By the time the convoy reached Helan City in Nulin Province, the garrison of the Governor of Bohan, who had been escorting him all the way, had already turned around and left.

This Helan City is also a big city in Nulin Province, backed by a Helan Mountain, which is a small peak on the edge of the Kilimaro Mountains. It's just that such a small tail dragged out of the Kilimano Mountains, but it is impartial, and it happens to be in the middle of the Nulin Province, and it is very coincidental that a Nulin Province is divided into two.

Although the Governor of Bohan and the Northwest Army did not say anything, they all maintained a tacit understanding, and the two sides took Helan City as the boundary, and the north of Helan City in Nulin Province was the territory of the Northwest Army, and the south was Governor Bohan's.

Helan City was controlled by the Northwest Army. When the city was still more than ten miles away, the escort cavalry sent by the governor of Bohan had just withdrawn, and in the direction of Helan City in the distance, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves.

A thousand cavalry teams of the Northwest Army with a black flag ran over, but this time it was much more polite, these cavalry stopped in the distance, and after a while, someone came to report to Du Wei, a general sent by the Northwest Army to greet the Duke, and wanted to see the Duke.

Du Wei got out of the carriage and looked, but it was an old acquaintance.

The general Dodora, who was in charge of the logistics and military supply of the Northwest Army, this fat man looked a little more oily on his face, probably taking advantage of this chūn season cāo performance, to get a lot of military pay from Governor Bohan.

This fat man, who has dealt with Du Wei several times, is still quite familiar with Du Wei. When he came to Du Wei to ask for military pay a few times before, Du Wei didn't give him any face, and according to the practice of officialdom, he also took some benefits. From top to bottom of the Northwest Army, this obscene fat man is probably the most familiar person with Du Wei. Let him lead the troops to meet him, and he can be regarded as a suitable person.

"Your Excellency, long time no see. Dotara dismounted and came to Du Wei, saluted, and then walked over enthusiastically. Holding Du Wei's hand, he smiled and said, "Lord Duke, I didn't expect you to come to visit." I have been waiting in Helan City for a day under the orders of the Legion Chief. ”

Since this time I came to the door as a guest. Although Du Wei hated the Northwest Army in his heart, a smile still piled up on his face, and he said with a smile: "I'm just worried that coming too recklessly and inviting guests will make General Lu Gao think I'm rude." ”

The two said a few words that were not nutritious, and Du Weicha looked at him, but he looked at this fat pig Di Duo Duoluo. Using his eyes to roll around, he was obviously carefully looking at Du Wei's convoy, and his eyes flashed with the taste of jǐng from time to time.

However, Du Wei was not afraid of his inspection, anyway, there was nothing hidden in his convoy, and this time, Du Wei came to worship the dock with complete swagger. Incidentally...... Cause trouble.

I thought: Lao Tzu didn't bring any dangerous goods in the convoy. But...... In two days, a dragon will be flown in!

After looking around, there were only two or three hundred people in Du Wei's convoy. There were only three or four carriages, and there was nothing to see. After watching it for a long time, I became a little interested in Du Wei's coachman.

"Lord Duke, I didn't expect you to like to use this barbarian of the South Seas. Duo Duo Luo smiled and lowered his voice: "Our General Lu Gao also likes it, I just got a few beautiful slave girls from Nanyang recently, and the Duke came by coincidence, and I happen to be blessed to see it." ”

Du Wei smiled and didn't speak, Duoduoluo patted his head, pretended to be speechless, and said with a smile: "Damn, damn! It's me who is too talkative! I heard that the Duke has been favored by the Marquise Liszt, and there is a Marquise like the first beauty in the mainland, and the general vulgar powder, where can you get into your eyes." ”

When he said this, his eyes couldn't stop observing Du Wei's reaction, and Du Wei smiled, didn't explain anything, and said casually: "General Dodoro said that he was joking, but you can still see Nanyang beauties here in the northwest, and it seems that General Lu Gao is also a person in my Tao!"

As he spoke, he asked Ladodoro to get into the carriage.

Duoduoluo didn't have much real military temperament in the Northwest Army, he was more like a financial steward, since he had a comfortable carriage to ride, he would not insist on riding, and with a smile as Du Wei got into his luxurious and comfortable carriage, he immediately praised the furnishings inside.

