Longmen Memoirs

Whether it is a dream or a fantasy in a painting.

At least she doesn't have to think too much anymore, and now she can be the same as Hui Jie.

She actually envied Hui Jie's decisiveness and sharpness in keeping her word, going forward without hesitation. She had been Tallulah, the leader of the integration movement that others expected for too long.

Tallulah thought, her eyes softening.

But now, she is just Tallulah, a small tower who does not belong to any organization and does not bear any mission or responsibility.

He'll be surprised.

I know you have regrets in your heart.

It's just Hui Jie... I hope she won't be angry. No, she will definitely be angry. She has been like this since she was a child. She doesn't say anything but thinks in her heart.

But that's fine too.

Tallulah suddenly thought with some evil intentions, raised the corners of her mouth, and gently picked up Xiao Mo beside her.

Amiya felt that Miss Tallulah in front of her looked completely different from before, and the smile at the corner of her mouth gave her a vague feeling of bad premonition.

ps: There are many familiar faces behind, and Tallulah’s combat effectiveness without the concerns of the Integration Movement is not as strong as usual.

All Quiet in Northern Xinjiang ([-])

A long time ago, a man named Chen Huijie in Londinium called me a self-righteous bastard.

Maybe she was right.

Because there are too many things that I want to catch but fail to catch, leaving many regrets that are difficult to make up for and recover, so I always think about becoming greedy, holding everything firmly in my own hands, and doing whatever I want. Thinking about what you should do and what you can do, you never consider or ask about the wishes of the person involved.

The feeling of loss is not pleasant. In all things in the world, it is often more difficult to accept something gained and lost than something lost and regained.

Chen held his chin in his hand and stared at the man in front of him who was processing documents behind the desk.

Night falls and time passes quietly.

"Are you going to keep staring at me like this?" The man finally put down the pen in his hand.

"What's the problem?" Chen raised her eyebrows and asked in a bad tone. She was always confident.

"Are you so free?"

"No, there is nothing to do." She seemed to have guessed what the man wanted to say, and pointed to the pile of copywriting without thinking: "Don't think about me working for you in vain, don't even think about it, I would rather sit here To pass the time, don’t worry about leaving those things to me.”

"...Free food and free accommodation?"

"Yes." She pressed her palms on the table and looked at him with provocation: "Do you have any objections?"

The man's lips moved and he looked away.

"It's good that you don't feel bored."

"Ha." Chen sneered and paused: "You said before that there would be no fighting in the past half month."

"Huh?" He paused while holding the pen: "It won't happen for the time being. Neither side is ready. The army needs to further survey the terrain in Ursus. Ursus has mobilized three armies to garrison in the southern border. Scouts There were small-scale conflicts, but the big war...maybe it will take some time."

Chen frowned, her intuition telling her that the person in front of her was not telling the truth.

"I didn't lie to you." As if he knew what Chen was thinking, the man added seriously.

"It doesn't matter if I lie or not." Chen did not hide the suspicion on his face.

"Then why ask?"

"You know better." Chen asked with a cold face.

"So you have already gone to see her." The man slowly closed the document and put it away calmly: "Once the war on the southeastern and northern fronts starts, it will be a big war. We are waiting for Ursus to gather. , after breaking through the defenses in the southern border in one go, there will no longer be any greater obstacles to this march route."

"So this is the main reason." Chen said, but his words were very sure.

He did not object.

"Is it possible that you still want to fight all the way to the Holy Castle?" Chen asked with raised eyebrows.

"You're not much better either." Chen Leng said with a sneer.

"Who is not?" He said helplessly: "They are waiting, and we are waiting too. They all just want to make this war simpler. If everything goes well, the gateway to the southeastern territory of Ursus will be in this battle. Was completely turned on when it was over.”

He said and Chen pursed his lips.

"No one can guarantee how far this war will go. Yan has made enough predictions, but I think it's more than that. You should persuade her to take her group of people to leave this area." He said: "They have a better way out. With their situation, there is no need to get involved in this war. When the strength of the troops in the eastern border of Ursus is severely weakened, they will have more opportunities."

The sarcasm in the sneer on Chen's lips became more obvious.

She looked at Chen Mo and suddenly felt a little funny.

