In the blink of an eye, a few days later.

At this time, Wan'er was reading the materials in the courtyard and drawing drawings, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Vanilla walking into the courtyard, and just wanted to say hello, she found that Vanilla's face was a little ugly. After a slight hesitation, Wan'er put down the pen in her hand, beckoned to Vanilla and asked, "Vanilla, what's wrong with you?" Why is your face so ugly? Could it be that something happened to your family again? ”

When Vanilla went there with Wan'er a few days ago, Wan'er helped Vanilla's relative to check on the condition, and then asked Vanilla to send the medicine over today, so Vanilla just went there to send the medicine back. At this moment, hearing Wan'er's question, Vanilla looked at Wan'er, but swallowed back the words that came to her mouth.

Wan'er was very displeased when she saw Vanilla's attitude of wanting to speak and stop, and she gently tapped her fingers on the stone table and said, "Vanilla, what do you can't say in front of me?" ”

Vanilla was most afraid of Wan'er like this, so she quickly bowed down and responded: "No, it's nothing, really, really." ”

Wan'er frowned, and her tone was still so cold: "You have been with me for a few years, I don't know what kind of character you are?" Say, what the hell is going on? Could it be that someone bullied you? I want to see who has the audacity to bully you in this royal city! ”

Although the tone of these words was still so cold, Vanilla was warm in his heart. Again, although Wan'er has become much colder after a complete split in personality, she is still very good to vanilla.

"No, no one bullied me, but no one who knew me had the guts."

After hearing this, Wan'er's brows eased slightly: "Then why is your face so ugly?" Don't say anything like you're not feeling well, if you really get sick, I'll see it right away. ”

Vanilla quickly shook her head. Next, under Wan'er's gaze, Vanilla hesitated a little before saying, "I, I'm really fine." In fact, when I went to deliver medicine to my relatives today, I happened to meet an official who brought someone to my house to recruit people, and many people in my area were requisitioned and transferred, and now there are basically only the elderly, women and children left in my family. There is no man in this family, and everyone is upset, so I, I ......."

“……”

Seeing that Vanilla was in a bad mood because of such a thing, Wan'er's brows tightened again when she had just stretched out a little. Looking at the pattern on the stone table again, Wan'er was in no mood to draw any more, so she simply got up and left the table, and slowly walked in this flower courtyard. And Vanilla saw Wan'er like this, and quickly followed behind Wan'er.

"Is there really any point in fighting such a battle? But...... Father, why did you turn against Lu Ren in the first place? Now in order to avenge you, I have provoked one war after another, and countless people have died because of these wars, is it really worth it? ”

After secretly saying this in her heart, Wan'er shook her head helplessly. How to say that? In Wan'er's current consciousness, revenge against Lu Ren is the top priority no matter what, or this is a "main task" that "he" forcibly set for Wan'er that is not allowed to be abandoned, so although Wan'er will feel confused and hesitant for some reason, it is absolutely impossible for Wan'er not to take revenge on Lu Ren. Anyway, to put it simply, it is "revenge must be avenged".

And when she thought of the so-called "revenge for killing her father", Wan'er's face became blue and ugly at that time. Driven by such a "mandatory main quest", Wan'er at this moment thought about the things that Vanilla just talked about: "This is also something that can't be helped." Lu Ren's army is about to overwhelm the border, and before the rest, because of the war with Rome, the national strength has been greatly damaged, and Hassanke has suffered a great loss of vitality due to the defeat of the enemy, so at this time, he can only recruit troops and labor as much as possible from all aspects. If you don't do this, where can you stop Lu Ren from resting? ”

Thinking of this, Wan'er couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh softly: "Now I can only count on Hassan Keyin to be a little more aggressive and keep Lu Ren's army out of the Persian Gulf." I don't know much about military affairs, but I also know that Lu Ren now has 100,000 troops in Central Asia, so the pressure on logistics and supplies should be very high. If Hassan was able to hold the entrance to the Persian Gulf to the death, making it difficult for Lu Ren's army to move forward, then perhaps with a little more delay, Lu Ren might have to temporarily retreat due to the huge pressure on logistics and supplies, so that he could breathe a sigh of relief. ”

