GOR Chapter 268 What The Hell
Ai Lu suddenly looked up at Du Wei, face solemn, said: "I … … I have a matter. What is your background? Just now you actually recited the spell of the great snow mountain witchcraft … … these things, outsiders absolutely can not fake it! How did you learn these things? "
Du Wei laughed: "My things, you don't know, there are many! From now on you obediently help me do things. Humph … … That Bai He Chou can be your teacher, teach you witchcraft, can't I teach you witchcraft? You are the great snow mountain witchcraft, is that so great? If you want to learn, I will slowly teach you everything in the future. "
But in his heart he thought: That book of witchcraft was left behind by Gu Lanxiu, although Bai He Chou is powerful, but he is also Gu Lanxiu's disciple, compared to Bai He Chou, Gu Lanxiu must also know. It's just that the aptitude varies from person to person. Bai He Chou is the student who surpassed the master, the disciple defeated the teacher. But the witchcraft method should be the same.
Seeing Ai Lu's shocked face, Du Wei did not say anything, smiled and dipped the water in the bucket in the cell, and casually drew a symbol on the table. It is the great snow mountain witchcraft, a symbol of the witchcraft array.
Ai Lu looked at it, face even more surprised.
Du Wei laughed, thought: This girl's brain is too simple, I'm afraid she and my lovely little Vivian can compete. Leaving her here alone, I'm afraid she can't take it anymore, and committed suicide. Well, whether she dies or not, it doesn't have much to do with me, but … … if such a delicate and beautiful girl dies, my heart will always feel guilty.
Thinking of this, he went out of the door, called in his personal bodyguard, ordered him to bring back the several female "prey" that he rescued from Rugaard. In his mind, he thought of the beautiful girl called "Hanyue", and casually called her name.
Not a moment later, Hanyue and the other two girls were brought over.
After a few days of recuperation, the haggardness on the faces of these beautiful girls had long faded away. After dressing up neatly, the charm of a young girl was revealed without a doubt. And that girl called Hanyue, is like a crane standing out of a flock of chickens, absolutely vulgar appearance and temperament, still protruding.
Since Ai Lu has helped his own such a big favor, Du Wei will not let her continue to live in the cell, called people in the castle floor inside clean up a room, let Ai Lu live in, and to Hanyue several girls said: "You later training as usual, this person, also give you to take care of. This girl's brain is a little stupid. I'm just afraid that she'll take things too hard and commit suicide. You guys keep an eye on her. If she dies … you guys don't need to live anymore. Understood? "
Several girls trembling with fear agreed, Du Wei looked at a face of sad Ai Lu, sighed, walked over, back to Hanyue and others, pinched Ai Lu's chin, stared at her eyes, and displayed a despicable shameless charming eye, mouth whispered: "If you listen to me, you're not allowed to die, understand?"
After seeing the clarity in Ai Lu's eyes gradually lost, the mouth like a raving answer. Du Wei was relieved, and then a person left.
The remaining few girls in the room are still a face of fear. But Hanyue, the most daring, carefully walked to Ai Lu's side, slowly squatted down, softly said: "You … how are you?"
Looking up in a daze, Ai Lu saw a girl who was even more beautiful than herself. At first, she was startled, but then she became worried and frowned again: "You … who are you … you don't have to worry about me. Just leave me alone. "
Hanyue pondered for a moment, but slowly sat in Ai Lu's side, reached for Ai Lu, softly said: "Well, I know … you must be afraid of Duke Daren, right? In fact, you don't have to be afraid, Duke Daren although it looks terrible, in fact, we are very good. "
Seeing Ai Lu did not speak, Hanyue's voice was soft, whispered: "In fact … I heard, this Duke Daren is very kind, in the Northwest, everyone is praising him. But, in the future, whatever he wants, what he orders, we will do, Duke Daren will never scold you, right? "
Ai Lu confused, whispered to himself: "Well … what he said, I will do … is that right?"
