Chapter 2542 (2/2)

It wasn’t until noon did the two fox come out of their duel While Du Wei had an obvious fake s in anger

“Since it’s like this, General Rugaard won’t need to escort me I will leave by the afternoon… You know, there are prairie horseo back soon, who knohat kind headache will be waiting for aard became

Turning greenish red, Rugaard bites his next words out: “Then I won’t show you the way!”

Not even bothering to say farewell, the general slams the door behind him

“What did you discuss with him in there?” Asked Hussein

Seeing Rugaard disappear into the study rooh… Let’s talk on the road Negotiating with this old fox isn’t easy Many tiotiation, I can tell he was ready to draw his blade at er would suddenly subside for some odd reason”

Although Rugaard said he won’t escort hi them outside

However, the most important part wasn’t the soldiers; it was the three thousand horses and weapons promised to Du Wei from the bet before Aside from that, there are also the female slaves saved from the hunt It’s a shame that not all of them were saved, but some was better than none

Using the cavalry troops to lead the way, Du Wei could finally let out a sigh of relief as the fleeting iht

“What did you really say to Rugaard?” Hussein was also inside the carriage with him

Du Wei eyes beaht: “The Northwest Corridor!”

Northwest Corridor?

Hussein blinked and blinked

“Aside fro the prairie desert to our territory, it is also our biggest weakness! The reason those prairie horseuards posted there turned a blind eye… Humph, if they continue to pull that every so often, on’t last for long! Therefore, I requested it be returned to us This on’t have to worry about the prairie natives sneaking in”

Hussein sighed: “Will Rugaard really hand such an i as he holds the Northwest Corridor, it’s akin to taking our throat as hostage!”

“He has no choice but to let go” Du Wei s to Watt City During the entire otiation In fact, I practically used every method in the book and some Fortunately I was certain he didn’t want to rebel, otherwise, he ht have really killed esture to appease those in the capital He estion to him was to hand over the Northwest Corridor so the Northwest Army can avoid responsibility for this event However, I htforward When he heard aard ireat watching him swear to heaven that he is absolutely loyal to the empire”

After a pause, Hussein suddenly asked: “Oh yes, where did you send Philip off to?”

He … … I sent hio h, once we are at Helan City, I believe Bohan will send for us to overnor’s manor Only then will our business on this trip finally come to an end”

After all that, Du Wei leaned against a corner of the carriage and began to ue

He’s really drained today Looking at it froaard was no different fro in a war

Moreover, on several occasions, Du Wei clearly sensed the opposition had already reached their liaard would always suppress that anger whenever he touched the cord……

There’s no way Du Wei would relent Retrieving the control of Northwest Corridor was an absolute h Furtheraard that he will mobilize troops to retrieve control of that place if he must! Either you rebel now or you hand it over!

Under such conditions, Du Wei finally forced Rugaard to compromise on the matter

But when Du Wei saw Rugaard’s faint set the idea the old guy was looking at hi

Sie canyon terrain that has a width as wide as ten miles!

Such a broad channel was no easy to task to guard, this was even arrison force there!

Firstly was that Du Wei’s troops lacked the resources Secondly, there’s no direct water source in that area If he wanted to station tens of thousands of troops there, he will need to transport astronomical amount of water from afar There’s no way he could do that for the supplies alone would drag him down!

Yet such a difficult geographic environment was his only portal into the prairie…

Sending troops won’t work but not sending won’t do either, what a dilemma

Rugaard … … You want to see ets the last laugh!

Two days later, Du Wei and his men arrives at Helan City where Governor Bohan and the Northwest Army marked their border

From here, the Northwest Army’s one thousand horsemen escort took their leave and handed off the job to Bohan’s garrison cavalries that had been awaiting Du Wei

Aside from Bohan’s men, Philip was also in the e, Philip had already co

With a face full of s Philip speaks: “Duke, Governor Bohan is very interested in the ‘in’ proposal you asked overnor’s manor”

Watching Philip’s fatigued getup, Du Wei sighed: “You’ve worked hard”

Indeed, Philip’sthe stubborn oldon his weak body

Du Wei then turns to Hussein and winked at the Saint Knight: “Look Hussein… We will soon have plenty of recruits!”

However, Phillips subsequently gave out a wry ss may not be as optimistic as it sounds… Because Bohan raised a condition that ht cause us some difficulty!”

“Condition?” Du Wei frowned