If I hadn't known the outcome of this war earlier, would I have believed the lies in your mouth now, and would I have gone all out to break through the southern border defense line of Ursus and wipe out the effective forces gathered in Ursus?

Yes, you did indeed do it. Yan defeated the three armies deployed by Ursus on the southern front. The offensive was indeed overwhelming at first, but then it became slower and slower.

The Ussans were caught off guard by you, but you actually know in your heart that the country behind you has not really decided to fight a large-scale national battle. After winning the victory in the northern Xinjiang and advancing to the south, I never thought about being completely plunged into the quagmire of war with Ursus.

Ursus's national border is too long, and the vast areas are worthless to Yan. The long supply boxes make this war ultimately more costly than gain.

"What happens after that?" Chen asked: "If the Yan Kingdom really successfully achieved its strategic expectations, will it still have to rely on the [-] troops in northern Xinjiang to cross the vast snow and plains and march towards the southern plains where the industrial cities of Ursus are gathered? ?”

He froze slightly.

"Not necessarily." He said: "But we will definitely cross the border, assume a posture of advancing south, and capture the mobile cities traveling on the southeast line."

"Like Chernobog?" Chen tapped his fingers on the table and kept sneering.

He suddenly fell silent and frowned imperceptibly.

"Chernobog is just one of them," he said calmly.

"Ha." Chen couldn't help but sneer. "The power struggle within Ursus is mainly concentrated in the south and central part of Ursus. The city of Chernobog was a victim of the struggle in the early years. It belonged to the power of the old military aristocracy. Later, after its rise, it gradually moved closer to the direction of the aristocracy, so regardless of Whether it is the conflicts in Ursus's political arena or the military that is leading the war and trying to suppress the new aristocracy and reformist parliament, they will take advantage of this war to take control of it, and they will not allow the city to retreat. Go to the south, move backwards, and get out of their hands."

"..."

The way he looked at Chen changed slightly. "Why do you care about this city?"

"Someone told me these things personally before coming here." Chen said with raised corners of his mouth.

"Oh? Wei Yanwu."

He asked deliberately curiously, and Chen said goodbye.

"He doesn't care about that."

"Who is that?"

"Do you think I will tell you?" Chen Wei narrowed his eyes and looked at him in front of him.

There is a word called "far away in the horizon but close in front of you", but it is obvious that someone cannot guess the answer no matter what.

He didn't ask further questions because he knew Chen would definitely not tell.

"I admit that what you said is the truth." He said: "But I also said that Chernobog is just one of them. This war with Ursus must get something, such as several mobile cities. Yan indeed has no plans to go deep into Ursus. In fact, the Military Council is also considering the political struggle of Saint Jun Castle. As you just said, the parliamentary reformers and the military, as well as the dependent and military The conflicts between the old nobles of Fang are the first to be involved."

"But I think this war is not as easy as you think."

Chen's smile slowly faded. She pressed her fingers on the table, revealing her white knuckles under her forearms. There were some subtle changes in her eyes as she looked at him.

"War never goes smoothly." He did not notice the subtle change in Superintendent Chen's eyes.

"I mean, some others," Chen said. "Have you ever thought about your plans after this war is over?"

He didn't answer, but raised his head and looked at Chen's face. Their eyes met, and Chen's beautiful red pupils reflected his appearance.

"...No matter what the outcome is, I can't accompany you back to Longmen." He said without looking away.

"Does it surprise you that I'm so calm?" Chen asked, feeling better for some reason.

"A bit."

"Don't want to know why?"

"You lost your temper when you first came here during the day. Now that you bring it up, you can't accept it calmly in just a few hours. I know you don't have such a temper." He said helplessly: "But I don't want to Know."

"Are you going to escape again?"

"……I'm very sorry."

"Do you think an understatement of apology is enough?" Chen sneered: "Didn't you just want to send me away at the beginning? Your Highness."

Chen's words never hurt people. Of course, it was much better than when she was making trouble unreasonably, but the way she looked now was that she was obviously making trouble.

The handle hidden in the sheath, Chi Xiao, is placed not far from here.

"But didn't I ask you to stay?" He said bravely.

Originally, in his expectation, after he said those words during the day, Chen would leave in disappointment, and at the worst, he would not act like a rogue.

