Chapter 506

LAN Haiyue's eyes stay on the line of "following the Great Snow Mountain", as if he had been meditating for a long time.

Worry... Is it time to start looking for an heir

LAN Haiyue takes back her eyes. In her squinting eyes, does it twinkle with complicated meaning so fast? I don't think it's time yet.

With the cultivation of Bai He Chou, it is absolutely unnecessary for him to decide the issue of successor so early. Is there any special reason for him to leave the big snow mountain? Or did he give up his position as Witch King?

What's more... I asked myself about my successor, but I had already left the snow mountain many years ago.

Blue ocean Yue held the letter in his hand. He wanted to burn it gently, but suddenly he folded it carefully and put it back in his arms.

With a faint sigh, LAN Haiyue looked at the Sophora tree in the yard and said with a low smile: "we are old... We are all old. In a twinkling of an eye, it has been more than 30 years. When I lived here, the tree was not so thick... "

He turned around, old body, actually some trembling look, perhaps because of the complex mood.

As LAN Haiyue gently waved her sleeve, the fire on the nearby stove suddenly went out. The old man sat back in the chair, closed his eyes and began to think quietly.

Worry, do you want me to watch it for you? See if your female apprentice is suitable to inherit Daxueshan? Hum... You really give me a big problem.

Worry, the reason why you gave this question to me, to a traitor who has been your enemy for decades, must be because you also noticed the subtle thoughts of your female apprentice.

Dewey, Dewey again. Why does everything seem to have something to do with this kid.

LAN Haiyue, the first wise man in the capital, is thinking.

He did not fail to see the strange tone of AI Lu when she mentioned Dewey. No matter how she tried to hide it, in front of the wise old man, this young man's astringency made her cover up unable to escape the old man's sharpened eyes.

Moreover, LAN Haiyue also kept some contact with his disciple Philip, so to speak. He also knew something about Dewey in the northwest. For example, why did Dewey suddenly get engaged in advance, and some subtle changes in the Duke's palace

Philip once mentioned in his letter that there was a time when a girl named AILU, a friend of Dewey, appeared in the palace. And in the association of this AI Lu mentioned Du Wei in front of himself, that kind of strange tone.

It doesn't need complicated association. LAN Haiyue, an experienced old man, has already tasted the subtle emotion.

But... This is the real problem.

The girl is very young and healthy. Beautiful and smart. And she has great talent. It's not easy for AI Lu to practice the body art of Daxueshan at such a young age. Of course, it's much inferior to the three outstanding Daxueshan people of the previous generation, LAN Hai Yue Bai He Chou Chi Shui Duan.

But after all. In the long history of Daxueshan, there are few such talents as these three. If one of these three people appears occasionally in the past dynasties. It can be regarded as the most powerful contemporary characters, not to mention three at the same time.

So, AILU is doing quite well. And according to LAN Haiyue's observation, the girl's ice fighting attainments are also good. However, it seems that her talent in witchcraft is a little lower... But it doesn't matter. The witchcraft kings of all ages, not everyone like Bai hechou, can practice witchcraft and martial arts to the top. For example, he was cut off from Chishui. It's the same. They are only good at one thing.

But... Inherit Daxueshan.

LAN Haiyue immediately thought of the bitter and cold snowy mountain on the top of the mountain. It was so boring all the year round that people could almost annihilate all the days of passion and fantasy for life. One by one, even the blood was cold enough. Those children were assimilated by the cold environment from their youth, and gradually lost their laughter and fun, He has become a cold-blooded animal who only knows how to practice all day long. To this day, LAN Haiyue still remembers standing in the ice and snow, practicing the action of stabbing icicles over and over again

No, days like that. It is a kind of attrition of human nature. This girl is alive. Should we really live like that? She inherited the master position of Daxueshan and became the king of witchcraft... Then she spent countless days and nights in her life. Just stay at the top of the bitter and cold snow bee, let such a fresh flower wither in the ice and snow little by little

Especially, when the girl mentioned Du Wei, the strange tone, the subtle emotion, LAN Haiyue certainly understood what it meant

However, once she was selected as the heir, destined to inherit the position of the Witch King... Then, she must be cruel and say goodbye to all this!

Because the Witch King of the past dynasties, it is absolutely impossible to have any emotion or even love!

On the big snow mountain, there is only endless indifference and ice and snow day after day, as well as the oblivion of all the joys and sorrows in human nature!

LAN Haiyue hesitated.

Or with the age gradually old, for the elderly, will always become more and more softhearted. So is Lan Haiyue!

He knew that the smart worry on the snow mountain, a strong enemy who had lived in his shadow all his life, must have had an insight into the mind of his female disciple. So

"Hum, worry, so you don't have the heart to make a decision and leave it to me." LAN Haiyue covers her chest and pinches the letter through her clothes.

He knew that Baihe was waiting for his reply.

If she answers "yes", no matter how many wonderful fantasies AILU has about life in her heart, she must return to the snow mountain under the strict rules of baihechou and Daxueshan, whether she wants to or not, even if she doesn't want to. White River worry will also mercilessly hand to break all her fantasies!

