Chapter 560: Buried Under the Tree It's a guest, or it's a murderer Faced with this problem, Chen Daolin immediately chose to remain silent.
Moreover, when Du Weiwei's eyes were aimed at him, Chen Daolin was obviously a little dodgy, and he didn't dare to look at her.
Compared with Chen Daolin, Dean Carmen is much more upright.
"I'll try to convince you first."
This is Carmen's answer.
This sentence is subtle, because it seems to be only a "half sentence".
Try to take it first, and the implication seems to be: if you can't take it Hearing this, Du was smiling 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 please: "Then I'll listen to it first." ” Carmen was not polite, and Masse took a few steps closer, almost walking to Du Weiwei's table.
Du waved his sleeves slightly, and the two chairs that were originally on the side automatically flew over and landed in front of Carmen.
Immediately, a wine bottle placed on the table also landed on the table.
"Reunited after a long absence, how can you be without wine" Du Wei smiled and seemed to be quite sassy and heroic: "Even if you want to talk, please drink three glasses first." ” Carmen remained silent, picked up the glass and quickly poured a glass of wine, and with a flick of his fingers, the wine glass flew to Du Weiwei's fingers, not spilling a drop of wine.
Then the dean took three more cups, and quickly filled the three cups, but Chen Daolin 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 wish afar, but Carmen dipped her finger in the wine glass lightly, and then flicked her fingers.
Bounce a few drops of wine in the air.
"The first glass of wine, I respect the ancestors.
It is not easy for the ancestors of the family to start a business, and they will not be defeated in a hundred battles.
Overcoming obstacles, there is a brilliant tulip home today. ” Du Weiwei listened.
He frowned slightly, then returned to a gentle smile on his face, staring at Carmen with those sparkling eyes.
Carmen poured a glass of wine on the floor, then put it down and held up a second one.
"This second cup, I salute the imperial soldiers who are fighting on the front line.
They sacrificed their lives for the country, defended the land, and shed their blood and sacrificed.
Whether it is in the face of the steppe people who died in battle.
Or died in the fight with the orcs, they are the real pillars of this country, I respect them" Carmen spilled the wine on the ground again, Du raised his eyebrows slightly, raised his glass, and took a shallow sip of himself.
"The third glass of wine" When Carmen raised the third glass, she gestured to Du Weiyao: "I respect you, Your Excellency Duke Tulip." ” Du Wei smiled indifferently: "What do you respect me?"
Carmen took a deep breath and stared at Du Weiwei, as if there was a flame burning in her eyes.
Word by word, he said slowly: "I respect you, you know your way back, and you are very good."
Finish.
Carmen stared at the wine glass in Du Weiwei's hand with blazing eyes.
Du Weiwei frowned again, she put away her smile, sighed softly, and then slowly, the wine glass in Du Weiwei's hand was put down and placed on the table.
"Why don't you drink," Carmen's eyes narrowed.
Du said lightly: "If the words are not right, this wine cannot be drunk." ” "What's wrong" "I have not made a mistake, so I know what it means to be lost.
I have not done evil, what is good."
Carmen said coldly: "Secretly colluding with aliens.
The barrier of self-destruction of the country, plotting against these things.
Isn't it wrong, isn't it evil?"
Du smiled slightly.
The laughter was clear: "The collusion with the alien steppe people was originally my tulip's hunting dog.
Above board, the world knows how to talk about secretly colluding As for the barrier of self-destruction of the country, are you the Northwest Fortress or Shiloh is going to drive my Tulip family to a dead end first.
He doesn't like the Northwest Fortress in the hands of my tulip family, so I'll let it out, wouldn't it be just what he wanted, and your plans are wrong."
