Chapter 49 The Kingdom's Complicated Situation
“Can you see me if you have anything to do?”
Looking at Li Si's serious expression, he must have something serious to do. Yasen nodded and stood up.
“Go to my room?”
"good."
Li Si put the raincoat aside and followed Yasen directly to his room.
Although Ya'er and others were curious, they had no intention of eavesdropping. If Li Si was willing to talk to them, he wouldn't have gone into the room.
Yasen's room is on the east side of the first floor of the villa. In addition to a simple bed and wardrobe, there are many different styles of swords and armor neatly placed on the shelves nearby.
Yasen saw Li Si looking at the weapons and armor and said:
“This is a little hobby of mine. I like to collect these. Some of them are cast by the dwarf masters, and others are bought by me from other countries.”
Li Si nodded and verified that it was a costly hobby. Finally, he found that Yasen looked like a wealthy man.
“Stop talking, why do you want to see me so seriously?”
Yasen changed the topic and moved two chairs for Li Si to sit down.
"You also know that I rarely communicate with other nobles. If I want to ask something, I can only ask you."
Li Si said slowly, the person he thought of before was Yasen.
As the young master of Duke Harder's family, the top aristocrat in the Fes Kingdom, he naturally has an understanding of the general situation at the top of the kingdom.
As a teammate of the adventure group, during his contact with Yasen, Li Si felt that the future leader of the Golden Lion Knights in front of him was trustworthy.
“What do you want to know?”
Yasen is a little curious. Is there anything that cannot be learned through other means, so I can only ask other nobles?
"That's it. Do you know who among the nobles of the kingdom would want to trigger a foreign war if possible?"
Li Si carefully considered his words and spoke slowly to Yasen.
Yasen was shocked when he heard this. The usually calm young son of the Duke almost lost his temper.
“You know what you're talking about?”
Li Si's expression remained unchanged, he raised his head and stared at Yasen seriously, and said:
“I'm pretty sure what I'm talking about, can you tell me?”
Yasen raised his right hand and rubbed his temples. He had a headache. He really didn't expect Li Si to ask such a sensitive question.
To be honest, through recent contact and understanding, I feel that Li Si is a very worthy person to make friends with. Most of the rumors I have heard about Viscount Kane before are probably unrealistic and fictitious.
He is a low-key and calm genius!
Li Si asked me for help, and of course I was willing to provide as much help as I could.
This is the tradition of the Hard family.
Make fewer enemies and make more friends.
But being busy doesn't mean it's helpful!
If you say this kind of thing casually, it will bring big trouble to the Hard family.
But Li Si should not be such an obscure person.
Yasen raised his head and looked at Li Si's firm eyes, thought for a moment, and said:
“May I know why you say that?”
Li Si nodded and directly said what he had planned in advance:
"To be honest, I got news from other places that some people may want to trigger a war between the kingdom and other countries, so I want to know who in the kingdom has this tendency." "Is there such a thing?"
It's not that Yasen doesn't believe Li Si, it's actually that this continent has been peaceful for a long time. Under the mediation of the Church of the Gods, any conflicts and disputes between the kingdoms will be mediated in advance. There has not been a large-scale war of aggression for a long time.
The most recent skirmish was a thousand-man-level army confrontation on the border between the Kingdom of Fes and the Kingdom of Norton in the West a few years ago.
However, Li Si knew that after so many years, even with the mediation of the Church of the Gods, the accumulated conflicts and the demands of various kingdoms for development were like an ever-expanding explosive barrel, and all it needed was the last spark to detonate.
On the Yasen side, he knew that some nobles were dissatisfied. They felt that their development had been stagnant for many years and they urgently needed a new window for improvement.
Yassen didn't take some of the previous news seriously. After all, noble gentlemen complained about a lot of things, such as the recent operas not having any new ideas, or their children not being as good as themselves, and so on.
But when Li Si mentioned the possibility of war today, Yasen did not consider it, so he had to evaluate the probability of a war actually breaking out.
Li Si said in a very sure tone:
“This is the actual situation. The information I received is true and reliable, but I can't tell you the source of the information. You understand the specific reason.”
Yassen nodded. This may be related to the Kane family's heritage and resources. Naturally, he couldn't tell himself everything.
Thinking of this, Yasen couldn't sit still. He stood up and walked back and forth in the room, thinking rapidly in his mind.
After a while, Li Si thought that Yasen still had not made up his mind and planned to add more fuel to the fire.
At this moment, Yasen stopped and stood in front of the window with his back to Li Si, as if he was admiring the scene of a July thunderstorm outside the window.
Yasen faced the window and seemed to be talking to himself, but his voice reached Li Si's ears clearly.
“The Duke of Ram in the eastern part of the kingdom has always claimed that the kingdom should have its own outlet to the sea, and those Berdychs should not be allowed to earn a large amount of gold coins from the kingdom in vain.”
“Finance Minister Bradford Gitte said that tax growth has been unable to keep up with various kingdom expenditures, and new financial sources must be found.”
“The number of palace nobles in the kingdom is increasing, and the burden on the royal family is getting heavier and heavier. At the same time, the desire and demands of the palace nobles for owning territories are becoming stronger and stronger.”
Good guy, Yasen knows a lot.
Li Si listened and kept in mind that among these people there might be the mastermind behind the scenes.
Yasen turned his head and said to Li Si seriously:
"Only you can know these things yourself. You should know how much trouble it will cause if it spreads."
Li Si knew very well that talking casually before the matter was clarified would only cause trouble for himself and also arouse the vigilance of those behind the scenes.
“I know, thank you Yassen.”
Yasen thought for a while and said carefully:
"You have to treat this matter carefully. If you have any other news, you can come to me."
From Yasen's point of view, Li Si, as a marginalized person in the aristocratic circle, was able to obtain such crucial information. It seemed that his hidden power was not simple, and he was worthy of his deeper friendship.
Moreover, Yasen just realized that the intelligence that he had not cared about before was connected as a whole, and the cloud of war seemed to be covering the entire Kingdom of Fes and even the entire continent.
It seems that I need to go back and communicate with my father about this matter.
After all, as the king's confidant, his father should know more than himself.
Li Si nodded. Yasen's words were equivalent to a promise to himself, and he might give him limited help in this matter. This was already an unexpected surprise.
After all, Yasen is not a time traveler, so he cannot be as sure as himself that a war will break out in the future.
“I will pay attention to what you say recently, and I will notify you of any new news.”
“Okay, then I'll go back first!”
Li Si put on his raincoat, said hello to Yaer and the others, then went out and walked into the rain curtain.
I wish you all a happy National Day and thank you all for your support.
