Four hundred and ninetieth eight chapters [very big]
Chapter 498 [Big, Big]
After Du Wei heard this, he couldn't help but feel a chill rushing from his heels to the back of his head! Suddenly a thought came to his mind: Does the Regent know? He knows?
How did he "bully" his future princess, Miss Delly, and if he found a husband for Princess Louise...he knew everything?
But then, Prince Chen's words made Du Wei's heart return to his stomach.
His Highness smiled lightly and said: "I know that Delly has made some small moves in the northwest for her family... But, just punish her a little. After all, she is my future princess. Do you plan to keep her forever?"
Keep her in prison, haha, for my sake, let her come back."
Du Wei let out a long sigh of relief.
It seems that Prince Chen doesn't know much! He only knows that Delly made some small moves in the northwest and was captured by him... After all, Longbottom led people to massacre all of Delly's guards. There is no news about such a big thing.
It is inevitable to be exposed.
Moreover, from what Prince Chen said... at least Du Wei was sure that to Prince Chen, Delly was just a future princess, just a woman!
Given Prince Chen's wisdom, in his heart, he is much more important than a woman! Therefore, his tone does not seem to contain the slightest blame, but is instead a tone of gentle persuasion.
"Your Highness, you are joking." Du Wei immediately smiled calmly: "Although Miss Dai Li is a bit more naughty, as a minister, how dare I imprison the future princess? It's just because the two ladies are delicate.
In the bitter cold land of the northwest, the two of you were feeling a little unwell a few days ago, which delayed the trip. Don't worry, you two will arrive in the imperial capital safely within the next few days. I will send someone to protect the two ladies closely.
There is no need to worry about your safety, Your Highness."
"That's good." Prince Chen smiled lightly: "Well, you can go ahead."
Watching Du Wei walk out, the smile on Prince Chen's face slowly turned into a bitter smile. He touched his chin and murmured to himself: "Oh... what a Du Wei. I
Although I admire you very much, you are a bit too courageous. Huh. Although that Delly is just a woman in a political marriage, she is my fiancée by name after all. I will detain you as you say. This is the way to do things.
Your courage is too outrageous. If I don't keep hammering you, I'm afraid you will become more and more shameless in the future."
He turned around, tapped the table with his fingers, and whispered: "Du Wei, Du Wei. It's really not an easy task to control a talent like yours."
When Du Wei walked out of Prince Chen's study, he was blown by the evening breeze and immediately felt a chill on his body. Only then did he feel that his cold sweat had soaked through the clothes underneath!
It was really a false alarm just now.
If Prince Chen knew that he had stripped his fiancée naked and imprisoned him in a dungeon, and that he had had "intimate" contact with her... No matter how generous he was and how little he cared about that woman, as a man,
It's hard to endure this kind of thing.
And to find a husband for her sister. Using that kind of trick to plot against his sister, I’m afraid no brother in the world would be able to tolerate someone plotting against his sister like that.
With this mood, Du Wei came to the old emperor's palace. Outside the palace, he saw two palace magicians in red robes guarding the place.
"Duke Tulip." The two court magicians were quite polite to Du Wei, but their tone was still cold.
"I need to go in and use some medicine on 'him'." Du Wei said calmly, "If you are worried, just follow me in and watch from the side."
The two looked at each other. They were both hesitant. After all, they were also magicians and knew the rules of the magician circle: when a magician is making some secret magic potions, other magicians are absolutely not welcome to visit.
Yes! Because most magicians regard their secret recipes and techniques as treasures and would never let others learn them secretly.
The two hesitated for a moment, and then one of them said: "My lord, please go in first, we... will go in after a while... Well, I don't know how long it will take, sir?"
"Not much." Du Wei smiled lightly: "A few minutes is enough."
With that said, he swaggered into the palace.
In the huge palace, several candlesticks were lit. Groom, still dressed in luxurious clothes, stood in front of the mirror. When Duwei walked in, the tailor's eyes looked a little sad.
Even when Du Wei walked up behind him, he clearly saw it but didn't say a word and just looked at himself in the mirror.
"What are you thinking about?" Du Wei asked in a low voice.
"I'm thinking...it would be better if I didn't have such an appearance. In that case, when looking for a substitute, I wouldn't be chosen." Groom's voice was very low, and Duwei could tell that he
There was some fear in his eyes, but more of despair.
Finally, he turned around and forced a smile to Du Wei: "Sir... is it time?"
"Yes." Du Wei nodded.
Suddenly, Du Wei stretched out his hand and patted Groom on the shoulder, then moved his fingers gently, and silently, a transparent dim yellow light enveloped the two of them!
"Grum, time is running out now, just listen to me and don't ask questions! We only have a short time! Now I use a magic, don't worry about my words being heard by others! There is only enough time for me to say it once,
If you understand, just nod your head!"
Grum was stunned for a moment and nodded quickly.
"According to our plan, you must die tonight. After you die, they will take your body to a place and bury it quietly."
As he said that, Du Wei took out a green bottle from his arms: "This is a bottle of medicine I prepared. If you drink it now, this bottle of medicine can put you into a state of suspended animation! It will make you feel like sleeping.
It's like being drugged, and the body enters a dormant state... But I haven't tested the efficacy of the medicine. I don't even know how long it can last you! Remember, stick the pill inside in the gap between your teeth for a while.
!When they kill you, you swallow it quietly at the last moment...and then...maybe you can save your life!"
