Law of the Devil Chapter 164: [Gandov’s promised day]
Chapter 164 [Gandov's Promise Day]
"Left to the left! Slow down! Stupid, if you are so tied, the carriage will fall apart without getting out of a hundred miles!"
Mad instructed the servants to carry their luggage, and the boxes of mouthfuls were stacked on the carriage.
The gates of the original Earl's House of the Rolling House were busy, and six sturdy carriages were full of luggage.
After the coup turmoil, Rowling ’s family has completely collapsed. Count Raymond failed to participate in the coup. Most of the people in the family who had surnamed Rowling lost their senior official positions after the coup, and some people were even convicted. prison.
However, due to Du Wei's existence, none of the last surnames was Luo Lin was executed.
Territory is withdrawn and private forces are laid off. In just three days, this earl's house will also belong to others.
Earl Raymond, frustrated, has sold the Earl's Mansion and decided to return to his home in the Rolling Plains with his wife and son. On the one hand, it is to withdraw from the circle of the imperial capital. On the other hand, it is also to openly express my position: I just want to return to my hometown to be a rich man.
Earl Raymond's years of career, it is impossible for Count Raymond to have no political opponents, and it is necessary to guard against incidents.
Most of the original servants and guards of Fugong were dismissed, and Count Raymond, who had lost his title, did not have to keep so many servants and followers.
Now there are only ten loyal servants and Captain Alpha with sixty elite guards from the Rolling family. Other than that, the old count seemed to have little power.
Since Du Wei exchanged the back cover with his father for the father's life, the coup d'état ended, and most of the other leaders landed, but Count Raymond left a life to return. This has already surprised the beautiful countess.
Looking at the yard full of mess, and the shattered bottles and cans, between busy servants and guards, Count Raymond just looked calm. The beautiful countess cried for a long time before holding Dewey, Then comforted by Dewey's smile, he finally stepped onto the carriage.
And Gabri ... Du Wei couldn't help but sigh at the thought of this younger brother.
It seems. My brother is a little strange about himself.
Because just last night, the young Gabriel caught up with Du Wei, and asked Du Wei directly: "Can I stay with the Imperial City with you?"
Looking at the childish Gabri, Du Wei sighed: "... No."
"Why?" Gabri clenched his fists, his expression and tone were very excited: "I am from the Luo Lin family. I want to stay in the imperial capital. I will build my career here and restore my family's glory in the future! I do n’t Go back to the countryside. There is no hope back there ... "
Du Wei took a picture of his brother: "Wait two years. I will pick you up in two years. It's not the time."
Gabri heard this, his face was deeply disappointed, he took a complex look at his brother, and then turned around and left silently.
At the departure point this morning. Gabriel got into the carriage early, and didn't even talk to Dewey again.
Childish grumpy Du Wei smiled bitterly.
Looking at the servants packing everything, looking at the countless empty Earl's Mansion. This is the place where Dewey lived for ten years. He once grew up here. Study in the back building, study magic, and learn astrology.
Earl Raymond patted him lightly behind him, and Dewey turned around. Earl Raymond's white robe was spotlessly clean, and his face was a little emotional.
"Ready ..." Du Wei looked at his father with a grin.
"Yes. Ready." Count Raymond threw two broken boxes at the corner with his fingers: "Sit down and talk with me for a while. Since I was released to go home, we have not been good Talked. "
Dou Wei nodded. The father and son, a former count and a current duke, sat down on two broken boxes in the corner of the yard.
"You still haven't listened to me." Count Raymond said, "It seems to me that you have never heard me, including this time. I tell you, don't try to save me Life. But you still do it. "
Du Wei looked into his father's eyes: "First. You are my father, although objectively speaking. The relationship between us has not been very good. But you are my father, you have raised me more than a dozen Year. Second ... If you die, your mother and brother will be very sad. As for third ... I am me, and I can't do the kind of politician you ask for now. "
Count Raymond nodded: "Then I should thank you, at least I can come back here and live with your mother and your brother."
The father and son fell into silence again. It seemed that the two were together, and there was always little common language, including when Count Raymond was in the prison of the inspectorate. When Dewey went to see him, they only talked about Coups, situations, families, and so on.
