Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey

“Longmen will be fully responsible for all medical expenses of these infected people.

Longmen will also cover all expenses of other personnel in Rhodes Island."

Bai Xue said quickly.

Seeing that Longmen was so sincere and generous, Outcast expressed his understanding without further explanation.

An hour ago

Inside the Governor's Palace

Wei Yanwu took the list and repeatedly checked it.

"Are you sure you want Chen to go to that Rhodes Island?" Madam Wen Yue said, standing behind Wei Yanwu.

“You’ve also seen the intelligence that Shadow Guard just sent us. What happened last night wasn’t even done by our opponents.

Anyone can bribe the Imperial Guard Bureau, and considering what happened before, I think Longmen needs a thorough cleanup..."

Wei Yanwu's tone was unusually stern.

Wen Yue thought of the information she had just seen. The people who attacked Nian and Suixiang last night were from a family that had been keeping an eye on Nian. They hoped that Nian could help them create a magical weapon, but they had been holding a grudge against Nian since he rejected them.

Last night they were planning to use the assassins to lure and force Nian to take action in the city, and then spread the news so that the authorities could take control of the matter.

Then they could arrange their people in the officialdom to force the other party to accept the proposal to forge weapons.

And those people from the Guard Bureau were the spies who were bribed by them.

However, the other party didn't expect that Nian didn't take any action during the whole process. Not wanting to lose these assassins, the other party tried to let the insider take the people away first, but he didn't expect to be discovered by Suixiang and ended up losing everything there.

Originally, Wei Yanwu was a little hesitant about whether to add Chen to the list, but after learning this information, he made up his mind to send Chen out first, and then he could thoroughly clean up Longmen.

"So you think you sent Chen away because you were afraid she would be disgusted by your methods?" Wen Yue sighed.

"That's part of it, but also her personality is too impatient. Rhodes Island is a place with a lot of government personnel, and I hope that can smooth out her edges.

If she can connect with a few more external forces, she will be able to hold this position more firmly."

Wei Yanwu replied calmly.

"But have you ever thought about whether that kid Chen is willing to leave?"

"This is official business for the exchange mission, and she is one of the people with the closest ties to Rhodes Island. Arranging her to go was part of the plan."

Wei Yanwu also understood Chen's personality. If she went to other places, she might refuse, but if she went to Rhodes Island or the Integration Movement, she would not find a reason to refuse even if she was reluctant or didn't want to.

What's more, he deliberately added Xingxiong and Shi Huaiya to the team, leaving her with no excuse.

And this is indeed the case. When the list of the exchange group came to the Guards Bureau, Chen subconsciously wanted to refuse.

But after reading the list, she fell silent.

In her understanding, Wei Yanwu asked her to be the leader of this exchange group, which was obviously to add burden to her and increase her political capital.

And there are several candidates she cares about.

This list clearly told her that she had booked the trip to Rhodes Island.

Chapter 451: Enthusiastic Citizen Lin Gerui

Although Chen felt a little unhappy about Lao Wei's clear arrangements for him, he still agreed.

After all, he is still my uncle, and he has done me a lot of favors before.

If I were to give a cold shoulder to someone who was arranging something now, it would be extremely inconsiderate.

Besides, no matter how unhappy she is, she is not a rebellious ghost-fire girl. If it is her normal job, she will do it clearly.

As for Xingxiong, he was surprised when he saw the news, but then he realized that he was benefiting from Chen and Suixiang.

Otherwise, this kind of "official travel" would basically not be enjoyed by people like me in the serious crime squad.

Shi Huaiya was speechless and asked, "If you want to go, just go. Why take yourself with you?"

Does Dad want to set up an office for the Shi Huaiya family in Rhodes Island?

Or want to see for yourself if Rhode Island is worth the investment?

Otherwise, there is no need to write your name in this team no matter how you think about it.

After all, this job doesn't look fun at all. It's better to stay at home and play with cats with those ambitious brothers and sisters.

However, for things like this, once the list is released, it is basically set in stone.

Except for Chen Huijie who has the ability to turn his back on the job, the others cannot escape unless something serious happens to their family or themselves.

"I know that girl An Suo. I applied just to make up the numbers, but I didn't expect she would actually be selected.

And that little brother... I just hope Uncle Dong doesn't scold me for kidnapping his apprentice."

Xingxiong looked at the list above and pointed at two of them and said.

Chen nodded. "I've heard Madam Wenyue mention Xuezhi before. And Gu Ningning, I remember she's from Chunqian. Ah Xiao is from the fire department, I've seen him on TV. And there's the Li Detective Agency. Leave these to me."

"Then the rest are mine." Shi Huaiya picked up the list and took a look. Although she didn't recognize most of the people on it, the addresses of the people were attached at the end. Anyway, she was patrolling outside at work, so it wouldn't be a problem to notify these people by the way.

After returning home and telling Suika about this, Suika said that she happened to be at the Rhodes Island base when Longmen submitted the list, so she knew about it a long time ago.

"Since you know, it's easy to explain. The Governor meant that although it's an exchange group, we still represent Longmen and Dayan, so we can't be too casual.

So tomorrow we'll have a short training session for everyone. Basically, Governor Wei will come and give everyone a few words, basically telling them not to embarrass themselves in front of Dayan.

When Xingxiong said this, his eyes were fixed on Nian. After all, Suika was not on the list. She was an operator of Rhodes Island, so she could naturally follow the Rhodes Island team back directly.

"Ah~ Can I not go?

Meetings sound so boring, I might as well just eat hotpot at home..."

Nian complained with a look of disgust.

