Catching Monsters

Chapter 360 Escape

Jiang Yun's lips moved slightly, and she glanced at the butterfly beside her, but didn't say anything more.

Zidane gave Jiang Yun a look, indicating that he understood.

Jiang Yun felt much relieved and then said to the butterfly beside her, "Butterfly, let's go."

After watching Jiang Yun and Butterfly leave, Qi Da quickly ran to the gate of the East Town Commandery and whistled rhythmically.

Soon, two Imperial Guards disguised on the street quickly approached Qi Da and asked in a low voice, "Lord Centurion, what's wrong?"

"Did you see Commander Jiang and that woman leave just now?" Qi Da asked in a deep voice.

The two nodded and whispered, "They've headed towards the outer city; some of our brothers have already followed them."

Zidane said in a deep voice, "Bring the men back!"

"Huh?" The two were stunned for a long time.

Zida said, "It was Commander Jiang's order."

Originally, after hearing Jiang Yun's words, Zidane was about to send someone to follow them, but Jiang Yun later reminded him, "Did you really understand?"

In Zidane's eyes, Jiang Qianhu certainly knew that he was extremely intelligent, and normally he wouldn't deliberately remind him again.

The deliberate reminder only made Zidane think that Commander Jiang probably had ulterior motives.

……

They hid it very well.

Jiang Yun followed behind Butterfly, glancing back every now and then. To his surprise, the people from the Eastern Garrison Command had become so skilled at disguise and tracking.

Despite being a master of the third rank, he couldn't even detect who the spy from the Eastern Garrison was behind him.

Zidane, that guy, he's got some skills.

"Coming."

Butterfly led Jiang Yun directly out of the inner city and to a rather secluded mansion in the outer city.

Soon, Butterfly led Jiang Yun forward and knocked on the door with a distinctive rhythm.

Not long after, the door creaked open, and a lame old man opened it. When he saw Butterfly, his face lit up with joy, and he said, "Miss Butterfly, you're back."

"Uncle Jin, I..." Butterfly was about to speak when Jiang Yun quickly stepped forward and followed closely beside her.

Butterfly also vaguely sensed a murderous aura coming from behind her.

Uncle Jin looked at Jiang Yun and blinked: "This must be the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, right?"

Upon hearing Uncle Jin's question, Butterfly was momentarily at a loss for words...

Her original plan was to lure Jiang Yun into the mansion, and then she and her accomplices would take action to capture Jiang Yun.

If he were to reveal a weakness at this moment, Jiang Yun would be right behind him.

If they were to attack me, I would probably still be doomed.

Jiang Yun's heart sank slightly. Did this lame old man recognize him?
Unexpectedly, Uncle Jin laughed and praised Butterfly: "I've heard from the beginning about how you used Gu worms to control a commander of the Imperial Guard. This kid is very useful to us!"

The butterfly paused slightly, "Huh?"
When did I gain control over Jiang Yun?

Uncle Jin looked Jiang Yun up and down and said, "However, this Gu technique that controls people's minds is quite rare. What kind of Gu did you use to control him this time?"

"Love potion?"

Butterfly could sense the murderous aura emanating from behind her, so she could only force a smile.

At this moment, Jiang Yun spoke up and asked, "Master, shall we go inside first?"

The butterfly couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Who's your master?!"

But he still managed a smile and nodded: "Let's go, come inside with me first."

Soon, Jiang Yun followed the two inside.

Jiang Yun wasn't in a hurry. The people Qi Da sent should have already followed and seen him enter the mansion.

A large number of people from the Eastern Garrison Command will soon arrive to provide support.

Then, with the help of the Eastern Garrison Commanders, none of these bandits will be able to escape.

In a living room inside the courtyard, Hu Changyun, the leader of this group of Western Region people, was sitting and drinking tea he had bought.

Tea is considered a top-tier luxury item in the Western Regions, but it's relatively inexpensive in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Hearing footsteps, the lame man known as Uncle Jin quickly brought Jiang Yun and Butterfly inside.

"Boss, Miss Butterfly is back." Uncle Jin said with a happy expression, "She also brought back this commander of the Imperial Guard."

Upon hearing this from the back door, Hu Changyun nodded slightly, then looked at Jiang Yun and said in a deep voice, "That's right. It just so happens that the Imperial Guards in the capital are searching us. We can use this Imperial Guard commander."

"head……"

Butterfly paused, gritted her teeth, and suddenly fled into the distance, shouting, "This commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard forced me here! Quickly, get everyone here and take care of him!"

"He's the only one who came, so don't worry."

Hu Changyun was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, clearly somewhat surprised, and his gaze quickly fell on Jiang Yun.

Uncle Jin quickly limped towards the outside and soon shouted loudly.

