Dragon Gate Swordsman

The name of Regent Kazdel was not a big secret. After ten consecutive years of civil war, anyone who paid attention to the situation knew his name and that of Princess Theresa. Moreover, these two were both six heroes passed down from generation to generation by the Sarkaz people.

Looking at the Sarkaz woman who was completely dazed, Chongxiao was secretly proud and thought that his choice was correct.

But the next moment...

The Sarkaz woman suddenly jumped up, and even though her limbs were tied to the bed, the bed still shook. Her originally indifferent face now showed obvious murderous intent.

"You are not allowed to...insult my teacher!!!"

Your teacher! ?

Chongxiao always felt that his brain was working well, until today...Tracy's student was related to Kal'tsit, what the hell was going on! ?

Fortunately, the Sarkaz woman was seriously injured and weak, and could not break free from the professional restraints, otherwise the ward would not be saved...

"Can you...can you tell me first..."

After the panting Sarkaz woman calmed down a bit, Chongxiao covered his already weak head and said, "Whose side do you support? Regent King Theresis or Princess Theresia?"

The other party did not answer, but just wrote "None of your business" on that ferocious face.

"Well, it seems that I can only use the last trick."

Chongxiao muttered in distress, causing the Sarkaz female's face to change, showing nervousness and... fear for the first time.

This made Chongxiao laugh and cry. He thought to himself, I have no other tricks left and can only use the last trick of "sincerity". Why are you so scared at this moment? You don't even want to die... Um, wait?

"Asshole! Who do you take me for?!"

The loud shout scared Haoyun, who was resting with his eyes closed outside the house, so much that he almost fell to the ground. He then quickly opened the door and took a look.

Chongxiao was seen standing beside the bed like an iron tower, his face full of anger, while the Sarkaz woman tied to the bed bit her lip and stared at him defiantly, feeling like a little girl who had suffered a great injustice.

Combining what had just been said and the current situation, Haoyun quickly understood what kind of misunderstanding had occurred here.

"…I say, why don't you untie her first? Otherwise, it's understandable that she's frightened. After all, she came from the battlefield, right?"

The corners of Chongxiao's mouth twitched a few times, and then he raised his finger.

Four sword energies suddenly shot out and cut the restraints with incredible precision, but did not hurt the wrists and ankles of the Sarkaz woman at all, which really shocked her.

But Haoyun, who was standing at the door, sighed, "You are rich now, ha. I will send it to you after the hospital adds the compensation to the bill."

After saying this, he immediately retreated, not giving Chongxiao any chance to speak, and also very simply destroying his majestic posture at the moment.

"What the hell is going on... You! Lie down right there! And listen to me!"

He sat back in his chair and said irritably, "I'm Chongxiao. More than two years ago, I was Kal'tsit's bodyguard in the capital, so we were friends. So if you're her man, then this is really a misunderstanding, do you understand?!"

After a burst of angry shouting, the Sarkaz women finally quieted down.

She just opened her mouth slightly and looked at Chongxiao steadily. The emotions in her eyes changed from hostility to confusion, from confusion to seriousness, from seriousness to enlightenment, and finally from enlightenment to absurdity... In the end, she just shook her head and smiled bitterly.

"I should have known it was you..."

"Huh? Why?"

"Kelsey... once mentioned you to His Highness. I heard it outside the door."

The Sarkaz woman said with a complicated expression: "Since it's you, then... my name is Askalon, and I used to be your highness's personal guard."

Chongxiao noticed a certain detail, "Was?"

"Well... Her Highness has... passed away. Kal'tsit and I buried her personally."

what?

Chongxiao's eyes moved slightly, and he sensed something was wrong.

I feel more and more that Leia is the princess of Kazdel. The scene when she was snatched away and the current situation of Sarkaz spies infiltrating can prove this. In the end, she was wrong... Askalon claimed to be the princess's personal bodyguard. It's impossible that she identified the wrong body or something?

Who is Leia then?

"How is Kal'tsit doing now? It must be... difficult, right?"

