I, Tsugumi Yuichiro, must do something

Looking at the high walls of the palace so close at hand, Iyeas looked towards the palace curiously.

The view is blocked by high walls.

Shaking his head slightly, he turned around and looked at the yard.

Although this yard looks like no one has lived in it for a long time, it is well maintained.

It doesn't require much extra effort to put it back into use.

"Let's go back."

After looking at the yard, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi did not stay any longer. He looked at Iyeas. There were still some things in the security team that needed his attention.

After hearing what Yoriichi Tsugikuni said, Iyeas activated the power of the imperial weapon and returned directly to the guard team.

He marked the residences near the Imperial Palace and in the castle town.

In the future, he can go there directly.

I have to say that although compared to Tsugikuni Yoriichi's Ah-Dai, if he activates the imperial weapon, he won't even have a chance to escape, but Shangri-La is indeed a very practical imperial weapon.

"Is there any new news?"

Seeing a crowd gathering at a place where the security team posted notices, Iyeas ran over to watch.

"It's about the reform of the imperial military officers."

"From the notice, it can be seen that the proposal to place civilian officials in the military under the jurisdiction of military officers has been approved."

After reading the notice, Iyeas ran back and reported to Yoriichi Tsugikuni.

"It seems that Ernest's camp has won."

Ji Guoyuan had known about the imperial reform for a long time. In his previous conversation with Joly, Ji Guoyuan learned that this was an issue raised by Ernest.

Before, Qiao Li had told Yuichiro Tsugikuni that if the system became like this, there would be some hidden dangers.

Tsugikoku Yuichi agreed with his point of view. He also believed that with this very likely situation, Jolly's side still had a chance of winning.

However, it is obvious that Ernest's side does not care much about the possible hidden dangers.

"It seems the struggle between the forces in the imperial capital has begun."

Although Ji Guoyuan didn't know much about the officialdom.

But Jiguo Yuanyi has Lan, who is good at these things, as well as Jolly and Chelsea.

After talking with them, Jiguo Yuanyi naturally understood the game between the two major forces in the imperial capital, led by General Bud and the other led by Ernest.

However, from the current perspective, the game between Ernest and General Budd is still within the rules.

There's nothing to worry about.

Without thinking too much, Jigoku Yoshiichi walked straight to his office.

He had previously promised Qiao Li that he would stay in the imperial capital for a while longer.

Although I don't know what Qiao Li's intention is, since he has agreed, he will naturally keep his promise.

So after the big ship was built, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi would still stay in the imperial capital for a while, and by the way, let the new security captain completely hand over his work to him.

"If this is the case, wouldn't our security forces also have to be under civilian control?"

Iyeas followed Yoriichi Tsugakuni into the office. He stroked his chin and began to think.

When he thought about the future, if there was a nagging civil servant following him, he felt a little scared.

"That's normally the case."

"But isn't Lan the civilian officer of our security team?"

Tatsumi and Ran came in together, and naturally they both saw what was on the notice board.

"By then, we should send more people in."

Ernest's actions this time made Lan very suspicious that it was a plan of Ernest.

Although he kept saying that the reform was to make the empire more peaceful.

But at present, the civil service group of the empire is completely under his control. If he slowly sends out his own people to control the military officers.

I'm afraid the empire is in danger.

But Lan quickly thought of another thing: "In response to this situation, General Budd should take some action, right?"

Although I don't know why General Bud chose to compromise in the end on this matter.

But Lan believed that General Bud might have made some arrangements as well.

But probably due to some reasons, it has not yet reached the point of outbreak.

Otherwise, this situation would be too inconsistent with General Bud's usual style of doing things.

"We're back, and it suddenly strikes me that patrolling isn't that great after all."

Maine, Leona, Hill, and Sibia came in from outside.

Main, who had always loved patrolling, sat down on the chair as soon as she entered the office, tapping her slender legs. She was sweating profusely and looked like she had lost all hope in life.

From the morning patrol till now, several people have jointly patrolled several areas.

Main, who loves shopping, was defeated.

"Drink some water."

Looking at the people leaning on the bench, Ji Guoyuan shook his head.

In fact, given their strength, using them for patrolling is indeed a bit of a waste of their talents.

