The fist stopped near Liuxia's abdomen.

Only a strong wind blew up Liuxia's clothes.

"Hmph, but you're doing pretty well."

Above the head, General Bude's unkind and cold voice came, "Before you revealed it, I didn't even expect that there was such a scum among my men."

He withdrew his fist and turned around, "But you can stop me as long as possible. It's fine, but now the empire is the time to use people. Some evil habits can be tolerated. It's not too late to punish after solving the trouble."

"I see."

Liuxia raised her head, the golden luster in her eyes had long dissipated and turned back to the original amber color. "Since the general said that, there is no reason for his subordinates to disobey."

This is also expected.

Once Liuxia defeated too many generals, it would definitely attract General Bude's attention, but he didn't expect the other party to come so quickly.

The imperial general and the minister Onester were the heads of military generals and civil servants respectively. Of course, as generals, as military generals, cannot interfere in court affairs, but if the general decides to protect the generals under his command, the minister will not be able to stop them.

So far, ministers have been able to make a comeback in the field of power. No official will have a good end if he angers him. However, he rarely attacks the generals of the empire. If he wants to take action, he will definitely be like Liuxia. He needs to have a "conclusive" evidence and use the help of the emperor. There is even a precedent for some civil servants of the conscience faction to take action after being protected by the general.

Moreover, this general seemed to be very upright. He did not really get angry because Liuxia attacked his subordinates, and his words also showed contempt for those generals with problems. Judging from his words and deeds, he might be one of the few people who really worry about the empire.

But unfortunately, the more loyal he is, the more Liuxia wants to erase him.

"I heard that you are very good at investigating intelligence."

General Bude spoke to Liuxia in a statement tone: "Don't deny it, otherwise the two generals under my command will not be easily defeated by you."

"I have a task to hand over to you."

Without giving Liuxia the chance to refuse, General Bude said the content of the task on his own.

"The assassin named [Needle] came and went freely in the palace several times, assassinating important officials and imperial envoys several times. The danger was very high, and it was even enough to threaten His Majesty the Emperor! But unfortunately, no one could find out the origin of that guy-"

When talking about the undead, Bud's whole body felt a shocking low pressure, exuding a strong sense of oppression, as if a volcano was about to erupt in his body.

"In any case, the only assassin who threatens His Majesty's safety will not be tolerated! Liangyi, I order you to investigate the origin and purpose of the dead immediately, and capture him as quickly as possible!"

Liu Xia raised her eyebrows slightly without any trace.

"If the general gives orders, subordinates should obey it."

He agreed with respect, and then said, "But, I am frank, General, the strength of the undead is probably not something our imperial guards can compete with. It is almost impossible to capture him."

"You don't have to worry about the arrest, you can only be responsible for the investigation."

General Bude put his hands on his chest and said with a cold expression: "As long as there is any information, you can notify me. I will personally capture the criminal and execute it in public!"

"I see."

Liu Xia knew it, bowed slightly, and took over the task issued by General Bude.

"I heard that you killed an imperial envoy as soon as you took office and caught a night attack killer. Your ability is beyond doubt."

General Bude paused and continued, "After the matter is completed, you can take office in the military camp. I can promise you the position of general. It is easier than working under the command of the minister and has a lot of prospects."

After saying this, without waiting for Liuxia to reply, he left the minister's palace on his own, as if he was reluctant to stay in the minister's palace for a second.

"Ha, it's much easier?"

While biting the meat chop hard, the minister silently complained in his heart, "Where is it easier? This old stubborn man who is not familiar with the world!"

Based on the poison in the body, no matter what kind of request Liuxia makes, as long as it is not too much, he will agree without saying a word. Is there an easier and easier way to work than this?

This is not a subordinate, but a father.

"General Bud can really think of it when he asked me to deal with the dead."

After Bud left, the respectful appearance that Liuxia pretended to be disguised gradually disappeared and she sat on the chair opposite the minister. "I obviously broke off two generals under him before, but in the end I even entrusted me with important tasks."

"That's what that old stubborn is."

The minister glanced at Liuxia, whose attitude became casual, and kept a smile on his face, "Although he would not interfere in political matters, he would not be able to help but promote him when he saw excellent young people. He was a good general who was truly worried about the prosperity of the empire."

"Isn't General Esdes back? Isn't it easier for her to deal with the dead spirit than me?"

Liuxia did not agree with the minister's statement, but just asked the other way around.

"General Esdes has other tasks recently."

The minister took another bite of the meat cutlet, "Although the [Night Attack] has been forgotten recently due to the activeness of the [Night Attack], the danger of the Night Attack is actually not worse than that of the Necromancer. After all, behind the night Attack is the support of the South, General Esdes has been dealing with the Night Attack recently."

The traitor in the south.

This traitor refers to the Revolutionary Army of course.

Because the Demon White Falcon stayed at the night attack base for a while, and there were ministers as sources of information, Liuxia naturally knew the origin of the night attack.

In a nutshell, it is the force formed by the Revolutionary Army to assassinate the high-level imperial leaders and collect the imperial instruments that were lingering outside.

If there is no such great force behind it, it is almost impossible to form a killer group with multiple imperial envoys.

But in other words, the night attack with the backing of the revolutionary army is not inferior to the [Nether] in terms of threat. At least the necromancer can come and go freely in the palace, but under the protection of General Bude, it is impossible for the little emperor to assassinate, but the existence of the night attack is enough to shake the state's power.

Asdes, who returned to the court, is currently working on dealing with the night attack.

That's fine.

Liuxia didn't want to face that woman head-on too early. At least he did not intend to have a head-on conflict with Esdes when his goal of weakening the imperial combat power had not been achieved.
