Ibuki Talks Back / What Crown Prince Lasts Sixty Years?

"So, does that mean the New Reunion Movement has been completely wiped out!"

"That's right, but we believe that Ursus has made so many preparations, and although the fuse of the New Reunion Movement is gone, it will be difficult for them to let this go easily."

They will likely use other means to provoke a war with the Great Yan, and the location of Lungmen..."

Suika continued, picking up where Wei Yenwu left off.

"The Great Yan has already considered what you've mentioned. I'll give you a heads-up: Yumen has changed its course and will be approaching Lungmen in about two weeks."

Upon hearing Wei Yenwu's words Suika raised an eyebrow.

Unlike Lungmen, a purely commercial city, Yumen, as a war fortress of the Great Yan, is comparable to Chernobog in Ursus.

Moreover, the current commander-in-chief of Yumen is no pushover. If Ursus goes to war without adequate preparation, it might end up losing more than it gains.

Chapter 375 Ibuki's Rant

After all, Zuo Xuanliao, the Marquis of Pingchong of Yumen, was someone the court of Hundred Stoves entrusted with the strength of a city to fight the Sui Beast. This shows how formidable Yumen's strength and martial prowess were.

What's more, above him is the most talkative master in the entire Arknights, the eldest of the Sui siblings one in the family, Shuo, who is also Chongyue's elder brother.

It can be said that Yumen here is equivalent to the Great Yan placing a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in front of the battle line.

Unless the Old Nobility of Ursus have truly gone mad, once war breaks out, given the strength of Yumen and the combined forces of the border armies, a large part of eastern Ursus will likely be "belonging to the Great Yan since ancient times."

No wonder Suika noticed Wei Yenwu's confident demeanor from the moment he entered; it turns out he'd already latched onto a powerful patron.

"That's great, we ordinary folks don't have to worry about the great power rivalry."

Oh, by the way, Old Chen owes me 100,000 Lungmen Dollars. Will you pay him or will she pay him?

Suika's words caught Wei Yenwu off guard.

One second he was smug, thinking that the Great Yan Dynasty could easily deal with Ursus's little tricks.

He was about to brag, but Suika immediately brought up the topic of debt.

Chen Hui-chieh owes her 100,000 Lungmen Dollars?

What did she buy that cost so much money?

Wei Yenwu looked at Chen Hui-chieh, Chen Hui-chieh nodded to confirm that it was true.

Wei Yenwu was a little confused, but he seemed to remember that there was such a thing in Black Mantle's report.

He was about to say something Suika stood up.

"That's basically it for what happened in Ursus. I'm sure your men have already told you about these experiences."

There wasn't anything new to hear from our retelling.

Our purpose in coming to Lungmen was to warn you about the desperate actions of the Old Nobility faction of Ursus, but since the court already has a plan, we will meddle in their affairs.

Secondly, we've probably already been registered in Ursus, so we can't stay there. We can only come to Lungmen, the nearest Lungmen, to rest. I hope Governor Wei will consider our hard work along the way and not kick us out.

I haven't had a proper night's sleep on this entire journey...

Can we go back and rest now?

Although she was asking a question, Suika's actions clearly indicated that she was already preparing to leave.

Seeing this, Wei Yenwu did not try to persuade him to stay any longer, but instead pointed to the door.

"Of course, you two have done me a great favor. Although this brother's identity is rather sensitive and he can't linger in the downtown area for too long, most of Lungmen is open to you two once you leave the central area."

Suika clasped her hands in a fist salute

"Thank you, Governor Wei. I'll take my leave now!"

Seeing Suika leave, Scout didn't linger either. After apologizing, he followed her out the door.

"Looks like this guy holds a grudge!" After Suika, Scout, and Hoshiguma left, Wei Yenwu shrugged and looked at Chen, who wanted to chase after them but stayed behind, and couldn't help but complain.

Chen hadn't expected Suika to hold such a grudge about what happened back then, and she sighed.

"I will talk to her about this properly."

After all, the decision was made because it caused such a huge uproar, and you were trying to protect her...

After Chen Congwenyue's relationship with Wei Yenwu improved, she heard about Suika's past from Wen Yue and learned that Wei Yenwu made that decision because someone in the court had taken notice of her.

At the time, he wasn't sure whose arrangement it was that Suika had suddenly appeared, which is why he chose to expel her.

If Suika was indeed someone who deliberately arranged for her to get close to Hoshiguma and then to Chen, then being expelled would be equivalent to losing her value.

If all of this was indeed an accident, Wei Yenwu's actions could also protect her from being targeted by the imperial court.

After going out on the other side, Hoshiguma felt that her entire back was covered in sweat.

She hadn't expected Suika to be so audacious as to directly confront Wei Yenwu head-on.

"You rascal, I thought you were just joking about being stingy, but you actually believed it!"

Hoshiguma reached out and pressed Suika's shoulder, saying speechlessly.

Scout, who was standing next to him, nodded. When Suika was speaking, Wei Yenwu glanced over here twice, and those two glances sent chills down his spine.

"What's there to be afraid of? Wei Yenwu's family is big and powerful, how could he possibly get angry with us ordinary folks?"

