Chapter 196 (1/2)

It's not what Dewey expected.

He got a rare cold reception on the way in Mulan city!

As a Duke of the Empire, he was favored by the Regent. He was also born in the famous Wuxun family of the Empire (although the Rowling family has collapsed, he is very particular about the family. However, the garrison of Mulan city thought that it was tough. He took a cold look at the imperial guards and answered: ”it's because you see that you are the imperial guards that we have to check! If there is no order to leave the garrison without permission, it is the same as the crime of rebellion! Hum

However, due to Du Wei's order brought by Philip, the Imperial Guard didn't dare to get angry. He waited patiently for the other party to check the documents, and then lashed his horse like a vent. Then he took people to the city.

The soldier who was guarding the city looked coldly at him, but mocked: ”hum, people from the south just don't know how to cherish horses. Such a man who does not care for his own horses is worthy to be a cavalry. ”

This happened to be heard by Dewey in the carriage. He was silent and sighed for a long time.

The Imperial Army, it's hard to use.

Maybe their equipment is the best. The treatment is also the best, but... This army piled up with gold coins always makes Du Wei feel too flashy.

Du Wei had planned to keep the 500 imperial guards after he arrived in the northwest, but it seemed that this idea had been dismissed by him all the way. These proud royals. Not in Dewey's plan.

But Dewey then smiles at Philip beside him: ”it seems that governor Bohan is not friendly to us.”

Philip is also a face of doubt, although he is a young man that Dewey is optimistic about. But after all, I have no political experience. Although I have good knowledge, I still can't see through some things.

Dewey knew that.

If you don't come to the northwest, it's governor Bohan who leads the overall situation against the northwest army. And here he is... What would Bohan think? I'm afraid he would think that the central government of the Empire did not trust him! Send someone to share your power!

You know, although Bohan is only a governor of nurin in name, in fact he is. Duvier had heard before he came, because the two former lords of Desa province had been driven away by the northwest army, and in such a chaotic situation, governor Bohan was in charge of the order.

It's strange that people are willing to give themselves a good face when they come here!

The motorcade all the way into Mulan City, Dewey sitting in the carriage looking out of the window, all the way to see. The capital city of nurin province. It's really good for Bohan. Busy streets, pedestrians. There are also those businessmen, a lively and prosperous.

They crossed the street and went directly to the governor's house. On the way, they finally met the governor's house.

Several officials in charge of the reception of the governor's office came on horseback (which made Du Wei sigh. It seems that in the northwest, everyone can ride a horse, and even the riding skills of these civilian officials seem to be quite skilled), blocking the way of Du Wei's motorcade.

The visitors are very respectful to Dewey, but the meaning of the words is worth pondering.

”Your Highness, the governor asked us to welcome you into the city. It's just that this morning's affairs in the governor's house were complicated, and this autumn's delivery of military pay was in a mess, which delayed the time. Please make atonement. We are leading the way ahead. The governor has already arranged the residence of the Duke. The executive residence of Mulan city is in front of us... ”

Before he finished, Dewey frowned slightly.

Executive mansion?

In the Empire, the executive mansion was the place where each local government was responsible for receiving officials from other regions, which was equivalent to the ancient Chinese post house. But the problem is that... Those places generally only received some low-level officials, such as Duwei. Where did the local officials dare to let Duwei live? Along the way, in every city, local officials would choose the best place in the city for Duwei to live in. They even wanted to ask Duwei to live in their own home.

But governor Bohan was so good that he dared to do such a thing. He not only didn't come by himself, but also threw Dewey to the executive mansion!

What makes Du Wei frown is not that he dislikes the bad conditions of the executive residence. But he didn't expect that governor Bohan's attitude towards himself was so bad that he didn't even have to be polite.

As a result, people around Dewey were a little upset. Even Philip, a rookie in the political arena, felt that he had gone too far, while the servants and soldiers under Dewey were all angry.

Dewey thought about it. He suddenly laughed, then stepped out of the carriage and looked at the two officials of Mulan city. His tone was very peaceful: ”don't you know the governor is in the city now?”

One of them was about to answer, but the other quietly gave him a pull, and then said with a smile, ”Your Highness, unfortunately, our governor left the city early this morning. Yesterday, the northwest army sent someone to collect the materials and salaries for the autumn, as well as several business groups of different nationalities in the grassland, which made the governor really inseparable. ”

Dewey nodded, but sneered.

Out of town early this morning?

Joke! Along the way, every place I went, my cavalry would run in front of me, and every place I stayed. Those local officials will also announce their itinerary to the next place! In this way, the governor must have known about his arrival yesterday.

Now that he knew he was coming, he chose to go out early this morning? Open your eyes and talk nonsense!

Think of it here. Suddenly an idea came into duvet's mind.

You want to avoid me? I want to see you! Governor Bohan, although you have made great contributions in the Northwest for many years, this shelf is too big, isn't it?

Then Dewey gave a simple order to the people around him: ”everyone go to the residence with these two gentlemen to have a rest... General Longbottom, Philip. Follow me to the governor's house. Lao Yan, take your people with me

The two officials in Mulan changed their faces, but Duwei didn't discuss with them at all and gave orders directly. He's the Duke. How dare these two guys stop him? Only obediently separated a person to lead the brigade to the residence, the rest of a person in front of the guide, with Dewey to the governor's house.

The governor's office is located in the center of Mulan City, which is typical of the architectural style of Northwest China. It's almost ugly, but it's very strong. Before people came near, Dewey felt the busy atmosphere in the governor's house from a distance. In the gate of the governor's mansion, there were busy officials going in and out. There was also a side door next to it. There was a long queue, which made Dewey look strange.

The people in the queue were all dressed in different ways, some in leather robes and some in southern silk robes. From their temperament. It's probably a businessman or something. These people gathered in a long line at the side door of the governor's house. But I don't know what to wait for.
