Longmen Memoirs

The elevator continued to rise and stopped on the seventeenth floor. There were green plants on both sides of the elevator entrance, and the footsteps were almost inaudible on the soft carpet under the soles of his boots. It stopped in front of Room 1705. He raised his hand hesitantly in the air and knocked on the door. .

After a few seconds the door was opened.

This *book&' is written by {[%

The amber eyes reflected the young man who opened the door. He raised his five fingers and spread them out. A brisk smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, revealing his white teeth and dazzling tiger fangs.

"Yo, hello."

He doesn't look like a stranger.

The young man opposite did not respond, and looked at him for a few seconds. The look made him a little nervous and a little expectant.

"Sorry, I'm very poor, please find someone else."

He replied calmly, pretending to close the door.

"Wait!" The smile disappeared, and he hurriedly reached out to hold the door that he wanted to close. He raised his head and looked at the young man and explained: "I'm not here to sell products door-to-door."

The expected perfect reunion was completely ruined.

The closing movement stopped.

"Introduce yourself, I'm your new partner, you can call me Foxhound."

He was holding the door, and he could see the other person frowning after hearing these words. He let go of the hand behind the door, and he couldn't tell whether he was disappointed or regretful.

"partner?"

"Yes, partner, why don't you invite me in?"

The other party glanced at the long black box in his hand.

"come in."

The foxhound walked into the room and looked around the hotel. It had a very common layout. The coat was draped on the seat. The half-opened window made the temperature in the room slightly cooler. You could clearly see the rooftop of the building opposite from the window. signal towers and air conditioning units.

The sound of the door closing sounded behind me.

"Sit anywhere."

Foxhound turned around, and Chen Mo crossed him and sat on the single sofa.

The long box was placed on the table, and the foxhound sat opposite Chen Mo.

"You don't seem to be surprised by my arrival?" After a short silence, Foxhound asked.

"I know someone might be coming. To make a long story short, what's your purpose of coming and what does your partner mean?"

"Literally, someone hopes that you can help him handle some things, and as your contact person, I will be responsible for cooperating with your actions in the future. To put it simply, we are partners for the time being."

"specific?"

Foxhound shrugged: "That's the order I received. Someone will notify us of what we are going to do. Of course, only I know the contact information. Don't mind."

Chen Mo didn't say anything, and Foxhound asked again: "I haven't asked yet, what is your name?"

"snake."

"What's the code name? What's the real name?"

"Don't you know?"

"It's just a joke." Foxhound smiled: "Chen Mo, right? He used to be from Longmen. He just came back three days ago. The customs registration information is Colombia. Visiting friends, that's all I know."

"What do you want to say?" Chen Mo frowned.

"It's just a reasonable curiosity about the identity of the new colleague." Foxhound said, waving his hand indifferently: "I heard that you just came back from outside, and your hometown dialect is not unfamiliar. How do you feel? Do you find that Longmen has changed a lot? Do you want me to go shopping with you and get familiar with your future work environment?"

"no need."

Chen Mo shook his head. The familiar temper of the guy in front of him who called himself Foxhound made him a little uncomfortable.

"Don't refuse in a hurry. As colleagues, we will have to spend some time together in the future. You haven't found a place to live yet."

【+*

"The response is very quick, but you have to live with me so that I can monitor you."

Foxhound said it casually, with no intention of hiding it. "Although I don't know where you come from and what your purpose is, I can see that you are not surprised by my arrival, but you don't know the purpose of my coming and are wary of me. I guess When you saw me, you were probably considering whether to take action."

"so what?"

"I mean no harm, Mr. Chen." Foxhound looked directly into Chen Mo's eyes, the atmosphere was filled with tension in the slightly cold temperature, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"If I have ill intentions towards you, I'm not the only one here."

"Are you warning me?"

"No, I prefer to call it honest communication." Foxhound said calmly: "Your attitude will determine the way we get along with each other, as well as your future situation."

"So you told me your purpose so blatantly?"

"I think a certain degree of frankness is the basis for establishing initial trust between the two parties. My frankness will also help save unnecessary trouble between us and let you cooperate with my work. Why not."

Foxhound opened his hands and answered, picking up the box and placing it on the table to open it.

