Chapter 328 [First in the Lower Left!]

Sent off General Andre and the others, but where did Du Wei still have the heart to stay here for another night?

Seeing that something big happened in the north, I was afraid that as soon as this General Andre arrived, it would immediately cause an uproar. At such a time, where can you slow down on the road?

Du Wei immediately announced that he had given up his plan to stay overnight and immediately hit the road. At this time, it made the cavalry of the garrison who accompanied them cry bitterly-because many of them were already drunk, and at such a time, wouldn't it cost them their lives to hurry all night?

Du Wei looked at these garbage-like cavalrymen, and couldn't help but feel a trace of anger in his heart, and said to Rodriguez: "Regardless of them, I don't need any escort anyway! Just you, me and Qiaoqiao, the three of us set off on our own!"

Since Du Wei gave the order, although those old soldiers were terrified, they were able to avoid traveling overnight, avoiding hardships, and many people were happy and relaxed in their hearts.

Du Wei and Rodriguez got into the carriage directly, Rodriguez personally drove Du Wei in person, and Qiao Qiao and Du Wei sat in the carriage.

But as soon as the carriage left the city, Du Wei suddenly called "stop".

Puzzled, Rodriguez stopped the carriage and opened the window.

Du Wei walked out and sighed: "Mr. Rodriguez, I want to think about it, this matter still has to trouble you...... Alas, it's just a little embarrassing to have you running back and forth like this. ”

Rodriguez smiled calmly: "Lord Duke. Since I am your subordinate. So what's there. Just tell me. ”

Du Wei nodded: "My ground guard elder smokes." I think I went to the Northwest. I asked Hussein to come with my teacher? It's to deal with Bai Hechou. But now I'm out of danger. Then you don't need them to come. I would like to ask you to go to the Northwest immediately...... It's best to be able to catch them on the road. Please go back to the Duke's Mansion in the Northwest. The northwest is the base camp of our hometown, and there must always be a master of enough weight to sit in the family. Otherwise, in case the Northwest Army takes the opportunity to do something. I'm afraid I won't be able to feel at ease. As for you and Hussein......"

Rodriguez smiled, "Lord Duke." You're trying to invite me to join Hussein. Shall we go to the frozen forests of the north now?"

Du Wei was caught by Rodriguez's thoughts, and he didn't twist it, and said directly: "I'm really uneasy in my heart! I'm afraid it's not a good omen! Something big must have happened! Although Rostock, the commander of the Stormwind Legion, sent people into the forest to explore the news. But those ordinary soldiers. I'm afraid it's hard to go too far. You and Hussein. After all, they are all saint-level powerhouses. Even if you encounter a large number of demonic beasts. You also have the ability to protect yourself. And. What I need is ......"

Speaking of which. Du Wei's eyes flickered slightly: "...... I need to be. You can go all the way north. Cross the Great Round Lake. All the way north. Even...... You may not know the way to the end of the forest! But Hussein must have recognized...... Because. We've been there before, and I beg you, to go to the end of the forest and see it...... Because, I got a piece of news from the old man of the Pope, which may not be very good. If that message is true......"

Seeing that Du Wei was so solemn. Rodriguez couldn't help but become serious: "What news?"

"If it's true...... Du Wei smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid that there will be disasters in the future." than this time Warcraft is wreaking havoc. It's a hundred times more serious! Maybe even the entire Roland Continent. The greatest crisis of human existence!"

Rodriguez couldn't help but be moved. He was about to ask, but Du Wei shook his head: "This is a long story. Now is not the time, and ...... Specifically. You can go ask Hussein. I know. He should know it all. The only thing I can tell you is. At the end of the frozen forest, in the far north. There's a barrier to our human existence! It's a place laid by the gods...... But...... Forget it, wait until you meet Hussein. Naturally, he has a lot of time to explain to you on the way. ”

Du Wei actually said that this matter was so serious. Rodriguez did not dare to delay any longer, and he immediately obeyed the orders and hit the road. Luckily, two horses were tied to the back of the carriage. After Rodriguez took a horse. He rode alone and headed northwest.

