Chapter 177 Xiao Chen Bar, Hijacking Operation

The streets of the port are quite spacious, and cars are rare. Most people ride horses, and occasionally you can see luxurious carriages slowly passing by.

Chen Xiang followed Old Rune and soon came to a small bar at the entrance of a remote street. There was a sign hanging next to the door of the bar with the four big characters "Xiao Chen Bar" written crookedly on it.

After pushing open the door, I found that the bar was not big, with only about ten tables, but they were basically all full of people, with only one or two seats next to the long bar.

"Come, come, come!" After entering this small bar, Old Rune's mood seemed to be a little higher. He pulled Chen Xiang to sit next to the bar and shouted at the bar:
"I still follow the old rules. A glass of 'Life' with two more cubes of ice, a little Coke, and ginger ale!"

After a pause, Old Rune looked at Chen Xiang beside him:

"Why don't you try my special 'life'? Hey, this is my secret recipe, it's really awesome!"

"Sure." Chen Xiang smiled and replied, "You arrange it."

Old Rune snapped his fingers:

"Well, give my friend a cup of special life, and a portion of special mashed potatoes, and a portion of your boss lady's specialty, the Great City Specialty!"

"I'm afraid that won't work." The bartender shrugged. "The boss lady isn't here today, so no one knows the specialties of the Great City."

"Is that so?" Old Luen said with some regret: "Then give me an extra serving of spicy fried zheergen!"

"Got it!"

Soon, two cocktails, a portion of mashed potatoes and a portion of spicy fried zheergen were served, and Old Run said happily:

"Try it. This spicy fried zheergen is a specialty of your Donghong country, right? I know the taste of my hometown!"

He gently hit Chen Xiang's arm with his rough fist, and the latter showed helplessness on his face. He was not from Donghong Country.
He didn't explain, but took a sip of the cocktail first - it tasted good, and the mashed potatoes were also very special, dense in the mouth, with a little bit of salty flavor. As for the spicy fried zheergen,
Chen Xiang picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and refused to touch it anymore.

Soon, the two cocktails were finished, and Old Rune was still a little unsatisfied, but after touching his pocket, he finally gave up the idea of ​​having another one.

He waved to the bartender and was about to pay the bill when the door of the bar was kicked open. Under the surprised gaze of many guests, a dozen members of the security guard rushed in.

"Ok?"

Old Rune frowned when he saw the dozen or so familiar-looking guardsmen rushing straight into the back room. Two of them jumped into the bar and pinned the bartender down, causing the entire bar to fall into chaos.

"What happened??"

Old Rune shouted to a soldier, who looked sideways and was obviously stunned:
"Captain Rune? Why are you here too?"

The soldier stepped forward and gave a brief account of the situation.

"Not long ago, we received a tip-off about a group of wanted criminals, members of the Order Cult, and we went to arrest them."

"Three of the cultists escaped, but most of them were caught. The owner of this bar was also one of the cultists. The dozen or so cultists had been hiding in her basement!"

"How is it possible?" Old Rune widened his eyes in surprise - he was quite familiar with the proprietress and knew clearly that she was not a church member.

As the general leader of the Order Church in the Mama Port area and a core member of the church, Old Rune has some idea about the church members in the entire Mama Port.

"Yes."

The soldier shrugged his shoulders.

"We were also surprised that the woman who looked so quiet turned out to be a cultist. Her methods were extremely cruel. She knocked down three team members with a folding knife and escaped with two cultists. We were ordered to seal off the bar to see if there were any clues."

Old Rune frowned and wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing and just stood up:

"Hey, I saved some money on food. Okay, you guys go do your job, we'll go back first."

"Yes!" The soldier saluted old Rune.

After walking out of the bar, Chen Xiang looked back at the bar's sign, and his spirituality was slightly touched - so slightly that Chen Xiang almost didn't notice it.

"strangeness."

He frowned slightly, and began to wonder in his heart that his replica had no cultivation at all, and its spirituality was extremely weak, just like an ordinary saint, not even as good as the messenger of heaven.
But even such a weak spirituality was touched.

Xiao Chen Bar, the proprietress from Great City.
Chen Xiang blinked, and a guess came to his mind - could it be my elder sister? ?

What a coincidence???

He tried to mobilize the meager power of destiny. Although he could not see his sister's location due to his lack of cultivation, he could at least confirm her current condition - safe and sound.

