Above the stars

Phoenix Palace.

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

Tang Bandit hurriedly greeted him and said, "Dean."

The referendum in the Imperial Plaza had just ended, and a group of big guys got in their cars and rushed here.

Yan Wenli waved his hand to Tang Bandit, and Tang Bandit followed.

It's just that he is "a man of small talk" and is not qualified to enter to discuss matters.

However, he always showed a solemn and curious expression of "Is something serious happening?"

If you don't care about anything, you are either heartless or you don't think it is very novel.

This is not in line with the character and situation of the Tang bandits.

"Get in the car first." Yan Wenli waved his hand, indicating that this was not the place to talk.

——

Tang Bandit nodded, and the two of them walked towards the underground parking lot together.

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

"What?" Tang Bandit was shocked: "Isn't she living in the palace? How could she be kidnapped?"

While talking, Bandit Tang started dialing Fenghuang's number.

It's a pity.

The phone is switched off.

Tried again, still turned off.

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

"Don't be impulsive. The matter is being resolved. If you ask around like this, it will cause trouble all over the city."

Tang Bandit was worried and looked at Yan Wenli and said, "Dean, what happened? Phoenix is ​​the princess of the empire, how could she be kidnapped? Who did it?"

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

After a long time, he finally spoke out to comfort him: "Don't worry, they are asking for help from the royal family, and they won't hurt Phoenix even if they think about it."

"who are they?"

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

"Yes, they kidnapped Phoenix, held the princess as hostage, and demanded that the empire release the more than 7,000 death row prisoners."

"The princess is so beloved that she suddenly withdrew her murderous intention and chose to make a deal with them."

"Even if those people let go temporarily, they will be killed when the princess is rescued." Tang Bandit questioned: "Why do they need to do such a stupid thing?"

"Based on time, those prisoners have now been sent to the old land."

"Old soil?"

"Isn't this the best choice? That kind of place is beyond the reach of the empire and it is impossible to go to war for a few prisoners."

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

Tang Bandit nodded and said: "Telling them is indeed the best choice. Should they let Phoenix go now?"

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

"Where is Phoenix now?"

"have no idea."

"How could you not know?" Tang Bandit looked confused: "We released the prisoners, shouldn't they release them too?"

"That's what you say." Yan Wenli was quite helpless and said, "But we don't know where they kidnapped the princess. They didn't let her go, so we can only wait, right?"

"What if they don't let me go?"

"Then just wait to be wiped out."

"Isn't it a matter of whether they let Phoenix go or not?" Tang Bandit said.

Even if Phoenix is ​​released, will the empire choose to forgive them?

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

"Yes." Yan Wenli said matter-of-factly, "So, whether they will let Phoenix go or not is still unknown."

"."

Feelings about the threat from our side. Is there no threat?

Focusing on a character who trusts and rebels against the party?

Yan Wenli looked sad and asked, "Do you think they will let him go?"

Tang Bandit pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "If I were against the party, I wouldn't let him go. The result is the same anyway, so why bother?"

"Yes." Yan Wenli nodded and said, "If I were against the party, I would not let him go. Anyway, their purpose is revenge. If they can collect some interest first, why not do it?"

"Phoenix is ​​in danger." Tang Bandit looked extremely ugly.

"Yes. Phoenix is ​​in danger."

"Chen Fenglei didn't find any information about rebelling against the party?"

"If there is," Yan Wenli said with a sarcastic smile on his lips, "will we be so passive?"

"This waste."

——

The old man hung up the phone, looked at Bai Wuxin sitting opposite and said, "They have arrived safely in the Old Land."

Bai Wuxin was obviously relieved, and his usually cold eyes also showed some mood swings.

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

He was rescued and adopted by He Xiaohua, who taught him swordsmanship

She was very strict with Bai Wuxin, even harsh and cruel.

However, Bai Wuxin didn't blame her, nor did he blame her.

I feel nothing but gratitude.

Just being alive is already a great gift.

Who has the right to be picky about whether the food is raw or 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 you can kill her." The old man said again.

"What?"

Bai Wuxin looked at the old man with wide eyes.

"Kill her?"

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

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

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

The old man stood up and prepared to kill.

Kill Phoenix.

Phoenix must die.

If she lives, countless people will be in danger.

Choking!

The long sword in Bai Wuxin's hand was unsheathed and blocked in front of the old man.

The old man's eyes were slightly stern, staring at Bai Wuxin and said: "Have you figured out our identity? We are the rebels, the rebels, and the mortal enemy of the royal family. What reason do we have to release the hostage? And she is the blood of the imperial princess Zhong?"

"What? You still want to rely on this to get the Phoenix Empire's Five Good Talks and Four Beauties Outstanding Good Person Award? If they dare to give it, do you dare to go and get it?"

"If we kill her, how can we explain to the bandit Tang?" Bai Wuxin did not give in and retorted.

"Explanation? We killed her, which is the best explanation to him." The old man sneered and said: "Killing the hostage is to protect him. If we let her go, it 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 that what the old man said was right.

However, he still shook his head and said, "No. I can't let you kill someone 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, squinted her eyes slightly. She hadn't seen the light for a long time.

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

There were no windows and the iron door was locked.

She was imprisoned with her cultivation and had no chance of escape.

Of course, even if her cultivation was still there, she would not run away easily.

That would be stupid.

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

Moreover, there were masters like the young man in white. Any struggle and resistance would only bring humiliation to herself.

She is a princess of the imperial family. She is dignified and weighs 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." Fenghuang looked relieved.

She didn't want so many people to be shot. Because of this, she even went to persuade her father.

It was precisely because of the failure of persuasion that she made an appointment with Sheng Xinhuai to Jiuchongzi in a bad mood.

Bai Wuxin looked at Fenghuang and thought that she was indeed different from the royal family.

Moreover, with his ability to see the big picture from the small details, 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 friends have arrived in the old land, can I go back according to our agreement?"

Fenghuang was extremely nervous when she asked this question.

Because this is an unfair deal.

They took me hostage, and the royal family's bargaining chips have been sent to the old land.

If they want to break the agreement, we have no checks and balances.

Life and death are all in the other party's mind.

It's ridiculous that my life is pinned on the credibility of these rebels.

"Yes." Bai Wuxin didn't let Fenghuang wait for long, and gave her the answer she wanted in time: "I'll send you away now."

Fenghuang's eyes flashed.

Then it became dim again.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Thank you."

"It's agreed."

--

In the vast ocean, a small boat drifted alone.

Fenghuang sat on the boat, tears streaming down her face.
