(Today's update is a little late, because this chapter was written at the end of the xìngzi, so I wrote a little more, and naturally it was a little later than Pingrì.)

It's a two-in-one long chapter, 10,000 words.

Nine hundred and sixty-six years of empire.

Although the New Year has passed, winter has not yet passed, and chūn days have not arrived.

It's just that in the dìdū palace, one order after another was issued to the military headquarters, and then through the military headquarters, these orders were distributed to various places, and the meaning of this was quite thoughtful.

Because the empire was in a state of war, the military department issued an order to improve the combat effectiveness of the local garrisons and reserves, and to prepare for front-line combat at all times, and this year's national "chūn season cāo exercise" was carried out earlier than in previous years.

Especially in the north-central region of the mainland, to be precise, several surrounding provinces, local garrisons and reservists were mobilized early, with dìdū as the center and spokes.

The ice on the canal had not yet melted, and the cold wind was still biting, and after receiving the red military order from the Dìdū military headquarters, which symbolized the highest authority, the local garrisons in various places immediately mobilized nervously.

Because the empire is in a state of war, after the previous three years of intentional operation, the military affairs in various places have already been rectified, and the grain, grass and materials are also complete, although this year's chūn season cāo performance is much earlier than in previous years, but at most it is just soldiers and officers complaining, and the supplies and grass are still in place quickly under the overtime work of the military department. The area of the family domain was run over many years by the former governor Bohan. It is arguably the richest place in the Northwest - of course, this situation was broken later when Duke Tulip came to the Northwest.

However, Governor Bohan was a rare talent in the Empire, and although he later stepped down, he also left a very rich family foundation for his successors.

Governor Bohan is not a descendant of Prince Chen, and it is normal for him to be transferred after sweeping away the local division of the Northwest Army. Later, after Du Wei held the special position of "Minister of Military Administration in the Northwest", Nulin Province did not establish the position of Governor for two years, which made this province almost Du Wei's sphere of influence.

However, in the northwest dúlì division headed north. After the official reorganization into the Imperial Air Force, Du Wei's special position of "Minister of Northwest Military Administration" was also cut by the regent, and Nulin Province was finally reassigned to the jurisdiction of Zhōngyāng.

The successor governor is, in a way, an old acquaintance of Du Weidi.

Marquis of Seine.

This marquis is a nobleman from the south and is a member of the royal camp. However, there was an incident two years ago: that is, at that auction, a young master of the Senna family was bewitched by His Royal Highness the Holy Maiden. Dare to bid for ......

That incident made the Marquis of Seine almost lose the favor of the royal family, and later this old fox in the political arena. It is said that he personally ran into the palace to plead guilty, and when he broke his straw bale son's leg, and deprived him of all inheritance rights, he was driven back to his hometown in the south.

Later, in the first two years of the empire's military reorganization, the Marquis of Seine gave a lot of blood and donated money, which can be regarded as regaining the trust of the regent.

So, when it came time to choose the governor of Nulin Province, the regent chose his head - on the one hand, Nulin Province was far northwest. The Marquis of Seine, on the other hand, was in the south, and this was the Empire's policy in appointing local governors: those appointed governors had to be far away from their own family's sphere of influence, so as not to make the local governors too powerful.

Second...... Although the Marquis of Seine regained the trust of the royal family, but after all. Because of the matter of that auction, it can be regarded as Du Wei personally deposing his son, and the mind of being a father, even if the Marquis of Senna does not say it, he naturally does not dare to hate the royal family. But I don't have a good impression of Du Wei in my heart!

There is such a "non-Duwei" camp who is selected to guard Nulin Province. It can also somewhat suppress the tulip family's local power in the northwest. This is also a very normal imperial balancing technique.

In late January, he was then the Marquis of Seine, then governor of the province of Nulin. After receiving the military's red sè military order, he immediately complied, mobilized two local garrison divisions stationed in Nulin Province, and began the routine chūn season cāo exercise.

In previous years, because of the special pattern of the Northwest, after the Northwest Army was swept away, when Du Wei was still the Minister of Military Administration of the Northwest, the chūn quarter cāo performances in Nulin Province and Desa Province were jointly held.

