Infinite crossing from violet

Chapter 208 Lead the snake out of the hole
If it meets the conditions, maybe there really is such a one?
Recalling all the previous events, Esdeath could not help but sit on the bed in a daze.

"This is... what it feels like to be in love?"

She didn't believe it.

How can there be someone in this world who falls in love at the first sight?

But there seems to be a saying in this world called "love at first sight".

Was it love at first sight?

With an uncontrollable mood, Estes walked to the balcony.

Do not……

not like this.

Looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, Esdeth's gaze was firm.

Recalling what happened during the day today, she reflected on her series of unreasonable and abnormal actions.

It's not like she hasn't seen a man's body before.

During the interrogation, or when conquering the enemy on the battlefield, she had done the torture of stripping them naked and torturing one's self-esteem.

But when he remembered that he would touch a man's body with the desire to watch, Esdeth's heartbeat involuntarily accelerated.

This is really scary.

Although I thought about falling in love before.

But after she really met the "opportunity", she thought that falling in love would disturb her mood.

Let's let this matter go.

Being in love... will only affect the speed at which I can draw my sword!

"Later, let's discuss the matter of the martial arts meeting..."

Thinking of this, Estes tore up the letter and let the pieces float into the night sky.

……

the other side.

After leaving the palace during the day, Lu Ye returned to the guard.

After treating the three of Iyeas to a big meal, he began to learn the job of the captain of the guard,
This job is actually not complicated, just like Ouja, except for occasionally patrolling the streets, most of the time is idle.

Moreover, it was only the first day of taking office, and Lu Ye discovered that this position has many advantages.

Not only all kinds of land snakes climbed up, spit out a lot of bribes, trying to hug Lu Ye's thigh.

And more importantly, Lu Ye can arrange the patrol routes of the guards at will, and let his subordinates act according to their own will. In this way, whether it is himself or the night raider, the work in the imperial capital can be smoother spread out.

He worked until the evening, when Lu Ye was about to leave work, suddenly a member of the security team knocked on the door and came in to report to him.

"Captain, the patrol team counted the number of people before disbanding. It seems that Seriu was absent, but he was still there this morning."

Leaving early can be big or small.

The most important thing is to see what Lu Ye, the captain of the guard, thinks.

"Oh, she's not feeling well, she's already asked for leave," Lu Ye said.

Although no one else knew, Lu Ye knew that Seriu was investigating the background of the person killed by the night attack team.

Under Lu Ye's best efforts to fool her, she is chasing her own justice.

And Lu Ye believed that in a few days, that girl would understand the situation in the imperial capital.

"But it's really rare, that little girl Seliu would actually ask for leave," a member of the security team was a little puzzled, "She would persevere even if she was sick before, but her health is still important!"

"It's probably because Captain Oujia died, and she is sad," Lu Ye changed the subject, "It's getting late, you should go back early, I don't implement 996 here, even if I work overtime, I don't get overtime pay."

"Excuse me, Captain, what did you say?" the guard members were puzzled.

"It's nothing, I'm telling you to go home early and rest, and the rest of the work will be left to the person on duty tonight."

"Good, good."

The setting sun slowly sank in the mountains in the distance, and the night gradually fell.

Brightly lit at night.

Walking on the streets of the imperial capital, pedestrians are bustling with each other.

Without the threat of Zanke, everyone is no longer afraid.

Looking at those passers-by who were like walking dead, numb themselves with alcohol and cigarettes, Lu Ye shook his head and walked out of the city.

It is true that Zanke threatened the lives of these people.

But the minister is even squeezing the value of people's lives invisibly.

The current downturn in the imperial capital is largely due to the minister and his power politics.

Corrupt officials are rampant, and crimes spread like bacteria in the sewers in the corners of the imperial capital. Evil deeds are hidden behind laws and transactions, and even if they know their existence, they cannot be easily seen.

……

"What?!" Lubbock exclaimed, "Captain of the Imperial Guard!!?"

"Don't make noise, Lubbock, your voice is really loud!" Ma Yin covered her ears and complained to the green-haired boy beside her.

