"As expected of General Esdes."
"Have you seen that young and handsome general? Let me tell you, he is also a character..."
Hitomi Asa followed Esdes until they came to the gate of the glorious palace, dismounted and walked on foot.This is the first time he has stepped into the highest palace of the empire, and his mood is a bit complicated.Because of the prisoner, he had a very unpleasant quarrel with Esdes and kept a distance.
The guards in the main hall suddenly stretched out their swords and spears and said, "Please remove the weapons."
"You said this?" Asa Yu touched the third eye on his forehead.
Esdes did not look back, but the voice came over: "Meet the emperor, no emperor is allowed."
The vigilance is very strict.It's no wonder that if Teigu, who has the ability to read minds, goes to court, it will be troublesome.
Asahi Hitomi honestly untied Teigu and put it on the plate of the guard.But Estes walked away on his own, and walked up to the hall with his sword, as if nothing was there.
Above the court hall, the little emperor sat upright.Officials on both sides, the first in line was the obese minister with no image, and even Arya was among the civilians, winking playfully.As a result, Asaba smiled back.
It can be said that it is a political mountain, and Asaha returns with a victory as the general recommended by Arya.Arya's status naturally rose.
A pass of praiseless praise, and then Esders reported to His Majesty.Asa Yu always felt that the woman's gaze stayed on him for a while, not sure if it was an illusion.
"I think……"
After all, he has achieved great achievements that the previous emperors could not do. The little emperor Longyan Dayue said cheerfully: "Qing Esdes, just tell me what reward you want."
Esdes said: "No, I will give the reward that your majesty gave me to the soldiers who stayed in the north to thank your majesty for them. Not only that, but Hitomi Asa of the mercenary army made the first contribution during this expedition. If not, I cannot end the war in a month."
Asahi Hitomi knelt down on one knee and didn't speak.He thought to himself: This woman... even if they part ways, will she still take credit for me?
The little emperor said with great interest: "Qing Yuqing, raise your head and let me see you."
Asahi Tong raised her head, her eyes pure.There is no fear, but a little pity for the little child who was placed on the throne, at the age of acting like a spoiled child to his parents.
"What a handsome brave man..." The little emperor was stunned and said happily, "You are the backbone of the empire, so I will make you a majestic general."
This is the power of the ministers to teach the emperor, to seal generals, and to weaken the power of generals.There is actually no real power, just an honorary title.The military power of the Empire is only in the hands of two generals, Bude and Esdes.
In any case, Asahi Hitomi went from a mercenary without an official body to the youngest general in the history of the empire.The promotion speed is as fast as riding a rocket, which can be called a legend.
The emperor also gave many gold and silver treasures.But for the current Asa Yutong, the most important thing is money.
In this court drama, Hitomi Asahi is not the protagonist.He secretly observed the delicate relationship between officials.
Estes is a military general of the minister's faction, and he is faintly feared.Esdes has no desire for power, only the ambition to conquer the enemy.The minister attaches great importance to this, and maintains a relationship of mutual use with Esdes, which is very delicate.
The other faction is the conscience faction, which is basically excluded and persecuted by ministers.The backer behind him is General Bude. The current political situation is chaotic. He chooses to protect himself and never go to court.
Finally, the third-party forces of Hitomi Asaba and Arya.At present, the power is weak, and he appears harmless to humans and animals. He uses the net of interests of the nobles to survive in the cracks, and he looks like he is eating and waiting to die.
It is really difficult to change such a corrupt political environment from the inside out.Asa Yutong just placed a chess piece in the imperial court to make some political capital.
"Love soldiers like a son, and give credit to your subordinates, as expected of Sir Esdes." The little emperor said in distress, "But, what do you want?"
Esdes's power is high, and it has already been sealed.
She showed a rare embarrassed expression, caressed her cheek and said, "If I want to say, I want to have a relationship."
"Huh?" The ministers were shocked.
The little emperor thoughtfully said: "Well, the other party must be a strong man who is worthy of you. What do you think of the minister?"
The minister almost choked on a chicken leg and rolled his eyes: I want to live a few more years.
Esders knelt down on one knee and spoke in a rude manner: "With all due respect, the minister suffers from high blood pressure, and his time is running out."
Minister belly slander: What a rudeness!
"Really..." the emperor muttered.
Esdes was already prepared and came up with his own mate selection criteria:
One, a general-level figure; two, have the guts, even if you are empty-handed, you can go hunting dangerous species with me; three, like me, someone who grew up not in the imperial capital but in the frontier; four, I want to dominate him, so he is older than me I am small; five, a person with a pure smile.
The officials watched curiously and talked a lot: "It is difficult to satisfy the first rule alone."
A certain daredevil appeared in Asaba Hitomi's mind.Although it has not grown up yet, it is still tailor-made for Tazmi.Thinking of this, Asuka revealed a sly smile.
Hmm, why does it feel like so many people are looking at me?
"I heard that it was the relationship between the boss and the subordinate when the expedition was launched, which is inevitable..."
"That's it, it seems that I have to congratulate Lord Esders."
On the side, Arya stomped her feet angrily and cast a sad look.
Asahi Hitomi's head was full of question marks.
What do you all understand?Wait, I don't understand!

Chapter 096 Tavern
In the dream world, Asa Yutong opened her eyes and said hello: "Yo, long time no see."
"I saw you in my dream yesterday, dear hunter."
The puppet girl folded her hands in front of her and nodded slightly.She has been in a dream, waiting for your visit at any time.
"Allow me to check your eyes."
The puppet girl separated her eyelids with her cold fingertips and shook her fingers.Asuka's vision was slightly blurred.
