Bagel finally understood Li Zhaoying's current situation. In his opinion, Li Zhaoying was not in any danger. The reason why the mob leader Katijiang insisted on seeing Li Zhaoying was because the British king played a positive role in the restructuring of the foreign vassals, at least for the leaders under the rule of the foreign vassal aristocrats.

However, no one dared to take such a risk, even the servants trapped in the library and everyone rescued by the outside world, reached an unanimous agreement that Li Zhaoyan was in the library.

It is also because of this that Cao Song and Ata discussed and sent people to contact Katijiang. During the contact, both sides talked about Bagel, which was also a familiar name for a mob, but the problem is that none of the mobs had seen Bagel.

Everyone was still discussing how to prove Bagher's identity. When they were winning the trust of Yu Katijiang, they heard rapid gunfires in the direction of No. 1 Middle School.

A group of people dared not delay and entered the temporary command center of No. 1 Middle School. The first thing they determined was that it was not a conflict between the mob and the besieged troops, but this also caused everyone to restlessness, and insiders were worried that it was the mob attacking the library.

"It shouldn't be. Katijiang has reached an agreement with us that he will not launch another attack before meeting Bagel or the King of England..." Muhemaiti said.

Just as everyone was arguing, Ata's men sent out the exact news and brought two people, one of whom was a school teacher who was taken hostage by the mob, and the other one was a mob who escaped.

After detailed interrogation, it was confirmed that it was the mob group that had an internal fight, and the leader Katijiang was killed by another man named Badong.

In the internal struggle, Badong won the victory and controlled the mob group.

"I know that Badong was once the captain of the guard and cavalry leader of Xiremaijiang. He was a fierce and cunning man who killed people without blinking. Relatively speaking, Katijiang was just managing commercial assets for Xiremaijiang.

Katijiang's request was to be pardoned, and they would not be held responsible for killing Xiremaijiang and launching the riot. But Badong was full of doubts about us, and he did not believe that we would pardon everyone. Moreover, in terms of religious thought, Badong was more extreme and was more inclined to do things." Muhemaiti took the initiative to say that after the incident, as a regional religious leader, he was mainly responsible for contacting the mob.

Cao Song asked: "Can you say that if Badong controls the situation, he cannot guarantee the safety of Prince Ying and the hostages?"

"That's it." Muhemaiti said.

It was at this time that Badong sent out several wounded people, and these people were holding heads wrapped in curtains. The injured students were Badong's sincerity, while those heads were people who tried to escape during the turmoil in the early morning. This was Badong's warning.

"The request of Padang is to give orders to surrender those who resist in the library, and to prepare a hundred war horses and six carriages in a day, as well as food, water and money. They no longer ask for pardon, but want to escape." Muhemaiti received a new request.

Bagher asked: "I have a doubt, since they are going to escape, why do the people in the library surrender?"

Muhemaiti said: "Although Badong didn't know that the King of England was in the library, he knew Li Yongzhong, who protected the King of England."

"Who is Li Yongzhong?"

"My son," said Ata.

Ata was the guard of Qiexue during Li Junwei's expedition. He made many achievements and was able to become a foreign vassal duke in the empire. He also set an example in the reform of the foreign vassal. Therefore, Ata gained much more than he lost during the reform of the foreign vassal. The Ata clan was also given the surname of the king, and the emperor even gave his son Li Yongzhong the name.

During the British King's private visit to Luntai, Ata was the only one who knew his whereabouts, so he sent his son to protect him.

Obviously, Badong knew Li Yongzhong and wanted to escape and took a qualified hostage. Although many students from No. 1 Middle School also had extraordinary backgrounds, Badong still wanted Li Yongzhong. The reason was that Badong did not believe in the appeasement general Ata.

Ata has always been an alien among the foreign vassals. He was able to reach the position of appeasement of the general now because he was the confidant of King Yu. It had nothing to do with his ability. For example, in other appeasement zones, although the military and political separation were separated, the appeasement of the general was still greater than that of the counselor, but in Luntai, Ata did not care about anything except the army. He did not care about anything else. He did not care about it, nor was he interested in it.

