Longmen Memoirs

"If you say no, then there won't be. Who knows." Shi Huaiya looked away. "But what I just said is the truth. You can think about it carefully. You must know that there are many people in Longmen who have been thinking about opening up trade routes to the mainland of Dayan. Compared with these, they are willing to give up a huge price."

"So you came here specially to preach to me."

"It also reminds you that if you mess up tonight, not only will you be able to do what you do in the future, but you will not be able to stay in your current position for long."

Shi Huaiya stood up, raised his hands and stretched out against the afternoon dusk.

Chen looked at her back.

"Then I have to congratulate you in advance. It seems that your time to take over as the leader of the inspection team is just around the corner."

Shi Huaiya turned around and smiled.

"I'm borrowing your good words, but if you weren't at the Guards Bureau that day, maybe I would really [#|

"What do you miss about me?"

"Ha, of course I miss not being able to see you look depressed after being demoted."

Therefore, Chen didn't like Shi Huaiya, who she thought she was, at all. She probably knew that she would definitely not do what she suggested, so she deliberately came to tell her such a story.

Chapter 10 Easier done than said

When night falls quietly, cars and horses are already flowing outside the banquet mansion, and the lights are bright.

The well-dressed Longmen upper-class gentlemen led the ladies in gorgeous dresses and carefully dressed up slowly gathered in the venue of this mansion that had spent a lot of money and effort on sculpting.

Walking through the courtyard paved with long red carpets, the lights in the venue hall are gorgeous and bright. The mansion style designed by a well-known architect combines the elegance of Yan and the solemn style of Victoria, which is unique.

On the polished marble floor, the elegant and melodious tunes of Longmen's famous symphony orchestra flowed throughout the hall in the bright light of six crystal lights.

The weather was slightly cool at night, so the ladies who entered the hall took off their warm coats and handed them to the waiter.

The banquet has not officially started yet, but everyone who should be present has already arrived.

Some of the police officers from the inspection team mingled with the waiters, and some were scattered in the front and rear courtyards and outside the venue. Xingxiong was responsible for the outside of the venue. After all, she was not very good at dealing with upper-class people like Longmen, so the venue was naturally left to Shi. Huaiya, so the latter put on a Victorian-style sleeveless long purple dress, embellished with blue silver threads. Her temperament was elegant and demure, revealing her attractive round shoulders, and her bright tassel crystal earrings followed her footsteps lightly. The shaking reflected the crystal color, and the silver necklace made her delicate collarbone even more visible. The high heels made Ms. Shihuai Ya's figure even taller and more attractive.

She changed her usual impression in the Guard Bureau and tied up her long blond hair. Only in this situation can the police officers of the inspection team truly feel that Miss Shihuaiya is indeed the eldest lady of the Shihuaiya family, not to mention She walked through the crowded venue with ease, and her leisurely and contented appearance still made most police officers sigh. Sure enough, Miss Shi Huaiya is really approachable.

Even among a group of well-dressed ladies, her elegant and poetic temperament still stands out and attracts attention.

After all, if she doesn't quarrel with Superintendent Chen, Shi Huaiya still has some aristocratic temperament and a young lady's temper. Once she gets into a fight with Superintendent Chen, the scene will be difficult for everyone in the Guards Bureau to comment on.

She is the eldest lady of the Shihuaiya family, and is familiar with these occasions. She is also quite famous among the upper class society in Longmen. It is easier for her to integrate into the venue than to eat and drink.

She has been influenced by her family upbringing since she was a child. Who else would take on this role in the entire Longmen Guards Bureau? Miss Shi Huaiya.

Even Chen had to admit that Shi Huaiya was indeed very charming at this moment. Her confident appearance, faint smile at the corner of her mouth, and elegant but not alienating aristocratic temperament were something that Chen would have a hard time learning in her life. Arrived.

Miss Chen has never had any talent in this area. Although she has participated in several similar banquets, she is far from being as obedient as Shi Huaiya.

Not everyone in the Guards Bureau has a good impression of Superintendent Shihuaiya, but human beings, although sometimes they do like to fantasize, most people can usually distinguish reality, like Miss Shihuaiya. As a person, her upbringing and family have already determined that it is difficult for ordinary people to have a relationship beyond friendship with her. After all, in terms of cognition in this area, it is difficult for the two to have a common language, and how can they truly grow together? They live together for a long time, and even though Miss Shihuaiya is easy to get in touch with, Miss Shihuaiya's threshold for choosing a mate has always been high.

In other words, how do you fall in love when you have different views? Miss Shi Huaiya's background and excellence are enough to make many people feel ashamed and stop moving forward.

Just because of the name of the Shihuaiya family, anyone with a little bit of self-awareness knows that they should be more realistic. There are always fantasies about the eldest lady who is ignorant of the world and falls in love with a poor scholar. But when it comes to the extreme situation of Miss Shihuaiya, It is really unlikely to happen to someone who is independent and independent.

