Law of the Devil Chapter 299: [Is it enemy or friend? 】
Chapter 299 [Is the enemy or a friend? 】
The banquet was over when it was a little bit bright, and everyone went back to their house by carriage. The Earl of Villa invited you enthusiastically, only to say that today is the Deer Mountain Warcraft to be the East, and that he should come to the other day. Everyone trembled and went back on their own way.
Du Wei sat in the carriage for a while and closed her eyes. After the talk tonight, everyone got the benefit. Although Dewey seems to have given up some benefits, neither Deland Hills Warcraft nor Earl Villa is a fool, and there must be expressions in the future. Du Wei is not in the capital. Although his title is high, people have been separated from the core circle of power for too long, and there are always some bad things. These two guys have a good relationship with themselves in the Imperial City, and they can always help themselves to talk about many things.
As for money ... Du Wei is not essentially a profit-seeking businessman. He is already rich, earns less, and doesn't care.
In the early morning, although the curfew ban on the gates of the imperial capital has not been lifted, the gates are tightly closed and access is prohibited. But what is Du Wei's identity? He had a special permit issued by Prince Chen and naturally entered the city smoothly.
The carriage went all the way to the imperial capital. In the early morning, there were naturally no pedestrians on the street. The night was empty on the empty street. Only occasionally on the street far away, the sound of leather boots rustling through the patrol soldiers. In addition, because it was winter, there was not even a bird barking.
Du Wei was resting in the carriage, and suddenly felt that the speed had dropped suddenly. Even though the carriage was carefully remodeled by Du Wei, the shockproof effect was excellent. Suddenly, Du Wei felt a sudden meal under him. He opened his eyes, and the awesome voice of driver Lufick came from outside: "Master. Master, someone stopped in front of you."
Du Wei frowned. As his identity, he was in Emperor Capital, and he changed in the middle of the night. Who dares to stop him? Is it assassin?
Then a few accompanying guards shouted and drank.
On the long street, in front of the street, stands a thin, tall shadow. The man was in a typical servant's gray outfit. A round and round hat was worn on his head, so a lonely person stood in the middle of the street. At night, he could not see the appearance, but he was blocking the carriage's way forward.
The guards of the two tulip homes who have opened the road in front of the carriage have long welcomed them. The faithful guard, with his hand pressed on the hilt, was drinking and asked, "Who dares to stop the way! Get out of here!"
But the man on the street didn't seem to hear it. Just stand on the road. It's weird that this person seems to have such a weird breath. Several tulip home guards looked at him from afar, and a weird chill was born involuntarily.
During the night, it seemed that there was such a lonely cold stare. His guards stepped back involuntarily. No matter how the immediate guards drove and drove, the war horse seemed to be frightened, and he dared not to move forward.
Some experienced guards have noticed something wrong and jumped off Malay. Pulling out a weapon forced it up.
At this moment, the gray figure on the street sighed quietly, and a slightly tired voice came: "Master Duke Tulip, please come out and see."
The headed guard yelled, "Who are you, Lord Duke, whoever you want to see!"
After that, he winked at his companions, and three or five of them forced the past in a semi-encircled formation.
At this moment, Du Wei had pushed the carriage door open and walked down. The opponent's guard shouted "Stop!" Then he came to the front and glanced at the driver who was sitting on the coachman's seat, trembling Rufick, before frowning at the man in the distance: "Who are you? Why should you meet me?"
Du Wei also has some vigilance. Although that man stood far away, but Du Wei's ability as a magician was more than ten times better than ordinary people. Not to mention such a distance, even if it is further away, in the night. Du Wei should also be able to see the other side clearly.
But this guy is standing there. No matter how carefully Dewey looks, his shadow seems to have melted into the night. It's one with the dark night. Whatever it looks like, it's such a vague gray shadow, and even Du Wei can't see the person's appearance. This is obviously the special spell or method used by the other party.
The gray figure saw Dewey coming out, and the voice seemed to be a little warmer, not so amused: "Duke of Tulips, I don't want to see you, but my master wants to see you."
Du Wei frowned: "Who is your owner?"
This man seemed to smile. In the laughter, as soon as Dewey's eyes lighted up, he saw the air in front of the man, which suddenly twisted a bit. It was enveloped around him, the dark and dark night, as if It became clearer, and it didn't look so vague, his face finally cleared up little by little.