•
Night to Du Wei such a disturbance, later in the negotiations, this Hamuye to Du Wei's attitude is very good, the language is also very cautious, in accordance with etiquette. And after Du Wei this side of the conditions, Hamuye although some will argue, but the tone is soft a lot. And often as long as Du Wei shows a little bit of toughness, Hamuye has to loosen the mouth.
In this way, the weak and the strong, the negotiations also quickly smooth. In addition to talking about the horses cattle sheep. For the letter of credence how to write, Hamuye also tried to compromise, and finally even the "peace" letter was signed.
Du Wei was greatly relieved, but also some fanciful thoughts: knew to pretend to be a wizard, there are so many benefits, I might as well have opened the mouth of the lion at the beginning, and asked for more horses. But this idea is also a turn away, he also knows in his heart, if he does too much, the other side will still be suspicious.
Fortunately, there is no telephone in this world, and the negotiators outside can't always keep in touch with the leaders behind the scenes. If he pretends to be a wizard of the snowy mountain, unless the other side personally goes to the snowy mountain to verify, there is no way to find out.
On the last day of the negotiations, the two sides finally signed the contract, the prairie people took the initiative to ask for peace, and also agreed to compensate the Roland Empire with horses, cattle, sheep, and some miscellaneous things. In addition, the two sides also signed a friendly agreement, promising not to invade each other's borders, and friends forever and so on.
Of course, Du Wei directly ignored the last sentence. Friendly relations and non-aggression were all bullshit. Once both sides had recharged their strength and decided to fight, any peace treaty would be nothing more than a piece of paper.
Du Wei and Count Biliaibuer respectively signed the letter of credence. Originally, Biliaibuer was unwilling to sign, he argued that he was only assisting Du Wei. But after seeing that the negotiations went smoothly and the results were good, Biliaibuer was no longer afraid of anything and agreed to sign. At the same time, he also felt a bit strange in his heart. Why did this Hamuye seem to be so afraid of Du Wei in the past few days? The means of our little Duke is truly amazing.
This letter of credence can't take effect immediately after both sides signed it. They still need to send someone to the capital to show it to Prince Son and wait for the Regent to sign it. Before that, this Hamuye will have to stay with Du Wei for a few more days.
However, Hamuye seems to be really afraid of the tents Du Wei gave him. Moreover, when Elu and Du Wei pretended to be wizards, they deliberately warned him not to interfere with the search for pets in the snowy mountain and not to anger the Duke of the Tulip Family. Hamuye guessed that if he continued to stay in the Roland Empire, it would take him at least 10 days to go back and forth. Maybe even longer. And this Duke of the Tulip Family has a strange temperament. If he accidentally offends him, it would be bad for the wizards in the snowy mountain. Therefore, he took the initiative to ask Count Biliaibuer to go to the capital with him. Count Biliaibuer didn't think much about it and agreed.
After sending the two away, Du Wei also wrote a letter for Biliaibuer to deliver to Prince Son. The letter explained the disbandment of the 20,000 cavalrymen in the prairie. After the two left, the negotiations came to an end and Du Wei finally had some free time.
Then there was a report from one of his subordinates that they received news that the soldiers stationed in the Northwest Corridor have been evacuated one after another. After hearing this, Du Wei fell into deep thought.
To be honest, he still hasn't figured out how to effectively control this corridor. In the past, the Northwestern Army and the prairie soldiers were secretly communicating with each other. That sentry post was nothing more than a whore's archway and a deaf man's ear. Now that the Northwest Corridor is back, the most important thing is how to effectively control it and prevent the prairie soldiers from sneaking in.
After thinking about it for a while, Du Wei still couldn't come up with a good idea. Building a city in that place is impossible. Without a water source, no matter how many people go, the cost would be too much to bear.
Originally, Du Wei also thought about digging underground water. But this world is different from his previous one. The limit of digging underground water in this world is only an ordinary well. Just like in Du Wei's previous world, using technology, it's possible to dig hundreds of meters deep into the ground. But in this world, it's absolutely impossible.