Now, it's officially separated. And the governor of Senna received a special "order" in addition to the official express military order.

This order was sent directly from the rank of commander of the Imperial Forest Army in the palace - the regent's personal order.

This order is not considered a "secret order", because the regent did not say that it should be kept secret, but at the same time, it violates the convention, and the meaning of an additional order in addition to the order of the military department is worth pondering.

Moreover, the content of this command is aimed at......

In late January, two local garrison divisions, which had just assembled in the southeastern part of Nulin Province to prepare for the exercise, suddenly received an order from the governor of Nu Hang Province, and immediately changed the route of the march and turned around and headed west.

After a six-day long march, the troops divided into two routes and came to the border area where the provinces of Nurin and Desar meet.

Then, with some delicate manipulation, the two infantry regiments soon crossed the border and entered the territory of the Tulip family, and after the infantry had crossed the border for sixty miles, a "notice" was officially sent to the commander of the Tulip family's garrison at one of the military fortresses on the eastern border.

The content of this notice is very simple: the garrison of Nulin Province conducts a long-distance training exercise in the chūn season cāo, and requests to cross the border to do a long-distance marching exercise, hoping that the tulip family will cooperate with Yunyun.

This kind of "cross-border exercise", if placed in the country, is actually not uncommon in the empire. Because often every year, the chūn season cāo performance is to mobilize the garrison troops of various places to perform the play, and the local army is mobilized. Inevitably, they will leave their own station and run into someone else's jurisdiction.

The empire has been established for nearly a thousand years, and there are many large and small aristocratic classes, and there are scattered large and small aristocratic private territories everywhere on the mainland, just like psoriasis pieces distributed all over the mainland, and they can assemble and exercise and march long distances. It is inevitable that they will run into the territory of some noble, big or small.

In the past, this kind of thing was originally ordinary, but in order to show respect for the lord, an official document would be sent in advance to say hello to the other party - after all, since it was a military act, it was natural to make a march plan very early, and knew where to march early. Passing by somewhere.

Before running to someone else's house, saying hello in advance can also be regarded as respect for the owner. This is also the proper etiquette.

This time, however, the troops had already driven directly into the territory of other people, and the notice came -- this practice could not be explained by "unintentional."

The two infantry battalions were immediately stopped after entering the territory of the Tulip family and crossing sixty miles across the border.

The young Zhuang general of the Tulip family, known as the "Little Two Hundred and Five", Gaida, personally led a thousand cavalry to block the way of the garrison of Nulin Province.

At first, the Nulin garrison also tried to send someone over to call, and took out the notice to explain the matter, but little Gaida really deserved to be a stunned young man trained by Longbottom, and the Nulin garrison sent three officers to the announcement. He was ruthlessly driven back, and the reply was one sentence: leave immediately!

The Nulin garrison was stupid.

What kind of thing is this? Originally, the order of this exercise site was a little weird, and it was not surprising that people were not happy to rush to the territory of the Tulip family. Although his own side has the order of the emperor's [**] department...... But the family is a private army of the family. The emperor's [**] ministry can manage the official army. But he can't control the private army of the nobles.

Trying to be accommodating, the little two hundred and five on the opposite side made it clear that the battle was not going to give way.

Moreover, looking at the thousand cavalry led by Gaida, one by one they were all high-grade war horses from the steppe, and each cavalry was wearing the most expensive full-body iron armor. The cost of this set of iron armor. I'm afraid it's a lot taller than the cavalry of the Stormwind Legion, the most sharp in the Empire!

Not to mention the local garrison, I'm afraid that the weapons prepared are not even comparable to the Wangcheng Guards.

The whole continent knows it. Duke Tulip is very rich, but it is not such a waste to have money! These cavalrymen, all of them are high-quality jīng full-body knight armor - note that this is not the standard army cavalry armor, but the kind of full-body armor that only "knights" wear!

Not to mention the people, even the horses were covered in light armor - such a style of arming to the teeth was like throwing gold coins into the water.

