Chapter 204 Meeting the Minister

Chapter 204 Meeting the Minister
As soon as this remark came out, the entire spacious dining room fell silent.

What caught everyone's eyes was a man with purple hair.

His face is thin, but his body is unusually slender, reminiscent of the dogtail grass by the river...

No one in the guard knew him, but everyone recognized the order in the man's hand.

It is a symbol possessed by those in high positions.

And this official order is obviously from Minister Hornest.

Obviously, this unusual-looking man is here to work for the minister.

And the content, as mentioned before.

"Captain of the Imperial Guard?"

Lu Ye was taken aback, he didn't expect the opportunity to come so suddenly.

Not only that, but the other members of the security team were dumbfounded.

Although they are all guessing who will be the new captain of the guard.

They might be transferred from the military, or they might be selected from the elite members of the security force, but none of them expected that this title would fall to Lu Ye, the new kid.

"Yes, it has been decided from above. From today onwards, you will be the new Captain of the Imperial Capital Guard." The corner of the purple-haired man's mouth curled up, "I came to inform you that you will take up your new position as soon as possible, but you must first Come with me."

"What are you doing?" Lu Ye asked.

"Of course it is responsible for taking over Oja's things and affairs, and there is another person who wants to see you." The purple-haired man said, "You killed and beheaded Zanke and proved your strength, so this position is yours."

"Okay, then there's work."

Lu Ye put down the spoon, wiped his mouth with a paper towel, and then stood up.

It was a pleasant surprise.

Unexpectedly, after killing Zanke, a promotion and salary increase would follow immediately.

More importantly, this way, he can enter the palace to find the whereabouts of the fragments.

But when he heard the news, Lu Ye always felt a little stuffy in his heart, feeling like he couldn't breathe.

It's not that the sense of fear that can predict danger has appeared.

Rather, it was a premonition that he was about to be entangled by some trouble...or someone.

Suddenly, the iron dinner plate fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

"Lulululu... Brother Lu Ye!?"

"The captain of the imperial guard..."

The Iyeas trio were all dumbfounded.

They never dreamed that the big brother who was chatting happily with them just a second ago would actually become the captain of the imperial guard at this moment? !

For them, this kind of impact is no less than suddenly digging out a large box of gold from their barren village.

But instead of being surprised, they were more surprised and happy.

Although they were sincerely happy for Lu Ye, Iyeas and the others were also a little selfish.

After all, he had been in the imperial capital for some days anyway.

They have fully understood how important the so-called "human relationship" is.

Three young men came to this strange city and joined the army in order to make everyone in the village live a better life. They thought they could get ahead by virtue of their strength, but they were assigned to the guard.

Not only was he called around by a few seniors with bad personalities, but the salary he got was not very much.

Except for the expenses needed for living, there is very little money that can be sent back.

As for the few newcomers who came in similarly to them, because of their family connections, they had already greeted them internally in advance. Not only did their jobs feel easy, but their monthly wages were also subsidized.

Although I feel resentful, what's the use?
Who told them they were country people, they were not born in a wealthy family in the imperial capital.

From this point of view, Iyeas finally understood what the old village chief said before leaving the village.

——Reincarnation is a technical job.

And now that Lu Ye became the captain of the guard, the three felt that their chance had come.

After all, in the eyes of the three of Iyeas, Lu Ye is not those seniors with bad personality.

If it was him, then through hard work and accumulating credit, he would definitely be able to get a chance to be promoted.

——You don’t need to rely on relationships for promotion, you just need to ensure fairness.

This is the true thought of these three teenagers and girls.

But Lu Ye still doesn't know the inner activities of these three people.

He patted Iyeas on the shoulder: "I'm going out for a while, I'll be back soon, and I'll treat you to dinner then."

"That's for sure!"

……

Sitting in the carriage of the carriage, the bustling streets are outside the curtain.

The air is filled with the sweet smell of pineapples sold on the street, the sound of wheels rolling on the stone road, and the various shouts of vendors.

"So, what's the name of the person I'm going to meet?" Lu Ye asked the "slender" man in front of him.

"Pay attention to your wording, boy." The purple-haired man said, "Introduce yourself, my name is Thorn, and I work for Minister Ornest."

"Ernest...!"

Lu Ye was taken aback, he didn't expect it to be him.

Hearing from the Night Raiders, the culprit that has corrupted the country.

"Let's be honest, the minister has taken a fancy to your ability," Ji said, "the founding emperor made a total of 48 pieces of Teigu, and the person who can use these weapons is one in a million. Can you kill the beheaded Zanke?" , which means that you are also a user of Teigu."

"……Yes."

After a moment of silence, Lu Ye gave an answer.

He probably guessed the minister's intention.

On the one hand, he wants to take the opportunity to manipulate himself and make himself do things for him.

On the other hand, Ornest probably wants to recover the Teigu who beheaded Zank.

After all, every piece of Teigu is extremely powerful. Zanke stole the warden's Teigu before, but now that he is dead, he must hurry up and get it back.

But it's impossible to hand it back, not even in this life.

Because the eye-like Teigu has been taken by Najieta, it is said that she is looking for someone who can use it in the revolutionary army.

"Oh, you have to thank that minister, Ouja concealed the fact that you own Tegu, otherwise your status would be even higher than now, but don't worry, as long as you see that lord, your life will be better and better. The better."

"Thank you for your advice. When I see the minister later, what should I talk to him about?"

"It's not talking," Thorn smiled. "It's obedience. No matter what the lord says, you just need to obey. Believe me, this is the best choice for you."

Almost half an hour later, the carriage stopped at the gate of the palace.

After many investigations, Thorn took the pass and walked into the main gate of the magnificent palace.

However, when Lu Ye was about to follow, Ji stopped him.

"and many more."

