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

If Xu Yan really cared about him as much as Zhao Hao said, then he would definitely leave a bloody door there leading to his strange domain.

He was certain.

"team leader!"

A voice called out from behind. Tang Ze turned around and saw Lin Susu chasing after him. He said coldly, "You don't have to follow me."

Lin Susu was unwilling to listen to Tang Ze's words this time. She looked at him stubbornly and said, "I am really worried about your condition. Let me stay with you."

Tang Ze knew Lin Susu's temper. He had watched the girl grow up. Even if he refused, she would definitely follow him secretly. It would be better to keep her by his side to avoid any problems. So he stopped refusing and continued to walk forward quickly.

Lin Susu's eyes lit up, and she followed Tang Ze obediently without saying a word.

The two of them arrived at their destination peacefully.

This is a huge banyan tree, with many red ribbons and pieces of red paper hung on it for prayers, which is quite similar to the legendary Yue Lao tree.

When Lin Susu came back to her senses from the shock, Tang Ze was no longer around. She called out to him a few times anxiously, but there was no response.

"Here." A calm and indifferent voice sounded beside him.

Lin Susu looked in the direction of the sound and saw Tang Ze standing at the door of a rather shabby wooden house.

She immediately trotted over, but was stopped outside by Tang Ze, "You can't come in, just stand at the door."

"Why? Is there some curse or power in there that I can't bear?" Lin Susu's expression immediately became serious.

Tang Ze turned and walked into the house, "Private space, respect privacy."

"Oh..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Susu could only stand obediently at the door, but Tang Ze didn't tell her not to look, so she stretched her neck and looked inside.

The cabin is very small, with only a small window besides the wooden door. It looks shabby from the outside, but the interior is extremely warm and comfortable. There is a wooden bunk bed on one wall, and large and small wooden shelves on the other three walls. The shelves are filled with various things, most of which are related to painting and music.

Lin Susu also saw some neatly arranged painting supplies and a violin that looked very expensive in the corner.

It was just covered in dust, obviously no one had been there for a long time.

Tang Ze took out a junk item he got from a certain copy, the 'Eternally Running Vacuum Cleaner'.

Put it here... and started cleaning it seriously, which made Lin Susu stunned.

"What are you doing?" She even used honorifics.

Tang Ze replied as a matter of course, "Is there anything wrong with cleaning up the dust at home?"

"No, no." Lin Susu denied it helplessly.

How come his always cold and dignified invincible captain suddenly changed his demeanor? She was a little nervous, so she asked tentatively, "Is this the secret base of you and your childhood sweetheart?"

Tang Ze agreed.

The secret base of childhood is the most innocent and dreamy place in everyone’s mind.

In the beginning, he and the young Xu Yan saved money to buy this place, and purchased things here bit by bit, and finally built this place into a secret base belonging to the two of them alone. No one except the two of them was allowed to step in. This was the agreement between them.

Xu Yan looked at Tang Ze packing up with gentle eyes through the blood gate set up here, and then stood up, picked up the violin beside him, put the instrument on, raised the bow, and played. His movements were smooth, the music was beautiful, and the movements were graceful.

He should have become an excellent violinist, standing in the magnificent concert hall and enjoying music. His teacher advised him to go to his country more than once. He arranged everything for him, helped him immigrate, and made him the first violinist of the orchestra... and made countless promises.

It's just because he is so outstanding that he can remember all the music after just one listening, and each performance has his own unique charm. This is a unique talent and a natural musical sense that can never be exchanged for acquired efforts.

But for Xu Yan, none of this is as important as his country. This is his country, his home. He would rather give up his dream than give up her.

A melodious nocturne flows out from the blood-red gate of the mysterious realm, gentle and weary, carrying with it a strong sense of nostalgia and a touch of joy of reunion.

"Captain! This violin..." Lin Susu was frightened by the sound of the violin. He thought that the captain had triggered something bad, but was glared at fiercely by Tang Ze.

He had a cold face and put his slender index finger on his lips to signal Lin Susu to be quiet. Lin Susu immediately covered her mouth.

