Two hundred and sixtieth seven chapters [frame again]
Chapter 267 [Place the blame again]
At night, Hamuye sat in the tent and pondered over the day's negotiations, and became increasingly unsure about the Tulip Duke. Originally, he was deeply afraid of this guy, but now it seems that he is not too difficult to deal with.
Things like war horses, cattle and sheep are most abundant on the grassland. It costs some money, and I have been mentally prepared before this mission. He is the uncle of the King of the Grassland, and he is also a member of the inner circle of the royal court.
Characters. Naturally understand the royal court's strategy towards the Roland Empire. In the long run, the grassland will sooner or later fight this huge empire. The war more than 20 years ago caused the people of the grassland to shed too much blood. Such hatred
It cannot be erased over time.
Although this huge empire seems powerful, what makes the grassland people happy is that this behemoth looks powerful. In fact, after careful study, it is not difficult to see that it is strong on the outside and capable on the inside. Although the Roland Empire claims to have two million soldiers, how many people in the empire
There are one million main battle legions, one million local garrison troops in various places, and an extremely powerful naval fleet. At the same time, the noble lords within the empire also have private armies.
But for more than ten years, Hammuye, who has devoted himself to studying the Roland people, has a very thorough understanding of the Roland people's weaknesses. The emperor of the empire is becoming increasingly sluggish, and Augustine VI, who is so happy with success, has lost the last vestige of the empire's vitality through his random tossing.
, were wasted on the Nanyang. And the huge army also brought huge military expenditures. The ridiculous Nanyang expedition not only failed to bring benefits to the empire, but instead became a huge black hole that swallowed up the empire’s finances. Idiot
The emperor, the greedy aristocratic group, and the corrupt bureaucracy have made this behemoth. It is like a big dry tree...To tear it down, you only need patience!
The Northwest Army Corps and the center of the empire seem to be incompatible with each other, as well as the noble lords in various places who seem to be stable but are secretly trying to make trouble. In fact, they have become existences similar to the earth emperors. Such a large empire may seem powerful, but in fact there are many internal troubles.
As for that huge and awe-inspiring naval fleet... Well, no matter how powerful the navy is, can it reach land! Can it reach the grassland? What a joke!
Although today's peace talks cost a lot, if we can get temporary peace with the empire, it doesn't need to be too old. It can last for five years at most and three years at least. When the young men on the grassland grow up, they can become those wolves.
When the cubs can show their teeth and show their claws, it's time to knock down this big tree!
Compared with this purpose, what does it mean to temporarily send some horses, cattle and sheep?
This Tulip Duke... hmm, it seems to be nothing more than that. I thought he was very smart, but he turned out to be a greedy man, so he bought him with 10,000 cowhide and thousands of slaves.
However, Hanmuye still insisted on asking for peace from the grassland people. Although he understood that the empire needed this "face", after all, if a large empire took the initiative to ask for peace from the small grassland people,
, that would be too embarrassing. However, Hamuye still wanted to stick to this condition and test the bottom line of the Roland people.
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard a faint shout from his guard outside: "Who is this!!"
Then I heard another groan!
Although Hamuye was not good at martial arts, he was used to killing local people on the grassland. Upon hearing this, he judged that someone was sneaking up on him at night. The short muffled sound made by his bodyguard was probably caused by someone.
Knocked down.
When he was startled, the first thought that flashed through his mind was: Could this Tulip Duke want to kill me? Is the Roland people going to turn against each other?
This thought just passed by in a flash. The curtain of the tent had been opened, and two shadows were standing outside the tent. When Hammuye took a look, his face changed.
Under the moonlight, two figures, one tall and one short, were standing outside the tent, not far apart. It was vaguely visible that they seemed to be a man and a woman, and the way they were dressed was what made Hamuye change his color!
The two guards who were originally guarding the outside of the tent had fallen to the ground. They heard noises around them, and the prairie warriors who were keeping vigil had already gathered around them. However, these warriors were all looking at the two people with their mouths open, and some had scimitars.