"Any questions?"

"People who enter the palace are not allowed to carry weapons."

"I have handed over my saber."

"What about Teigu?" Ji smiled sinisterly.

Lu Ye took a deep breath.

Seeing the poor dagger, it belongs to yes.

He was still thinking just now, when will this weird-looking guy ask about Tegu.

I didn't expect to be waiting here.

"For the Teigu envoy, you can keep the Teigu with you." Ji smiled grinningly, "But I need to know its ability, understand it, this is a necessary measure to protect the safety of the palace."

Without hesitation, Lu Ye took out a delicate long knife from the storage space.

"This is my Teigu, it can be hidden, and the person who is cut by it will suffer from an incurable disease, and will definitely die in pain within three days, and there is no way to save it." Lu Ye said nonsense seriously .

This knife is an ornament placed in Oja's mansion.

That night, when cleaning up the mess, Lu Ye secretly took it away when Seriu wasn't paying attention.

It's nothing else, Lu Ye just feels... If you don't take it for nothing, you won't be able to see these delicate things anyway.

Rather than letting it be divided, it is better to keep it, maybe it will come in handy someday.

No, here comes the use?

Because it is an ornament, the blade of this knife is very beautifully carved, coupled with the ability of Lu Ye's storage space, it is easy to convince Ji. After all, there are still some Teigu in the world that have been lost for a long time, and there are not even records.

As for its ability, that is Lu Ye's purely arguing, more or less copied and pasted Chitong's Teigu - Murasame.

"Well, it's not bad, no wonder you can kill Zanke."

Ji glanced at Lu Ye's knife, smiled, and led Lu Ye into the palace.

Royal Palace.

Looking around, there are resplendent buildings everywhere, as bright as jewels.

These buildings are hundreds of years old, but they are quite well maintained, and there is no trace of structural defects.

And the area of the imperial palace is at least a circle larger than the commercial center of the imperial capital.

This reminded Lu Ye of Yuanzhi Palace.

Although both are palaces, they are both beautiful.

But the beauty of Yuanzhi Palace is a withered beauty.

But this imperial palace is completely glamorous and beautiful accumulated by money and manpower. The huge towers are like a forest made of granite.

And in a remote part of the palace, in a small but very delicate building.

The sound of rushing water came from inside the bedroom on the third floor.

Someone is taking a shower in the bathroom.

After about half a quarter of an hour, the sound of the water flow stopped.

Another minute later, there was the sound of fabrics being rubbed in the bathroom, probably from changing clothes.

Then,

"—Crack."

The door of the bathroom opened, and the oncoming water vapor diffused, and then a tall figure appeared.

The soaked gorgeous silver-blue long hair exudes a faint fragrance, and the long and curled eyelashes are covered with drops of water. As the blinking progresses, the deep ice-blue eyes seem to emit a cold air, trying to take people away. Soul.

The exquisite and perfect facial features are like the hands of a peerless sculptor, and the crystal clear and white skin can be broken by blows.

Estes was only wearing a very loose white shirt.

But even so can't hide her proud figure.

"Phew, it's really refreshing after taking a shower."

While speaking, Estes came to the window sill and looked at the scenery outside, but his heart was a little turbulent.

Again.

This feeling.

Is it true that as the minister said, as a woman, when I reach a certain age, my biological instinct will awaken?
"The urge to reproduce?"

"Oh, it's really a troublesome thing. Forget it, it's still early, let's go to the garden for a while, and take a look at how the new varieties I cultivated are growing."

……

On the road following Thorn, Lu Ye saw guards in full formation patrolling at high intensity like machines that wouldn't get tired.

From every avenue, to the path, and even the forests used for ornamental purposes, there are their figures.

It was true that Chi Tong was right. It is not so difficult to sneak into this place.

The security intensity during the day is like this, but at night?

After some ups and downs, the two finally arrived at their destination.

It was a magnificent church-like building.

Thorn stopped at the door.

"The minister is inside, go in."

"Aren't you together?" Lu Ye asked.

Thorn shook his head: "No, I'll wait for you here after I'm done, remember what I said, just obey."

Lu Ye glanced at him, said nothing, and pushed open the beautifully carved door.

At the foot is a long red carpet, on both sides of the carpet are rows of benches, and at the end of the red carpet is a statue of an angel. Below the statue is a long table filled with various delicacies, wines and fruits .

And a man with a white beard who was so huge that he couldn't even cover his clothes was holding a tray in one hand, and picked up the bloody raw meat from it with the other hand, put half of it into his mouth, and tried to Those teeth tear through muscle fibrous tissue.

It seems that this place was indeed a church before, and the benches on both sides of the carpet are used by believers to pray.

But now there is no faith in this palace anymore, because Ernest doesn't need it.

So the church also became his canteen.

Lu Ye silently took out the heartbeat detector and put it on his chest.

At the bottom of the steps, Lu Ye knelt down on one knee according to the etiquette of the imperial capital, and lightly pressed his right hand on his left chest.

"Little Lu Ye, I have met Minister Ernest."

"Oh, you're... the guard who killed Zanke?"

Ernest pouted and cast his gaze over, his mouth and beard were covered with blood.

Seeing him in front of him, Lu Ye had the feeling that this guy didn't look like a lazy pig, but more like a bear or a hippopotamus.

But at the same time, Lu Ye was convinced that this Ornest had no strength.

It might be a bit inaccurate to say so, it should be - not surpassing my own strength.

If there was a fight, Lu Ye was confident that he could get rid of this fat guy within five moves.

"Yes."

Lu Ye lowered his head while looking at the heartbeat detector on his chest.

Then he gave up the idea of assassinating the minister.

If the heartbeat detector is correct, there are at least twenty people in this church.

And there are nearly 30 people outside guarding each exit.
