Chapter 293

The farce of the auction house is finally over. Du Wei tries to figure out Prince Chen's intentions, but he doesn't have a clue.

The most important thing is that I have come back to the imperial capital, but the tulip Duke is very good. He is so casual in his robe and looks unhappy.

Hearing that Du Wei was about to leave, the court emissary quickly stopped him and said, "tulip Lord... It seems that you don't have to worry too much..."

As soon as he said this, duverton glared, wondering if he was in a hurry? I've lost 16 million gold coins. How can I not worry!

"Well... According to the rules, did you put on your clothes first The court emissary sighed.

Do you think I'm not dressed

The court emissary was startled and quickly said: "of course not, it's just..." he saw Du Wei's impatience and was about to raise words to remind Du Wei of the etiquette problem. Du Wei was already angry and said: "let's go now. I'm a magician. I can't control any rules and so on."

With that, he went out of the door. Seeing that Du Wei was very angry, the court emissary thought that it was none of his business. Why should he offend the red man? So he bowed his head and went out.

He took a carriage all the way to the palace and got the order of the regent to enter the palace. The Royal Army recognized that it was Duke tulip's chariot and horse, so they checked it at random, pretended and let duvet in.

When he got into the palace, Dewey got out of the car, and someone came up to tell him that the Regent was in the garden of the palace. He asked Duke tulip to meet him.

The garden of the Royal Palace of the Roland empire. It's a strange sight on the whole continent. All the rich and noble families naturally decorate their gardens with all kinds of flowers and trees. But as the emperor of the Roland Empire, the garden in the palace seems very shabby.

For nothing else, only one kind of plant is planted in the garden of this palace

Thorns.

This thorn flower is the totem of the royal family of Roland Empire, but in fact it is not very good-looking. As the name suggests, nature has thorns, and the thorn flower is a kind of plant that grows in the arid area like a thorn vine. The thorn branches full of barbs are dotted with small white flowers. It's not really beautiful. The only thing to be praised is its tenacious vitality.

Poor palace, in order to conform to the "thorn flower family" tradition, according to the tradition. But it's depressing to plant only such a plant in the palace garden: what's good for a large area of thorns?

When Dewey came to the garden, he heard a string of children's laughter from a long distance. From a distance, I saw a group of palace warriors in gold armor around the garden. After the announcement, Du Wei went in alone.

It's winter now, and there's really not much to see in the garden. The withered thorns look like decay. However, in the garden, two children in gorgeous clothes were playing and chasing each other. Several court maids nearby were watching nervously, for fear that the children would run into the flowers and be stabbed by thorns.

Duwei finally saw Prince Chen. Today, the young Regent of the Empire, who has cost himself more than 10 million yuan, looks at the two children playing with a smile in a simple elegant white robe.

Du Wei looked at Prince Chen

It's been a year and a half since I saw him. The prince Chen seems mature and steady. They met a few days before the coup. At that time, although Prince Chen was also unpredictable. But after all, the vigor of young people is very obvious. I didn't expect to see the young Regent in less than two years. It seems that he is already reserved and dignified. He doesn't look like a young man who is less than 30 years old.

That pair of eyes is still as bright as before, but the spirit inside has completely become a kind of calm after precipitation. The only thing that has not changed is the smile around the mouth, which is still as warm as at the beginning, making life close.

Seeing Du Wei coming far away, Prince Chen smiles and says with a loud smile: "Du Wei, you are here. Come and let me have a look. Well, I haven't seen you in the Northwest for two years. You look a lot taller. "

The tone of these words is very intimate, just like the tone of a good brother I haven't seen for two years. He said hello in such a friendly tone, which made Dewey's anger unable to be sent out immediately.

Helpless, Du Wei had no choice but to suppress the anger, strode past, and then still gave a gift, coughed: "Your Highness."

Prince Chen took a close look at Du Wei. Suddenly he sighed, and his tone was even more gentle: "Du Wei... My friend, you look darker than when you were in the imperial capital in the past two years."

Du Wei light smile, language with a pun: "Northwest where perennial cold wind, bad environment, of course, I have to work more."