"Fortunately, Kal'tsit...went to Chernobog in the north. When she comes back, we will leave Kazdel."

"You just said that Regent Tracy is your teacher, will he let you go?"

"……Will do."

Ascalon didn't seem to want to talk about this topic, nor was he willing to explain this relationship.

But Chongxiao was already satisfied that he could confide so many things to him. It seemed that he left a very good impression on Kal'tsit, otherwise Askalon would not have cooperated so well after knowing who he was.

"So what about that Reboba person you killed? I know she was supposed to be a spy for Teresis, but you didn't do anything to the others."

When this was mentioned, a hint of ruthlessness appeared in Ascalon's eyes. "She once disguised herself as a refugee to sneak into the Tower of Babel and provided information to the assassins. She was one of the murderers who caused His Highness's death."

It turned out to be like this...

Chongxiao originally planned to ask about the details of Theresa's assassination to see if there were any doubts. After all, solving cases is the police's duty. But when he noticed that Ascalon's hands were clenched on the bed sheets and the pain and self-blame he could sense, he tactfully shut up.

But his intuition told him that there must be something fishy about the assassination... During the ten years of civil war, the princess's side seemed to have been crushed most of the time. Kal'tsit even had the audacity to ask for the assistance of the Great Flame True Dragon Emperor. Why was there a need for an assassination?

Furthermore, after the assassination, the remaining forces of the princess were not completely wiped out. Both Kal'tsit and Ascalon were still able to move freely, which was very interesting.

Does Tracy's idea mean that eradicating the problem completely is a waste of time?

Or does he want to keep this power for his own use?

That's a bit far-fetched... If one really wanted to use the enemy forces for one's own benefit, one would definitely frame the assassination incident on the other side, instead of sending one's own people to kill the other party's boss without denying it.

"So what are your plans for the future?"

Hearing this, Askalon was slightly stunned.

"Why are you asking...this?"

"If... Hey, don't be angry, I mean if... you are really desperate, you can consider coming down to Longmen..."

Chongxiao couldn't continue speaking because Askalon looked at him as if he was a clown.

Not the one who has been in a love-hate relationship with the master for decades, but the one who makes a fool of herself on the stage in all kinds of clumsy ways.

"Next time before you say something like this, please consider your own position, Mr. Chongxiao."

"……Fine."

Indeed, it seems a bit too fantastical.

The remaining forces of Princess Theresa and a few Sarkaz refugees are two completely different concepts. If you want to recruit them, let alone Wei Yanwu, even Ying Zhen, who is far away in the capital, will probably have to rub his head and think about it for a few days.

It was not until this time that Chongxiao remembered to ask about the real business.

"By the way, do you know why so many spies are sneaking into Longmen now?"

"I came here to investigate this matter, but... there is no result yet. I only know that what they are looking for is closely related to the Pardoner."

"Absolver? What is that?"

Askalon hesitated for a moment, but still explained: "The medical organization assisting Tracys is proficient in profound Originium techniques and has strong combat capabilities. It is difficult for any weapon to truly destroy them."

Ah, this... So The Shining is so awesome?

In addition to Shining, Chongxiao also remembered the black-robed swordsman who was killed by him in an instant before he snatched Leia. It seemed that he was vulnerable to Frostmourne. Why was it so difficult to destroy him...

However, I finally figured out the spy issue.

Chongxiao glanced at Askalon's hands, "Well... I hurt your hands badly, and ordinary treatment may not be very effective..."

"It doesn't matter. Kal'tsit will find a way."

"What I want to say is that I have it too. Come on! Give me your hand."

"Wait...wait! Let me go!"

Askalon wanted to fight back, but Chongxiao, who had stood up, grabbed his hands rudely and forced them in front of his eyes, preparing to try the seventh Taixu style that he had recently recalled.

However, at this moment, a cold sharp blade was placed across his neck.

Chongxiao, who was instantly frozen, and Askalon, who was almost petrified, turned their heads at the same time and found that the person standing there was Senior Police Superintendent Texas, who had already drawn the Yama Sword and had a kind smile on his face.

