"The map displayed today clearly indicates that the person with great fortune has not submitted to the one at Longmen. I'm afraid that person with great fortune has become independent and has no place to return to. Therefore, I hope Your Majesty will send someone to find that person with great fortune. If they can be brought into the court, then from now on, our Great Yan should be able to rest assured in terms of fortune."
"I... understand, my dear Lord Wang. I have seen your hard work over the years. I hope you will not slack off. I will never forget you. Go back. Don't talk about what happened today anymore."
"I accept your order. I will take my leave."
After hearing the emperor's words, a look of joy appeared on the face of the official of the Imperial Observatory, and then he immediately and honestly left. After watching the official leave, the emperor silently stroked the jade pendant around his waist.
This jade pendant is not an ordinary ornament, but a protective measure carefully made by the Tianshi Mansion. It can detect any attack or erosion, whether it is physical or soul level, and it is also equipped with some small gadgets to calm the mind, so when the emperor is thinking about something, he will sometimes rub this thing gently.
But this matter was obviously not something he could make a decision on by himself. He still had too little information at hand, so he could only wait for other news to come back.
On the other side, Chen Huijie looked at Chi Xiao in his hand and was in a headache for a moment. According to the art of looking at qi, when two groups of qi are intertwined together, the side with stronger luck will naturally wrap up the weaker side and decide whether to swallow it according to the wishes of the side with stronger luck.
If they do not devour each other, then at the time of separation, the weaker side will receive some gifts from the side with stronger luck. To the side with stronger luck, that gift is almost unimportant, it will just be given to them, but the weaker side will get a significant improvement from it.
Therefore, looking at Chi Xiao who was entangled with the golden dragon's luck, Chen Huijie felt a little troubled. Before, in order to ensure that he would not die suddenly due to the conflict of luck, he used the formation set up at the Dragon Gate to link himself with the Dragon Gate, so as to increase his chances of escaping safely.
Of course, when necessary, Chen Huijie has other means to safely extract himself and Longmen from this battle of luck. However, according to the art of qi-watching, he might shorten his lifespan a little. Fortunately, he did not have the opportunity to use this method.
Moreover, the luck counter-killing war that had just been launched ended quite smoothly. The mastermind behind the Ursus incident must have been killed. This was really wonderful.
But all this still leaves a little problem, that is this Chixiao. As far as the above performance is concerned, if I have successfully shared the luck from Longmen, and the shared luck has successfully blessed my Chixiao, the Chixiao's enhancement level will be +1.
But if that's the case, then the troubles that follow will be huge. After all, Longmen is a part of Dayan. I borrowed Longmen's luck and took a little bit from it, even if it's very little. Dayan's Imperial Observatory is no joke. Judging from Dayan's official attitude, I'm afraid someone will come to cause trouble for me next.
However, there is another possibility, that is, his own luck may be much stronger than he expected. Just when he used the luck method, Chen Huijie also vaguely realized that this time the luck counterattack was too strong. Even if all of Longmen's own luck was drawn over, it might not be enough.
Therefore, if one's own luck is strong enough, this consecration will have nothing to do with Dayan. This is undoubtedly the best result. Chen Huijie really doesn't want to deal with Dayan officials. That kind of thing is too annoying to deal with.
Okay, anyway, it’s time to call it a day.
Chen Huijie yawned, turned around and disappeared in the outskirts of Longmen, returning to the Edge City Defense Zone where he was before. There he took care of the remaining work, and after leaving enough procedures and instructions for the next person to connect with him, he withdrew from it.
Just at this moment, Chen Huijie thought of something, took out his mobile phone, and clicked on Xingxiong's personal exclusive page. Sure enough, I remembered the time correctly. Then, Chen Huijie headed towards the Longmen slums.
On the other side, Xingxiong was indeed in trouble. She received news from an informant and came to the city on the edge of the slums for support, but things developed much worse than Xingxiong and the informant had expected. When the desperado shot the first sharp crossbow arrow, the informant Axiang took a heavy breath and widened his eyes in disbelief.
"I didn't know that!"
Ah Xiang hid in a corner, whispering in shock, "How dare they do this in the city? They're breaking the rules!"
“Wealth and honor are sought through risk, and this is not uncommon.”
Xingxiong leaned against the iron barrel, seemingly relaxed, but her hand never left her shield. As she listened to the sound of crossbows firing outside, her expression grew serious. This powerful crossbow was very troublesome. Even for her, facing such a large number of sieges, it would be difficult...
