Under the crushing of the wheels. The ground creaked with ice and snow.

Last night's cold wind, the snow on the ground had already turned to ice. It has been run over by countless carts and horses. It gradually became muddy.

Morning time. There are no pedestrians on the streets. Those who get up early are vendors. But they had to brave the cold wind. Push the cart back and forth. Squad after squad of soldiers from the local police station, wearing leather boots. There was white breath in his mouth. Walk back and forth with your head back.

This year's winter was exceptionally cold. Some elderly people couldn't help but sigh. As if in memory, dìdū has never been so cold.

The snow covered the city over and over again, and even the Lancang Canal froze over, and the wharf was there. A fleet of naval vessels stationed in Dìdū had already sent icebreakers with sharp timbers on their bows to patrol the river. Break the ice surface to ensure the smooth flow of the river.

River transport workers are busy on all fours almost every day. Although the Finance Department distributed batches of land money and grain, it also distributed chills to the workers of the River Transport Department who spent the winter. But since these rìzi, there are still many people with frostbite.

On this day, it was too cold.

In previous years, dìdū. Winter rì is the coldest season. It's just a light snow or two. It seems to be a lot of snow this year. But the land has not been seen in generations.

Shops owned by major families in dìdū. The boss has a sad face. Just because the roads are clogged with snow. The caravans of many chambers of commerce were blocked on the road, and for a while, the prices of many things in the city increased one after another.

Fortunately, the river transport is still barely supporting it, but the cargo ships are still less than one rì. I heard that the river to the east was frozen again yesterday. Two of the river transport department's icebreakers were frozen in the river. The river is so hard that you can run horses!

The current boss of the headquarters, Lord Camiciro, issued an order, and two divisions and regiments were transferred from the Wangcheng Guards stationed near Dìdū. Plus local garrisons in nearby towns. A total of about 100,000 troops were deployed.

These soldiers were in this cold weather. I threw away my swords, guns, weapons, and armor. Dressed cotton farmer, carrying a shovel. It became a laborer who cleared the snowy road.

When the snow falls on the first day. Everyone hasn't taken it to heart yet. It's a rare snowfall. It also makes many people feel fresh. But the snow didn't stop. Rìzi gradually became a little sad.

dìdū and several nearby acropolises. The price of grain land rose by 30 percent in three days, and by the fifth day, even the price of vegetables had doubled. As for the meat...... Then don't even think about it.

Tooth bf_bf_]!

That's probably what every resident of Dìdū thinks.

In the palace, the wise regent issued the decree one by one. This year, several batches of money and grain from various provinces in the south have been transferred to dìdū. He also ordered the garrisons in various localities to send out reservists to clear the roads.

This rìzi. It's like the national fortune of this year, which makes people can't help but feel apprehensive.

There is a war ahead. Although there have always been intermittent small victories, those Longwu races have never retreated and fought for several months. Still fighting, gradually. Some people are a little more flexible. began to have thoughts: This battle is not small. Maybe a year, two years?

Some of the old people began to recall the great battle between the Earth Empire and the Northwest Steppe twenty years ago, the largest and most protracted war in the Empire in decades.

This bad weather. Coupled with the shortage of materials, it makes people's hearts. It's also a little floating.

Heard. This year's New Year's ceremony. Even the usual fireworks festival has been canceled.

This news is true. In previous years, the empire would purchase large quantities of fireworks from the tulip family's property in the form of official purchases. But this year, there was a clear news from the palace, which was said by the regent himself: the war ahead is urgent, and at this time, the fireworks celebration is not in line with the atmosphere, this year. It's free.

Such an order made the Tulip family's local business manager Zach Xiao frowned, and saw that the income on the account book was less than 100,000 gold coins.

That's fine...... Anyway, now all the big businessmen are holding their belts. Roads are blocked, and goods from all over the country cannot come in. Everyone is losing, and it's just a matter of losing more and losing less.

The Tulip family has a lot of money, and throwing a little money doesn't hurt the imprisonment - this amount of money, not even the skin.

But what makes little Zach helpless is his own boss!

Our Lord Tulip. It seems that since he contracted the disease, this mind has become more and more unpredictable.

In the past, little Zach was convinced of any decision made by Du Weidi. Because it turned out that the young Duke was a master of collecting money, and he had an idea, or he could make up something at will. It's the gold coins rolling in.

But in the second half of this year...... The money is only spent but not earned...... That's a bit wrong.

