Law of the Devil Chapter 268: [See a ghost]
Chapter 268 [See Ghost]
Ai Lu suddenly looked up at Du Wei, her face was sober, she said, "I ... I have one thing. What the **** are you doing? Just now you actually chanted the spell of Da Xue Shan Witchcraft ... these Things, outsiders are absolutely not fake! How did you learn these things? "
Duhaha smiled: "I do n’t know anything about you, there are more! In the future, you obediently help me do things. Hmm ... that Baihe worry can be your teacher, teach you witchcraft, do I just Ca n’t teach you witchcraft? Is your wizard in Daisetsuzan great? If you want to learn it, I will slowly teach you everything. ”
In my heart, I thought: The book of witchcraft was left by Gu Lan Xiu. Although Bai He Chou is powerful, he is also an apprentice taught by Gu Lan Xiu. Compared to Bai He Chou Hui, Gu Lan Xiu must be. However, qualifications vary from person to person. Bai Hechou is better than blue out of blue. The apprentice defeated the teacher. But the methods of witchcraft should be the same.
Seeing the shock of Ai Lu's face, Du Wei said nothing, smiled and dipped the water in the bucket in the cell, and randomly drew a symbol on the table. It is a symbol of witchcraft formation in Daxueshan sorcery.
Ai Lu looked even more surprised.
Du Weiha laughed, thinking, this little girl's mind is too simple, I'm afraid I have a fight with my cute little Vivian. Leaving her alone here, I'm afraid she can't figure it out by herself and has committed suicide again. Well, she doesn't die, it has nothing to do with me, but ... if such a beautiful little girl is dead, I will always feel guilty.
Thinking of it, he stepped out of the door. A personal guard was called in, and he was ordered to bring two female "prey" rescued from Lu Gao. He thought of the beautiful young girl named "Hanyue" in his mind, and named him casually.
In a short while, Hanyue and the other two girls were brought over.
Several days of cultivation, these few beautiful girls are already beautiful, and the face has long faded. After being neatly dressed, the girl's charm is undoubtedly revealed. And the girl named Hanyue. It looks like a flock of chickens standing out, and its unconventional appearance and temperament seem to stand out.
Since Ailu has helped herself so much, Du Wei will not let her continue to live in the cell, and asked someone to clean up a room inside the castle floor, and let Ailu live in, again To a few girls in Hanyue, "You will continue to train as usual, this person. I will also take care of you. This girl is a bit stupid, I'm afraid she wants to commit suicide without meeting. You show her her favor if she dies ... Neither of you need to live. Do you understand? "
A few girls agreed tremblingly, and Du Wei glanced at Ai Lu with a stunned look. He sighed, walked over, turned his back on Han Yue and others, and pinched Ai Lu's chin. Gaze into her eyes, and show the despicable and charming eyes, whispered in the mouth: "If you listen to me, you must not die, understand?"
After seeing the clearness in Ai Lu's eyes gradually disappearing, after a slang-like answer in her mouth. Du Wei was relieved, and then left alone.
The remaining girls in the room were still panicked. It's Hanyue, the most daring. Walked carefully to Ai Lu's side, crouched slowly, and said softly, "How are you ... how about you?"
Ai Lu was confused, raised his head, but saw a girl who was more than half as beautiful as herself, first froze, then worried, and frowned again: "You ... you Who is it ... leave me alone. Just leave me alone. "
Han Yue groaned. But slowly sat beside Ai Lu. Reaching out for a moment to embrace Ailu, he said softly, "Hmm. I know ... you must be afraid of the Duke, aren't you? In fact, you don't have to be afraid. The Duke, although looking terrible, is actually very good to us Yes. "
Seeing that Ai Lu was still not talking, Han Yue's voice was softer and whispered: "Actually ... I heard that the Duke is very kind-hearted. In the northwest, everyone is praising him. ... but everything will follow him in the future, whatever he orders, we will do it, Lord Duke will never scold you, right?
Ailu stumbled and whispered to himself: "Well ... whatever he said, I'll do it ... is that right?"
Dou Wei made such a noise in the evening. During the later negotiations, this Hamuye's attitude towards De Wei really was very good, his words were very cautious, and he followed the etiquette. Later on, he opened up the conditions for Du Wei. Although Han Muye also tried to reason, he was a lot softer. And often as long as Du Wei showed a little toughness, Hammuye had to loose his tone.
As a result, strong and weak judgments were passed, and the negotiations quickly went smoothly. In addition to the horses and sheep that were talked about before. With regard to the writing of the State Book, Han Muye also made concessions as much as possible, and even signed the "Summary" book.