However, such a thick armor can only be prepared by the finest war horses produced in the grassland, otherwise, even people with armor, ordinary war horses will not move at all.

In terms of weapons, the cavalry of the Imperial Army was only equipped with a charging bayonet, but these Tulip family cavalry were equipped with maces, and each of them was equipped with a mechanical short crossbow - the cost of this short crossbow was even more expensive, and in the past, only the ace army of the Royal Guards who specialized in guarding the dìdū would prepare this kind of weapon.

In the Tulip family, it seems that these are just ordinary armors, and even all the weapons worn by officers above the rank of cavalry commander are all magically blessed with xìng - this is simply a luxury.

What's even more depressing is ...... The other side actually has other arms to fight together!

A thousand cavalry in Qaida blocked the way, and in less than a moment, the "air force" of the Tulip family appeared in the sky.

The hot air balloons one by one, the airships were clearly painted with tulip totems, and dozens of airships floated to the top of the Nulin garrison, looking like that, if they don't retreat, I'm afraid that the "bomb" that once made the cavalry of the Northwest Army suffer will fall on their heads.

After hesitating for less than a meal, a report came from the front, and the two infantry regiments that ran into the territory of the Tulip family were disarmed by the Tulip family's army!

Gaida was also really bold, he led a thousand cavalry, and he dared to make a move against two infantry regiments and six thousand local garrisons.

A thousand cavalry rushed directly in front of the Nulin garrison, and without saying a word, they rushed into the opposing array. This style of not even saying hello, but doing it directly when it comes up, immediately made it difficult for the two infantry regiments in the vanguard...... But the family is the Tulip family's private army, and the power of the Duke Tulip is there, who would dare?

Although he has a military order in his hand, after all, his head is on his neck, and watching Gaida rush over with the cavalry murderously, it is definitely not a joke.

So. The officers of these two infantry regiments immediately ordered their arrays to quickly separate, get out of the way of the other party's charge, and then raised the banner of retreat......

After all, Gaida is not really two hundred and five, although he is a fierce general, but he also knows that at this time, it is okay to scare the other party, but it is not okay to really fight. He rushed in front of the other side like a whirlwind with a thousand cavalry, almost grazing the nose of the two infantry regiments of the Nurin garrison. Then with a sudden order, a thousand cavalry were running at a rapid pace, and they could calmly turn a big bend. An almost ninety-degree turn, a thousand cavalry, in front of the two infantry regiments, calmly crossed, and even the horses' hooves trampled the dust on the ground, choking the soldiers of the Nulin garrison to the point of coughing.

Later, Gaida divided his troops into two ways, and all the way calmly went around behind the opponent's buttocks, and a thousand cavalry were so grandiose. The forces of these two infantry regiments were "surrounded"!

"Surrender and disarm, we will send you out of the country!"

Gaida didn't give the other party a second option.

The cavalry of the Tulip family, with strong men and horses, and good weapons, pointed at the Nulin garrison in the middle. There is also a tulip family's airship hovering in the sky......

The officers of the two vanguard regiments thought about their heads and their fate...... After all, he is from the Northwest, and although the military order has not been completed, it is a big deal to go back and be reprimanded and scolded. At most, he will be beaten with a military stick. But if you turn your face here. It's really a fight -- it's a good fight, but that's another story.

Afterwards, Duke Tulip was furious. Pursuing it, it's not a place where these two little people can live.

The two of them have their own little abacus: people with discerning eyes can see that this time is unusual, most of them are intrigues at the top, but in the end, don't take a little person like yourself out to put on the black pot. At this time...... Captive!

So, the 6,000 infantrymen surrendered to the 1,000 cavalry, obediently surrendered their banners and weapons, and then, under the "escort" led by Gaida, returned in formation and left the border of the province of Desa.

As for how to punish these two officers after going back, the governor of Nuxing Province will not say.

And Gaida did not leave after driving out these Nulin garrisons.

Because......

Sure enough, as Mr. Philip predicted. On the second day of the departure of the garrison of Nulin Province. A heavily armed division, clearly bearing the banner of the Wangcheng Guards, came from the east, all the way through the entire territory of Nulin Province, and came to the border of the province of Desa.