It had been pulled out halfway, but he put it back honestly, standing around quietly, neither moving forward nor retreating.
Just because of these two visitors, the woman among them whispered in the language of the grassland: "People coming from the Snowy Mountains are silent!"
For those who live on the grassland, the Snowy Mountains hold such a lofty position in their hearts. The wizards on the Snowy Mountains walk on the grassland and bring countless benefits, and everyone has already known about their attire.
There is a man and a woman in front of me. This woman is just a woman. She is wearing a gray robe. She is obviously dressed like a wizard from the Snowy Mountains. There are few people wearing robes on the grassland. The herdsmen on the grassland wear narrow robes for the convenience of daily work.
It has narrow sleeves. This loose robe is very eye-catching.
Especially this witch, there are clearly several signs rusted on her robe. At first glance, it is clearly the sign of the Snowy Mountains!
There are also women among the wizards on the snowy mountains, but there are not many women among the wizards who come down from the mountains.
What surprised these people even more was that the man standing half a step behind the witch, who was also dressed as a witch, turned out to be...
White robe!
The white-robed wizard is a noble person on the snowy mountains. Everyone on the grassland knows the status of the white-robed wizard! Seeing such a white-robed wizard suddenly coming here quietly late at night, who dares to make a noise? There are already people who dare not even make a fuss.
, stood with his hands down in the most honest manner, not even daring to look at the two wizards. The one who just drew the sword regretted his rude behavior just now, and just hoped not to anger these two nobles.
Lord Wizard.
"Everyone is silent."
The sorcerer's whispered words shocked everyone. Hamuye's face also changed. After being surprised, he quickly looked around, then bowed respectfully and saluted, and whispered: "It turns out it's a snow mountain.
The distinguished guest above has arrived! Your distinguished wizard, may I ask..."
"If you talk in the tent, don't let anyone know."
Although Ellu's voice was a little childish, Hanmuye couldn't help but wonder why the wizard sounded so young. Moreover, Ellu had a veil on her face, so her appearance could not be seen clearly. However, this is also the custom on the grassland.
The wind is strong on the grassland, and it is normal to cover your face with a gauze scarf.
And the white-robed wizard at the back was definitely an important person that he didn't dare to neglect! The white-robed wizard, even when he arrived at the royal court, he had to be polite when the Prairie King saw him!
Du Wei's face was also covered with a mask. Only one pair of eyes was exposed. He was afraid that Hamuye would see the flaw, so he deliberately used some tricks to change the contours of his face and eyes with dough and dye.
, after wearing a mask like this, you can't even see it. Especially at night, the other party doesn't dare to look at you carefully and rudely, and wants to get past you. It shouldn't be difficult.
Hamuye was shocked. A wizard arrived mysteriously in the middle of the night. He thought it must be some kind of decree coming from the Snowy Mountains. He did not dare to neglect, and quickly ordered other prairie warriors to carefully guard the surroundings. Then he quickly bowed and led him
The two entered the tent.
"No need to sit down." In the tent, just as Hammuye was about to serve tea with his own hands, Alley had already interrupted him: "Prince Hammuye, please accept the decree from the Witch King."
As expected, Hamuye's expression changed. His expression was solemn, and he knelt on the ground with one knee in the most noble etiquette on the grassland.
"The Witch King said: things won't last long, and Duke Tulip's conditions will be satisfied as much as possible if you can agree to them. You must not offend him! Do you understand?"
Well?
After hearing what Ellu said, Hamuye couldn't help but froze for a moment. Several thoughts flashed through his mind. The Witch King rarely issued decrees, but this time it was such an inexplicable decree.
It was puzzling. He also had some doubts in his heart, but after all, the status of Daxue Mountain was too high, so he did not doubt that these two wizards were fake for a while.
"Master Wizard...the meaning of the Witch King's decree..." Hamuye didn't dare to stand up and raised his head to test.
Ellu was silent for a moment, and then whispered: "That's what the Witch King said. For the rest, you can figure it out yourself."