"Sure enough, the consumption of the kaleidoscope is very serious. Lord Alaya seems to have a solution... But that is the next world. Until then, please take care of your eyes and try not to use the kaleidoscope's pupil technique." The puppet girl cared.
Asa Yu smiled helplessly: "Many times, I can't help it. Well, the skilled Sangou jade can already handle most situations. Check the consumption situation in this world since then."
The puppet girl is like a humanoid computer and a competent housekeeper.
"In exchange for one thousand and one 'dead body virus' and 'resurrection medicine', 100 cartons of rice. The echoes of blood you have accumulated have all been used up, and only the rewards during the war are left. Each super dangerous species It is worth 2300 points, and the current point is [-] points."
"Enough is enough." Asaba asked again, "How much is the maximum enhancement in this world?"
""Crimson Eyes" belongs to the low-level martial plane, and the physical quality is limited. Strengthening to the human limit of this world requires 1000 points."
"Then don't worry."
It can be strengthened at any time.Asahi Hitomi's strength can already go sideways in the world of Zhanmei, except for a few general-level monsters, such as Esdes.However, for the time being, it will not be an enemy of it.
Asaha has a hunch that there will be a time to strengthen her physique in the future.He didn't forget how Uchiha Itachi died.The functions of this pair of kaleidoscopes are the most comprehensive, but the side effects are also very serious.Itachi's Susano died young before he developed a complete body.
Asaba Hitomi said, "Exchange the brewing recipe for me."
"Okay, dear hunter."
That's right, Alaya's shop can even buy this kind of stuff.Having money enables the gods to create all things.From Maotai in China to wine in Europe, Asa's eyes are dazzled.
The game of fighting monsters and upgrading after passing the level has become a simulation business game.That's where the fun lies.
The next day, people discovered that the mercenary union had made another big move.Returning from the imperial expedition, the mercenaries also became famous.More than 500 surviving members of the Mercenary Corps of Death are regarded as brave men of the empire.
"How to arrange these people?" Shayou was worried, holding a pile of documents.
In the imperial capital where every inch of land is expensive, buying land and relocating 500 people is simply a fantasy.However, this group of people followed Qian Yutong to lick the blood with the tip of the knife, and they were so determined that they refused to leave even if they were given money to repatriate.
"The time is ripe, it's time for a branch meeting." Asa Yu smiled slightly, "Their strength has passed the test of life and death, and they are worthy of trust."
This is Hitomi Asaba's established strategy.The more than 500 people were dispersed and distributed to all parts of the country, causing the mercenaries to spread in a radial manner.
Tazmi and Iyeas cheered up and said excitedly, "Is it finally time for the organization to grow and develop?"
"Asaba, do you have any ideas?"
Today's Asa Yutong has the status of an imperial general, and her fame is at its peak.As long as he raises his arm, people will flock to him, and I am afraid that the door of the trade union will burst.
But Hitomi Asaba acted casually, leaning on the chair and enjoying Arya's back-beating service.The reason why Sayou was not allowed to come was because Asayu might die if she punched her.
Asaba said, "In order to save the decaying country, let's make wine."
"what?!"
The mercenary union quickly expanded, buying up adjacent storefronts and building a lively tavern.Compared with the crude rice wine in this world, the wine sold by Hitomi Asaba is stronger, and there are many kinds of tricks.Fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, and the brewing workshop is opened in the hometown, allowing the fathers and the villagers to make money together.
Their wish has come true, to save the poor and backward villages.
Asami Hitomi shook the glass, took a sip, and tried the new wine she just invented.Hill silently followed behind, and Asaba handed her the wine glass.The glasses girl took a sip and was so hot that she stuck her tongue out, looking very cute.
Tazmi pointed at him and shouted, "So, it's just that you want to drink it!"
"No, Tazmi, do you still remember the first day we came to the imperial capital? I tasted all kinds of fine wines in the imperial capital." Asaba's face sank, "I then understood why there is no good wine in the countryside. The villagers I can't eat anymore, how can I still have surplus grain to make wine."
"Did the nobles drink wine? No, it was the blood of the commoners."
Everyone was touched.
Tazmi was moved: "It turns out that you already had a plan from that time..."
"No, I'm just thirsty." Asuka scratched her head and said, "It's really fragrant."
The crowd fainted.
Hill was like a maid who received a reward and drank her wine obediently.
Asahi Hitomi took back the goblet, played with it in her hand, and said, "Alcohol is addictive. Civilians cannot afford to drink alcohol. As long as the mercenary tastes fine wine for the first time, he will never be able to get rid of it. If you drink it, just go to the task honestly, constantly squeeze yourself, and live a life of drunken life and death.”
Sometimes the answer is as simple as that.Want to expand the power of mercenaries?Then build a tavern.
Once, British capitalists used a small cup of sweet tea to give workers the illusion of filling their stomachs, thereby squeezing labor.There are similarities.
The sun shines into the windowsill, forming a light path through the dust in the air.Asa Yutong sat in the backlight, and the corners of her mouth drew a beautiful arc, but everyone was speechless.
Years later, someone looking back on the fall of the empire may dig out the truth from history.Was it a powerful revolutionary army that overturned the empire?A religion that brainwashes people?Or an unmatched powerhouse?
No, just a bowl of wine.
Esders walked into the bustling street and met the most wealthy merchants here.
"From today onwards, the garrison will be in charge of me."
The businessman squeezed his sweat, skillfully took out a bag of money, and said with a smile: "A little trifle, no respect~"
"Oh?" Estes raised the corner of his mouth.
If Asaba was there, I knew it was a prelude to the Queen's rage.
