Longmen Memoirs

"I can't help but think like this. Cosiche took her away. If it was Cosiche, if it was him... I wouldn't be surprised what she would do under Cosiche's teachings. She hates me, she There are reasons to hate me, and I feel sorry for her." Wei Yanwu said slowly and softly: "If we end up on the opposite side, I can only prepare for the worst. We cannot afford the consequences of underestimating the enemy."

"Oh, after so many years, you finally said this. It's just Xiaota. If Xiaota was really taught by Koxiche to be what you said, what should Hui Jie do?" Wen Yue couldn't help but ask. : "Do we really want her to face it alone?"

"... her skills are very good, but not enough. She has potential, but she is neither like her father nor her mother." Wei Yanwu said.

"Yeah, she doesn't look like anyone." Wen Yue looked at Wei Yanwu. "But she is most like you. You taught her to be like this."

"..."

Wei Yanwu was silent for a moment.

"Where is that child?" Wen Yue said again: "Those words he said to you the night he left Longmen, does he look like his parents? I am not as familiar with them as you are."

"He." Wei Yanwu thought for a while, "I can't explain. He is as stubborn as his father, and has the courageous side of his mother. They both look the same."

"Just like them?"

"It's not a good thing, it's unlikely to be a big thing." Wei Yanwu said: "As long as you can find a way around it, you won't lose your life."

"If you really think so, you won't pay attention to Kazdel's letter." Wen Yue pursed her lips and asked with a smile.

"Who are you going to send?"

"...Foxhound, let her take her people."

"I thought the last person you would send there was Foxhound. You should know their relationship. Aren't you afraid that Foxhound will bring someone to disrupt your arrangement? She is someone who can do such a thing. .”

"Just because I know it, the most suitable person is her."

"Do you think Longmen might be pushed out by him and used as a target for Londinium, and he would do this?"

"There's nothing else he doesn't dare to do. He probably wants to drag Yan and Victoria into the water together so that he can help his Sakaz make the situation even more chaotic. But that won't happen if Foxhound is here. Longmen is not ready yet. It’s okay to break up with Victoria, I never did before, and I won’t do it now.”

Wei Yanwu sneered and said that he was sure that there was a high possibility that the other people sent there would be used as bait to attract Victoria. He wouldn't do that?

There was nothing else he didn't dare to do. Fight back to Longmen and kill the inspector. He was walking further and further away. Maybe that person never thought about turning back.

It’s not easy to look back, but it’s even harder to move forward.

"That's it?" Wen Yue asked. "You can obviously refuse them."

"He wants to give it a try, and Longmen can also give it a try. Longmen needs allies, provided that Longmen's involvement is not revealed. The war in Sakaz has begun. Wenyue, Longmen not only wants to remain neutral, but also needs to match it. power." Wei Yanwu said: "What's more, Chen Huijie is also in Londinium now. Foxhound knows this very well. I agree to provide him with Longmen's business channels in Victoria, but I also have a condition. He can no longer interact with Chen Huijie. Any contact."

"is it possible?"

"Officer Su has always been a smart man." Wei Yanwu replied. He seemed to be very sure of Su Li's choice. "She understands the purpose of this mission. If this mission fails, there will be no place for her in Longmen or with me." ."

"I thought you helped him in the hope that he could help you deal with Xiaota's affairs in the future?" Wen Yue asked pointedly.

"...I never thought about it that way."

　【&/

"The grudge between me and him has been wiped out, and we have nothing to do with him anymore." Wei Yanwu said, then paused: "I'm just worried?"

"What are you worried about?" Wen Yue asked.

"Our enemies have always been hiding in the dark, but we have to stand in the most open place, just like back then. What is Kosich planning? He taught Tallulah to grow up. He hid too deeply. I would rather I believe Tallulah has become the heir created by Cosich." Wei Yanwu sighed deeply: "I don't put my expectations on anyone, whether it's Chen Huijie or him, but I still have to do what I can. Everything you prepare will be put to use one day.”

On the premise of not exposing Longmen, providing a little help and investment to Sakaz and Londinium will be beneficial to Longmen in the long run.

Whether Sarkaz lost the war or Londinium was in vain, Dragon Gate did not pay much compared to the possible rewards.

