Chapter 164 [Gandalf's Promised Date](2/2)
The father and son hugged each other as a farewell.
Du Wei saw his father out and got into the carriage, then waved to his mother in the carriage. Looking at his tearful mother, Du Wei smiled and said: "Mom, I will go to Luolin Plain to visit you in a few days.
.”
Seeing Gabri sitting there glumly again, Du Wei felt moved, walked over, and said with a smile: "Brother, I left a lot of interesting things in my hometown castle. I built a manor behind the castle.
, the 'Forgiveness of the Goddess of Dawn' that I made for my mother's birthday last time, and the flying hot air balloon, all the information is left there. After you go back, you can take a look if you are interested.
"
After a few more words of comfort, the young Gabri's face relaxed. He glanced at Du Wei and said firmly: "Brother, when I grow up, I will come to you!"
On this day, the once-famous Luo Lin family completely left the imperial capital. A long motorcade, a dozen carriages, and hundreds of servants and guards protected the three Count Raymond and headed for their hometown in Luo Lin Plain.
However, what surprised Duwei was that the loyal captain of the guard, Alpha, did not leave with Count Raymond.
"Your Majesty the Earl has an order." Alpha looked at the young master in front of him: "From today on, I am no longer a member of the Luo Lin family. I will be loyal to you, Lord Duke Rudolf."
After sending away his parents and younger brother, Du Wei had no time to feel sad.
He still has many things to deal with. A team must be established immediately in the Xindi Territory.
As the decree was issued, all the officials in the province of Desa had to leave. Du Wei had to organize a group of trusted people to take over the government affairs of the entire province!
No matter how barren or desolate it is, it is a province after all! Local officials, officials, even just a small clerk... all of these require large numbers of manpower to fill!
But what does Du Wei have in his hands?
He does have a few of the top strong men in the mainland. But officials...
After thinking about it again and again, we can't let those pirates become the parent officials of a province in the northwest, right?
Du Wei felt cold sweat when he thought about a group of pirates becoming local officials in the fish and meat village.
Missing people!
Serious shortage of people!
According to convention, the handover of government affairs in such a sealed territory usually takes about three months. But in three months, where can Du Wei find a group of useful officials?
He really wanted to call in the laid-off Luo Lin family from the original Luo Lin Plain, but later found out that he couldn't! Because the Luo Lin family was a convicted family, and together with them the original political officials of the Luo Lin family territory
All of them have been laid off, and all of them have been demoted to civilian status and will never be hired!
He can use some tricks to preserve his father's name, and he can make a fuss about Prince Chen's favor for him, but if he dares to bring those officials from the Luo Lin family to the northwest again... wouldn't he be blatantly in the northwest?
Copying a Luolin Plain? No matter how much Prince Chen looked at him differently, he would never allow it.
After thinking about it, Du Wei suddenly saw the old housekeeper and former groom, Mr. Mader, who was also in a daze next to him.
"Uh... Mad." Du Wei blinked, looked at the loyal old groom, and said with a smile: "It seems that you, the chairman of the Football Association, can't continue to work. Luolin Plain is no longer ours...
But, are you interested in becoming governor of a province again?"
Governor?
Old Marder was so frightened that he almost softened on the spot. He quickly came up and hugged Du Wei's leg. He cried deeply and affectionately: "You must not, young master... Look at me, I don't look like I can be a governor."
ah!"
Du Wei rubbed his temples vigorously: "Oh, where can I find someone? Three months...three months!"
Helping old Mader up, Du Wei looked at the sky and suddenly thought of something: "Mader, what's the date today?"
"June 15th." Seeing that the young master no longer mentioned the governor's affairs, Mader breathed a sigh of relief.
Old Mader is an honest man, he is as simple as a farmer: he is very self-aware, and he understands that he is definitely not destined to be the governor of a province!
If you don't have that kind of luck, you will get retribution if you insist on sitting in that position!
June 15th?
Du Wei's eyes lit up, and he remembered a big thing in his heart, and immediately shouted: "Mader, prepare a horse for me! I want to go out alone!"
After a pause, he asked again: "Is there a Pegasus town northwest of the imperial capital? There is also a place called Prancing Horse Stream?"
Before the sun set, Du Wei rode alone. Riding Juechen, he left the city from the west gate of the imperial capital and headed towards the northwest Acropolis.
Some of the people guarding the city gate recognized the young duke who had become very popular recently. Seeing the anxious look on his face, how could they dare to stop him? He stepped out of the way from a distance.
In his arms was the green magic prop left by old Gandolf. According to Gandolf's suicide note, as long as the moon is full tonight, the magic fireworks are lit in the Prancing Horse Stream... and you can see it.
That person Gandolf asked him to find can be his magic teacher!
The Pegasus Town is not difficult to find. It's just that it took a lot of effort for Du Wei to find the "Prancing Horse Stream". He started asking the locals. They all said they had never heard of this name. Finally,
Du Wei got the news from an old coachman in a horse and carriage shop:
"Prancing Horse Stream? You are talking about the hillside outside the town, right? That place was called Leaping Horse Stream in those days, because it is said that there was a group of magical horses in ancient times that jumped between two peaks. But now,
Few people remember that name. The place is in the northwest of the town. It is easy to find. There are two hillsides with a ditch in the middle! But few people know the legend now. Later, because of the appearance of the two hillsides,
People here gave them a new name."
"Oh, what is that place called now?"
"Brokeback Mountain."
Du Wei: "...my day."
After riding out of the town and heading northwest, Du Wei finally arrived at "Brokeback Mountain" just as the sun was setting.
Watching the night fall, Duwei rode his horse into a forest, and then walked into a ravine between two hillsides. Obviously, few people came to this ravine on weekdays. There was a gravel road in the ravine, and the horses had already walked a lot.
It's difficult.
Du Wei simply abandoned his horse and entered on foot.
From a distance, after walking through the ravine, I finally found an open space under the Prancing Horse Stream that Gandolf wrote in his suicide note.
But when Du Wei looked from afar, he found that as night fell, there was a faint fire in the open space, and a thin figure sitting next to the fire with his knees in his arms, looking very lonely.
The flames were very weak, and the man had his back to Du Wei, curled up into a ball, as if he was still shivering. Du Wei came closer and faintly heard a faint sigh.
