After finishing speaking, the woman stared at Du Wei deeply for a while, and the absolute look in her eyes made Du Wei tremble in his heart.

Watching Mrs. Liszt turn and leave, Du Wei gently stroked the flowers. Suddenly his finger retracted and his fingertips were scratched by barbs. Du Wei looked down and said with a wry smile: "The thorny ground flowers are really powerful.

"

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Du Wei stood alone in the garden. Mrs. Lister's departure made him feel quite emotional.

"You...are your methods too ruthless?" Saimel's voice came from deep in his mind.

"how?"

"That little girl from the Liszt family, can you bear to put this kind of political marriage on such a poor and lovely girl? Moreover, you clearly know...she still misses you, at least now."

Du Wei was silent for a moment, then suddenly a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Semmel... my dear Semmel... you know, I recently read "General History of the Mainland", and there was a sentence in it that made me deeply moved.

"

"……What?"

Du Wei took a deep breath, with a look of indifference and solemnity on his face, and said calmly: "Many times, you proudly think that you have controlled your destiny. In fact, you have always been controlled by your destiny!"

In the back of his mind, Semel suddenly fell into silence.

"Do you know who said this?" Du Wei smiled lightly: "It's Aragon Roland!"

"...But this woman named Lister, she said she will definitely make you fall in love with her."

Du Wei shrugged his shoulders, went to a bush of thorn flowers, sniffed it gently, and said calmly: "Let's wait until the day I really fall in love with her!"

On the second day, the patience of the grassland messenger Hamuye finally came to an end. Du Wei finally received the prince of the grassland.

Although he slept in a tent for several days, ate "takeout" for several days, and worried about the night, the prince of the prairie lost some weight. But he still seemed to be in good spirits.

Du Wei adopted the suggestion Mrs. Liszt gave through Dardanelle. Instead of waiting for the other party to give in, he first hinted at his own conditions.

Sure enough, when Du Wei hinted that the empire could remove the 20,000 cavalry stationed on the grassland, this proposal immediately aroused Hamuye's strong interest.

"No matter what..." Du Wei clearly explained his position: "This clause must not be written in the credential contract! Even if you wrote it, I will not admit that this is the condition we paid!

"

Du Wei's biggest concession was his promise that after the peace talks between the two sides, in the name of the imperial military headquarters, he could order the 20,000 cavalry to train long distances and come to Desa Province in a separate document. After that, he would find a few more excuses.

Let this cavalry stay forever.

Hammuye was very interested in this tempting proposal. He didn't bother to pursue Du Wei's neglect.

And Du Wei finally "generously" treated the envoy from the prairie country to a dinner. He no longer asked the envoy to buy "takeaway" out of his own pocket.

The first meeting between the two was described as a friendly and good atmosphere. After the meeting, Du Wei immediately found his staff Philip and asked him to negotiate and draft a letter to Prince Chen and the Imperial Military High Command.

.

"Recommendations on Applying for the Abolition of the Remaining Cavalry Division in the Grassland"

After looking at the header of this official document, Philip raised an objection. After all, the word "disbandment" is too sensitive. After being invaded by the prairie people just now, not only did the empire not fight back, but it also had to disband the garrison in the opponent's territory. It was really

It is an act of showing weakness. I am afraid that the passionate public opinion will also call Duke Tulip a traitor because of the word "abolition"!

"How about changing the word 'abolition' to... reorganization or expansion." Philip smiled and said: "In this way, although the essence is the same, at least it sounds better."

"Okay, you can draft the document and decide how best to write it. You will be responsible for considering these issues." Du Wei simply left the issue to Philip.

At this moment, Philip suddenly raised a new question: "By the way... Regarding the treatment of Sir Hamuye, the messenger from the grassland... I have an idea that suddenly came to my mind. Although it sounds a bit ridiculous, it may work.

It works wonders.”

"What?"

Phillip looked stern: "The Snowy Mountains! People on the grasslands regard the Snowy Mountains as a god-like existence! We may be able to use the Snowy Mountains to make a fuss!"

Du Wei pursed his lips tightly and looked at Philip carefully, as if he wanted to see something special from the young staff member's face and eyes!

Big snow mountain...

Du Wei thought to himself: Rodriguez told me a long time ago that Lan Hai is also a disciple of the Snowy Mountains! Then this great scholar of Lan Hai actually sent eighty disciples to follow me to the northwest, and he asked me to abide by the experiment and try my best to keep it.

Steppe people invade the empire.

Obviously, it is not simply "patriotic"! It must have a profound meaning!

These days, although Du Wei knew about the relationship between Lan Hai and the Snowy Mountains, he did not mention anything about the Snowy Mountains to the disciples that Lan Hai entrusted to him. This Philip, although he has grown rapidly, is also a talent that Du Wei is optimistic about...

...However, Du Wei was still a little unsure!

Philip, this young man, is he completely loyal to himself... or is he loyal to the blue sea... or the Snowy Mountains?!

Or, as a disciple of Lan Hai, is this Philip a simple citizen of the empire...or...
