Just such a seed, how much distance can a cultivator save? How many years of hard work can be saved?
Other people who practice asceticism face a towering mountain and work hard to climb it, but when you have a seed, it is as if a shortcut to the sky is automatically provided in front of you... No, this is not a shortcut, it is simply an elevator!
This kind of shock took Du Wei a long time to calm down from his excitement.
At this rate, he will soon be able to cross the threshold of "advanced". Grinding the bucket of spiritual consciousness space bigger and bigger, and at the same time, as long as he does not slow down the meditation practice of his own magic power through star magic, then his level of magic power will increase.
Soon you will be among the top ranks in mainland China!
Whether it's Gandolf or Bai Hechou. These strong men, in terms of pure "quantity" of their magic power, may not actually be much stronger than ordinary eighth- or ninth-level magicians. The key lies in the understanding of the rules of power. This
At this point, Du Wei has roughly understood. As long as he relies on this seed, he can quickly complete the process of accumulating magic power. Then...
The seeds here are faintly rotating and growing on their own, and they are vaguely conforming to some kind of "rules", which is equivalent to providing Du Wei with a ready-made template. As long as he works hard to understand the rules in this seed, then, understanding the Holy Spirit
It is not too long ago to reach the next level of power.
Du Wei finally calmed down little by little from the excitement. But suddenly a strange idea came to Du Wei's mind...
Oh shit!
He lightly slapped himself in the face and laughed at himself: "You're worthless! In your last life, you were still the best player in the world. In this life, you've just been promoted to the eighth level. What's there to be happy about?"
I thought so, but no matter how strong I was in my previous life, it was still a matter of my previous life. Driven by the happy mood in Du Wei's heart, he finished meditating in less than a moment. After recovering, he lay down for a while and regained his strength.
, seeing that it was getting late, I quickly freshened up, changed my clothes, and took a car to the Prime Minister's Mansion in the imperial capital to attend the banquet.
Robschael has been prime minister for twenty years. Naturally, he has a deep foundation and a large family background. Although his prime minister's residence is not luxurious, it is majestic and solemn, and the furnishings inside are naturally either rich or expensive.
But it pays more attention to the accumulation of tradition.
Tonight's banquet, only Duwei, Camisillo, and the Chancellor of Finance were invited. Old Prime Minister Robschel was dressed in plain robes and simple clothes. He didn't put on any airs and just greeted them with a smile.
He also had another move that made Du Wei very fond of him. This old man had been an official for many years, but he didn't pretend to be coquettish or reserved. He didn't deliberately put on airs like other big guys. At the banquet, the wine was drunk until the glass was dry.
Other entertainment and entertainment programs are also missing.
In a word: This old man is quite relaxed.
Finally, a group of young and beautiful girls were even presented to perform the dance. The dances were outstanding, and it looked like they had been trained rigorously by the family for many years. The old man did not pretend to be serious: obviously he knew how to put on airs when it was time to put on airs, and when it was time to put on airs.
When you are easy-going, be easy-going to the end.
After enjoying the dance, a group of young and beautiful dancers, three to one, gathered around the three distinguished guests. It was obvious that Du Wei and Camisillo had experienced this kind of romance for a long time.
The old finance minister seems to be a little reserved and unable to let go.
As for old Robschel, he seems to be a man of this kind. Judging from his enigmatic appearance above the palace, he is now letting go. There are also two beautiful little concubines sitting next to him.
Women, it’s just that both women are dressed like the Nanyang girls who are the favorite among the aristocratic circles in the imperial capital. The tight and close-fitting gowns reveal the fair but slender and healthy thighs. There is also the small waist. But
However, his face was covered by a fine gauze.
At this time, the old prime minister used the word "approachable" to the fullest. He also made some romantic jokes with Du Wei and other two juniors. As for the two women around him, they cuddled up to him. One of them,
He peeled the grapes with his slender and delicate fingers, and he smiled happily, opened his mouth and took a bite.
This style of behavior made both Du Wei and Camisillo very fond of the old man. They suddenly felt that they were much closer.
At the banquet, the few people did not talk about official business, but just talked about the romance and the romantic anecdotes in the aristocratic circle for a whole night. And Du Wei just realized a little bit of the seeds of power left by Bai Hechou today. Although he was drinking wine at the moment, the beauty
In my heart, half of my mind couldn't help but ponder about the seed of power. It seemed that I was a little absent-minded.
However, when it was approaching midnight, the old prime minister was old and mentally weak after all. Du Wei saw this and stood up to leave. As soon as he left, Camisillo and the finance minister also stood up.
Before leaving, Du Wei stopped his smile and bowed deeply to the old prime minister: "Your Excellency, I have a private request."
A glimmer of light immediately appeared in the old prime minister's narrowed eyes: "Please speak, Grand Duke!"
"The situation of the Northern Storm Legion is urgent. Please ask the Prime Minister to handle the reinforcements as soon as possible after taking charge of the military headquarters. I know that according to the normal speed, after the troops are mobilized, there will still be food, grass and weapons. I am afraid that it will not be available for a month.
