Law of the Devil

Cold night shop, lonely lamp, a cup.

Such an atmosphere, but such a pair of men and women who can be called enemies are sitting opposite each other, but it really doesn't fit the atmosphere.

Du Wei didn't seem to care about the ridicule in the saint's words, but asked the waiter to bring the wine glass again, filled it up himself, raised the glass to signal the saint, and then drank it.

The two of them stopped talking after that, and just drank like this. Unexpectedly, the holy girl looked timid, but her drinking capacity really made Du Wei look sideways. Du Wei had only drank three cups, but she had already drank half a bottle.

When Du Wei finished his fifth cup, there was no more drop of wine in the wine bottle in front of the saint.

This woman didn't wear a veil today, so her face was naturally beautiful, and with the smell of alcohol on her face, she was even more flushed, and her eyes were moving, and she was naturally charming. Du Wei couldn't help but take a second look.

Who knew that although the saintess was slightly drunk, she still reacted quickly: "What do you think I am doing? Hmph, Your Excellency Duke, do you think I am beautiful?"

Then he laughed: "Your Highness, of course, deserves to be recognized as a beauty, and she is very beautiful. Otherwise, that unlucky young master in the auction that day would not have been stunned by you."

The saint sneered: "Hmph, are you mocking me for being attractive and attractive, is it disrespectful?"

After saying this, she staggered suddenly, supported the table with her hands, raised her head, and stared at Du Wei with bright eyes: "You...what do you know!"

Du Wei didn't argue, but just shook his head indifferently: "Yes, I really don't understand."

"Ha! Haha!!" The saint laughed angrily, pointed at Du Wei and said, "When I was young, I was still the princess of the empire, my father, and everyone thought he was the future emperor. But only I knew, He never had a happy day! He frowned all day long. Even for my daughter, he didn’t have much good looks! 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 , to be that saint!!"

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 was the time of innocence, and my life was full of dreams.

But he was single-handedly strangled! Ask me to bid farewell to my own life and live the life of a priest who is extremely boring and indifferent! Originally colorful life. It turned gray and white! I can no longer play, I can't dance, I bid farewell to all the gorgeous clothes that girls all over the world like, beautiful jewelry, as well as gardens, dance partners...even the secret love object in my heart, and throw myself into the temple! Facing a bunch of hypocritical old men all day long. The gods opened their mouths and closed their mouths to offer.

Sitting and praying...the most beautiful five years of my life have been spent like this! ! "

Du Wei couldn't help sighing when he heard this... Such a life is for a teenage girl. It is indeed too cruel.

"But at that time, I could still bear it! My father told me that as long as he became the emperor, he would be able to find a chance for me to leave the temple in the future! I finally had a chance to escape from the sea of ​​suffering! From that time on, all I thought about was hope Father can become emperor! But... the year before last, on the day of the summer memorial ceremony, that guy Chen, and you! My father was defeated and died, and you, personally buried my lifelong hope!! In this world, I will Not a single relative! Not a single one!!”

Speaking of this, the woman suddenly stood up with a "huh", stretched out her palm to Du Wei and waved it vigorously.

Um? If you drink too much, do you have to turn your back on me? Of course Du Wei is very clear that this woman is probably not a weak woman who can be the saint of the temple. But... Doing it with me makes you feel a little overwhelmed?

Fortunately, Du Wei guessed wrong. The saint didn't mean to turn her back on her face, she stretched out her hand, but snatched Du Wei's wine bottle, and then poured it down without using a cup...Actually...she was just a poor Just people.

Du Wei sighed in his heart, and looked at the woman quietly: If there hadn't been for that coup, without my participation... This woman really has nothing to do with me, let alone hatred.

It's just that the impermanence of the world has pushed the two into a hostile position. And she... In fact, she was just a young girl with a glimmer of hope in her heart.

After pondering for a while, Du Wei suddenly said in a low voice: "Actually... if you want to leave the temple, become a princess instead of a saint, it's not impossible..."

