Volume 3 Chapter 284 Thoughts of All Parties (3)
Rest in the royal city, a slum. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
The anxious vanilla is taking Wan'er all the way through this slum.
In the slums, there are always some discordant factors, and vanilla itself is a beauty, although Wan'er's appearance is not gorgeous, but it belongs to the type that looks very comfortable, and Wan'er's "modernist" lady's clothes are also full of exotic style for people who rest in peace. In short, Wan'er and Vanilla have attracted the covetous attention of many young people in the slums. I wanted to step forward and tease Wan'er and Vanilla, but looking at the few palace guards who followed Wan'er, these people had no guts.
"Sister Wan'er, it's ......"
Vanilla pointed uneasily to a dilapidated courtyard in front of her, which was a typical slum house in Rest, which was basically useless except to provide a place for people to shelter from the wind and rain and sleep. At this time, Vanilla, and possibly the guards who followed Wan'er, were a little puzzled by why Wan'er, who seemed to them to be extremely noble and simply like a goddess, thought of coming here. With Wan'er's identity and temperament, what is it, is it incompatible with such a place at all? Even Vanilla thinks that letting Wan'er come here is a little stained with Wan'er...... Well, I can't say it's dirty, it should be said that it's too much for Wan'er to lose a part.
Wan'er didn't mind this, and even subconsciously had an indescribable and inexplicable intimacy with the environment around the slum. In fact, when Lu Ren was in charge of Tuntian, Wan'er was by Lu Ren's side almost all the time, and how good was the living environment of the Tuntian refugees who were housed together at that time? Therefore, Wan'er has also lived in a bad environment for a long time, and she has long been accustomed to such a living environment and atmosphere.
Further, although Lu Ren and Wan'er had a good living environment in Xuchang City at that time, Lu Ren himself didn't like it, or a little hated it, for many reasons, to deal with those officials and scholars in the same residential area. Although Wan'er is not Lu Ren, Wan'er doesn't like to deal with those people, because it is easy for Wan'er to feel psychologically restrained and depressed, but she can relax her mood when dealing with the homeless people in Tuntian...... Well, this should be regarded as a kind of psychology of "people gather by like, and things by groups".
Although Wan'er doesn't have those memories now, that feeling still exists. And Wan'er now lives in the resting palace, but it is somewhat similar to the living environment in Xuchang City. Even brought it with it, but also made Wan'er feel more relaxed when she came to an environment like the slum.
So when Vanilla pointed out the dilapidated courtyard to Wan'er, Wan'er just smiled indifferently and let Vanilla pass. And although Vanilla was a little apprehensive, it was a good thing for her to go home and see it, so she rushed over and called the door. What follows is nothing more than some old-fashioned drama, and Vanilla's family is greatly surprised by the sudden return of Vanilla, after all, Vanilla has been sold into slavery. And then when I saw Wan'er, especially those palace guards...... Forget it, don't talk about it.
It's still a very old-fashioned drama. Vanilla will be sold into slavery, mainly because the old father is sick and has no money for treatment, and at this time Vanilla's father's illness has not yet recovered, or it should be said that according to their family conditions, if they sell five or six more vanilla, the money they get can barely cure the disease.
For such a situation, the vanilla family is also helpless. But just when the family was worried, Wan'er came to the sickbed and stretched out her hand, and said softly: "Don't worry about it first, let me see." β
Seeing Wan'er's snow-white hand stretched out, Vanilla hurriedly stopped her, because she couldn't let Wan'er get her hands dirty. But Wan'er didn't care, and after gently pulling out the vanilla, she pressed her finger on the vein of her father...... In fact, Wan'er doesn't know medical skills, but Wan'er has props on her body. Shirley also has the same thing, but the difference is that Shirley really has very good medical skills.
