Chapter 622 Manor
Chapter 622 - Manor
Snakes have their own ways, rats have their own ways.
The black street profiteers who hide in the shopping district of the imperial capital and specialize in shady business really have a way.
While secretly transporting Xia Ji and his party out of the imperial capital, they successfully forged their records of leaving the city.
It cost 50 million star yuan to transport them out through secret channels, and another 50 million star yuan to forge the records of leaving the city, which added up to 100 million. Although it was frighteningly expensive, it was neat and tidy and left no trouble.
If there were no records of entering and leaving the city, then their secret exit from the city would probably be a one-time deal. If they wanted to enter the city again next time, they would either have to pay the 50 million star yuan entry fee that they could not escape no matter what, or be arrested by the Imperial Security Department for tea. Only God knew whether they could come out safely, but they would not be able to avoid this money anyway.
The housekeeper of the courtyard at No. 14 Binghua Road followed Xia Ji and his party to this private manor, which meant that the owners of the two noble community courtyards, Baron Fran and Viscount Lanfeng, would be implicated, or more accurately, become abandoned.
This was also helpless, because they found an eight-legged mechanical spider in the secret passage, which meant that there was no chance of survival. Blue Star would not let the "water bear" go, and the Slan Dynasty of the Sky Star would not necessarily sit idly by and watch such dangerous elements operate in the imperial capital.
The two nobles would not only be investigated and even wanted by the Dynasty Security Department, but they would also be deprived of their titles no matter what. Once they were caught, if they were lucky, they could still keep their lives and degenerate from nobles to slaves. If they were unlucky, they would most likely be executed and the death penalty would be executed immediately.
The Slan Dynasty never showed mercy to rebels, especially the aristocracy that made up the upper class.
On the way to the black street in the shopping district, Hawke, the butler of the courtyard at No. 14 Binghua Road, was quite loyal. He immediately notified his master, Baron Fran, and his family to flee urgently. After all, they were originally in the same group, and whether they could escape depended on God's will.
As for the other Viscount Lanfeng, he was a complete fool who knew nothing. He didn't even know that his mansion was being used by others. In other words, he was forced to become a discarded child, a shield, a scapegoat, an unlucky child, or some other bad object of being used from the moment the secret passage was completed.
After being personally greeted by the owner of the manor, Xia Ji boarded the light transport vehicle that entered the private manor and told the next plan that he had thought of on the way.
"Let's rest here for a while, and then move to other continents. Zhai Liuzhou should be a good choice."
Escaping from the imperial capital at night, exhausted all the way, it is necessary to rest temporarily.
But this place is still too close to the imperial capital and is not a place to stay for a long time.
To be precise, he and others have been noticed by the Slan Dynasty. If they stay in the Morning Star Continent, which is the basic base of the dynasty, it will be difficult to escape the pursuit of the dynasty security department, or even hunt down.
Until now, Xia Ji still thought that he was targeted by the dynasty security department, and the guy at the 911 Air Force Base probably received a bounty and was hiding somewhere to enjoy himself!
Although it is true to say so!
But who would refuse to pay more?
"You're right, we have to leave as soon as possible!"
Among Xia Ji's group, Mokle, a first-class fire magician, agreed with the other party's plan and immediately asked the manor owner who greeted them, "Can I ask if Mr. Bray has any relevant channels?"
They had fled from the imperial capital Delan City in a hurry, and they had already relied on the channels of the black street profiteers in the shopping district. If they wanted to leave the Morning Star Continent, those profiteers might not be able to do anything.
A hearty laugh responded to Xia Ji, Mokle and others.
"Hehe, you asked me, and you really asked the right person!"
The owner of this private manor, Bray, was once a powerful smuggler. He not only controlled the smuggling routes and connections within the Morning Star Continent, but also had secret channels with several other continents.
After the Slan Empire unified the Morning Star Continent, it launched a war of unification. The Cangqiong Star was unified globally, and almost all smuggling businesses immediately fell into a trough. The whole world was the king's land. Even the tariffs were gone, and the boundary gate was monopolized by the dynasty. Where was there a way to make a living for smuggling?
The owner of the manor simply retired from the business. With the money he had saved for many years, he bought a large piece of land in a planting area near the imperial capital and started a private manor, relying on various agricultural products to feed his former subordinates.
Although he no longer engages in smuggling, his previous connections and channels can still be used. It is not difficult to secretly send a group of people to other continents.
In fact, every year someone finds this manor and smuggles to other continents through the channels of the manor owner Mr. Bray, which is also a considerable extra income.
Overjoyed, Xia Ji hurriedly said: "Please ask Mr. Bray to help with this. There is no need to worry about the cost."
He came to the Sky Star to avoid the limelight and there is no way to return to the Blue Star.
At this point, before the situation deteriorates to the point where it is irreversible, even a straw cannot be let go.
"Let's make it clear first. I have the channel, but I have to ask whether the old guys are still alive and whether they can take this job. I dare not make this guarantee now."
The owner of the manor, Mr. Bray, gave a reassurance for the time being.
The dynasty is keeping a close eye on this aspect. There are many ferocious monsters active in the vast ocean, and there are satellites in the sky constantly looking down, so it is not easy to sneak across the ocean.
The connections in the past are gradually getting old, and there are no successors in some links. It is estimated that in another seven or eight years, the former channels will naturally die out. After all, there is no way to deal with life, old age, illness and death.
"Then please!"
The owner of the manor did not refuse, which meant that there was a high possibility. Xia Ji was temporarily relieved.