Du Wei also made up his mind. Otherwise, he might as well make a huge amount of gunpowder and blow up both sides of the Northwest Corridor. Then he would seal the entire Northwest Corridor!
But this idea was immediately rejected by him. The Northwest Corridor is the only way to the prairie. It's also the only trade route for the entire Roland Empire's merchant groups and noble families to do business with the prairie people. If he dared to do something like cutting off other people's source of income, he's afraid that all merchant groups and noble families would hate him to death. Moreover, his territory is located at the border, the agriculture is backward, and the land is barren. The biggest source of income is the merchant tax. If the trade route is cut off, there will be no border trade in the future. How many years can he live on? Cutting off his own source of income is not something Du Wei is willing to do.
Then … … How about getting a water pipe to the Northwest Corridor? As this idea flashed through his mind, Du Wei laughed to himself.
Easier said than done! Loulan Lake is the biggest water source, but it's also quite far from the Northwest Corridor! Get a pipe? This world's metallurgy and metal forging technology is not at this level.
How can I guard the Northwest Corridor well … …
That hateful Rugaard, he must be waiting to see me make a fool of myself.
Without a good strategy for the time being, Du Wei simply dispatched a few hundred people to the Northwest Corridor and stationed them in the Northwest Army's outposts. For the time being, he will follow the previous pattern. It's impossible for a few hundred people to guard such a wide corridor. At best, it can barely serve as an early warning. But he only ordered them to be on guard and light the beacon if something happens. Other than this, Du Wei doesn't have any good ideas for the time being.
A month quickly passed by. News came from the capital that the Regent has signed a letter of credence for Hamuye to bring back to the prairie. With this, the military conflict between the two sides can be considered to have come to an end. When Du Wei heard this news, he breathed a sigh of relief: Prince Son finally agreed to the matter of disbanding the 20,000 cavalries in the prairie.
That Hamuye was quite interesting. After receiving the letter of credence, he deliberately took a detour on his way back to the grassland instead of passing by Loulan City. Not only that, he didn't even bother to meet up with Du Wei. Du Wei understood what Hamuye was afraid of, but he didn't point it out. Some of his subordinates were annoyed by the rudeness of the prairie messenger, but Du Wei just smiled and let it go.
Count Biliaibuer once again came to the Northwest Corridor with a sealed letter. When Du Wei held it in his hand, he could feel a trace of magic on it. At night, Du Wei opened the letter and saw that it was written by Prince Son himself.
The beginning of the letter was full of praise for Du Wei, saying that he did a great job this time. Not only did he save the face of the empire, but he also received practical benefits. The letter also mentioned how Du Wei led the family's private army against the prairie invaders in Anglia City. At the same time, the letter also vaguely expressed that although the nominal victory was taken away by the Northwest Army, the Regent will not forget Du Wei's contribution. The compensation demanded from the prairie invaders was split equally between the empire and Du Wei. Nominally, it was a reward for Du Wei's meritorious negotiation, but in reality, it was a reward for his military service and compensation for his losses.
Du Wei saw this and felt satisfied: It seems this Prince Son is really good at doing things!
Seeing this, Du Wei's mood improved greatly. However, after reading the letter, Du Wei frowned.
Regarding the disbandment of the prairie's cavalry, Prince Son said that the central government has long had this intention. Now that the military has reached a consensus, they are willing to withdraw the troops, but they do not agree to give these 20,000 soldiers to Du Wei. Although Du Wei did follow Mrs. Lister's suggestion and nominally allowed this army to be stationed in his territory under the name of the imperial army, the big shots in the capital still couldn't accept such a demotion from an official army to a private one. Prince Son, who just took the throne, also said that he didn't want to be too stiff with the military. In the end, after some bargaining, he agreed to give Du Wei two cavalry divisions … … In other words … …
6,000 soldiers?
Du Wei saw this and couldn't help but be so angry that his nose became crooked.
How is this the intention of the big shots in the military? It's clearly the little Regent refusing to give me the military power! I'm currently sandwiched between the prairie invaders and the Northwest Army. If I can have a complete cavalry division with 20,000 soldiers, it would at least be a deterrent to the enemy.
