In the six months since Terrence left, Vanessa quickly took the financial power of Sleeping Dragon City into her own hands. The inactive Grand Duke Kirk was invisibly hollowed out and lost half of his control rights.

At the same time, she gradually cultivated her henchmen. The four treasurers were all the queen's people, the Wang family accountant and the Wang family measurer, and even the heads of the three mints were all nominated by Vanessa. In addition, nine out of ten are Selangor Wai's henchmen, including harboursmen, tax collectors, customs officers, wool agents, road toll collectors, shipping masters, wine agents, etc. Most of them came from ordinary families, including the sons of merchants, minor nobles, and even foreigners, but in terms of their achievements, they were far superior to their predecessors.

No one ever questioned these appointments, so why bother? The queen used every sum of money to repair the houses or build the river embankment, she had no vassal princes, no many servants, no castle in the city, and she was now even more than the king, and was deeply loved among the commoners of the city of Sleeping Dragon. Everyone loves the little queen. This is what Reina heard from the taverns of the lower town, where prostitutes and drunkards toasted Vanessa, and even the thieves profited from it.

However, Vanessa was still uneasy, she was still worried about the event that would touch Terrence's bottom line, and if she crossed the line, a magic or someone would come to punish her. And with my own knowledge of Terrence, it will be a merciless disaster!

What kind of bottom line would that be? Vanessa thought.

I've been careful. At the moment I'm only touching on the finances, and it's not much different from what Terrence had in mind, and I'm going to be okay with each other; If Terrence does not return for a year, he must not be satisfied with just a corner of the financial power, then, in terms of his own ambition, will reach out to the imperial guards and the army as a whole.

Vanessa woke up suddenly! Terrence's bottom line is military power!

It seems that this old fox has long guessed that he will not be honest as a queen, he must have already arranged for Yu Lian and his subordinates, once he attacked the imperial guard, he will ruthlessly exterminate himself and Xue Lanwei. No wonder Yu Lian always looks at himself with respect and pity, both love and fear, it turns out that he is struggling with this!

Vanessa, who had figured it out, was relieved and let out a sigh of relief. She summoned Reina and consulted with him on what to do.

"Yu Lian's dual identity as the captain of the guard and the heir of the ancient family is really difficult to move him." Reyna also had a headache for this person. "Can Brant help in Winterfall with this?"

Vanessa shook her head, "I don't want him to worry about me. She glanced up at Reina, "Don't get me wrong, I don't think he can help us either." ”

"What about Mees? When is Meate coming back? ”

"Meese told him not to come back so early," Vanessa leaned against the window, sipping a glass of sour wine, which was best enjoyed before dinner, "and he was still on the front line to distract Terrence. ”

"Well, we're on our own." Reina thought for a moment, "Why not think differently?" If we can't infiltrate Xue Lanwei into the imperial guards, why don't we let them consume it on their own, and then they will inevitably find a way to replenish their personnel, and we won't have a chance? ”

"Great idea!" Vanessa's eyes lit up and she put down the wine glass in her hand, "I can completely provoke York and lead him to assassinate me, and then the royal guards will stop me!" ”

"No, that's too risky." Reina looked at Vanessa deeply, and then made another hypothesis, "We can take advantage of the feud between Yu Lian and Kirk to provoke a dispute between the two families again, and Yu Lian's imperial guards will definitely not sit idly by." ”

"It's good that they don't suspect me." Vanessa looked at Reina, "It's just that you've suffered you, and you're going to do something disgraceful for me." ”

"I said I would do anything for you." Reina hugged Vanessa into his arms.

"Hopefully this is the last one." Vanessa looked out the window at the moonlight.

****************************************************************************************

The news of Miss Kirk's body being stolen spread in the market, and what was even more outrageous was that someone actually saw Miss Kirk alive at the house of Yu Lian, the head of the imperial guard! It was as vivid as if someone had seen it.

As such words became more and more evil, and the more they were spread, the more demagogic they became, so Archduke Kirk could not sit still, and at last sent for someone to dig up his daughter's grave - Miss Kirk's body was indeed gone!

In fact, it was Reina who used his own magic to hide the young lady's body, and outsiders just couldn't see her. At this point, the Grand Duke of Kirk was completely furious, and he sent people to block all the exits to Julien's mansion, clamoring for the return of his daughter's body; On the side of the Royal Forest Iron Guard, Yu Lian's subordinates did not show weakness, they went around behind the Grand Duke of Kirk, and came to a counter-encirclement, and the double-layered men and horses were facing each other, and the swords were tense.

At this critical moment, Reina stealthily threw the long dress worn by Miss Kirk from the Yulian Mansion from the wall of the Yulian Mansion, triggering the war of the century.

Archduke Kirk was the first to attack, scolding and rushing to the gate guarded by the Kingsguard. He lunged forward, stabbing weakly with the first stab in his arm, but the blow was not enough to penetrate the Kingsguard's defenses. At the last moment, one of the guards raised his sword and swung the duke's sword aside. Yu Lian tried to defend himself, but all the words were like a scream in the duke's ears, and Yu Lian was speechless, and repeatedly avoided the duke's knife.

The deathmatch begins.

The Duke took a step forward, straight to Yu Lian, and then another, and his knife suddenly changed direction, stabbing left and right, each time just right, and then pulling back. He took two steps forward like this, then went back and forth, and went back and forth for several rounds. At first, Julien only dodged with his back, but this time he didn't retreat until the invisible Reina slashed him in the left shoulder with Kirk's knife, he slowly took two more steps forward, and when his opponent raised his knife to block, he stabbed his sword out.

They face each other, their swords tangled together, and the handles pressed lower and lower. At this time, Kirk's soldiers and the Kingsguard were also in battle.

The two main characters quickly attacked and defended for a few rounds. Finally, the young captain of the guard suddenly roared and swept his unbalanced opponent far away
