Chapter 191 "Du Wei's Conspiracy"
Imperial Capital, late at night.
The weather had begun to heat up. Located in the central part of the Empire, July to September was the hottest season of the year.
Only at night, after the sun had set, would the wind blow a rare trace of coolness.
The entire Duke's Mansion was bustling with activity. Du Wei mobilized a lot of people from the shops to pack their luggage, because after dawn, they would set off for the Northwest.
The current Mard no longer looked like an old coachman. Wearing luxurious clothes, Mard looked completely like an old steward of a wealthy family. Although he occasionally revealed a Rollin Plains accent, but from his behavior, even a picky etiquette master would find it difficult to find fault with Mard.
Sandy followed Mard all day long, like a small tail. Du Wei gave a lot of preferential treatment to this clever little brat he brought back. Before leaving, he even gave him a sum of money to settle down.
Apart from Hussain and Nicole, who couldn't show their faces, most of Du Wei's direct subordinates were gathered in the temporary Duke's Mansion. After coming to this world for so many years and experiencing so many things recently, Du Wei could be considered to have a decent team.
Ruo Lin, Knight, and Zuckerberg would stay in the Imperial Capital and continue to be responsible for Du Wei's businesses in the Imperial Capital. This was Du Wei's source of income. Mr. George Bush, who had the same name as the President of the United States, would temporarily replace Ruo Lin to watch over the pirates. But with Zuckerberg's growing maturity, Ruo Lin would soon be able to return to the fleet. At that time, Mr. George Bush would return to the North and be responsible for communicating with the mercenary groups.
Thorskei, Seth, these two magicians were Du Wei's most important. Together, they would help Du Wei complete a large number of magic experiments … and see if they could create any value. As for Gege Wu … this mouse had recently been immersed in researching how to improve his transformation technique … Since that Old dragon could recover its dragon form, Gege Wu also wanted to recover its human form. However, the prerequisite was that he had to first break through the level of his Shapeshifting Technique, transform into a human, and then drink the Fountain of Youth.
QQ still exists as Du Wei's pet. As long as it doesn't speak in public, no one will pay attention to the bird pet raised by Duke Du Wei.
General Longbottom, Knight Robert, and Old Smoke are now considered the leaders of Du Wei's warriors. As for the group of special talents, they have also been incorporated into Du Wei's personal bodyguards. These days, in order to train these guys to ride horses, they have suffered a lot.
Of course, there was also Uncle Alpha. However, Alpha's usefulness could only be seen in the Northwest.
This is Du Wei's current team.
Plus a few servants and a group of slaves. The safety on the road will be different. After all, this group of people is comprised of the continent's top powerhouses and powerful magicians … … If there is any thief that dares to have any ideas on Du Wei, then the one to pray for is definitely not Du Wei himself.
At the same time, Prince Son also ordered 500 royal guards to escort them along the way.
The entire Duke's mansion was busy as large and small boxes were loaded onto the carriages. The servants were busy going back and forth while Mard was yelling with all his might. Little Sandy was also running around behind him.
Du Wei himself was standing on the windowsill upstairs, looking at the night … … From upstairs, he looked at the surrounding buildings.
The capital … … I will be leaving again.
In the Northwest, Du Wei has great confidence that he will be able to do many things that he couldn't do in the capital. In the Northwest, Du Wei believes he can do whatever he wants without any restrictions.
"My Lord."
Du Wei was looking at the capital's night scenery when Ruo Lin's soft call came from behind.
Du Wei turned around and saw Ruo Lin standing at the door with a hesitant look on her face.
"What's the matter, my female Knight?" Du Wei smiled.
"My Lord, there is something … … I don't know if I should report it to you, but I think it may be very important."
Du Wei raised his eyebrows: "Speak."
"There are two special guests among our slaves … … They seem to be a bit restless."
Ruo Lin is referring to the High Priest of the Nanyang United Kingdom, Ben Ka, and the one with Aragon's message written on the soles of his feet.
"Oh?" Du Wei frowned. These days, he has been thinking about how to deal with these two guys. The problem is that the message on the soles of Lufei's feet really makes Du Wei depressed every time he thinks about it. So until today, these two guys have been specially locked up by Du Wei. In addition to not being able to move freely, they can also eat and drink well.
"That Ben Ka, he said he wants to see you."
"See me?" Du Wei smiled: "Then let's see!"
•
The location of the meeting is Du Wei's study. When Ben Ka and Lufei were brought in, Du Wei found that Ben Ka's face is very dignified, but the two's complexion is still good. After all, Du Wei only locked them up and didn't abuse them. Lufei even gained a bit of weight.
"Oh, Mr. High Priest, I heard you wanted to see me?" Du Wei looked at Ben Ka with a smile.
"Yes, Your Excellency the Duke." Ben Ka suddenly took a few steps forward and knelt down. His posture is very strange, a bit similar to the "prostrating" posture Du Wei saw in his past life.
But he didn't stop this old man who tried to deceive him before. Du Wei gently raised his chin: "So, you have something to ask of me?"
