Chapter 222 [Heart of Alpha]
After drinking a cup of tea, Du Wei sighed softly.
Philip next to him saw Du Wei's unhappy expression and couldn't help but whisper: "Sir, are you worried that the Northwest Army will not retreat?"
"Worried?" Du Wei smiled and raised his eyebrows: "I have nothing to worry about. Don't worry, they will retreat."
Sure enough, as soon as he said these words, Dardanelle had already opened the door and came in: "Your Majesty, the Northwest Army has begun to retreat!"
Du Wei nodded: "I understand."
Then, the guards outside came in and announced: Marquise Liszt asked to see her.
Du Wei was stunned, but Phillip quickly turned his head away. Only Dardanelle still looked at Du Wei without changing his expression.
What is she here for?
Du Wei frowned.
This Marchioness is really a trouble. Since that birthday, this Marchioness seems to have settled down in Duwei's Duke's Palace with peace of mind.
They didn't say they were leaving, and Mr. Du Wei was too embarrassed to drive them away. It just kept going on like this.
When the city was besieged outside today, Du Wei was worried that the Northwest Army would really cause trouble, so he sent twice as many people to surround the Duke's Mansion.
After thinking for a moment, Du Wei sighed: "Please come in, Madam Marquise."
When Philip heard this, he quickly left, but Dardanelle looked at Duwei with a smile on his face.
After all, he was born in the Liszt family. Although Dardaniel was extremely loyal to Du Wei, if Du Wei could marry into the Liszt family, Dardaniel would be very happy to see it happen.
Moreover, in the heart of this Dardanelle warrior, the beautiful Marchioness Liszt existed almost like a goddess. It would be a good thing if she could marry Du Wei.
When Marquise Liszt walked in, there was undisguised concern in her eyes. Her attire was not very tidy. She was wearing a plain long dress, which was obviously a simple dress in the room.
There was no trace of makeup on her stunning face, but the picturesque appearance of her features still made Du Wei's heart beat a few times.
Behind her, Angel and Muse followed. There was a trace of indifference on Angel's face, but Du Wei could see at a glance that this indifference was obviously forcibly disguised. The look in this little girl's eyes
Her heart had already been betrayed, and those eyes could not help but peek at Du Wei, with a faint look that could not be concealed.
As for Muse... After being punished by Du Wei once, this kid became much more honest. He stood at the end, looking at his toes, as if he didn't dare to meet Du Wei's eyes.
"Your Excellency, Duke." Mrs. Lister smiled slightly: "I just heard that the Northwest Army was sieging the city, and you even went to the tower in person. I was worried about you... Now that I see that you are okay, I feel relieved."
Du Wei laughed loudly: "The Marquise is joking! The Northwest Army is also an imperial army and is under the flag of the Thorn Flower. How can it embarrass me? It's just a regular spring drill."
After hearing Du Wei's "official argument", Mrs. Liszt couldn't help but darken her face. There was a trace of resentment in her beautiful eyes. She suddenly raised her head, smiled softly at Dardanelle, and whispered.
: "Knight Dardanelle, could you please let me and the Duke be alone for a while?"
Dardanelle was once Madame Liszt's retainer. Hearing Madam Liszt's words, he quickly bowed and left.
As Dardanelle left, Marquise Liszt let out a faint sigh. This sigh was like crying, but it made people's hearts melt. She walked slowly to Duweidi's side, and quietly
After staring at Du Wei for a while, her cherry lips trembled slightly, and then she whispered: "Your Excellency, are you still on guard against me?"
Du Wei quickly shook his head: "What did madam say?"
"My lord." Marquise Liszt's eyes were full of resentment: "Everyone with a discerning eye knows that the Northwest Army and your lord are definitely not of the same mind. What is the situation in the northwest? Need I say more? This time they besieged the city and forced you, lord. This move has gone too far.
There is only a thin line between .and open resistance! At this time, what you just said to me was to reassure me? Or... was it to prevaricate me? "
Du Wei also felt quite uncomfortable being stared at by such a stunning beauty. It would be a lie to say that he was not tempted by beauty.
If the occasion, location and identity were changed, and he met a stunning beauty like Marquise Liszt, Du Wei felt that he would not mind playing an ambiguous game with her. This woman was indeed so beautiful that men could not resist.
If it was just a concubine who wanted to have a "just for one night" party, Du Wei would not refuse, and on the contrary, he would probably break his head.
However, it is one thing to be attracted by the beauty of a woman, but it is another thing to marry her!
After hesitating for a moment, Du Wei said sternly: "Madam, you are too worried. What I just said is just to prevent you from worrying too much. I don't take these tens of thousands of Northwest troops to heart. Don't say that they absolutely don't.