"Hahahaha!!" Hearing this, the holy girl shook her body suddenly, then laughed wildly instead, threw the wine bottle on the ground with all her strength, and smashed it to pieces with a loud bang. She pointed at Du Wei: "I thought the Duke of Tulip was a rough man, but you can also say such silly and childish things!"

Then she slumped heavily into the chair, gasped for a while, wiped the remaining wine from the corner of her mouth vigorously, and said with a sneer: "Not to mention my dear Uncle Regent, will he let me leave the temple... After all, as a Saintess, how could you just say leave and leave! Besides... the temple is willing to let me go now? I am a pawn in the struggle between the two sides!! Hmph, my uncle regent, He deliberately left me in the temple, so that he can use me to find flaws in the temple in the future!

And the temple is trying to keep me as a bargaining chip against the royal family! ! Unless my father is resurrected from the dead and becomes the emperor, otherwise, how can I take off the status of a saint so easily? "

Du Wei also understood that what he said was very reasonable, so he couldn't help being indifferent.

"What's more..." The saint gritted her teeth: "All hope in my life is gone, and now all my sustenance is only hatred! Du Wei! Duke Tulip! Dear magician! Tell me Look, you tell me how can I not hate you, how can I not hate!!!"

Even Du Wei couldn't help sighing, and said slowly, "That's right, you really deserve to be hated."

The atmosphere suddenly fell into a frozen state, and the two stared at each other, but suddenly they were speechless.

Fortunately, at this moment. The female boss of this small shop finally brought up a plate with freshly made noodle cakes, which barely broke the deadlock.

The holy girl glanced at Du Wei, and suddenly the anger on her face dissipated slowly, and she regained her composure, but she smiled again: "Duke Tulip, I was emotional just now. I agreed not to mention mundane matters tonight, But I have broken the rules, I shall be punished with a cup."

After speaking, she picked up the wine 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 said so much just now, but you didn't say anything. It's a bit unfair. Since the two of you are drinking, you have to talk more to be interesting. Just listen I'm noisy all by myself, it's monotonous."

Du Wei nodded and said with a smile, "That's good, that's just. You want to hear what I have to say?"

"Tell me about you." There seemed to be some contemplation in the eyes of the saint: "Actually, I have always been very curious about you! You used to be the eldest son of the Luo Lin family. But you lost your power. You were sent back to your hometown. At that time .In the aristocracy of the imperial capital, everyone looked down on you, thinking that your life was over. Unexpectedly, in just one year.

You returned to the imperial capital and became a disciple of Gandolf. With the identity of a magician. So many miraculous things were created in Luo Lin's hometown. Make everyone look up to you. after. You just skyrocketed and out of control! The Luo Lin family was originally on our side.

But you can leave the family at a critical moment. In the end, the Rollins family collapsed. Instead, you became the Duke of Xindi Tulip. Lord of a province! Judging from your deeds. Say you a miracle.

Never exaggerate. "

paused. She suddenly whispered: "Sometimes. I even doubt it. I'm afraid you have the ability to predict the future."

Du Wei's heart skipped a beat. Then he laughed: "Based on what you said, even I myself feel that I seem to be lucky."

Then he also took a sip of wine. Then he tapped the plate with the chopsticks in his hand, and then said with a smile: "Okay. Since it's just two lonely guests chatting today, then I might as well tell you. Actually... At the beginning, the Luo Lin family stood by your side. Don't you find it strange that I suddenly left the family on the day of the coup?"

He sighed, and said slowly: "On the day of the coup, your father, the eldest prince Yawen, took control of the Imperial City Defense Guards. In one fell swoop, he beat up the Imperial Forest Army and took control of the Public Security Department. Tens of thousands of troops trapped the emperor. City. And Rodriguez and the green-robed archmage showed their might! Hmph, at that time. Prince Chen’s backhand. It hasn’t been displayed yet. At that moment, there are probably ninety-nine out of a hundred people. Everyone thinks that the eldest prince is sure to win. Right?"

