Magician robe
Du Wei glanced at his father, although he was still at a loss in his heart, but he also seemed to catch a faint glimpse of something.
"It's just that the identity of a magician is so important?" He smiled wryly.
"If you are just a magician, even if you are directly awarded the rank badge of a senior magician, no one will care about you. But... this set of mage robes on you is not an ordinary mage robe! Scholar of magic, hum..." Count Raymond sneered.
Du Wei was waiting to ask again, but the Earl suddenly closed his mouth, his face was a little cloudy, he pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Okay, you just came back, you will know these complicated things soon I'm not too busy now to tell you all... By the way, you haven't met your mother yet, she misses you very much every day. Last time on her birthday, the fireworks you sent her made her very uncomfortable. God. Now that you have just come back, I called you into the study, I'm afraid she must be waiting impatiently."
Du Wei immediately understood, knowing that his father seemed to have something to tell him now, Du Wei didn't ask too much, immediately put down his glass, bowed and smiled and said, "Then, father, I will go to visit first." mother."
"Go..." Earl Raymond waved his hand, but when Du Wei reached the door, he suddenly stopped him again.
"etc."
Du Wei stopped when he heard the words, but his heart moved slightly. He turned and looked at his father: "Do you have any orders?"
"..." Earl Raymond looked at his son carefully for a long time with complicated gazes in his eyes, and then asked in a deep voice, "You... don't you have anything to say to me?"
His voice was slightly shrill, and he looked at Du Wei's eyes. It seems that it is not so bright and sharp anymore, but some haze seems to flash.
"...No." Du Wei's heart moved, and those military bows and crossbows seemed to flash in his mind again, but he didn't know why, although what his father said just now dispelled Du Wei's inner doubts a lot, and these For the first time in the past few years, his father revealed the feelings between father and son to himself, but Du Wei seemed to have some faint concerns and did not take the initiative to bring up this matter.
Earl Raymond listened to Du Wei's answer. He seemed to smile wryly, then sighed, this time looking straight into Du Wei's eyes: "I heard that you encountered some... accidents on the way here?"
Du Wei's heart was shocked, but there was no sign of twists and turns on his face. He just nodded and said in a calm tone: "Yes, I just met some robbers. I was a little frightened."
Robber
In fact, both Du Wei and Earl Raymond knew very well that this statement was just a perfunctory excuse. Du Wei believed even more that even if he strictly ordered the cavalry chief not to tell about the military bow and crossbow, he probably couldn't hide it from his father! After all, Earl Raymond is the patriarch and the object of the whole family's allegiance, and he is just an empty young master with no power and power in the family.
The cavalry leader dared to hide others, but he definitely didn't dare to hide his father.
Therefore, this is the last "question mark" in Du Wei's heart today.
The conversation in the study just now was from my father who was indifferent to me since I was a child. He suddenly became so affectionate to himself, and showed so much affection between his father... Although it is touching, Du Wei is not the kind of teenager... Two lives, his inner city, and his mind The degree of maturity is far deeper than anyone imagined!
Even in the face of this father. Du Wei didn't dare to trust the other party completely at once.
"A robber..." Earl Raymond's eyes also calmed down, and the expression on his face restored the majesty of the patriarch of the family. But Du Wei couldn't help but his heart jumped a few times...
He is waiting!
I am also looking forward to it.
He hoped that Earl Raymond would take the initiative to talk to him about the crossbow. If he took the initiative to mention it, then Du Wei would further believe in this father who neglected him since he was a child. Only then can I believe that the intimacy just now was expressed sincerely by him as a father!
However, while Earl Raymond was meditating, Du Wei's heart cooled down bit by bit...
Sure enough, Earl Raymond smiled, as gentle as when he called himself "son" just now: "This matter is not simple, I will order the garrison to investigate. First, let's see if there is anything wrong recently. The robbers are fleeing to the vicinity of the imperial capital." At this point, Earl Raymond snorted coldly, with a majestic expression on his face, he slapped the table vigorously, and shouted: "I want to see who is doing this under my nose." If you are bold, you dare to touch my son blatantly! I am worried that this matter is not done by some robbers, and there may be some other conspiracy!"
finished. He glanced at Du Wei, and turned his eyes to Ci He again: "...you were attacked. Don't mention it to your mother, lest she worry."
"Yes." Du Wei's heart sank, but a flattered smile appeared on his face, he bowed to his father, and then turned carefully to go out.
After going out, Du Wei looked at the bright sun in the sky, the glaring sun shone on his body, the sun was already full of warmth in the near summer season, but Du Wei only felt that the heart in his chest was gradually icy cold down!