Du Weiwei's body suddenly exuded an aura that was difficult to describe in words She stared at Carmen, her emaciated body slowly standing up from the table, just across a table, staring at Carmen's eyes without letting go "This empire, if it weren't for my tulip family, it would have died a hundred and forty years ago, the poor bloodline of the Augustine family would have died a long time ago, and it would have inherited the heritage of the national system, and now even the emperor has half of the blood of my tulip family, this empire should have belonged to the tulip family, and the Augustinian family has been breathing for one hundred and forty years, and it should have been swallowed a long time ago, this country is my family, how can there be a way to plot against it One hundred and forty years If it weren't for the existence of the flaming tulip flag, the people of the Augustinian family would have died a long time ago, either overthrown by the church or by others My tulip family has been a masterpiece for generations, but I am willing to obey, reject the orcs in the north, tame the grassland in the west, the temple in the inner town, and deter the South Seas in the south, how is this empire not my family He of the Augustinian family, how can he occupy the throne, the corpse is vegetarian, and he enjoys it Dean, please teach me" Du Weiwei was in the end, his voice became louder and louder, his tone became more and more aggressive, almost sharp, and his eyes were as sharp as knives Carmen's face changed, she exhaled softly, and said in a low voice, "Finally admit it?"
"Admit what" Du sneered slightly.
"I thought you would cover it up a little bit, or defend it, even for the sake of hypocrisy.
Unexpectedly, you didn't hide your ambition at all, and you came out so openly.
Carmen's voice was a little bitter, she shook her head and looked at Du Weiwei: "Do you want to watch this empire perish, do you want to bury this empire with your own hands?"

"Of course not."
Du sneered slightly: "I, this country should have belonged to my family, since it is my family's country, what do I do when I bury it, everything I do now is just a reminder." ” "Reminders" "It's just a reminder" Du sneered slightly: "Remind the world that this empire has been hiding under the wings of the Tulip family for one hundred and forty years, enough that everyone seems to take all this for granted."
I'm just going to pierce this layer of paper and let everyone see how miserable this empire would be without the protection of my tulip family A single steppe can make an empire miserable Without the protection of my tulip family, the Northwest Fortress is exposed to the orcs Without the deterrence of my tulip family.
The church will begin to stir Haha Daling Chen, didn't the Pope send that bishop named Sinclair to you to make trouble, if it was in previous years, there would be my tulip family in the northwest.
The bishop of the church dared to set foot in the northwest, but he was afraid that before he could get ashore from the boat on the Lancang Canal, his head would be cut off and sent to my desk Now.
My tulip family is at the top of the line, just to let everyone see clearly and carefully What would this empire be without the protection of my tulip family?"
Carmen's face turned pale: "You covet the throne" "Yes, what, no, what," Du sneered slightly disdainfully.
"Your ancestor, His Royal Highness Du Wei, the first duke, will pass, and the Tulip family will not fight for the throne," Carmen gritted her teeth.
Du shook his head slightly: "The ancestor is wrong. ” There was a hint of horror in Carmen's eyes: "You dare to despise your ancestors, you are presumptuous" "Hahahahahahaha Du Weiwei began to laugh wildly, she leaned back and fell back with laughter, laughing so much that she almost burst into tears, as if she had heard the most ridiculous words in the world.
It was under Carmen's horrified gaze.
Du Weiwei's laughter stopped abruptly, and the sharpness in his eyes became more and more compelling.
"It's ridiculous to despise the ancestors" Du waved his sleeves slightly, as if he wanted to roll up the wind, the window behind her opened with a bang, and the cold madness of the night rolled into the study, instantly dissipating all the warmth in this room "You don't understand at all" Du Wei stared at Carmen's eyes, and even unabashedly showed disdain and pity: "You don't understand my ancestors at all, and you don't understand what the true tradition of the Tulip Family is" Du Weiwei simply walked around from behind the desk and walked towards Carmen step by step.
"It is the greatest foolishness to cling to the traditions left by our ancestors, to follow them as truth, and not to take into account the fact that the world has changed My tulip family respects our ancestors and respects the lives that our ancestors have given us.
The grace given to us, the legacy given to us, but my ancestors were there, and no one in this world will always be right.
There is no single truth that will always be suitable for the times, and everything in this world will slowly change One hundred and forty years ago, the Tulip family did not fight for the throne, and I will not evaluate whether it is right or wrong.
But now, if you continue to argue, it would be a big mistake."
"Hmph, you think you're smarter than Dewey," Carmen asked.
"I don't know."
Du Weiwei shook his head very dryly: "Maybe the wisdom of the ancestors surpasses me, maybe I am indeed smarter than the ancestors."