Then she turned around and looked at the vanilla who was following behind her, and seeing that the vanilla was so cautious to follow, Wan'er smiled at the vanilla very plainly, and then turned back and thought: "If I can temporarily repel Lu Ren, my revenge should be postponed for a while." If it continues like this, it may collapse, and if it fails, where can I go to find another country that can help me avenge? ”

————————————————————

There is a saying that "ideas are beautiful, but reality is cruel".

Wan'er's idea should be said to be right, whether it is out of sympathy for the common people, or out of long-term plans for successful revenge, Wan'er has realized that the current rest will be so hard to hold on to something big, so it is necessary to give the rest a time to breathe and recover.

But in the same way, if you want to win this respite and recovery time, you must concentrate all the strength that Anxi can still concentrate on to resist Lu Ren, and this is the reason why Wan'er didn't say anything when she heard Vanilla talk about the recruits. In fact, Wan'er understood that Vanilla still had a layer of thought at that time, that is, she wanted to ask Wan'er to come forward to exempt her from the personnel recruitment of her part, but Wan'er understood that she couldn't go out of this area, and once she came out, it was likely to cause trouble to the personnel recruitment in some other places, and it would be difficult for Cass Yili to do it when she turned back.

Don't go too far, just say that Wan'er's idea is good, but she doesn't know that at this time, there have been some voices of dissatisfaction in the aristocratic circle of rest. Speaking of which, this is also the result of Wan'er not very understanding of politics, if she wants to change to the old fritter Lu Ren, in that case, she may use other means.

Here's the thing, fighting a war is inseparable from money, especially now that the rest of the navy is seriously damaged and needs to be rebuilt urgently, then the money to be spent on rest is really not a small amount. It's just the Treasury of Rest now...... You can huh it. Previously, it had been fighting with Rome in Armenia for a period of time, and it had already "burned" a lot of deposits in the treasury of the Rest, and now there is a matter of naval reconstruction, and the money in the treasury of the Resting State is really a little tight.

There is nothing else to say about such a thing, levy! And in addition to imposing additional taxes on the common people, Cass Eli also set her sights on certain nobles at this time, asking these nobles to pay a large amount of taxes.

It is conceivable that these nobles are basically nobles who do not deal with Kass Eli, so Kasy Eli took this opportunity to ask these nobles to pay money at this time, and it was obvious that she wanted to take the opportunity to attack these nobles. The problem at this time is that you don't really take others for stupidity! This little ninety-nine in your Kasi Eli's heart, these smart people in the nobility can't see it?

It must also be made clear here that in terms of rest, or Cass Eli here after Wan'er appeared, there is a development towards a centralized model. However, the political structure of the rest itself is notoriously loose, and this problem has been described in detail before, so it will not be wordy here, but it is only said that the pattern of rest at this time is a bit similar to the early period of the Western Han Dynasty, that is, the surrounding area of the royal city of rest is under the direct jurisdiction of the central government, and the farther areas are similar to the feudal states. It's not that Kasili doesn't want to attack these vassals, but the time and heat haven't reached a certain point yet, so she can't do that kind of thing.

However, the vassal had the obligation to pay money and provide military assistance to the central government, and it was on this occasion that Kasily took advantage of this to open her mouth to those vassal states. Wan'er herself doesn't know much about politics, and she doesn't usually interfere in Kasy Yili's government affairs, so she won't ask about these things. But if this kind of thing is known to Lu Ren, he will scold Cass Yili for not having gutter oil in her head.

You want to weaken your political enemies and nobles and weaken the power of the vassal kingdom right, but you have to choose the right time and opportunity to do this! If the timing is not right, you will do this, do you Kasi Yili want to make a scene like the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion in the early Western Han Dynasty? I really don't know how you have been the regent queen of Cass Eli for so many years, how can you be so confused on such a issue? Could it be that Lu Ren is really in a hurry here?

