Longmen Memoirs

“Has Chernobog’s entrance inspection always been so strict?”

"It wasn't like this before. I heard the adults at the checkpoint said." The team leader paused, looked around, and lowered his voice: "It seems that there was civil unrest in the city the day before yesterday. Some military police and garrison troops suffered heavy losses, so We are strictly checking people entering the city these days."

"Can you tell me in detail? What kind of attack was it? Who dares to attack official troops in such a large mobile city?"

The team leader shook his head, as if he was reluctant to talk about this topic.

"I don't know. There has been no trouble here before, but you have also seen that the Third Army has entered Chernobog..." The leader said: "Miss Fiona, if you are here to travel, I I still advise you to go somewhere else."

"It's okay, I'm just wandering around and won't cause any trouble."

The leader smiled, he nodded, and Chen said goodbye to him.

She got back into the car and took out the Ursus documents and passport that Su Li had prepared. While looking at each forged Colombian personnel pass document, Chen raised her head and looked at the outline of the huge moving city approaching in front of her.

In her mind, she was still thinking about the words of the previous team leader, the attack, what kind of people and organizations dared to attack the security forces of such a huge mobile city, and what kind of force could change the attitude at the checkpoint after doing this. It seems that he has not been caught yet.

The answer was getting closer and closer in Chen's mind.

She felt that maybe she was a step too late, but she couldn't feel at ease unless she entered Chernobog. Regardless of whether it was her or not, she had to personally enter the huge mobile city in front of her to find out the truth.

Chen knew that after the dispute between Yanguo and Ursus really started, it would be countless times more difficult for her to walk around the mobile city and territory of Ursus as easily as now. The further time went by, her situation would change. Have to be more passive.

"Passive? Wrong, we are not the ones who are passive, see."

The northwest border of the Yan Kingdom, the Baikal-Suihe junction of the Yanwu border, and the Dongning City where the three guards of King Yanwu were stationed.

The huge Wu Wangwei flagship Qishan docked at the northwest camp of Dongning City. With the echo of vehicles accompanying sergeant training and material transportation, Cao Jianzhi, the deputy general of Xuanjia Battalion and the commander of the personal guards, pushed open the main general's barracks in the center of the camp.

"Your Highness."

"Here we come, how are the inspections of each battalion going?"

Armor and weapons were hung on the side of the table and on the armor and sword racks. On the other side, a gorgeous dark satin python robe was spread out on the rails. As the commander-in-chief of an army, a man wearing regular uniforms was leaning on the table. The flames of the small stove were licking the Lick the bottom of the pot.

"There is nothing wrong with it yet."

Cao Jianzhi was a little helpless, and he folded his hands and bowed politely.

The man beckoned.

"Come on, come on, the new tea just sent by Magistrate Cao of Dongning is said to be a specialty from his hometown of Xicheng. It is sent as a tribute to the palace. A tree grows on the cliff and only a small jar is available for a year."

As Cao Jianzhi walked over, the man asked him to do it again, took out some tea leaves from the small ceramic tea can, and picked up the teapot on the small stove.

"Your Highness, I will do it myself."

Cao Jianzhi hurriedly stood up and took it, carefully filled the pot for the man, and then filled it for himself before putting the copper pot back on the small stove and sitting down next to the man.

"You know, I can't taste good or bad. You try."

The man said, Cao Jianzhi picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Good tea."

"Right." The man picked up the teacup: "Last time I went to Longmen, Ms. Chaoshan from Longshan told me about the tea-drinking habits of Longmen people, saying that 24 kinds of medicinal materials should be added. Do you know what I am thinking? "

"What do you think, Your Highness?"

"I thought, with so many medicines in it, is the tea still tea?"

The man put down the teacup and Cao Jianzhi smiled.

"I don't know much about this, but your boss is quite knowledgeable."

"It is expected that Magistrate Cao would not dare to deceive His Highness with counterfeit goods." Cao Jianzhi said, "Besides, I think the lady who went to Longshan probably did not expect that Your Highness would bring Xian Dengying with you."

"Tea is good tea, but it's not necessarily true for people." The man said softly: "I heard that there was a censor in the imperial court who consulted me on this matter?"

