In response, Chen Huijie skillfully walked around behind her and gently tapped W's left shoulder. Then he quickly walked around to the right and sat down. He picked up a pancake with a smile and said to the Sarkaz girl in front of him:
"Come on, Auxiliary Police Officer W, let me hear what you found out."
"You're already an adult, yet you're still playing such childish tricks."
W slapped Chen Huijie in anger, then stared at him and whispered:
"Nothing, just a simple reminder. Do you know the identities of those two Sarkaz you just picked up?"
While performing patrol duties, W and Warfarin happened to see Quesasina and Liz. W didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but Warfarin keenly noticed something. The blood demon quickly deduced the possible origins of the two Sarkaz from her rich experience and memory.
W was no stranger to the name Absolver. She had once encountered Sarkaz mercenaries working for the Absolver. To be honest, W felt that those people had a strange evil nature, as if someone had taken their brains away. Whether they spoke or looked at others, it made people feel as if a cold wind was blowing on their necks.
Therefore, W thought about it and felt that it would be a good idea to remind Chen Huijie. It was not that W did not trust his buddy's ability, but mainly because this buddy usually had too many things to think about and deal with. If there was any mistake, W would definitely not laugh at him.
At most, I can use this to poke him next time we meet.
After seeing Chen Huijie nodded, W continued to talk a little bit about the Pardoner, then slammed the table and said that if Chen Huijie wanted to have sex with the Pardoner in the future, W could consider giving him a preferential price and then come to help him support the business.
The topic of the Absolver ended here, and W talked about another thing:
"Old Chen, tell me honestly, is there something wrong with your blood?"
Chen Huijie raised his eyebrows when he heard this, looked at W and said softly:
"Did you see that from Warfarin?"
"Well, you vomited blood without leaving any trace, and you attracted the attention of the Blood Demon Aunt. Even a fool should know that there is something wrong with your blood."
As W spoke, he carefully looked around to prevent anyone from eavesdropping on their conversation:
"Let me tell you, even though I had already left that unfortunate place when that blood demon lady came to Rhodes Island, I've still heard of her reputation. If she couldn't resist the urge to suck your blood, then the other blood demons would probably behave even worse."
At this point, W glanced at Chen Huijie, smiled, stretched out his hand and said:
"Come on, Mr. Chen, let me hear what exactly it is about you that attracts the Blood Demon's attention. If you're honest enough, I might charge you a little money and help you find a solution."
"My problem isn't that easy to solve. After all, I still don't understand why this is happening."
Chen Huijie spouted a bunch of meaningless nonsense, attempting to fool W. This seemingly haphazard strategy was actually the most effective method he had discovered against W after numerous attempts in the previous worldline. As a surviving Sarkaz mercenary, W was naturally intelligent and a giant in action, but once faced with such obscure and illogical speech, she inevitably fell into a moment of confusion.
In the previous worldline, whenever this happened, Vishdel would always seem impatient, as she simply couldn't comprehend what Chen Huijie was saying. It was this incomprehension that, in turn, triggered the straightforward nature that Vishdel and W shared. She wouldn't waste time pondering the deeper meaning behind such nonsense, instead choosing to simply address the issue.
Therefore, in W's state, her thinking was that since Chen Huijie was so uncooperative, she didn't need to be polite anymore. For example, she could directly say, "Since this person is uncooperative, why don't we just kill him and be done with it?" Although this attitude and behavior may seem simple and crude, in W's eyes, it is the most direct and effective way to solve the problem.
Now W is also like this. She scratched her head, suppressed the thought of *Sarkaz swearing*, and said with a headache:
"Simply put, you don't need my help."
"To be precise, I will need your help in the future."
Chen Huijie smiled and took out his wallet, took out a bank card, handed it to W and said softly:
"Consider this money as my advance payment for your employment. When I need you in the future, we might not have time to negotiate the price."
"......"
Looking at the bank card in front of her, W did not reach out to take it immediately. She really came here with the idea of making some money. After all, she heard from Officer Dong that the detention cells and prison beds in the Guard Bureau are quite tight now, and a meritorious temporary auxiliary police officer like her will be released today to make room.
The Guards Bureau will naturally not return W's confiscated equipment, so W needs some start-up capital to rearm himself.
only....
"Why do I feel like if I take this money, you'll definitely take it in the future."
W rubbed his forehead, looked at Chen Huijie with a subtle expression and said:
"I'm overthinking it, right?"
