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

Zhao Hao scratched his head in embarrassment. "I have only been a member for a short time, so I am not very clear about it. Perhaps the vice-captain will know."

Xu Yan raised his eyebrows, "Deputy Captain? Is he very close to Xiao Luo?"

Zhao Hao felt an inexplicable chill and blurted out everything in his heart in a panic. After all, in his opinion, these were all non-confidential information. "In my mind, they are a perfect match made in heaven. Only the vice-captain in this world is worthy of our captain."

After saying this, Zhao Hao found that the surroundings fell into deathly silence. Even the breeze that had been blowing stopped. The heads of faceless servants popped out from everywhere, and the surging malice made his soul tremble.

Dying?

Did he say something wrong?

On the contrary, the big man sitting opposite him had an oddly calm expression and showed no malice towards him.

However, his smile became somewhat bitter, and the deep sadness in his eyes could not be concealed at all. He murmured, "This is also good."

"Young Master!" The skinny, faceless servant who had been standing behind him called out unwillingly.

The paler young man just shook his head, and all the faceless servants disappeared in an instant, and the courtyard was filled with only the three of them again.

"Did I... say something wrong?" Zhao Hao asked cautiously in a trembling voice.

"You didn't say anything wrong, and Xiao Luo didn't do anything wrong either."

Zhao Hao didn’t understand what he meant. Why would the captain be wrong?

"Let me ask you one last question."

Zhao Hao said seriously, "Boss, please ask."

Xu Yan only then noticed the way the kid addressed him, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "How is Xiao Luo doing?"

It was not until Xu Yan asked this question that Zhao Hao finally relaxed a little. "He is now the national male god of our Dragon Mansion, the strongest fighter. All the country's resources will be tilted towards him. He can have whatever he wants. I don't know if this is good for him."

Because the captain seems to rarely smile.

Xu Yan seemed to be relieved when he heard this, his face full of relief, "That's good."

"Did you call me here just to ask these questions?" Zhao Hao was a little bit unbelievable. He thought he would be scolded, but he didn't expect that he would just talk about daily life.

“These are very important to me.”

......

With Tang Ze's ability, he easily found Lin Susu and Chen Zhenyu.

At this time, the two were playing chess with the old men in the teahouse and chatting about all sorts of things. Seeing that they had nothing to do, Tang Ze did not go forward to disturb the good atmosphere. Instead, he found a corner to sit down, pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

Lin Susu's grandfather loves playing chess very much. She was always taken care of by her grandparents when she was a child, so she has learned a lot from them and her chess skills are very good. Now she is playing chess with an old man with white hair and beard.

"It's a pity for the young master of the Xu family. We watched him grow up. I don't know why such an outstanding person would end up doing such things as acknowledging a traitor as his father and selling out his country for personal gain. He would be stabbed in the back even in hell."

One of the old men who were watching them play chess heard Lin Susu asking about Xu Yan, and he started talking. After he finished speaking, he shook his head in anger. It was obvious that he had said such things many times.

Lin Susu, who comes from a military family, is very sensitive to the history of war, especially the Anti-Sakura War that took place at the end of the feudal era more than 300 years ago, because it was so tragic. This is a pain that the Dragon Mansion can never and will never forget.

"He became a traitor?" Lin Susu frowned, and her impression of the character named Xu Yan became extremely bad.

"Yes, not only that, he became an officer of the Sakura Mansion and came back to deal with our soldiers!" said another old man indignantly.

"Don't mention that bastard anymore. I feel ashamed when I think that this kind of thing came from here!" an old man shouted angrily.

However, the oldest old man sitting opposite Lin Susu was playing chess without saying a word. There was still a smile on his kind face, but the low pressure around him exposed the fact that he was in a very bad mood.

Lin Susu thought that this person was acting like this because he also hated Xu Yan, but...

Just as everyone's words were getting more and more heated, the old man slammed the chess piece in his hand hard on the chessboard, and the loud noise made everyone shut up.

"Mayor..." the person who spoke the most happily called out timidly.

The old mayor took a deep breath, left a word and walked away, "At least don't say that about him in front of me."

The identity of this old mayor is not ordinary, and he obviously has a story with the important character Xu Yan.

Lin Susu's eyes fixed, and she wanted to chase after him immediately, but as soon as she stood up, she suddenly met Tang Ze's eyes.

When did the captain come? Lin Susu was surprised and marveled at the captain's strength for the umpteenth time.

Seeing Tang Ze stop her with his eyes, she immediately understood what he meant and stayed to continue chatting with the remaining old men.

"Is that the mayor of the town?" Lin Susu broke the silence in the teahouse and asked softly.

"yes..."

"I don't know why the mayor, who is a member of the Dragon Party, would protect such a traitorous criminal."

"The old mayor is just too kind. After all, he is the one who grew up with me, alas..."

......

Tang Ze knew that what those old men said was the truth, but every time he heard someone talk about Xu Yan like this, he felt a lump in his heart.

He followed the mayor all the way to a remote and deserted alley, and then the two of them stopped at the same time in tacit understanding.

"Tell me, what do you outsiders want to do in our town?"

The mayor turned around, his kind smiling face was facing away from the light, his squinting eyes slightly opened, revealing a pair of scarlet, crazy pupils, and his voice was no longer as kind as it had been in the teahouse before, but hoarse and resentful.

Tang Ze touched his face, then looked at the old mayor whom he missed so much, and his throat felt bitter. "We are a group tourist here. We heard that this ancient town has beautiful scenery, so we came here by the way."

This is the background setting given to these players in the plot.

The mayor took a step towards Tang Ze, his body suddenly swelled and deformed, his voice became inhuman and distorted, and he said angrily, "Don't use such lies to perfunctory me!"

The originally amiable old man now looked like a swollen ball of flesh, nearly three meters tall, almost blocking the entire alley. Many limbs that clearly did not belong to him were forcibly sewn onto his body, with dense stitches cutting into his flesh, squeezing out blood and thick fluid, emitting the stench of a corpse.

Seeing the mayor in this state, Tang Ze's pupils trembled.

It wasn't because of fear. He had seen countless monsters that were countless times more terrifying than this in his life. He just felt sad.

When you first hear about someone's tragic death, you may just sigh: How horrible and cruel.

But if you knew the deceased and knew what a wonderful and outstanding person he was, then you would feel sad.

This was the case with Tang Ze, not to mention that this was an elder whom he regarded as his own grandfather.

"I..."

Suddenly, an extremely dangerous feeling appeared behind him. He turned back abruptly to fight back, but saw a dense network of hands entangled together like a spider web.

Whenever a hand reaches out to Tang Ze, another hand will immediately grab it, and this cycle will continue to weave a contradictory web filled with malice and protection.

"Little exile."

A familiar call made Tang Ze's eyes red instantly.