Grum's expression changed dramatically! But Du Wei's stern eyes made him dare not speak.
"Listen, I can't guarantee how long the effect of this medicine will last. Maybe you will be buried alive after being buried as a corpse. And I can't find out where you were buried! So I can only
Put a magic mark on your body...a clever magic mark. This magic mark will not react until a day later! But before that, even I can't find where you are! Because people outside are also palace magic
Master, general magic marks will be felt by them! So... I mean, the medicine I gave you, I am not sure whether it can make you fake death for a day! If you wake up early during this day
, and the magic mark on your body did not trigger my reaction, I can't find you... Then you will really be buried alive and die! But no matter what, this is your only chance to survive! Do you understand?
If you understand, just nod to me!"
Seeing Groom nodding quickly, Duwei unscrewed the cap of the bottle. He stuffed a pill into Groom's mouth and carefully stuck it between his teeth.
Grum's whole body was shaking! Understandably, when a person who thought he was dead suddenly had a chance to survive, his mood swings can be imagined!
Finally, the tailor squeezed out a difficult word from his throat. It was obvious that he was very excited and his voice was trembling. He almost cried: "Why... why, sir!"
A complicated expression flashed across Du Wei's face. Instead of looking at Groom, he looked at the ceiling and sighed: "Some people say that I am not a good leader... I thought about it for two days before I figured it out.
…”
He smiled: "I am indeed not a good leader!!"
Then he glared at Groom fiercely: "Okay! No more nonsense! Put away your tears before I change my mind! Otherwise, people coming in from the outside will see the flaw!"
Groom "died" peacefully.
This is what the two court magicians reported to Prince Chen.
After they waited outside the palace for a while, when they entered the palace, nothing was abnormal. Du Wei stood there, and the dying man had a desperate expression on his face.
Then, the two magicians took out a bottle of poison and gave Grum to drink it.
But the only episode was that the two of them were going to use magic to melt Grum's "corpse" on the spot! But Duwei stopped this action.
His explanation was that because Grum had drunk the aging potion he had prepared before, some strange magic potions remained in his body, and other magic potions could no longer be used to dissolve his body, otherwise
If so, it may neutralize a terrible thing. If this kind of thing spreads through the air in the palace, it will cause some dangers and so on...
After all, Du Wei's magical power lies there. If he said this, others would not dare to doubt it easily.
However, although the two court magicians gave up dissolving Grum's body on the spot, they still did a "safe" thing: they cut the corpse's throat and trachea with their own hands!
In this way, we are 100% sure that this guy is indeed dead.
Du Wei saw this and did not show the slightest emotion. Just cut him off. As long as he didn't wake up early when he found this guy three days later, Groom, who was in a state of "suspended death", would
Even if the trachea is severed, Du Wei can still find a way to heal it.
In order not to arouse suspicion, Duwei did not ask where Groom's body would be buried.
Fortunately, Roland Continent does not have the habit of burning corpses, because "cremation" is considered an extreme method in Roland Continent: only monsters and evil heretics will be burned to death!
Ordinary people, even out of basic respect for the deceased, would not burn the body of the deceased.
Of course, if these people really burned Grum's body, there was nothing Duwei could do, at least he had tried his best.
Just like what he said, Du Wei is indeed not a truly ruthless leader... Some parts of his heart are still a little soft. He still retains some things that should be completely eradicated.
No one knew that the "His Majesty the Emperor" who attended the "Qingfeng Festival" celebration that night was killed that night.
The celebrations on the Harvest Festival lasted until midnight, and at midnight, the entire imperial capital set off the kind of fireworks invented by Duke Tulip.
Such an all-night celebration made the streets particularly deserted the next morning.
Even the registration office for the Knights Association's tournament, which was originally very popular, was much deserted the next day because people celebrated the festival too late the night before.
However, our Lord Tulip Duke rode to the headquarters of the Knights Association early in the morning!
After his soldiers knocked hard on the door for half an hour, Knight Delon, who was wearing a nightgown, sleepily opened the heavy wooden door and was stunned when he saw Du Wei outside.
"Oh my God!" Delong screamed strangely: "Grand Duke, what do you want so early in the morning? I heard that you attended the celebration dinner in the palace last night. Did you party all night and stayed up all night?
, and then came to treat me to breakfast?"
Du Wei put his hands behind his hands and smiled slightly: "My friend, of course it's okay to treat you to breakfast. But before that, I want you to do something for me."
"Huh?" Deron blinked.
Du Wei finally stretched out his hand, loosened his fingers, and in his palm was a knight's badge. This was exactly the knight's badge that he had personally "awarded" to Du Wei the night before.
"What's wrong? Grand Duke? Is there something wrong with this badge?"
"No, no, no." Du Wei laughed: "Your Excellency Delong! I, Du Wei Luolin Rudolf, am eighteen years old and a ninth-level mainland knight! Sign up to participate in the world's best martial arts tournament!"
Delong opened his mouth and stared at Du Wei: "You...you signed up for the competition?!"
Looking at the president's big mouth, which was big enough to stuff two eggs, Du Wei laughed heartily, put his arm around Delong's shoulders, and then pushed him: "Okay! My friend! Go in and wash up! I
I’ll take you out for breakfast...then I have a good plan to make a fortune, I think you will be interested!!”
"Get rich?" Delong's eyes immediately lit up: "Get rich? Uh, how big can it be?"
"It's very, very big..." Du Wei smiled sinisterly.
