My system comes with a chat group?

"If there is an idea to purchase oripathy inhibitors or treat oripathy, we warmly welcome it. Of course, Rhodes Island also has its own plan to assist oripathy patients, which is not insignificant."

"Longmen is a beautiful city. We have no intention of causing any trouble here. Commander Wei should not be on guard against me. The incident from ten years ago should not be forgotten so quickly, right?"

"!" Wei Yanwu's pupils suddenly shrank. What happened ten years ago was something he would never forget, and he would never mention it to anyone else! On the surface, they defeated Kosice, but the price they paid was equally tragic.

Regardless of how Yakumo knew this, at this point in time, did Yakumo bring this up?

Meaning...

"Koschei also attacked Rhodes Island." Yakumo swallowed the last bite of food and said leisurely: "I believe Commander Wei has also heard about the Ursus army being defeated in the wilderness."

Of course he had heard of it. If it weren't for this incident, Wei Yanwu wouldn't have been wary of Rhodes Island. However, was it Kosice who sent troops to attack Rhodes Island?

Wei Yanwu touched his chin. This seemed to be a point that could be used. Could the conflict between Rhodes Island and Koschei benefit Longmen? Since Rhodes Island was able to repel a small force of Ursus, it meant that Rhodes Island had at least some military strength.

In just a short while, Wei Yanwu had already made a preliminary analysis of the military composition of Rhodes Island. Although he didn't know that these troops were all Yakumo's, he had already analyzed other aspects.

"Rhodes Island really doesn't want to consider targeting Koschei? He obviously attacked you, too, right?" Wei Yanwu began to encourage Yakumo: "If we get rid of him, Rhodes Island will feel more at ease, right?"

"Ah? What Kosice? Isn't he the Duke of Ursus? He has nothing to do with Rhodes Island." Yakumo seemed to have forgotten what he had just said and started to act stupid.

"By the way, today's dishes are good, but a little small. Next time, I will invite Chief Wei to our Linwan (fish ball) restaurant for a good meal. As much as you can eat."

Who asked you to be so controlling! Wei Yanwu knew that today's conversation was almost over. Rhodes Island would definitely not intervene in the dispute between the two countries, and it was impossible to face off against an Ursus Duke at this stage.

Knowing the lowest estimate of Rhodes Island's current strength is already a gain. As for the cooperation with Longmen, no, Wei Yanwu really doesn't need it now, so he's not in a hurry.

Finally, in a happy atmosphere, Yakumo said goodbye to Wei Yanwu and leisurely returned to the underground street.

After Yakumo walked out of the door, Wei Yanwu leaned back in his chair and said, "Longmen, this guy is such a glutton. He didn't even leave any food for me. What the hell is his stomach like?"

"It's rare to see you so angry." Wen Yue walked out from behind the screen.

"Isn't it? This bastard actually did this. Did he really just come here to eat?!" Wei Yanwu pointed at the table: "Besides, this little guy is so slippery. He never intended to have a good talk with me from the beginning!"

"Well, since you've already thought of it, why are you so angry? Can it have any other effect except making yourself more uncomfortable? Besides, haven't you paid too little attention to the little tower recently?"

"Tallulah is not a little girl anymore. She should know how to be independent..."

"Wei! Yan! Wu! I'm not asking you, I'm informing you! This is the period when children are most likely to rebel. It's not just Xiaota, Xiaochen is the same. If you have a conflict someday, I won't let you into the house!"

"Eh? Eh! Don't! I think Tallulah and Chen Huijie are grown up, shouldn't they be independent?! I'll go in the evening, and then I'll chat with them when I get back. I can still spare the time."

Wei Yanwu smiled along and didn't care about the completely empty plates on the table. The most important thing was to coax his wife first.

"I'm going out for a walk tonight. If I come back and see that Xiaota and Xiaochen are still arguing, you'll have to sleep on the sofa tonight!" Wen Yue said, turned around and walked out of the box.

"Hey, what's going on?" Wei Yanwu slapped his face. Wasn't Mercury retrograde today? How come the negotiations with Rhodes Island were not going well, and Wen Yue had to tell him about it?

No, he had to go back and check on Tallulah and Chen Huijie, otherwise Wen Yue would really lock him outside the bedroom and make him sleep on the sofa!