Hamuye became more and more confused, and suddenly, a vague thought came into his mind. Although he did not dare to doubt it, he still tried to say: "Excuse me, the names of the two wizards..."
"My name is Elulina. You probably haven't heard of my name. But you should have heard of it during the planning period."
Hamuye's heart trembled! Chaohejian? Of course he knew that Chaohejian was a specially managed room on the snow-capped mountains, and its status was hidden as the head of the three rooms. If this witch could say this, it must be true.
Got it!
"The Witch King is my teacher. This time I was ordered to come down the mountain just to deal with the Roland people. Well...
Ellu paused for a moment and then said: "The teacher was worried that the magicians here in Roland would be difficult to deal with, and that I wouldn't be able to handle it alone, so I invited this white-robed mage to escort me all the way."
Disciple of the Witch King?
Hamuye felt cold sweat dripping from his forehead! Fortunately, he didn't say any disrespectful words just now. Otherwise, he would have offended the disciples of the Witch King. If the other party blamed him, even the Prairie King would be unable to protect him!
He didn't dare to look at the wizard. He just felt that it would be disrespectful to look up at the disciple of the Witch King. He turned around and glanced at Du Wei: "I don't know who this white-robed wizard is."
…”
Fortunately, Du Wei had already prepared and asked Ai Lu to memorize his lines. When Ai Lu heard the words, he immediately said: "The white-robed mage Wu Ya died in the battle in Gilliat City. The Witch King is very dissatisfied. Follow me."
This person is the junior brother of Mr. Wuya Wizard. He is also a veteran figure in the organization and has boundless power. I relied on him to help me with everything I came to the northwest this time."
"Yes, yes, yes! It turns out to be the senior senator from the joint venture!" Hammuye nodded repeatedly, but did not dare to ask Du Wei's name any more.
Du Wei, on the other hand, stood with his hands behind his back, looking away with an elevated face. He couldn't speak the language of the grasslands, so he could only pretend to be mute and look aloof and proud, but there was no flaw in him.
Then Hamuye pondered for a moment, and then said: "I don't know the Witch King's decree, and I must not offend Duke Tulip... Then..."
"Hmph!" Ai Lu said deliberately and angrily: "Hanmuye, do you dare to doubt my teacher's decree?"
"Don't you dare!" Hamuye lowered his head repeatedly, like a chicken pecking at rice. He just said with a bitter look on his face: "The conditions for the Roland people to open the land are very harsh..."
"Hanmuye." Ellu shouted in a deep voice: "You also know that my teacher lost an extremely important pet after the Witch King's decree came down! That pet is of great importance, and it has now been confirmed that it belongs to the Roland people.
In his hand, it is probably in the palm of this Tulip Duke! That pet is related to my teacher’s magic power, which is not trivial! If this Tulip Duke is angered, he will kill the pet in a rage... Hmph. My teacher’s
That pet is the only one in the world. If it disappears, are you responsible for finding another one for me?"
Hamuye was even more frightened!
Be good! The Witch King Bai Hechou has the power to communicate with the gods. What a status he has on the grassland! He is close to the existence of a god! It is related to the magic power of the god of the grassland. No wonder the Witch King was so angry that he issued a decree!
Naturally, Hammuye also knew that he had sent people to sneak into the Desa province just to find the lost pet for the Witch King. In this way, the envoy's statement was indeed true!
For that pet, the Witch King, who rarely issued decrees, could directly order the Prairie King to send troops, so although this order was strange now, it was nothing.
Thinking of this, he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes! I will obey the Witch King's decree! I will not offend the Tulip Duke. Uh... Is there anything else I can do for you? If the Witch King's pet is really
The Tulip Duke has been arrested. I happen to be in Loulan City now. I have brought many warriors and warriors with me, so I can inquire..."
"No need!" Ai Lu simply refused: "The teacher's meaning is very clear. I sent you to do this before, not only the loss of soldiers, but also the loss of a white-robed wizard in my snowy mountain! The teacher is extremely incompetent to you.
