GOR Chapter 627 The Little Emperor's Acting Skills
The wide surface of the river was only tens of steps away.
Du Wei stood on the shallow bank of the river. The soil beneath his feet was still faintly tinged with red. Just two to three months ago, tens of thousands of people had sworn an oath to fight to the death here. Tens of thousands of people had used their blood to dye the soil here red.
At this moment, facing the gentle breeze, Chen Xiaolian closed his eyes and listened carefully. It was as though the sound of the wind could still be heard from the battlefield – the battle cries of the army, the roar of the iron hooves, the roar of the warriors, the collision of metal, the sharp ear-piercing sound of weapons piercing flesh, the sound of bones breaking …
Du Wei sighed. In his hand were several large leather pouches. He unscrewed the lids and poured the wine from the pouches onto the soil. The wine poured into the soil and quickly seeped down …
Seemingly in a daze, Duwei stared at the water stains on the ground. Only then did he let out a sigh and mumbled a few words in a low voice.
After pouring out the wine from the two leather pouches, Du Wei stepped forward. He strode to the riverside and stood on the bank. He unscrewed the last wine pouch in his hand and poured the wine into the river …
There was a trace of seriousness on his face. Far away, on the other side of the river, the castle built by the sinners could be faintly seen. He could also see the figures of some wolf riders patrolling back and forth across the river. Even from such a distance, Du Wei could feel the murderous and hateful gazes of the orcs.
After standing on the riverside for a good half an hour, Du Wei suddenly smiled. He seemed to be talking to himself: "Do you know? Right now, I really want to recite a poem or two to express my feelings. Unfortunately … … I am a boor. I know nothing about poetry. "
A chuckle came from behind him. The sound of the chuckle carried a trace of indifference. It was a very soft voice. However, when he heard it, there was an eternal chill.
"You are the world famous Duke of the Tulip Family. When people talk about you, they will praise you for your erudition. If you say you're a boor, I'm afraid others will think you're a hypocrite! "
Du Wei smiled and turned around to look at the woman standing in front of him. Looking at her long blonde hair, and even though he had seen her many times, every time he looked at her, he would still be stunned by her beauty and her eyes that were always closed.
"Hypocrite … Very good, you're starting to learn how to use this word. You have to know that this word is the most suitable adjective for the human race. "Du Wei said as his eyes fell on her hair." Your hair grows so fast. It's only been a few days, but it's grown so long again. "
The Queen of Medusa, Miss Nicole, stood in front of Du Wei. Under the sunlight, her beautiful face was even more captivating. The corners of her mouth curled into a smile, and little by little, the smile spread across her face: "Duwei, you left behind so many things in the city, and hid here to put on such a compassionate look, isn't that hypocritical?"
Du Wei's face changed and he no longer had a smile on his face. He took a deep breath and a trace of exhaustion appeared in his eyes. "Nicole, you don't understand. Although you've learned a lot, you don't understand how I feel right now … you don't understand how I felt when I saw tens of thousands of my subordinates die on the battlefield under my command. "I remember when I led the army to counterattack from Ajin City. I watched as the countless soldiers cheered for me and pledged their loyalty to me. At that time, I felt a sense of satisfaction, as though I had everything under my control. "However, in the blink of an eye, those who cheered for me and pledged their lives to me, who knows how many of them died here …"
He pointed at the surrounding riverbank and the river before him. "Those people, just a moment ago, they were still passionately shouting, roaring, excited and crazy. In the next moment, they fell here, turning into cold corpses. " After saying that, his face turned even uglier. He appeared somewhat tired and his voice grew deeper. "Nicole, if I were to tell you that the reason I came here today to remember them is because I truly feel somewhat guilty, because I truly feel somewhat emotional, and not because of your hypocrisy … would you believe me?"
Nicole, the Queen of Medusa, did not immediately answer. She tilted her head slightly, which made her look even more moving. It was as though she was listening to the sound of the wind for a while before she softly opened her mouth.
"I believe you."
Du Wei's face revealed a trace of emotion. He bent down and grabbed a handful of soil. "Look, in this soil, who knows how much blood has seeped out. I think, in a few years, when the war is over, if we turn this land into farmland, the soil here will be very fertile. "
His voice was somewhat cruel. His fingertips exerted a bit of force, and the soil in his hand was gently crushed. The soil slowly fell through the gaps between his fingers.
"I never knew that you were such a sentimental person." Medusa slowly said, "I have heard that among humans, only those with weak personalities would be sentimental. However, based on my interactions with you, you do not seem like a weak person. "
Du Wei shook his head. "I am a sheep in wolf's clothing. Because in this world, sheep could not survive. They would only be eaten. In order to not be eaten, I have to disguise myself as a wolf. "
After saying that, he took a few steps forward and stood side by side with Nicole. They looked at the other side of the river …
After a long time, Du Wei spoke up in a whisper, "I have a secret. Do you want to hear it?"
