Longmen Memoirs
Page 227
It's not because of an accident that Wei Na can survive until now. It's just that before she died, there were people who were still on her side, but things like position did not change forever. Her existence was always the same from the beginning. kind of stability, but now it has become the most unstable thing.
If the moment of waiting was over and Victoria's strange situation became clear enough, she should not remain in the world.Only by eliminating the most unstable factors can Victoria truly be stabilized.
It's so sad, but true. .
According to the imperial succession law passed down by Victoria to this day, Aslan is not Victoria's only successor to the throne, so she is not the only king, and similarly, she is not the only orthodox one.
Maybe it's the only remaining dignity that makes those people unwilling to start a war through formal channels, or maybe it's just the favor left over from Aslan's reign. In short, this is the only good news at the moment.
Changes at the top often do not involve civilians. Just like in the past in Longmen, the change of power in Longmen will not affect the ordinary people below.
But this kind of dignity and majesty has a time limit, and it will disappear as the situation continues to develop. Wei Na seems not to be aware of this, or perhaps, she is aware of it, but chooses to be indifferent.
But she knew it very well.
The time has come.
This time, she would no longer have to rely on the remnants of the old nobility and Rhode Island. Maybe it was no different. She would still run around like a wild dog in embarrassment, but she had more choices.
A choice that would allow her to choose indifference.
As she said, at least for this period of time, she gave everything to Chen Mo, even her life.
Chapter 64 Residue at the bottom of the cup
Probably a few days after that incident, Chen Mo found Morgan.
Morgan, as the little woman sitting in front of the sofa calls herself, puts down the black tea in her hand. It can be seen that she wants to act mature and ladylike, but unfortunately she does not seem to have that talent.
This kind of thing that has been decided since birth will not give people a different feeling because of her deliberate changes. Especially the slightly dark skin makes her miss the word elegance. No wonder Indra would call her black skin. In fact, she is not black. It just looks too different compared to the white skin unique to the natives.
"Morgan?"
"It's a code name."
Chen Mo picked up the coffee placed in front of the tea table. This was their first formal conversation after coming to the Glasgow Gang, and Morgan didn't seem surprised by Chen Mo's visit.
Rather than saying that, it is better to say that she seems to be waiting for the day when Chen Mo comes to find her. The brain trust of the Glasgow Gang has long known that Chen Mo will come to her.
"It's similar to your name, Mr. Guinevere." She said calmly: "I have forgotten my original name. When I was alive, I was called Morgan. I chose this name myself. Isn't it good?"
"While alive?"
"Names have no meaning after death, right?" She looked at Chen Mo and spoke softly, but her words were very much like Sakaz's attitude towards life and death.
"A very special statement."
"But you certainly won't be unfamiliar."
Chen Mo's expression fell into her eyes, and her smile became even more intriguing.
Chen Mo took a sip lightly, and a bitter and strange taste bloomed on the tip of her tongue. She was a little uncomfortable with it, and she saw something strange about Chen Mo.
"A bit bitter? Maybe I forgot to add sugar."
Even though he said this, the smile on his lips was not apologetic at all.
"It doesn't matter." Chen Mo put down the tea cup.
"Oh?"
She looked at Chen Mo curiously. "You look very young. Are you just young in appearance but actually very old?"
"I always thought that [#$
Morgan's expression stiffened for a moment, but it was quickly covered up by a smile, and he lightly covered the corners of his mouth.
"I really like to joke."
"This is no joke." Chen Mo's eyes fell on the petite body, lowered slightly, and placed it on the black tea in front of the table: "Only children like sweets. Even if it is a slightly sweet black tea, they will also like to add a lot of it. Sugar cube.”
Chen Mo really doesn't like talking to smart people, especially people smarter than me. That would make him feel quite troublesome, especially difficult women.
"It is very rude to say such words in front of a lady."
Morgan narrowed his eyes slightly.
"The premise is that this lady will not be chased all the time... I think you have a big misunderstanding of the word "discourteous".
The corners of Morgan's eyes twitched. Chen Mo could think of the anger she was holding in her heart now. If she could, she wouldn't mind letting Chen Mo understand how to write the word "discourteous", but only if she could beat Chen Mo.