Compared with the easy-to-reach Shi Huaiya, Miss Chen, who seems to be less easy-to-reach, is not so particular. However, Miss Chen got married very early. At this point, most police officers in the Guards Bureau have no chance. , although Superintendent Chen has never mentioned her husband, but after all, no one has ever dared to ask, except Xingxiong.

Miss Chen and Shi Huaiya are different. If Shi Huaiya is the kind of young lady who makes everyone feel ashamed, then Superintendent Chen, who also has an extraordinary family background, has never considered this issue before she is married. , just that cold face and harsh style are enough to make many people cringe.

Xing Xiong is the know-it-all in the Longmen Guard Bureau. Inspector Xing Xiong knows more or less everything.

Miss Chen is sometimes very charming, but she has the kind of heroic and decisive charm. After all, no one wants to find a wife who is more powerful than themselves, let alone whether they can find one, just Miss Chen's charming aura, Most people are better off being more ordinary.

Chen, who was in charge of command and monitoring, had to remind Shi Huaiya again over the radio that her mission was to ensure the safety of the venue and that she was not here to attend the banquet. However, it seemed that Shi Huaiya was chatting with acquaintances, which made people very suspicious. Did she remember that her main role was to ensure the safety of the venue, not to enjoy the party?

From protector to protector.

Shi Huaiya just glanced at the camera position and raised her eyebrows.

"Aren't I just ensuring the safety of the venue? If you think I can't do it, try it yourself?"

"Hey, barbecued pork cat."

After all, everyone in the Guards Bureau knew that Superintendent Chen didn't like this kind of situation, and because of the policies she had implemented before, she never had a good reputation among this group of people.

Chen doesn't want to deal with this group of so-called high-class people. It's not that she doesn't know how to do it, but she just doesn't want to. For her, it's just a waste of time.

At this time, people have to sigh. The three leaders of the inspection team of the Longmen Guards Bureau. Inspector Xingxiong started in the market and is familiar with the gangs and lower-level people in Longmen. , is proficient in upper class society and high-level communication, while Chen is vigorous and resolute and has no mercy.

It is precisely because of these three people that the inspection team is able to support the current situation in Longmen. Without anyone else, the inspection team cannot operate as flexibly as it does now.

Xing Xiong and Shi Huaiya made up for Chen's shortcomings. Whether there was Wei Yanwu's instruction or not was clear to anyone with a discerning eye, so Jiucai said that Wei Yanwu regarded Chen as a treasure.

Although there has never been any explicit support or affirmation, Chen Neng has reached his current position on his own. Regardless of whether he takes advantage of others or not, he cannot do without Wei Yanwu's help.

Most people in Longmen say that behind Chen is the Governor of Longmen He Jiu, which is why she is able to flourish in the Guards Bureau and the Inspectorate. This is actually not wrong.

"Xingxiong, how are you doing there?"

"everything is normal."

"Stay in contact and all units are at increased attention."

"Old Chen, the motorcade is coming."

The motorcade stopped at the entrance of the banquet venue. Xingxiong and Shi Huaiya met Gao Yi again. This time, he changed his clothes and wore a well-made suit. Although it was not custom-made, it could be seen that it was expensive.

"General Gao, good evening."

"Good evening, Miss Xingxiong, Miss Shihuaiya."

In the past three days, the three of them have become familiar and can barely be called friends. Gao Yi has also somewhat understood the way of communication among Longmen people. Although the girl has this problem, he still hasn't corrected it.

"General Gao is the only one here?" Shi Huaiya asked subconsciously as she looked at the vehicle that Gao Yi left after getting off the car.

Gao Yi smiled.

"Your Highness feels unwell and is not suitable for traveling. I have ordered you to attend on your behalf. I have already known that you have met with Duke Wei beforehand, but your Highness still hopes that I will apologize to everyone in Longmen in person on his behalf."

Gao Yi said it sincerely, but neither Shi Huaiya nor Xing Xiong believed it.

It was a bit too coincidental that he was fine in the morning and got sick when he said he was sick in the afternoon. However, as the local government of Longmen, they had no business and should not pursue questions and provoke.

After all, people had said that he was feeling unwell, so what else could he do, otherwise he would go to the official residence to see with his own eyes whether he was really sick.

Shi Huaiya and Xing Xiong looked at each other.

"So that's it. Your Highness is fine, right?" Shi Huaiya asked.

"The doctor has already made a diagnosis. It should be fine after just one day of treatment."

"That's good. In that case, let me take General Gao in." Shi Huaiya turned sideways and said, "Please follow me."

"Excuse me, I'm here for the first time. If there is anything that is not in line with Longmen's etiquette, please ask Miss Shi Huaiya to point it out."

"You are too modest."

Xingxiong watched Shi Huaiya and Gao Yi walk into the banquet venue.

"You heard me, Lao Chen."

"heard it."

"What do you think is the problem?"

"what is the problem."

"Do you believe these words?"

"Don't believe it." Chen answered quickly in the communication. She was quietly relieved, but also a little disappointed, "But believe it or not, in short, it is a good thing for us not to come, which means that today's banquet It might be over quicker and we’ll have less pressure than before.”

