When she said the last two words "brother", a trace of sadness and hesitation flashed in her beautiful eyes.

Du Wei immediately put away his smile and sat up straight, not daring to laugh anymore.

"It happened more than ten days ago..." The princess' eyes were lowered, covered by long eyelashes. There was worry in her eyes: "I occasionally went to where my brother lived, and I wanted to say something to him.

, As a result, I smelled a smell of medicine in his room... I suspected that my brother might be sick. "

Du Wei's heart moved, and he couldn't help but vaguely remember the possibility that he had thought of before... However, he still remained calm on the surface, and said slowly: "The Regent has not practiced martial arts since he was a child. He only likes magic. His body

I'm afraid he is one of the poorest emperors in the past, and if he gets a few minor illnesses on weekdays, it's nothing to worry about."

"No, it's not a minor illness." Princess Louise's voice was not loud, but her tone was very sure!

She shook her head gently, with a trace of struggle in her expression: "When I was taking care of Hussein in the northwest, and in the next few months, I took care of his wounds with my own hands. The old magician in green robe

Sir, you taught me a lot of magic potion formulas. Although I don’t know magic and I don’t understand many principles at all. But after a few months, I have firmly grasped the formulas of some magic potions and the effects of some magic potions.

I know it by heart. I personally prepared many of Hussein's medicines for his injuries. Now, I can identify many medicines without looking at them, just by smelling them."

Du Wei smiled: "Well, that old guy also told me privately that you are actually very talented."

The princess showed no joy at all for this compliment, and still had a worried look on her face: "That day, the smell I smelled in my brother's room, although I couldn't identify anything else, there was one smell in it, and it was me.

It’s so familiar! That taste is... ice berry!"

Du Wei's heart skipped a beat!

"I know that ice berries can relieve pain." Louise sighed sadly: "When I was in the northwest, I was most familiar with this medicine and the first to learn it. But you and the green

The old magician in the robe had warned me not to take too much of this kind of thing. So when I first treated Hussein's injuries, I only gave him a very small dose of ice berries. However, I was in my brother's room.

The smell that he smelled in it was obviously very strong, which means that the amount of ice berries he used must have been a lot."

Du Wei thought for a while, but his voice was still calm: "That doesn't mean anything. In addition to relieving pain, things like ice berries also have other effects."

"Are you talking about using it as a psychedelic drug for fun?" The princess glanced at Du Wei, then shook her head firmly: "I know my brother! He lives a very self-disciplined life. Since he came to power, he has never been greedy for pleasure or psychedelic drugs.

He never takes drugs like that!"

"Perhaps the magician who treated him and prepared medicine was too mediocre and used the wrong weight." Du Wei still carefully searched for other possibilities.

"My brother is the regent. With his status, he can decide the medicine he uses. There is only one person in the palace, the chief magician." Louise shook her head: "Although I don't understand magic, I also know that as the chief magician

, my ability is not too bad."

Then, she sighed faintly: "I didn't think much about it at the time. I just asked him casually if he was not feeling well. There was a smell of medicine in the room, and my brother's reaction at that time was not surprising. He just said that he didn't feel well.

, caught a cold... But these words revealed a flaw. He thought I was the kind of person who didn't know anything about magic potions, but he didn't expect that I had learned a lot in the northwest for a few months. Although he concealed it

It’s very good, but I know that if you catch a cold, you won’t be able to use ice berries anyway!”

"Well, it's not necessary." Du Wei's tone gradually became serious.

"I didn't dare to ask him any more questions, but in the next few days, I went to look for him consciously. Every time I would smell a faint smell in his study or his room. Others might not be able to smell it.

came out. But I remembered it firmly. In other words, he has not stopped taking ice berries for so many days!"

Du Wei suddenly interrupted Princess Louise: "But more than ten days ago, I also went to the palace and saw the regent in the study. There was no one in his room at that time..."

Du Wei wanted to express that if there was that kind of smell, it would be absolutely impossible for him not to smell it. But then he suddenly remembered something:

It seemed that when I went to see the Prince Regent that day, all the windows in his study were open, and there was still strong-smelling incense burning!

Then, there is only one answer: the regent knew that he was very accomplished in magic potions, so he deliberately... concealed himself?!

"I have been a little worried in my heart those days, so I couldn't help but privately asked some familiar guards near the palace where he lived about my brother's recent situation. I didn't get any questions from the guards' mouths, and they didn't notice anything.

.But just when I was about to dispel my doubts, I unexpectedly learned something from a guard."

Louise's voice suddenly trembled: "The guard told me casually that my brother has been in a bad mood recently. Everyone is very nervous around him, because my brother has executed three or four people for some very small reasons a few days ago.

He is his personal attendant...so, I think..."

