"Left, left, slow! Fool, you are so tied to the ground, the carriage has not gone a hundred miles above the ground and the things fall apart!"

Made's diligently commanding the servants to carry the luggage, piling up the boxes on the wagon one by one.

The gate of the Earl's Palace, the original Lorin family, was busy, and six wagons that were sturdily loaded with goods were piled up with luggage.

After the coup d'état, the Rollin family has completely collapsed, Count Raymond failed to participate in the coup, and most of the people in the family surnamed Luo Lindi lost their positions as high-ranking officials after the coup, and some were even convicted and imprisoned.

However, because of the existence of Du Weidi, none of the people surnamed Luo Lindi were executed.

The territory was reclaimed, the private army was dismissed, and in just three days, the Earl's Court would be gone.

Frustrated, Count Raymond has sold this count's palace and decided to return to his hometown in the Lorraine Plain with his wife and son.

After many years of career in the sea, it is impossible for Count Raymond to be without political enemies, and it is impossible to prevent things from falling into the well.

Most of the original servants and guards in the palace have been dismissed, and they have lost their titles, Count Raymond, so there is no need to keep so many servants and retinues.

Now there are only ten loyal servants left at home, and there are also sixty Jīng Ruidi Luolin family guards.

Since Du Wei exchanged the back cover for his father's life at the regent, the coup d'état has ended, and most of the other heads of state have fallen to the ground.

Looking at the yard full of messes, and the broken bottles and cans, the servants and guards who were busy coming and going, Count Raymond just had a calm face, and the beautiful Countess hugged Du Wei and cried for a long time, and then comforted Du Wei with a smile, and finally got into the carriage.

And Gabri ...... Du Wei couldn't help but sigh a little when he thought of this younger brother.

It seems that my brother has a strange attitude towards himself.

Because just last night, the young Gabri found Du Wei and asked Du Wei bluntly: "Can I stay with you in dìdū?"

Looking at Gabry with a childish face, Du Wei sighed: "...... No, you can't."

"Why?" Gabry clenched his fists, his expression and tone of voice were excited: "I am from the Rollin family, I want to stay here, I want to make a career here, and restore the glory of the family land in the future! I don't want to go back to the country, there is no hope of returning there......"

Du Wei patted his brother: "Wait for two years, after two years, I will take you out of the land. Now is not the time."

When Gabri heard this, his face was deeply disappointed, he gave his brother a complicated look, and then turned around and left silently.

When it was time to leave this morning, Gabry got into the carriage early and didn't even say a word to Du Wei.

Childlike anger - Du Wei smiled bitterly.

This is where Du Wei lived for ten years, where he used to grow up, and in the little building in the backyard, studying magic, and studying astrology.

Behind him, Count Raymond patted him gently, Du Wei turned around, Count Raymond was dressed in a white robe, spotlessly clean, and his face was also a little emotional.

"Ready......" Du Wei looked at his father and smiled bitterly.

"It's ready." Count Raymond casually pointed to the corner of the wall and threw two broken boxes there: "Sit down and talk to me for a while, we haven't had a proper conversation since I was sent home."

Du Wei nodded, and the father and son, a former earl and a current duke, sat down on two broken boxes in the corner of the courtyard.

"You still haven't listened to me." Count Raymond said, "You have never heard me before, as far as you remember, and even this time, I told you not to try to save my life, but you did it anyway."

Du Wei looked at his father's eyes: "First, you are my father, although objectively speaking, the relationship between us has never been very good, but you are my father, and you have raised me for more than ten years...... If you die, your mother and brother will be very sad. As for the third ...... I'm me, and I can't be the pure politician you ask me to be."

Count Raymond nodded, "Then I should thank you, at least I can come back here and live with your mother and your brother."

Father and son fell silent again, as if they had always had little in common together, including when Count Raymond was in the prison of the Ombudsman, and when Dewey went to visit him, the two only talked about the coup, the situation, the family, and so on.

Finally, it was Count Raymond who broke the silence: "I heard that the back cover of the land you want is the province of Dessa."

"It's the ground." Du Wei smiled bitterly: "I can't think of a better place than where."

"Well, you must know the situation in that place." Count Raymond sighed: "I am very familiar with that place, more than twenty years ago, in the war of the expedition to the Northwest Lands, the province of Desa was used as a strategic base for the rear of the expeditionary force...... Very ......"

"What do you want to say? barren, barren, or dilapidated?" said Du Wei with a wry smile.

"To be precise, it's barbaric, and at the same time it's very dilapidated." Count Raymond suddenly made a rare joke: "Actually, back then, we were even going to lure the alien army out of the desert, and it was best to lead it to the province of Desa to start a war.

"I know all of this." Du Wei smiled rarely: "I have turned over a lot of information and maps, the land of Dessar Province is barren, and there are no minerals, the only commendable place is that it is geographically located, just by the northwest corridor of the Kilimaro Mountains.

Count Raymond nodded, he was relieved, this son still knows his territory very well.

"Then, I want to remind you that the land is ......" Count Raymond took a deep breath: "With my many years of experience in the military, according to my estimates, after the war more than twenty years ago, the vitality of the alien races in the northwest should have gradually recovered over the years.......

