Skilled Pikemen Don't Leash

However, compared with the sadness and anger of the little emperor, at this moment in the imperial capital, there are probably not many people who have time to care about the life and death of the Lord Ornest.Even if this matter is full of doubts, so what?Everything is not important anymore, almost no one of the officials who saw the real situation thinks that Lord Ornest can still wake up.

The political situation that had become a little weird because Jolly returned to Beijing has become more complicated and difficult to understand after such a thing happened.Not to mention other things, the position of the chief minister of the head of the civil service was vacant in an instant, attracting the attention of countless people.

Ornest's serious injury was on the verge of death, which caught everyone off guard. The elders were suddenly headless, and the Qing school and the original plan to fight steadily were completely disrupted.This night is destined to be sleepless, and everyone's eyes are attracted by this sudden power vacuum.

"I did it casually to vent my anger, but I didn't expect...it turned into a shit stick unintentionally." Yiguang stood on the balcony of his mansion, overlooking the night view outside, thinking to himself, "I didn't expect that such a simple scam I set up actually deceived the entire court. Everyone is talking about this father and son cannibalism, who would doubt that I am at home, practicing for my old boss. What about the deputy commander of the foreign army?"

"Lord Lanza, Lord Esdes, the general has invited two of you to go to the palace to discuss matters."

Sure enough, just when Iguang was calculating when the general would come to summon him, Liwa's voice sounded outside the door.

Chapter 164 Chaos Begins in the Imperial Capital

Regarding the serious injury of the minister, because of Sheila's scorched corpse, it is not that no one doubted Yiguang.However, Yiguang at that time did stay at home honestly and held a small farewell banquet for Liwa who was about to take office in the Northland.This banquet not only included Yi Guang and Esdes, but Yi Guang also invited several well-connected generals within the Imperial Army, as well as several Qingliu civil servants who were close to his residence.And these people became Yi Guang's witnesses, providing him with extremely powerful alibi.

"We can prove that General Lanza was with us all the time except for about 10 minutes to go upstairs to look for things, and finally sent us out very enthusiastically. He absolutely had no time to commit crimes."

Facing the impeccable testimonies of this group of foreign generals of the Forbidden Army and civil servants of the "conscience faction", even if someone wanted to force this matter onto Yi Guang's head, they would be powerless.You know, Yi Guang's mansion is located in the inner circle near the imperial palace in the north of the city, but the special prison where the minister and Sheila were killed is located in the outermost circle in the east of the city, and the straight-line distance between the two is more than ten kilometers.If you want to reach the accident site within 10 minutes, then kill the minister and Sheila, destroy the entire prison, and then return home...

"Which one of you has the ability to walk 10 kilometers in 10 minutes, kill people and demolish the prison, and show me? I don't doubt that Chief Lansa can demolish the prison, but you let him do [-] kilometers in [-] minutes, and at the same time The prison is about to be demolished... do you think we are staff?"

A certain general of the Imperial Army refuted this when facing the elders' accusations against Yiguang.And this is also the thinking of almost everyone in the Qingliu faction and the military, and even many veteran factions themselves.After all, this is really too much nonsense.On Yiguang's side, there was a room full of guests who could serve as witnesses.

As a result, Yi Guang was easily cleared of the crime, and almost no one felt that he had the ability to commit the crime of murdering the father and son of the minister.How do they know that the truth is so unbelievable?

In fact, at that time, only Sheila's body was fighting against the minister, but Yiguang's soul was inside.After Sheila was infused with "spiritual pollution" by Yiguang, he became Yiguang's marionette.Although he is usually crazy, when Yiguang needs it, he can remotely connect his spirit to Sheila's body and perform activities.Last night, it was Yiguang who invaded Sheila's will and engaged in a fierce battle with the minister.

As for why the minister went to prison, it was naturally because Yiguang gave him a spiritual hint when he met his eyes when he was above the court.Although it wasn't enough to have a mind-controlling effect on him, it was enough to make him have a vague idea of ​​"going to see my trash son".When he came to Sheila, Iguang manipulated Sheila's body and attacked the minister.

This is also the reason why Yi Guang left the banquet for 10 minutes at Liwa's farewell banquet. In order to be able to manipulate Sheila to fight against the minister in a complete state, he entered a sleep state in his room.Injected his own spirit, and about 40.00% of his power, into Sheila's body.

But even so, he failed to kill the minister on the spot.The minister, who usually looks bloated and stupid like a fat pig, showed amazing strength in this battle. In 10 minutes, with Sheila's physical fitness and about [-]% of her own strength, she can only compete with the minister evenly.Although I know that in the original manga, the minister suppressed Leonai who used Teigu's "King of Beasts" animalization only with his own physical strength, but it is far beyond his reach to be so powerful. Hiko's prediction.