Ata has a simple personality and a simple mind. There were even rumors that he had insufficient IQ. For example, after others made meritorious service, they all enclosed land as much as possible and exploited the people. However, Ata was different. He had no interest in managing the people. Moreover, because he was not from a high background, he had few confidants around him and even had young children. So he was enthroned in the riverside. Ata directly handed over the territory to the appeasement zone for management. Although he was a foreign vassal, he actually had the power of the internal vassal.

Later, Ata felt that managing the property and slaves was troublesome, so he liberated all the slaves in the territory and distributed them to their land. Then he sold all the remaining private property and saved the money he received in the bank of the Lifanyuan, and lived on interest. As for the political rules and regulations in the officialdom, Ata did not comply with any official position. He would be an official position without asking for promotion and wealth. Even managing children was simple. Whoever could get into the Imperial University would inherit his title, and whoever could get into the Guihua Church would inherit his family property.

In Badong's eyes, such a simple-minded guy is the most unthinkable. Who knows whether this guy will launch an attack when he leaves No. 1 Middle School regardless of the hostages. So the safest thing is to catch Li Yongzhong.

"Let me get in touch with that Badong." Bagel said.

"Mr. Ba, that would be very dangerous." Cao Song said. Although this place is not within the scope of authority, he has the highest title on the spot. He knows Bagher's identity and importance very well.

Bagel said: "Someone has to come forward. If you don't come forward to contact us, Badong will definitely attack the library."

"But how do you prove your identity?"

"I'll prove it." Ata said.

In the teaching building of No. 1 Middle School.

Badong stood in a dark corner, holding a revolver in his hand. The gun originally belonged to Xiremaijiang, and the handle of the golden spear was engraved with the emperor's gift. Badong, who served in the army for more than fifteen years, once dreamed of such semi-automatic firepower. In the battlefields of Persia and Afghanistan, he made many contributions and was qualified to receive similar rewards, but because of the nepotism among the vassal army, the merits and rewards were taken away by officers from the imperial guards. Everything he gave was made for others.

A long time ago, Badong was dissatisfied with the empire because of this incident. During the chaos, he killed Xiremaijiang and killed so many people and innocent students in the riot. Badong did not think he could be pardoned.

"Chief, the hostages are brought in place." A man came down to report.

Badong walked to the gate of the teaching building, opposite the Luntai vas soldiers who controlled the situation. Six hostages knelt on the ground. Badong showed his pistol in front of the vassal soldiers: "Listen, you did not meet my request within the specified time, so you have to punish now. There will be two bullets in this pistol, so two of these six hostages will die."

In front of everyone, Badong performed the operation, which scared all the students to burst into tears. Badong was about to shoot a person in the back of the head when he heard someone shouting outside: "Let's wait."

Bagel slowly walked to Badong and said, "I am Bagel, and I will negotiate with you on behalf of Luntai Appeasement."

Of course, Badong had never seen Bagel. He aimed his gun at Bagel and asked, "How do you prove that you are Bagel."

Bagel handed over a bulging envelope, and Badong's men opened it and found that there was a gun inside.

It was also a revolver, with a line of small words written on the handle of the gun: Given to my best friend and mentor Sun Weigong.

This was when Sun Weigong was involved in the lawsuit against the slave. Li Zhaoying was responsible for protecting his safety. He stayed with Sun Weigong for a long time. This gun was given to Sun Weigong by Li Zhaoying. When he parted in the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce in Lanzhou, Sun Weigong gave the gun to Bagher, so that he could protect himself when he went to Xijin.

Bagel explained the origin of the gun. Badong sneered, opened the bullet nest, and found that there were no bullets inside. He said: "A little trick, can you make a gun temporarily to deceive me?"

Bagel shook his head: "I knew you wouldn't believe it, but I had to take it out because I didn't want to use the second proof, but now, I have to use it."

As he said that, Bagel tore open a corner of his coat, and there was a letter inside. Badong snatched it over and saw it. He was shocked at first, and then believed that the person in front of him was Bagel.

This letter was written by Ata to Bagel, but not to Badong, but to his son Li Yongzhong. Li Yongzhong took the initiative to surrender in exchange for Badong's trust.

