- Chapter 560 [Buried under the tree]
Are you here to be a lobbyist, or are you here to kill people?
Faced with this problem, Chen Daolin immediately chose to remain silent. Moreover, when Du Weiwei's eyes glanced at him, Chen Daolin was obviously dodging, not daring to look at her.
Compared to Chen Daolin, Dean Carmen appears to be much more upright.
¡°I¡¯ll try to convince you first.¡±
This is Carmen¡¯s answer.
This sentence is very subtle, because it seems to be only a "half sentence".
Try to persuade first. The implication seems to be: If you can¡¯t be persuaded
After hearing these words, Du smiled slightly, and her face looked bright and moving because of this smile.
"The dean is still the dean." Du smiled slightly and made a gesture of invitation: "Then I will listen attentively."
Carmen was not polite and took a few steps closer, almost reaching Du Weiwei's table. Du Weiwei waved his sleeves, and the two chairs that were on the side flew over automatically and landed in front of Carmen.
Then a wine bottle placed on the table also fell on the table.
"How can we meet again after a long separation without drinking?" Du Wei smiled and seemed to be a bit brave and heroic: "Even if you want to talk, please have three drinks first."
Carmen remained calm, picked up the glass and quickly poured a glass of wine. With a flick of her finger, the wine glass flew to Du Weiwei's finger without spilling any wine. Then the dean took three more cups and quickly filled them. As for Chen Daolin, he was ignored by the dean gorgeously.
Carmen glanced at the three glasses of wine in front of her, her expression remained unchanged, and she slowly raised a glass. Du Weiwei seemed to be about to say a toast, but Carmen dipped her finger in the wine glass, and then flicked it with her finger. Bounce a few drops of wine into the air.
"With the first glass of wine, I pay respect to my ancestors. It was not easy for our ancestors to start a business, and they fought through hundreds of battles. Only after overcoming all obstacles did we have the glorious Tulip family that we have today."
Du Weiwei listened. He frowned for a moment, then a gentle smile appeared on his face again, and he stared at Carmen with those bright eyes.
Carmen poured a glass of wine on the ground, then put down the glass and raised a second glass of wine.
"This second cup, I pay tribute to the imperial soldiers who are fighting on the front line. They sacrificed their lives for the country, protected the homeland, and shed blood. Whether they died fighting against the grassland people or fighting against the orcs, they all belonged to this country. The real pillars, I respect them!"
Carmen spilled the wine on the ground again. Du raised his eyebrows slightly, raised the cup and took a sip himself.
"The third glass of wine" When Carmen raised the third wine glass, she gestured to Du Weiwei: "I respect you, Your Excellency the Duke of Tulip."
Du Wei smiled calmly: "What do you want to respect me for?"
Carmen took a deep breath and stared at Du Weiwei, as if there were flames burning in her eyes. He said slowly, word by word: "I respect you. There is no greater good than knowing when you have gone astray!"
Finished. Carmen stared at the wine glass in Du Weiwei's hand with bright eyes.
Du Weiwei frowned again. She put away her smile and sighed softly. Then slowly, she put down the wine glass in Du Weiwei's hand and placed it on the table.
"Why don't you drink?" Carmen's eyes narrowed.
Du Weiwei said calmly: "If you say something wrong, you can't drink this wine."
"What's wrong?"
"I have not made any mistakes, so how can I know how to return from the lost path? I have never done evil, so how can I say that there is no great good?"
Carmen said coldly: "Secretly colluding with foreign races, destroying the country's barriers, plotting evil these things. Aren't they wrong or evil?"
Du laughed slightly. The laughter was clear: "Collude with foreign races? The prairie people were originally the hounds raised by my Tulip family. They are aboveboard and everyone knows it! How can we talk about 'collusion in secret'? As for the barrier to self-destruction, are you talking about the northwest fortress? It was Shiloh who wanted it first. Pushing my Tulip family to a dead end. He didn¡¯t like the northwest fortress being in the hands of my Tulip family, so I gave it up. Wasn¡¯t that just fulfilling his wish? As for the evil plot you mentioned"
Du Weiwei¡¯s body suddenly exuded an aura that is difficult to describe in words!
She stared at Carmen, her thin body slowly stood up from the table! Just across the table, staring into Carmen's eyes without any mercy!
"This empire, if it weren't for my Tulip family, would have died a hundred and forty years ago! The poor bloodline of the Augustine family would have lost its inheritance of the country's heritage! Now even the emperor has my Tulip family Half of the blood! This empire should have belonged to the Tulip family! The Augustine family is stillAfter panting for one hundred and forty years, it¡¯s time to die long ago! This country belongs to my family, so how can I say that I am planning something evil!