Now Chen Mo can probably understand why Indra likes to challenge the guy in front of him so much. It is not only because of her death-seeking character, but more probably because he feels pleasure looking at her aggrieved but helpless look.
"Aha..." She laughed dryly, covering up her embarrassment: "That's an interesting statement."
"It's very interesting." Chen Mo retracted his gaze: "When I was a child, I met children who liked to play pranks. They often liked to do meaningless things, such as stealing one of my slippers, hiding a lot of peppers under my food, and stealing food from behind. It might be funny to blindfold me and push the vegetables I don’t like onto my plate. After all, she had a childlike innocence at that time, and I didn’t hate it.”
Chen Mo said, then paused: "But this is the first time I've encountered such a thing, putting pepper in coffee. Well, to be honest...it tastes weird."
Morgan was stunned for a moment and quickly made a puzzled expression.
"...I don't seem to understand what you are saying."
"Then I will say something that Miss Morgan can understand." Chen Mo looked directly at the small woman sitting opposite. "You're not surprised that I'm coming?"
"No, actually I was surprised." Morgan said, "I thought you would come here earlier."
Morgan has been one of the leaders of the Glasgow Gang since its inception. Unlike Indra of the martial arts faction, she is the real decision-maker of this organization. Rather than saying that Vina is the leader of the entire Glasgow Gang, But the only person who truly understands this place is the person in front of me.
Although the relationship between Indra and her has never been easy to deal with, if one day a certain decision she makes will involve the life and death of Indra and the entire Glasgow gang, then Indra will not hesitate at all.
This is a kind of trust, an unimaginable bond.Those two little devils who crawled around in the slums and vowed to survive, who would have thought that they would actually survive.
She said this, but after Chen Mo knocked on the door of this dormitory and Morgan opened the door, Chen Mo did not see the slightest surprise on her face.
"It's not too late." Chen Mo said.
"Is it because of what Vina said to you?"
"That's not entirely the reason, but she did pose a problem for me."
"So...you came to me for enlightenment? Mr. Guinevere, although I am very smart, I have no experience in this area."
Morgan's petite body leaned back a little, with a trace of regret on his face, and he asked knowingly.
"I'm not interested in children."
"So what are you here for? You're not here to have afternoon tea with me, are you?"
"Personally, I don't like afternoon tea, but I do know a person like this who can be introduced to you briefly. I think you guys should be able to talk about it." Chen Mo said, "But the premise is that we can leave here."
"Is this the problem that Wei Na gave you?" Morgan asked, the smile on his lips gradually disappeared, he frowned slightly and became serious.
"It's really a bit overwhelming," she said.He was a little surprised again, "I sympathize with your experience, but since it was Wei Na who requested it, I won't say anything more, but I can give you a suggestion."
"Appreciate further details?"
"It's very simple, as long as you leave here now." She pointed out the window with her finger: "None of this has anything to do with you anymore. Isn't it very relaxing?"
"It's very relaxing."
Morgan smiled and took back his fingers and put them in front of him: "What do you think?"
"I will think about it."
"Just thinking about it?" Morgan asked: "So Mr. Guinevere, in exchange, can you please tell Wei Na why she trusts you so much? This honor makes me a little envious."
"Are you serious?"
"You know, she can't say this to just anyone."
"So you are reminding me now, or..." Chen Mo paused: "Warning."
"How could it be? No matter what, you are our companion now. I think you have known Wei Na's identity for a long time, so you should also understand what the Glasgow Gang is facing now. All this has nothing to do with you. "
"Although Wei Na seems to be careless about everything, you are wrong if you think that is her. She knows what will happen better than anyone else. Even in this situation, she feels that she can trust you. In fact, I don't I don’t want to know your purpose, and I don’t care about your origins, but I am different from Indra’s stupid and heartless person, so I really want to know why Veena thinks you can do it.”
As she spoke, her eyes stared at Chen Mo, as if she wanted to see clearly what kind of person I was, and she seemed to want to find something in Chen Mo.
The only smart guy in the Glasgow gang.
