Chapter five hundred and eighty seventh [do the knife or not? 】

Nine hundred and sixty-six years of the empire.

Although the new year has passed, winter has not passed and spring has not arrived.

However, in the imperial palace of the imperial capital, one order after another was issued to the military headquarters, and then through the military headquarters, these orders were distributed to various places. The meaning of it was quite thought-provoking.

Because the empire is in a state of war, the military department ordered that in order to improve the combat effectiveness of the local garrison and reserve forces and prepare for the frontline operations at all times, this year's national spring exercise will be held earlier than in previous years.

Especially in the north-central region of the mainland, to be precise, the imperial capital is the center and the surrounding provinces radiate. The local garrison and reserve forces have been mobilized early.

The ice on the canal has not completely melted, and the cold wind is still piercing. After receiving the red military order from the imperial capital's military headquarters, which symbolizes the highest authority, the local defense forces in various places immediately mobilized nervously.

Because the empire is in a state of war, after the previous three years of deliberate operation, the military affairs of various places have already been rectified, and food, grass, materials, etc. are also considered complete. Although this year's spring drills are much earlier than previous years, at most Soldiers and officers were just complaining. All the supplies, food and grass, were in place quickly under the overtime work of the military department.

...

…………

Nulin Province, as an area adjacent to the territory of the Tulip family, can be regarded as the richest place in the Northwest after years of management by the former Governor Bohan—of course, this situation came after the Duke of Tulip came to the Northwest. was broken.

But Governor Bohan is a rare talent in the empire. Although he resigned later, he also left a very rich family fortune to his successor.

Governor Bohan is not a direct descendant of Prince Chen. It is also normal to be transferred away after the local separatist regime of the Northwest Army has been wiped out. Later, after Du Wei assumed the special position of Northwest Military and Political Minister, Nulin Province did not set up the post of governor within two years, which also made this province almost become Du Wei's sphere of influence.

However, after the Northwest Independent Division went north and was formally reorganized into the Imperial Air Force, Du Wei's special position of Military and Political Director of the Northwest was also cut off by the Regent, and Nulin Province was finally placed under the central jurisdiction again.

Successor Governor. In a way, he is an old acquaintance of Du Wei,

Marquis de Senna.

This Lord Marquis is an aristocratic family from the south, and he is considered a member of the royal camp. However, something happened in the past two years: at that auction, an idiot young master of the Senna family was bewitched by His Royal Highness, and dared to bid for it...

That incident made Marquis Senna almost lose the favor of the royal family. Later, this old fox in the political arena, it is said that he personally ran into the palace to plead guilty. At that time, he broke the leg of his idiot son, deprived him of all inheritance rights, and drove him back to his hometown in the south.

Later, in the first two years of the empire's armament reorganization, the Marquis of Senna lost a lot of blood. By donating money, this is considered to have regained the trust of the regent.

Therefore, when choosing the governor of Nulin Province, the regent was chosen on his land. On the one hand, Nulin Province is far away in the northwest, while the family of the Marquis of Senna is in the south. It is the consistent policy of the government: whenever the governor is appointed, the jurisdiction must be far away from the sphere of influence of his own family, so as not to cause the local governor to become too powerful.

Secondly... Although the Marquis Senna has regained the trust of the royal family, after all. Because of that auction. To some extent, it can be regarded as Du Wei personally abolishing his son, the thought of being a father. Even if the Marquis of Senna didn't say anything, he naturally didn't dare to hate the royal family, but he didn't like Du Wei in his heart!

With such a candidate from the non-Duwei camp guarding the Nulin province, he could somewhat suppress the power of the Tulip family in the northwest. This is also a very normal imperial balance technique.

At the end of January, the Marquis de Sena, then governor of Nulin Province, immediately followed suit after receiving the red military order from the army, mobilized two local garrison divisions stationed in Nulin Province, and started a routine Ground spring drills. .

As for the drills in previous years, because of the special structure of the Northwest, after the Northwest Army was wiped out, when Du Wei was still the Minister of Military and Political Affairs in the Northwest, the spring drills in Nulin Province and Desa Province were jointly held.

