Although he successfully persuaded Mrs. Lister and got help from the beautiful Marchioness, Mrs. Lister came forward and actually easily persuaded Princess Louise to compromise.
The princess didn't seem to have any dissatisfaction with being kidnapped and returned to Loulan City.
But after Marquis Liszt quietly explained her purpose, Her Royal Highness the Princess just nodded: "I understand. Anyway, Delly and Lan, they all just want to use me to show off, right?"
Mrs. Lister's expression was quite calm: "Louise, this matter was originally caused by that guy Delly. The fight between their two families, but you were involved in this matter. This matter should not have anything to do with you at all."
It's related. Now the Tulip family is forced to do this. Moreover, they want me to promise that they will never embarrass or hurt you. All they need you to do is to cooperate, show up in public at a banquet, and behave
Be more natural. Then, take the opportunity to release the news, saying that our future princess is tired from the journey and feels a little unwell, so she needs to stay in Loulan City for a few more days."
After a pause, Mrs. Lister smiled and said: "As long as it can be postponed for a while, things will always be resolved peacefully. Moreover, Louise, I understand your personality. You are a kind girl, and you will never
I hope that because of what that idiot Delly did, a meaningless war will break out on the continent and all living beings will be devastated."
The beautiful Princess Louise was a little absent-minded. She pulled up her hair as if subconsciously, then walked to the window and looked out the window... Here was the highest tower in the castle, and in the distance below, the bustling Loulan City.
A peaceful and prosperous world atmosphere.
After a long time, the princess turned around, her expression full of complexity: "Okay, I am willing to accept your request, but..."
When she finally agreed, Mrs. Lister secretly breathed a sigh of relief. So, when the princess said "No," Mrs. Lister immediately said: "But what? Mr. Philip said. All your requests, we will
I will try my best to satisfy you.”
"I just want to know when I can see Duke Tulip!" Princess Louise looked a little dissatisfied: "You are detaining me here, but I am an imperial princess, and your leader Duke Tulip is actually not at odds with me.
When I meet you, is this contempt for me?"
Mrs. Lister gave a bitter smile and nodded: "Okay, I promise you. When the Duke comes back, he will see you immediately. However, he is indeed not in the city now."
"Huh!" The princess was a little suspicious: "Detaining a princess and a future princess is already a serious matter on the verge of rebellion. Isn't it such a big thing that the Tulip Duke who is away from home can't be rushed back immediately?!"
Mrs. Lister's expression was even more helpless: "Du Wei...he is actually a little different from the vast majority of nobles in this world."
The banquet was very successful.
Although Princess Louise is not an outstanding politician, she was born into the royal family and has been surrounded by the palace since she was a child. She is also very skilled in the kind of things that happen when the situation arises. It must be said that women in the world are all born good actors.
At the banquet that night, dignitaries and celebrities from all walks of life in the Desa province, business leaders, and some distinguished guests from the neighboring province of Nulin were invited.
Among the crowds of guests, Princess Louise was dressed in a noble and elegant manner. She accepted the flattery and flattery of countless guests with a calm and relaxed expression, not at all like a prisoner being detained. Looking at her demeanor, it was quite surprising.
It's like holding a banquet in your own palace.
Moreover, due to the absence of Miss Vivian, the fiancée of the Tulip Duke, the position of hostess was vacant. This made the princess the only focus of the entire evening. She frequently raised glasses to the guests, just like the hostess in this castle.
Later, the princess pretended to be chatting casually and revealed that Miss Dai Li was in poor health and needed to recuperate in Loulan City for some days. When this news came from the princess herself, no one would doubt it.
Throughout the night, Mrs. Liszt did not show up. However, during the banquet, she ran to a heavily guarded courtyard behind the castle and met Miss Delly. No one knew the content of the conversation between the two parties, but the guard saw Liszt.
When the lady came out, her face was not pretty. Her beautiful girl-like face seemed to be cast by a layer of gloom.
Mrs. Lister walked out of the room and saw Philip with a wry smile on her face. This handsome young man looked at the beautiful Marchioness coming out and bowed slightly: "Marquise, what on earth is going on with our princess?"
explain?"
Mrs. Lister's smile was also a little bitter. She nodded to Philip. After thinking about it, she slowly said: "Mr. Philip, at least one thing, you are right."
"What?"
The beautiful Marchioness smiled bitterly: "She is the kind of person we are most afraid of. We are not afraid of dealing with smart people, nor are we afraid of dealing with stupid people. What we are most afraid of is dealing with this kind of guy who is obviously stupid but thinks he is smart. Because I suspect,
This self-righteous little girl will drag everyone into hell."
Philip's smile was also full of helplessness, and he couldn't help but add: "Moreover, it just so happens that at this time, our leader is not here yet."
