Chapter 331 [A Roasted Pork Leg]
Chen Daolin sighed.
It's not that easy...
Hilo did not send anyone to block his magic, because he was too confident that he believed that he had seized Barossa and others and took his weakness.
However, it is not so easy to save people when Barossa and others are placed under house arrest.
Chen Daolin hid behind a bushes and looked at him a few times. When he saw clearly the guards holding axe guns standing at the gate of the small courtyard in the distance, and the fact that he had just walked past a team of patrols, he was a little relieved. But then he saw a red mage robe floating by on the terrace on the second floor, and knew that he was going to have a headache.
This Shilo actually sent a palace mage to guard Barossa and the others...
Chen Daolin is very self-aware. Although the entire emperor regards himself as a "genius magician" who creates miracles, the youngest magic professor in the magic academy, and the most rare magic genius in a century... However, he is very clear that if he competes for practical combat ability, he has just crossed the intermediate threshold at most, and in his experience in practical magic use, he is just a rookie.
When I protected Dean Carmen to escape, I was able to kill several magicians along the way, purely because of the special conditions of the right time and place, and not a true portrayal of the comparison of strength between the two sides.
If you want to forcibly rush in to save people, just one palace mage is enough to hold you back. It is expected that countless palace imperial guards will come in the future - catching turtles in a jar, so let others do it. I don’t have the interest in being an old turtle.
After silently looking at the small courtyard, Chen Daolin pinched a few bags of things in his arms and silently sank into the bushes.
If you can't attack forcefully, then your only chance is to see if there is any possibility of pulling away these guards, especially the palace mages who are standing here!
How can we lead the palace mage?
Chen Daolin hid in the bushes and turned around to look into the deep palace complex. Then his eyes fell on the towering magic tower.
In the afternoon sun, the tower stands in the center of the palace.
(I think I have heard that the magicians in this palace all have a strict iron rule...)
Chen Daolin has always been aware of the principle of hitting a snake and hitting seven inches. When he was young, he knew that Chen Daolin had used the high-end skill of using the vaginal foot to lift his vagina.
Then, the magic tower standing there... such a huge "ovape" is simply the most suitable one!
...
When the new emperor went on a trip, two teams of fully armed imperial guards opened the way, and after the royal carriage, they followed two red-clothed mages riding on horseback.
Sitting in the carriage, Hilo couldn't tell what kind of mood he was in his heart.
If it were the past, he would never have been so excited about such a woman's letter. However, after experiencing the night of the coup, he forced his brother to death with his own hands. After experiencing the deaths of Luo Xiaogou and Kaman in the hall that day, Shilo felt that his heart was suddenly completely hollowed out!
Even though there are still ambitions and ambitions, even if there are still those dignity, those pride and those self-confidence.
But whenever it was late at night, he always felt a poisonous snake was desperately biting his heart!
Empty! My heart was completely empty, as if I could not even fill my ambitions to conquer the world.
The moment his brother finally died, the moment he put on the crown, Shilo knew that he had completely lost the so-called "family affection", and when Luo Xiaogou and Kaman, two friends who were young, died in front of him, Shilo knew that he would probably have no chance of "friendship" in his life.
This is why he suddenly felt so anxious the night before yesterday that he was almost out of control and sent someone to bring Lodel into the palace.
like?
Maybe it's right.
But only Shilo knew in his heart that he just felt empty and uncomfortable! Without family affection and friendship, then, perhaps the girl he once liked could bring him a little warmth?
A little bit of the warmth that human nature should have?
Shilo had never studied psychology, so he didn't know that he was in this state, which was the loneliness and loneliness that arises instinctively after all the emotions around him passed away.
Rather than saying that he is Ellodell, he needs Lodell.
At this moment, Hilo needs an emotion to fill the "emptiness" in his heart. This emotion can be friendship or family affection. Of course, if it is love, it can be too.
Listening to the wheels rolling, Shilo suddenly wanted to smile bitterly.
My mentality at this moment is like a young and ignorant boy who is ignorant and has been to meet his sweetheart for the first time, young and nervous?
The content of Lodell's letter was simple: she wanted to talk to herself.
What to talk about? Of course Hilo would not think that in less than two days, the girl would change her mind?
Shilo guessed that perhaps she wanted to beg herself to let her father go and forgive her family. After carrying the heavy responsibility of the entire family, this girl, the proud girl, finally tried to surrender to herself?
What Shilo really wants is not this. He knows very well that he hopes that this girl will treat him sincerely.
But if you can't get the sincerity, you can settle for the second best and get her surrender, right?
What no one knows is that what Hilo really longs for in his heart may be just a warm embrace.
Even if this embrace is not sincere, even if this embrace is just due to the factor of surrender.
But the person in his arms must be the one whom he recognizes: Lodell meets this standard.
The place where Lodell met with him was not the Liszt family's mansion, but a small courtyard.
This courtyard is located in the south of the imperial capital and is not close to the imperial palace. However, Hilo is not unfamiliar with this place.
When he was very young, he once went to that place, which was a magical courtyard. There was a towering ancient tree in that courtyard. In autumn, a small stove would be set up under the tree, and an old man with white hair and white clothes would be wrapped in a thick blanket. Sitting in a chair under the tree, boiling a pot of good tea with gentle movements.
The old man was once recognized as the wisest person, the most knowledgeable person, and the most knowledgeable wise man in the imperial capital. He had many outstanding disciples. When he was young, he had visited the wise old man under the arrangement of the royal family, and studied there for several months.
