Quick Wear: The Beautiful, Strong and Tragic Path of a Swordsman

"Are you Young Master Tang's current friend?" The servant's hoarse and strange voice emphasized the word "friend" with undisguised malice.

Zhao Hao suppressed the fear in his heart, took a deep breath to calm himself down, and asked, "Who is Young Master Tang? Is he the one who brought me here?"

The servant sneered in an ambiguous tone, then bowed slightly and made a gesture of invitation, "My young master invites you."

Although he was in a sunny courtyard, Zhao Hao shivered with cold. What frightened him most was that every time he wanted to attack the frail-looking servant in front of him, fear from the bottom of his soul would surge in his heart.

How did his captain offend such a terrifying existence? He should go find his captain. Why did he embarrass a weak and helpless boy who just came of age yesterday?

Although he was distracting himself from the fear in his heart with random thoughts, his eyes were still carefully observing his mother-in-law's surroundings, trying his best to obtain some valuable information.

But this deep corridor seemed to have no end. In a trance, Zhao Hao seemed to have walked for a very long time, so long that the whole world seemed to be filled with only the sound of his lonely footsteps.

……

The noisy conversations in his ears gradually became clearer along with the surrounding environment. Tang Ze found himself at the door of a large conference room. Both sides of the long square table in the conference room were already full of people. It was obvious that he was the last to arrive.

Some people looked at him a few times, while others greeted him familiarly. He still hadn't figured out the temper of the Aikawa-kun he was playing, so he just nodded politely in response, trying to say and do less to avoid giving himself away.

"Aikawa-kun." It was that voice again that could easily cause his emotions to fluctuate.

Tang Ze looked in the direction of the voice and saw the man sitting at the left seat at the long table, waving at him. The seat next to him was empty, so it seemed that was his seat.

He smiled at Xu Yan, walked over and sat down, then picked up the document on the desk and looked at it, looking as if he refused to communicate.

So he just missed Xu Yan's eyes which were filled with strong nostalgia and love.

Then the most important Lieutenant General Muto arrived and the meeting officially began.

"Today's meeting is to make arrangements to wipe out the entire intelligence headquarters of the Haishilong Party tomorrow." Lieutenant General Muto's majestic voice sounded in the conference room. He casually flipped through the general content of the plan, and then looked at Shandao who submitted the plan, "Shandao-kun, please explain in detail."

Shandao stood up proudly, first looking around at everyone in the room, and finally fixed his gaze on Xu Yan, with a mocking smile on his face, "This time, I was able to find out the location of the Dragon Party headquarters so smoothly, thanks to Maeda-kun."

Upon hearing this, Tang Ze turned his head to look at Xu Yan. He discovered that under Xu Yan's unbuttoned collar, a piece of bandage oozing with blood was faintly visible. His face was abnormally pale. Judging from the location of the wound, the person who attacked him should have been aiming for his neck and wanted to kill him.

Tang Ze's heart trembled.

Xu Yan sneered, and his eyes, which seemed to be icy, stared straight at Shandao. "Your behavior of using the lives of your peers as bait is enough to be brought to a military court. I will definitely write a letter to inform my father about this matter."

Shandao shrugged his shoulders like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, "Whatever you want."

Lieutenant General Muto saw the two quarreling again, so he quickly stepped in to play Tai Chi. After all, the two had powerful backgrounds, so he tried to smooth things over. "Okay, this time Shandao really went too far, this won't happen again, and if this happens again, don't blame me for shooting you."

When he spoke the last part, Muto's expression was very serious. As a general, he extremely hated this kind of behavior of using the lives of his comrades as bait to achieve his goals. Fortunately, this was not the front line. If this was the front line, no matter how powerful the forces behind Yamashima were, he would have killed him without saying a word. This kind of behavior would destroy the morale and cohesion of the army, which was intolerable to all generals.

Hearing the seriousness in Lieutenant General Muto's tone, Shandao could only lower his head obediently, but there was still undisguised malice in his eyes when he looked at Xu Yan.

After the entire plan was deployed, the task of the duo Xu Yan and Tang Ze was, as expected, the most marginal one - responsible for blockade and alert at the outermost periphery.

Tang Ze followed Xu Yan out of the conference room. He couldn't help but ask, "Is he seriously injured?"