After a pause, when he saw Mrs. List about to leave, Philip suddenly asked in a calm tone and too loud a voice: "Marquise, please wait a moment."
Mrs. Lister turned around, with her hands in her sleeves. She was dressed in black, with a gold ribbon tying up her slender waist: "Mr. Philip, do you have anything else to say?"
"You and I both know that this is a crisis." Philip said slowly: "Marquise, as the head of the Liszt family, haven't you ever thought about leaving a way out for your family at this time?
?For example, before the matter is exposed, I can let you and your family members leave the northwest quickly."
Mrs. Lister's face was gloomy: "Mr. Philip, do you think that at this time, our Lister family still has room to retreat? Now on the entire continent, almost everyone believes that the Lister family has been annexed by the Tulip family.
Yes! I want to remind you: we are sitting on the same boat now! If you say something like this again... I will think that this is a kind of disrespect for your allies!"
After finishing speaking, Mrs. Lister held her head proudly and left slowly. When she left, Philip had a smile on his face, stepped back half a step, and bent down to see her off.
After seeing off the last guest, the old housekeeper Mad, who was no longer young anymore, felt that she was so tired that she couldn't stand straight.
Fortunately, that smart little ghost Sandy stayed with Mader the whole night. This little guy Duwei picked up from the slave market has grown up a bit in the past few years in the northwest, and now he is also
He is already a handsome young man, although he has lost a little weight. However, in the past few years with Mader, he is still quite skillful in handling matters such as court etiquette.
In fact, Mader, who is loyal to Du Wei, knows that at his age, it is impossible to accompany the young Duke all his life. For Mader, the former groom, Master Duwei has been holding him since he was a child.
! Even Master Du Wei’s mother probably didn’t spend as much time hugging him as she did herself!
Especially, during Du Wei's coming-of-age ceremony, Du Wei actually asked himself to play the role of "parent" to help him complete the coming-of-age ceremony. There was almost a faint emotion flowing in Old Mad's heart.
In Mad's mind, this young duke was both his master and his own son.
The Duke is growing up day by day, but he is aging day by day. One day, he will no longer be able to accompany the Duke on his glorious life path.
When the time comes...this exciting little Sandy may be the most qualified successor to succeed him.
After rubbing her sore waist, Madd glanced at Sandy beside her.
Sandy already has the appearance of a handsome young man, except for his slightly darker skin. He almost looks like a noble boy. After being nurtured in the Duke's Palace for so many years, the cleverness in his eyes is still there.
But he has become more mature.
The only flaw was that this little guy, like thousands of young men in the world, was in his prime. Throughout the evening, little Sandy was dazzled by the female guests dressed up in gorgeous clothes.
At this moment, when Mad looked at Sandy, Sandy was secretly looking at the daughter of a chamber of commerce leader. She was an eighteen-year-old girl with big breasts and wide hips, but her waist twisted when she walked.
Twisting, several times, Sandy was even a little worried that she would accidentally break her waist.
Mader just laughed and cursed in his heart. He also came from Sandy's age. He knows what it's like for young people to be young and vigorous. Moreover, little Sandy, who is now deeply trusted in the Duke's Palace, actually has a lot of secrets.
The maids in the castle often give him secret gifts. After all, anyone who is not blind can see that as long as Mader grows old, this young Sandy will definitely be the next head of the family's internal affairs.
Already.
Fortunately, although Sandy has some youthful turbulence, he is still relatively stable and will not let these things get to his head, and he will never delay any of the things that Mader assigns to him.
Therefore, when Madd saw Sandy staring blankly at the daughter of the leader of the chamber of commerce, he just lightly tapped him on the back of the head: "Boy, take back your eyes! Don't let people think that the Tulip family is uneducated.
!”
Sandy chuckled, and then smiled exaggeratedly: "Oh, God, Uncle Mad! Can't you even look at it? Alas, you have been teaching me the whole night. Such a beautiful princess, I
You can't look at it, otherwise it would be disrespectful. I can't look at those noble ladies... Now I can't even look at a businessman's daughter?"
"Of course it's okay if you just look at it, but I'm worried that after you look at it, you will run out again at night and throw roses into that lady's yard through the wall... Sandy, don't think that I am old and stupid."
Sandy touched his nose: "Okay, Uncle Mad. But, I heard that you were also romantically involved when you were young."
Mader immediately looked intoxicated: "Of course! I think back then, when the young master was still young, I was personally chosen by the countess to take care of the young master. As a result, among the beautiful maids in the mansion, who didn't come quietly to flatter me...
…Ahem!”
After Mad said a few words, he suddenly felt that it was inappropriate to talk about this kind of topic in front of this little guy. He coughed quickly, glared at the kid fiercely, and then hit him on the back of the head with secret movements.