"Your Excellency the Duke, I know you are about to go to the Northwest." Ben Ka clenched his teeth: "Do you intend to … …"
"I left two seats for you in the carriage." Du Wei bluntly replied: "You will go with me to the Northwest."
Ben Ka's face was pale, he didn't dare to look at this terrible youth. He only lowered his head and whispered: "Your Excellency, may I ask if we are of any value to you?"
"Oh, it seems you have a good suggestion?" Du Wei smiled.
"Yes." Ben Ka immediately said: "Your Excellency, in this place, I'm just an old man, and Lufei is just a thin child. We can't bring you any value. We can't work, you can only lock us up every day. For you, our value is far less than a young slave."
"Then what do you mean?" Du Wei looked at Ben Ka.
"I ask for a ransom." Ben Ka clenched his teeth: "Your Excellency, I don't want to go to the Northwest with you. You know, the tribes in the Southeast are waiting for me to go back. Our United Kingdom … …"
"Your United Kingdom is the enemy of the Empire." Du Wei coldly interrupted him: "You want to go back? And use this child with the blessing of the Father to become the King of the United Kingdom? Furthermore, they planned to use him to reunite the United Kingdom, which was already in a state of disunity. And then become the enemy of the Empire? " Du Wei smiled. He leaned down and stared at Ben Ka: "Do you think I will allow such a thing to happen? Don't forget, I'm the Duke of the Empire! "
"But … … the Empire has just abandoned your family. Your entire family was … …" Ben Ka's words made Du Wei somewhat surprised.
His face became gloomy to the extreme, then he looked at Ruo Lin who was standing at the door.
Ruo Lin's whole body shivered. Du Wei's gloomy eyes were filled with undisguised murderous intent: "Ruo Lin, you go investigate right now! Who the hell is it that dared to spread this' news' in front of our two distinguished guests! I remember my order was to lock them up and not let anyone come in contact with them! "
Ruo Lin was startled by the Duke's gloomy eyes. She quickly lowered her head and nervously said: "Your Excellency, I … …"
"Go investigate!!!" Du Wei suddenly roared. His face was abnormally frightening. Along with his anger, a red flame suddenly emerged from his body, causing Ruo Lin's heart to jump!
Du Wei at this moment displayed the strength of an excellent magician. These days of hard work in the Magic Association has greatly improved his strength. At this moment, in his anger, he deliberately cast a fire spell. Along with his anger, Du Wei's whole body was enveloped in flames. Ben Ka felt like he was in a furnace. The flames were less than half a meter away from his body. As long as Du Wei casually flicked his finger, Ben Ka would be swallowed up by the flames!
Ruo Lin quickly ran out.
"It seems … … You know a lot." Du Wei's smile was very cold, his eyes seemed to be dyed red by the flames.
Ben Ka's whole body was trembling, he didn't dare to move. Beside him, Fick was already scared to the point of tears.
After almost an hour, Du Wei didn't speak. Ben Ka also didn't dare to say anything, only trembling on the ground.
When Ruo Lin came back, she brought back the result Du Wei wanted.
"Your Excellency, it's … …"
"Who is it?" Du Wei's face was gloomy.
It's a servant in the shop. Everyone knows about the Rollin family's matter, so it's inevitable that some people like to talk about it behind their backs. And this servant is responsible for delivering food to Ben Ka. Ben Ka isn't stupid, he also knows what he needs to do. Asking for some information is undoubtedly good for him.
But the root of this matter is not the servant. In fact, under Ruo Lin's management, the people in the shop are very well-behaved. No one dares to talk about the Duke behind his back. The only exception ….. made Du Wei frown.
It's the quadruplets magic apprentices. Those four girls used to be Du Wei's people, but they didn't get Du Wei's favor … So the rumors about the Rollin family were first spread from their mouths.
"Okay," Du Wei didn't wait for Ruo Lin to finish and nodded: "You don't need to say anymore."
Then Du Wei quickly made a decision: "The servant who delivered the food … … and our four beautiful ladies, arrest them all! Then give each of them ten whips! When the punishment is done, it must be done at the same time. Let everyone see the consequences of not listening to orders! Tie them up together and whip them together! Ruo Lin, I need you to remember, I gave them to you to manage, so they are your people. If you don't manage them well, then I will be very disappointed in you! Do you understand? "
Ruo Lin's face was serious, she nodded, then turned and left.
Du Wei's ruthless heart made Ruo Lin somewhat surprised. Those four beautiful girls are just a few words …. Ruo Lin walked out of the room, her heart can't help but secretly sigh. This young Duke has gradually grown up. Compared to the first time they met, his majesty is getting heavier by the day.
Du Wei sat quietly on the chair for a while. When he looked up again, his face had already returned to its original calm state. Glancing at the trembling Ben Carmichael: "Now, let's continue our conversation, Mr. High Priest."
Ben Carson didn't dare to say anything.
