Let's, or don't. This is the question before Du Wei.

Although the shaman's tone was quite polite, the meaning of his words made Du Wei faintly feel a taste of arrogance.

Get out of the way, search?

This is my territory, this is my territory! With the orders of your witch king, you can come and search my land as you please?

Why?

Intellectually, since the status of the Witch King is so lofty and inviolable on the grassland, it is not a good choice for Du Wei to clash with the other party now. However, things are not so simple.

Du Wei has just come to the northwest, and the time is not long, if at this time, the opponent's thousands of cavalry can enter and exit their territory at will, and their own army sees it, and they have to retreat...... What a humiliation is this?

When it is spread out, Du Wei, as a lord, can be regarded as losing face and losing his majesty! How can he order the northwest in the future? This place in the northwest, the land of tigers and wolves, the strong are respected, and if you take one step back, others will take two steps forward. If you show weakness a little, others will really look down on you.

Thinking of this, Du Wei's heart suddenly moved.

Northwest Army! What a Northwest Army!

What a warlord!

With the heavy responsibility of guarding the borders of the empire, he actually let the armies of these hostile forces go so casually, and entered the hinterland of his territory so casually! Those checkpoints guarding the northwest corridor. The Northwest Army's practice made Du Wei extremely angry.

Such an army, what is the use of it!!

Seeing that Du Wei's face suddenly sank, Longbottom had already roughly guessed the young duke's thoughts, and he said slowly: "Boss......"

"General Longbottom, what do you mean?" Du Wei narrowed.

"Boss, as long as you give an order, although there are more of them than us, but the old subordinates brought out by Lao Tzu are not vegetarians! Although these guys on the other side are jīng rui of the grassland royal family, I am not weaker than them. It's a big deal!" Longbottom was not blindly reckless, he whispered: "They have the advantage of strength. However, on our turf, they may not dare to open up and fight with us. It's not easy to win against them, but I'm still a little sure of pushing them back. ”

Du Wei nodded, then he thought for a moment, and then said loudly to the two shamans: "Your Excellency the two wizards, I would like to ask you two a question. ”

"Oh?" the two wizards looked at each other, frowning slightly. He glanced at Du Wei, but turned his head to look at Longbottom: "Lord Mossack, may I ask who this person is?"

Longbottom was about to speak, but Du Wei had already preemptively said loudly: "I am the lord of the province of Dessa, and the servant of the Duke of Tulip. ”

The two shamans nodded.

Du Wei's words did not arouse the suspicion of the other party, because Du Wei did not like the gorgeous clothes of the nobles in the first place. It's also very easy to dress up.

"So, excuse me. The two shamans said at the same time.

"I would like to ask Your Excellency. Du Wei straightened his chest and asked loudly, "Right now." The land under your feet is the territory of the Prairie Royal Clan, or the territory of my Roland Empire!"

"......" the two were silent.

"Your Excellency!" Du Wei's voice was louder: "At this moment, the lord of the land where you and I are feet is your witch king, or our tulip duke!"

“......”

"Excuse me, Your Excellency, is the flag flying on this land the Blood Skull Flag, or our Flame Tulip Flag!!"

Du Wei's mid-term voice echoed in the field, and when the imperial cavalry heard this, everyone was shocked, and they couldn't help but straighten up.

The two wizards frowned and looked at each other for a moment before one of them said in a deep voice, "This young gentleman, can I understand that you have rejected the order of the great Witch King?"

Du Wei sneered: "I'm sorry, you mentioned 'order, this word, I am a citizen of the Empire!, the great witch king, it seems that he has no right to give any orders to my law!"

A flash of blue air flashed on the wizard's face, and then he was about to get angry, but an old wizard beside him who had just spoken seemed to be much calmer, his voice was not so impulsive, and he said slowly: "Young sir, I think you may have taken this matter too seriously. That's just what the great Witch King asks of you...... Well, isn't it enough that this small concession can gain the friendship of the great Witch King?"

"Is it friendship?" Du Wei said loudly: "Excuse me, if our Lord Duke takes 100,000 iron hooves to the Prairie Royal Court another day and asks to search for a certain Duke's lost pet, such a move will also be regarded by you as 'friendship?!'"

The grumpy wizard among them exclaimed, "Ignorant boy, how can your duke compare to the supreme witch king!"

"Yes!" Du Wei laughed, then turned around and pointed at the cavalry under Longbottom behind him, and shouted, "I ask you!

Thousands of people shouted in unison: "Tulips !!"

"Tell me, to whom you owe allegiance!"

"Tulip !!"