Speaking of this, Louise suddenly couldn't bear it and closed her mouth.

Du Wei sighed and said slowly: "So, you think, maybe he was the regent's personal attendant, and he accidentally discovered something, so he was killed by your brother to silence him, right? But you are not willing to accept that your brother wanted to silence him.

As for killing people, so... I can understand your mood."

Louise's eyes suddenly turned red, as if she was about to cry, and she said in a trembling voice: "I know, I am not a smart girl, but, being in the royal family, I still know some basic things... My brother suddenly took the throne

I already had some doubts about the matter of leaving it to little Charlie, but now that I know that my brother's body is very likely...possible...the combination of these things makes me no longer doubtful."

She looked at Du Wei, pleading in her tone: "Du Wei, I don't know what to do about this matter. These things have been tormenting me these days, and I don't know who to talk to. Moreover, if this matter

If it is true, then this secret cannot be leaked out casually! I...I...I thought about it, and since I can't find Hussein, I can only come to you first."

Du Wei nodded and suddenly said: "Your Highness, you... trust me so much? I mean, if this thing is true, then this secret must not be leaked! Especially at this time!"

"I trust you!" Louise said slowly: "Hussein said that you are the person he trusts most. He trusts you. So, I am his woman, and I trust you too!"

Before Duwei got off the carriage, he warned Louise not to say anything or do anything about this matter, and not to take any action until the matter was clear.

As for Princess Louise, after she told Du Wei about this matter, she seemed to have been relieved of a huge burden. The burden that had been tormenting her for many days was transferred to Du Wei, and the girl felt much more relaxed.

After sending Miss Osie into the carriage. After leaving with Princess Louise, Duwei turned around, the smile on his face disappearing bit by bit.

His expression became extremely gloomy!

"I heard from the humans we captured that it's August in the human calendar now...and it's the warmest month of the year." Bronze Tiger looked at the rhinoceros: "So, if we continue to wait, the weather will

It will get colder and colder. Food will be consumed too quickly."

"What do you mean?" Rhino's eyes were shining.

"That human defense line... they have obviously withdrawn all their resources to the south. As long as we can break through this line of defense first and rush to the south, we will have everything we need! Food, weapons, land! Here we go!

At that time, we no longer need to listen to the orders of those elves! Rush to the south, seize back the land of our ancestors, and rebuild our orc kingdom!"

"Very good." Rhino stood up and clapped his paws hard with Bronze Tiger: "No wait, let's attack first!!"

The twenty days set by General Rostock and his subordinates have not yet ended. Finally, the enemies below the city took action first!

On this morning, the imperial soldiers guarding the city wall discovered something strange in the enemy camp in the distance!

When the first ray of sunshine in the morning fell, among the large wooden walls in the distance, the huge wooden hanging door suddenly fell down!

Then, a group of fierce cattle warriors ran out of the camp gate. They grabbed the black and huge horns in their hands, puffed up their cheeks, and blew hard!

Amidst the loud sound of horns, a low roar like muffled thunder came from the army of sinners, and then, several black torrents rushed out of those hanging doors!

Black iron armor. Long knives with a cold light! Teams of orc monsters quickly formed a formation in the wilderness in the distance. Black square arrays were quickly arranged one by one!

At this time, tall catapults were pushed out from the camp gate! Those catapults made of huge wood had been wrapped with layers of thick animal skins and installed with pushable wheels on the lower end.

Pulleys, and under each catapult, there are dozens of orcs covered in the strongest and heaviest armor!

In the cold weather of the morning, those orcs puffed hot air from their mouths and shouted loudly, struggling to push the catapult outside the camp gate!

At this time, in the dark orc phalanx, a crude and huge animal skin flag was raised high!

Seeing that flag, countless orcs let out roars and shouts that reached the sky. They beat their chests hard and hit their shields with the swords in their hands, making the sound soar to the sky!!

"They're attacking! They're going to attack!!"

The officers on the city wall immediately turned around and shouted at the top of their lungs: "Enemy attack!! Enemy attack!! Everyone get on the city wall!!!"

On this city wall, the top general on duty today was Milo. He stepped on the city stamp, looked coldly at the enemy in the distance, then pulled out his long sword and raised it high, using his powerful and powerful words.

The voice roared: "Prepare to fight!! Soldiers! Fight for the Empire!!"

His metal armor reflected light in the sun, and the first ray of sunlight shone on the top of the city and fell on him. Under the general's majestic order, his whole body was glowing with sunlight!

Under the city wall, groups of heavily armed imperial soldiers ran up from the female wall, formed a tight formation, and held their weapons tightly!

"Fight for the Empire!!" General Milo roared loudly.

"Fight for the Empire!!" On the city wall, countless humans made the same voice!!
Chapter completed!