The Duke seems to have lost much interest in making money. I don't see him coming up with any more ideas. There are no new inventions. Seeing that he was suspicious of losing money, he Xiao Zack is the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry (okay. There is no such profession as a eunuch in this world). But he was in a hurry all day long at a part-time job. The boss is leisurely, as if he is nothing. Not avoided. It's a bit of a problem, isn't it?

At the end of the year, I liquidated this year's harvest, and if it wasn't for the first half of the year, I got that what kind of martial arts conference. I made a lot of money by relying on gambling and ticket revenue. I'm afraid that this year's local income will become a deficit.

Little Zach had already run to see Du Wei a few times. Every time the Duke listened to his own nagging, he was pouting and looking impatient: "Money." What do you want to do so much, you will lose points, can't I lose myself?"

The loss is affordable, and the boss is worth it. Even if it's ten years in a row. He may not be bankrupt. But you can be the head of business. If it's really always a loss. Where to put the cheeks?

In the chambers of commerce of the wealthy families in Dìdū, every year everyone will privately arrange a term to calculate the harvest of each family this year, and Du Wei knew about this matter a long time ago. At that time, the Duke smiled in private: Is this the Forbes rich list of different generations?

Usual. There is little Zach, this person jīng is in charge. The tulip family since its rise. Every year, he is calmly and steadily in the first place, and Xiao Zack is also regarded as a god of wealth by people from all major wealthy families.

But this year, with a war, this weapon business, although the Tulip family has also been involved in the past few years. But after all, it is not as thick as the guy in Delan Mountain Warcraft, and the empire is expanding its army and ordering weapons and equipment on a large scale. Outcome. This ranking at the end of the year. The big fat man of the Delan Mountain Demon Beast finally turned over, and this year's income finally pressed the Tulip family down and sat on the top spot.

The fat man was naturally proud, and deliberately put on a feast at home. Treat to dinner, although the Delan Mountain Warcraft and the Tulip family have a good relationship, but this kind of face still cares, so that Xiao Zack can't help but feel a little guilty when he sees it.

I faintly complained about Du Wei's "not doing his job".

This did not wrong Du Wei...... These rìzi come. Du Wei fell to the ground, and he was indeed a little "not doing his job".

Especially...... The two "duchesses" came after the dìdū.

"To the left...... Right, right, right...... Well. A little further to the left...... Ouch. Down! Down......! Yes, here it is. ...... with some effort"

Du Wei is not in a wheelchair. But the whole person was lying on a soft collapse. The upper body and clothes were rolled up. Showing a bare back.

in this room. The fireplace was blazing, and even the carpet on the floor was scorched. The wall is a mezzanine wall designed by Du Wei himself, imitating the kind of insulated wall he knew in his previous life. And the foundation of the house is also paved with a layer of cj force i0

This fireplace burns. The heat seeped into the mezzanine, making the whole house as warm as chūn, and the outside was covered with goose feathers and snow, but inside it was warm enough to wear a small coat.

At this moment, the Duke was lying on the soft floor, but he was so comfortable that he smiled and squinted. Humming and chirping in the mouth.

Beside. Qiao Qiao's face was agitated, but he pressed his hand on Du Weidi's back, and his slender fingers went back and forth. Under the command of Du Wei's humming and chirping, he tickled his own man.

It's hateful that this guy screamed "up and down, left and right", but finally annoyed Miss Qiaoqiao, Leng Buding suddenly raised his eyebrows, jumped up, and said angrily: "I think you deliberately sent me to play!"

Let's talk about it. Kicked up.

Du Wei grinned. Turning sideways, he reached out and grabbed Qiaoqiao's ankle. Pull gently. Qiao Qiao suddenly lost his footing, and the whole person fell into Du Wei's arms. Du Wei moved into the soft collapse. By the way, he held Jojo in his arms. Kissed her on the cheek. Smiled: "Good Jojo." Scratch your husband's back. Are you so impatient?"

The fire made Jojo's face crimson. I don't know if it's shy or hot. A pair of eyes glanced at Du Wei with watery eyes, and said hatefully: "You guy, you just don't have a good heart......"

Just halfway through speaking, he suddenly exclaimed, and his eyebrows showed a little shame and anger. It turned out that Du Wei took advantage of her to speak, but one hand had already reached through the placket of her clothes.

Jojo twisted. Frown. The voice also took a little gasp, and said hatefully: "Are you well?

As soon as I said that. But Du Wei's mind suddenly faded, and he smiled bitterly. Retracted his hand and hugged Qiaoqiao's waist. He sighed, and his face was full of annoyance. hateful said: "Damn, this rì can't pass!"