"It's true, but those censors in the imperial court know nothing about fighting. You also know that they bite everyone they see, and they are all good at asking for fame and profit. If they come to the border to guard the border for several years, they will not be able to keep anyone. People can say a few words.”

"Wu Wei and Guang Ning are staying over there. There hasn't been any movement yet."

"It depends on which direction Ursus chooses."

"The imperial court's intention is that no single soldier from Ursus will cross the border and invade our territory." Cao Jianzhi said in a low voice, but hesitated to speak.

"Are you wondering whether the lessons learned from the last Battle of Blood Peak made Ursus hesitate to move forward?"

"Will they?"

"I hope they will." The man said, looking at the face of the personal guard commander: "But the Usas people will not listen to my orders. The imperial court means that our army cannot take the first step, so now we, Wuwei and Guang Ning Cai will be guarding the three directions of the border, and everyone is waiting."

"Too passive."

"Passive? Wrong. It's not us who are passive, it's Ursus." He shook his head and said: "The Ursus people have been waiting for an arrow for a long time. They became strong because of the war, but in the end, they will also fall to militarism."

He reached out and patted the guard on the shoulder and stood up.

"By the way, you go and call the good leader. We will go into the city in the afternoon. Your boss has prepared a dinner tonight, so let's go and join in the fun."

"Here."

Chapter 41 A monument

[Ideals... dreams, visions, etc.

I've talked to a lot of people about this stuff before, and I've heard a lot of people tell me their thoughts on this stuff.

All kinds of characters.

Some of them are officers, some are workers, farmers, students, businessmen, mercenaries, officials, politicians, and prisoners.

Traffickers and pawns, high-ranking officials and gentry, three religions and nine streams, and lower-level people are all different.

Ha, I think I should know the meaning of this word better than you.

Over the years, I have seen and experienced more people and things than you can imagine. But some things happen in front of you. It's not that you can't do anything, but that you can't do it.

There are two roads in front of you, and neither road is easy to walk, so you have to choose, who to choose to live, who to choose to die, I thought it was easy... After all, the knife does not fall on you, and it is not you who hurts. It's not his own blood.

But I was wrong.

Some knives are invisible. They don't have to fall on people. They fall on people's hearts, which is more painful than bleeding. They will always...always be with you. Those invisible scars will eventually accumulate to countless numbers.

Burn yourself, light up the way forward, save suffering, ah, it is great, really great, but it is others who are warmed, and it is yourself who is hurt.

Who cares about you?

No one cares, not even you.

You feel like you have a clear conscience, but I can't, and I never can. ———With Tallulah at the end of 1095]

The sun is setting and night is approaching.

Dongning Prefecture is located on the Yanwu border in the northwest. It has jurisdiction over three counties, seven counties and eighteen towns, with a population of 210 million. It is one of the three major towns on the northwest gateway of Yan Kingdom.

It is adjacent to Ursus to the north, and to the west is Spring City, Blackwater, and Horezin. The three places are connected in a line, which together form the entire northwest border defense line of Great Yan against Ursus.

They were guarded by Wuwang Guard, Wuwei Guard and Guangning Guard respectively, and the rear defense line was guarded by Xuanwei, Heishui and Changwei in turns.

The most famous restaurant in Dongning Mansion is called Wangxian Pavilion. It is the property of Cui Boling, a wealthy businessman from Shu. The courtyard has a built-in view of the three mountains and five rivers. You can overlook it from a high position on the pavilion. It is called the three-stream combination of the terrace, and the moonlight remains in it. Bureau, has the meaning of approaching Guanghan, so it is famous as Wangxian Pavilion.

Standing on Wangxian Pavilion and overlooking the garden scenery, it is hard to imagine that you can see the exquisiteness of Shu and the style of Wuyue at the same time on the northwest border.

Wearing a luxurious fur coat, you can see Master Cao looking forward to the stars and the moon from a distance.

"Master Cao, you are fine."

"Your Highness, you are very polite. Your coming here will really bring glory to this official and Wangxian Pavilion." Cao Wenren held his hand with a smile on his face. His gaze fell on the two people behind him without mentioning it.

"If Magistrate Cao invites you, how can you not come? If our army wants to do well in Dongning, we don't dare to neglect you, Dongning's parents." He gently patted the palm of Magistrate Dongning.