Du Wei was relieved, but could not help thinking about it: I knew that impersonating a wizard would have so many benefits. I might as well start talking about the lion and ask for some war horses. However, this thought also passed away, and he knew in his heart that if he did too much, the other party would still doubt it.
Fortunately, there is no phone in this world. It is impossible for negotiators outside to keep in touch with the leaders at the rear. Besides pretending to be a Daxueshan wizard, unless the other person goes to Daxueshan to verify himself, it is simply not. Unable to check.
When the two parties finally signed the contract on the last day of the negotiation, the prairie people took the initiative to make peace and at the same time they were willing to pay Roland empire horses and sheep plus some odds and ends. In addition, the two sides also signed a friendly agreement, promising to never infringe on each other's borders, and AIA will make good friends.
Of course, Du Wei himself ignored it in the last sentence. What friendships are good and do not infringe each other are shit. After the two parties have cultivated energy, once they decide to fight, any peace treaty is a waste of paper.
Du Wei and Earl Villa signed the letter with the emissaries respectively. Originally, he refused to sign. He argued that he was only assisting Dewey. However, in the future, the negotiations went smoothly and the results were unsatisfactory, so I was not afraid of anything and agreed to sign. My heart was strange. Why in the next few days, this Hamuye seemed to be afraid of Dewey, and it was really amazing that Dewey had tolerated us as the little duke.
This book cannot be effective directly after the two sides have initialed it. It is also necessary to send someone to send it to the capital to show it to Prince Chen, after the Regent King signs it. To take effect. Prior to this, this Muhammad had to live longer with Dewey.
However, Han Muye seemed to be really afraid of the tents that Du Wei had given him, and on the same day, when Allu and Du Wei impersonated the wizard, he warned him intentionally not to get involved in Snow Mountain in search of pets and not to provoke this. Duke of Tulips. Hanmuye conjectured that if he continued to live in Roland and wait for the State Book, it would take more than ten days to come and go. Maybe even longer. The Duke of Tulips has a very strange temperament. He stayed here by himself, and if he was not careful, he would offend him in words, which would destroy the events of the wizards on the Snow Mountain. So he offered to go to the capital with the Count Villa. Earl Villa agreed without thinking too much.
Du Wei sent the two away, and wrote a separate letter for Villa to take back to Prince Chengchen Chen. The letter stated about the abolition of the 20,000 cavalry on the prairie. As soon as the two left, the negotiations came to an end, and Du Wei finally took a rest.
Then the following person made an obituary, saying that they had received the news that the soldiers originally stationed in the Northwest Army ’s card post above the Northwest Corridor have gradually withdrawn. Du Wei listened and fell into meditation.
Honestly, how can we effectively control this corridor. He didn't think about it till now. Before the Northwest Army secretly communicated with the prairie people, the card post was nothing more than a crippled archway and deaf ears. Now that we are going back to the Northwest Corridor, how to effectively control there and prevent grassland people from sneaking in is the top priority.
Since thinking about it, Du Wei didn't have a very good idea. That place cannot build a city. No water. How many people go to the rear to send water, the cost is really overwhelming.
Du Wei also thought about it. Want to dig underground water. But this world, after all, is different from previous lives. The limit of digging groundwater in this world is just hitting ordinary wells. In the past, as Du Wei knows, using technology, you can hit hundreds of meters underground or even deeper to get water at will. In this world, it is absolutely impossible.
Du Wei has also been ruthless in his heart. Otherwise, he would have made a lot of gunpowder and would have collapsed both sides of the Northwest Corridor Canyon! Seal the entire northwest corridor!
But this idea was immediately denied by himself. The northwest corridor is the only way to the grassland. It is also the only business way for business groups and noble families in the entire Roland Empire to do business with prairie people and trade cattle, sheep, horses, and livestock! If you dare to risk the world and do this kind of thing that cuts people's money, I'm afraid that all the business groups in the world and countless aristocratic families will hate themselves. Moreover, his territory is on the frontier, the agriculture is backward, the land is barren, and the largest income in finance depends on business taxes. If the business road is cut off, there will be no border trade in the future. How many years can we support by relying on our own resources? Du Wei was unwilling to arbitrarily break his fortune.
So ... get a water pipe to the northwest corridor? This thought flashed, and Dewey laughed first.
Easy to talk about! Loulan Lake is the largest source of water, but Loulan Lake is also far away from the Northwest Corridor! Want to make pipes? The world's smelting technology and metal construction do not have this level.
How can we keep the gate of the Northwest Corridor intact ...
Abominable Lu Gao, he must be waiting to see my joke.