Then, waiting for her fate is to become the master of the snow mountain and live on the snow bee all her life

But what if you answer "no"?

Will Bai He worry about giving up the idea of letting AI Lu inherit the snow mountain?

So maybe this girl's life has a chance to change. In the beautiful eyes, the flame of hope may still burn. Perhaps, a trace of emotion in her heart can also have

After all, she is a young, beautiful and healthy girl. She should have a colorful life, just like thousands of girls in the world, just like the ordinary girls she met in DIDU.

It has to be said that Lan Haiyue, who has lived in the imperial capital for many years, unconsciously, his way of thinking has been involuntarily separated from the big snow mountain and more inclined to an ordinary Roland.

Do you want to say "no"? So this girl might be able to enjoy life.

But

Blue sea Yue hesitated, he is very keen to grasp the key to this problem!

Bai He Chou suddenly decided to be his successor at this time. Does he have any difficulty?

Or he

Can't he live long? Or is there any special reason to leave

In that case. Daxueshan needs a leader and an heir!! Compared with the future of Daxueshan, a girl's personal life seems to be less important

LAN Haiyue has been thinking, time passes quickly unconsciously. When he came back, AILU had come back.

She walked into the courtyard with light steps, with the youthful vitality that the old man envied. Then the young girl reached out and held an oil paper bag. Clear voice with a smile: "uncle, you are right, the beef is really delicious!"

Under the mask, the eyes seemed to be laughing.

Blue ocean sighs

LAN Haiyue is worried.

At the moment, Dewey is also busy.

In three days, the first round of the preliminary round of the martial arts competition has all ended. Finally, more than 3000 contestants decided the winner of the first round after a group of eight. Later, for some special reasons, the list of the winners of the first round of preliminary competition changed. After the competition, some players were not convinced of their defeat in the challenge arena and went to fight with their opponents in private. As a result, some of them were killed or injured. Some other bastards went to drink after celebrating their passing of the preliminary competition and got drunk. As a result, they were arrested in the prison of the imperial public security office.

There are still some people who have passed the preliminaries. But I see that there are many experts among the players. I've lost hope for the next game, so I just gave up.

result. Finally, 397 people were left on the list.

Among them are Dewey himself, 32 Holy Knights of the order of Holy Knights, AILU, of course... And the Dragonball trio that made Dewey roll his eyes.

But tomorrow, the game will be suspended for one day. Of course, duvet is not kind enough to give the warriors a day off. For Dewey, the three-day competition has made him a lot of money in gambling and ticket revenue. If Dewey decides, he would like to have this kind of competition every day for 365 days a year!

But not tomorrow.

Because tomorrow is the annual New Year's day of Roland empire!

December 31... So tomorrow, the imperial capital will celebrate the whole city, and there will be large-scale fireworks and various festivals tomorrow night. Of course, there is no time for any competitions.

And for Dewey, another highlight tomorrow night is the new year's dinner at the palace. There is another more important thing for this dinner:

On this dinner, the great emperor Augustine VI will not attend the new year's ceremony because of his ill health. This is the first time that his majesty Augustine VI has been absent from such an important day in decades since he succeeded to the throne.

This is the result of the discussion between Prince Chen and Du Wei. On the day of Qingfeng Festival, the substitute will not be used on this new year's day. Instead, the news of the old emperor's illness will be released first. In this way, when the issue of succession to the throne comes, people will not be too abrupt.

And now... No one in the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital knows their nominal emperor. It's been almost three months.

Well, the temple hasn't been discovered yet.

New year's Eve!!

The whole city is decorated with lanterns, and even the soldiers of the security office are wearing the latest uniforms they have just issued. On the Palace Square, the royal guards are wearing bright armor and bright red cape, looking majestic.

The whole emperor is immersed in the festive atmosphere, the fireworks stored in the warehouse of the emperor. In the evening as if no money to enjoy the same set off!

Obviously, Duwei and the Regent are all in the same mind... Because, before the invasion of alien criminals in the future, this may be the last peaceful new year before the great war in the future! So... Let these people who have no knowledge of their future destiny enjoy the last peaceful and happy time.

Even the Regent ordered the curfew to be lifted in the imperial capital and the square in front of the palace. It is also open to the general public and can be enjoyed.

This order was immediately cheered and supported by the whole city. In the evening, tens of thousands of people came here to see the fireworks on the square in front of the palace. The crowd paralyzed the traffic on more than a dozen streets.

And the nobles who got the Royal invitation card and went to the palace for the new year's dinner tonight had to go around to the northwest gate of the Imperial City

In order to let the people celebrate, and let the nobility change course, from this point alone. Prince Chen should be a very good monarch.

As usual, as Dewey, he went into the palace in the afternoon and accompanied Prince Chen all the time. Then, at the dinner party, he would go into the meeting with Prince Chen... This has always been a special honor only recognized as the first minister of the Empire. In previous years, only the old prime Minister robustscher got this kind of treatment. However, since he retired to the second tier, he has been treated as the first minister of the Empire, Especially after Dewey returned to the imperial capital. From the beginning of Qingfeng Festival, this honor belongs to Du Wei.