Just like I said, he already knows everything he needs to know. There's no point in us staying there; at most, we'll just listen to the leaders' speeches and then get a little red flower or something at the end.

It serves no purpose other than to further abuse our already exhausted minds.

So just slip away when you get the chance.

Suika was quite open-minded. She believed that Wei Yenwu wouldn't harm her because of her merit in saving Talulah and Chen, given his character and shrewdness.

Since that's the case, I might as well vent my anger from the past and also make it clear to Wei Yenwu that I have no interest in him or his Lungmen, and that I'm just a regular friend of Chen and Talulah.

Despite Suika's seemingly reckless actions, they were exactly what Wei Yenwu was looking for.

"I'll take you back first, then I'll take Mr. Scout to find a place to stay. Anyway, we have plenty of time to rest here according to the plan, so we can leave the equipment maintenance for tomorrow when I take you to find someone, okay?"

On the way back, Hoshiguma, as the "master," brought up her plans.

Suika and Scout had no problem with this. To be honest, they were quite tired, and it would be great if they could get a proper rest.

The next day.

When Suika woke up, she saw Chen and Hoshiguma chatting in the hall.

Upon seeing Suika, she took out a check and handed it to her.

"Two hundred thousand?" Suika's eyes lit up.

"The 100,000 is mine, and the other 100,000 was Talulah by Governor Wei." Chen smiled and looked at Suika.

"That's great! If you two sisters split the bill, I'll go from not losing money to making a small profit."

Suika did not refuse; instead, she took the check and put it in her pocket.

"Hoshiguma told me you're not planning to stay in Lungmen anymore?"

"The deportation happened so long ago, and that document has long since expired. If you want to stay, I can help you get legal status."

Chen looked at Suika and said sincerely.

Suika shook her head. "Forget it. Before I left Lungmen, I really thought it would be nice to spend my whole life in Lungmen."

But now, having seen the dazzling world outside, my wild side has been unleashed.

There are still so many places I haven't been to, so many sights I haven't seen. The road stretches on, and I'm not going to stop here just yet.

Chen was not discouraged after hearing what Suika said.

"We'll have to stop and rest when we're tired, how about we go back to Lungmen?"

"Of course, after all, Hoshiguma is here, and I like the food here too. If I had to stop here, I would choose Lungmen."

Chapter 376 Can the world truly have a crown prince who lasts sixty years?

"By the way, what about those two little guys you brought back before?"

Suika looked at Chen.

Chen stiffened upon hearing Suika's words.

"Um?"

Sensing something was wrong, Suika looked at Old Chen.

Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Chen had no choice but to tell the truth.

She and the men in Black Mantle did indeed bring the two children back to Lungmen.

However, because Lyudmila had seemed very well-behaved before, she lowered her guard and simply left them at the Guard Department.

Unexpectedly, while she and Black Mantle were reporting to the Governor's Mansion, Lyudmila escaped.

So right now, only Alex is still in the Guard Department.

After hearing this, Suika reached out and rubbed her horns.

"Forget it, everyone has their own ambitions. I originally wanted to give her a chance to come to the island, or at least settle the score. She can't blame anyone else for her bad luck."

"Huh?" The two were a little confused after hearing what Suika said.

What is going to the island? What grudges do they have? And with whom?

Suika looked at Hoshiguma

"Hoshiguma- nee, I need to ask you for a favor."

"Speak."

"Find someone in the slums, an Ursus girl, about Alex's age, named Misha. Once you find her, just bring her to see Alex."

After recalling the events and confirming that everything was alright, Suika spoke.

"Hmm... okay." Hoshiguma didn't ask Suika about the source of the information, but nodded to indicate that she would arrange for someone to do it.

"Is there anything I can do?" Chen asked from the side.

Suika shook her head

"If you're asking about the current situation, then there isn't one."

But if you're asking about what happens next...

Have you ever thought about what you would do if Talulah decided to stay in Ursus?

Chen listened to Suika's words and pondered for a moment.

"If she chooses to stay in Ursus, I will do everything in my power in Lungmen to help her and become her ally in Great Yan," Chen said firmly.

Suika looked at her and then shook her head.

"So, are you still qualified?"

"What's the meaning?"

"Talulah is the leader of the Reunion Movement, and she bears the fate of the Ursus Infected on her shoulders."

And you, a cop from Lungmen...

Even if you become the head of the Guard Department, what help can you possibly give her?

"Will they seek help from Wei Yenwu again, just like this time?"

Chen was momentarily speechless at Suika's words.

Because Suika is right.

Although she wanted to stay true to her beliefs, reason told her that her abilities couldn't keep up with her ideas.

"What do you mean?" Chen looked at Suika, who was staring at him, and had a feeling that she was thinking something bad.

Suika chuckled.

"Look, as far as I know, Governor Wei has no children, and you must be his closest descendant."

"Director Chen of the Longmen Guard Bureau can't help Talulah, but Governor Chen of Lungmen..."

Before Suika could finish speaking, Hoshiguma, who was standing next to her, spat out the tea she was drinking.

This was the first time she had realized how incredibly audacious Suika —she was audacious enough to threaten Terra.

Even Chen was quite frightened by Suika's words. He might not be in any danger if she said those words, but Suika would probably suffer a lot.