There is nothing to avoid this, my tulip family is not so pedantic and respects the ancestors, which does not mean that it will always admit that it is not as good as the greatest respect for the ancestors.
It should be with firm beliefs and great ambitions, to do better than the ancestors If everybody thinks that their ancestors are the greatest.
If you can never surpass your ancestors, you will be willing to fall and weaken from generation to generation."
Carmen seemed to have nothing to say.
Du Weiwei's words are too rebellious and shocking for Carmen in this era.
Carmen seemed to subconsciously turn her head to look at Chen Daolin, as if instinctively, she wanted to get some support from Chen Daolin.
But Chen Daolin kept his mouth shut, without the slightest intention of asking.
From the bottom of his heart, Chen Daolin completely agrees with Du Weiwei's method.
Sticking to the law of the ancestors was originally a wrong way to cling to the incomplete.
If each generation admits that it is inferior to its ancestors, then it will really only be weakened from generation to generation.
Moreover, Chen Daolin is not surprised that Du Weiwei will come up with such a theory, nor is it at all strange that the Tulip family will have such a family motto.
After all, the first 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 there really 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, and you are also my elder."
But at this point, I will not compromise. ” Carmen's eyes showed a deep disappointment, but also a trace of sadness that could not be dissolved.
Carmen flicked her sleeves.
Slowly stood up.
She glanced at the three empty wine glasses in front of her, frowned slightly, but lifted the wine bottle directly.
He raised his head and took a sip.
The white jade-like hand wiped the corner of his mouth: "This wine was left by your father" "Yes."
Du nodded slightly.
"I remember the taste."
Carmen seemed to smile: "In the old days, it was here.
It's in this study.
I remember that I seemed to be sitting in this position, and your father was sitting where you were sitting, and we were sitting and talking.

Your father was not a heavy drinker, but he was very good at drinking, and he was a good drinker.
Every time we argued about an issue, and in the end neither of us could convince the other, we started drinking.
And every time one gets drunk.
And he showed me his sword.
He boasted that his swordsmanship was the best in the world.
At that time, I was hard-mouthed and refused to admit his Fa, even though I had already agreed with it in my heart.
Both of us were extremely proud, and neither of us would accept the other.
Sometimes, when we had an argument to the end, we would have a big argument and I would walk away.
I lived in this castle for three years, and those three years were almost the easiest and fastest days of my life.
We argue every time.
Drinking, sword dancing, quarrelling.
Then reconcile, then argue, and then drink and dance the sword Your father seems to be kind, but the arrogance in his bones is more than anyone else, and you have completely inherited your father. ” Du Wei sighed softly, and said in a low voice: "My father has also been, if it weren't for the fact that you and him were too proud in the past, maybe."
Maybe" "In this world, there are not so many possibilities.
Many things are missed.
Carmen bit her lip: "I just didn't expect that.
I'll be back here after all these years.
In the same room, in the same position, to have another argument with his daughter, and I still can't do it with you. ” Du lowered his hand slightly, and said lightly: "The tradition of the tulip family, however, then fight" "Not bad."
Carmen's eyes lit up: "But, then hit this, your father was like that back then."
It's just that he didn't do anything with me, but showed me a sword dance.
Unexpectedly, I didn't do anything with him in the past, but now" "When you came here today, I knew that this decisive battle was inevitable."
Du smiled faintly: "You can't convince me, and I can't convince you."
You come with your convictions, then, since the lips and tongues cannot be solved, the only way to distinguish the winner is to use iron and blood. ” Carmen suddenly smiled: "Actually, I have long thought that this battle is imperative." ” Du Weiwei said calmly: "You have the heart to defend the way, I have the heart to keep the will, then let's fight."
Carmen looked at Du Weiwei, as if from Du Weiwei's face, she could vaguely see a little bit of the outline of the man back then.
"Before I do it, I want to do one thing first."
"What" "I want to eat something."
The evil aura on Carmen's body suddenly miraculously disappeared, and she looked at Du Weiwei: "I lived in this city for three years in the past, and your tulip family is famous for liking food, but I don't like it at all, but there is a meat puree cake made by one in this city, and I like it the most."
Every time your father falls out with me, he buys it for me to eat every few days, and then the two of them get back together.
