Chapter 67 [Drilling into the wolf's den]
"Forget it!" Chen Daolin shook his head quickly. Although he was quite curious, although he had no experience in the world, he at least understood that such a thing as peeping at other people's secrets would be very dangerous if he was discovered.
The guys in that small yard were all good at plagiarism, and everyone was carrying wanted rewards on their backs. Now they went to spy on them, which was simply a trouble.
Even if Du Weiwei is the Duke of Tulip, she may not be very safe. She is a useless man and does not know how to do magic. Why bother joining in the fun and taking such risks?
"Go back." Chen Daolin shook his head and said.
Du Wei smiled and looked at Chen Daolin, and stopped saying anything.
The two walked out of this deep alley and came outside. The carriage was still waiting here. After getting on the carriage, they returned to the hotel where they lived.
Along the way, Du Weiwei didn't say anything, and Chen Daolin no longer had the nature of chatting, but he couldn't help but think about everything that happened in that small yard tonight.
When they returned to the hotel, most of the tulip warriors came back.
Chen Daolin and Du Weiwei walked into the hotel, and a warrior who was vigilant immediately came up to greet him. After the two went upstairs, they went back to their respective rooms.
The next day, after Chen Daolin got up, he went to knock on Barossa's door. The elf girl was already dressed in a well-equipped manner waiting for Chen Daolin.
The two of them came to the lobby of the hotel together and saw that the Tulips warriors had already prepared to set off. The carriage was ready in the yard, and the guards had already prepared the horses.
Du Weiwei finally walked slowly down from another staircase. She changed into men's clothing again, as if she had covered her charming and charming face last night. Lan Lan followed her with a strange look. When she walked down, she saw Chen Daolin from afar. Lan Lan seemed to want to speak but stopped, but finally sighed.
"Mr. Darling." Du Weiwei walked to Chen Daolin very happily. After the two of them had happened last night, they seemed to be more familiar with each other. Du Weiwei's tone was very casual: "Is it a good rest last night?"
"Thank you, it's okay." Chen Daolin nodded, and Du Weiwei said: "Since we have a good rest, let's get on the road now. If we leave Freeport and walk south, we can reach the Eastern Fortress in the afternoon. That is the real border of the Roland Empire."
After hearing this, Chen Daolin did not nod immediately. Instead, he glanced at Du Weiwei, pondered for a moment, and took a deep breath: "When it comes to the road, I just don't know how to speak to you."
Du Weiwei's expression moved: "Oh?"
"All the way comes from the frozen forest, my companions and I are all caring for you." Chen Daolin looked sincere, bowed deeply to Du Wei, and then straightened up: "But there is no dinner in the world that will last... Ah, that banquet. The Tulip Family and I were originally not close, but thanks to your care along the way and received the protection of the caravan, so we were able to get here safely. However, I will not walk with you in the next journey."
Du Weiwei narrowed her slender eyes and raised her eyebrows: "Why?"
"Everyone has their own ambitions." Chen Daolin smiled softly: "I have my place to live and I have my things to do. We have been together all the way and it is also my honor to be able to meet the world-famous Duke of Tulip."
Du Wei sighed slightly and frowned, "So, I wonder what Mr. Darling has plans?"
"That's it." Chen Daolin thought for a while and said with a smile: "I haven't been to the Roland Empire yet. I think I'll walk around, maybe east, maybe south, or west... I can't even explain this."
When Du Weiwei heard this, she couldn't help but feel amused: saying this is obvious that she doesn't want to tell herself.
She was not angry, and pondered for a moment, looked at Chen Daolin and said seriously: "Since the sir talked about this, I have a few heartfelt words to tell you. I wonder if Mr. Darling is willing to listen?"
"Well?"
"Please, let's sit down and talk." Du Weiwei's expression was very free and easy, pointing to a table in the corner of the hall.
Chen Daolin hesitated for a moment, but he had to eat and drink along the way, so he naturally couldn't put on airs now, so he had to pull Barossa and follow Du Weiwei and sit down.
After Du Weiwei sat down, he glanced at Ge Yan and others who were still guarding the hall, and waved his hand gently. Ge Yan immediately took the people out.
"What the hell?" Chen Daolin smiled bitterly, "Do you still need to avoid others?"
As he said that, he couldn't help but take a look at Lan Lan who had been following Du Weiwei.
Lanlan's expression was faint, and she kept her head down and no longer looked at her. Chen Daolin sighed slightly in her heart. Although she had already warned herself to give up completely with this woman, a faint feeling of sorrow still appeared in her heart.
"Mr. Darling." Du Weiwei actually took the initiative to lift a copper pot on the table and poured a cup of tea for Chen Daoli.
Chen Daolin's face moved, and he looked at the other party's movements, and made a somewhat flattered expression on his face, but he was secretly alert in his heart.
