Chapter 122: Under Change, Undercurrent Surges (2/4)
After Ye Du controlled the emperor and made himself a minister, he used his advanced knowledge to promulgate several new policies. He knew that if he wanted to transform the entire empire, he must not be impatient, but should proceed step by step. The corruption of the empire is deeply rooted. , is not something that can be accomplished overnight.
The news of Minister Ornest's death quickly reached everyone's ears, and the people began to cheer after learning the news.
However, they soon worried whether the new minister would be like Ornest, a debauched person who continued to oppress the people.
With the promulgation of Ye Du's new policy, people also began to realize that this man is indeed very different from Ornest, and the new law has improved their quality of life day by day.
Soon, Ye Du's name was widely circulated among the people.
. . . . . .
In the deep mountains ten kilometers north of the imperial capital, there is a building hidden in the forest.
"There's something big going on over there in the Empire.
A 15-year-old man said he had rare long green hair and special gloves on his hands.
He is Lubbock, one of the members of the revolutionary army's assassination squad "Night Raid".
They are a secret team established by the revolutionary army to overthrow the empire's rule. They are responsible for assassinating the bureaucrats of the empire, and their ultimate goal is to kill the root of the empire's corruption - Ornest.
"Ornest is dead, according to reliable sources, poisoned by the Emperor."
Sitting in the center of the crowd is a woman with short silver-white hair, but her right eye is covered with an eye patch, and her right arm is replaced by a mechanical product. Whenever she makes any action, the gears inside the mechanical arm are swept away. The joints creaked, like moaning in pain.
She is Najeta, the leader of the night attack team, and a former general of the empire, a colleague of Esdes, she once felt the darkness of the empire and chose to leave the empire, and her right hand and right eye are the price she once paid ——Chased and killed by Esdes.
"how can that be?"
Tazmi was a little surprised, he couldn't believe that Minister Ornest, who had always been regarded as the ultimate enemy by them, would be removed by the emperor.
If this is true, it also means that their night raid team has no meaning to continue to exist, because their core goal is to assassinate the minister of Ernest, the minister is dead, and they have lost their target.
"Boss, do you think the authenticity of this news is high?"
Beside Tazmi, a slender woman said that she had jet-black hair like waterfalls and eyes that were as red as flames, but there was no expression on her delicate facial features, and a long knife hung around her waist— Red pupil.
Like Nadetta, she was once a member of the empire. She was once ordered to assassinate Nadetta who had defected, but was persuaded by the other party, so she joined the night raid with her.
"According to the information provided by the informant in the imperial capital, the authenticity of this news is very high, but at the same time I also have a question..oooo
Nadetta's hands were crossed and her fingers crossed in front of her, and her expression became more and more serious,
"I was also a general of the empire and served the emperor. He was brainwashed by Ornest since he was a child, and he obeyed the latter's words. I don't think he was the one who could poison the other party...and, if If he really has been hiding his purpose, then his mind is probably far beyond our imagination."
"And what about the new minister?"
Maine asked,
"Ornest is dead, there will definitely be someone to inherit his position, don't come another guy similar to Ornest.
"The name of the new minister is Ye Du, and we don't know his identity information.
Najeta said,
“But for now, this guy called Ye Du has overturned the policy that Ornest had made earlier, but the new policy implemented is quite good for ordinary people, and the lives of many poor families have been improved. 35
"It seems that the new minister is not very bad.
Leona, who was leaning against the wall, said, and cast his gaze on Tazmi.
"Hey, Tazmi, why is your expression so strange?
All eyes moved to Tazmi.
"I-I have a question...
Tazmi swallowed and said,
"Since Ernest is dead and the new minister is not a bad guy, does it make sense for us to go on? Do we need to continue the revolution?35
Tazmi's words caused everyone present to fall into contemplation.
The purpose of their revolution was to overthrow the corrupt rule of the empire, but now that the root of the corruption has been removed, and the new policy has gradually improved the people's living standards, the night raid and the revolutionary army seem to have indeed lost their reason for continuing to act. .
"There may be a road that once you advance, there is no way to turn back.35
Nadetta gave a wry smile and shook her head, then she raised her head again and cast her gaze on the others,
"I'll go to the headquarters to ask the headquarters' opinions, and also let us add staff, Leone and Lubbock, the three of you will go to the imperial capital to verify the authenticity of the matter, and see the new minister Ye How holy is Du, and whether what he did was just a disguise.
"Follow your orders!
. . . . . .
Imperial Capital, a remote but luxurious room 530.
A man is standing by the window, his eyes are cast out the window.
He is a dark-skinned, tall man, the muscular lines on his body are vividly displayed under the thin coat, and the huge muscles on his arms and chest are like rocks.
A fork-shaped scar straddles the bridge of his nose, and on his angular face, it is occupied by a pair of sinister facial features, and a malicious smirk stays on his face all the time.
Sheila, Ornest's son, inherited his father's cunning and cunning.
"I didn't expect that, father, you are also today. You were murdered by someone who was calculated to be poisoned. This is obviously your best field."
Even after learning that her father was killed, Sheila's face still did not have any sad expression, but always had a chilling smile on her face.
In the shadow of the room, another figure emerged, holding a samurai sword in his hand, his eyes were as cold and sharp as a blade.
"Lord Sheila, Ornest's remnants in the palace seem to have been wiped out.
"It makes sense to hide it."
Sheila turned to look at the man he called Izo and said,
"That guy's name is Ye Du, right? It's time to avenge my incompetent father."
