Du Wei thought about it all night, his head hurt from thinking about it, but he still couldn't think everything through.
Well...that damn guy Aragorn obviously had the same experience as me. He was a comrade who also "travelled" to this world.
But, why does that guy seem to know everything about him so well? He especially left such a prank on the soles of the feet of the Nanyang native?
Who is he? What is his purpose?
Also, according to the legend of Nanyang, the natives are clearly the "tribe of the gods" and are the descendants of the "Father God" that the natives of Nanyang believe in.
Damn it, why is Aragorn related to the myths and legends of the Nanyang people again?
Everything is a problem.
And the answer to the question... Du Wei has no way of knowing it yet.
Because Master QQ has sworn that he doesn't know anything.
"Please understand that I am just a poor pet. Master Aragon only taught me these words and languages. I don't know anything else." But when he said this, qq blinked his eyes pitifully.
Looking at Du Wei: "So, please don't make barbecue penguins. I swear, my meat is not delicious at all."
Of course, Du Wei would not really grill this mythical beast. But he still suspected that this mythical beast was hiding something. As for how to make this penguin reveal something... Du Wei would be slow to answer this question.
Think slowly.
Aragorn is actually a time traveler like himself... Huh, this world is getting more and more interesting.
It's hard to describe Du Wei's current mood. After being depressed again, Du Wei's current mood is complicated. On the one hand, he is a little angry because he feels that he has been tricked by the same time traveler. Now he knows that Aragorn is the same as him.
After traveling through time, in Du Wei's eyes, the aura that originally shrouded Aragorn, such as the founding emperor, the most powerful man under the stars... all of these haloes faded away. A time traveler created some
Miracle, isn’t it normal?
On the other hand, Du Wei also felt a kind of faint happiness in his heart that even he couldn't explain clearly.
Yes, that's right. It's joy.
A time traveler like myself. A compatriot from the same world, the same nation, and speaking the same language as myself? It was as if after living alone in this world for more than ten years, I suddenly discovered that there was another me.
of the same kind.
but……
Humph, you just came a thousand years before me. Can you ride on my neck, young master?
Don’t even think about it!
Du Wei made a malicious decision.
Isn’t he just a time traveler?
If you really are some kind of god or some kind of legendary figure, maybe I’m really afraid of you, young master. Now that I know your true identity, what should I be afraid of you for?
At this moment, Du Wei suddenly felt relaxed.
At dawn, very early in the morning, Mader brought breakfast. The loyal old servant knew that the young master seemed to be very angry last night. At this time, other servants would not dare to provoke the Duke.
.Only Old Mad, the old servant who had carried Du Wei since childhood, faithfully brought breakfast, and only in front of him. Du Wei would calm down his anger.
However, Old Mad looked at the young master enjoying breakfast happily, and even ate two more mints after the meal than usual. Looking at the smile on the young master's face, it was obvious that he was in a good mood. Old Mad was relieved.
, hesitated for a moment and said: "Young Master...it seems like..."
"Oh? Did something happen?" Du Wei smiled.
"Yes...well, it's not an accident." Old Mad explained: "In the morning, at the intersection in front of us, there was a guy with his leg broken, and he was carried over. From the morning to now,
He has been left there, and there are people guarding him. The poor guy has been screaming, which has attracted many people to watch..."
"Ignore it." Du Wei chewed the mint candy, cracked it loudly, and curled his lips: "A guy who always likes to bully others deserves to suffer a little."
After a pause, Du Wei pondered: "However, Count Villa is a smart man. Hehe..."
Then Du Wei asked casually: "What day is it today? I mean how many days has it been since I wrote the letter?"
"The fifth day." Mad replied: "I think it should be soon."
Du Wei wrote a letter to the Luolin Plain five days ago, before Count Raymond and the others set out from the imperial capital. The letter was written to Hussein and the others. Now that Count Raymond has returned to the Luolin Castle, Hussein and the others
Naturally, he could no longer stay in the castle. So Du Wei asked Hussein and Nicole (Medusa) to join them in the imperial capital after receiving the letter.
In the morning, many onlookers had gathered at the intersection of the Temporary Duke's Palace, which even caused a traffic jam at one point. Fortunately, people from the Public Security Department came and dispersed some of the onlookers.
The poor steward Guro of the Earl of Villa was sitting on a wooden board. Both of his legs were broken and swollen like pig's trotters. He half lay there and howled all morning. In the end, he was almost in pain.
He couldn't even hum anymore, so the two guards from Count Villa's family kept feeding him some water from time to time to prevent this guy from fainting.
