Chapter 289: On the way to the banquet
From peace to chaos and then chaos to calm, everything that happened throughout the dinner party felt so unreal that even Hugo did not expect things to be resolved in this way, and that things might be more complicated and difficult to deal with.
But after thinking about it, Hugo was also enlightened, after all, Li Du intervened in a very short period of time, so how could the matter be easily resolved, and if Li Du's words were not cared about, then the result was very likely to be to go to force.
What made Hugo even more puzzled was that during the chaos of the whole incident, he did not feel any killing intent, and he did not see any blasphemer assassins taking the opportunity to kill Li Dushi.
When Gao Yang came forward, Li Du was only surrounded by the two Nuoqi brothers and sisters, and it can be said that it was the last good time to assassinate Li Du at that time, but the Assassins did not take advantage of this opportunity, and Hugo did not know if he was afraid of this situation, or if those people had other plans.
At this moment, Zhuo's father said to the people around him: "Everyone, it's just a little misunderstanding, please don't take it to heart, please continue to enjoy the next good time." As he spoke, the dance music began to play again, and the people around him quickly shifted their attention and threw themselves into the state of the dance party as if they were executing code commands, and this change in the blink of an eye was surprising.
Li Du looked at everyone coldly, a disdainful sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then he turned his head to Zhuo's father and said, "Although you have the word Haoran in your name, what are you doing... It's really not heroic. ”
Zhuo's father, who was also Zhuo Haoran, didn't care about Li Du's ridicule, he just said lightly: "I know you're very unhappy now, but there's nothing you can do, right?"
Li Du raised his eyebrows and said, "What? Are you provoking me?"
Zhuo Haoran shook his head and said, "If you still want to continue to be angry in your heart, you can continue to attack me, but those things that you can't solve still can't be solved now." ”
Li Du said: "As long as I want to solve something, there will be a way to solve it." ”
Zhuo Haoran didn't say much about this, but turned his head to Zhuo Zi, who was sitting on the side, and said, "Little elf, let's go." ”
Zhuo Zi's body stiffened violently when he heard this, and then he slowly stood up.
"Uncle Zhuo, I have heard the name of my predecessors for a long time, and it is really an honor to see it today. ”
Suddenly, Hugo's voice sounded, and he quickly got up before Zhuo Zi got up and came to Zhuo Haoran's side.
Hugo's move not only surprised Zhuo Haoran and Zhuo Zi, but even Li Du and Gao Yang didn't expect it at all, but soon a smile appeared on Li Du's face.
Facing Hugo, Zhuo Haoran couldn't help frowning, there was no disgust or resentment in his expression, but an incomprehensible emotion.
At this moment, Hugo smiled faintly and said, "I am fortunate to be able to dance with Miss Zhuo Zi tonight, and I am quite excited." Therefore, he did something inappropriate with a hot head, which made his uncle embarrassed and apologized. ”
Zhuo Haoran seemed to have finally reacted from surprise at this moment, and then he said coldly: "Just call me Mr. Zhuo." ”
Hugo smiled and nodded, "Mr. Zhuo." ”
Zhuo Haoran looked at Hugo and said, "The little girl owes your care tonight, I should say thank you to you." When Zhuo Haoran said this, his eyes fell on Li Du intentionally or unintentionally, obviously telling Li Du that I understand all your thoughts.
And Li Du just continued to smile, as if what was happening in front of him had nothing to do with him.
Hugo also smiled and said, "Don't dare to be." ”
Zhuo Haoran looked at Hugo, as if he wanted to see Hugo thoroughly, and said coldly after a long time
"Don't you dare to be? Is there anything else in this world that you don't dare to do?"
Hugo tilted his head and thought about it quite seriously, and then said, "I'm afraid of stepping on Miss Zhuo's foot when dancing. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned again, everyone's expressions changed differently, and Zhuo Zi's face immediately became red.
Suddenly, Zhuo Haoran burst out laughing, loud and full of energy.