Subsequently, a "notice" was sent by the flying horse.

There is still nothing special about the content: the military department ordered that a certain division under the Wangcheng Guards will conduct a long-distance training exercise and cross the border into the province of Dessa, and I ask you to cooperate with Yun

This Wangcheng Guards is not a soft persimmon like the Nulin garrison, and it can be driven away by scare.

Gaida didn't say anything, replied directly, and refused the other party's request.

Then, the atmosphere suddenly became tense......

Within two days, on the eastern border of the Tulip family's territory of Desa Province, two cavalry regiments of the Tulip family's private army had gathered here, and the leader was still Gaida. At the same time, the Tulip family mobilized a brigade of airships to hover in the air, as well as the infantry regiments of the two fortresses originally stationed on the eastern border, which had begun to close the fortresses and prohibit them from entering and leaving, and everything seemed to have entered a state of war.

Gaida's two cavalry regiments were stubbornly blocking the border, and the commander of the division of the Wangcheng Guards on the other side sent three official documents in a row, all of which were rejected by Gaida.

The reason is very simple: the orders of your military headquarters cannot control the private army of our Tulip family! According to the usual practice, it is our accommodation to let you in, and not letting you in is not a violation of the laws of the empire, it is also our duty!

The division commander was furious. First, a team of cavalry was sent to try to make a detour of dozens of miles, bypass this area, and enter the opponent's jurisdiction, trying to create a "fait accompli" first, but in less than two days, this group of cavalry was all wrapped in rice dumplings by the other side and thrown back. This time, Gaida showed no mercy and confiscated all his horses and weapons.

Cavalry sent back. Most of them had bruised noses and swollen faces, and some had injuries on their bodies, but fortunately, no one died.

Under the deliberate tolerance of both sides, the friction is still suppressed within a sane limit.

The armies in front are facing off.

Later, a war of words began.

An order from the emperor quickly bypassed Du Wei, who was in dìdū, and was sent directly to the northwest - this is a very strange practice. Du Wei, the lord of the northwest, was clearly in the dìdū, but the military department did not dare to go to Du Wei for questioning, but sent him to the northwest! But there is a hint of unusual flavor in it.

Ordered to accuse the Tulip family of disregarding the overall situation and disrupting the normal chūn season cāo performance of the emperor's [**] side.

Here in the Tulip family, Philip personally cāo knife pen pen to write a reply. Indicates that the other party has no legal basis.

The military department accused the Tulip family of illegally detaining soldiers of the Wangcheng Guard.

The Tulip family reverted to being a local lord with the right to arrest any outsider who trespassed into their territory.

The military department ordered that it was a grave crime to disobey military orders.

The Tulip family replied that according to national law, the private army of the local lord is privately owned by the lord and is not under the control of the state.

The military department ordered......

The Tulip Family replied to ......

The war of words went back and forth, but the knights who were busy delivering letters on fast horses were busy with the fast horses on the main road and river leading to the northwest, one by one, and the fast horses ran back and forth quickly.

In these rìzi, the eyes of almost the entire continent are focused on this place in the northwest!

Aspects. are all guessing the ins and outs of this incident with a shocked attitude.

Don't...... The popular Duke Tulip, his path to power has come to an end??

With the fierce rhetoric of the two sides of the paper, the two factions are verbally and penally criticizing each other. However, no matter how fierce the arguing of the military headquarters was, they never said the most lethal word "rebellion".

And at this time, I was in dìdū Di Du Wei ......

He still recuperates behind closed doors every day, and is at home with two beautiful fiancées, Thrush.

He was obviously in good shape, but the military department quarreled fiercely with Philip in the northwest. On the other hand, he seemed to completely ignore the big boss in the northwest.

Even. The quarrel between the two sides was almost overwhelming, and the military headquarters was less than seven streets away from the Duke's palace of the Dukes of Dìdū Tulip. But he never sent even one person to ask what Du Wei meant, but every day, the Red Army newspaper went back and forth......