Well, it's officially separated. And Governor Senna received a special order in addition to the official express military order.

This order was sent directly from the commander-in-chief of the Royal Forest Army in the palace-the regent's personal order.

This order is not considered a secret order, because the regent did not say that it should be kept secret, but at the same time, it violated the usual practice. It is an additional order in addition to the order of the military department. The meaning of it is worth pondering .

Moreover, the content of this order is aimed at...

In late January, the two local garrison divisions that had just assembled in the southeastern part of Nulin Province for their drills suddenly received an order from the governor of Nulin Province, and then immediately changed their marching route, turned around and headed west.

After six days of long-distance training and marching, the troops were divided into two groups and arrived at the border area where Nulin Province and Desa Province meet.

Then, under some delicate operations, the two infantry regiments quickly crossed the border and entered the territory of the Tulip family. After the infantry had crossed the border for 60 miles, a notice was officially sent The Tulip family is in the hands of the garrison commander of a military fortress on the eastern border.

The content of this notice is very simple: the garrison of Nulin Province conducts long-distance training in spring drills and requests to cross the border for long-distance marching exercises. I hope the Tulip family will cooperate with this.

This kind of cross-border exercise behavior, if it is in the past, is actually not uncommon in the empire. Because often the annual spring drills are to mobilize the garrison troops from various places to perform. When the local troops are mobilized, it is inevitable that they will leave their own garrisons and run into other people's jurisdictions.

The empire was established for nearly a thousand years. There are so many noble classes, large and small, everywhere in the mainland. There are scattered private territories of nobles everywhere, like patches of psoriasis, scattered all over the continent. Any assembly exercise or long-distance march will inevitably run into the territory of a certain noble or small.

In the past practice, this kind of thing was originally normal. However, in order to show respect for the lord, they would generally greet each other with an official document in advance—after all, since it was a military drama, they naturally made a marching plan very early, and knew where they were going to march early. Where did you pass by.

Before running to someone's house, say hello in advance. It can also be regarded as respect for the master, which is also due etiquette.

But this time, the army had already marched directly into other people's territory, and the notice was passed—this kind of behavior cannot be explained by unintentional.

After the two infantry battalions entered the territory of the Tulip family and crossed the border for sixty miles, they were immediately stopped.

The young general of the Tulip family. Known as the little two hundred and five, Al Qaeda personally led a thousand cavalry to block the way of the garrison of Nulin Province.

At the beginning, the Nulin garrison tried to send someone to talk to them, and they took out the notice to explain the matter. As a result, the young al-Qaeda really deserved to be a stunned young man trained by Longbottom. The Nulin garrison sent three officers over there. The announcements were all driven back by him without mercy, and the answer was only one sentence: leave immediately!

The Nulin garrison was dumbfounded.

What kind of business is this? Originally, the order for this exercise was a bit weird, and it was not surprising that they were not happy about rushing to the territory of the Tulip family. Although my own side has orders from the Imperial Army...but they are the family's private army. The imperial army can control the army. But it can't control the private army of the nobles.

Tried to be accommodating. The little Erbaiwu on the opposite side made it clear that the battle was not to give way.

Besides, look at the thousand cavalry led by al-Qaeda. Each of them is a first-class war horse from the grassland, and each cavalry is wearing the most expensive full-body armor. The cost of this armor is probably much higher than that of the most elite Stormtrooper cavalry in the empire. go!

The prepared weapons are not to mention the local garrison, I am afraid that they are not even comparable to the imperial guards.

The whole continent knows that Duke Tulip is very rich, but money is not such a waste!

These cavalrymen are all high-quality hardcover full-body knight armor-note that this is not the standard army cavalry armor, but the full-body armor that only knights will wear!

Not to mention the people, even the horses are covered with a layer of light armor - so armed to the teeth, it's like throwing gold coins into the water. .

However, such a thick armor can only be prepared by the best war horses from the grasslands. Otherwise, ordinary war horses can't carry people with armor at all.