Chen Prince patted Du Wei's shoulder, and then cast a slightly apologetic look. In his current status, I'm afraid that the only person in the whole mainland who is qualified to pat him on the shoulder is the Regent.

"It's hard for you... I'll keep your sacrifice in mind." Prince Chen chuckled, then, without waiting for Du Wei to speak, he pointed to the two children who were playing and said with a smile, "come on, look, this is my son and daughter."

Most of the royal nobles marry early. It is said that the prince Chen married at the age of 16 and became a father at the age of 18. Dewey knows that, too. Prince Chen is 26 years old. He has a son and a daughter, and his son is eight years old. My daughter is six years old. It's just that Dewey hasn't seen it before, and it's only here today.

This pair of children saw Du Wei standing beside their father. They lived in the palace for a long time, and rarely met with outsiders. His highness Chen seldom took them to see those noble ministers. Seeing Du Wei, such a handsome young man, standing beside his father, the two children stared at Du Wei strangely with big eyes.

But the boy on the left is older after all, eight years old. He had begun to accept the etiquette education of the court. He was a little stunned. He remembered the instruction of the court etiquette teacher in his heart, but he walked two steps seriously. Then he owed his body slightly to Prince Chen. Although he still had some childlike innocence on his face, he had changed his solemn appearance and called his father to Prince Chen. Then he turned and looked at Dewey.

"This is the Duke of tulip." Prince Chen gave a hint, and the eight year old prince immediately showed a typical smile from the court etiquette teacher training. He owed his body to Du Wei, but his tender voice tried to make a serious appearance: "Hello, tulip Lord. I'm Charlie Augustine

Du Wei looked at the eight year old child as an adult, sighed in his heart, and slightly owed his body: "Hello, your highness."

It's the six-year-old Princess next to me. But as if some timid appearance, hiding behind the little prince, showing half a body, looking at Du Wei, suddenly and milk to speak, sweet voice: "you... You are the magic Duke who built a city in three months?"

There was some stuttering in the children's home, and the tone was soft and sweet, which made Du Wei think of his little wife. Looking at this beautiful little girl like a doll, she couldn't help smiling gently and said with a soft smile, "but it's the Duke, not the magic Duke."

But Prince Charles frowned and pulled his sister out from behind. Then he coughed and said, "Karina, have you forgotten the etiquette?"

The little girl put out her tongue. But clean obediently stood out. A royal ceremony was given to Dewey. Dewey didn't like the complicated etiquette, but in front of the Regent. Also had to return a half gift.

Prince Chen's sons and daughters are born very beautiful, Little Prince Charlie inherited Prince Chen's seven or eight points of appearance, born very handsome, especially the eyes, is the essence of Prince Chen. I didn't feel it when I was playing just now. Now it's quiet, but I'm very young, but I've shown some royal manners which are strictly trained.

It's little Karina. She's probably young, but she has a round face. She's fat, pink and lovely. She has light golden curly hair. She's more like a Fairy Angel. She has big blue eyes. Her eyes are so simple that people can't help loving her.

"Tulip Lord..." Karina looked at Duwei timidly. Finally, under Duwei's gentle smile, she dropped her timidity and tried to whisper: "I, I heard that northwest is very interesting. Can you tell me the story of Northwest? You... You built a city in three months. Is that true? "

Dewey nodded with a smile and crouched down. He could not help but put his hand on Karina's nose and gently scraped it. He said with a smile, "it's true. If your highness is interested, you can go to see it with your own eyes when you grow up."

Little Karina was shaved by Du Wei. Her pink face turned red. She stepped back and looked at Du Wei with big eyes. However, she was disappointed and said, "I'm going to wait until I grow up again..."

Prince Chen laughed and then looked at the attendant beside him: "take them down. It's late. Today's class should start. Tulip and I still have time to talk."

Then, the attendants on both sides came up and wanted to take the two princesses down. Little Prince Charlie still did enough etiquette and slightly owed them body before he left. Little Karina is full of curiosity at Dewey, a face not to give up the appearance, was the court maid to hold down.

