Dragon Gate Swordsman

"It's not him I want to protect, Old Wei. You should know what I really mean."

Wei Yanwu looked at him expressionlessly.

The real meaning...isn't it to use Red's entry into the special inspection team to clear the names of the infected people?

The Guard Bureau is Longmen’s official law enforcement agency, and the Special Inspection Team is the face and backbone of the Guard Bureau. Its importance is self-evident.

So if such key departments can allow infected people to join, does it mean that Longmen’s official attitude towards infected people has completely reached the same level as that of ordinary people?

In short, in an environment where most countries and regions explicitly exclude infected people, this behavior can be considered a signal... a friendly signal to the infected, and it is far more useful than empty slogans and propaganda.

But the question is: what will this cost Longmen?

If it were in the past, Wei Yanwu would definitely stop it without hesitation, but now... the increasingly lucrative profits from the ore processing project have made him change his views on the infected people a little.

"Of course I understand, but... remember, kid, if Longmen gets into any trouble because of what you did... don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Uh...it's not that exaggerated."

Chongxiao smiled and perfunctorily answered the question, while putting the things he brought on Wei Yanwu's desk, almost knocking over the ashtray.

Wei Yanwu wanted to scold it, but he found that the shape of this thing was very similar to... a sword, and his eyes suddenly brightened.

"Could this be..."

"Yes, this is for you, Old Wei."

Chongxiao deftly untied the rope and took the gift out of the cloth bag.

As expected, this is another sword.

The edge is restrained, upright and majestic. In Wei Yanwu's impression, there are very few sword weapons that can possess such a peaceful and simple, yet majestic temperament.

On top of the ancient hilt is an inverted trapezoidal bronze guard, just like the giant tripod that suppresses the earth veins in the legend of Dayan. The shape of the sword is quite ordinary, without any special features, but it faintly flows with a fiery heroic spirit, giving people the illusion that as long as it is wielded, they can slay demons and eliminate evil.

Looking at this extraordinary sword, Wei Yanwu was amazed but also a little frustrated. He was amazed that the sword seemed to carry a kind of majestic meaning between heaven and earth, but he was frustrated that Chongxiao seemed to be able to take out a sword casually and it was no worse than Chixiao.

"Does this sword have a name?"

"Hero Sword, doesn't it suit you well, Lao Wei?"

When he said this, Chongxiao had a playful look on his face, and it was obvious that he just said it unintentionally.

But when Wei Yanwu heard it, he felt a little sad.

A hero will not force his sister to get married, causing her to become depressed and die of illness. A hero will not do things against his will for the so-called greater good, and end up being alone and misunderstood by everyone.

"…You should take this sword back with you."

"Ah? Why?" Chongxiao was stunned.

"With my abilities, when have I ever needed a real sword? This thing is of little use to me."

"Come on, Lao Wei... The reason why you were beaten by Tracys was because..."

"When has this old man been beaten?"

Wei Yanwu started to get anxious again. Although he was bound to lose given the situation at that time, there was still no winner in the end!

"Hey... Others can't see it, can I? Old Wei, your Chixiao sword energy is not top-notch to begin with. If you deliberately put aside the need for the sword, that would be a denial of the way of the sword... Anyway, this heroic sword is yours. Just don't learn from its previous owner to play the erhu all day long. I won't care even if you throw it away."

After saying that, Chongxiao immediately rushed to the window on the side and jumped out before Wei Yanwu could react.

The roof of the Governor's Palace has become someone's "private passage".

After leaving Wei Yanwu's office, Chongxiao drove all the way to Dong Fang's restaurant, where the person he had an appointment with was already sitting.

It was Fiammetta and Mostima.

Both of them looked like they were about to go on a long journey, with their luggage placed on one side. I guess they would leave after talking with Chongxiao.

This time they were going back to Lateran...mainly because Mostima had received a letter from the Pope's Office, and Fiammetta, as her supervisor, would definitely act together.

However, Fiammetta has another "mission", a "mission" assigned to her by Chongxiao.

"Excuse me, Chongxiao, but Lateran has always upheld the principle of equal treatment and may not agree to your request."

"Is it not possible for me to join them in dealing with the Sarkaz?"

"Hard to say."

Fiammetta gave a forced smile.

Chongxiao is a man who does what he says and never hesitates, so before he proposed to Wei Yanwu to establish relations with the Sakota people, he actually asked Fiameta about the possibility of an alliance between the two sides.

Naturally, the answer was no.

As the most special city-state on this land, Lateran has always been an absolutely neutral camp that is impartial, non-aligned and non-declaring war in international affairs... Of course, the Sarkaz mercenaries who are looking for trouble are an exception. The Sakotas are eager to use their revolvers to blow those bastards to death.

But personal grudges are personal grudges, and Rutland will not change his political stance because of this.

