When Du Wei sat in the governor's palace of Nulin Province and faced Bohan again, this time, the meeting between the two was undoubtedly much more pleasant than the last one.

After a moment of polite greetings, Du Wei once again expressed his gratitude and gratitude to Bohan for the last time he sent troops to help, and highly praised Bohan's righteous deeds, and at the same time expressed his willingness to bear the bereavement of all the fallen soldiers......

After the scene was finished, Du Wei picked up the tea made of sand and honey in front of him, took a sip lightly, and then said with a smile: "Honorable Governor Bohan." My staff member, Philip, told me about your plan for the cooperation I proposed...... Do you have any special requirements?"

When Du Wei said this, his brows were furrowed. There was a faint dissatisfaction in his heart.

He thinks that the conditions he has offered are already very generous. Although it was because of the sparse population of his own territory, he had to recruit troops on the territory of the governor of Bohan, but he also proposed some compensation plans, for example, Bohan could not directly mobilize financial forces to raise troops due to legal reasons, in order not to give the Northwest Army a chance to obstruct the army, all the armies of the signs were in the name of the private army of the Tulip family, and the army of the signs, Du Wei and Bohan were one and a half, and Du Wei was also responsible for the supply and equipment of all the army (including Bohan's army).

Such a condition is completely equivalent to using Du Wei's money to raise soldiers for Bohan. It's just that the population of Bohan's territory is used.

Isn't he satisfied? What else do you want?

Du Wei believes that Bohan must have been attracted by this proposal, because Bohan, who lives under the front of the Northwest Army, needs to strengthen the army to protect himself more urgently than himself.

"I think the conditions I have offered are enough to express the sincerity of the Tulip family. Du Wei carefully grasped the proportions of his tone: "Honorable Governor Bohan. Your people. Conscription of your soldiers, I spend money to feed these troops, and the cost of military expenses and weapons and equipment is provided by me...... I'm afraid that the whole continent will not find such conditions. ”

"But thou shalt also mark my people in my land. Bohan replied unceremoniously.

"No, it should be said - the people of the Empire." Du Wei said lightly: "I remember that you were the governor of the empire, not the lord. ”

"So I have to be more responsible for the people in my jurisdiction. Bohan remained silent and picked up his teacup.

Du Wei sighed.

Bohan's request is indeed somewhat ...... The taste of the lion's big mouth.

The conditions he put forward made Du Wei a little embarrassed.

Bohan asked Dewey to provide him with some extra help: a good cavalry general to help him train his recruits...... At the same time, he also needs Du Wei to provide him with "magical assistance".

Magical aid? That's to ask Du Wei for a magician!

"The question of the cavalry commander is not difficult. Du Wei said: "If the plan is carried out, I am going to build a permanent military fortress in the border area of our two provinces for special military training. I don't have many people under me who are good at cavalry. But General Longbottom's prestige is heard of throughout the Northwest...... Although I can't lend you this two-hundred-and-five general. But I can allow your army to use this military fortress, in this future military fortress. Trained together by General Longbottom. ”

Bohan thought for a moment, and then he nodded: "I agree, this proposal is feasible. But how can the problem of magical aid be solved?"

Du Wei touched his nose and said with a wry smile: "Governor Bohan...... I'm a magician, but please understand that I can't come to Nureen Province to help you in person, can I?"

"But according to my intelligence, you now have at least thirty mages under your command. Bohan said lightly.

"Most of them are apprentices in magic. And does not have real combat effectiveness. Du Wei shook his head. Then he smiled slyly: "And...... They are students belonging to the Imperial Academy of Magic, after their internship in the Northwest. They also have to go back to dìdū to continue their studies...... Even if I agree, I'm afraid the Lord Regent and the Academy of Magic won't agree to let these students stay in the Northwest forever. ”

"Your Excellency. Bohan stood up, and he deliberately looked at the closed door. "It's just the two of us here, so I don't think there's any need for us to say these nonsense things." Let's be honest, with what I know about you as a person, I believe ...... These twenty-eight students will definitely not return to dìdū. You're not going to let anyone go, are you?"

"Twenty-six. Du Wei flashed a trace of sadness when he saw it: "In the battle of Gilliat City, I lost two excellent students. ”

"Yes...... But you won't let these twenty-six go back again. Bohan said slowly: "Moreover, in addition to these twenty-six students, I know that there are several excellent magicians under your command...... For example, the Vivian mage with the strength of the eighth level. ”

Du Wei's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of jīng, and he said in a deep voice: "Governor Bohan, do you think I will agree to send my future wife to a place six hundred miles away from me?"

“...... Wife?" Bohan was slightly stunned, then frowned.

Damn it, didn't the intelligence say that this Duke of Tulip might be marrying the Liszt family, and how could that magician become his wife?

"So...... What about the leading teachers of those students? They are two decent mid-level gray mages. Bohan immediately gave up on asking for Vivien. He also understood that since Du Wei even said such a thing as "wife", he should not fight this kind of idea as soon as possible.

No man would want to give his wife to someone else's hands to fight to the death.

Du Wei smiled: "Governor Bohan...... You may not know the identities of the two leading teachers, they are disciples of Master Erik of the Magic Guild...... The official magician of the Magic Guild is also the teacher of the Magic Academy! The Magic Academy will never be willing to cede two excellent magic teachers under any circumstances!"

This time he was telling the truth.

Although Du Wei had indeed thought about keeping this group of students in the northwest for a long time. But Erik's two apprentices, he really didn't think about it. These two are going back to the academy to continue teaching students.

"Why don't you ask dìdū for help?"