When the child left, Duwei and Prince Chen were left in the garden, and the guards were all standing far away. Prince Chen turned to Duwei with a smile and said, "how about my children?"

Dewey nodded: "smart and beautiful, your highness, you are very lucky."

Prince Chen's eyes narrowed, and suddenly sighed: "being born in a royal family... May not be a blessing."

Then he shook his head. With a self mocking smile: "looking at their intimacy now, I remember when I was a child... Well, at that time, my eldest brother once took me on a horse... Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe."

Speaking of the prince who died on the day of the coup, Dewey closed his mouth and said nothing.

Prince Chen suddenly changed his tone and gazed at Du Wei with a very serious tone. "Dewey... Can you promise me one thing? In the future... You should help me teach my children well, OK? "

Du Wei was stunned: "Your Highness, you mean..."

Prince Chen's eyes flashed a trace of complexity, and then covered up with a relaxed smile: "my son Charlie is eight years old, and has begun to ask the palace teacher to teach him. But, Dewey, after all, you are also a scholar of the court, and I know that you are knowledgeable and talented, plus you are young. It's only seven or eight years away from him. If you are willing to teach this child, it is better than those old scholars with white beard. After all, children always have some resistance to those old guys. "

Dewey was thinking about what his highness meant. Prince Chen has continued: "my son, smart is smart. I also have great expectations for him... Well, I want to ask you to be his teacher in the future. "

There are several meanings in this sentence.

Great expectations... Does Prince Chen want to make this little Charlie the heir to the throne?

Let oneself be the teacher of the prince, can be a generation of emperor teacher in the future. This position is very high.

Dewey laughed: "if your highness is at ease with me. Of course, I dare not refuse... But I'm always in the northwest, and I'm afraid I may not have time to teach my royal highness in the imperial capital... "

Prince Chen shook his head and looked at Du Wei with a smile: "Hey, my tulip Lord... Have you decided to live in the northwest all your life? In that cold and bitter place in the northwest, any other Lord would have chosen a governor to manage it, and he would have enjoyed his fortune on the pretext of returning to the emperor. It's you. It's like having a good time in the northwest. I haven't come back for two years. "

Du Wei looked at Prince Chen and said with a faint smile: "Your Highness, you're joking... The situation in Northwest now, even if I want to come back, will you allow me? Of course, some people would like me to come back. "

They look at each other and smile. It's all silence.

Then Prince Chen and Du Wei scattered side by side in the garden. Prince Chen was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "in the future, the situation will be stable. You always have to come back. Dewey, I have high expectations for you. In my heart, you are far more than just a person in charge of a province. "

High expectations? Dewey grinned bitterly. I wish you could lower your expectations of me! In the northwest, when the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, Lao Tzu is the biggest. What is that? On the contrary, he went back to the imperial capital and suffered a big loss one day.

Looking at Du Wei's face, Prince Chen guessed what he was thinking. He stopped and said in a low voice: "well, you don't have to say it. I know what you want to say. I didn't tell you what happened today, so I sent someone to do it. You are not satisfied with me now

Even if Dewey is dissatisfied, how can he say it? He turned the corner of his mouth and said, "I dare not. You are the Regent. As a minister, I should share my worries for your highness. "

Prince Chen laughed, then looked at Du Wei and said, "well, I won't let you pay for the 16 million gold coins. You can rest assured. So don't be so bitter now. I told you to do everything. I'll pay for the money. "

oh Is it public consumption? Du Wei looks a little better, but he is still on guard. With his understanding of his royal highness Chen, the other side takes the initiative to give him benefits, which is not a good sign!

Sure enough, two people walked a few steps again, Chen prince but shifted the topic to the northwest situation up.

"In the last friction with the prairie people, I heard that you defeated the prairie people's cavalry in the city of giliat. The golden wolf with 20000 elite and a great shaman wizard were all defeated by you. You can still achieve such a great victory with less battles and more. It really surprised me... Dewey, I found another advantage of you. You people from the Rowling family are all talented in military affairs. Although I have read the war report, after all, the contents on the paper are not detailed enough. Tell me about the process of the battle in giliat city

When it comes to the "Rowling family", Dewey is embarrassed. After all, he has changed his name to tulip family.