Du Wei nodded, sneered, and looked at the shaman: "Your Excellency the shaman, I heard that even on the grassland, respecting the opponent is the least virtue! ”

The calm wizard smiled, "Please forgive my companion's gaffes, young gentleman. Of course, I've heard of the prestige of Duke Tulip. He is the youngest genius of your kingdom, an outstanding magician, a leader of the sè, and the youngest duke. The magical miracles he performed in the northwest, and the construction of a majestic city in three months, are legends that we have all heard. I don't mean to show any disrespect to Lord Duke, it's just that today's matter, the Witch King has a decree, we must find that pet, so. Forgive me for not being able to leave here empty-handed. ”

"Then, let the Duke decide. Du Wei said slowly: "This land is the only master. It's Duke Tulip! It just so happens that the Duke is here, and I must ask for what the Lord means. ”

After speaking. Du Wei didn't even glance at the two wizards, turned around and walked back into his own queue. The two shamans frowned. They had not expected to encounter Longbottom's cavalry in this remote town, let alone Duke Tulip would be here so coincidentally.

Although Longbottom and the others didn't know what Du Wei was doing, they all knew that this young duke had a lot of ghosts, and naturally they would not expose Du Wei's true identity.

Longbottom led the men to confront each other outside the town, but Dewey had already made his way back to the town. Outside the farmhouse, more than 100 people surrounded the farmhouse. Du Wei ran to the side first, grabbed little Sandy, looked at him carefully, and suddenly said, "Sandy, take off your clothes!"

Sandy was stunned, but Du Wei couldn't wait. In the past, he reached out to unbutton Sandy's clothes, and Sandy exclaimed, "My lord......"

"It's too late to explain, you take it off and listen to me. ”

Du Wei quickly pulled out what he needed from the storage ring he was wearing: a new robe in the standard aristocratic style. A new pair of leather boots, and some accessories. Then he simply brushed little Sandy's hair. After being dressed neatly, little Sandy looked like a little nobleman from the outside.

Du Wei took a closer look, and suddenly took out another black sè cloak. This was based on his black sè's magician's robe, which was draped over little Sandy's body, and he called Zig, the captain of the magic students, to take Ziggy's wand and hold it in Sandy's hand.

When dressing Sandy, Du Wei quickly explained, and little Sandy was dumbfounded, but he didn't dare to disobey Du Wei's intentions, so he could only dress up reluctantly.

Sandy's actual age is slightly younger than herself, but after she is fully dressed, she can't see much difference, and Sandy has also been much stronger since she came to the northwest. Although there are still many magic students under Du Wei, most of those guys are from the army, and the training of these rìzi has some military atmosphere. Only Sandy, after following herself, after all, learned a lot of rules and etiquette from Old Made, and it is not easy to show her stuffing.

"In a moment, you'll do what I say. ”

After Du Wei finished his instructions, he quickly walked to the farmhouse.

In the farmhouse, the red-haired monster was still by the muse's side, and the muse was no longer so afraid, but his cloak was very pitiful, and his head was stained with a lot of hay, and his face was stained with tears.

Du Wei didn't have the heart to look at this kid more, and directly looked at the red-haired monster and shouted, "Listen, I know you're the witch king's pet, right?"

The monster nodded.

"They're coming to get you, right outside. And you don't want to go back with them, do you?"

The monster immediately shook its head desperately, very resolutely.

"Then if you want to escape today, you can only choose to believe me. Du Wei said quickly: "Now I will give you two choices: Or, you kill this friend of mine now, and then you break out by yourself, even if you can pass my level, you can't pass the level of those shamans outside! ”・

A moment later, two shamans from the steppes finally saw the duke of tulips, who had made a storm not long after coming to the northwest.

This "Lord Duke" is as young as rumored. It's just a teenager who hasn't grown up. He looks pretty good, but he's a little thinner ̄ ̄ ̄, these nobles of the Roland Empire. They have lived in a sweet environment like Ma nǎi since childhood, where are we prairie men so strong.

The two shamans glanced at each other, and both saw the disdain in their companion's eyes.

However, the young duke's every move was still very in line with etiquette and status, and the black sè cloak on his body, which symbolized the identity of the magician, and the walnut wand, made the two shamans dare not underestimate them.

After all, the shamans of the Roland Empire are terrible, and the shamans of the steppe are very well understood.

Whether it is in respect of the magician, or in respect of the other party's title. The two shamans reluctantly dismounted and made a greeting at least to the grassland mountain.

"Lord Duke" smiled slightly. His smile was the standard aristocratic indifference.