This man has a thin face, a sharp chin, and looks like a sharp-mouthed monkey gill. If you always have such a look, it will make people feel a little cumbersome. But this man, despite being grown up, was so indifferent between the eyebrows that it was impossible for him to be half-scornful of his ugly appearance, but rather awesome.
The man's eyes are very bright, his eyes hit Du Wei's body, a slight smile twitched the corner of his mouth, then he lifted his left arm and extended his left hand hidden in the sleeve. Immediately, the tip turned into a silvery-white frozen chill. From a distance, he seemed to be magical, and a white light gathered on the fingertips. In the light, countless minute ice Edge flying ...
Du Wei's eyes flashed with a smile on his face as soon as he saw such a hand: "Well, I know who your master is. Well ... since he came to invite me, why did he have to change it in the middle of the night?" Stop here? As a host, you can see me in the Duke's House during the day. "
This person seemed to smile, but this time there was a little taunt in the laughter: "Master Duke is very busy, the master said. I ’m afraid you may not come to see you this time. Otherwise, The host has helped you so much, but this time you have been back to Emperor Capital for two days. Not only did you not see me, nor did I send someone to send you a message, which is really disappointing. "
To such a person, such a tone. Du Wei's guards were all angry. Who would dare to speak to him in such a mocking tone as Dewey?
Du Wei seems to be very polite to this person: "Well, you're right, I'm rude. I'll see your master with you."
After speaking, despite the opposition of his subordinates, Du Wei asked these men to go back to the Duke's House by themselves, strictly prohibiting them from following, and then took a few steps on their own. Laughing: "Where is your landlord? Let me take it."
The man grunted twice and didn't talk much, turned and walked towards the other side of the street.
Du Wei stepped up and followed, the guard behind him was about to catch up, and Du Wei distantly drank: "No one is allowed to follow! Go back!"
At dawn. On the long street of the imperial capital, a gray-clad servant in front of him was holding his hands behind him, and he did nothing. At the back, Du Wei in a Chinese suit. But behind him, the two kept a distance of about ten meters. Du Wei speeded up a few times, but the guy in front seemed to keep the distance intentionally. Du Wei was fast, he was fast, Du Wei was slow, he was slow, and he kept such a delicate ten meters distance.
Du Wei decided that this guy definitely has a special ability to watch him walk. The body is fast, and it suddenly has a fluttering feeling, probably a special martial arts technique. Coupled with the kind of chill that he just showed in his hand, Du Wei's guess was more certain.
Both of them are magicians, and they move forward all the way, but they are fast. Before dawn, we have already walked from the east to the west of the city, and then all the way to the north ...
This person seems to be very familiar with the night patrol route of the soldiers of the Metropolitan Police Department. Walking ahead left and right. Along the way, as many as possible avoided the patrolling soldiers of the Security Department. No one bothered them.
Finally, I finally came to the banks of the Lancang Canal, north of the capital city.
This section of the Lancang Canal is the largest pier in the interior of the Imperial City. When Dewey's father, Count Raymond, returned from the triumph of Nanyang, the grand ceremony was also held here.
In the night, the huge male harbour in this imperial capital is like a sleeping giant in the outline of the night. Several pier specially built, enough to anchor the Poseidon class ship, extend to the canal. Above the river.
On the two ends of the Palembang in this imperial capital, along the banks of the Grand Canal, a prosperous place has spawned, especially on the upstream side. Many businesses have opened tea restaurants here. Beside the river, ascend the tower overlooking the city, and enjoy a panoramic view of the city and the Grand Canal. At the same time, it is a very elegant experience to taste wine and food. So this is also a very famous place in Diduli.
It's just now at dawn, far away, above Palembang, and it's quite quiet. There are only a few boats moored here, a little bit of light. And some hard-working workers who got up early started working at the port. It's just quiet.
The restaurants on both sides are not open yet, and the streets are quiet.
Du Wei followed the man and came here all the way, but headed north, along this river view avenue on the banks of the Grand Canal, and finally at a turn, the man came to By the side of the road, a door was opened, and he flew in.
