Dragon Gate Swordsman

Wait another month or two, and once the situation in the fringe areas has been completely stabilized by the Guards Bureau, the Longhui Gang led by Jiang Biehe can be easily dismantled.
Therefore, the first priority now is to deploy police officers and inspectors from the Guard Bureau to implement the responsibility of maintaining order in each marginal area.
But this actually has nothing to do with the Special Inspection Team... Their duty is still to deal with high-risk incidents in Lungmen. When the size of the Guard Bureau's personnel is further expanded, even the mission of going out on patrol may be cancelled.
Listening to Madam Wen Yue's explanation of the deployment changes in each jurisdiction, Xing Xiong soon became drowsy.
But she suddenly noticed that Chongxiao, who should have closed his eyes and slept standing up in such an occasion, was actually thinking about something with a sad face...
Driven by curiosity, Xingxiong reached out and poked him.
"That's strange. What are you thinking about?"
“…Texas is leaving us.”
"Hmm? Why…"
Xingxiong suddenly reacted. It seemed that when Texas stayed, he said that he would resign and leave after helping the Guard Bureau overcome the difficulties and repaying Chongxiao's kindness.
The biggest difficulty has passed. Doesn't that mean that Texas will leave after Madam Wen Yue completes all her deployments?
I feel a little lost.
"I understand how you feel, Chongxiao, but..."
"What do you know? Lao Wei didn't give you any bonus."
No...what does this mean?
Xingxiong asked suspiciously, "Bonus? What are you talking about?"
"Bringing Texas in, Lao Wei gave me a bonus. If she leaves...what if Lao Wei wants to take it back?"
Xingxiong was no longer sympathetic.
Xingxiong wanted to punch him now.
……
That night, at Wei Yanwu’s residence.
Although the physical fitness of the Great Flame True Dragon Royal Family is not as exaggerated as some Vaifan and Agor, it is still at a relatively top level when viewed from the perspective of the Terra continent as a whole.
So actually a few days ago, Wei Yanwu's health was no longer serious.
However, Wen Yue was concerned about her husband's health, so she offered to take his place for a few more days until the public security maintenance system was back on track.
In addition, Wei Yanwu has also been paying close attention to the situation in the capital.
According to the report from the Black Raincoat Shadow Guard, the news of the death of the True Dragon Emperor has been announced. I believe that in a few days at most, a special messenger will arrive at Longmen to inform us of the situation.
At that time, not only will the flag on the Governor's Palace be lowered, but all entertainment activities in Longmen will also be suspended for half a day to a day.
As for whether Taizizhen and Gongzicheng would fight over the throne, Wei Yanwu thought it was not something worth considering... Gongzicheng was intelligent and had a photographic memory, but he lacked magnanimity and had no charisma of a commander. He was not at the same level as Taizizhen.
The only question is how those officials and families who do not support Prince Town will react.
The Great Yan Dynasty has gone through more than 1,200 years, and the throne of the True Dragon Dynasty has been passed down to thirty-six generations. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the most stable country on this land.
Today, the status of Emperor Yan is no longer as powerful as it was hundreds of years ago. A high degree of monarchical centralization is implemented, and the descendants of Great Yan, who have enlightened the people, no longer regard the emperor as an absolute existence.
However, this still cannot prevent the conflicts caused by the struggle for power since ancient times.
Wei Yanwu was now certain that those soldiers from Yicong disguised themselves as kidnappers in order to inform him of the emperor's death without being discovered... Otherwise, he would have to wait until the messenger arrived to find out...
In this case, the purpose of those who sent these soldiers is very questionable.
Perhaps, they wanted me to return to the Divine Capital decisively, or to participate in the fight for the throne, or... to be treated as a threat.
Whenever he thought of this, Wei Yanwu couldn't help but sigh.
It is really hard to remain calm about the identity of a True Dragon Royal Family member...
"What are you doing on the balcony?"
"Madam is back."
Wei Yanwu turned around and returned to the study from the balcony. "Did the meeting go well today?"
Wen Yue, looking tired, put down her briefcase and nodded.
