Law of the Devil

Chapter 352 [The Back of the Far Back]

A month's time.

In just one month, the private army of Luo Lin’s family was re-established. A large number of veterans returned to the army, and there were many warrior knights who had been loyal to the Luo Lin family. After hearing the call, they all re-applied. The armor, from the first time in the Luolin Plain, rushed to the army to report.

The abandoned military camps in various places have revived their vitality, and the energetic soldiers are struggling to drill everything smoothly. Later, the local officials and local garrison troops originally appointed by the empire were evacuated from the Luolin Plain.

As before, the Luolin Plain has almost re-emerged as an independent small kingdom, a "Rolling Kingdom."

Du Wei clearly underestimated the Luolin people's enthusiasm and piety for tradition, and underestimated the appeal of the name "Lolin". Soon, the 50,000 private army was all full, but the streets were still full on the streets outside the town where the towns were registered to join the army.

At this time, Du Wei made a decision. Although the agreement with the Emperor Chen was 50,000 troops, Du Wei was not the kind of honest guy. He made a big stroke and ordered another 20,000 reserve. Well, reserve, should not be a regular army.

Old Raymond can't be on the bed. And his brother Gabriel is young. During this month, Du Wei almost shouldered the responsibility of equating the patriarch.

After the removal of the local officials of the empire, the local governments of various places were served by a large number of members of the Luo Lin family who had been re-initiated. These Luolin people who were forgiven were naturally grateful to Du Wei. Du Wei spends a lot of time reviewing documents every day. Of course, he has not forgotten his younger brother, when he handles these official duties. No matter how unhappy Gabriel is, Du Wei is forced to let this kid be with him.

When he was sitting in the study room and reading the official document, Gabri looked at the boy next to him. Even some official documents, Du Wei did not look at himself, but asked Gabriel to read it to him. Du Wei’s intention is very clear. Although young and frivolous is the nature of young people, Du Wei still teaches his younger brother many times: You are the earl of the future. Now the family is in a special situation, you don't have time to enjoy your childhood and innocent years! You must grow up and mature as soon as possible! You must understand these things in a short period of time...

Looking at his younger brother's face, Du Wei also had some soft hearts, but he still knelt down to adjust this kid.

"Gabri, don't blame me...because, I will soon leave the plains of Rollin! The burden here. I will press on your shoulders in the future!"

In fact, on the Luolin Plain, even the small traders and coachmen know: Although the nominal Earl's heir is now the young master Gabriel, although those who signed the official documents are the young Master Gabriel. However, in the castle of Rollin. The person who really makes all kinds of decisions is the Duke of Tulips!

Anyway, the duke of the tulip, Du Wei, is also the person of our Luolin family.

The name of the "Tulip Duke" is rarely used by the Luolin people for the name of Du Wei. Most people mentioned that the two in the castle are used to being called "big master and young master" to look intimate.

On this day, after the final appointment of the official document was signed, the transfer of military and political power in the Luolin Plain in the past month has been completely over. Before the coup, the 160-year-old Luolin people who were officials of various places in the Luolin Plains, except for those who were already seriously ill or already old, were reinstated. In the army, after a large number of old departments were convened. No matter whether it is a senior officer or a grassroots officer, Du Wei is not too worried.

These troops, Du Wei are very familiar, even far more familiar than Gabri...

To put it bluntly, this is still a bit less glamorous. After all, Du Wei once engaged in the "football league" in the army. For this reason, Du Wei was in the year of Luolin Plain. The relationship with these officers is very good.

The last appointment. It is the family guard. Uncle Alpha has already gone to the northwest with himself, and the position of the current family chief of guards is vacant. For this candidate, Du Wei took care of it for a long time, and then Gabri proposed a candidate.

"Tu." Gabriel said to his brother: "This guy is a bit stuffy, but it is also the old man trusted by his father, and after two or three years with me, doing things very carefully, martial arts is also very good."

Du Wei immediately remembered that when he first returned to the Imperial Capital, he first saw his younger brother, the indifferent bodyguard around his brother, so he made a big stroke and decided this candidate.

In order to rebuild the private army of the Luolin family, Du Wei can be said to have poured a lot of financial resources. After all, the Luolin family was once ransacked, and it has already lost its former glory. Moreover, there is not much money in the family, although it has to be returned. The territory of the Luolin Plain, but the next tax, will not be paid until next year. Now rebuilding the army, these military expenses are all Du Wei's money anyway, and what he lacks most is money.

He even took the time to send someone to the port of Walker in the south to meet the Nanyang United Kingdom attendant who was brought back with the Jolinn fleet.