"This is what someone asked me to bring you."

He unlocked the lock, and inside the box was a long red sword with the standard of the Guards Bureau. The red blade was like solidified blood, and the sharp blade reflected the cold light.

"A knife?"

"It's not an ordinary knife, Chi Xiao." Foxhound closed the long box and pushed it in front of Chen Mo: "It's yours now."

Chen Mo withdrew his gaze and looked at the fox hound.

"What do you mean?"

"Why do you think I know the intention?" Foxhound asked matter-of-factly, and extended his hand: "Then I wish us a happy cooperation, Mr. Chen."

Two people who didn't trust each other held each other's hands and became partners.

"Nice to work with, Foxhound."

Chapter 3 Even if things are different and people are different

Office of the Chief Executive of Longmen.

There are several photos placed on the large mahogany desk. In the photos, black-haired men appear in every corner of Longmen. The latest one shows him standing in front of the old house of Chen Mansion on Taiheng Road.

Compared with the photo of him when he was a child in Longmen, the boy has grown up a lot and has become more stable and mature.

It's not just his appearance.

An old piece of letter paper was placed quietly next to the photo. The writing on it was yellowed and looked like it had been there for many years. There was a note pressed on the letter paper.

There are only a few fragmentary passages on the note.

【Yanwu 15 years ago】

This was a piece of paper left for him to give to the old servant of Chen Mansion, saying that someone would come and take it away.

The smoke from the ancient smoking gun was lingering. The man wearing an expensive coat behind the desk had been sitting here for an unknown length of time. He was deep in thought, his brows slightly furrowed, and a thick layer of cigarette plates accumulated among the ashes.

The gentle footsteps failed to interrupt the man's thoughts. The graceful and luxurious woman slowly came behind the man. He saw the photos on the table and his eyes narrowed slightly, falling on those short lines of words.

"I haven't seen you with such a frown on your face in many years." Wen Yue said softly: "The child is back?"

Wei Yanwu came back to his senses and his eyes fell on the paper sign on the table.

The spark lit up at the end of the pipe, and he blew out a puff of smoke.

"came back."

"Have you never thought that he would come back? Old Wei, you knew this day would come." Wen Yue reached out and picked up the photo on the table, staring at the young man in the painting: "He has grown up, and Xiao Chen and the others Same, Xiaota, I haven’t seen Xiaota again for many years... What do you think he will think of you and what we did back then."

"He's forcing me to respond, huh, where does he get the courage!"

"So...what are you going to do?"

"Is it possible that I have to compromise with him? I have been kind enough to them for the stupid things they did back then." Wei Yanwu replied in a deep voice, put down his pipe, knocked it, and said contemptuously: "How can he force me to speak."

"I never asked that."

Wei Yanwu fell silent and just looked away from Wen Yue's eyes that seemed to have guessed his thoughts.

"So you decided to ignore it? But he already told you that he knew."

Wen Yue put down the photo and looked at Wei Yanwu with gentle eyes.

"I didn't stop you at first because I knew you were right. It was not a good thing to leave the child in Longmen, but he has already come into contact with Hui Jie and Xiaota. I know what you are worried about. There is nothing you can do about it. Let you put it down." Wen Yue said: "But ten years have passed, Old Wei, and the child has suffered ten years outside. Now that he is back, the resentment in your heart should be gone. The child has not done anything wrong. "

"Just because he doesn't have it now, doesn't mean he won't in the future."

"Unless you force him." Wen Yue said dissatisfied.

"You... no matter what you say, it's all my fault." Wei Yanwu wanted to retort, but he couldn't be so strong when the words came to his mouth.

"Because what I'm thinking is also what you're thinking, why not be more honest." Wen Yue said with a chuckle. "You hope that he will never come back in your life. When you drove him away, you were prepared for him to come back. Meet him properly, Lao Wei. Everything that happened 15 years ago was good for you. "

"His temperament is exactly the same as that of my stubborn foster brother." Wei Yanwu sighed softly: "It's a pity that he left too early."

"He knows your difficulties." Wen Yue said softly, and added: "...just like Edward back then."

Wei Yanwu couldn't help but look at Wen Yue, whose eyes were as gentle as water, but Wei Yanwu knew that Wen Yue mentioned this name on purpose.