Don't talk about this, just say that after a while, Wan'er frowned slightly, but there was a smile on her face. To be honest, vanilla's father's illness is not a serious illness in modern times, but it will be more troublesome in those days. And Wan'er frowned, just thinking about what medicinal herbs could be found to treat it with the current conditions. There are some things, and Wan'er doesn't want to exaggerate too much.
Just thought about it for a while, but a simple and convenient prescription popped up in Wan'er's mind, but it made Wan'er feel a little inexplicable. It's been a few years since she came to rest, and Wan'er actually didn't treat people less, but because she wanted to take advantage of the rest royal family, Wan'er entered the palace of resting very early, so the patients she encountered were basically nobles, and where would the nobles not be able to afford good medicine? In other words, Wan'er can be sure that she has never prescribed such a cheap prescription, but why does this prescription make Wan'er feel very familiar?
If Lu Ren was present, Lu Ren would say Wan'er, of course you are familiar with it. In fact, this disease of vanilla's father was a common disease among the homeless people when Lu Ren was in Tuntian, and of course Lu Ren would find a way to deal with it, and this prescription was made up by Lu Ren. At that time, Wan'er and Lu Ren didn't know how many pairs of such medicines they had helped Lu Ren make, so it was strange that they would be unfamiliar. It's just that Wan'er at this time still can't remember those things at the beginning.
Inexplicably, Wan'er's hand didn't stop, and handed the prescription to Vanilla. Vanilla didn't dare to leave Wan'er's side, so she handed over the relevant matters to her younger siblings. Wan'er saw that Vanilla's younger siblings were a little young, and she was a little uneasy, so she instructed a guard to follow her, otherwise it would be impossible to say what would happen in this kind of slum.
Next, she chatted with Vanilla for a few words, and then looked at Vanilla's home, Wan'er's eyebrows wrinkled again. In fact, Vanilla originally had two older brothers, but he was conscripted during the war with Rome, and there has been no news so far, so he can't save it. If it weren't for that, Vanilla's family wouldn't have become what it is now. In those days, it was needless to say what young and strong labor was like.
For this kind of thing, Wan'er could only sigh softly. After a few more small talks, Wan'er's eyes fell on the other poor people outside. After a little thought, Wan'er instructed the guards to move a broken table out, and then asked the guards to inform the poor people in the slum that they would help everyone see a doctor for free today. After thinking about it again, Wan'er also gave a reason:
"You say that King Casal and Regent Kasili care about the common people, so let me treat you for your illness."
Well, there is no need to say much about the rest of the matter, anyway, Wan'er was busy with vanilla until the evening before setting out on the way home. While making many poor people remember Wan'er, Wan'er also learned a lot of things from the poor, most of which was about the topic of war.
Back in the palace, Wan'er put aside the herbs that had been full of adoration for herself, and sat alone at the window again, and her mind was full of the poor people's talk about war, some very heavy topics.
After a long time, Wan'er suddenly realized that she wanted to talk to someone at this moment, and this person ......
"I don't know if I can get through, and I don't know if he is still on the battlefield in Chang'an...... Give it a try. β
I found the prop and tried to call it a few times, but I didn't expect it to really connect. In fact, at this time, Lu Ren had already returned to the landing craft parked in Shangyong with Zhao Yu, who had escaped from Chang'an City, and Shirley notified Lu Ren after receiving Wan'er's call.
The communication was connected, but they didn't know how to speak for a long time. After a long time, Lu Rencai grabbed his head and asked, "Wan'er, you are looking for me, is there something wrong?" β
Wan'er was silent for a moment and responded, "It doesn't matter if you arrive...... By the way, I received the news here that the Western Regions Alliance Army was repulsed outside Chang'an City, is it true? β
Lu Ren nodded: "It's true." But don't ask if it's superfluous, you and I are in a hostile relationship, and I can't say anything more about this kind of military matter. β
Wan'er shook her head: "I don't want to ask, and I can't control the affairs over there." β
Lu Ren said: "Just to ask this?" β
Wan'er was silent for a while, and then shook her head: "No." In fact...... Lu Ren, do you like war? β
Lu Ren was stunned, then lowered his head and thought for a long time before saying, "It's really hard for me to answer this question." Let's put it this way, but all men have basically dreamed of how to be heroic on the battlefield of blood and fire, and this is the innate nature of men, or male creatures, and I am no exception. However, as a person gradually grows up, many immature ideas will gradually become mature, and it is difficult to say what will become. β
Wan'er said: "I don't want to ask others, I just want to ask if you like war?" β
Lu Ren shook his head: "I don't like war, at least now I don't like war." But I am well aware that many things can only be solved by war. For example...... For example, there seems to be no other way to do it than to go to war. β
Wan'er was silent.
