Chapter 257?? I Investigate Myself

The fist stopped near Lucia's abdomen.

There was only a gust of strong wind, which messed up Liu Xia's clothes.

"Hmph, but you're doing pretty well."

General Bude's cold and inhuman voice came from above his head, "Before I was exposed by you, even I never thought that there would be such scum among my subordinates."

He withdrew his fist and turned around, "But you also give me moderation, and it's usually fine, but now it's time for the empire to employ people, and some vices can be tolerated for a while. It's not too late to punish."

"I see."

Liu Xia raised her head, the golden luster in her eyes had long since dissipated, and turned back to the original amber color, "Since the general said so, then there is no reason for the subordinates not to obey."

This is also expected.

Once Liu Xia knocked down too many generals, it would definitely attract the attention of General Bude, but he didn't expect the other party to come so quickly.

The Great General of the Empire and the Minister Ornest are the heads of military generals and civil servants respectively. It is true that the general as a military general cannot interfere with the affairs of the court, but if the general decides to protect the generals under his command, the minister has no way to stop it .

So far, ministers have been able to make upheavals in the field of government. As long as any official offends him, none of them will end well, but he rarely takes action against the generals of the empire. If he wants to do something, he will definitely do it like Lucia. And with the help of the emperor, there is even a precedent that the ministers couldn't do anything after some civil servants of the conscience faction were saved by the general.

Moreover, this great general seems to be very upright, he didn't really explode into a thunderous anger just because Liu Xia made a move on his subordinates, and his words also showed contempt for those generals with problems. How many people are really worried about the empire.

But unfortunately, the more loyal he is, the more Liu Xia will kill him.

"I heard that you are very good at investigating intelligence."

General Bude spoke to Liu Xia in a declarative tone: "There is no need to deny it, otherwise the two generals under my command will not be easily defeated by you."

"I have a task for you."

Not giving Liu Xia a chance to refuse at all, General Bude just spoke out the content of the mission on his own.

"The assassin named [Necromancer] came and went freely in the palace several times, and assassinated important ministers and envoys of the emperor several times. The danger is very high, and it is even enough to threaten His Majesty the Emperor! But it is a pity that, Nobody can figure out where that guy came from—"

When talking about undead, Bude's whole body was filled with astonishingly low air pressure, exuding a strong sense of oppression, as if a volcano was about to erupt in his body.

"In any case, only the assassin who threatens His Majesty's safety will not be tolerated! Liangyi, I order you to immediately investigate the origin and purpose of the undead, and arrest him and execute him as quickly as possible!"

Liu Xia raised her brows indistinctly.

"If the general orders, the subordinates should obey."

He seemed to respectfully agreed, and then said: "But, with all due respect, General, I am afraid that the strength of the undead is not something that our imperial guards can compete with.

It is almost impossible to apprehend him. "

"You don't have to worry about the arrest, you are only responsible for the investigation."

General Bude crossed his arms and said with a cold expression: "As long as you have any information, you can inform me, and I will personally capture that gangster and execute him in public!"

"I see."

Lucia understood, bowed slightly, and took over the task issued by General Bude.

"I heard that you killed a Tegu envoy just after you took office, and also captured the killer who attacked at night. Your ability is beyond doubt."

General Bude paused for a moment, and then continued: "After the matter is completed, you can take up your post in the barracks. I can promise you the position of general. It is easier and more promising than working under the minister."

After saying this, without waiting for Liu Xia to reply, he left the minister's palace on his own, as if he didn't want to stay in the minister's palace for a second longer.

"Huh, much easier?"

While biting the steak fiercely, the minister silently slandered, "Which one is easier, this stubborn old man who doesn't understand the world!"

Due to the poison in his body, no matter what kind of request Liu Xia makes, as long as it is not too much, he will agree without saying a word. Is there an easier and more relaxed way of working than this?

This is not a subordinate at all, but a father.

"General Bude really figured out how to let me deal with the undead."

After Bude left, Lucia's pretended respectful appearance gradually disappeared, and she sat on the chair opposite the minister, "Obviously, I killed two of his generals before, but in the end, he still entrusted me with a heavy responsibility."

"That's what that old stubborn is."

The minister glanced at Liu Xia whose attitude became casual, and kept a smile on his face, "Although he won't meddle in political affairs, he can't help but promote young people when he sees outstanding young people. That's a person who is really worried about the prosperity of the empire. Good General."

"Isn't General Estes back? Isn't it easier for her to deal with that undead than me?"

Liu Xia was noncommittal to the minister's statement, but asked in reverse.

"General Estes has other tasks recently."

The minister took another bite of the steak, "Although [Night Raid] has been somewhat forgotten due to the recent activity of [Necromancer], the danger of Night Raid is actually no worse than that of Necromancer. The traitors in the South are backing, and General Esthers has been dealing with night raids lately."

Traitors of the South.

The traitor, of course, refers to the revolutionary army.

Because Bai Falcon, the emissary, stayed at the night attack base for a while, and there were ministers as sources of information, so Liu Xia naturally knew the origin of the night attack long ago.

In a word, it is the force formed by the Revolutionary Army to assassinate the top of the empire and collect the Teigu who were strayed outside.

If there is not such a big force behind it, it is almost impossible to form a killer group with multiple Teigu envoys.

But in other words, a night attack backed by the revolutionary army is no less threatening than the [Dead Spirit], at least the Dead Spirit can come and go freely in the palace, but under the protection of General Bude , It is impossible to assassinate the little emperor, but the existence of night raids is enough to shake the state power.

As for Esdes, who returned to the imperial court, he is currently dealing with the night attack.

fair enough.

Lucia also didn't want to face that woman head-on too early, at least he didn't plan to have a head-on conflict with Esdeth before his goal of weakening the empire's combat power had been achieved.

That woman is not only powerful, but also deeply rooted in the empire. Even the ministers maintain a cooperative relationship with her, which is enough to show how difficult that woman is to deal with.