When Du Wei took out the fine wine that was placed in the secret compartment under the seat, this guy drank twice as much, and couldn't help but sigh comfortably: "Good wine! In this poor place in the northwest, such fine wine is rarely drunk." ”

Du Wei smiled slightly: "This wine is also made with a kind of fruit from the South Seas, if General Duoduoluo likes it, I still have some at home, just go back and ask someone to send you two boxes." ”

Duoduoluo thanked him again and again, and Du Wei had suddenly said lightly: "It's just that the general is the big steward of the Northwest Army, and he is in charge of eating, drinking, and Lazar of the 200,000 army, and that little thing in my house is rare in the eyes of others, and in the eyes of the general, I am afraid it is nothing more than that." ”

"Where, where!" Dodora was polite again and again, suddenly sighed in a low voice, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Lord Duke, you are laughing at me, my position seems to be beautiful, but in fact, I am a bellows rat who is angry on both sides, while going everywhere to you and Governor Bohan to beg for money, I have to deal with the generals of various divisions in the regiment to ask for money and food, I am also very annoyed, this time I can sneak out to meet you, get rid of those things in the camp, it is also a beautiful difference." ”

Du Wei's heart suddenly moved: "As you said just now, General Lu Gao recently bought a few beautiful slave girls...... You must have done that, right?"

"Not really!" Speaking of women, Tatara's eyes lit up and he grinned: "Although the skin of the women of Nanyang is slightly darker than that of our imperial people, the skin is really fine and smooth to the touch, like satin. What is rare is that it is obedient and supple, and how wonderful it is...... Hehe, Lord Duke, if you're interested...... Yes. No, no, I lost my word. Lord Duke, you can even get such good wine from Nanyang, and I heard that your business in Dìdū is very large, and the slave girl of Nanyang is probably a piece of cake for you. ”

Du Wei's heart moved...... Looking at this fat man, is it difficult to ask me for a bribe?

He didn't keep silent and smiled: "It's really not difficult. But what about me...... You know, I'm a magician, and I'm not much interested in this thing. But the slaves of the South Seas. I really want as much as I want. General Tadoro, if you are interested. I'll send a few people over and bring them to your camp with this Nanyang wine. When the time comes, it is also a pleasure to taste fine wine and hug beautiful people. ”

Duoduoluo's eyes smiled into a slit, but Du Wei added lightly: "By the way, since General Lu Gao asked you to buy a batch of beautiful slave girls, you must have divided a few, I'm afraid that I will give you a slave girl." It may not be as good as the general's gift. ”

Tadoro's face changed slightly on the spot, but he instantly covered up the past, and laughed at himself casually: "Where is the local dialect! What is my identity as Tadoro, but I am just a housekeeper." Those female slaves were bought by the general to reward a few hard-working generals, where do I have a share. ”

This man is not like a soldier, but a full-fledged philistine businessman! Du Wei made another conclusion in his heart about this Tatara land.

Such a guy. If Lu Gao really rebelled, such a person may not be determined to follow Lu Gao to rebel. Maybe you can start from his body and touch the details of the Northwest Army.

I'm not afraid you're greedy. I'm afraid I don't know what you're greedy for!

The carriage advanced, and Du Wei ordered not to stop in Helan City, and went directly to the northwest military camp. Anyway, with the protection of the cavalry of the Northwest Army, he was not afraid of any safety problems along the way, and he hurried overnight, Du Wei wanted to calculate that this was almost enough, and rushed to the northwest military camp as soon as possible, in case the second prince of the Dragon King arrived halfway.

In just two days, Totaro was full of praise for the enjoyment of Du Wei's magnificent carriage. Du Wei's carriage was given by Prince Chen, which was naturally extremely luxurious, especially since Du Wei did not hesitate to make a wind magic array under the carriage, which reduced the bumps and oscillations, and greatly increased the degree of comfort. Plus the things in the car, the wine and food, it is even more convenient.

In the bitter cold land of the northwest, how could Duoduoluo ever have such enjoyment? Although he took advantage of the commander's military resources and made a lot of money, he did not dare to go too far in the northwest army, and at best he was just a small landlord.