In fact, this is also a common policy among all city-states on the Terra continent. Only absolute neutrality can help them gain a foothold among the countries. If they simply side with one side, they will easily make enemies.

Chongxiao expressed his understanding... and disappointment. He thought, if they couldn't form an alliance openly, then couldn't they "collude" a little in private?

So religious people are old-fashioned, pedantic, and stubborn!

"Okay, it doesn't matter, just remember to mention it... When will you be back?"

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm still here, Chongxiao!"

Mostima finally couldn't help it. Although he knew that this guy had been very close to Fiammetta recently, wasn't it too much for him to ignore his existence after sitting down?

Does he really like red-haired girls that much!?

"…I know you're here, Mastema, so what's the problem?"

"The question is, what does it have to do with you when Fia comes back?"

Mostima wasn't eating wrong, in fact she was reminding Fiammetta in a tactful way.

During this period, as the anti-terrorism operations slowed down, Fiameta also began to ask Chongxiao for advice on close combat, so the two of them would hang out in the training ground near the slums and fight each other whenever they had nothing to do.

She learned from Texas that Chongxiao had previously carried out similar daily activities with Xingxiong, and now the world is full of rumors about them... Now Feiya has also embarked on a similar "path", and she is also a red-haired person, what if...

We can’t let Fia fall into this guy’s “clutches”!

"What's wrong with you, Mastema? Isn't it normal for Chongxiao to ask me when I will be back? My combat training is not over yet."

"I... Tsk! Fia, your main task is to supervise me, not... to be a sparring partner for this guy!"

"You are wrong. I am receiving training. It is Chongxiao who is teaching me patiently."

Fiammetta explained seriously, "Also, I think that you, Mostima, are very sensible and have not lost your original intention. I don't need to supervise you... Maybe I can apply to become a liaison officer stationed in Longmen."

Mostima was stunned.

How long has it been since I and Fiammetta returned to Longmen? Why did her attitude suddenly change 180 degrees? At that time, she even taught me not to cause trouble everywhere, but now she just let me go! ?

Thinking of Remule who kept calling him Brother Chongxiao after the New Year, Mostima felt a sense of powerlessness rising from the bottom of his heart.

Emperor, I am slowly beginning to understand...how you felt when you saw Texas joining the Guards.

Chapter 140 The Guards’ True Love

Lying lazily in the driver's seat, Chongxiao impatiently turned off the ringing phone without even checking who was calling.

There's been a lot going on lately...

Nian and Tang Niu had already held the opening ceremony of "Ancient Forbidden Army Now Love", so they called again and again, wanting Chongxiao to visit the filming site and give some suggestions.

To be on the safe side, this time Star Shine Films still invited Wan Shengsheng to be the female lead, and the male lead is a talented action actor from Longmen at this stage... Chongxiao was actually not very optimistic about their performance, because the focus of this script should be to attract young people's love, but the male and female leads were both action stars who could not act in this kind of drama at all, and it was obvious that they wanted to work hard on the action aspect.

As a result, it is not so easy to attract young couples who love watching movies the most. We can only wait and see what the quality of the film is.

There were more things happening at Penguin Logistics... It's not that Chongxiao was still maintaining an employment relationship, but after experiencing the life-and-death situation that day, Remule had obviously become much closer to him. The things that used to bother Texas were now on him, and he kept calling him "Onii-chan" as he learned from the East Country anime, which was really hard to deal with.

But Chongxiao knew that this guy's real goal was to get a fully automatic long-range attack weapon like the Immortal-Slaying Sword.

The anti-terrorist force has basically been disbanded, so there is nothing to deal with, except that Lappland has repeatedly expressed that she wants Doran's Blade right now... It's not that Chongxiao doesn't want to give it to her, but once she gets it, the first thing Lappland will do is to challenge Texas in a duel.

Are you kidding me? I give you a weapon and ask you to beat up my girlfriend? What if she doesn't let me stroke her hair or rub her ears? Are you responsible? Your hair is not as smooth as Texas's.

The situation at the infected relief agency was also not peaceful. Perhaps the decision to let Red join the special inspection team was a bit hasty, resulting in a large number of infected people fleeing from Chernobyl. Just registering information and arranging their daily lives kept Mrs. Audrey and Leia busy all day long.

Moreover, at this critical moment, the most reliable Shi Huaiya and Lin Yuxia both ran to Londinium to pick up Xiao Longnu...

Chongxiao had to be thankful that they had arranged the operation of the ore processing plant before they left, otherwise they would have been caught off guard.

Compared with the above things, the special inspection team did not pay much attention to their main work, which led to Kanelian, who had just returned from Sargon not long ago, becoming an active slacker.

Ahem...just touch it, we are doing this for the future of Longmen.

