Chapter 132 [Prince's Amazing Request! 】

Because of the consistent reclusive life in the past few years.  Du Wei is not familiar with the other rich and noble children in the imperial capital. Although he came from a wealthy family, because of his "fame" since he was a child, he was almost always locked up at home without seeing outsiders. This phenomenon is very rare in the aristocratic circle. Even the daughters of those wealthy families will have one or two close friends in their boudoirs.

As for Du Wei, he never participated in any gatherings of noble children, nor did he mix in that circle.  Du Wei never asks about the power struggles in the upper circles of the nobility, or intrigues, which families are allies and which families are political enemies, and naturally no one will tell this idiot young master who lives deep at home. So I don't recognize the young prince in front of me at all, and even his name seems strange.

However, His Royal Highness seems to be too young? many words

The current imperial emperor, His Majesty Augustine VI, is a guy who has been a little more accomplished in recent generations of the empire. Although this old man is considered by many ministers as a typical "great success" guy behind his back.  But I have to say, compared to those stupid kings in history, he is not bad.

However, the age of His Majesty Augustine VI is probably over seventy this year? Quite Zi, an overjoyed old man, has become more and more irritable in recent years, and his behavior has become more and more absurd. As he got older, he also gradually showed some faintness. It's a pity that as long as he doesn't die for a day, the throne of the throne still belongs to this violent old man in his seventies.

According to this age... the guy in front of him was at most in his early twenties. Is that the emperor's son in his seventies?

I have to say that after all, Du Wei lived a very closed life when he was a child. Du Wei, who wanted to get rid of those troublesome power circles since he was a child, only wanted to live a free rice insect life, and he lacked understanding of the power circles in the imperial capital.

This Chen-Augustine is the youngest son of the current Emperor Augustine VI. The old emperor is now seventy-five years old, and he has lived a glorious life under his rule. The empire has made many expeditions to Southeast Asia, and has also opened up countless maritime territories-although the later expeditions have degenerated into a flashy and grandiose show of force. Often expeditions are harvested, and even the military expenses spent cannot be recovered, but the triumphal ceremony is more grand every time.

The eldest son of His Majesty the Emperor, the fifty-two-year-old eldest prince was originally designated as the crown prince. After that, His Majesty the Emperor gave birth to nine more daughters in one breath. It made Augustine VI, who was full of hope to have another son, furious, and even personally gifted several of his concubines to death—women who killed themselves because they could not give birth to a son.  Such an emperor is unique in the history of the Roland Empire.  And when he was in his fifties, the old emperor, who was seeking a son, was finally favored by the gods again and gave birth to the "Chen" prince. The old emperor who got a son again when he was old, and finally got his wish, treated his youngest son for more than 20 years.  Almost spoiled to the extreme!

Even, the children of the royal family, all men, have learned the martial arts fighting qi passed down from the Augustine family since childhood. Prince Chen has no intention of learning martial arts, but is extremely interested in magic—this kind of behavior that deviates from tradition has been approved by the old emperor.  He even asked a great magician in the court to personally teach this prince Chen!

Even legends. A few years ago, at the old emperor's 70th birthday dinner, the old emperor once expressed his intention to return to the crown prince, but was opposed by many ministers at the time, so he reluctantly suppressed it...

Of course, Du Wei still doesn't know these things right now.  Du Wei, who has been free from these things since he was a child, doesn't even know the origin of the Prince Chen in front of him.

However, Du Wei reacted quickly, after listening to the other party's self-introduction.  Immediately bowed his body. A standard aristocratic etiquette. However, the dazzlingly handsome prince smiled kindly, and stretched out his hand to support Du Wei.  Smiling: "You don't need to be so polite, Your Excellency Du Wei...don't forget, you are a bachelor of magic.   Magicians don't need to salute nobles, even the royal family."