"Two original guests. The duke, in a steady voice, said softly, "I am very concerned about your sudden arrival. I was surprised. However, with my forgiveness and kindness, I forgive you for not observing propriety. And I want your assurance that such a faux pas will not happen again. You know, even if a nobleman visits a friend, he should get permission from his master. For your land requirements...... Personally, I have deep respect for the great witch king of the steppe. But according to imperial decree, I can't allow your army to enter the towns and villages under my control, and it's no longer right for you to come here!, however, in order to show my friendship with the Witch King, I can make an exception ......" Sandy, who was pretending to be the Duke, did not give the other party any chance to interject at the behest of Du Wei. In one breath, he said all the words: "I allow two shamans and wizards to enter this town with your attendants to search for the lost beast you spoke of. But according to imperial decree, you are not allowed to bring in more than ten acolytes. And, after the search is over. I ask you to return to the grasslands immediately! Otherwise, any action by you will be regarded as a provocation to the sovereignty of the Roland Empire. ”

After saying that, Sandy didn't give the other party a chance to speak, and turned around and walked back to the town.

Du Wei stood aside, sneered, and looked at the two shamans with deep expressions: "Two Excellencies, please." ”・

This is the only best solution for Dewey. is neither humble nor arrogant, without tearing his face, he faintly expressed his dissatisfaction and toughness.

And Du Wei's sense of proportion is not bad. At least it seems that the other party has no intention of tearing up the face with the Roland Empire ̄ ̄ at least not now.

They also did not expect to meet the army of the empire and the Duke of Tulip here. After all, with a few thousand cavalry trespassing into such a far-reaching place in the territory of another country without authorization, this matter is not big or small!

Although the two shamans were dissatisfied, they did not say anything, and silently accepted the decision of the "duke".

Soon, they selected ten Jīng Rui's steppe warriors and led them through the ranks of Longbottom's cavalry and into the town.

There is no suspense at all. They got nothing in this tiny town.

The two monsters had already been received by Du Wei into the mage's storage ring. Although the two shamans searched the town carefully, they even came up with something that interested Du Wei.

It was a tortoise shell, as if it were divination, and a few small irregularly shaped bones were thrown into the tortoise shell, and a few words that Du Wei did not understand ̄ ̄ probably some kind of divination.

At that moment, Du Wei was a little nervous, but then, the two shamans didn't seem to have any results in divination.

From the disappointed looks in their eyes, they saw that their divination had come to nothing. Du Wei was relieved.

The other party withdrew from the town dissatisfied, and the three thousand steppe cavalry began to slowly retreat. Du Wei suddenly asked Longbottom to divide a hundred cavalry, and let these hundred cavalry "escort" the three thousand steppe cavalry along the way until they withdrew from the northwest corridor and withdrew from Du Wei's territory.

The cavalry on the steppe were annoyed by this move, but the two shamans endured it and acquiesced to Du Wei's side. Order no one to trespass. So, Du Wei's 100 cavalry, about a hundred meters behind the line of the steppe people, watched them leave all the way.

After leaving the town of Niuli, the two shamans sat on their horses and looked back at the town in the distance. The calm wizard suddenly said to his companion, "What do you think of that Tulip Duke?"

"Hmph. It's just a little kid. The irascible wizard disdained.

"Not bad. The calm wizard smiled: "Indeed, although the rumors are powerful, but see them today...... It's better to meet than to be famous. Then he paused, and suddenly sighed: "But the young servant who was talking to us beside him was well-founded and extraordinary, and he was a very out-of-the-ordinary fellow!"

Seeing these steppe wolves away, Du Wei's face did not show any relief. His face became even more somber, and then he immediately ordered: "Go back to Loulan City!"

The two monsters were stored in the storage ring by him. And the muse...... After that kid was rectified by Du Wei, he seemed to be completely afraid of Du Wei. Standing far away, he didn't dare to say another word to Du Wei.

After everyone went on the road, Du Wei hooked his hand to the muse: "You come here!"

The muse seemed a little afraid. Cautiously walked to Du Wei's side: "You...... What are you going to do?"

"Hmph, have you forgotten what I said, call me 'sir,' said Du Wei viciously, "you are not the young master of the Liszt family here! You are an ordinary man under me! If you can't remember this." Then you will suffer in the future. ”

"Yes...... My lord!" the muse gritted his teeth, his face flushed, but he had to squeeze the words out of his throat.

"Alright. Du Wei sighed: "Get on the horse, let's go back." ”

At this moment, Du Wei's face was suddenly full of exhaustion.

