Chapter 299 [Friend or Foe?]

When the day dawned, the banquet ended, and everyone rode back to the house in a carriage. And Count Villa warmly invited everyone, only saying that today is the East of the Warcraft of Mount Teland, and it should be up to him to change it. Everyone exchanged pleasantries and went back on their own roads.

Du Wei sat in the carriage and fell asleep for a while to close his eyes and recuperate, tonight's meeting, after the transaction, everyone benefited. Although Du Wei seems to have conceded some benefits, neither of the Delan Mountain Demon Beast and Count Villa are fools, and there will inevitably be expressions in the future. Du Wei is not in dìdū, although he has a noble title, but people have been out of this core of power for too long, and there is always something bad. These two guys have a good relationship with themselves in dìdū, and they can always help themselves talk about many things.

As for the money...... Dewey was not a profit-seeking businessman at heart. He's already rich, and he earns less, and he doesn't care.

In the wee hours of the morning, although the curfew at the gates of Dìdū had not been lifted, the gates were closed and no one was allowed to enter or leave. But what is Du Wei's identity? He has the entry and exit permit issued by Prince Chen, so he will naturally enter the city smoothly.

The carriage went all the way into the dìdū, and in the early hours of the morning, the streets were naturally empty and the night was hazy. Only occasionally in the distance on the street, the sound of patrolling vigilante soldiers, leather boot owls, walked by. Other than that, because it was winter, there wasn't even a bird's call.

Du Wei was resting in the carriage when he suddenly felt the speed of the car drop sharply. Even though this carriage was modified by Du Wei Jīng's heart. The shock resistance effect is excellent, and it stops suddenly. Du Wei also felt a sudden pause under him. When he opened his eyes, he heard the awe-inspiring voice of the coachman, Lufik, "Lord." Master, there is someone blocking the road in front. ”

Du Wei frowned, with his identity, he was in the dìdū, in the middle of the night, who would dare to block his way? Could it be an assassin?

Then I heard the voices of several accompanying guards outside.

On the long street. In front of the street. There stood a tall, thin figure. The man was dressed in a typical servant's gray garment. But he wore a square hat on his head, and stood alone in the middle of the street, in the night. I couldn't see the face clearly, but it was blocking the way of the carriage.

The two tulip guards who were driving the road in front of the carriage had already greeted them. Faithful guard, his hand is pressed on the hilt of his sword. He was shouting and asked, "Who dares to stand in the way! Get out of the way!"

But the man on the street didn't seem to hear at all. Just stand on the road. It's weird. There seemed to be such a strange aura on this person, and several Tulip family guards looked at him from a distance. I couldn't help but feel a strange chill in my heart.

In the middle of the night. It seems that there is such a faint and cold look in his eyes. All the guards and horses under their crotches involuntarily took a few steps back. Let the guards immediately shout and drive. But the war horse seemed to be frightened, and did not dare to move forward.

Some of the seasoned guards had sensed that something was wrong, jumped off their horses, drew their weapons, and pressed forward.

At this moment, the gray figure on the street sighed faintly, and a slightly tired voice came: "Lord Tulip." Please come out and see you. ”

The guards led by the leader shouted: "Who are you, do you want to see the Duke whenever you want!"

After speaking. He glanced at his companion. Three or five men forced over in a semi-encircled formation.

That's when it happened. Du Wei had already pushed open the carriage door and walked down by himself, shouting to his guards, "Stop". Then he walked to the front. Glancing at Lufik, who was sitting in the carriage driver's seat, shivering. Then he frowned and looked at the man in the distance: "Who are you, why are you seeing me?"

Du Wei also had some jǐng in his heart. Although the man stood far away, he had the skills of Du Wei as a magician. His facial features are ten times sharper than ordinary people, let alone such a distance. Even if it is farther away, in the middle of the night, Du Wei should still be able to see each other clearly.

But this guy stood there, no matter how carefully Du Wei looked at it, his shadow seemed to have melted into the night, and it was one with the dark night, no matter how you looked at it, it was such a vague gray shadow, even Du Wei couldn't see this person's appearance clearly-this was obviously a special spell or means used by the other party.

When the gray figure saw Du Wei come out, his voice seemed to be a little warmer, and it was not so ghostly: "Duke Tulip, it's not that I want to see you, it's my master who wants to see you." ”

Du Wei frowned: "Who is your master?"

