Law of the Devil

Du Wei was indeed waiting for a signal, waiting for a signal from the imperial capital and the regent.

Unfortunately, he waited until this fortunately. However, with the arrival of this signal, there is another trouble.

Winter has not yet passed, the ice and snow have not yet melted, and the road is still very difficult.

Just this morning, two carriages in Loulan City attracted the attention of cavalry patrolling outside the city.

The two carriages have the logo of the Temple of Light, and four holy knights follow each other at the front and back of the carriage. When the patrolling cavalry approached, they were told that there was a distinguished guest from the Temple of the Imperial Capital in the carriage. Because they showed legal documents, the patrolling cavalry could only escort them all the way into Loulan City.

The new religious house in Loulan City has been preliminarily built. This is a cathedral very close to the Duke's Mansion, with a hundred holy knights guarding the surroundings. And when these two carriages entered the city, it was the busiest time for caravans entering and leaving the city gate in the morning, which attracted the attention of many people. Everyone is guessing, who will arrive in such a luxurious carriage, which prominent figure in the temple will arrive.

The carriage did not go to the church and religious place in Loulan City, but drove directly to the gate of the Duke's Mansion.

To the surprise of the accompanying holy knights, their group had just stopped at the Duke's Mansion, but such a sudden visit did not arouse the other party's surprise.

What was waiting for them was the wide open gate outside the castle, and a group of cavalry guards from the Tulip family came out to greet them. Standing at the gate of the castle was an old guy who was served by a typical noble butler. This old guy even beat a Beautiful bow tie, with a respectful and humble smile on his face.

Then, he used a posture that even the court etiquette could not fault. He personally opened the door for the distinguished guests in the carriage, and then made a gesture of asking to get out of the carriage, and said with a smile on his mouth: Respected Your Highness, Your Excellency ordered me to wait here to welcome you. I'm sorry, because you came so suddenly .The Duke is in a hurry to meet the generals of the family in the morning, so he cannot greet you in person.”

Stretching out from the carriage was a slender woman's hand. Afterwards, Her Royal Highness the Holy Maiden of the Continent Temple slowly stepped out of the carriage, although she had a reserved smile on her face. However, there was still a slight surprise in her eyes, and then she quickly calmed down, and put her hand on the hand of the old butler in front of her as if nothing had happened, and let him help her out of the carriage.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and even though she was wearing a thick white fur collar, the saint still couldn't help shrinking her neck, and then laughed softly: Thank you. Oh, the weather in the northwest. It's always so cold ?

It's good to get used to it. The old butler smiled very measuredly: Your Highness, I have arranged a warm lounge. Do you have any other needs?

Please take care of my loyal knights, they have worked hard all the way. The saint said lightly. As you wish. Don't worry. These knights will be treated as VIPs. The old butler smiled and said, My name is Made, Your Highness. If you have any needs, you can talk to me directly.

The saint was carefully watching the surrounding environment all the way, looking at the majestic duke's castle, and then she politely praised: This is a very magical place, Mr. Steward, I heard that this place was built with only It’s been three months, is it true? Oh, God Almighty, it’s a miracle.”

The old butler replied politely, and then the saint made a request: I'm not in a hurry to go to the lounge, I'm very curious about this place, can I walk around and have a look?

Of course. The old butler smiled, but then added: However, some places in this castle are forbidden by the Duke. Without his own order, no one is allowed to enter or leave... oh , Your Royal Highness, you also know that our lord duke is a magician, and the habits of magicians are always somewhat different from ordinary people.

The saint smiled a little less calmly, and then thought for a while: Then, please take me to the lounge... I think, I will visit around after I have obtained the master's permission.

What is Du Wei doing now?

Of course he had known about the coming of Her Majesty the Holy Maiden.

In fact, he got the news when the saint's frame hadn't entered the border of Desa province.

At this time, the war is imminent. What is the Holy Maiden who is against him doing in the northwest? Does she want to play tricks?

What do you think in the temple? While cooperating vigorously with himself, at the same time throwing such a trouble to the northwest to make trouble for himself?

And Prince Chen... He actually agreed?

Hell... Could it be that Prince Chen wanted to take advantage of the war to get rid of his niece? Du Wei had some malicious guesses.

Du Wei was not in a meeting with any generals either. In fact, most of Du Wei's generals have now gone to the border barracks in Desa Province and Nulin Province, and the only one who can be called a general in Loulan City is Loulan City Guard Dada neil. After Du Wei got up early this morning, he went to the laboratory first. His Flying Dragon Battleship was basically completed, and Gandolf in the green robe taught him a little trick. I bought a little toy that is very sinister.