In terms of weapons, the weapons prepared by the imperial cavalry are nothing more than assault spears, but the cavalry of these Tulip family are equipped with maces, and each is equipped with a mechanical short crossbow—this short The cost of the crossbow is even more expensive. In the past, only the ace army of the Royal Guards who guard the imperial capital would prepare this weapon.

In the Tulip family, it seems that these are just ordinary outfits, and even the weapons worn by officers above the cavalry commander are all equipped with magic blessing attributes-this is simply extravagant.

What's even more depressing is...the opponent actually has other arms to fight with him!

A thousand cavalry in Al Qaeda blocked the way, and in less than a moment, the air force of the Tulip family appeared in the sky.

The hot air balloons were clearly painted with tulip totems on the airships. Dozens of airships floated over the heads of the Nulin garrison. It looked like that. If they didn't retreat, they might have made the cavalry of the Northwest Army full. The bitter bomb is about to fall on his head.

...

After hesitating for less than a meal, the report came from the front. Two infantry regiments ran into the territory of the Tulip family and were disarmed by the army of the Tulip family!

Al-Qaeda was really brave. He led a thousand cavalrymen, and he dared to attack the local garrison with two infantry regiments of six thousand.

A thousand cavalry rushed directly in front of the Nulin garrison, and rushed into the opponent's formation without saying a word. Immediately made it difficult for the two infantry regiments of the forward... to fight? But he is the private army of the Tulip family, and the power of the Duke of Tulip is placed there. Who dares?

Although there is a military order in his hand, after all, his head is on his neck. Seeing Al Qaeda rushing towards him murderously with cavalry, it is definitely not a joke.

Therefore, the officers of the two infantry regiments tacitly ordered their formations to be separated quickly, leaving the direction of the opponent's charge. Then held high the banner of retreat...

After all, Gaida is not really two hundred and five. Although he is a fierce general, he also knows that in such a situation, it is okay to scare the opponent, but not to fight. He rushed to the opponent's ground with a thousand cavalry like a whirlwind, almost brushing the noses of the two infantry regiments of the Nulin Garrison, and then suddenly gave an order, and the thousand cavalry were running fast. He could also calmly make a sudden turn, an almost ninety-degree turn, and a thousand cavalrymen, in front of the two infantry regiments, passed calmly, even the dust kicked up by horseshoes. All the soldiers of the Nulin Garrison choked and coughed.

Later, Al Qaeda divided its troops into two groups, and one group calmly went around behind the opponent's buttocks. A thousand cavalrymen surrounded the strength of the two infantry regiments in such a grand manner!

Surrender and disarm, we will send you out of the country!

Al Qaeda did not give the opponent a second choice.

The cavalry of the Tulip family are strong and well-armed, and their blades are facing the Nulin garrison in the middle. There is also an airship of the Tulip family hovering in the sky...

Officers of two vanguard regiments. Thinking about my own head, thinking about my own destiny... After all, I am from the Northwest. Although the military order has not been completed, it is a big deal to go back and be reprimanded and scolded, or at most receive a military stick. But if they turned their faces here, there would be a real fight-it's a fight but it's another story.

Afterwards, Duke Tulip became angry, and when he pursued it, it was not something he, two little people, could stand up to.

The two even had their own little calculations: Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this incident was unusual, and it was probably due to the intrigue of the upper class. At this time... protect yourself!

As a result, six thousand infantrymen surrendered to one thousand cavalrymen, obediently handed over their flags and weapons, and then returned in line under the escort led by Al Qaeda, leaving the border of Desa province.

As for how to punish the two officers, the governor of Nuxing Province after returning, I won't say.

And Al Qaeda did not leave after driving away the Nurin garrison.

because……

Sure enough, as Mr. Philip predicted. On the second day after the garrison of Nulin province left. A heavily armed division, clearly carrying the banner of the Imperial City Guards, came from the east, crossed the entire territory of Nulin Province, and came to the border of Desa Province. .

Then, a notice was sent by Feiqi.

The content is still nothing special: the military department dispatched an order, Wangcheng Guards sent down a certain division to conduct long-distance training exercises, and crossed the border into the Desa province. Please cooperate with Yunyun.