This strange scene simply made the eyes of the wealthy nobles of all sizes in the dìdū fall to the ground when they saw it! Fortunately, at this time, no stunned young man really ran to the military headquarters to "kindly" remind the other party: Hey! Duke Tulip himself, but he is in dìdū! You have quarreled with the subordinates of the duke and the duke all day long, isn't this a reluctance to seek the near and far?

Thankfully, there are no such idiots in dìdū.

This "farce" lasted for 20 days.

Finally, finally, an order from the palace was sent to the military headquarters, and the Wangcheng Guards Division was changed to conduct a joint military exercise with the garrison of Nulin Province on the spot, and the previous exercise plan was nullified.

This matter can be regarded as a reluctant end.

But Gaida's army still stayed at the border and did not disperse, but was more than ten miles away, coldly watching the division of the Wangcheng Guards and the garrison of Nulin Province conducting a so-so "exercise", after that, the division of the Wangcheng Guards did not return to Dìdū, but drove to the capital of Nulin Province and stationed on the spot...... If in previous years, someone said that Duke Tulip might rebel -- then most of those who said such things would be laughed at by others.

Can ...... now No one dares to guarantee that Duke Tulip is really so peaceful!

But Du Wei is still recuperating at home as steadily as Mount Tai.

From beginning to end, not to mention that the military department did not come to the door to find Du Wei's theory, even in the palace, there was not even a half-word will, let alone blame Du Wei's will.

Previous frictions have not subsided. Another thing, immediately poured a bucket of oil on this fire that had not been extinguished!

There was a battle report from the Northern Front, written by General Rostock on the front, that winter was coming to an end, and after opening the chūn, a large-scale offensive of the enemy was expected, and the Storm Corps in the Northern Theater of Operations. After several months of continuous combat last year, the soldiers were damaged and needed to be replenished. Ask the Empire to replenish its troops and go north.

Subsequently, the regent personally issued a decree to carry out the second military mobilization within the empire in order to reinforce the northern theater of operations.

This time, on the one hand, five local garrison divisions were transferred from the south to the north, and at the same time, the regent said. In this time of war, it is hoped that the noble lords in the empire can also contribute to the country, and it is hoped that the lords can contribute private troops to the north. Replenish the combat power of the Emperor [**] team!

The first is the Tulip family, everyone knows that on the mainland, if you talk about the huge territory, the Tulip family may not be the first. But if it comes to the level of private military jīng sharpness, then if the Tulip family claims to be second, no one dares to claim to be first.

It is not uncommon for such a precedent to be conscripted into the war by the private armies of the lords. The Augustinian dynasty was surprisingly inaugurated to have such a precedent.

However, this kind of requisition of the nobles' private army has not been done for hundreds of years-because. The empire was strong, with several main battle legions strong and strong, and countless local garrisons in the locality - if it was reduced to the point of mobilizing the lord's private army to fight, it would be unless it was a last resort and the empire was already shaking. will do this final mobilization.

But now, obviously, the worst is far from the worst.

But this requisition order was still issued!

Of course, this kind of requisition order...... Although nominally it is "Ling". But in fact, it is more like an "initiative" or a "call".

Because the empire has been established for thousands of years. The private property of the aristocracy was still extremely protected. After all, it is a feudal imperial empire. The private property of the nobility was sacrosanct.

After all, the elite class is the basis of royal rule. The royal family is the world's largest aristocratic class. In any dynasty, there will be no such thing as the emperor arbitrarily confiscating and embezzling the property of other nobles - otherwise, it will cause chaos, cause a full-scale backlash from the aristocracy, and the royal family will be finished.

Once the territory is divided, the empire will not take it back under normal circumstances, after all, this is a thunder pool! Once it is crossed, and you take over one family's territory today, then thousands and hundreds of other families will be watching with their eyes! It is inevitable that the rabbit will die and the fox will be sad, causing a general rebellion.

Therefore, unless it was a last resort, the emperor did not dare to attack the idea of the private property of the nobles - unless it was some unforgivable crime, such as the previous regent who swept away several families, including the Rollin family, after taking the throne, but that time, after all, there was a "rebellion" on the big hat, and the other nobles had nothing to say. It is also justified to receive it.