It took a full morning before this "show" finally ended. Poor Guro was carried down, and then a servant from Count Villa's house sent a personal letter from Count Villa.
It was given to Duke Duwe.
Duwei got the letter from Mader, glanced at it, and then smiled: "This Earl is very good at doing things." Then he returned the letter to Mader with a smile: "Go out and tell Count Villa.
He is from home. Just say that I am very grateful for his kindness."
After that, Du Wei originally planned to go to the shop. Yesterday, in addition to the Nanyang native slaves, Ruolin also bought back several convicted members of the Marquis Solomon family from the official shop, including one who made a loud noise in the slave market.
The one who yelled at Duwei.
Du Wei plans to hand over all of these people to Ruolin. Those who are from the Solomon family are all veterans in business. They can greatly make up for Ruolin's current shortage of manpower.
However, before Du Wei could go out, someone was already looking for him.
The leader of the Imperial Supervisory Office was guarded in a large prison. Roboski came to see Du Wei and told Du Wei something.
"General Longbottom, I want to see you."
Longbottom? Is that the 250 General?
Du Wei smiled.
After all, I have given Roboski a large amount of gold coins these days, fed and fed the 250-year-old general every day, and kept looking for women for him. Even Roboski began to complain that he
The dignified Imperial Inspectorate officials almost turned into pimps.
Du Wei has successively thrown more than 40,000 gold coins into this 250-year-old general. Moreover, Du Wei has been keeping his composure and has not taken the initiative to meet the strange man.
He knew very well that such strange people often had weird tempers, especially the "two hundred and five" general. Although his current status was high enough and his reputation was big enough, such strange people may not necessarily buy his own account.
If you want to attract such talents, you can only do what they like. Often, even if you have mountains of gold and silver in front of you, they may not even blink an eye. But if you have the right temper, they can sell you their heads at any time without frowning.
of.
Today, it seems that the 250-year-old general has finally fallen in love with me.
Without any hesitation, Du Wei immediately had someone prepare a carriage and go to the Supervision Office.
In the large cell in the inner hall, Du Wei finally entered the cell of the famous General Longbottom.
Du Wei was a little surprised when he finally met this thorny figure who had caused headaches to many big bosses in the military headquarters back then.
Originally, in Du Weidi's imagination, such a rogue general who could make more than 20,000 subordinates work for him to the death and travel across the northwest should be the kind of rough-looking, wild and uninhibited figure. He should be a tall man with a big face.
A guy with a beard, a loud laugh, a big bowl of wine, a big piece of meat to eat, and a lot of foul language.
But after entering the cell, Du Wei saw a fat man with a handsome face.
This guy was sitting there, playing with a sand table. When Du Wei came in, he stood up, turned around, and smiled at Du Wei.
This 250-year-old general is very tall. When he stands up, his head is almost touching the ceiling. Although after many years of prison life, this guy is fat, but he looks very strong. More importantly, his
There was a delicate look on his face that was completely incompatible with his ridiculous experiences.
It can be said that if he can lose another third of his weight, then he can be regarded as a delicate and handsome man.
"What? Are you surprised?" Longbottom's voice was slightly hoarse, and there was a smile in his eyes: "You must be thinking now, 'It turns out that the legendary 250th General is just such a fat white man,' right?"
Du Wei was a little embarrassed, because this was exactly the thought that flashed through his mind just now.
Longbottom sighed and pointed to the bed, the only place in the room where he could sit: "Sit down." Then he said with regret in his tone: "Unfortunately, if you could see me, you would not think so. But anyone
After being locked up in such a small room the size of a palm for so many years, eating and sleeping every day, even the thinnest person will become fat." He casually patted his fat thighs with a twinkle in his eye.
After a moment of helplessness, he said: "I'm afraid I can't even ride a horse with my current body shape."
Du Wei said nothing, just looked at this strange man quietly.
"By the way." Longbottom glanced at Duwei: "You haven't spoken since you entered this room. Now I know your name and your origin... Oh, the youngest Duke in the empire,
It turns out that the young master of the Luo Lin family is now Duke Rudolf. He is also an outstanding magician... You really amaze me."
Then he stretched out his hand to Du Wei: "Did you bring it?"
"What?" Du Wei was a little confused.
The sly fat man was smiling: "Your Majesty, Duke, you have been feeding me well every day recently. You are sending me women every now and then. Isn't this just to attract a useless person like me? Since you are recruiting me, then you must be
Are you still planning to let me stay in this hellish place? What I’m talking about is... have you brought my release order?"
