Longmen Memoirs

"I'm trying to reason with you." He picked up the vegetables and slowly put them into the bowl in front of Chen.

Chen watched his movements and pursed his thin lips tightly.

"I thought we still had a lot to say." Chen heard him say slowly: "I thought you had a lot to say to me. How many times have we quarreled."

The red eyes flickered slightly.

"There could have been a lot," Chen said softly.

"But now you don't know what to say?"

"You're always trying to piss me off."

He said and the room fell silent.

Chen suddenly pressed heavily on the desk.

"Don't think that if you say something nice now, I will just leave. Don't even think about it!"

"Then don't leave and stay for now."

Chen was stunned for a moment, seemingly not hearing what he was saying.

"What did you say?"

"I said you can stay. You can stay, but you have to make a three-way agreement with me."

Chen thought that he would send her back forcefully. He had also said it himself. Chen had already thought of a way to deal with it. Although some of the words she said were indeed angry, she was the kind of person who could say it and might do so. people.

From the previous dispute to the current calm, Chen thought about many possibilities, except for this situation.

She is cautious.

He looked at the person in front of him suspiciously.

"What the hell are you planning?!"

"It's because you don't want to leave." He ate his meal calmly: "Those messy ideas you came up with, now I say you can stay."

"I don't believe you!" Chen said warily, "I always feel that you have bad intentions now."

"That's what I said." He smiled: "If you don't want to stay, just leave. I'll have someone take you away. It's your choice to go back to Longmen or somewhere else."

He put down the dishes.

"You are the one who wants to stay, and you are the one who is suspicious now. You are making it difficult for me, Miss Chen."

Chen fell silent.

"Which three chapters?" she asked after a few seconds.

"First, no behavior that violates military discipline is allowed."

"And..." Chen didn't object.

"Second, you are not allowed to leave my surroundings."

"can."

"Third, you have to listen to me. You can't do anything I don't allow, including things you see that may be intolerable to you."

"I can't guarantee it." Chen shook his head.

"This is war, not the drunken quarrels you see on the streets of Longmen, nor the gangsters causing trouble."

boom--

"Who are you looking down on!" She slammed the desk with anger.

"I'm telling you something that you can't see in Longmen, but you will be able to see here. War kills people. There are no laws and human feelings in war, and there is no prison for you to hold prisoners, your enemies. I don’t think they are making mistakes, and there is no crime that can judge a soldier who is giving his life for his country and dignity.” He said coldly: “The way we and they treat each other on the battlefield is to kill each other.”

"...I don't agree, what can you do to me?" Chen crossed his hands, looking like a rogue.

"Then you are not suitable to stay." He said: "Listen! Chen Huijie, I am trying to reason with you now, not playing house with you. Even if you force yourself to stay, you may still see what I tell you. What are you going to do about this? Spare them, and then let them take up arms again to kill those who spared them? Your kindness will cost those who trusted you, their lives, their lost Family, children, parents or lovers...just like you in front of me."

"You really think I'm so naive that I don't even understand these principles!" Chen asked in a low voice. "I'm not as miserable as you think!"

"You may understand, and you can also understand many truths." He did not refute: "You have been educated, you can distinguish right from wrong, and understand the importance, but you have not experienced it and have not really faced it."

"..." Chen was suddenly speechless.

She really hasn't experienced this.

Then you have experienced it, she wanted to ask this, but she knew the answer well, and suddenly she felt a little depressed. Something was stuck in her heart. She looked at the man in front of her who was wearing armor even when eating, and looked at him calmly. His eyes, his strange yet familiar face, his long pale hair.

"I... can try to accept it." She said hesitantly. After all, she was not a child and could really do whatever she wanted without any scruples.

"very good."

The man nodded.

"Then what should I do now?" Chen suddenly asked.

She had never thought about staying in this military camp before she came. Her profession was not compatible with marching and fighting, so she could not be allowed to catch prisoners in this military camp.

There are no prisoners here, everyone here is a prisoner.

They know how to kill and are prepared to be killed.

"Do nothing." He said slowly, putting down the empty bowls and chopsticks: "There's no rush, we'll talk about the rest after you finish eating."

Chen watched him stand up.

"Where do you want to run?!"

He turned back to look at Chen's eyes, which were looking at him hard and a little expectantly.

"Can't you bear me?"

Chen was stunned for a moment, blushed, and turned his head away suddenly.

"Roll, roll, as far away as possible."

As he walked out of the door, Chen couldn't help but look back quietly. It wasn't until he disappeared from sight that she sighed heavily and sat down in the seat that originally belonged to King Wu.

Sitting in the seat of the commander-in-chief of an army, he held his chopsticks and inserted them into the bottom of the bowl to vent his frustration.

He went out the door.

His eyes first glanced at the personal guard on duty, and the latter's eyes faintly glanced over.

"Cao Jianzhi!!" He suddenly called out a name.

