Chapter 266 Chapter 236 Weasel Visits

When Alpha returned to Gilliat City single-handedly, the battlefield below the city had already been cleaned up.All the corpses of the prairie wolves had been buried, and the loess above the battlefield was still permeated with bright red blood, riding past, Alpha could even smell the strong bloody smell in the air. In the sky, several vultures were still circling in the distance. Under the city, above the wilderness, the first thing Alpha saw was not Du Wei. In the place where the prairie people camped, hundreds of wooden stakes were densely planted on the ground. On those wooden stakes, the captives of the prairie wolf were stripped of their clothes and hung high on the wooden frame.

When Alpha got closer, he realized that these wooden stakes were in the shape of a cross. From a distance, those prairie people were bound, but when they got closer, they were not! Everyone was stripped naked, splashed with blood all over their bodies, and then opened their hands to form a cross shape, and the palms of both palms were nailed to the stake! Under the scorching sun, some of those captives were dying, and the corpse-eating vultures in the sky stared at them. Next to him, Du Wei sat on a chair, and behind him stood a dozen men with murderous faces, looking coldly at the grassland captives tied to the cross.

"My lord, this is the last batch." A cavalryman from the Tulip family behind him whispered. "Okay, let's load the car." Du Wei nodded: "Remember, give them some food and drink along the way, so they don't die all at once, understand?" The cavalry bowed and retreated. After Alpha rode his horse and approached, he turned over and walked up to Du Wei. "You're finally back." Du Wei looked at Uncle Alpha, as if smiling, and there was warmth in his eyes: "I thought you left me." Alpha was silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "Master, since I have promised Mr. Raymond, I will not leave you until I die."

Du Wei smiled, but he didn't smile happily. He walked up to Alpha and looked Alpha up and down.He saw the exhaustion of the former chief guard: "Let's go in and talk, I think you have disappeared for a few days, there must be a special reason, right?" Alpha nodded, but suddenly glanced at the prairie captives tied to the cross: "They..." "I ordered this." Du Wei said lightly: "This time we captured thousands of people. I didn't intend to keep these beasts to waste food. All the people were nailed to the pillars. I ordered to use carts to Take these people to patrol around my territory! Let everyone who sees understand one thing...Northwest Desa, as long as I, Du Wei, will not let these prairie people hit our home at will Come!"

It is indeed a good way to gain prestige and buy people's hearts. Alpha sighed inwardly, but looking at Du Wei whose eyes became more and more cold day by day, for some reason, he couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional, even regretful.The young master has changed, he is no longer the earl's son who hid in a small building to study and was polite to everyone in the family. For him now, the lives of thousands of captives were decided in a single thought. But Alpha is not the kind of pedantic guy who would have any responsibilities to the enemy, he just glanced at a dying guy tied to a pillar beside him, and then looked away: "Master, I am this time Go after that golden wolf head."

"Oh?" Du Wei's eyes lit up. After this battle, he defeated the opponent's 20,000 elite cavalry in one fell swoop. Hate: "You chase after..." He was about to ask if he had caught up, but seeing that Alpha's hands were empty, and there was no sign of a head hanging from the horse, he immediately changed his words: "You chased hard, so let's go back to the city first." Alpha shook his head: "It's hard work. I caught up with the golden wolf head, but I didn't have a chance to kill him and bring his head back. However, I found something even more surprising."

... In the former Governor's Mansion in Gilliat City, Du Wei listened to Alpha and told the story of what he saw. When they heard that the Northwest Army intercepted and killed Jinlangtou halfway, everyone under Du Wei cursed angrily. "What a cunning Northwest Army!" "Damn guy!" "mean!!" For a while, the one who scolded the loudest was Gaida, the little two hundred and five, but Du Wei's expression did not change when he heard it, he just thought about it quietly and smiled lightly: "It's not surprising, if it were me, I'm afraid I would do the same thing. What you did... This General Lu Gao is quick to react. Hmph!"

The Northwest Army is nominally a frontier garrison, but it dares to let the prairie people into the imperial territory!This is already a great sin!If it was the time in Niuli Town before, when about 2,000 cavalry from the other side were sent in to search for the monsters, they came and went quietly, did not cause any trouble, and there was no evidence afterwards, then it was nothing. But this time, it seemed as if the other party's tens of thousands of troops came in and openly attacked the city in the empire's territory!It also alarmed the garrison, as well as the garrison of Governor Bohan in the neighboring province!