Chapter 54: The Approaching Shadow

Yakumo hummed a song and returned to the clinic. Ah Xing had already gone home. He did not lock the door before leaving, but just closed it. However, no one would come to Yakumo's clinic to steal things. If someone did, they would probably be thrown out on the street the next day.

Anyone who dares to steal things here in Yakumo will definitely be on the blacklist of all the gangs. In this underground street, once you are on the blacklist of all the gangs, it can be said that you can hardly move an inch.

"Kosice will come to Longmen to cause trouble next year, but the exact time is still uncertain. Judging from Wei Yanwu's attitude, he is also not sure. But Wei Yanwu also wants to deal with Kosice, but he just can't find the opportunity."

"Tsk, it seems that Wei Lao Er is really not good enough. He only defended the dragon gate in the second battle. So the question is, Koschei said he could blow up the dragon gate, so how did he transport so much explosives?"

If I remember correctly, Kosche threatened to blow up half of the gantry and then took Tallulah away. Wei Lao Er was not the kind of person who believed everything others said, so Kosche must have something to rely on.

So the question is, where did this reliance come from? Naturally, it was something like explosives that could blow up the dragon gate. So back to the question, how did Kosice get the bomb in under Wei Yanwu's control?

This is simply incredible, or is it that Wei Yanwu was fooled by the black snake? Let Ah Xing pay attention to this matter later. Ah Xing seems to be very good at observation, which can be regarded as Ah Xing's specialty.

"Someone who looks particularly suspicious? Boss, in the underground street, everyone looks suspicious, even the Rat King." Ah Xing smiled bitterly: "Who among those who have ended up in the underground street doesn't have some problems?"

"That is, boss, you have set a rule here.

Otherwise, the front of the door will be very messy." Ah Xing pointed at himself and said, "Do you think I am honest? But in fact, my situation is not too good either."

"...There are quite a few illegal residents in the underground streets." Ah Xing looked puzzled. "People like the boss won't reveal their origins, right? Not to mention ordinary people who are just trying to make a living."

"So, boss, when you ask which people are suspicious, you can't tell in a place like an underground street." Finally, Ah Xing concluded: "Boss, do you have a more accurate judgment standard? For example, appearance characteristics?"

"That's difficult. I'm asking this because I don't know his appearance." Yakumo stroked his chin. "If I knew, wouldn't I have arrested him directly?"

"Ah... I'll try my best to keep an eye on you, boss." Ah Xing sighed. What else could he do? After all, he was his boss, so he had to listen to him.

"Well, just report to me if there is any situation, no matter how big or small it is." Yakumo patted Axing's shoulder, then opened the door of the clinic and started business for today.

After the last fight, the underground street has been peaceful for quite a long time. In recent days, there are fewer people coming to see doctors - this is only for normal people. There are still many people with mineral disease who come here frequently to buy medicine.

Level 1 Ore Disease Inhibitor Yakumo can be made by hand, without any cost, and the price of Level 2 and above Ore Disease Inhibitors will start to increase. Therefore, ordinary Ore Disease patients can actually afford it.

Moreover, if the symptoms are mild, a bottle of inhibitor can last for a long time and basically will not cause too much burden on their lives. The entrance of Yakumo Medical Clinic is also one of the few places in Longmen where infected people and lung infected people get along normally.

"Why are the infected and non-infected people so peaceful here?" Talulah sat in the seat next to her, sipping milk, and was very confused about the situation.

She occasionally saw infected people in other places in Longmen, but all of them were guarded. Even though medical research has now concluded that contact with people infected with oripathy will not lead to oripathy infection.

But it still can't stop people from discriminating against those infected.

"This is a very complicated problem, Tallulah. If you want to understand or even solve this problem, it may take you a lifetime or more. No, why are you here again?!"

Yakumo subconsciously explained to Tallulah before realizing why Tallulah was running towards him again. Was she really not afraid of dragging Wei Yanwu over here someday?

"Besides, you haven't been out with Chen and the others for a few days, right? Are you having a quarrel?" Yakumo ignored Tallulah's inquiring eyes and started asking questions to her instead.

