Chapter 289 [Unsolicitous Contributions]

Originally, Dewey feared that the Yenni would not die and would send someone to intercept him on the road again. But the next afternoon, some of my men returned, and a team of knights appeared on both banks of the river.

Dewey walked out of the cabin and onto the deck, just on the banks of the river, a group of holy knights in silver armor, heavily armed, proceeded in parallel with Dewey's boat on the river. Dewey frowned first, then Maximus came out and looked, and laughed: "My Lord, these are the sacred knights of the Montenegrins, they are here to protect us. ”

He then explained that when he had been attacked on his way in by boat and the boat had broken down, he had immediately sent a message to the Emperor in the special way of their temple, and that the sacred knights should have been sent by the Montenegrin faction to protect themselves.

Traditionally, Montenegrins have advocated neutrality. It is standard to admit that laws and regulations do not recognize human beings, but rather are impartial. Yenni and Mosa fought you to death, and they didn't care, but with their protection, if Yenni tried to kill an archbishop, the Montenegrins would never allow it.

Around a hundred or so of these Holy Knights, Dewey was flagged here, the boat slowed down, another boat landed, and the leader of the Holy Knight of the Leader was brought aboard.

What surprised Dewey was that the chief knight of the team was an eighth-level master. Since Hussein's rebellion, the original three top knights, Hussein himself has gone away, and the other two knights have died in Hussein's hands. The original top knights can be said to have all lost, and the remaining eight levels of strength are already top notch.

This time a Knight of the Eighth Class can be sent, and it can be seen that the Montenegrin faction attaches great importance to this Maximus.

The Knight of the Eighth Class was apparently a man of indifferent character, uploaded, not intimate with Dewey and Maximus et al., but after an indifferent salute, expressed himself in the tone of dry baba to protect the Bishop Maximus in his reign. Moreover, when Maximus spoke of gratitude, the knight did not seem to appreciate much, but merely blunted: “It is the duty of the Lord Bishop not to be polite. ”

This guy was not cold or hot, had no respect for the Duke of Dewey, nodded and turned away. Maximus was afraid that Dewey would get angry, and after the eighth knight left, he explained: “Lord Duke, please don't blame him for losing his manners, it's just these Montenegrin guys, always like this. They painstakingly repaired it, they didn't care much about the worldly things. The people in the temple were used to these monsters who believed in the teachings of the Montenegrins. In private, they added a nickname to them, saying that they were more appropriate than what they called the Montenegrins, but rather called them the" black-faced "pies. ”

Dewey is not one of those pussy chickenshit people, and, after learning about these nasty things in the temple, he is most fond of the Montenegrin party who practises neutrality, asking no questions about right or wrong, and begging only for painstaking repairs.

If all the people in the temple were Montenegrins, then there wouldn't be so much trouble.

Thinking about this, Dewey moved in his heart and looked closely at the horse racers on shore slowly and in parallel with the big boat. He couldn't help but lose his mind...

•

With the Holy Knight's escort of the Montenegrins, the road ahead was too peaceful, and the Yeni probably knew they couldn't do anything and abandoned the plan to assassinate them on the road.

The eighth knight with the team didn't come back to the boat for the next few days, except for the first day of boarding to say hello.

Dewey is kind of seeing the behavior of the bitter knights of these "Montenegrin pies", and on the journey of these few days, Dewey travelers naturally eat and live on the boat, and there are big boats to step on, and there is no fatigue.

And this hundred or more knights have been escorting all the way ashore, never leaving, never even stopping! Even eating and sleeping on horses! Throughout three days and three nights, the knights lined up slowly in parallel with the big boat and never left the minute. These Montenegrin knights are truly sacred knights. They are almost like iron men. They march on horses for three days and three nights. When they are tired, they sleep on horses in shifts. When they are hungry, they take out dried food with them. They sit on horses and take a few sips. They are thirsty, but they take off their skin bags and drink a few drops.

Dewey can't help but admire the seriousness and bitterness of these knights, although she is comfortable with herself. The Montenegrin guy is a true cult... but in Dewey's mind, I'm afraid the word 'self-inflicted’ needs to be added.