"Even if you are not Bagel, you must be a very important person. Well, as long as Li Yongzhong appears in front of me, you can prove that you are Bagel." Badong said, and let Bagel enter the teaching building. But he himself has no special feelings for Bagel, he is not Katijiang.

The building where the library is located is connected to the teaching building, and the two floors below are completely occupied. On the third floor, Li Zhaoying sat peacefully at the desk, looking at a book, and beside him, the students were frightened on their faces, and the guards stood vigilantly at the door and window.

"Your Highness, there is no food or water to bring it up today. It seems that a fire did occur in the early morning. It is said that Katijiang is dead." Li Yongzhong walked to Li Zhaoying and said.

Li Zhaoying put down the book and said, "I hope the new leader can be more wise and rational, and I hope the commander outside is no longer your father, General Ata."

Li Yongzhong nodded and expressed his agreement. The reason was very simple. So far, it was his own wish that the Luntai Appeasement Zone had not yet rescued Li Zhaoyan. Ata didn't care about the life and death of the students and whether his official position was guaranteed. He wanted to attack at the beginning, but Li Zhaoyan asked the guards to notify the outside in flag language to protect the safety of the students.

"The latter is more important. My father has a bad temper. He has received great kindness from His Highness Yu. This time you came here, Prince Yu also wrote to ask my father to take care of you. If such a thing happened, my father must ignore it." Li Yongzhong said.

"Listen to the people inside, someone goes up to communicate with you." A bandit's voice sounded in the corridor.

The bandits were red in their eyes at first, killing people when they saw them, and robbing money when they saw them. They entered the No. 1 Middle School and were only stopped after catching fire with the British King Guard. The weapons of these people were found in Xire Maijiang's house. Although there were many muskets, Li Zhaoyan's subordinates were all two revolvers on their bodies. The bandits cried and called their parents. They had not dared to take the initiative to attack in the past few days, and they just used some tricks.

Xia Wenhai, the person who came up, took out the letter from Ata to Li Yongzhong. After Li Yongzhong read it, a smile flashed across his young face and shook his head helplessly: "I knew that in my father's eyes, his son was not as important as Prince Yu's nephew."

When Xia Wenhai heard this, he thought Li Yongzhong would not dare to go, but he never thought that Li Yongzhong shook his head. Even though he was only eighteen years old, he was fearless. He sorted out his clothes and said to Li Zhaoying: "Ata's son cannot be afraid of death, otherwise he will be beaten to death when he goes back. Prince Ying, if I die, please save my father's life."

Seeing that he was so decisive, Li Zhaoying said, "Your father has a fault, but he certainly won't..."

"I'm not talking about the fact that you hijacked me. I know my father. If I die, he will definitely kill all the bandits and bury them with me. No one can stop him. I hope you can save his life." Li Yongzhong said with a smile. He handed the dagger to Xia Wenhai and said, "Brother Xia, your highness's life and death will be left to you."

Li Yongzhong appeared in front of Badong calmly. He knew this fierce-looking guy. When he saw Bagel, he saluted solemnly and said, "I think you are the Mr. Bagel mentioned by my father. As a foreign noble, I should have hated you, but I am Ata's son. My father said, you have done something he wants to do but cannot do. Salute to you, Mr. Bagel.

His Majesty the Supreme Emperor brought equality to all nations, and you brought this greatness to all grassland nations.”

Bagher said to Badong: "Badong, as agreed, if Li Yongzhong arrives, you should release other hostages, including those on the third floor of the library."

Badong laughed and said, "Let's talk about it when the horse supplies I want arrive."

"Then you at least tell General Ata outside, otherwise it will cause misunderstandings." Bagel reminded.

"That won't work. I want that idiot Atta to taste the feeling of fear." Badong said coldly.

Li Yongzhong sat peacefully on the chair, and Badong asked: "You seem to be scared at all."

Li Yongzhong said: "Everyone here may survive, but I cannot. Badong, I know you, you hate my father. When you retreated from the border battlefield, you were the most powerful one I had dealt with by my father."

"Just understand." Badong grabbed Li Yongzhong's neck, pushed him out the door, and shouted loudly: "Ata, your son is in my hand. As I asked, prepare the things and remove all the soldiers."

"Remove your mother!" Ata's response was louder than that of Badong.