Could it be that it was my elder sister who guessed wrong?

No, I have to sort out all the messy powers as soon as possible, otherwise I will never be able to get out of this foggy state.
Chen Xiang frowned slightly.

"What are you thinking about?"

Old Rune, who looked unhappy, came forward:

"This is really an accident. Damn it. I spent a lot of effort to find such a cheap and good bar. Damn it."

He muttered something that seemed unbelievable:
"I always feel that my colleagues have made a mistake in handling the case. I have talked to the boss's wife. From what she said, she is full of hatred for the Order Cult. How can they be cultists?"

Chen Xiang came back to his senses:

"Aren't you the most senior captain of the security guard? Why don't you go and redress the boss lady?" "There's nothing I can do."

Old Rune spread his hands:

"We are from two different departments. They are responsible for the cultists of the Order Cult, and I am responsible for various other extraordinary events, such as your Golden Ship."

The two stood outside the bar, watching customers and employees being taken away one after another, and watching the security guards seal the place and set up cordons.

The bar, which had been small but bustling, was completely silent.

"Let's go home."

Old Rune sighed softly.

………………

sewer.

Chen Shaoyan slowly wiped the blood off the folding knife, looking unhappy:
"How did you get exposed?"

"No clue."

The middle-aged man who was hit by a bolt of lightning and whose body was somewhat burnt looked exhausted:

"We have never left your basement during this period. Could it be that you are the one who led us here?"

"How is that possible?" Chen Shaoyan said unhappily, "I am not a member of your Order Cult. I am innocent to begin with!"

Another older man with white hair frowned and said:

"That's a bit strange. Miss Chen is right. Her identity is innocent. The lackeys of the guards can't trace her back."

After a pause, the white-haired old man paced back and forth:

"These days, our only contact with the outside world is to pass on the information about your acquaintance with Bishop Li. Is this the reason?"

The middle-aged man next to him changed color:

"You mean there are traitors among the church members?"

"I can't think of any other possibilities!" The old man looked unhappy. He pinched his knuckles, making a crackling sound, scaring many rats in the sewer to flee frantically.

"Now I have nowhere to go!"

Chen Shaoyan looked very unfriendly:

"I finally opened a bar. Now you must take me to the noble district."

Her thoughts were very clear. Her temporary home was gone, and the bar was probably gone too. She might as well go directly to the aristocratic district to see if that person was a fool!

The white-haired old man shook his head:
"Ms. Chen, Xiao Hao is the only one who can directly contact the mysterious fellow believer lurking in the noble district, and Xiao Hao has just been captured by the security guards. His cultivation is not high, and he has been hit by two thunderbolts. I'm afraid he won't live long."

Chen Shaoyan's expression changed:
“You guys are going to break your promise??”

"no no!"

The white-haired old man waved his hands repeatedly:

"The Church of Order never breaks its promises. There is another person who may be able to help you."

"The person in charge of the church in the port of Chuima is the boss of our boss. I don't know who he is, but Lao Qi knows, but he was also arrested just now."

Chen Shaoyan took a deep breath:

"so?"

"So, we must rescue Lao Qi."

A solemn expression appeared on the white-haired old man's face:
"Only in this way can we send you to the noble district and inform the person in charge of the existence of the traitor!"

Chen Shaoyan's eyelids twitched, and he pointed at the middle-aged man:
"We? Two extraordinary people, plus him who is still at the level of secret martial arts, are going to rob the security guards??"

The white-haired old man looked solemn:

"Of course not, Miss Chen. Didn't you say that there is a captain of the security guard who often goes to your bar? His name is Old Rune, right? We just need to kidnap him and then ask him to release Old Qi!"

Chen Shaoyan was stunned for a moment, his expression changed:
"If we just want to capture old Rune, it doesn't seem impossible. I remember he told me where he lived during a casual chat!"

The white-haired old man perked up:
"That's even easier. The sewers in the port are divided into two systems, one for the noble area and one outside the noble area. In other words, we can go through the sewers and directly reach the house of that old Rune!"

Chen Shaoyan hesitated:
"But old Rune seems to be a good man."

"Are there any good people in the security guard?" The middle-aged man on the side sneered.

The white-haired old man said with a sharp gaze:
"Maybe we won't kill him, but just let him lead us to find Lao Qi."

Chen Shaoyan nodded silently and finally made up his mind:
"Then get ready, we'll go directly to Old Rune's house!"
