By the time Du Wei's carriage drove all the way into Lou Lan City, the sky had already darkened. Du Wei's guards and elders opened the way in front, and the castle was in front of them, and the guards on the periphery of the castle saw that it was the duke's carriage, so how could they dare to block it?

Du Wei's castle was built to his very satisfaction, he had traveled to the West in his previous life, and had seen those magnificent castles in the Middle Ages, and he had always been quite yearning for it, and after he took power this time, he naturally had to greatly satisfy himself. This castle is a little bigger than the one in the Rollin Plain, and several boreholes have been drilled around, a ravine has been dug around the castle, groundwater has been introduced, and a moat has been made, so that the land of tigers and wolves in the northwest has more self-protection ability, even if there is a war in the future and the outer city is unfortunately breached, the castle inside can be defended for an extra year and a half.

Behind a wooden bridge over the moat is the gate on the perimeter of the castle, built in the style of the British royal family's Buckingham Palace seen in his previous life, and this gate is guarded by several soldiers in bright armor.

When he arrived at the castle, Du Wei had just gotten out of the carriage, and Ma De had already greeted him, and Du Wei asked a few words, knowing that the dinner was ready.

In the past few days, Lou Lan City has been very lively, everywhere is full of lights, even those serious soldiers patrolling the city, have also put on new uniforms, and the duke in the city is decorated with a new one, these rì, and from time to time a large number of citizens come to the outside of the duke's castle, facing the castle and praying loudly.

After Du Wei came to the northwest, he created miracles again and again, and the grain harvest made life worry-free for a year, and the establishment of the new city was a decree of tax exemption, and the people highly respected him, and even more Longbottom took his cavalry out to "train" at every turn , exterminated a lot of small groups of horse thieves, these credits, most of the people in the northwest are counted on Du Wei's head, in this way, the people here almost worship the young duke to the extreme, I only hope that this duke can stay in the northwest, live a long and peaceful life, then their lives can be rich and stable.

Therefore, these days, the wind was released, saying that the Duke was about to celebrate his fifteenth birthday in two days, and the chéngrén ceremony was officially held, and after the news was released, the residents of the City of Miracles near and far were boiling, and the festive atmosphere of the entire Lou Blue City was even much stronger than the annual summer celebrations, and there were even people gathered around the castle to worship and bless the young Duke.

Du Wei's life, needless to say, has been busy in the castle for many days, originally Du Wei didn't want to make it too complicated, but Philip said to him, since Du Wei is a superior person, he has a deep meaning, and after all, the coming-of-age ceremony is like this once in his life, if it is too simple, it will lose the prestige of the duke.

"Young master, the dinner party has been prepared, according to your instructions, I heard that the people of the Liszt family are all from the south, I asked people to get some southern-style delicacies......" Ma De was about to report in detail, when suddenly a few cavalrymen ran from behind, came to the castle and jumped off their horses, and saluted Du Weishi: "My lord, the Liszt family's chariots and horses have arrived outside the door!"

Du Wei nodded: "Well, it's finally here!"

Then he didn't have time to go in to change his clothes, so he stayed at the door to greet him.

In the evening, the honor guard in the castle blew the trumpets, and two huge flags hung on both sides of the gate, one with golden tulips and the other with the flag of the Liszt family, and two groups of soldiers in honor uniforms lined up at the gate to greet them.

Originally, Du Wei didn't plan to make it so heavy, after all, he was only a half-old child, but when he thought that among the two people who came, he was the younger brother and sister of the Marquise Liszt, especially the younger brother of the Marquise Liszt, who was the only male member of the Liszt family, and he would definitely be the heir of the family in the future!

It's just a pity that Dardanelles, the old man of the Liszt family, was unexpectedly not in the city today, and took people to the Northwest Corridor three days ago to welcome a batch of oxen-like horses purchased by Du Wei.

At the sound of the guard of honor, a group of white horse cavalry slowly passed through the gate into the duke and leaned down to the castle, these cavalrymen were all wearing silver sè armor of the agreed standard, each of them seemed to be young handsome men carefully selected by Jīng, and they all wore the coat of arms of the Liszt family on their chests, and the horses under the crotch were all white sè horses, all of which were snow-white, without even a trace of miscellaneous hair, and on the head of each horse, there was also a long white sè feather......