"...That's right." The saint nodded.

"Actually, at that time, even I didn't know about Prince Chen's tricks." Du Wei smiled lightly: "On the square that day, your side had the upper hand, but I chose to leave the family at that time. Standing on the side of Prince Chen! Do you think I'm betting on you?

Let me tell you, in fact, I just decided that the winner must be you! And I did this to protect my family! ! "

The saint is beautiful. Du Weicai continued: "Before the coup, I had just returned to the imperial capital, and for no apparent reason, I became friends with Prince Chen. It was quite accidental, and I helped him resist the assassination of the First Prince. However, that time was indeed accidental. As a result , your father naturally hated me to death! At that time, the Luo Lin family was on your side. If you succeed in the coup, then I will be a drag on my family! At that time, I left The family, in fact, is to fulfill my father and my family, in other words, when you have the upper hand, I left the family... It is simply an act of courting death."

Then he suddenly lowered his voice, and Guigui smiled happily: "Actually, I don't hide from you. On the square that day, I was ready to escape. Hehe... In my opinion, your father is It's a win."

Of course, there are still many details involved in secrets, so it is difficult for Du Wei to tell this saint.

After hearing this, the saint was quite surprised, and couldn't help laughing: "So you didn't expect to win at all? You didn't take a fancy to my uncle at all, so you took his side?"

"The only thing I was thinking at the time was how to escape safely from the siege of tens of thousands of troops."

The two looked at each other, but couldn't help laughing. This smile made the stiff atmosphere suddenly ease a lot.

After laughing for a while, the saint suddenly said: "Then... you are not afraid that I will tell my uncle this?

If he knew, I'm afraid he wouldn't trust you as much as he does now! "

Having said that, his eyes flickered.

Du Wei didn't take it seriously: "Well, Your Highness, if you want to say something, go ahead. But even if you say it, will the Regent believe you? Does he believe you or me?"

The saint thought for a while, and said with a smile: "That's right, there are only you and me here, and no one will believe it if we tell it. My uncle has a lot of ideas in his heart, and the things he believes , it is difficult for others to persuade him.”

When they got here, the two of them seemed to be speechless. On the other hand, the saint saw that the chopsticks in Du Wei's hands were interesting, so she smiled and said, "Your Excellency, your tableware is very strange. I have never seen it before. 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, and she dropped whatever she picked up. Du Wei was about to laugh, but who knew that the woman thought for a while, and when she started again, she became more precise! Although it is still a little jerky, but the movement is much smoother!

Du Wei was startled: This woman should be very smart!

She picked up a bean and put it in her mouth. The saint smiled and returned the chopsticks to Du Wei. Du Wei looked at the chopsticks. Just now, the saintess put vegetables into his mouth, and the tip of the chopsticks seemed to still have the taste of the saintess's bright red mouth, so he couldn't help being a little embarrassed.

But the saint suddenly stood up and bowed gracefully: "My lord, it's getting late, and the wine party tonight can be regarded as a windfall for me. Being able to have such an accident with you on such a night It's really an interesting thing to talk about wine. However, now I have to go 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 a good person. It's a pity...we are enemies, not friends.

If you meet on other occasions in the future, I will definitely not show mercy! My last sustenance in this life is revenge! And you...unfortunately, you are very high on my revenge list. "

After speaking, 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 saint 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 took the chopsticks in his hand, gently held each end with both hands, and then snapped them off, his tone was very indifferent: "Your Highness, I just found out today, in fact, you are not a hateful woman, you can even say, You are very pitiful... But, it is also very unfortunate that you choose to be my enemy. That is also a helpless thing. But I want to tell you one thing, usually people who are my enemy, there are only two ways to go !"

"Oh? Which two?" The saint sneered.

"The first one is...death!"

The saint seemed to have expected it, and said with a sneer, "Hmph, what about the second one?"

Du Wei smiled slightly: "Secondly... the death is ugly.".
