Chapter 118 Father and Son (Part I)

Du Wei also didn't understand in his heart why this alpha guard chief suddenly reminded himself in a low voice, as if he was quite kind to himself. The chief guard in my memory is an indifferent fellow, except for Lord Count, he does not fake color to anyone on weekdays.

Walking to the door of the study, Alpha stopped, took a deep look at Du Wei again, a gentle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then turned away.

Taking a deep breath, Du Wei pushed open the door of the study and walked in.

The Count's Mansion in the imperial capital is much smaller in scale than the castle of the Luolin family. The same is true of the study, which is far less than the frighteningly large study in Rollin's castle.

In fact, this study has always been used by Count Raymond as an important conference room. Count Raymond is a military general, not a scholar of letters, and naturally will not be like those old pedants.

In his study, there were only two rows of bookshelves with some necessary documents, and a large desk was full of documents from the military command.

The surroundings of this study seemed to be quiet, and there were no guards, but in fact, Du Wei knew that this place was almost the most heavily guarded place in the Earl's Mansion!

Hundreds of years of giants, the background is naturally different. Like the kind of three-step post, five-step and one-post, it is simply called the nouveau riche's style, everything is in the open.

And Count Raymond's study is important, although there is not a single guard standing guard around, but Du Wei knows that Count Raymond has been fighting horses all his life, and naturally has some shady dark power under his hands. Among them, there are some masters raised in private. And the reason why Alpha is so trusted by the count is because this secret force is all led by Alpha.

On weekdays. No one shall enter this study without the Count's order. If someone breaks in and doesn't walk into this yard, they will know how powerful it is! Back then, Du Wei didn't know about these, but now he is getting older, and he gradually sees the doorway. The courtyard around this study, the walls, and even some furnishings within the courtyard walls. It seemed to faintly carry a trace of magic fluctuations, which was obviously a clever magic array. If outsiders break in, the magic array can immediately warn, and there are some secret sentries arranged around all year round, all of which are those secret forces in the hands of Count Raymond.

For example, today, without Alpha leading, Du Wei alone would not be able to walk in!

"There must be some magic props on Alpha. Therefore, it will not trigger a reaction from the magic array. Du Wei secretly guessed.

Putting aside these distractions, Du Wei walked into the study and saw his father, the current Patriarch of the Rollin family, Count Raymond, sitting behind his desk. Holding a quill pen in his hand, his majestic face was covered with a trace of coldness, frowning, and carefully looking at a document in front of him that did not know what to do.

Du Wei quietly walked in and stood in front of him. He didn't speak, just stood with his hands down, looking honest.

It wasn't until a long time passed that Count Raymond seemed to come to his senses, casually wrote a few strokes on the document, put down the quill pen, raised his head, and glanced at Du Wei with a calm face. The eyes were very flat, not happy or angry, as if there were no mood swings for Du Weidi's return. Du Wei raised his head and looked at his father calmly.

After a while, Count Raymond slowly said, "Well, you're back."

Du Wei took a deep breath: "Yes, I'm back... Father-sama. Count

Raymond's eyebrows were slightly raised, and a trace of fluctuation flashed in his originally calm eyes. Opened his mouth slightly. Then a wistful smile slowly formed at the corner of his mouth, as if with a hint of mockery: "Oh... You called my father-sama... Hey! It's been more than a dozen years. If I'm not mistaken, this is the first time you've taken the initiative to call me 'father', right?

As soon as

these words came out, even though Du Wei had already made full preparations in his heart, he couldn't help but flash a trace of sourness in his heart.

Quietly looking at his father, he couldn't help but feel a trace of emotion in his heart.

He... It seems to be a lot older.

Count Raymond is forty-nine years old, not much older than the Alpha guards, but he looks much older than Alpha! You know, Count Raymond, as the patriarch of the Rollin family, comes from a martial arts family, and his martial arts skills are definitely extraordinary! It can also be called a strong man in the imperial ** side! The Luolin family's family skills are naturally not ordinary.

But Count Raymond is still old. I'm even a little tired from old age.

Back then, the tall and mighty case, returning triumphantly from the sea, a sharp general, is now less than fifty years old, there are already many wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, although Gu Pan's power is still undiminished, but that old age cannot be concealed.

