Law of the Devil

After drinking a cup of tea, Du Wei sighed softly.

Seeing Du Wei's unhappy face, Philip beside him couldn't help but whispered, "My lord, are you worried that the Northwest Army won't retreat?"

"Worry?" Du Wei smiled, and he raised his eyebrows: "I have nothing to worry about, don't worry, they will retreat."

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Dardanelle opened the door and came in: "Your Excellency, the Northwest Army has begun to retreat!"

Du Wei nodded: "Understood."

Afterwards, the guards outside came in to report: Marquise Liszt asked to see her.

Du Wei was taken aback for a moment, but Philip next to him quickly turned his head away. Only Dardanelle still looked at Du Wei without changing his face.

What is she here for?

Du Wei frowned.

This marquise is really a trouble. Since her birthday that day, the Marquis seemed to live in Du Wei's Duke's mansion with peace of mind.

If people don't say they want to leave, Mr. Du Wei is too embarrassed to drive them away. It has been consumed like this.

During the siege outside today, Du Wei was worried that the Northwest Army would really make a fuss, so he sent double the number of people to surround the duke's mansion.

After thinking for a while, Du Wei sighed: "Please come in, Marquise."

When Philip heard this, he hurriedly left, but Dardanelle looked at Du Wei with a smile on his face.

After all, he was from the Liszt family. Although Dardanelle is extremely loyal to Du Wei, if Du Wei can marry the Liszt family, Dardanelle is also very happy to see it happen.

Moreover, in the heart of this Dardanelle warrior, the beautiful Marquise Liszt is almost like a goddess. It would be a good thing to marry Du Wei.

When the Marquise Liszt walked in, her eyes were full of undisguised concern. Her attire was not very neat, a long plain dress. Obviously dressed simply in the room, a stunning face without any makeup. But the picturesque look still made Du Wei's heart beat a few times.

And behind her. Angel and Muse followed behind. There was a hint of indifference on Angel's face, but Du Wei could tell at a glance that this indifference was clearly disguised by force. The little girl's eyes had already betrayed her heart, and she couldn't bear to be caught in those eyes. I kept peeking at Du Wei, unable to conceal a faint look.

As for Muse... After being punished by Du Wei once, this kid became much more honest. Standing at the end, looking at his toes, he seemed afraid to meet Du Wei's gaze.

"Your Excellency." Mrs. Liszt smiled slightly: "I just heard that the Northwest Army besieged the city, and even you went up to the tower in person. I was worried about you... Now that you are fine, I am relieved."

But Du Wei laughed: "The Marquis is joking! The Northwest Army is also an imperial army. It is also under the banner of thorns and flowers. How can it be difficult for me? It's just a regular spring drill."

Mrs. Liszt's face darkened when she heard Du Wei's "official argument". There was a trace of resentment in the beautiful eyes, and he suddenly raised his head, smiled slightly at Dardanelle, and said in a low voice: "Samurai Dardanelle, can you let me and the Duke stay alone for a while?"

Dardanelle was once a retainer of Mrs. Lister, and he bowed and left after hearing what Mrs. Liszt said.

With Dardanelle's departure, the Marquise Liszt sighed quietly. This sigh was like weeping, but it melted people's hearts. She walked slowly to Du Wei's side, stared at Du Wei quietly for a while, her cherry lips trembled slightly, and then whispered: "Master Duke, are you still guarding against me?"

Du Wei quickly shook his head: "What did Madam say!"

"My lord." There was resentment in the eyes of the Marquis Liszt: "Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the Northwest Army and your lord are definitely not of the same mind. What is the situation in the northwest, do you need me to say? This time they besieged the city and forced you, my lord. This move is already extremely excessive. , and open resistance are only a thin line away! At this time, what you said to me just now was to reassure me? Or... prevarication to me?"

Being stared at by such a stunning beauty, Du Wei also felt quite uncomfortable. It would be a lie to say that he is not tempted by beauty.

If in another occasion, in another location and identity, Du Wei would not mind having an ambiguous game with her if he met a stunning beauty like the Marquise Liszt. This woman is indeed too beautiful for men to resist.

If it's just Lang's love and concubine's intentions, Du Wei thinks that everyone will come to a "festival", and Du Wei will not refuse, and on the contrary, I'm afraid they will go to the head.

However, it is one thing to be attracted to a woman's beauty, but another thing to marry her!

After a little hesitation, Du Wei said seriously: "Madam, you are overthinking. What I said just now was just to prevent you from worrying too much. I don't care about the tens of thousands of Northwest Army. Don't say that they will never Dare to reverse now..."

