Chapter 299 “Friends or foe?”

The party finally came to an end before the break of dawn Each with their own carriage, Biliabuer didn't uests, clai this was Taklanshan's turn to host and he will do the next one After some more pleasantries, the crowd then dispersed for their own homes

After a long night of discussion, Du Wei himself also felt a little tired and took the freed-up space to rest inside his traveling carriage Though on the surface he gave a lot of benefits away, but Taklanshan and Biliabuer aren't fools, they are bound to return the favor in the future Noabsence froood That's where those two come into play Based on their relationshi+p, there will be times when they will speak up in his stead while he's absent

As for money… essentially Du Wei's not a businessman that only kno to chase after profit He's very rich already, earning a little less doesn'tto him now

Though the i the early ates, but who's Du Wei? He's soe docuent hio as he pleases

Aside from the haziness of the pitch-black darkness before dawn and the occasional sta soldiers in the distance, there really aren't anything else going on this early in the day Forget about pedestrians, not even the usual hoot-hoot sound of owls or cawking calls of winter birds in the night could be heard

Du Wei was still resting in his carriage when it happened Abruptly co to a full halt, Du Wei's eyes were jolted awake by his coach our path up ahead”

Furrowing his brow, Du Wei wondered who could it be that's blocking his path in the ht Can it be an assassin?

Standing further ahead up in the street was a thin yet tall shadow draped in the typical gray servant's wardrobe attire Oddly enough though, aside frouy's head, none of Du Wei's men could make out the person's appearance To everyone else, this creepy ht only looked like a blur as if so off his facial features

Not backing down, the two of the escorting Tulip guards had already stepped forward, their hands pressed against the sword hilt ”Who dare block the road, hurry and er

Despite the de and continues to stay put Then before the guards knew it, the two furthest in front suddenly felt an indescribable chill running through their spines as if they were pinned down by a pair of piercing cold eyes Even their horses were ht

Souards have by now noticed the proble, they moved forith their swords drawn

It was at this ti sound: ”Duke Tulip, will you come out and have a meet with me?”

The head of the guards shouted back instead: ”Who are you, do you think the Duke is someone you can meet so easily!”

At that, the head guard signaled his co formation

Just then, Du Wei had opened the carriage door and walked hiuards to ”stop”, he then stepped forward a few steps to find Lufei shi+vering in cold fright when he shot the kid a glance Frowning, Du Wei calls out to the distant man: “Who are you, and why do you want to see me?”

Du Wei was also a little wary Although his location reician with acute senses higher than the average person, how can he not see through the darkness? Yet, the shadow hovering over the mysterious man remains a blur to even hiht's darkness, Du Wei can only see a muddy shadow It's clear to him now, this man either used a spell or some sort of special means to hide his identity

Upon seeing Du Wei coer sounded so ghostly and became a little warmer ”Duke Tulip, it's not I ishes to see you, it's my master”

Du Wei tightly furrowed his forehead: “Oh, and who is your master?”

The man seems to chuckle at his question, but in the next ure began to bend and warp Like a disan to show himself

A thin face with a sharp chin, just like a rodent If an ordinary person had a face like that, there's no doubt others would find that face to be shrewd and wretched looking However, this wasn't the case here For this person, the only feeling Du Wei got was a striking urge to show his respect at the aura co his way

The person’s eyes were very bright and alive when he looked at Du Wei Curling his ray then raises his left hand fro Du Wei knew, lines of frosted frozen white were drawn fro there like countless subtle ice particles…

Seeing this scene, Du Wei knew right aho this ” a smile: ”I see, I knoho yourme, why do you need to stopyourthe day at my residence”

The person seeain but with a stain of mockery: “Your lordshi+p is a busy person, and master said you are unlikely to meet him You see, you've returned for two days already and yet you never even sent afavor What a disappointment”

Against a man like that, a tone of that nature, how can Du Wei's ry?

Even so, Du Wei remains very polite: ”Hmm, you are correct, I've been rude I'll follow you and see your ht away”

Despite his subordinate's strong opposition, Du Wei orders his people to return to the Duke's residence and walked towards theme to him”

Making a grunting s the way towards the other end of the street

As Du Wei followed frouards also did the same from a far distance but was quickly dismissed by his harsh order: ”No one is to follow!”

As dawn slowly drew overhead, two pacing figures weretheir way across the lifeless streets of the imperial city One in front, one in back, their distance remains approximately ten meters apart Du Wei tried several tiap, but it's almost like the person in front of hiardless, whether he go fast or slow, it's always like this

Du Wei was certain the guy had a special ability Based on that fast walking posture, it's like theon air, likely so it with the ice move he used earlier, Du Wei was even more certain of his speculation
