  Chapter 261 I investigate myselfThe   fist stopped near Lucia's abdomen.

There was only a strong wind that disturbed Lucia's clothes.

"hmph, but you did a good job."

Above the head came the unhumanly cold voice of Bud Great General, "Before you reveal it, Even I didn’t expect that there is still that kind of scum in my hands."

He retracted his fist and turned around, "But you give me enough, usually that’s all. But now the empire is at the time when it is time to employ people, and some wickedness can be tolerated for one or two. After the trouble is resolved, it will not be too late to punish."

"I see."

When Lucia lifts the head, the yellow metallic luster in his eyes has long since disappeared and changed back to the original amber color, "Since the Great General said so, then there is no reason for subordinates to disobey."

This is also expected.

Once Lucia has fallen over too many generals, it will definitely attract the attention of Bude Great General, but didn't expect the other party to come so fast.

The Great General of the Empire and the Minister Ornest, who are the military commanders and the heads of the civil servants respectively. It is true that the Great General, as a military commander, cannot interfere in the affairs of the court, but if the Great General decides to shelter the military commanders under it , The minister could not stop it.

So far, ministers have been able to overturn the power in the realm of political power. As long as any official offends him, no one will end well, but he rarely does anything to the generals of the empire, and he will definitely be like Lucia if he does it. , The evidence must be'conclusive' and the emperor's hand is needed. Even after some civil servants of conscience are protected by the Great General, there is a precedent that the minister can't do anything.

And this Great General seems to be very upright. It did not really explode into thunder's anger because Lucia acted on his subordinates. The words also showed contempt for those generals in question. Look at him. His words and deeds are probably one of the few people who really worry about the empire.

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

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

Bude Great General opened the mouth and said to Lucia in a declarative tone: "No need to deny , Otherwise the two generals under my command will not be easily knocked down by you."

"I have a task to hand over to you."

Lucia will not be given a chance to refuse at all. , Bude Great General stated the content of the task on each minding their own business.

"The assassin named [Necromancer] has been able to come and go freely within the Imperial Palace several times, and has assassinated the important officials and emperors of the imperial court several times. The danger is very high, and it is even threatening. Emperor Your Majesty! But it’s a pity that no one can investigate the origin of that guy—"

When talking about the undead, Bud was filled with an astonishing low pressure all over his body. There was a strong oppression, as if a volcano was about to erupt in his body.

"In any case, only the assassin that threatens Your Majesty's safety is absolutely unacceptable! Liangyi, I order you to investigate the origin and purpose of the undead immediately, and capture him as quickly as possible Execution!"

Lucia raised her brow slightly without a trace.

"If the Great General orders, your subordinates should obey."

He agreed respectfully, and then said: "But, forgive me to speak bluntly, Great General , The strength of the necromancer is probably not something our Imperial Capital security team can contend. It is almost impossible to capture him."

"You don't care about the things you capture, you can only be responsible for the investigation."

Bude Great General both hands crossed near chest, opening the mouth and said with a cold expression: "As long as there is any information, you can notify me, and I will personally capture the gangster , Execute the punishment in public!"

"I understand."

Lucia understood, bowed slightly, and accepted the mission issued by Bud's Great General.

"I heard that you killed an emissary as soon as you took office, and you also caught the killer of the overnight attack. Your ability is beyond doubt."

Bud Great General paused, and then continued: "After everything is done, you can go to the military camp. I can promise you the position of general. It is easier and more promising than working under the hands of the minister."

After saying this, without waiting for Lucia to reply, he left the minister's palace each minding their own business, as if he was unwilling to stay in the minister's palace for a second.

"Ha, it's much easier?"

While biting the steak fiercely, the minister silently slandered in his heart, "Which way is easier, this old stubborn stubborn man !" Based on the poison in the body, no matter what kind of request Lucia makes, as long as it is not too excessive, 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.

"Let me deal with the necromancers, Budd Great General really can think of it."

After Budd left, Lucia's disguised respectful appearance gradually disappeared. Sitting on the chair opposite the minister, "Obviously I broke off the two generals under him before, but I actually entrusted me with a heavy responsibility."

"That's the old stubbornness."

p>

The minister glanced at Lucia, who had become casual, with a smile on his face. "Although he won't interfere with political affairs, he can't help but promote him when he sees a good youngster. That's a real reason. A good general who is worried about the prosperity of the empire."

"Isn't General Esters coming back? Wouldn't it be easier for her to deal with the necroman than me?"

Lucia's indifferent expression to the minister, just asked the other way around.

"General Esders has other missions recently."

The minister took another bite of the steak, "Although the activity of the [dead] recently led to [Night Attack] Some of them have been forgotten, but the danger of night attacks is actually not worse than that of the undead. After all, behind the night attacks are the rebels in the south who are supporting them. General Asides has been dealing with the night attacks recently."

The traitor of the South.

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

Because the Demon White Falcon stayed in the night raid base for a period of time, and there were ministers as the intelligence source, so Lucia naturally knew the origin of the night raid.

In a nutshell, it is a force formed by the Revolutionary Army to assassinate the empire’s high-level officials and collect the imperial tools that are left out.

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

But in other words, a night attack backed by a revolutionary army is not inferior to [Necromancers] in terms of threat. At least the necromancers can come and go freely in the Imperial Palace, but in Under the guardianship of the Great General of Bud, it was impossible to assassinate the little emperor, but the existence of night attacks was enough to shake the state power.

And Esthers of Return to the dynasty is currently dealing with the night attack.

This is also good.

Lucia also didn't want to face that woman too soon, at least in the case that his purpose of weakening the empire's battle strength has not been achieved, he does not intend to have a head-on conflict with Esders.

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