Such a big movement cannot be concealed, and the imperial capital will definitely get the news! Although the imperial capital has always been beyond the reach of the Northwest Army and lacks effective means of restraint, it is only because the Northwest Army has been self-reliant, but it has been honest all these years. It has not done too many drastic things, and has not touched the bottom line of the Empire Central Committee! You can openly put tens of thousands of troops into the opponent's army!Although such a move has not yet raised the flag of rebellion, it is no different from treason!

Such behavior has greatly surpassed the bottom line of the empire's central government. I am afraid that even if the central government can bear it, it will definitely not be able to bear this kind of thing! The Northwest Army didn't want to really tear their faces apart, at least for now it seemed that they didn't want to openly rebel, so this approach was General Lu Gao's remedy! Looking at the subordinates filled with righteous indignation, Du Wei smiled lightly and said to himself: "Well, it should be like this... If I guessed correctly, I am afraid that the people sent by the Northwest Army to the Imperial Military Command to ask for credit, It's already on the way."

"Credit?!" Little Two Hundred and Five Gaida suddenly roared: "They still have the face to ask for credit? If it weren't for this gang of whores who let those prairie people in, how could our brothers die so many!! They also invited Gong? All these traitorous bastards should be hanged!" Du Wei was not angry, and looked at al-Qaeda: "They have long been traitors. If they were able to hang them, do you think the military will endure until today?" "But... no matter what, it's not a plea for credit!! No matter what, the crime of letting the grassland army in can't be erased! Such a big crime, don't you say that if you don't pursue it, you won't be prosecuted? !” Gaida blushed and had a thick neck. Du Wei sneered: "So what? Hmph, kill the Golden Wolf Head Guard! After all, he is a Golden Wolf Head! One of the four major army commanders on the grassland! Gaida, it has been more than 20 years, and the empire has Is there such a great contribution? Is there any record of beheading such a high-level enemy chieftain on the grassland? This is the first time in more than 20 years! Such a great contribution, if the Northwest Army doesn’t invite it, who will?!” "We killed the enemy! We defended the city! We killed the people! If we want to talk about credit, it must be our Tulip family!" Al Qaeda said this, and suddenly added: "There is also Governor Bohan , also sent troops to help us quell the chaos!" "So what... the golden wolf head died at the hands of the Northwest Army." Du Wei sighed: "The central government of the empire doesn't want to go to war, and neither does the Northwest Army! The so-called asking for credit is just a gesture of the Northwest Army. Sending the head of the golden wolf head means: Promise, I don’t want to rebel. If the empire gives credit to the Northwest Army, it means: I don’t want to fight either! Maybe the imperial capital will do superficial things and give some rewards, even money and food rewards." After all, Gaida was just a rough man, his face was flushed red, but he couldn't speak a word. Finally, he stomped his feet vigorously and cursed: "Damn it! I just can't figure it out!" After finishing speaking, the fierce general lost his face and walked out, not knowing where to vent his anger. Du Wei glanced at Robert and sighed, "Knight Robert, go out and look at this little 250, don't let him do anything..." Robert smiled faintly: "Commander Al Qaeda is just a little irritable, but he still has a sense of proportion. At most, he will go out to find a few captives, and whip the whip severely to vent his anger." "That's good, those prairie people, you can smoke whatever you want, and I don't feel bad if you smoke to death." Du Wei tapped his fingers on the table, with a strange smile on his mouth, and whispered: "Lu Gao, Lu Gao... you What are you thinking? You don’t want to openly rebel and kill the golden wolf head to stabilize the emperor... But what about the grassland? If the golden wolf head dies on the grassland, will you be spared? This time the grassland people came in, There is a Witch King behind you! Aren’t you, Lu Gao, afraid of the Witch King’s revenge? Daxueshan... well, Daxueshan..." Thinking of this, Du Wei looked at Alpha: "Uncle Alpha, are you really sure that Lu Gao's son... is using Frost Fighting Qi? Is it Rodriguez's lineage of martial arts? But I heard that Rodriguez seems to be He is self-taught, I haven't heard that he has any teachers, right?" Alpha shook his head. Rodriguez has always acted in a low-key manner. Few people know his origin. Du Wei sighed and thought to himself, only when he meets Rodriguez in the future can he ask him. When Hussein came back from the frozen forest that day, he brought the beauty under the moon and told about the dragon clan's coming to seek revenge. Rodriguez also asked Hussein to