"I'm sorry you didn't think about it."
Chen Huijie smiled and waved his bank card and said:
"I prepared this card the day after you went to jail, but don't worry. I just hope that if my plans conflict with yours when we meet again in the future, I hope this money will encourage you to sit down and discuss things calmly with me."
"...Old Chen, you should be thankful."
W didn't hesitate for too long before grabbing the bank card, indicating that she had agreed to the deal. However, while playing with the bank card, the Sarkaz girl revealed her fierce side. She looked at Chen Huijie with a teasing look and whispered:
"If you weren't such a good fighter, I would definitely pin you to the ground and ask you everything that's going on in your head!"
"Why do your words sound so strange? Forget it, I won't embarrass you, an illiterate little boy."
Chen Huijie took over the conversation with a smile. He didn't hate this kind of "complaint". If it were him in his Ranger days, he would probably laugh out loud and say that W praised him well.
However, at this moment, W suddenly pulled out a menu, pointed at the words on it and said:
“Soy sauce pork rice rolls, yogurt vermicelli rice rolls…”
"Wait a minute, what nonsense did you just say about food?"
Chen Huijie pulled the menu over and found that W had not read it wrong. This made him not know what to complain about first. How come W's cultural level had improved in just a few days?
Could it be because of that book? Yes, I had thought that book was just an ordinary item and just casually gave it to her. Now that I think about it, that prop was called the "Magic Bedtime Story Book" and the note said "Even illiterate people can understand it." There must be some magical uses in it that I haven't discovered yet.
At this time, W laughed happily. She did not deny that she was illiterate. The words she knew were limited to the Sarkaz language and some common Terran words. She was very unfamiliar with Dayan's words.
But, with that book, I can know how to pronounce the word and what it means at a glance. With this comparison, if I can't learn these words, it would be a big problem. I may be illiterate, but I'm not a fool.
However, before W could laugh out loud, she keenly noticed that Chen Huijie looked at her with a strange look, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. W was stunned at first, then her little brain quickly turned, and she realized something. She hugged her chest vigilantly, staring at Chen Huijie as if protecting food, and said dissatisfiedly:
"You promised me that you would give me that book."
"I know, but there seems to be something wrong with that book. Please give it to me and I'll think about it. I'll give it to you after I'm sure it's correct."
Chen Huijie has been very busy these days. He deals with W every day, but he didn't notice this. He was blind to the truth. He also knew that W was a stingy person. It would be very difficult to get anything from her. When he wanted to get his jade pendant back from Vishdale, it really took a lot of effort.
"There's nothing wrong with this book. I've been reading it for several days and there's nothing wrong with it. If there were, I would have been in trouble a long time ago!"
W had no intention of giving in. She treasured this book so much. Although the story was not finished, it was the first book she could understand. How could she give away such a commemorative thing so easily? Moreover, it was something she had successfully found.
but....
W thought about it and felt that this book might indeed have a different value to Chen Huijie. After all, even she could realize that this book was an invaluable treasure.
So, for the sake of brotherhood, W reluctantly suggested:
"Well, I'll lend you the book first, and you can return it to me when I'm about to leave Longmen. But you have to agree to one condition: in the future, you have to do whatever I say!"
"this...."
"This condition, first, must not violate chivalrous ethics, second, it must not harm your personal reputation, Old Chen, and the reputation of Dayan, and third, it must not interfere with your work. How's that? That's generous enough, isn't it?"
"No, where did you learn these words?"
"You said that yourself."
Looking at the confused Chen Huijie, W took the book out of his arms, flipped to page 13, pointed to the fourteenth line and said:
"Look, you said it yourself, and I remember it clearly here."
"Okay, I agree. I'll take the book first."
Looking at the book that disappeared in the blink of an eye, W blinked blankly. Then, she reacted and angrily stepped on Chen Huijie's shoes twice. Regardless of whether she hit him or not, she turned around and walked back to the confinement area.
Chen Huijie smiled and then set off towards the Governor's Mansion. He had to inform Governor Wei about what happened this morning.
And when Chen Huijie arrived at the Governor's Mansion...
"The Dragon Hammer bestowed upon you by the late Emperor, Duke Wei, I am about to offend you!"
237 Wei Lao Er: PTSD has offended my brother
? ? ? ? ?
