The wide river is just a few dozen paces away.

Du Wei stood on the shallows by the river, the soil under his feet was faintly red, and he said wordlessly that just two or three months ago, tens of thousands of people had fought to the death here, and tens of thousands of people had used their blood to dye this soil red.

At this moment, facing the light wind, close your eyes, and listen carefully, as if in the sound of the wind, there are still the sounds of shouts and killings on the battlefield—the golden iron horse, the roar of iron hooves, the roar of warriors, and the collision of metal, and the shrill and piercing sound of weapons piercing into flesh and blood, and the sound of bones shattering......

Du Wei sighed, he carried several large leather bags in his hand, unscrewed the lid, and sprinkled the wine full of the leather bags into the soil, and the fine wine was poured into the soil, and soon seeped down......

As if looking at the water on the ground a little blankly, Du Wei sighed and muttered a few words in a low voice.

After the two large bags of wine were emptied, Du Wei stepped forward again, strode to the river, stood on the bank, unscrewed the last wine bag in his hand, and poured the wine into the river......

There seemed to be a deep solemnity on his face, and in the distance, on the other side of the river, the castle built by the sinners was faintly visible, and on the other side of the river, there were some wolf riders patrolling back and forth, and even from such a distance, Du Wei could feel the murderous and hateful eyes of the orcs! After standing on the river bank for half an hour, Du Wei suddenly smiled, as if talking to himself: "Do you know? I really want to chant two lines of poetry to express my emotions now, but unfortunately...... I'm a rough person, and I almost don't know anything about poetry. ”

There was a chuckle behind him, with a hint of indifference, obviously a very soft voice, but it sounded like an eternal chill.

"You are the famous Duke of Tulip. Everyone will praise you for your erudition when they talk about you. If you say that you are a rough person, I am afraid that others will think that you are hypocritical!"

Du Wei smiled. Only then did he turn around and look behind him, the woman standing in front of him. Looking at the other party's long golden hair - and, although I have seen it many times, every time I look at it, I still feel a stunning face, and. The eyes that are forever closed.

"Hypocrisy...... Well, you're starting to learn to use the word. You know, this word is the most widely used adjective for the human race. Du Wei said, his eyes falling on her hair: "Your hair grows so fast." It's only been a few days, and it's grown so long again. ”

Queen Medusa, Miss Nicole just stood in front of Du Wei, in the sun. Her beautiful face. It looks more and more moving and soulful. A trace of arc appeared at the corner of her mouth, and a smile spread on her face little by little: "Du Wei, isn't it hypocritical that you left so many things in the city and hid here to put on such a compassionate appearance?"

Du Wei's face changed, he no longer smiled, he took a deep breath, and there was a trace of tiredness in his eyes: "Nicole, you don't understand." Although you have learned a lot. But you won't understand how I'm feeling right now...... You don't know what it's like to see tens of thousands of my men die on the battlefield under my orders. I remember when I led the army from Yajin City to counterattack, I watched the countless warriors cheer for me and serve me. At that time. I felt like I had a sense of contentment in controlling everything. But in the blink of an eye, these rìzi came. When the people who used to cheer for me and swear to die for me, I don't know how many died here......"

He pointed to the river beach around him, and the river in front of him: "Those people, they were still screaming, roaring, excited, crazy a moment ago. In the next moment, he collapsed here, turning into a cold corpse. When he said this, his face was even more ugly, as if he was a little tired, and his voice was lowered: "Nicole, if I tell you that I came here today to remember them, I really feel a little guilty in my heart, I really feel a little emotional, and it is not your so-called hypocrisy...... You, believe it or not?"

Queen Medusa, Miss Nicole did not answer immediately, she tilted her head slightly, this posture made her look even more moving, as if she listened to the wind for a while, she opened it gently

"I believe it. ”

Du Wei's face showed a hint of emotion, he bent down and grabbed a handful of dirt in his hand: "Look, I don't know how much blood seeps into this soil." I think that in a few years, when there will be no war, if this land is turned into farmland, the land here will be very fertile. ”

His voice was a little cruel, and his fingertips were slightly forced, gently crushing the handful of dirt in his hand, and slowly spilling it from between his fingers.

"I never knew you were a sentimental person. Medusa said slowly: "I have heard that among human beings, only people who are weak can be sentimental. But with me and you, you don't seem to be a weak person. ”

Du Wei shook his head: "I am a sheep in wolf's clothing. Because in this world, sheep can't live, they will only be eaten. In order not to be eaten, I had to disguise myself as a wolf. ”

As he spoke, he took a few steps closer and stood side by side with Nicole, looking at the other side from afar......

After a long time, Du Wei whispered: "There is a secret, do you want to hear it?"