Although it is a pity, but the minister was seriously injured, and it really made Yiguang let out a bad breath.As for the serious injury of the minister, the storm that swept the court and the opposition... This was an unexpected effect.

"Lansa, you immediately lead the foreign troops and horses to block the entire imperial capital and all the city gates. You are only allowed to enter the city, but you are not allowed to leave. Strict investigations must be carried out on those who enter the city to prevent people from fishing in troubled waters." After that, the general ordered Yiguang, "Also, General Esders, you lead the Northern Legion and are on standby at any time. The other three legions of the Guards will also cooperate with you to act, please listen to the orders of the military at any time. ."

"understand……"

Hearing the command of the general, Yiguang was taken aback.He seriously injured the minister, and he was no longer qualified for the position of the head of the civil service.Then next, the elders faction and the Qingliu faction, the battle over this power, will naturally start immediately.The strength of the elders, in addition to political power, economic and military power, are all in the fiefs outside the imperial capital.If they want to do something small at this juncture, they must connect and communicate with the local nobles, so that they can force the central government with local strength.

But the minister's serious injury and coma were too sudden.Everything was like five years ago, when the late emperor died suddenly, and the Qing school was caught off guard.After all, it was a man as strong as a monster, who would have thought that he would suddenly be on the verge of death.

So, at this time, the benefits of the Qingliu faction uniting the military appeared.The Imperial Army under Yi Guang blocked all the gates of the imperial capital almost immediately.Guards horses also quickly began to gather at the entrances and exits of various official roads.The internal affairs system of the entire empire began to operate in a state of madness.In particular, those supervisory agencies and judicial organs were very busy, and the entire imperial capital spent the night in panic.

In addition to the various forces in the imperial capital, the "Night Attack", which was temporarily dormant because of Yi Guang's warning, quickly sensed the unusual aura in the imperial capital.After all, the minister was seriously injured and on the verge of death, such extremely important news could not be concealed even if he wanted to.Although Yiguang blocked the city gates and prohibited the outflow of all news, it was not impossible to deliver news under the blockade even with the technology of the Empire.In addition to Yiguang, the Revolutionary Army also had other allies within the empire, and there would always be someone who would release news to let them know.

However, by the time "Night Raid" knew about this, it was already noon the next day.

"The minister was seriously injured and was dying, and the entire imperial capital is now in chaos... Everyone, our chance has come." Looking at the news sent by the inner responders in the imperial capital, Najehitan's expression was somewhat complicated at the "Night Attack" The crowd said, "Because of the sudden injury of the minister, he can no longer control the affairs of the entire empire. This sudden power vacuum will inevitably lead to chaos in the imperial capital. Whether it is the minister's henchmen, the officials of the 'conscience faction', or even the It's the military that has always been neutral...they're all going to join the fight."

"So, do we have a chance?" Brand asked with a frown, "Take advantage of the internal chaos to capture the imperial capital?"

"Yes, the interior of the empire is extremely unstable. The battle between the 'senior faction' and the 'conscience faction' where the minister belongs has a long history. Five years ago, when the minister took the position, a fierce conflict broke out." Najeshtan points out He nodded, "But that time, the minister and others had been planning for a long time, so the situation was quickly stabilized. But this time, the minister suddenly collapsed, and no one was prepared in advance. Now the interior of the imperial capital has become chaotic. A group, for the power left by the minister, there will be a life-and-death struggle within the empire. And this time is a good time for our activities. "

"Do you want us to assassinate, and then make this pool of water more muddy?" Lubbock rolled his eyes, "Isn't this what we have always been doing?"

"But, is the warning from Lanza really okay?" Brand frowned, "Hill and Main are still in his hands."

"Is Lanza's warning? It doesn't matter now. After all, our worst enemy, the minister, has fallen into a serious injury that is almost incurable. His henchmen should also be busy fighting for power now, and they have no time to take care of him." Najessie Tan shook his head, "We must sneak into the imperial capital, expand our influence, and at the same time make the water in the imperial capital even more muddy, so that our army has a chance to break away from the current situation of being surrounded by the imperial army, and take advantage of the chaos to go north and take the imperial capital. ."

"That's fine..." The aggressive Leona said eagerly, "So, who is our first target?"

"Wait a minute, this is not good." Brand frowned, "The guards and the Imperial Army have blocked the entrance and exit of the entire imperial capital. It is too dangerous for us to carry out activities at this time?"