"It seems you are really depressed. I have heard that humans will only want to share their secrets with others when they are depressed. " Medusa revealed a faint smile of ridicule. "However, your secret, Du Wei, must be very interesting. I am willing to hear it."
"Those sinners are currently our biggest enemy." Du Wei spoke out in a peculiar tone. "Those enemies who killed many humans and invaded our land … truth be told, in my heart …"
He moved his mouth close to Nicole's ear and whispered, "In my heart, I do not hate them at all. I do not think they are guilty."
Nicole raised her head and 'looked' at Du Wei in shock. Although she did not open her eyes, there was a look of surprise on her face. "You had better not say those words out loud, otherwise …"
"Naturally, I am not that stupid." Du Wei harrumphed.
"If so, why?" Nicole tilted her head.
Du Wei clasped his hands behind his back and looked at the north bank.
"We have beef and mutton on the table. If so, are we, the ones who eat the beef and mutton, guilty? We are not. However, the beef and mutton that we eat, are they guilty? Should they be eaten? Naturally, they are not guilty. "
After saying that, Du Wei shook his head. "If so, who is guilty? Who is guilty? "
For a moment, the two of them stood side by side in silence, allowing the breeze to caress their faces. After a long time …

Before Charlie and his attendants could approach the Commander's Mansion, they were stopped by the guards.
"This is a restricted area! Please show your identification and indicate your identity! "
The guard blocking the way had a stiff expression on his face. The surrounding soldiers also looked at Charlie and his entourage with cold eyes.
The little Emperor's face did not show any displeasure. He tilted his head and looked at the attendant beside him. One of the attendants stepped forward. "We are from the imperial capital and we wish to see the Duke of the Tulip Family."
"The imperial capital?" The guard coldly asked. "You are from the military?"
"Err … we are only personal friends of the Duke." The guard's tone was somewhat vague.
Fortunately, the enemies that were fighting against the humans were the Sinners, so although the soldiers were a little suspicious of the other party's vague tone, the people in front of them were obviously humans and couldn't be enemy spies.
"The Duke has ordered that he will not see any guests!"
When the guard heard the guard's stiff words, he could not help but feel annoyed. Just as he was about to flare up, Charlie gently pulled him back. The little Emperor smiled. "In that case, we will go back first."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left. The guard beside him quickly followed. The guard leader didn't forget to turn his head and glare at the guard soldier fiercely.
Humph, when I was in the imperial capital, not to mention a small soldier, even the nobles of the imperial palace had to be polite to me. This Duke of the Tulip Family's guard, what arrogance!
"Your Majesty …" The guard caught up a few steps and whispered to Charlie. "What do you think of us …"
"It's nothing. It just so happens that I want to walk around and see more in private." Charlie raised his smiling face. His young and tender face seemed to be pure.
The news of His Majesty the Emperor personally coming to the frontline to comfort and reward the soldiers had actually spread a long time ago. However, it was said that His Majesty the Emperor's carriage was still under the strict protection of thousands of palace guards and was slowly moving on the road to the north.
Moreover, according to the previous decision, in order to ensure the safety of His Majesty the Emperor, he would not come to the frontline stronghold. Here at the eastern frontline, the place where the troops were rewarded was set up at the geographically safer Yajin City which was located at the rear.
No one would've thought that this little Emperor, who was educated by Du Wei, would actually take advantage of this opportunity to run all the way to the enemy's fortress just because Du Wei told him a few stories of "incognito travel" a few years ago. Because of this, no one would've thought that this little Emperor, who was educated by Du Wei, would actually take advantage of this opportunity to run all the way to the enemy's fortress!
Charlie led a group of guards around the stronghold a few more times.
Fortunately, there were many places in the stronghold that had recruited a lot of laborers. Although it was the frontline, there were still many patriotic human chambers of commerce who would send some donated materials to the stronghold. Because the enemy was not human, there was no need to worry about spies sneaking in. In this stronghold, there were also some representatives from the Empire's chambers of commerce.
Charlie and his group did not stand out too much in the stronghold.
However, after going around a few times and walking through a few streets, little Charlie did not know that his every word and action was being secretly watched.
One by one, the news of the little Emperor's presence in the city quickly reached Du Wei's hands.
In the evening, Du Wei returned to the Commander's Residence. He flipped through a thin booklet that had been sent to him. The booklet recorded the places that the little Emperor had been in the city today, what he had seen, what he had heard, and even who he had spoken to. It was all recorded in detail.
"He is still a child after all," Du Wei smiled faintly. "Does he really think that incognito visits are such a simple game?"
In fact, little Charlie and his group had left the main group of carriages and quietly headed north. Before they reached the stronghold, they had already been discovered by Du Wei's men in Jinya City.
Du Wei was not a fool. With such a group of skilled people protecting a young boy and knowing that the little Emperor had personally gone to the frontline to comfort the army, even a fool could guess what was going on.
However, since the little Emperor was willing to play the fool and show his wisdom and closeness to the people, Du Wei was happy to play along.