Those Nanyang people have been killed by Ruolin. When they met Du Wei, they seemed to have seen ghosts. They were all treacherous and did not have any effort. Du Wei had an agreement with them in private:

First, Du Wei put the road Fick back to Nanyang to serve as the king.

In the second article, Nanyang United Kingdom is willing to pay a certain amount of wealth each year in exchange for the support of the Duke of Tulips, because the South Sea United Kingdom does not have its own currency, and Du Wei does not need gold, so decided to use South Sea pearls, spices, ivory, etc. Nanyang specialty (even Du Wei expressed willingness to accept slaves), the amount of payment per year is equivalent to the value of one million gold coins of the Empire.

As for the third article, Du Wei promised that he would influence the Empire Regent King as much as possible in his own identity and influence in the empire, and no longer initiate the expeditionary aggression against Nanyang.

In fact, if you follow the laws of the Empire. Although Du Wei is a duke, he is not an emperor after all. He has no power to sign any agreement with the Gentiles. He must be held accountable. This is already an ultra vires act and even a private collusion against the enemy! But Du Wei doesn't care about these things now.

On the one hand, Du Wei believes that the Empire is definitely not missing. No matter who you are, if you want to frame yourself. Then the death must be the other party. The empire is now in ruins. It is impossible to plan any Nanyang expedition anymore. Even the Navy must have a large number of "returns to the land". Therefore, it is not a big deal to sell an empty man to Nanyang.

And a deeper step... I have to say that Du Wei’s psychology has gradually undergone a subtle change.

Since he learned that he is Aragon, Aragorn is himself. Although he did not really think about it in his heart. But subconsciously. But faintly gave birth to a subtle thought:

This empire was originally built by "I"! What do I want, how about it!

As for the messengers of these South American countries, on the one hand, they do not understand the situation of the empire. In their view, as long as the empire can stop aggression. It’s already thankful. Where can I dare to ask for other requirements.

And the other... Although there are one or two smarter people in these messengers, they feel that if they want to sign an agreement, they should sign with the emperor of the Roland Empire. The tulip of the tulip does not seem to have such a great power...

However, Du Wei made a move at random, and left these guys to scare the guys into obedience!

Very simple: Du Wei pretends to have a dinner party to entertain these messengers, and then at the dinner, the sick Earl of Raymond, walked out of the ward, came to the banquet, and revealed a face. Although it was only a short period of time, it was enough to scare these messengers! !

Who is the old Earl of Raymond? He is a famous famous empire! The original naval commander, the military on the 2nd big squad... More importantly, he left an indelible horrible image in the hearts of Nanyang people! He is the most terrible butcher in the hearts of Nanyang people, the executioner, the aggressor! The naval expedition led by Raymond is one of the greatest damages and horrors of the Nanyang people in the expeditions of the past! The degree of fear in the hearts of Nanyang people. Can be better than Bilin, I don’t know how many times!

Seeing such a nightmare guy show up. These Nanyang messengers suddenly lost their last bit of courage.

The old butcher is the father of the Duke of the Tulip, the female butcher is the subordinate of the Duke of the Tulip... God. The duke of the tulip, what a terrible guy! !

Soon, the agreement was signed and there was no resistance at all.

After finishing these things, Du Wei can finally be a little easier. These days he was so busy that he was too tired to die...

Although he is also the military and political governor of a province in the northwest, in the northwest, he has a good helper in dealing with government affairs, Philip, the young man who is the prime minister. On the military side, there are two hundred and five generals, Long Barton and other gangs, and Du Wei is not too worried. When was he so busy? Now I can't help but deeply miss Philip and others. If I don't know that there is no one in the northwest, he would have liked to order Philip to call him.

At the same time, in addition to dealing with the affliction of government affairs, Du Wei's mood is not easy, his mood is heavy day by day, because...

Father's old Raymond's body, his illness seems to be heavy day by day! !

The old Raymond's disease began since it was recalled and returned to his hometown. The military commander who used to practice martial arts like him for a lifetime is strong and will not get sick on weekdays. But if he falls down, he will be heavier than anything else! He is sick, a small and a half is old and debilitated, and it is not a big deal to relapse from the old wounds in his early years. The main reason for more than half is heart disease!

The mother told Du Wei that since returning to the Luolin Plain, the old Raymond has seen that the territory of the former family has been handed over to the empire. The original Luolin flag hanging in various places has become the flag of the thorny flower king, and those who used to face themselves The people of the Luolin family, who are extremely supportive, have reported a complicated silence to Raymond’s return!