Disappointed. In this matter, you should do your part and don’t worry about anything else! Just settle the matter with the Tulip Duke and go back as soon as possible! I will be responsible for finding pets and no one else is allowed.
Intervene.”
"Yes, yes..."
Ailu's voice softened slightly: "Teacher said, you can't be tough or weak when dealing with Roland people. We tried to be strong before. Since it didn't work, we might as well say hello to the other party now! You have Zhang, you have
Relaxation is the kingly way."
This statement is vague and general, and may not be correct. But how can Hamuye dare to refute "what the teacher said"? This teacher is the supreme Witch King! He nodded quickly.
"Get up!"
Elu waved her hand: "We still have important things to do, so you don't need to send them away."
"Yes!" Hammuye deliberately tried to please him again: "Your Majesty, this is the Tulip Duke's Mansion after all, and there are many guards. Why not let my men cover the departure of you two..."
"Hmph, since we can come in, we can also go out. With the white-robed wizard here, those Tulip Duke's guards are nothing." Ellu waved her hand impatiently, and then walked out of the tent with Du Wei.
Outside the tent, a group of prairie warriors were guarding the surroundings with nervous expressions on their faces, but they carefully stayed at least seven or eight meters away from the tent. Everyone looked solemn and did not dare to listen to the sounds inside the tent.
Ai Lu turned around and glanced at Hammuye: "Teacher's decree, you are not allowed to mention it to anyone, otherwise, it will cause serious problems... You know it yourself!"
Hammuye trembled and quickly responded, and Alley added: "If you work hard and do things well, in addition to the reward from the royal court, the Witch King will also reward you with something if he is happy.
"
Hammuye was overjoyed!
In the Prairie King's Court, although he is also a member of the inner circle, because he is not good at martial arts, many people look down upon him, thinking that this guy is only sitting in his current position because of the blood of the royal family. Although the Prairie King treats him
Yes, he obeyed his words, but there were many people around him who didn't like him. If he could be appreciated by the Witch King, who would dare to laugh at him for not being brave enough in the future? Who would dare to contradict and ridicule him in the royal court?
Hearing this, Hamuye was about to salute again, but Ailu said lightly: "No need, we're going to leave now in case something changes."
Hamuye quickly touched his arms and took out a black cloth bag. He quickly untied it and held it in both hands: "Your Majesty, please stay... This thing is something I found at a high price in the Roland Empire.
, is a rare magic gem crystal. The magicians of the Roland people are naturally far inferior to the wizards on the grassland. However, the magic props made by the magicians of the Roland people are indeed quite extraordinary. I know that the wizards are busy
Qianxiu. Naturally, I don’t care about mundane things, but this crystal is the best for refining magic weapons. Please..."
When Elu heard this, she said angrily in a deep voice: "Hanmuye, you are so brave! Have you forgotten the iron law of the snow mountain! If the wizard who walks down the mountain receives a reward of one gold and one silver, what is waiting for me?
What a punishment! You deliberately bribed the wizard. What a punishment!"
Hamuye's heart trembled, thinking that the horse could be photographed on the horse's legs! He quickly said: "No, no! Please don't misunderstand me. I spent tens of thousands of gold to buy this crystal, and it was still tossed around.
Through many channels, I relied on many insiders in the Roland Empire to obtain it. Originally, I wanted to submit it to the great Witch King! I dare not bribe your envoy, so I can only ask your envoy to forward it to the Witch King on my behalf to express my disdain.
Muye's little loyalty to the great Witch-King."
Ai Lu was about to refuse, but Du Wei next to her gently pulled her. Ai Lu immediately understood, rolled up his sleeves, and accepted it, saying: "Okay, what do you think? I will tell the teacher."
"And..." Hamuye looked at the two warriors lying on the ground with some embarrassment: "These two people are my personal followers and have followed me for many years. Although they were rude to them just now, it was because of their responsibilities.
.I didn’t mean to offend...please..."