For the time being, there is no good strategy. Du Wei made a big swipe and dispatched hundreds of people to the Northwest Corridor, stationed in a few checkpoints left by the Northwest Army. For the time being, follow the previous model. It is impossible for a few hundred people to guard such a wide corridor, and it can only serve as a warning. Just tell them to be on the alert, and if something happens, set off a fire alert. Beyond that, Dewey doesn't have a great solution for the time being.
The month passed quickly. There was news from the imperial capital that the regent had signed the credentials and asked Hammuye to return to the grassland. The military friction between the two sides has come to an end. Du Wei was relieved when he heard the news: Prince Chen finally agreed to abolish 20,000 cavalry places on the grassland.
The Hamuye is interesting. After getting the national script, he returned to the grassland. Actually, he didn't pass Loulan City, but walked around the road intentionally, and went directly to the grassland without meeting Du Wei. Dewey knew what Han Muye was afraid of, and didn't break it. Some of his subordinates were angry at this grassland messenger, and Du Wei passed away with a smile.
Count Villa came to the northwest again, this time with a secret letter. The letter was sealed with fire paint, and Dewey could still feel a wave of magical restraint on it. At night, one person opened it in the room to see, it was Prince Chen's handwriting.
The beginning of this letter praised Du Wei for a few words, saying that he did a great job this time. Even if the empire's face is preserved, it also gains practical benefits. He also mentioned that Du Wei had led his family's private army to fight against the prairie in Giliat this time, and said a few words of intimate consolation and encouragement. At the same time, he also faintly said that although the nominal results were taken away by the Northwest Army, his regent would not forget Dewey's credit. In this compensation to the prairie people, the Empire and Dewey split equally. Nominally, he praised Du Wei for his successful negotiations. In fact, he rewarded him for his merit and compensated him for his loss.
Dowie sees here. Satisfied in the heart: It seems that this prince Chen really did something on the road!
It's a good mood to see here. But looking back, I frowned a little.
Regarding the abolition of 20,000 cavalry on the grassland, Prince Chen said. The imperial capital ’s central government had already expressed this intention. Now the military command has unified their opinions and is willing to withdraw their troops, but they do not agree to give Duwei 20,000 people. Although Naduvi used the method proposed by Mrs. Liszt to nominally station this army in his own territory and to hang it in the name of the official army land, the leaders of the imperial army still cannot accept this kind of pride The practice of degrading official forces to private forces. Prince Chen just took office soon. He also said that he did not want to be too rigid with the military commander. After finally bargaining, he promised to give Du Wei two cavalry regiments ... that is ...
Six thousand people?
Due to this, Du Wei can't help but crooked his nose.
Where is the meaning of the military boss? It is clear that the little regent is not willing to give the military power to himself! I was caught between the prairie men and the Northwest Army, and the strength was weak. If there was a complete cavalry division, 20,000 people. At least a deterrent to the enemy.
If there are only a few thousand people ... who cares?
Fortunately. Prince Chen probably understood that Du Wei would probably be dissatisfied, so he said compensatively: these 6,000 people. It is not divided according to the establishment, but 20,000 people are lined up, with Du Wei picking over 6,000!
After the selection, the remaining people will be drawn back to Emperor Chen to enrich the Royal Guard.
Du Wei was a little dissatisfied at first, but then she was relieved: In fact, the Emperor's capital was also taken seriously by the two people. It was just camping on the grassland before, it was too expensive to feed. If you withdraw once again ... these 20,000 people are rare soldiers! After all, it is an iron ride on the grassland!
Prince Chen is not a fool, how could he easily give such a soldier to himself. My previous thoughts were indeed a bit disparaging of the regent.
"Six thousand is six thousand." Du Wei sighed, secretly thinking that he already had three thousand cavalry in his hands, plus these six thousand, when the Liszt family moved to the northwest, there were more than two thousand white feathers. With the addition of the Knights, there are also more than 10,000 people. If you recruit a few more, you can barely make up 20,000 division divisions. It's just that the combat effectiveness is not as good as a complete grassland cavalry division.
After reading the secret letter, Du Wei then burned the letter over a fire candle.
Later, Earl Villa, who had just washed away the dust, was invited to talk.
"When I set off, the military command was issued quickly, and the cavalry division on the grassland would be transferred soon. By then, the military's order was to let these 20,000 people come to Loulan The city, specifically, Your Highness has said to the Duke in the letter, I need not repeat it. "Count Villa, dressed in a Chinese suit, looked much better than when he came to the last negotiation. Obviously, the burden of negotiation has gone, and the whole person is a lot easier.
Du Wei nodded: "What's going on in the Imperial City?"
