Dragon Gate Swordsman

She first glanced at Chongxiao, and then dragged Texas away.

Xingxiong knew very well that some things were not suitable for them to hear.

"I'll go back first... But I would like to remind you, Governor Wei."

"Master, please feel free to speak."

"It's not a wise idea to guard against thieves for a thousand days."

After saying that, Nian waved goodbye to Chongxiao, turned around and walked into the night.

Now, apart from the shadow guards who were still loyally guarding nearby, there were only Wei Yanwu and Chongxiao left.

Looking at the somewhat embarrassed Chongxiao, Wei Yanwu had no intention of asking questions. Instead, he picked up his pipe and started smoking as usual, but found that the tobacco in the pipe had been extinguished in the fierce battle just now.

He looked up at someone, and the response he got was a helpless shrug...

I don’t smoke, so how could I possibly carry a lighter with me?

Someone said this in his heart.

"...Don't you have anything to say to me, kid?"

Sure enough, Wei Yanwu had already thought of the key, but he still gave Chongxiao a chance to choose.

Should he choose to tell everything, or keep it secret for the sake of a Sarkaz infected person of unknown origin... Considering Wei Yanwu's style, this is already a great consideration, otherwise he could have sent out the shadow guards to quietly take Leia away and send her out of Longmen.

"Can I say... I'm not really sure?"

"Not sure about what?"

His tone was calm and his expression was gentle, but this made Chongxiao feel more uneasy than a harsh scolding.

He knew that if he continued to conceal the truth, he would probably "break up" with Wei Yanwu, who put Longmen first in everything.

“That person is definitely not Princess Theresa of Kazdel, at least not the complete version of her.”

"Are you going to tell me that you kidnapped the Sarkaz princess... and brought her back to Longmen?"

Even though he was mentally prepared, Wei Yanwu couldn't help but gasp and almost pulled out his beard.

As mentioned before, he knew that Chongxiao brought back a Sarkaz infected person from outside, but he never thought that it would be... related to Theresa.

Moreover, this would explain a series of actions by Regent Theresis: it took a full ten years of civil war to achieve the final victory. If they did not seize the opportunity to cut the grass and root it out, there would definitely be endless troubles. Therefore, even if they risked offending Dayan, they had to find Theresia.

If Chongxiao could read Wei Yanwu's inner thoughts at this moment, he would definitely say with a mixture of laughter and tears, "Old Wei, you are completely wrong."

"They say she's not the complete her..."

"Don't make excuses, kid! You just need to tell me that all this is thanks to you, yes and no!"

Wei Yanwu began to scowl.

Normally Chongxiao is not afraid of this at all, but now... what Lao Wei said is absolutely correct, and there is no way to fight back.

In desperation, he had to apply the principles of a real man being able to bend and stretch, a good man not suffering a loss in front of him, playing ostrich when indecisive, and a dead pig not afraid of boiling water. He stood there, put on a smile, and began to hit Wei Yanwu on the head with moral principles.

Things like "not helping someone in danger is against the code of conduct", "saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda", "leave a way out for others so that you can meet again in the future", etc. Finally, they even brought up "risky political investment in Kazdel" and "principles of international humanitarian aid". In short, the idea is to say: providing Theresa with political asylum is a good deed that demonstrates the style of a great power.

At first, Wei Yanwu was able to maintain an expression of "I'm just watching you talk nonsense", but later on he was so angry that he started laughing at Chongxiao's fallacies.

"Boy, you really don't know what it means to interfere in the internal affairs of the Sarkaz royal family?"

"As long as you don't say anything and I don't say anything, who would know she's here? Besides, her soul has been torn apart, so strictly speaking, she can't be considered Trey..."

"Wait a minute, how did you know this?"

Because this is one of the special effects of psychic power.

It was difficult for Chongxiao to explain this problem to Wei Yanwu, just like Dehaka was unable to explain how Zehaka grew up.

But fortunately, Wei Yanwu, who seldom trusts others, gave Chongxiao enough trust.

"Well, since you have concluded that the princess is related to your past, I will allow her to stay... but only temporarily. If the regent attacks again... I'm sure you know what I will do."

Hearing this, Chongxiao's eyes sank slightly.

Obviously, this was the ultimatum Wei Yanwu gave him: as long as Tracys still refused to give up, then for the safety of Longmen, Leia would definitely be handed over.

Lord Chen who is far away in the capital, and the stubborn Little Dragon Girl... I seem to understand why you have that attitude towards Lao Wei.

……

"For the past ten years, the Guard Bureau has always upheld the philosophy of upholding justice and maintaining order, devoting time, energy, and even life to the city we live in, just to enable all of us to live in a happy and peaceful paradise. This is the Guard Bureau's ideal in the past, its purpose now, and its belief in the future. It is also the sacred goal that all police officers will work together for."