He... didn't say anything.
He didn't say it!
Father, he didn't mention a word about the military crossbow!
Covered by the sun, his body was already slightly warm, but Du Wei felt his heart sank deeply, and he felt a little bit of bitterness in his mouth.
He didn't mention a word!
Although there was still a smile on his face, Du Wei's eyes dimmed involuntarily.
Regarding the matter of military crossbows, Du Wei deliberately intimidated the cavalry leader that day, but in fact he quietly left a test to test his father!
Of course he wouldn't naively think that the cavalry leader would hide such an important matter from the patriarch in order not to offend himself, the young master who was neglected by the family! In fact. Earl Raymond must know these details at this moment!
Du Wei just waited to see if his father would tell him frankly!
If he said so, then Du Wei might further believe in this father who suddenly changed his attitude towards him. If he didn't say... He deliberately pretended not to know when both of them knew it well... Obviously he was avoiding this question.
Outside the yard, Alpha's head guard stood outside the yard, smiling and waving at Du Wei.
Du Wei coughed and strode over. Alpha looked at Du Wei with a gentle expression: "Master Earl reprimanded you again?"
Du Wei shook his head. He smiled and said, "No. But my father seemed to be kinder to me a lot, so I was a little surprised and distracted just now."
He concealed it very well, even if others now know that this young master is not an idiot, but a genius. But after all, at his age, no one would think that a fourteen-year-old child would have such deep scheming.
Alpha's head guard smiled, and suddenly patted Du Wei lightly: "Master, go see Madam. When you were in the study, Madam has already sent people here several times in a hurry."
Only then did Du Wei look happy, and his eyes showed joy. After saying goodbye to Alpha, he went directly to the backyard of the Earl's Mansion to meet the Countess.
After Du Wei left, Alpha calmly walked into the yard and pushed open the door of the study.
In the whole Earl's mansion, only the head of the guard has this privilege. He can directly enter and leave the earl's study room without knocking on the door.
In the study, Earl Raymond had already sat back behind the desk with a pensive look on his face.
"How is he?" Earl Raymond sighed when he looked up at Alpha who walked in.
"The young master has gone to see his wife." Alpha stood at the door and closed the door.
"When he walked out just now. Is there anything unusual?"
Alpha thought for a while, then shook his head.
Earl Raymond's eyes became more thoughtful, and after a while, he suddenly smiled, with a trace of mockery and even a trace of anger. He said coldly: "Although my son is not very old, he has a lot of thoughts... It seems that he doesn't dare to trust anyone about the assassination, even I am hiding it! The cavalry beside him Captain, I was warned by him not to talk nonsense... Alpha, do you think he has doubts about me?"
Alpha bowed his head and thought for a while, then said steadily: "My lord, those bows and crossbows have military marks on them, so it's normal for the young master to have doubts. Besides...you don't have a good relationship with him. So you just now?"
"I didn't say anything just now. I just pretended not to know." Earl Raymond sneered and said, "The little guy has grown up, is very smart, and his temper is tolerable. After suffering such a big loss, he actually knows what to do." He swallowed his anger and knew how to warn the people around him to keep secrets. But after all, he is still too young and has too little experience. How dare the people in the family hide it from me? But it’s okay, I just pretended not to know, so as not to let him Ask me. I can't answer!"
At this moment, the expression on his face was resolute and cold, how could he have the look of a loving father just a moment ago
paused. The sharpness in Earl Raymond's eyes gradually dissipated, and he said lightly: "This matter, the cavalry captain is talking too much! If he didn't talk too much about military bows and crossbows, how would Du Wei, a little child, know this? Hmph, he said a few more words, but I had to act stupid on this matter... I think my son is very smart today, and I'm afraid he still won't talk to me... That talkative guy, please take care of me deal with it."
"Yes." Alpha nodded, as if hesitating for a moment, hesitatingly said: "My lord..."
Count Raymond glanced at him, his expression slightly relaxed: "Okay, Alpha, here are just the two of us, you don't have to be scruples about what you say between us."
Alpha sighed: "My lord, Master Du Wei is so smart, and he is quite skillful in handling this matter. Isn't it what you have expected for many years to have such a young talent in the family? I think Master Du Wei will definitely Extraordinary…”
"That depends on the future." Earl Raymond shook his head weakly: "I am overwhelmed by both sides of the current situation... Whether I can pass this test... I am not sure, as for my son , it depends on whether the gods look down on him!"
At the end, Earl Raymond's face flashed a trace of greenness, and his eyes showed a trace of determination!