During the chat with Maximus, Bishop Maximus also confessed that although the Holy Knights had already been infiltrated by the Yeni Mossad, the Montenegrins were still the stronghold of the Holy Knights, and the Holy Knights of the various factions were also the most powerful with the Holy Knights of the Montenegrins. After all, this almost masochistic ordeal naturally gave people strong strength.

Heavenly reward, this is true both in ancient times and outside.

•

On that day, the boat went to a small pier less than thirty miles west of the capital city, where a Dewey pedestrian abandoned the boat to disembark, and the horses were transported from the boat before entering the capital by road.

Bishop Maximus naturally rode with Dewey in a carriage, but he was surprised to see Dewey's driver as a Nanyang slave and had to look twice more. After all, Van Dowi, a descendant of a noble family, even close servants like Mav, are mostly chosen strictly by the gatekeepers of their own family generations. It's about a scene.

Only the followers of the outburst households would be impure. Everyone has one. And in an identity like Dewey, Mav is a Nanyang slave, which is rare.

Thirty miles away, one day arrived, in the evening, finally came to the Siemens of Didu, on the mainland saw the majestic walls of Didu, under the sunset oblique, the contours of the first male city of the mainland are hidden, under the sunset, as if painted with a golden glory, Dewey couldn't help but feel, thinking that this is the second time back to Didu. The last time I came back, I was just a disappointed young master who was not loved by his father, and I was very cold eyed in the family. And this time back, he is already the Duke of the military power of one side, the first red man in the imperial circle of power. Yet his father had gone back home.

To think of it, Dewey sighed deeply.

And Maximus looked at Dewey and sighed, and he had to ask, "Duchess, you seem to be in a bad mood. ”

Dewey laughed and said, "My Lord Bishop, I was thinking, the cycle of things is very emotional. Sitting at the tip of the wind today, we may fall into the valley tomorrow. Look at this emperor, how many great characters for thousands of years, scolding the wind and clouds, by now, have not all turned into loess. And this is the only city that still stands. Success or failure, in the end, is just a lively scene. ”

Maximus had to be a little surprised, looking at this young Duke, thinking he was only a teenager, where did this old man come from? The more I feel about this young ally, the deeper it gets. To think of it, he laughed, "Duke, we Mossadists believe in the saying, ‘There is no eternal right and wrong, only eternal truth’. ”

Dewey listened and thought for a moment, "Well, that makes sense. After all, unlike the Jenies, the Jenie doctrine is too radical. It is just too restrictive to be right and wrong for a moment. You can see that nothing in the world can be too radical. Just like this castle, it is eternal truth, and the power of generations in the city to rise and fall is just the right and wrong of it. Today you are right, tomorrow he is wrong, there will always be ups and downs, but this castle remains the same. ”

Maximus smiled slightly and looked at Dewey: "My Lord, you are indeed clever. It would be an honor for us Mossadists to be such a smart man as you, if you could be a temple and become a believer under the Goddess. ”

Dewey laughed naturally and sincerely in his face, but I'm afraid I can't see it in his heart! I said to the goddess, "Long live the goddess," but in my heart I called her an old bitch, and the others didn't know.

Before arriving at the Tidu Gate, the horses found that outside the West Gate there was already a large army of soldiers from the Tidu security center, while beneath the city gate, idle miscellaneous people and so on had been dispersed, thousands of soldiers from the security center were lined up around, and under the city gate, hundreds of royal forest troops in bright armor were waiting, clustered with more than a dozen people.

As soon as Dewey's horse approached, he heard a band of bandits on the wall of the city that had already blown the trumpet, the city's thorny flag flying, the bandits full of winning triumph flags flying beneath the trumpet.

Of course Dewey can't hear the triumphant horn of the Roland Imperial Army. He promptly stopped the horse and stepped out of the carriage to look at it, but saw that those who greeted him under the gates were mostly aristocrats of the imperial capital, with the Imperial Inspectorate, with the Public Security Department, with the Treasury Department and with representatives of the military. I couldn't help but be surprised.

Far away, you can hear a loud voice laughing: “Duke, you're finally here. We've been waiting for you for half a day. You see, that guy in the Dylan Mountains, he's just too fat, he's been standing there too long, and he's called tired. If you don't come again, I'm afraid the fat man will have to find himself a warm place to rest. ”

Dewey, this is no small surprise!