Tang Ze closed his eyes and carefully distinguished the direction from which the music came. However, he was fascinated by the music without realizing it. His mind was immersed in the music. In a trance, it seemed as if a hand gently rubbed his head, and then separated.

The cold and familiar touch suddenly woke him up, but now he was no longer in the hut, but appeared on the street full of Sakura Palace soldiers.

In the distance, there were pedestrians passing by in a hurry, with expressions of fear and caution on their faces.

"Sir!"

"Hello, sir!"

......

Greetings came from far away and approached. Tang Ze turned his head and saw two officers wearing brown officer uniforms, with samurai swords and pistols hanging on their waists walking towards him.

Looking at the cold young man with a serious and solemn expression, Tang Ze suddenly felt an impulse and wanted to rush over to hug him.

Finally, reason prevailed and he suppressed his impulse with great difficulty. He maintained his original standing posture and stood there, but his eyes were fixed on that person and could not be moved away.

"Hello, sir." He bowed his head and greeted along with the soldiers around him, and his eyes immediately fixed on this man again.

As he got closer, he also heard the conversation between him and the real Aikawa.

Xu Yan's face looked very bad. If you looked closely, you would find that the hand in his pocket was stiff, and his steps were smaller than usual and he walked more slowly.

"Aikawa-kun, I'll trouble you to be in charge of this area in a while, so be careful."

The handsome young man who was half a head shorter than Xu Yan nodded with a serious expression, "Yes, sir."

Xu Yan patted his shoulder with amusement, "Don't be too nervous, this is the center of the periphery. Even if they want to break out by force, they won't choose here. I'm just reminding you just in case."

Xiangchuan looked at Xu Yan's helpless smile from a close distance, and his ears slowly turned red. "I understand, sir."

As expected, Xiangchuan likes Xu Yan.

Tang Ze gritted his teeth, especially when he saw Xiangchuan's eyes as he watched Xu Yan leave, he wished he could dig out this man's eyes.

"Hey, why are you staring at Adjutant Aikawa?" another soldier standing next to Tang Ze asked puzzledly, with a strange look in his eyes.

Tang Ze immediately suppressed all his emotions and replied calmly, "I just have a stomachache and need to go to the toilet. I am eagerly waiting for Adjutant Xiangchuan to come and ask for leave."

Hearing this, the soldier immediately smiled with an understanding expression, "It's okay, just go ahead, I'll ask for leave from Adjutant Aikawa for you later, don't poop in your pants."

"That would be troublesome."

……

Xu Yan stood at the corner, watching Tang Ze carefully avoid everyone and climb over the wall to enter the encirclement, and moved his stiff left hand.

This pain was too light for him and had no effect at all.

"Hahahaha!" Suddenly 937's voice sounded, "I, Hu Hansan, am back again!"

Xu Yan raised his eyebrows, "Has the signal problem been solved?"

"That's right! You don't even care who I am as assistant officer! I had to fight hard to get this position!"

"Then you are great." Xu Yan said perfunctorily, and estimated the development of the plot. Using his understanding of the deployment, he easily arrived at the scene where the plot took place.

A middle-aged man with a leg injury staggered over, holding on to the wall. The shouts and hurried footsteps of pursuers were heard everywhere.

"There's blood here! He ran this way!"

Hearing the shout, the middle-aged man frowned and forced himself to continue running, but he was tripped by debris in the narrow alley and was about to fall and make a noise.

"Be careful." A strong arm held him, and before the middle-aged man could respond, a cold and steady voice spoke in time, "The crabapple blossoms are blooming in my hometown today."

The middle-aged man was stunned, and subconsciously continued, "The peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom."

“Haitang?!” The middle-aged man turned around and saw Xu Yan’s handsome and calm face. His tone suddenly became anxious, “You shouldn’t have come!”

"I can't just stand there and do nothing." After Xu Yan said that, he helped him run into an empty alley. He had scouted the route in advance.

A nearly inaudible set of footsteps followed behind them not too far away.