Ai Lu nodded. Du Wei next to him suddenly smiled softly with a hoarse voice. He raised his hand slightly and flicked it at the two unconscious prairie warriors on the ground. Two green mist floated over. Du Wei
Suddenly, he chanted in a low voice and quickly:
"Tsang Lozi..."
These characters were extremely short, but when Hammuye heard them, his expression relaxed.
He was the prince. On the grassland, he had witnessed the wizard casting spells with his own eyes. The witchcraft spell that Du Wei chanted quickly was indeed the genuine snow mountain witchcraft. At this point, the last doubt in his heart finally came to an end.
The smoke disappeared.
After hearing this, Ailu next to her suddenly had a look of extreme surprise in her eyes. Fortunately, she had a mask on her face. Outsiders could not see her expression. She restrained herself in time and did not turn around to look at Du Wei.
Only then did no flaws appear.
Du Wei's two balls of green mist bounced out, and the two warriors on the ground groaned and slowly woke up.
In fact, there is no witchcraft at all. It is simply a mist of medicinal powder created by Du Wei using magic potion. It just fascinated the two of them. What pops up now is just the antidote.
The two warriors jumped up as soon as they turned over. They didn't understand the situation at all. Seeing that there were outsiders around them, their first reaction was to draw their swords. Hamuye quickly shouted in a low voice: "Asshole, stop!"
The two warriors were stunned for a moment. Seeing the attires of Du Wei and Ai Lu, they instantly looked horrified.
"My two subordinates are stupid...please..."
After listening to Hamuye's words, Du Wei suddenly had a thought in his mind!
Tonight, he pretended to be a snow mountain warrior to deceive this Hamuye. Although he succeeded for a while, there will always be a time when his secret will be exposed after he returns. By then, if it is investigated, the people in the snow mountain will know that he did it... It's better...
…
Framing someone to blame?
But who can he frame by deliberately pretending to perform witchcraft? Lan Hai cannot do it, after all, Lan Hai is his ally now.
So……
General Lu Gao and Major General Sebastian, you will offend both of them!
Du Wei snorted and suddenly walked slowly to the side of the two warriors. When the two warriors saw a white-robed warrior approaching, their expressions became even more frightened. They lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Du Wei.
brush!
Du Wei suddenly stretched out his hands at the same time and pulled out the scimitars of both of them. The two warriors only said that they had offended the wizard. Seeing Du Wei pull out his own sword, they were afraid that their lives would be risked, and their faces were pale.
They all fell to their knees on the ground.
However, people on the grassland respect wizards the most. Even if Du Wei killed two people on the spot, they would never dare to resist.
Du Wei held the two scimitars and recited a magic spell silently, which was the real magic of Roland Continent. At the same time, he quickly used his hands to lightly rub the two scimitars on his sleeves, revealing the magnet hidden in his sleeves.
, the two scimitars had already been destroyed silently.
Then the ice magic was cast, and two groups of cold air came out from his hands, instantly freezing the two scimitars with a layer of ice crystals!
Then Du Wei's wrist flicked, and there were a few crisp clanging sounds. After the two scimitars froze, Du Wei secretly used a magnet to destroy them. They suddenly turned into several pieces of ice and iron, and they broke apart inch by inch. He whispered.
The fragments are still wrapped in ice.
Han Muye, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw it. He vaguely remembered a legend on the snow-capped mountains, and couldn't help but blurted out: "Frost Dou Qi?!"
Du Wei sneered and glanced at Hanmuye deliberately. The look in his eyes clearly seemed to say: You know the stuff!
In this way, Du Wei threw away the two hilts of the knife, and slowly walked back to Ailu. After Ailu was startled just now, he said vaguely: "I am thinking of you, Hammuye... Spare them, and you will only destroy them."
Taking their swords is a small punishment."
Then, ignoring the two kneeling warriors behind him who nodded repeatedly, the two quietly walked away. After walking less than twenty steps, Du Wei had already cast a Yin Body Curse, and the two figures disappeared immediately.
And the people on the grassland behind were still praising in their hearts: the witchcraft of the wizard in white is indeed extraordinary...
Du Wei burst out laughing in his heart:
Frost fighting spirit?