One hundred and forty years!
If it weren¡¯t for the existence of the Flaming Tulip Flag, the Augustine family would have died long ago! Either he was overthrown by the church, or he was overthrown by others!
Generations of outstanding people in our Tulip family are willing to obey, resisting the orcs in the north, taming the grasslands in the west, guarding the temple in the inner city, and frightening the South Sea in the south! How come this empire doesn¡¯t belong to my family?
How virtuous and capable is his Augustine family? He occupies the throne, dines on his corpse, and enjoys the fruits of his fortune!
Dean, please teach me! "
When Du Weiwei said it to the end, his voice became louder and louder, his tone became more and more sharp, his edge was almost revealed, and his eyes were as sharp as a knife!
Carmen¡¯s expression changed, she breathed out softly, and whispered: ¡°Finally¡have you admitted it¡¡±
"Admit what?" Du sneered slightly.
"I thoughteven if it was for the sake of hypocrisy, you would cover it up a little or defend it. I didn't expect that you didn't hide your ambition at all and just said it openly." Carmen's voice was a little bitter. , she shook her head and looked at Du Weiwei: "Youdo you want to watch this empire perish? Do you want to bury this empire with your own hands?"
"Bury? Of course not." Du sneered slightly: "I said, this country should have belonged to my family! Since it is my family's territory, why should I bury it? Everything I do now is just a reminder."
"remind?"
"It's just a reminder!" Du Wei sneered: "Remind the world! This empire has been hiding under the wings of the Tulip family for one hundred and forty years! It's been a long enough time that everyone seems to take it for granted!
I just want to pierce this layer of paper and let everyone see how tragic this empire would be without the protection of my Tulip family!
A single grassland can make the empire miserable!
Without the protection of my Tulip family, the northwest fortress would be exposed to the orcs¡¯ front!
There is no deterrent from my Tulip family. The church will start to move!
Ha ha! Darling Chen, didn¡¯t the Pope send that bishop named Sinclair to come to your place to cause trouble? In previous years, my tulip family would have dominated the northwest. The bishop of the church dares to set foot in the northwest? I'm afraid that before the person even disembarks from the boat on the Lancang Canal, his head will have been cut off and delivered to my table!
Now. I, the Tulip family, are all sharp, just to let everyone see clearly and carefully!
¡°What would this empire be like without the protection of my Tulip family! "
Carmen¡¯s face turned pale: ¡°You¡ covet the throne?!¡±
"So what if it is? So what if it's not?" Du Weiwei sneered with disdain.
"Your ancestor, the first Duke Du Wei, said that the Tulip family will not fight for the throne!" Carmen gritted her teeth.
Du shook his head slightly: "The ancestors were wrong."
Carmen¡¯s eyes showed a hint of horror: ¡°You¡you actually dare to despise your ancestors?! You are so presumptuous!!!¡±
¡°Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!¡±
Du Weiwei started to laugh wildly. She laughed so hard that she almost shed tears, as if she heard the most ridiculous words in the world.
Just under Carmen¡¯s horrified eyes. Du Weiwei's laughter stopped suddenly, and the sharpness in his eyes became more and more menacing.
"Despise the ancestors? Ridiculous!!" Du waved her sleeves slightly, as if she wanted to stir up a strong wind. The window behind her opened with a bang, and the cold madness of the night was swept into the study, immediately dispelling all the warmth in the room!
"You don't understand at all!" Du Weiwei stared at Carmen, even showing disdain and pity without concealment: "You don't understand my ancestors at all! You don't even understand what the true tradition of the Tulip family is! "
Du Weiwei simply walked around slowly from behind the table and walked towards Carmen step by step.
"To be conservative? To cling to the traditions left by our ancestors and follow them as truth? Not to care at all that the world has changed? That is the greatest stupidity!
Our Tulip family respects our ancestors and respects the life given to us by our ancestors. Give us grace, give us legacy! But my ancestors once said that no one in this world is always right. There is no truth that will always fit the times! Everything in this world will slowly change! One hundred and forty years ago, the Tulip family did not fight for the throne. I will not judge whether it is right or wrong. But now, if we continue not to argue, it would be a big mistake! "
"Hmph, you think you are better than Du Wei?"Ming? asked Carmen.
