Jiu waved his arms, kicking down the terrorist in front of him while using his Originium skills to make the flower baskets used as decorations on both sides of the theater suddenly start to grow wildly, creating vines that harassed and restrained the movements of the rest of the people.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

After a few muffled sounds, the Guards officers on standby at each window threw tear gas canisters, and the entire theater was quickly filled with thick tear gas. The terrorists who were not prepared at all lost their ability to resist because of their crazy tears.

Chen and Jiu rushed into the room quickly, and all the terrorists along the way were knocked down by their superb fighting skills.

Soon, the two of them came to a corridor only one wall away from the bomb under the tear gas. Chen saw an enemy in the distance whose eyes were red from being smoked, but he seemed to have not lost his ability to move because of insufficient tear gas.

Chi Xiao draws the sword!

Chen immediately sheathed his sword, and then a cold and clear blade light flashed across the theater corridor and slashed at the confused enemy.

"Detonate! Detonate!"

But it seemed that the man was wearing protective gear, and the distance made the knife lose some of its force. Although Chen's blow caused the other party unbearable pain, he did not fall to the ground completely.

The enemy roared, and seemed to have activated the Originium bomb in the theater through Originium skills.

Chen rushed forward quickly, intending to make up for his mistake. The door of the theater was opened, and hanging in the middle of the hall was the Originium bomb that had begun to glow.

That's too late.

Chen's first reaction was to pull out the Chixiao from his waist. If he could rely on the special effect of this magic weapon to cut off the originium skill, he might be able to prevent the explosion of the originium bomb.

But unfortunately, Chen's awareness was still not enough. This last-minute awareness was not enough to make Chi Xiao surrender. Chi Xiao lay motionless in the scabbard.

Jiu, who rushed in later, threw Chen to the ground and frantically used his Originium skills to spread the potted plants, trying to block and offset part of the explosion.

Snap, snap, snap

The explosion did not happen, but despite the wailing, clear applause was heard in the theater.

"Decisive, but also a bit reckless. He knows how to make amends for his mistakes, but unfortunately his awareness is still a little lacking."

Si Ye walked out from the shadows, kicked the wailing terrorist on the ground to silence, and evaluated Chen Huijie's actions along the way.

"But it's okay. It seems that Wei Yanwu sent you to study in Victoria after all. You're a little better off than your sister."

Hearing the noise, Jiu and Chen got up from the ground, and what caught their eyes was still the Originium bomb that began to glow.

However, this time, the two of them immediately discovered the clues of the bomb. Although the bomb had entered the detonation state, the light produced by the collapse of the source stone was constantly lost as if it was swallowed by an invisible fault, so it has not yet accumulated enough energy to produce an explosion.

Chen looked at Si Ye who walked out from the shadows. She didn't hear the previous comments clearly, but she still recognized Si Ye as the unfamiliar face who had entered the Guard Bureau with the Penguin Logistics employees. He shouldn't be here.

In this situation, Chen Huijie subconsciously wanted to draw her sword to guard against Si Ye, but the previous critical situation caused her standard sword to slip out of her hand. Now her hand was on Chi Xiao, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get Chi Xiao to leave the sheath at all.

"You shouldn't use the Dragon Slaying Sword like this. If you can't pull it out, it only means one thing: you're not determined enough, or you're not strong enough."

Si Ye's voice came from beside him in an instant. Chen felt a lightness on his waist, and Chi Xiao, which exuded a murderous aura, was held in Si Ye's hand.

Jiuben wanted to take action, but when he saw that Si Ye didn't seem to have any intention of hurting Chen Huijie, he stopped.

"Are you Commander Wei's man?"

Seeing Si Ye pull out Chi Xiao so easily, Chen Huijie first felt a little frustrated. Then, looking at the terrorists around her who had been knocked down, she guessed Si Ye's identity.

"I have nothing to do with Wei Yanwu. Rather, I came to Longmen to find him besides you."

Si Ye inserted Chi Xiao into the floor and waved his hand. The guards appeared silently beside Si Ye.

Feeling the transcendent aura and oppression of the guards, Chen couldn't help but take two steps back and swallow his saliva.

"But is it Chen Huijie, a member of the Chen clan?"

The guards followed the procedure and began to inquire about Chen Huijie's identity.

"...My father has disowned me...Am I still considered a member of the Chen clan?"

Talking about Chen and his father, Chen Huijie's face immediately became gloomy.

Although he couldn't figure out the situation, seeing that the other party had a distinguished background, Chen Huijie felt that there was a high probability that he would be involved in an incident involving the Yan State's upper echelons at the same level as Wei Yanwu. His attitude couldn't be said to be resistance, but it wasn't cooperative either.

"Since it's me."

The guards ignored Chen's attitude. After all, they had been following Yan Wen and Si Ye these days, and they knew that Chen Huijie's role was not much greater than that of a mascot, so there was no point in arguing about his attitude.

"Announcement, in compliance with the Supreme True Dragon's decree, order: Chen's daughter Huijie must immediately respond to the decree and come to the capital without delay."

The air seemed to freeze for a moment. Chen and Jiu looked at each other through their masks and spoke in unison.

"what?"

Chapter 138 Wei Yanwu's Anxiety

"Chen, Chen Huijie, why don't you accept the imperial edict?"

Seeing Chen Huijie in a daze, the imperial guard stepped forward and reminded him with the imperial edict in his hand.

"…Who wrote this edict?"

Si Ye asked another guard in a low voice, because the more he listened to the decree, the more he felt something was wrong.

"Your Majesty, it was written by the Grand Tutor."

"Then old man, can't you write in more detail? This imperial edict sounds as if I want to bring this dragon girl into the capital to be my harem."