Du Wei smiled.
This 250-year-old general is quite straightforward.
He took out a blank document from his arms without hesitation. It was a release order. Du Wei got it without much effort. It was signed by the highest minister of the Imperial Supervisory Office, and the order for releasing the prisoner was
The space for the name is blank. As long as Longbottom's name is written, the document will take effect immediately.
It didn't take Du Wei too much effort to rescue this 250-year-old general. After all, it has been many years since the crime this guy committed. And the nobles he offended... coincidentally, fell in the coup. Those in the military also
No one paid any attention to General 250, who had caused them a lot of trouble back then.
It can be said that this is a guy who has been forgotten by everyone. Moreover, considering Du Wei's current identity, he wants such an unimportant guy who has been imprisoned for many years. Those big bosses in the Supervision Bureau are also willing to sell him
This Duke has a face.
Anyway, keeping this guy here is a waste of food.
After writing Longbottom's name on the document, Duwei handed him the release order. Longbottom read it twice carefully. Although he hid it well, Duwei still saw it in his eyes.
Feeling a little excited, the fat white man carefully placed the release order in the pocket of his jacket near his heart, patted it twice, and then looked at Du Wei: "So, when will I leave with you?"
"You can do it at any time. I can take you out now." Du Wei smiled.
Longbottom knocked on his forehead and suddenly asked: "Your Majesty, Duke, what kind of job are you going to give me after you take me out?" He said with a straight face: "You may have heard about it.
, I am greedy and lustful. I also do ridiculous things."
"I know everything you said." Du Wei suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Longbottom. His expression was very serious, his tone was even more solemn, there was no smile on his face, and his eyes were
It seems even more sincere:
"General Longbottom! This bow shows my respect for you." Du Wei said solemnly: "I have read all the information about you, as well as what you did in the northwest! I think you are a great person.
A general who is extremely loyal to the empire! Everything you did in the northwest was painstakingly done. Everything was for the sake of the situation in the northwest! It's a pity that the idiots in the military couldn't understand what you did... And
Those guys who secretly sell contraband to the people of the northwest are nothing but worms in the empire! I am glad that the empire has generals like you!"
Longbottom looked at Duwei seriously. There was a trace of emotion in his eyes, and then he suddenly smiled again and waved his hand: "Okay! There is no need to do these tricks. I believe these are your sincere words. But there are some
It's fine if you understand it in your heart, but it's a bit false when you say it... I still have the same question, Lord Duke Duwei, what kind of job will you give me?"
"My back cover is in the northwest province of Desa." Du Wei smiled bitterly: "You already know this, right?"
"I heard." Longbottom nodded.
"I think no one knows the environment and situation of that place better than you." Du Wei said: "I will go to my territory within three months, and I am determined to take root there, and... I will never let myself be used by others.
Kicked out! Under such circumstances, I need your help very much. So... I think that in my future Duke's Palace, I will be the cavalry commander of the family's private army. This position should not be considered an incompetence for you.
?”
Longbottom was very satisfied, he had finally confirmed the young Duke's sincerity towards him.
"In this case, I think I can give you a small gift. Just think of it as a token of my gratitude to my new boss." Longbottom smiled: "I'm afraid most of my subordinates in the northwest back then are now
I have finished my military service and returned home, but those people were all trained by me, and everyone is an outstanding soldier. I can write to some of my old subordinates. I think, although there will not be many, but rely on
Based on the sentiments of the past, there is no problem in summoning one or two thousand people."
One or two thousand elite cavalry, and they are also proven veterans?
Of course Du Wei would not refuse this great gift!
After completing all the formalities, the 250-year-old general was already a free man. However, when going through the formalities for release from prison, he needed to hand over his original officer badge symbolizing his military status (after he was imprisoned,
Because there has been no trial, he has not been deprived of his military position. Although his position as a general is gone, in terms of status, he is still a soldier of the empire).
When paying for his officer's badge, the 250-year-old general threw the badge on the ground in front of the officials of the Supervision Office, then stepped heavily on his feet, spat hard, and cursed fiercely: "Fuck him"
Damn the military! Damn the high command! There will always be a time when you regret it in the future! Even if the military minister kneels down to beg me, don’t expect me to come back!"
Such unscrupulous behavior shocked the officials of the Supervision Office.
Du Wei gave a bitter smile and pulled this unscrupulous guy away.
With this treasure and the old team he brought in, the basic structure of the future private army of the Duke's Palace can be set up.