"What do you think the sick Highness will be doing at this time?" Xingxiong asked suddenly.

"Why do you ask about this?"

"I'm just curious. Almost half of the people in the entire venue came because of that guy, and now he actually let everyone go. I think those people inside must be in a very subtle mood now."

"Whatever, I'm in a good mood now anyway." Chen's voice was a little brisk. It was because of some people in the venue that the things she had been pushing for had not made any progress until now.

"But don't you think it's strange, Lao Chen, since he let everyone go, there are two possibilities, either he did it deliberately, but there is no reason, what can be more important than the importance Longmen attaches to this banquet now? Gao, either, he has something more important to do that we don’t know about, and it seems to him to be far more important than this banquet.”

"[<%

"Aren't you curious? Missy must have thought of this too."

"If you say so..." Chen's voice fell silent briefly: "Since Chief Wei has not moved, it means that this matter is within the scope of Longmen's permission. Although I have never believed him, but regarding the safety of Longmen In this matter, I have to admit that his mastery of Longmen is far deeper than I thought."

"Missy, how are you doing over there now?" Xing Xiong asked again.

Shi Huaiya's voice sounded after a few seconds.

"It's wonderful." There was a little rare frivolity in her voice: "This is the first time I see the same expression on so many familiar faces. Tsk, you really should come and take a look."

"I'm sure a lot of people are going to be disappointed tonight. I don't have to think about what they have in mind. But to be honest, even I didn't expect it to turn into this situation."

Wei Mansion, Longmen Shangcheng District

Passing through the carefully decorated courtyard, he saw the Dongguo woman waiting for him in front of the Wei Mansion. She seemed to know that he would come, so she waited at the door.

She held the silver-haired little girl's hand. The little girl looked at him with curious eyes. She didn't feel any uneasiness because of the strangeness. She was quickly attracted by the beautiful patterns on the python clothes. They didn't look like mother and daughter. In fact, It is true that they are not mother and daughter.

Wen Yue.

She was not at the banquet, but stayed at Wei Mansion, just like he who was supposed to be at the banquet, now appeared here.

"Mrs. Wenyue."

"What did you call me?" Wen Yue asked with a gentle voice: "Oh, I won't embarrass you anymore. Yan Wu told me in advance that you would come over. Is that okay? I would rather not attend such an important occasion and come here all the way. If it is known, Yeah, I will inevitably think you are arrogant."

"It doesn't matter to me what the people of Longmen think, nor does their opinion matter what I want to do." He said.

"At first I heard that you had gone back, and I was very uneasy. I thought of Hui Jie. I watched her grow up. She was only a little older at that time, but now she has a family and a mother of one child."

She said softly, looking at him, her eyes couldn't help but fall on the corners of his head, the long silver hair and the black python clothes on his body. She had known that there would be such a day, maybe God is like this, and he can't see others. A little bit is good.

"I know I don't blame you. Whether it's you, Xiaota and Hui Jie, even if you are the blame, it's not my turn to say this. It's just that this world is so unfair to you children, and it's also unfair to Hui Jie and Xiaota. It’s so unfair.”

"..."

"The world is never fair, Aunt Wenyue." He shook his head: "When a person wants to do something, the more things he wants to do, the more difficult it will be. Once the number of difficult things increases, it will naturally become more difficult. I’ll take something away.”

Wenyue sighed, and Youyou said, "But you shouldn't be the one to do this."

"If it's not me, who should it be?" he asked, and added: "I know Wei Yanwu's considerations. He has a Dragon Gate City to worry about. Without this Dragon Gate city, not only him, but also Hui Jie and Xiao Mo will have to worry about it." Where to go, but I’m different, I don’t have as many worries as him, and that’s all I can do, even if I run away and pretend to be confused, I can avoid it for a while.”

"But Hui Jie... So Xiaota really won't come back? She has really become..." She paused, then said those three words slowly and sentimentally with difficulty.

"Infected."

Chapter 11 You are going to be beaten, Chen Heigou

Wen Yue asked.

He calmed down and looked at the demure Dongguo woman, with such visible sadness on her face.

"If she comes back, how will Longmen treat her?" he asked. "How will Wei Yanwu treat her? For herself, how will she get along with this city that doesn't love her."

Wen Yue opened her mouth, but she didn't answer.

"So, just pretend not to know. This will be good for her, Wei Yanwu, and this Dragon Gate. In this way, no one will have to worry about this issue."

He said, his eyes falling on the little girl who was holding Wenyue's hand and hiding behind her, looking at him curiously.

His eyes softened.

The last time I saw her, she was not that old. In the blink of an eye, she was almost as tall as Wen Yue's waist. At that time, she could only bab and could not walk.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. I will go back to [*# this time.

"Does Hui Jie know?"

"I can't hide it from her for long."

"When are you going to tell her?"

"When the time is right, I haven't figured out how to explain it to her. Moreover, the turmoil between Ursus and Yan Kingdom this time is more intense than before. There are some things that I need to prepare for in advance."

"Is there no way around it?"