Very good, very good! If you have determined that this is frost fighting spirit, then it couldn’t be better! In the northwest, where frost fighting spirit is known, it will naturally be Sebasta! By then, if the Witch King Bai Hechou tracks down the fake wizard
People, just go to Lu Gao to settle accounts...
The two of them quietly left the castle. Du Wei had already ordered in advance to remove the guards from the Duke's Palace who were guarding the surrounding area tonight. In this way, the two of them walked out of the castle all the way. After making sure that no one was following them, they left.
He returned to the Duke's Mansion in the other direction, and quickly returned to Ellu's dungeon. After closing the cell door, Duwei pulled off his mask, then rubbed his face with his hands a few times, and wiped the dirt off his face.
After rubbing the flour and dye, and scrubbing it twice from the bucket, he raised his head, looked at Ai Lu, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to cooperate very well. Although you are a bit simple-minded. But
Fortunately, I know the lines by heart quite well. I think that Hamouye must have been fooled."
After saying that, she looked at Ellu but said nothing, staring at the floor blankly. Then she sat on the bed weakly, and suddenly took off the wizard robe from her body, and tears silently flowed from her eyes.
"I... I betrayed Xueshan, the teacher I betrayed, and I will be Xueshan's traitor for the rest of my life." Ailu's voice had a trace of despair: "I... I don't know what happened to me, but I am actually willing to do it for you.
Such a rebellious thing happened! I..."
She suddenly jumped up and hit the wall head first.
Her movement was very fast. Fortunately, Du Wei was already very accomplished in magic at this time. He didn't see anything bad, and with a thought, he teleported over and blocked Ai Lu. With a bang, Ai Lu
She hit Du Wei's arms with such force that she almost knocked him over. It seemed that this girl wanted to die, and she just hit the wall with all her strength.
"You..." Ai Lu trembled, but felt herself bumping into Du Wei's arms, feeling mixed in her heart: "Why don't you let me die... I, I became a traitor, and I no longer want to live.
!”
Du Wei sighed in his heart and said: "I forced you to do this. Even if you are guilty, it is all my fault. What does it have to do with you? As a girl, if you fall into the hands of a bad person like me, of course you are unable to resist."
of."
"But..." Ai Lu's cheeks suddenly turned red: "You... you didn't hit me, you didn't scold me, and you never tortured me... I don't know how I could, just..." At this point, his tone became even more serious.
Wenwei: "I just obeyed you so stupidly, without even a single thought of resistance in my mind..."
However, Du Wei felt a little guilty at the moment. Seeing that such a simple-minded girl had become a traitor under his own tactics, he vaguely thought: Is it a bit too much for me to use this method to deal with a weak woman?
Already?
He said: "Speaking of rebellion, you have rebelled against Xueshan a long time ago, not today. Didn't you just disobey your teacher's order by assassinating Lu Gao that day? Tonight, you are just adding guilt to crime."
As the saying goes, it doesn’t matter how many debts there are, and it doesn’t matter if there are too many lice, you don’t need to feel too guilty. Now that things have reached this point... will it happen in the future..."
Du Wei thought for a while: "You follow me and do things obediently. As long as you are loyal to me, I will not treat you badly."
After a pause, Du Wei suddenly remembered something: "When you were talking to that Hamuye just now, why did you give your real name, Elulina? Didn't I tell you a long time ago to give you a false name?
?But you gave your real name. When Bai Hechou checks it later, he will know it’s you."
Ailu shook his head sadly: "I have done all the rebellious things, and I don't care about anything. Sooner or later, the teacher will find out. Even if he doesn't check, I will still be afraid and guilty. It doesn't matter whether I tell my real name or not."
Du Wei thought about it and felt that Ai Lu's assassination of Lu Gao that day was seen by many people, and the matter probably couldn't be concealed. When Bai Hechou traces the fake person, and hears Ai Lu's name, he will probably remember it.
It's not bad that the matter is related to Lu Gao.
Thinking of this, I won’t mention this issue anymore.
