Dewey is really waiting for a signal from the capital, from the Regent.
Unfortunately, he got there. Fortunately. However, with the arrival of this signal, there is also a big "trouble".
Winter is not over, ice and snow have not begun to melt, the road is still very difficult.
Just this morning, the two carriages of Loulan city attracted the attention of the patrolling cavalry outside the city.
The two carriages bear the symbol of the temple of light, with Four Holy Knights at the front and back. When the patrolling cavalry approached, they were told that there was a noble guest from the imperial temple in the carriage. Because they showed the legal procedures, the patrolling cavalry could only escort them all the way into Loulan city.
Loulan city's new religious center has been initially completed. It is a cathedral close to the Duke's palace, with 100 Holy Knights guarding around. When the two carriages entered the city, it was the busiest time for the caravans to enter and leave the city gate in the morning, which attracted many people's attention. Everyone is guessing, in such a luxurious carriage, which one of the most important figures in the temple will come.
Instead of going to the church in Loulan, the carriage drove directly to the door of the Duke's mansion.
To the surprise of the Holy Knights accompanying the guards, their party just stopped at the Duke's palace, and this sudden visit did not cause the other party's surprise.
Waiting for them is the open gate outside the castle. A group of tulip family cavalry guards come out to meet them. Standing at the gate of the castle is an old guy who is typically served by a noble housekeeper. This old guy even wears a beautiful bow tie. With a respectful and modest smile on his face.
Then he opened the door of the carriage for the distinguished guests in person with a posture that even the court ceremonial master could not find fault with. Then he made a gesture to ask them to get out of the carriage, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, the Duke ordered me to wait here to meet you. I'm sorry, because you've come so suddenly. The Duke is in a hurry this morning. The generals of the family have a meeting. So I can't meet you in person. "
A slender woman's hand stretched out from the carriage. Then, her royal highness, the noble saint in the mainland temple, slowly stepped out of the carriage. Although she had a reserved smile on her face, there was still a slight surprise in her eyes. Then she calmed down quickly and put her hand on the old housekeeper's hand in front of her. Let the other party help him out of the carriage.
There was a cold wind, and though she was surrounded by a thick white fur collar, she could not help shrinking her neck, and then said with a low smile, "thank you. Oh, the weather in the northwest. Is it always this cold? "
"Just get used to it." The old housekeeper said with a measured smile: "Your Highness, I have arranged a warm rest room. What else do you need?"
"Please take care of my loyal knights. They have been working hard all the way." The saint said faintly.
"As you wish. Please rest assured that these Knights will be treated as distinguished guests. " The old housekeeper said with a smile, "my name is madder. Your highness, you can tell me anything you need."
All the way, the virgin looked carefully at the surroundings, at the majestic Duke's castle, and then said politely, "this is a magical place, Mr. Butler. I heard that the completion of this place took only three months. Is that true? Oh, the Almighty goddess is up there. It's a miracle. "
The old housekeeper replied politely, and then the virgin asked, "I'm not in a hurry to go to the lounge. I'm very curious about this place. Can I walk around and have a look?"
"Of course." The old housekeeper laughed. But then he added, "but. Some parts of the castle are forbidden areas designated by the Duke. No one is allowed to go in and out without his own orders... Oh. Your highness, as you know, our Duke is a magician. The habits of magicians are different from those of ordinary people. "
The virgin laughed a little less calmly, and then thought, "well, please take me to the rest room... I think I'll go around again after I get the permission of the host."
What's Dewey doing now?
Of course, he knew for a long time that his royal highness was coming.
As a matter of fact, he got the news before she had entered the border of the province of Desa.
At this time, the war is imminent. What does her royal highness, who can't get along with herself, come to the Northwest for? Does she want to play something?
What do you think in the temple? On the one hand, we should cooperate with each other, and on the other hand, we should throw such a trouble to the northwest to make trouble for ourselves?
And Prince Chen... He even agreed?
Hell... Isn't it Prince Chen who wants to take advantage of the war to get rid of his niece? Dewey is not without malicious conjecture.
Duvier was not in a meeting with any generals. In fact, most of Duwei's generals have gone to the border barracks of Desa and nurin provinces. The only one who can be called "generals" in Loulan city is the garrison of Loulan city.
