Longmen Memoirs

"excuse me."

"It doesn't matter. There are so many people with similar looks in the world. This is the first time I have heard such remarks from others." He paused, turned around and asked: "The customs and customs of Longmen are indeed different from those of Dayan. I have lived there for a long time. I have never heard of a city like Longmen on the frontier. Wei Gong, I wonder if you can send someone to be my guide."

"It's natural."

"I think Superintendent Chen is very suitable."

"Superintendent Chen is in a very important position at the scene, um, but it depends on what Superintendent Chen means, Superintendent Chen?"

"Sir, I have no objection."

"In that case, it's time to work." Chen looked at him and stretched out his hand.

Chen hesitated and held his hand.

"On site, arrange for another car immediately."

"No need to worry about it, Gao Yi."

The infantry and cavalry deputy standing behind him ordered him to stand up straight.

"exist."

"You stay, Superintendent Chen and I can ride in the same car."

"Yes."

The motorcade set off towards the Longmen Banquet Mansion.

Police officers from the traffic unit assisted in regulating the elevated traffic flow in the city.

The rows of high-rise buildings in Longmen Core City were reflected outside the car window. Inside the car, Chen's eyes were looking at the quiet man in the back seat from the rearview mirror.

He closed his eyes and remained silent.

"Xingxiong, why are you here, and where is Chen Huijie? Isn't she the responsible on-site commander?"

"Missy, the scene is over? Lao Chen..." Xingxiong shrugged, and she pointed in the direction of the elevated road.

"What do you mean?"

"She is in His Highness's car now."

"???!"

"Ha? Ha!! Did I hear it right? I heard it right. What did you just say? Are you sure you weren't joking?"

"I'm pretty sure I'm not joking. In fact, I don't know what happened. The team at the motorcade responded to the letter 10 minutes ago. Lao Chen is now on his way to the official residence."

"She...how did she do it?" Shi Huaiya couldn't believe it.

"Isn't there a banquet tonight? The inspection team is responsible for the security of the banquet. You can ask her when Lao Chen comes back."

"I'm going to ask her. It's strange that she would tell me, Fenchanglong, what's going on."

"Relax, Missy. Give Lao Chen some confidence and there won't be any trouble again."

Just because she is Chen Huijie, I don't worry about her causing any diplomatic incidents.

Chapter 8 The one who loves you

The police sentry drone of the Longmen Guards Bureau is flying at 45 kilometers per hour [=

Outside the car window, not more than ten kilometers away, the high-rise buildings in the core buildings of Longmen city reflected the vast and clear sky. Birds flew by at low altitude, and the motorcade drove smoothly on the elevated highway of Longmen.

The car became quiet for a short time. During the silence, Chen occasionally saw the man sitting behind him in the rearview mirror, lowering his eyes and flipping through the information in his hand.

Chen Neng could guess what it was. In the past three days, apart from cooperating with the Guards Bureau to deploy the security plan, the most Gao Yi had done was to meet with the representatives of the major chambers of commerce in Longmen who came to visit.

Because the army needs to open up a supply route from Longmen, all parties are making preparations in the hope of connecting with the Yan Kingdom's army. The most important thing is that the Longmen Chamber of Commerce hopes to mobilize supplies and connect with the young His Highness. Get on the line and open up a trade route to the interior of Dayan.

In fact, when Chen came back to his senses, he already felt that he was a little impulsive, and so did Wei Yanwu, who just let her take on the position of guide in a confused way. Please come on, she is the leader of the inspection team of the Longmen Guards Bureau, and she has a lot of things waiting for her. I'm so busy, where do I have the time to serve as a guide and introduce the various scenic spots in Longmen?

He couldn't help but glance at the rearview mirror of the car. The man in the back seat was sitting quietly in the back seat, lowering his eyes. He was wearing a gorgeous and even complicated outfit, and some silver hair fell on the dark leather seat. Under the quilt of the chair, one could vaguely hear his breathing, accompanied by the sound of fingers flipping through information pages.

"Superintendent Chen..."

After a long time, until the motorcade got off the elevated road and was walking through the streets heading to the mansion in Mid-Levels, Chen heard his voice suddenly ringing in the car.

Chen was stunned briefly.

"Here, what are your orders?"

"Tell me about Longmen. I want to hear what this city looks like to you, a person from Longmen. I often heard about Longmen's reputation during the Great Yan period. But when it comes to reality, I still feel that seeing is believing. good."