"The danger is indeed great, but it is not without opportunities. I know a few safe paths to sneak into the city, and the defense there should be easier." Chi Tong, who usually doesn't express his opinion, also said, "And the empire has such self-chaos. The situation is extremely rare, and the risk is worth it.”

"And we can take advantage of this time to negotiate with Lanza and see what he wants to do." Najeshitan pondered, "Now that the imperial capital is in chaos, no one should have time to take care of us. At this time, This is the perfect time for us to engage with Lanza."

So, in Brand's worried eyes, "Night Attack" decided the next action target.

At this turbulent moment, Yi Guang came to the cabin where Maine was under house arrest, found Tazmi, and said to him with a serious expression:

"Boy, haven't you always wanted to make achievements? Now, I have a chance for you. Would you like to try it? However, it is up to you to see if you can succeed."

Chapter 165 Tazmi and Maine

"Lan, General Lanza..."

Looking at Iguang who suddenly appeared in front of him, Tazmi showed a look of astonishment and confusion.The general, who had never been here in the past few days, suddenly came here in a hurry, with a serious expression, which made Tazmi a little unaccustomed.And Maine, because of Yi Guang's face, did not dare to glare at him like usual.

"Don't be nervous, it's just that the imperial capital is in a mess now, and I'm just a little tired now." Yi Guang waved his hand and softly comforted Tazmi.From the second half of last night, after accepting the order of the general, martial law was imposed on the imperial capital.Yiguang has been circling the entire imperial capital. Until now, he has had the opportunity to sneak in and come to this place to solve the problems of Tazmi and Maine.

Although as the larva of the ancient god, Yiguang will not be like an ordinary person who gets tired because of this little thing, but this is only physical, and mentally, Yiguang does feel that his brain is not enough.

"General Lanza, what's the matter?" Tazmi had experienced various encounters during this period of time, his knowledge and vision had grown to a considerable extent, and he could see Yiguang's abnormality at a glance.At the same time, because of some inexplicable emotion, he vaguely protected Maine behind him.

"The minister is seriously injured, it is almost impossible for him to wake up again." Yi Guang pondered for a while, and said to the two little guys, "The entire imperial capital is in some kind of secret riot, and the imperial army under my command has sealed the entire The imperial capital. The guards have also blocked all official roads leading to the imperial capital... You know what I mean?"

"What?! Minister, is the minister said to be dead?" Maine, who was frightened by Yiguang's gloomy face, was also taken aback when he heard the explosive news, and then said subconsciously, " Could it be that we succeeded?!"

"Wake up, if 'Ye Raid' had this kind of ability, you wouldn't be caught here by me." Yi Guang curled his lips and said lightly, "It was the minister's son who turned against him and then confronted him. When the time came, they all perished together... Tsk tsk, this is the ending that suits this scumbag father and son."

"This……"

Hearing this sentence, not only Maine, but also Tazmi was a little surprised.Due to Yiguang's influence, the soldiers of the Imperial Army who were responsible for guarding the place were also very disliked by the ministers and their sons.When Tazmi chatted with them, they often referred to them as "scumbags" and "evil thieves". The so-called "those who are close to the vermilion are red, those who are close to the ink are black". Under the influence of these soldiers, Tazmi is also similar. Knowing what kind of virtue the father and son of the ministers are, you probably know the status quo of the empire.

Now I heard that the big traitor who covered the sky with one hand in the imperial court died so easily and suddenly, and in such an unimaginable way.The faces of the two boys and girls couldn't help but show a confused expression.

This is too challenging people's common sense, right?

"Okay, okay, let's talk about this kind of thing later." Yi Guang waved his hand, "You can't stay here any longer."

"Isn't it safe here?" Tazmi was not stupid, and immediately responded, "Are you trying to bring us into the city? But according to what you said, it is not safe in the imperial capital. After all, this chaos Isn't the source within the imperial capital?"

"No, the imperial capital is safer." Yi Guang shook his head. "At least, it's safer than here. The guards have already assembled around here. They are not here for drills, but to deal with possible incidents from other provinces. Rebels."

"Rebels? Revolutionary Army?" Maine's expression changed slightly.

"Maybe, maybe not." Yi Guang said vaguely, "In this kind of chaos, anyone with ambition wants to take a piece of the pie."

"Then, Lord Lanza, how are you going to settle us?" Tazmi asked. "Now that the imperial capital is in chaos, aren't you afraid that you are in danger? You know, Maine is..."

Obviously, after getting along for this period of time, Tazmi has understood what kind of person this girl he is taking care of is.Although it was a bit surprising at first, Tazmi quickly accepted the reality.After all, the current Maine is just an ordinary little girl under house arrest.