"Looks like you're really depressed. I've heard that human beings only want to share their secrets with others when they are depressed. Medusa smiled lightly, and there was a faint mockery in her smile: "However, your Du Wei's secret must be very interesting, I am willing to listen." ”

"Those sinners, our greatest enemies now. Du Wei said in a strange tone: "Those enemies who have killed a lot of humans and invaded our land...... But in fact, in my heart, ......"

He put his mouth close to Nicole's ear, lowered his voice, and said softly: "In my heart, I don't hate them at all, I don't feel guilty about them. ”

Nicole raised her head and glanced at Du Wei in surprise, although she never opened her eyes, but there was a surprised expression on her face: "It's better not to say this publicly, otherwise it will ......."

"Of course I wouldn't be that stupid. Du Wei snorted.

"So. Why?" Nicole tilted her head.

Du Wei put his hands behind him and looked at the north shore:

"We had beef and lamb on our table. Are we, as cattle and sheep eaters, guilty? Can. Are the cattle and sheep that we eat sinful because they should be eaten? Of course they don't. ”

After saying this, Du Wei shook his head: "So, who is guilty, and who is guilty?"

For a while, the two stood side by side, both silent, letting the breeze blow on their faces. For a long time......

Charlie and his attendants were stopped by the guards before they approached the Commander's Palace.

"This is a forbidden place!Please show your ID and identify yourself!!"

The soldiers blocking the road looked stiff, and the soldiers in other places around them also looked at Charlie and his party with indifferent eyes.

The little emperor's face was not unhappy, he tilted his head and looked at the attendants beside him. A head of the chamberlain walked up: "We have come from dìdū to see Lord Tulip." ”

"Dìdū?" the guard soldier said coldly, "You are from the military department?"

"Uh...... It's just a personal friend of the Duke. The head of the guard spoke in a vague tone.

OK. After all, the enemies of the war against humanity are the races of sinners. Therefore, although the soldiers had a trace of suspicion about the other party's vague tone, these people in front of them were obviously human beings, and they could not be the enemy's jiān.

"Your Excellency has an order, no outsiders!"

The head of the guard couldn't help but be a little annoyed when he heard the stiff words of the guards, he was about to have a seizure, Charlie had already gently pulled him, and the little emperor smiled: "In this case, let's go back first." ”

After speaking. He himself turned around and left, and the guards around him hurriedly followed, and the head of the guard did not forget to turn his head and glared fiercely at the guard.

Hmph, when my group was in dìdū, let alone such a small soldier. Even if it's a royal noble. You can't be polite when you see yourself? This Duke Tulip's gatekeeper is such a big shelf!

"Your Majesty......" The head of the guard caught up a few steps. Whispered beside Charlie, "Look at our ......"

"It's nothing, just right, I still want to walk around more privately and see more. Charlie raised a smile, and there seemed to be innocence on his immature face.

The news that His Majesty the Emperor personally came to the front line to express his condolences to the soldiers and soldiers actually came very early. It's just that I heard that His Majesty the Emperor and his entourage were still walking slowly on the road to the north under the strict protection of thousands of Imperial Forest Army.

Moreover, according to the previous decision, in order to ensure the safety of His Majesty the Emperor, with the dignity of the emperor of a country, he would not come to the front fortress. Here on the eastern front, the place where the army was rewarded was set up in Yajin City, which was a little later in the geographical position and safer.

No one would have thought that this little emperor who was educated by Du Wei, because he had heard Du Wei tell a few stories about "micro-service private interviews" a few years ago, really took this opportunity to practice and ran to the fortress before he was only a river away from the enemy!

Charlie, with a group of guards, took a few more turns around the fortress.

Fortunately, there are still many recruited laborers in many parts of the fortress, although they are the front line, but in this city, in these rìzi, there are still many patriotic human chambers of commerce will send some donated materials. Because the enemy is not human, there is no fear that jiān will be mixed in. In this fortress, there are also some representatives from the chambers of commerce within the empire.

Charlie and his party, in the fortress, are not too conspicuous.

It's just that after turning around a few times and walking a few streets, little Charlie didn't know that his every word and deed, every move, had already been secretly watched.

And one by one the news about His Majesty the Little Emperor in the city was quickly delivered to Du Wei's hands.

In the evening, Du Wei returned to the commander's palace, and he looked through a thin booklet sent to him, which recorded in great detail what the little emperor had walked in the city today, what he had seen, what he had heard, and even who he had spoken to.

"It's still a kid after all. Du Wei smiled slightly: "Do you really think that Weifu private interview is such a simple game?" ”

In fact, Charlie Jr. and his entourage left the large army of carriages and horses. Quietly went north, before reaching the fortress, when in Yajin City. It has already been discovered by Du Wei's men.

Du Wei is not a fool, such a group of skilled people protect a young and half-grown boy, plus he also knew that the little emperor came to the front to comfort the three armies, a fool can guess it.

It's just that since the little emperor is willing to pretend to be stupid and play this kind of drama that shows his wisdom and pro-people, Du Wei is also happy to cooperate.