But if it's only a few thousand soldiers … … Who cares?
Fortunately, Prince Son probably understood that Du Wei would most likely be dissatisfied with this arrangement, so he also made a compensation statement: These 6,000 soldiers will not be divided according to the size of the army, but instead 20,000 soldiers. Du Wei can pick the full 6,000 soldiers!
After the selection, the remaining soldiers will be pulled back to the capital by Prince Son to fill up the ranks of the imperial guards.
Du Wei was a little dissatisfied at first, but then he felt relieved: These 20,000 soldiers are also very important to the capital. It's just that they were stationed in the prairie before, so it's too expensive to raise them. Once they are withdrawn … … These 20,000 soldiers are hard to come by! After all, they are the cavalry of the prairie!
Prince Son isn't a fool, how can he easily give me such a strong army? My previous thoughts are indeed a little bit underestimating this Regent.
"Six thousand it is." Du Wei sighed as he secretly calculated in his mind. I already have 3,000 cavalrymen in my hands. With the addition of these 6,000 soldiers, when the Lister Family moves to the Northwest, and the addition of the 2,000 White Feather Knight Regiment, that's a total of more than 10,000 soldiers. If I recruit some more, I can barely make up a full division of 20,000 soldiers. It's just that their combat strength won't be comparable to a complete cavalry division.
After reading the secret letter, Du Wei then placed it on a candle and burned it.
After that, he had someone invite Count Biliaibuer over for a chat.
"When I left, the military had already sent out the transfer order. The cavalry division in the prairie will be mobilized in a few days. When the time comes, the military order is for the 20,000 soldiers to come to Loulan City first. As for the specifics, His Highness has already informed the Duke, so I won't go into detail. " Count Biliaibuer was dressed in a luxurious robe, looking a lot better than the last time he came for the negotiation. Obviously, the burden of the negotiation is gone, making him a lot more relaxed.
Du Wei nodded: "What's the situation in the capital right now?"
"It's very interesting to talk about it." Villa smiled faintly: "The pro-war and pro-peace factions have gradually stopped arguing. After all, once the letter of credence is signed, even if there is a conclusion, there is nothing to argue about. It's just that the Temple seems to be a little unstable recently. I heard some rumors in the streets ….. It seems that some of the Duke's actions in the Northwest are quite critical. "
"Oh?" Du Wei frowned.
Up until now, I don't think I've offended the Shrines, right?
Biliaibuer chuckled: "After the last battle of Anglia City, did you not order the captives of the prairie to be tied to a pole and paraded around the city? Later on, the captives all died without a single survivor. It's because of this that the Shrines are very disapproving of your actions. Especially the Saintess ….. Hehe, she criticized your cruelty in public, saying that your actions are not in line with the mercy of the Goddess of Light ….. Hehe. "
Du Wei nodded: "Saintess ….. Well, what about the Shrines?"
"The Shrines, on the other hand, have vaguely supported the Saintess' words, but they haven't made a public statement. But at this time, keeping silent is a tacit agreement with the Saintess' words. "
Biliaibuer hesitated for a moment: "Duke, I have a suggestion, I don't know ….."
"Please say it, Uncle Biliaibuer." Du Wei laughed: "Did you forget? Don't call me Duke in private. "
"Yes." Count Biliaibuer nodded: "I heard that the Shrines originally wanted to set up a religious institute in your capital. But it seems that you didn't support it ….. I even heard that you were secretly obstructing them ….. "
Du Wei immediately cried out: "How could that be!! The Shrines did send someone. But although my new city has just been built, it is becoming more prosperous day by day, and the land is expensive. What does it have to do with me if the Shrines don't want to buy it? "
Biliaibuer smiled awkwardly and looked at Du Wei: "Throughout the empire ….. there are only a few who dare to let the Shrines use their own money to buy land to set up a religious institute. Duke, you can be considered the first. "
According to convention, how could the local officials or nobles dare to let the Shrines use their own money to buy land? When the Shrines hear that they want to set up a religious institute, they would naturally give away the best land for free.