"Whatever your highness said, please don't offend me. I invited your highness to come for a party today. Your highness has already given me enough face, Cao. I have heard that your highness never invites anyone to a party in the capital. "

"Oh, who is whispering behind my back again?" he asked with a smile.

"How can there be any disagreement? As for matters in the capital, it's just what everyone else says." Cao Wenren also said with a smile, spreading his hands apart: "These two are..."

"You're a lazy man in the army. I heard that Magistrate Cao is going to be the host, so he insists on following him. Speaking of which, one of them is your family member."

Cao Jianzhi and Gao Yi raised their hands.

"The last general, Xuanjia Camp, is in charge of the deputy capital. Cao Jianzhi has met Mr. Cao."

"The last general will be the first to take charge of the camp. He is a good man and has met Lord Cao."

Cao Wenren hurriedly raised his hand to return the salute.

"Meet the two generals."

He waved his hand.

"Okay, okay, don't be polite. Magistrate Cao should first introduce you to Dongning. Because of your host, I don't even dare to eat lunch."

"Alas, I was negligent. Dongning has prepared a banquet for the labor force and sent people to the camp." Cao Wen realized later and turned sideways and raised his hand: "Your Highness, please, two generals, please."

"Prefect Cao, please."

It was already late at night when we left Wangxian Pavilion.

Inside the car, the glorious and elegant loft in the rearview mirror has faded away.

He slowly took off his gloves and looked at the two guards sitting in the driver's seat and the co-pilot.

"Wine from Xicheng, tea from Guiwu, and crabs from Pingyang Lake at the foot of Hongdong Mountain. What do you think your thoughtful master is planning?" His voice sounded slowly in the carriage. sounded.

Cao Jianzhi was stunned for a moment, and he wanted to turn his head.

"No need to turn around, what do you have to say?"

"What aspect is your Highness asking about?"

"Our army is stationed near Dongning, so we will inevitably have to deal with the Dongning government." He raised his head and leaned on the soft chair. His peripheral vision fell out of the window. The dim lights of the street lights kept flashing as the vehicles passed by. , the light and darkness in the car are uncertain.

"I heard someone mention that this Magistrate Cao has some relationship with the imperial court."

"specific?"

"He is a disciple of the right minister of Hubu, and is related by marriage to the Cui family in Shu."

"Oh, that's what it means when you have money and people."

"It's not bad, but it's not enough for His Highness to have a close relationship with them." Cao Jianzhi shook his head: "Although our army is temporarily stationed in Dongning, the current situation is unclear. If the Usas people cross the border, our army may attack at any time. Set off."

"Let me tell you something." He turned his attention to the driver's seat again.

Gao Yi hesitated.

"The general's views are consistent with those of Commander Cao, but the general believes that the prefect of Dongning may not be willing to let our army station here. On the contrary, he should prefer that our army leave as soon as possible. If our army is stationed here for one day, Dongning The government must take care of the situation of our army, especially your identity, Your Highness."

He crossed his hands and looked away.

"He didn't want to offend me, but he couldn't bring it up directly, so he proposed today, hoping that both sides could take a step back and our army would not interfere in Dongning City's affairs. Is he afraid that I would take advantage of the chaos to control Dongning Mansion?"

The two did not answer.

He also did not ask further questions, as ordinary military attachés would not dare to mention Ouchi matters easily.

"Tonight, the nephew of the prefect of Dongning, Zhao Keding, will be entrusted to you. He is a good man."

"Here."

chernobog east

75 kilometers, night

The first day after the evacuation of Chernobog

In the hurried team, this is already the third battle between the integration movement and the army tracking from the direction of Ursus.

According to their original plan, the guerrillas, Vatov, and Pavel's team picked up the infected people who fled from the city, while Frost Star and Snow Monster served as bait and stayed at the second temporary connection point to block the pursuers.

The first encounter took place at around 10:12 last night. The support of the Shield Guards was successful and the Frost Star and Snow Monster teams were surrounded by Chernobog troops, but the situation was not favorable.

Chernobog's reaction was far more violent than the integration movement expected. Although the group of infected people was successfully transferred, it seemed that the Ursus people's purpose was no longer on the group of infected people from the beginning. The troops outside the city responsible for supporting their integrated movement are the main targets of the Ursus army.
