Du Wei was indeed waiting for a signal, waiting for a signal from dìdū, from the regent.

Unfortunately, he waited for this. However, along with this signal, there is also a small "trouble".

Winter has not yet passed, the snow and ice have not yet begun to melt, and the road is still difficult.

On this morning, the two carriages of Loulan City attracted the attention of the patrolling cavalry outside the city.

The two carriages had the emblem of the Temple of Light on them, and four holy knights were followed by each of the carriages. When the patrolling cavalry approached, they were told that there was a distinguished guest from the Dìdū temple in the carriage, and because they had shown legal formalities, the patrolling cavalry could only escort them all the way into Loulan City.

The first construction of the new religious house in Loulan City has been completed, which is a cathedral close to the Duke's Palace, and is guarded by a hundred holy knights. And when these two carriages entered the city, it was the busiest time for caravans to enter and exit the city gates in the morning, which attracted the attention of many people. Everyone was speculating about which of the most prominent figures in the temple would arrive in such a luxurious carriage.

The carriage did not go to the church and religious office in Loulan City, but drove directly to the door of the Duke's Palace.

To the surprise of the Holy Knights accompanying the guards, their group had just stopped at the Duke's Palace, and such a sudden visit did not surprise the other party.

Waiting for them was the wide open gate outside the castle, and a troop of Tulip family guards came out to greet them, and standing at the gate of the castle was an old fellow dressed in the service of a typical aristocratic butler, who even wore a beautiful bow tie and a respectful and modest smile on his face.

Then he used a posture that even court ceremonies could not fault. He personally opened the door for the distinguished guests in the carriage, and then made a gesture of inviting him to get out of the carriage, and said with a smile on his mouth: "Your Royal Highness, Your Excellency the Duke has ordered me to wait here to meet you." I'm sorry because you came so suddenly. The Duke was anxious for a meeting of the generals of the family in the morning. So I can't greet you personally. ”

Stretching out of the carriage was a slender woman's hand, and then, Her Royal Highness the Venerable Holy Maiden in the Continental Temple slowly stepped out of the carriage, although she had a reserved smile on her face. However, there was still a slight hint of surprise in her eyes, and then she quickly calmed down, and casually put her hand on the hand of the old butler in front of her, and let the other party help her out of the carriage.

A cold wind blew, and despite the thick white fur sand collar, the saint couldn't help but shrink her neck, and then laughed in a low voice: "Thank you." Oh, this northwest weather. Is it always so cold?"

"It's good to get used to it. The old butler smiled very measuredly: "Your Highness, I have arranged a warm lounge. Is there anything else you need?"

"Please take care of my faithful knights, who have worked hard all the way. The saint said lightly. "As you wish. Rest assured. These knights are treated as VIPs. The old butler smiled and said, "My name is Made, Your Highness." If you have any needs, you can tell me directly. ”

The saint carefully watched the surroundings all the way, looking at the majestic ducal castle, and then she politely complimented: "This is a very magical place, Mr. Butler, I have heard that this place was completed in only three months, is it true? ”

The old butler replied politely, and then the holy woman made a request: "I'm not in a hurry to go to the lounge, I'm very curious about this place, can I walk around and have a look?"

"Absolutely. The old butler smiled, but then added, "However, there are some places in this castle that are forbidden places for the Duke. No one is allowed to enter or leave without his own orders...... Oh, Your Highness, you also know that our Lord Duke is a magician, and the habits of magicians are always a little different from those of ordinary people. ”

The saint smiled a little calmly, and then thought for a moment, "Then, please take me to the lounge...... I think I'd better wait until I get the owner's permission before I go around. ”

What is Du Wei doing now?

Of course, he had known about the arrival of this holy highness.

In fact, he got the news before the frame of the saint had even entered the border of the province of Dessa.

At this time, the war is imminent, what is this Holy Highness who can't get along with herself going to the northwest to do? Does she want to play any tricks?

What did the temple think? While cooperating vigorously with himself, he threw such a trouble to the northwest to cause trouble for himself?

And Prince Chen...... He actually agreed?

Damn it...... It can't be that Prince Chen wants to take the opportunity to take advantage of the war to get rid of this niece of his own, right? Du Wei was not without malicious conjecture.

Du Wei was not in a meeting with any generals. In fact, now most of the generals under Du Wei's command have gone to the border military camps in Desar Province and Nulin Province, and the only one who can be called a "military general" in Loulan City is the Loulan City Guard Dardanelles. After Du Wei got up early this morning, he went to the laboratory first, his "Flying Dragon Battleship" was basically completed, and the green-robed Gandorf taught him a little "trick", and on this secret weapon, Du Wei added a little little toy for the yīn people.