Xu Yan paused, and Tang Ze also stopped naturally. He was already beginning to feel annoyed.

He couldn't control his emotions again.

Xu Yan turned around and suddenly took a few steps towards Tang Ze. The two people, who were already not far apart, were now only half a person's distance away from each other.

Tang Ze looked up and suddenly met a pair of inhumanly beautiful and clear eyes. However, the love that once made him fall deeply in love with her was gone. Only a smile was left on the surface. He chuckled and said, "Do you like me, Aikawa-kun?"

Tang Ze was confused by this direct question. Could the character he played be Xu Yan's admirer?

Seeing the calm expression on Tang Ze's face break, Xu Yan smiled in his heart. The mission objectives in this world were more interesting than those in the previous world.

Moreover, his appearance was still as perfect as ever in line with his XP, and even had a more cold and indifferent temperament than the mission target in the previous world. Especially his thin lips with graceful lines looked very kissable. His perfectly proportioned figure and meticulous officer uniform made him look really abstinent and sexy.

If the signal on 937's side wasn't really bad, he would definitely sigh to 937: I wish he was the kind of scumbag who would take everything and run away.

Unfortunately, he is not like that. At most, he will play with people's feelings, but he will not play with people's bodies. Even if he is a scumbag, he still has to have some bottom line.

Tang Ze looked at Xu Yan who was waiting for his answer and felt a little upset. How should he answer so that it wouldn't be OOC? Does this character really love Xu Yan?

Perhaps because he had remained silent, Xu Yan smiled good-naturedly and patted his shoulder, "I was just joking, did Aikawa-kun take it seriously?"

Tang Ze was as if he had been pardoned, and immediately regained his cold expression, "Such a joke is not funny at all... Maeda-kun."

The word "Xu Yan" almost came out of his mouth. He seemed to see the young man in front of him with an expression twisted strangely for a moment, and cold sweat instantly seeped through the clothes on the back of his clothes.

"Why is it so awkward to call my name?" Xu Yan smiled with curved eyebrows, but the next second he suddenly moved closer, with the tip of his nose almost touching Tang Ze's.

As the distance got closer, Tang Ze actually saw the deep-buried pain and sorrow in the depths of his eyes that had become empty and lifeless.

"You..." What on earth have you been through.

Tang Ze's first reaction was not to be frightened by Xu Yan's actions and expression, but to feel distressed.

However, Xu Yan's cool fingertips touched Tang Ze's lips, stopping him from saying anything else, "Shh."

As these words fell lightly, Xu Yan and the scene around him suddenly shattered, and he suddenly returned to the small town.

[Warning, warning, warning, important NPCs must not engage in OOC behavior. If you do this three times in total, the forced control mode will be activated. Once activated, the forced control mode will last until the end of this instance.]

A prompt sound suddenly rang in Tang Ze's ears. He suddenly looked up at the sky, his eyes full of bloodshot.

It was true that Xu Yan had committed an unforgivable sin, and he could accept that Xu Yan was killed by his comrades. But now Xu Yan had paid the due price, his soul should not be toyed with like this, and his past should not be treated as a game for people's entertainment!

What's more...Tang Ze turned his head and looked at the familiar figures in the town, but they no longer paid their attention to him because they were controlled.

Like puppets.

Tang Ze, who hadn't been angry for hundreds of years, was so angry that his heart ached. No matter what the origin of this strange game was, he would erase its existence at any cost.

......

Xu Yan suddenly coughed up a large mouthful of blood. His originally pale and delicate skin was instantly torn apart. There was almost no intact skin or flesh, as if he had suffered cruel torture.

He leaned against the edge of the stone table and gasped heavily. His fingers, with all the nails pulled out, were bent in an inhumane manner, leaving a twisted bloody handprint on the table.

"Master, a guest has arrived." A hoarse spy's voice sounded outside the courtyard.

Xu Yan struggled to stand up straight, and with a wave of his hand, the bloodstains on the ground and the table disappeared instantly, and his horrible appearance covered in blood returned to normal.

"Cough cough..." But he couldn't stop coughing when he opened his mouth, and his throat was full of blood foam.

After taking out a handkerchief to cover his lips and coughing for a while, he answered in a hoarse voice, "Come in."