I can't get by, I can't get by!

Two little wives like flowers. Or sister flowers. Come all the way to see yourself. The so-called long-term farewell is better than the newlywed, but you can come to these rì by yourself. rì recuperation. Recuperate at night. Raised and raised, but the hellish body still didn't get better.

Wheelchair access. I've long been tired of him - that's all. But when I saw the two little wives by my side, I couldn't bear it—this sin. What man can stand it?

Although it's not bad to take advantage of siblings occasionally, but this siblings are too cheap, but they have made themselves so angry that they have nowhere to go

"I finally experienced the pain of eunuchs. Du Wei sighed.

As he spoke. The door opened, and a pretty figure slowly walked in.

Vivien wore a snow-white fox fur robe. The soft white fox fur covered her little face inside, and the originally jīng small face was even more touching against the backdrop of the fox skin on the snow-white ground.

Vivien entered the door. I saw Du Wei and Qiao Qiao rolling on the soft collapse. I couldn't help but blush. Standing at the door, he was stunned for a moment. It seems to be a little overwhelming.

Du Wei saw Vivien. Immediately, it was as if he had been pardoned. He quickly shouted, "Come here." My little silly, your sister bullied me, a disabled person!"

Jojo blushed. Hatefully kicked Du Wei. sneered: "How did I bully you!" After speaking. Another kick: "How did I bully you!"

Vivien chuckled at it. Although his face was still flushed. But he finally came over. Said softly: "Sister." You, you don't. Stop kicking him. ”

Although there is still a little stammering, but the soft voice. But it's still beautiful.

Vivien is here. Although Qiao Qiao is xìng Zilie. But he was embarrassed to lie in Du Weidi's arms anymore, so he quickly jumped up. After walking around the house twice, he frowned: "This snow is boring to death, and there is nothing fun in the dìdū...... Alas. I knew it early. It's better to stay in the Northwest. ”

When I looked back, I couldn't help but bump up angrily. It turned out that as soon as she got up, Du Wei pulled Vivian into his arms. But he saw the little villain looking at himself. Youyou said: "Why is there no fun in the snow? Build a snowman." Snowball fight. You can also make ice sculptures......

"Kids' stuff. Jojo was a little disdainful: "What's the point of having a snowball fight...... Alas. If only I had someone to drive with me. But in dìdū, you can't even find a good opponent. ”

Du Wei couldn't help but want to laugh when he heard this.

Jojo can be described as "notorious" in the Northwest. This violent woman. Born to be idle.

When I was in the Northwest, I liked two things the most: one was naturally to practice the Decepticon team that Du Wei had thrown to her.

The second case is to find someone to fight.

Moreover, although this Miss Qiaoqiao is active. But she is not a fool, she also knows her two skills, although it is above the eighth level, but in the group of people around Du Weidi. That is to say, there is less than the above, and there is room for material than the bottom.

Hussein Rodriguez. Jojo can't beat it, she also knows that she is well-known. I didn't talk to those two people, but the people below were unlucky.

When in the Northwest, Jojo's favorite number one punching bag. It's the fat man Longbottom who blamed Patton's martial arts skills about level seven, which is not much different from Qiaoqiao. It's also the easiest to fight.

When the poor fat man was in the northwest, he was going to be hit by this Miss Qiaoqiao once in a while, and there were many times. Even the fat man was so annoyed that he simply hid everywhere in the end. It even developed to the point that as soon as he saw Qiao Qiao from afar, the fat man immediately turned his face away.

This time, the fat man was sent to the front line by Du Wei to lead the rabble of civilian mercenaries. Although there is a punishment meaning. But the fat man himself is also willingly--without him, it is best to leave the northwest and avoid this Miss Jojo.

Came to dìdū. The three husband and wife are reunited, and Qiao Qiao was originally angry and wanted to sprinkle the ground on Du Wei: this bastard guy is from the northwest. It's been a year since I left! Last year, I didn't see anyone at the New Year's Land! It's really hateful.

But when I came, I saw that Du Wei was "seriously ill". Qiao Qiao couldn't care about getting angry, and besides, there was Vivien, who was soft-hearted when she saw Du Wei. Even if Jojo wanted to be angry with Du Wei, Vivien would never let him.

I held back in dìdū for so many days. Gradually, he became a little irritable, and Du Wei's body was inconvenient. can't accompany the two of them to mess around. Qiao Qiao's xìng was originally idle, and these days, although he is by Du Wei's side, you are strong and I am strong, but after all, there is a time when there is enough. Moreover...... Du Wei's current situation has reached a certain level. But it can't be really [**], and it has become torture.