"Well..." Yi Guang smiled and said, "Do you remember what I said to you just now? If you want to stand out, this is the best time."

"What?" Tazmi was confused.

"The imperial capital is now in chaos, and the Imperial Guard and the Guards have all begun to mobilize." Yi Guang sighed and said, "Although this is not a war, whether it is the consequence of this commotion or its effect in the eyes of everyone The value is far more than war. On the battlefield, you can get the chance of promotion by making meritorious deeds. In this turmoil, as long as you perform well, you can still make progress in the future. It depends on you, whether you have the courage and the desire."

"This, of course... I came to the Imperial Capital for this!" Tazmi thought for a while, "Please tell me, what should I do?"

"My adjutant, for some reason, is going to leave the imperial capital and work in the northern district. So, I need a deputy who can help me. I wonder if you are interested, do you have the courage?"

"Tazmi! Don't listen to him!" But at this moment, Maine suddenly made a noise and grabbed Tazmi, "This guy just said, now the imperial capital has fallen into chaos and is very dangerous. However, What he means now is to let you step into the chaos. It's too dangerous, Tazmi!"

"Miss Maine, what you said doesn't make sense." Yi Guang smiled slightly, "You join the rebel army and join the 'Night Raid', what's the difference between you and I let Tazmi go on an adventure? It's also just a killer. , please don't think too much of your so-called 'revolutionary army'."

"You, we rebel against the tyranny of the Empire, and you are making Tazmi your accomplice..."

"Miss Maine, I told you a long time ago, don't think so noble of the so-called 'revolutionary army'. I also hope you, don't believe those guys' so-called Western aliens and revolutionary army' and the same "Family's nonsense." Yi Guang sneered, "And I have investigated your past, you are a mixed-race child of the empire and Western aliens. I don't understand this, a child born because of war and aggression, but a child who was born because of war and aggression. The unfortunate nation of its own mother has an inexplicable favor. Miss Maine, can you explain to me, what is the reason for this? In the way I think, in every sense, you should hate to make you Is your mother an unfortunate Western alien? Or do you think your birth made your mother happy?"

"You, you are not allowed to insult my mother!" When Maine heard this, she was immediately angry, "You are not allowed to insult her!"

"Maine..." Tazmi hurriedly stepped forward to stop Maine's attack, "General Lanza, it seems a little too much for you to say that."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I corrected it. The birth of every child should be a kind of happiness for its mother." Realizing that something was wrong with himself, Yiguang sighed in a low voice, "But your mother, let you be born. The process must be some kind of humiliating memory, and it is the alien race in the West who gave her this memory. Maybe, my words did insult your mother, but the root of all this is not the alien race in the West Is it caused by the invasion of your mother? Compared to me just speaking ugly, those Western aliens are the real insults to your mother, aren't they?"

To be honest, when I first watched the anime, Yiguang once complained about Maine's life experience.Judging from the information obtained in the anime, Maine, as a mixed race between the empire and the desert, has wandered on the streets since childhood and was discriminated against by the imperial people, which is why she joined the Revolutionary Army and the "Night Raid".

However, considering the series of information that Yiguang had obtained after coming to this world, because of the harsh geographical environment in which he was located, and the long-term policy of opening the borders of the empire, the three different nations around him had all had long-term and long-term relations with the empire. There were almost uninterrupted wars—in other words, on the borders of the empire, the relationship between the citizens of the empire and the foreign nations in the West had hardly ever been harmonious, and it was only natural for the citizens of the borders of the empire to be discriminated against.

Not only that, five years ago, when Yiguang was acting as a trader in the area occupied by the revolutionary army on the western front, he had seen more than once along the way that while the revolutionary army vigorously advocated peace between the two ethnic groups and maintained stability and order, the small areas in their territory were small. Large-scale civil conflicts are also constantly occurring, and the local people are also quite critical of the actions of the revolutionary army and Western foreign nations to join forces, which shows how bad the relationship between the two sides is.

Under such circumstances, he did not think that, as a mixed-race child, Maine, who had been discriminated against and bullied since childhood, would be the child of a love that crossed races.No matter how to infer, about Maine's life experience, all Yiguang can think of, can only be the child of a certain poor imperial woman who was violated during the looting of a foreign nation.Just like what Yiguang had seen in news reports before, many children in war-torn areas.

Therefore, Yi Guang doesn't care about Maine's bad attitude towards him, because he knows that he is not a good person now, and at the same time because of a small amount of sympathy.After all, it is indeed too pitiful for a child with such a life experience.

