As the sun sets, the sun is setting.

At this moment, Vanilla was sitting at the stern of the boat, watching the sunset that was about to set. Accidentally captured last night, and then sent to Lu Ren by Gan Ning in the morning, Vanilla was also worried that she would encounter something she didn't dare to think about. However, after coming to Lu Ren's ship, Lu Ren only talked to her at the beginning, and then let Vanilla rest on the ship, and no one disturbed her after that, and allowed Vanilla to move around freely in some places on Lu Ren's ship.

Vanilla had been a captive of the Romans, so compared to what happened at that time, Vanilla knew very well that she was getting extra preferential treatment. Therefore, although I can't say that I am grateful to Lu Ren, I am always grateful. And Vanilla is the kind of girl who is very sensible and cautious, and now she has been treated preferentially by Lu Ren and given her a certain degree of freedom, but Vanilla doesn't dare to mess around, so she stays on the boat honestly.

Run away? Vanilla had thought about it, but she knew it wasn't realistic. Although her status in peace is a bit special, she herself is just a very ordinary girl, and she is not a beautiful ninja or a special forces king, how can she have the ability to escape from Lu Ren? And in Vanilla's subconscious, Vanilla didn't want to run away, because she wanted to see Lu Lan again, tell Lu Lan about the changes that happened to Wan'er, and see if Lu Lan could come up with any way.

What the? Why don't you just find Lu Ren? Vanilla and Lu Ren have only known each other for less than a day, and they don't know anything about Lu Ren at all, in other words, they are not familiar with Lu Ren. If it were you, would you normally tell someone you just met but didn't know very well?

So So, Vanilla is now honestly waiting on Lu Ren's ship, waiting for Lu Lan's return. Didn't Lu Ren also say it? Calculating the itinerary, Lu Lan will be able to come back in three or five days. But seriously, vanilla can't do anything other than wait here honestly.

She was looking at the sunset here, but Lu Ren's voice came from behind her: "Vanilla? Why are you sitting here? It's all here, have you eaten? ”

Vanilla hurriedly got up and saluted Lu Ren, but found that Lu Ren was just holding two steamed buns in his hands, and there was a small gourd on his wrist that he didn't know whether it was filled with wine or other drinks...... It's really not that Lu Ren is deliberately putting on a show, but the weather here is hot, and Lu Ren has been busy for another day, so he doesn't have much appetite at this time, so he just grabs a few steamed buns, drinks a few sips of a drink, pads his stomach, and then blows the wind on the deck, and then eats something when it is cooler at night.

Throwing a steamed bun to Vanilla, Lu Ren also stood at the stern of the boat and enjoyed the sunset. As mentioned earlier, although Lu Ren's heart was anxious, he knew that he couldn't ask too much about vanilla at this time, so he put this thought aside for the time being, and didn't ask too much about vanilla. And at this time, Lu Ren really came out to take a breath after a busy day and accidentally ran into vanilla, so he didn't want to ask vanilla at this time.

Vanilla took the steamed bun and nibbled on it in small bites, while looking at Lu Ren with eyes full of various complicated feelings. Again, Vanilla can feel that there are many feelings on Lu Ren's body that are very similar to Wan'er, but this feeling, Vanilla can't tell what's going on at all.

And by this time, Vanilla's state of mind has calmed down a lot, at least she won't know what to say like when she first met Lu Ren in the morning, and in Vanilla's subconscious, she also wants to know more about Lu Ren and Wan'er's "big enemy", so after gnawing half of the steamed buns in her hand, Vanilla finally mustered up her courage and opened her mouth to Lu Ren very carefully: "Lu Nanhai, can I ask you something?" ”

Lu Ren's heart was also moved, but his face did not show it/came out for half a minute, turned his head and said to Vanilla very gently: "What do you want to ask me?" ”

Vanilla hesitated for a moment before saying, "Lu Nanhai, why did you come to attack us and rest in peace?" ”

Lu Ren was silent for a moment, then shook his head slightly: "This question ...... Do you want to hear what is happening on the surface, or do you want to hear what is really in my heart? ”

Vanilla was stunned: "What about the scene on the surface? What's really in your mind? ”

Lu Ren sighed lightly: "The scene on the bright side...... Hehe, before our Han was invaded by Guishan and the 36 countries of the Western Regions in Liangzhou, and later found out that this incident was the result of your resting behind your back's provocation and instigation, then our Han naturally wanted to ask you for resting in peace. ”

Of course, Vanilla, as Wan'er's personal maid, has heard of this, and for the war between the two countries, such a reason is enough, and Vanilla can't say much.