This silence has even hit Raymond! He deeply felt that he was a historical sinner of the Rollin family! The splendid family was ruined in his own hands. When he came back, he was already prepared to be cursed and hated by the people of Luolin. Even if someone throws rotten eggs or rotten tomatoes against him, he will be better in his heart.

There is no snoring. The people on the plains have heard of the former patriarchs, but everyone has surprisingly kept silent... This is a kind of silence full of complex meanings, full of pain, indignation, despair and many other emotions.

But the kind Luolin people did not point their finger at their old patriarch. Even the old Raymond is even more worried that the Lolin people of some faithful families around the castle are even in accordance with the rules of the past. Willing to hand over taxes to the family!

Although local government officials have been replaced by empire, but these stubborn Luolin people, thousands of people drove to the castle in a carriage, demanding that their taxes be directly handed over to the castle to express the family of the Luolin. loyalty.

It was these things that finally killed the old Raymond! He was embarrassed in his heart, and heard that on a certain night, suddenly he vomited blood. After that, I can't afford it!

When Du Weigang came here, he still had an optimistic attitude against his father's illness. He believed that his father's body was very good, and that he was mentally ill. With the help of the pardons that I bring, the hope of reviving the family should allow the father to open up, then the body will naturally recover slowly.

But it is a month down. In Du Weidi’s heart, I lost hope little by little!

The old Raymond's disease has not improved a half point, but it has been a lot heavier! Although he was lying on the bed before, he could get up every day to take a walk in the castle garden. However, with the arrival of the good news of the family, his illness was heavy one day, and later, even the bed could not come down!

In addition to meeting the messenger of the South American United Kingdom, the old Raymond was to help his son. Reluctantly supporting the sick body, came out once, in the days that followed, he was lying in bed all the time every day, even more and more time slumbering every day, less and less waking time...

Several of the best doctors have been invited to the family. I used a lot of drugs, but I didn't see any effect.

Du Wei is a magician and an excellent magic pharmacist. There is also a deep knowledge of various medicines. He personally checked his father and tried to think a lot. However, those magical magic drugs used in the past were used on the father's body, but the effect was extremely weak.

Although he didn't say anything, he knew in his heart... No matter from any angle, the vitality of his father was flying fast and could not be recovered.

The symptoms of old Raymond's vomiting blood also became serious, and he always felt pain in his heart and chest, which made him unable to sleep. The original tough guy was tortured to be thin and thin.

Du Wei really couldn't bear it in his heart. Finally, he finally made up his mind and used some "ice berries" for his father.

This kind of ecstasy, a little bit of food, can play an anesthetic and analgesic effect.

What annoyed Du Wei is that any drug has lost its effect on the old Raymond, but this ice berry still has effect...just the pure analgesic anesthetic can only alleviate the pain of his father. The disease has no effect at all.

In the days that followed, Du Wei had finished all the things, but did not leave as planned. He stayed at home and began to guard the father's bed all day long. Although the mother secretly sheds tears every day, Gabriel is still as confused as his age, and this time, Du Wei shows the temperament of the pillars of the home, he calmly comforts the sad mother, taking care of the panicked brother...

What no one knows is that the young duke, sitting in front of his father's bed every night, locked his brows for a long time. He didn't sleep for a minute, and even did not even meditate. All his time, he was kept by his father, even when the old Raymond was asleep, he stared at his father with a deep affectionate look.

Maybe... take a look, just take a look.

In order to save his father, Du Wei even took out the "Youth is not old spring", hoping to use this legend to cure any wounded magic spring water to save his father's life... But as a result, he was once again disappointed.

Obviously, my father’s illness and injury have nothing to do with it, but an old man who has finally exhausted his vitality!

Du Wei has never been so depressed. All along, he has done everything smoothly, almost without any disadvantage. Can be in the face of a dying father. None of his methods worked. Although he is a magician, he can "make a miracle", but after all, he is not a god! He is a man! !

He also used to hide in the study and read through all the books he could find. He wanted to find out any way to rejuvenate his life. But where is this method?

Old Raymond seems to understand that his body is hopeless, as long as he wakes up. He was forced to endure the pain, his face still with a stubborn smile, and his son talking in front of the bed.

At the beginning, the old Raymond would ask Du Wei some military and political affairs in the family, and then he would use his experience to give his son some valuable advice. But as his illness is heavy, the old Raymond seems to be no longer concerned about family matters.