"Our city has suffered a lot. Ineffective laws, a divided society and ubiquitous crime have all made us pay a heavy price. But it is precisely because we keep this price in mind that the Guard Bureau is full of hope and keeps working hard. Under the leadership of the two chiefs Wei Yanwu and Xie Ming, and with the unremitting efforts of all police officers, Longmen has finally put aside the chaos of the past and embarked on a road full of hope."

“Please don’t forget the police officers who sacrificed their lives to fight crime and restore order in the process of making this city better. Don’t forget what kind of scene they wanted to see before making such a great decision. On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the Guard Bureau, let us all stand up and pay the highest tribute to all the police officers who sacrificed their lives.”

On the central street of Longmen, both the retired police officers who were invited to attend the celebration and the Longmen citizens who were watching nearby stood up, straightened their bodies, took off their hats, and cast solemn glances toward the back of the podium.

There, a monument to the heroes stood in the square, and its complete appearance gradually emerged as the waterproof cloth was removed.

Then, with Ajiu, who was dressed in formal attire at the podium, as an example, all the police officers raised their hands and saluted solemnly to the monument.

This is one of the most important parts of the 10th anniversary celebration of the Guard Bureau, and what follows is the commendation and awarding of medals to outstanding police officers... With such a full live broadcast, I believe that for a long time to come, they will all be the "star police officers" in the hearts of Longmen citizens.

But some thoughtful people noticed that this celebration seemed a little... weird.

Longmen Governor Wei Yanwu was not present. His wife, Madam Wen Yue, attended instead. Chongxiao, Texas and Xingxiong from the special inspection team did not show up either. Instead, the team was led by Haoyun and Jiaju.

Don’t they care about such an important occasion?

"Now that you mention it... it seems a bit strange..."

Reimu Le in the crowd stretched her neck to look around, "Brother Chongxiao is fine, but how can the Texas Sheriff not be present?"

Uh...what do you call him? Brother Chongxiao?

The corner of Mostima's eye twitched slightly, because this detail reminded her of the emperor's instructions: stay away from that poaching bastard Chongxiao, and don't let him poach any valuable employees from Penguin Logistics again!

By the way, I remember when we were tracking a spy a few days ago, Archangel Neng returned wearing Chongxiao's coat... Could it be that they did something! ?

Mastema was never one to let her imagination run wild, but she did take the emperor's words seriously, so she had to take this issue seriously.

"Ahem! Lei... Angel of Power."

"Huh? Why are you calling me like that all of a sudden?"

"Nothing special happened to you guys the day you returned to the base wearing Chongxiao's clothes, right?"

Remuel's expression froze on her face.

Please don't get me wrong, this has nothing to do with shyness or embarrassment, it's just guilt and fear... I feel guilty for not following orders and acting on my own, and I feel scared for having walked right to the gates of hell. If Chongxiao hadn't arrived in time...

After what she had experienced, it was not surprising that she would switch to a more intimate name, but it sounded different to Mastema.

After all, in order to avoid trouble, Remuel and Chongxiao did not tell Mostima the details...

On the other side of the crowd, Shi Huaiya, whose temperament became more ethereal as he embarked on the path of cultivating immortals, was also frowning secretly.

It wasn't because she noticed that Chongxiao and the others were not there, but because she was rejected when she invited her best friend Lin Yuxia to attend the celebration together in the morning... Although she was just a little surprised and unhappy at the time, but now thinking about it carefully, something seems to be wrong.

First of all, Lin Yuxia's tone was a little tired, but according to internal information, the intensity of the anti-terrorist forces' operations in recent days was not high.

Secondly, Chongxiao’s absence was fine, but as the leader of the special inspection team, Texas had no reason not to attend the celebration.

Finally, Shi Huaiya received news from within the family, saying that a terrorist attack seemed to have occurred on the edge of Longmen last night, and some people had witnessed the mysterious dragon shadow that appeared several times.

When talking to Lin Yuxia on the phone, Shi Huaiya mentioned this matter indirectly, but was simply brushed off by the other party... Based on her understanding of her best friend, if she had rejected it openly, it would have been fine, but brushing it off proved that there was a possibility of her involvement.

But the question is…what exactly happened?

"Don't ask me anymore, I don't know either, OK?"

Facing the inquiring gazes from Fiammetta, Red and Lao Li, Lappland shook his hair irritably.

Logically, she should have been the first person to be involved, but after following Wei Yanwu's orders to inform Lin Yuxia and Chongxiao, she was asked to rush to the vicinity of the Guard Bureau headquarters building immediately to prevent the enemy from launching an attack.

If it weren't for the following sentence, Lapland might have followed Wei Yanwu. As a result, she thought there was a fight and ran excitedly to the headquarters building of the Guards. And then... she was blown by the cold wind on New Year's Eve for half the night and almost caught a cold!

"You mean...the two of them teamed up to deceive you?"

"Yes, that's it!"