Dare you rebel now..."
Having said this, Du Wei smiled slightly, with awe-inspiring confidence in his eyes. He flicked the table and said calmly: "Even if they are really rebelling now. In my 'City of Miracles', they only have 40,000 people."
Can you eat it? I have an idea in my mind, madam, don’t worry."
These words were much softer than the tone she used to reject people thousands of miles away. Marquise Liszt turned her anger into joy, a trace of tenderness flashed across her charming face, as if she was relieved, and said softly: "My lord
Since I am free to advocate, I don’t want to ask too many questions. It’s just that what happened today is very shocking... If you don’t mind, sir..."
She suddenly took out a strange translucent thing from her arms and gently placed it on Du Wei's table: "This is an heirloom of my Liszt family, and it's not a strange thing. It's just that
However, it is bitterly cold in the northwest. I don’t think you will be able to rest tonight. I am afraid that you will have to lead people to patrol the tower. Please be sure to wear this thing by your side. Wearing this thing, it will not be invaded by wind and sand, and it can also withstand the cold night."
Du Wei was about to speak when Mrs. Liszt suddenly whispered: "This is Lan's intention. Please don't make people sad."
Du Wei's hand, which was originally about to push the thing back, couldn't help but slow down after hearing these words. Suddenly he felt that the tip of his finger touched something extremely soft. When he lowered his head, he saw that it was Marquis Liszt.
The lady's catkin, her fingers rested on the other's delicate and delicate fingertips. The smooth and boneless feeling made people's hearts tremble. The movements of the hands involuntarily turned into taking the piece.
Then he gave a wry smile and put it in his arms: "I'll just wear it."
Only then did Marquis Liszt smile. She was born like a beautiful girl. Now when she smiled, a charming shyness flashed in her eyes. She looked like a young girl. Her cheeks were dizzy, and then she smiled slightly.
I bowed my head, said goodbye and went out.
Angel, who was behind, kept biting her lip and said nothing. Before leaving, she glanced at Du Wei faintly.
"Duwei... Sir." Muse walked at the end and suddenly whispered: "A while ago, when you were on the top of the city, my sister took me to watch from behind the city."
"Oh?" Du Wei raised his eyebrows.
"You..." Muse suddenly hesitated, then a glint flashed in his eyes, and he whispered: "You... the way you shoot arrows is so... beautiful!"
At this point, Muse suddenly looked panicked and quickly added: "Ah, well... this is what Angel asked me to tell you."
After saying that, he quickly ran out and chased Angel.
Du Wei sighed...
It’s so hard to bear the kindness of a beautiful woman!
He couldn't help but take out the transparent crystal that Mrs. Liszt had just given to him. It was warm in his tentacles, and there was no magic power on it. But when he held it in his hand, he seemed to be able to feel a faint warmth.
It flows softly like the palm of your hand.
In the evening, a report came from the people below. The Northwest Army had retreated ten miles.
In fact, Du Wei shot that arrow, no more, no less, exactly ten miles away. He just felt refreshed and ran out of the city on horseback, carrying Du Wei's bright red cloak on his gun. In front of the thousands of troops of the Northwest Army
Among the horses, there was no one else around as they galloped past.
This feeling made Lao Yan, who had already looked down upon everything, couldn't help but feel a bit of pride in his heart!
It’s really fun to do things with this young duke!
Now, Du Wei has finally tested the bottom line of the Northwest Army.
But, what on earth do the Northwest Army want to do? With tens of thousands of troops lying around here, are they just here to have a casual meal?
Du Wei would not do any city patrolling. But at night, he returned to the back of the castle, which was a separated courtyard. All the furnishings were just like they were at Count Luo Lin's Mansion in the imperial capital.
, the same courtyard as Count Raymond’s study.
Du Wei issued an order that no one is allowed to enter or leave this yard without his permission!
He walked into the study room in the yard and closed the door.
The furnishings in this study are just like Count Raymond's study at that time. The room is very cold.
There were no servants here, so Du Wei lit a lamp himself, then took out a bottle of wine from the cabinet, slowly sat behind the desk, and drank by himself.
When the bottle of wine was halfway down, Du Wei suddenly had a look in his eyes and gently put down the glass.
Outside, the study door was lightly knocked twice.
"Come in." Du Wei said solemnly.
The door opened and a man wearing a black warrior robe walked in.
This man's originally handsome appearance had a few minor scars. These scars were obviously left not long ago. These scars did not diminish the charm of this man at all. On the contrary, they made this man more charming.
This beautiful man came forward looking more manly.
Alpha walked into the study. He looked at Du Wei sitting behind the desk, looked at the wine bottle in front of Du Wei, and looked at the furnishings in this room that were exactly the same as those in the old count's study.