But at this time, Lu Ren continued: "But I also said, this is just a scene on the surface. Really for the two kingdoms, which are thousands of miles apart, no matter who fights whom, the war is not so easy to fight. If such a battle is fought, one carelessness is likely to cause the entire country's livelihood and economy to collapse...... Ay? I say this, can you understand. ”

Vanilla was stunned, then nodded slightly: "I—I can understand a little." Lu Nanhai, do you mean that although the Han and Anxi have formed a feud, after all, because they are too far apart, if they really fight, it will make the people's lives difficult? ”

Lu Ren said: "That's what it means. Can you understand vanilla? ”

Vanilla nodded silently: "I, I have two brothers who are missing in the war with Rome, and now I don't know whether they are alive or dead." Maybe he was dead, or maybe he was taken into slavery by the Romans. And I almost ...... at that time Oh, not almost, but having become a slave to the Romans. If I hadn't happened to run into Miss Lan at that time, I would have become a Roman ...... by now."

Hurriedly shook his head, after all, vanilla didn't dare to think about that kind of thing, and had been deliberately avoiding it, and the conversation quickly turned slightly: "Although I am a palace maid in the palace, but because my identity is a bit special, I can go home from time to time to take a look." And since the war began, there have been fewer and fewer people in my family, my neighbors, and my partners, and the place that was originally poor but lively has become like a ghost land. ”

How could Lu Ren not know about this kind of thing? What he did when he debuted was to collect the displaced people and take charge of Tuntian, which is commonplace. At this moment, looking at Vanilla's expression again, Lu Ren shook his head and said, "War is like this. As soon as the war starts, a large number of people will be displaced from their homes. ”

Vanilla didn't know where the courage came from, and said very boldly: "Lu Nanhai, I can feel that you don't actually want to fight this war, so why can't you end this war?" As far as I know, there are actually many people in the circle of the resting nobility who want to persuade the Queen Regent to negotiate peace with you so that this war can end as soon as possible, even if it is to compensate you with some more money for this. ”

These words made Lu Ren stunned at that time, and people stared at vanilla in great shock. After a long time, Lu Rencai asked uncertainly, "What you said is true?" Among the nobles who rest in peace, any of them wants to make peace with me? ”

Vanilla nodded hurriedly. This is really not Vanilla's words, and with Vanilla's character, she never dared to talk nonsense. In fact, there is really such a voice inside Anxi, after all, Anxi is now in such a situation, and naturally some people will come up with the idea of whether it is possible to have peace talks with Lu Ren.

Not to mention Lu Ren, this is often the case between Rest and Rome. The two complaining families have been fighting for hundreds of years, often the battle is almost over, and both sides feel that they can't go on, so the disadvantaged side compensates the dominant side with a large amount of money and materials, and then the two sides will be at peace for a period of time, and then the next time there is any problem, the two sides will continue to fight. And with such a convention, there will be such a thought, so it is really not uncommon for someone to want to talk to Lu Ren at the rest of the head.

As for why vanilla knows this...... Please, vanilla's identity is a bit special! She is Wan'er's personal maid, and this alone is enough to make many rest nobles want to show favor or even curry favor with her. And she often has to go to Kath Eli to pass a message on behalf of Wan'er, run errands or something, so naturally she will have more contact with Kasy Eli, and she will also have a better understanding of Kasy Eli's dynamics to a certain extent. There is such an element, if those aristocratic politicians who rest in peace don't understand the value of vanilla as a maid, then don't mix in the political circle of rest.