Coordinating the deployment of jurisdictions is a tedious task. Wen Yue has been busy dealing with this since she replaced Wei Yanwu at work, and it only came to an end today.
"My husband has been planning for this day for more than a few months. How could there be any problem..."
"I'm just afraid they won't be willing to take on this responsibility."
"Not willing? If someone is unwilling, he wouldn't have stayed in the Guard Bureau until today."
Wen Yue sat down and rubbed her sore shoulders. She had been standing in the yard for more than three hours in the afternoon and was really tired.
There's no way, because there's no hall in the house that can accommodate dozens of people.
"Is there any new news from the Gods?"
"The news of His Majesty's passing will probably be reported to Longmen in a few days. I hope that by then... nothing will happen."
Unexpected incident.
This word made Wen Yue stunned for a moment, and then there was a hint of worry in her eyes.
Logically speaking, Wei Yanwu, who is far away in Longmen, would never be involved in the disputes in the capital, but his identity is so sensitive that it would be difficult for him to escape. He can only take it one step at a time.
"By the way, I contacted the craftsman this morning, and she has completed the repair of the Scarlet Sky Sword."
"Really? So soon? Are you planning to give it to..."
"It's time, but with her current level, it may be difficult for her to successfully draw the Scarlet Sky Sword..."
Wei Yanwu suddenly thought of Chongxiao. After he started teaching Chen Huijie swordsmanship, he had also "inspected" it with his own eyes, and had to admit that those skills and understandings were both practical and worthy of in-depth study.
Wei Yanwu had already vaguely felt that Chongxiao's true swordsmanship level was probably indeed higher than his own, and not just a little bit higher.
From this perspective, Chen Huijie, who was taught by him, might very likely take a different path from himself.
It’s really an indescribable feeling... Wei Yanwu thought to himself.
"Alas, I can't say for sure now."
He raised his hand and stroked his beard.
Wen Yue and Wei Yanwu have very different opinions on Chongxiao. They believe that if Chongxiao is really a threat or hidden danger, then with his current ability, he is enough to turn Longmen and the Guard Bureau upside down.
Of course, the so-called "amnesia" is totally unbelievable...some of the words that Chongxiao said unintentionally, as well as the various abilities and skills he possessed, are unlikely to be something a twenty-year-old young man can do.
"Whether it's true or not, Xiaojie is going to Victoria soon, so it's best to send someone reliable to see her off."
"Reliable...Do you want to talk about Inspector Xingxiong or that kid Chongxiao?"
Hearing this, Wen Yue smiled slightly, "Why not both?"
……
It was still an open space not far from Longmen, and it was still Chongxiao and the three beautiful girls, but this time, Texas was replaced by Lin Yuxia.
The reason was simple: after suffering from Chongxiao's "harassment" for several days, Texas said he didn't want to see him again no matter what.
Besides, Shi Huaiya didn't actually need to come along. The breathing method Chongxiao taught her was easy to learn but difficult to master, and there was no specific guidance to give. But the girl was at an age where she was naturally active. It would be better for Shi Huaiya to try to challenge the Witch King of Letania alone than to let her meditate at home.
As for Lin Yuxia, she is becoming more and more curious about Chongxiao, so she wants to see with her own eyes what the sword skills of the one who Chen Huijie said is stronger than Wei Yanwu are like.
The result shocked her!
"You want to learn swordsmanship too? Oh... just find a stick and fight with Xiao Long Nu. When you can fight with the stick continuously, you will be able to become a master."
"Mr. Chongxiao, isn't this too brief?"
"Brief? Oh... find a stick of moderate length, uniform thickness, and smooth surface. Is that detailed enough?"
"Mr. Chongxiao, I am serious."
"I know, I know. Xiao Longnu will also seriously imitate you."
"Mr. Chongxiao, are you going to die?"
"Hmm... Hmm? Hey! Why are you talking so much, girl!"
Chongxiao, who was lying on the stone, suddenly stood up and angrily accused Lin Yuxia of her rude remarks.
He is very annoyed now because Texas seems to be determined to leave, but the more important reason is whether Wei Yanwu will take back the bonus after she leaves.