In other cases...... Even a mediocre emperor would never do such a self-digging thing.

Therefore, this "order" is only an initiative, and it does not make a hard order, stipulating how many troops everyone must send, which is basically just moving with emotion and knowing with reason. This imperial decree, although the movement is very large, is quite soft.

But discerning people understand that this is the royal family's operation on the Tulip family.

Who is the strongest private army in the world?

The answer is clear.

Since it is to go to the front line to fight, it is natural to transfer the strongest, not the Tulip family's soldiers, who will be transferred?

In early February, less than ten days after the issuance of this imperial decree, countless lords of all sizes on the continent were shaken, and everyone aimed their eyes at dìdū, faintly, I don't know how many pairs of eyes, were looking at Du Wei who was hiding in the duke's palace to "recuperate".

Du Wei still didn't see the guest.

Even, on a certain day, around the 14th day of February, the Duke Tulip was even in a leisurely mood and sent a team of people out to sweep down the streets of Dìdū. Almost in one day, all the flowers in the flower shop in Dìdū were swept and bought out!

This strange move has caused a lot of speculation, but it is said that according to a certain attendant sent by the Tulip family to buy flowers, this Tulip Duke, who seems to be going to have some "Valentine's Day", bought flowers from all the flower shops in the entire dìdū to please the two beautiful duke's fiancées

This kind of knot. This young duke still has the heart to play this kind of trick?!!

Many people sighed in their hearts, and they didn't know whether to admire Du Wei's calm breath or disdain Du Wei's nonsense.

However, there is another episode in this matter, because of Duke Tulip's move to buy flowers, all the flower shops in Dìdū were out of stock for a long time to come. Even some aristocrats wanted to buy flowers to please their wives or lovers. are faced with an embarrassing scene where flowers have a price and no market.

Many, many years later, there was an anecdote about a nobleman who said to his children, "That winter." In order to chase your mother, I sent not flowers, but dog's tail grass collected from the wild...... Hmph, at that time, even if someone offered a hundred gold coins and searched all over the city, there was nowhere to buy it!"

On the seventeenth day of February, the Duke of Tulip had bought out the stock of all the flower shops in Dìdū.

It was also the tenth day of the regent's announcement of the requisition of the private armies of the lords from all over the continent.

A group of messengers from the steppe came to dìdū in a high-profile manner, this group of steppe messengers. Coming by boat, with great fanfare along the way, after coming to dìdū, he straightforwardly handed over a "letter of state" to the hands of the Imperial Minister of Etiquette!

This letter was issued in the name of Saladin, the current "King of the Prairies". In this letter, Saladin declared that he had succeeded to the throne of the steppe king two months earlier, and had become the supreme king of the steppe, ruling over all the tribes of the steppe.

This national letter. It is the legitimacy of asking the empire to officially recognize his throne. At the same time, he asked and the Roland Empire changed a few years ago. The peace agreement between the two countries that Du Wei participated in the negotiation required the empire to open the trade routes for ore, iron tools, grain and other materials to the grasslands, and at the same time demanded that the empire change the northwest corridor into a "buffer zone between the two sides", and demanded that the empire should not station troops in the northwest corridor to show its sincerity for peace.

In addition, at the end of this letter of state, Saladin also said very bluntly: he heard that the northern front of the Roland Empire was fighting with foreign races, and His Majesty the King of the Steppe Saladin, with his benevolent heart, said that since it was against foreign races, then the various tribes of the grassland were also human camps, and he was willing to personally lead 500,000 iron horsemen from all tribes of the grassland to help in the war!!

Threat!!

Naked threats!!

After reading this letter, I almost didn't make the Minister of Etiquette so angry that his nose was crooked.

If it is said that asking for the opening of ores, iron tools, grain and other scarce materials in the grassland is already an almost rude lion opening its mouth, then letting the empire cede the northwest corridor as a buffer area for non-garrison land is tantamount to asking the empire to give up the gate of its home!

