Longmen Memoirs

"How did you know?"

"Wei Yanwu also knows, otherwise how could he allow the Victorians to choose Longmen as the battlefield."

"I thought it was strange at the time. He didn't even say a word when such a big thing happened. It turned out to be like this." Chen seemed to have figured out something.

"...The action team?"

"The fox doesn't know about this, and she doesn't know about the plan between Wei Yanwu and I. He sent the action team out probably because he wanted to take this opportunity to tell other people in Longmen that the Guards Bureau still has a powerful force in their hands that has never been weaker than Given the strength of the inspection team, I think he probably already wants to rectify the Guards Bureau, but this has nothing to do with me." Chen Mo said, "You know the situation of the Guards Bureau better than I do."

Chen frowned, she seemed to have thought of something.

"What I have seen over the years is that the internal situation of the Guards Bureau is indeed a bit unbearable. Although it is enough to deal with daily cases in Longmen, it is slow to respond to emergencies and has insufficient capabilities. There is only one inspection team. They A lot of power has been given to the inspection team, but the actions of the inspection team are still inexplicably hijacked by all parties and their hands are tied."

There is no way around this. The operation of a huge organization will sooner or later cause disputes due to the intervention of various forces, old and new factions and ideas.

You can never expect everyone in it to stand together wholeheartedly, not to mention that Longmen is an extremely complex city that includes people and investors from all over the place.

Chen spoke very restrainedly, but Chen Mo could still see her boredom with these disputes and troubles, as well as her dissatisfaction when she thought about how she handled these disputes and the harsh criticism and difficulties she encountered from her superiors in the past.

Wei Yanwu is determined to rectify the inspection team, but what he can do now is very limited. He can't just wave his hand and say what he says. Even he has to consider the reaction of the forces gathered together for their own interests.

Rights are balances and constraints, rather than being able to follow one's words and do whatever one wants.

Otherwise, those people would make some small moves in private, which, although not fatal, would be enough to make people anxious and sick. Longmen is a city that flaunts freedom. This is the foundation on which Longmen has become what it is today. Wei Yanwu would not have done anything to destroy the Great Wall. Drama.

"He really has a good plan, but is it that easy?" Chen couldn't help but ask. Once Longmen was involved, even she herself didn't notice that she would look so concerned.

"You should ask Wei Yanwu about this, not me."

Chen was stunned.

"I know... I just don't think it's that easy. The Guards Bureau has accumulated and left behind too many problems over the years, and it's impossible to simply sort them out."

Chen shook his head, as if he finally felt that this topic was meaningless to talk about now: "Don't talk about this."

Any organization, be it as large as a dynasty or as small as a company, will inevitably have problems of one kind or another over time. It is hard to explain why people are so sophisticated and stick to old rules.

"What do you mean when you say that the remnants of Kazdel remain in Ursus? What does this have to do with Dragon Gate?"

Chen is not stupid. Being able to reach the position of leader of the inspection team is not only due to his relationship with Wei Yanwu, but also due to Chen's achievements and abilities accumulated from the cases he has handled and solved over the years.

Her sense of smell was so keen that Chen Mo had to be careful if he wanted to do anything without telling her.

"Of course it has something to do with Longmen."

Chen Mo thought that if he were not restricted to the city of Longmen, Chen would know more than he does now.

“The emperor and parliament of Ursus have been trying to implement reforms in the country, but the opposition has never stopped. As the old military factions and the nobles who were afraid of being deprived of benefits by the emperor’s reforms, they spared no effort to obstruct his plan. "

Chen Mo didn't notice that Chen looked at me more and more strangely.

"I've heard some of this."

"The military has put a lot of pressure on the emperor and parliament. The citizens of Ursus are still immersed in the afterglow of the conquests of the previous emperor's era. They have different ideas. The emperor's reforms may not be without the idea of ​​consolidating their own rights. , but the cake is so big, if you have more, I will have less, and no one is willing to give in."

"You don't need metaphors, I understand." Chen frowned and glanced at Chen Mo.