After getting up early this morning, Dewey went to the laboratory first. His "flying dragon warship" has been basically completed, and Gandalf green robe taught him a little "trick". On this secret weapon, Dewey added a little toy specially for Yin man.
Then, in the morning, he had a morning tea with Mrs. Liszt and miss angel. After that, the boy muse, whom Duwei didn't like, came to harass him. Hell, this guy who made Duwei dislike, even said to himself that he wanted to go to the battlefield.
"Why do you say there's going to be a war?" Dewey pretended to be stupid in front of this guy: "it's a time of peace, there's no battlefield."
"Don't lie to me." Muse has a gloomy face. During his two years in the northwest, the boy grew taller, but by Dewey's standards, he was still too thin.
"It's like a girl." That's what Longbottom said about this kid.
"Don't lie to me." Muse faced Dewey: "most of your troops have been mobilized to the East, and now everyone is so busy that idiots can see that they are making the final mobilization before the war. Hum... I'm not a fool. Your highness
Dewey looked at the red tide on the boy's face and the sweat on the tip of his nose, and suddenly asked an irrelevant question: "what did you do in the morning? To exercise? "
He even took two steps closer, took out a silk handkerchief from his arms, and wiped the sweat on the Muse's nose with his own hands. This action startled the muse and quickly stepped back two steps.
"Oh, I forgot. You're a cleanliness freak." Dewey smiles and puts away the handkerchief.
"I... I went to Practice Fencing this morning." The Muse tried to lift his chest. "My teacher told me that my swordsmanship has reached the level of level 3! And said that soon, I can cultivate fighting spirit! I... I've grown up! son of a gun! Don't look at me like that, I'm not a child! "
"Only children will desperately emphasize that they are not children." Dewey shrugged his shoulders.
"If you don't let me go, I'll run myself!" The Muse is still very determined.
"You'd better not do that, because in that case, I'll break your legs without hesitation, both of them together." Dewey's tone was flat, as if he was saying something irrelevant.
Then. He took a look at the Muse, then suddenly asked an irrelevant question: "the war... You listen to your sister."
The Muse was silent for a while before nodding.
"Your sister is very clever." Dewey laughed. "What else did she say besides that?"
"She said..." Muse coughed: "she gave me a list of some middle and low-level generals in the northwest army. They're all the people we could win over. But I won't give you this list unless you promise to take me to the battlefield. "
Dewey thought for a moment. Is Mrs. Liszt helping me? Well, I'm still a very attentive woman. But what does she want to do with the Muse?
"Wait. Boy Dewey nodded. "Well, I can take you, but you have to come with me, and... If you don't listen, I'll break your leg."
After a pause, Dewey looked at this guy maliciously, and suddenly he laughed maliciously: "by the way, you should be careful when you come to practice sword in the future. I know you're growing up now... It's not good for your body to be stressed all the time. "
With that, Dewey's eyes fell on Muse's chest intentionally or unintentionally, which made Muse pale. Fortunately, Dewey quickly turned his eyes away and waved the boy out.
He... He knows?
The Muse's heart beat one hundred and eighty and ran away from Dewey's study in fear.
"Well. Mrs. Liszt... Well intentioned. " Dewey took a look at the list left by the Muse, then sighed, "but. Doesn't she know a famous saying? Warfare. Let the woman go
Dewey looked at the time. The sun was almost overhead.
Yeah. Your highness must be in a hurry.
He just dawdled to change clothes, and then came to the saint's lounge door.
As soon as he got to the door, Dewey heard women's laughter. He opened the door and saw Mrs. Liszt and her royal highness sitting together. Two beautiful women were talking and laughing, as if they were very familiar.
Dewey came in, stretched himself exaggeratedly, and then said with a smile, "I'm sorry, your highness. Your sudden arrival surprised me. It's really impolite of me to let you wait so long."
