Infinite crossing from violet

Chapter 205 The first encounter with Esdes
The confidant of Minister Ornest?
Refers to the deformity called "thorn" outside the door?

Lu Ye thought carefully.

I am worried that there is no point to use, and the fragmentation grenade and C4 sticky explosives in the store are almost refreshed...

It can only be said that this mission came at the right time.

"I heard that you killed and beheaded Zanke (baji baji)...removing harm for the people...well done!"

Ornest still kept in mind the meat as he spoke.

Thinking about it, he was right, he didn't even forget to eat in front of the emperor, how could he put his posture straight when meeting a member of the small guard?
"This is what I should do!" Lu Ye said with a smile on his face.

He hasn't forgotten his identity yet, a countryman has to look like he came from the country.

It's not difficult to do this, you just need to think about Iyeyas and a few people.

After glancing at Lu Ye, Ernest never looked at him again, and then threw a grape into his mouth.

"I heard that you are a Tegu envoy, can I show the old man?"

"no problem."

Lu Ye pulled out the knife from the space as he had shown before.

"Huh?" Ernest temporarily stopped the movement of his hands, "Interesting, it's a Teigu that I haven't seen before, judging from its characteristics, you shouldn't be the captain of a small imperial guard, you should Be an assassin."

"Assassin?" Lu Ye asked, "Kill who?"

"Naturally, those traitors and thieves. Although you are from the countryside in the countryside, you know the situation of the imperial capital after these few days, right?"

"Yes, it is a country where people live and work in peace and contentment. People are very friendly, and everyone in the guard takes good care of me."

"Well, it seems that your cognition is very accurate." Ernest wiped his bloody hands with a napkin, got up, and walked down the steps slowly.

"But...it is such a country that makes people happy, but now it is coveted by the outside world." Ornest's hand as big as a bear's paw pressed Lu Ye's shoulder, with a look of concern for the country and the people, "The imperial capital is now facing enemies from three sides. The foreign nations from the north, the east, and the west are jointly attacking this country. While our soldiers are defending this country with their lives, there are people with ulterior motives making trouble. The imperial capital needs you to behave like this. There are powerful people to guard it!"

Lu Ye looked flattered.

"Small, little is deeply honored!"

Hearing this, Ernest smiled, and the gaps between his teeth were bloodshot.

"Because of that fellow Oja's concealment, I didn't know you had Teigu at first, so I gave you the position of captain of the imperial guard."

"Minister, please rest assured, I will live up to everyone's expectations and protect the safety of the imperial capital!" Lu Ye said pretendingly.

But Ornest looked regretful, "But at present, with your talent, it's still too incompetent to be the captain of the imperial guards. Come and work under me, and I promise you can send more people." Great use."

"Minister, your subordinate?" Lu Ye was taken aback.

I didn't expect this guy to have such an idea.

But it's not surprising when you think about it.

Teigu are rare in number, and even fewer people can use them.

The position of the captain of the guard is actually not very important, because the security of the imperial capital is only a superficial job, and it is only for the eyes of the subordinates.

The deeper dark side is beyond the reach of these members of the guard.

Originally, Ornest just wanted to grab a stronger person to add to it. It happened that Lu Ye killed Zanke and attracted his attention.

"That's right, you are a master who can kill a lunatic like Zanke. Now the imperial capital is troubled by internal and external troubles, villains are rampant, and there are some illegal forces in the imperial capital to confuse the people, and there are even imperial officials among them." He looked distressed, "I did my best for this country and took care of the little emperor according to the late emperor's instructions, but the villain rumored that I bewitched the emperor... Alas, if this continues, the thousand-year history of the empire will be...! "

"So that's how it is, since there are officials among them, so assassins are needed, right?" Lu Ye suddenly realized.

"That's right, those eunuchs are constantly slandering the people, causing resentment to the people, and trying to influence His Majesty's wise decision. They are the worms of the empire and must be eliminated!" said Ornest. "You are from a village in the countryside. That village is called 'Goring Village', right? Because of the perennial heavy taxes, people can't get enough to eat, and even starve to death... But all these are done by those corrupt officials, although I voted against it, but..."

Lu Ye fell silent, lowered his head, and said nothing.

