Return to the month before the end of the world

Chapter 315

This question that struck straight to the soul put Li Yongsong in a dilemma. He arranged to kidnap Yang Mingyu's family as a back-up, but once it was used, it meant that the situation was irreversible.

"First you have to exit the City Lord's Mansion."

"Old Patriarch Li, don't you take good care of yourself now that you are old? Although it is dark now, I think you are not sleepy yet."

"you!"

"You should know City Lord Yang's character very well. If you let him choose the outcome, you should know the outcome, so it's best to make some demands that everyone can accept, otherwise everyone will really have to go to war." Xiao Chan answered the question nonchalantly. .

"I want you to get us out of the city safely, and we will be released when we are safe."

"We can discuss letting you go, but don't think I'm stupid. First of all, I want to ensure the safety of the hostages. Secondly, if you have hostages, so do I."

After a simple test, Li Yongsong judged that Xiao Chan had a chance for peace talks and felt a little relieved.

"How are you going to trade?"

"Simple, both sides cease fire immediately, your people leave the imperial city, and finally we exchange hostages."

"No, we have to leave first before releasing the hostages."

"Master Li, I have already told you not to dream. Maybe you want to have a conversation with City Master Yang. My identity is the most suitable. Everyone should step back and live and die according to their destiny."

While Li Yongsong was deep in thought, some nobles began to persuade.

They originally thought there was no hope, but now they finally see hope of survival, and they are naturally unwilling to give up.

Li Yongsong thought carefully and found no problem, so he agreed.

The reason why Yang Mingyu was not involved was because everyone knew his character.

If the other party knows that his relative has been arrested, he will not compromise, so Xiao Chan, as the middleman, is undoubtedly the best negotiating partner.

Soon, the door of the city lord's mansion opened, and Xiao Chan walked outside calmly in full view of everyone.

When she saw Yang Mingyu, he immediately came forward to ask about the situation.

Xiao Chan pulled Yang Mingyu to a place where no one was around, and then explained the situation.

Sure enough, although Yang Mingyu was worried about the safety of his family, he was not willing to bow to the criminals.

"Believe me, what they can't escape is just to let them live a little longer. And the battlefield is in Chaoyang City now, and the only ones who get injured are ordinary people."

Under Xiao Chan's persuasion, Yang Mingyu had no choice but to agree.

Then a strange scene occurred. The two parties, who were originally in the same situation, stopped their attack and began to gather.

Yang Mingyu looked at the familiar faces and realized how rotten the City Lord's Mansion in Yucheng was.

Without Xiao Chan, there is a high probability that he would not survive.

"I know everyone is angry, and I am also angry, but I can't fight anymore. Please believe me, this matter will not end like this."

Li Yongsong and others didn't care. From the moment they decided to take action, the two sides were completely at odds.

If he hadn't carefully hidden a back-up plan, they would have suffered a disastrous defeat this time, and now they still have hope.

As the rebels left, the originally noisy city gradually returned to calm.

Under the light of the torch, everyone was not in a good mood.

For Li Yongsong and other nobles, they had completely broken up with Yang Mingyu this time. Unexpectedly, Xiao Chan almost single-handedly changed the situation, and luckily they retained hope.

For Yang Mingyu, this civil strife has turned Yucheng into a mess. From the fire in the city, it is easy to see that many people died in the civil strife. This can be said to be a serious loss of vitality for Yucheng.

At this moment, an accident happened, and some people whose relatives had died in the war rushed out of the darkness.

Xiao Chan immediately asked the Detachment of Women to stop them and quickly appeared in front of them.

"Chief Xiao, why are you defending them? If it weren't for them, our family would not die. My son has just grown up." A woman shouted with tears in her eyes.

"I can understand how a mother feels, but there are other families in the city, and if the fight continues, countless families will be torn apart. Please believe that City Master Yang and I will definitely give everyone an explanation for this matter. Please rest assured."

Even though Xiao Chan kept persuading, some people still refused to leave. Without the skills, Xiao Chan had to let the Detachment of Women take them away forcibly.

After all the rebels left the imperial city, a huge motorcade appeared outside. This was arranged by the Li family.

In the end, Li Yongsong released Yang Mingyu's relatives, and Xiao Chan also released them.

Not sure if they were afraid of Xiao Chan's attack, the rebels left and got in the car, disappearing into the night.

"I'm really unwilling to let them go just like that."

"They can't escape. The most important thing now is to save people."

This night was destined to be a sleepless night. The surviving imperial troops began to treat those who were trapped due to the battle.

I was busy until morning, and the impact of the civil unrest gradually subsided. It will take a long time to recover.

The most painful thing was Yang Mingyu, because this hostage exchange made him always feel that he was using his relatives to do business, which was something he could not accept.

When he appeared in front of Xiao Chan again, Xiao Chan finally brought good news.

"You can take action, but you can't go, City Lord Yang. Such a big thing has happened and you need to be in charge, and no one can guarantee the problem of the city imperial army."

Yang Mingyu felt depressed, but quickly cheered up: "I don't care, I just hope not to let any of them go."

"No problem. In order to avoid being suspected, I have to trouble City Lord Yang to come here twice more. This time I will be the only one to go there in person."

"Will it be okay?"

"No, there are more than just these people in the Detachment of Women, and they are not the only Detachment of Women."

"I understand. I will conceal the information. At the same time, I will also investigate internal matters. You must be careful this time."

"Don't worry, I'll be careful."

Not long after, several trucks quietly appeared outside the city and headed outside.

Underground where Xiao Chan and others live, there is a passage to the outside world, the Cunning Rabbit Three Cave, so that they can live longer.

Looking at the information sent by the Detachment of Women, Xiao Chan had a smile on her face.

"Tell them not to act rashly, I will rush over as quickly as possible."

"clear."

When the incident happened, Xiao Chan asked the Detachment of Women and the hunting group to come to support.

However, because things changed later, Xiao Chan asked them to follow the rebel convoy.

Now that the position has been basically locked, the next step will be their catastrophe, assuming there are no accidents.