"Congratulations." Hill congratulated with a smile.

Leonai hadn't come back yet, while Chitong and Violet were eating supper in the kitchen.

"It seems to be successful," Najta calmly took out the cigarette case from her breast pocket, took out a cigarette and smoked.

Although he was not optimistic about Lu Ye's promotion before, he didn't expect him to succeed, which was really a surprise.

"However, I have some doubts," Brad expressed his doubts, "If you kill Zanke alone, it shouldn't make you the captain of the security team. Once Zanke dies, many people will be eyeing this position .”

"About this..." Lu Ye said, "I have one very important thing to report. That is, in addition to the captain of the Imperial Guard, I also became the executioner under Minister Ornest."

As soon as this remark came out, the audience suddenly fell silent.

After a while, Najieta repeated Lu Ye's words in disbelief.

"You said...you became Minister Ornest's...executor?"

Hill's mind went into a state of shutdown for a moment.

Ma Yin was even more dumbfounded, "It's a lie..."

"I have no reason to lie to you." Lu Ye began to talk, "It is true that if I just rely on the merit of 'killing Zanke', I probably won't be able to be the captain of the God's Guard. But I am The identity of Tegu envoy beheaded Zanke, and it was this that made me the captain of the imperial guards, and let me meet Minister Ernest."

"Hey, what do you mean?" Ma Yin couldn't understand what Lu Ye said.

But Brad on the side caught the point.

"Did you get the minister's audience and get the position because of your status as a Tegu envoy?" Brad thought, "But it's unlikely, the minister can't summon you just because you killed Zanke, if he The only possibility is to take your Teigu. Because Teigu is more important than Teigu envoys, and although Teigu envoys are quite rare, the most important thing this country lacks is people.”

"That's right." Najta also agreed with Brad's statement.

Although beheading Zanke is notorious, after all, what he killed were the common people, and had nothing to do with Ernest.

She knew very well that with Ornest's character, she would never easily put people in her confidant team.

"Well, in normal terms, it should be like this." Lu Ye said, "After all, you have stayed in the imperial capital for a long time and know more than me, but now is an extraordinary moment."

"Extreme moment?" Hill was a little puzzled.

"Do you still remember that Esdes suddenly returned to the city?" Lu Ye said, "This is the problem. Now that the imperial capital is under attack from three sides, Esdes, who was supposed to guard the front line, suddenly returned home. What do you think?"

"What else can there be?" Ma Yin said disdainfully, "Of course they came back for entertainment after winning the battle, but we got the news that the foreign peoples in the north were beaten to death by that woman, so here comes the brave and skilled fighter." The prince was trained as a dog by Estes and then killed."

"No..." At this time, Najieta gave a different answer, "That woman will not rest. If she is tired from killing, torture is her best way of entertainment. She enjoys the feeling of fighting with others. , so she will not take the initiative to return to the relatively stable imperial capital, she was called back."

"Just at this juncture?" Lubbock was thoughtful, and then his face changed abruptly, "Speaking of which, we seemed to have killed the minister before..."

"That's right, that's it." Lu Ye snapped his fingers at Lubbock, "I've read the files in the police force. Before that, you killed some vicious local snakes or officials, but these are all related to Ones. It has nothing to do with it, those people who died can be added to Ornest, but the people who are related to him were killed, which made the minister feel a sense of crisis, so he recalled Esdes."

After a pause, Lu Ye continued.

"If I'm not mistaken, the next person the minister will deal with is not the revolutionary army and alien races who besieged the empire, but our group of killers—the night attack squad."

"Hahaha, isn't your imagination a bit too rich?" Ma Yin still didn't believe it.

In her opinion, all of the above were just Lu Ye's guesses.

It is entirely possible that the minister met Lu Ye because he wanted to appease the hearts of the people, and since the position of the guard was vacant, Lu Ye who killed Zanke was naturally the best candidate.

As for the latter, it is somewhat unreasonable.