So. Du Wei simply sent people to secretly monitor and protect, but he deliberately avoided it, and deliberately left an order in the commander's mansion: except for military affairs, he will not see any outsiders.

Even, he put all the officers who had seen the little emperor and recognized His Majesty the Emperor, including his younger brother. All were transferred out of the fortress. Lest it be touched. This game can't be played.

If you want to play a game, then play!

Du Wei could more or less guess Little Charlie's thoughts:

Play a game of private interviews with microservers, pretend to go deep into the grassroots, show your intelligence and wisdom, and show the advantages of being close to the people. In the end, he quietly came to the commander's mansion and met with himself in private, so that he was "surprised".

And then ...... This little emperor, I'm afraid, still wants to continue to play the trick of Corporal Lixian in front of him--hey, teacher. Behold, I have taken such a great risk to come to see you, and in the honour of my emperor, I have lost a large army of the Imperial Guards. Running to the forefront of this alone brought with me such sincerity. You're embarrassed not to appreciate it, aren't you? So, don't prevaricate with me anymore. Be honest with me - Du Wei doesn't even have to guess, this little guy almost must mean it!

But Du Wei didn't really want to get too close to the little emperor, so he avoided it.

Do you like acting? Very well, so you're going to do your one-man show by yourself.

Whether as an imperial duke or as a teacher, Du Wei had already tried to wake up the child when he was in dìdū, but unfortunately, it seemed to have no effect.

But unfortunately, in the evening, the little emperor's patience seemed to be much better than Du Wei expected. After going around the city, he went to a merchant group that went north to donate supplies and stayed overnight. And that same night, Du Wei also welcomed a special guest - the chief samurai of the court, the chief guard of the guard, Chick.

Cheek had come to see Du Wei alone, and he had brought a secret order with him, so the guards at the Commander's Mansion could not stop him.

After meeting Du Wei, the first thing this serious palace guard chief said was: "Your Majesty is well?"

Such a direct sentence made Du Wei unable to pretend to be stupid if he wanted to.

Du Wei could only smile: "It's fine." I set people around where he lived and it was safe. ”

"This is the front line, and the north shore is the army of criminals. Loftus-Cheek shook his head solemnly.

"A few days ago, I set a fire and burned the pontoon bridge after the war. Now, even if the enemy were to attack, it would take a day to build a pontoon bridge. Rest assured, they won't cross the river that easily. Du Wei comforted Chick.

Chick looked at Du Wei, his eyes were a little dissatisfied: "Lord Duke, since you already know that Your Majesty has secretly come here, why don't you take him to the Commander's Mansion......!

Du Wei pouted, that means: He is the emperor, he wants a private visit, what can I do?

However, Chick came, Du Wei couldn't hide, he could pretend not to know before, but now that he knows, he deliberately threw His Majesty the Emperor in the city, which is really unspeakable.

The next day, Du Wei personally and Chick went to the place where little Charles stayed, and with a team of soldiers, he took the little emperor into the commander's mansion in a low-key and strict manner.

Fortunately...... Chick is a native of Prince Chen, and little Charlie seems embarrassed to perform the "Corporal Lixian" scene in front of Chick in front of Du Wei - alas, Du Wei began to have a headache, regretting that he shouldn't have taught this little guy so many ways in the first place.

He wanted to tell the little emperor: Don't worry, your old man is already seriously ill, and he may hang up at some point, so you don't have to be anxious at all, just wait patiently.

But after all, I can't say that.

And it seems that this little emperor is really anxious to a certain extent now.

After Du Wei returned to the Commander's Mansion, he almost couldn't wait to send Chick away, and then finally found a moment to be alone with Du Wei, His Majesty the Emperor, who was less than eleven years old, looked at Du Wei with sincere eyes, and suddenly sighed deeply, with a hint of darkness in his eyes.

"Teacher, am I really so blind to you, or am I really dull and stubborn and unworthy of your advice?"

Du Wei was amused in his heart, this kid has learned to play this kind of "grudge" scene - it's a pity, if he is not the emperor, he is a good actor.

It's a pity, no matter how well he acts, he is just a child, in front of an old fritter like Du Wei, he will naturally not be deceived by his appearance, so Du Wei just smiled faintly, prevaricated a few words at will, calmed down a little, and then turned the topic away Little Charlie saw that his acting skills were useless, but he was not discouraged, but smiled mysteriously and said a word.

This sentence came out, but Du Wei had to pay attention to it!

"Teacher. ”

Charlie looked at Du Wei with innocent eyes: "Speaking of which, there is one more thing...... Well, I was on my way north and met a man who was Madame Liszt's sister, Miss Muse. ”

That's all there is today. The day after tomorrow for the New Year, I went out to buy a lot today, so there was less time to code words. Alas, the purchase of New Year's goods, as well as gifts to honor the parents and elders of both sides, hehe, the New Year hemorrhage ^^