If the capital had not been peaceful recently and no murders had occurred, several of them could have participated in the hunt for the murderer.

"By the way, we want to go see Najeshitan and Lubbock and the others."

"They are now in a prison on the outskirts of the city."

Leone took the kettle handed to him by Jiguo Yuanyi and poured it into the porcelain cups in front of them.

After the war ended in the Empire, Najeshitan and Lubbock became war criminals.

However, at the end, Najeshitan and Lubbock explained some matters concerning the revolutionary army, which accelerated the empire's final efforts to quell the war.

Therefore, the two people who should have been executed have now had their crimes reduced a lot.

Although in the past, Najeshitan and Lubbock did many things that were difficult for everyone in the Night Raid to understand.

But putting aside national justice, they were once very good friends.

So after learning where the two were being held, Leone and the others decided to go see them.

"Go ahead and see it if you want."

Ji Guoyuan nodded in agreement.

In fact, there was no need for them to tell him, but it was probably to avoid any misunderstanding.

So I came to talk to him specifically.

Chapter 148: Budd's Arrangement, the Key to Victory [Update 1]

evening.

The sun was already slanting over the hill.

A carriage slowly drove along the street and finally entered the residence of General Bud.

"You came."

"Are you still upset about what happened today?"

General Bud was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed in meditation. When he heard someone enter the room, he opened his eyes.

The person who came was the former minister Qiao Li.

Looking at Jolly's almost furrowed brows, Bud asked calmly.

"Ernest's layout is obvious."

"He has already begun to plot for military power."

Jolly sat down on the floor opposite Bud and poured himself a cup of tea.

From his unceremonious actions, it can be seen that he is a frequent visitor here in Bud.

"Of course I know what he's thinking, but I'm collecting evidence of his crimes now. If we take action against him, we at least need a legitimate reason."

Bud is a very traditional person, and he has been thinking about changing his stubborn ideas for a long time.

He also had his own insistence on getting rid of Ernest.

Many local military officers participated in this civil strife in the empire.

Jean Bud also saw some problems with the military officers.

As the head of the military officers, he was naturally very cautious in getting rid of Ernest.

Although force can solve problems.

But for a country, law and order are also very important.

"Okay, but we can't take it lightly."

"A large number of imperial weapon users have gathered around Ernest. He seems to have noticed our plan..."

Hearing Bud's words, Jolly sighed and expressed his agreement.

He looked at Bud and expressed his other concerns.

"I'll pay attention. We must try our best to take him down before Tsugikoku Yoshiichi leaves."

Bud also had some plans in dealing with the matter of Ernest.

Before, after some discussion with Qiao Li, he finally decided to let Qiao Li come forward and let Jigoku Yoshiichi stay in the imperial capital for a longer time.

This would give Bud more time to collect evidence against Ernest.

As long as Ji Guoyuan was around, Bud believed that Ernest would not dare to do anything too outrageous.

It has to be admitted that although Tsugakuni Yoriichi did not participate in the struggle for power in the empire.

But there is no doubt that he is now an outsider and has become one of the key factors in the success or failure of the game between all parties.

"What did Esdeath say?"

Jolly looked at General Bud again. They had discussed it before and decided to seek Esdeath's support.

"She said she wasn't interested in anything like that."

"She's been busy sailing lately."

Bud shook his head. He had no way to deal with Esdeath.

Even though he was the supreme commander of the empire's army, he could not give orders to Esdeath.

"Akagi, Myne, Leona and the others, we can try to win them over."

After thinking for a while, Joly offered his suggestion.

No matter what, if they have more imperial weapon users at that time, their chances of winning will undoubtedly be much greater.

"Ah."

In fact, Bud had already had contact with the former Night Raid members, but at this stage, Ernest's actions were still kept secret.

He was in no hurry to get in touch with them...

. . . . . .

"The relationship between them is quite good."

Iyeas looked at the distance where Leone, Hill and Najeshitan were chatting, and he sighed slightly.

"Humph, I don't have a good relationship with them."

Marin clasped her arms, turned her back to the others, and stepped on a wild flower on the ground.

With a cold snort, she was very dissatisfied with Iyeas's evaluation.
