Gao Wen glanced at the King of Advancement calmly. Although he didn't know why, he felt that Mr. Chen seemed to have a certain liking for Vina. It was he who first proposed the idea of protecting Vina. Otherwise, Wei Yanwu would definitely kick Vina out of the dragon gate.
"Is that person really that powerful?"
On the other side, the King of Advancement couldn't help but widen his eyes. She really didn't expect that this person could get such an evaluation from the teacher. He was simply the king's assistant in the knight novel.
"Marry him quickly and you can tie him up to death."
Well!
The sudden intuitive idea made the King of Advance blush, and he quickly reached out to press down the suddenly popped-up aho-go. Then, he discussed with Gawain how to live in Lungmen temporarily.
At this moment, as the sun rose, Xingxiong appeared in the Guard Bureau. She looked at the police officer beside her and nodded silently. Then the police officer rang the alarm bell decisively.
This major operation really arrested too many people. Fortunately, this point was fully considered when the Guard Bureau was built, and many confinement areas and prison areas were built. Otherwise, the prisoners would have to be diverted, and that diversion would probably lead to many unexpected situations.
At the same time, the prison, which should have been peaceful, began to become busy. The prison guards who heard the bell began to call out to the prisoners. According to past experience, waking up a person in the middle of his sleep would be the most annoying thing for a person.
The reason for waking up these prisoners was not for anything else but to carry out a "daily routine" activity in the prison - taking them out for fresh air.
Anyone who frequently visits prisons knows the term "fangfeng" (literally "releasing rumors") is all too familiar. It doesn't literally mean "letting out information" or "revealing news," but rather a unique prison system whereby prisoners are allowed to walk out of their cramped cells into the more spacious courtyards for exercise and exercise.
Soon, with the creaking of the prison door, the prisoners walked out of their cells one after another. It was obvious that they were indeed very dissatisfied with the morning exercise, and there were varying degrees of annoyance on their faces.
Soon, however, the mortals, having adapted to the situation, began to move about individually, some bowing their heads in contemplation, others looking up at the sky, enjoying this rare moment of freedom. Prisoners gathered in groups of two or three, some strolling leisurely, others performing simple calisthenics to loosen up their imprisoned, stiffened muscles. A subtle atmosphere permeated the air.
During these periods of exercise, inmates often interacted more frequently, but this interaction often carried risks. Some disgruntled or ill-intentioned inmates would exploit this opportunity to stir up trouble, sow discord, or even orchestrate small-scale conflicts or disturbances. In short, exercise provided an outlet for their discontent and conflicts.
This is exactly the purpose of this exercise. Once any prisoners cause trouble, the prison guards will intervene quickly, either by giving stern warnings or by taking necessary compulsory measures to ensure that the order of the prison is not disrupted.
Those troublemakers whose actions are serious and whose impact is bad will be sent to more stringent isolation areas for reflection and may even face further legal sanctions.
This approach maintains the stability of the prison...which is secondary. The most crucial thing is that it can reduce the workload of colleagues in the personnel review department to a certain extent. As I said before, there are too many people imprisoned during this period. Even if the colleagues work very hard, they are really too busy to handle it.
In addition, every time a prisoner causes trouble and is dealt with, it is equivalent to setting a negative example in front of all the prisoners. The prisoners will understand that any attempt to disrupt prison order will be severely punished. This deterrent effect will inevitably make the overall atmosphere of the prison more harmonious and stable in the current situation.
As a result, prison guards can free up more time and energy to focus on those prisoners who really need to be dealt with, thereby improving the operating efficiency and reform quality of the entire prison system.
As for what would happen if these prisoners discussed something so big that even the Imperial Guards couldn't handle it...
"Don't be afraid, just go for it. If anything goes wrong, even if the sky falls, I'll hold it back."
These were Mr. Chen's exact words. Although they sounded a bit like bragging, such remarks undoubtedly made everyone in the Guards Bureau feel extremely relieved.
At this moment, the King of Advancement had also arrived at the large playground for exercise. She looked around and quickly found her friends who had come with her. They gathered together cautiously. After seeing that the prison guards did not seem to want to interfere with their group behavior, the King of Advancement decisively took her friends to a corner and quietly watched the situation on the playground.