And in the end, as for personally leading 500,000 iron horsemen from various departments of the grassland to help fight Yunyun...... The meaning is even more blatant coercion!!

Let 500,000 steppe iron horsemen enter the country? What are you kidding!!

But anger is anger, and the Minister of Ceremonies still does not dare to delay this kind of thing, and after receiving the letter of state, he immediately went to the palace and presented it to the regent.

After reading the "letter of state" that did not make sense, the regent did not seem to be angry at all.

He just nodded, threw the national letter on the desk, and replied lightly: "I know, you can go back." ”

That's ...... That's it?

Don't you call a meeting of the bigwigs of the ministries?

Don't you discuss countermeasures?

Isn't it time to call the military to mobilize the army?

Even if you don't do it at all, at least you have to draft a reply to severely reprimand these steppe people!!

Not to mention that the Minister of Manners left the palace in a daze......

After the regent had driven away the Minister of Manners, he picked up the letter again, read it again, and then dropped it, smiling softly.

Saladin didn't have enough to say. The old tribe of the former steppe king was still stubbornly resisting in the northern part of the steppe, and he Saladin had not yet unified the steppe tribes, and he now controlled less than half of the territory of the steppe. 500,000 Iron Riders? Huh...... To deal with the other tribes that have not yet surrendered, if Saladin really wants to fight us, it is already a miracle that he can squeeze together 50,000 cavalry. ”

Sighing, the regent closed his eyes and thought for a while, and muttered, "Du Wei, Du Wei...... If you let Saladin deliberately make trouble, I can't transfer your tulip private army? What's your next move......

Du Wei sat in the courtyard, admiring the snow in winter, on the big tree in the courtyard, the treetops were still hanging white ice edges, Du Wei sat in a wheelchair, smiling, looking at the guests in front of him.

Mrs. Liszt and Du Wei sat opposite each other, she didn't have Du Wei's weird body, and it was still very cold to sit outside and enjoy the snow in this weather.

"Your Excellency, this is the case...... Are you just sitting in a dìdū and waiting?" said Madame Liszt, with a worried expression.

Her family has been tied to Du Wei to death, and now she can't withdraw even if she wants to.

In Mrs. Liszt's opinion, Du Wei's latest series of actions are too reckless!

Yes, you Du Wei is indeed the most popular minister in the empire, you have money, soldiers, and prestige.

But, after all, your arms can't twist your thighs!

Mrs. Liszt definitely doesn't want to really see Du Wei openly rebelling! The overall situation of the empire is quite stable now, and the regent is also a Ming monarch......

"My next move is myself. ”

Du Wei's face was calm, he smiled lightly, with a hint of tiredness in his eyes, but although the words were light, they went straight to people's hearts and lungs word by word!

"I'm in Dìdū, right here in Duke Tulip's Palace! He knows that no matter how powerful the Tulip family is, I'm the leader. No matter how fierce the trouble is, I'm in dìdū...... If I had really rebelled, I would have run away a long time ago. And now...... There is not a single guard outside the door of my house, but only an old servant guards the door. I left myself in dìdū...... If he really wants to get rid of my family, then the first thing to do is to send troops to slaughter my duke's mansion!!"

As he spoke, Du Wei sighed softly: "But I'm not leaving, I'm here, I'm here, my wife and my family, all here!

This is a problem.

This is a question that Du Wei clearly conveyed to the regent with himself, with a silent voice!

Fish on the board, Regent, are you cāo knife? or not cāo knife? If he doesn't move, I won't move. If he moves......" Du Wei gently raised a finger and flicked it at a branch and leaf on the treetop in front of him, silently, and a leaf turned into several petals under Du Wei's finger.

"If he moves...... Then, I had no choice but to move. ”

A gentle word, as if with infinite loneliness. endure Du Wei and Chen's centrifugation, but the general plot has developed here, but it is a natural trend, and it cannot be reversed...... Although I am the author, I am the creator of the characters and stories in my pen.

However, step by step, whether it is the characters or the story, later on, they naturally have their own fates and trends...... I can't dominate it.