"You..."

Wei Yanwu didn't have the heart to blame Wen Yue. He lowered his eyelids and took a deep breath of smoke. The smoke rose and knotted in his lungs.

"I can't forget the look in her eyes when she looked at me. Wenyue... seemed to be begging, but also seemed to be blaming me for my coldness. She regarded me as her last refuge. I would rather she rushed up to question me, but she didn't. By doing that, she didn't even reveal her hatred for me. She did hate me, but she knew how to make a person uneasy and not trust me until she died." Wei Yanwu's voice was filled with melancholy: "It's been many years. I can’t even forget it.”

"Are you guilty?"

"Guilty, I won't feel guilty, I just can't forget that I have wronged too many people and I am not qualified to talk about guilt."

"Not forgetting is not necessarily a bad thing, Old Wei." Wen Yue slowly walked to Wei Yanwu, took his hand and held it in her hand: "Sometimes I wonder, have we done everything right these years? We haven't It’s time to look back, Old Wei, Xiao Chen has always hated you, Xiao Ta has also left Longmen, if we had told those two children everything, would we have been able to prevent this from happening."

"You always keep everything in your heart, and you forget, Lao Wei, whether it's you or me, we will grow old, and they are growing up."

Wei Yanwu closed his eyes gently, and after a few seconds, he opened them again due to the warmth coming from his palms.

"Cosiche will not die in Tallulah's hands so easily. That is an insidious old snake. He must be plotting sinister plans again, perhaps starting when he was killed by Tallulah. Brewing. But I will not regret it. No matter what he is planning, what happened 20 years ago must never happen again."

Wei Yanwu focused his attention on the photo on the table, the black-haired man in the photo.

"We can't predict what he will do in the future... Wenyue, how far can he go? He has too many choices, and Longmen cannot take risks for his choices."

He is the city lord of Longmen, but he is only the city lord of Longmen. He has paid too much for this city, so much so that he broke up with his relatives, even lost his relatives, and felt guilty and helpless, but he never regretted it, and he also There was no hesitation.

"What are you going to do? Force him to be like Xiao Chen and Xiao Ta."

"I can also leave him at Longmen."

"Then would you do that?"

Wei Yanwu's tone was decisive: "I have done the same thing many times, but for Longmen, I will never regret or hesitate."

------

The meeting with Foxhound was not a pleasant one. So far, Chen Mo's knowledge of her was limited to Wei Yanwu's subordinate and the name Foxhound, and nothing else.

He was actually ready.

Chen Mo is now confident that he can escape from the city before Wei Yanwu takes action [~~

He was also prepared for the possibility that Wei Yanwu would come in person. There was no chance that he wouldn't come in person. A child who had been away for more than ten years and was only involved with two little girls was not worthy of Wei Yanwu's condescension to meet him. But a secret from the Yan Kingdom, A monster with the title of King Wu, a person who may be involved in the political stance of Yan and Longmen, is worthy of Wei Yanwu's efforts.

After leaving the note, Chen Mo knew that Wei Yanwu had two choices. One was to keep him here forever, and the other was to meet him in person. He preferred the latter because the risk of the former was higher than that of the latter. Too big, unless he can guarantee that Yanhui will ignore his identity as King Wu and will not let Longmen fall into a whirlpool that he cannot control.

The identity of King Wu is the greatest guarantee for Chen Mo's safety, but it is also an uncertain guarantee, depending on the attitudes of Wei Yanwu and Yan.

Maybe better, maybe worse.

But Wei Yanwu didn't have a choice, he just sent the foxhound over.

There were no large armies pressing down on the border, no raids and arrests.

}+[(} Only a guy named Volper brought a weapon named Chixiao.

Perhaps Chen Mo should have thought that the experience that happened many years ago had too many shadows, and Wei Yanwu's attitude was too strange. What was he considering, and what did he hope to see.

Chen Mo didn't care.

He didn't care about Wei Yanwu's purpose, just like he didn't stage a scene of challenging the Guards Bureau with a sword on the day he returned to Longmen, nor did he become a qualified assassin, sneak into Wei Yanwu's mansion, and cut off his Dog head.