Thinking about it quietly, Miss Qiao always wants to find something to do.

Originally, Du Wei had a griffin farm in the Brokeback Mountain Courtyard. That thing is naturally a new thing, and it must be in line with Qiao Qiao's heart, but Du Wei knows in his heart that this little girl is very noisy, and the griffin field is still a secret, if this eldest lady who is afraid of the world will not be chaotic to come to the door and toss it, I am afraid that something will happen.

So, this thing. Du Wei never said, even if it was flat. When little Zach came to report to the place, he also tried to avoid Jojo as much as possible.

Except for Jojo. There was another thing that bothered Du Wei......

"You don't believe it. Let's take a gamble!"

"Hmph, bet, bet! If you lose. What will you pay me?"

"Joke! Why do I have to lose? But you, what if you lose?"

There was a commotion outside the door, and Du Wei's head was as big as a fight when he heard it.

Really. The door was pushed open. Liszt's tomboy muse crashed head-on. I found a chair and sat down. This Nizi looked indignant. He said angrily: "Du Wei, you don't care about your brother!"

As he spoke, Gary walked in from outside, crossed his hands. He smiled faintly, "Oh." Came to sue again?"

The muse blushed and jumped up in a fit of rage. Brushing the ground, he drew his sword. Glaring at Gabby: "Don't be too arrogant! I really thought my muse was afraid of you! Hmph!"

Gabry scoffed. There was a faint smile in his eyes. But he stretched out his finger. Flick on the Muse's sword. With a buzz, the muse's Jianfen was swept away.

Although Muse has also practiced martial arts since she was a child, after all, she is a girl, and there is no Master who teaches stunts. But Gabry has been the number one training object of the Rollin family since he was born, and the martial arts are the family heirloom skills of the Rollin family. I have been cultivating since I was a child, and now I am now. Martial arts are already outstanding among their peers. Such a bomb. The muse sword suddenly couldn't be pinched.

Du Wei sighed. glanced at his brother and muse: "What are you making trouble for?"

It turned out that this time with the two sisters of Jojo Vivian returned to dìdū together, and the three sisters of the Liszt family also came together, Mrs. Liszt was originally the focus of the dìdū back then, and this return to dìdū immediately caused a repercussion, becoming a distinguished guest of various large and small banquets of the nobles, and her Liszt family had not returned to the emperor for a long time, as the head of the family. Mrs. Liszt also had to fight jīng. Deal with it well, and maneuver around here.

And the Angel who has had a crush on Du Wei since she was a child. For two years. As I grew up a little. Probably gradually talked about it, and rarely came to obsess Du Wei again. It's just that xìngzi has become no longer so lively and lovely, a good innocent and cute little sister. But he gradually became a person like Lin Daiyu. I like to lock myself in the room and read books, and my words are gradually decreasing.

But this muse, xìngzi is the same as it was back then. It's like an impetuous and arrogant tomboy.

It's only been back for a few days, and in the Duke's Palace, but unexpectedly, with this guy Gabri. The two don't know how. That's it.

For a time, this duke's palace can be described as chickens and dogs. Muse xìng son impatient. In the northwest, even Du Wei dared to call out, where was he willing to be obedient to Du Weidi's younger brother? The two liked to quarrel with each other all day long. I don't know how many fights we've had.

Especially Muse, she seems to have looked at Du Wei unpleasantly since she was a child. However, as Du Wei's authority became more and more powerful, his power also increased, and gradually, the muse did not dare to make trouble against Du Wei.

But now. Met Du Wei's younger brother...... I can't afford to mess with the big ones, and I can't afford to mess with the small ones?! Hum!

The two of them seemed to have a feud in their previous lives. As soon as they met, the war began, big and small. Trivialities can also be used to argue and quarrel, two days ago. The two even had a fight in the yard. forced the muse to even exert his fighting spirit, but he was still knocked down by Gabby with a slap on the sword.

Later, I asked. The reason for the fight, but it was actually that the two went out and came back together. At the door, Gabrie laughed at the muse's riding skills.

As a result, after the fight, half of the flowers and plants in the yard were lifted, and at night Du Wei had a fire, and the two stopped.

The results ...... today It's going to be a mess again.

What a wrongdoer!

"Brother, she laughed at me and said that I didn't lead the army in the right way. Hmph! What does this girl know! That's what we learned at the military academy!"