A certain figure who was originally hiding behind the military tent suddenly trembled.

"His Highness is calling you, Commander." The guards behind him pushed Cao Jianzhi's shoulders as if they were gloating.

Cao Jianzhi turned around and glared fiercely.

"I heard it, and I still need you to tell me!"

"Give you three breaths and get in front of me."

"Three Breaths, Commander."

"Shut that damn mouth of yours, I won't get any good results from you, so don't even think about falling behind."

He cursed behind him with a shameless expression. At first, his expression of imminent disaster quickly turned into a serious one, and he walked out.

"I'm here." He shouted first, walked quickly to the steps in front of the door, bowed and saluted, and then smiled bitterly: "Call me, Your Highness, what's the matter?"

"You are guilty."

The man asked with a stern face the commander of the bodyguards in front of him, who had a generous figure, a straight military uniform, and an upright look on his face.

"This..." Cao Jianzhi said with a mellow look of confusion: "What's the crime of holding a low position?"

"You've gained skills, see." He walked down the steps step by step, walked behind Cao Jianzhi with his hands behind his back, raised his hand and patted his shoulder: "Why didn't I know that your Samadhi Kamikaze Qi can still be used? For this reason, I heard a lot of interesting things, do you want to tell me about them and have fun together?"

Cao Jianzhi's expression froze.

"Your Highness, why don't I understand what you said?" He turned around again, raised his hand in confusion and innocent salute: "Your Highness, please clarify?"

"You don't understand, right? It doesn't matter." The man looked at the commander of the personal guards in front of him and smiled gently: "I still remember when you were talking about the nonsense in the martial arts hall."

Cao Jianzhi suddenly took a step back and said loudly: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness. I am really ashamed of my humble position."

"Don't admit it yet?"

Damn it if you admit it.

"It's nothing." Cao Jianzhi said seriously.

"I haven't asked to admit anything yet..."

Cao Jianzhi raised his head and spoke righteously.

"The only thing in my humble heart is passion, integrity and loyalty!"

"Bullshit!" The man suddenly raised his foot and kicked Cao Jianzhi on the butt. The latter staggered forward two steps, but he felt happy in his heart.

"Your Highness is teaching you a lesson. I will go back and clean up those bastards." Cao Jianzhi waved his hands indignantly and said, "This is so outrageous!"

"Come here." He took a few steps and waved.

Cao Jianzhi hesitated for a moment, then walked over.

"What are your orders, Your Highness?"

"Jianzhi, let me ask you something. You are married, right?"

"Why did His Highness ask about this?" Cao Jianzhi asked in confusion.

"How long have you been married?"

"It's been three years."

"Three years." He sighed. This sudden question made Cao Jianzhi even more confused: "I heard that you continued to wander around after getting married. You haven't seen your wife for a long time. Do you miss her?"

"Your Highness...if you have anything to say, just say it. This makes me feel uncomfortable in my humble position."

"Oh, don't be afraid, I just want to care about you." He put his hand on Cao Jianzhi's shoulder armor. Cao Jianzhi glanced at the arm on his shoulder: "When was the last time you saw your wife?"

"a year ago."

"Is it noisy?"

"...My wife comes from an aristocratic family. Although she may not be from a famous family, she has been well-educated and sensible since she was a child, and has a gentle and gentle personality." Cao Jianzhi was a little proud: "It's okay to quarrel."

"But people below say you are henpecked." He asked again: "I know it's henpecked. It's embarrassing. I can understand if you don't want to say it, really."

"Your Highness... I think I understand what you mean." Cao Jianzhi suddenly said with the corners of his eyes twitching.

"Sensible."

He patted Cao Jianzhi on the shoulder happily.

All Quiet in Northern Xinjiang ([-])

[Bitter and sweet is being in the winter night sky, facing the flickering and smoking stove, listening to the distant memories slowly rising, reflecting you singing in the mist. 】

The man happily patted the shoulder of the young and promising guard commander who was happily married and had a happy family. The latter opened his mouth with an awkward expression as he was hesitant to speak but didn't know where to start.

"This matter is about this. Except for you and the Guards, no one has been to the military camp today. You can handle the matter. Understand."

"Yes." Cao Jianzhi raised his hands and saluted, then paused and said cautiously: "But the most important thing is that the supervisory envoy, Your Highness, that group of people is not easy to fool."

"It doesn't matter. There is no problem with her identity. They won't bother with it."

"Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask." The man said. Cao Jianzhi nodded, and then asked, "Where did Gao Yi go?"

"He is in charge of patrolling the camp today." Cao Jianzhi replied: "In fact, your guest inside was also brought here by Gao Yi after confirming the authenticity of the certificate he gave."

"Ask him to find out where she came from and who she was with." The man ordered.

"This...you can ask me." Cao Jianzhi asked doubtfully.

"do you have any opinion."
