Chapter 268 “bloody hell” (part two)

Fortunately, Prince Son probably understood that Du Wei will be unhappy over this As compensation, Du Wei will be allowed to pick his six thousand men directly fro them apart

After Du Wei gets first dib, the rest will have to be sent back to the iuards

There are some dissents in Du Wei, but his heart eventually relented: twenty thousand seasoned warriors, how can the capital not take heed of this force? Sure, it was expensive as all hell to feed this group for they were inside the prairie before, but now that they are withdrawn from the front lines… Who wouldn't eye this well trained cavalry unit!

Prince Son wasn't a fool

Just recalling his own plan before made Du Wei realized how ent

“Fine, six thousand it is then” Du Wei lets out a deep breath and secretly thought to himself: ”He already has three thousand cavalry, plus this six thousand and the two thousand White Feather Knights of the Lister House; he will only need to recruit no h not as great as he would like it to be, but beggars can't be choosers at this point

After looking through this secret letter, Du Wei immediately tossed it into the fire pit to erase its existence

Once that's done, Du Wei ordered his people to summon Biliaibuer over for some more talks

“When I set out, the military commander had already issued the withdrawal order to the cavalry division in the prairie If ht, it will be another day before they arrive at Loulan City As to the details of their place in the letter so I won't bother repeating it” Coher spirit and beca a negotiator, this guy's quite the talker

Du Wei nodded: “So what's the situation back in the capital now?”

“It's quite funny now that you rins at hiradually become less noisy over this ned the treaty It's just that the te so so harsh criticism towards your Dukeshi+p”

“Oh?” Du Wei frowned

As far as he's concerned, Du Wei doesn't recall ever crossing the Temple's path has he?

Biliaibuer chuckles: ”Did you not ilia City and then tethered them to a post? In the end, none of the captives survived That's the reason why the Temple is on your tail Ha-ha, especially the Holy Maiden She even publicly criticized you as a cruel tyrant and that yourmercy to the world…”

Du Wei nodded: “Holy Maiden… … Hmm, then what's the Temple's opinion?”

“The Teh they didn't openly support the ru this opinion too by not revoking it in public”

Biliaibuer hesitated and said, “Duke, I have a suggestion, just not sure…”

“Please speak, uncle Biliaibuer” Du Wei laughed: “Did you forget? In private, you don’t need to be so formal and call me Duke”

“Hinally wanted to set up a branch in your capital, but through your interference, the idea was banished…”

Du Wei indignantly rejected this claim: “When did that happen!! The Temple did send someone, but that's because they didn't want to purchase the land themselves How can they blame me when they refused to pay the fair price? My city is newly founded, so of course the her than normal!”

Biliaibuer shout the Empire… … When have a lord asked the Temple to purchase their own land for a new location? Really, this Duke has to the first”

According to conventional means, local officials or noble lords will never ask the Teifting a property with a building attached, the land should at least be free of charge, this was a must to show their respect towards the Temple and their followers

Explaining his view, Du Wei spoke in a soft voice: “My city is newly constructed and I'm not even a devotee of the Te? Plus, it's not like I'm the only noble lord that doesn't follow the Temple, am i?

Biliaibuer suess, it's likely the Holy Maiden is trying to sha you is the saent will side with you on this”

Du Wei nods with understanding: ”But, the Regent is already very tolerant of this woh, from what I can tell, this Holy Maiden doesn't have much of a brain”

Biliaibuer broke out into a bellowing laugh, ”This eh, I heard frohness that in order to beat aas there's so ht The Te this Holy Maiden in the Temple, it's just a h for the Regent to use as leverage against the Te the coup, royalty and religious power can never ht in the future, why not leave this virus inside the opposition?”

This explanation can be called straight to the point Du Wei was quite perplexed over this… Why is this old fox being so honest with hi issue arises, this person would always start yawning and pretends to be stupid

Pondering the issue, Du Wei kept his eye on Biliaibuer without looking away Sure enough, Biliaibuer followed up with the real reason: ”The truth is, in addition to the hness, I was also trusted with another request It's just that the matter is private and needed me to pass it on to you in person, hence the reason for my trip today”

“Oh?” Du Wei's an to work

Earl Biliaibuer sweetly s to the customs of the Roland Empire, you are considered an adult Within the noble circle, fifteen is the age when a ets ement should be in place Yet you, i authority, don't even have a target I'll let you know, there are ht now If not for the harsh conditions of the Northwest, I don't even kno hters at your doorstep Ha-ha… I'll be blunt If I had a daughter myself, I would've thrown her at you by now”