He thought to himself that this old Bi Deng was really an old sow wearing a bra, one set after another.

Push all the responsibility to the officials who are against him.

If it was Iyeas and the others who came from the countryside, they might be fooled, right?

Although the minister's reputation was extremely bad at the level of a sewer in the imperial capital, no one dared to discuss it openly.

Because of the extreme reporting reward mechanism,
Those who disobeyed Ornest or abused him, whether secretly or publicly, were all "disciplined".

In this country, Ornest does not need to train any "water army".

Because every commoner in the imperial capital is his eyeliner and his "water army".

The rewards brought by the reporting mechanism are insanely rich.

In the temptation of a lifetime of glory and wealth,
Not only strangers, but even neighbors, and even relatives, as long as someone talks about Ernest, there will be a report.

And those who dared to disobey him head-on had already been labeled as rebels and executed.

Because of this, Ornest's reputation is not bad, at least not bad on the bright side.

Because Ornest only needs to hide from the young emperor and continue to control him.

Therefore, if Iyeas and others come, they will definitely be deceived by him.

Even if they kept their eyes open and inquired about what the minister had done and what his reputation was, no one dared to reveal it to them.

Most of the answers they got in the end were the great achievements of the ministers, not the dirty things.

"Therefore, I set up my private army, the 'Four Ghosts of Rakshasa'," said Ornest, "to kill those corrupt officials. If you are willing to work under me, the Four Ghosts will Become the five ghosts, and then you will return the peace of the imperial capital."

To this, Lu Ye only answered four words.

"Fulfilling the mission."

It's definitely a good thing to be able to stay with Ornest.

This wave, this wave is Ernest lifting a rock and preparing to smash his own foot.

In fact, this is no wonder Ernest.

Before calling Lu Ye, Ornest had asked people to collect all the information about Lu Ye, trying to find out his details.

However, because the departments below were also rotten, the information provided by Lu Ye when he joined the army did not prove the authenticity. After all, with so many people joining the army, who would send someone to a man who had never even heard of the name, located in the imperial capital? What about the small villages on the border?

Ornest thought that Lu Ye was an idiot from the countryside who had never seen the world and was easy to manipulate.

That being the case, Lu Ye followed his wishes.

"Then...Minister, when can I meet that rakshasa?" Lu Ye said, "We are new colleagues after all, do you want to prepare some gifts?"

"Haha, you are really warm-hearted." Ornest smiled slightly, "But don't worry, they don't need gifts, you just need to be the captain of your imperial guard at ease."

"Ah... I, I don't quite understand."

"It means that you now have two identities," Ornest pointed at Lu Ye's chest, "on the surface you are the captain of the imperial guard, but in private you are my executioner, once I investigate where If there are villains, you need to appear."

"Oh, I get it……"

Lu Ye looked stupid on the surface, but he had a different attitude in his heart.

Damn, play double identities with me, don't you know that I'm a member of "Night Raid"?

But just say this in your heart and let it out.

After all, it feels a bit uncomfortable to pretend to be a fool.

If it weren't for the fact that there were too many people in this church, Lu Ye wouldn't mind that his profile picture would be a wanted warrant from God the next day.

"By the way, General Esdes has returned to the city recently. Your village is very short of money. Go and participate in the martial arts competition held by her. If you win the championship, there may be a generous bonus."

"Esdes... is that the strongest general in the empire?" Lu Ye continued to pretend to be stupid.

"That's right, the purpose of calling her back this time is to deal with the rebel's killer organization, Night Attack."

When the word "night attack" was mentioned, Ernest's expression became visibly fierce to the naked eye.

"That's a group of villains who did a lot of evil in the imperial capital. They even killed my cousin a few days ago, so a person who cared about the people died like this!" Ernest fiercely tore the napkin on his chest with his mouth. I was so sad that I gained several kilograms of weight!!"

"Then... sorry."

Lu Ye smiled inwardly.

If I had known that I should have followed Chi Tong to see how Ernest's cousin died.

"Okay, you go down."

Ernest waved his hand and licked the bloodshot beard on his lips with his tongue.

"I want to remember my cousin for a while in this church."

"The little one won't bother you."

Lu Ye bowed, then turned and exited the church.

remember?

Damn you!
After Lu Ye left, an agile figure descended from the dome of the church.