As soon as Du Wei saw the dress of this group of cavalrymen, he knew that this must be the personal guard of the Monkey Countess in the Liszt family, known as the "White Feather Knights"! Because the Liszt family is the only one in the Liszt family who has a noble title, and he can only be a lifelong nobleman, not hereditary, so according to the imperial decree, the Liszt family is not allowed to have a private army. Of course, although the law is like this, how can such a wealthy family not have its own protective power? Therefore, this white-feathered knight order is named in the name of "mercenaries" under the name of the Liszt family.

Imperial Decree: No private mercenaries are allowed except for hereditary nobles!, but Imperial decrees allow wealthy people to hire mercenary groups on their own.

In fact, everyone knows that this White Feather Knights is not a mercenary group at all, it is completely the private army of the Liszt family, but it is just an additional name, and no one will really use this kind of thing to offend the Liszt family and make trouble. However, due to the laws of the Empire, no more than 500 mercenaries can be hired. Therefore, the number written on the official roster of the White Feather Knights has been kept at 499.

And Du Wei also knows that this so-called 499 people also have flower heads in them. The so-called policy at the top, there are countermeasures at the bottom. The edicts of the empire are still relatively lenient towards things like knights, after all, although the era of knighthood has passed, it has also been glorious. The biggest trick is that a knight, in addition to himself, is also allowed to have up to 4 servants, even if these servants are the knight's deputies, or the partners at the head of the battle, they are responsible for scrubbing and repairing the knight's weapons and armor, feeding the horses, and training combat skills, and killing the enemy together as the knight's subordinates or companions during battle......

And the subtlety is...... The number of servants is not counted on the official list of the Knights!

In other words, although there are only 499 people on the official list, if each knight can be equipped with 4 knights, then its number is at least more than 2,000!

And this knight order, which has a nominal name of 499 people and an actual number of more than 2,000, is the Jīng Rui guard force of the Liszt family. The Liszt family was a merchant family and did not have their own territory, unlike Du Wei, who needed a large number of troops to defend the place. Therefore, with more than 2,000 cavalry, it is enough to protect itself.

Looking at this team of handsome knights wearing silver armor and white horses, Du Wei couldn't help but sigh.

After all, the head of the Liszt family is a woman, and even the cavalry under his command is so fancy and beautiful. These white-feathered knights, although the shelves are very beautiful, but they are too focused on appearance, if you look closely, even the eyes of the horses, and the height and shortness of the knights on the horses are almost the same, so the army that puts all the jīng power on the appearance, how strong can the battle be?

Although he shook his head secretly, Du Wei already had a smile on his face.

The posture of this team of white-feathered knights dismounted was still very neat, twenty people stood in line on both sides after dismounting, behind were several carriages slowly drove to the door, the front was a high-quality black nan wooden carriage, pulling the carriage was four snow-white high-headed horses, the horses with luan bells, running all the way, accompanied by a crisp bell.

This carriage looks ordinary, but in fact, Jīng Hua is restrained, but Du Wei can see that the cost of this carriage is really amazing, just this high-quality black nan wood car, no worse than his own carriage presented by Prince Chen! And the wheels below, as well as every part, are made of the finest materials, but the appearance is not arrogant, it looks quite stylish.

The red carpet had already been laid on the ground, and the young knight who looked like the leader of the white-feathered knight slowly walked to the carriage, this person's silver sè armor was inlaid with some golden sè curls, and there was a faint reserve on his face, all faintly arrogant. He pressed the hilt of his sword at his waist with one hand, pulled open the door of the carriage with the other, and bowed slightly.

Then, a slender and delicate foot stepped out of the carriage, the round ankle, the crystal clear skin was almost translucent, and a delicate figure came from the carriage.

The gods testified that this woman, even the way she bent down and got out of the carriage, was almost extremely beautiful! It seemed that there was a special elegance and jīng in every movement......

When she raised her head, Du Wei saw the girl's face clearly, and even Du Wei's heart couldn't help beating fiercely!

What kind of face is this......
