Chapter 127
"Eh......?"
Hei Tong's words immediately confused Sibiya.
Only Chelsi understood what Hei Tong wanted to express.
She also felt that the atmosphere between Bai Ye and Sibiya was indeed a little subtle.
Her potential "enemy" suddenly had another one, which made Chelsi sigh slightly in her heart.
............
After the attack of the three beastmen failed, the convoy did not encounter any threats until it arrived at the imperial capital.
Of course, they were already not far from the imperial capital.
When the carriage drove into the gate of the imperial capital, the guards at the gate immediately let it go after learning that it was former minister Jolly.
Although Minister Ernest and Jolly were mortal enemies, they did not dare to let anyone openly target Jolly in public.
At least Jolly was protected by General Budd, and he did not want to tear his face with General Budd so quickly.
So the most that Minister Ernest could do was to send assassins to assassinate Jolly. This time, he played a trick to completely deteriorate the relationship between General Bud and "Night Raid".
As Jolly's carriage slowly drove into the imperial capital, Riva, Niu and Daidas had already come to Esdeath's side.
"Lord Esdeath, when we were assassinating Jolly, we encountered Lord Bai Ye."
Riva immediately knelt on one knee, "Lord Bai Ye insisted on stopping us. After weighing the pros and cons, we decided to retreat temporarily..."
Niu and Daidas also knelt on one knee and dared not breathe.
After all, if the mission fails, it should be severely punished normally.
Even if it is excusable this time, it is hard to say whether Lord Esdeath will forgive them.
"Bai Ye appeared... It's okay, I don't blame you for this failure."
Esdeath forgave the failure of the three beastmen.
Hearing this, Niu and Daidas were relieved immediately.
"In that case, Bai Ye should also follow Qiao Li's convoy to the imperial capital, right?"
Esdeath was particularly concerned about Bai Ye's affairs.
"It is very likely, but it is not ruled out that Qiao Li will hide in seclusion to save his life."
Liva said.
"Yes."
Esdeath nodded slightly, "In addition, the plan has been terminated. Now that the minister's conspiracy has been exposed, there is no point in continuing to implement it. Instead, it will only anger General Budd."
Although she has always wanted to fight General Budd, at this critical moment, she still cares more about Bai Ye's affairs and does not want General Budd to disturb her.
"Yes!"
The three beastmen responded at the same time.
............
Soon after, Qiao Li, Bai Ye and others arrived at the palace.
Qiao Li asked to see General Budd directly.
He did not intend to and had no ability to confront Minister Ernest head-on for the time being, so he did not go to the palace where Minister Ernest was.
Only Bai Ye, Qiao Li, Hei Tong, Chelsi and Si Bia entered the palace, and the rest of the guards were waiting outside.
At this time, they had already seen General Bud.
The tall and sturdy man with blond hair and a majestic face was General Bud.
He was wearing a set of heavy armor, which was actually the armor-type imperial weapon "Thunder God's Wrath·Admiral", which belonged to the thunder imperial weapon.
It seems that this kind of elemental imperial weapon has a relatively high upper limit, such as Esdeath's ice imperial weapon.
General Bud
General Bud is guarding the palace almost every day, so you can find him at any time, but whether you are qualified to see him is another matter.
Qiao Li is the former minister and the minister who has served with General Bud for the longest time. Their relationship is extraordinary.
"It's been a long time since I saw General Bud."
Qiao Li sighed.
"Minister Jolly, why did you suddenly return to the imperial capital?"
General Bud was a little surprised.
"I don't want to live in disgrace forever. I can't watch that minister completely destroy the empire."
Jolly said: "Besides, I'm no longer a minister. Just call me Jolly."
"Although I know the dirty things that Minister Ernest did, our family's ancestral precept is that generals cannot interfere in internal affairs. This is the case for all the great generals of the past. I don't want to disobey this ancestral precept."
General Bud said.
He never interfered with the corruption of those people in the Ernest regime for this reason.
"I know your character and situation, so I won't force it..."
Just when Jolly was thinking about how to convince General Bud to help them,
General Bud suddenly asked: "By the way, besides Sibiya, who are these three?"
General Bud was naturally asking about Bai Ye, Hei Tong and Chelsi.
His eyes were staring at Bai Ye and the other two sharply. Although these three came with Qiao Li, there should be no problem, but his intuition made him feel a little strange.
"Ah, speaking of which, something happened on the way. The minister sent three imperial artifact users to intercept us halfway. If it weren't for Mr. Bai Ye, Sibiya and I would probably have died there."
Qiao Li immediately mentioned this matter.
"Three imperial artifact users? He actually did such a thing..."
General Bud's face suddenly became a little serious, "Recently, I heard that someone assassinated some officials, but it was all done by those rebels of 'Night Attack'."
"No, the truth is not so. The three imperial artifact users instructed by Minister Ernest are called 'Three Beast Warriors'. They have killed several officials who had grudges against Ernest before me, and they also pretended to be 'Night Attack'."
Jolly said in a deep voice: "If I was killed by them at that time, it is estimated that it would be reported that 'Night Attack' did it afterwards..."
Hearing this, General Bud's eyes suddenly widened a little, and his face, which was already so majestic that it was scary, looked like a "wrathful King Kong" at this moment.
Minister Ernest's actions obviously made him angry.
In order to follow the ancestral precepts, he had always been forcibly enduring the evil deeds of Minister Ernest, but this time he could not bear it anymore.
Such a reckless minister not only challenged his dignity as a general, but also those officials were all his designated protection objects.
It would also cause the entire empire to fall into an endless abyss. At that time, only the treacherous ministers who colluded with Minister Ernest would remain in the court.
General Budd still trusted what Jolly said.
"......I understand. I will personally eradicate the roots that have plunged the country into darkness, but in addition, it is also necessary to annihilate the rebels."
General Budd's deep voice contained murderous intent.
"First deal with Minister Ernest, and then deal with the rebels. Otherwise, the general will be easily attacked from both sides. At least it is certain that the rebels will not cooperate with the minister, but the minister will use the rebels to play dirty tricks."
At this time, Bai Ye spoke calmly.