convey that he had listened to someone's persuasion and was going to come Northwest defected to himself and assisted himself. It's just, whose persuasion did he follow to make a paladin-level expert willing to work for him... The person who persuaded Rodriguez has a lot of energy! Du Wei still didn't know that the person who persuaded Rodriguez was a blue ocean scholar. He still doesn't know at the moment that Lan Hai's real name is Lan Haiyue, and he is also a disciple of Daxue Mountain. What's more, he didn't know that the relic of Gu Lanxiu he found from the secret underground passage, the former Great Snow Mountain Witch King Gu Lanxiu, was also Lan Hai's master. "I know this matter... Lu Gao's son is actually such a powerful master... Uncle Alpha, from your point of view, how powerful is that guy? How is he better than you? He hasn't reached the holy rank, right? " Alpha shook his head: "There are no holy ranks. But... If you compare me, I'm afraid I may not be his opponent. His appearance, strength should be eighth or ninth rank. And I am only eighth rank." "Young genius master." Du Wei sighed: "Our Hou..." At this point, he coughed, and immediately changed his tone, and said with a smile: "The traitor of the temple back then, that Hussein, known as The number one knight in the mainland, it seems that when he reached the eighth level, he was not as young as this major general, right? Why have we never heard before that Lu Gao's son is so powerful?" Alpha shook his head: "It was my negligence, young master. In the information I collected on the Northwest Army, there is not much information about Lu Gao's son." Du Wei shook his head: "Maybe it's because he keeps a low profile. You are not to blame for this matter. If the other party deliberately hides it, it will be difficult for outsiders to find out." ... During Du Wei's stay in Jiliad City for the past few days, news came that the two divisions of the Northwest Army surrounding Loulan City had withdrawn.The teams led by Longbottom and Hussein before heard the battle in Gilliad City, and each brought their own people to Gilliat City to join Du Wei. Although everyone hated the Northwest Army's behavior of eating inside and out, after all, they are much stronger than themselves now, and there is not much they can do. After discussing with most of his subordinates again, Longbottom and Al Qaeda led the remaining cavalry to continue patrolling the entire Desa Province to clear out the remaining scattered troops on the grassland. In the end, Du Wei gave a strange order. "Have someone prepare a carriage for me... I'm going on a long trip. Then, send someone to make a pennant for me! The bigger the better! The workmanship must be gorgeous and beautiful! On the flag... embroider some large characters for me !" Alpha was a little puzzled: "Master, what do you want to write? What do you want the pennant for?" "Of course it's a gift." Du Wei sneered: "On the flag, it's embroidered... well, 'Hero of the country, role model of the army'! Just write it like this, the bigger the better for me!" Alpha vaguely guessed something: "Master, you want to..." "I'm going to pay a visit to General Lu Gao of the Northwest Army." Du Wei sneered, "It's been a year since I've been in the Northwest. Me, I'll just go and see him." After finishing speaking, Du Wei didn't ask Alpha to say anything more, and waved Alpha to go down to prepare the big pennant. "Du Wei, what do you want to do?" Only Hussein and Du Wei were left in the room. "I want to go and see this old bastard." Du Wei smiled faintly: "This time we were tricked by the Northwest Army. If we don't make trouble for them, I don't have to hang around in the Northwest anymore!" Hussein frowned: "But, if you come to see him, aren't you afraid of being like a tiger?" Du Wei smiled strangely: "The Northwest Army took the initiative to kill the golden wolf head, and even showed favor to the empire... Although this is very clever, it also exposed Lu Gao's bottom line! He doesn't want to rebel now! At least not now!! So He won't really do anything to me! On the contrary, instead of detaining me or hurting me, he must step up his efforts to protect my safety and never let me do anything wrong on his territory. Otherwise, if a If the Duke of the Empire died in his home, then he would have no choice but to rebel! So...he will never dare to hurt me, and he will try his best to protect me!" Speaking of this, Du Wei said slowly: "One month is almost over...Speaking of it, it is almost in these few days, the second prince of the Dragon Clan should come to trouble me, right? When the time comes... just trouble The more than 200,000 soldiers of the Northwest Army, please let them act as my bodyguards!" Du Wei smiled insidiously: "Let people go out for a walk and tell the news that Duke Tulip went to pay a visit to General Lu Gao, the head of the Northwest Army, and personally sent a pennant and gifts to the Northwest Army. The news should be as big as possible. Some, more obvious...I want the Second Dragon Prince to know that I am in the Northwest Army!"