It's the end of the year, it's the cold season, although it's not snowing these days, the climate is also very cold, at this moment the northwest wind formation is like a knife scraper. In front of these dozen people, the Earl of Billia and the Dragon Mountain Warcraft are old friends of their own, and the Baron Sark of the Treasury Department, who was originally the head of the Imperial Security Department, after the coup d 'état, voluntarily handed over the military power of the Security Service, gained the trust of Prince Chen, and now holds a lot of power in the Treasury Department.

Standing next to him, there was the man who, during the coup d 'état, set up the “gold-minded undercover" and later became Lord Camisillo, the new head of the security service in Tidu, the one who had ordered a gorgeous armor set at Dewey's shop for heavy gold.

The rest of you, who are also the chief generals of Prince Chen's family and the hearts and minds, now have a place in the center of the Emperor.

These people stand at the gates of the city in the cold wind to greet themselves, and this face is really big.

Though he was a duke, Dewey couldn't set the shelf. He hurriedly abandoned the carriage and walked up. His face filled with a warm smile: "Hahaha! It really upsets me! So many dignitaries greeted me at the gates of the city, but I couldn't help but think of Dewey! I didn't think that Dewey had left the Emperor for almost two years before coming back, so you gave me such a big face, how can I afford it? ”

He came up to greet the prince's classmates with enthusiasm. After he hugged and greeted them, the head of the security department, Camisillo, whispered: "Duke, you are the wrong person! We're all old friends, let's be honest, although we're good friends, man, I'm certainly glad you're back from the northwest. I can't help but pour you a few bottles of good wine and have fun together! Ha ha! However, if I wait for you in this cold weather for half a day at the gates of this city, I will not suffer this sin, haha..." This Camisillo is one of the most trusted people under Prince Chen, and his personal relationship with Dewey is also good. These words are also a big truth. Instead, they make people feel more intimate. Dewey listens and moves in his heart: “Oh? Did your good friends come to pick me up today? Dewey is...”

Kamisirohaha smiled: "My Duke! Others don't say, just say this fat man in Deland Mountain, he enjoys it the most, can't bear to suffer a little. Although everyone is friendly, he also refuses to stand here for you to drink the northwest wind! However, we are here today, first for compassion, and second... by order of the Regent, of course. Otherwise, I'm afraid we won't be able to move the Kingsguard Forest Army of these palaces by ourselves. ”

Dewey smiled suddenly.

Just in front of this momentum, the Wencheng Wushu under Prince Banchen greeted him at the gate of the city, and the army lined up, over the city building, the brigade pulled out the full head... This is completely a stand-up for the triumphant general, but only slightly reduced in size, but there are also some to be had.

“Gentlemen, it gives me a headache!” Duwihaha laughed: “This is like greeting General Triumph, I was only on the northwest side for two years, not much of a triumph. ”

Count Billia walked up to Dewey and pulled his clothes, whispering: “Dewey, that's what His Highness meant. Alas... Your Highness let me tell you that he understands that the battle between the city of Gilliant and the Prairie Man was your credit. Although the head of the Golden Wolf was sent by the Northwest Army, the military merit, nominally stolen by the Northwest Army, in fact, the credit for defeating the Prairie Man's 20,000 Iron Ride should belong to you. It's just, Your Highness said, he knows that this is really a matter for you! The name of military merit cannot be given to you, but this time you come back, you must always give you a leader to greet the triumphant meritorious minister, you cannot freeze your heart! ”

When Dewey listened, she couldn't help but feel a little moved. But when you're touched, you cry awesome immediately!

His Royal Highness Prince Tatsune is amazing! Such a resourceful way to pull people together is brilliant! In this cold weather, a large part of my heart was sent out to create such a small ceremony to greet the triumph, so considerate, I'm afraid any other son would have to be moved.

Even if it were me, knowing that it was only a means under the control of His Highness, I couldn't bear to warm my heart.

Then the trumpet rang, and Duwei and the dozens of powerful men, under the crowd of security guards and the Royal Guard, swept into the emperor's capital.

