Longmen Memoirs

Outside the window was the sunny sky in Kazdale, the clean and wide roads, and the tall buildings. Everything seemed to be very different from the barren and broken land in the memory of the old Sakaz.

"You are telling that story again. You have told it hundreds of times every year since I was a child. It is obvious that the Night Watchmen are just rumors and stories circulated in the market. How can such a group of people really exist?"

The middle-aged Sakaz on the side turned around and said casually.

"Fart, who wouldn't sleep every night when he was a kid?" Old Saka scolded. "You still swear that you will be a night watchman when you grow up, and you don't even look in the mirror. You are so bear-like, are you worthy?"

"I am your son!"

The middle-aged Sakaz reminded loudly, and the old Saka was stunned and sighed helplessly.

"Yeah, how could I give birth to someone like you?"

"..."

The middle-aged Sakaz didn't say a word for a long time, and finally could only retort in a low voice.

"It's not like I was young and ignorant. I haven't believed it since I entered middle school."

"Is what dad said true?" The young Sakaz looked at the old man disappointedly: "Grandpa, are you lying?"

The old man glanced in the direction of the middle-aged man.

"Stop listening to that bastard's nonsense. He knows nothing."

"Then you can tell me what happened to the Night Watchmen. Was it true that the leader of the Night Watchmen was tried by the late king and sentenced to death as per the rumors?" middle-aged Sakaz asked unconvinced.

The old man was stunned.

He suddenly fell silent, just sighed softly, turned to look at the bright sky outside the window, his cloudy eyes gradually became moist.

Your Majesty Theresia, our beloved Lord Sarkaz, the most benevolent king in the history of Kazdaele, how could you...how could you be so cold and heartless...

June 1092, 1, Crystalline Era

capital of kazder

17:25P.M

Leaving the court station.

Chen Mo sat quietly behind the desk. Outside the window was the blood-yellow sunset setting in Kazdale in the afternoon. The shadow across the window fell slantingly into the empty office. The desk that was once filled with documents was rarely empty.

The heavy sword and the sword with the inscription left by the King of Martial in the Kazdael were neatly placed on the weapon rack next to the curtains, bathed in the dim sunlight.

【Seeing words like meeting, Chen Gouzizi:

I have received the letters you asked the courier to bring to Longmen. One of them I have personally delivered to Chen Huijie. You should have received this letter a month in advance, but I left the courier in Longmen. I want to know the reason. You shouldn't blame me either.

When I write to you, it is snowing outside the window. The snow falls very early this year. It is estimated that by the time you receive this letter, it will already be snowing season in Kazdale. Although I have never been to Kazdale, But I guess the location there won't be much different.

You probably won’t be able to make it back in time for the New Year this year.

I have two pieces of news for you, one good and one bad.

Let’s talk about the bad news first. You must have never imagined that your Chen Huijie became pregnant after returning from Victoria. I’m afraid you know better than I do what you did. If Chen Huijie and other men haven’t had a relationship beyond just friends. , then congratulations, you are now a father.

Isn't it a surprise? So I left the messenger behind. I think you also want to meet your daughter. Chen Huijie named her Chen Xiaomo. Alas, so she probably has no further relationship with any other man except you. It’s related.

The photo is enclosed in the envelope. By the way, I am now responsible for the security of your daughter. What is regrettable is that the little guy was born with Originium Disease. Although it is not serious, it is difficult to say in the future. Chief Wei has ordered I have blocked this news. Don’t worry, although he has a prejudice against you, Chen Xiaomo is Chen Huijie’s daughter after all. Even if you, an incompetent father, hold your daughter back, it currently cannot affect the little guy in Longmen. status.

Chief Wei is very protective of her. You may not expect that he would actually ask about the little one from time to time. I can't help but think that when he is asking people about how to interact with newborn babies, others know that he often appears in What kind of expression would Wei Yanwu, the chief executive of Longmen, show on TV? I wanted to check Chief Wei's private browsing history, but the risk was too great.

Although it was inevitable that people would think that he was trying to make amends for something, Chen Huijie never liked him very much.

I heard people say that they have had a lot of conflicts in the National Guard Bureau recently. Ah, maybe this is related to the emotional changes of pregnant women after giving birth. I don't really understand, but this is what the doctor explained to me.

I guess I will never have this opportunity in my life.

Enough of the bad news.

Now let’s talk about the good news. Chen Huijie was originally going to reply to you. If nothing else, you will receive a letter from her at the same time as this letter. But the good news is that I told her that the messenger has returned. , so you probably won’t receive a reply from Chen Huijie.

I guess when you read this, you must feel very unhappy. It's okay to be unhappy. I was not in a good mood when I wrote this letter.