"It's very interesting to say." Villa smiled slightly: "The main battle and the main faction gradually became less noisy, after all, even after the signing of the national script, everyone has nothing to say, It ’s just that the temple seems a little unsettled recently. I heard some rumors in the workshop ... It seems that there is some criticism of the Duke ’s actions in the northwest.
"Oh?" Dewey frowned.
Lao Tzu to his current position. Doesn't seem to offend the temple positively?
Villa smiled slightly: "Did you order the captured prairie captives after the last battle of Gilliat City, all tied to the pillars, and pulled to various places to march? Later all the captives died Nothing has survived. It is this thing that makes the temple very disapproving of your approach. Especially the Highness of the Virgin ... hehe, she criticized your brutality in public, saying such an approach. The goddess of light has mercy on the world ... hehe. "
Du Wei nodded: "Sir ... what do you say about the temple?"
"In terms of the temple, it is vaguely in support of the maiden's statement, but it has not made a public statement. But at this time, keeping silent, even if it is the default of the maiden's argument."
Villa hesitated a moment, and said, "Master Duke, I have a suggestion. I don't know ..."
"Please say it, Uncle Villa." Du Weihaha smiled: "Did you forget? In private, don't call me a duke."
"Hmm." Count Villa nodded his head: "I heard that the original shrine was to set up a place of worship in your capital. But it seems that you are not very supportive ... and even heard you secretly stalk Things ... "
Du Wei immediately called Qu: "Where is it! The temple was sent. Although my new city has just been established, it is getting more and more prosperous. The land is expensive. His temple is not willing to buy it, but it's nothing to me! "
Villa laughed a little awkwardly, and glanced at Du Wei: "Looking at all parts of the empire ... dare to let the temple pay for the land to set up a religious place. Lord Duke is the first one."
Religious places around the empire. As usual, how can a local magistrate or noble lord dare to ask the temple to pay for the land itself? As soon as I heard that the temple was to be set up as a religious place, of course, all the best sites were given away for free.
Du Wei Dan Dan said: "My city is newly built and I am not a believer in the temple. I do n’t do donations. Is it because of this that the temple hates me? Besides ... in the empire .It ’s not just me, Du Wei, who is not a believer. "
Villa smiled slightly: "This is just one of them. His Highness embarrassed you, most probably just ... well, for the late prince. But don't worry about it, attack You are attacking the Regent, and it is involved in the affairs of the late prince. The regent is sure to fix you. This is the political position. It will never be shaken.
Dewey knows. Nodded and smiled: "However, the regent was very forgiving to the maiden. It was the woman who provoked herself ... alas. I don't think the maiden's mind may be good."
Villaha laughed, then lowered his voice, and said, "Well, I heard your Highness ... He said: If you want to hit a mouse, the most feared thing is that the mouse retracted into the hole and had nowhere to start. As long as the mouse can reveal a tail and pull it, it will be easy to handle. The temple and us have always been inseparable. Although the coup supported the Emperor Chen on the day of the coup, Chen also paid an unclear price behind him! So , We do n’t have to share the temple ’s affection. In the future, we still have to fight. However, the temple has always been cautious and prudent. It is not easy to start ... leaving this stupid woman, even if the tail of this mouse is caught by us Even if the temple is more cautious, as long as this woman is constantly upsetting, there will always be something wrong. At that time, there will be excuses to blame the temple! The temple itself must show mercy and try to protect the saint ... Huh ... "
These words are considered to be complete, so that Du Wei also moved in his heart ... This old fox, who has always been Mingzhe to protect himself, always hit haha when facing these key issues, why is he so intimate with himself today? She dared to say in front of herself that the saint is a "stupid woman". She mentioned the temple with no respect, and she said Du Wei as the most intimate person.
Du Wei was puzzled, and looked at Count Villa. Count Villa laughed for a while, then coughed, and said, "Actually ... this time, I am here, except to send a message to His Royal Highness. In addition, Your Highness has another entrustment to me. But it is a private matter, but it is not good to come to you with fanfare. You can only send me a trip.
"Oh?" Du Wei moved.
Earl Villa ’s face became more and more kind: “Du Wei, you ’re already fifteen years old. According to our custom of Roland, you are already an adult. But in the noble circle, men who have reached fifteen years of age, They all get married immediately. Even if they do n’t get married right away, they have a marriage contract. But now you are red and hot, and you do n’t know how many giants are staring at you tightly. If it ’s not because Northwest is too much It ’s bitter cold, and someone ca n’t wait to send her daughter over! Haha ... I ’d like to say something rude, but I do n’t have a daughter in Villa. Otherwise, I ’m going to propose to you. ”
Du Wei smiled, feeling a little faint.