"Hmph, the academy is learning to lead soldiers?" The muse was even more disdainful: "I am the cavalry commander of General Ruolin in the northwest." You say I don't know how to lead troops? How many people have you really brought with you?"

"What do women know!"

"What do children know!"

"You ......"

"You ......"

The two of them chatted in the room, but Du Wei smiled strangely. Watch the two bicker. The fight came later. Du Wei suddenly made a sè and slapped it the soft collapse.

Smack. Both of them were shocked at the same time. When he looked at Du Wei, he looked a little apprehensive.

"Ahem!" Du Wei tried his best to make a little bit of parental majesty, coughed, thought and thought. In the end, he squeezed out this sentence from his mouth: "What is the noise! It's time! It's time to eat! Whoever says more, don't eat today!"

When the muse heard this, he snorted. glanced at Du Wei and said angrily: "You are brothers, you are naturally helping him!"

After saying that, he stomped his feet and rushed out.

There seemed to be a smile between Gabby's eyebrows. was about to chase out, but now Du Wei really sank his face: "Gabry!"

"Uh...... Uh, brother?"

Du Wei sighed, sat up straight on the soft collapse, and looked at his younger brother intently. Seeing this kid's strange face, he suddenly spoke straightforwardly and said coldly: "Have you taken a fancy to this tomboy?"

Gabrie laughed dryly, but simply straightened his neck: "That's right!"

Du Wei frowned again. This time, Gabriel misunderstood what Du Weidi meant, and quickly explained: "I didn't mean to bully her, it's just that she is a girl like her." But he has a strong temper. If you want to get into the center of her earth, you have to be tough. She might be hating me right now, but I promise. She's been there these days. I'm afraid I dream of me when I sleep at night. ”

Du Wei glared at his younger brother, and suddenly smiled bitterly and sighed in his heart: My younger brother is actually a master of picking up girls.

"Do you really like the Muse?" Du Wei grimaced.

"That's right. Gabrie stared at his brother for a while, and suddenly his face changed, and he blurted out, "Brother, is she your woman?

"!" Du Wei immediately scolded, and Qiao Qiao's face next to him became a little weird, and Du Wei hurriedly shouted: "What nonsense!"

Gabry shrunk his neck: "It's not your woman." ”

"But...... Where's your unmarried Qin?" Du Wei sighed: "After the New Year, your chéngrén ceremony will not be able to drag on." ”

Gabbrey gave Du Wei a strange look: "So what? I can't only marry one." ”

These words choked Du Wei directly.

Your brother and I barely managed to have two women after I became adults.

This kid is not yet an adult. But you've already thought about marrying two?

Gabry's face was straight at the moment, and he laughed in a low voice: "Brother." You don't have to worry about that, in my opinion. Mrs. Liszt. But she didn't seem to object, and when she saw me two days ago, she whispered to me for a while. I asked what I liked to eat and wear, and I deliberately asked me to take care of her tomboy sister in dìdū. It seems that the Marquise should not object. ”

Du Wei continued to sigh.

This winter hasn't passed yet. Why did these small lands start to send chūn one by one?

In the palace. A court ceremonial officer. Walked lightly into the palace.

This palace is none other than His Majesty the current Emperor. Little Charlie's residence.

The little emperor had just finished today's homework and sent a court swordsmanship teacher away, and this ceremonial officer dared to come up.

"What's the matter?" Charlie casually threw the sword to the local servant beside him, he took a hot towel and wiped the sweat on the ground, and then two handsome maids carried a cotton robe and put it on him.

"Your Majesty. Here is a list of this year's New Year's celebrations. The ceremonial officer bowed respectfully and held his hands over: "The Regent means it." This year's dinner. I don't know if you have any special guests to invite, Your Majesty.

Charlie sneered in his heart - the guest list?

But on the face. But without revealing the slightest, he took it and looked at it carefully. It's about the same as in previous years. It's just that there is one more name: Madame Liszt.

Mrs. Liszt's husband was a royal nobleman. Speaking of which, she can be regarded as a relative of the royal family, and this time she came back to dìdū. New Year's Dinner. Naturally, she is a distinguished guest.

Charlie pondered for a while, and suddenly his eyes showed a bit of eagerness. I couldn't help but think of the day I saw the heroic and beautiful girl at Du Wei's house.

Well. The girl...... The men inquired and found out that it was called Muse, the sister of Madame Liszt.

Thinking about it, he picked up his pen and added a few more words to the roster.
