The vacation was coming soon, and Wu Lai was a little worried about how to arrange it. The reason was that he didn't want to leave Helen, but Helen didn't want to go anywhere and said she just wanted to stay in Assyria. It had been like this for two years in a row.

Wu Lai wanted to stay in the Green Building to accompany Helen, and then find an opportunity to take their relationship a step further, but it was as if fate was deliberately against him - Siban Oak's letter arrived just one day before the holiday, and the content of the letter made Wu Lai immediately feel that he might have to go back...

Sibanok's letter mainly mentioned three things.

The first thing is that recently, Antony, the governor of the Seneca City-State, and Ivan, the second lieutenant of the Third Legion stationed in the Seneca City-State Army, visited the White Stone Building twice and asked the White Stone Building to set aside some rooms for low-level officers in the garrison. In addition, they also asked the White Stone Building to demolish all buildings in the area where the arsenal and printing workshop were located within a time limit, saying that they wanted to build a permanent military camp. After Mikoyan decisively stepped forward, Ivan submitted the application for building a military camp to the legion. According to the rules, the Third Legion will spare no effort to support Ivan and inform the temple and the Supreme Council of Nobles about the matter. In other words, if Wu Lai does not make some useful efforts, he will have to consider relocating those workshops.

The second thing is related to Lady Leah. This lonely woman enjoyed the generous provision of Baishilou while leisurely displaying her beauty. Then, more than half a month ago, she successfully "captured" the garrison supply officer Chek, or it could be said that Chek "captured" Lady Leah.

The third thing is that the glass making technology has matured, and it is time to consider building a glass workshop.

When Wu Lai finished reading the letter, he was a little upset. He hated other people's coveting, just as he hated the ill intentions between people. At the same time, he was also unwilling to see his former stepmother, Mrs. Leah, doing something that brought shame to his alcoholic father. Although he was dead, Wu Lai still felt that he had the responsibility to maintain his dignity.

In addition to the above, the maturity of glass craftsmanship means that Woolley can once again set off a wave of craze in the Assyrian territory. Of course, this time, Woolley will not build the glass workshop in Seneca City.

After asking Klee to contact him about purchasing a suitable house, Wu Lai hurried to find Lini. There were some things that perhaps only this old man could help him with. Although Mikoyan was closer to Wu Lai in cooperation and personal relationship, Wu Lai knew that Mikoyan could not go against the will of the temple. In other words, if the temple ordered Mikoyan not to interfere with the garrison's occupation of land for building new military camps, then there would not be much Mikoyan could do.

After Wu Lai explained his purpose, Lini pondered for a long time, and then sighed softly. Seeing him like this, Wu Lai sighed quietly in his heart...

On the first day of the holiday, Ye Renwu and Odo went back to their own homes. In fact, after the clay tablet work was completed, Ye Renwu and Odo returned to the academy for food and accommodation, but Wu Lai still kept their rooms. Every now and then, the two would meet up to go back to the Green Building to eat hot pot - who said that Wu Lai was the only place in the entire Assyrian city that had hot pot? Helen originally wanted to stay in the academy, but she couldn't resist Wu Lai's persistence, so she also stayed in the Green Building obediently. Every morning, Monica drove a carriage to send her to the entrance of the academy, and in the evening, Monica took her back to the Green Building.

In fact, Helen would rather have Wu Lai drive the car, so that she could walk into the college with Wu Lai shoulder to shoulder, talking and laughing. After finishing a day's study, they could return to the Green Building shoulder to shoulder, talking and laughing again.

But this was obviously impossible to achieve in the short term. The Supreme Noble Council approved the application that was ostensibly from Rini but secretly from Woolley - to add the content of the "Assyrian Book", that is, to print all the documentary materials after the "Assyrian Book" according to the specifications and standards of the "Assyrian Book", and then put the parchments that had been circulated for hundreds of years aside.

Woolley told Helen that this was a slow job because the workload was several times that of clay tablet work, and at the same time, its profits would be several times that of clay tablet work - the controllers of the Supreme Noble Council would not be short of gold coins, what they wanted was to record themselves in history.

The night before returning to Seneca City, Guru came to the Green Building. After stopping his sister Loli from going back to Seneca City with Wu Lai, Guru asked seriously, "Do you want me to accompany you back?"

"No, I can do all these things myself." Woolley replied with a smile, "If I were so useless, Helen would still be sitting here."

Helen, who was used to Wu Lei's occasional jokes like this, gave Wu Lei a smile.

"Gulu, you are my brother, why don't you help me?" Loli couldn't help pinching Guru's arm. "I came here to propose marriage. I boasted to my father and mother that I would definitely marry Wu Lai."

Wu Lai was startled and subconsciously clenched Helen's hand. Guru covered his forehead with a look of pain and dared not look at Wu Lai, muttering in his heart, "Lori, if you didn't talk about marriage all day long, and if you could use your brain for business to deal with Wu Lai, you wouldn't embarrass me so much. Why don't you learn from Helen, just sit quietly like this, smile occasionally, and you can charm Wu Lai."