As this woman, I am afraid that even the royal relatives and nobles are not qualified to let her pour tea with their own hands. They are suddenly so polite to themselves... either being traitor or robber.
"Duke..." Chen Daolin frowned, and Du Weiwei frowned after saying a word. When Chen Daolin saw the other person's expression, he immediately moved his heart and changed his mouth: "Weiwei!"
Du Weiwei then smiled: "Well, I'm not a duke yet. Even if I really succeeded, you are my friend, so you don't have to be so polite. Just call me my name."
Chen Daolin thought in his heart: Forget it, I will accompany him for this kind of people-friendly trick.
"Weiwei, I wonder what's going on?" Chen Daolin lowered his posture.
"Don't dare." Du Weiwei poured himself a cup of tea without panic, then raised his eyelids and looked at Chen Daolin, and said slowly: "I wonder what Mr. Darling thinks of my Tulip family?"
Such a sudden question made Chen Daolin a little confused. He was stunned and said, "That... the Tulip family is famous all over the world, with strong strength, and everyone knows it. That, I..."
"Well, Darling, you're polite." Du Wei smiled faintly: "It's just that the reputation of our ancestors and the efforts of generations of people have not dared to degenerate our ancestors."
As she said that, she seemed to have deliberately paused, and suddenly said: "Mr. Darling came to my Roland Empire from overseas. Although I have met for a few days, my erudition and demeanor in my heart make me admire it very much. I know that Mr. Darling has a high vision, but I think that Mr. Darling has no relatives and no reason in my Roland Empire, and I need to find a place to stay in the future. I have learned from what Mr. Darling has learned, so I have a heartless request."
"…uh?" Chen Daolin was a little stunned.
"Sir, I have nothing to do anyway, so why not go to the imperial capital with me." Du Wei smiled slightly, but with a faint aura in his tone, he slowly said: "My Tulip family's business is spread all over the empire and abroad, and it is involved in all fields. I will soon inherit the title and take charge of the family power. To be honest, I met and met and met very much, and I admired him very much. I thought to myself that if I am willing to assist me, if I inherit the title and take charge of the clan power in the future, I need to let go of things. If the teacher can work with me, there will be many big things at that time, so that the teacher can show the talent he has learned! If the teacher is willing to nod, my Tulip family will never let me down and I will definitely give it a favor!"
"Huh?" Chen Daolin widened his eyes and looked at Du Weiwei in surprise. After several seconds, he smiled bitterly and said, "You... are you trying to recruit me?!"
At this moment, Chen Daolin was really a little amused and crying.
Damn when I see other people's time travel, I'm all the protagonist's body is shocked and recruits a few capable younger brothers? Why is it my turn to become the target of being recruited?
"No," Du Wei smiled slightly, but she had a calm and gentle spirit: "Or, it's not a recruitment, but a sincere invitation. I want to ask Your Excellency Darling to create a career with me!"
"..." Chen Daolin was silent for a while, his heart was full of strangeness. Finally, he couldn't help but raise his head and looked at Du Weiwei: "You...I don't understand, why do you want to recruit me?"
"Mr. Darling was joking!" Du Weiwei put away his smile and said seriously: "Your great talent, let me say that the profound knowledge you have learned in my heart is the only one I have seen in my life! I have met countless well-known scholars and wise men, but I have never seen many wonderful ideas and thought-provoking ideas like you. You have all been involved in astronomy, geography, politics, philosophy and military affairs. If I miss it, I am not worthy of being the patriarch of this Tulip Family."
Chen Daolin suddenly felt a little moved.
Damn, when I graduated, I handed over more than 40 resumes. Are there any? As a result, no company has ever been around me...
Heaven has eyes, look, now the chairman and CEO of the Tulip Family, who is so awesome, I decided that my brother is a talent!
"If you don't dislike me, I would like to invite Mr. Darling to serve as my family's guest minister, first as my personal consultant, and follow me to the imperial capital. Well... I know Mr. Karling's elegant and noble character, and said that money is really indecent, but people always have to eat. If Mr. Karling does not refuse, I would like to use 50,000 gold coins per year as some allowances and subsidies to Mr. Darling, so that his life can be free. In addition, my family still has several houses in the imperial capital. After I go back, I will send someone to carefully select one to settle down for Mr. Karling. How about it?"
Damn, the annual salary of 50,000 gold coins! Chen Daolin has been in this world for many days, and he knows very well that 50,000 gold coins in this world are definitely a huge sum of money.
And... Is it a house in the imperial capital?
Well, the Tulip family's house in the imperial capital is definitely not an ordinary person. Such affordable housing with two bedrooms and two living rooms is like this woman's identity.
At least it is a luxury villa, right?
And, the imperial capital!