Okay. But..." Du Wei pondered for a moment, and without concealing anything, said: "I met General Andre of the Storm Legion on the road. After listening to his story, the situation in the north is really urgent. I am also very worried.
I supported him and worked hard to promote this matter."
The old prime minister immediately pushed away the two women beside him and said solemnly: "Since it is the Duke who is asking me... let's do this. No matter how fast it is, I dare not say. But as long as I start entering the military headquarters tomorrow, then
Within seven days, reinforcements will definitely be sent out! But...in terms of ordnance and military supplies..."
He glanced at the chancellor.
Du Wei immediately smiled and said: "Mr. Munes, speaking of which, you are also my senior. My old Luolin family also has the beauty of marriage with your family. After all, your granddaughter is still my future brother-in-law. Presumably
You will definitely not embarrass me about this matter."
The finance minister nodded: "The regent has already made a decision. If you have the dignity of Tulip, I will naturally mobilize military resources quickly."
Du Wei nodded, knowing in his mind that he had lived up to General Andre's great trust. He also knew that it was the fastest speed to mobilize tens of thousands of troops and set off within seven days.
Tonight's invitation from the old prime minister and his attendance at the banquet may seem like nothing more than a romantic scene. In fact, there is a deeper meaning in it, which is his political stance!
Inviting the other party to attend a banquet and have a drink with everyone, and at this critical period when the military boss has collapsed and the old prime minister has taken over the military department, it is tantamount to sending a political signal: I am your friend!
Therefore, this seemingly unimportant romantic battle is actually indispensable.
However, Du Wei was a little confused as to what the accompanying Minister of Finance was doing here?
The old prime minister personally escorted several distinguished guests to the door, and then they said goodbye and returned to the banquet hall with the support of two beautiful concubines.
At this time, the woman who had been sitting on his left all night suddenly stood up and clapped her hands. Immediately, a servant came out quickly from behind, holding a silver plate with an exquisite crystal bowl on it.
, but what was inside was a bowl of something that smelled like medicine.
The old prime minister picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp, then closed his eyes and rested his mind for a while. When he opened his eyes, the drunkenness in his eyes had completely dissipated. He coughed and sighed: "It seems that I
I’m really old. After drinking this sobering medicine, the effect is not as good as before, and now I’m still a little dizzy.”
The girl sitting on his left smiled slightly, frowned slightly, then stood up, looked down at the other concubine, and said coldly: "Everyone, please get out."
Her tone was condescending and there was a hint of majesty. How could she be considered a concubine?
The other concubine and servant immediately bowed their heads respectfully and did not dare to waste a moment.
The girl walked around behind the old prime minister, clenched her two small hands into fists, and gently beat the old prime minister's back. She whispered in her mouth: "You haven't drank in a while. You suddenly drank like this today. Of course it's a bit overwhelming."
.It’s not that you are old. In fact, you are only seventy years old. Your position as the helm of this family depends on you to continue to support it.”
The old prime minister narrowed his eyes, but breathed out comfortably, and said slowly: "Your parents died early. After all, in your generation, you are the only one I can value. Alas, I just wronged you.
, but you still have to pretend to be a concubine by my side tonight."
The girl nodded slightly, but smiled and said: "You once taught me that you can endure what ordinary people cannot endure and achieve what ordinary people cannot achieve! I have known this truth since I was ten years old. I am just pretending to be a concubine tonight, so...
It’s nothing.”
A smile appeared on the corner of the old prime minister's mouth, looking very satisfied, and then he asked: "What do you think of these two young men?"
The girl pondered for a while and said: "This Camisillo seems to be very dignified, his words are impeccable, he is a cautious and careful person, and he seems to be very smart. Everything he says and does, every move he makes is appropriate! But...but...
It’s too appropriate! If you are too careful, it will taste like a deliberate falsehood.”
The old prime minister smiled lightly: "This is also difficult for him. He originally worked undercover under the eldest prince for ten years, and only came to the forefront after the coup two years ago, but how is it normal to be undercover for ten years? Naturally, he did not dare to take a step.
Wrong. This careful and cautious temperament has been deeply imprinted on him. However, this young man, who has been undercover for ten years and has hidden his identity, has a viciousness in his temperament, just like a wolf...
Alas, this is the only thing I am a little worried about."
The girl smiled: "No matter how vicious the wolf is, it can't escape your grasp."
The old prime minister gave a wry smile, but felt a little emotional: "You think highly of me, after all, I am old, how many more years can I live? If I am here, I can still control a town, but if I die, there will be nothing.
I said it." After pondering for a while, he said: "So, where is the Tulip Duke?"
This time, the girl was silent for a while, then shook her head, and her tone was somewhat unclear: "I...I can't understand something."
The old prime minister's mouth twitched slightly: "Oh? How do you say that?"
"He didn't do anything outstanding the whole night, and he even spoke very little. If it were anyone else, I'd be afraid to see the world-famous Tulip Duke like this. It's really a bit disappointing... To be honest, even me,
It all felt like it was 'just like that'. But now that I think about it carefully, it seems that this is not the case. Although this person rarely speaks, every time he speaks, he must be on point... Moreover, he doesn't know
Is it intentional or intentional..." The girl said this and gritted her teeth: "I always feel his eyes. It seems that he looked at me several times! Did he see something? If he likes beauty, so
Coveting me...not necessarily. The two dancers beside him were dressed more attractively than me, but he just leaned against me and didn't touch me. Especially when he looked at me, there seemed to be something else.
