Chapter 331 [A Roast Pork Leg]

Chen Daolin sighed.

It's not that easy......

Shiloh didn't send someone to seal his magic, also because he was too confident and thought that he was holding on to his weakness by capturing Barossa and the others.

But the place where Barossa and others are under house arrest is not so easy to save people.

Chen Daolin hid behind a bush and looked at it from a distance, and when he saw a few guards with axes and guns standing at the gate of the small courtyard in the distance, and a team of patrol horses that had just passed through here on horseback, his heart was slightly happy. But then he saw the red mage robe floating on the terrace on the second floor, and he knew that he was going to have a headache.

This Shiloh actually sent a court mage to guard Barossa......

Chen Daolin is very self-aware, although the entire imperial capital regards himself as a "genius magician" who created a miracle, the youngest magic professor in the magic academy, and the rarest magic genius in a hundred years...... However, he knew very well that if he had the ability to fight in actual combat, he would have just crossed the intermediate threshold at most, and he was still a rookie in terms of experience in the actual use of magic.

At the beginning, he protected Dean Carmen and escaped, and he was able to kill a few magicians along the way, purely relying on the special conditions of the right time and place, and it was not a true portrayal of the strength of the two sides.

If you want to forcibly rush in to save people, as long as a court mage is enough to drag yourself, it can be expected that there will be countless palace guards coming in the future - this kind of thing of catching turtles in the urn, it is better to leave it to others to do it, brother has no interest in being an old turtle.

Silently glancing at the small courtyard again, Chen Daolin pinched a few bags of things in his arms, and silently re-entered the bushes.

If you can't attack it, then your only chance is to see if it's possible to lure away these guards, especially the court mages sitting here!

How can you lure away the court mage?

Chen Daolin hid in the bushes and looked back into the deep palace complex. Then his eyes fell on the towering magic tower.

In the afternoon sun, the tower stood in the middle of the palace.

(As if I've heard that the magicians in this court have a strict iron rule...... ）

Fighting snakes and hitting seven inches, Chen Daolin has always been very clear about this truth, when he was a child and fought with other classmates, Chen Daolin knew the high-end skill of flirting with his feet.

So, the magic tower that was erected there...... Such a huge "egg" is simply suitable!

......

The new emperor traveled, and two teams of heavily armed guards opened the way, behind the royal carriage. He followed two cardinal mages on horseback.

Shiloh sat in the carriage, unable to tell what kind of mood he was feeling.

If it had been before, he would never have been so excited about such a woman's letter. But after experiencing the night of the coup d'état, forcing his brother to death with his own hands, and experiencing the death of Luo Puppy and Kaman in the main hall that day, Shiloh only felt that his heart was suddenly completely emptied!

Even if there is ambition, full of ambition, even if there is still those dignity, even those pride. Those are confident.

But in the dead of night, he always felt that there was a poisonous snake desperately biting his heart!

The heart is completely empty, as if even those ambitions to conquer the world cannot be filled.

The moment my brother finally died, the moment he put on the crown. Shiloh knew that he had completely lost the so-called "family affection", and when Luo Xiaopu and Kaman, two friends who were once young, shouted that "human hearts" died in front of him, Shiloh knew. In my life, I am afraid that I will not have a chance with "friendship".

That's why he was so anxious the night before yesterday that he almost lost his temper and sent someone to bring Rodelle into the palace.

Love?

Perhaps.

But only Shiloh knew in his own heart, he just felt that his heart was uncomfortably empty! Without friendship, then, maybe the girl he once liked can bring a little warmth to himself?

A little bit of warmth that belongs to human nature?

Shiloh didn't study psychology, so he didn't know that his current state was the instinctive loneliness and loneliness that arise when all the emotions around him have passed.

It's not so much that he loves Rodelle, it's that he needs Rodelle.

At this moment, Shiloh needs an emotion to fill the "emptiness" in his heart, this emotion can be friendship, family affection, and of course, if it is love.

Listening to the rolling wheels, Shiloh suddenly wanted to smile bitterly.

My mentality at the moment is like an ignorant teenager who is young and ignorant and goes to meet his sweetheart for the first time, young and nervous?

The content of Lordelle's letter was simple: she wanted to talk to herself.

Surely Shiloh wouldn't whimsically think that in less than two days, this girl would change her mind?

Shiloh speculated that maybe she wanted to beg her father to let her father go, to spare her family, and that after carrying the weight of the entire family, this girl, this proud girl, finally tried to give in to herself?

What Shiloh really wanted was not this, he knew very well that he wanted this girl to be sincere to himself.

However, if you can't get your sincerity, it's better than nothing to retreat and get her submission, right?

What no one knows is that what Shiloh really desires in his heart today may just be a warm embrace.

Even if this embrace is not sincere, even if this embrace is only due to the factor of submission.

But the person in this arms must only be recognized in his heart: Lodel meets this standard.

The place where Lordelle asked to meet himself was not the mansion of the Liszt family, but a small courtyard.

This small courtyard is in the south of the imperial capital, not close to the imperial palace. But this place, Shiloh is no stranger.

When he was very young, he used to go to that place, it was a magical courtyard, and in that small courtyard there was a towering ancient tree, and in autumn, a small stove would be erected under the tree, and there would be an old man with white hair and white clothes like snow, wrapped in a thick blanket. Sit in a chair under the tree and boil a good pot of tea with gentle movements.

That old man was once recognized as the wisest man, the most learned, and the most knowledgeable wise man in the imperial capital. He had many, many wonderful disciples. When I was a child, I once went there to visit the wise old man at the arrangement of the royal family, and studied with the old man there for a few months.

