The resting palace in a few days.

Vanilla, who had just returned from the front line in Hormuz, was on her way to where Kasili was.

Speaking of which, Hassanke's injuries have not healed yet, and Vanilla should come back later. However, one is that Hassan Ke was not seriously injured at that time, and after being treated with vanilla, he was no longer in serious trouble; The second is that something like that happened to Vanilla, and Hassan didn't dare to let Vanilla stay on the front line anymore without that necessity. If you do something like this again, then Hassan will die of pain? So seeing that the situation was about the same, he hurriedly arranged for someone to send the herbs back to the King of Rest City.

I don't talk about these too much, just say that Vanilla, as Wan'er's maid, should be the first time she returns to the palace to see Wan'er, but the situation in Anxi has not been very good recently, so Wan'er often goes to discuss some things with Cass Eli, and when Vanilla just came back, Wan'er happened to be at Cass Eli, so Vanilla was going to Cass Eli at this time.

After a brief briefing, Vanilla meets Wan'er and Kasily, who are discussing something. When Wan'er saw that Vanilla was back, she smiled at Vanilla gently, and then Kasily said with a little enthusiasm: "Vanilla is back!" By the way, what happened to Hassanki's injury? ”

Vanilla is also looking back on Wan'er and Kasan Eli, so she said that Hassanke's injury is no longer serious, and Kassankel breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and said in her heart that you Hasankein, don't kneel at this time, otherwise you really won't be able to pick any suitable candidates to take your position in a short time.

Wan'er glanced at Vanilla a few more times when the two were talking, and then asked in a cold but caring tone: "Vanilla, your face is a little pale, and your body is a little weak, what's wrong with you?" Is something wrong? ”

How could vanilla not know Wan'er's ability? Busy said: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just that I'm tired on the front line these days." There were a lot of wounded soldiers on the front line, so I took it upon myself to help many soldiers treat them, so I was a little tired. General Hassan was afraid that I would be tired, so he asked me to come back early. ”

Before Wan'er could say anything, Cass Eli spoke first: "Yo! That's really tiring for you. ”

Saying that, Kasi Yili turned to Wan'er again: "Lord Divine Envoy, I think Vanilla is really tired, anyway, she doesn't need to be busy with anything for a while, why don't you let her rest for a few days first?" ”

Wan'er nodded, and also said to Vanilla: "I have some nourishing qi and blood things there, you know where to put them, go get some for yourself to warm up your body first." If anything, I'll send someone to call you. ”

Vanilla nodded hurriedly, and Cass Eli also asked someone to bring something over to reward Vanilla. Vanilla hesitated for a moment after thanking him, and then said cautiously: "Lord Regent, Lord Divine Envoy, I was on the front line this time because I helped General Hassan Keyin to heal his injuries, so when I came back, General Hassan Keyin insisted on sending me some property, and I, I can't refuse......

Those were actually the price that Hassan took out to plug Vanilla's mouth. As mentioned earlier, in the five days that vanilla disappeared, Hassan Keyin did not dare to report the matter to the public. Later, when Vanilla returned, Hassan Keyin, of course, had to give Vanilla a thousand instructions, and then take a lot of good things out and plug Vanilla's mouth. Now that Vanilla has seen Wan'er and Kasili, she naturally has to bring this matter over according to Hassan Keyin's instructions, otherwise Vanilla will not be able to explain it.

Wan'er didn't speak, but Kasi Yili waved her hand again and again: "Hey! How old is it? You went to the front line to help him treat his injuries so hard, and it was human nature for him to give you some gifts in return, no big deal. Since it's all given to you, you can keep the vanilla, it's no big deal, and you don't have to worry about anything. Okay, okay, I still have a lot of things to discuss with the Divine Envoy, so you can go back and rest first. ”

Vanilla replied very carefully, took out another letter and sent it over: "This is what General Hassan Keen asked me to bring back to the regent. ”

Kasily took it and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, go back and rest." ”