Later, in the morning, he drank morning tea with Mrs. Liszt, Ms. Angel and his sister. Afterwards, the kid Muse, whom Du Wei didn't like, came to harass him. Hell, this guy who didn't like Du Wei actually told himself that he wanted to go to the battlefield.

Why did you say that there is going to be a war? Du Wei pretended to be stupid in front of this guy: Now is an era of peace, and there are no battlefields.

Don't lie to me. Muse looked gloomy. During the two years in the Northwest, this kid has grown a little taller, but judging by Du Wei's standards, he is still too thin.

Like a bitch. - This is Longbottom's evaluation of this kid.

Don't lie to me. Muse faced Du Wei: Most of your troops have been mobilized to the east, and everyone is so busy now, idiots can see that they are doing the final mobilization before the war. Hmph... I'm not a fool, Your Excellency the Duke!

Du Wei looked at the flush on the kid's face and the sweat on the tip of his nose. Suddenly asked an irrelevant question: What did you do in the morning? Did you go to exercise?

He even took two steps closer, took out a silk handkerchief from his arms, and wiped the sweat off Muse's nose with his own hands. This action startled Muse, and quickly took two steps back. .

Oh, I forgot. You have a cleanliness. Du Wei smiled and put Sipa away.

I... I went to practice swordsmanship in the morning. Muse tried to puff up her chest. Loudly said: My teacher told me that my swordsmanship has reached the third level! He also said that soon, I will be able to practice Dou Qi! I... I have grown up! Damn! Don't use this kind of look! Look at me, I'm not a child anymore!

Only children would try their best to emphasize that they are not children. Du Wei shrugged.

If you don't let me go, I'll run by myself! Muse was still very determined.

You'd better not do that. Because in that case, I will break your legs without hesitation—two together. Du Wei's tone was flat, as if he was talking about something irrelevant.

Afterwards, he glanced at Muse, and suddenly asked an irrelevant question: The thing about the war...you heard what your sister said.

Muse was silent for a while, then nodded.

Your sister is very smart. Du Wei smiled: What else did she say besides these?

She said... Muse coughed: She gave me a list of some mid-level and low-level generals in the Northwest Army. They are all candidates that we may win over. However, unless you agree to take me to The battlefield. Otherwise I wouldn't have given you this list.

Du Wei thought for a while—is Mrs. Liszt helping me? Hmm... She is still a very caring woman. However, what does she want to bring Muse to the battlefield?

Wait, boy. Du Wei nodded: Okay. I can take you there, but you must go with me. And... if you don't obey, I will break your legs.

After a pause, Du Wei looked at this guy maliciously, and suddenly smiled maliciously: By the way, you should be careful when practicing swords in the future, I know you are in the development period now... Always oppressing, it is harmful to physical development. It's no good.

As he said that, Du Wei's eyes fell on Muse's chest intentionally or unintentionally, which made Muse turn pale with fright. Fortunately, Du Wei quickly turned his eyes away, and then waved his hand to let the kid go out.

He... he knows?

With a heartbeat of one hundred and eighty, Muse escaped from Du Wei's study nervously.

Hmph. Mrs. Liszt...you have a good intention. Du Wei took a look at the list left by Muse, and then sighed: But, doesn't she know a famous saying? War, let women go open!

Du Wei looked at the time, the sun was almost overhead.

Well, presumably Her Majesty the Holy Maiden should wait impatiently.

Only then did he change his clothes slowly, and then came to the door of the saint's lounge.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Du Wei heard a woman's laughter coming from inside. He pushed open the door and saw Mrs. Liszt and His Royal Highness sitting together. The two beautiful women were talking and laughing happily, as if very familiar look.

Du Wei walked in, stretched exaggeratedly, and then said with a smile: I'm sorry, Your Highness, I'm surprised by your sudden arrival. It's really rude of me to keep you waiting for so long.

Seeing Du Wei coming in, the saint stood up, nodded to Du Wei, and said, Master Duke, if you want to tell me an excuse to hold a meeting with the generals, then forget it. I think everyone knows now , where are the brave generals under your command?

Mrs. Liszt also bowed to Du Wei, Du Wei smiled, squinted his eyes, and looked at the shrewd widow: Ma'am, I just met your brother, and he made a very embarrassing request to me. Did you get your permission?