"No, Xiao Chen and I are very good friends!" Tallulah retorted immediately.

"So you're angry with Wei Lao Er again?" Yakumo sat on the other side and ate melon seeds. It was quite pleasant for two people to drink milk and eat melon seeds.

"Aunt Wenyue didn't let him into the house last night." Tallulah suddenly blurted out.

"What the hell? How did you know?!" Although Talulah is a relative of Wei Yanwu, she is not Wei Yanwu's biological daughter and it is impossible for her to live in Wei Yanwu's house. How did she know that Wei Yanwu slept on the sofa yesterday?

"I saw it this morning when I went to see Aunt Wen Yue..." Tallulah was a little embarrassed. She didn't know that Wei Yanwu slept on the sofa because she had ignored him yesterday, and she thought she had seen something she shouldn't have seen.

For example, the erotic activities between husband and wife.

I can only say that this child... is indeed precocious.

"No, don't change the subject casually!" It wasn't until now that Tallulah realized that the question she wanted to ask Yakumo was casually ignored by Yakumo, and she had to bring the question back!

"We are discussing the issue of the infected!"

"Tsk, the infected are handled by the managers of each city. Why are you, a little kid, thinking so much?" Yakumo pushed the melon seeds towards Tallulah: "How about eating some melon seeds?"

"No." Looking at the melon seeds in front of her, Tallulah looked conflicted. Perhaps because of her Victorian ancestry, Tallulah was not very good at dealing with melon seeds.

"Also, we are discussing the topic of infected people." Tallulah couldn't help but whispered to the table. This was a move she learned from Wei Yanwu, and she felt very majestic.

"Tsk, that's why I say that the kids who are always trying to get to the bottom of things are the most troublesome." Yakumo spat out the melon seed shells: "The topic of infected people is too big, it's not suitable for you now."

“Even if you grow up in the future, you won’t be able to solve all the problems of the infected. If you are just curious because you saw the infected people on the street, then stop your curiosity here. There is no point in continuing.”

"If you really want to solve some problems of the infected, then asking this question still makes no sense. What you should do is think carefully about the direction you want to move forward."

Chapter 55 The Wind Rises

The problem of infected people is deeply rooted in this land. The discrimination against infected people did not happen in one day, but is the result of many years. After all, in the eyes of most people, infected people are a time bomb.

In the eyes of young Tallulah, she may still think that there is no difference between ordinary people and infected people. But this is more due to her own god share, and she has a unified view of everyone from a high position.

If things go wrong, it will become a case of eating meat. Tallulah is still too

Shallow, her attitude towards the infected is more out of pity rather than really looking at the problem from the infected's perspective.

This is not appropriate, so Yakumo repeatedly reminded Tallulah to look more, think more, and not be led by others. Young Tallulah is not mentally mature yet, and she may believe anything anyone says.

But this is also a good start. If Tallulah is willing to think, then Yakumo will provide her with a direction to think about. Every time he gives Tallulah a point to think about, if Tallulah can figure it out, then he can move on to the next step.

It was a pity that Tallulah was too young, and she didn't know who to ask. Wei Yanwu? Impossible, the answer she would get from Wei Yanwu was definitely not what Tallulah wanted.

Should she ask the Rat King? She was not familiar with the Rat King, and the Rat King might not pay attention to her. This information was not in the book, and all she could ask was that the infected were a threat and that they could never get along well.

After struggling for a month, Tallulah accidentally heard Wei Yanwu and Wen Yue talking about Yakumo, so she hurried to find Yakumo again: "What kind of organization is Rhodes Island?"

"Ah... huh? Where did you hear about Rhodes Island?" Yakumo was surprised. He had never told Tallulah about Rhodes Island, and the news about Rhodes Island was only circulated among Wei Yanwu and his group.

"That's what Aunt Wen Yue said when she was chatting with that person." Tallulah said succinctly. Now she also understood that when communicating with Yakumo, she couldn't talk about irrelevant things, but had to get straight to the point. Yakumo would not indulge her, and talking about irrelevant things would only make communication more difficult.

"I see." Yakumo nodded: "Although I didn't want to answer your question, but since you know it, I might as well tell you about it."

Yakumo briefly explained the philosophy of Rhodes Island and what Rhodes Island does: "Do you want to join Rhodes Island?"