The opera troupe members who were resting in the various rooms of the mansion rushed over. In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire mansion became tense.

Jiang Yun glanced subconsciously at the many experts outside the house and frowned slightly.

Of course, he wasn't surprised by this result.

"Stop!" Hu Changyun stood up and raised his hand to stop his men from attacking Jiang Yun.

Right now, the entire capital is searching for them. Once a fight breaks out, a steady stream of Imperial Guards will arrive.

When that time comes, it probably won't be so easy for them to escape.

Hu Changyun's gaze fell on the butterfly, and he slowly asked, "Are you sure that he's the only Jinyiwei who came?"

"Hmm." Butterfly nodded, though she was also a little unsure, but that was the only answer she could give.

Hu Changyun smiled, raised his hand to his subordinates outside the courtyard to signal them not to act recklessly, and then made a gesture of invitation: "Commander, please sit down, let's have a chat?"

Seeing that the other party was unwilling to make a move easily, Jiang Yun was happy to let it go, to buy some more time until his own men arrived and see who had more men.

After Jiang Yun sat down, Hu Changyun said to Uncle Jin, "Go and get some silver notes from the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Soon, Uncle Jin handed over a silver note containing five thousand taels of silver.

"Let's be friends." Hu Changyun handed the silver note to Jiang Yun with a smile and said, "We are just here in Zhou Kingdom on business. We hope that you, Lord Qianhu, will not make things difficult for us."

After arriving in Da Zhou, they did their homework and learned that accepting bribes had long been common practice among the officials in Da Zhou's bureaucracy.

Sure enough, Jiang Yun accepted the silver note with a smile and put it into his pocket: "Perfect, I like making friends. I just don't know what Mr. Hu and his party have come all this way for?"

With a broad smile on his face, Hu Changyun did not answer Jiang Yun's question. Instead, he said, "Since Commander Jiang is a big shot in the Embroidered Uniform Guard, I wonder if you could help us bring someone out of the Embroidered Uniform Guard prison? If it works, we are willing to pay any amount of money."

"This is a small matter. Whom does Mr. Hu want to save?"

Hu Changyun said, "Xiao Min'er."

Upon hearing this name, Jiang Yun was slightly taken aback and also slightly alarmed. Were these guys related to Wang Longzhi and his gang?
Of course, Jiang Yun did not show any emotion on the surface. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Mr. Hu, there is no problem with helping you rescue people, but the commotion you have caused is a bit too great."

"This butterfly girl used witchcraft and curses to kill two high-ranking officials of the imperial court."

Hu Changyun laughed and said, "If we don't do this, how can your Embroidered Uniform Guards focus their attention on us?"

"Now that a large number of Imperial Guards are searching the whole city for our group, the place where Xiao Min'er is being held will definitely be much less guarded."

In fact, the number of court officials they planned to kill was not just this many.

This would both strike at the Zhou court and divert the attention of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

This can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

At this moment, Jiang Yun felt somewhat confused. If it was true that Wang Longzhi colluded with people from the Western Regions...

But why would these people from the Western Regions help Wang Longzhi?
What are they plotting?

Jiang Yun was somewhat puzzled, but he also waited for the signal from outside. Damn it, why hasn't Qi Da brought his men over yet...?

After careful consideration, Jiang Yun came up with a possibility.

Could it be...

Zidane really listened to himself...

That's a real shame; all the credit goes to him alone...

“Commander Jiang, if you ask me…” Hu Changyun smiled, but suddenly, Uncle Jin seemed to remember something and hurriedly came to Hu Changyun’s side and whispered, “Boss, I seem to remember that Xiao Min’er was arrested because she came back with a Jinyiwei guard surnamed Jiang.”

Hu Changyun's eyelids twitched slightly upon hearing this. He gave Uncle Jin a look, then continued chatting casually with Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun had already sensed something was wrong and was holding a talisman in his hand, ready to act at any moment.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly felt that his body was becoming somewhat immobile.

He glanced down and saw that the shadow of the lame old man called Uncle Jin had somehow become much longer.

He clung tightly to his own shadow.

Shadow magic?

"Everyone, do it!"

These experts from the Western Regions were preparing to attack Jiang Yun.

In an instant, numerous experts rushed into the house.

They possessed all sorts of unusual and unusual skills.

Jiang Yun sat in the chair, unable to move. Soon, all sorts of weapons came crashing down on him.

Jiang Yun's expression remained unchanged. He couldn't help but glance at the expert called Uncle Jin and said, "This shadow magic is indeed novel and interesting."

"Unfortunately, you are too weak to completely control me."

As Jiang Yun spoke, the talisman he had been holding between his fingers crackled with electricity.

A powerful magical force was instantly unleashed.

Hu Changyun's expression changed drastically, and he said in disbelief, "This person has already reached the third rank!"

"Run away!"