The muse looked at Du Wei's expression and couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Is there anything else to worry about this wicked man? An evil guy like him......

Speechless all the way. Du Wei sat on the horse and bowed his head in contemplation, while the muse cautiously followed behind Du Wei, although he hated Du Wei very much in his heart, he still couldn't help but peek at Du Wei's back.

After a long time, about ten miles away, Du Wei suddenly turned his head. Glancing at the muse, "You've been looking at me?"

The muse was startled and was about to shake his head, but Du Wei smiled faintly: "Don't deny it." I guess. You must have cursed me secretly in your heart just now, right? You watched me all the way behind me, did you still think in your heart that it would be best to give me a sword in the back while I wasn't paying attention?"

The muse's face turned even pale, because at some time just now, he did reveal this kind of thought, but when he thought of Du Wei's vicious appearance, he immediately dispelled it.

This guy ...... It must be the devil!, otherwise how could he have guessed what was going on in my heart?

Du Wei smiled lightly, his face was indifferent, but in his eyes, it seemed that he had already figured out something, and there was a faint firmness.

"Muse, you hate me now because I hit you just now. And do you know why I hit you?"

The muse shut up and didn't speak.

"Because you're stupid. Du Wei said unceremoniously: "Because of your stupid behavior, if there is a little accident, it will bring great trouble to me, to yourself, and your family! Aren't you stupid, you say?"

The muse blushed again, but did not speak.

"You hate it, whatever you want. Du Wei sneered: "It's just that I don't understand, why do you hate me so much? It seems that since you and I first met, you seem to be unfriendly to me." ”

The muse lowered his head, Du Wei was silent for a while, and said coldly: "Is it because of your sister?"

“...... Yes. The Muse replied in a low voice, with a hint of hatred in his voice.

After a pause, he suddenly raised his head, looked at Du Wei, and said boldly: "I began to hate you because I knew that the eldest sister wanted you to marry Angel! The eldest sister had to sacrifice herself to marry him for the sake of the family, but I know that she is not happy at all, and she has never been happy for a day! Fortunately, that bastard died early! But now, you have appeared...... I don't want Angel to follow in the footsteps of my eldest sister and marry a hypocritical and hateful aristocrat like you! You will only covet our family's wealth and use us!"

"But you're also using me. Du Wei said lightly: "Isn't your sister also trying to take advantage of my status?"

"......" muse gritted his teeth.

"So I said, you're stupid. Du Wei said lightly: "Fortunately, you are still young." When young people do something stupid once in a while, they will forgive. ”

"God?" the muse froze.

Du Wei realized that he had lost his words, and he smiled faintly: "Oh, that's just an old bastard. Then he looked at the muse and said in a deep voice, "Your stupidity lies in the fact that what you do is not going to improve the situation at all, but on the contrary it will make things worse." You're obviously well-intentioned, but you're making things worse and worse...... It's not stupid, it's a smart person who will find a way to make things go in a good direction, and you'...... Hum. ”

Muse snorted, "What about you? Why did you reject Angel again? Do you really have a crush on my eldest sister?"

"Hahahaha......" Du Wei laughed up. Then looking at this kid, Du Wei was good for a while. Only then did he put away his laughter and looked at this guy. He said lightly: "Poor fellow, you are really pitiful, do you think that I value the wealth of your Liszt family as much as others do?

The muse seemed to endure all the way in his heart, and finally couldn't help but ask at this moment: "You...... You seem to have rejected Angel, but at the banquet, you invited my eldest sister......! What the hell do you want!

Du Wei's eyes were cold: "You probably forgot my orders again, right?"

The muse seemed to be afraid of Du Wei's eyes, and his body shrank. He hung his head.

Du Wei didn't get angry, he suddenly sighed softly, as if to himself: "Yes...... What the hell do I want......"

When I first came to this world, I was confused.

This kind of confusion, if you don't put yourself in their shoes, is difficult for others to understand.

Before "crossing" on your own. It's not that Du Wei hasn't heard the word "crossing", at least he has read novels and knows the stories of those crossings.

But I really experienced it myself. But I found that it was really different.

In those third-rate novels, it will be written that after the protagonist crosses over, he will immediately "accept" the facts. Oh yes, Lao Tzu has crossed over, my parents and parents, I will be filial to you in the next life! Another world, Lao Tzu is here, and the beauty of the world is mine......

Bullshit!

An adult ...... Even if it is just a person who has just turned eighteen years old, and grows up to the age of eighteen in his own world, he naturally has his own goals, goals in life, career, and study...... And maybe this person has also been fighting for his goals for many years!

