Dragon Gate Swordsman

Chongxiao's pupils shrank slightly, and for a moment he even forgot to hold Huang Xinglan again.

Fortunately, the girl's emotions had calmed down under the influence of psychic power, and she was also thinking about the meaning of Jing Ke's words, otherwise she would have rushed forward again.

But when she thought of the crucial moment, she could no longer support herself and sat down on the ground weakly.

Again, Huang Xinglan is not stupid, he just hasn't experienced it yet...

"Inspector Chongxiao, am I calling you correctly?"

"No."

"My lord... I mean my real lord. He admires you very much, otherwise I would not have come to see you."

"…What do you want to say? Are you planning to recruit me?"

"What if I say yes?"

Chongxiao glanced at him expressionlessly, then squatted down and patted Huang Xinglan on the shoulder.

Obviously, this is a rejection.

He hasn't even completed his term as Longmen Inspector yet, and even if he has, he won't agree.

Seeing this, Jing Ke didn't say anything, but was about to turn around and leave... But at this moment, Chongxiao called him again and asked one last question.

"Why did you attack Miss Huang?"

Jing Ke narrowed his eyes slightly, exuding a certain dangerous feeling, "Since you don't want to work with us, this is not something you should know."

"What about her?" Chongxiao said without raising his head. At this moment, he was comforting the girl who was choking up again.

"...I have no choice... Anyway, you will know the answer in a few days at most."

Having said that, he turned and left without hesitation.

Chapter 49 Guests are arriving, the delegation needs bodyguards

Chongxiao finally understood what Zhao Zhen said: Your best choice is not to let her know the truth.

If this is the case, then Huang Xinglan at least has a target for revenge.

But now, who can she seek revenge on?

Is it Prince Zhen and Prince Cheng who are fighting openly and secretly for the throne, or are they the people who are offering advice from both sides, or even... those officials who know the reasons but don't stand up to tell the truth?

Just like Jing Ke, not everyone is necessarily the real murderer, but everyone is an accomplice.

The Huang family, which has lost its "power", has become an accomplice of the victim.

Huang Xinglan locked herself in the room and refused to take a step out... It wasn't that she had become autistic, but she didn't want to infect others with her mineralopathy.

Even in this early stage, the chance of oripathy being transmitted is infinitely close to zero.

Chongxiao tried to persuade her a few times, but the girl had obviously made up her mind: she would wait here until the coronation ceremony to see what the "cunning beast" would end up like, and then she would leave the capital as required and never come back.

"Actually, this may not be a bad thing for Miss Huang."

"Ok?"

Hearing Lin Qingyan's words, Chongxiao frowned and put down his chopsticks, "Could it be a good thing?"

Since accepting the award at the press conference that day, this chief clerk of the Dali Temple, who was suspected to have risen to the top through connections, has become a celebrity within the organization and a trusted confidant of Song Zimu and Song Shaoqing.

If you don't make any mistakes and work hard for a few years, you can be promoted to a higher position, not to mention the chancellor or minister, even the junior minister is not impossible.

Dali Temple Lin Shaoqing, sounds like a very good person.

The main purpose of her visit was to convey gratitude to Chongxiao on behalf of the Dali Temple and to express condolences to Huang Xinglan. She also brought a personal message from Song Zimu.

"It's not a good thing... I can only say that if you want to cure your mineralogy, staying in the capital is not a good idea."

Lin Qingyan pondered for a moment and explained to Chongxiao.

Since ancient times, Dayan has had the saying that people are the foundation of the country, and a solid foundation will bring peace to the country, so the true dragon emperors of all dynasties have paid more attention to people's livelihood... Of course, there are some exceptions.

Being more concerned means that Da Yan will not treat mineral patients as human beings like Ursus did, and will even find ways to prevent people from getting sick.

Everything has its pros and cons. This kindness and protection is certainly commendable, and it has also reduced the size of the infected population a lot. But we must know that there is no development without demand. The relatively small size of the infected population also means that the medical science for mineralogy is developing slowly.

On the contrary, in the neighboring Kazdel region, due to the unique thinking of the Sarkaz people, there are many patients infected with oripathy, which has given rise to targeted treatment methods.

"But we can't let Xiao Lan go to Kazdel. Isn't there a war going on there?"