Seeing a prince inside the Magic Union had to make Du Wei a little puzzled.  The relationship between the royal family and the magic union is not very good.  Du Wei at least knows something about this. In the empire, the orthodox ruling group represented by the royal family, the religious group represented by the temple, and the power of magicians represented by the magic union have always been three forces that rarely communicate with each other. …

Seemingly unaware of Du Wei's doubts, the Prince Chen smiled easily, even gently pulled Radu Wei, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency Du Wei, I have been curious about you for a long time.   Well, originally I just listened to Said that Gabriel of the Rowling family is a genius.   But recently, your name has often been mentioned in my ears.   It is really an honor to meet you here today.   I don’t know if I am honored May I invite you, a sorcerer, to dinner?"

Um?

Du Wei carefully looked at the strange prince.

"Oh, please forgive my presumptuous invitation.  " Prince Chen still smiled so gently. In fact, it is a bit presumptuous to propose this kind of invitation between nobles in person. In the aristocratic circle, let alone an invitation to dinner, even If you invite the other party to have an afternoon tea together, you have to send out the invitation at least one day in advance, but Prince Chen's demeanor is indeed impeccable, even when he apologizes, the smile on his face seems to make people feel like a spring breeze: "I just loved you since childhood. I am very interested in the field of magic, but you, a nobleman in the imperial capital, have never produced a magician, and you are still a young and talented magician like you. ”

This kind of invitation from His Royal Highness is not easy to refuse. Du Wei thought for a while, and smiled: "It's a great honor. "

※#8226;

When Du Wei and Prince Chen walked out of the magic guild side by side, the face of the Alpha bodyguard who was waiting outside was in that moment.  Immediately becomes extremely ugly! However, the ugly face of the head of the guard just disappeared in a flash, and then he came up to greet him, and first bowed to Prince Chen and made a standard warrior salute.

"Oh, Your Excellency Alpha Warrior. " Prince Chen seemed a little surprised: "I actually saw you here. Could it be that you accompanied Du Wei here in person? It's rare to see you going out recently. "

After a pause, Prince Chen smiled lightly and said, "I'm about to chat with Du Wei about something, and I would like to trouble you to go back and inform the Earl. "

Alpha couldn't say anything.  just nodding silently.

Du Wei was on the sidelines, although he knew nothing about the situation in the imperial capital. But at this moment, seeing the unnatural flash across the face of Alpha's bodyguard, he immediately guessed something: It seems that Alpha's bodyguard is very afraid of this Prince Chen?

Almost without a sound, an extremely ornately decorated carriage slowly approached them. The outside of the carriage shed of this carriage is actually inlaid with a thin layer of pure gold, which looks golden under the sun. The wheels and hubs of the carriage, in Du Wei's opinion, are all made of the best fine steel. And around the carport, there are dead roots carved with gorgeous thorn flower vines, and several blue gemstones are inlaid on them.

From Du Wei's point of view, the horses pulling the cart are all top-grade horses. Such horses are no worse than the top-notch war horses in Luo Lin's family, but they are used by Prince Chen to pull the cart... ...what a waste.

What surprised Du Wei the most was that.  On the side of this carriage, there are actually some finely polished magic crystals, and a circle of miniature wind magic circles are arranged!

This magic circle cleverly used the wind force to reduce the weight of the carriage, so that the carriage could greatly reduce the degree of bumps and increase the speed when driving.

at the same time. This carriage is also the most popular style of open carriage in the imperial capital recently.

The cost of this carriage alone may be able to buy all of Du Wei's current businesses in Luolin Plain!

luxury! Not ordinary luxury!

Of course, Du Wei didn't know that the exquisite carvings on the carriage were all written by a famous artist in the imperial capital. Those flashy carvings alone were worth tens of thousands of gold coins!

Quietly, quietly, I don't know when. It is just around the place where Du Wei and Prince Chen are standing.  Four emaciated people appeared silently. The robes worn by these four people are obviously magicians. But their robes are different from any mage robes in the magic guild. The bright red mage robes are as red as the juice of rose flowers, and the tall pointed hats on the heads have the totem of thorn flowers.

