Chapter 337: Two Paths
A small shop on a cold night, a lonely lamp, a cup.
Such an atmosphere is really out of place for such a pair of men and women who can be described as enemies sitting opposite each other.
Du Wei didn't seem to care about the mockery in the saint's words, but just asked the waiter to bring another wine glass, and he poured it himself, raised the glass to the saint, and then drank it.
Neither of them spoke afterwards, and drank like this. Unexpectedly, this saint looked cowardly, but the amount of alcohol really made Du Wei look sideways. Du Wei had only drunk three glasses, but she had already drunk half a bottle.
By the time Du Wei had finished drinking the fifth cup, there was no longer a drop of wine poured into the bottle in front of the saint.
This woman is not wearing a veil today, that face is naturally beautiful, and with the smell of wine, her face is even more red, and between the flow of her eyes, she is naturally a little charming and moving. Du Wei couldn't help but look at it twice.
How do you know that although this saint girl was slightly drunk, she still reacted quickly: "What do you think I'm doing?" Hmph, Lord Duke, do you think I'm beautiful?"
Then he laughed: "Of course, Her Royal Highness the Holy Maiden is worthy of being recognized as a beauty, and she is naturally very beautiful." Otherwise, when the rì auction house, that unlucky straw bale young master will not be dazzled by you. ”
The saint sneered: "Hmph, are you mocking me for being seductive with beauty, do you have a ** share?"
After saying this, she suddenly stumbled, supported the table with her hands, raised her head, and stared at Du Wei tightly with a pair of bright eyes: "You...... What do you know?"
Du Wei didn't argue, just shook his head indifferently: "Yes, I really don't understand." ”
"Hah!haha!!" the saint laughed angrily, pointing at Du Wei and said, "When I was young. Or the princess of the empire, my father, everyone thought he was the future emperor. But only I know that he doesn't have a happy day! Finally, one day, in order to compete for the support of the temple, he actually ordered me to dedicate myself to the temple to serve the gods and become the holy woman!!"
The woman's voice was full of resentment: "Du Wei, what do you know! At that time, I was a little younger than you are now. It is the time of innocence, and life is full of dreams.
But he single-handedly stifled me! He wants me to say goodbye to my life and live the life of a clergyman who is extremely dull and indifferent! I couldn't play anymore, I couldn't dance, I said goodbye to all the gorgeous clothes, beautiful jewelry, garden, dance partners, and so on that all the girls in the world loved...... Even the crush of his heart's affection, throwing himself into the temple! Open your mouth and dedicate yourself to it.
Sitting and praying...... The most beautiful five years of my life have passed!!"
Du Wei couldn't help but sigh when he heard this...... Such a life, for a teenage girl. It's a little too cruel indeed.
My father told me that as long as he ascended the throne and became emperor. In the future, I will be able to find an opportunity to leave the temple! I will finally have a chance to get out of the sea of suffering! At that time, all I wanted was to hope that my father would become emperor! But ...... Just the year before last, on the day of the memorial service, that guy Chen, and you! My father was defeated and died, and you buried my life's hope with your own hands! In this world, I no longer have any relatives! Not a single one!!"
Speaking of this, the woman suddenly stood up suddenly, and stretched out her palm to Du Wei and waved it.
Of course, Du Wei knew very well that as a saintess of the temple, this woman was probably not a weak woman who was powerless. But...... me down, it's a bit of a brain heat, right?
Fortunately, however, Du Wei guessed wrong. The saint didn't mean to turn her face and do anything, she stretched out her hand, but snatched the bottle of Du Weidi's wine, and then poured it down without using a glass...... In fact...... She's just a wretched person.
Du Wei sighed in his heart and looked at this woman quietly: If there was no coup d'état, without my participation...... This woman really has nothing to do with me, and hatred is even more incompatible.
It's just that the impermanence of the world has pushed the two into a hostile position. And she...... In fact, originally, she was just a girl with a glimmer of hope in her heart.
After pondering for a while, Du Wei suddenly whispered, "Actually...... If you want to leave the temple, become a saint, and become a princess again, it's not impossible......"