The atmosphere felt tense, and Si Ye felt that the atmosphere he had painstakingly prepared was destroyed by this vague decree.

"...Your search for an agent to guard the Hundred Zao for you is a matter of great importance, and I'm sure the Grand Master wouldn't dare to state it too explicitly."

"That'd better be true."

Thinking of that cunning old man, Si Ye curled his lips, looked at Chen Hejiu with a dazed face, walked forward and took the imperial edict.

"You're allowed to keep it for now. If you think it's fake, I'll allow you to come with me to find Wei Yanwu to verify it... But I have a feeling that Wei Yanwu is probably in trouble right now."

After putting the imperial edict into Chen Huijie's hand, Si Ye raised his hand to ask the imperial guards.

"Let's go see where Yan Wen is and where Wei Yanwu's family is. We'll leave after the Guards clean up the mess."

"...Ah Chen, you're not really going to enter the palace to become a concubine, are you?"

Although Jiu usually acts seriously, he also reads some Yan country literature in his spare time.

If Chen Huijie was a man, Jiu would think this was the return of the Dragon King, but Chen Huijie was a woman, so Jiu couldn't help but think it was a drama of a clan girl entering the palace to compete for favor and become the mother of the country.

But the mother of the world...

Jiu looked at Chen Huijie and felt that he must have been overthinking.

“…I don’t know.”

Chen Huijie didn't react to Jiu's teasing look. She was also confused. What was going on?

"I'm going to follow that person to Governor Wei to verify the situation and deal with the aftermath..."

"Leave the aftermath to me."

Because this matter seemed really outrageous, Jiu directly approved Chen's vacation and agreed to her request to terminate the mission and leave the team immediately.

...

Longmen Governor's Office.

In the core area of ​​Longmen, where every inch of land is valuable, the Longmen Governor's Mansion still adheres to the Yan State construction style of being nestled against the mountains and beside the water, with pavilions and waterside terraces, highlighting the status and wealth of the Governor of Longmen.

The owner of the Governor's Mansion, Wei Yanwu, the highest administrative officer of Longmen, was pacing back and forth in the courtyard with a frown on his face, looking very annoyed.

As the governor of Longmen, the burden of nearly 100 plots of land and tens of millions of people in Longmen is borne by him alone. He works hard every day, but there are always some things that go wrong.

Since its development, Longmen has created one business miracle after another by relying on external approaches such as openness and inclusiveness, but at the same time it has also become a shackle and bottleneck for Longmen.

Open, Longmen is open, but what is open is not Longmen. What Wei Yanwu wants is a vibrant industry and healthy and progressive civilians, not an increasing number of gang members and infected people.

Longmen is divided into inner and outer urban areas. The inner urban area is extremely expensive and has reached its limit of development, but the chaos in the slums in the outer urban area has discouraged businessmen and speculators. The increasing number of infected people has become an unstable factor. Wei Yanwu is thinking about whether to clear out the infected people in the slums once and for all.

Of course, if the slum issue alone was not enough to make Wei Yanwu so upset, what made him even more uneasy was that there was a problem with his intelligence system.

As the former crown prince, even after so many years of changes, there are still many people in the Baizao court who were trained for his ascension to the throne.

But just a few days ago, there seemed to be some big movement in Baizao, and then Wei Yanwu's information channels in Baizao were cut off, which made him feel deeply uneasy.

After all, Wei Yanwu could choose not to inquire in order to avoid trouble, but in order to feel at ease, he must have such an information channel.

But now, the information Wei Yanwu could get was shrouded in fog, and he completely lost his understanding of the internal intelligence of Dayan.

He, Wei Yanwu, the governor of an administrative area, actually lost contact with the central government. This did not sound like a good sign. He wondered what his "jealous" brother was up to.

Moreover, there were signs of troop movements in Ursus to the north, and Kazdel to the west seemed to be making some big moves, recalling a large number of wandering Sarkaz.

"Troublesome times..."

Wei Yanwu puffed out smoke with a worried look on his face. He felt that the burden on him was so heavy that it made it difficult for him to breathe.

"Don't be so gloomy. Aren't there some things that you, the Governor of Longmen, should consider?"

A gentle female voice sounded in the courtyard, and a woman with a single horn on her head walked into the courtyard wearing a coat, waving away the smoke in the air with some dissatisfaction.

"Wen Yue, I'm just scared."

Wei Yanwu, who is tough and decisive in his actions, actually showed some weakness in front of the woman called Wen Yue, and cooperated by extinguishing the pipe in his hand.

"What are you afraid of? No matter what, I'll face it with you."

Wen Yue stepped forward, lit the small stove on the stone table in the yard, and began to boil water and make tea for Wei Yanwu.

"Ugh…"

Wei Yanwu let out a sigh, as if he was moved, but also as if he was melancholy, but he managed to suppress the sadness between his brows.

"Let's take one step at a time."

Watching the steam rising from the clay pot's spout, Wen Yue found a new topic to talk about: "I heard that a pharmaceutical company's land-based ship is going to dock with Longmen today. It seems to be called..."

"Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals. Hei Mino had heard of this name from some Sarkaz before. They were said to be primarily focused on treating and improving the conditions of the infected. It seems that Kazdel's mysterious changes were due to their contributions."

Wei Yanwu took over the conversation, and his words seemed to show some disdain for Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals.

"How can there be such a thing as a free lunch in this world? It's just that some core circle country wants to take advantage of the Sarkaz."

"You always think too badly of things. If they came to Longmen, wouldn't you let them in anyway?"

Wen Yue handed the teacup to Wei Yanwu. Although preparing for the worst in everything is a characteristic of a qualified ruler, it always sounds a bit too depressing and lifeless.