Finally, Count Raymond broke the silence: "I heard that your back cover is the province of Desa."
"Yes." Du Wei smiled bitterly: "I can't think of anything better than where."
"Then you must be very clear about the situation in that place." Count Raymond sighed: "I am familiar with that place. Twenty years ago, the expedition to the Northwest Territories. Used as an expeditionary rear strategic base. That place ... is ... "
"What do you want to say? Wild? Barren? Or broken?" Du Wei smiled bitterly.
"To be precise, it is both barren and barren, but also very run-down." Count Raymond suddenly joked: "In fact, we were even going to lead alien troops out of the desert, preferably to Desa. If you do n’t have to go to war, that place is a great battlefield. Anyway, even if you mess up, the central empire wo n’t feel bad.
"I know all of what you said." Du Wei also smiled rare: "I looked through a lot of information and maps, the land in Desa province is barren, and there are no minerals. The only thing that is commendable, It is precisely its geographical location, right next to the northwest corridor of Mount Kilimaro. If the northwest turmoils again, that place will become a battlefield at any time, and it will always be the line of alien attack after desert. " /
Count Raymond nodded, he was relieved that the son knew his territory very well.
"So, what I want to remind you is ..." Count Raymond took a deep breath: "With my many years of experience in the military. According to my estimates, after the war more than twenty years ago, Over the past few years, the vitality of the Northwestern alien land should have gradually recovered. The barbarous enemies that were born that year will never be forgotten. In my estimation, in the maximum 10 years, the Northwest will definitely be in chaos again. At that time, your territory will bear the brunt ... "
Du Wei frowned.
This is what my father said. How did he not know? I had no choice but to choose the worst territory in exchange for my father's life.
Du Wei also wanted to pick frozen forests! But there is still a lot of good in the frozen forest, at least there are abundant products!
What's in Desa Province? Large expanses of desertified land! Saline land! That place is said to have scaryly low food production on the land there. I am afraid that the best plant to grow is even a cactus!
The only thing that is barely good is that it is backed by the Kilimaro Mountains in the northwest. The Kilimaro Mountains are not rich in minerals. The only ones are stones and trees.
That place. There are many caravans to and from the city, but the problem is that there are many horse thieves in the desert!
"Since you know all of this, I have saved a lot of effort to explain it to you." Count Raymond looked somber and slowly said, "My advice to you is: Armed weapon! From my perspective, Within ten years, the Northwest will definitely have to fight another battle. It will be a test for you. Maybe it will be an opportunity. Whenever the war, the mediocre people can only be cannon fodder, but outstanding people can also Taking advantage of it! Now that you are in the northwestern part of the country, it can be regarded as promising. I have been in the military all my life. Although I have fallen down the stage and can not help you much, even my own life is saved by you. But I was There are still a lot of old subordinates and colleagues. Things like humanity are still useful. "
End. Count Raymond took a thin book from his arms and passed it into Dewey's hand. He sighed: "This is the situation of some of my former colleagues in the Shahu Army Corps in the northwest. The northwest has always been awesome. The local factions are very strong. Those of us in the Central Military Department are very crowded there. Some of my former colleagues are not very well mixed, but some small help can still be done. This is their current official position, as well as personality and temperament, etc. There are several places The general of the garrison also received some benefits from me in the past. Although things are wrong, some people may turn their backs on them, but hope that there are one or two conscience people who can look at the benefits of that year and give you advice. Some doors of convenience. "
Du Wei accepted this booklet and thanked his father gratefully.
"And one more I want to remind you!" Count Raymond Shen said: "This place in the northwest is completely different from here! The folks in that place are defended by the folks. Those guys in the northwest army are all one by one. Become a local warlord's character, dare to pull a knife and cut people at every turn! Those guys are some rogue bosses who do n’t even buy the military. You remember me, although you are now the duke ’s respect, but if you Going to the northwest, don't put any duke's shelves in front of the old warlords in the northwest army. Although most of them have titles that are far lower than you, in the final analysis, many secrets are actually half soldiers Half bandit guy! If you do n’t dare to deal with you, you will bite you in secret. ”Speaking of this, Count Raymond looked at Dewey ’s eyes:“ Do you know? That place is not untouched. Sealed out! At least as far as I know, in the past few decades, the place has been sealed to two counts, and those two counts were not weak. As a result, after going to the northwest ... hmm ... "
Du Wei took care: "How about?"