The skinny faceless servant led Zhao Hao into the courtyard. He didn't care about etiquette and rushed to Xu Yan's side, leaving Zhao Hao behind. He supported him anxiously and asked, "Master, are you okay?"

After saying that, he wanted to input his strange power into Xu Yan's body.

Xu Yan smiled, shook his head and pushed him away, then waved at Zhao Hao who was staring at him in a daze, "Little brother, come and sit down and have some tea."

Zhao Hao was surprised by something strange.

He had been through quite a few copies and seen many gorgeous and strange things, but none of them was like this one.

He looks cold and pale but does not make people feel that he is weak at all. He is like a snow lotus blooming on the top of a cliff. He looks beautiful and fragile but is actually a strong and arrogant man looking down on the crowd.

To describe it in Zhao Hao's words: the temperament of a scholar and the eyes of a soldier.

Then he walked over and sat down as if possessed.

He regretted it the moment he sat down.

Help, will he trigger this strange killing condition?

However, nothing happened. The big boss even poured him a cup of tea strangely. However, the tea was a little hot when he held it. It was not hot in the physical sense, but he did not dare to drink it.

If anyone dares to drink the tea handed to him in a strange way, Zhao Hao would be the first to stand up and shout "Brother!"

Seeing that Zhao Hao was so confused that he didn't know how to refuse the tea he offered him, Xu Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

This guy's laughter is so nice, ah, I'm dead. Zhao Hao commented in his heart with an expressionless face.

"This is tea that you humans can drink." Xu Yan said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hao raised his teacup and drank it all in one gulp. His action actually annoyed Xu Yan, who didn't even have the heart to feel sorry for drinking his fine tea in one gulp.

"You just believe me that much?"

Zhao Hao put down the teacup and said firmly, "With your strength, there is no need to lie to me. After all, I can't resist anything you want to do to me."

Xu Yan twitched his lips. Although this was true, why did it sound so strange?

Then a trace of blood flowed out from the corner of Xu Yan's slightly twitching mouth, frightening Zhao Hao so much that he jumped up from the stone bench, "You can't commit fraud! I didn't touch you! You can't kill me for this!"

Xu Yan slowly took the clean handkerchief handed over by the servant and wiped off the blood, then smiled and teased, "Little brother, you have been cheated many times, right? Don't worry, I am not interested in you. Come and sit down. I will let you go after asking you something."

Zhao Hao carefully moved over and sat down, only daring to sit on the edge of the stone bench. He sat as obediently as an elementary school student. "Ask."

Xu Yan was very satisfied with his timely approach. He tapped the table with his fingers, asked the servants to withdraw the scary one-stop service, and asked, "When did you and your captain get to know each other?"

Zhao Hao didn't expect that this big guy would ask this strange question, and asked curiously, "Big guy, do you know our captain?"

The call of "Boss" came from the bottom of his heart and was very natural. Even Xu Yan didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Tang Ze's immortality is public information in Longfu. Tang Ze has encountered strange enemies in the dungeon before, but this is the first time he has met a strange friend.

"Of course, you've seen the scene before. Xiao Luo... This is the nickname of your captain. He grew up in this town." Xu Yan answered honestly. The gentle and nostalgic expression did not seem fake. "He and I have been childhood sweethearts since we were little." We were also lovers.

Xu Yan didn't say the last sentence in the end. His eyes fell on the empty ring finger of his left hand, and his heart felt empty and painful.

He could no longer be with Tang Ze, just like the wedding rings that had been lost in the long river of time and could never be found.

Zhao Hao, who was lost in thought, did not notice that something was wrong with Xu Yan.

If this is the case, then everything makes sense. No wonder the captain bound him directly as soon as he got the quest item. No wonder those weirdos would rather be punished OOC than stop Tang Ze in front of him to protect him. It turns out that this is his hometown and those people are his relatives and friends.

Zhao Hao put himself in the shoes of his captain and suddenly he felt so sad that his eyes turned red. Everyone in his hometown became weird. What this meant was self-evident.

Being weird is not something that can be achieved easily.

"So can you answer my question?" Xu Yan's cold voice interrupted his thoughts.

Zhao Hao took a deep breath, but still asked cautiously, "Can you tell me your name?"

Xu Yan was stunned, and a glimmer suddenly appeared in his dead eyes, "Did Xiao Luo mention me to you?"
