Chapter 293 Part2 (2/2)

Prince Son shakes his head, s to live the rest of your life in the northwest? That region is cold and bitter Any other lord would've long chosen a governor and excused himself back to the capital Rather it's you You see in the northwest and never once returned to the capital”

Returning the gaze, Du Weithe situation in the Northwest, would you allow me to even if I wanted to come back? But of course, I' more for me to return”

They exchanged a laugh and said nothing more afterwards

Strolling through the garden together, it was Prince Son whom broke the uncomfortable silence: ”When the situation stabilizes in the future, you will eventually have to return Du Wei, I've always held you in high regard and saw you as soovernor of a province”

High expectations? Du Wei bitterly s ards! Back in the Northwest, I'est and can do whatever I like, what a carefree life I had! Instead, the moment I returned to the capital and I already ate a bad one at your hands

Looking at Du Wei’s face, Prince Son could guess what's on his ht, I knohat you wish to say so you don't have to keep it in You must be displeased with me since I didn't infored you into it”

Even if Du Wei was dissatisfied inside, how can he say it aloud? Gli the corner of his eye, he slowly said: ”I wouldn't dare You are the regent and I'm your servant, your courtier It's only natural that I must help carry your burden”

Prince Son laughed at that Then looking at Du Wei: ”Very well, that sixteen old coins, I won't have it out of your pocket Now you should be relieved, so don't make that bitter face Since this was commanded by me, I will fund it instead”

Oh? Workplace expense? Du Wei's complexion became a little better but remains wary Inwardly he understands full well that this wasn't a good syhness wouldn't offer up a benefit without cause!

Sure enough, not even a few steps out, Prince Son had shi+fted the topic to the situation in the Northwest

“I heard during your last encounter with the prairie natives you lia City Not only did you defeat that Gold Wolf Head General and his twenty thousand strong legion, you also took dohite robed shaainst you in nued to co Clan are natural born h I read the reports, but those are only on paper and not enough details, why don't you tell lia City?”

Referring to the “Rowling family”, Du Wei unavoidably became a little uncoed to Tulip

Luckily he knew Prince Son wasn't taking this fact to satirize hi a bit, Du Wei then recounted the entire event from top to bottom: First was the Northwest Army's collusion with the prairie natives, then how soldiers ca this time to allow the natives to infiltrate the ely forced the Northwest Army to retreat hundreds of roups and charged out of the city Then along the way, Du Wei gave the details pertaining to the encounter with the ene party and the battle which ensued under the walls of Anglia City…

Du Wei's tongue was good to begin so his story was very clear and easy to follow The entire time, Prince Son listened attentively and never once interrupted

After that, Du Wei added: “Your Highness, this victory, there's actually a lot of luck in there If not for the accidental encounter on the road with that scouting party, ouldn't have ever gotten news in ti Province, Bohan, also sent reinforcement in the nick of ti for the empire…”

“These I know” Prince Son waved his hand, interrupting Du Wei to suddenly come up with his own question: “But this still doesn't solve the puzzle… The prairie natives were doing just fine Why did they suddenly infiltrate our lands and besiege Anglia City?”

Du Wei became stunned for he knew full hy The natives ca to find the lost pet currently in his hand, but there's no way he's going to say that Casually finding an excuse to get by, he lied: “This I don't know either, presu to do with the collusion of the Northwest Are at Loulan City and then use the natives to raid across the province for loot”

“If it was just a raid then they wouldn't have sent their eneral” Prince Son shakes his head, pondering for a e No ated”

Not folloith more words from his end, Du Wei quietly stands to the side

Following a period of silence, Prince Son suddenly s the battle of Anglia City, you used some kind of powerful neeapons, am I correct? Hmm, jars that can explode I heard the explosive firepower is incomparable to ordinary weapons This was also one of the ion”

At that, Prince Son squints his eyes and happily grins at Du Wei

Sensing his heart sinking, Du Wei cried foul! Then again, he did use the gunpowder jars in open sight that day, everyone saw it, enemies and allies Even if he wanted to conceal the truth, he can't S wryly, Du Wei came clean: ”It's true… that is indeed a new toy I cae is not as powerful as the ruht it causes froive quite the scare”

“I fear it's not that sirins even wider at Du Wei, his eyes sparkling with anticipation

With Du Wei's heart sinking deeper and deeper, the Regent continues the conversation: ”I heard if you throw one of those jars into a crowd, the ensuing explosion will be enough to kill scores of ene effect which truly defeated the native legion And there's that tea the results of throwing the jars froht?”

The more he heard, the ent was getting at, he decisively closes his

“Alas…”

Prince Son suddenly h and looked Du Wei in the eye: ”Du Wei, I know asking you for this neeapon like this are a bit excessive and overboard, but you are smart I'm sure I don't need to point out a war in the northwest is inevitable Three to two five years top before the prairie legions invades the empire By then, in face of the prairie natives and the Northwest Arions, hoill your Tulip house withstand that force? I have been secretly overhauling the military's armaments since last year This neeapon of yours, if you can equip the Ireatest effect in the future war and greatly reduce the causalities”

How can Du Wei not understand this?

It's not like he's refusing to give Prince Son the gunpowder to equip the iave Bohan some so another Prince Son won't be any different at this point… It's just that there are still some pent up steam inside he can't let out!
