Chapter 55: The Battle of the Imperial Capital, Esdeath's Return

Ten days passed quickly.

In the past ten days.

Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's life was extremely simple. He commuted between his residence and the guard post every day.

Although I would occasionally go out with Serilu and the others to patrol some places.

But most of the time, Yoshikazu Tsugakuni stayed in the security team.

Of course, although Tsugikuni Yoriichi is in the guard team, it doesn’t mean that he doesn’t do anything.

From the materials sent by Chelsea, Ji Guoyuanyi got to know some of the things that Ernest had done.

With an objective view, Tsugikuni Yoriichi has also asked Sau, Tatsumi and others to conduct some investigations in the past ten days.

He now has a new understanding of Ernest, who once gave people the impression of being the uncle next door.

In general, in the eyes of Yoshikazu Tsugakuni, Ernest is a complete politician.

He is also a very cunning person.

Tsugumi Yuichiro had also seen such a person in his hometown.

Tsugikoku Yoshiichi has always kept his distance from such people.

He wanted no contact with Ernest.

At the same time, Yoshikazu Tsugakuni also understood why Yasushi gave him the information.

That's because they were afraid that he would join Ernest's camp.

"The struggle within the empire is truly intense."

Ji Guoyuanyi stood in front of the window, looking out the window towards the direction of the palace.

During this period, he gradually understood some of the affairs in the officialdom of the empire.

Combined with the information sent by Ye Xiu, Jigoku Yoshiichi finally had some understanding of this unfamiliar place.

In general, in addition to external chaos, the empire now also has a lot of internal strife.

There are struggles and games between officials, factions, and different camps.

As a foreigner, he has now stepped half a foot into this vortex.

"Master, these people are nobles we have investigated and found to have serious problems."

"But their relationship with Ernest is very delicate."

Tatsumi and Iyeas came in from outside. After Kuniyoshi Yoshiichirō took control of the Empire's guard force, the two of them served as team leaders and began to investigate some accumulated cases.

As the investigation progressed, they made great progress.

However, because the person involved was related to Ernest, who currently had the most power in the empire, the two did not make a decision immediately.

Instead, he came over to discuss it with Ji Guoyuan.

Although both of them are from the countryside, it does not mean that they don't understand some things.

They didn't want to be dismissed from the position of guard captain because of their momentary reckless behavior.

"According to the imperial law, arrest them."

"There's no need to be shy about anything."

Without much hesitation, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi gave the order directly.

He wasn't targeting Ernest.

Now that he is the captain of the Imperial Guard, it is natural for him to do what is required of him.

Therefore, he just acted according to the laws of the empire and had no personal feelings.

"understood."

Hearing what Yoriichi Tsugakuni said, Tatsumi showed some joy.

He also secretly began to worry about Tsugumi Yoshikazu.

After staying in the imperial capital for these days, he is no longer the silly boy who just came to the imperial capital to make a living.

He also knew a lot of things in the imperial capital.

Therefore, I fully understand what it means when Tsugikoku Yoshiichi does this.

In a way, it was no different from directly challenging Minister Ernest's authority.

But at the same time, he also admired his master's behavior of not fearing authority.

Unlike Tatsumi and Iyeas, who were hesitant about this matter.

Jiguo Yuanyi didn't have any extra thoughts.

He made the decision based entirely on the attitude that a law enforcer should have.

And because he had never cared about the position of security captain, he didn't have to consider what Ernest would think.

. . . . . .

Northern border.

Everything within sight was completely covered in ice and snow.

A figure stood quietly beside a glacier.

She was wearing a pure white military uniform and tights of the same color that reached the base of her slender thighs. The tights and thighs were connected by ingeniously knotted colored ropes. The crystal-like high heels on her feet were as sharp as blades.

He wore an imperial military cap, and beneath it was his long, sea-blue hair that reached down to his knees, fluttering in the wind like huge waves on the sea.

Her skin was as white as snow, and her beautiful and cold face was set with two sapphire-like eyes.

However, at this moment, these delicate facial features showed an evil smile.

She is Esdeath.

"Those guys are really cowards."

"They've actually escaped hundreds of miles away, without even caring about the border?"

Looking into the distance, there was an endless white snow-white plain, without a single soldier of a foreign nationality to be seen.

There was a hint of a sigh in Esdeath's arrogant tone.

A feeling of boredom due to having no opponent emerged from the bottom of her heart.

"With the general here, how dare those people come over?"

Daidas, one of the three beast warriors, walked up to Esdeath with a smile.

After going on the expedition with Esdeath this time, the scene of Esdeath fighting against hundreds of thousands of troops alone still appeared in their eyes from time to time.

That kind of extreme strength makes them proud.

"Looks like it's time to go back."

“There’s nothing interesting here anymore.”

After defeating the northern ethnic groups, the border has become completely quiet.

Esdeath had no interest in things like being stationed on the border.

"I heard from Ernest that the imperial capital has been very lively recently."

"A group called Night Raid showed up."

Although Esdeath was at the border, she was aware of what was happening in the imperial capital.

There was also a steady stream of intelligence reported to her, as Minister Ernest wrote to her in a letter a few months ago.

The night raid was mentioned before.

Although Minister Ernest did not explicitly ask for her help.

But it can be seen between the lines that the night attack caused great trouble to Ernest.

So after dealing with the issue with the alien race, Esdeath, who was feeling very bored, decided to go back to have some fun and do some things she had never done before.

Dealing with night attacks can also be part of the fun.

"I just heard a piece of news today that the General will surely be interested in."

"A foreigner arrived in the imperial capital and defeated the five imperial weapon users who attacked at night."

Niu covered her mouth and giggled as she looked at Esdeath. She had just talked with the envoy from the imperial capital, and he heard about this incident that happened more than half a month ago.

"his name is?"

"Following the fate of the country."

Esdeath became slightly interested after hearing what Niu said.

Become more serious.

Chapter 56: Famine, the nobles gathered together

imperial capital.

Inside a small restaurant.

Yoriichi Tsugikuni, Seryu, Sayu, Tatsumi, and Iyeas sat together.

This is a small gathering among friends after finishing their daily work.

Xiaobi and A-Dai squatted at the door and watched the sunset in the west.

Ever since they met, Ah Dai often rode Xiao Bi around.

"Master, drink tea."

"I'll distribute tableware to everyone."

Sau poured tea for Yuichiro Tsugakuni and everyone else, while Iyeas began to distribute tableware to everyone.

The dishes on the table are all simple home-cooked meals. This small restaurant is close to the security station, and the taste and price are good.

These people were not the first to come.

"Thank you."

Yuichiro Tsugikuni really likes such small gatherings.

While he was still in his hometown, many of his friends died one after another.

As an old man, he often spends his time alone.

Now that he is young again, he cherishes this kind of friendship.

Even if it’s just eating some rice balls together and chatting about some everyday topics.

But for him, this was the life he had always longed for.

"Yuichi, don't always make rice balls."

"You have to eat some meat, too."

Sai Liu watched Ji Guoyuan eating the rice ball on his plate as usual.

She smiled and picked up a piece of meat for Ji Guoyuan.

After this period of adjustment, Seliu has come over some of the previous things.

She has changed a lot now compared to before.

Yuichiro Tsugikuni could feel that she was much less impatient.

"Yeah, rice balls are not as delicious as meat."

"I feel that being able to eat meat is the happiest thing in the world."

Iyeas picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth. He squinted his eyes and chewed the meat with a somewhat exaggerated expression.
