054: Luring the snake out of the hole(1/2)
Maybe there really is one who meets the conditions?
Recalling what happened before, Esdeath couldn't 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 that you fall in love with at 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, Esdeath walked to the balcony.
No……
not like this.
Looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, Esdeath's eyes were firm.
Recalling what happened during the day, she reflected on her series of unreasonable and abnormal actions.
It's not like she has never seen a man's body before.
During interrogations, or when conquering enemies on the battlefield, she had done the torture of stripping them naked and torturing people's self-esteem.
But when she thought about how she would touch a man's body with the desire to watch, Esdeath's heart beat faster involuntarily.
This is really terrifying.
Although I thought about falling in love before.
But after she really encountered the "opportunity", she thought that falling in love would disturb her mood.
Let's leave this matter alone.
Falling in love or something... will only affect the speed at which I draw my sword!
"Let's discuss the martial arts meeting later..."
With this thought in mind, Esdeath tore the letter into pieces and let the fragments float into the night sky.
…
the other side.
After leaving the palace during the day, Luye returned to the police force.
After treating the three of Iyeas to a feast, he began to learn the work of a guard captain.
This job is actually not complicated. Just like Oja, apart from occasionally patrolling the streets, most of the time is idle.
Moreover, just on the first day of taking office, Lu Ye discovered that this position has many conveniences.
Not only all kinds of local snakes climbed up, spitting out a lot of bribes, trying to hug Lu Ye's thigh.
And more importantly, Lu Ye can arrange the patrol routes of the security team at will and let his men act according to their own will. In this way, whether it is himself or the night raid, the work in the imperial capital can be smoother.
unfold.
He worked until evening, and just as Lu Ye was getting ready to get off work, a member of the security team suddenly 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 Seliu is absent, even though he was still there this morning."
The matter of leaving early can be said to be big or small.
The most important thing depends on what Lu Ye, the captain of the security team, thinks.
"Oh, she's not feeling well and has already asked for leave." Lu Ye said.
Although no one else knew it, Luye knew that Seleu was investigating the background of the person killed by the night attack team.
Under Lu Ye's best efforts to deceive, she is pursuing her own justice.
And Lu Ye believed that after some time, that girl would understand the situation in the imperial capital.
"But it's really rare, that little girl Seliu actually asked for leave," a member of the security team was a little puzzled, "Obviously she would persist even if she got sick before, but her health is still important!"
"It's probably because Captain Oja died and she was sad," Lu Ye changed the topic, "It's getting late, you'd better go back early. I don't enforce 996 here, so even if you work overtime, you won't get overtime pay."
"I'm sorry, captain, what did you say?" The member of the security team was confused.
"It's nothing. I'm telling you to go home early and rest. The rest of the work will be left to the person on duty tonight."
"Okay, okay."
The setting sun slowly sank into the distant mountains, and night gradually fell.
The lights are brightly lit at night.
Walking on the streets of the imperial capital, pedestrians are bustling.
Without the threat of Zanke, everyone is no longer afraid.
Looking at the passers-by who were like zombies, numbing themselves with alcohol and cigarettes, Lu Ye shook his head and walked towards the outside of the city.
It is true that Zanke threatens the lives of these people.
But the minister is invisibly squeezing the value of people's lives.
The current slump in the imperial capital is largely due to the minister and his power politics.
Corrupt officials are rampant, and crime spreads like bacteria in the sewers in the corners of the imperial capital. Evil deeds are hidden behind laws and transactions, and even if their existence is known, they cannot be easily seen.
…
"What?!" Lubbock screamed, "Captain of the Imperial Guard!!?"
"Stop making 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 hasn't come back yet, but Chitong and Violet are staying in the kitchen eating supper.
"It seems to be successful," Nadjeta calmly took out the cigarette case from her breast pocket, took out a cigarette and started smoking.
Although I was not optimistic that Lu Ye would be promoted before, I didn't expect that he would succeed. This was really an unexpected surprise.
"But I have some doubts," Brad expressed his doubts. "Just by killing Zank, you shouldn't be able to become the captain of the police force. Once Zank dies, there will be many people eyeing this position.
.”
"About this..." Lu Ye said, "I have a very important thing to report. That is that in addition to the captain of the Imperial Guard, I also became the executioner under Minister Ernest."
As soon as these words came out, the whole place suddenly fell silent.
After a while, Nadjeta repeated what Luye said as if she couldn't believe it.
"You said...you became Minister Ernest's...executioner?"
Hill's head was in 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 tell, "Admittedly, if I just relied on the merit of 'killing Zanke', I probably wouldn't be able to be the captain of the God City Guard. But I am.
I killed Zank as a Teigu user, and it was this that made me become the captain of the Imperial Guard, and even allowed me to meet Minister Ernest."
"Hey, what do you mean?" Ma Yin couldn't understand what Lu Ye said.
But Brad on the side grasped the key point.
"Is it because of your status as a Teigu envoy that you were able to meet with the minister and obtain the position?" Brad thought, "But this is unlikely. The minister cannot summon you just because you killed Zanke. If he is so
The only possibility I did was to seize your Teigu. Because the Teigu is more important than the Teigu user. Although the Teigu user is also quite rare, the most indispensable thing in this country is probably people."
"That's right." Nadjeta also agreed with Brad's statement.
Although the beheading of Zanke was notorious, the people he killed were civilians after all, and they had nothing to do with Ernest.
She knew very well that with Ernest's character, he would never easily put people in her inner circle.
"Well, normally, 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."
"Extraordinary moment?" Hill was a little confused.
"Do you still remember that Esdeath suddenly returned to the city?" Luye said, "This is the problem. Now that the imperial capital is attacked on three sides, Esdeath, who was supposed to be guarding 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 people in the north were beaten to pieces by that woman. Here comes the brave and good warrior.
The princes were trained into dogs by Esdeath and then killed."
"No..." At this time, Nadjeta gave a different answer, "That woman will not rest. If she is tired of killing, torture of prisoners is her best way of entertainment. She enjoys the feeling of killing with others.
, so she will not take the initiative to return to the relatively stable imperial capital, she was recalled."
"At this juncture?" Lubbock thought thoughtfully, and then his expression suddenly changed, "Speaking of which, we seemed to have killed the minister's distant expression before..."
"Yes, that's it." Lu Ye snapped his fingers at Lubbock, "I have read the files in the police force. Before, you all killed some local gangsters or officials who did evil, but these are all related to Ones.
It has nothing to do with it. The death of those people can be supplemented by Ernest, but the people who were related to him by blood were killed, which made the minister feel a sense of crisis, so he recalled Esdeath."
After a pause, Lu Ye continued.
To be continued...