"Oh." Chen Mo nodded: "The war in the Northern Territory of the Yan Kingdom two years ago allowed the emperor and the parliament to see an opportunity. The military, which had always been in power, ran into trouble in the Northern Territory. This led to the military power factions losing their battle with the Emperor for the first time. The battle at Castle St. Ursus has left Ursus with no time to consider the development of the Integration Movement."

In fact, Chen's eyes were very calm, it was just Chen Mo thinking so in his heart.

"I'm not very clear about this." Chen said. She raised her eyebrows and didn't know what she was thinking of: "You must be very proud of yourself now."

Chen's mouth was full of sarcasm.

"A little bit. To be honest, I didn't know I had done such a powerful thing."

"Really? Didn't you do these stupid things because you knew this would happen?"

Chen Mo's words left Chen Mo speechless.

Chen Mo really wanted to tell her that these were suggestions given by Kazdaele's palace council. They were conspiracies analyzed by a man wearing a mask who had been thinking hard in the room for a long time.

Although he was the operator, he was not the one who planned it.

"You mean that now that the battle between Emperor Ursus and the military faction has come to an end, they have set their sights on the integration movement." Chen took a gentle breath.

"Not only the integration movement, Longmen is also in their plan. The Sakaz people who fled to Ursus are instigating the military and old nobles of Ursus, that is, the Drac you have seen, and they sneak into Longmen. , using Drac's identity to disguise themselves as an integration movement. Once the Dragon Gate begins to change, the Usas army disguised as the Integration Movement will take the opportunity to attack the Dragon Gate, and then Ursus will take over the city under the banner of the Integration Movement. City." Chen Mo said: "I think they probably secretly contacted some people and forces in Longmen. There are not many Ursus people in Longmen. Wei Yanwu clearly knew that the Guards Bureau could not face this situation, so he asked The action team stands up and warns those with evil intentions."

"That's why Tallulah came to Longmen."

Chen couldn't help showing a look of surprise on her face. As the leader of the inspection team, she didn't even know what was going on at Longmen.

This is actually normal. In the entire Longmen, the only people who knew about it were Wei Yanwu and Wen Yue. Although Chen was the superintendent, she was just the superintendent after all. Even if she knew, she couldn't do anything.

"She has to come to Longmen. Everything that happens here in Longmen will be pushed to the integration movement because of the face similar to hers. If she doesn't come, once the Ursus people's plan succeeds, the integration movement will lose the initiative. Quan He has always promoted the legitimacy that they have attacked a neutral city without any reason. They will be internationally defined as thugs and terrorists. The Ursus people can take advantage of the situation to clean them out. Yan Guo may also lose it because of the loss. Longmen had a dispute with Ursus."

"It's simply despicable!" Chen gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice.

"Fortunately, the struggle for rights and rights has always shown no mercy or courtesy."

"You appear here, does that mean that the Ursus army outside Longmen has been stopped?" Chen suddenly realized: "They are from the tracing team!"

Her reaction was not slow, she seemed to relax a little.

"The armies of Victoria and Kazdaele arrived here secretly using the channels of the Dragon Gate and disguised commercial orders. They have been waiting for the movements of the Ursus people. There was a small-scale contact between the two sides before I came over. The Ursus people soon Will react."

The plan has changed slightly. Thanks to Drake's surrender and frankness, the coalition forces do not need to pursue the Ursus people for the sake of Tracy's ambitions. Their goal is to temporarily hold the dragon gate. Tracy Most people would not have expected that he would face the wrath of the military powers who had returned without success, and that the plans of the emperor and parliament to implement reforms would be largely frustrated because of this. The military powers would still spare no effort to compete with the emperor. Right, the Sakaz will be pushed to the top of the wave.

Tracy's plan was perfect, but even the perfect plan could not foresee the appearance of a person who should not exist.

"When the Ursus people realize that their plan has failed, they will retreat soon." Chen Mo comforted: "Don't worry too much, their plan has failed, and the subsequent increasingly fierce conflict with the emperor will make They have no time to think about other things."

