After a period of time.
The stone steps leading from the stage to the starship were already brightly lit, and a group of guards from the Grand Duke's residence held torches to illuminate the place. There were also many teaching soldiers from the Catholic Church present, patrolling the scene under the leadership of Alexander, and conducting reconnaissance. The trace of the criminal who dared to assassinate the Grand Duke's distinguished guest.
However, such a bold gangster naturally has a certain level of strength. Several searches by the teaching soldiers and the Grand Duke's residence found nothing, but the king of Simeng actually waved his hand and gave up.
"Since there are no casualties, there is no need to pursue anymore."
Han Dongwen waved his hand. The official from the Grand Duke's residence who came to report was stunned when he heard this and turned to look at the Grand Duke beside him.
Tilda nodded slightly, and the official straightened his back immediately, nodded and turned to leave.
"Can you bring trouble to the church right away?"
When there were no other people around, Han Dongwen stood next to Tilda, looked at the group of people working around, and asked softly.
Tilda looked at him, but her eyes were not as cold as before, and she replied in a low voice: "No, although all fools now know that it is the church that is causing trouble, but it is too sensitive to find trouble now."
Han Dongwen nodded thoughtfully: "Well... in that case, let's let this matter go as it is. If Simeng makes a fuss again, it will be your Grand Duke's fault again."
Not long ago, in Prince Gao's Seven Consciousness Heart King Realm, Han Dongwen made a decision that he had never expected in advance.
Not to borrow the sword of the church to attack the Grand Duke’s residence to benefit Simeng—but to stand on the side of the Grand Duke’s residence!
Naturally, this was Prince Gao's instruction.
And the promise given by Prince Gao was naturally something that Han Dongwen could not refuse - that is, in a few months, when the kings fell, there would be a chance to escape the disaster and know the truth.
Of course, Han Dongwen was not sure whether he would actually fulfill this promise.
However, from the fact that it was revealed to Han Dongwen that the kings would fall, Han Dongwen at least knew that Prince Gao was not a vain wolf, but did know something real that he did not know.
As for the benefits to Simeng...
He raised his head and looked at the Grand Duke's back, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
The imperial merchants who were originally losing money increased their prices by 50%, while the private merchants who were originally private merchants were exempted from tax by 40%. Within the five cities at the foot of Morne-Bailan Mountain, the border garrison was relaxed, allowing Simeng people to enter the five cities.
Compared with the treaties between Simeng and West Asia in previous years, this is undoubtedly the greatest concession that can be operated in private.
On the surface, everything remains unchanged. At least in the eyes of the people of West Asia, the Grand Duke is still the figure who can lead the country to grow stronger, and Tilda does not intend to destroy the people's expectations - as long as the big day is over, The fanaticism against the church in the country has lessened, and these losses must be recovered from the church.
The West Asian prisoners escorted on the star ship will be secretly handed over to the Grand Duke's residence as witnesses to avoid falling into the hands of the church.
"So, when will the church become less sensitive?" Han Dongwen asked.
Tilda turned her head and looked at the King of Simeng, whom she didn't think highly of at first. At this time, she realized that the helpless and weak Han Dongwen in front of her was not a character she had imagined she could ignore at will. .
"When the old year passes and the New Year arrives, all the Catholic churches across the country will hold a mass to help people do good deeds in the name of the Lord. Naturally, it is not easy to touch them at this time, but this year..."
Tilda turned her head and looked at the priests below: "This year is High Mass, and the Pope will be handed over, so we need to be especially cautious."
"High Mass..."
Han Dongwen nodded as if he understood. Like every player who pays more attention to operations and values, he only had some impressions of content that was too background. When he was practicing on the original map of the Principality of West Asia, he did have some impressions. The background of many events comes from the ascension of the new pope.
At that time, Han Dongwen just thought that the archduke had left, and the new pope came to power and began to implement the unity of Orthodoxy. It was in the background of the game, and he did not think too much about it. But now, combined with the various actions of the Catholic Church, it is obvious that they have a plan. Unfortunately, the biggest culprit is the new pope who is about to take office.
"Then, if you are relieved, please go to bed early. Tomorrow we will make up for the signatures that we failed to make tonight and take you to visit Talis Parish."
Tilda sighed softly, turned around and said to Han Dongwen.
After listening to her words, Han Dongwen nodded, suddenly seemed to remember something, and said again: "By the way, there is one more question."
Tilda hesitated: "You say."
"His Royal Highness the Prince said that you and I are already doomed to suffer disaster in the future. When he told you that at that time, why did you believe him?"
This is a very real problem.
Han Dongwen will not talk about it for now - he has seen the PV of the game, and has played nearly three major versions before traveling back in time. He has too much information to prove that what Prince Gao said is true.
But what about Tilda?
A person with her personality would never have access to the information Han Dongwen had. Why would she believe what Prince Gao said and side with him?
Tilda raised her eyes to look at Han Dongwen and said softly: "Han, maybe you are not a very stupid person."
Not knowing how to answer, Han Dongwen could only smile.
"The Grand Duke of the Principality of West Asia did not side with Prince Gao."
Tilda stood up straight, turned her head and gently raised her hand to hold it. The ice gun on the steps that was constantly exuding a cold breath shattered into a piece of crystal powder. Countless tiny fragments of powder flickered with the light of the candle next to it. , like the waves of a galaxy, slowly flew back to Tilda's hand on the wind, like a bracelet made of light and dust, slowly rotating around her arm.
"The Grand Duke has never stood on Prince Gao's side."
She repeated: "But... there is only one way to escape from Prince Yu's hands."
"Yu?"
Han Dongwen was a little dumbfounded.
Tilda raised her eyes and looked at him, and the corners of her mouth turned up for a rare moment: "Okay, these are my own affairs, you don't need to know too much."
She raised her hand and gently combed her silver hair: "I can understand if you don't believe His Highness Prince Gao, but the deal we are proposing at the moment is not harmful to you. I think you have no reason to refuse."
Tilda paused and looked in the direction of Xingzhou: "Such a big thing happened tonight. You should take care of your two princesses. I heard that in Simeng, concubines are your property and not your companions. Although I find it difficult to agree, even if it is property, the more beautiful the gems are, the more they need careful care. Let’s see you tomorrow.”
"Good night, Han."
She waved her hand and did not fly up into the air again. Instead, she gently opened her legs and led her men down the steps.
Han Dongwen looked at her back, sighed heavily, and turned towards Xingzhou.
Good night?
Laughing to death, there is no peace at all. Even if the matter between Simeng and Xia comes to an end, the internal affairs of Simeng are still stuck in Han Dongwen's heart.
"Your Highness."
He was greeted by Zhong Lilin who had returned to the boat and was waiting for him.
Han Dongwen stepped onto the deck of the starship and glanced around: "Where is Li Zai? You two come to the main portroom together."
To Han Dongwen's expectation, Zhong Lilin suddenly bowed his head and said, "Your Highness, if possible, I would like to speak to Your Highness first."
He looked Zhong Lilin up and down and nodded slowly:
"good."