"Longmen..." Chen opened her mouth and held the steering wheel. She was about to praise the city, but suddenly thought of something: "Do you want to hear the history of this city, or just my opinion of Longmen? "

"what's the difference?"

"If it's the latter, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. I don't have any opinions on Longmen. I love this city that raised me, but my views on Longmen do not represent the views of everyone in Longmen, nor do they represent the opinions of outsiders. Longmen’s view.”

"Oh? Things are of the same kind, different but the same?" he asked.

"Perhaps... for different people, Longmen is different in everyone's eyes. It is precisely because of this that Longmen looks like what it is today. I only recently understood this truth."

"A very objective statement." He closed the document in his hand: "I thought that as a young senior official of the Longmen Guards Bureau, you would be very complimentary of Longmen."

"Maybe it's because I'm an outlier in Longmen officialdom."

Chen smiled and said calmly.

She said a little too much, and she didn't think there was anything wrong, because although she was unfamiliar with the His Highness behind her, she didn't have any ill feelings. Maybe it was because the other person looked similar to someone she thought, that's why Chen said So much.

"Actually, in the eyes of the imperial court, I am probably an anomaly." He suddenly said warmly. Chen did not answer, and heard him continue: "When I was seven years old, my mother-in-law died early, because she was not the legitimate son, and she I had no family members to use, so I had to suffer for a long time in the palace. The people in the palace were the most snobbish, and I had no one to rely on, so it would not benefit me. His Majesty saw that I was lonely and weak, so he taught me to learn literature and martial arts, and left. Ouchi, he even studied in Sisuitai until he was 13 years old."

He paused for a moment and looked at Chen in the driver's seat, his eyes briefly touching in the rearview mirror.

"Don't understand why I'm telling you this?"

Chen hesitated.

"Yes."

"Because I heard that you are Wei Gong's niece, but Wei Gong's niece claims to be an anomaly in Longmen officialdom. The world finds it strange, but I don't think so." Chen saw him and said, "I think we are destined."

"..."

Chen fell silent and suddenly heard the visiting King Dayan Wu from behind saying some puzzling words. He turned around and suddenly said "I am destined to you".

Do all people in Dayan like to make jokes like this that are not funny at all?

Chen Tuwu felt a little unhappy.

"Superintendent Chen..."

"exist."

"What do you think?"

I think you may be sick. Chen regrets his previous actions more and more. As expected, no one who has anything to do with him is a good person.

"How should I answer you?" Chen asked: "Your joke...well, to be honest, it may not be funny."

"Even if I am a guest of Longmen?"

"Even if you are a guest of Longmen, even if your status is more noble than I imagined."

"Haha, Superintendent Chen, has anyone ever said that you are too straightforward?"

"Those people generally like to call me a fool who overestimates his own abilities." Chen slightly raised the corner of his mouth: "Maybe sometimes they are not wrong. If you want to hear me compliment you, you should probably find someone more qualified than me. The right person to serve as... guide.”

"Aren't you afraid of offending me?"

"I'm trying my best to prevent this from happening." Chen replied, and she paused briefly: "... I hope it's not too late."

"Of course it's not too late. Meeting such an interesting person like you in Longmen makes my trip worthwhile. I'll help you with the rest of the guide work."

"You should try your best."

The motorcade finally came to a slow stop and parked outside the Eighth Mansion in the mid-level area. As the Longmen Mansion for receiving high-level foreign guests, the Guards Bureau had already fully taken over the security of the entire mansion and its surroundings.

Gao Yi, the captain of the personal guard whom Chen had seen, was already waiting at the door of the mansion. He opened the car door. King Wu handed the document in his hand to Gao Yi. He seemed to have thought of something, turned around and walked to the front of the car, looking at the driver's seat. Chen on.

"Superintendent Chen."

"exist."

"There will be a banquet tonight, and I'm looking forward to seeing you at the banquet."

"I may not be sure about this. Even if I show up, I can only appear at the banquet as a security guard. Maybe it will be different from what you said."

"I can personally explain this to Duke Wei."

"I won't bother you anymore. This is my job, and I don't have any interest in attending the banquet." Chen shook his head and refused. He always felt that this King Wu was a little strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange.

It wasn't until the convoy left that he finally withdrew his gaze.

"Your Highness, this is..."