At this moment, the noise outside subsided. Xingxiong glanced outside. It was pitch black at the end, and he could see nothing. It was early morning after all, and there was no moon yet. The streetlights had also been destroyed by the enemies, completely hiding the cold light of the powerful crossbows in the darkness.
As for the Guards, no one knew what had happened in the city defense, and a lot of people were withdrawn from the Guards. As a result, after he sent out a request for help, the support from the Guards was still on the way. But here, a group of desperate criminals who broke the rules had surrounded them, and the attack could come at any time. The situation was extremely bad, but Xingxiong could only wait quietly for the opportunity to break through.
Since he was free now, Xingxiong took a look at the informant Axiang beside him. He was originally a street youth not uncommon in the downtown area. He had been hanging around the streets and alleys for a few years. He was a small-time character who could not be ranked. But when he went out, he claimed to be a man who had mixed up in the underworld. Now he was an informant of the Guard Bureau. He looked much more stable than before, which made Xingxiong feel relieved.
Suddenly, the informant A Xiang spoke up.
"Sister Ghost, are you scared?"
He asked and continued talking.
"It's because of you, Ghost Sister, that I agreed to work for the Imperial Guard this time. Before, they said they were going to scare the boss who stole their business with a knife, and they'd give him a red envelope after the job was done. Ghost Sister, do you remember that?"
Xingxiong stared at the alley entrance without nodding. She remembered the young people she met a few years ago. They were the abandoned garbage on this street, regarded as scum who could not adapt to society. They lived in a confused state and could lose their lives inexplicably at any time.
So when Wei Yanwu invited her to join the Imperial Guard Bureau, Xingxiong thought about it for a night and nodded in agreement. She believed that Longmen would change.
"If you hadn't stopped me, I would have gone with that group of people."
Xingxiong heard the trembling voice of the informant behind her.
"Later I heard that they had actually caused a fatality and several people were implicated."
"Another time, those gangsters from outside came to cause trouble for us, and it was you, Sister Gui, who stopped them in the end..."
"So what exactly are you trying to say?"
Xingxiong sighed and interrupted the informant Axiang's mumbling. He was obviously making a decision, but that decision seemed too difficult for him, causing him to speak as if he were writing a memoir.
But the current situation is obviously not the time for Axiang to do this.
“…If I weren’t here.”
After being interrupted by Xingxiong, the informant Ah Xiang fell silent for a moment, lowering his voice, his teeth clattering, and his voice sounding a little distorted:
"I believe it won't be difficult for you to break out, Sister Gui. I've insured myself. My family will be able to live well even without me. I won't be at a disadvantage. So Sister Gui, please leave me alone..."
"Buzz!"
In the tense atmosphere, a sudden and sharp sound broke the silence of the night. It was the sign of a powerful crossbow firing. The enemy hidden in the dark was like a cheetah that had been dormant for a long time. Xingxiong, the battle-hardened police officer, although extremely vigilant, accidentally exposed his flaws at this moment, giving his opponent the possibility of a fatal blow.
The enemy did not hesitate to seize this fleeting opportunity. Their goal was clear and cruel - to kill the key informant, cut off the clues of the Guard Bureau in tracking their crimes, and make all the investigation work go to waste. The sound of the crossbow firing, like the whisper of death, foreshadowed a sudden crisis.
However, that seemingly inadvertent flaw was actually a trap carefully laid by Xingxiong. When the crossbow fired like thunder, it not only shattered the silence of the night, but also sounded like a resounding drumbeat, sounding the prelude to the action.
All this happened in a split second, as if time had been compressed to the extreme. The sound of trash being trampled, the clatter of piled iron barrels being struck, the sound of crossbows piercing the air...
But amidst all this noise, there is a sound, clear and long, like the sound of a spring, or the roar of a dragon or a tiger.
It was the sound of a sword!
Xingxiong looked down silently. As she had expected, the unblocked crossbow arrow hit her chest. In exchange, her shield swept across all enemies, and she stood in front of the person she was supposed to protect without giving an inch.
But now, a hand caught the deadly crossbow arrow for him, and the crimson light rushed into the darkness like a dragon. After a burst of crescent-shaped sword light, the crimson sword flew back to Chen Huijie's side, circling and putting it back into the scabbard.
"Your request is a bit difficult for Xing Sir."
Chen Huijie, who had rushed over, gently placed the crossbow bolt on the trash can nearby. This crossbow bolt was important evidence for the subsequent conviction and could not be easily damaged. In the stunned eyes of Xingxiong and Axiang, Chen Huijie smiled and said jokingly:
"How about finding something Star Sir would be more willing to agree to? For example, applying for the bonus for this operation on your behalf?"