Du Wei looked calm, followed this door and looked up, but it was a very small tea house. On this bustling street, it seems a bit shabby, but from the layout of the door, there is something special. On the door of this tea house, there is a sign that says:
"The layman cannot enter"
Du Wei couldn't help but smile when he saw such a line of words, and pushed in the door.
In this small building, there is no one downstairs, and only a seemingly dilapidated wooden staircase goes up. The previous person wanted to come up already. Dewey did not hesitate, and came down the stairs. When I got upstairs, I saw a screen in front of me. Du Wei turned the screen and saw what looked upstairs.
The second floor is a small hall with windows on all sides. But at this moment only the window facing the Grand Canal is wide open. The cold wind of the early morning blew in, making the house still cold.
At the window, a man with his back to Du Wei sat at the window with a silver pot and two small cups in front of him. From the back, the man was quite old, and his spine seemed to be stiff. He just curled up in his chair. It was so cold in the room, but he didn't close the window and let the cold wind blow like that, but he just gave him a thick blanket.
The gray-clad man who led Du Wei, stood so quietly behind him, standing upright, like a statue.
Du Wei sighed, and then looked at the man's back and laughed: "Looking at the river. Although the scenery this morning is good, but the weather is too cold now, you are really interested, so early in the morning May I have a drink? "
After speaking, he laughed and took two steps. This person does not look back. But the voice from the old land came: "Master Duke is busy. If you don't pick this time, please, I'm afraid you are not free."
Du Wei slowly walked up, but said in his mouth: "You're welcome! If you invite. At any time, even if I squeeze, I have to squeeze in time, why should you let this master of yours still run? How about it? Well ... I was surprised just now. When did this 'frost fight' have become so worthless? Anyone who stopped me in the middle of the night would use it casually. I am afraid It's someone like you who can teach such a master apprentice. "
The man smiled slightly: "He is not my apprentice, just a caring person beside me."
Du Wei has reached his ground. I sat down in the chair in front of this person generously, took the silver pot and an empty cup on the table by myself, poured a glass myself, took a sip, and then frowned, "This allows me Guess wrong, sit next to the river. In such a cold weather, it is best to drink a pot of hot wine. It is a very elegant thing. But you have a big identity. But why only drink water? This is too much Is it boring? "
The man raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly, "Did the Lord haven't heard a word ... Drinking wine gets warmer and warmer. Drinking water gets colder! My heart has been cold for decades, drink water It's exactly the kind of cold hearted person I am. "
Speaking, he raised his skinny and old hand, pointed at the open window, and smiled, "Master Duke, look here. Although the wind is strong and cold, it is bitter cold for others, for me ... This feeling of cold wind hits the body, but it is a kind of nostalgia ... "
Du Wei smiled slightly and took a deep breath against the cold wind. The cold air smelled into the lungs, and there was a kind of frozen heart and lungs. Then he laughed and said, "Are you missing? Well, you are here Miss the cold on Daxue Mountain? Mr. Lan Hai. "
Lan Hai didn't laugh, but his old face seemed to be lost in thought. After a long time, a flash of helplessness flashed in his bright eyes: "Du Wei, you're right, I really miss Da Xueshan. There Although it ’s snowy, my heart is warm there. Although the emperor is warm, my heart is cold. "
Du Wei smiled suddenly: "Since this, I am a heart warmer, let me drink a glass of cold water with you!"
He drank the cold water in the glass, then took a long breath and smiled bitterly: "I never thought that drinking such a glass of ice water in such a cold weather would be such a happy feeling. "
Lan Hai coughed twice. The gray-skinned servant behind him immediately looked at him with concern, but Lan Hai waved his hand to signal that he was okay, but he wrapped the blanket tightly on his body, his expression was weak. , Looking at Du Wei, laughed: "Master Duke, you took my eighty disciples, returned to the capital, and did not come to meet me, it may be too confusing."
Du Wei's eyes flickered and he laughed: "Mr. Lan Hai, the 80 apprentices you gave me at the beginning may not be simple. Of course, I naturally miss your help, but ... before I see you, I always want to Think about one thing. "
"What is it?"
Du Wei dropped the cup in his hand, stared at the blue ocean, and then slowly said, "Bye, are you or me an enemy or a friend?"
As soon as the voice falls, the room is completely murderous! !!