I haven't set foot in the Northwest for many years, and this may be the last time I've set foot here in my life.
I want to take another bite. ” The cake was soon delivered to Carmen.
The owner of the cake maker is almost sixty years old, and the shop is located in a not too wide street in the east of Loulan City.
The owner worked as a chef in the castle for a few years and learned how to cook.
There is an exclusive secret recipe for the meatloaf, which is to add a little light wine to the water when kneading the dough, knead the light liquor flavor into the dough, bake it for three minutes, and then take the cake out of the oven, knead the minced meat puree in it, wrap it in a layer of oil, and then put it back into the oven to bake.
The meat puree cake baked in this way will have a faint sweet aftertaste after chewing, and the meat puree inside will not be too old.
Because of such a unique craft, his family's business has always been very good, each boss only sells 100 cakes, and when they sell out, they close the store to rest, and they don't do any more.
But in Loulan City, Duke Tulip's will is the will of God The order given by Duke Tulip was 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 Tulip family's guards.
This boss is like he has been making cakes all his life as if in a dream, and he has never been treated like this.
A few of Tulip's cooks helped the boss heat the stove with their own hands.
The magicians of the two families used fire magic to heat the hearth.
And the old butler of the tulip family castle with gray hair folded his sleeves and helped him make the wine with his own hands When the cake was delivered to Carmen, Carmen held it in her hand, it was still steaming, and when you bite into it gently, it is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
The crispy pancake and the soft meat filling are mixed together, and the aroma is instantly filled.
Carmen was under Du Wei's gaze, but she didn't seem to care at all, and simply ate a piece of pancake in one bite, and drank another sip of sweet wine soup before letting out a long breath.
"The taste is really the taste of the year."
Carmen closed her eyes and savored it: "It's just that it's baked too quickly, it should be the furnace temperature that the magician used fire magic to increase the temperature, so the dough is a little dry and hard, but this is already very good."
I thought I would never eat anything like this again in my life. ” Chen Daolin didn't say a word, he also ate half of it on the side and put it down, but he was a little disdainful in his heart, the taste of this cake, in Brother Daling's opinion, was just so-so, and he didn't feel that there were too many extraordinary, and he didn't know why it would make this Dean Carmen forget it for many years.

Carmen seemed to reluctantly glance at the remaining piece on the table, but looked away and took a deep breath.
At this time, Chen Daolin and Du Weiwei both noticed that there seemed to be a trace of water vapor flashing in the eyes of this beautiful dean, and then it quickly disappeared.
"That year, I met your father in the Academy of Magic, and came to Loulan City in the northwest to be the first guest, and he took me out of the castle at night, and we ran to this shop together, and we ran over the wall into the boss's bedroom, dragged him out of bed, and watched him make cakes for us.
Your father paid him a lot of gold.
But even so, your father was later punished by your grandfather.
That was the first time he invited me to eat this. ” Carmen seemed to be talking to herself: "And when I left Loulan City, he invited me to eat again" Decades ago, it seemed to be such a cold winter.
That morning, the snow had finally stopped.
The young man, who still had a heroic look on his face at that time, rode his horse and galloped after him.
He still smiled so brightly, and took out a piece of bread wrapped in layers of cotton cloth from his bosom, and when he opened it, there was still steaming heat.
Then, he was also the same as he is now, in front of him, and ate it in one bite.
Halfway through eating, I found that there was one more hard thing in my mouth.
When I spit it in my mouth, I realized that it was a ring I remember looking at the young man with panicked eyes, pinching the ring.
He was still laughing so heartlessly.
"Hey, if it's okay or not, you can give me a word, although we always quarrel, but I think I still like you very much."
Well, what was my reaction at the time, it was a subtle emotion, there was joy, but more of it was apprehension, and there was a trace of shame and anger So, I threw the ring back to him and fled The figure of the young man was left alone in the snow, and the smile on his face gradually turned into disappointment Half a year later, the news of his wedding came.
The smile on Carmen's lips froze, and she glanced at the plate in front of her again, and raised her head again.
"I've eaten it, so let's do it.
Du Weiwei, if I die, bury me in the academy, and if there is a tree in my yard, bury me under the tree.