Du Wei lightly said: "My city is newly built, and I am not a Shrines believer. I will not do such a thing. Could it be that because of this, the Shrines hate me? Besides … … in the empire, I am not the only one who doesn't believe in the religion. "
Biliaibuer smiled: "This is only one of the reasons. The reason why the Holy Maiden is making things difficult for you is most likely because of the late Crown Prince. But there is no need to worry about this matter. Attacking you is attacking the Regent. Since it involves the late Crown Prince, the Regent will definitely protect you. This is a political stance that will never be shaken. "
Du Wei nodded with a smile: "However, the Regent is already very lenient towards the Holy Maiden. But this woman is the one who keeps provoking ….. Alas, I think this Holy Maiden's brain may not be that good. "
Biliaibuer laughed and then lowered his voice: "This, I heard from His Highness ….. He said: If you want to hit a mouse, the most frightening thing is for the mouse to hide in a hole. As long as the mouse can reveal its tail, it will be easy to deal with. The Shrines and us have always been on the same page. Although they supported Prince Son on the day of the coup, Prince Son also paid a heavy price behind the scenes! Therefore, we don't need to accept the Shrines' favor. In the future, we will still fight. However, the Shrines have always been cautious and steady in their actions. It won't be easy to make a move ….. Let this stupid woman stay, even if we catch the tail of the mouse! Even if the Shrines are cautious, as long as this woman keeps making trouble, there will always be some kind of trouble. When that time comes, we will have an excuse to blame the Shrines! But the Shrines want to show mercy and protect this Holy Maiden ….. humph humph ….. "
These words can be considered as a confession, causing Du Wei's heart to move ….. This old fox has always been wise to protect himself, so why is he being so honest with me today? He actually dared to call the Holy Maiden a "stupid woman" in front of me. When mentioning the Shrines, he also showed no respect. In other words, he is treating Du Wei as one of his closest friends.
Du Wei's heart was puzzled, so he looked at Count Biliaibuer. Count Biliaibuer smiled for a while, then coughed and said: "Actually ….. In addition to delivering a letter to Your Highness Regent, there is another task that Your Highness has entrusted me with. It's just that this is a private matter, and it's not good for me to come to you with great fanfare, so I can only make a trip. "
"Oh?" Du Wei's heart moved.
The smile on Count Biliaibuer's face became even more amiable: "Du Wei, you are already 15 years old. According to the customs of the Roland people, you are already an adult. In the noble circle, all men who have reached 15 years of age will immediately get married. Even if they don't get married immediately, they will at least have a set engagement. But now, you are so popular that I don't know how many noble families in the capital have their eyes on you. If it wasn't for the cold weather in the Northwest, some people would have already sent their daughters here! Hahaha … … To be frank, it's a pity that I don't have a daughter, otherwise I would have proposed marriage to you. "
Du Wei chuckled, faintly feeling a trace of unease.
"The Regent seems to be very good to you. I don't think there has ever been such a ruler in the history of the Roland Empire. He sent me to ask you something ….. Hmm, His Highness Chen has a 15 year old sister. She is the daughter of His Majesty Augustine the 6th. Among all the princes and princesses, she has the best relationship with Prince Son. This princess is also very famous in the capital. She's so beautiful that some people even compare her to Miss Angel of the Lister House. Although I've never seen Miss Angel, I've seen this princess before. She really is a beauty capable of causing the downfall of a city. Plus, she's also a daughter of the royal family. Whether it's her bearing or bearing, she's the best of the best …. So, His Highness Chen sent me to the northwest for another matter, your marriage! "
Du Wei couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, but he still put on a smile: "Hmm … … It looks like Uncle Biliaibuer is here to propose marriage."