It was obvious that the people arrested in this operation seemed to be caught in groups. After a brief period of chaos, the large playground quickly divided into groups of people... No, there were a few exceptions.
The King of Advance looked to his left. A girl with white hair and red eyes sat nonchalantly on a swing in the playground, swinging on it as if nothing had happened to her. Ah! The swing is broken. This place must be so poorly maintained. The rope actually broke. It's unbelievable, huh? That girl was so strong that she actually twisted the broken chain together. She's not someone to be trifled with.
The King of Advance watched the white-haired, red-eyed girl forcibly twist the iron chain, then quietly walked to a shelf nearby, put her face in the hole in the middle of the shelf, and began to bask in the morning sun. But for some reason, the King of Advance felt that she seemed to be aggrieved.
The person who was separated on the other side was a... uh... white-haired Syracuse person. How come she was so dark? It was as if she had been struck by lightning continuously. But you know what, the dress she was wearing was quite amazing. There was no damage at all. I don't know what material it was made of or what kind of craftsmanship it was made of. I'll go and get some when I have time.
The white-haired Syracusan was being isolated by other Syracusans at this time. Although some people wanted to try to communicate with him, it was obvious that they were not on the same page, so the white-haired Syracusan maintained the status quo.
Moving the camera further, I saw a woman dressed as a researcher. She was pulling the prison guard and talking about something. Listening carefully, it seemed to be about Rhine Life or something.
"Let me ask you something. After I'm released, the weapons you confiscated will be returned to me, right?"
On the other side, there was a tall, red-haired Kuranta woman who was pulling the prison guard to ask about something. Judging from her attire, she didn't look like someone from Longmen. Could she have come here from other countries to do business?
As the King of Advance was observing the situation, she heard something and turned to look. Behind the playground's railing gate, a pale-faced man in fine clothes, who looked as if he had been weighed down by something heavy, walked slowly past. He seemed to be saying...
"I want to see Mr. Chen, otherwise I will stay here forever!"
287: Arrange a blind date for Sister Shu?
Chen Huijie had no intention of detaining Ji here for a long time. For the time being, it was better for such an existence as Sui Pian to stay away from Longmen. Longmen was now beginning to become a hodgepodge, and Chen Huijie really didn't want to deal with Dayansi Suitai anymore.
Therefore, the restriction that Chen Huijie left on Ji only lasted until four or five in the morning of the next day. After the restriction was lifted, Chen Huijie didn't care how or when Ji planned to leave. Governor Wei seemed to have discussed the matter with him anyway, so the whereabouts of Ji didn't matter for the time being.
Governor Wei also thought so, so he left behind a black-clothed shadow guard. Fortunately, when Ji wanted to leave, someone gave him a green channel.
only....
Seeing Ji sitting in the hallway, as if he wasn't going to leave until he agreed, Ren Heisuo's blood pressure shot up. "Ms. Chen has been so busy these past five days. Do you know how much she's been dealing with? It's early in the morning, and I think she's probably resting, and you're asking her to come see you? Humph, if you disturb her, I don't care if you're old or not, I'm going to slap you!"
"If you think that sitting here will solve the problem, then please feel free to sit here."
Ren Heisun glanced at Ji and continued walking forward without saying anything. Seeing Ren Heisun's reaction, Ji, as a traveling merchant, naturally understood that this trick was no longer effective. He quickly stood up and followed behind Ren Heisun and said:
"Everything can be discussed. I'm not asking for an immediate meeting with Mr. Chen. As long as I can meet with him, I'm willing to invest some resources in Longmen. Didn't Governor Wei also want to reach a deal with me yesterday? I can offer even more favorable terms..."
"Then before you leave, write a more favorable contract and sign it before you leave."
At this moment, a familiar voice was suddenly heard. Ren Heisuo and Ji raised their heads at the same time and saw the young man with a sword standing at the end of the corridor.
"Mr. Chen, why are you here? Who the hell brought this news to you, disturbing your rest?"
Ren Heisun hurried over and asked with concern. Then, after a moment of contemplation, he said in a tone of regret:
"Did Duke Wei ask you to handle it? Duke Wei is really too lazy. He clearly just made a trip, but he actually sent someone to bring a message to you..."
