen Wuxiang asked.

It’s already this time, and you’re still asking yourself to answer the phone?

Do you have a brain?

"The king's phone number."

Shen Wuxiang's expression slightly condensed, and he immediately took the phone from the secretary.

Zhong Daolong called at this time, and he called himself.

Fear of accidents.

In other words, something unexpected has happened.

In a certain area he didn't know.

"My Lord."

"The execution is canceled." Zhong Daolong's majestic voice came over.

"My Lord." Shen Wuxiang's eyes were slightly cold, and he said in a hurry: "The three courts have already pronounced the verdict, the announcement has been issued, the square is full of people, and the audience across the country is waiting."

"If it is canceled at this time, will it damage the national law and the majesty of the king? Will it allow some people with ulterior motives to spread some bad rumors?"

He is the general person in charge of this trial and execution.

If it is canceled at this time, he will become the biggest laughing stock.

This will also hurt his face and shake his public trust.

"Phoenix was kidnapped by them." Zhong Daolong said.

"."

Shen Wuxiang had nothing to say.

He is a military minister and a minister.

He can't tell Zhong Daolong to put state affairs first and save the life of Her Royal Highness the Princess later.

Such words can't even be mentioned.

Zhong Daolong will hate you, the royal family will hate you, and the princess will hate you even more.

Shen Wuxiang will not do such a stupid thing.

Ding!

Six o'clock.

The time has come.

Shen Wuxiang sighed deeply and asked, "What's the reason?"

"Just say that when I was worshipping Buddha just now, I realized a Buddhist verse. Building a hundred Buddhist temples is not as good as saving one life. Saving the lives of people in the world."

"Saving a life is worse than building a seven-story pagoda."
