Du Wei's "illness" at the moment caused him to lose his greatest reliance in the past: his mental power! After losing his mental power, Du Wei's senses were far less sharp than before.
If it were in the past, this kind of assassin, let alone assassinating himself, would have been able to detect the fluctuations in the opponent's mind and murderous intent before the opponent came close to him, with Du Wei's strong and sharp mental power!
But now, Du Wei's sensory sensitivity is almost equal to that of a normal ordinary person. And when he reacted, the assassin had already succeeded!
The dagger pierced his chest with great force. If Du Wei's seat hadn't been against the wall, he would have been knocked backwards!
Moreover, under the influence of the fighting spirit, with a few waves, the leather jacket on Du Wei's chest suddenly burst open, and the cotton wool flew. The assassin's face was stiff, but his eyes were full of murderous intent and ferociousness. The man holding the dagger
My wrists were shaking from exerting too much force, and my knuckles were turning white!
With a few clicks, an assassin warrior who could display fighting spirit struck him with such force that even the wooden wheelchair under Du Wei could not withstand it. Several wooden axes suddenly began to move powerfully.
Broken under the oscillation!
At this moment, the only thought in Du Wei's mind was: Assassin!
Who wants to kill me?
Regent?!!
Chen, he wants to kill me?!
At this moment, their movements and figures seemed to freeze.
The assassin's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he pierced Du Wei's chest with the dagger. The fighting spirit surged into Du Wei's body like crazy!
But soon, the assassin thought he had succeeded, but then his expression suddenly changed!
The dagger was in his hand, but he could clearly feel that the sharp edge of the dagger in his hand was pressed against the tulip duke's chest, but it failed to penetrate!
All his fighting spirit had exploded, and Du Wei's upper body clothes and the wheelchair beneath him burst into pieces. However, no matter how hard he tried, the tip of the dagger was still pressed against Du Wei's chest skin, unable to penetrate.
Meat!!
For a moment, the assassin seemed to be stunned.
"Who sent you here?"
Du Wei, who had calmed down, suddenly asked in a cold tone.
The assassin reacted and did not answer. His eyes were even more determined, and his other hand quickly clenched into a fist. He punched Du Wei hard in the heart!
His punch contained all the fighting spirit in his body. According to the assassin's own estimate, such a punch could make the rock bloom and burst even if it hit it!
However, with the sound of the wave, Du Wei's clothes flew away, and the fist seemed to hit a ball of cotton. The body of the assassination target was not strong, and his skin was soft like a normal person, but this punch still had power.
Being firmly blocked out!!
"Who sent you here?" Du Wei asked again, his face as dark as water.
The assassin did not answer, but suddenly pulled out the dagger, and this time it pierced Du Wei's eye!
He made up his mind. Even if your body is weird, the eyeball is one of the most vulnerable parts of the human body. The power of this blow is enough to pierce the opponent's eye and break the bone into the brain!!
But at this time, Du Wei moved.
Although he has lost his magic power, he still cannot fully control his body... He is like a magician who has lost his magic power, but has not had time to learn martial arts.
There is no doubt that these days are indeed the times when Du Wei is at his weakest.
However, if you want to kill Du Wei... now is not a good time!
Because...his body! That body made of steel!
According to old Chris, such a powerful body cannot even be cultivated by god-level experts. If you want to hurt Du Wei, ordinary attacks are completely ineffective! I am afraid that only those who are above the holy level can do it.
Only by taking action can one hurt Du Wei's body.
Du Wei held the handrail of the wheelchair and twisted it slightly.
With a clang, the armrests of the wheelchair suddenly flipped over, and two green rays of light shot out, engulfing the assassin's chest, and then a stream of green smoke also floated out.
As soon as the assassin's eyes bulged, he immediately fell back, and his body went limp in an instant. With a plop, he fell to the ground.
Du Wei looked at the assassin on the ground coldly, moved a little closer, his eyes were full of coldness, and shouted word by word: "Who! Send! You! Come!"
The assassin lay on the ground and took a deep look at Du Wei. His eyes were full of unwillingness and disbelief, as if he didn't believe that with the violent blows he just struck, how could he not kill him? There was not even a trace of a scar.
Not left?
He...he is obviously a seriously ill magician! Moreover, the opponent's body has no sense of fighting spirit defense at all!
However, after this unwilling look, the assassin suddenly snorted, then with a stern look in his eyes, he bit his teeth hard.
After a few breaths, a strange streak of red and blue blood flowed out of his mouth. He straightened his body twice and then died.
Du Wei sat there quietly, staring at the corpse on the ground, with a layer of frost covering his face!!
This is a trap!
No wonder the waiter who led him in was so nervous and trembling along the way... It's ridiculous that he thought the other person was cold with good intentions!! He brought himself to this remote place...
Is it the regent? Is it Prince Chen?
Du Wei didn't want to think so. He was secretly unwilling to break up with that smart young monarch.
Did Prince Chen have a reason to kill himself?
What made Du Wei feel chilled was...it seemed that there was!
If Prince Chen was really seriously ill, then before he died, he seemed to have had the motive to kill himself in order to clear his son's path to power!