"It's not a formal proposal." Biliaibuer smiled: "His Highness Chen told me face to face. For this kind of thing, it's best if both sides are willing. Moreover, although everyone in the empire wants to marry into the royal family, His Highness Chen said that Du Wei is definitely not that kind of person. So, I'm only here to see what you think. However, His Highness' intention is that since things have settled down with the prairie people, there won't be any big issues in the short term. Seeing that the end of the year is approaching, His Highness asked you to make a trip back to the capital. First of all, if you, the most popular Grand Duke in the empire, don't participate in the banquet, I'm afraid it will lose a lot of luster. Last year when you just arrived in the Northwest, your footing was still unstable, so His Highness Chen didn't dare to summon you. This year's situation is different. You've done a great job in the Northwest, so it's time for you to return to the capital. Second of all ….. Hehe, Her Highness will naturally attend the banquet. If I can facilitate the two of you, then I, Biliaibuer, will have done a great service. "
Du Wei was dumbfounded by what he heard … … What is this? A blind date?
But … … This Prince Son didn't directly and violently grant me a marriage. Instead, he asked me to go on a blind date.
It's just … … I don't even want to marry a woman from the Lister Family … … Does that mean I'm willing to marry a royal princess? If I have such a chess piece sent by Prince Son to sleep beside me every day … … Humph, how can I agree to such a thing!
"Well, that's it for this matter. At the end of the year, you must return to the capital no matter what. His Highness Chen's order will be sent through official channels. " Count Biliaibuer chuckled: "This princess is beautiful and charming. She's the dream lover of countless men in the capital. Du Wei, you're in for a treat this time."
Pausing for a moment, Biliaibuer didn't wait for Du Wei to speak. Instead, Biliaibuer's next words left Du Wei speechless!
"The Prince Regent said that if … … Everything goes as he wishes and you and his sister get married, then you, Du Wei, will be a collateral member of the royal family! Although before … … Hmm, before … … The Rowling family was demoted and it's impossible to restore the family name, but if you become a collateral member of the royal family, then your father and brother will naturally be related to the royal family as well. In this way, according to the laws of the Roland Empire, the royal family will have immunity. Although the previous decree states that Raymond and your brother Gabri can't be employed for life, but if you become a member of the royal family … … Then it's different! With the title of a collateral member of the royal family, your brother Gabri will no longer be a hindrance! "
As soon as these words were said, Du Wei's eyebrows went straight up!
Good Prince Son! Good Prince Regent! Good calculation!
Hehe, you really have grasped Du Wei's biggest weakness!
Just when Du Wei was in a difficult position, a burst of laughter suddenly came from outside! That voice resounded throughout the entire castle of the Duke's Mansion. The voice didn't disperse, and there was a hint of pride in it.
"Hahahahaha … …"
This voice was so loud that even through the windows, it was harsh to the ears.
Hearing this, Du Wei's expression changed.
That old man wearing a green hat … … Finally came out from the cellar?!
Sigh, this teacher, if you want to come out, then just come out. There's no need to laugh like that.
Glancing at Biliaibuer, Du Wei smiled: "Oh, don't worry, this is one of my seniors, a magician. His temperament is a bit strange, that's all. Uncle Biliaibuer, please take a seat. I'll be back soon. "
With that, Du Wei said his goodbyes and left the room. But just as he reached the stairs, he saw his bodyguard, Elder Yan, rushing up with a panicked face.
"My Lord! My Lord! “
"What's the matter?"
Sweating profusely, Elder Yan cried out: "This … … That Old Magician living in the cellar came out."
Du Wei pursed his lips: "I know … … The old man laughed so loudly, I'm not deaf."
"No … … No!" Elder Yan bitterly smiled: "It's not good! Just now, this Old Magician came out and unfortunately ran into Madame Lister! As a result, the Marquise only took one look at this Old Magician and for some reason, she screamed on the spot and fainted! The several White Feather Knight around the Marquise only thought that the Marquise had suffered some kind of injury and have already surrounded the Old Magician. I'm afraid they've already started fighting! "
Du Wei's shock is no small matter!
The Green Hat and the Lister Family are fighting?!
What … … Hell!