Speaking of this, Du Wei smiled slightly, with awe-inspiring confidence in his eyes, he flicked the desktop casually, and said lightly: "Even if they are really against each other now. My city of miracles is only as good as 40,000 of them. Can it be eaten? I have my own idea in my mind, Madam, don't worry."

These words are much softer than the previous tone of rejecting people thousands of miles away. The Marquise Liszt turned from anger to joy, a trace of tenderness flashed across her charming face, she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said softly: "Since my lord is free to assert, I don't want to ask too much. It's just what happened today, which makes people listen to it." Surprised... If you don't mind, my lord..."

She suddenly took out a strange translucent object from her bosom, and gently placed it on Du Wei's desk: "This is a family heirloom of my Liszt family, and it is not a rare thing. However, it is bitterly cold in the northwest, my lord will not rest tonight. I am afraid that I will take people to inspect the city tower. Please be sure to wear this thing by your side, wearing this thing, the wind and sand will not invade, and it can also resist the cold at night."

Du Wei was about to speak, but Mrs. Liszt suddenly said in a low voice: "This is Lan's wish, please don't make people sad."

Du Wei's hand, which was about to push the thing back, couldn't help but slow down after hearing this, and suddenly felt that the fingertips of his fingers touched something extremely soft, and he looked down. It was the catkin of the Marquise Liszt, and her fingers rested on the other's delicate and slender fingertips. That creamy and boneless feeling made people feel swayed in their hearts. The movement of his hands involuntarily turned into taking the thing in his hands. Then he gave a wry smile and put it in his arms: "I must wear it.".

The Marquise Liszt just smiled. She was originally born like an eighteen-beauty woman, but when she smiled now, a charming shyness flashed in her eyes, she looked straight like a girl, and her cheeks were dizzy. Then Wei Wei bowed her body, said goodbye and went out.

Angel in the back bit her lip all the time and said nothing. Before leaving, she gave Du Wei a faint look.

"Mister Du Wei..." Muse walked last. Suddenly he said in a low voice: "Not long ago, when you were on the tower, my sister took me to watch from the back of the tower."

"Oh?" Du Wei raised his eyebrows.

"You..." Muse suddenly hesitated. Then there was a flash of light in his eyes, and he said in a low voice, "You...the way you shoot arrows is really... pretty!"

At this point, Muse suddenly became flustered, and quickly added: "Ah, um... Angel asked me to tell you this."

After speaking, he quickly ran out and chased after Angel.

Du Wei sighed...

Beautiful man, it's hard to bear!

He couldn't help but took out the transparent crystal that Mrs. Liszt had just given him in his bosom. The tentacles were warm, and there was no fluctuation of magic power on it. But when he held it in his hand, he seemed to be able to faintly feel a little bit of warmth. Flows softly like in the palm of your hand.

At night, the people below reported that the Northwest Army had retreated ten miles.

In fact, Du Wei shot that arrow, no more, no less, exactly ten miles. Just having a good time with the old smoke, he rode out of the city all the way, with Du Wei's bright red cloak on his gun. Among the thousands of troops of the Northwest Army, there was no one else speeding past all the way.

This feeling made Lao Yan, who had already looked down on everything, couldn't help but feel a little pride in his heart!

It's really cool to do things with this young duke! Now, Du Wei has tested the bottom line of the Northwest Army.

However, what exactly does the Northwest Army want to do? Tens of thousands of troops are here, are they here to eat and drink?

Du Wei would not do things like patrolling the city. But at night, he returned to the back of the castle, which was a separate courtyard. All the furnishings are the same as those in the courtyard of Earl Raymond's study in Earl Rollin's mansion in the imperial capital.

Du Wei gave an order that no one could enter or leave this courtyard without his permission!

He walked into the study in the courtyard and closed the door.

The furnishings in this study are also the same as Earl Raymond's study back then. It was very cold in the room.

There were no servants here either. Du Wei lit a lamp with his own hands, then took out a bottle of wine from the cabinet, sat slowly behind the desk, and poured himself a drink.

When a bottle of wine was half down, Du Wei's eyes froze suddenly, and he gently put down the wine glass.

Outside, the door of the study was knocked lightly twice.

"Come in." Du Wei said in a deep voice.

The door opened, and a man in a black warrior robe walked in.

On this man's originally handsome appearance, there were a few tiny scars, which were obviously left not too long ago. These few scars did not diminish the charm of this man in the slightest, on the contrary, they made this handsome man a bit more masculine.