After a moment: "Quickly, go and supervise the servants to pack their things. Those tableware are all top-grade and valuable goods. Don't break any of them! I also want to see our noble and righteous Highness."
After saying that, Mader found that he had issued an order, but the boy did not respond.
He looked sideways, but was dissatisfied when he saw that this boy was staring straight in the direction of the door. His mouth was wide open, as if he was looking at something in a daze.
What kind of woman is staring at me again!
Mader finally felt a little unhappy, but just when he was about to kick this kid, he accidentally glanced at the door and was stunned!
At the door, the door of the banquet hall was pushed back, and three people rushed in almost like a whirlwind. They even knocked several servants staggering.
As for these three people, their attire is obviously extremely inappropriate for a banquet on such a noble occasion tonight!
They were dressed in rags, all three of them had dirty faces, and their hair was as messy as a straw nest. Even the man in the middle had rips all over his trousers, and he didn't even have a decent coat on his upper body, as if he didn't know.
Where did I pick up the most ordinary and inferior leather jacket common in the northwest?
The other two girls beside him were also unkempt, as if they could shake off two kilograms of dirt just by shaking them casually.
What made Madu even more stunned was that after these three people dressed like beggars rushed into the banquet hall, they ignored the screams of the servants next to them and ran directly to the dining table next to them!'
The man in the middle cheered, stretched out his dirty hands and grabbed a crystal wine glass. He drank half of the fine wine worth one hundred gold coins per ounce in one gulp, and then grabbed another piece.
He chewed the juicy prime sirloin with big mouthfuls. The fresh and tender meat juice dripped on his face, leaving a long mark on his dusty cheek, but he didn't care at all, but he ate it.
Just like a starving ghost reincarnated.
Although the two girls next to him looked more elegant than him, they definitely could not be called "ladies".
Both girls were holding the largest piece of bread they could get and biting it hard. Even the slightly petite girl on the left was choked and stretched her neck a few times, and then grabbed it from the man's hand.
Li grabbed the wine glass, drank half the glass of wine in one gulp, and then let out a long sigh of relief.
These three guys were like wind and clouds, and in the blink of an eye, they had swept away less than half of the food on the table. Even after the man finished drinking a glass of wine, he casually threw the glass behind his head.
With a snap, Old Mad's face twisted with a headache. That crystal wine glass was worth hundreds of gold coins!
Damn it!
Where did these three beggars run in from? Where are our castle guards! Where are our Tulip family guards!
Ma De felt that her heart was getting angry. She was about to stride over and ask, but after taking two steps, she saw the man finally put down the things in his hands. He hugged his stomach in an inconspicuous manner and let out a long sigh. Then he saw Ma De.
De, laughed in a cheerful voice: "Aha! My dear Mad, I was hungry for three days and three nights and worked hard to get back! But I didn't expect that you had prepared so much food. It was simply too much.
It suits me!" After a pause, he let out a loud belch, and then sighed: "Yima De, why are you wearing a dress? Is there a banquet at our house tonight?"
Mad's eyes have straightened!
Of course he heard the voice, and then he opened his mouth so much that his chin almost touched the ground: "Du Wei, Master Du Wei?!"
Then, he rubbed his eyes hard and finally recognized it this time.
This guy with a face covered in black dirt and dressed like a beggar. Who is this if not Du Wei?
What made Mader even more stunned was that behind Du Wei, the guy holding a large piece of bread and gnawing hard was actually the Miss Vivian who was always shy and timid in his impression, and blushed whenever she spoke?!
The other girl, holding a table knife, cut a large piece of meat steak into several pieces with a flash of light and a few swishes like a whirlwind. It was none other than the female warrior Qiao Qiao.
"Duke...Your Majesty the Duke..." Sandy swallowed hard: "How could you become like this? I remember that there has been no famine anywhere in our province of Desa recently."
Mader kicked him in the back, and Sandy quickly knelt down to salute, and then gave Vivian the courtesy of a matron.
Du Wei had almost finished eating at this moment, and he let out a sigh of relief: "It's hard to explain. I heard Vivian say that something big happened in the family. I just ran all the way back and came back without any effort.
It’s thousands of miles away! And in order to save time, I didn’t take the northwest corridor. After entering the desert from the grassland, I went directly over the Kilimaro Mountains... But those mountains are so damn high! The wind at the top of the mountain is also damn damn good.
It was so big! It blew me up and down, and I even encountered a sandstorm when I was in the desert. After running around, I didn’t have time to stop and look for something to eat...Mad, stop talking and prepare a clean room for me quickly. I want it.
Take a shower and change clothes!”