Think about how expensive housing prices in the capital in the real world!!
Aide? Guest housekeeper?
Just be casual. Such a large amount of money is to put it bluntly. As long as he is not allowed to be a duck, he will do it to kill and set fire!
but……
Suddenly, just as Chen Daolin was thinking about it, he felt a strange look ejaculation from the side. Chen Daolin saw this look clearly, and the heat in his mind instantly dissipated.
Lan Lan sat beside Du Weiwei and stared at Chen Daolin silently. Her eyes seemed very calm, but there was a little strange in the calmness.
she……
Chen Daolin noticed it, Lan Lan seemed to lightly point her chin.
She...want to let me agree?
Chen Daolin saw the other party’s signal, and suddenly, he became furious!
promise?
Promise your sister!!
What money, house and treatment are all squeezed out of Chen Daolin's mind in an instant.
At this moment, all that was left in his eyes was the blue look.
joke!
Who is I?
Have the wealth paths in the world been cut off? Are the people in the world dead? Or are I still desperate and have nowhere to eat?
Because of these days, he is familiar with Du Weiwei, and Du Weiwei's daughter, Chen Daolin will intentionally or unintentionally ignore Du Weiwei's other identity to him: his love rival!
It is the rival who made Lan Lan abandon himself!
As a man, if he condescends and accepts the recruitment of his rival, he will hold his job under the other party's command.
This kind of thing cannot be tolerated!!
Taking a deep breath, Chen Daolin's originally flushed face also retreated little by little.
Then he looked into Du Weiwei's eyes and slowly said, "I really want to say, thank you for your appreciation. But... I must say to you: No."
Du Wei frowned slightly.
"Sorry, although the conditions you offered and the pictures are very touching." Chen Daolin sighed (he was really bleeding in his heart at this moment), he still shook his head firmly: "I still can't accept your invitation."
"...Why?" Du Wei frowned slightly, then she suddenly glanced at Lan Lan beside her and smiled bitterly: "It's because...I understand."
"Yes, not." Chen Daolin was a little excited, and the self-esteem he had hidden was aroused bit by bit. He tried to say in a calm tone: "I actually have many problems. I can't say that I have any skills. I'm still very grateful to you for being appreciated by a big man like you. But... I have a bad habit."
"……What?"
"I don't like to bow my head to others." Chen Daolin's words were still very calm, but a strong sense of persistence and confidence seemed to be revealed in his voice: "So, I don't want to assist anyone or be a guest for anyone, even the world-renowned Duke of Tulips can't do it. I... just want to be my boss. Even if I'm not going to be satisfied in the future, even if I won't make as much wealth and real estate as you just said, at least I don't have to look at people's faces, do whatever I want."
At the end of the day, Chen Daolin had already stood up and smiled at Du Wei and said, "So, I'm sorry!"
He saw that Du Weiwei seemed to have the intention to keep him, but with Chen Daolin's mood at this moment, since he had already shown off, he would just pretend to be the end.
He raised his hand to Du Weiwei and saluted, then took Barossa's hand directly, turned around and left the table, and walked straight out of the hall door.
Du Weiwei was stunned. Unexpectedly, Chen Daolin was so straightforward and determined to do things. When she was stunned, Chen Daolin had already walked outside the yard.
"etc!"
Du Wei shouted slightly and quickly chased after him.
Chen Daolin stood in the yard, turned around and frowned at Du Weiwei: "What?"
"..." Du Weiwei looked at Chen Daolin with some complexity, and finally sighed, and a smile appeared on her face: "Everyone has their own aspirations. Since you don't want to, I won't force it. We are all walking along the way, and we are friends. Since we are leaving, I have something to give it to you." As he said that, seeing Chen Daolin frown and seemed to want to refuse, Du Weiwei immediately said quickly: "It's not a property, but I think that your identity is special. It may be a bit troublesome to settle in the Roland Empire."
As she said that, she stretched out a palm, but there was a small badge on her palm. The badge was shaped like a flame tulip, exuding a faint yellow copper luster. It was obvious that the badge was made very exquisitely, and the patterns of the flame tulip were clearly defined, and it must have been written by a skilled craftsman.
"This is the token of my family." Du Wei smiled and said, "It's not a valuable thing, but fortunately, my family is still a bit important in the empire. If you hold this badge, you can enter and exit the border of the empire. Even if you get to the empire, you can also apply for a legal identity with this badge."
After a pause, Du Weiwei's smile became even more strange: "I know Mr. Darling is arrogant and unwilling to be favored easily, but even if you don't think about yourself, you still have to think about your companions. If you, your elf companion, want to enter the border of the empire, it will be inconvenient."
Chen Daolin originally wanted to refuse, but since the other party said that, this badge was really useful to him - otherwise, he would probably not even be able to cross the border as a black householder.