This person seemed to smile, and in the midst of the laughter, Du Wei's eyes lit up, and he saw that the air in front of this person was suddenly distorted, and the dark night that was originally shrouded around his body seemed to be much clearer, and it didn't look so blurry, and his face finally became clear little by little.

This man has a thin face, a pointed chin, and a bit of a sharp-beaked monkey's cheeks. If ordinary people have such a look. It's a little bit obscene. But this person, although he looks like this, there is a solemnity between his eyebrows. It is really impossible to have half contempt for his ugly appearance, but it is faintly awe-inspiring.

This person's eyes were very bright, his gaze was on Du Wei, and a faint smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. Then he raised his left arm, stretched out his left hand hidden in his sleeve, and with a flick of his fingers, his fingertips immediately conjured up a silvery white frozen cold air, and in the distance, he seemed to be magical, and a ball of white light quickly condensed on his fingertips, and in the light, countless subtle ice edges flew......

When Du Wei saw him like this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a smile appeared on his face: "Well, I know who your master is." Well...... Since he came to invite me, why did he block the road here in the middle of the night? As the master, you can go to the Duke's palace to see me in the middle of the day. ”

The man seemed to smile. Only this time in the laughter. There was a hint of mockery: "The Duke is very busy, the master said." When you come back this time, I'm afraid you may not be willing to come and meet. Otherwise. The host helps you so much. But it's been two days since you returned to dìdū. Instead of coming. I didn't send anyone to send a message, which is really disappointing. ”

Facing such people. Such a tone. Du Wei's guards all showed anger. With Du Wei's current identity, who would dare to speak to him in such a mocking tone?

Du Wei seemed to be very polite to this person: "Hmm." You're right. It was my rudeness. I will go with you to your master. ”

After speaking. Regardless of the opposition of his subordinates. Du Wei asked his men to go back to the Duke's Palace by themselves. They were not allowed to follow. Then a man walked up a few steps on his own. He smiled and said, "Where is your master?" ”

The man snorted twice, didn't say much, turned and walked to the other side of the street.

Du Wei walked after him, and the guards behind him were about to catch up. Far away, Du Wei shouted: "No one is allowed to follow!

At dawn. dìdū long street. In front of him, a gray-clad servant clasped his hands behind his back. Give and do. Behind, Du Wei, dressed in a fancy costume, followed him, and the distance between the two was faintly about ten meters. Du Wei quickened his pace several times. But the guy in front of him seems to be deliberately keeping a distance, Du Wei is fast and he is fast, and Du Wei is slow and he is slow. It's always a delicate 10-meter distance.

Du Wei was determined. This guy definitely has a special ability, watch him walk. The body is fast. Faintly, there is a feeling of fluttering. Probably a special martial arts. Plus the kind of chill he just showed in his hand. Du Wei's guess was more confirmed.

Both of them were thaumaturgical people, and they just went all the way. It's fast. Before dawn. It has already walked from the east of the city to the west of the city. And then all the way north......

This man seemed to be extremely familiar with the route of the night patrol of the soldiers of the Sheriff's Office in Dìdūli. Walk in front of you, left and right. Along the way, all the patrol soldiers of the Sheriff's Department were avoided, and no one disturbed the two.

Finally, we finally came to the riverside of the Lancang Canal in the north of Dìdū City.

This section of the Lancang Canal is the largest wharf in the city. When Du Wei's father, Count Raymond, returned triumphantly from the South Seas. Grand ceremonies also take place here.

In the middle of the night. The huge majestic harbor within this dìdū resembles a sleeping beast in the silhouette of the night. Several were specially built. Enough to moor the Poseidon-class large ship dock, which extends to the course of the canal.

It is at both ends of Palembang within this dìdū. Along the banks of the Grand Canal. But it has spawned a piece of prosperity. Especially at the upstream end, there are many merchants who have opened teahouses and restaurants here, so beside the riverside. Climb the tower to overlook the city view and the sails above the Grand Canal, and at the same time taste the wine and food, which is really a very elegant enjoyment. Therefore, this place can be regarded as a very famous party in dìdū.

It's just at dawn now. Far away. Palembang. It's quiet, only a few boats moored here, a little bit ***. And there are some hard-working workers who get up early in the harbor and start working. It's just quiet.

And the restaurant on both sides of the teahouse. It is not yet open, and the streets are quiet.

Du Wei followed the man, all the way here, but headed north. Walking along this riverview avenue on the banks of the Grand Canal, at last suddenly at a bend, the man walked to the side of the road, pushed open a door, and in a flash of his body was already inside.