Later, in the morning, he had a morning tea with Mrs. Liszt, Miss Angel. After that, the kid muse who didn't like Du Wei came to disturb him—hell, this guy who made Du Wei unpleasant actually told him that he wanted to go to the battlefield.

"Why did you say that there was going to be a war?" Du Wei pretended to be stupid in front of this guy: "It's an era of peace, and there is no battlefield. ”

"Don't lie to me. "Muse's face is dark, in the two years in the northwest, this kid has grown a little taller, but by Du Wei's standards, he is still too thin.

"It's like a. This is what Longbottom said about the kid.

"Don't lie to me. The muse faced Du Wei: "Most of your army has been mobilized to the east, and everyone is so busy now that idiots can see that they are making the final mobilization before the war." Hum...... I'm not a fool, Lord Duke!"

Du Wei looked at the red cháo on the kid's face, and the beads of sweat on the tip of his nose. Suddenly I asked an irrelevant question: "What did you do in the morning?

He even took two steps closer, took out a silk handkerchief from his bosom, and wiped the sweat from his nose for the muse with his own hands. This action startled the muse, and he quickly took two steps back.

"Oh, I forgot. You have a habit of cleanliness. Du Wei smiled and put away the silk handkerchief.

"I ...... I went to practice swordsmanship in the morning. The muse tried to puff out his chest. He said loudly: "My teacher told me that my swordsmanship has reached the level of level three! And said that soon, I will be able to cultivate Dou Qi......! I'm grown up! Hell, don't look at me like that, I'm not a kid anymore!"

"Only children will desperately emphasize that they are not children. Du Wei shrugged.

"If you don't let me go, I'll run by myself!" the muse was still resolute.

"You'd better not do that. Because in that case, I wouldn't hesitate to break your legs -- both together. Du Wei's tone was flat, as if he was saying something unrelated.

Then, he glanced at the muse, and then suddenly asked an irrelevant question: "What is the matter of the war...... You listened to your sister. ”

The muse was silent for a moment before nodding.

"Your sister is smart. Du Wei smiled: "What else did she say besides this?"

She said......" Muse coughed, "She gave me a list of some middle and low-ranking generals in the Northwest Army. These are all candidates that we are likely to win over. Unless you promise to take me to the battlefield, though. Otherwise I wouldn't have given you this list. ”

Du Wei thought for a moment - is Madame Liszt helping me......? She is still a very attentive woman. But what did she want to do with her muse?

"Just wait. Brat. Du Wei nodded: "Okay." I can take you there, but you have to come with me. And also...... If you don't obey, I'll break your legs. ”

After a pause, Du Wei looked at this guy maliciously, and suddenly smiled maliciously: "By the way, you should be careful when you practice sword in the future, I know that you are now in the development stage...... Always oppressive, not good for physical development. ”

As he spoke, Du Wei's eyes fell on Muse's chest intentionally or unintentionally, which made Muse's face turn white with fright. Fortunately, Du Wei quickly turned his eyes away, and then waved his hand to let the kid out.

He...... He got it?

The muse's heart beat one hundred and eighty, and he fled from Dewey's study in trepidation.

"Hmph. Mrs. Liszt...... Well-intentioned. Du Wei glanced at the list left by the muse, and then sighed: "But, doesn't she know a famous saying? War, let the woman go away!"

Du Wei looked at the time, and the sun was almost overhead.

Well, presumably Her Highness should be in a hurry.

He slowly changed his clothes, and then came to the door of the saint's lounge.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Du Wei heard the laughter of a woman coming from inside, and he pushed open the door, but saw Madame Liszt and His Royal Highness the Holy Maiden sitting together, two beautiful women, talking and laughing, as if they were very familiar.

Du Wei walked in, stretched exaggeratedly, and then said with a smile: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I am very surprised by your sudden arrival, it is really rude for me to make you wait for so long." ”

When the saint saw Du Wei coming in, she stood up, bowed her head at Du Wei, and said, "Lord Duke, if you want to tell me something about an excuse to have a meeting with the generals, then forget it." I think everyone knows by now where your brave generals are. ”

Madame Liszt also saluted Du Wei, who smiled, squinted his eyes, and looked at the widow of Jīng Ming: "Madam, I have just met your brother, and he has made a very difficult request to me. Do I have your permission?"

