"...When I came here, I had such a plan. If we meet, I hope he can join us, but..."

Looking around the room for a week, Chi Tong retracted his gaze and retreated from the room together with Leona, closed the door again, turned to look at the sky, and fell into deep thought.

"Hei Tong just took the metal plate as a souvenir, but didn't leave any information. He must not want to let him get involved in the affairs between us, so... as expected, let's forget it."

"Really? Well... After all, people can't find it for so long now, so this is the only way. Let's hurry back to the imperial capital. I heard that the Lord of the North, known as the Sword Demon, was recalled to the imperial capital by the emperor. It's time to have a good show to watch."

Holding his hands behind his head, Leoni seemed very open-minded because it had nothing to do with him, so he walked ahead and urged Chi Tong who was still hesitant, wanting him to leave here soon.

"I understand... But, speaking of Leona, that sword demon went to the imperial capital? Does this have anything to do with us? I heard that the northern border under his jurisdiction is much better than the empire. Even though it has been in a state of war for a long time, the people are still You can live and work in peace and contentment, are we being recalled urgently to protect him?"

"No, you are wrong."

On the grass in the courtyard, Leone stopped his steps and shook his head with his back to Chi Tong.

"Although that sword demon is hailed as the Lord of the North by the people of the North, in essence, the North is a dictatorship similar to the current emperor."

"...When the boss persuaded me to join the revolutionary army, he said that the goal of the revolutionary army is to create a peaceful and prosperous world where the people can live in peace. Since the sword demon has already done it, since the people can be happy, then... dictatorship is not dictatorship, and there is another What's the matter? Hasn't the empire been a dictatorship for thousands of years?"

"That's true, but, but... He is a huge stumbling block on the road of revolution. If he wants to defeat the empire completely, and in order to avoid the situation of war after the fall of the imperial capital, such a big warlord will definitely not work, and if he kills He, the empire will inevitably fall into chaos, and the Western kingdom will invade again, and it will be much easier for the revolutionary army to win."

"Then, won't this country fall into the dark age of alien invasion?!"

"Ah...don't get excited, don't get excited, this is just my guess. Now the boss has not received a formal order, and we don't want this country to fall into chaos. This is just one of the possibilities."

Saying this has a very high possibility is not only his attitude towards Chi Tong, but even Leoni himself smiled bitterly. After all... If you don't consider other issues, killing Yong Ye is the most important thing for the rise of the revolutionary army. Good choice.

Although she personally doesn't want to do that kind of thing, but they are the secret executioners of the revolutionary army, and it's not that you can't do this kind of thing if you don't want to do it.

In the end, because of the bad relationship between this topic, the two of them seemed very silent on the way back to the imperial capital, constantly thinking about the possibility of the revolutionary army issuing an assassination order to kill the great warlord Yong Ye.

The imperial capital, which has prospered for thousands of years, has a terrifyingly large population compared to the time it was five years ago, but it has actually undergone tremendous changes.

Poor beggars can be seen everywhere, and occasionally arrogant and domineering people are rampant, but more corruption occurs in the dark. In the north, Yong Ye has also heard of it.

Most of the personal soldiers who brought the imperial capital are left in the mansion given by the little emperor, and Yongye brings two carefully selected ones, which is better than the four ghosts of the Rakshasa Rakshasa who can defeat the emperor's envoy without using the emperor's equipment. Moreover, the black armored bodyguards holding the emperor's tools from Yongye went to the imperial city towering in the center of the imperial capital.

Along the way, take a carriage to reach the imperial city, pass the suspension bridge of the moat and then enter the city from the main gate, all the way straight forward, heading towards the central castle of the imperial city, which is higher than the imperial capital.

The imperial city is an urban area with ascending steps. Like the entire imperial capital, it has three floors. There are all maids serving the little emperor and guards protecting the imperial city. Other than that, the only people who are allowed to live here are only Only the ministers and the generals, the two peak civil and military officials, and some people who are trusted by the emperor, can live there.

Although Yongye is at its peak, he has stayed in the north to fight for a long time. The relationship between the little emperor and him is not very good, and naturally he will not live there. After all, he does not want to stay in the guards who are all Bude. 's court.

"—Waiting for your visit, General Yongye, because you arrived at the imperial capital a day earlier without prior notice, the sudden incident really caught me off guard, so I was not able to welcome it far, I'm really sorry, Your Majesty The morning meeting is being held, so let Nishinomiya, my minister's assistant, lead the way for you."

Standing in front of the gate of the castle in the center of the imperial city is a middle-aged man with glasses. He took a step forward and bowed to Yong Ye in the carriage with his hands on his chest.

"...Let's go."

The carriage jumped up and down, glanced at the minister's assistant, but responded indifferently, and then stepped into the central castle on foot.

In fact, I came to Yongye once and knew the way here, so in fact he and two personal guards walked in front, and the assistant followed carefully.