Then Zhuo Haoran turned his head to look at Li Du and said, "I thought that the people in the temple were all crazy, but I never thought that there was such an interesting person. ”
Li Du shrugged his shoulders and said, "That can only show that you are very ignorant." ”
Zhuo Haoran nodded and said, "Maybe." ”
Then Zhuo Haoran said to Hugo: "Young man, what is your name?"
Hugo bowed slightly: "Xiaobei." ”
Zhuo Haoran paused, and then the smile on his face turned into a calm smile.
"It's a pity, it seems that we don't have a chance today. Good night, Becky. Then Zhuo Haoran turned around and left.
Looking at the back of his father striding away, Zhuo Zi pursed his lips tightly, and then he turned to Hugo and said, "Can't you tell me your real name too?" Hugo just continued to smile.
Zhuo Zi's eyes showed a sense of sadness and resentment, and then he said softly: "So... Will we meet again?"
Hugo said: "If you have a fate, you will." ”
Zhuo Zi nodded, and then looked at Li Du, and Li Du's gaze turned in the other direction, as if he had not noticed Zhuo Zi's gaze at all.
Zhuo Zi nodded, and then his demeanor returned to his former elegance and calm, and he saluted Hugo slightly, "Good night." ”
"Good night. ”
...
Hugo watched Zhuo Zi's elegant figure slowly walk away, as if watching an old friend go away completely.
"Tsk, if you want to break the girl's heart, why do you want to give her hope?" Li Du's voice sounded faintly in Hugo's ears.
"You know that this face of yours won't be with you for hours. ”
Hugo turned his head to look at Li Du and said, "Don't say it so easily, it's not your responsibility to get to this point." ”
Li Du said: "I just asked you to dance with her, but I didn't let you do other superfluous things." ”
Hugo said: "No way, I also want to spend a meeting in peace, I never thought that your majesty does not seem to work in the eyes of some people." ”
The playfulness in Li Du's eyes subsided a lot, and was replaced by a faint solemnity.
"What's the matter?"
Hugo shook his head and said, "I can't talk about disappointment, it's just a little unexpected." ”
Li Du said: "As you can see, the temple is not a temple, even if it is a holy place like the Vatican, there will be a few people with different thoughts in front of the door. ”
"Although no one dares to challenge the Templar's position of force head-on, provocations like this friction are inevitable, and I really don't want to solve this kind of fly thing one by one. ”
Hugo said: "Do you know who caused it?"
Li Du shrugged his shoulders and said: "I'm too lazy to know, maybe it's the military, maybe it's Sergir, maybe it's the blind date of Zhuozi that you stirred up, maybe... That's a play played by the father and daughter of the Zhuo family. ”
Hugo frowned, then said, "So?"
Li Du smiled: "It seems that you still haven't seen through the world." You have to be absolutely skeptical until you have the truth, and you have to be an idiot when you have the truth, and even the tree of truth is covered with vines called lies. ”
Hugo nodded, he agreed with Li Du's statement, and then his thoughts shifted to Li Du and said, "But there has been no movement until now. ”
Li Du said: "I didn't expect this, I planned such a good opportunity for them just now, but I didn't want them to take the opportunity to do it, it really disappointed me." ”
Looking at Li Du's rather regretful appearance, Hugo began to wonder if the provocation was arranged by Li Du.
Li Du said: "There is no value to us here. He then turned and walked towards the door of the venue, where the Notch siblings followed closely.
Hugo took a deep breath and was about to follow, but suddenly found that Gao Yang was looking at him coldly, Hugo raised his eyebrows, but his mind couldn't help but echo what Qi Zhuozi had said before.
At this moment, Gao Yang said to Hugo: "I really don't see that you have any charm other than ability. ”
Hugo grinned: "It's still your makeup skills that are superb." ”
Gao Yang nodded and said, "Indeed, if I knew this, I should have turned you into an ugly monster." ”
Hugo said: ...
...
When Li Du and Hugo walked out of the main gate, the convoy of the Templar was already waiting at the door, and Hugo, Gao Yang, and the Nuoqi siblings continued to escort Li Du to the car in a four-cornered manner, and Hugo and Gao Yang followed into the car.
The car started quickly, and the entire convoy sped out of the suburban hotel.