"How about this, you go there once, and when you come back I'll make you boiled pork slices." Cuixiang used the temptation of delicious food.

...

"Can you cook this dish?" Nian was shocked.

"Hey, you didn't expect that!"

Suika gave a wink.

"That's fine, but I have to give two.

Let me tell you in advance, if it doesn’t taste good, I’ll get mad!”

Nian threatened with a grin.

"Just wait and see!" Suixiang patted her chest.

"Can you really do it?" Xingxiong asked in disbelief when Nian went to wash up.

"I really can, but you don't eat spicy food, so I have no place to use my skills in cooking Sichuan cuisine."

Cuixiang waved her hands, indicating that it was not that she couldn't cook, but mainly because the only dishes she could cook were Shang Shu's Jianghu dishes.

These dishes are mainly heavy in oil and spicy. Nian will like them very much, but Xingxiong and his friends who have always eaten light food may not be able to tolerate them.

After listening to Suika's explanation, Xingxiong didn't say anything, and Nian came out of the bathroom.

"You know a lot of Shangshu dishes?"

"Tai'an carp, cold pot cloud beast, spicy feather beast meat... I can cook most of them." After saying this, Suixiang couldn't help but salivate.

"No, tell me you're hungry." Nian touched her belly to indicate that she could eat now.

"Da-me~ You guys go to the meeting tomorrow, I'll go get the ingredients. After all, we don't have the ingredients if you want to eat it right now."

Suika made an X with her hands in front of her chest and said.

Nian retreated into the bathroom dejectedly to continue washing up. Xingxiong touched his nose, thinking of the pain of going to the bathroom every day after eating hot pot in the past few days. He then said that Suixiang and Nian could eat by themselves tomorrow and there was no need to wait for her.

The next morning, Suixiang walked to the vegetable market not far from the old street.

After entering, the variety of dishes almost dazzled her eyes.

However, although there are many varieties of dishes here, the seasonings are a bit confusing for her.

There is basically no chili pepper in the food in Longmen, so looking around, not to mention the Erjingtiao that Cuixiang needs, even ordinary green peppers are nowhere to be seen.

She walked around the market for several times, and just when she was about to give up, she heard an old male voice behind her.

"Have you encountered any trouble here, my friend?"

Suixiang turned around and found that the Rat King was holding a basket filled with a lot of fresh vegetables.

"I'm very grateful for your help before.

I see you seem to have run into some trouble, why not tell me about it.

I'm very familiar with this market, so I might be able to help you."

The Rat King saw that Suika was staring at the vegetable basket, and thinking of what she said when they first met him, he forced a smile and said.

"Um, Your Excellency the Rat King, please stop laughing. It's even scarier when you laugh... But I do have a problem that I need to consult with you, senior."

Then Suixiang told the other party the chili peppers and peppercorns she needed.

"Hiss, are you planning to make Shang Shu cuisine?" After hearing what Cuixiang said, the Rat King looked at her in surprise.

"That's right, I know a few Sichuan dishes, and the guests at my house today happen to like them, so I thought I'd make a few." Cuixiang smiled proudly.

“No wonder, no wonder…

But it's not easy to find so many peppers in Longmen...

There is no such thing in this vegetable market. You have to turn left after going out and walk about 70 or 80 meters forward. There is a tavern specializing in Shangshu cuisine. I have a good relationship with the owner.

Go and tell me my name and share some of it."

The Rat King stroked his beard and then showed Suika where she could find the materials she wanted.

"Thank you, Rat King." When Suixiang heard that there was a place to buy chili peppers, she excitedly went to the slaughterhouse, picked up the various meats from land, sea and air that she had selected in advance, and walked out.

"Shang Shu, I almost forgot what that place looks like..." The Rat King sighed as he watched Suixiang leave.

Ever since he agreed to come to Longmen to help Wei Yanwu control the power of the underworld, he has basically never traveled far.

The scenery of other cities in Dayan has almost disappeared from his memory as time goes by.

Chapter 452: Happy times are never short

Suika quickly found the store that the Rat King mentioned.

After chatting with the owner of the store for a few minutes, I stated my purpose.

The boss was very surprised after hearing this. After all, Suika looked like she was only in her teens, and her childish voice made her look even younger.

Although Shang Shu Jianghu cuisine is not a dish that requires time to prepare, it is not something that anyone can make.

Finally, Cuixiang used the ingredients in the kitchen to make a spicy feather beast meat dish on the spot, conquered the boss, and then bought three pounds of chili peppers and half a pound of dried chili peppers from him.

Even though this sounds like a lot of chili peppers, the dish won’t last more than two meals.

After returning home, I looked at the ingredients, went out to get a pot of oil, then cut and prepared the vegetables, then went back to the living room, turned on the TV and watched the news.

Longmen News upholds the consistent tradition of Dayan, first talking about domestic politics for ten minutes, then reporting on recent disasters and talking about people's livelihood issues, and finally reporting on international events, mainly about where fighting broke out and where riots occurred.

Cuixiang was overjoyed to see this.

After watching it, I turned to the children's channel and it happened to be broadcasting Suika's favorite new animation from Colombia, "Filin and Zarak".

After a while, her cell phone rang, and when she answered the call, she heard Nian's voice.

The other party on the phone complained that Governor Wei spoke for two hours with just a few simple sentences.

Her butt was almost hurt from sitting so hard.

"If it weren't for the delicious food at noon, I would have quit long ago.

So, you have to compensate me well."

Changing the subject, Nian brought up lunch again.

"Okay, that's about it. You can come back as usual and then we can have dinner."

After calculating the time, Suika stood up and walked into the kitchen.

Twenty minutes later, the door was arrogantly pushed open