Lu Ren glanced at Wan'er a few times and sighed lightly: "To be honest, I don't know how much Wan'er has changed now. But when you asked me that sentence just now, I vaguely felt that if I hadn't miscalculated, in fact, many things would have been out of your control a long time ago. Not to mention that you can't stop the war in order to get revenge on me, and even if you want to stop it now, I'm afraid there is nothing you can do. Once many things are started, the rest of the things will be unstoppable. β
Wan'er didn't speak. Wan'er actually hates war very much, especially after walking around the slum today, and hearing a lot of heavy topics about war, that feeling of hating war has become stronger and stronger. But at the same time, the idea of "revenge" was too strong, so strong that Wan'er would insist on doing something. And the conflict between these two and the contradiction between the two made Wan'er's heart very uncomfortable.
ββ¦β¦ Lu Ren, can I ask you to die? β
"What!?"
"For if you die, I will have no vengeance; And if I don't have revenge, then I don't have to insist on provoking some wars. β
Lu Ren couldn't laugh or cry: "I really don't know what naΓ―ve stupid things you are saying, are you telling others to die like this?" Also, if you really think that I'm okay if I'm dead, then it's not just naΓ―ve, it's more 'stupid'. I'm here, maybe I can stop something, stop some war; But if I die, God knows what will happen! β
Wan'er looked at Lu Ren and smiled unconsciously, because although Wan'er couldn't tell why, she felt that Lu Ren didn't lie to her.
Next, the two people didn't know what to say, and the two people looked at each other's eyes, and their feelings were the same complicated to the extreme, and time passed little by little in the wordless gaze of the two people......

At this moment, in Chang'an City, Cao Pi is entertaining guests. And these guests, to be honest, really made Cao Pi's heart very depressed, because they were all Yizhou children sent to Chang'an by Lu Ren.
In fact, the banquet held by Cao Pi was a farewell banquet. Because the Battle of Chang'an successfully repelled the Western Regions coalition army, the next thing to fight was to counterattack and sweep, in other words, Cao Pi had already grasped the initiative on the battlefield. It was precisely because Lu Ren knew that this would be the case next, so he let Zhao Yu leave early, so as not to suffer from Cao Pi's wolf claws. As for these Yizhou children, Lu Ren asked Zhao Yu to leave a message for them, asking them to return to Yizhou after the Battle of Chang'an...... Of course, if you think you can mix up an official or a half-position here in Cao Pi, Lu Ren will also follow you. Everyone has their own ambitions, and it is useless to force them.
However, few of these Yizhou disciples are really willing to mix here in Cao Pi. Not to mention that many of them have parents who are still in Yizhou, let's just say that their generation is almost all people who have received Lu Ren's favor. Let's put it this way, these people are all between 20 and 30 years old, and when they arrived in Yizhou more than 10 years ago, they were refugees, and it would be nice to have something to eat.
But because of Lu Ren, they went to school and were admitted to school, as for these Yizhou children, Lu Ren asked Zhao Yu to leave a message for them, asking them to return to Yizhou after the Battle of Chang'an...... Of course, if you think you can mix up an official or a half-position here in Cao Pi, Lu Ren will also follow you. Everyone has their own ambitions, and it is useless to force them.