Chongxiao recalled the airship he took when he went to Victoria, and they all had to bypass the Kazdale area.

"I didn't say that... But you don't have to go there to treat your mineralopathy. Victoria is also fine."

That's not a problem. Although Londinium is a bit of a mess, most of Victoria's territory is still prosperous. The Huang family property inherited by Huang Xinglan should be enough for her to go there to treat her mineralopathy.

After three rounds of drinks, Lin Qingyan was already a little tipsy, but he still didn't mention what Song Zimu's message was.

Chongxiao still had great trust in the Junior Official of the Dali Temple. He had told him and Lin Qingyan before the press conference that the case would be closed. This was just a superficial response, and he already had an idea of ​​the real culprit of the massacre.

I just don’t know if it has anything to do with what Jing Ke mentioned about finding out the result in a few days.

"Well... Qingyan..."

"Ok?"

"Lord Song..."

With no other options, Chongxiao had to take the initiative, "Is there anything you want to inform me about?"

"Make sure to appease Miss Huang. As for the murderer... Lord Song will definitely punish her appropriately."

Well, that means I have to wait.

Chongxiao himself was fine, but he felt very sorry for Huang Xinglan... The reactions of all parties now clearly showed that they already knew the truth, but were hiding it from others for some purpose.

As expected, all political matters involve is exploitation.

But what was even more strange was that Chongxiao felt that he could actually understand it very well.

This had nothing to do with him considering Zhao Zhen as a friend, but it seemed that he had seen many similar situations before... Combined with the several wise rulers who were naturally mentioned before, who were aggressive, killed their brothers and forced their fathers, and slaughtered their meritorious officials...

I must have been a very knowledgeable person!

Chongxiao became inexplicably excited, which made Lin Qingyan even more confused. However, the chief clerk of the Dali Temple was busy with work, and she didn't have much time to eat and drink here, so she said goodbye quickly.

Moreover, he even paid for the meal and drinks before leaving, which made someone exclaim that he was very loyal!

Who knew that when he turned around, he saw the fat boss Guo Shan with a "sad" look...

"Brother Chongxiao, you really have double standards. When a pretty girl invites you to dinner, you say that person is very loyal. I, Lao Guo, have been very considerate in entertaining you all the way, but I have never heard you say anything like that."

"Ah, this... is not true! Boss Guo is very loyal!"

"Alright, alright, what's the point of mending the fence after the sheep have been stolen?"

Guo Shan sat down with a sigh and picked up a new wine glass from the table next to him.

Lin Qingyan holds a public office, and he would not drink too much even when he is not at work, so there is at least half of the wine in the jug.

"Master Chen's assistant replied to me today. He will be able to see you after the coronation ceremony."

"Thank you so much, Boss Guo!"

Chongxiao, who was taking advantage of the situation, quickly toasted him a glass, feeling a little ashamed in his heart.

It is said that the person who rushed all the way from Longmen was Boss Guo. After arriving in Shendu, he was provided with food and lodging. He also got to know Taoist Qinglian through Boss Guo, and used him when investigating a case. In the end, he got nothing in return... It is really not right.

And until now, Guo Shan didn't seem to have made any requests...

After thinking for a moment, Chongxiao felt that it would be better to make things clear.

"Boss Guo, why don't you tell me what you need me to do?"

“…Not now.”

Guo Shan was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand indifferently, "To be honest, it was because we were too suspicious that we misunderstood Brother Zhongxiao. If we really want to count it, I should apologize to you."

Then he told the story of Simuitai.

But at the same time, Guo Shan also played a little trick, saying that he was cooperating with Si Suitai rather than being a subordinate.

After dealing with Chongxiao these days, he has realized that the other party is indeed a pure heart and has outstanding abilities. Even Ling admires him very much, so he really intends to make friends with him.

As for whether the "Xel'Naga" is another kind of giant beast, it is no longer important... Judging from the current attitude of the True Dragon Emperor towards Sui, it is obvious that he wants to show tolerance and acceptance with a bigger mind, which is completely different from the previous hostility and confrontation.

It can be seen from the fact that the new chief of Simuitai is an admirer of the fragments and he took the initiative to invite Ling and Qing to attend the coronation ceremony...

Chongxiao's mind was not shaken, he was not stupid and he had long seen that Guo Shan's kindness was definitely not just out of consideration for Nian's sake. He just didn't expect that Simuitai would suspect that he was a giant beast?