"Hahahaha!!" When the saint heard this, her body shook suddenly, but then she laughed wildly, ** threw away the wine bottle, threw it on the ground, slammed it, and pointed at Du Wei with her slender fingers: "I thought Duke Tulip was eloquent, it turns out that you would say such boring and childish things!"
Then she sat down in her chair heavily, gasped for a moment, wiped the residual wine from the corner of her mouth, and sneered, "Not to mention my dear Uncle Regent, will he let me leave the temple...... After all, as a saint, how can she just leave! Besides, ...... In the temple now, will you let me go? I'm just a pawn in the battle between the two sides!! Hmph, my uncle regent, he deliberately left me in the temple so that he could use me to find the flaws in the temple in the future!
Unless my father rises from the dead and becomes emperor, where can I easily take off the status of a saint?"
Du Wei also understood that what he said was very reasonable, and he couldn't help but be indifferent.
"What's more......" The saint gritted her teeth: "All the hopes of my life are gone, and now all my hope is only hatred! Du Wei! Duke Tulip! Respected magician! Tell me, how can you tell me not to hate you, how can I not hate !!?"
Even Du Wei couldn't help but sigh and said slowly: "Yes, you really deserve to hate." ”
The atmosphere suddenly fell into a frozen state, and the two stared at each other, but suddenly they were speechless.
Thankfully, it was at this time. The lady of the small shop finally brought the plate up, and the freshly made dough was placed on the plate, which barely broke the deadlock.
The saint looked at Du Wei twice, and suddenly the anger on her face slowly dissipated, and she regained her calm, but she smiled faintly: "Grand Duke Tulip, I was emotional just now. I said that I won't talk about mundane things tonight, but I have broken the rules, and I should be punished with a drink. ”
With that, she picked up the bottle and drank the last bit of wine. He patted the table lightly again: "Bring two more bottles." ”
After a while, she said to Du Wei: "Grand Duke Tulip." I just said so much, but you didn't say anything. It's a little unfair. Since the two of them drink, they always have to talk more to be interesting, and listening to me alone is monotonous. ”
Du Wei nodded and smiled: "Not bad, it's just." What do you want to hear me say?"
"Tell me about you. There seemed to be a bit of contemplation in the eyes of the Holy Maiden: "Actually." I've always been curious about you! You were once the eldest son of the Rollin family. But it lost ground. He was sent back to his hometown. At that time. In the aristocratic *** of dìdū, everyone is not optimistic about you, thinking that your life is over. Unexpectedly, in just one year.
You killed dìdū and became a disciple of Gandorf. With the identity of a magician. So many magical things have been created in Rollin's hometown. Make everyone look at you with admiration. Afterwards. You're on the rise, and you're out of control! The Rollin family was originally on our side.
But you can leave the family at a critical moment. In the end, the Rollin family fell. Instead, you became the Duke of Tulip in the New Land. A province lord! Judging by your deeds. Say you're a 'miracle'.
It's not an exaggeration. “
There was a pause. She suddenly whispered, "When there is land." I even doubt it. I'm afraid you have the ability to predict the future. ”
Du Wei's heart jumped. Then he laughed: "According to what you say, even I feel that I seem to be lucky to be a little unpleasant." ”
Then he took a sip of wine. Then he tapped the plate with the chopsticks in his hand, and then smiled: "Okay." Since today is just two lonely guests chatting. Then I might as well tell you. In fact...... At the beginning, the Rollin family was on your side. Don't you think it's strange that I suddenly broke away from my family in a coup d'état?"
He sighed and said slowly: "On the day of the coup, your father, the Great Prince Yawen, took control of the Dìdū City Defense Guard. In one fell swoop, he beat the Royal Guards and injured them, and also took control of the Sheriff's Office. Tens of thousands of troops were trapped in the imperial city. And Rodriguez and that green-robed ** master showed their might! Hmph, at that time. The back hand of Prince Chen. It hasn't been shown yet, and at that moment, I'm afraid it's out of a hundred. There are ninety-nine, and they all think that the eldest prince has won. Right?"
“...... Not bad. The saint nodded.
"In fact, at that time, even I didn't know about Prince Chen's later moves. Du Wei smiled faintly: "When you were on the square, your side had the upper hand, but at that time, I chose to break away from the family and stand on the side of Prince Chen!