Alpha walked into this study room, he looked at Du Wei sitting behind the desk, at the wine bottle in front of Du Wei, and at the room. It is exactly the same as in the old earl's study.

When he saw Du Wei smiling at himself behind the desk, Alpha's heart couldn't help being in a trance for an instant. He seems to have returned to the past, looking at Earl Raymond sitting behind the table with his favorite wine in front of him, watching himself come back after completing the task, and always saying to himself:

"Good job Alpha, come and have a drink with me."

Although the person in front of him has a higher title than Raymond.

Although the boy in front of him is Raymond's biological son.

But Alpha still couldn't help feeling a faint sadness in his heart.

In fact. Ever since he obeyed Raymond's instructions and asked him to stay by Du Wei's side to help. The alpha bodyguard has always been at a loss in his heart.

The Luo Lin family has disappeared. Although Du Weidi's tulip family is regarded as the inheritance of the Luo Lin family... after all. This is different. I have served the Luo Lin family all my life, but the collapse of the Luo Lin family made Alpha seem to lose his soul, and his lifelong allegiance became... nothing in a moment!

Although he still meticulously carried out Earl Raymond's order to himself, and served Du Wei wholeheartedly. But in fact, only Alpha knows it in his heart. My heart is already numb.

"Uncle Alpha." The smile on Du Wei's face was very sincere: "I was thinking just now, you should be back by now."

There was a trace of fatigue on Alpha's face.

With his powerful influence, he was ordered to quietly leave the city and go out to work for Du Wei, traveling thousands of miles in one day. I really couldn't hold on anymore.

"Master." Alpha nodded: "I brought the news you want."

Du Wei's expression froze, and he sat up straight.

This Uncle Alpha is absolutely capable! It's a pity because he is his father's confidant. After following his father for too long, it is impossible to become his absolute direct descendant after all. Since coming to the Northwest, Du Wei simply didn't let Alpha stay by his side, but gave him another duty: intelligence collection.

This head guard has strong martial arts skills, and he has a sense of proportion, means and rich experience in doing things. Back then, a dark force in his father's hands was all controlled by the chief guard. Du Wei was very confident about his ability.

"Say." Du Wei took a deep breath.

"I went out of the city for three hundred miles, and walked around from east to west, and found a situation." Alpha said slowly: "The Northwest Army who came here secretly brought a group of people! I checked from a distance , there are about five or six thousand, and they are secretly hidden among the troops of the Northwest Army along the way! The costumes of these people are all from the grasslands, and I will definitely not be mistaken."

Du Wei was surprised.

People on the prairie?

What do these Northwest Army want to do! !

"Thousands of people separated from the Northwest Army at a long distance, and then divided into many small teams, and ran away. I followed one of them secretly, hung behind them for a while, and I can be sure. Yes, they seem to be looking for something!"

Du Wei's eyes lit up!

"I approached them quietly again and eavesdropped on their conversation. I don't know much about the language of the grassland aliens, so I can barely hear it, but what is certain is that these grassland people who sneaked in this time, The total number is probably more than 10,000. The Northwest Army helped them sneak in. I heard from them that the Northwest Army is surrounding our city and they won’t let us go out, so they can search everywhere with ease!” .

Du Wei hurriedly asked: "Do you know what they are looking for?"

"I don't know." Alpha shook his head: "However, I vaguely heard what they seemed to say... the Witch King's order or something."

Du Wei stopped talking.

An order from the Witch King?

Is it still sent out to find that monster? But speaking of it, this monster is indeed precious, no wonder the Witch King persevered!

hey-hey! What a Northwest Army! Actually helping outsiders to this extent! You don't hesitate to surround my city and don't let me go out! So that people from the Northwest can search everywhere in Lao Tzu's house? !

Lu Gao, Lu Gao! What kind of benefits did you take from the prairie people! How dare you let the enemy enter the border of our country so recklessly?

Such a traitor! Rebellious officials and thieves! !

If you are just acting as your traitor and traitor, I can't control you! It's just, never, never! You have offended me! !

When Du Wei was annoyed, Alpha suddenly whispered: "Master, if there is nothing else, I will go out first."

"Wait!" Du Wei smiled. He raised his head, glanced at the old servant of Luo Lin's family who had hugged him since he was a child, and suddenly pointed to the wine bottle on the table, smiled at Alpha and said softly:

"Good job, Uncle Alpha, come and have a drink with me."

As soon as he said this, Alpha suddenly trembled! In the originally numb eyes, there seemed to be a trace of soft emotion finally flowing out. .