Chen Huijie never expected that he would hear such an exciting noise when he arrived here. Chen Huijie had come into contact with the imperial gift in the previous world line. Old Qin and Old Wang had mentioned this thing to him and let him play with it. They said that if Duke Wei made a mistake in the future and wanted to do something wrong, they would use this to stop him.
At that time, Chen Huijie also asked, if his uncle was really that stubborn, would Old Qin and Old Wang really use those imperial gifts to beat his uncle?
Old Qin and Old Wang looked at each other, smiled and shook their heads. These imperial gifts were just to warn their uncle, making him think again before taking any action, whether his idea this time was too inconsiderate. If their uncle still insisted on going ahead with it despite these imperial gifts, then they, as his brothers, would naturally follow Duke Wei through fire and water, no matter what.
This was also something that Chen Huijie had never figured out in the previous world line, because when he rushed back to Longmen, facing the only remaining seniors in black robes, he really couldn't understand what had happened that made Old Qin and Old Wang not even take out the imperial gifts when his uncle decided to go north to Ursus, but just followed his uncle to Ursus directly.
Chen Huijie also questioned this point to the Black-Coat Shadow Guards who had managed to survive, but they gave all kinds of reasons, some true and some false, which made Chen Huijie completely confused about what the truth was. Moreover, Chen Huijie did not dare to continue asking, because he had been with these Black-Coat Shadow Guards since he was a child, so he could naturally sense that if he forced them to ask the truth, they would probably die to prove their concealment, all for the young master, Duke Wei, and Dayan.
What else can I do? I can only put this matter aside for now and wait until my uncle wakes up.
Then Chen Huijie came to another world.
Although the world was different, Chen Huijie believed that the Black Cape Shadow Guard's loyalty and friendship to Governor Wei would not change. Besides, hadn't Governor Wei been quite busy recently? Why would he suddenly ask for the imperial gift...
Could it be that there are already signs of heading north to Ursus?
Chen Huijie suddenly realized it, and his eyes suddenly became sharp. He immediately went to the study and saw Qin Lao holding the golden hammer with a dragon carving on it, sneering at Governor Wei and saying with gritted teeth:
"Duke Wei, it's the fault of this old man and the old king. We shouldn't have been so lenient with you back then, allowing you to develop such a lazy temper. But it's not too late now. Duke Wei is still very young, and in front of me, he's still a child. So, Duke Wei, I apologize!"
"Wait! Mr. Qin, I'm really sleepy..."
Seeing Qin Lao raising his hammer and charging at him, Wei Yanwu quickly dodged around the desk and said helplessly:
"If you round it up, I pulled an all-nighter yesterday. I had barely lain down for six hours when Wenyue woke me up to work. Look, it's already this late. Normally, I would have taken a nap long ago. Can't I take a short nap now?"
"Duke Wei, you've practiced martial arts since childhood, so your foundation is solid. Even if you really didn't sleep for a whole day and night, you shouldn't feel tired. This is just your bad habits at work!"
Old Qin looked at Wei Yanwu and felt more and more guilty. At lunch today, an old brother mentioned to him that Miss Chen was so diligent, and it must have been taught by Lord Wei over there, who probably set an example for her.
With this topic, everyone began to discuss what Duke Wei would be like if he could be as diligent as Concubine Chen. Then, as they discussed for a while, no one could continue. Because if Duke Wei was so diligent, the late emperor would not have been so worried when he abdicated. Moreover, a diligent Duke Wei would probably be a good emperor.
Thinking of this, and thinking about how Wei Yanwu, at such a young age, was about to start his retirement life in the Longmen Governor's Mansion, everyone felt a little uncomfortable. After all, before this, they all thought that Duke Wei was just like that, so why force him so much? But now...
The dinner party of the Black Raincoat Shadow Guards ended in silence. As usual, Old Qin came to the study and accompanied Wei Yanwu to handle official business. Then he listened to Wei Yanwu's intentional or unintentional hints while he was working, asking him to help him talk to Wen Yue and let her not be so strict with him.
In the past, Old Qin was happy to listen to such complaints and confessions. After all, Old Qin's age was there. He could be said to be the oldest in the Governor's Office and even in the Imperial Guards. Among the Black Raincoat Shadow Guards, he was one of the very few Imperial Guards who retired normally. Therefore, the young lord's complaints about life made him feel like he was getting younger. Of course, the most important thing was that this could highlight the lord's trust in him.