After all, before passing on the throne, monarchs in the past dynasties had to clear out their powerful ministers to avoid the situation where the next generation of young monarchs came to power and the ministers were strong and the ruler was weak.
But……
No...it's not him, it shouldn't be him.
Du Wei shook his head and thought quickly: If Prince Chen wants to kill him, then he is not just an assassin, the court magician should also take action!
Du Wei had complicated thoughts at the moment. He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
After about a cup of tea, finally, several palace attendants who were on duty came to this side hall. Judging from their appearance, it seemed that they were here to clean.
These people pushed the door in and suddenly saw the corpse on the ground, as well as the Tulip Duke sitting there with a stern expression on his face.
Then there was a cry of surprise...
Soon, Du Wei was picked up by a group of palace guards and two red-robed palace magicians.
He was quickly taken to Prince Chen's study.
The regent had already learned about the situation. When he saw Du Wei, Prince Chen looked a little pale. The strong smell of medicine in the study was obviously due to the rush. Before Du Wei came this time, Prince Chen forgot to open the window for ventilation.
.
"How did it happen?"
Without any nonsense, Prince Chen immediately asked directly.
Du Wei took a deep breath. His expression was cold and calm, not looking like he had just been assassinated. His tone was almost abnormally calm, and he briefly and concisely told everything that had just happened, from when he was invited in from the main hall by a waiter.
, until the assassination in that remote side hall.
Prince Chen immediately issued several orders to the people around him.
Then, after everyone in the room left, the regent came over. Standing in front of Du Wei, the two of them were very close. Prince Chen stared into Du Wei's eyes and said:
"not me!"
not me.
This sentence is very profound, but also very direct.
He did not ask Du Wei who he suspected, and seemed to know that Du Wei would definitely doubt him.
However, there is no need for nonsense when talking to smart people. Prince Chen stated his position straightforwardly and in the most straightforward words.
"It's not me. I don't want to kill you."
The corner of Du Wei's mouth twitched, as if he was smiling. He also looked back at the Regent, quietly, just looking at it.
The room fell silent, a deathly silence...
The guards quickly returned from the search, and the waiter who brought Du Wei in from the banquet hall was found. Unfortunately, it was already a corpse, a cold corpse!
In this kind of weather, after a person dies, the body will soon stiffen. It doesn't matter whether he was poisoned, committed suicide, or was killed and silenced by his accomplices.
Du Wei simply confirmed that it was this person who brought him in from the front. After that, he didn't ask any more questions or say anything more. He just watched the regent get angry with his guards and palace warriors, but Du Wei just said nothing.
He didn't say a word and remained silent.
Prince Chen was very angry. His anger was probably not disguised. But Du Wei still felt... vigilant in his heart!
Because just now, he thought of something that made him feel a little sad: no matter whether he did it or not. However, Prince Chen...if he was really seriously ill and about to die, he did have the motive to kill himself.
!
Finally, after issuing the search orders one by one, Prince Chen drove everyone away, even the personal court magician. He turned back and looked at Du Wei, with some distress in his words: "I don't know how to let you.
I believe... someone wants to kill you, but that person is really not me! Du Wei, I don’t want to kill you."
"I know." Du Wei nodded, his eyes finally became warmer: "I believe you."
Prince Chen felt a little relieved, and he pondered for a while: "You can't stay here forever, and this matter can't be leaked... In this way, you have been back for too long, you must return to the banquet hall immediately
Go and pretend that nothing happened."
As he said that, Prince Chen looked at Du Wei with gentle eyes and said seriously: "Fortunately, you are fine! If something happens to you, I'm afraid..."
Du Wei seemed to smile, and his voice was very calm: "Fortunately, I am not that easy to die."
Prince Chen also smiled, he pondered for a while, and said: "I'll go back with you. Well, didn't the assassin lie and claim that I asked you to come in? Then if I go out with you, no one will
Suspicion has been detected. This matter...must be kept secret!"
Du Wei didn't speak or object.
Soon, Prince Chen and Duke Tulip returned to the banquet hall together. The two men came back with a lot of noise. They came in from the side door in a swaggering manner, accompanied by a large number of waiters.
In the banquet hall, there was still a scene of singing and dancing, soft and melodious music, and dancing nobles.
Du Wei's face was very calm, and he even had a slight smile. Judging from his face, it seemed as if nothing had ever happened.
However, just after Du Wei returned to his seat and sat firmly, his color suddenly changed!!
Just because he saw the little emperor Charlie!
Charlie sat there, clenching his fists tightly, his eyes were hazy, and the muscles in the corners of his small face were beating... It seemed that he could no longer control the anger in his heart!
Following Charlie's gloomy eyes, Du Wei looked around and saw this scene:
His younger brother, Gabri, the future Earl of the Empire, was holding the heroic Muse in his arms. The two were dancing gracefully to the music... During the music, Gabri seemed to be saying something in Muse's ear from time to time.
, his expression is gentle, his eyes are intoxicating, and he has a masculine elegant charm.
Although Muse's face was still cold and indifferent, her eyes were finally not as cold as before.
Looking at the two people's dancing, Du Wei suddenly felt an uncontrollable headache!