…

Two days later in the afternoon, Woolley's carriage appeared outside Seneca City, driven by Janus. Originally, Woolley wanted to take El with him, but Monica suggested that El stay in the Green House to learn how to be a qualified housekeeper, so Woolley gave up this plan. At the same time, he also gave up the idea of ​​taking Hippo back to Seneca, although he had previously thought that it would be pleasant to have a woman accompany him on the journey, at least it could kill the boring time on the journey.

Within a year, the walls of Seneca City were raised a bit, many cracks were repaired, and a wooden semicircular checkpoint was added outside the city gate. Not only were there four sentries on the left and right sides of the checkpoint, but there were also lookouts above the checkpoint and on the nearby walls.

"Young Master." Janusla stopped the carriage. There was a row of horse-drawn carriages and ox-drawn carts lined up in front of him. At a glance, there were probably more than thirty of them, stretching for nearly a mile.

Wu Lai put his arms behind his head, leaned back, and stretched his legs, which had begun to become a little stiff, a few times, saying, "Line up in order, and don't scare the horses."

"Master, it seems like they are collecting an entrance fee?" Janus stood on the coachman's seat and looked out for a while, then turned his head and said.

"If they're going to confiscate it, they're going to confiscate other vehicles. I'm a citizen of Seneca." Wu Lai closed his eyelids. "Looking at the noise, I'm afraid it will take a while. I'm tired. I'll take a nap first. Wake me up when we're almost home."

"Okay, sir." Janus sat back in the driver's seat.

After a while, Wu Lai opened his eyes and frowned.

Outside the carriage curtain, Janus had stood up from the driver's seat again. He was arguing with a small leader of the garrison soldiers: "My young master is Wulai Grindo, the head of the Grindo family, which enjoys an outstanding reputation in Seneca City. The Grindo family has a long history in the Seneca city-state, so why should they pay the entrance fee?"

"Because your car doesn't have a bronze pass issued by the Seneca City garrison!" The soldier leader's tone was filled with impatience.

"Even if that's the case, it's the garrison's fault. My young master is a god-favored person of the Seneca city-state, or..." Janus had learned a lot from Klee in the past few months and had seen the world. With Wu Lai behind him, he was able to speak confidently and without fear. But before he could finish his words, the whip in the hands of the young soldier leader had already whistled and hit him on the head.

After a few crisp "pa pa pa" sounds, Janus, who was furious, seized the opportunity to grab the tail of the whip and pulled it, and the whip of the soldier leader immediately slipped out of his hand. Immediately, several nearby soldiers quickly surrounded him, shouting and cursing while drawing their bronze swords and pointing them at Janus.

"Drag him down! Cut off his hands!" the soldier leader shouted.

"Let's see who dares!" Wu Lai's voice suddenly sounded from behind the car curtain. Then, the curtain was lifted, and Wu Lai stepped out with a frosty face. He glanced around and his eyes fell on the little leader of the soldiers.

For some reason, when Wu Lai's gaze covered him, the young soldier leader involuntarily took a step back.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Master." Janus still held the whip tightly and refused to let go. The whip marks on his cheek, neck and left shoulder had already bulged, and blood was slowly oozing out from the heaviest marks.

"Sit down." Wu Lai patted Janus' shoulder, glanced around again, and suddenly raised his voice a few degrees, "Who hit my people just now?!"

This was of course a question asked knowingly. Wu Lai naturally knew that the one who whipped Janus was a small soldier leader, and he did it just to make some noise.

As a result, everyone's attention was focused on Wu Lai and Janus.

"It's me!" The young soldier leader felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Wu Lai. He thought that beating a slave couldn't be a big deal, so he admitted it very openly.

"Hmph, just admit it." Wu Lai glanced at the soldier leader coldly and patted Janus on the shoulder. "Janus, hit back the way this bastard hit you just now."

Janus was stunned. Before he could react, the soldiers around him were already in an uproar. The small soldier leader couldn't believe his ears. He thought that during the nearly one year that the garrison had been in Seneca, all the nobles had treated them with great courtesy. When had there been such a barbaric character who actually wanted to attack the garrison soldiers?

"This citizen! He is a slave! It is not appropriate for you to protect him like this!" Someone among the soldiers around said loudly.

The leader of the soldiers perked up when he heard this. He pointed at Wu Lai with his right hand and said, "Citizen! The garrison is not the so-called city-state guard. Even though you are a citizen, you have no right to hurt me!"

Wu Lei ignored him and said in a voice that was loud enough for people within dozens of steps to hear clearly: "Janus!"

"I'm here, young master!" Janus felt warm in his heart and answered loudly.

"I'm asking you! Do you dare to beat this bastard?!" Wu Lai asked loudly.

"Dare!" After Janus answered loudly, he glared at the soldier leader from the side.