Emotionally, you may have your own lover, and even if you don't, most of them have a secret love partner...... Even if there is no such thing. Then at least there is a father and mother who gave birth to you and raised you!

What does the crossing represent? It means that there is a hand, without any resistance, gently and like that...... It's all wiped out!

The goal you've been fighting for years, and no, your years of struggle have become a pitiful joke!

Your kind parents, your beloved object, are gone! All these emotions are completely empty!

In those bullshit third-rate novels, as soon as you cross over, you will hug the thighs of other people's parents and call your parents, and your parents in your original world will forget about it in less than three minutes......

To say a polite word...... No conscience!・

What exactly does Du Wei want?

Say the truest thing: If! If you can! If God suddenly tells him now that you can go back! Then Du Wei will not hesitate to give up everything in this world! What a bullshit duke, what a bullshit career! He will not hesitate to return to the world he is familiar with!

What if you can't go back?

Then Du Wei's goal can only be secondary: he only wants to live more comfortably and zìyóu.

Thinking of this, Du Wei suddenly smiled.

The smile on his face was sincere and relaxed, and one word slowly came out of his mouth:

“zìyóu。 ”

"What?" the muse didn't seem to hear Dewey.

"It's zìyóu. Du Wei's voice was calm: "All I want is zìyóu." zìyóu and quiet life, do whatever you want, no one gives me too much stress and comfort. Make yourself as comfortable as possible...... It's as simple as that. ”

“...... That's it...... Simple?" Muse looked at the Empire's hottest teenage magnate in surprise. Even idiots know that the future of this guy is limitless...... But he himself only wants zìyóu?

"Aren't you enough now?" said the Muse, mockingly.

"You don't understand. Du Wei shook his head.

Does the world really make itself zìyóu?

At the beginning, he pretended to be stupid, but he didn't want to bear any family responsibilities (in Du Wei's opinion, what does family responsibility have to do with him?), so he would rather be sent back to the Rollin family's hometown.

In dìdū, he would rather anger Prince Chen than save the life of old Raymond, because Du Wei felt that he wanted to do that, and if he didn't do that, maybe he could get greater benefits ̄ ̄ but in that case, it would not be my true intention! Then it would not be me Du Wei! Du Wei only did what he wanted to do...... zìyóu, it's that simple.

And now, the rejection of the marriage of the Liszt family is no different.

"In my opinion, my definition of zìyóu is: to be able to control my life as I wish. ”

The Muse was silent, perhaps at his age, and it was difficult for him to really understand the meaning of this at the moment.

"But this goal is really difficult to achieve. Du Wei smiled bitterly and sighed: "The world is like this, if you fall into a ***, you will inevitably be forced by those things you don't like, and be pushed forward step by step...... But I just want zìyóu. ”

"With your current position, who else can persecute you?, isn't the Prince Regent of Chen, also very fond of you?" asked the Muse, who was finally puzzled.

"Really?" Du Wei smiled, "Here, in the northwest...... How many people are eyeing me? The Northwest Army, Governor Bohan, they don't want to drive me out of the Northwest all the time. Those steppe wolves, hmph, they're going to bite you anytime, anywhere! Can I do whatever I want in this place? I'm going to make sure that I survive first! And then everything else. ”

If I had enough strength, would that old fellow of Bohan be able to yīn me once when he first arrived?

If I have enough strength, will the Northwest Army dare to come to the door again and again to ask for money, and secretly put the steppe people into the defense line to give me an ugly look?

If I have enough strength, ...... today Those guys have come to my door with bravado, and I have already beaten them with the army so that they can't find the north!!

Du Wei felt faintly sad and ridiculous.

Because of the yearning zìyóu, in order to achieve their goals, in order to achieve their goals...... But he was forced to have ambitions!

Isn't that a joke?

Du Wei knew very well that he was stimulated today. Stimulated by those steppe people. He understood that at this moment, something called "ambition" was growing in his heart.

In order for me to be able to control my life as I like in the future...... In this process, any opponent who wants to hinder me and threaten me will be my enemy!!

Perhaps, the steppe people should regret it.

Because of their actions today, they woke up a young man who was still a little dazed.

Du Wei suddenly sat up straight on his horse, and pointed to the vast wasteland in the distance with his horsewhip: "Muse, what do you see?"

The muse was stunned for a moment, looked into the distance, and said tentatively, "The wasteland, Mount Kilimano, the road, the woods...... What the hell is it?"

Du Wei suddenly smiled slightly, lightly dropped a sentence, and then whipped his horse and galloped forward.

"The world!"
