Dragon Gate Swordsman

"Uh...it's nothing! Don't worry about it!"

In fact, what Chongxiao wanted to say was that in his expectation, this should be Xingxiong's reaction, but unexpectedly it appeared on Ajiu without any incongruity.

"That's great, Sister Nine. I still have to go to the administration department. I'll leave Chongxiao to you."

Jiaju is much more perceptive than he looks. After he finished speaking, he didn't even wait for the two to react and just slipped away.

As everyone knows...

What do you mean hand him over to me?

What do you mean by handing me over to her?

The double death stare made Jiaju involuntarily quicken his pace, and he secretly wondered if he was not wearing enough today.

"Can you let me go now, Xiaojiu?"

"Don't call me that!"

"What's the matter? Could this remind you of the stupid goblin from the Mist Lake?"

Jiu had no idea what he was talking about, but he still let go of his hands after glaring at him.

After not seeing each other for a year, Jiu's temperament has become much more stable, and she seems to have grown up. Compared to the girlish style when she was first selected into the special inspection team, she has completely evolved into a mature lady.

However, the slippery and slender tail that Chongxiao "can't let go" is still the same, so awesome!

"What are you looking at!?"

"Watch your tail."

"you……"

Ah Jiu was almost laughing out of anger. From the time they met to the time they became familiar with each other, the most obvious change in Chongxiao was his "hobby" for physical features such as ears, horns and tails.

Could it be because he has none of them?

After clearing his throat, Ajiu crossed his arms over his chest, raised his head and looked directly into Chongxiao's eyes, his expression becoming extremely serious.

"Why don't you explain first? About you working in the mines for most of the past six months for no reason."

In order to keep it secret, only Wei Yanwu knew Chongxiao's real whereabouts, and the leave he asked for from Xie Ming was only for two months.

Therefore, Ah Jiu said that being a miner for half a year was not bad... Who told him not to extend his leave when he sent a letter last time...

However, someone's attention at the moment was not on this at all, but was staring at Ajiu's chest which was highlighted by the movement of his hands.

Oh my god, it seems I can’t call her Xiaojiu anymore, she’s obviously not that young anymore!

"Tsk! What are you doing!?"

After waiting for no answer for a long time, Jiu couldn't help but stretched out his hand, wanting to use the same trick again, but he froze in place because of a cough coming from the side.

She turned her head mechanically, just in time to see Kanelian standing there, laughing and shaking his head.

"It's hard to resist the affection between the two of you who have not seen each other for a long time, but please be more careful about the occasion."

My goodness, I have lived in Longmen for a long time, and my use of idioms and vocabulary has reached perfection.

"Long time no see, Miss Ka."

"Me too, Chongxiao... What a pity that you came back at this juncture..."

"……What's wrong?"

Chongxiao then noticed that Kanelian was not wearing a police uniform, but the travel clothes she often wore when traveling.

Oh no... Could it be that Sister Ka has had enough of being a police officer and wants to quit and leave?

"What are you thinking about! The end of the year is our tribe's grand sacrifice held every three years. You shouldn't have forgotten, right?"

Judging from the awkward way someone rubbed his hands, he really had forgotten.

But from another perspective, Chongxiao came back at the right time. If she had come back a day or two later, Kanelian would have left on the Xiangkong airship, and he would not have seen her for more than two months.

"Then see you next year, Chongxiao."

Kanelian took the initiative to shake his hand and then walked into the elevator.

The office of the Special Inspection Team has changed a lot. After all, when Chongxiao left, they had just moved into the new headquarters building. Many arrangements were made on a temporary basis and were only slowly adjusted over the next few months.

Today, the special inspection team is even more powerful and occupies five floors of the building. The lounge, entertainment room, physical training room, archives, etc. are all independent, and with the strong support of Wei Yanwu, they basically use the best equipment that can be found in Longmen.

The members' offices are no longer just one large room. All those above the senior inspector level are assigned separate rooms, while others are grouped together in groups of two or three. The average space per person has become extremely spacious.

In the more than one year since Chongxiao left, his image and status in Longmen has been almost completely replaced by Celinina Texas. The main reason was a dangerous goods smuggling case that was uncovered half a year ago and the subsequent terrorist bombing. The position of senior superintendent basically means he is the right-hand man of Director Xie Ming and the second or third in command of the entire Guard Bureau.