I'm telling you, in fact, I just decided that it must be you who won the land!And I did this to protect the family!!"
The beauty of the saint is picked. Du Weicai continued: "Before the coup d'état, I had just returned to Dìdū, and I somehow befriended Prince Chen, and by chance, helped him resist an assassination attempt by the Great Prince. However, it was an accident. At that time, the Rollin family was on your side, and if you succeeded in the coup d'état, then I, as a person, would drag down my family! At that time, I left the family in order to fulfill my father and my family, in other words, I left the family when you had the upper hand...... It's simply a death-seeking act. ”
Then he suddenly lowered his voice, and said with a ghostly smile: "Actually, I don't hide it from you, on the square that day, I was ready to escape." Hehe...... In my opinion, your father has won the land. ”
Of course, there are many details in it, involving secrecy, and Du Wei is not good to tell this holy woman.
After hearing this, the saint was also quite surprised, and couldn't help laughing: "It turns out that you didn't expect to win at all?
"The only thing I thought about at that time was how to escape safely from the tens of thousands of troops. ”
The two glanced at each other, but they couldn't help but laugh. This smile made the stiff atmosphere suddenly ease a lot.
After laughing for a while, the saint suddenly said, "That'...... Aren't you afraid that I'll tell my uncle about this?
If he knew, he probably wouldn't trust you as much as he does now!"
Speaking of this, his eyes flickered.
Du Wei didn't care: "Well, Your Highness, if you want to speak locally, just go." But even if you did, would the Lord Regent believe you, would he believe you, or would he believe me?"
The saint thought for a while and said with a smile: "Yes, this is here, there are only you and me, and no one will believe it if you say it." The uncle in my land has a lot of ideas in his heart, and it is difficult for others to talk about things that he believes. ”
At this point, both of them seemed to be speechless. However, the saint saw that the chopsticks in Du Wei's hand were interesting, so she smiled and said: "Lord Duke, your tableware is peculiar, I have never seen it, can you let me try it?"
Du Wei laughed and handed it over, the first time the saint used chopsticks, she was naturally clumsy at first, pinching what to drop something. Du Wei was about to laugh, but who knew that this woman pondered for a while, and when she started again, she actually became jīng! Although it was still a little jerky, her movements were much smoother!
Du Wei was shocked: this woman should be very smart!
Clipping a bean and putting it in her mouth, the saint smiled slightly, and then returned the chopsticks to Du Wei. Du Wei looked at the chopsticks, just now the saint maiden put the vegetables into her mouth and passed the ground, the tip of the chopsticks was at one end, as if there was still the taste of the saint's red mouth, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
The saintess suddenly stood up, and bent over: "Grand Duke, it's not too early, tonight's drinking game can be regarded as an unexpected gain for me." It's a lot of fun to have such an unexpected conversation with you on a night like this. It's just that now I'm going back. ”
Speaking of this, she sighed softly and couldn't help but take a deep look at Du Wei: "I just found out today that you are actually quite good." Pity...... We are enemies, not friends.
When we meet on other occasions in the future, I will definitely not show mercy! My last sustenance in this life is revenge! And you ...... Unfortunately, it's very high on my revenge list. “
With that, she turned around and was about to leave.
How could Du Wei let this woman leave with such arrogance in the end, seeing that the holy woman was about to go out, Du Wei suddenly stopped her: "Your Highness." ”
"......" The princess paused, and turned to look at Du Wei.
Du Wei suddenly put the chopsticks in his hand, gently grabbed one end of each with both hands, and then snapped and snapped, his tone was very indifferent: "Your Highness, I also learned today, in fact, you are not a hateful woman, and it can even be said that you are very pitiful...... But, equally unfortunately, you chose to be my enemy. That's no way around. But I'm going to tell you one thing, usually I'm an enemy, and there are only two ways to go!"
"Oh, which two?" sneered the holy woman.
"The first one is...... Die!"
The saint seemed to expect it, and sneered: "Hmph, what about the second one?"
Du Wei smiled slightly: "Second...... The death is ugly. ”