The new year's dinner is much easier than the Qingfeng Festival. There are not so many traditional almost religious rules, so it seems a little casual. Of course, the scene is still very grand, and the number of participants is almost double that of Qingfeng Festival.

In the aristocratic circle of the Empire, to be invited to the new year's Royal dinner is almost a symbol of joining the aristocratic circle of the Empire.

And obviously. Once again, Dewey is in the spotlight.

After Prince Chen and Du Wei entered the stadium one after another. Dewey walked carefully behind Prince Chen, and then the Regent of the Empire announced in public that his Majesty was not well enough to attend tonight. No one was surprised. After all, the old emperor's age is there, and he has been depressed since he was elevated. Of course, some people vaguely smell something, but also very clever did not show in the face.

Then came the first dance of the Regent and queen.

It is worth mentioning that Princess Louise has not returned to the imperial capital!

Miss Dali was sent by Dewey from the northwest to get her to DIDU more than ten days ago. Duwei secretly meets her, and shows great fear and obedience when he meets Duwei's daili. Then Duwei confidently sends her back to Prince Chen. From the woman's eyes, he can see that she completely gives in and loses the courage to fight against herself.

It's a pity that Princess Louise hasn't come back yet!

Duwei sent people to the northwest only to pick up Dali, while Princess Louise brought a letter. The letter was very clear: Unfortunately, she was ill again in the northwest. Although she was not seriously ill, in order to avoid aggravating her illness on the long journey, she had to postpone her return to the imperial capital, although Prince Chen didn't say much when he saw the letter, However, he took a deep look at Du Wei at that time, which made Du Wei feel uneasy.

When Dewey went back that day, he was very depressed.

The news from the northwest, this Princess Louise is obviously not sick... But now she refused to go! According to Dewey's men, this one eyed Paladin Mr. Louise justice is now guarding us in giliat City, almost never leaving!

Moreover, it seems that the relationship between them has become more and more harmonious

"Shit! What is "getting more and more harmonious" Du Wei knew that it was his subordinates who didn't dare to talk nonsense and didn't know how to use words. Just said such a vague description: "I think it's love affair fever at all!"

Princess Louise fell in love and refused to come back, which brought Dewey a problem of opinion: after the Regent finished his first dance at the dinner party, it was his turn to end!

Although Dewey can do the same trick again, holding the 8-year-old Princess Lori Karina for another dance, it's a pity that the news from the court is that Princess Karina sprained her leg when she was riding

"Well then..." Du Wei sighed.

At the moment, Prince Chen's dance has finished, and the music starts again. It's Dewey's turn.

More than 100 noble girls on the scene were looking at Duwei eagerly, waiting for the favor of the current empire's first nobleman... Although Duwei made a fool of himself in the competition two days ago, he was the Duke of tulip after all!!

Some noble girls in evening clothes try their best to lean forward. Some even show their cleavage deliberately to attract Dewey's eyes. Others keep shaking their small fans and scratching their heads. Hell, don't you know it's the end of December? Also shaking the fan... Du Weidi's eyes swept through the crowd... Then he stood up helplessly and walked aimlessly towards the ladies... "Oh! He's coming! He's coming There was a murmur and a nervous murmur from the ladies. Du Wei clenched his teeth and closed his eyes. He walked straight in the past, pretended to walk through the flowers at will, endured the fiery eyes from around, and finally stretched out his hand to a direction in front of him. He sighed: "may I ask you..." there was a sigh of frustration around him, but in the direction where duvet reached out to invite, a girl who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old sat on a soft chair. Wearing a bright red evening dress is like a blooming rose. However, to Duwei's slight surprise, this girl did not wait for her arrival as eagerly as other noble girls. When he stood in front of her and reached for an invitation, Dewey even saw a trace of disgust in the girl's eyes? yes! you 're right! It's disgust!! Dewey looked at the girl carefully. She was young and beautiful. She has a pair of rare brown eyes, golden hair, delicate and white skin, beautiful face, and a little baby fat that girls of her age have. It can be imagined that when she grows up a few years later, this baby fat will fade away, and she will become a gorgeous beauty. Yes, of course. Now she is also very beautiful. Just... Why does she look at me in such disgust? Dewey is absolutely sure. I don't know this girl at all. I haven't even met her“ Is that ok? " Dewey reached out for another invitation. The girl gave Du Wei a cold look. Then suddenly she stood up, looked up and down at Dewey, and said coldly, "what do you think I am? Your highness! You think I can't get married? Now take me as a shield again! Go find someone else! Because I feel sick when I see you Her voice was not too light, and some people standing close could hear her clearly. But Dewey was stunned. He touched his nose and couldn't help laughing: "beautiful lady... Do you know me? Do you have a grudge against me? "“ You! You make me a joke! The Duke of tulips The girl was furious over her beautiful face.