When I was in Victoria, I sent Chen Huijie to find you, but I didn't expect that things would turn into what they are now. You are also an infected person after all. Don't you know what you are?

Okay, okay, maybe this can't be all your fault, but to be honest, I just have some ideas that I don't quite understand.

Gouzi, you just settled the matter with Kazdel in a few moments and went home quickly. Although you were telling lies when you wrote to Chen Huijie, don’t underestimate her. She has been around recently. The name of the Health Bureau is very resounding. You should suffer when you come back, but it is just your own fault. I will not sympathize with you.

Finally, when will you return to Longmen?

Enter Su Fox. 】

The style of the whole letter was exaggerated and frivolous, not like the impression left by a fox. Maybe she was really hit by something. Chen Mo could think of a fox lying in front of the table, with its floppy ears and furry tail pulled down. , while gritting his teeth, he wrote this reply in a sinister manner.

Especially the good news and bad news in her letter, Chen Mo was sure that the fox did not write the wrong words, but that she was really careful and mistook the good news for bad news and the bad news for good news.

At least that's what she must have been thinking when she wrote it.

Fox, fox, Chen Mo didn't expect that she would hide such a stupid side.

He picked up the pen and added at the end of the letter: Soon, I will probably be able to go back this fall. Also, little Su Hu, wait until I come back to take a closer look at your ears.

Although the fox couldn't see it, Chen Mo was still so happy that the haze he had been feeling for a long time was dispelled.

He repeatedly looked at the photo in the envelope. Although the fox's letter was full of pettiness, she was finally not petty enough to exclude Chen Ye from the photo.

In the photo, Chen Huijie is holding the baby in her arms on the hospital bed. Her expression is confused, overwhelmed and gentle, unlike any scene about Chen in Chen Mo's memory.

"Xiao Mo...my daughter."

wait me back.

The sound of knocking on the door sounded at this time.

Chen Mo put away the photo and put it in his pocket.

"Come in."

The door was pushed open and Ni Yan's figure appeared at the door. Chen Mo was a little surprised.

Mudstone closes the door.

"Sir..."

"No more. I ordered the court to be disbanded three days ago. Not surprisingly, you were one of them at the time, Mud Rock."

"No, you are still my commander."

"There is no point in being obsessed with this." Chen Mo shook his head: "Now you should go to the Royal Guards to report, not come here."

"You have changed many people's views. We all see this. We know that you are doing the right thing. Kazdale does need to change. You just did what you should do, but you should not be responsible for these consequences alone." Come and bear it, no, this is not right, if this Kazdale is the Kazdale we expect, if Kazdale and His Highness’s Tower of Babel require you to make sacrifices and concessions for this, I will never agree with this result!"

"You..." Chen Mo looked up at Ni Yan with a determined look on his face, then turned to look at the door: "Or are you, do you all think so?"

"Yes." Mudyan said.

"We all agree that if you are guilty, it is not your fault alone. We do not agree with this result."

The door was pushed open, and Chen Mo saw the soldiers standing at the door, including Hoge, Karl, and Su Enyang. There were many familiar faces and some unfamiliar faces, but he knew most of them.

He knew all the nobles of different sizes in Sakaz, and he also knew most of the people in the court. Even if he couldn't name some of them, he knew that they were one of his own.

But now they are all here, their crowded figures blocking the entire corridor.

"You shouldn't be here," he said.

"From the day we were sworn in to join Li Court, we have been a member of Li Court. Even if you order the dissolution of Li Court, we still remember everything we have fought for." Ni Yan said, his words were sonorous and powerful, without any trace of Shaking determination: "From scratch, I can still remember it vividly. From the day I left Grai with you four years ago, we fought side by side, we relied on each other, and we have long been an indivisible whole."

"I didn't teach you this."

"But you told us! Tell us why we should take up arms and fight. More than once, I saw you flipping through the roster alone late at night. Your roster records the name of each warrior..."

"You never dare to forget the number of people who have sacrificed their lives in the past few years. This number is getting more and more. You always say that many people should not have fallen here, so you are always at the forefront of the Li Court front, but you just You are our commander, if you also fall, what can we do even if we are alive!"

Mudrock's retort grew louder.

"You always say that you are not good at psychological counseling, but you have never avoided our confusion. We all see it. Sir, how many times have you been injured for our Sakaz, and you have shed blood for Kazdel. How many times of blood, how many assassinations have you suffered, ha... Now the Tower of Babel no longer needs you, they don't remember, not even Theresa, yes, they can choose to forget, ignore slander, slander , smear, they impose on you the charges of the massacre of the Senate, they impose charges on you that do not belong to you, you don’t have to care, they don’t have to care, but we!... We the people remember It's crystal clear! How dare we forget what they did!"