Seeing Dewey come in, the virgin stood up, nodded to him, and then said, "Your Highness, if you want to give me any excuse for 'meeting with the generals', forget it. I think now everyone knows where your brave generals are. "
Mrs. Liszt also saluted Dewey. Dewey laughed, squinted and looked at the shrewd widow: "madam, I just met your brother, but he made a very difficult request for me. Has your permission been obtained? "
"Yes, my Lord. If you are not in trouble, please promise him Mrs. Liszt sighed: "I think there is nothing more effective than cruel war for a man to accelerate his maturity. and. I won't worry about his safety when I'm by your side. "
"War really makes people mature faster." Dewey looked at Mrs. Liszt and said, "especially men." There was no change in Mrs. Liszt's expression: "thank you for your understanding." "Did you know each other before?" Dewey pointed to them“ Of course. " "Many years," Mrs. Liszt said with a smile Then the woman took a look at Dewey and said with a smile, "I think the Duke must have a lot to discuss with his highness, so I'll leave first." Before she left, when she passed by Dewey, Dewey said something in her ear, which changed Mrs. Liszt's expression“ Later... Find a new swordsmanship teacher for muse Dewey's tone of indifference. He said softly, "he has grown up. There will be a lot of physical contact in fencing." But Mrs. Liszt's expression changed for only one second, and then she regained her composure: "I'll think about it. Thank you for your advice." Then she left, and the door closed. Dewey sighed. He walked up to the saint and sat down in a chair. Lazy way: "well, say, this time you come here, why?"“ Is that how you treat a lady? Please pay attention to your manners. " Said the saint, tepid“ Come on Dewey pointed to each other's nose: "you are not my friend. We know that very well. There are no outsiders here now. I'm too lazy to make those gestures. And... To tell you the truth, I didn't use a broom to drive you out of the northwest. It's already very rare. " The saint just laughed. She was very charming. He even took off the veil on his face and sat down in front of Duwei. Looking at Duwei, his voice was sweet and greasy: "if I said I was here to make trouble for you, would you really do that?" Dewey thought twice: "maybe... It depends on how much trouble you are looking for. If it's a big trouble, I don't mind making an accident and letting you die in the northwest. I think. The honorable Regent will not object. Of course, at your funeral, we all shed a few tears. " The saint laughed, her laughter is very presumptuous, and even some unscrupulous, she used a intimate action, leaning to Dewey's side, Dewey smelled the fragrance of her body. But as if poisoned the same side dodged: "don't do this to me. Your highness... I'm not the stupid boy of marquis Seine's family who was ruined by you. "“ What if I came to help you? " The saint went back to her seat“ "Oh?" Dewey laughed, and then said, "do you want to help me? So my first reaction is to cover my wallet first. Then look around and see if you're trapped. My dear highness, I'm a joker... But I'm not used to joking with the enemy. "“ You lack a sense of humor The virgin sighed: "to be frank, I can give you a great advantage. But I also have my conditions Du Wei cocked his legs and looked at the woman askance: "tell me... But first of all, I have a big appetite. It's hard for me to be moved by the general benefits." The saint "hum" a, long way: "you know, the northwest army lugao's men, there is a guy named guhuadoro." Dewey did not smile, he sat up straight: "of course, guhuadoro, he had surrounded my capital with troops, and he was one of the most trusted generals of lugao."“ You see The saint laughed. She laughed like a flower: "you have been moved by me, haven't you?" Dewey looked at the woman's smile, he narrowed his eyes... The prelude to the war began with an official document from the imperial capital“ The order of his Majesty the emperor of Roland, the order of the commander of the Empire, hereby orders Lu Gao, the commander of the northwest army of the Empire, the general of the northwest army, and the commander of the Empire army to decide that because of the rampant Warcraft in the north, the storm army has entered into a large-scale reorganization, the northwest army and the storm army have exchanged defense zones, and the storm army has taken over the northwest war zone, so that the northwest army will be ready to start all kinds of matters within one month after receiving this order, According to the march route prescribed by the military headquarters, he went to the northern theater of the Empire, and the northwest Legion took over the northern theater. There was no change in the personnel arrangement of the northwest army. Lu Gao, the commander of the northwest army, was knighted as Marquis, and the commander of the Northern War Zone was given double pay. The change of defense must be completed within one month, otherwise the military will be engaged in it. The commander in chief of the Imperial Army, acting Minister of military affairs, Robert Scheer (signature), Regent of the Empire. " This document was sent as like as two peas to the northwest fort, and the same replica was placed on Du's desk. There was no doubt that even idiots knew that there was going to be a war after the contents of this document were publicized.