Jojo listened to Du Wei say so terrible. Sit in a carriage. I couldn't help but be a little unconvinced: "You said the ground." Is it the dragons? Something happened to the dragons?"

Du Wei smiled bitterly: "Qiaoqiao." You remember. When you and your teacher went to the Dragon Clan Divine Mountain. On the way back, luckily the dragons themselves were in trouble. That dragon patriarch didn't hunt you down. and you fled triumphantly. Right? I'll tell you. The dragon territory is there. It was the gods who set the ground, and the dragons were our enemies...... However, for humans. But they're a defensive barrier! because further northland...... There are some creatures from other races!"

Jojo's eyes widened. After Du Wei casually explained a few words, Qiao Qiao didn't look surprised: "Well, you mean those exiled races. Will it come back? I don't think it's likely. That dragon patriarch is really powerful!"

Du Wei looked at the northern night sky. He whispered, "I hope so...... It's really ridiculous to say, but at this moment, I suddenly hope that the strength of that old dragon land is better than the stronger......"

&#

Du Wei quietly returned to dìdū. It didn't cause much of a reaction.

After all, Du Wei was arrested by Bai Hechou in the first place. Nothing knows. Even the Duke's guards in the Duke's Mansion didn't know. I only know that Du Wei went out to run errands with some friends.

And although he met Rodriguez on the way, Rodriguez didn't pass the news to dìdū - it was useless to pass it on to dìdū, so it was better to go to the northwest to ask for help.

Therefore, Du Wei quietly returned to the Duke's Palace, and his guards only thought that the Duke had returned from his personal affairs.

The person reported that it was early in the morning. Someone came to the palace. An order was sent to invite the Duke to enter the palace immediately.

Du Wei nodded.

It seems that the news brought by General Andre has been reported to the palace. Du Wei did not delay along the way. It's just that he arrived at Dìdū a day later than General Andrea.

He didn't care about resting and settled Qiaoqiao...... This violent woman. Du Wei directly arranged for her to live with Miss Nicole, the beautiful snake.

Du Wei hurriedly changed his clothes. He immediately went to the palace to see the regent.

This time I met Prince Chen. But it's not as laid-back as last time in the garden. Du Wei was led directly by the waiter into a very solemnly arranged hall.

When he walked in. But I saw two familiar faces on the ground, one was the Chancellor of the Exchequer of the Empire - I thought about it. Du Wei almost got married to the granddaughter of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. But later it was replaced by his younger brother Gabri.

Another one. It was since the dìdū coup. has always lived in seclusion. At home, he has been "sick" for half a year, and the current prime minister of the empire, Marquis Robeschel.

Furthermore. There are also several military commanders and commanders. Including the Minister of War, who was now nominally the number one man in the military command, an old general -- whom Du Wei remembered as if he were called Hughes. At the beginning, his father, Count Raymond, used to be the number two person in the emperor's ** side, and it is said that he was not quite on the right path with this old man, so everyone moved around very little.

This old guy has served in the imperial party for more than forty years...... It is said that there were a large number of old subordinates in various armies. However, Du Wei was extremely unhappy with this old man.

Very simple. Because it is said that it was this old and dizzy old guy back then. Promoted the current Northwest Legion Commander Lu Gao!

This has to be said. It was one of the biggest failures of his political career!

Moreover, an order was given to dispense with the orders of the two hundred and fifth general Longbottom. It was also the place where he signed.

To Du Wei's surprise. Dìdū Sheriff's Command, Camisiro. It's in this room—it stands to reason. Northland things. It really has nothing to do with the dìdū security office.

Don't...... Du Wei's heart moved, it seems that the regent wants to promote this Camichiro!

The regent's descendants have a military background. That's all there is to it, this Camesiro. He was originally an undercover agent under the eldest prince and served in the royal guard. Later, he served as the head of the Dìdū Sheriff's Office. It is also a military position.

Seemingly. Such an occasion. Get him to the meeting. Most of it is a signal from the place where Prince Chen released. This Lord Camisiro. I'm afraid that if I don't, I'm going to be elevated. It's time to enter the military headquarters!!