"The first person was a nobleman who developed his family's commercial strength. After he finally got the land, he put the aristocracy in front of the tyrants of the Northwest Army. As a result, he was played by the Northwest Army in less than six months. Dead. It is said that he offended two commanding generals, and as a result, his house was blood-washed by a group of 'horses'. The matter was clear to us, but the backstage of the little noble was not hard, Those guys in the Northwest Army held heavy soldiers, and the big brothers in the army were unwilling to offend people too much. They pressed the army for a few months. It was a little punishment, and things were overshadowed. "A pause, Lei Count Meng continued: "The second person. It is a bit background. That guy is also an earl. His family background is still from the Imperial Army. His uncle Fangfang is also the deputy commander of the Southern Army. Because of the relationship, he got a hereditary. The knighthood, but the land was a little worse, and got to that place in the northwest. When the guy first arrived in the northwest, but relying on his own military origin, he did not buy the northwest army's account, as a result Almost died. But this time the Northwest Army did not dare to openly kill people. It secretly led the horse thief to steal some of his family's goods. Although his private army was also brought from the south to the elite. But in that place in the northwest, only Reluctantly to protect himself, something happened. The **** of the Northwest Army did not send any soldiers, so they waited for him to come and plead. He knocked on him a lot. The guy supported for two years, knowing that he couldn't keep mixing, and finally asked for himself. Removed the fiefdom and returned to the south. "
Duvey exhaled.
After all, he just looks from the map and information. Where is the old man in the military who knows so deeply? From this point of view, those guys in the Northwest Army are really bandits and they are particularly exclusive.
I want to take root in the northwest. I'm afraid it's not easy.
After explaining this, Earl Raymond stood up: "I can only help you. Although that place is a place of tigers and wolves, but Du Wei, I am still very optimistic about you. With your intelligence and ability It should not be difficult to take root in the Northwest. The difficult thing is how to build your power. In this world, there is no own power. It is absolutely impossible. And the war in the Northwest is in front of you. These years are your precious Development period. You must level your territory within a few years, establish authority, and deeply root your land on that land. This is the most important test ... And if you ca n’t even do this, If it is good, then it can only show that you are not worthy of your power at all, or go home and become a rich man. "
Father and son hugged each other a little, it was farewell.
Du Wei took his father out of the door and got on the carriage, then waved to the mother in the carriage and looked at the mother who was crying. Du Wei smiled and said, "Mother, after a few days, I will go to Rollin See you in the plain. "
Another sight saw Gabri sitting unhappyly, Du Wei moved, walked over, and laughed: "Brother, I left a lot of interesting things in my home castle, just behind the castle, I built At a manor house, the last day of my mother ’s birthday, the "Dawn of Goddess Forgiveness" and the flying hot air balloon were all left there. After you go back, if you are interested, you can Take a look. "
Consoling a few more words, the young Gabri only loosened his face, glanced at Du Wei, and said firmly, "Brother, I will come to you when I grow up!"
On this day, the once-famous Luo Lin family left the capital completely. A long convoy, a dozen horse-drawn carriages, hundreds of servants and guards, protecting the three Earl Raymond, headed to the original home of the Rollin Plains.
However, to Dewey's surprise, the loyal guard captain Alpha did not leave with Count Raymond.
"Master Earl has orders." Alpha looked at the young master in front of him: "From today on, I will no longer be part of the Rowling family, and I will be loyal to you, Lord Duke Rudolph."
Dave away his parents and brother, but Du Wei has no time to be sad.
He still has a lot to do. Set up a team at the new territory immediately.
As the government order goes underground, all officials in the original province of Desa will leave. Du Wei must organize a group of trusted people to take over the government of the entire province!
Be barren or desolate, after all, it is a province! Local officials, officials, even just a small clerk ... these all need a lot of people to fill in!
What's in Dudu's hand?
He has some of the top powerhouses in the mainland. But officials ...
Thinking and thinking, you can't let the pirates be the parents of a province in the northwest?
Think about a bunch of pirates becoming local officials, and in the fish town, Du Wei felt cold sweats.