As for Xingxiong, due to her increasingly lax work attitude and constant malicious complaints, she may not even be able to keep her newly acquired position as a superintendent, and she is not as good as Haoyun who has secured the position... However, her characteristic of being very reliable when it comes to critical matters still makes the members of the special inspection team regard her as the most reliable leader.

As for Ajiu, Jiaju and Kanelian, they are the captains of the three current teams of the Special Inspection Group and are the main force in handling serious criminal cases.

Texas and Xingxiong were not here. They went to the Governor's Mansion with Director Xie Ming.

"What about Haoyun?"

"He is probably enjoying his favorite 'daughter time'."

Although Ah Jiu was harsh in words, he was very efficient in helping Chong Xiao get things and tidying up the single office left for him. He was just like... a diligent and virtuous young wife. It was really the most suitable person for Ling to be his assistant (Chong Xiao's lies)

This room is right next to Texas' office. Everything inside is new, and it is fully equipped with various office equipment. Chongxiao couldn't help but recall the "glorious years" when he worked in Wei Yanwu's mansion.

At that time, the newly established special inspection team had only about ten people in total, squeezed into two small offices, and it was difficult to even get water.

"Oh! This sword...where is your original rebellion?"

Chongxiao turned around and saw Jiu holding Frostmourne in amazement.

Judging from the appearance alone, neither Rebellion nor Frostmourne look like weapons for decent people, but the latter is so exaggerated that even Jiu couldn't help but advise: "I still think it's better to use it less."

"What is there to worry about? Can't I control what I created?"

He laughed, seemingly not taking it to heart at all, but still reached out and took Frostmourne from Jiu.

In fact, this sword is indeed evil. The first time it was used in actual combat, it was suspected to have absorbed the soul of the black-robed Sarkaz man... Therefore, Chongxiao does not intend to let anyone other than himself use it.

After working for half an hour to tidy up the office, Chongxiao saw that Xie Ming, Texas and others had not returned yet, so he decided to go to the dormitory upstairs to take a nap.

This journey was originally just a mentally taxing one, but due to a series of accidents caused by Leia, the last part became a walk, and he had to carry or hug the weak Sarkaz girl from time to time, which made him very tired.

However, Ajiu suddenly grabbed him.

"What are you doing up there?"

"sleep."

"The upstairs is no longer a dormitory. It has been converted into a gym and shooting training range."

Chongxiao's face darkened instantly.

Where the hell am I supposed to sleep?

Fortunately, the exquisite Ah Jiu instantly understood what he was thinking...

"The first batch of housing provided by the Guard Bureau is ready for occupancy. Commander Texas has already moved in. It's on the seventh floor of Building 1 over there. I remember it's across from you. Why are you still thinking about the dormitory?"

Speaking of this, Chongxiao suddenly remembered that Wei Yanwu had mentioned before he left that the police officers who had made outstanding contributions to the Guard Bureau would be rewarded with a house in the residential area next to the headquarters.

Now I own a house!

"What do you think?"

Jiu smiled and wanted to hit him on the head, but found that he was not tall enough.

At times like this, she couldn't help but envy Xingxiong... Of course, there was also the cup size, and the length of the legs, and... Ahem! That's all!

But the "considerate" Chongxiao noticed this detail. In a good mood, he decided to go all out and directly opened his arms to hug Ajiu and lifted her into the air.

"What are you doing? Let me down!"

At this moment, Jiu was not only shy and nervous, but also quite angry.

It would have been fine if this guy was just hugging me, but a dishonest big hand was sliding down my back, obviously wanting to touch my butt or stroke my tail. This was outrageous!

But Chongxiao just asked mysteriously:

"Answer me a question first, Xiaojiu, do you also live in that building?"

Chapter 118 Penguin Logistics' Sexy Benefits

On the way out of the Governor's Mansion, Xie Ming, Texas and Xing Xiong all looked unhappy.

It wasn't because he was reprimanded... Wei Yanwu had resigned as the highest officer of the Imperial Guard Bureau for two years, and even his remaining influence was almost gone. The Governor's Office and the Imperial Guard Bureau under his charge were not strictly subordinate to each other.