Maximus, as a temple man, did not make an appearance. After entering the city, he left Didu and went to the temple himself under the patronage of the Holy Knights. The old bishop looked at Dewey in such a way that he was convinced that the Duke was just adorable and powerful, and he was right to pull such a foreign aid this time.

After entering the city, such a large scene, so many soldiers followed along the way, huge and shaky, naturally caused the sight of many people in the Emperor's capital.

After a while, Dewey noticed the wrong direction and couldn't help but ask: “Yikes... how...”

In front of us, a large group of horses broke into a road to the left beneath the Imperial City, which Dewey was very familiar with. It's just not the little house he lived in before he left Didu. Turned to the old house of the Rollins!

A good house in front of him was the residence of Count Raymond, who had grown up as a child and belonged to the Rollins. Only after the coup d 'état, the house was copied, and then Dewey didn't come back. Anyway, he was going northwest. The house was taken back and sold by the Emperor's Treasury, and he didn't care, and Count Raymond had been convicted of treason, and the house was not returned to Dewey at that time. Sold by Imperial Decree.

But when he came back, he stood outside the door and found that the house had been renovated, even the slabs on the road in front of the door had been re-laid, and the gate was built with riches, a crest of the tulip family carved out of gems and pure gold, embedded on the gate. There is also a golden tulip flag next to it.

The former Count's Palace has now become the Duke's Palace of Tulip.

Dewey was wondering, and Camisillo next to him whispered: "My Duke, this house was brought back to you by His Highness Chen himself by the Treasury Secretary. ”

Dewey opened her mouth and said, "Oh? But I remember that when I left Didu, this house had already been sold to others...”

Camisillo whispered: “Hmm, His Highness named me to come back, even if there is already a master here, who dares not make a good move.” Baron Sark of the Department of Finance next door laughed, “Duke, you're welcome. The house was personally bought for you by His Highness and from the treasury secretary. Your Highness said that your Duke's house in Didu is too small for your Duke's identity. Although this house is an old house of the Rollins, your relationship with the Rollins is well understood, so you don't have to do anything disingenuous. People are old school. You must love this house. I just brought it back for you. I ordered it to be renovated vigorously, but it cost a lot of gold! ”

As he said, he grabbed Dewey's hand and walked in, laughing. “Come on, come in and see if you're satisfied! A lot of the items in here are from the fat guy in Duran Mountain. This guy has a really good eye for picking things, although they are crude. To be honest, we all came to see it after it was done. It was so eye-catching! Even Count Billia said that his place was fast becoming a stable compared to your house. ”

Dewey walked all the way in and sucked in a cold breath of air!

Looks like the Regent spent a lot of money to cage himself. The house was renovated extremely thoroughly. The house was architectural, magnificent, luxurious and tactless. He walked into the yard, and all the trees were obviously carefully planted, and along the way, dozens of servants dressed in new clothes stood in drops, and when he saw Dewey coming from afar, he bent over to give a gift.

“We found these people for you. His Royal Highness Chen also sent you several courtroom courtesans to train, just to ensure that you are satisfied. ”

Along the way, Dewey suddenly stopped, and in the innermost part of the house, unlike those magnificent buildings in front, he kept an extra small yard.

This courtyard is not somewhere else, but it was Count Raymond's study. Dewey glanced and couldn't help but stand still. The original buildings here have been renovated, but the yard is the only one that has maintained its original appearance.

“That's what I mean.” Count Billia whispered: “Since it's an old house, you have to leave a little trace of the old days, and there's something in your heart that you can feel. Everywhere else was rebuilt, but I heard this was Raymond's study, so I stayed. Alas... Dewey, I know you're an old man. ”

As Dewey stood outside the courtyard, he saw the small building inside, completely different from the outside, with no luxury at all, but with some calm in the cold. It is precisely in the evening, beneath the night, that house is covered in shadows, surrounded by cold winds, blowing grass and sand.

I don't know if the servant didn't turn off the lights after cleaning up, but in the study, the lights came out of the window.

As soon as Dewey looked at the scene, she suddenly felt like a soft spot had been hit hard!!

Memories of every scene in my heart come to mind!

When I was young, the “father" tried to tease himself in this yard in order to make himself speak.