When Du Wei returned to his room and soaked in hot water, he finally sighed comfortably.
The flight from the Snowy Mountains back to Loulan City was fast, but the continuous flight, coupled with the sandstorms in the desert, really tortured the three of them. What made Du Wei the most depressed was that he found that his
There was actually no food left in the storage ring, so I rushed into the castle like a starving ghost and ate everything I saw.
Halfway through the wash, the food had been digested, and some of the fatigue in his body had been driven away by the hot water. Du Wei was sighing comfortably when he heard an anxious knock on the door from outside.
Du Wei dissatisfiedly picked up a soft snow-white towel and wrapped it around himself. In fact, with his status, he can be as luxurious as most nobles on the mainland when taking a bath, and have ten or eight beautiful little girls.
Come and take a bath with her. But Du Wei is that kind of person. When taking a bath, if there are ten or eight beautiful girls next to him, Du Wei will feel uncomfortable.
Wrapped in a bath towel and opening the door, Du Wei saw Philip standing at the door with a wry smile on his face. What surprised Du Wei a little was that standing behind Philip was the beautiful Mrs. Lister.
Philip and Mrs. Lister learned that Du Wei was finally back, and they both rushed over. Mrs. Lister also confidently requested to meet Duwei immediately. After all, we are all on the same boat now, and our fate is life and death. There is no reason to exclude her.
Outside.
But when he saw Du Wei, who was almost half naked and only wrapped in a bath towel, he opened the door. The face of the beautiful mixed-blood elf couldn't help but be smeared with a layer of bright red.
"You two, I wonder if you don't know that it is rude to disturb other people's bathing?" Du Wei sighed. He didn't feel embarrassed at all. After all, in the world of his previous life, he was wearing a swimsuit in a public swimming pool.
It's very common to run around.
Philip was the first to calm down, and he said calmly: "Sir, if we don't disturb you, I'm afraid you will never have the chance to take a leisurely bath again in your life."
"Oh, what happened?" Although Du Wei asked, he still didn't look nervous.
Of course...after all, even legendary old antiques like Ares have seen it. Characters like the devil and goddess, those things have all gone by the wayside...No matter how big the matter is, can it be as big as the devil's matter?
Philip didn't waste any words and told the story straightforwardly about Miss Delly's plan to steal military weapons secrets and then being captured by him.
Only halfway through speaking, Du Wei's face finally turned serious.
"So... you mean that we have now imprisoned the future princess and a princess?" Du Wei blinked.
"That's not entirely the case." Philip said confidently: "The princess still lives in the VIP room in the castle and enjoys the treatment of a VIP... But for Miss Delly, I have decided to lock her in the small dungeon behind the castle.
.Because of her special status, I cannot allow her to have the opportunity to contact the outside world."
"Small dungeon? The same small dungeon where I imprisoned Elulu on the spot?" Du Wei couldn't help but his face changed: "You are telling me that we secretly imprisoned the future wife of the regent and the sister of the imperial army commander.
Into the dungeon?"
"We also killed all the guards she took with her, a total of one hundred and sixteen people." Philip said calmly.
"What the hell!" Duwei groaned, then pressed his forehead hard: "I said, dear Philip, why do we always encounter such particularly difficult troubles?"
Philip's voice was calm: "Sir, I have been trying to cover up this matter. Because you are not here, I can't make any decisions on my own. So..."
"So what?"
Philip said leisurely: "So, there are only two ways in front of you now. The first one. You have to think of a way to 'get' this beautiful princess as soon as possible. Well, the word "get it" seems to be yours too.
Teach me. But if you can't handle her, then the only second way we have left is..."
At this point, Philip sighed quietly: "Revolt."
Du Wei's expression was very strange.
He looked at Philip carefully for a long time. Then he looked at Mrs. Lister.
Then, the solemnity and solemnity on his face suddenly disappeared, and he waved lazily: "Okay, I understand. You can go out first."
Philip smiled slightly, bent down, and was about to leave, but Mrs. Lister was a little dissatisfied. She couldn't help but solemnly said: "Your Majesty the Duke... I don't think you understand the seriousness of this matter yet!"
"Of course I understand." Du Wei said with a straight face: "What I understand even more is that I am taking a shower now, and I am only wearing a bath towel. Beautiful Marquise, do you want to talk to me on such an occasion?
Shall we discuss national affairs together?"
Having said this, looking at Mrs. Liszt's gloomy face, Du Wei smiled: "Okay, beautiful madam. Please don't worry, I already have a solution in mind and I will deal with her!"
"You, what did you say?"
"I said, I will take care of that beautiful princess." After Du Wei finished speaking, he ignored the two of them, turned around, wrapped himself in a bath towel, and got into the bathroom.