Court magician?

Du Wei immediately thought of the legend that a small number of animals raised in the palace began in the Aragon era, passed down from generation to generation internally, and were only loyal to the royal court magician team. These four guys are obviously court magicians! …

It's just that the eyes of these four guys are very indifferent. When the sharp eyes glanced casually, even Du Wei couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart! In particular, when the eyes of these four guys glanced at the magicians in the magic union in the distance around them, they all carried an indescribable rebellion and disdain.

"Your Highness, please get into the carriage. "

A thick voice came from a driver sitting in front of the carriage. It was only then that Du Wei realized that this coachman might not be a simple character either! This guy is tall and thin, dressed in gray cotton clothes, but he looks like a court servant, with deep and steady gazes in his eyes, although there are several court magicians and strong warriors like Alpha around, he His demeanor is still indifferent and calm, judging from the outline of his strong arms hidden under the thin clothes, which seem to be somewhat incongruous with the thin body, he is probably a master in the court!

Sure enough, when Alpha saw the coachman, he suddenly smiled wryly: "Your Excellency Chick, when did you become a coachman?"

This coachman named Chike is obviously an old acquaintance of Alpha's head of guards. He gave Alpha a cold look, and said indifferently: "I made a mistake, and His Highness punished me by serving as a coachman for a month.   But you, Alpha Your Excellency, it's been a long time. It seems that two years have passed since the competition of the year before last? A lot of words"

The eyes of the two intersected, and immediately it seemed as if a series of sparks flashed in the air!

It seems that the two may still have a little grudge.

Du Wei thought to himself.

The atmosphere seemed to freeze for a while, but Prince Chen immediately smiled appropriately: "Okay. It's getting late, Your Excellency Du Wei, please get in the carriage. "

The groom named Chick then looked away, lowered his head, and stopped talking.

Du Wei frowned secretly, and after Prince Chen got into the carriage, the carriage drove slowly.  Du Wei looked back at Alpha standing there, but seemed to see a flash of light in Alpha's eyes!

※#8226;

Earl's Court.

Count Raymond's study.

"His Royal Highness Chen really appeared in the Magic Union? Did he take Du Wei away?" The earl frowned. His eyes were full of haze.

"Yes. " Alpha nodded: "I suspect that this may not be a chance encounter. Also... I saw that Chick actually acted as the groom of His Royal Highness Chen. "

"Chick? Groom?" The Earl smiled, "It's that court warrior Chick who fought against you in the competition two years ago? Hmph... It seems that the situation is not good.   Chen Your Highness has been dormant for many years, are you going to show your fangs now?"

Alpha shook his head: "My lord, I'm worried about one thing... Chick is a court warrior, and belongs to the inner court! The inner court is a mysterious force in the royal family! Now it seems that Chick actually served as Prince Chen's My subordinates... I'm worried, I'm afraid His Majesty is confused.   He actually handed over the inner court to Prince Chen! Moreover, what is even more worrying is that Chick is a very good warrior in the inner court, but he seems to be right Prince Chen is very obedient, I'm afraid, Prince Chen has successfully controlled the power of the inner court! This matter..."

"Of course this matter is not good for us." The Earl sighed, he seemed to have aged a few years in an instant, and shook his head with a wry smile: "Prince Chen's intelligence and intelligence are far better than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince... He has been with the court since he was a child. Those mysterious fellows of the magician have a good relationship.   Now it seems that His Majesty not only handed over the court magician team to him, but even the inner court... The situation is not good for His Royal Highness.   Hmm... Let's think about it , His Highness Chen appeared in the Magic Union... Hmph, did he also go there for that matter? Yago Doug, an old fox, what's his idea? Show his kindness to His Royal Highness in a while. "

"I think this matter may not be good for us." Alpha shook his head: "The key is...His Highness Chen took Master Du Wei away...My Lord Earl, if His Highness the Crown Prince heard the news, what would he think? Master Wei is your son, and before he returned to the imperial capital, he got involved with the Magic Union.  Now...and making friends with His Highness Chen...I am worried that this will put you in a bit of an awkward situation. "