Even Esdeath needs to rest. It is impossible for someone to not feel tired after a long time on the battlefield.

Even if it is a robot, there will always be a time when the clockwork runs out.

Faced with Ma Yin's doubts, Lu Ye just said quietly:
"Before Ouja was still dead, he mentioned that Esdesh was about to return to the city, which shows that Esdesh's recall order was issued in advance, and I was still in the guard I learned that after Esdeth returns to the city, there will be a martial arts meeting immediately, and I think everyone should understand the reason why the imperial capital officially held the martial arts meeting."

"Of course, isn't it just to select Tegushi..." Lubbock was talking proudly, but suddenly he was taken aback, "Teigushi?"

"It seems that you have already discovered it." Lu Ye said, "I will be drawn into the command of the minister, and a considerable part of the reason is because I am a Tegu envoy, and I am the Teigu envoy who can kill Zanke. It proves that my value is at least higher than beheading Zanker... The performance of Ernest and Estes is exactly looking for more Tegushi, because almost everyone in the night attack team has them Teigu."

After speaking, Lu Ye added in his heart, "Except for me and Violet".

"I see," Najta narrowed her eyes slightly, "Have you started preparing for the night attack?"

"Lu Ye's guess is very reasonable." Brad nodded, the steak head shaking with his head, "Maybe we have to get ready."

"No," Lu Ye interrupted Brad, "The first thing we need to do is not to prepare, but to choose."

"Choose?" Hill was taken aback.

Even Najieta didn't understand what Lu Ye meant.

"Let me just say it bluntly," Lu Ye stood among the crowd, "the enemy has already begun to prepare, and now there are only two ways in front of the night attack team, either temporarily suspend the assassination operation to avoid the limelight, or continue to hunt evil .”

"Is there even a question?" Ma Yin flicked her ponytails back angrily, "Of course I'm fighting those people to the end!"

"Well, I think we should continue." Hill smiled.

"A man can't back down at a time like this." Brad put his hands in his arms, raising the steak head imposingly.

"I don't care." Lubbock shrugged.

"The assassination operation cannot be terminated," Najieta said. "The Revolutionary Army needs us as the vanguard to destroy the crimes in the imperial capital, especially those officials who have taken refuge in Ornest. It is not a pity for each of them to die. One day earlier If those people are dealt with, more people will be saved.”

"Oh! The eldest sister is right!" Lubbock changed his face instantly, with the look of "I will go to hell if I don't go to hell", it seems that I have prepared the spirit of dedicating myself to the revolution.

"Well, since everyone has decided to continue the assassination, I have an idea." Lu Ye chuckled, "It's a way to weaken the combat power of Ornest's side while eradicating the crimes in the imperial capital."

"Oh? Let's hear it!" Najieta's eyes lit up.

"I am now the minister's executioner. With this relationship, I have the confidence to kill them."

"The specific method is...?" Brad also became interested.

As a former soldier, he was very interested in the art of war. Now that he heard Lu Ye's strategy, he couldn't help but want to find out.

"The method is very simple," Lu Ye said, "I want everyone to mobilize all of them to perform all tasks that can be performed before the martial arts meeting. The more the better, the faster the better, and it is best to get some Attractive movement."

"It means working overtime?" Lubbock said. "It's troublesome, but... I did it!"

And Najieta also understood what Lu Ye meant at this moment.

"Do you want to use us as bait to lure out the pawns around the minister in advance?"

"That's right." Lu Ye nodded, and then explained, "The more frequent the night raid team's actions, the more it will attract Ornest's attention, and when we reach a certain critical point, when we deliberately show our feet, he will It will definitely be irresistible. It's like holding a field mouse and wandering in front of the snake's nest every day. After a long time, the snake will naturally come out of the hole."

"Is the method you mentioned feasible?" Brad asked seriously, "I support you in front, but we are an assassination team, if something happens..."

"It's feasible." Lu Ye's gaze was firm, "You know, I'm the captain of the imperial guards now, and all members of the guards have to listen to me when I give an order...Everyone come together, I have a more specific plan ..."