Du Wei frowned.

How could he not know what his father said? It's just that he had no choice but to choose the worst territory in exchange for his father's life.

Originally, Du Wei still wanted to choose the Frozen Forest! But the Frozen Forest still has a lot of benefits, at least there are plenty of products!

What is there in the province of Dessa? A large area of desertified land! Saline land! That place, where it is said that the grain production is frighteningly low, and the best plants grow on the land there, even cacti!

The only land that is barely good is the Kilimaro Mountains in the northwest, but the Kilimaro Mountains are not rich in minerals, the only land is mostly stones and trees.

There are a lot of caravans coming and going in that place, but the problem is that there are also many horse thieves in the desert!

"Now that you know all of this, I have saved a lot of effort to explain it to you." Count Raymond's face was solemn, and he said slowly: "My advice to you is: Armament! According to my point of view, within ten years, there will definitely be a big war in the northwest. Even your own life was saved by you, but after all, I still had a lot of old subordinates and colleagues back then, and this kind of thing is still useful."

After speaking, Count Raymond took out a thin booklet from his arms, handed it to Du Weidi, and sighed: "This is the situation of a few of my former colleagues in the Northwest Sand Fox Legion, the northwest has always been unruly, the local faction is very strong, and we, the people of the zhōngyāng military department, are very excluded there. In addition, there are several local garrison generals who also received some benefits from me back then.

Du Wei accepted the booklet and looked at his father gratefully.

"And I want to remind you!" Count Raymond said in a deep voice: "That place in the northwest is completely different from here! That place is full of people, and those guys from the Northwest Army are all cultivated as local warlords, and they dare to draw swords and cut people at every turn! Those guys are some hooligan leaders who don't even buy it from the military department. You remember my words, although you are now a duke, but if you go to the northwest, Don't put any dukes in front of those old warlords in the Northwest Army, although most of them have titles far lower than yours, but ...... In the final analysis, in fact, there are many people who are half-soldiers and half-bandits! If they don't dare to deal with you in the open, they will bite you hard in the dark." Speaking of this, Count Raymond looked at Du Weidi's eyes: "Do you know? That place has not been sealed out before! At least I know that in the past few decades, I have given that place to two counts, and those two counts are not weak, but after going to the northwest...... Humph......"

Du Wei was attentive: "How is it?"

"The first person is a nobleman who made a fortune by relying on the business strength of his family, and after finally getting that piece of land, he put a noble shelf in front of those tyrants of the Northwest Army, and as a result, he was killed by the Northwest Army in less than half a year. It was a few months of military salaries, which was a small punishment, and the matter was over." After a pause, Count Raymond continued: "The second person, even if he has a bit of background, that guy is also an earl, his family background is still from the emperor's land, and his distant uncle is also the deputy commander of the Southern Army. As a result, he was almost killed, but this time the Northwest Army did not dare to blatantly kill people. Secretly instructed the horse thieves to rob him of several batches of family goods, although his private army was also brought from the south, but in the northwest there could only barely protect themselves, and something happened. Those bastards of the Northwest Army did not send a single soldier, so they just sat and waited for him to come to the door to beg, and took the opportunity to knock him a lot. That guy worked hard for two years, knowing that he couldn't go on, and finally asked to withdraw the fief and returned to the south."

Du Wei exhaled.

After all, he only looked at the things from the map and the data. Where did the old father, an old man in the military, understand so deeply? From this point of view, those guys in the Northwest Military Area were really a family of soldiers and bandits, and they were particularly xenophobic.

I don't think it's easy to put down roots in the Northwest.

After explaining this, Count Raymond stood up: "That's all I can help you with.Although that place is the land of tigers and wolves.But Du Wei, I'm still very optimistic about you.With your intelligence and ability, it shouldn't be difficult to take root in the northwest.It's hard to establish your local power.In this world, without your own local power.It's absolutely impossible to do it.Moreover, the war in the northwest is just around the corner.These years are your precious development period.You have to sweep your territory and establish authority in a few years, Putting your power deep in that land is the most important test...... And if you can't do that well, then it only means that you don't deserve the power in your hands.

The father and son hugged each other as a farewell.

Du Wei sent his father out of the door and got into the carriage, and then waved to his mother in the carriage. Looking at his weeping mother, Du Wei smiled and said, "Mother, after a few years, I will go to the Luolin Plain to visit you."

Seeing Gabley sitting there sullenly again, Du Wei's heart moved, walked over, and said with a smile: "Brother, I left a lot of interesting things in my hometown castle, just behind the castle, I built a manor, the last time my mother gave birth, I got those 'Dawn Goddess Forgiveness', and the kind of hot air balloon that can fly, all those materials are left there, after you go back, if you feel interested, you can take a look."

After a few more words of comfort, the young Gabry's face relaxed, and he glanced at Du Wei and said firmly: "Brother, when I grow up, I will definitely come to you!"

On this day, the once beautiful Rollin family completely left the long convoy, a dozen carriages, hundreds of servants and guards, protecting the three Counts of Raymond and going to their hometown on the plains of Rollin.