To put it mildly, the situation of vanilla is a bit similar to that of a certain eunuch surnamed Li in modern Chinese history. It's really a bit like that, although the eunuch surnamed Li is a high-flying guy in Chinese folklore, in fact, this eunuch surnamed Li is very cautious and low-key, and it can even be said that he has basically never done anything excessive in his life. And what about vanilla? Vanilla has always been cautious and careful, never daring to do anything excessive, and many times he doesn't even dare to say a word more.

No further afar, in short, with the special position of Vanilla, those aristocratic politicians and others who rest in peace will inevitably seize the slightest opportunity to ask Vanilla about Wan'er and Cass Eli. Vanilla is very cautious, naturally he doesn't dare to say anything, but those aristocratic politicians will inevitably have some tone or intentionally or unintentionally leak to Vanilla, so Vanilla will know some thoughts of the nobles.

If you want to change it to the usual time, Vanilla definitely doesn't dare to say more, but now when facing Lu Ren, Vanilla doesn't know how she can say these things. Or maybe subconsciously, Vanilla also wants to end this war as soon as possible, and then wants to make a little effort for it, right?

I don't want to say much about this, and Vanilla doesn't know what kind of value she has to Lu Ren when she says it at this time. Where does Lu Ren actually want to fight this battle? Not only in a political sense, Lu Ren doesn't want to fight this battle, but in terms of personal feelings, where is Lu Ren willing to meet Wan'er? But there is no way, Wan'er is in such a state now, and the impact on the aristocratic political circle of rest is so great, Lu Ren doesn't make up his mind to solve Wan'er and rest first, so when the rest is fully developed in the future, what kind of situation Lu Ren will fall into here, Lu Ren doesn't dare to think about it.

In this case, suddenly hearing Vanilla say that there was actually a voice in the aristocratic circle that wanted to make peace with him, Lu Ren, the old fritter, immediately realized that this matter could be used. As for how to use it...... It's hard to say, after all, I've just gotten the wind from Vanilla, and I don't know anything about it, so even if I want to use it, it's hard to start in a short period of time.

In short, Lu Ren wrote down this matter first, and looking back at the development of the current situation, Lu Ren will think about how to use it. And at this time, it's rare for vanilla, a little Persian beauty, to take the initiative to open her mouth, so of course it's better to seize the opportunity to communicate with her more.

"Vanilla, a lot of things aren't as simple as you think. To tell you the truth, I, Lu Ren, don't want to go to war with you in peace. Isn't it good that everyone is so far apart, and they usually do business with each other, and everyone has money to make? ”

Vanilla wondered: "That, why do you want to ...... Lu Nanhai?"

Lu Ren waved his hand: "Didn't I say it all just now?" A lot of things aren't that simple. Speaking of which, I actually had to fight because ......"

Saying that, Lu Ren looked at the vanilla and sighed heavily: "You are Wan'er's personal maid, so I think you should know what kind of hatred Wan'er has for me." It is precisely because Wan'er has such a hatred for me that Wan'er will never make any compromises to me. And Wan'er's influence on the psychological level of your regent Queen Cass Eli and the nobles who rest in your peace is too great, which makes it unlikely that you will make any compromise on my entire rest. Therefore, even if some of you nobles want to make peace with me, under the influence of Wan'er, it is impossible to do something, and they don't even dare to say it. ”

Vanilla was stunned, and after thinking about it for a while, she nodded helplessly in agreement. She was exposed to some things, and the situation she knew was just as Lu Ren said, although some nobles who were resting in peace had this idea, they didn't dare to say it in the open, let alone do it.

After being silent for a while, Vanilla couldn't help but ask, "Lu Nanhai, what kind of hatred is there between you and the Divine Envoy?" Is there really no way to resolve it? And as far as I know, Lu Nanhai, you were completely forced to kill the father of the Divine Envoy, and even the Divine Envoy himself once sighed, this, this is really ......."

At this point, Vanilla didn't know how to say it, and Lu Ren suddenly changed his words after looking at Vanilla a few times: "Vanilla, are you interested in listening to me tell a story?" ”

"Huh? Ahh......h