In the carriage, Li Du turned out a bottle of wine out of nowhere, and then poured himself a drink, he did not pour wine for Hugo and Gao Yang, and the reason was also very good, because they were guards.
Looking at Li Du's calm and cheerful drinking appearance, Hugo's heart unconsciously gave birth to a lot of boredom.
He said to Li Du: "If those groups will not assassinate you in a short period of time at this moment, then I will always stay by your side?"
Li Du said: "What? Isn't it good to stay in the Holy Hall like this? at least there is food and drink here, and it is very safe, and if the time is ripe like today, I can still find two beautiful women for you." ”
Hugo frowned and said, "It really doesn't look like it came from the mouth of the Templar Commander. ”
Li Du said, "So what did you think of the Templar chief in your previous impression, and did he keep a straight face every day without smiling?"
Hugo took a deep breath and said, "It's a lot, it's just..."
Li Du said: "It is difficult to draw dragons and tigers, it is not terrible to make mistakes in this world, what is terrible is to blindly believe that you have not made mistakes." ”
Hugo then shook his head and smiled, "I don't think the Templar is such a preachy person. ”
Li Du said: "That's just for different objects, if I don't bother to say these things to Qiu Jianlin." ”
Hugo shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, and then the rest of the light inadvertently glanced at Gao Yang on the side, but seeing that Gao Yang's face had a vaguely complicated expression, Hugo didn't know what she was thinking in her heart, women's minds are complicated, and Hugo would never rashly guess about this.
After thinking about it, Hugo continued to say to Li Du: "Although I am now the most wanted person in the world, I am really not an idler, and I have a lot of things to deal with. ”
Li Du took a sip of wine and said: "Wanted criminals are always busier than ordinary people, but those so-called busy things are often just asking for troubles, when your life is about to come to an end, you will find that many things are not so important." The thing that really matters is enjoying life in the moment. ”
Hugo said: "This is not like the words of you, a man who hates boredom, and I now seriously suspect that you also have a mask on your face." ”
Li Du said: "People are complex, and the real mask is here. He tapped his finger on his chest.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to let you waste too much time on me, I'm sure the group will come at me in a very short time, and I can smell their emotional scorching breath in the air. Well, maybe they'll attack us in the next second. ”
When Li Du's words fell, the carriage suddenly fell into a tense atmosphere, and both Hugo and Gao Yang subconsciously held their breath, as if they were testing the surrounding movements.
But nothing happened.
Li Du couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.
"Haha, you're really nervous, but it's fun enough. ”
Hugo exhaled and said, "I can't imagine how you got to where you are now." ”
Li Du said: "Strength, and a little luck." ”
Hugo smiled: "It seems that you are not only extraordinary, but also a little luck." ”
Li Du smirked.
Hugo then said to Li Du: "Speaking of which, I have a question, what is the identity of that Zhuo Zi's father? ”
Li Du said: "That's a long story, Zhuo Haoran and I are also old friends." The past is complicated, so I won't tell you in detail, you still need to know that Zhuo Haoran was born in the Holy Hall. ”
Hugo was immediately surprised when he heard this: "That person was a mecha knight of the Templar before?"
Li Du shook his head and said, "The Templar is a huge national armed institution, and there are not only mecha knights among them, just like not all the sheriffs in the Metropolitan Police Department, but also clerks and cleaners. Of course, Zhuo Haoran is not a cleaner of the Holy Church, his identity is a bit special, I can't reveal the details to you, you just need to know that he is by no means an idle person. ”
Hugo said, "Then why did he leave the Templar?"
Li Du said: "It's very simple, because I became a knight chief. ”
Hugo gasped when he heard this.
Zhuozi's father turned out to be one of the contenders for the Templar Captain.
Li Du smiled: "Didn't you think of it, haha, you must know that there are really many interesting things in this world that you can't expect." Now you finally understand why Zhuo Haoran tolerated me, but didn't treat me with respect. ”
"I tolerate it because I represent the Templars, and he is powerless to fight me. But in his heart, he doesn't have anything for me..."
Before Li Du's words fell, an invisible and terrifying force suddenly shook from under the car. In the next moment, Li Du's car had been blasted into the sky.