"Well, indeed, I should apply for the bonus."
Xingxiong cleared his throat and agreed with this statement, then looked at Chen Huijie in front of him who used the talisman method to rub out several balls of light and threw them on the eaves, illuminating the area again. Xingxiong was also able to see the desperate criminals who had been knocked down.
Surprisingly, Xingxiong could not see any sword wounds on their bodies, and even their weapons were still intact. It was just that their pants... seemed to have traces of moisture.
"Come to think of it, you didn't suffer any other injuries, did you?"
While Chen Huijie was securing evidence at the scene, he casually asked Xingxiong, who quickly came over to help and whispered:
"No, Mr. Chen, you came just in time. There's no chance I'd get hurt. Oh, I feel like I've been bothering you so much these past few days. How about we go have a drink after this is over? It's my treat."
"Forget it. I'm not feeling well right now. I can't win a drinking contest with anyone, so I'm not going to drink. Besides, what's there to thank me for..."
"Then I'll lend you Prajna for a bit?"
"Huh?! Really?!"
PY: "Survival on a Deserted Island Starts with Picking Up Beautiful Girls"
Xu Yi originally thought that he would be like Robinson Crusoe, living alone for decades on the deserted island, relying on his left and right hands to survive.
but……
Strange girls began to appear on the beach every now and then.
Diary ①: Today is Shenhe.
Diary ②: Today is Miss 2B.
Diary ③: Today I was by the campfire with the fire keeper.
Diary ④: My back hurts, I plan to take a day off.
Diary ⑤: Fireflies attacked me last night, and I will remember this grudge.
Diary ⑥: I sneaked out under the pretext of planting potatoes. Haha, I can finally have a good rest.
Diary 7: After a week, I’m definitely done…
I won’t say more about Chapter 135, my brother died first.
Note: October 20th, 4:11 AM. The gangs are so rampant, they should have been dealt with long ago. (The trip has been cancelled)
This note was related to the attack on Xingxiong. At the time, he was serving as a lieutenant in the Imperial Guards. After taking on that job, he'd given up his drinking habits. Before that, hey, ask around on Rhodes Island to find out who can drink more than Young Master Chen of Da Yan. Anyone know who won the first Rhodes Island Drinking Competition? It was Young Master Chen, and even Elite Operator Logos had to settle for second place.
Of course, by the end of that drinking contest, it was no longer a competition of drinking capacity. One person used witchcraft to turn the wine into water, and the other used his innate energy to force the wine out of his body. In the end, Logos simply couldn't drink any more.
Chen Huijie was quite fortunate about this, because if Logos had admitted defeat a little later, Kal'tsit would have come over and the drinking contest would have ended in a draw.
After becoming a police inspector, Chen Huijie would drink a little, but basically the wine would be evaporated by Chen Huijie's true energy before it even entered his stomach, so his mind would not be affected by the alcohol in the slightest.
Therefore, at the Guards Bureau gathering, Xingxiong was completely unable to drink more than herself. But Xingxiong, although she had suppressed the bloodthirsty and warlike nature of the ghost clan, was suppressed by herself in terms of alcohol tolerance, which seemed to make her quite dissatisfied. Every time, as long as she made sure not to delay the important work, she would always compete with herself in drinking to the end.
In this regard, Chen Huijie was not sure whether he used his true energy to force the wine to drink, so he could only continue to fight with Xingxiong helplessly, and then throw her back to his home.
It was during a drinking contest when they were sending her back to her home that Xingxiong muttered about being hot and casually tore open her Guards jacket. She was wearing it loosely, so Chen Huijie saw the long suture scar on her chest. The scar was in a bad location and could be life-threatening.
However, Xingxiong was already drunk at that time, and it was obviously inappropriate to wake her up to sober up and talk to him about the scar. In addition, there were documents waiting for him in the office, so Chen Huijie threw this restless girl onto the bed and left the apartment.
Afterwards, Chen Huijie, with his authority, also investigated the origin of Xingxiong's chest scar and left this note.
What this note represents is also within the scope of Chen Huijie's plan. If there was no battle of luck, Chen Huijie should have taken a deep sleep for a while before coming out to deal with this matter.
But it's okay, at least the result is good for now. What Chen Huijie didn't expect was that after the matter was settled, Xingxiong suddenly said this, which made Chen Huijie subconsciously take over the conversation.
Then, Chen Huijie reacted and looked at Xingxiong, smiled helplessly and said softly:
"Is this what you dreamed about?"