Chongxiao was not making excuses, but in recent months, he had indeed been working hard for this, but "expanding armaments" was not something that could be accomplished overnight.

"Attention, passengers! Attention, passengers! The Xiangkong airship from Victoria Manchester City to Longmen is about to arrive and will be docked at Terminal 4. Please ask the crew to go to the fourth departure gate..."

The sudden sound of the radio woke up Chongxiao who was planning to take a nap, and he turned over cursing.

The flight that Xiaolongnu and her friends took when they came back should have taken off directly from Londinium, which has nothing to do with Manchester, so it was definitely not this trip.

To be honest, Chongxiao didn't want to drive over to pick people up, as he was busy planning how to strengthen Longmen's military armaments. Xiaolongnu and the others were not children anymore, and they had Xingxiong to take care of them, so there was no need to pick them up.

But what can we do now that Lao Wei has spoken?

"What a waste of time."

Chongxiao muttered something, then closed his eyes and prepared to continue waiting.

If I remember correctly, the Xiangkong airship that returned from Londinium arrived around this time.

However, just when he was feeling a little sleepy, he was awakened by a familiar voice.

"How did you...drive this car?"

Star bear?

As soon as Chongxiao opened his eyes, he saw Xingxiong with a helpless look on his face, standing outside the car door with his hands on his hips, looking at him.

Still a little dazed, he didn't think much about it, nor did he realize that Xingxiong was going to pick up Chen Huijie. After opening the door and getting out of the car, he directly hugged Chen Huijie and even wanted to kiss her.

After taking advantage of Xingxiong a few times in the office, Chongxiao now feels that it won't be a big problem even if he drags Xingxiong back to the room... After all, she is the first woman he truly knows in this world.

Ah Jiu? Sorry, I was just doing the registration as a routine, I wasn't familiar with him at all...

However, for some reason, Xingxiong, who should have been very obedient, seemed to be frightened and instantly raised his hands to clamp Chongxiao's sleepy face.

"What are you thinking about? Let go of my claws!"

Huh? Why are you so fierce? We have already...

In an instant, Chongxiao froze in place as if he had been struck by lightning.

Because he then noticed the three little ones behind Xingxiong... Well, they can’t be called three little ones now, because they have all grown into fully grown girls.

Chen Huijie, who had not been seen for nearly two years, seemed to have grown taller, and the heroic look between her brows was even better than before, but her long hair, which was loose behind her back, made her look more feminine and soft, and the combination of the two made her have a unique charm... However, Xiaolongnu, who had just let go of the handle of the suitcase, seemed to be about to pull out Tianya and Chixiao from the travel bag, and a faint black aura emanated from her whole body.

Shi Huaiya's state was just the opposite. Her pretty face, like an elf, was full of smiles, so much so that her lively eyes were narrowed. However, at the same time, the spiritual energy that permeated around her had condensed into a shape visible to the naked eye. The crystal-like jade-like Immortal Sword was looming, like a tiger waiting in the jungle, ready to launch a charge to hunt its prey in the next moment.

Without a doubt, Lin Yuxia was the most "normal" of the three. She just crossed her arms, tilted her head, pouted her lips, and glanced at Chongxiao with a look of contempt and disgust, completing a typical "Kousaka Kirino" composition... Of course, if it weren't for the tail behind her shaking and swaying rapidly, and her pair of big round ears trembling slightly, others might have been fooled by her expression.

After blinking his eyes, Chongxiao finally "woke up" and subconsciously let go of Xingxiong who was struggling hard.

Unexpectedly, Xingxiong, who was in a hurry to retreat, was too flustered and did the "stupid thing" of tripping over her right foot with her left foot, and fell straight backwards. Chongxiao, who was watching this scene, of course stepped forward immediately and reached out to support her.

Well, if what happened just now was just an ordinary "entanglement", then now it is a hug with great dance beauty...

"Has the current Special Inspectorate... fallen to this level?"

“It’s like a walking source of contamination and pathogen.”

"They are so shameless and depraved in broad daylight!"

Chen Huijie, Shi Huaiya and Lin Yuxia expressed their opinions respectively, which made Xing Xiong, who was furious, want to strangle this bastard who didn't consider the occasion with the Chaos Blade... Can't you wait until we get back to the office? It's not like I won't give it to you...

In short, when the farce finally came to an end and everyone was preparing to get in the car, they discovered that Chongxiao seemed to have done something stupid again.

He drove a Guards SUV directly over...

Logically speaking, this car has spacious seats and a large cargo capacity, so it can be used to pick up people and carry luggage. However, you must know that the protective net on the rear seat windows... is used to prevent arrested prisoners from escaping.

Therefore, the three people who had no choice but to get on the car all switched to a black face state and stared fiercely at the back of Chongxiao's head.