When Du Wei walked in, he found that the atmosphere here was extremely tense. Seeing the regent Prince Chen sitting high in the chair. There was no joy or anger on the face. Just pursed lips tightly - only someone like Du Wei who knew him well. can be seen from his habitual actions. At this moment, although His Royal Highness the Regent did not express it on his face, he was really a little impatient in his heart and was very angry!

As for the nominal Prime Minister Robschaner. This old man Du Wei has met a few times, but since the coup d'état. He has basically taken a back seat, but I am afraid that it will not be long before. His position as prime minister is about to be replaced.

The reason why he can survive until now. It's because Prince Chen's subordinates trust the people the most. Judging from influence and qualifications, there is really no one who can be the prime minister. Speaking of the most famous, it is naturally Du Wei...... But I'm afraid that no matter how famous Du Wei is, if a barely sixteen-year-old boy is pushed up to become the prime minister of the empire, others will definitely think that the regent is crazy!

Therefore, the regent's attitude towards this prime minister. is still very respectful, but the real power has been taken back. The prime minister doesn't have any real power in his hands now. But a lifetime of life in the sea to Robeschel. This old man seems to be a person who understands, and he has already understood his own situation. So he has been since the coup d'état. It's been very low-key. He said that he had been recuperating at home for almost a year.

It seems that he has probably made up his mind. Honestly stand on the last shift, and then once the regent has found a suitable replacement, he can put down his burden and go straight back to his hometown to retire and enjoy his blessings.

It's just that when something so big happened, even if it was just to take care of it nominally, or if he needed other experience, Prince Chen also invited him.

However, looking at this old prime minister, he was also sitting in a chair like Prince Chen, his old body seemed to be curled up a little weakly, and his eyes were half-open and half-closed. An unfathomable look. But he closed his mouth tightly.

In the field, I looked at the old man of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. But his face was excited, and his old face turned red. Look like that. His beard blew in anger. The eyes widened. An old man of such an age even rolled up his sleeves. Look like that. It's like you're going to fight someone.

and the Chancellor of the Exchequer for land. Not someone else. It was the old general Hughes, the military boss.

Speaking of which. Du Wei had occasionally heard his father, Count Raymond, and Uncle Alpha, the chief of the guard, mention this old fellow. Actually, this old Hughes is not a bad person. It's just that fame and fortune are too heavy.

He had a lifelong military career. Now they are almost seventy years old, but they refuse to retire and occupy this position...... In fact, everyone knows that he has always had a wish in his heart. I only hope that before I retire, I can get the title of "marshal". After retiring. You can also glorify your ancestors!

However, the title of "marshal" can be a fief casually? Unless it's a meritorious achievement. It has set up a great expansion of the empire. The top heroes of the hard work. before it is possible to be awarded the title of "marshal".

For example, the ancestor of the Rollin family. It can be said that the entire Augustinian Dynasty was fought by him, and finally got the title of marshal.

Now there has been no land war on the mainland. This old man. Even if you work hard all your life, you really don't have any earth-shattering achievements...... To be crowned a marshal. It's a bit reluctant.

But he couldn't let go of this thought in his heart. So many years. is still struggling to stick to his post. It's just waiting for an opportunity......

"Expand the army! You army guys think about expanding the army all day long!! but what about the money!!" the Chancellor of the Exchequer roared angrily: "The army is huge! The empire has raised a million local garrisons. Can't those armies be used! Expand the armed forces! Is it possible that the Ministry of Finance has an annual military budget of tens of millions of gold coins? Raise the garrison of those places. It can't be used? Let's just say that the military is insufficient! The military is insufficient!! in that case. It is better to dismantle the garrisons in those places first! I'm telling you. No! No is nothing! Open your mouth to ask for a million! Do you know what the concept of one million gold coins is! Is it a province's annual income! One million? Now the Ministry of Finance does not have it! This year's snowstorm in the south. It's already cost two million! And the snow disaster in the south. The loss has not yet been fully estimated!! and the chūn season has only just passed. Military spending is already in exceedance! Now you want to expand the army again! You have to use troops. Directly reorganize the garrisons in those places!!"