His concern was all placed on Du Wei. The content of the father and son chat, no longer involved in any official business, the old Raymond will ask Du Wei to talk about his things in the northwest, those interesting things, such as building a city in three months. A bumper harvest of food. Those dangerous things, such as the northwestern army trapped Loulan, the **** battle of Giliate, etc... And, the old Raymond is purely like a father. Listening to the brilliant achievements of his son outside, he just listened quietly, did not express his own opinions, and when he heard the wonderful places, his face would overflow with a proud smile.

In order to let his father open his mind, Du Wei tried to describe these things as wonderful as possible. After talking about the things in the northwest, I talked about the experiences I had been exiled to the Luolin Plains, such as making football and making a hot air balloon. Then the wonderful adventures in the frozen forest...etc.

Of course, in order not to worry his father, Du Wei concealed everything about the dragons, Hussein, the sinners, and Semel.

Finally, in the middle of the second month of Du Wei’s return to the Luolin Plain...

On this day, Du Wei took a little iced berry to his father... Although he was still smiling on his face. Comforting my father's mother and younger brother. But the heart has been sinking.

He has been responsible for his father's medication, and he is very clear: these days. My father's demand for ice berry is getting bigger and bigger, and the ice berry is also lost to the father's body. In the past, as long as he was a little smaller, his father could be relieved of suffering. But now, his father’s medication has increased several times, but his illness is still not relieved.

This afternoon, the old Raymond refused to eat ice berry, he said he hopes to be awake: "Eating this thing will make me unable to concentrate. I want to hear you, son, I don't want to miss every sentence."

Du Wei felt that there was a heat flow in his eyes. He quickly turned around and wiped it off, then silently took a glass of water and helped his father drink two.

"So, father, what do you want to hear today?" Despite the pain in his heart, Du Wei still had a smile on his face: "It's better for me to talk about Nanyang. I have to blackmail those Nanyang people very badly."

The old Raymond shook his head weakly: "Nanyang... I have been in Nanyang for many years, Nanyang, I don't want to hear it."

He lifted his skinny hand and gently touched his son's face, then slowly said: "Actually, I should have a lot of words to tell you. Maybe I should care for you, take care of your mother, take care of your brother. ...but I know that you are a sensible child. I don’t have to say these words, you will do it well..."

Du Wei was silent for a while, and his heart trembled, then smiled: "Father, when you are in good health, you go with me to the northwest. We have to deal with the Northwest Army, plus the private family. Army, we now have 100,000 troops. You are the best commander!"

Old Raymond did not answer this sentence. He looked at his son, and his gaze was full of brilliance.

"Son, go, take my sword." Old Raymond raised this weird request.

Du Wei did not hesitate, he immediately turned and took the hanging sword from the wall. This is the old Raymond's sabre. This sword accompanied the old Raymond through most of his Hummer's body, from the northwest to the South Sea!

Although he was too weak to hold the sword, the old Raymond held the sword in his arms. His trembling fingers gently stroked the sword. "Do you know? I first officially led the troops on the battlefield. Twenty years ago, in the northwest! And this sword. It was from that time to follow me."

Du Wei immediately said: "Believe me, father, next time the Northwest War, you will take this sword with the army to go out! Lu Gao that guy is definitely not your opponent!"

Old Raymond smiled, he laughed very complicated, then put down his hand and stared at Du Wei: "Son. I know, don't need me... you can do it yourself! You are my best son, It’s also the best talent of the Rollin family, and I know that no matter what, you can do a great job...”

Du Wei finally couldn't stand it, and his eyes shed tears: "Father..."

"Cry what." The old Raymond's eyes suddenly burst into a glimpse of the fine mans, at this moment. The glory of the once-famous imperial empire returned to him: "I have lived for so many years, and my glory has passed. Even if I die, it is already worth it. We are the people of Luolin's family, Wu Xun's family. Death, for us. For the Luolin family, there is nothing terrible."

Then, the old Raymond took a deep breath... although his voice was weak. But the kindness and decisiveness in the tone is still like a general: "Son, go, call your mother and brother, I have something to say!"

Du Wei looked at his father deeply, and he suddenly guessed what he was...

Is it time to arrive!

A few minutes later, the countess and Gabriel stood by Raymond's bed. To everyone's surprise, the old Raymond seemed to be full of vitality. He even had a lot of spirits. He didn't need people to help him. He himself tried to sit up and lean on the bed. Then, the family patriarch. Watching his wife and son quietly.