The Royal City Guards are not soft persimmons like the Nulin Garrison, who can be driven away with a single scare.

Al Qaeda didn't say anything else, and replied directly, rejecting the other party's request.

Then, the atmosphere suddenly became tense...

...

…………

two days.

Within two days, on the eastern border of the Tulip family's territory of Desa Province, two cavalry regiments of the Tulip family's private army had assembled here, and the leader was still al-Qaeda. At the same time, the Tulip family mobilized an airship brigade to hover in the air, and the infantry regiments originally stationed at the two fortresses on the eastern border had begun to close the fortresses and prohibit entry and exit. Everything seemed to have entered a wartime state.

Al Qaeda's two cavalry regiments stood firmly on the border, while the division chief of the Wangcheng Guards sent three official documents in a row, all of which were rejected by Al Qaeda.

The reason is simple: the orders of your military department cannot control the private army of our Tulip family! As usual. Letting you in is our accommodation, and not letting you in is not a violation of the laws of the empire, it is also our duty!

The division commander got angry, and first sent a team of cavalry to try to detour for dozens of miles and bypass this area. Entering the other party's jurisdiction, trying to create a fait accompli first. As a result, in less than two days, this group of cavalry was wrapped into rice dumplings by the opponent and thrown back. This time Al Qaeda showed no mercy and even confiscated all the horses and weapons.

Most of the cavalry sent back had bruised noses and swollen faces, and some were wounded, fortunately. No one died.

Under the deliberate tolerance of both sides, the friction was still suppressed within a rational limit.

The armies ahead are confronting each other.

Afterwards, a war of words began.

An order from the imperial headquarters quickly bypassed Du Wei who was in the imperial capital, but was sent directly to the northwest - this approach was very strange. Du Wei, the lord of the Northwest Land, was clearly in the imperial capital, but he did not dare to go to Du Wei when questioned by the military department, but sent him to the Northwest! This superfluous practice contained a trace of unusual taste.

He was ordered to accuse the Tulip family of disregarding the overall situation and disrupting the normal spring performances of the Imperial Army.

Tulip family here. Philip wrote a reply himself, saying that the other party had no legal basis.

The military department accused the Tulip family of illegally detaining soldiers of the Royal Guards.

The Tulip family replied that as a local lord, they had the right to arrest any outsiders who violated the order and broke into their territory.

The military ordered to declare that disobedience to military orders was a serious crime.

The Tulip family replied that according to the national law, the local lord's private army is owned by the lord's private and not under the control of the state.

The military ordered...

The Tulip family replied...

The battles of words went back and forth one after another, but the knights who delivered the letters on horseback were too busy. On the roads and rivers leading from the imperial capital to the northwest, one by one passed quickly, and one fast horse galloped back and forth quickly.

In these days, the eyes of almost the entire continent are focused on this place in the northwest!

From all aspects, they are all guessing the ins and outs of this incident with a shocked attitude.

Could it be... the popular Tulip Duke, his way of power has come to an end? ?

Following the documents of both parties with fierce words one after another, the two factions criticized each other verbally and in writing. But no matter how fierce the quarrel was in the military headquarters of the imperial capital. But he never said the most lethal word rebellion.

And at this time, Du Wei in the imperial capital...

He still recuperates behind closed doors every day. Talk to two beautiful fiancées, Thrush, at home.

He is obviously from the imperial capital, but while the military department is arguing fiercely with Philip from the northwest, it seems to completely ignore the big boss from the northwest who is from the imperial capital.

Even, the quarrel between the two sides was almost turbulent. The military headquarters was only less than seven streets away from the Tulip Duke's Mansion in the imperial capital, but they never sent even one person to ask what Du Wei meant. It was just that the red military newspapers went back and forth in and out of the imperial capital every day...

※#8226;

Weird!

This weird scene almost made the eyes of the rich and small nobles in the imperial capital drop to the ground! Fortunately, at this time, no stunned youth really went to the military headquarters to kindly remind the other party: Hey! The Duke of Tulip himself is in the imperial capital! You have been arguing with the duke's subordinates all day long, isn't that what you are looking for?