Wei Yanwu's planner Wenyue can understand that the pressure brought by Kosich can only be understood by those who have faced him directly.

She couldn't help asking:

"...Could everything have slipped into Kosiche's trap since we retaken Longmen?"

"We have won." Wei Yanwu looked at Xiaoyu in front of him and said softly: "Do you remember, it was our victory in the beginning, even though it was painful, me, you, Edward, Corey, without us he would eat away this city. I never viewed this as an unfortunate beginning, nor do I blame Cosiche for Edward's death."

Wen Yue leaned gently beside Wei Yanwu and held his hand.

"You want this to be a nightmare?"

"Nightmares will always wake up, Wen Yue." Wei Yanwu felt the warmth of his palms on the rainy day: "The nightmare should end when Cosiche dies."

"Xiaota will not be his, Yanwu." Wen Yue raised her head and looked at Wei Yanwu's side face: "I know you have prepared the worst in your heart, but I don't believe it. Xiaota has never been that kind of person. She Why do you do this? To come back to you for revenge and become the heir of Cosiche?"

"What if she really becomes like that? Cosiche's methods are endless. How can Tallulah resist it? She hates Longmen and me. I can't drag Longmen into danger just because of some uncertain hope. "

"If the worst comes to worst, I will die with you."

"Don't say such things, you won't die, never!" Wei Yanwu squeezed Wen Yue's hand: "Only cowards need others to take their lives, let alone you, I can't... Maybe I have been cowardly, but , Wenyue, I won’t allow anyone to touch you.”

"What about you?" Wen Yue said: "As you said, if Xiaota really comes back for revenge, she must be ready. You have to face her alone. If you don't trust Xiao Chen, what about you? , can you attack Xiaota?"

Wei Yanwu didn't answer. Wenyue leaned on his shoulder and closed her eyes gently. The light rain outside knocked down the leaves, and the sound of rain was clear.

"You can't do it, Yanwu. I know you can't do it. You have trained Hui Jie so well. She has become more and more like you. You never show the slightest concern for her. Do you want to If Xiaota comes back to seek revenge on you, and if you die, Hui Jie doesn’t have much affection for you, and she can bear not to risk her life for you.”

Wei Yanwu was silent. He was waiting for the day when Talulah came back, but he could make up a thousand or ten thousand reasons to deal with it, but he knew that although the woman beside him was quiet and peaceful, she was cunning in her heart. The goblin, he couldn't deal with it, and he couldn't open his mouth to deceive her. That was the last softness and rest in his heart.

Chen Huijie understood Wei Yanwu, but she only understood part of it. Chen Mo understood Wei Yanwu, but he only understood part of it, including his old friends and subordinates. Wei Yanwu is a complicated person. If anyone really understands him, , I'm afraid there are only Wenyue and the dead Koxiche.

"Wenyue, are you threatening me?!"

Wei Yanwu finally spoke, but he was not willing to show any anger.

"Oh, no, that's not what I meant. I mean... you have already thought of a way out for me. I can guess it without you telling me."

"...I will hide you. You cannot return to the Eastern Kingdom. I will send you to a distant country, to a quiet small town that no one knows. You will be hidden in a place that no one knows. Without the Dragon Gate, my compatriots No matter how much he hates me, brother, he will never chase you so far away, he won’t, yes, he won’t.”

He wasn't really so sure.

"But I can't live, I can't live alone." Wen Yue said: "Do you want to torture me with your death? Have you forgotten why your sister died of depression?"

"No, no, Wen Yue, no, I want you to be alive, I..." Wei Yanwu was panicked for a moment, and soon he could no longer say those words, because he saw Wen Yue's smile, that gentle woman was still bright and bright Purpose laughs.

"Wei Yanwu." She opened her mouth and said, "I mean, I can do it. Dying with you is the best of the bad endings I can imagine. Or, even though it is also very bad, for me , is a good ending.”

I don’t expect all stories to be happy at the end, but for me, it’s good enough.

"I don't allow you to say such things, and I don't allow you to do this."

"But you know, you can't stop me. You have never stopped me from doing anything I want to do." Wen Yue said softly, "Just like I secretly told Hui Jie something in a letter without telling you, you are just pretending." Zuo is ignorant."

"Wen Yue..."