"Miss Maine, I know you hate the Empire, because it does bring you great pain. But please note that the disputes between the Empire and the Western nations are the accumulation of contradictions between the two races for hundreds of years. It's not something that can be solved by changing a government, a minister or an emperor. What you are doing now is not only impossible to fulfill your wish, but... you are doing something that makes your mother sad. Her daughter, working for the murderer who caused her own misfortune, and their allies!"

Chapter 166 Tazmi's Choice

"General Lanza, you are too much, Maine..."

On Yiguang's carriage, Tazmi said to Yiguang rather blamed while hugging Maine, whose eyes were a little dull.Just now, Yi Guang said something that could be called "vicious" to Maine.It can be said that every word is killing the heart, causing Maine to have strong emotional fluctuations in an instant, and she immediately attacked everyone around her like a beast that was completely irritated.

However, in front of Yi Guang's skill, a 15-year-old girl can't make any waves.After arguing for about half an hour, she temporarily fell asleep due to physical exertion and emotional excitement.

"It's really too much." Yi Guang nodded without shyness, "However, this is for her own good. After all, as I said, those so-called 'revolutionary troops' are not a good idea. In order to defeat Empire, and ceding land to enemies who have been fighting for hundreds of years, I can't count on these people to save the Empire."

"And you? Do you think you're saving the Empire?" Tazmi asked.

"Saving the Empire? I don't dare to say such big words, I'm just trying to make it turn in a better direction in my own way." Yi Guang thought for a while, "Now, the minister is dying, our chance, came too."

"What are you going to ask me to do?" Tazmi asked, "to kill your enemies for you?"

"Not only that, I also need a new assistant, maybe an heir." Yi Guang gave Tazmi a deep look, "By now, you should also understand that I, the so-called deputy commander of the foreign military, is a What have you done?"

"Is it the commander of Anbu?" Tazmi recalled the various interactions he had with this general after he came to the imperial capital.

"That's right, it's essentially the same as the 'Night Raid' where this girl is, but we belong to the empire." Yi Guang thought for a while, then added, "Or the military, those who are truly loyal to this country. "

"I see, then, Your Excellency, do you want me to join?" Tazmi asked.

"Yes, now that the imperial capital has changed, it is the moment when the forces of all parties are reshuffled. If you join at this time, you will have a better chance." Yi Guang nodded, "And like I said, Liwa will soon be Leaving the imperial capital and going to another province, I will find someone to take his place. Of course, I will find someone else to handle the intelligence, you just need to help me deal with other matters. I believe that you have such ability. How about you, do you want to try it?"

"This..." Tazmi's expression changed, but at the same time he hesitated, "Can I really do it? General Lanza, why do I think you seem to be special to me?"

Because you are the protagonist of the original book... Yi Guang complained silently in his heart, but he said to Tazmi in a serious manner: "Because I think you do have such a talent, you know, not everyone can At the age of 14, you can kill high-ranking dangerous species alone. Moreover, not everyone with such strength can maintain that level of calm when facing a deadly corpse for the first time. You A born killer, Tazmi."

The carriage galloped all the way and returned to the Imperial City in a short time. Although it was currently under martial law, Yiguang, as the commander of the foreign army, was the boss of these guards. Naturally, no one dared to stop and check in and out, and the road was unimpeded.When Tazmi came to his senses from his thoughts, the carriage had stopped.Looking out of the window, this is the front courtyard of a luxurious mansion.

"Okay, here we are. It's not peaceful outside during this time, so stay with me." Yi Guang opened the car door and led Tazmi and Maine out of the car.Maine was still in a deep sleep and hadn't woken up, so Tazmi had to pick her up and followed Yiguang into the mansion. The luggage in the back seat would be picked up later.

"Welcome back, Lord Lanza... eh? Tazmi, why are you here? Who is that girl?"

As soon as she entered the door, the little maid Shayou came to greet her, and then she saw Tazmi and Maine, who was sleeping in a princess-holding position on his hand, and couldn't help frowning.

"Wait a minute and talk about this, Yusha, go and prepare a room and put this little girl down. Maybe Tazmi and I have to go out again soon, Sayou, this little girl, I'll leave it to you to take care of it. already."

Yi Guang waved his hand, General Liwa was appointed to the Northland, and he was very busy recently, so naturally he couldn't be at home.Esdes rushed to the Guards barracks after the incident last night and is currently stationed outside.Therefore, now there is only Shayou in the house to watch the door, and only Shayou can help take care of Maine.Although Maine's current mental state may not be very stable, Shayou has also learned martial arts, and the level may not be very good in the eyes of Yiguang and Esdes.But to suppress the melee ability of Maine, a sniper who didn't have a gun in his hand, it was an easy task.