Fortunately, there are no such idiots in the imperial capital.

This farce lasted for a full twenty days. .

Finally, finally, an order from the palace was sent to the military headquarters. The Royal City Guard Division was changed to conduct a joint military performance with the garrison of Nulin Province on the spot, and the previous exercise plan was cancelled.

For this matter, it can be regarded as barely a full stop.

But Al Qaeda's army still stayed at the border and did not disperse. Instead, it was just a dozen miles away, watching with cold eyes the division of the royal guards, and the garrison of Nulin Province. Exercise, after that, the Royal City Guards Division did not return to the imperial capital, but drove to the Nulin Provincial Mansion and stationed there... not leaving!

※#8226;

This scenario...

If in previous years, someone said that Duke Tulip might rebel—then those who said such things. Most of them will be ridiculed by others.

But now... no one dares to guarantee that Duke Tulip is really so peaceful!

But Du Wei is still as stable as Mount Tai recuperating at home.

From the beginning to the end, not to mention that the military department didn't come to Du Wei for an argument, even in the palace, there was not even a word of will, let alone the will to blame Du Wei.

...

…………

early February.

The previous friction incident has not yet subsided, and another incident immediately put this fire that has not been extinguished. Another bucket of oil was poured!

The battle report came from the northern front, and General Rostock personally performed the operation on the front. Winter is coming to an end, and after the beginning of spring, the enemy is expected to launch a large-scale offensive, and the Storm Corps in the northern theater has been in continuous combat for several months last year, and its soldiers have been damaged and need to be replenished. Please add troops from the empire to go north.

subsequently. The Prince Regent personally promulgated a decree to carry out the second military mobilization in the interior of the empire in order to reinforce the northern theater.

This time, on the one hand, five local garrison divisions were dispatched from the south to go north. At the same time, the regent expressed that during this war period, he hoped that the noble lords in the empire would also contribute to the country. I hope that the lords can contribute private troops to go north to supplement the combat power of the imperial army!

Bear the brunt, it is the tulip family!

Everyone knows that on the mainland, when it comes to the size of the territory, the Tulip family may not be number one. But if it comes to the elite level of the private army. Then if the Tulip family claimed to be second, no one would dare to call themselves number one.

Recruiting the lord's private army to participate in the war-this kind of precedent is not without exception. The Augustinian dynasty was surprisingly established, and there was such a precedent.

However, this kind of recruitment of noble private troops has never happened in hundreds of years—because the empire is strong, several main battle legions are strong and strong, and there are countless local garrison troops—if it is reduced to the point of mobilizing If the lord's private army participates in the war, it is unless it is a last resort and the empire is already crumbling. This is the final mobilization.

can now. Obviously, it's far from the worst-case scenario.

But this summons order. But it still came out!

Of course, this kind of recruitment order... Although it is an order in name, it is actually more like an initiative or a call.

Because the empire has been established for thousands of years, the private property of the noble class is still extremely protected. After all, it is a feudal dynasty empire. The private property of the nobility is sacrosanct.

After all, the powerful class is the foundation of the royal family's rule, and the royal family is the largest aristocratic class in the world. In any dynasty, the emperor would never confiscate and occupy the property of other nobles at will - otherwise, it would cause chaos and a full-scale backlash from the noble class, and the royal family would be finished.

Once the territory is sealed off, the empire will not take it back under normal circumstances. After all, this is a minefield! Once crossed, you have taken over the territory of one family today, and thousands of other families will be watching eagerly! It is inevitable that the rabbit will die and the fox will be sad, causing widespread rebellious psychology.

Therefore, unless it is a last resort, the emperor would not dare to touch the private property of the nobles—unless it is some unforgivable and heinous crimes, for example, after the regent took office, he cleaned up the property including the Luo Lin family. Several, but that incident, after all, there was a big hat of rebellion on it, and other nobles had nothing to say. It's justifiable to accept it.