Tulip, Rollin, Lister... Several families in the empire have some close relationships with the old man, including the children of the royal family. When they were young, they would be sent to study with the old man for a while.
A few years later, I was already a "foodie prince", but no matter where I went, every time I returned to the imperial capital, I would go to that small courtyard and devote the food I had collected from all over the world to the wise old man.
In my memory, every time the old man saw himself, he would have a hint of melancholy and helplessness in his eyes.
That kind of wise look. Hilo had never seen it in the eyes of the second person. It seemed that when the old man looked at him, he was not looking at a "spoiled playboy" and "foodie prince" who were ridiculed by all the nobles. There was deep sorrow and pity in his eyes.
Shilo firmly believed that the old man could see through his disguise! But he never exposed himself. He would happily enjoy the food he made himself.
He once commented that his ability to cook food is the second most he can see in his life.
The first-ranked one is the legendary first-generation Tulip Du Wei!
That is where
Of course, Lodell has been there, and was sent when she was five or six years old. However, Lodell was not lucky, and she only followed the old man for two months. The old man died of illness.
The first time I met Lodell was in the old man's courtyard.
I remember that time, I brought a particularly delicious fish from the south. The dried fish meat that was air-dried into pieces has a special deliciousness and fishy smell. However, after being thrown into the pot and cooked for two, it will become soft and delicious. Then it will be squeezed into a thin pancake and paired with two refreshing green melon shreds. It will make people want to swallow their tongues when they enter the mouth.
At that time, Lodell was only six years old. He hid behind a big tree and watched himself and the old man enjoy delicious food. The cute little girl who had fallen out of ice and snow drooled invisibly on the spot.
After that, the little girl got stuck with her and always liked to hang out with her butt.
When the old scholar passed away, Lodell cried more sadly than anyone else. She had a deep affection for the old scholar, and she was the last disciple of the old scholar.
Of course, Hilo knew that another reason why she cried sadly was: after the old scholar passed away, she would be taken back to the family castle and left the imperial capital. She would never see herself again and eat those delicacies again.
But it doesn't matter. Since then, I have developed another habit: every time I wander around from all over the world, before returning to the imperial capital, I would first go to the castle of Liszt's house to see the little girl and share the food I brought with her.
This habit lasted for several years until she gradually grew up and became the first beauty recognized by the imperial aristocratic circle...
How many times have I wanted to ask her a question: If one day I become the emperor, would you be my queen?
This sentence has been wandering in my heart countless times, but never asked.
Because... I am afraid! I have been enduring and I have always warned myself to be careful and be cautious, and never reveal any flaws!
He would rather endure the emotions in his heart than show any trace.
Until the end...Once, I came back from the southern swamp and brought back a roasted black pig legs smoked by the locals. The two of them hid on the river beach behind the castle, and spent a whole night, gnawing on one pig legs...
The little girl with meat scraps on her mouth looked at herself with her bright eyes and asked herself a question: If you bring such a delicious pork leg on the day of my coming-of-age ceremony, will I marry you?
The girl's house is the girl's house, and even confessing her love is so shy.
At that time, I almost said the word "good" from my mouth.
However... that was the last time I went to Liszt's castle and shared delicious food with her!
But now... my brother was forced to death by himself, and my young friends such as Kamanro puppy and Goth were killed by himself... When I woke up from my sleep with sweat in the middle of the night, I asked myself, what would have been if I had promised that little girl?
A roasted pork leg is exchanged for the heart of a girl who truly loves herself.
Very worth it, isn't it?
...
When the carriage stopped at the entrance of the courtyard, the imperial guards were ordered by Hilo to stay at the intersection and were not allowed to enter.
Shilo was relieved because the loyal guards had already searched the neighborhood.
He walked out of the carriage and his snow-white hair tied up casually.
Looking at the familiar courtyard gate, Shilo smiled, and turned around and took something from the servant beside him.
This is a roasted pork leg wrapped in silk cloth. It is a tribute from the southern swamp carefully selected by the chefs in the palace. The best black pork is smoked with good spices and fragrant wood burned.
Well, when she walked in, she saw me bringing something like this, and I wonder what the expression would be?
Shilo suddenly became a little curious.
Even though I just surrendered under pressure, I can always let her heart slowly warm up!
He stepped forward and pushed open the courtyard door with force...
The courtyard was empty, with only the ancient towering tree, but it was almost dead. There were not even fallen leaves under the tree, only the broken and withered branches, and the once old man's lounge chair had long turned into broken wood!
unmanned?!
Shilo stood there for a moment, then his face suddenly changed, he suddenly guessed something and realized it, and a trace of splendor appeared in his eyes!
Turn around and say, "Abandon the car! Get ready for the horse!! Go back to the palace!!"
...
"The southeast of the palace, two hundred steps to the left of the Xianren Hall, close to the ditches. There are at least fifty guards, and the patrols will pass by somewhere about every half hour. From here, there are three routes, among which the bridges and canals cross the flower garden and the school is the fastest, but there will be two palace guards in the middle." Fiona whispered: "The first palace guard has our people to help, and two palace servants will cause trouble to attract their attention, but the second road is gone... There is no way. After Shilo came to power, the imperial guards in the palace were cleaned too thoroughly, and almost nothing could be left behind. Only these pieces would be left. They would not use them unless they had to."