Hughes, the military boss, was also furious: "Nonsense! I want the land to be the main battle corps! What is the use of those local garrisons? Don't you know. What is the situation in the north now......?

"Why don't I know!!" the Chancellor of the Exchequer stiffened his neck: "You said that the garrison is useless! Why do you spend so much military money every year to support it! Naturally, I'll have the money for you to get your main battle legion!!damn it...... Don't you know how tight the Empire's finances are right now!!"

Seeing that the two important ministers of the empire actually quarreled with their sleeves and fists. Du Wei couldn't help but be stunned. These two now. Where else is there any bigwigs and ministers?

But after all, Camesilo has some friendship with Du Wei. I saw Du Wei come in. Pull him gently. Smiled kindly. "Don't be surprised," he whispered. This kind of scene. I'm in dìdū...... But how many times do you have to see each other every month? These two bigwigs have quarreled all their lives...... We're used to it. ”

The regent glanced at Du Wei. He pursed the ground, the corners of his mouth finally relaxed, and his eyes fixed on Du Wei. Cleared his throat. He coughed. In the quarrel, the two old guys quickly shut their mouths. Each took a step back.

"Du Wei. You're finally here. The regent smiled like a chūn wind caressing his face: "Come, come, come." This is how the meeting went. It's your first time participating. Sit down. I'm just about to hear what you mean. ”

After speaking. He shouted, "Someone." Bring a chair to Grand Duke Tulip. ”

As soon as he said this, he said. Everyone couldn't help but be stunned!

in this temple. Originally, there was a good chair. It's under the throne of this regent. There are a lot of open spaces on both sides.

But now that the regent has spoken. Naturally, waiters came in at once. In a moment, a very beautiful chair came in. Just about to let go......

The regent smiled, "Move closer to me." ”

The four waiters struggled to move their chairs a little higher.

"Closer. What are you doing so far away from me? ”

The regent seemed a little dissatisfied.

The four waiters suddenly understood. Hurry up and try to move the chair up. Finally. The Lord Regent smiled with satisfaction, "Alright. There you are. Du Wei. Sit down. Listen to this with me. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to his chair......

The audience was silent!

Because. Where is this chair located......

Although Du Wei is a duke. He is the lord of a northwestern province. But from the qualifications. From age. He is among the people of the present temple. It's definitely not at the forefront of the shooting.

But where is this chair located......

Originally, Robeschel, the current prime minister of the empire, sat in the first position on the left side. And just now, at the request of the regent, Du Weidi's chair. But moved to the front of the old prime minister!

First position on the bottom left!

According to the tradition of the Empire...... This is, the position of prime minister?!

Smile at the Regent. Du Wei couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart. He smiled bitterly in his heart. I looked at the chair. It's as if there's a nail standing up in that chair at the moment.

Subsequently. Under the attention of everyone, Du Wei took a deep breath and walked over hard. Then, as if carrying a thousand weights on his body, he sat down slowly.

And at this moment, sitting next to Du Wei, the old prime minister Robschel. Originally squinted eyes. But suddenly a gap opened. He glanced at Du Wei carefully. A strange sè flashed in the cloudy old eyes. Then it disappeared. Squinted his eyes again. It's the same half-asleep old look again.

The crowd looked at Du Wei and then at the regent. For a while, everyone seemed a little weird. However, the regent Prince Chen, however, seemed to have a relaxed face, as if he didn't understand the deep meaning in everyone's eyes, and smiled slightly: "Go on, um." Chancellor of the Exchequer. And the old general Hughes. Please continue, both of you. Merely. When the two of them spoke. Don't be too big, otherwise it's a bit of a local story. It's going to wake our Prime Minister out of his sleep. ”

He seems to be telling a joke, but at this moment, who dares to laugh??

All of them were as quiet as cicadas, and even the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the old General Hughes shrank their heads, honestly stepped back, and looked at Prince Chen.

"Well, don't you say it?" Prince Chen smiled faintly: "Okay, I see that you should be tired after talking for so long." Now, let's listen to the meaning of the Grand Duchy of Tulip. ”