But under other circumstances... even a fatuous emperor would never do such self-defeating things.

Therefore, this order is just a suggestion, not a rigid order, stipulating how many troops everyone must send out. Although the imperial order was very noisy, it was still gentle. .

But anyone with a discerning eye understands that this is the royal family's attack on the Tulip family.

Who is the strongest private army in the world?

The answer is obvious.

Since it is going to the front line to fight, it is natural to transfer the strongest soldiers. If you don't transfer soldiers from the Tulip family, who will be transferred?

In early February, less than ten days after the imperial decree was promulgated, countless lords of all sizes on the mainland were shocked, and everyone aimed their eyes at the imperial capital. Du Wei, who was recovering from illness in the mansion.

Du Wei, still no visitors.

even. On a certain day, around February 14th, the Duke of Tulip was even in a leisurely mood, and sent a team out to sweep down the streets of the imperial capital. All the flowers in the flower shop are all swept away. Sold out!

This weird move has aroused many people's speculation. But it is said——from a certain attendant sent by the Tulip family to buy flowers: This Duke Tulip seems to be celebrating some kind of Valentine's Day and bought flowers from all the flower shops in the entire imperial capital to please the two beautiful ladies. The Duke's fiancée's favor!

It's such a critical time, this young Duke, is he still in the mood to play such a romantic business? ! !

Many people sighed in their hearts, and they didn't know that they admired Du Wei for holding his breath. Still disdain Du Wei's nonsense.

However, there was another episode in this matter. Because of Duke Tulip's move to buy flowers, all the flower shops in the imperial capital were out of stock for a long time to come. Even some aristocrats who want to buy some flowers to please their wives or lovers face an embarrassing situation where flowers have a price but no market.

Many, many years later, there was an anecdote. A certain nobleman said to his children, That winter, in order to catch up with your mother, what I sent was not flowers, but dogtail grass collected from the wild... I'm not stingy! Hmph, at that time, even if Someone offered one hundred gold coins. I searched all over the imperial capital, but there is nowhere to buy it!

...

…………

On February 17th, the third day after Duke Tulip bought out the stocks of all flower shops in the imperial capital.

It was also the tenth day of the announcement made by the Prince Regent to call in the private armies of the lords from all over the mainland.

A group of envoys from the grasslands came to the imperial capital with a high profile. This group of grassland envoys came by boat and made great fanfare along the way. After arriving in the imperial capital, they directly handed over a credentials to the imperial minister of ceremonies!

This letter of credence was issued in the name of the current Prairie King Saladin. Saladin declared in this credential. He had inherited the throne of the Prairie King two months ago. Became the supreme king on the grassland, commanding all the ministries of the grassland.

This letter of credence is to ask the empire to officially recognize the legitimacy of his throne. At the same time, he asked the Roland Empire to change the peace agreement between the two countries that Du Wei participated in negotiating a few years ago, requiring the empire to open ore to the grassland. Trade routes for ironware, grain, and other materials. At the same time, the empire was required to change the Northwest Corridor to a buffer area for both parties.

In addition, at the end of this letter of credence, Saladin stated very straightforwardly: He heard that the northern line of the Roland Empire was at war with alien races, and His Majesty Saladin Prairie King, with his kind heart, expressed that since he was dealing with alien races, , then the ministries of the prairie are also in the human camp, and he is willing to lead the 500,000 cavalry from the prairie ministries to help the battle! !

threaten! !

Naked threats! !

After reading this letter of credence, the Minister of Etiquette was almost so angry that his nose was crooked.

If it is almost rude to ask for the opening of scarce materials such as ore, ironware, and grain in the grassland, then asking the empire to cede the Northwest Corridor as a buffer area for non-garrison is tantamount to asking the empire to sell its own Get out the door!

And in the end, as for personally leading the 500,000 cavalry from various tribes in the grassland to help Yunyun... the intention is even more blatantly intimidating! !

Let half a million prairie cavalry enter the country? What a joke! !

However, he was angry, and the Minister of Etiquette did not dare to delay this kind of matter. After receiving the letter of credence, he immediately went to the palace and presented himself to the regent.