Lack of people!
Serious shortage!
According to practice, the transfer of government affairs in such a sealed territory usually takes about three months. But in three months. Where did Du Wei find a group of usable officials?
He really wanted to call out the group of the Rolling family who had been laid off on the original Rollin Plain, but later found that it couldn't! Because the Luo Lin family is a convicted family, even the original administrative officials who took those Luo Lin family territories have been laid off, and all have been degraded to civilians and never hired!
He can make some small wrists to preserve his father's name, and he can use Prince Chen to make a fuss about his glory, but if he dares to get the officials of Luo Lin's family to the northwest ... wouldn't it be brazen Copy a Rollin Plain in the northwest? Even if Prince Chen treats himself differently, it is absolutely impossible to allow it.
After thinking about it, Du Wei suddenly saw the old housekeeper who was also in a daze with him. Former groom, Mr. Made.
"Uh ... Mad." Du Wei blinked, looked at this loyal old groom, and laughed: "Your chairman of the Football Association, it seems that it can't be done anymore, Rollin Plain is not ours anymore. Now ... but, are you interested in being the governor of a province again? "
Governor?
Old Mad was scared and almost softened on the spot, and quickly came up and hugged Du Wei's leg. Affectionately wept and cried: "Never master, please ... look at me, how can you look like a governor!"
Du Wei rubbed his temples hard: "Well, where can I go to find someone? Three months ... three months!"
He lifted up the old Mad, and Du Wei looked at the sky, and suddenly remembered something: "Mad. What's the date today?"
"June 15th." Mader was relieved when he saw that the young master stopped talking about the Governor's affairs.
Old Mad is an honest man. He has a simple simplicity that is almost peasant: he knows himself very well, and he knows that he definitely does not have the kind of life that can be governor of a province!
No blessing. Sit on that position, but you will be punished!
June 15th?
As soon as Du Wei's eyes lighted, he thought of a big event in his heart, and immediately cried, "Mad, get me a horse! I'm going out, alone!"
After a pause, he asked again: "Is there a Pegasus town in the northwest of the imperial capital? There is also a place called Yuemazhudi?"
Before the sun went down, Dewey rode on his own. A ride on the dust, went out from the west gate of the imperial capital and headed for the northwest acropolis.
The guards of the city gates have recognized this hot young juvenile duke. When he saw the duke's look anxiously, how could he stop him? Far way out of the way.
Holding the green magic prop left by Old Gandorf in his arms, according to Gandorf's testament, as long as the full moon is tonight, the magic firework is lit in Yuematu ... I could see that Gandalf asked for it. You can be your own magic teacher!
The Pegasus town is not hard to find. It's just that what a "jumping horse" made Du Wei spend a lot of effort to find. Began to ask the locals. The locals said that they had not heard of the name, and finally Du Wei got the message in the mouth of an old coachman of a horse and carriage company:
"Yuematu? You mean the hillside outside that town? That place was called Yuematu, because it is said that in ancient times there were a group of **** horses that jumped between two peaks. But Now, few people remember that name. That place is in the northwest of the town. It's easy to find. Two dirt hills with a ditch in the middle! But the legend is rarely known now. Later, because I saw the two hills. Looks like, people here have given them a new name. "
"Oh, what's that place now?"
"Brokeback Mountain."
Du Wei: "... my day."
All the way out of the town to the northwest, Du Wei finally rushed to the "Broken Back Mountain" when the sun went down.
Looking at the night, Du Weitzer entered a forest, and then went into a ravine between the two slopes. Obviously, this ravine was rarely visited on weekdays. The ravine is a path full of gravel. Walking is already difficult.
Du Wei simply abandoned the horse and walked in.
Far away, after walking through the ravine, I finally found an open space under the Leaping Horse written in Gandorf's posthumous writing.
Du Wei looked away, but found that under the night, there was a fire faintly in the open space, and a thin figure sitting beside the fire holding his knees looked very lonely.
The flame was weak, and the man turned his back on Dewey, curled up into a ball, as if still shaking. Du Wei approached gently, and faintly heard a sigh.
"God ... please, please, bless poor little, Xiaowei Wei'an ... small, Xiao Weiwei'an is so cold now, so well, so hungry ..."