"That's even weirder, why would they do this?"

Lao Li was fine. Fiameta and Red both admired Lin Yuxia's judgment and command ability... If it was just Chongxiao, it would be fine. She would not give such a weird order casually.

What's more, the Governor of Longmen, Wei Yanwu, was also involved.

I feel like...something outrageous happened last night.

Although Fiammetta was not from Longmen and Red was not very interested in these things, they still discussed them for a long time in the command room.

Leaving aside the various reactions and feelings of the crowd, they also didn't know that Chongxiao, who did not attend the celebration, was at the direct road intersection of Longmen W-2A plot, preparing to send Ascalon away from Longmen.

At this time, the Sarkaz female assassin had changed into a set of travel clothes provided by the Guard Bureau to business personnel. Although it might not be as suitable as the original combat clothes of the Sarkaz, Ascalon, who had an excellent figure, still wore it in a different way.

Unfortunately, Chongxiao is not in the mood to appreciate these things now.

"…Tracy will not give up easily. You…need to be more careful."

"I know, and I've made the corresponding preparations."

The Holy Feather Glory given to Leia flashed through Chongxiao's mind. That sacred sword could just be used to conceal the aura of the Sarkaz. "Besides... Tracys shouldn't have any thoughts about Longmen in the short term."

"Why do you say that?"

"You should have been there last night. The power that Tracys used didn't seem to be specifically targeted at Old Wei. I could feel that it spread to the sky above Longmen in a rather obscure way."

Light of Destruction, Chongxiao was not aware of this power that belonged exclusively to the King of Sarkaz, but its ability to block the moonlight in the night sky was not just a literal meaning. So, unless Tracys did it deliberately for a grand occasion, there was only one reason:

He tried to use this power to "call" something.

And the result was obvious: Tracys "happily" accepted Wei Yanwu's proposal and led his men away from Longmen.

Chongxiao couldn't be sure whether it was the power of the Holy Feather's Radiance that had the effect he had expected, but it was certain that Tracys' "call" had not received any response.

"Forget it, leave the Dragon Gate matter to me. You should hurry back and assist Kal'tsit as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Askalon couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "It seems that you have chosen to support us."

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Besides, Kal'tsit and I are friends... Besides, I can't just support Tracy, can I?"

Chongxiao smiled self-deprecatingly, then handed the few things he brought to Askalon.

The first one was the book "The Lost Past, Sins and Punishments of the Sarkaz" that W gave me.

Now that W is no longer alive, this book, which carries some historical fragments and cultural details of the Sarkaz, should return to the hands of real Sarkaz people, rather than being given as a gift to themselves.

"I remember Hedley complained about why W didn't give him the book. Now he should be able to fulfill his wish... uh, if you still keep in touch with him."

Askalon did not answer, but stared at the book cover that Chongxiao had carefully put on.

The second item was a letter written by Chongxiao to Kal'tsit. In addition to a few greetings, the letter was mainly about asking about Huang Xinglan... Well, it should be about Huang's recent situation. After all, they hadn't been in contact for the past two years. Chongxiao didn't know whether her oripathy had been effectively controlled, and where she was and what she was doing now.

In addition, this letter also reveals a more obscure meaning: if things are impossible in some aspects, you can consider coming to Longmen for help.

Askalon naturally wouldn't open the letter on the spot, and gave Chongxiao a slightly strange look... Kal'tsit didn't seem to have mentioned that she and Chongxiao had a close relationship.

But when she saw the third thing, her eyes widened.

It was a pair of short blades that were very much in line with Ascalon's habits. The shape was exquisite yet simple, and the entire blade was a translucent dark green color, like some kind of priceless jade... A tiny rune pattern was engraved in the center of the blade, and the sharp sides emitted a cold light, which was obviously a creation of extraordinary quality.

Even when holding the pair of short blades, Ascalon had a strange feeling: his body became lighter and more flexible, and his perception became sharper.

Could it be that it has the Originium skill to enhance the user?

It was hard for her to imagine that there could be such a magical weapon that suits her so well. This kind of thing... probably wouldn't be found even if she searched the entire earth. So how did Chongxiao get it?

"Is this... for me?"

"I'm sorry for destroying your dagger and hidden blade. In fact, I've been thinking about how to make it up to you."

Chongxiao smiled and shrugged, "Oh, by the way, this pair of weapons is called Butterflies. Legend has it that only the strongest and most experienced warriors can use them... I think they are very suitable for you."

Chapter 137 Royal Guard Academy Graduation Season

Lying in the lush grass, Chen Huijie clutched Tianya and Chixiao on his back and held his breath.

Victoria's winters are not considered cold to begin with, and the temperature rises rapidly after entering April, when spring is in the air, prompting all things to revive... But at the same time, annoying insects are buzzing in the grass, wearing out the will and patience of the lurkers.

Fortunately, Chen Huijie has no shortage of these.