In front of the stone pillars on the left and right, in the passages with a large number of exquisite paintings and gorgeous works of art displayed on both sides, there is a fully armed guard with a shield and a halberd.

Yong Ye led two bodyguards in black armor, without a word, with a heavy pressure that made people breathless, walking on the passage leading to the center of the castle in the imperial city, the soldiers along the way put their hands on their chests. Bow your head in salute.

It has a high ceiling that makes people have to raise their heads up. The top is about ten meters high. At the end of the passage guarded by several gates and a large number of guards, there is a golden gate as high as a city gate. .

From this closed door, the solemn atmosphere that overwhelms the viewers overflows. Just standing in front of it makes people feel awe-inspiring. There is no doubt... It was a gate that cost a lot of money to build, at least this gate Definitely pure gold and not gilded.

Here, in the depths of the palace, the emperor summoned his courtiers to discuss matters—the Council Chamber.

"Lord Yongye, please let your guards wait by the side. Your Majesty, the minister and General Bude are all waiting for you."

"Ok."

Responding nonchalantly, Yong Ye also asked the guards to wait by the side.

"...Then... please come in."

Although he was a little concerned about Yong Ye still carrying a weapon on his waist, the minister's assistant, Nishinomiya, did not dare to say anything to Yong Ye when Yong Ye was indifferent. Pull inward.

The four guards immediately stepped forward and pushed open the golden gate, then bowed their heads in unison.

Step into the golden gate and enter the interior of the council hall.

In the field of vision, there is a vast space covered with a red carpet. There are many officials wearing green uniforms similar to military uniforms standing on both sides of the red carpet. There are many grooves on the surrounding walls, and the grooves are holding weapons. Soldier stone carving.

The interior of the conference hall is gorgeously decorated, with luxurious chandeliers with many bulbs hanging from the soaring ceiling, and a large number of square windows for lighting at the height of the surrounding walls.

Contrary to the spaciousness of the room, there are actually not many things in it. The most striking place is naturally the deepest part of the hall. From a total of eleven sections, there are about one person high stairs, the golden throne.

Sitting on the throne was a little boy wearing a blue robe and a hat decorated with blue and white as the main color of gold, holding a whole body of gold in both hands, and a scepter with a round gem on the top half.

The little boy sitting on the throne is the supreme ruler of this big country, but... he sits on the throne but his feet can't touch the ground, which makes people feel quite funny, but because there is no one beside him Dare to make fun.

In the throne hall above the council hall, on the side of the little emperor's golden throne, stood a tall man on the left and right.

On the right is a bloated man with a big belly who keeps eating meat in his hand. It is the chaotic minister Ornest who is said to be manipulating the young emperor to carry out endless tyrannical politics.

On the left is a bloated man who is exactly as bloated as the minister, with muscles as strong as a rock, wearing armor and a red cloak and exuding a lean body, leading the palace guards, upright and old-fashioned, serving the empire wholeheartedly, His existence prevented the minister from replacing the little emperor, but was equally unwilling to intervene in politics, the old stubborn General Bude.

Yong Ye glanced around, and after observing the internal environment, he didn't think much about it. With everyone looking at him, he stepped directly on the red carpet and stopped until he reached the front of the stairs.

"General Eternal Night, it took five years for the Western Kingdom to fight an unprecedented battle in the past five hundred years. It's really hard work! As a reward, I have prepared 100,000 gold as a reward!"

"...Thank you very much, Your Majesty. Now that the North Territory is after the war, it's the time when you need money."

The little emperor's reward, Yong Ye naturally chose to accept it without hesitation, but... the tone was a little cold, and he didn't get down on one knee.

The little emperor didn't care, and the minister turned a blind eye to it, because the highest-level officials were indeed exempted from kneeling, and he himself had never kneeled the little emperor, but... Bud couldn't help frowning.

It's not because of anything else, it's because Yong Ye's attitude is like a cold version of the minister, and it seems that he doesn't take the emperor's authority in his eyes at all.

"General Yong Ye, you haven't seen Your Majesty for so many years, should you greet His Majesty first?"

"General Bud reminds... Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for five years, and you have grown a lot taller. Remember that you were... six years old when we last met, right? Time flies really fast. In five years, you have changed a lot. I don't even recognize it."

"Really? General Yong Ye hasn't changed at all from five years ago... It's just that his left eye seems to have changed a bit. Was he injured in the battle with the kingdom? Do you want me to let the best imperial doctor in the court help you? Look?"

The little emperor didn't feel much about Yong Ye's words, he just regarded Yong Ye as a normal greeting and asked about Yong Ye's left eye.

"...No need, the left eye has been blind for some time, and there is no cure for it. Now it's just an ordinary disease."

"Really? That's it."

The little emperor put the golden scepter aside, touched his chin, and then looked down at Yong Ye, who had always had a cold face and was as unsmiling as Bude.
