The 119th chapter "A Crack"
Magician's robe?
Du Wei glanced at his father. Although his heart was still at a loss, he seemed to have caught onto something.
"It's just that, it's just the identity of a magician, is it that important?" He smiled bitterly.
"If you were only a magician, even if you were directly given the rank of a senior magician, no one would care about you. But … the robe you're wearing is not an ordinary magician's robe! Magic scholar, humph … "Earl Raymond sneered.
Du Wei wanted to ask again, but the Earl suddenly closed his mouth. His face was somewhat cloudy and uncertain. After pondering for a moment, he slowly said: "Well, you just came back. These complicated matters, you'll know soon enough. Now is not the time to tell you everything … Oh right, you haven't seen your mother yet, she misses you very much every day. Last time on her birthday, the fireworks you sent made her very uncomfortable for a few days. Now that you've just come back and I've called you to come to my study, I'm afraid she must be very anxious. "
Du Wei immediately understood. He knew that his father still had some things to tell him. Du Wei didn't ask anymore. He immediately put down his wine glass and bowed with a smile: "Then father, I'll go see mother first."
"Go …" Earl Raymond waved his hand. But when Du Wei reached the door, he suddenly called out to him.
"Wait."
Hearing this, Du Wei stopped. His heart slightly moved, he turned to look at his father: "Do you have any other orders?"
"… …" Earl Raymond's pair of eyes revealed a complicated look. He carefully looked at his son for a long time, then asked in a low voice: "You … … don't have anything to say to me?"
His voice was slightly sharp. Looking at Du Wei, his eyes didn't seem as bright and sharp as before. Instead, there seemed to be some haze flashing through them.
"… No." Du Wei's heart skipped a beat, and the military crossbows seemed to flash through his mind. But for some reason, even though his father's words had dispelled most of his doubts, and this was the first time in all these years that his father had revealed the feelings of a father and son to him, Du Wei still seemed to have some hidden concerns, and didn't take the initiative to mention this matter.
Hearing Du Wei's answer, Earl Raymond bitterly smiled and then sighed. This time, he looked directly into Du Wei's eyes: "I heard that on your way here, you encountered some … … accidents?"
Du Wei's heart skipped a beat, but his face didn't show the slightest change. He just nodded and said in a calm tone, "Yes, but I encountered some robbers and was a little frightened."
Robbers?
In fact, Du Wei and Earl Raymond both understood that this was just a perfunctory excuse. Du Wei believed that even if he strictly ordered the cavalry leader not to speak about the military crossbows, this matter most likely couldn't be hidden from his father! After all, Earl Raymond is the patriarch, the object of the whole family's loyalty, and he himself is nothing more than a powerless young master in the family.
That cavalry leader dared to hide it from others, but he definitely wouldn't dare to hide it from his father.
Therefore, this is the last "question mark" in Du Wei's heart today.
Just now in the study, his father who had been cold to him since childhood suddenly became so affectionate to him, and even revealed so much fatherly affection … … Although it was touching, but Du Wei is no longer a teenager … … After two lives, his inner shrewdness and maturity are far deeper than anyone can imagine!
Even in the face of his father, Du-Wei doesn't dare to completely trust him.
"Robbers, huh … …" Earl Raymond's eyes also calmed down, and his face regained the dignity of a patriarch. But Du Wei can't help but fiercely jump a few times … …
He is waiting!
His heart is also looking forward to it.
He hopes that Earl Raymond will take the initiative to bring up the matter of the crossbows. If he takes the initiative to bring it up, then Du Wei will further believe this father who has been cold to him since childhood. Only then will he dare to believe that the affectionate words just now came from his father's heart!
However, in the midst of Earl Raymond's pondering, Du Wei's heart, little by little, turned cold … …
Sure enough, Earl Raymond smiled, and his smile was just as gentle as when he called him "son": "This matter is not simple, I will order the garrison to investigate. First, I will see if there are any bandits that have recently fled to the vicinity of the imperial capital." Speaking up to here, Earl Raymond coldly snorted, and with a dignified face, he slammed the table and shouted: "I want to see, under my eyes, who has the guts to brazenly touch my son! I'm afraid this matter is not done by any robbers, but by some other conspiracy! "
Finished speaking, he glanced at Du Wei, and his eyes once again turned to Ci He: "… … The matter of you being attacked, don't mention it to your mother, lest she worry."
"Yes." Du-Wei's heart sank, but on his face he piled up a flattered smile. Bowing to his father, he then carefully turned around and went out the door.
Coming out of the door, Du Wei looked at the bright sun in the sky. That glaring sunlight sprinkled on his body, and with the approaching summer, the sun was already full of warmth, but Du Wei only felt that the heart in his chest gradually turned cold!