And people in the barracks, although they like to enjoy it, but because of the military regulations, they don't dare to be blatant.

Along the way, if it weren't for Du Wei's identity, Duoduoluo even thought that if he could summon a few more beautiful women in this luxurious carriage, and then the fragrant carriage beauties, wine and food, go all the way, drink and have fun in the car, and be really happy.

Finally, two days later, they arrived at the "Watt Fortress", the base camp of the Northwest Army.

It is a permanent military fortress, a military city built entirely to the standards of a medium-sized city in the Empire. According to the first-class fortress of the emperor's ** system, the city wall should be twelve meters high, but Du Wei can see at a glance that this city wall is at least fifteen meters high. It seems that the Northwest Army has built its own base camp at any cost.

The walls were built with the strongest boulders in the northwest, a round wall with a tall bust and extremely strong defense. From a distance, there are still some small catapults on the city wall.

As for bows and ballistas, not to mention.

Outside the walls of this Watt fortress, there are several large military camps around it, where the Pingrìli army performs, as well as a training ground for cavalry, a large-scale horse farm for feeding horses, and a forage field. In the city, it is completely like a purely military city.

The Northwest Army has been operating here for many years, and most of the residents in the city are family members of General Lu Gao's descendants of the Northwest Army. In order to maintain the loyalty of the descendant army, Lu Gao often moved the entire family of the soldier to Watt Fortress, so that the descendant army became a subordinate soldier under his nose.

In this militarized city, you can see people coming and going, most of them are soldiers of the Northwest Army, all of them are going out on leave, although they are wearing civilian clothes, but the way they walk is full of the killing atmosphere of the army.

Even the family members and women of the soldiers in the city were dressed plainly and came and went in a hurry. Order in the city. There are also cavalry patrols of the Northwest Army, with horses' hooves ringing, and the cavalry on the horses are holding their heads high and their momentum is compelling.

When Du Wei's convoy arrived at the city gate, he took the initiative to get out of the carriage. He made a high-profile visit this time, and he didn't care about these things on the shelf. Let the pennant be put up in the air. The carriage with the flagpole erected was ordered by Du Wei to go to the front of the convoy.

Du Wei and Dodoro also changed to horses, and the two walked side by side, sitting on horses, and Dodoro introduced the military fortress to Du Wei from time to time.

Suddenly. Du Wei saw a domed building on a wide street in the distance. Above the building, a sign hung high. On the walls of the building, there are colorful glass windows, and there are hanging cloth vines full of sacred smell......

"Yi?" Du Wei was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "Is there also a religious place for the temple here?"

The Duke laughed. The god of Tatara was awe-inspiring, and when it came to the matter of the temple, he didn't dare to joke: "The temple is the state religion of the empire, and naturally there are a large number of sergeants in our Northwest Army who believe in the temple." Even many of the generals in the army were believers in the temple. In the Empire, who is in a high position who does not believe in the gods?"

Du Wei nodded, but thought in his heart: Lao Tzu doesn't believe it.

As the team advanced into the city, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in front, and Du Wei stayed in the northwest for a long time. I also learned to recognize some information from the sound of horses' hooves, and when I heard it, I knew that it must be a knight of jīng Rui! But with a neat rhythm, it is obvious that the other party still maintains a neat queue and rhythm in the Mercedes.

Sure enough, on the street in the distance, a team of black-armored cavalry rushed all the way, and all the pedestrians on the road saw it from afar, and retreated to avoid it, and some people stood on the side of the road, but bowed deeply to the cavalry who came from afar, showing great respect.

The equipment of this team of black-armored cavalry is obviously different from the cavalry of the Northwest Army that Du Wei saw, their equipment is more jīng, and the black armor on the body looks like an extraordinary quality goods with strong defensive power, and the horses ridden are all excellent war horses carefully selected by Jīng.

As soon as Du Wei saw the dress of these knights, he immediately remembered Alpha's report to himself. The black-armored cavalry of the Northwest Army who intercepted the head of the golden wolf halfway were not these people?