Gao Yi, who was standing aside, looked puzzled at His Highness who watched the convoy go away and looked back.

"Nothing, a very interesting Longmen police officer." He stepped into the gate of the mansion, his voice returned to indifference: "Have people from all the large and small chambers of commerce in Longmen already been here?"

"All 48 chambers of commerce in Longmen are interested in contacting the army for supplies. The heads of [-] chambers of commerce are willing to sign orders at prices lower than the market price. However, they hope to come to visit you in person. The assassins have invested in the last general three days ago. At this point, does Your Highness want to receive you in person?"

"Where is the Shihuaiya family?" He asked suddenly, Gao Yi was a little puzzled.

"Also included in this list."

"Tell me, how much benefit did they give you?" King Wu turned back and looked at the tall man Jiang Qi with a stern expression.

"This..." Gao Yi looked embarrassed.

"Don't those big businessmen in Longmen give you any benefits?" He stretched out his hand and put it on Gao Yi's shoulder. Gao Yi seemed to be used to His Highness's behavior and lowered his hand.

"Are you so indifferent?"

"Not really, but the general will act according to orders, how dare he do anything irregular."

"You, you, how can it be possible to always be so old-fashioned? Look at it, if he had come here instead, I don't know how much benefit he would have gained. Do I still have to punish you for this? How much is your salary? I don't think of ways to get some. If you go back with the money, how can your family and more than a dozen people support you? When your brother's family moves to a new house next year, my aunt will start talking about you again."

His Highness is always like this, without any temper, which not only makes people like Gao Yi helpless but also makes him close. Since coming down from the Yumen battlefield more than half a year ago, His Highness has implemented military discipline, and only then did he and Cao Jianzhi be transferred from Yumen to King Wu's Guard. middle.

Sometimes he is a bit nagging, and sometimes he can catch the soldiers chatting for a long time. Among the many generals, he is probably the only one like him. Sometimes he really feels that His Highness should change, and some actually think that this is not bad.

Some generals think that His Highness is trying to win people's hearts. In fact, how many generals can really do this to win people's hearts?

The husband general is the claws and claws of the country and the backbone of the soldiers.

As a general, one should be knowledgeable about the astronomy above and the geography below, and be able to understand people and people; he should be persistent in his armor; he should be brave enough to take the lead; he should be brave enough to take the lead in the face of difficulties; he should obey the rewards and trust the punishments; he should destroy the enemy's troops, appease the enemy's people, and attack the enemy's hearts in order to attack upward. The city is the subordinate, we should return the merits to the people, return rewards as soldiers, not be ashamed of defeat, not be proud of victory, enforce the law ruthlessly, abide by the law first, manage the army well, lead the army well, boost morale and inspire people. We should recognize talents, use talented people, follow the right path, win the hearts of the people, marshal the hearts of the army, understand the great righteousness, and control the world.

……

Therefore, the three armies [-

Although sometimes I really doubt how His Highness could say such a thing and feel a little ashamed of him, I have to say that even in the Ministry of War and the military governors, this "Military Struggle" caused an uproar.

"Shan Chang, do you know why I asked you to come this time so that I can prepare the military?"

"Alas, the general knows, but after all, this is a private bribery, which is against military discipline. Your Highness treats me with great kindness. If it were not for Your Highness, the general would have been a ghost under the spring."

He lowered his hands and put them behind his back.

"You won't think so when you are scolded. You are a good person. Life is not only about military affairs, but also about family troubles. It is not just about food, rice, oil, salt, cars, horses, and money. My aunt did not follow you just for the sake of it. I will endure hardships and hardships with you."

"Then general..."

"It's too late now. I'm not a fool. How can I come here to give gifts now?" Gao Yi saw His Highness turn around and looked at him with a smile: "I don't want the free gift. How will you explain it when you go back?"

So how should I explain it?

He thought to himself, raised his head, and looked at the clear sky of Longmen.

----

"Old Chen, how is the situation? Is there anything wrong?"

"fine."

Chen left the motorcade midway and saw Xing Xiong and Shi Huaiya again at the banquet mansion. They needed to prepare in advance and eliminate any suspicious hazards to ensure the safety of the entire venue and surrounding areas during the banquet.

"Missy has been worried about you for a long time." Xing Xiong glanced at Shi Huaiya, who was standing aside with his hands folded and using radio communication to deploy on-site guards.