However, to Dewey's surprise, the loyal chief of the guard, Alpha, did not leave with Count Raymond.

"The Earl has an order." Alpha looked at the young master in front of him: "From today onwards, I am no longer a member of the Rollin family, and I will be loyal to you, Lord Duke Rudolph."

Sending off his parents and younger brother, Du Wei didn't have time to be sad.

He still has a lot of things to deal with, and the new land territory needs to be built up at once.

With the issuance of the decree, all the officials of the original province of Desa will leave, and Du Wei must organize a group of trusted people to take over the government affairs of the entire province!

No matter how barren or desolate it is, it is a province after all! Local officials, officials, even if they are just a small land clerk...... These need to be filled in large numbers of people!

But what does Du Wei have in his hands?

There are a few of the top powerhouses in the mainland, but the officials ......

After thinking about it, I can't let those pirates become the head of a province in the northwest, right?

Thinking about a group of pirates becoming local officials, Du Wei felt a cold sweat in the fish and meat town.

Lack of people!

There is a serious shortage of people!

According to the usual practice, this kind of transfer of government affairs in the territory of the enclosed land is generally about three months, but in three months, where can Du Wei find a group of officials who can use the land?

He really wanted to summon the group of people from the original Luolin Plain who had been dismissed, but later found out that it couldn't! Because the Luolin family was a convicted family, even the original local government officials in the Luolin family's territory were all dismissed, and all of them were demoted to civilians - never hired!

He can get some small tricks to protect his father's name, and he can use Emperor Chen's favor to make a fuss, but if he dares to get the group of officials in Luolin's land to the northwest...... Wouldn't that be a blatant replication of a Luo Linping in the northwest? No matter how much Prince Chen looked at himself, it was absolutely impossible to allow it.

After thinking about it, Du Wei suddenly saw the old housekeeper next to him, who was also in a daze, the former groom, Mr. Made.

"Uh...... Made." Du Wei blinked his eyes, looked at this loyal old groom, and said with a smile: "Your chairman of the Football Association.

It seems that we can't do it anymore, and the Rollin Plain is no longer our land...... But are you interested in being a governor of a province again?"

Governor?

Old Mada was so frightened that he almost softened on the spot, and hurriedly came up and hugged Du Weidi's leg, and cried affectionately: "Don't, young master...... Look at me, where do I look like I can be a governor!"

Du Wei rubbed the sun**: "Alas, where can I go to find someone......? Three months!"

Picking up Old Made, Du Wei looked at Tian Sè, and suddenly remembered something in his heart: "Made, what time is it today?"

"June 15." Mader was relieved to see that the young master no longer mentioned the affairs of the governor's land.

Old Madeke was an honest man, and he had a kind of simplicity that was almost peasant: he was very self-aware, and he knew that he definitely did not have the kind of command to be the governor of a province!

I don't have that blessing, I sit in that position, but I will be punished!

June 15?

Du Wei's eyes lit up, and he remembered a big thing in his heart, and immediately shouted: "Made, prepare a horse for me!

After a pause, he asked again, "Is there a Pegasus town in the northwest of Dìdū?"

Before the sun set, Du Wei rode alone on horseback and rode out of the city through the west gate of Dìdūdi towards the northwest acropolis.

Some of the people guarding the city gate recognized the young duke, who had been in the hot spot lately, and when he saw the anxious look on his face, how could he dare to stop him?

In his arms, he carried the green magic prop left by the old Gandalf, and according to the suicide note of Gandalf, as long as the moon was full tonight, the magic fireworks were lit in the Prancing Horse Stream...... You can see that Gandalf who let himself find land, and can be his own magic teacher!

The Pegasus town is not difficult to find, but it took Du Wei a lot of effort to find it. I asked the locals, and the locals said that they had never heard of this name. Finally, Du Wei got the news from the mouth of an old coachman who was traveling in a carriage and horse: "Prancing Horse Stream? You said that the land is the dirt slope outside the town, right? That place was called the Prancing Horse Stream, because legend has it that in ancient times, there was a group of divine horses, jumping between the two peaks. It was a place northwest of the town, and it was easy to find land, two dirt hills, with a ditch in between! But the legend is now little known, and later the locals gave them a new name because of the appearance of the two hillsides."

"Oh, what's that place called now?"

"Brokeback Mountain."

Du Wei: "............ I'm rì."

All the way out of the town to the northwest, Du Wei finally arrived at the "Brokeback Mountain" when the sun was setting.

Watching the night fall, Du Weice rode into a forest, and then walked into a ravine between two hillsides, which was obviously flat and rarely visited.

Du Wei simply abandoned his horse and walked in.

Far away, after walking through the ravine, I finally found a clearing under the Prancing Horse Stream where Gandalf's suicide note was written.

It's just that Du Wei looked from a distance, but found that when night fell, there was a fire in the open space, and a thin figure sat beside the fire with his knees crossed, looking very lonely.

The flame was faint, and the man had his back to Du Wei, and his body curled up as if he was still shivering.

"God...... Please bless the poor little Vivien...... Little, little Vivian is so cold now, and so good, so hungry......"