It's time for Old Qin and Old Wang to use the imperial gifts to tighten Duke Wei's lazy muscles!
"Don't wrongly accuse Governor Wei. I just happened to come here to take a look."
Chen Huijie patted Ren Heisuo's shoulder and explained to Wei Yanwu with a smile. He knew about the imperial gifts in the Governor's Mansion. Moreover, in the previous world line, the number of the imperial gifts seemed like a secret to Chen Huijie.
Although I don't know what my uncle has done wrong, the imperial gifts that Old Qin and Old Wang take out are always different. From what my aunt said, it seems that they were brought by old friends of Old Qin and Old Wang in Baizao. I also heard that the imperial gifts on Uncle Yan's side are more than those on Longmen's side.
This is really terrible.
Fortunately, I, Chen Huijie, am considered an outsider and have nothing to do with the throne. Otherwise, I would have to study abroad all year round. When I think about so many imperial gifts waiting for me in the future, Chen Huijie feels that he can't even enjoy his meals.
As for why Chen Huijie appeared here, it was not really for the sake of strolling around. He felt the return of the golden dragon of luck, thought for a while, and decided to come over to see what Ji was doing. His power to weave the real and the fake was still too magical for ordinary people, so it was only right for him to come over and put some pressure on him.
As for Sofia, everything that needed to be explained had already been explained. They had tickets for the noon train, so he would just go and see them off when the time came.
"Let's go, Mr. Ji."
Chen Huijie greeted Ji with a smile and gave Ren Heisun a look at the same time. Ren Heisun immediately understood and stepped aside to keep an eye on the prisoners who were out for exercise.
Ji followed Chen Huijie quietly and came to a snack stand with him. After hearing Chen Huijie order two bowls of noodle soup, his eyes suddenly changed slightly. He looked at the boy in front of him carefully, and then said softly:
“I think this is the best noodle soup stall in Longmen.”
“Not the best.”
The best one hasn't opened yet at this time.
Chen Huijie smiled and said casually:
"But it's not bad. When Mr. Ji has some free time in the future and comes to Longmen again, if I'm still there, I can invite you to try the cooking of that restaurant."
"Mr. Chen, I know you're very pressed for time, so I won't waste any more time talking to you."
Ji looked at Chen Huijie and said in a serious tone:
"You should know that after we die, all traces of our existence disappear, just like my sister who has now returned to [years old]..."
"Jie, her name is Jie."
Chen Huijie naturally picked up Ji's words, took a sip of tea and said:
"She once gave each of the twelve people a true name. Sixty years ago, she died in some unforeseen event and returned to her true form. As for what the event was, I haven't had time to investigate. As for her ability, every word she wrote would become a prophecy."
"...How did you do that?"
Ji didn't think Chen Huijie was lying to him, and even though he had seen it once in his dream, he still found it incredible. It was obvious that even they, who were also young, couldn't do such a thing.
"How should I put it? Maybe it's because I've seen so many things, so my consciousness is more stable than that of ordinary people."
Regarding this question about Ji, in the previous world line, Nian, Xi, Ling and Mr. Zhongyue had all pondered it. In the end, it was Ling's sister who gave the most likely answer, which was that Chen Huijie's soul seemed too tough, as it was difficult for Ling's sister to pull Chen Huijie into the dream when he was on guard.
In this regard, Chen Huijie could only say that there were benefits to fighting with dead souls every day in the Soul Furnace. However, faced with this answer, even Ling felt that it was a bit too difficult to reproduce the film.
"Mr. Chen, do you know my sister Shu?"
Although he didn't understand what Chen Huijie was saying, Ji didn't care about it. He only cared about the result, so he continued to ask Chen Huijie:
"My sister is currently guarding the Great Wasteland City, which is quite dangerous. I've seen that Mr. Chen is quite capable, so I wonder if there's any way he can help my sister."
"..."
In response to this, Chen Huijie just smiled and looked at Ji without saying anything, which made Ji frown slightly. He continued:
"It just so happens that I have to transport a batch of goods back to Dahuang City. Why don't you, Mr. Chen, come with me to see the scenery of Dahuang City? I will naturally have someone take good care of Mr. Chen along the way."