Du Wei's eyes shrouded his body: "You said you want me to let you go back? You think I will betray the Empire? Because of what happened to my family, you think I will betray the Empire and let you go back to establish a powerful kingdom to oppose the Empire? "
Ben Carson's body trembled even more.
After a long time, Du Wei suddenly smiled. His voice carried a trace of strangeness. Then he walked around the desk and walked to Ben Carson's side. Gently placing his hand on Ben Carson's shoulder, he whispered in Ben Carson's ear:
"You guessed right."
… … What?
Ben Carson couldn't believe his ears! What did this little devil say?
Just now when he saw Du Wei's rage, Ben Carson thought he's dead for sure. Those who spoke nonsense will be whipped, he might even be executed! Executing a slave is the master's right!
He raised his head in astonishment and looked at Duwei who was right in front of him. The smile on Du Wei's face didn't fade, but his eyes carried a trace of strangeness. Then he gently waved his hand, causing a gust of wind to roll up and slowly close the door.
"Now, let's talk about the conditions. The issue of ransom. "
Ben Carmichael was stunned for a while before he recovered. Then he opened his mouth and stuttered out what he meant.
He hoped that Du Wei would let him go first and leave Lufei here. Then he would be willing to send a large amount of wealth in exchange for Lufei.
"You go first?" Du Wei frowned: "Do you think I will believe you?"
"This is the only way, Your Excellency." Ben Carson hurriedly explained: "If I only write a letter or send someone back, the United Kingdom won't believe me. Only if I go back myself can … … "
Du Wei nodded: "Very well, continue."
"After I go back, I can convince the other high priests and the king to pay the ransom. As for the amount … … "
Ben Carson clenched his teeth: "I think, with my influence, the price should be enough to satisfy you."
Du Wei gently tapped the table: "Be more specific."
"You can send a ship. When the ship comes back, it will bring back a whole ship of gold, spices, gems … … a whole ship!"
Du Wei didn't say anything.
Seeing that the Duke wasn't moved, Ben Carson bit his lips and said: "Then … … two ships!"
"Ben Carson." Du Wei sighed: "You know, if I let you go back, in a sense, it's treason. Do you understand? Do you think two ships' worth of wealth can buy off my treason? "
Ben Carson's voice trembled: "Then, what do you mean?"
"I have a fleet of ships." Du Wei smiled and said: "I will let the entire fleet go back with you. What you need to do is to fill the entire fleet to the brim! When the fleet returns with a full load, I will send the adorable Little Fick to Nanyang. "
Entire … … entire fleet … …
Ben Carson hesitated for a long time, but the United Kingdom needs Lufei, they need the only descendant of God Father.
In the end, he nodded, and his voice sounded as if it was squeezed out from his throat. "Alright! I accept! "
When Ben Carson and Lufei were taken out, Du Wei sighed in his heart: These Nanyang guys are really rich!
When only Du Wei was left in the room, a voice came from the side.
"Are you really going to do this?"
The one who spoke was Du Wei's pet, Mr. QQ.
As a pet bird, Mr. QQ's existence is no longer a secret. As long as it doesn't speak in front of others, no one will be curious about the Duke's pet.
Just now, QQ has been in the study, but those who saw it only thought of it as a strange looking bird.
"What did you say?"
"Are you really going to do this?" QQ's voice was full of worry: "Treason?"
"Do you think I will?" Du Wei smiled.
QQ thought for a moment: "I think you are extorting that poor old man. Once you get the ransom, you won't let him go. "
"No, this time you are wrong my Mr. Mythical Beast. Once I get the ransom, I will definitely let him go." Du Wei smiled strangely: "I will give the United Kingdom a 'King'."
Then he asked QQ: "I heard … … there is a type of undead magic that can control a person's soul. I just happen to have done some research on this recently."
QQ was frightened by Du Wei's words. Its small eyes looked at Du Wei for a while before sighing: "You really are a little devil."
"In your position, you don't have the qualifications to judge me like that." Du Wei glanced at QQ: "Don't forget, your former master's power also came from the devil."
"Then, will you really … punish those pitiful girls?" QQ shook its head: "Being so cruel to girls is too ungentlemanly … … Moreover, don't you think it's cruel?"
"Then what do you think I should do? Democracy? Oh, that bastard Aragon must have mentioned this term to you, right? Don't joke around, my Mr. QQ! " Du Wei's expression was cold: "Open the window and take a look. Look at those busy slaves outside, those servants … … This is an empire! As a superior, if you can't properly manage the people below and want to play with grace, equality, democracy … … then in the future, you won't even know how you died! You can say that I am cruel, you can also say that I am despotic … … But if you want to survive in this world, you have to be like this. "
Du Wei finished and concluded: "You probably didn't see how the families of the fallen nobles were sold as slaves after the coup, right? Those noble ladies who were still high and mighty a few days ago became slaves overnight. Some were even sold to brothels. Any man only needed to spend a few silver coins to vent his lust on them! This world is like this … … "
With that, Du Wei turned and walked out.
QQ was quiet in the study for a long time. Then it sighed and said to itself: "No wonder … … Master Aragon said that he could end everything … …"