Chongxiao's first month's salary was used to pay for the damage to Wei Yangwu's office, and most of his second month's salary was used to pay off Xingxiong's debt. His third month's salary would not be paid for some time, so his expenses during this period were basically covered by the bonus.
If Texas leaves and has to give the money back...
"Mr. Chongxiao, I came here sincerely to ask you for advice on swordsmanship. If you don't want to teach me, then just say so directly. There's no need to be so perfunctory."
“Ah, this… this, this…”
Seeing Lin Yuxia's serious expression, Chongxiao was the first to back down.
Wait... teach swordsmanship? Oh, right! I haven't collected tuition from these girls yet!
Chongxiao slapped his forehead, and then he realized that he seemed to have overlooked something...
"Well...Xiao Linlin, go call Xiao Longnu and Xiao Cui over."
Xiao Linlin! Xiao Cui?
Lin Yuxia clenched her fists unconsciously. It was fine to call her that, but I was the eldest daughter of the Shi Huaiya family, and I was called a maid who served tea and water in classical novels?
"Mr. Chongxiao, please respect yourself!"
After glaring at him unhappily, Lin Yuxia turned around and went to look for the other two.
Typical of someone who says no but behaves honestly...
After a while, the three little ones gathered in front of Chongxiao.
Chen Huijie has been practicing swordplay very enthusiastically recently, because she has developed a new sword-fighting concept from Chongxiao and is trying to integrate it into her own habits. Shi Huaiya, on the other hand, is just the opposite. Although she has been promised a great opportunity in swordplay, the process of building a foundation takes at least years, so she naturally won't feel any progress in the short term.
"Well... although this cram school is very simple, I have attended it for a few years after all..."
"Mr. Chongxiao wants to collect tuition?"
gan...
Chongxiao looked at Shi Huaiya in astonishment. The words that were already difficult to say out loud now rotted in his stomach.
Little did he know that after the first class, Chen Huijie had planned to pay the tuition fee on her own initiative, but was stopped by Shi Huaiya... She thought that this might embarrass Wei Yanwu, and it would be better to wait until he learned real skills. By then, even if Wei Yanwu was still not convinced, the skills he had learned would be real.
However, Shi Huaiya gave herself the reason that it would be more interesting to wait for him to take the initiative.
"As for the tuition fee, according to convention, of course it has to be paid, but Xiaoxia has just arrived and hasn't benefited from it yet, so should she pay it?"
"Shouldn't, shouldn't..."
"Xiao Jie came here to seek guidance on the orders of Governor Wei, who happens to be your immediate superior, Chongxiao. In that case, how can you ask for money when you are following orders?"
“No, no…”
"As for me..."
Shi Huaiya chuckled, a cunning look flashed across his face, "As the saying goes, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Instead of giving you tuition, why not teach you how to make money?"
"Very good! Very good!"
Chongxiao, who had been full of worry, felt relieved and became more energetic.
Who is Shi Huaiya? She is the daughter of a huge consortium that dominates Longmen. Even if she has never eaten pig meat, she knows how to run. How difficult is it for her to give her two secrets to make a fortune?
Chen Huijie and Lin Yuxia had no idea what Shi Huaiya was up to, but seeing how useless Chongxiao looked, they were afraid that he had been betrayed psychologically... The two were too lazy to listen any further, and after looking at each other, they walked away as if they had telepathy, preparing to practice with each other.
"This method of making money is actually not difficult. Imagine that you originally spent more than 3000 a month, but after careful budgeting, you only need 2000. Isn't this a real profit of 1000?"
Chongxiao felt like something was wrong, but looking at Shi Huaiya, whose smile was as beautiful as a flower and whose charming appearance made her look lovely, he nodded subconsciously.
"Then let's start with the five aspects of food, clothing, housing, transportation and entertainment. Tell me how you spend your money?"
"I owe Xingxiong two thousand. I'll pay you back first."
"Uh-huh."
Through casual chatting, Shi Huaiya knew that the total bonus should be five thousand.
"Then I bought some clothes and some geography magazines, which cost me about five hundred dollars."