Yes, my lord. If you don't bother me, please promise him. Mrs. Liszt sighed: I think there is nothing more effective than cruel war to speed up a person's maturity. Moreover, By your side, I will not worry about his safety.

War does make people mature faster. Du Wei looked at Mrs. Lister. If you have a deep meaning: Especially men.

Mrs. Liszt's expression didn't change at all: Thank you for your understanding.

Du Wei pointed at the two of them: Did you know each other before?

Of course. Mrs. Lister smiled and said, Many years.

Then the woman glanced at Du Wei's expression, and left with a smile: I think the Duke must have a lot of things to discuss with His Highness, so I will leave first. When she walked past Du Wei before she left, Du Wei Wei quickly said something in her ear. These words made Mrs. Lister's expression change a bit.

In the future... find a new swordsmanship teacher for Muse—a female teacher. Du Wei said indifferently. He said softly: He has grown up, and there will be a lot of physical contact in swordsmanship.

However, Mrs. Liszt's expression only lasted for a second, and then she regained her composure: I will consider it, thank you for your opinion.

Then, she left. After the door is closed. Du Wei sighed for a long time. He walked up to the saint without hesitation, then sat in a chair and said lazily, Okay, tell me, why are you here at this time?

Is this how you treat a lady? Please pay attention to your manners. The saint said calmly. Come on. Du Wei pointed at the other party's nose: You are not my friend, we know that very well. There are no outsiders here now. I am too lazy to make those gestures. And...to be honest, I didn't drive you out with a broom Northwest. It is already rare to have a lot of tolerance.

The saint just smiled, and she smiled very charmingly. He even took off the veil on his face. Just sat in front of Du Wei, looking at Du Wei. The voice was a little sweet: If I said I came to trouble you, would you really do it?

Du Wei thought about it for two seconds: Maybe... It depends on how much trouble you are looking for. If it is a big trouble, I don't mind creating an accident and letting you die in the northwest. I think the respected regent must No objection. Of course we'll all shed a few tears at your funeral.

The saint laughed, her laughter was presumptuous, even a little unscrupulous, she leaned close to Du Wei with an intimate gesture, Du Wei smelled the fragrance on her body, but dodged to the side as if poisoned : Don't do this to me, Your Highness...I'm not that stupid boy from the Marquis de Senna's family who was killed by you.

What if I came to help you? The saint sat back in her seat. .

Oh? Du Wei laughed, and then said: You said you want to help me? Then my first reaction is to hold my wallet tightly, and then look around to see if I have fallen into any trap. Dear Your Highness, I'm a good joker... but I'm not in the habit of joking with my enemies.

You lack a sense of humor. The saint sighed: Speaking bluntly, I can give you a great benefit. But I also have my own conditions. Du Wei raised his legs and squinted at this Woman: Let's talk about it... But let me remind you first, I have a big appetite, and ordinary benefits are hard to impress me.

The saintess snorted, and said leisurely, You know, there is a guy named Guhuaduoluo under Lu Gao's subordinates in the Northwest Army.

Du Wei stopped laughing, and sat up straight: Of course, Guhuaduoluo, he once led troops to surround my capital, and he is one of Lu Gao's most trusted direct generals.

Look. The saint smiled, her smile was like a flower blooming: You have been moved by me, haven't you?

Du Wei looked at the woman's smile and narrowed his eyes... It started with an official document from the imperial capital.

The Emperor of the Roland Empire ordered, the Imperial High Command ordered Lu Gao, the commander of the Northwest Legion of the Empire, and the generals of the Northwest Army. The Imperial Military High Command decided that due to the raging monsters in the north, the Storm Legion entered a large-scale reorganization. The Northwest Legion and the Storm The legions exchanged defense areas, and the Storm Legion took over the Northwest Theater, so that the Northwest Army would prepare for all matters within one month after receiving this order, and go to the Northern Theater of the Empire in accordance with the marching route stipulated by the Military Command. The Northwest Army took over the Northern Theater The personnel arrangement in the Northwest Army will not be changed. Lu Gao, the commander of the Northwest Army, will be granted the title of marquis, and will be ordered to command the commander of the northern theater and the soldiers of the whole army to pay double pay. The change of defense must be completed within one month, otherwise the military law will——

Imperial Military High Command, Acting Minister of War Robschell (signature), Regent of the Empire.

This official document was sent to the Northwest Army's Watt Fortress almost at the same time, and an identical copy was already placed on Du Wei's desk.

Without any doubt, after the content of this official document was spread, even idiots knew that a war was about to take place. .