Seeing that this group of cavalry had already rushed in front of them, it was less than fifty meters away from Du Wei's convoy before it suddenly stopped. A young knight at the head, with an iron mask on his face, stood proudly on his horse, and Du Wei immediately felt that a cold gaze swept towards him, staying on his body for a long time.

"General Tadora, I heard that you went to greet your guests, so I guess this person next to you is the famous Duke Tulip. The young knight had a very pleasant voice. It's just that Du Wei's heart suddenly burst!

Instinctively, the reaction in jīng's divine power made Du Wei feel very uncomfortable with this young knight. Although the other party's voice was peaceful, it carried an indescribable chill.

"I am Duverudorf. Du Wei smiled slightly, rode his horse and took a step to look at the young knight: "Your Excellency?"

Dotaro hurriedly said loudly: "Lord Duke, this is the son of our General Lu Gao......"

"My name is Sebasta. The young knight himself reported his name, his eyes stared at Du Wei, the corner of his mouth appeared with the strange smile that seemed to be when he cut off the head of the golden wolf, and he sat on the horse and bowed slightly: "Lord Duke, forgive me for the military order, I can't dismount and salute." I have admired the Duke for a long time, you are known as the strongest of the young generation on the mainland, and after coming to the northwest, you have created a miracle, I have admired you for a long time, and I have always wanted to get your advice. ”

Du Wei said politely, but the young knight suddenly smiled and said: "This time you come to Watt City, you must stay a little longer, so that I have the opportunity to think about you and ask for advice, in fact...... I am also very interested in magical magic, how can I let go of such a rare opportunity to have a famous magician like you coming? Please don't turn me away. ”

Du Wei smiled, he didn't say anything, Sebasta had already made a knightly salute to Du Wei right away. Then he turned around and said, "Go ahead." Before dark, I felt Helan City, those who fell behind, behead!"

After saying that, he took the people and Du Wei's convoy past and left quickly.

Duo Duo Luo wiped his sweat and said with a wry smile: "Lord Duke, please don't be surprised, this young general of our land, Xìng Zi has always been like this, even if he sees General Lu Gao himself, he has this attitude......

Du Wei said politely.

Later, Dodora took Du Wei to the marshal's mansion in the city. This marshal's mansion is built in a very grand manner. However, it is not the taste of luxury, but full of a kind of simplicity and majesty. There are no fancy carvings and decorations, and all the buildings are built with huge stones. Filled with a rugged taste.

Duoduoluo quickly sent someone in to make a report, and watching Duoduoluo go away, Du Wei suddenly whispered to a guard cavalry standing behind him: "Hey, I said, wanted criminal...... That kid just now was even more arrogant than when I first met you. ”

Behind this knight. With curly brown hair and an eyepatch on his face, it was the one-eyed Hussein who pretended to listen to Du Wei's words and snorted softly.

"Are you not convinced? I said how old you are, I heard that your strength is at least level eight! When you reached level eight. Not as young as he was. Your reputation as the number one knight in the continent is probably not very stable. ”

Hussein was not angry, but said lightly: "What is the first name in the continent." I never cared...... But this kid, when I heard that Rodriguez was stunning, I really wanted to see it. ”

When the two of them said this, a loud voice came from the Shuai Mansion.

"It's really my honor to visit Duke Tulip!" said him, and a figure walked out quickly, laughing roughly.

Du Wei just turned over and dismounted, and was about to say a few polite words, but the person who came had already come up, hugged Du Wei enthusiastically, patted Du Wei on the back, and laughed loudly: "I was friends with your father in my early years, and when I was fighting in the northwest more than 20 years ago, old Raymond was my old acquaintance. I've always heard that he has a son, and today I finally see you!"

After speaking, this person let go of Du Wei, pushed half a step away, looked at Du Wei carefully, and his square face was full of smiles: "Very good! ”

Du Wei also looked at this old warlord who had plagued the northwest for more than 20 years.

The appearance of this Lu Gao's face is really not visible at all, a square face, it looks dignified, full of righteousness, coupled with his loud voice, and a rough temperament, people who don't know may really see him as that kind of rough and heroic pure soldier.

But the more harmless it looks on the surface, the more dangerous it becomes.

Du Wei understands this very well.

Of course, this General Lu Gao still has something special.