But now, Old Qin sounded a little uncomfortable. He began to reflect on whether his relaxed and casual attitude towards life had led Duke Wei in the wrong direction. In order to avoid letting Wei Yanwu realize that his mood was wrong, Old Qin found an excuse and went out to calm down.
At this moment, Old Qin heard the conversation between Wen Yue and the Syracuse mother. It seemed that Madam Wen Yue went to chat with the mother of the little nine-tailed fox to discuss their future settlement in Longmen. At this time, they talked about Miss Chen. Madam Wen Yue seemed to want to invite Miss Chen to her home for lunch and wanted to ask the mother of the little nine-tailed fox if she knew what Miss Chen tasted like.
The mother of the little nine-tailed fox knew nothing about this, but she said that Master Chen probably didn't have time to come, because she had contacted Master Chen by mobile phone not long ago and asked him when he would come to coordinate the follow-up matters between mother and daughter. Master Chen replied that he was busy with other important matters. If he couldn't see her this afternoon, then he would wait until tomorrow and stay in the Governor's Mansion temporarily. There was no need to think too much about it.
This made Madam Wen Yue very regretful, and she could only turn around and go do other things. After hearing this, Old Qin stood outside for a long time. No one knew what the old man in black was thinking, but in the end, he seemed to have made up his mind and turned around to take out one of the imperial gifts. If Duke Wei really had other future possibilities, then as a former personal guard, he would naturally advise his lord!
Therefore, this is how the chaos Chen Huijie saw when he arrived at the Governor's Mansion came about.
Chen Huijie listened outside the window and understood what was going on. He sighed helplessly, then went into the study and said with a smile:
"Hahaha, I didn't expect that Governor Wei and Senior Qin would actually exercise and relax like this in their free time. The effect seems to be quite good. It seems that I can try it in the future, hahaha..."
When Wei Yanwu saw Chen Huijie, he hid behind him immediately as if he had seen a savior. There was no other way, the table could no longer be circled. With Old Qin's temper, if he circled it a few more times, he would probably overturn the table.
Although hiding like this is a bit embarrassing, but, right, you see, Huijie is my nephew from another world, rounding it off, we can be considered family. Is it embarrassing for a nephew to protect his uncle? This is a normal family reaction, okay?
This is the truth, but Wei Yanwu still said in a tone that was about to break:
"Hui Jie, you've come just in time. Take a look at how I'm handling my official business. Have I caught up with you?"
"Hey~~~ It should be me, the younger generation, who should reflect on whether I'm keeping up with your plan, Governor Wei. Governor Wei is truly too modest."
While Chen Huijie was stirring up the trouble, he casually took the gift from Qin Lao, shook it, and casually put it aside. Then he looked at Wei Yanwu and said:
"Governor Wei, I've noticed something strange and am unsure what to do, so I've come to ask for your advice."
"Ahem, tell me in detail."
Hearing that Chen Huijie was here to ask questions, Wei Yanwu and Qin Heisuo immediately became serious and began to listen to what was going on.
First of all, there is the poisoning incident of the Deep Sea Church. Although the poisoning incident has been resolved, it is still very difficult to eradicate this kind of foreign sect that is highly secretive, so we need the cooperation of Governor Wei.
Wei Yanwu naturally agreed and said that he would let the Rat King be responsible for this matter.
Secondly, there is the issue of cooperation with Kjerag. Although the contract has not been officially signed, there will basically be no problems. Although Mr. Adams has agreed to cooperate, the matter of Lungmen should still be decided by the Governor's Office. After all, this is related to the future development prospects of Lungmen's business model.
In response to this, Wei Yanwu and Old Qin looked at each other, and Old Qin took on the job. The Black Raincoat Shadow Guards would follow the instructions of the Governor's Office and work together with Mr. Adams to handle this matter.
Then, regarding the sudden activity of Ursus spies, most of them should have been eliminated. Although spies of that level are considered cannon fodder and it is not difficult for Ursus to replenish them, there should be much less "noise" among the people of Longmen during this period.
Wei Yanwu had mixed feelings about this matter. He had fought with Duke Koschei of Ursus three times and only won once. That time, with the help of the Longmen gang led by Lin Gerui and Victoria businessman Adams and others, Wei Yanwu and Edward successfully expelled Koschei from Longmen.
The two subsequent failures made Wei Yanwu extremely vigilant against Ursus, and he put in a lot of effort in counter-espionage. Therefore, even though there are many powerful forces in Longmen City now, the proportion of Ursus is still very low.