Therefore, Du Wei simply sent people to secretly monitor and protect him while he deliberately avoided them. He also deliberately left an order in the Commander's Residence: Apart from military affairs, he would not see any outsiders.
He even transferred all the officers who had seen the little Emperor and recognized him, including his own brother, out of the stronghold. In case they met, they would not be able to continue playing this game.
If you want to play a game, then let's play!
Du Wei could more or less guess what little Charlie was thinking.
He wanted to play a game of incognito visits, pretending to go deep into the grassroots, showing his wisdom and wisdom, and showing his closeness to the people. Finally, he would quietly come to the Commander's Residence and meet with him in private, giving him a "big surprise".
After that … … this little Emperor, he probably wanted to continue playing the game of courteous to the wise in front of him. Look, teacher, in order to meet you, I took such a big risk. With my dignity as the Emperor, I abandoned a large group of Imperial Guards and ran to this dangerous frontline alone! Such sincerity, aren't you touched? You would be embarrassed to not appreciate it, right? So, don't beat around the bush anymore. Be honest and pledge your loyalty to me. Du Wei did not even need to guess. This was what this little guy meant!
However, Du Wei did not want to get too close to this little Emperor. Therefore, he avoided him.
Do you like acting? Very well, then you can act out your one-man show by yourself.
Whether it was as a Duke of the Empire or as a teacher, Du Wei had already tried to wake this child up in the Imperial Capital. Unfortunately, it did not seem to have any effect.
Unfortunately, at night, this little Emperor's patience seemed to be much better than Du Wei expected. After circling around the city, he ran to a merchant group that was donating supplies to the north and stayed there for the night.
That night, Du Wei also welcomed a special guest – the chief warrior of the palace, the head of the guards, Chick.
Chick came to see Du Wei alone. He brought a secret order, so the guards of the Commander's Residence could not stop him.
After seeing Du Wei, the first thing this solemn head of the palace guards said was, "Is His Majesty well?"
Such a direct question made Du Wei unable to play dumb even if he wanted to.
Du Wei could only smile and say, "He is well. I have arranged people around where he is staying. It is very safe here. "
"This is the front line. The sinner army is on the north bank." Chick shook his head solemnly.
"In the battle a few days ago, I set fire to the pontoon bridge after the battle. Now, even if the enemy wants to attack, it will take a day to build the pontoon bridge. Don't worry, they won't cross the river so easily. "Du Wei comforted Chick.
Chick looked at Du Wei with some dissatisfaction in his eyes. "Duke, since you already know that His Majesty secretly came here, why didn't you bring him to the Commander's Residence? There are too many people in the city, what if … "
Du Wei pursed his lips, meaning: He is the Emperor. If he wants to go incognito, what can I do?
However, now that Chick had come, Du Wei could not hide. He could pretend that he did not know, but now that he knew, he could not deliberately leave His Majesty in the city.
The next day, Du Wei and Chick personally went to the place where Little Charlie was staying. Leading a group of soldiers, they brought the little Emperor into the Commander's Residence in a low-key and secretive manner.
Fortunately … … Chick is one of Prince Son's people. Little Charlie seems to be too embarrassed to perform the "courtesy" act in front of Du Wei in front of Chick. Sigh, Du Wei is starting to have a headache. He regretted teaching this little guy so many things in the first place.
He wanted to tell the little Emperor: Don't worry, your old man is seriously ill. Who knows when he will die, so you don't need to worry at all. You just need to wait patiently.
But in the end, he couldn't say that.
From the looks of it, this little Emperor seemed to be really anxious to a certain extent.
After returning to the Commander's Residence with Du Wei, Little Charlie almost couldn't wait to send Chick away. Then, he finally found a chance to be alone with Du Wei. Looking at Du Wei with eyes full of sincerity, Little Charlie suddenly let out a deep sigh.
"Teacher, could it be that I'm really so unworthy of your attention? Or am I really stupid and unworthy of your guidance? "
Seeing this, Du Wei found it funny. This little kid actually learned how to act in this kind of "resentful" scene. What a pity, if he wasn't an Emperor, he would be a good actor.
Unfortunately, no matter how good his acting is, he is still just a child. In front of a wily old fox like Du Wei, he naturally wouldn't be deceived by his appearance. Therefore, Du Wei only smiled faintly and casually said a few words to appease Little Charlie before changing the topic.
Seeing that his acting didn't work, Little Charlie didn't feel discouraged. Instead, he mysteriously smiled and said a sentence.
When this sentence was said, Du Wei couldn't help but take it seriously!
"Teacher."
Little Charlie looked at Du Wei with an innocent gaze: "Speaking of which, there is one more thing ….. Erm, on the way up north, I met someone. It was Madam Lister's sister, Miss Muse."
【That's it for today. The day after tomorrow is the New Year. Today, I went out to do some shopping, so I didn't have much time to write. Ai, shopping for New Year's goods and gifts to show filial piety to both parents and elders. Haha, the New Year's is going to be a lot of money ~ ^ _ ^】