"The Regent King looks very good to you. I am very proud. I think we have no such place in the history of Roland. He asked me to ask you ... Well, His Highness Chen has one year. Fang's fifteen-year-old sister is the daughter-in-law of Her Majesty Augustine VI, among all the princesses of the land. He has the best relationship with prince Chen. This princess is also very famous in the capital, beautiful and charming. Some people have compared her with Miss Angel of the Liszt family. Although I have not seen Miss Angel, I have seen this princess, and she is indeed a country and a daughter of the royal family, both in manners and manners. All are the best choices ... So, His Highness Chen sent me to the Northwest, and there is one more thing, your marriage! "
Du Wei couldn't help feeling a little unhappy, but smiled on his face: "Well ... It seems Uncle Villa is here to give me a kiss."
"It's not a formal marriage proposal," Villa laughed. "His Highness Chen and I spoke face-to-face. This kind of thing always requires mutual willingness between the two parties. And, although everyone in the empire wants to marry the royal family, However, His Highness Chen said. You Du Wei is definitely not the kind of influence. You may not be willing. So I just come to see what you mean. However, His Royal Highness means. Anyway, now and the prairie people are temporarily stable, short-term There will be no major events in it. It seems that it will be the end of the year. Please come back to the emperor at the end of the year. Once you come, the banquet ceremony at the end of the year. If you do not participate in the most popular grand duke of this empire, you are afraid that the color will be reduced. Less. You just arrived in the Northwest last year, and your foothold was unstable, and Your Highness Chen did not dare to summon you. This year, the situation is different. You have done a great cause in the Northwest, and you just went back to the emperor to go to the scenery ... ... Hey, above the banquet, Her Royal Highness Princess naturally has to attend the place. If it can promote the beauty of the two, my Villa can be considered a great achievement. "
Du Wei was stunned ... what is this? Blind date?
But ... The prince Chen didn't directly marry him directly, but made him date more gently, which is already quite enlightened.
It's just ... I don't even want the women of the Liszt family to marry ... Is it willing to return with a royal princess? If you have such a chess piece sent by Prince Chen, sleep on your side every day ... Huh, how can such a thing be promised!
"Well, this is the case. At the end of the year, you have to go back to the Emperor anyway. His Highness Chen's order will be sent through the official channels." Earl Villa smiled: "This The princess is beautiful and touching, and is the dream lover of countless talents of the emperor. Du Wei, you are blessed this time.
Pausing, without waiting for Dewey to speak, Villa said something again, but made Dewey dumb!
"The regent said, if ... everything is as you wish, if you are married to his sister, then you Du Wei will be a royal line! Although before ... um, before ... Rolling family was depreciated, restored The clan is impossible, but if you become a lineage of the royal family, then your father and brother will naturally have a royal relationship. In this way, according to the laws of our Roland Empire, the royal family has immunity. Although the previous decree, Raymond and your brother Gabri are not allowed to be hired for life, but if you become a royal family ... it will be different! With the name of the royal family sideline, your brother Gabri will not be blocked in the future. ! "
As soon as this is said, Du Wei's eyebrows are raised!
Good Prince Chen! What a regent! Well calculated!
Hey, you really take my Dewey's biggest weakness and grasp it accurately! !!
Du Wei was in a dilemma, and suddenly he heard a wild laugh! The sound evacuated the entire Duke's Mansion castle, and the sound was lingering with a sense of pride.
"Hahahahahaha ..."
The sound is so loud that it feels harsh across the windows and doors.
When Du Wei heard it, his face moved.
The old green hat ... has finally come out of the cellar? !!
Well, this teacher, you go out when you go out. You don't have to laugh so scary.
Looking at Villa, Du Wei laughed, "Oh, don't worry, this is one of my predecessors, a magician. He has a weird temperament. Uncle Villa, please sit down a little, I will go Come. "
After speaking, Du Wei left the door, but as soon as he reached the staircase, he saw the elder of his guard below rushing up in a hurry, panicking.
"My lord! My lord!"
"What's wrong?"
The old smoke was sweating, and shouted, "This ... the old magician who lives in the cellar has come out."
Du Wei poked his lips: "I see ... the old guy laughed so loudly, I'm not deaf."
"No ... no!" Lao Yan smiled bitterly: "The big thing is bad! The old wizard just came out, but happened to meet Mrs. Liszt! As a result, the Marquise only looked at the old wizard I do n’t know why, I screamed on the spot and was fainted! The white feather knights around the marquise were only injured by the lady, and they had surrounded the old magician, afraid that it was now fighting It's up! "
Dou Wei ’s surprise is no small feat!
The cuckold fights with the Liszt family? !!
See ... Hell!