"I know you always tell me the truth. Sometimes you don't say anything, but as long as you tell me, I know you will only tell me the truth." Wen Yue said: "I don't want you to die, and I don't want you to die either. If Xiao Chen and Xiao Ta die, I don’t want any of you to die."

She whispered softly, as if she remembered something in the misty rain and fog.

"I miss Xiaota. She looks so much like your sister, and her eyes are like Edward's. She also had a temper like her when she was a child... I haven't seen her in so many years." She said: "This We owe her everything.”

"...and Hui Jie." Wei Yanwu sighed.

"Yes, there is also Xiao Chen." Wen Yue said: "I also want to buy her some beautiful clothes and give her some hairstyle that suits her."

"She...actually doesn't like traditional dressing up that much." Wei Yanwu moved his lips.

"But I like it, how beautiful it is, how beautiful she will be, I still think about it, and I still think about Xiaota. I hope they can all live well, and I hope to watch their future lives and watch them grow up." Wen Yue said: "If there comes a day when you are unable to take action, I will join you. I will help you take Xiaota's life, and then I will accompany you to death."

"Wenyue!" Wei Yanwu said loudly.

"You also want them to live, right?" Wen Yue said softly: "In this Longmen City, I would rather never see them again. I would rather never see Xiao Chen and Xiao Ta. I would rather forget them all. I also want them to live.”

She looked at Wei Yanwu and slowly added: "Just like you, just like you want me to choose this way."

"I hope you know that our lives are not indivisible, Wenyue."

"Of course not, I don't want to do this all because of you."

Wei Yanwu sighed softly.

"At least it's not that day yet," he said.

So when Chen Huijie came back later, Wen Yue was extremely happy, and Wei Yanwu's anger had nowhere to go. He had to pinch his nose and admit that they had one more relative, maybe two.

He also had to admit that the plans he had made long ago had finally changed.

Chapter 33 Get on the bus first, pay later

Kelsey learned that the substitute who left the court was an accident.

An accident that finally could no longer be concealed.

Very few people in the Tower of Babel really know the identity of Chen Mo. In fact, not only the Tower of Babel, but also the entire Li Court do not know this leader. After all, he has been out for too long. Even he could not completely rule the entire Li Court among his former subordinates.

Li Ting's position in the Tower of Babel is too awkward. Most people know about this organization, but only a few people know their true situation and deployment, and Kelsi happens to be one of them.

They kill without batting an eye, their methods are clean and neat, and they are even crisper than mercenaries. As allies, they are both loved and feared.

That afternoon, Kelsey went to Liting's station, which was covered with mud and rocks. After the meeting, the entire Eastern Front was mobilized. The war officially swept the entire Kazdaele, and Liting also made adjustments. Kyle I hope I couldn't see Chen Mo.

She was not suspicious at first, but as the war progressed and she saw Hogg appearing in Rhode Island and the Administration Building several times, she gradually became suspicious.

The report of Leaving Court is as usual. They are on the front line and are famous. However, there is less and less news about the leaders of Leaving Court. Even Ines and Hedley, who can be seen occasionally, are becoming more and more famous. People are too shrewd to say anything, but W, who hangs around Theresia all day long, has become the best target for tricks.

The doctor knew that W had let the matter slip. It was normal for this guy to be undisciplined and would cause trouble. Even Theresa had become suspicious recently. He really needed a suitable ally.

"So where is he now? Everyone in the court is secretive about it. I met that Sakaz. Where did you find the substitute?"

Kelsey knew very well that Chen Mo did not have the characteristics of Sakaz. Although you sometimes saw him wearing a pair of horns, they were fakes. When he first started operating in Kazdale, he found them from nowhere for convenience. A pair of Sakaz horns.

"I don't know where he got the people from, but he is in Victoria now. At this time, he is probably in Londinium."

The doctor said calmly that even though Kelsey came to the door angrily, he didn't panic at all.

"Londinium..." Kelsey chewed on this not-so-unfamiliar word. "It's about Tracy and Victoria. What do you want him to do alone? Shouldn't you..."

"I gave him a picture of Aslan." The doctor said: "We have confirmed that Tracy and Victoria colluded. He can drag this war on with Victoria's support, but we can't. We can't. The longer the situation lasts, the more unfavorable the situation becomes for us. The Tower of Babel's finances cannot support the protracted war. After the enthusiasm has passed, those lords who cannot see the benefits will definitely shrink their claws in order to preserve their strength, or even be shaken by it."