"Yes, sir. If you don't bother, just promise him. Mrs. Liszt sighed: "I think there is nothing more effective than a cruel war to hasten the maturation of a man." And, by your side, I won't worry about his safety. ”

"War does speed up people's maturity. Du Wei looked at Madame Liszt. "Especially men. ”

Madame Liszt's expression did not change in the slightest: "Thank you for your understanding. ”

Du Wei pointed to the two: "Did you know each other before?"

"Of course. Mrs. Liszt laughed, "It's been many years." ”

Then the woman glanced at Du Weishen and said goodbye with a smile: "I think the Duke must have a lot of things to discuss with His Royal Highness, so I will retire first." Before she left, when she walked past Du Wei, Du Wei whispered something in her ear. This sentence made Madame Liszt's expression change a little.

"Later...... Find a new sword teacher for Muse - a female teacher. Du Wei sighed indifferently. Said softly: "He has grown up, and there will be a lot of physical contact in swordsmanship. ”

However, Mrs. Liszt's expression changed only for a second, and then she regained her composure: "I will think about it, thank you for your opinion." ”

Subsequently, she left. After the door is closed. Du Wei let out a long sigh, he walked in front of the saint with a big grin, then sat in a chair, and said lazily: "Okay, let's say, why did you come here at this time?"

"Is that how you treat a lady? The saint said tepidly. "Come on. Du Wei pointed to the other party's nose: "You are not my friend, we know this very well." Now there are no outsiders here. I'm too lazy to make those gestures. And...... To tell you the truth, I didn't kick you out of the northwest with a broom. It's already a rare amount of tolerance. ”

The saint smiled a little, and she smiled very charmingly. He even took off the veil on the ground on his face. Just sat in front of Du Wei and looked at Du Wei. The voice was a little sweet: "If I said I was here to make trouble for you, would you really do that?"

Du Wei considered two wonderful bells: "Probably...... It depends on how much trouble you are looking for, and if it is a big trouble, I don't mind creating an accident and making you die in the northwest. I don't think the esteemed regent would object to it. Of course, at your funeral, we'll all squeeze out a few tears. ”

The saint smiled, her laughter was very presumptuous, even a little unscrupulous, she used an intimate action, leaned towards Du Wei's side, Du Wei smelled the fragrance on her body, but dodged to the side as if poisoned: "Don't do this to me, Your Royal Highness...... I'm not the stupid boy of the Marquis de Seine's family that you killed so badly. ”

"What if I'm here to help you?" said the saint as she returned to her seat.

"Oh?" Du Wei laughed, and then said, "You said you wanted to help me?" then my first reaction was to hold my wallet tightly, and then look around to see if I had fallen into any trap. My dear Highness, I am a person who likes to joke very much...... But I don't have a habit of joking with the enemy. ”

"You lack a sense of humor. The saint sighed: "Let's be straight, I can give you a great benefit." But I also have my conditions. Du Wei crossed his legs and looked at the woman with slanted eyes: "Tell me about it...... But first of all, I have a big appetite and the general benefits are hard to impress me. ”

The saint snorted and said leisurely: "You know, under Lu Gao of the Northwest Army, there is a guy named Guhua Doro. ”

Du Wei stopped smiling, he sat up straight: "Of course, Guhuadoro, he once led troops to surround my capital, and besides, he is one of Lu Gao's most trusted generals. ”

"Look. The saint smiled, and she smiled like a flower: "You have been moved by me, have you?"

Du Wei looked at the woman's smile, and he narrowed his eyes...... It started with an official document from dìdū.

"His Majesty the Emperor of the Roland Empire, the military order of the Imperial Command, hereby order Lu Gao, the commander of the Northwest Army of the Empire, and the generals of the Northwest Army, the Imperial [**] Command has decided that due to the rampant demonic beasts in the north, the Storm Legion will enter a large-scale reorganization, the Northwest Army and the Storm Legion will exchange defense areas, and the Storm Legion will take over the Northwest Theater, and the Northwest Army will be ready to start all matters within one month after receiving this order, and go to the Northern Theater of the Empire in accordance with the marching route prescribed by the Military Command, and the Northwest Army will take over the Northern Theater. There was no change in the personnel arrangements in the Northwest Army, and Lu Gao, commander of the Northwest Army, was awarded the title of Marquis, and the commander of the Northern Theater and the officers and men of the whole army were given double salaries. The change of guard must be completed within one month, otherwise the military law will engage in the following

Imperial [**] Command, Acting Minister of War Robeschel (signed), Regent of the Empire. ”

This official document was sent to the Watt Fortress of the Northwest Army at almost the same time, and an identical copy was already placed on Du Wei's desk.

There is no doubt that after the content of this official document was spread, even idiots knew that there was going to be a war.