Earl Raymond stood up, he straightened his waist suddenly, and his stalwart figure seemed to glow with momentum again, as if at such a moment. This is a somewhat old imperial military general. It reveals the heroic spirit of commanding the fleet and galloping the ocean! …

"Hmph! Even if His Highness the Crown Prince has any ideas, so what! Although he has a lot of chips in his hand now.   But there are few who can play the final key role! If there is no support from our Luo Lin family, what will he do to fight with Chen?" Fighting with the prince? Here in the military, the only one who is willing to stand on his side now is mine.   Others are watching.   Without me, Lei Meng, he can’t even mobilize a single soldier when he leaves the imperial capital!"

Alpha nodded, with a relieved expression on his face, but then, the loyal chief guard still whispered: "I'm not worried about the Crown Prince... the most troublesome thing now is His Majesty's intentions! His Majesty has been silent recently, but seems to be letting his two sons do things... And, my lord, you have to be careful, your Majesty may do something to you! After all... Historically, every Emperor His Majesty died before passing on the throne. , will first suppress a group of important military ministers to pave the way for a stable situation for his successor! Now it seems that His Majesty may target us. ”

Earl Raymond put his hands on the table, and after hearing Alpha's words, he was silent. After a long time, he smiled lightly: "Suppression is suppressed. This is the practice of the past. As long as we survive this test, the crown prince will succeed in the future. He has to rely on our Luo Lin family! Hmph...Besides, if His Majesty really wants to take the Luo Lin family into action, he should weigh it carefully!"

As he said that, he suddenly slapped the table, a faint golden dou qi flashed, and there was a crisp crack, and the thick desk suddenly split into two halves!

※#8226;

The carriage gradually drove towards the outside of the imperial capital. When they left the gate of the imperial capital just now, the city guards saw Prince Chen's carriage from a distance, and immediately cleared the road to let it pass.

On the carriage, faced with Du Wei's doubts, Prince Chen smiled lightly and said, "What fun is there in the imperial capital? Hmph, people from the military are watching, people from my elder brother are watching, and my father is watching... ...Where is there anything interesting? Your Excellency Du Wei, I will take you to an interesting place outside the city, I think you will like it there. ”

In line with the policy of talking less and making fewer mistakes, Du Wei just nodded and didn't answer.

"That's right." Prince Chen suddenly seemed to think of something, looked at Du Wei and said with a smile: "I heard that you made something that can fly on the Luolin Plain... that thing is called a hot air balloon. A lot of words" said, the Prince Chen stared at Du Wei meaningfully for a while, then said softly, "That's a good thing! If one or two thousand elites are transported to the imperial capital, they will probably be unnoticed. No matter how tight the defense of the city guards is, they will never be able to defend against the sky. ”

Du Wei was shocked!

Quietly transporting troops into the imperial capital? This is a heartbreaking statement! Why is this prince squeezing himself with such cruel words?

Du Wei thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, those are just gadgets, and I only have a dozen or so hot air balloons of that kind, and it is very troublesome to manufacture, and the delivery capacity is very limited.  Usually deliver a little That’s all for cargo.  If you want to transport troops, the weight of soldiers plus armor and weapons, let alone one or two thousand, is already the limit.  You’re kidding. ”

"oh……"

Prince Chen nodded as if casually, then turned his head and looked at the scenery on both sides of the road.

The imperial capital is located in the central plain of the Roland Continent, and it is also close to the Lancang Grand Canal. It is approaching evening at this moment. Looking at the plains, villages, and farms on both sides of the wide road, it is approaching summer at this moment, and the trees in the wild have already been dyed with thick thick green...

Suddenly, Prince Chen turned his head and looked at Du Wei carefully:

"What if... I want you to help me transport things? For example... transport people?"

Du Wei was shocked...