I look like a human from head to toe!

Just then, Chongxiao's cell phone suddenly rang.

It's Zhao Zhen... probably the most dangerous guy in the Divine Capital...

"You are quite courageous, Chongxiao."

"Uh...what do you mean?"

Although he knew it well, Chongxiao still chose to act crazy and stupid.

Anyway, I can't admit that I kidnapped your people and then refused your recruitment. This is such a ungrateful thing.

"Humph! Are you sure you want to play dumb with me?"

"That's true... I already have a job, I can't just quit without saying anything and not even write a resignation report."

Chongxiao knew very well that he must not stay around a dangerous guy and work for him. Besides, he felt that compared with Zhao Zhen, Wei Yanwu could be described as gentle and lovable.

"You kid... OK! Report to the Central District Special Police Station tomorrow to work as compensation for what you did yesterday."

"Is this considered a favor from me?"

"It's nothing! Don't bargain with me. My tolerance is not unlimited!"

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Zhen hung up the phone... He seemed to be in a bad mood.

Chongxiao, with a tangled expression on his face, glanced around and saw Guo Shan's fat face that was clearly gloating.

"Are you going to the Dali Temple to help again?"

"No, this time it's the Central District Special Police Bureau... Why is God's City so unstable?"

"That's not the case."

Guo Shan laughed and said, "Brother Chongxiao, I guess I'm asking you to go there not to investigate the case, but to be a bodyguard."

……

Although the Great Yan in history could not be said to be a closed country, it did have relatively little communication with the outside world. It was far from being like Victoria and Ursus, which would invade for no reason.

The reasons for this certainly include the vast land, abundant resources and the insurmountable Taihua Mountains, but the true dragon emperors of all dynasties were indeed more inclined to be conservative. Even the few who wanted to engage in large-scale foreign exchanges would be troubled by limited transportation conditions.

However, in recent decades, with the advancement of technology and the development of culture, Dayan has also begun to try hard... The birth of the mobile city Longmen is a proof of this, but it went astray in the first decade or so.

As for the generation that was about to ascend the throne, he displayed unprecedented grace and directly announced a decision that stunned countless people of Dayan.

The coronation ceremony of the True Dragon Emperor in 1091 in the Terra calendar actually invited envoys from various countries to attend!

Chongxiao was not a native of Yan, so he did not quite understand why this was so strange, but he soon realized that it was no wonder that after arriving in the Divine Capital, he felt that the city was decorated with extreme luxury. It turned out that this was to showcase the country's style to delegations from various countries.

There are still five days until the coronation ceremony, and delegations from various countries will arrive one after another. The overall reception will naturally be managed by the Ministry of Rites. At the same time, personnel will be drawn from the seven special police bureaus to form a temporary guard team to cooperate with the work of the Ministry of Rites.

Zhao Zhen asked Chongxiao to report to the Central District Special Police Bureau so that he could also gather the number of guards...

To be honest, he certainly didn't want to, but who asked him to tie up the flag of the Guard Bureau? It would be a favor if he wasn't directly accused of being a spy for another country.

"The basic matters are what I just mentioned. Next, all the special police officers please return to the team according to the numbers issued and rush to Xixuan Gate before twelve o'clock! Lord Yang will arrange the specific escort work for each team there. Remember, don't embarrass our Great Yan in front of the delegation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the huge auditorium fell into chaos.

There were thousands of personnel drawn from various special police bureaus, plus manpower support from other departments. If the auditorium of the Central District Special Police Bureau could not accommodate 2,000 people, they would probably have to hold the meeting on the parade ground.

Chongxiao did not receive any special treatment. He was treated just like any other special police officer. He stood up from his seat, holding the number that had just been issued at the meeting, and prepared to find his team.

The SWAT officer who presided over the meeting did not say any nonsense, but explained in detail what situations might be encountered during this temporary escort work.

Protecting the personal safety of the envoys from various countries is naturally the most important thing. Secondly, they may also be responsible for mediation and restraint... After all, the relations between countries are not necessarily harmonious. For example, Ursus and Casimir are almost sworn enemies. Who can guarantee that their envoys can communicate in a cordial and friendly manner when they meet?

"Lord...Zhongxiao!?"