"Shut up! Who told you to say that! Who instigated you to say that!"

Chen Mo stood up suddenly, furious.

"How dare you say that, how dare you openly mention His Highness's name? What do you want to do? Do you want to rebel? The war has only been over for a long time, and you are so eager to be sent to the gallows, aren't you?!"

"Even if we are sent to the gallows, we will never regret it! If Kazdaele's crown needs to step on your body to be crowned, we will never agree to such a thing happening in front of our eyes, even if she is Theresia!"

Mudshi's hanging palms were tightly clenched.

She looked directly at the angry Chen Mo without giving in at all. Sakaz's back was straight, facing the commander she had supported and respected, and everything in the past was still vivid in her mind.

"...We are Sakaz, but we are no one's slaves. Today, those of us who decided to come here never thought about escaping unscathed!"

Chen Mo suddenly became quiet, and he sat down slowly and dejectedly.

"Then, what do you want me to do..."

He bypassed the mudstone and looked at the crowded crowd at the door: "I hope that I will take up arms and lead you to resist the Tower of Babel and the new Kazdaele, so that you who finally survived will fall on the battlefield again fighting with your compatriots. A meaningless fall is not even a sacrifice, it is regarded as rebellion, or it is said that I am taking you away, keeping you away from your homeland and hard-won victory."

"No, I won't do that. You didn't die on the battlefield, let alone after the war..." He whispered, lowering his gaze like a lion about to roar: "While I can still tolerate your current behavior, Before you do anything, get out of here immediately and go back to where you should be!"

"Forgive me for refusing! You have no right to order us anymore. We are not going anywhere today!"

The entrance to the Liting residence.

The car was stopped.

The soldiers guarding the door saw clearly the identity of the person coming, and they drew their weapons without hesitation.

The blade is piercing.

"Get out, people of the Tower of Babel, you are not welcome here, this is not the place you should be!"

"Scout? You... are you even standing opposite us?" the leader of the soldiers asked in disbelief, followed by an angry question: "Even you have forgotten everything the leader has done for us, and even you want to betray Did you kill us?"

"No, Konkov, I am just like you. I never dare to forget what he has done for us. I always remember that I have known Brother Chen longer than you, much longer. He just came to the Tower of Babel. We knew each other before we joined us, and later we became friends and comrades-in-arms, and I still feel that way now.”

"In that case...why are you here!" Konkov did not put down his weapon.

"Because someone wants to see Brother Chen."

"Who!"

The rear door was gently pushed open.

"If it were me, would you stop me? Konkov."

Chapter 37 So I killed them

"Your Highness...Your Highness?"

Theresia's figure pushed open the car door, and she stood in front of Konkov. Sakaz's hand, which was used to holding a knife, was trembling. Even in the face of the most dangerous situation, he had never wavered like this. His expression was changing, but he was still gritting his teeth and unwilling to put down his weapon.

"You, you are a group of upright and admirable warriors, Konkov." Theresa said softly. "Even if your weapon is pointed at me now, neither I nor Scout, who is traveling with me, feel the slightest worry about this. Scout trusts you. He has told me more than once that, including the Tower of Babel, we are far away from home." Courtyard is the safest place in Kazdare for me, and I think so."

"Perhaps I could have been assassinated anywhere in the Tower of Babel, but never here, and never even the slightest bit of harm here."

Konkov's eyes looked at Scout in the car. Scout didn't even get out of the car. Konkov or the entire people leaving the court had more or less heard of Scout's reputation, and he didn't even show the slightest warning.

"But...but, Your Highness..." Konkov finally lowered his hand holding the handle of the knife in despair. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Why...why don't you even trust us anymore?" Leader, you clearly know why the leader is doing all this, and you clearly know that the leader is doing the right thing, but you have never said a word, you are Theresia, could it be that the one we once trusted, Have our beliefs been ruined because of this damn war?"

"I trust you, Konkov, and I trust your leader, no matter in the past, present or future, this will never change!"

"Then you shouldn't have signed that order!"

"Are you questioning my resolution? Konkov."

"...If your decision is correct, I will never doubt it. Even if your decision requires my life, I will be willing to do so. But what if your decision is wrong? What if I am not the only one who thinks your decision is wrong? ?”

Konkov asked: "There are some things that I don't need to say. Your Highness knows better than me. You know the origin of Gray, and you know everything the leader has done. We have all thought that this day might come in the future, but we also believe that you will not It will disappoint us.”

"So, did I let you down?"

Konkov didn't answer, and no one answered Theresa's question.

Theresia lowered her gaze and looked at the soldiers standing in front of her. She had disappointed these soldiers and they were disappointed in her. She saw the answer in their eyes.