Of course, Chen Huijie didn't think that his relationship with Xingxiong was good enough to make such a joke. In the previous world line, he and Xingxiong had become sworn brothers, but he still couldn't blackmail Prajna into playing tricks on him, let alone now. Therefore, there was only one answer.
"Don't misunderstand me. I don't know which part of your dream you were having, but those were all jokes. How could I really ask you to give me Prajna to play with?"
After securing the evidence, Chen Huijie clapped his hands and casually said while inspecting the scene:
"So, Xing Sir, don't take it too seriously. I know that Prajna is more than just a shield to you."
Well, yes, so you took advantage of me being drunk and secretly took Prajna to play with the helicopter.
Xingxiong couldn't help but mutter this in his heart, but at the same time, Xingxiong was a little silent. Just now, the surprise shown by this young Mr. Chen was real, just like when Old Chen heard that he had helped her grab the limited goods. But compared with Old Chen, the contrast shown by this young gentleman was really unexpected.
"Speaking of which, Mr. Chen, regarding that dream, what exactly is going on? You should give me some explanation on this point."
Xingxiong lowered her voice and asked the question in her mind. This kind of thing was still a bit weird, especially the gods and ghosts in the East Country were even more weird than those in Dayan. Xingxiong, who had been influenced by the culture there since childhood, really found it a bit scary.
"Regarding that matter, I still don't understand what exactly happened. Once I figure it out, I will give you an answer immediately, Xing Sir."
In fact, Chen Huijie has always wanted to figure out what the prop [Dream Recall] is, but many props extracted from the system cannot be taken out. There is only one button for use, and Chen Huijie does not understand how the system defines and distinguishes them.
Because of the 'Age Memory Battlefield', Chen Huijie is still looking forward to finding some inspiration from the item 'Dream Memory'. If he can delve into it and even master the power of 'Dream Memory', he might be able to create battlefields that he wants to reproduce, allowing him to choose as he pleases, and maybe even break through the daily refresh limit.
In that way, I can use this [Dream Memory] to unlock possible mysterious achievements, and at the same time transform it into new assistance for myself. Just thinking about this kind of thing makes me feel great.
"Okay, things here are almost done, and it's time for me to leave."
At this time, Chen Huijie looked at Xingxiong and said softly:
"Remember, after these prisoners are detained, there's no need to rush into interrogation. Just follow the procedures step by step. It doesn't matter what secrets they carry. What's important is that they stay alive. Got it?"
"Mr. Chen, what are you doing again... Hey? This guy... runs really fast."
Xingxiong wanted to ask Chen Huijie what he was busy with, but the man left in the blink of an eye. His elusive lightness skills made the informants nearby wonder if they had encountered a ghost. As for Chen Huijie, he was floating halfway and accidentally caught a glimpse of something. He stopped and looked towards the dark room.
Chen Huijie still remembered this house. When he first started to deal with the slums, the gangsters there would do anything they could to harm or kill the young police inspector.
Chen Huijie also moved out of the Governor's Mansion with disdain, and asked the surviving Black Raincoat Shadow Guard to take good care of his uncle and aunt. He lived alone outside, in a house bordering the slums. In the beginning, people came to visit here every night, and Chen Huijie also responded to them one by one without any courtesy, and used Chi Xiao to witness the despicable means of all parties.
But soon, there were fewer assassins coming to visit.
On the one hand, Chen Huijie killed quite a few people. During that period, the street was filled with corpses frozen by talismans. After Chen Huijie finished his work with the Guard Bureau, if he had some free time, he would take two corpses, check which gang sent them, and then carry the corpses to settle the accounts. After that, that gang would basically be destroyed.
So, after Chen Huijie repeated this several times, the bodies of the ice sculptures were "redeemed" by the gangs, and they honestly cooperated with the actions of the Guard Bureau.
On the other hand, the local gangs in Longmen all hired outsiders to carry out assassinations, but Chen Huijie also had a good network of contacts. Although the friends he made were not convenient to spare time to help, they also helped him to hold back the assassins or mercenary organizations in their respective territories.
Just like in Syracuse, it should be those people from Texas who took action, and the desperate criminals in Dayan should be those guys that the old man used his power to help him suppress.
Moreover, although Chen Huijie did not exchange any letters with the old gentleman, Chen Huijie understood the old gentleman's idea. He simply regarded the Longmen Change as a final exam to test how well he had learned what he had learned in the past.
How should I put it? This was a brutal final exam. So, I don't want to go into politics...