"The scenery of Dahuang City is unique. I will certainly go there in the future. As for what Mr. Ji asked, I can't say for sure. After all, even your second brother Wang can't be sure about that kind of thing."
Chen Huijie continued to sip his tea with a smile, and on Ji's side, he immediately understood what Chen Huijie meant. Second brother... Indeed, his second brother was too cunning. Even if he was helping him now, some of his thoughts would be difficult to hide. Mr. Chen obviously did not want to have any relationship with his second brother, so there were some things he did not want to tell him too clearly, for fear that he would be trapped.
Then will the second brother tell me what he is saying?
Ji thought about it, then nodded decisively in his heart.
I guarantee it will, the second brother does care about his younger brothers and sisters, but unlike the eldest brother, the second brother likes to get to the bottom of things.
"In that case, after I finish writing the contract, I will be ready to leave for Dahuang City. If Mr. Chen is free in the future and wants to go to Dahuang City, please let me know. I can be your tour guide then. Goodbye."
Ji noticed Chen Huijie's style of doing things, so he also left without any delay. At present, it seems that what happened in the dream seems to be reality. If this person can remember the [Year-Old Card], then he must go to see Sister Shu. Sister Shu has always been friendly to others. As long as Mr. Chen and Sister Shu get along for some time, I think he will help Sister Shu even without asking.
Then, it's time to go back.
The contract issue is easy to deal with. As a businessman with thousands of years of experience, Ji can naturally complete it with ease. After finishing this matter, he has to go back to see his second brother. His second brother will definitely ask why he has delayed for so long. If he says that it is simply because of the weaving of destiny, even if he can hide it for now, he will be with his second brother for a long time during this period, and he will inevitably be found out. Therefore, he has to use his brain a little.
As for why I didn’t tell this to my second brother and let him think about it with Mr. Chen?
Well... although it's not quite right to say this, Second Brother has a bit of an arrogant streak. If I tell him, he'll definitely use his methods to test that Mr. Chen, and Second Brother's methods aren't very friendly. I've heard from Governor Wei and the Black Raincoat Shadow Guards that Mr. Chen's health isn't great. If Second Brother gets sick from all this, it'll delay him from seeing Sister Shu...
Thinking of this, Ji's heart suddenly became firm.
There is nothing more to say, second brother. I will hide it from you this time. If you think this is considered backstabbing, then I will backstab you. For Sister Shu, even if it is your eldest brother, I will backstab you!
"Brother Ji, why did you just come back?"
Outside the Dragon Gate, 'Ji' watched Ji coming back, waved his hand, removed the disguise, and revealed his true form - looking out.
"This should just be a simple test. We can't start planning our nation's destiny right now."
"I know, second brother. The results of this test went quite smoothly. My power can be used to implement this plan."
Ji answered calmly:
"As for why I came back so late, it's because I met a rather interesting trader."
Interesting trader?
Wang couldn't help but raise his eyes and quickly looked at the members of Longmen who were worthy of attention.
When Jidi mentioned "interesting", it should be Wei Yanwu, right?
Rat King Lin Gerui is also not bad
The Beastmaster Emperor is also an interesting person
What? Chen Huijie?!
After listening to Ji's next words, Wang suddenly looked at his younger brother and said in surprise:
"Wei Yanwu's niece..."
"If he takes over Wei Yanwu's position as governor in the future, it should be much easier for my caravan to contact Longmen. We might even make a lot of money through mutual benefit."
Ji continued talking before Wang finished. Wang paused for a moment, then smiled with relief. As a businessman, his younger brother would naturally be more sensitive to such things. Since he was not a businessman, it would be difficult for him to understand his feelings. But it didn't matter, as long as his younger brother was happy.
Thinking of this, Wang patted Ji's shoulder and said with a smile:
"When we're done with the old man's problem, I'll help you run your fleet. By then, you and I will make a fortune..."
"Hey, Brother Ji, you're finally back."
At this moment, Nian's helpless voice came from the side. Ji looked at Nian in surprise, then at Wang. Wang quickly explained the situation in a low voice. Then, Ji smiled and said:
"Sister Nian, it's really hard for you to stay here."
"That's good to know, so."
Nian put one hand on his waist and twirled a folding fan with the other and said:
"Can I go now?"