Vanilla answered, bowed, and withdrew. Kasy Yili looked at Vanilla's departing figure, turned her head to Wan'er and smiled: "Vanilla, this little girl is too honest, but I just like her honesty." ”

Wan'er nodded, didn't say much, just asked, "What did Hassan Keyin's letter say?" ”

Kass Yili unfolded the letter, and after reading it for a while, she frowned: "Hassan Ke said in the letter that Lu Ren's offensive on the northern shore of the Strait of Hormuz is becoming more and more fierce day by day, but he can see that Lu Ren has not done his best. If he continues to fight according to the current situation, he is confident that he can hold on for a while longer, but if Lu Ren attacks with all his might, then he doesn't know how long he can hold on. In a word, he hopes that I can send reinforcements as soon as possible. ”

Saying that, Kasily shook her head: "I also want to quickly increase the number of troops to him, but the war on Palcis's side, I am afraid that I will not be able to deal with the Sassanid family in a short time, and I dare not move the troops in Armenia." ”

Wan'er also frowned: "The troops in Armenia must not move. As far as I know, Lu Ren once sent that Lu Lan to Rome, so it can basically be concluded that there is probably an alliance agreement between Lu Ren and Rome. Now that Lu Ren has reached the entrance to the Persian Gulf, and the offensive is becoming fierce day by day but he is not doing his best, it is likely that he is waiting for the Roman side to send troops to attack Armenia, making it difficult for you to take care of each other. At that time, it will be time for him to attack with all his might, right? ”

Kasi Yili knew these things in her heart, so don't look at the fact that she was still kind to Vanilla just now, in fact, it was just giving Wan'er face, and it was a little flattering. But in fact, she was already depressed: "Lord God, look at the current situation, is there any better way?" ”

Wan'er shook her head silently: "I'm not good at military and political affairs, and if I come up with ideas, I'm causing trouble for you, so you still have to think of your own way." But if I insist on what I say, I want to scold Hassankeyin, if it weren't for his carelessness in underestimating the enemy before, which greatly damaged the naval fleet at hand, where would Lu Ren be able to hit the Persian Gulf? At least at least, it's impossible to call at this time. ”

Kass Eli also lost her temper in an instant. Things are just like Wan'er said, if the combat strength of the Anxi Navy is still there, not to mention more, it is still no problem to hold the entrance to the Persian Gulf and make it difficult for Lu Ren to advance. On the other hand, why did Lu Ren spend so much time and energy at that time to completely annihilate the Navy in Kalihet? Isn't it because of the problems at this level that it takes so much effort?

It's just that it's here, and there's no point in talking about it anymore. And in general, the fault is not Wan'er, it is the personnel mistakes of Kass Yili herself that led to the current result, where can Kasy Yili blame Wan'er?

As a politician, in the current situation, Kasy Eli inevitably had the idea of wanting to negotiate peace with Lu Ren;

But as a woman, she is like a woman who stays in a high position, and she is actually very insecure in her heart, so deep down she wants to have her own leaning on and a thigh that she can hold. And Wan'er is such a leaning and thick thigh for Cass Eli, which causes Kasi Eli to dare not tell Wan'er the idea of peace talks.

In fact, this is the case, and many people will have this kind of concern when they encounter things. Now Kasi Yili can go to negotiate peace with Lu Ren regardless of Wan'er's wishes, but the result is definitely that Wan'er will abandon her. And Cass Eli can have the current power and status, which is inseparable from Wan'er. In other words, Kasi Yili has a considerable dependence on Wan'er.

Yes, after the peace talks, maybe Lu Ren could pat his ass and leave with a lot of the property compensated for the rest, but after Lu Ren left, Wan'er left again, who can Kasi Yili rely on? And there is another point to pay attention to, that is, Wan'er's influence in the circle of resting nobles, once Wan'er abandons Cass Eli, will the rest nobles of the gang still surround Cass Elily like now? And once Cassly lost the support of the resting nobles...... Then hehehehe.