"I don't know." Du Weiwei shook his head simply: "Maybe the ancestors are smarter than me, maybe I am indeed smarter than the ancestors. There is nothing to avoid! My Tulip family is not that pedantic! Respect the ancestors, no It means always admitting that you are not as good as your ancestors! The greatest respect for your ancestors is to hold firm beliefs and great ambitions and do better than your ancestors!
If everyone thinks that their ancestors are the greatest. If you can never surpass your ancestors then you will be willing to degenerate and become weaker from generation to generation! "
Carmen seemed to have nothing to say. Du Weiwei's words were too rebellious and shocking to Carmen in this era.
Carmen seemed to subconsciously turn her head and glance at Chen Daolin, as if she instinctively wanted to get some support from Chen Daolin.
But Chen Daolin kept his mouth shut and had no intention of speaking.
??Personally speaking, Chen Daolin completely agrees with Du Weiwei's statement.
Clinging to the laws of our ancestors is inherently a wrong approach.
If each generation admits that it is inferior to its predecessors, then it will really only become weaker from generation to generation.
¡°Moreover, Chen Daolin is not surprised at all that Du Weiwei would come up with such a theory, nor is he surprised at all that the Tulip family has such a family motto.
After all, the first-generation Duke originally came from the real world like himself.
"It seems that words can't move you anymore." Carmen was silent for a while and then said slowly: "Is it really that there is no room for negotiation at all?"
"I have made up my mind, and my will is indestructible!" Du shook his head slightly: "Dean, I respect you, you are also my elder. But on this point, I will not compromise."
Carmen¡¯s eyes showed deep disappointment, and even a trace of irresolvable sadness.
Carmen rolled her sleeves. Slowly stood up. She glanced at the three empty wine glasses in front of her, frowned slightly, and then picked up the bottle. He raised his head and took a sip.
She wiped the corners of her mouth with her white jade-like hand: "Did your father leave this wine?"
"Yes." Du nodded slightly.
"I remember this smell." Carmen seemed to smile: "In the past, it was here. In this study. I remember that I seemed to be sitting in this position, and your father was sitting just now. There, we sit and talk.
Your father is not an alcoholic, but he has a good drinker and is good at making wine. Every time we argue about something and no one can convince the other in the end, we start drinking. And every time I get drunk. He showed me how to dance with his sword.
He boasted that his swordsmanship was the best in the world. At that time, I was stubborn and refused to admit his statement, even though I had already agreed with it in my heart.
¡°Both of us are extremely proud, and neither of us wants to give in to the other. Sometimes, when we argue at the end, we have a big fight and I walk away.
I lived in this castle for three years, and those three years were almost the most relaxed and happiest days in my life.
We argue every day. Drinking, sword dancing, and quarreling. Then make up, then argue, then drink and dance with swords
Your father may seem kind, but he is more arrogant than anyone else! Du Weiwei, you have completely inherited this from your father. "
Du Weiwei sighed softly and whispered: "My father also said that if you and he were not too proud in the past, maybe. Maybe"
"There are not so many possibilities in this world. If you miss many things, you will miss them." Carmen bit her lip: "I just didn't expect that after so many years, I would come back here. Also in this room. , in the same position, having another argument with his daughter, andI still can't defeat you."
Du lowered his hands slightly and said calmly: "If you can't explain the Tulip family's tradition, then fight!"
"That's right." Carmen's eyes were bright: "If you can't argue, then fight! This is what your father said back then. But he didn't fight me, but showed me how to dance with his sword. Unexpectedly, in the past, I didn't fight him, and now"
"When you came here today, I knew that this decisive battle was inevitable." Du Wei smiled faintly: "You can't convince me, and I can't convince you. You come with your beliefs, then, Since words and lips cannot solve the problem, we can only use iron and blood to determine the outcome."
Carmen suddenly smiled: "Actually, I have thought of it for a long time. This battle is inevitable."
" Du Weiwei said calmly: "You have the heart to defend the Tao, and I have the heart to keep the will, thenFight! "
Carmen looked at Du Weiwei, as if she could vaguely see the outline of the man from back then on Du Weiwei's face.
"Before I do anything, I want to do one thing first."
"What?"
"I want toeat something." Carmen's evil spirit miraculously disappeared suddenly. She looked at Du Weiwei: "I lived in this city for three years in the past. Your Tulip family is famous for liking delicious food. I I don't all like it, but there is a family in this city that makes minced meat pancakes, which I like best. Every time after your father and I had a falling out, after a few days, he would buy them for me to eat, and then the two of them would Reconciled.