Du Wei was calm, followed to this door, and looked up, but it was a small teahouse. On this bustling street, it looks a little shabby, but from the layout of this door, there is still a bit of something special - above the door of this teahouse, there is a sign that reads:

"The Vulgar Don't Get In"

When Du Wei saw such a line of words, he couldn't help but smile, pushed the door and walked in.

In this small building, the downstairs is empty, except for a rather dilapidated looking wooden staircase going up. The person from before has already gone up. Du Wei did not hesitate and went up the stairs. When I got upstairs, I saw a screen in front of me. Du Wei turned the screen and saw the upstairs.

On the second floor is a small hall. There are windows on all sides. But at the moment, only the windows on the side facing the Grand Canal were wide open. In the early morning, a cold wind blew in. It was still very cold in the house.

On the window side, a man had his back to Du Wei. Sitting by the window, there is a silver kettle in front of him. Two small cups. Judging from his back, this person is quite old. The spine didn't seem to be straight, and the body was shrunk in the chair. It was so cold in the room. But he didn't close the window, and let the cold wind blow like this. It's just a thick blanket on his body.

The man in gray who led Du Wei to come. Just standing quietly behind this man. Stand with your hands down. It's like a statue.

Du Wei let out a long sigh, then looked at the person's back and smiled: "Look at the river." The scenery is good though. But it's getting too cold now—are you so excited to invite me for a drink so early in the morning?"

After speaking. He laughed and took two steps. The man doesn't look back either. It was only the old man's voice that came: "Lord Duke is busy. If you don't pick this time, I'm afraid you won't be available. ”

Du Wei walked up slowly. But he said, "You're welcome, if it's your invitation." Anytime. Even if I squeeze it, I have to squeeze out time. Why bother with your master's trip......? I was surprised just now, when. This—the frosty fighting spirit—has become so worthless? Any passer-by who stops me in the middle of the night uses it casually. I'm afraid that it is a person like you who can teach this kind of master apprentice. ”

The man smiled faintly: "He's not my apprentice. It's just a caring person by my side. ”

Du Wei had already walked in front of him. He sat down on the chair in front of the man so generously. He picked up the silver kettle and an empty cup on the table. Pour yourself a glass. Took a sip. Then he frowned and said, "I guessed wrong." Sit by the river. Such cold weather. It's best to drink a pot of mulled wine. It's a very elegant thing. But you are such a powerful person. Why do you only drink water? It's too bland and tasteless, isn't it?"

The man raised an eyebrow. He smiled slightly, "Haven't you heard a word about it, Lord Duke...... The more you drink, the warmer it gets. My heart has been cold for decades. Drinking water is just right for a chilling person like me. ”

As he spoke, he lifted his thin, old hand. Pointing to the open window, he smiled and said, "Lord Duke, please take a look." It's windy and cold. It's bitter cold for others, but it's ...... for me This feeling of cold wind hitting the body. But it's 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 chilling heart-warming pleasure. Then he laughed: "Do you miss it? Well, you miss the cold on the snowy mountain, right? ”

Blue Ocean didn't laugh. The old face seemed to be lost in thought. It's been a long time. His eyes were bright. Only then did a hint of helplessness flash: "Du Wei." You're right, I really miss the Great Snow Mountain. There though it was icy and snowy. But there. My heart is warm. And although dìdū is warm, my heart is cold. ”

Du Wei smiled sassily: "Since that's the case." I'm a warm-hearted person. Let's drink a glass of cold water with you!"

He took a sip of the cold water from his cup and let out a long breath. With a wry smile: "I never thought of it. Drinking such a glass of ice water in such a cold weather is such a pleasant feeling. ”

Lan Hai coughed twice, and the gray-clothed servant behind him immediately looked at him with a concerned expression. Lan Hai waved his hand, indicating that he was fine, but he wrapped the blanket on his body tightly, he looked a little weak, looked at Du Wei, and said with a smile: "Lord Duke, you took my eighty disciples and came back to dìdū, and you didn't come to meet me, it's a little too unreasonable." ”

Du Wei's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Lanhai, when you gave me those eighty apprentices, your intention may not be simple. Of course, I naturally appreciate your help, but ...... Before I see you, I must have to understand one thing. ”

"What's the matter?"

Du Wei put down the cup in his hand, stared at the blue sea, and then said slowly, word by word: "When we say goodbye, you and I are enemies or friends?"

As soon as the words fell, the room was already full of solemn murderous aura!!