What's more, Barossa...
Without saying a word, he walked over and took the badge and put it in his pocket, and took a deep look at Du Weiwei.
"Thank you." Chen Daolin took a deep breath: "One day, I will repay you."
After saying that, he turned around again and pulled Barossa to leave the hotel with great strides. This time, he never looked back.
...
After walking out of the hotel, Chen Daolin and Barossa walked on the street and walked across a street. Chen Daolin's heroic spirit gradually dissipated and began to consider the real problems in front of him.
Chen Daolin would never regret refusing to follow Du Weiwei to the imperial capital.
No man is willing to accept the favor of his rival. What's more, it's really not a good thing for others to go to live under someone else's roof.
Brother is a time traveler. If you don’t explain, are you still afraid that you won’t be famous in this world?
Since we left the Tulips family, we must find a place to stay... or just leave this free port.
Chen Daolin was also quite scared of what happened last night - this free port is too complicated. It is too dangerous to stay in this wolf den, so it is better to leave early.
He suddenly remembered the various messages he talked about about Freeport when he was chatting with Du Weiwei. I remember Du Weiwei introduced that there was a carriage shop in Freeport, which was a business founded by veterans of the Invisible Society. It had a very good reputation. Last night, the one who carried himself and Du Weiwei to the dance and gladiator are the vehicles of this carriage shop.
Moreover, I seem to remember that Du Weiwei mentioned that there are also long-distance carriages for traveling.
Thinking of this, Chen Daolin felt relieved immediately. He took Barossa and the two walked towards the center of the town.
The carriages are easy to find. Just next to the central square of the town, there is a huge square. This carriages occupy more than half, and dozens of carriages are parked here. Chen Daolin looked at it and felt a bit like a long-distance bus stop in the real world.
He walked over and watched for a while before he saw some tricks. He ran to a shop facing the street, so he found a manager to inquire, and then got the news he wanted.
There are carriages for long-distance travel, but the price is not cheap. And it depends on whether there is a suitable carpooling - otherwise, if there are only one or two people, you can put a carriage on a long distance, and you are afraid that the ticket price is not enough for the horse's feed.
"You are lucky. A family was going to the central fortress in the morning." The chariot manager smiled and said, "They hired an eight-seater carriage, but there are still spaces. If you don't mind, just buy a car with them."
After a pause, the manager laughed and said, "But I agreed that the travel fee to the Central Fortress is not cheap."
Chen Daolin was not short of money in his pocket, so he threw a gold coin to the manager. The manager stopped asking and took Chen Daolin to a corner of the square.
Here, a large carriage is parked here. The carriage is indeed a long-distance ride. It is a six-wheeled carriage that is longer than an ordinary carriage.
When Chen Daolin and Du Weiwei walked up to him, the manager attracted the driver sitting in the car, whispered a few words to him, and then pointed at Chen Daolin.
The coachman looked not old last year, but he looked very smart. He nodded politely to Chen Daolin, took the initiative to walk over and opened the door of the car, and said with a smile: "Please come in, if you have nothing to do, we can set off now. If we walk fast, we can cross the border line tonight and settle in a small village. Don't worry, I always run this line. I am very familiar with you along the way, and I guarantee that you will be comfortable all the way."
After a pause, he smiled and said, "The guests in the car are a whole family, and they are very kind, so it should not be difficult to get along with."
Chen Daolin nodded, first let Barossa get on the carriage, and then he also walked into the car door from behind.
The driver behind him quickly closed the car door. Chen Daolin looked at the light of the window and saw that there were indeed several people sitting in the car, including boyfriend and girlfriend, old and young.
He nodded to these people habitually and laughed loudly: "Hello everyone, you are always guests when you go out. It is fate to be together. Everyone should take care of it along the way. My name is Chen Daolin. I didn't ask for advice..."
Just as he said this, Chen Daolin's voice suddenly stopped, as if there was an invisible knife invisible, cutting off his voice!
He stood by the door, and before he could sit down, his legs began to tremble quietly, and his face turned pale in an instant...
There were six guests sitting in the carriage.
A burly man with a wide-body top was open and a lion's head tattooed on his exposed breasts. A beautiful woman in her thirties snuggled beside him.
A thin man with a frown look was sitting in the corner, his clothes were dirty. Aside him was a middle-aged man with a messy head like a chicken coop.
Relying on Chen Daolin's nearest seat, two women were sitting, one old and one young.
One of the young girls with a round face and freckles on their cheeks, and the other one was an old woman with wrinkles on their faces. The old woman also held a paper bag of boiled beans in her hand, and was slowly throwing them into her mouth, chewing and tasting them carefully. The turbid eyes were narrowed and quietly looking at Chen Daolin.
In an instant, Chen Daolin sweated coldly!