Fortunately, he knew that Prince Chen didn't satirize himself with this. After pondering for a while, he told the prairie people how to sneak into the ground and how to fight in giliat city one by one.

When the northwest army colluded with the grassland people, they first surrounded Loran, the capital of Desa province. The grassland people took the opportunity to sneak in, how they forced the northwest army to retreat for ten li, and how they disguised themselves. The soldiers led their troops out of the city in several ways. On the way, they defeated a small group of grassland cavalry. When they learned that giliat city was surrounded, how did they fight under the city

After all of this, Dewey's eloquence is good. It's wonderful. Prince Chen listened attentively and did not interrupt.

After that, Dewey added, "Your Highness, this victory. There's a lot of luck in it. If I had not defeated a small group of grassland cavalry on my way and got the news, I'm afraid it would have been too late to rescue giliat City, then the city would have been broken. And... Governor Bohan of nurin province sent reinforcements in time. In that war, the reinforcements sent by governor Bohan were also loyal to the Empire and sacrificed blood... "

"I know that." Prince Chen waved his hand and interrupted Du Wei. Suddenly he asked, "but I've always been a little confused... Grassland people are OK. Why dive in? Why is their goal giliat city? " Du Wei was stunned. He knew that the grassland people came to find the Warcraft on the order of the wizard king of the big snow mountain. But this matter, he didn't plan to tell Prince Chen truthfully, thought about it, casually found an excuse to fool the past: "I don't know, it must have something to do with collusion with the northwest army. I want to attack us while the northwest army is besieging Loulan city. Plunder. "“ It's just looting. They won't send their main general Jin Langtou and 20000 elite cavalry. " Prince Chen shook his head and thought for a while. "There's something fishy about it. We have to check it out," he said Dewey didn't take the words, and stood by quietly. After a moment's silence, Prince Chen suddenly smiles and looks at Du Wei: "also, I heard that you used some powerful new weapons when you broke the prairie cavalry under the city of giliat. Well... It's a kind of can that can explode, right? It's said that the explosion is very powerful. And ordinary people can use such weapons, which is also an important reason for the defeat of grassland people, right? " Say, Chen Prince is squinting eyes, smiling at Du Wei. Dewey's heart sank, and the secret was not good. However, when giliat went down to battle, tens of thousands of people on both sides of the enemy and US could not hide the gunpowder jar. They had to smile bitterly and say, "yes... It's really a new thing, but it's not as powerful as the legend, but it was suddenly used for such a time. The fire and the movement were a little frightening, It just scares the grassland people's horses. "“ I'm afraid... It's not that simple. " Chen Prince light of smile smile, smile not smile of saw Du Wei one eye. Du Wei's heart moved, and he heard Prince Chen continue to say: "I heard that the kind of things you made, let the crowd throw, the power of explosion, can kill the enemy around. Grassland people suffered a great loss that day! And... And you've got a team of magicians riding broomsticks to throw this weapon down from the sky. The effect is surprisingly good, right? " Du Wei more listen to more is secretly frown, faintly understand the meaning of Chen prince, his heart is some dissatisfaction, simply shut the mouth don't speak“ "Ah..." Prince Chen suddenly sighed, then looked at Du Wei's eyes, his voice was sincere, and said: "Du Wei, I know, I'm just like you asking for this new weapon. It's too much to say. But you are a smart man, you should understand the current situation... Northwest situation, is a hair trigger. Within three or five years, there will be a big war! At that time, facing the northwest army and grassland people, you are not the tulip family that can stand it! I've been secretly rearranging armaments since last year. If you can equip the imperial army with this new weapon, it will certainly have the greatest effect in the future war! Moreover, with such sharp weapons, the soldiers of our empire can reduce a lot of casualties. " How does Dewey not know all this? He is not unwilling to give the powder to Prince Chen to equip the army. After all, in the northwest, he has given a batch of powder to governor Bohan. Since he can give it to Bohan, it's not that he can't give it to Prince Chen... But he is really angry!