Du Wei simply put forward his question bluntly.

In his opinion, the governor of Bohan sat in the northwest, in order to fight against the Northwest army. Asking for help from dìdū and secretly reporting to Prince Chen, such an important matter, in order to stabilize the situation in the northwest and fight against the warlord of the Northwest Army...... Let Prince Chen send a few court magicians, such a request, the smart Prince Chen should not refuse.

Bohan was smiling wryly. There was some tiredness in his expression, and he sighed softly. This time he stood up, walked to the window, and said softly, "Lord Duke." You...... I don't think I know where I came from. ”

After a pause, he whispered, "I came from the south to the northwest back then...... Recommend my locals. It is the late Grand Prince Yawen. From a political standpoint...... Me, hehe...... It should be counted as being attributed to the Great Prince's faction. Now Prince Tatsu is the regent. He didn't remove me from the northwest or arrest me directly, but let me continue to sit in the northwest and command the military and political power here, which is already very wise and powerful! If I want a magician again...... Will he give it?"

No!

Although Du Wei didn't say it, he immediately gave this answer in his heart!

Indeed, even if Prince Chen is a smart person, his qi is large enough. But in the face of the remnants of the great prince's lineage. In order to take into account the big picture. Without the position of governor of Bohan, it is already considered magnanimous. Give him the magician again...... That's absolutely impossible!

"And...... Even if Prince Chen sent a magician. Bohan smiled lightly: "I'm afraid of the people sent." And I have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of surveillance-mine! When the time comes, what else will I do with my vests?! Those court magicians, I don't have to think about it. Magic Guild, I don't care. ”

Speaking of this, Bohan suddenly bowed deeply to Du Wei, and he couldn't hide the tiredness in his eyes: "Du Wei ......"

He actually abandoned the official title and called Du Wei's name like this, but it made Du Wei's heart move.

"Du Wei ......," Bohan said slowly, "I have been in the Northwest for many years...... In my heart, although I was recommended by the Great Prince, I never regarded myself as a faction. I, Bohan, am a native of the Roland Empire, and I am an official of the Empire. If I liked to drill camp politics, I wouldn't have come to the barren land of the northwest! Back then, I had a way to stay in the bustling dìdū! But ...... If the Northwest Rebellion is not eradicated, one day after all, it will become a serious problem for the Empire! Over the years, I have worked hard to manage and can only clamp down on the Northwest Army step by step, but the real actual progress may not be much. I see that I am getting older day by day...... In this part of the northwest, there is always going to be a big chaos. I...... It's not that I don't understand it in my heart, but I really can't do anything about it!"

Speaking of this, Bohan's face was full of sincerity, and he said, "I know that when you came to the northwest, I set a trap for you...... You've probably resented me in your heart. I, Boham, can apologize to you here. At that time, you had just come to the Northwest, and I naturally felt dissatisfied. I always felt that dìdū was probably ready to cut my power. In addition, seeing that you Du Wei is really young, I am resentful in my heart, thinking that at your age, what can you do in the northwest. That's what I did...... Hey, move. ”

After a pause, Bohan sighed: "After a year, I have watched Du Wei's every move in the northwest, and the province of Desa has risen under your governance, and I am convinced of you in my heart." I thought about it again and again, in this place in the northwest, although you and I used to have a gap, but after all, the goal is the same, if you continue to be so vindictive, it really makes no sense, so I decided to ......"

At this point, Governor Bohan walked up to Du Wei, bowed deeply, and said sincerely: "Lord Duke, state affairs are important!"

Looking at the old Governor Bohan, Du Wei's heart trembled, and he suddenly stood up, looked at the other party deeply, and said slowly: "Five people." Couldn't be more...... And, rotate every three months. Furthermore...... I'd like to figure out how to find you a real magician. Your Excellency the Governor...... State affairs are important!"

Bohan breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly smiled, but this smile was full of solemnity.

Du Wei ...... You and I talk profoundly...... Let's be honest. Even if we can level the northwest in the future! Once the situation in the northwest is stabilized, I am afraid that I, the governor, will be dismissed. I know in my heart that although Prince Chen is wise...... But politics is politics! He still uses me because I am needed here in the Northwest. Wait until one day you don't need me...... I, the governor, will do it! Anyway, I'm not young anymore, and I'll leave this place in the northwest to you, my lord!"

When Du Wei came out of Governor Bohan's study, Bohan personally sent Du Wei out of the Governor's Palace. Du Wei did not stop long, but immediately set out on the return journey.

In the carriage, Philip listened to Du Wei finish talking to Bohan, and couldn't help but be moved: "My lord...... Did you really promise him?!"

Du Wei nodded, and he suddenly smiled: "Otherwise, I promised to give it to others...... He also promised that the gunpowder jars that we had newly developed and which had made a great show under the city of Gilliat could also be provided to him as appropriate, and he was willing to pay for them. ”

Philip frowned, endured it for a long time, and finally smiled bitterly: "You...... Isn't that a little too generous?"

After saying this, even Du Wei himself couldn't help laughing.

Speaking of which, I really don't want to be my own style!

Doing things by yourself has always been a goose plucking, and you will never suffer a loss if you only take advantage of it. This time, it was a tearful gift, not only to the other party's magic students, but also to provide gunpowder.

Of course...... The formula for gunpowder will never be handed over. The product can be provided, but the technology is not! Du Wei still has a good grasp of this.

"I'll help him...... Just because he is a good official. Du Wei sighed: "At least he is not the kind of aristocratic lord who is bent on planning for himself...... Well. It's a pity that he's a capable guy...... State affairs are the most important!"
