Eighth Crown

The fist stopped near Liuxia's abdomen.

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

"Hmph, but you did a good job."

General Bud's inhuman and cold voice came from above his head, "Before I was exposed by you, I didn't even think that there are still such scum in my subordinates."

He withdrew his fist and turned around, "But you also give me enough, it's just normal, but now the empire is hiring people, a little bit of eccentricity can be tolerated for a while, after the trouble is resolved, then It's not too late to be punished."

"I understand."

Liu Xia raised her head, the golden luster in her eyes had long since dissipated, turning back to the original amber color, "Since the general said so, then there is no reason for his subordinates to disobey."

This is also to be 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 imperial general and the minister, Ernest, are the head of the military general and the civil servant 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 can't stop it. .

So far, the ministers have been able to turn clouds and rains in the realm of the regime. As long as any official angered him, none of them will end well. However, he rarely does anything to the generals of the empire. And it is only possible with the help of the emperor. There is even a precedent that some civil servants of the conscience faction are protected by the general, and the ministers can't do it.

Moreover, this general seems to be a very upright person. He didn't really burst into thunder and anger because Liu Xia did something to his subordinates. His words also showed contempt for those generals in question. Judging from his words and deeds, I am afraid that he is one of the few. More people who really worry about the Empire.

But unfortunately, the more loyal he is, the more Liuxia wants to kill him.

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

General Budd spoke to Liu Xia in a statement tone: "Don't deny it, otherwise the two generals under my command will not be easily knocked down by you."

"I have a task for you."

Not giving Liu Xia a chance to refuse at all, General Budd said the content of the mission on his own.

"The assassin named [Necromancer] came and went freely in the palace several times, and assassinated the important ministers and the emperor's envoy several times. The danger is very high, and it is even enough to threaten His Majesty the Emperor! But unfortunately, No one can find out the origin of that guy—"

When it comes to the undead, Bud's body is filled with an amazing low pressure, exuding a strong sense of oppression, as if a volcano is 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 and execute him as quickly as possible!"

Liu Xia raised her brows slightly without a trace.

"The subordinates should obey the orders of the general."

He seemed to respectfully agreed, and then said: "But, with all due respect, General, the strength of the necromancer is probably not something that our Imperial City Guards can compete with. It is almost impossible to arrest him."

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

General Bud crossed his chest and said with a cold expression: "As long as you have any information, you can inform me, and I will personally arrest the gangster and execute him in public!"

"I understand."

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

"I heard that you killed a Teiko envoy just after taking office, and you also caught the killer who attacked overnight. There is no doubt about your ability."

General Bude paused for a while, then continued: "After the matter is completed, you can go to the military camp. I can promise you the position of general, which 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 one more second.

"Huh, how much easier?"

While biting the steak fiercely, the minister murmured silently in his heart, "Which side is easier, this stubborn old stubborn!"

Based on 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 a word. Is there an easier and more relaxed way of working?

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

"To actually let me deal with the undead, General Budd really can think of it."

After Budd left, Liu Xia's disguised respectful appearance gradually disappeared, and he sat on the chair opposite the minister, "Obviously, I broke down two of his generals before, but he still entrusted me with important tasks."

"That's what the old stubborn was like."

The minister glanced at Liu Xia, whose attitude had become casual, with a smile on his face, "Although he won't interfere in political affairs, when he sees outstanding young people, he can't help but be promoted. That's a real worry for the prosperity of the empire. A good general."

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

Liu Xia was noncommittal about the minister's statement, and just asked the other way around.

"General Esders has other assignments recently."

The minister took another bite of the steak, "Although the [Night Attack] has been somewhat forgotten due to the activity of the [Necromancer] recently, the danger of the night attack is actually not worse than that of the necromancer. The traitors in the south are supporting, and General Esders has been dealing with a night attack recently."

Traitors of the South.

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

Because the demon White Falcon stayed at the night raid base for a while, and there was a minister as an intelligence source, Liu Xia naturally knew the origin of the night raid a long time ago.

In a nutshell, it was a force formed by the Revolutionary Army to assassinate the high-ranking empire and collect the stray Teiko.

If there is not such a large force behind it, it is almost impossible to form a killer group with multiple emperors.

But in other words, the night attack with the revolutionary army as the backing is not inferior to the [Necromancer] in terms of threat. At least the undead 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 the night attack is enough to shake the state power.

And Esdes, who was returning to the DPRK, was currently dealing with the night attack.

fair enough.

Liu Xia didn't want to confront that woman too early, at least when his goal of weakening the empire's combat power had not yet been achieved, he didn't intend to have a head-on conflict with Esdes.

That woman is not only powerful, but also has deep-rooted power in the empire. Even the minister maintains a cooperative relationship with her, which is enough to see how difficult that woman is to deal with.