After all, to see how strong the determination and courage of Ying Zhen, the 37th True Dragon Emperor, is, one has to look at the various epic projects that Dayan is currently undertaking. As a royal relative who is feared, Wei Yanwu will never allow himself to become a local emperor.

The reason why the three behaved in this way was a piece of news that Wei Yanwu had just revealed.

Kazdel's civil war...will soon be over.

No one knows where Wei Yanwu got his information from, but no one would casually question his words.

This means that Longmen is about to face unprecedented severe challenges.

Almost everyone in the Terran nations knew how dangerous the Sarkaz were, and even if Dayan had not been among the coalition forces that besieged Kazdel, there was no guarantee what their new leader would think.

The strategy of making friends with distant countries and attacking nearby ones has never been extinct in history...

Since Wei Yanwu's departure from Shendu was not very "glorious", Shendu never sent a garrison to Longmen. The only armed forces were a few retired imperial guards loyal to Wei Yanwu, and a group of "scattered soldiers" assembled by the princess's guard Lin Gerui.

To this day, the former has become Wei Yanwu's intelligence agent and secret elite under the name of Shadow Guard, while the latter has been corrupted into various gangs after Longmen was pacified. Except for those who still expressed their loyalty to Lin Yuxia, they have basically been dealt with by the special inspection team.

In other words, Longmen’s current armed forces, apart from the shadow guards who generally do not show up easily, only have the Royal Guards.

"Governor Wei wants us to be enemies with the Sarkaz of Kazdel?"

"Of course not. We are trying to prevent them from becoming our enemies."

"But how can a country that has just ended internal war have the energy to provoke another fight? Don't they need to recover?"

Texas' question made Xingxiong and Xie Ming look at each other.

Although he has outstanding abilities and a good attitude, he is still young after all, and probably does not have a deep understanding of what kind of people the Sarkaz are.

If they really knew how to recuperate after the war, they would not have ended up being targeted by the entire world.

Xie Ming could only say that he was speaking from the perspective of an older person and had heard a lot about the Sarkaz, but Xingxiong, as a former general of the Mitsurugi shogunate, had read a lot about the history of world wars and naturally knew very well what the Sarkaz had experienced in history.

There is no real right or wrong, and no one is just. The only thing that is certain is that all parties involved have blood on their hands, including the Sarkaz who claim to be victims.

Therefore, if the civil war in Kazdel is truly over, the Sarkaz army that has been tempered in the war will inevitably turn its attention to the next target.

The nearest dragon gate is undoubtedly among the options.

"Do you all understand the strategy the Governor just mentioned?"

"Well... we should keep a low profile and be flexible on the outside but tight on the inside. However... the size of the Imperial Guard Bureau is already quite large. Do we really need to recruit more people?"

Xie Ming lowered his head and thought about it.

"No, we shouldn't use it for the time being, otherwise the citizens might have objections... Texas, the supernumerary personnel that the Governor granted earlier is under your management, right?"

Non-staff?

Texas didn't react at first, but soon realized that Xie Ming was talking about Lapland.

"……Yes."

"How is she doing?"

I acted on my own and ignored the action plan. I made things go wrong even though the task was easily accomplished, either causing unnecessary casualties to the criminals or messing around with the supporting team, and then leaving me to clean up the mess.

Fortunately, Texas kept its composure, otherwise it would have complained loudly...

“Although it is lacking in some aspects, it is still excellent overall.”

Xingxiong on the side tried his best to tighten his face so as not to laugh out loud.

As the second-in-command of the special inspection team, she knew how much trouble Lapland had brought to Texas.

It's definitely not a lack of something. She just relied on the name of the Guard Bureau to deal with the gangs she didn't like, and then called Texas to clean up the mess... Although she did crack down on crime, it seemed like her own wish.

For example, it's like the Bat Lord who has no obsessions, does whatever he wants based on his mood, and doesn't care how hard he strikes... If this is true, you can imagine how angry Sheriff Gordon would be.

"That's good. Perhaps this will be another direction for the Guard Bureau."

Xie Ming suddenly turned around and looked at the two of them. "Besides, people who act in secret will definitely be more likely to notice changes in the situation."