"I admire people like this, but I don't want to join Rhodes Island. Rhodes Island and I have different ideas about the course of action, and there will be differences in our philosophies. But you are still amazing..."

Tallulah tried to sound like an adult, which made Yakumo laugh: "Differences in philosophy... Wait until you truly understand what differences in philosophy mean, then we can talk about this."

"Again, you need to think clearly about what you want to do and the direction you want to go. Before that, it's useless to say anything. Also, Longmen may be a little unstable recently, so try not to go out as much as possible."

"Not peaceful?" Tallulah couldn't understand. With the help of Wei Yanwu and his friends, Longmen was well managed from top to bottom. How could it not be peaceful?

"It's windy." Yakumo looked outside the clinic. It was almost New Year's Eve, and the temperature was getting very low. Longmen had the custom of celebrating the New Year, and even places like the underground street would be decorated with lights and colors, giving the entire underground street a New Year's atmosphere.

"It is winter after all." Tallulah did not understand Yakumo's hint and answered honestly.

"Yes, so in order to avoid catching a cold, you should stay at home more and go out less."

"Cold? For me, temperature is nothing. As long as I want, I can raise the temperature around me at any time! So can you answer my question? Is there anything not so good about Longmen recently?"

"Alas, you are just a fool..." Yakumo covered his forehead. Isn't Tallulah too... straightforward? How could anyone tell her if she asked so bluntly?

"Go back, and try to avoid coming to the underground street during this period. Let's have a good New Year first." Yakumo put his hands on Tallulah's shoulders, then turned Tallulah around and gently pushed her out the door.

After being pushed out of the clinic, Tallulah stamped her feet. She had no choice but to leave in a hurry.

After Tallulah left, Ah Xing came in from outside: "Boss, there seem to be an unusually large number of people entering Longmen recently."

"Abnormally many? What does that mean?"

"This year, there are at least 30% more people coming to Longmen than in the past." Ah Xing took a sip of water in a hurry. "I used to work at Chengmen during the New Year, and sometimes I sold some things there, so I have a relatively clear understanding of the situation every year."

"There are a lot more people this year, and the guards entering the city are a bit overwhelmed."

"Really?!" That's probably the time.

"It's absolutely true. I guarantee it with my life!"

"Wow, that's interesting. Could it be that Longmen is thriving and attracting a lot of people to invest?" Yakumo smiled, then shook his head: "Okay, it's okay. This is your bonus this year, go back and have a good new year."

"Hey!" Ah Xing nodded quickly: "What about you, boss? Aren't you going home?"

"Me? Who will take care of your health if I'm gone? At least keep you company until the New Year. What if there's another fight before the New Year? Don't worry about me. Is your child going to school? Enroll her in a good school."

"Yes!" After Axing left, Yakumo opened the discussion group.

[Yakumo: Nian, if explosives were placed in a city, would you be able to sense it? ]

【Nian: What? I’m a blacksmith, not one of those Lupo people! 】

【Shu: What happened, Yakumo-chan? Do you need help? 】

[Yakumo: It shouldn't be a matter of life or death, it's just for insurance. Then again, can Xi draw an identical person? It won't take too long, just keep it a secret for a while.]

【Xi: Why are you talking about me again?

I don’t sell paintings. 】

【Shu: Evening?】

【Xi: What, what are you doing? I am telling the truth. Anyway, I am sure...】

Xi couldn't continue talking, because not only Shu, but Ling and Shuo also showed up. What was going on? She was the youngest sister, right? Why was she like an outsider now?

【Ling: Don’t stay in the painting all the time, come out and take a walk, relax. I, your sister, am really worried about you…what’s that word called?】

【Yakumo: Mental health?】

[Ling: Yes! That's it, mental health! Xi, I heard from others that if you always lock yourself in one place, you will easily get suffocated. As the eldest sister, I think it is necessary to care about my younger sister's health! ]

【Xi: No! Need! 】

Chapter 56: Come out and play

[Nian: It’s alright, I’ll go get this girl out. What is Yakumo planning to abduct? ]

[Yakumo: Saying that I'm kidnapping is too harsh. I'm trying to avoid tragedy.]