The scarred woman in culottes and boots quietly landed beside Ernest.

"My lord, that kid just now..."

"It can be used." Ernest continued to eat, "It can also be used."

"But, that kid is so stupid... maybe something bad will happen!"

"He's not stupid." Ornest sneered. "Twice, two times, I mentioned Zanke. But he didn't mention Zanke's Teigu at all."

"You mean, he wants to keep Zank's Teigu?" The woman frowned, "But one person cannot use two Teigu."

"You don't understand, that kid is pretending to be stupid. Although he is from the frontier, he is very clever. It's not that he doesn't understand what I mean, but he is waiting for me to speak first. Once I ask for Tegu, then he will There will be a price tag," said Ornest, "lost it, threw it away, sold it...it can be for any reason."

"Hmph, just tie him up and torture him until he is recruited." The woman said, "Kill him and take his Teigu, and the Teigu envoy can look for it again."

"Hehe, killing and beheading Zanke has solved the hidden danger at night. He is now a popular man among the people of the imperial capital. If he suddenly disappears after being summoned by me, he will be caught." Ornest said, "He is now Already one of you, my pawn. Just a money-hungry country boy, Thorn will take care of this and make him behave."

"That's right. After all, that guy is from the Torture Department. As long as you tease him a little bit, he will be even better than a little white rabbit..."

……

Except church.

The thorn outside the door has been waiting for a long time.

"How's it going?"

"The minister said, what kind of Rakshasa ghost am I now?" Lu Ye said, "I don't quite understand either."

"Really?" Thorn smiled sinisterly, "Then we will be colleagues from now on...Let's go, let me introduce you to the palace first, let's start from the garden, there will be no guards there, it's a good place to talk Good place."

The two walked towards a certain place in the palace, and they were speechless along the way.

There were fewer and fewer guards patrolling around, and the scenery in front of him changed slightly.

It is no longer a variety of gorgeous buildings, but a slightly ordinary building compared to other buildings. The surrounding vegetation is beautifully trimmed, and it looks like a large courtyard dedicated to someone.

That's when Thorn spoke.

"This is the weakest and strongest defense in the palace."

"Why?" Lu Ye became interested.

"Because this place is the residence of General Estes." Thorn said, "That woman doesn't like others wandering in her territory, so she withdrew all the guards, and there will be no guards to patrol her place."

"Because she is very strong, she doesn't need guards, right?" Lu Ye asked.

"That's right, but that's what I said, this woman is patrolling around the imperial capital at the moment, and she hasn't come back yet." Ji said, "Let me just ask directly, Lu Ye, the Teigu who beheaded Zanke——Five-sighted omnipotent Observation Or, where did you hide it?"

"Teigu?" Lu Ye looked innocent, "I didn't find any Teigu on Zanke's body."

The corners of Thorn's mouth opened, like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter.

"Really, you killed the man, but you said you didn't know... What a stubborn guy, if that's the case, then I'll pry your mouth open!"

Without any hesitation, Jichao Luye rushed over, and eight black thorns appeared between his fingers at some point.

"Wait, aren't we colleagues? There's no need to fight each other with swords, right?"

"Don't worry, I only want half your life! Haha!!"

The thorn jumped up high, waved the thorn in his hand, and flew towards Lu Ye's neck.

Lu Ye's eyes twitched, and he pulled out the knife he took from Oujia's house, ready to fight back.

What a lunatic!
Is this how Ornest treats his own people?

Or, is this a blow to myself, a newbie idiot who doesn't know how to surrender Teigu voluntarily?
No matter what it is, this treatment is too warm.

Lu Ye could see the thorn's trajectory in the air clearly.

Just as he was about to pop these things off, he suddenly noticed the chest heart rate detector.

The scan line goes round and round, and there are three red dots on the screen.

This means that there are not only Ji and himself here.

There is a third party!
The thorns in the air suddenly turned into solid ice, and then shattered.

"Who dares to fight in my house, don't you want to live?"

A cold female voice sounded,
At some point, a figure appeared on the balcony on the third floor of the house.

Ice blue long hair.

Snow-white skin.

Proud figure.

And that tight white military uniform.

He is the most powerful general in the empire.

The imperial capital is the strongest, Estes.