.”
The old prime minister nodded: "Well, yes, you observed carefully. But don't worry. Even if he sees something, he won't tell it because of his intelligence. Do you see anything else?"
"...No more." The girl was stunned for a moment, her tone a little depressed.
The old prime minister laughed and patted the girl's hand. "I have taught you a long time ago that when you look at people and things, the more things are in front of you, the easier it is for you to ignore them! You see, he didn't talk much all night.
Before leaving, he deliberately and openly asked me about the deployment of reinforcements. Have you seen through this intention?"
"...I'm stupid...I can't tell at all." The girl lowered her head deeply, seeming to blame herself.
"If you can't tell, I don't blame you. After all, you were just influenced by my ears and eyes, and you have never really been in this circle. There are some things that cannot be taught by others." The old prime minister sighed: "You tonight
My observation skills. I am already very satisfied.”
Then, the old man picked up another glass of wine in front of him...
"You...you just drank the medicine, don't drink it again."
"Huh, it's just a glass of wine! Besides, how can I not like such a young and talented man? How can I not drink a glass of wine!" As he said, the old prime minister drank it all in one gulp, coughed violently a few times, and said loudly: "
Do you think his last few requests were addressed to me? No! He was apparently begging me to beg the Minister of Finance...actually, his words were addressed to Camisillo!!"
"..."
Seeing the girl's silence, the old prime minister lowered his voice and said slowly: "I joined the military in name only, and Camisillo is the real one! For this departure, I just signed my name!"
It was the boy Camisillo who really did the work. Du Wei deliberately begged me in front of him, but actually he wanted to tell Camisillo. Then... whatever he said, Camisillo would definitely tell the regent as soon as possible.
!So... Du Wei is not begging me, he is actually begging the regent in disguise!"
The girl thought carefully for a while and said respectfully: "I am stupid. But... I still have two questions that I can't figure out. The first is, since Duke Tulip is deeply favored by the regent, why does he do this?
Why don't you ask the regent in person? As long as he asks, how can the regent disagree? This is the first question. As for the second question, since you know that he is not asking you, why did you agree to him for a period of seven days? "
The old prime minister laughed, shook his head, stood up, and slowly left a sentence: "You don't understand these. Although you can understand now that I have said it, you still don't understand when the same thing happens in the future! You
Only when you think about it slowly can you really understand. This politics is not so easy."
The girl nodded immediately and wrote it down respectfully.
The old prime minister sighed: "Have you made a decision after watching it all night?"
The girl pursed her lips, thought for a moment, then bit her lips, revealing her white teeth, as if she was struggling in her heart, and finally said: "I dare not hide it from you. If it is my own wish, this Tulip Duke, of course, is
Much better than Camisillo. But... this person is too heavy, I can't see through him, let alone... So, I'd better choose Camisillo."
"Very good! You are smart and cautious. It is rare that you don't aim too high. This self-knowledge alone makes it worth my while to cultivate you." The old prime minister put his hands behind his back, looked at the roof, and said leisurely: "Camisillo!
He is favored and trusted, and he is from the military. After entering the military department, he can be regarded as a fish in water. However, he has insufficient foundation, no support from a big family behind him, and his background is too low... No matter how hard he works in the future, this military affairs
He will never think about the position of minister in his life. However, it is normal for him to become a general in the future. According to my estimation, in the next twenty or thirty years, he should be able to become the second or third person in the military. This achievement
, it’s not low. Since you chose him, I’ll make some plans and find a way to arrange it in a month or two. Well, find a suitable opportunity, show your true colors, and then say you are me
As a distant grandniece in the family, he will not object if I propose marriage again. Camisillo is very smart. He knows that his shortcoming is that he does not have a big family background. If he marries with our family, then he will definitely also
I won’t accept it.”
But after Du Wei left the Prime Minister's Palace, he and Camisillo passed for a while. In Du Wei's carriage, looking at Camisillo, Du Wei suddenly asked: "Master Camisillo, are you
You’re not married yet, are you?”
Camisillo was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the Duke is just joking." He then sighed: "You also know that I have been undercover under the First Prince for ten years, and I am cautious day and night. As long as I reveal my identity,
At the slightest moment, there will be no body intact! I don’t even dare to talk in my sleep! How dare I marry a woman who sleeps next to my pillow every day? I’m not married yet, and I haven’t even booked a wedding.”
Duwei smiled and looked at Camisillo, his eyes full of smiles: "Oh, that's it... Lord Camisillo, I am a magician and a master of astrology, and I also know some divination and prediction methods.
Dongxi, based on what I think of your fortune... Hehe, you don’t have to worry about this wedding, it could be as late as half a year or as early as three months, I’m afraid you will be happy!"
After saying that, Du Wei couldn't help but laugh when he saw Camisillo's confused look.