"Thank you very much. My master, Baron Fran, and his family may also use Mr. Bray's channels."
Butler Hawke in the courtyard of No. 14 Binghua Road has not forgotten his master. If this route can be opened, Baron Fran's family will also come here and use the smuggling channel to transfer to other continents.
Although he needs to remain anonymous from now on and cannot restore the glory of the nobility, it is better than being reduced to slaves as a family. When the next generation grows up, there may be a chance to make a comeback.
"I've heard enough bad news lately, and finally there's some good news."
As Xia Ji's companion, Mokel, a first-level fire magician, was relieved. He did not want to face the combatants of the Imperial Security Department.
The dynasty is like the scorching sun in the sky, full of talents. A magician of his own status is nothing in the sky. Once locked by the dynasty, it will be wiped out in a matter of minutes.
Someone whispered to himself: "Will that thing... follow you?"
No one knew that behind the crushed micro-mechanical body was a person, a team, or even the Imperial Security Department.
I hope the profiteers in the black market are strong enough to clean up their tails for them.
After spending a lot of money to escape from the imperial capital, it was not only the escape of their group, but also the follow-up of two noble community courtyards. It was inevitable to do something suspicious, such as false targets.
"Follow me? Even if I follow you, I will know immediately that there are no outsiders within ten miles, they are all my people, and I am not afraid of anyone! Well, there is a call, I will answer it first."
Bray, the owner of the manor, made a bodybuilding movement to bulge his biceps to show his strength.
As soon as he finished speaking, the cell phone on his body rang.
The level of networking and informatization on the Sky Star is not much lower than that on the Blue Star. The penetration rate of mobile phones and personal computers is not inferior, and it is not lagging behind in terms of technology. The two civilized planets basically maintain the same level of technological sharing.
"Hmm!...What?...Okay...I'll ask again..."
After hanging up the phone, the owner of the manor, Mr. Bray, had a concerned expression on his face that immediately made Xia Ji and his party feel anxious.
"An accident?"
Xia Ji became depressed and spent a full 100 million star yuan to escape from the imperial capital.
But now, those profiteers who took the money did not do things neatly.
The owner of the manor, Bray, shook his cell phone and said: "There is a vehicle of unknown origin approaching. I don't know its purpose. Anyway, I don't have an appointment here. It is very likely that it is coming for you."
Although there are also outside people and vehicles coming in and out of his private estate, most of them are business partners who have been notified in advance, or guests introduced by others like Xia Ji and his party, but there are very few unidentified guests. guy.
"No Baron Fran, they won't arrive until tomorrow."
Butler Hawke shook his head immediately.
"It's better not to be an enemy!"
Mokel, a first-level fire magician, did not want to have any more interactions with people from the imperial capital. One more thing would be better than one less thing.
"It's okay, you guys stay here in peace, I'll take care of it!"
Mr. Bray, the owner of the manor, patted his chest generously, then dialed a number on his mobile phone and explained a few words.
The light-duty transport vehicle carrying everyone stopped in the residential area in the center of the private manor, and Xia Ji and others were assigned guest rooms.
Ten minutes later, a huge vehicle roared over and was intercepted by several heavy trucks and forklifts at the edge of the settlement.
"This is a private estate, and outsiders without reservations are not welcome!"
Mr. Bray, the owner of the manor, held a loudspeaker and sat above the cab of one of the heavy trucks, shouting loudly.
Several other vehicles had automatic firearms in the compartments, aiming at the uninvited guest with five pairs of load-bearing tires. After all, this was private land, and there were enough reasons to reject outsiders.
"So... can I make an appointment now?"
Huge vehicles also have loudspeakers to amplify the voices of people in the vehicles.
"Okay! But the schedule is full now. It will take at least a month. Please go back!"
Originally a man of the world, Bray, the owner of the manor, was not someone who would say anything to death easily, and there was room for change in his words.
What if you are a tourist who likes to wander around, eat, and have fun at a farm?
In the mobile base vehicle, Her Royal Highness Princess Lin Ziyu grabbed the microphone and pressed the call button.
"Sorry if I said no!"
What responded to her was the sudden sound of gunfire, like a hail of bullets.
Strips of crimson tracer projectiles enveloped the entire mobile base vehicle, and then a ball of fire exploded three meters away.
The big smugglers who were engaged in smuggling and making huge profits at the beginning, from the boss to the thugs under him, none of them were good men and women. If they didn't agree with each other, they would immediately look down on life and death. If they didn't accept it, they would do it.
"Chen Fei, what did I say wrong?"
Lin Ziyu was puzzled by such a warm "welcome".
"Some things can't just be said, they have to be done. 'Adam', the first car on the left, 152 rounds, send it on its way!"
Chen Fei sat calmly in the driver's seat.
The rail gun on the roof of the mobile base vehicle automatically rose up and aimed at the vehicle blocking the road ahead, and a 152mm explosive bomb was automatically loaded.
There were lifting roadblocks at the entrance and exit of the manor. The mobile base vehicle ran over the roadblocks as if it was in an empty space, leaving a row of holes in the ground with a diameter of about 20 cm. The chassis did not even have a layer of paint film scratched, and it was just a slight bump from beginning to end.
Bang! ~
A huge shock wave swept in, and the mobile base vehicle seemed to be caught in a storm, shaking violently.
The repulsion shield and wind magic shield blocked most of the impact, but the residual power still made Princess Lin Ziyu in the car dizzy. She held on to the fixed objects around her tightly and complained: "Too close!"