The rain was pouring outside the window, the mist was swaying on the river not far away, and the wind was mixed with raindrops, beating on the closed windows. The city seemed to have entered a rainy season.
"If I'm not wrong, you should have already made plans even without me. The situation in Londinium can be expected to become increasingly tense. You and Vina are deeply involved, and sooner or later you will have to make a decision."
"But at least it's not yet the time you said."
Morgan rarely showed that funny expression again, but seemed much quieter, and smiled when he looked at Chen Mo.
"Compared to waiting until then, isn't there a good choice in front of us?" Chen Mo asked, and in the sound of rain he said slowly: "Kazdale needs Vina, and Vina also needs more power to intervene from here. They escaped from a storm, and Londinium had plans in Kazdaele earlier than Vina."
"So you represent Kazdaele?"
"Then who do you represent? Miss Morgan, whose orders are you following, and whose plan is the Glasgow Gang?" Chen Mo asked.
"But you don't seem like a conspirator. In other words, you and Indra seem to get along better."
Morgan lowered his eyes. "Mr. Guinevere, if you don't want to answer, there's no need to change the subject like this. I'm not the kind of person who doesn't give in."
"If I have to find a reason, I think it's because someone suddenly came up with a name for me and called me... Guinevere."
"This excuse is a bit blunt. You don't seem like such a person?"
"You also said that it just seems like that. In other words, in fact, I have always been such a person. I foolishly spent my whole life for a trivial thing."
Morgan fell silent and put down his teacup.
After a long time, her voice was heard amidst the sound of rain outside the window.
"What do I have to do in your plan?"
"Some trivial things." Chen Mo smiled: "Only you and I know about this matter at the moment."
"Including Vina?"
"Yes."
"I'm a little bit interested in your plan." Morgan's eyes were filled with curiosity, staring at the tea stems floating in the black tea in front of Morgan's table.
Chen Mo said: "...It's just cleaning up the residue at the bottom of the cup."
The rain had stopped when we left Morgan's room.
Chen Mo had a friendly discussion with her. It was said to be a discussion, but in fact it was just Morgan's supplement to some imperfections in the hasty plan.
No one knows the composition of the Glasgow Gang and every member in it better than her, and no one can help Chen Mo perfect this plan in a short period of time.
Morgan is the best choice.
"One last thing to remind you, Mr. Gurney, please don't get too involved with Vina unnecessarily. It will not be a good thing for you or Vina. You should understand what I mean."
She sent Chen Mo out of the room with a smile, and said this kind reminder, but it was more like a warning.
"learn by heart."
Chapter 65 Small wishes
In fact, in Chen Mo's original plan, there was no place for the Glasgow Gang, including everyone who was hanging around in the lower town of Londinium, and they were not included in his consideration from the beginning.
Perhaps it is cruel to say this, but it is a fact. For Chen Mo, as long as Wei Na can live, nothing else matters.
Although Chen Mo agreed to the old count, promises are the most unreliable. Once Vina leaves Londinium, they will be beyond their reach.
In fact, Wei Na's situation is not that ideal, so they are willing to take corresponding risks.
He could joke with Indra, talk happily with every member of the Glasgow Gang, attend their funerals as one of them, and express his sincere condolences.
This is not false, but comes from his heart. Chen Mo hopes that he can do this, and he does so.
Sitting with them, bragging and chatting with them, fighting side by side with them, and talking about some trivial and interesting things. There was no hatred between Chen Mo and them. As it seemed in fact, they regarded Chen Mo as one of them. Also willing to consider trying to trust him.
But Chen Mo understood that he was not one of them. If the day came to choose, he would definitely abandon them without hesitation. In fact, in Chen Mo's original plan, they were the victims.
Maybe even if some of them really knew the truth, they wouldn't resent Chen Mo. Just like Indra, she didn't ask Chen Mo for anything, and she also had no demands.
Chen Mo could still clearly remember her drunken nonsense, and couldn't tell how much was true or false. She told herself that she didn't mind leaving this little life in her hands.
Chen Mo was a little surprised at that time, but the accident did not change his original plan. He just felt a little pity, but this pity was not enough for Chen Mo to risk his life and bear greater risks and losses.
