Longmen Memoirs

Shadow Guard continued calmly: "Since you have done this now, you must know that the nobles started the war just to solve a problem, but war, war is worse."

"The disputes between them and the Council should not be borne by the common people of Ursus. Your nobles and lords have been bewitched by the Sakaz people. The expelled rebels are trying to cause disputes in your country. Where do you want to end it once and for all? To restore peace to Ursus?"

The emperor's sharp blade clenched his hand.

"As long as we capture Longmen..." he tried to argue. "We never counted on inferior sakaz."

"But you have failed." Shadow Guard replied calmly: "I stand in front of you, do you think we will not have any preparations? You have ended that era yourself, you know better than us. The former emperor can still suppress Ursa There are many conflicts and struggles in Sri Lanka, but the current emperor cannot do it."

"You are looking for a way to rectify Ursus. Cosiche is dead, and the military leaders and emperor he left behind leave you unsteady."

"..."

"Wei Yanwu's lackeys, how did you find us?"

The Ursans seemed unwilling to discuss this stinging issue.

"With your skills, you still have a lot to learn." Shadow Guard raised his chin.

"Are you threatening me?" The Ursus man's voice suppressed shame and anger.

"No, we just... have reached age." Shadow Guard said: "Maybe you claim to be loyal to the country... but there are some things that, no matter whether we are loyal enough in your eyes or not... we will not do it."

"What is righteousness?" the Ursus suddenly asked.

The shadow guard was silent for a moment, as if he was recalling a certain story.

"Family, country, world, people and society, there are some things that we can't do but someone can do it."

"I don't understand what the difference is."

"Of course it's different." The Shadow Guard said (in Gaulish): "Let's all take a step back. Young people, the emperor's inner guard has fresh blood. You will live longer than us. If this thing is really wrong. , you still have a chance to correct it."

The shadow guard was silent for a moment, [@

"..."

The Ursus was silent and did not answer for a long time.

Shadow Guard asked: "Who will solve it?"

"We'll go by ourselves, and your people don't have to interfere." The Ursus turned around and looked back slightly to remind: "Also, old guys... you are no longer the Forbidden Army, so mind your own business."

"It is precisely because it has been gone for a long time that I can talk about gossip now. Ursus will stir up trouble again. Live a little longer, young man."

The shadow guards did not stop the Ursus people from leaving. The Ursus people suddenly turned around and asked: "...The Integration Movement and Chernobog will become the victims of the next battle. They are too dazzling. By then, you Dragon Gate will How to do it?"

"Longmen has nothing to do with Chernobog."

"Mark your words, old man."

"We will never see you again, young man."

------

"They retreated."

16 kilometers from Rhode Island, on the edge of the gantry signal radiation area.

W stood on the damaged armored vehicle, looking at the troops disguised as infected people in the distance, slowly retreating and evacuating out of sight.

There were only a few small-scale conflicts between the two sides. It was difficult for large-scale legions to deploy without heavy weapons. The Ursans seemed to be afraid, which caused the two sides to confront each other in the wasteland for several hours.

The sky was slightly brighter, the clouds in the distance broke through a little white halo, and the retreating army kicked up a large amount of sand and dust on the wasteland.

W jumps off the chariot.

Ines is taking off her gloves.

"They will not come again." Ines stared at the commotion in the distance: "Our appearance caught them off guard. If we stay at the Longmen Guards Bureau, we will not wait for them to stop the Longmen. We lack engineering equipment and warships. Under such circumstances, they have already lost the opportunity to encounter us in the wasteland, and if they do not retreat if they are unable to cooperate internally and externally, they will only suffer heavy losses."

"It's a pity..." W licked his lips and said, "Those traitors didn't come with us."

"The news from the Dragon Gate came from Rhodes Island. Ursas and Sakaz who were lurking in the Dragon Gate are both dead...killing each other." Ines shook her gloves: "The other side has known about this for a long time. It’s a trap.”

"But the Ursans came anyway."

"They don't know." Ines said calmly, putting her gloves into the tactical bag on her waist: "They will think that Sakaz deliberately deceived them and tempted them to kill each other with us."

"Oh~ What a plan." W said in a long voice: "It's that Drak. Where is she now?"

"Rhode Island."

"Did she rebel?"

"You have to ask her yourself. If my guess is correct, it is related to the order that Rhode Island just sent. Otherwise, based on us and the people on Rhode Island, I can't think of anyone who has the right to command the Victorians."

"In other words, there is a very important person on that ship right now?"

"I never said that." Ines shrugged her shoulders: "In short, the Sakaz people are not over there, and there is no need for us to continue chasing them."

"Alas... I spent so much effort, but in the end I got the advantage of Longmen." W was very dissatisfied with the result.

"Not entirely." Ines turned back and raised her hand to look at the outline of the huge city in the distance: "At least the Usas people will not believe them anymore, and we have plenty of opportunities."

"We want to get involved in Ursus... Oh." A wicked smile suddenly broke out on W's face: "We seem to be doing this already."

Within the next few hours, the infected and unknown persons lurking on the Longmen Route quietly disappeared into the wilderness air.

Of course, no one can prove that they are soldiers of that country.

They took away the corpses of those who had died in the skirmishes. Except for the dried blood stains and indentations left in the sand of the wasteland, no one could prove that they had ever been here.