Maybe Cass Eli was really pushed, but Cass Eli wasn't that stupid. She dared to open this lion's mouth now in fact, and she actually relied on it, that is, the lords of several vassal kingdoms who were asked for money and soldiers had hostages in the hands of Kasili.

Okay, don't talk about that, that's it anyway. It's just that in this way, whether it is a nobleman or a lord who is asked for money and soldiers by Cass Eli, everyone's heart will be the same unhappy and unhappy. In addition, the previous power struggle was strongly suppressed by Wan'er and Kasy Eli, so these unhappy nobles and lords will inevitably make some moves in private and in secret.

It's like some people are beginning to realize a problem, that is, how can someone who is resting well have a good relationship with Lu Ren's liver? One is in West Asia, the other is in East Asia, not to mention that there is also a Guishan and an India in the middle. And before that, there was also some trade between Lu Ren and Anxi, and many aristocratic forces made a lot of money because of this, but why did they turn their faces and fight inexplicably?

In fact, Kasi Yili has explained this, that is, Lu Ren attacked Guishan, and as a friend of Guishan, of course, he had to send troops to help Guishan fight Lu Ren, so there was a small fleet of Anshan before to go to Rangoon to help in the war, and then Lu Ren and Anxi formed a feud.

However, such an explanation does not relieve the aristocratic group. Even if Kath Elly has a point, these guys who are intent on making trouble for Kath Elly have to pick bones in the eggs. Because in their opinion, the relationship between Anxi and Lu Ren is not a mortal enemy, although they helped Guishan beat Lu Ren, but Anxie should only send an envoy to negotiate a judgment with Lu Ren, and then compensate Lu Ren with some money. But Kass Ellie had never done that.

On the other hand, Lu Ren's base was in East Asia and Southeast Asia, and although he had a feud with Anxi on the issue of Kushan, from a military point of view, it was a bit unreasonable to lead such a large army across the ocean to fight Anxi. In other words, if Lu Ren is a smart person, then he shouldn't be so sincere with Anxi, how can there be such a big hatred between them?

But what is Lu Ren's posture now? It was clear that he was going to drive his army to the land of rest! At this time, according to the understanding of these nobles in the East and the Han Dynasty in peace, the Han people in the East are not so ambitious, right? By the way, there were still a lot of contacts with Anxi during the Han Dynasty, so the aristocracy of Anxi had some understanding of the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty.

All in all, after analyzing the resting nobles, they all set their sights on one thing, that is, should there be such an endless situation between Anxi and Lu Ren, and why did it become such a situation? You must know that Rest and Rome have been fighting for hundreds of years, and they are not the same as stop-and-stop, stop-and-stop? There is still room for negotiation with a feud like Rome, why is it so stubborn when he arrives here in Lu Ren?

With such thoughts, coupled with the resentment of these nobles towards Wan'er caused by Wan'er's previous appearance, these people began to speculate whether there was something between Lu Ren and Wan'er...... What do you say when it comes to this? It can only be said that the speculation made by these people is really close to the truth of the matter.

However, these people are still only hiding in the dark, after all, Kass Eli is not ruthless to all the nobles and lords, and the emerging aristocratic circle supported by Kasy Eli not only supports Kasy Eli, but also has a reverence and worship for Wan'er like a religious believer.

Well, Wan'er was originally the "messenger of the gods" recognized by these people, and Wan'er played some "supernatural powers" in order to help Kasy Yili win over these emerging nobles, which made these emerging nobles die. So those guys who have different ideas in their hearts, just for now, except for doing some small actions in the dark and getting together to complain, they don't dare to make any other moves.

But! In this case, if these people are really caught by them, then it is difficult to say what kind of things they will do. And coincidentally, among these people there are so many hidden elements of the Sassanid family......