Even sitting there, his body did not seem to be as straight as before, but he leaned back in his chair a little tiredly.

As if sensing that his son was wandering, Count Raymond coughed lightly and pulled Du Wei's wandering mind back.

The count slowly stood up from his chair, wearing a set of pure white cotton robes, which was a habit in the army, simple and comfortable. This imperial general, unlike other nobles, prefers this kind of clean and simple clothing.

He slowly bypassed the table and walked in front of Di Duwei, standing in front of Du Wei like this, quietly and condescendingly looking at Du Wei.

Du Wei was also a little dazed for a while, not knowing what his father was going to do.

Shrouded in this majestic gaze for a long time, Du Wei carefully converged the sharpness and sharpness of his whole body, and stood honestly with his hands down, without even raising his head to meet his father's eyes.

"You... Grew up a little. Suddenly, the count sighed slowly, and his majestic voice had become softer: "When you left home last year, your size only reached my chest, and now it has reached my shoulders!" When

Du Wei heard this, he couldn't help but tremble slightly... Is he standing so close to me just to see my size?

At this moment, he has completely lost his identity as a general and patriarch, which is purely a "typical" act of a father!

But just as Du Wei was moved in his heart, immediately, another thought came up, and several things seemed to flash in his eyes...

That flow from the military... Archery!

Military!

Taking a deep breath, Du Wei raised his head and "revealed" a cramped smile on his face: "Yes, father... It's just that my body is still too weak, and I don't look like your might at all... I'm afraid that in two years, my brother will grow taller than me.

Looking at the "smile" on his son's face, a trace of haze flashed in Count Raymond's eyes, he sighed, stretched out his hand, and seemed to want to hug Du Wei, but the hand was in the air, hesitated, but it turned into a shoulder patting action, gently patted Du Wei's shoulder twice, and the hand retracted.

Subsequently, Count Raymond smiled bitterly twice: "You... Forget it, I don't blame you. You must still hate me in your heart.

Du Wei didn't speak, just stood quietly.

Count Raymond shook his head, he sighed, slowly walked back to the desk, calmly sat down, and then pointed to a chair in the study: "You sit too." Starting today, you returned to the imperial capital, and your every move represented the Luolin family... I... I was wrong. "

Admit mistakes honestly?

Du Wei frowned secretly, not knowing what his father was going to say.

Count Raymond looked at Du Wei's expression, snorted, and then suddenly turned around and took out a delicate crystal wine bottle from the cabinet under his desk, and gently unscrewed the cap.

This is obviously a good wine.

Count Raymond had a smile on his face: "Well, no matter what you thought about my father in your heart, now, I just want to have a good talk with you." Because starting today, your first step into the imperial capital... Everything in the future is inevitable! Do you understand? Two

delicate crystal wine glasses filled Yin red liquor. Du Wei and Count Raymond each squeezed a wine glass. The study was a little dull, and both of them seemed to be immersed in the atmosphere of wine tasting, and neither spoke first.

After a long time, a trace of surprise flashed in Count Raymond's eyes, and he smiled slowly, and spoke: "I really didn't expect that I raised a good son!" Good son! I've really looked away over the years... If nothing else, your patience and calmness have already surprised me.

"Since I drove you out of the imperial capital and returned to the Luolin Plain, in fact, I have received news that your every move there has been rewarded." Count Raymond spoke slowly. Du Wei was not surprised, as the patriarch of the family, it would be strange to say that he did not know anything about all his actions in the Rollin Plain.

"It's only been a year, and you've come up with something that surprises me." My son... Hmph, what kind of football, you can turn a little game into a money-making machine, and make those businesses, and that hot air balloon... I know, last time your mother's birthday, that 'Goddess of Dawn's Forgiveness', that thing was called... Flowers, huh? It was nice and amazing. The Rollin Plain is our family's fiefdom, and although the family's income now has other channels, the Rollin Plain can bring hundreds of thousands of gold coins in taxes to the family every year. But in a year, you don't take a single gold coin from your family, and you earn it yourself... Oh, let me see... There are more than 140,000 gold coins, right? "