Longmen seems to be unaware of everything and runs on the established waterway as usual. Except for the fact that the inspection team of the Guards Bureau quickly handled another port riot caused by terrorists and was reported by local newspapers and news, there is no other news about Longmen. Any unrest occurs.

There seems to be no difference between today and yesterday, everything is calm as usual.

But soon, a series of political conflicts broke out in Ursus. The speaker's car was attacked by unknown people in the Holy Castle. The infected supplementary decree that caused a lot of commotion in major cities was also backlogged in the abandoned parliament. It was no longer mentioned in the proposal pile, and was sent to the old secretary's hand shredder along with some other important waste paper during the subsequent cleaning.

Ursus began to unanimously turn their attention to the cities occupied by the infected again - the names of Chernobog, Talulah Atrias and the Integration Movement once again appeared in parliamentary documents and issues.

Longmen outer ring—19 kilometers/clear

The wilderness is always like this, with nothing left except the desolation of the yellow sand Gobi and the short bushes.

"You really are here."

From the familiar and slow voice behind him, Wei Yanwu could guess who it was without turning around.

"I still can't hide it from you."

The Rat King walked slowly to Wei Yanwu's side. The old man looked at the land in front of Wei Yanwu with complex eyes, and there was a hint of turbidity in his shrewd eyes.

"That's the only reason you want to come here, to mourn them."

"Perhaps it is to mourn ourselves that we are still here coveting life and fearing death."

Wei Yanwu glanced at the Rat King beside him.

"This doesn't sound like something you would say. Are you old?"

"At least I'm not as old as you. You're almost too old to walk, old guy."

"But I can live for a few more years, young master, think more about your own affairs, spend time with my daughter, and maybe have a chance to hug my little grandson."

"...Maybe a granddaughter."

"My granddaughter, she still recognizes me. It's not like some people."

"Stop making fun of me."

Wei Yanwu turned his head.

"I still have to stab you once or twice, old friend." The Rat King looked at Wei Yanwu, "I didn't expect you to change. This is good. Your dictatorship almost destroyed Longmen before, but it's not too late now." Lately, we all understand the horrors of war."

"I didn't do it." Wei Yanwu shook his head.

"But you acquiesced."

"I don't think this is an inevitable thing. Even if Longmen chooses one of its futures, it may strangle that future to death because of some trivial things. It's a coincidence, but it's just an accident."

"This city didn't choose him, old friend, you and I should be lucky, it was him who chose them."

"There is no contradiction between the two, Ge Rui. This city also chose him."

"Oh... is it that easy for you to admit it?" The Rat King looked deeply at Wei Yanwu.

"I do not understand what you are saying."

"Forget it, just go and tell Hui Jie and Xiao Mo yourself if you are similar. They are obviously very old." The Rat King turned around with his stick: "I'll take my leave first, young master."

"...Wait, Ge Rui." Wei Yanwu suddenly turned around and called out to the Rat King.

"Did the Shadow Guard do something without telling me?"

"Ah?" The Rat King was confused and shook his head: "How do I know about your shadow guard?"

"It's not surprising what you and Lin Yuxia can do together."

"Then you should ask them. I can't order them to do anything."

"But he can." Wei Yanwu said.

"Then you should know in your heart why he can do it." The Rat King asked back: "Your shadow guards are no longer the imperial guards in the past. They are now human beings. Can they bear to watch you make another mistake?"

“So, [|

Wei Yanwu said nothing more, but the answer made him feel a little dazed.

He sighed softly: "You kept your promise, but you didn't deny that you were dissatisfied, old friend."

"Maybe it's time for Longmen to make changes. Young Master, if you don't do it, someone will do it for you."

"We are all old. Let the young people solve their own problems. Isn't it just because you knew this possibility..." The Rat King still saved some face for Wei Yanwu.

Wei Yanwu didn't answer.

"Go back early, Lao Singhu still has something to ask you for."

The Rat King said and suddenly stopped.

"Hui Jie? You're here."

He raised his head slightly and looked at Chen who was walking over.

"Uncle Lin." Chen nodded.

The Rat King slowly turned his head and focused on the person next to Chen. He was stunned for a short time. His brain seemed to be recalling the person's appearance. He felt a little enlightened and his expression became kind.

"Are you... Xiaota? I haven't seen you for many years, right? You're so old, I almost don't recognize you."

He deliberately increased his voice, and Wei Yanwu's lowered fingers trembled slightly.

"You must have suffered a lot in the past few years, alas." The Rat King stretched out his hand.

Tallulah smiled gently and took his raised palm.

"It's all over, Uncle Lin, long time no see."

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back." The Rat King gently patted the back of Tallulah's hand. This powerful underworld leader in the lower city now looked like an ordinary old man who saw a young man he hadn't seen for a long time. Out of the corner of his eye: "Looking at you dressed like this, Hui Jie, are you ready to leave too?"

"……I am not sure."

"It seems that you are preparing to leave. Remember to come back and check if you need anything. Ask someone to come back and send a message to let us know that you are safe outside."

"I will, Uncle Lin."

The Rat King turned to Tallulah and glanced behind her.

"If the second young master was still here, how could he watch you suffer so much."

Wei Yanwu didn't look back, as if he didn't hear what the Rat King said.

Tallulah and Chen looked at his back.

Tallulah said softly:

"What's past is past."

There is no family affection left between them.

Chapter 164 The beautiful dreams about Longmen in those years

The elevated highway in the abandoned urban area of ​​Longmen outer ring was once a resort for drag racing parties and car enthusiasts in the city.