"Gabri. Come over." He looked up and took a move to the younger son. Gabri, who has already had tears in his face. Going to the father's side, the old Raymond gently touched the head of the younger son, softly said: "I know, these days, I only let Du Wei accompany me, but I will not let you stay in my room...唉My son, not that I don't love you. I love you very much. But, do you know? I just want to compensate your brother. From his small age, I was not good to him. I just want to be at the end. In the time, I will compensate him more and stay some time with him. I believe that your smart child can understand my pains."

"I... I understand..." Gabriel cried out, but bit his lip biting hard.

Then, the old Raymond turned his head to his wife. There is deep tenderness in his eyes: "Alice... My dear Alice... You are the love of my life. The happiest thing in my life is that you are with me. But I am sorry, Dear, in the future, our children will be entrusted to you."

The countess, who has always been very weak, seems to have become strong at the moment. She has a charming smile on her face and looks at her husband tenderly... but she is miraculous and has no tears. Then she slowly Going over, gently pulling my husband's hands, exhausted the strength of the whole body, only said a very short sentence: "I... understand!"

The couple’s husband and wife have been screaming for years, and the countess expressed her feelings with only her eyes.

"My life is very exciting. I have been glorified, brilliant, successful, and failed. I can have such a life. I am very satisfied." Old Raymond sighed and coughed again. There was a kind of expression on the face, slowly saying: "And I thought I would die with sin, but fortunately, I have a good son who helped me redeem my sin, saved my family, let me Even if you die, it’s a lot easier. Du Wei, come over.”

The empire's famous star finally called his eldest son.

The father and the son looked at each other for a long time. The eyes of the two men were intertwined for a long time. The old Raymond spoke. The voice of the general had some whimpers at this moment.

"In my life, the most sorry person is you, my son. I want to compensate you, but my time, I am allowed to do so much... Unfortunately, I will continue to be sorry for you. My son. Because of the burden of the family, I can’t afford it. I gave this burden to you, my young son... I think it’s really embarrassing to you. But I know, you will do it. Very good, right?"

Du Wei looked at his father's eyes, and then he took a deep breath: "With me Du Wei in a day, the glory of the family will not die! Father, this is me, Du Wei Luo Lin, a promise to you!"

Raymond was relieved. He used his trembling hand to hand over the long sword in his arms and put it in Du Wei's hand.

With the surrender of this sword, the color of life in the eyes of the old Raymond, flying fast, he seems to be unable to support, and gently lay down.

"Du Wei... my son... I am the most in my life, I am sorry... Yes, it is you. And I am the most... the most regrettable thing... Yes... Yes..."

Having said that, his voice gradually weakened, and Du Wei quickly took two steps to put his ear on his father's mouth.

The once-in-a-century general, he finally said the biggest regret in his life.

It was not a mistake in the coup, nor was it because of his sin that the family was almost ruined.

The last sentence he said, the biggest regret of his life is:

"...Yes, when you were born, I was in the ocean, I was... my father, I couldn’t look at you, my first son... born!"

Then he closed his eyes... forever.

The famous general in the history of the Augustine dynasty, he finally finished his life of hard work. When he was dying, he was lying in bed, and his dear family said goodbye. It can be said that for a general, it should be an extremely happy ending.

Du Wei’s arms, holding his father’s sword, only felt heavy. The younger brother Gabriel was crying and crying, but Du Wei seemed to feel that his heart was empty, and there was no desire to shed tears.

"I am sending you to Luolin's hometown, I hope you are good!"

"Yes, the one who killed you is what I sent."

"You are a magician, and even a Luolin family!!"

"He is no longer my Luolin family!"

"Son, you are stronger than me..."

"I just want to hug you, my son..."

"The most regrettable thing is that I can't watch you born."

"I know... you will definitely do well."

Du Wei was holding the long sword in his arms, his fingers had been too hard, and the knuckles were white.

Finally, he pulled his brother hard and gently grabbed his shoulder and gritted his teeth: "Okay, don't cry!"

At this time, the beautiful countess, but slowly walked to the bed, she leaned down, and then kissed her husband's forehead and kissed him deeply. Then she even reached out and sorted the quilt that covered the old Raymond, making the dead Raymond look as if she was sleeping peacefully.

The things that do these movements, the countess's movements, are exceptionally soft.

Later, the mother turned and looked at her two sons, her beautiful eyes, and finally fell on Du Wei.

"Du Wei..." The mother whispered to him: "Now, you are the only adult man in your family!"

Du Wei raised her face and looked at her mother.

The mother looked very embarrassed, and she was crying silently: "Your father once said... He wants you to be the patriarch of the Rollin family."