He … … didn't say.
He didn't say!
As for the matter of the crossbows … … Father, he didn't mention a word!
His body was shrouded in the sun, and already slightly warm, Du Wei felt his heart sink deeply, and his mouth slightly tasted a trace of bitterness.
He didn't mention a word ah!
Although there was still a smile on his face, Du Wei's eyes couldn't help but dim.
Regarding the matter of the crossbows, Du Wei deliberately intimidated the cavalry leader, but in fact, he secretly left behind a test to test his father!
Of course, he wasn't naive enough to think that the cavalry leader didn't dare to offend the family's neglected young master, and hid such an important matter from the patriarch! In fact, at this moment, Earl Raymond must be aware of these details!
Du Wei was waiting to see if his father would be honest with him!
If he did, then perhaps Du Wei would further believe this father who suddenly changed his attitude towards him. If he didn't say … … In a situation where both of them were well aware, he deliberately pretended not to know … … Clearly, he was avoiding this question.
Outside the courtyard, Captain Alpha was standing right outside the courtyard, waving at Du Wei with a smile.
Du Wei coughed and strode over. Looking at Du Wei, Alpha's expression was very gentle: "Did the Earl reprimand you again?"
Du Wei shook his head and smiled: "No, he didn't. But father seemed to be a lot kinder to me, so just now I was a little surprised and absent-minded. "
He concealed it very well, even if others now know that this young master is not an idiot, but a genius. But after all, with his age, no one would think that a 14 year old child could be so scheming.
Captain Alpha smiled and suddenly patted Du Wei lightly: "Young master, go see the Madame. While you were in the study, the Madame had anxiously sent people several times. "
Du Wei's expression became happy, and his eyes revealed a happy look. Saying goodbye to Alpha, he directly went to the Earl's mansion's backyard to see the Countess.
After Du Wei left, Alpha calmly walked into the courtyard and opened the door to the study.
In the entire Earl's mansion, only this captain has this privilege, to directly enter the Earl's study without knocking.
In the study, Earl Raymond has already sat behind the desk, his face showing a thoughtful expression.
"How is he?" Looking up at Alpha, Earl Raymond sighed.
"The young master went to see the Madame." Alpha stood at the door and closed it.
"When he went out, was there anything unusual?"
Thinking for a moment, Alpha shook his head.
The look in Earl Raymond's eyes deepened. After a long while, he suddenly laughed, with a trace of mockery and anger, he coldly said: "This son of mine, although he's still young, but he has a lot of thoughts … … Regarding this assassination, it seems he didn't dare to trust anyone, he even hid it from me! The cavalry captain next to him was warned by him not to speak carelessly … … Alpha, do you think he is suspicious of me? "
Alpha lowered his head and thought for a moment, then steadily said: "Sir, those crossbows have military markings, so it is normal for the young master to be suspicious. Not to mention … … your relationship with him is not good. Then just now you … …? "
"I didn't say anything just now, I just pretended not to know." Earl Raymond sneered: "The little guy has grown up, he is very smart, and his temper is good enough. After suffering such a big loss, he actually knows to swallow his anger, and also knows to warn the people around him to keep it a secret. But after all, he is still too young, and his experience is still too shallow. How could the people in the family dare to hide it from me? But this is also good, I can take advantage of the situation and pretend not to know, so as to avoid him asking me, I can't answer! "
At this moment, his expression was resolute and cold, where was the benevolent father from a moment ago?
Pausing for a moment, the sharpness in Earl Raymond's eyes gradually dissipated, and he lightly said: "This matter, the cavalry captain spoke too much! If it wasn't for him talking too much about the military crossbows, how could a little child like Du Wei understand these things? Humph, he spoke too much, but I have no choice but to play dumb on this matter … … I think today, my son is very smart, but I'm afraid he won't be willing to open his heart to me … … As for that talkative guy, you can properly deal with him. "
"Yes." Alpha nodded, as if hesitating for a moment, then hesitantly said: "Sir … …"
Earl Raymond glanced at him, and his face relaxed a little: "Alright, Alpha, there is only the two of us here. Between us, you don't need to have any scruples about what we say."
Alpha sighed: "Sir, Master Du Wei is so smart, and the way he handled this matter is also quite good. For the family to have such a young talent, isn't this what you have been hoping for for many years? I think Master Du Wei will certainly be extraordinary in the future … … "
"That will also depend on the future." Earl Raymond powerlessly shook his head: "Right now, both sides are pressuring me to the point that I can't breathe … … whether or not I can pass this hurdle … … I'm not sure. As for my son, let's see if the gods will take care of him!"
At the end of his speech, Earl Raymond's face flashed a trace of green, and his eyes revealed a trace of determination!