I have not set foot in the northwest for many years, maybe today is also the last time I set foot here in my life.
I want to take another bite. "
¡¡
The cake was quickly delivered to Carmen.
The boss who makes pancakes is almost sixty years old. The shop is located on a not too wide street in the east of Loulan City.
The boss worked as a chef in the castle for several years and learned cooking skills. The meatloaf has an exclusive secret recipe. When kneading the dough, add a little wine to the water to knead the light wine flavor into the dough. After baking for three minutes, take the pancake out of the oven. Knead the minced meat into it, wrap it in a layer of oil and put it back in the oven to bake.
The minced meat pancakes baked in this way will have a faint sweet aroma of wine after chewing the pancakes, and the minced meat inside will not be overcooked.
Because of this unique craftsmanship, his family¡¯s business has always been very good. The boss only makes a hundred pancakes for sale every day. When they are sold out, he closes the shop and does not make any more.
But in Loulan City, Duke Tulip¡¯s will is God¡¯s will!
The orders issued by Duke Tulip were carried out to the letter.
Even in the middle of the night, the boss was dragged out of the warm bed by the captain of the guard of the Tulip family. This boss was like in a dream - he had never been treated like this in his whole life of making cakes. Several cooks from the Tulip family helped the boss raise the fire and heat the furnace with their own hands. Magicians from the two families used fire magic to heat the furnace.
And the gray-haired old butler of the Tulip family¡¯s castle folded up his sleeves and helped him make the wine with his own hands!
When the pancake was delivered to Carmen, it was still steaming hot when Carmen took it in her hand. She took a bite and it was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The crispy pancakes and soft meat fillings are mixed together, and the aroma is instantly in your mouth.
Under Du Weiwei's gaze, Carmen didn't seem to care at all. She simply ate up a pancake the size of a plate in one bite, took another sip of sweet wine soup, and then let out a long breath.
"The taste is indeed the same as before." Carmen closed her eyes and recollected: "It was just baked too quickly. The magician must have used fire magic to increase the oven temperature, so the dough was a little dry and hard - but this It¡¯s already very good. I thought I would never eat something like this again in my life.¡±
Chen Daolin didn't say a word. He ate half a piece and put it down, but he felt a little disdainful in his heart. In Brother Darling's opinion, the taste of this pancake was just so-so, and he didn't think it had much to offer. I don¡¯t know why Dean Carmen has been obsessed with it for so many years.
Carmen seemed to glance at the remaining piece on the table with some reluctance, but then looked away and took a deep breath.
At this time, both Chen Daolin and Du Weiwei noticed that there seemed to be a flash of moisture in the eyes of this beautiful dean, and then quickly disappeared.
"That year, I met your father at the Magic Academy. On the first day I came to Loulan City in the northwest, he took me out of the castle at night and ran to this store together. We climbed over the wall and ran into the boss's store. In the bedroom, I dragged him out of bed and watched him light a fire and make cakes for us. Your father paid him a lot of gold coins.
But even so, your father was later punished by your grandfather.
That was the first time he invited me to eat this food. "
Carmen seemed to be talking to herself: "And when I left Loulan City, he invited me to dinner again"
¡¡
Decades ago, it seemed that it was also such a cold winter.
That morning, the snow that had been falling for several days finally stopped.
The young man, who still had a heroic look on his face at that time, galloped on horseback to catch up with him. His smile was still bright, and he took out a piece of cake wrapped in layers of cotton cloth from his arms. When he opened it, it was still steaming.
Then, like today, I stuttered in front of himGo.
When I was halfway through eating, I discovered that there was a small, hard thing in my mouth.
When I spit it in my mouth, I realized that it was a ring!
I remember holding the small ring and looking at the young man with panic in my eyes.
But he still smiled so heartlessly.
"Hey, can you tell me something? Although we always quarrel, I think I still like you very much."
Well, what was your reaction at that time? Yes, it is a subtle emotion, there is joy, but more of it is anxiety, and there is also a trace of shame and anger, right?
So, I threw the ring back to him, and then ran away
The figure of the young man was left standing alone in the snow, and the smile on his face gradually turned into disappointment
Six months later, news of his wedding came.
¡¡
The smile on Carmen¡¯s lips gradually solidified. She glanced at the plate in front of her again and raised her head again.
"I've eaten, let's do it now. Du Weiwei If I die, bury me in the college. There is a tree in my yard, bury me under the tree." (To be continued) - Didn't finish reading?