When I was young, in order to practise martial arts, I let the Alpha Guard inspect my body here.

And later, we hired Clark Magician of the Magic Union to examine his magical talents here.

At that time, my father was disappointed in himself once and for all... well, the scene must have hit this man very hard. After all, he is the Count, the head of the family, and bears the burden of the family, but his only son is a piece of crap.

Later, he returned to Didu from his home in Rollin, also in this study, where his father tried to repair his relationship with himself.

But also in this study, the father and son finally broke apart!

Remember the summer before the coup day, also in this study, his father personally admitted that he had sent someone to kill himself...

Remember that day when your heart was so cold!

Summer is empty, the heart is like an abyss... well, that's how it feels.

At this time, Dewey's heart was emotional, and his mind turned not knowing much, and he couldn't help but be a little crazy. Count Billia and others next to him, as if they understood Dewey's mood, did not speak to disturb him.

After a while, Dewey took a deep breath, turned around, bowed deeply to the people behind her, and sank:

“Gentlemen… thank you! ”

Dewey's words of “thank you” were sincere and heartfelt. Count Billia and others laughed, and the Darren Mountain Warcraft muttered: "Well, my Duke, everyone has been waiting for you in the cold wind for half a day! I was going to drag you for a drink, but do you know you've been all the way to Lawton? It's not too late tomorrow. It's just that now, Fatty, I'm going to go back and warm up! This damn weather, if I don't fill two pots of hot wine in a hurry, I'm afraid my fat man is really going to turn into a popsicle. ”

In other words, everyone laughed. Then Dewey saved a few sentences, but everyone knew that Dewey had just come back and quit.

Dewey sent the people away, looked at the new servants in the house, shouted at the guards he had brought, and let them go down to rest. He asked them to move their rituals into the study, and then let them back off, leaving Dewey alone in the study.

The look of the study is still the same. Even that chair was sat by the former Count Raymond... and I don't know where the guys from the Treasury Department got it.

Dewey sat behind the desk, in his old father's position, and then, as if he were subconscious, turned around casually, from the back shelf, and touched it, and from behind a few books, he actually touched a bottle of wine from behind a few books.

Looking at the bottle in his hand, he had to smile: "What a Count Billia, a man who knew how to pry! Even this stuff stayed put for me. ”

He touched the bottle in his hand, then untied the lid for a sip and sighed a long time.

Well, back then... my father must have been sitting alone in this study a lot.

He is the head of the family and bears the burden of the family, but my son disappoints him immensely. The burden of kilograms rested on his shoulders, and no one could tell him that the only way to relieve the stress was to hide in the study for a few sips of wine.

Well, the mother always worried about her father's body and wouldn't allow him to drink more before he hid the bottle behind the book on this shelf.

When I think of it, Dewey's heart is first sour and warm, and I don't know how to clear the taste of my heart.

He's from here, but he's suffocated the QQ that's been locked in the cage.

Since sitting down as a "Duchess' Pet," in public, in the presence of outsiders, QQ has generally had to squat honestly in a big cage made for it.

At this moment, when the outsiders were gone, QQ jumped off himself and came out of the cage - the cage was never locked, it was just a look for the outsiders.

After all, when Dewey learned the true identity of QQ, he locked the first Pope of the Temple of Light in history in a bird cage, which really embarrassed him.

“The look on your face, this is a strange moment! I haven't seen that look on your face in almost two years in the Northwest.” QQ sighed.

Dewey shook his head: "These things, you don't understand. ”

Then he rubbed his face and smiled: "Okay, now we're finally back. But this Regent gave me a big surprise. ”

QQ said, "Surprise is a surprise, but I'm afraid he tastes good for you, and not unconditional. ”

Dewey poured another small sip of wine casually, smiling: "Of course! As a monarch, he has always managed his subordinates, even if the means are ever-changing, no matter how complex and subtle, it's just an appearance, but ultimately worn out, it's just one: carrots and sticks! ”

He rubbed his nose and laughed bitterly: "First I mobilized so much power in Tidu to get me a ceremony to greet the triumph and give me enough face. Giving this house back to me again is like playing love cards! This string of carrots is enough… However, the next time this stick falls, it will certainly not be lighter. ”