Chen didn't answer. After a long time, she said in a complicated tone.

"You can actually think of so much?!"

Chen's eyes seemed to recognize Chen Mo all over again.

The emperor and the parliament may have planned to take action at this time, but when the remaining Ursus troops discovered the emperor's actions, they would undoubtedly have sharp conflicts with him.

Although Fyodor was used to pretending to be a grandson, this time the military elders were all holding back their anger.

Werther must be struggling to clean up this mess again.

"No." Chen shook his head gently: "According to what you said, they will find a target to divert the conflicts between them. For example... the integration movement is a good breakthrough."

Chen looked at Chen Mo and raised the corners of his mouth sarcastically: "Do you think I'm as easy to deceive as before?"

Chen Mo didn't answer.

"I have been paying attention to the integration movement. Although I am not interested in political struggle, it does not mean that I don't understand anything. Tallulah will come to Longmen. She must know this better than me."

Chen Mo hesitated for several seconds.

"... You guessed it right, they will transfer the conflict to the integration movement. The integration movement left in Chicheng will become the focus of the battle between the two sides. The military hopes to realize the glory of the original conquest. The conspiracy between Chicheng and Victoria Let them spread their anger on this group of infected people, and the emperor will be indifferent, unless the Integration Movement is willing to gather under his command, but that also means that sooner or later the infected people will be used as pawns by Fyodor."

If according to the original trajectory, the infected people who did not occupy Chernobog, the shadows of the emperor and the parliament stood behind them to secretly provide them with arms. Not only that, Sakaz's mercenaries had also made it clear long ago that they had special intentions. Resis expected of them, causing them to bring chaos.

But whether it was the emperor or Victoria, in their eyes, the integration movement was nothing more than a ridiculously violent gang, a useless struggle of the infected after hysteria.

Without Rhode Island's intervention, Tallulah and her integration movement would be regarded as scapegoats by both parties.

"What are you going to do next..." Chen suddenly asked. She looked into Chen Mo's eyes, which were filled with stubbornness. "Are you going to find Tallulah?"

"I want to go to Chernobog."

Chen Mo's answer did not surprise Chen at all, but she still couldn't help but a hint of darkness flashed in her eyes.

"Am I unable to keep you?" She lowered her eyelids, and her palms tightly clasped together were pale and weak.

Chi Xiao can cut off all spells in the world, but Chi Xiao can't cut off time and fate.

Chen Mo stretched out his hands and gently held Chen's shoulders.

"Such a big thing happened in Longmen. The Yan Kingdom spies who stayed in Longmen will soon realize that I can't stay here safely all the time. I thought that maybe one day I can be by your side and Xiaomo's side. But Tallulah, she needs me. If I appear in the integration movement, Yanguo will also look at it. This is what Ursus does not want to see, and my connection with Victoria Kazdel will also be better. to deal with the upcoming events." Chen Mo whispered: "I'm not saying how important I am, I just want to tell you that it's time for me to go."

"You don't have to explain so much to me." Chen raised her hand, and her palm rested on Chen Mo's hand, "I just... if it were me, maybe I would do the same thing as you."

"Wei Yanwu told me a lot about the past." She held Chen Mo's hand tightly and raised her head: "I'm thinking, if I had known this back then, would I have done better than I do now, but I understand In the past, I have been running away from things I didn't want to face, and I chose to believe Wei Yanwu's words, thinking that I could save her, but now I don't want to run away anymore, I'm tired of running away."

Chen turned her head, failing to let me see the disappointment on her face, but I felt guilty because of this.

"...I have no reason to keep you by my side."

It seemed like a voice was saying in Chen Mo's ear: You have to leave her here alone again, you liar.

Even Chen Mo himself didn't know what was waiting for him in Qicheng.

