Catching Monsters

Chapter 70 Xu Mansion
Wei Huaian was silent for a moment after hearing this. He had already developed a strong fear of Zhao Chongfeng's magic skills. He had been able to escape many times when the Jinyiwei tried to capture him, so he was still not sure.

He hesitated a little, and whispered: "Jiang Yun, this traitor is full of tricks, why don't you come with us."

"Of course, no problem." Jiang Yun's eyes lit up, and his smile became wider: "But the price for finding someone is one thousand taels of silver."

"Help you catch someone."

"You have to pay more."

Hearing this, Wei Huaian took a deep breath and said, "Jiang Yun, Brother Jiang, this is all the money I have. I can only give you an additional 200 taels at most, no more."

After saying that, he looked at Xu Suwen as if asking for help, but Xu Suwen shrugged, indicating that he could not help.

Seeing Jiang Yun's expressionless face, he took a deep breath and said, "Five hundred taels!"

"make a deal."

Jiang Yun also understood that Wei Huaian could probably only come up with this much money.

Wei Huaian felt a pain in his heart, but as long as he could catch Zhao Chongfeng, everything would be worth it.

The cellar of a mansion near the city wall in the northern part of Nanzhou Prefecture.

Zhao Chongfeng is recuperating here. In the cellar, there is an old man accompanying him and changing his dressings.

"Brother Zhao, I have already advised you that it is useless to start an uprising like this, but you did not listen to my advice and insisted on acting rashly. The leader is very angry about this matter."

The old man's name is Xu Huanchun, a famous businessman in Nanzhou Prefecture. He is over fifty years old and is kind and charitable. The people nearby are full of praise for this great man Xu.

Zhao Chongfeng was lying on a bed in the cellar, grimacing in pain from the wounds on his body. "We can't wait any longer. The people below have all gathered together to overthrow the imperial court, but in recent years, the leader has not made any moves. The people below have been pent up with dissatisfaction for a long time. If no action is taken, the people's hearts will be dispersed."

The old man glared at Zhao Chongfeng, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "The leader has been in the capital for many years..."

"What?" Zhao Chongfeng's face showed a look of surprise: "What do you want, Master?"

"Don't ask more. Just stay here and recover." Xu Huanchun changed the medicine and stood up and said, "It's very safe here. Those court lackeys won't be able to find us."

After Xu Huanchun finished speaking, he turned and walked out, but just as he opened the wooden door of the cellar, a thousand paper cranes made of folded paper flew into the cellar, came to Zhao Chongfeng's side, and flapped its wings continuously.

"Hey, what is this?" There was some confusion in Zhao Chongfeng's eyes.

Xu Huanchun felt something was wrong. Suddenly, two Jinyiwei dropped from the sky and put two steel knives on his neck.

"do not move."

Afterwards, more and more Jinyiwei entered the courtyard and quickly surrounded the entrance to the cellar.

Wei Huaian had a happy look on his face. He glanced at Xu Huanchun and grinned, "Great, there is an unexpected surprise."

"You guys guard the door, I'll go into the cellar."

Wei Huaian drew his sword and ran quickly into the cellar.

He also made a decision that if he really couldn't capture Zhao Chongfeng and kill him, he must not let him escape again.

But when you go into the cellar, it's completely empty, nothing in there.

"Hidden divine movement?" Wei Huaian was extremely familiar with this scene. He hurriedly waved the Embroidered Spring Knife in his hand and chopped at the surroundings.

"Come out!"

"What are you doing?" Jiang Yun, who was following behind, walked in. The air in the cellar was stuffy. Jiang Yun covered his nose, took out the rooster blood he carried with him, smeared it on his forehead, and opened his eyes again.

I saw Zhao Chongfeng hiding in the corner of the cellar, making hand gestures.

Jiang Yun stared at him and asked, "Are you going to come out by yourself, or should I help you?"

Zhao Chongfeng stood up slowly, his eyes bloodshot, and said coldly: "Little Taoist, you are going too far."

"I have been practicing illusion for more than 20 years. It seems that I have to be serious with you!" Zhao Chongfeng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Unreal and unreal, real and fake. Dreams and illusions, hidden truth and illusion."

In an instant, he kept spinning, and soon, eight Zhao Chongfengs appeared in the cellar.

Seeing this scene, Wei Huaian's expression changed slightly. These eight Zhao Chongfengs were exactly the same, no matter their aura or the magic power emanating from their bodies.

The eight Zhao Chongfengs spoke in unison: "Little Taoist priest, let's see how you can break my clone technique."

After saying that, the eight Zhao Chongfengs rushed towards the exit at the same time.

The true self is hidden in it.

"Jiang Yun, which one is the real one!" Wei Huaian turned his head and asked anxiously.

Jiang Yun was not in a hurry. Zhao Chongfeng's figures ran past Jiang Yun one after another.

When passing by, he would even give Jiang Yun a sarcastic smile.

Jiang Yun remained unmoved until the seventh figure passed by him: "The sky and the earth are boundless, the universe borrows the law!"

A palm thunder struck Zhao Chongfeng's chest again, and a strong electric light flashed in the dim cellar.

There was a loud bang.

Zhao Chongfeng spat out blood and flew backwards. He widened his eyes and looked up in disbelief: "Impossible, this is the false method taught by the leader. The leader said that unless you are a Taoist fifth-grade master in the Guarding One Realm, it is impossible to see through it."

"You are at most at the eighth level of the Dao Sect."

"you……"

Jiang Yun walked forward and slapped him hard on the back of the head. In an instant, Zhao Chongfeng was knocked unconscious.

Jiang Yun couldn't help but mutter: "Where do you get so much nonsense to add drama to yourself..."

Soon, Wei Huaian walked up quickly and tied the guy up.

After Zhao Chongfeng was completely tied up, Wei Huaian finally relaxed completely. He looked at Jiang Yun beside him and said, "Thank you."

"Thank you, don't forget my money." A smile suddenly appeared on Jiang Yun's face.

He was really happy, as he had earned 1,500 taels.

One can earn so much from this general flag bearer, what about other higher-level Jinyiwei?

Working as a minor constable in the government office of Nanzhou Prefecture and earning some money from the common people, he could only make one or two hundred taels at most throughout the year.

Jiang Yun never thought about making money from the poor.

At this time, Jiang Yun became more and more interested in joining the Jinyiwei.

Wei Huaian looked at Zhao Chongfeng on the ground and sighed slightly: "It's a pity that this guy escaped, otherwise..."

If you let the rebel escape, even if you capture him again, you will be blamed by your superiors. Forget about any credit, it would be good enough if you are not demoted.

Jiang Yun asked with a smile: "Does Lord Wei need any other services?"

"For example, I would like Miss Xu to write in the report that Lord Wei noticed that this traitor had an accomplice, so he deliberately let him go and captured another traitor?"

Wei Huaian then came to his senses. He realized that the fifty-year-old man who was caught when he came in was probably his accomplice.

He was delighted when he heard Jiang Yun's suggestion and hurriedly thanked him: "If Brother Jiang can ask Miss Xu to report to the higher-ups in this way, I will be very grateful."

"What's the point of being so grateful? Sir Wei, please add a little more money. Two hundred taels will be enough. It's cheap and affordable."
