Chapter 65
Imperial capital, imperial palace.
A long and luxurious dining table, with a rich variety of delicacies.
Minister Ernest, as always, overeats all day long, eating almost all the time.
What is different from the past is that there is a person sitting opposite Minister Ernest today.
Although that person did not enjoy the delicacies on the table, being able to sit with Minister Ernest already shows that he has a good status.
This person is Cai Jiu, a high-ranking official in the palace who is second only to Minister Ernest.
Compared with Minister Ernest, Cai Jiu's figure seems much more normal, tall and thin, wearing a pair of very small glasses, combing his hair, and holding a strange book in his hand at all times.
This book is actually the imperial tool "World Encyclopedia·Langlangge", which records maps of countries around the world, especially the most detailed in the empire's territory. The map records various resource information such as minerals, vegetation, geology, etc. in detail. The end of the book even predicts large-scale disasters that may occur in the future. It can be said to be a magical item for governing the country.
Cai Jiu and Minister Ernest
"Cai Jiu, what's wrong with you? Otherwise, you wouldn't come to me suddenly."
As soon as he saw Cai Jiu, Minister Ernest knew that something must have happened again.
"Yes, to put it bluntly, it's about Bai Ye. You arranged him to the Imperial Assassination Force, but he caused me a lot of trouble."
Cai Jiu's face looked a little gloomy.
He told all the good things Bai Ye had done.
After all, Bai Ye was arranged by Minister Ernest, and he had a relationship with General Esdeath, so before deciding to take action against Bai Ye, Cai Jiu had to discuss it with Minister Ernest first.
Minister Ernest nodded and said with a little surprise: "This guy is so restless..."
When he was in the Imperial Capital Guard before, Bai Ye dared to do anything.
However, Bai Ye had offended some small people who were not very impressive in the eyes of Minister Ernest, so he never took it too seriously.
But this time it involves Cai Jiu, the nature is completely different.
As for the reason, it is purely because Cai Jiu can bring huge benefits to Minister Ernest, just like Esdeath.
Cai Jiu's brain and the imperial weapon "World Encyclopedia·Langlangge" are very important to the empire. After all, Minister Ernest himself hardly manages the country, and many things are left to Cai Jiu to manage.
He is full of pleasure and his own interests, and the most he does is to eliminate those who oppose him in the court.
Those officials may be ordered by Minister Ernest to be dragged out and beheaded even if they accidentally say something wrong.
As a result, fewer and fewer conscientious officials dare to speak out. Even if they don't say anything, they can only live under the protection of General Bud's authority, unless they abandon their dignity and conscience and completely obey the current minister.
Minister Ernest basically doesn't care about things that have nothing to do with his own interests, as long as those corrupt officials remember to pay tribute to him afterwards.
The empire has become so dark now. It can be said that Minister Ernest is the biggest source of evil in the empire.
Although Cai Jiu manages many things in secret, he and Minister Ernest are of the same kind, so naturally...
"I remember that boy was introduced by General Esdeath, what is Esdeath's attitude towards him?"
Cai Jiu crossed his hands and asked in a deep voice with a sinister smile: "Do you care about his life or death?"
"I shouldn't. I know Esdeath's character. She never cares about anyone's life or death, because those who will be killed are weak."
Minister Ernest said casually.
He has long known Esdeath's deep-rooted "survival of the fittest" concept, and has never seen Esdeath sad because of the death of his subordinates.
And it's not the first time that Esdeath has done this. The previous "Three Beast Warriors" were also talents favored by Esdeath, and General Liva had offended him before.
Although he just didn't give him a bribe, anyone who made him unhappy would be targeted by him.
Now the three beast warriors including General Liva have become Esdeath's subordinates. It seems that Esdeath doesn't pay much attention to them. They are just strong enough to be used.
"That's good. Don't let General Esdeath come to trouble me as soon as that kid dies."
Cai Jiu immediately relaxed a lot.
Almost everyone in the court doesn't know how dangerous General Esdeath is. She doesn't care what high-ranking official you are. As long as you dare to offend her, she will dare to kill you.
After all, General Esdeath is the "strongest" in the empire. No one except General Bud canWhat can I do to her?
"Esdeath is now fighting against the northern foreign tribes. She will not be able to come back for a while, but you can rest assured that I will tell her when the time comes."
Minister Ernest said confidently.
Esdeath is a natural war maniac and a born killer. Fighting and killing are always her top priority.
Facts have proved that Minister Ernest really knows Esdeath well. In the later period of the original work, Esdeath developed her own trick "General Binglan", which formed a blizzard that could affect the entire empire. Ordinary people could hardly survive the blizzard, and only the strong could survive.
In this regard, Esdeath's idea is not only to deal with groups of enemy troops, but also to select the strong in harsh environments. As for the life and death of the weak, she doesn't care at all, and even the families of her subordinates are only slightly concerned.
It is no exaggeration to say that Esdeath is a natural disaster that has self-awareness.
Unless she meets the one she loves at first sight, it is possible to disturb her mood.
So Minister Ernest is not worried about Esdeath. As long as he can give Esdeath a satisfactory war environment, Esdeath will be fine.
"That's it. While General Esdeath is still fighting against the northern foreign races, I will quickly deal with that guy to avoid more trouble."
After saying that, Cai Jiu got up and left.

At the same time, Chelsea has returned to the Revolutionary Army Headquarters in the south of the empire.
She is not a member of "Night Raid" yet, but is still working for the Revolutionary Army Headquarters.
Chelsea has long since changed from a little black cat back to a normal human form. She is a beautiful girl with orange-pink long hair, slender and slim, wearing a British-style uniform and black boots with bows.
Orange-red eyes, wearing headphones, and holding a lollipop in her mouth, have very distinctive personal characteristics.
Here is another picture of Chelsea

PS: It seems that many readers are dissatisfied with the vortex mask. In fact, it can be changed to a tiger mask. It’s just that the first two books have written about tiger masks, so I thought of changing it a little in this book. But if I want to change it, of course I can change it. It depends on everyone’s opinions. (If nothing unexpected happens, it will be changed)