Chen Mo naturally did not want to bring Chen and Xiao Mo there. They would be much safer than staying in Longmen in Qicheng. In fact, Chen Mo had already thought that Rhode Island would make an agreement with the Longmen Guards Bureau and let Wei Yanwu send Chen to On Rhode Island, at least, Chen should not stay and continue to participate in Longmen's reform.

But people often have many plans, but these plans never change as quickly as they come.

Chen Mo couldn't help but think of what Drake said to him on Rhodes Island. Had Tallulah ever given up on her ideals for a moment and expected Chen Mo to take her away? Although it was just a momentary daze, she did think so. .

"I haven't finished speaking yet." Chen Mo said, as if he had made a decision, looking at Chen's side face: "I hope you and Xiao Mo can leave with me this time. Xiao Mo told me that she has always wanted to meet Xiaota, she will soon be unable to say these words."

It's shameful that he used Xiao Mo as an excuse. It was probably only at this time that she could think of her little cotton-padded jacket.

Chen was startled.

She turned around, as if she didn't hear what Chen Mo was saying clearly, and looked at him in surprise.

"I originally hoped that you could go to Rhode Island, but I left the Drake there." Chen Mo said, "I know there is a high possibility that you will agree, but I forgot that I didn't consider you." I didn't ask you about your choice, and I did a lot of things without telling you. I'm very selfish, but you have never been my puppet."

"I don't know what will happen after Chernobog. It may be better or worse, but I hope you can stay with me this time. I hope you can do what you want to do." Chen Mo's finger Gently brushing the side of Chen's face, he leaned down. The crystal color on Chen's lips seemed to have a fatal temptation: "As long as you agree, I will always stand behind you."

Whether it's Wei Yanwu or Longmen, you don't have to compromise because of anyone, and you don't have to worry about anyone stopping you.

After a brief daze, Chen suddenly reached out and grabbed Chen Mo's ears.

A slight blush rose to her cheeks.

"Don't do this to me." Chen stared at Chen Mo's face with unkind eyes and tilted his head slightly, with some disgust and helplessness.

"Tsk."

Chapter 163 has passed

Longmen Outer Ring Wilderness 37 kilometers

Dawn of June 6st

birch forest

It was disguised and transformed into a temporary stronghold, and several figures in strange black armor gathered together.

"Longmen has not stopped operating yet. Inform the Sixth, Seventh and No. 12 Divisions. If they still want to proceed as planned, now is the time..."

The sudden Ursus language interrupted the voice that was about to be spoken.

"Stop."

A man in a black cloak slowly emerged from the shadows of the surrounding trees.

"Otherwise we will have to make you stop." The leader wore a mask and pressed his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist: "... Even if you do this, it will not have any effect. You are the only one who has time to stop now. Get rid of those irrational war machines of yours."

The figure in the strange armor froze for breath, and the cold eyes under the mask looked around at the shadow guards surrounding them.

"You can't stand up to Ursus's sharp blade." Someone said, scornfully: "...and, you, even the pawns who can even obey the orders of the faint king, what qualifications do you have to teach us?"

"How do you know that you are not bewitched by Cosiche and his shadows?" Shadow Guard asked calmly in Gaulish.

His words seemed to irritate the Ursans.

"Don't talk to me in that language anymore... The era of Gaul has passed!" He roared in a low voice: "The era of using their language for excessive communication has also passed! They don't even have a city. remain!"

"Cosiche, he kept pushing, he kept giving to Ursus."

"But he is already dead. We all know that he really died in the snowfield two years ago, and the last person who was so praised by Ursus died under your sword."

"Hmph, isn't your foolish king also slapped with a backhand?" the Ursus man retorted.

"So now there is no need to look forward and backward, we can help you. There are some things that only you can do for the purpose of your emperor and parliament!"

"You want to seduce us into betraying the country?" the Ursus asked with a sneer.

"Young people... In my opinion, it is treason for you to continue to act your own way. What happens next is that you can choose for yourself, but in any case you have failed. Those Sakaz people had unpredictable intentions, and the result of the matter was... It’s up to you Ursus to bear the responsibility.”

"Who told you!" Ursus asked angrily.