"Those cowards and fence-sitters..." Kelsey's eyes were gloomy. Of course, she understood that the doctor's view was undoubtedly correct: "But what can he do when he goes to Victoria? Do you think he can single-handedly destroy that bird?" Aslan brought to Kazdaele.”

“Of course it’s best if you can do it.”

"Will the Aslans allow it?"

"Of course not." The doctor replied matter-of-factly. In fact, he had no connection with the Aslans. "But they could see that once Tresis won the war, Victoria would gain something, their political opponents would gain a group of battle-hardened Sarkazi warriors, and the balance the Unicorns were trying to maintain would tip. Xie, they are not a group of idiots after all. Couldn't they not see Tracy's ambition? He hid it very well, but Aslan and the others did not stand with him after all. Any performance of his would cause Aslan's greatest suspicion."

"Then [~

"Yes. They will think so." The doctor said: "But they also need allies, at least they need Tracys to be dragged in Kazdaele. Rather, it is better to say that the Sarkazis will lose both sides in the fight, which is what they are most happy to see. But the fact is that we are at a disadvantage. No matter from any aspect, our disadvantage will only get bigger and bigger. We have to seek some help outside the situation, even if it is to hold back Trasisi's forces in Victoria from attacking us. Every word is a good thing.”

"The premise is that he can bring that Aslan back." Kelsey said. "he can?"

"I'm not sure, but he is most likely to do it. I have contacted Longmen, and he still has some old friends in Colombia. It's just that these are not enough, but Babel's spies in Londinium have got Tracys The evidence of contact with some forces in Victoria only needs an opportunity, and Aslan and the others can clearly see the pros and cons." The doctor tapped his knuckles lightly: "The throne of Londinium has been high for too long, Aslan and Draco The fight is fierce, both sides are eyeing that position, the unicorns have already become obstacles, and Sakaz has become the best bargaining chip at both ends of the scale."

The doctor still looked so calm. Even in Kelsey's eyes, this man was planning a throne dispute in an empire, and even involved the lives and deaths of countless people. He didn't seem to care about this. The chess players just played chess and never cared about the chess pieces. life and death.

"How could he be willing to go there like this? What's the difference between this and dying?" Kelsey asked coldly.

She had warned her a long time ago. Kelsey felt extremely angry but helpless. She was so angry that she forgot to tie a chain around the guy's neck.

"So I told him that I had already contacted the Aslans. None of the three teams I sent secretly to Victoria were spared. Taking this opportunity, the Tower of Babel uncovered several important secret thorns lurking inside."

"you?!"

Kelsey stared at the doctor's figure behind the desk with surprise and hidden fear.

The Doctor never missed an opportunity, any opportunity he could take advantage of.

If life is a transaction, then he is undoubtedly a successful but prodigal businessman.

"Yes, I deceived him, and Tracys will also pay attention to Victoria because of this. His actions will make Aslan understand the situation." The doctor said: "But he should be able to guess it, he can, after all, I I have told him a long time ago that you don’t trust me, but he is different from you, and he and I don’t need to trust.”

"If he can successfully bring that Aslan back, we will have the basis to win this war. Of course, it doesn't matter even if he fails, the Aslans will notice the movements of Tracys and Victoria , if they were not stupid, they would take action."

"It's very calculating, so whether he can or not, you won't get nothing in the end."

Kelsey's eyes were cold.

"Being the best will have greater advantages for both the Tower of Babel and himself." The doctor said: "Of course I hope he can, and I also hope he can live. Living will have greater value."

Only by bringing Aslan back to Kazdare alive will he truly have the bargaining chip and occupy an important position in the Tower of Babel and the East. Only in this way can he have the possibility to implement our plan.

Every step he takes will be difficult, and it is precisely because of difficulty that he can achieve something.The doctor thought to himself.

"In your eyes, human life is just value?!" Kelsey said coldly: "If he dies, Theresia's situation will only get worse."

"The result will be the same if we lose this war." The doctor replied in a low voice, as if he didn't see Kelsey's sharp gaze: "Besides, you are already prepared, aren't you? Theresia has also been aware of it for a long time."

"I don't want that day to come," Kelsey said.