Tulips, Rollin, Liszt...... Several families in the empire had some close ties with the old man, including the royal family. A child of the family. When they were young, they would be sent to study with the old man for a while.

After a few years, he is already a "foodie prince", but no matter where he goes, every time he returns to the imperial capital, he will go to that small courtyard and dedicate it to the wise old man with the delicacies he has scavenged from all over the world.

In my memory, every time the old man saw himself, his eyes would reveal a faint melancholy and helplessness.

That kind of wise eyes. Shiloh never saw it in the eyes of the second man. It was as if when the old man looked at himself, he was not looking at a "prodigal" and "foodie prince" who was laughed at by all the nobles, and there was deep sadness and pity in his eyes.

Shiloh was convinced that the old man could see through his disguise! I always have a lot of fun enjoying the food I made myself.

He once commented that his ability to cook food is the second best among the people he has seen in his life.

And the number one is actually the legendary first Tulip Duke Du Wei!

That's right there

Of course. Rodelle had been there too, and had been sent there when she was five or six years old. However, Laudel's luck was not good, and she only followed the old man for two months. The old man died.

And the first time I met Laudel was in the old man's courtyard.

I remember that time, I brought a particularly delicious fish from the south. The dried fish has a special flavor and fishy smell, but after being thrown into a pot and boiled twice, it will become soft and delicious, and then sandwiched into a thin dough cake with two refreshing green melon shreds, and the mouth will make people want to swallow their tongues.

At that time, Lodel was only six years old, hiding behind a big tree and watching herself and the old man enjoy the food, and the cute little girl who had fallen out of the ice and snow was drooling very vividly on the spot.

After that, this little girl sticks to herself, and always likes to mess around with her ass.

When the old scholar died, Rodelle cried more than anyone else. She has a deep affection for the old scholar, and she is the last disciple of the old scholar.

Of course, Shiloh knew that another reason why she was crying so sadly at the time was that after the old scholar died, she would be taken back to the family castle and leave the imperial capital, never to see herself again, and never to eat those delicacies again.

But it doesn't matter, since then, I have another habit: every time I wander around the world from the outside, before returning to the imperial capital, I will first go to the castle of the Liszt family to see the little girl, and share the food I brought with her.

This habit was maintained for several years, until she gradually grew up and became the first beauty recognized by the nobility of the empire......

How many times have I wanted to ask her a question: If one day I become the emperor, will you be my queen?

This sentence has lingered in my heart countless times, but I have never asked it.

Because...... I have been forbearing, I have been telling myself to be careful, to be cautious, and never to show the slightest flaw!

He would rather endure the emotions in his heart than dare to reveal the slightest bit.

Until the end...... Once, when he came back from the southern marshes, he brought back a roasted black pork leg smoked by the locals, and the two of them hid on the river beach behind the castle and spent a full night gnawing away a pork leg......

The little girl with meat scraps on the corners of her mouth looked at herself with those sparkling eyes and asked herself a question: On the day of my coming-of-age ceremony, if you bring such a delicious pork leg again, will I marry you?

A girl's home is a girl's home, and even confession is so shy.

At that time, I almost said a "good" word from my mouth.

However...... It was the last time I went to Liszt's castle and the last time I shared food with her!

But now...... The elder brother was forced to death by himself, and the Carmanro puppy and Goth's friends from their youth were all killed by themselves...... When I woke up from my sleep in the middle of the night, sweating profusely, I asked myself, what would happen if I had promised that little girl?

A roasted pork leg in exchange for the heart of a girl who truly loves herself.

It's worth it, isn't it?

......

When the carriage stopped at the gate of the small courtyard, the Imperial Guards were ordered by Shiloh to stay at the street entrance and not enter.

Shiloh was relieved that the loyal guards had already searched the neighborhood.

He stepped out of the carriage, his snow-white hair tied up haphazardly.

Looking at the familiar courtyard door, Shiloh smiled, and he turned around and took something from the hand of the attendant beside him.

It is a roasted pork leg wrapped in silk cloth, a tribute from the southern marshes carefully selected by the chefs of the palace, the finest black pork, burned with the finest spices and fragrant wood.

Well, when she walked in, she saw me bring such a thing, I don't know what her expression would be?

Shiloh suddenly became a little curious.

Even if she is only forced to give in under pressure, she can always make her heart warm up slowly!

stepped forward and pushed the courtyard door open......

The courtyard was empty, only the ancient towering tree, but it was almost dead, there were no fallen leaves under the tree, only the decayed and withered branches, and the old man's chaise longue had long since turned into broken and rotten wood!

Uninhabited?!

Shiloh stood there for a moment, and then his face suddenly changed, and he suddenly guessed something, and there was a hint of essence in his eyes!

Turned around: "Abandon the car!Prepare the horse!!Go back to the palace!!"

......

"To the southeast of the palace, two hundred steps to the left of the Hall of the Sages, close to the ditch. There were at least fifty guards, and the rangers would pass by about once every half hour. From here, there are three routes, among which the distance through the Corridor Bridge and the Canal Crossing over the Flower Garden, through the Faculty is the fastest, but there will be two in the middle to the palace ban. Fiona said in a low voice: "The first palace is forbidden to have our people to answer, it is two palace attendants, who will make a riot to attract their attention, but the second one is gone...... There is no way, after Shiloh took power, the Imperial Forest Army in the palace was too thoroughly cleansed, and there were almost no of our people left, only these few chess pieces were left, and they would not be used unless they had to. ”

The noble man glanced at her, nodded, and expressed satisfaction: "It's already very good." (To be continued......)