In addition to these, of course, there are other factors, such as Cass Yili also counting on Wan'er to make her a hundred and eighty years younger, which is the biggest temptation in a woman's life.

In short, the current Kass Yili is actually a little difficult to ride a tiger, so she can only follow Wan'er's train of thought. Vaguely, Cass Eli also realized that if she continued like this, she would probably embark on a road of no return, but at this time, was there any other way than to go on like this?

After discussing with Wan'er for a while, Wan'er went back to rest when she saw that it was almost there, leaving Cass Eli in the room with a depressed sigh. Seeing that it was not early, I just ate something and then went for a walk in the garden to breathe.

As he walked like this, he suddenly saw Vanilla sitting in a corner of the garden in a daze. Cass Eli was upset at this moment, and was about to find someone to talk to, so she called Vanilla over and asked Vanilla to accompany her for a walk.

Vanilla didn't mean to wait here for Cass Eli. Although the current vanilla has some different purposes, she has just come back, and some of the situations have not yet been figured out, so how can she dare to move easily? Sitting in a corner of the garden in a daze, I was thinking of a way.

At this time, Cass Eli was called over to accompany her for a walk, and Vanilla didn't dare to say anything, just lowered her head and stayed by Cass Eli's side. Cass Eli asked Vanilla about the front line because she had just returned from the front, and they asked and answered each other.

After chatting like this for a while, Vanilla finally mustered up some courage and asked with a little tentativeness: "Lord Regent, some words may not be for people like me to ask, but I still want to ask you, do you think this war, if it continues like this, we will rest in peace......"

Kasy Yili waved her hand to interrupt Vanilla's words, and looked around very carefully, seeing that the attendants were still far behind, and should not be able to hear her words with Vanilla, she shook her head lightly and said, "Vanilla, this is indeed not something you should ask, so you better not ask." ”

She's an old fritter in politics. Vanilla's question just now, if it was asked by some other people, it would be easy to say, but if it was Vanilla who asked, Cass Eli would have to be careful, because Cass Eli was also afraid that Vanilla was sent by Wan'er to inquire about her tone.

Although vanilla is relatively simple, people are not so stupid, and before coming back, Lu Ren also specially conducted a "surprise training" for vanilla, so that vanilla can understand more things. So at this moment, Vanilla didn't ask anything after seeing Cass Eli's reaction, but walked with her head down, and said in a low voice: "My lord, I don't know much about things, so I don't dare to say anything." But I think it will be dangerous for us to rest in peace if this battle continues like this. ”

Kasy Eli couldn't figure out the bottom of the vanilla for a while, so she didn't dare to say anything here, so she just touched the vanilla's head and smiled: "So what? Will the many warriors who are at rest be afraid of our enemies? ”

Vanilla looked up at Cass Eli, and after thinking for a long time, she said, "My lord, as far as I know, many nobles have the idea of wanting to make peace with Lu Ren, but they don't dare to say it, and then someone wants me to go and listen to the tone of the divine envoy. It's just, just your lordship, you know, how dare I tell the Divine Envoy about these things? ”

Kasy Yili was slightly stunned: "You know everything?" ”

Vanilla nodded silently.

Kasily couldn't help but observe the vanilla very carefully, quite carefully, but she didn't even dare to raise her head for half a minute. Vanilla was not so stupid, and at this time she vaguely guessed that Cass Eli should have moved something, so she wanted to make sure that she was credible. But vanilla didn't know how to deal with this, so she could only lower her head lower and lower.

Just as Vanilla had guessed, Cass Eli had a different mind at this time. As mentioned earlier, with the current situation in peace, this battle is really a bit unbeatable, so Kasi Yili has long had the idea of trying to talk to Lu Renhe, but she didn't dare to make a move because she was worried about Wan'er's reaction.

And at this time, if the vanilla is a little loose here, and the vanilla can help Cass Eli to influence Wan'er, it would be great for Cass Eli. So at this time, even if it was a bit of a risk for Cass Eli to anger Wan'er, she really wanted to give it a try......