In his impression, Chen shouldn't have the character to do such a thing.

For some reason, he began to feel that some things were beyond his control, such as Chen's unexpected actions during the day and her casual remarks about the situation in the city of Chernobog just now.

This kind of city... was the price he negotiated with Witte of the Ursus Council after long consideration. Chen, who was far away in Longmen, shouldn't be so interested in a city of Ursus.

"So in your impression, you think I shouldn't have stayed in the first place!"

Chen loudly said that this was not the first time she had come to this military camp. Nothing had changed from what she remembered in the past, but she did not stay that time. She was just disheartened after getting the answer that was not surprising. of leaving here.

Otherwise, Superintendent Chen would not be able to act shamelessly, and this would probably be a familiarity.

Chen's reaction was a bit surprising. Unexpectedly, she would have such a violent reaction because of this sentence. It seemed that she realized something was wrong with her. After Chen said this sentence, she suddenly lost her voice.

He also lost his voice.

Just looking at each other, there was unconcealable anger on Chen's face.

"Why are you coming back?" Chen suddenly asked, breaking the brief silence. "Why do you still want to go to Longmen? Why are you not surprised at all that I am here? Why do you want to participate in this war?"

"..."

They were not far apart, but the expression on Chen's face became calmer when he said these words.

He said nothing.

"Why don't you answer?!" Chen's fingers on the table were clenched tightly.

He sighed softly and looked at Chen Huijie in front of him, who suddenly felt a little strange to him, and her sudden questions that might make others feel confused.

The uneasiness in my heart became more and more intense, just like the Chen Huijie in front of me, who was calm but had an unknown amount of anger hidden in his heart...perhaps also aggrieved and unwilling.

"Are you..." He still couldn't express what he was thinking.

He thought it was too bizarre, but this idea that made him feel uneasy and unrealistic became more and more real.

Chen looked at his stiff expression for a moment, and felt a sense of joy in his heart for no reason.

In fact, she didn't blame the liar in front of her much, she just wanted to teach her a profound lesson.

Let’s see if you dare to be self-righteous in the future.

Thinking this, Chen raised the corners of his mouth slightly and added another layer of anger.

"You're speechless?" Chen asked, "Then let me help you!"

"You went to Longmen because you weren't sure Tallulah could deal with you and Kosiche. You came here to pretend to participate in this war because you wanted to help Tallulah and her infected people solve the densely populated southeastern border of Ursus. The Ursus army is squeezing, and you use the hands of Yanguo and War to provide them with supplies and weapons to help them adapt to the war, divert the attention of the army, and finally enable them to gain a living place here. You ask me why They will pay attention to Chernobog, because Chernobog is clearly the city you chose for them.”

Chen's smile gradually turned into indifference, and many questions that he couldn't figure out at first were only answered when everything finally settled.

"You did this deliberately... and in the end you wanted to die here, in Tallulah's hands, so that you could fulfill her reputation!"

Fame and fortune, fame is beneficial, and fame can convince the public. Without enough fame, how can one gather and lead a large number of infected people, how can one convince others.

But Chen was wrong. Whether it was fame or the so-called provision of weapons and material benefits, it was just to facilitate the situation. His original purpose was simply not to want Tallulah to die in the middle of this road.

After seeing hope and understanding the way forward, whether we will reach the end is not fixed. The same is true for many people, but they all fall before the end.

There are many things that Chen doesn't know, such as how long he has been planning for this war, and that his trip to the Yan Kingdom is not actually as Chen thought, just to use the war to contain the southeastern and southern armies of Ursus. The main force, let them shift their focus.

Infected people... In fact, in this world where the general trend is the general trend, under the pressure of people's hearts and various public opinions, he can't see the hope of Tallulah's success. She may indeed be able to save some infected people, but in the end she can only Like a flash in the pan, it quickly fell silent under the turbulent waves, and was eventually torn into pieces by various conspiracies and covetousness.

They are not united, and their will is not strong enough. They are just a group of suffering people gathered together. They cannot even have food and clothing. How can they save themselves and pursue justice.

There is only one truth in the world, and the biggest truth is a big fist, but their fists are obviously not big enough, and they obviously cannot contain the ordinary people in the city who are watching.