"Chongxiao, may I ask...what are you doing to this lady?"

Chapter 129: You Can't Catch a Wolf Without a Face

At that time, the knife was only 0.01 centimeters away from Chongxiao's throat, but a quarter of an hour later, the owner of the knife would completely forgive him because he decided to tell a lie... Although Chongxiao had told countless lies in his life, he thought this one was the most perfect.

"If you don't let go, I'll chop off those claws!"

Whether it was the slightly hissing tone, the trembling tail behind Texas, or Haoyun who was hiding outside the door and sticking his head out but didn't dare to come in, all proved that she was extremely angry at this moment.

With the Yama Sword across his neck, Chongxiao dared not move. Except for his rapidly working brain and his eyes, the rest of his body had probably turned into stone sculptures.

But this made Askalon suffer... Her wrist was still tightly held by Chongxiao, so she couldn't break free at all. And because she was lifted up, she couldn't relax while lying on the hospital bed. Her usually stern face even showed a bit of shame and anger, and she really looked like an innocent woman who was about to be molested by a villain.

In this situation, even if Kal'tsit and Tracy were here, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to handle it.

"There was once a..."

"Shut up! Still want to talk nonsense? Let me go first!"

Texas finally got angry and successfully used the skill "Rebuke", interrupting Chongxiao's spell.

This killer move, which was once learned by countless protagonists to pick up girls, ended in "dying before achieving success"...

She loosened her hands, letting Askalon lie back on the bed, and quickly grabbed the quilt to cover most of her face... Her hands were seriously injured, and even her combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, but this was not the most important thing for her at the moment.

But the question is how to escape from the great devil Chongxiao.

Kal'tsit, you told His Highness that there might be some hope hidden in this person, but I think it is the despair that is tormenting him, right?

Askalon, who rarely expressed his opinions, complained in his heart.

She was out of "danger" temporarily, but the Yama Sword was still on Chongxiao's neck.

Texas's anger didn't seem to have diminished much. He was still looking at the sweaty Chongxiao with murderous eyes, and had no intention of putting down the Yama Sword.

This made Chongxiao and Haoyun, who was leaning forward, realize that something was amiss: If it was just because of the scene in the ward, then she wouldn't be like this now... Could there be something else?

Yes, there really is.

Let's go back to half an hour ago...

……

"Sister Gui, this is the internal investigation letter sent to you by the bureau."

"Oh……"

"This is the fourth time you've been complained about this year."

"Really……"

"You should pay more attention to it. If the internal investigation fails, the prosecutor's office may charge you."

"Mmmmmmm..."

Looking at the Star Bear who was still wandering around in his dream, Texas couldn't help but frown.

Although Sister Gui is usually careless, she can still distinguish priorities and attach great importance to the internal investigation. Why is it now...

"Ghost sister."

Texas held Xingxiong's rocking chair and said, "Once the formal charges are issued, you will be demoted and fined no matter what the result is."

By the way, this rocking chair was bought for Xingxiong by Chongxiao before he left last year. Since it was put in the office, Xingxiong has basically never sat on that square office chair again.

"Oh...I see. I'll take a look later."

Having said that, Xingxiong still threw the investigation letter on the desk after taking it, leaving Texas speechless.

You have to know that if something like the internal investigation letter is not handled properly, not to mention being demoted, fined, and asked to write a self-criticism, it will be a question whether you can keep your job... Today's Guard Bureau is not as short-staffed as it was in the past, and they will never hesitate to fire some bad apples.

The fact that Xingxiong has received many complaints is partly due to her gangster background. After all, it is an indelible "black spot", so those who hold grudges against the Guards Bureau and want to make trouble will most likely target Xingxiong.

"Sister Ghost, have you encountered any happy things recently?"

"Ah... uh uh... yes... sort of."

Hmm? Such a flustered expression... What are you hiding?

Seeing that Xingxiong's expression suddenly froze and a hint of tension appeared in his eyes, Texas' eyes suddenly became sharp.

It was just a casual question, but I never thought I would get an unexpected reward! ?