After reading the Certificate of Credence that was unreasonable, the regent didn't seem to be angry at all.

He just nodded, threw the letter of credence on the desk, and replied lightly: Understood, you go back.

This is... this is the end?

Don't you call a meeting of the big bosses?

Don't discuss countermeasures? .

Doesn't call up the military to mobilize the army?

Even if they don't do anything, at least they have to draft a reply letter to severely reprimand these prairie people! !

Not to mention that the Minister of Etiquette left the palace in a daze...

After the regent drove away the Minister of Etiquette, he picked up the credential again, read it again, then dropped it, and smiled slightly.

Saladin's big talk has no end. The former prairie king's old ministry is still fighting in the north of the prairie. He, Saladin, has not yet unified the prairie ministries. His 'prairie king' now only controls less than half of the territory on the prairie. That's all. 500,000 cavalry? Hmph... To deal with the other ministries that have not yet surrendered, if Saladin really wants to fight us, it would be a miracle that he could squeeze together 50,000 cavalry.

Sighing, the regent closed his eyes and thought for a while, then murmured: Du Wei, Du Wei... you let Saladin make trouble on purpose, so I can't transfer your private tulip army? Your servant A move of chess, what is it...

※#8226;

What's my next move?

Du Wei was sitting in the yard, enjoying the snow in winter. On the big tree in the yard, there were still white ice edges hanging from the treetops. Du Wei was sitting in a wheelchair, smiling, looking at the guests in front of him.

Mrs. Liszt sat opposite Du Wei. She didn't have Du Wei's weird body. It was still very cold to sit outside and enjoy the snow in this weather.

My lord duke, the matter has come to this... are you just sitting in the imperial capital and waiting? Mrs. Liszt looked worried.

Her family has been tightly tied to Du Wei, and now she can't withdraw even if she wants to.

In Mrs. Lister's opinion, Du Wei's recent series of actions were too reckless!

Yes, you, Du Wei, are indeed the most popular official in the empire. You have money, soldiers, and prestige.

But, after all, the arms can't twist the thighs!

Mrs. Liszt absolutely doesn't want to see Du Wei blatantly rebel! The overall situation of the empire is still stable now, and the regent can be regarded as a wise king. At this time, Du Wei is very strong, but if he openly turns against the royal family and rebels...

My next move is myself.

Du Wei looked calm, and he smiled lightly, with a trace of tiredness in his eyes, but although his words were light, they penetrated into people's heart and lungs word by word!

I'm in the imperial capital, right here in the Tulip Duke's mansion! Chen knows that no matter how powerful the Tulip family is, I'm the brains. No matter how violent the trouble is, I'm in the imperial capital... If I really rebelled, I would have He ran away secretly. And now... there is no guard left outside my house, only an old servant guards the door. I just stay in the imperial capital... If he really wants to get rid of my family, then the first one What I did was to send troops to slaughter my duke's mansion!!

After speaking, Du Wei sighed softly again: But if I don't leave, I'm here. My wife and family are all here! What will he do?

this is a problem.

This is a question that Du Wei clearly conveyed to the regent with his own, silent voice!

The fish is on the chopping board, Prince Regent, are you doing the knife? Or not to do it?

※#8226;

In the final analysis, he and I are not ordinary rulers and ministers. If he doesn't move, I won't move. If he moves... Du Wei lightly raised a finger and pointed at the treetop in front of him. With a flick of a branch and leaf, without a sound, a leaf turned into several petals under Du Wei's finger.

If he moves . . . then I have to move.

A soft word, as if with infinite loneliness.

.

【Actually, I can't bear Du Wei and Chen's renunciation when I write this, but the general plot has developed here, but it is a natural trend and cannot be reversed...Although I am the author, I am the creator of the characters and stories in my pen.

However, step by step, no matter the characters or the story, in the end, they will naturally have their own destiny and trend... I can't control it.

In the past two days, I have asked myself that my condition is good, and if I have a ticket, I will drop it!

monthly pass! monthly pass! monthly pass! ! ! 】