Because, standing in front of Du Wei, he was half a head shorter than Du Wei, who was only fifteen years old!

This old warlord, who is famous for his murderous intentions in the Northwest, has evil intentions, and colludes with other races, so that Dìdū is helpless against him, is actually a man who is lower than Du Wei...... Dwarf.

However, in this place in the northwest, I'm afraid no one will dare to underestimate this dwarf!

Although Du Wei has never seen this General Lu Gao, he has also heard of the other party's appearance, and when he saw the real person at this moment, he sighed in his heart, this guy is a little shorter than he imagined.

Du Wei himself is not a real adult, and his height is only more than 160 centimeters according to the calculation of his previous life. And this Lu Gao's size only reaches his nose.

And on this short man's face, there is also a big eagle hooked nose, which makes his originally righteous and awe-inspiring square face a little more terrifying majesty and solemnity.

"General Lugao. Du Wei exhaled lightly and smiled, "My father has also mentioned you from time to time. It has been more than a year since I came to the Northwest, and it is really rude for me to have the opportunity to visit me today. ”

"You're welcome!" Lu Gao waved his hand heroically: "I fought with your father, and we can be regarded as brothers who live and die together." We're a family, come on, come on, come in and talk to me!"

With that, he pulled Du Wei and walked inside.

Du Wei thought in his heart: With you, a family of traitors who collude with foreign races, Lao Tzu will be unlucky!

As Lu Gao walked into the marshal's mansion, he came to a hall, but saw several knights wearing general's armor standing in the hall, including the one Du Wei had seen in Loulan City, the Gu Hua Duoluo who surrounded Loulan City with an army.

The other knights are all about thirty or forty years old, and all of them are full of the aura of arrogance, and the knight badges they wear on their chests are at least above level six.

It's just that everyone's eyes looking at Du Wei are undisguised, full of a kind of naked unfriendliness.

In the hall, a banquet has been set up, but it is not a large table according to the tradition of the Roland Empire.

Instead, it imitated the customs of the steppe people, and it was a separate seat system.

One by one, the small tables circled the hall, and Lu Gao pulled Du Wei to sit on the top with him. All the people brought by Du Wei naturally had to take care of them and take them down to rest, and the only one who accompanied Du Wei into the hall was Hussein alone.

Du Wei was pulled by Lu Gao and sat at a small table beside him, and he also followed the example of the prairie people, without a chair, but a cushion was laid on the ground, and everyone sat on the ground.

"Come, come, let me introduce you, this is the famous young genius of our empire! Lord Tulip! Hehe, the son of Count Raymond of the Rollin family. Lu Gao's introduction fell on Du Wei's ears, and he immediately felt a trace of unhappiness in his heart.

What does he mean by that...... The son of the Rollin family, but he became the Duke of Tulip...... Isn't that irony?

But looking at the heroic smile on Lu Gao's face...... Du Wei sighed, this guy can really pretend!

"Du Wei, you see, all of the people present here are brave generals in our Northwest Army! You have seen General Guhuadoro, let me introduce you one by one! Come on, brothers, we don't need the same way of aristocrats in our army, and they brought me wine one by one to salute this distinguished guest, and introduce themselves! Whoever doesn't get drunk today, Lao Tzu will beat him on the ass!"

Listening to General Lu Gao's "heroic" voice, Du Wei thought in his heart.

What type of person is this Lu Gao?

Wu Sangui, Shi Jingtang, or ...... An Lushan?

Thinking of this, Du Wei laughed, took the initiative to take a wine glass and stood up: "General Lu Gao is polite, I am a young boy, where can I afford to toast all the fierce generals in the army?

With that, he took the cup and walked towards the first general who sat down beside him. The beard on the face of this general, judging from the banner of Meiyu, is quite similar to the two hundred and five Longbottom.

Du Wei raised his glass at him and said with a smile: "This glass of wine is for my Du Wei Rudolph to pay tribute to the heroes of the Northwest Army!"

After speaking, Du Wei looked at this guy with a cup. Who knew that the general smiled coldly, snorted heavily, looked at the wine glass in front of him, but did not stretch out his hand.

The atmosphere suddenly froze.
