Chapter 72: Undercurrent
The tragedy of Duke Resette is the first news of the murder of an imperial nobleman since the establishment of the empire, can it not become a sensation?
"The Duke of Resette was brutally killed?...... ...... hum," General Poppy threw the newspaper in his hand on the table, his hands pressed his fingers together against his chin, and his falcon-like eyes looked at the two subordinates in silver uniforms in front of him.

"I wonder what the general thinks?" asked the deputy commander respectfully.
"Opinion?" General Poppy sneered, "we should be grateful to that man for getting rid of an enemy for us, the old fox of Resette, it seems that he usually does too many 'good deeds' to do it himself." However, General Ben was curious, who had such a skill, and could have found the entrance to that fellow's castle before General Ben did?"
"General......" The silver-clad deputy looked at the majestic man sitting on the chair behind the white jade long table, and wanted to say, but he looked scrupled.
Say. General Poppy ordered impatiently.
"Yes, General. Do you think the council and the government will use this to attack our Imperial Army?"
After hearing this, General Poppy was silent, and after a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice, "On the government's side, I don't dare to say what General Ben doesn't like to hear." As for the council, hmph, those old stubborns, they have been doing things behind their backs for a long time, this time, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how can they let it go?
"The general is right, it is the subordinates who are not considerate. The Vice-Commander replied in a low voice.
He has been following General Poppy for many years, but every time he reports something to the general, he is still inevitably shocked by the domineering aura exuded by this noble man's gestures, and he has to be impressed.
"I don't know what the silver vice president has?" unwilling to be reprimanded by the general alone, his eyes glanced at the silver vice president, who was standing firmly on the side and had not said a word, and the vice president asked with bad intentions.
The Silver Deputy Commander coldly swept the eyes of the Deputy Commander, stepped forward, and said respectfully to General Poppy, "General, the subordinates think that even if the council has an opinion, they can't do anything about us, they are just using the clumsy excuse that our imperial army has not protected those dignitaries, and then ask us to find out the murderer as soon as possible." This is not worth our trouble at all, although the Duke of Reset is a nobleman, he has his own bodyguards, and he has never belonged to the object of our imperial army's protection, presumably the parliament also knows very well, the Duke of Reset was killed, and the responsibility naturally does not fall on the head of our imperial army. No matter how dissatisfied the council is, I'm afraid they won't dare to use our imperial army to be angry, and they won't dare to say anything to you, general. ”
"Silver Vice President, although you are right, but don't forget, the council is the most capable of creating something out of nothing, reversing black and white, and they can still make waves without wind, and now they have caught a little wind, and they still hold on to it?"
"You two, go back and think about countermeasures, as General Ben's right-hand man, you don't want to disappoint General Ben. ”
General Poppy interrupted the imminent battle of lips and tongues between them, his faint voice was not angry but threatening, the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile of unknown meaning, his hands against his chin were lowered, and his body leaned back.
"Yes, General, my subordinates understand that my subordinates will not disappoint the high hopes of the General. The Vice-Commander of the Underworld and the Vice-Commander of the Silver responded in unison, and the respectful words were the same, not bad at all.
The two people who have worked together by the general's side for many years, I don't know how many times they have said this compliment, and it has already become a tacit standard answer, but it is only a tacit understanding on the surface, and the two people who are very related but equally powerful, each with a disgraceful mind, secretly holds each other's handle, and is held by the other party's handle, and cannot fight, but it is impossible to truly agree.
General Poppy squinted at the two deputy commanders, Yin and Ming, and withdrew.
He has long been aware of the discord between the two of them, but he has always disdained to pay attention to the private affairs of his subordinates, and as long as they are still loyal to him and can complete the tasks assigned to him brilliantly, he will trust them as always, and be willing to turn a blind eye, so that they can use their high authority to make trouble. But now the situation is different, this rising wind, this wave is a little too much, unfortunately, has touched his bottom line.
Until the two silver figures completely disappeared outside the door, General Poppy still sat expressionlessly, his eyes were so deep that he couldn't see the bottom, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became deeper and colder.
It seems that he is also going to take some action, but fortunately, the real trump card is in his hands......
……
……
……
On the huge shooting range, I saw a slender and delicate golden figure, quickly moving, jumping, and rolling in the air, the golden short gun in her hand was constantly snapped, and the sound of "pop pop ......" kept ringing, dissipating, and sounding again, and the targets in the distance fell one after another.
Shot down the entire row of targets in one breath, and the butterfly took the last shooting position, half-squatting and kneeling, one knee on the ground, one hand on the ground, the fingers of the other hand still holding the trigger of the short gun, still maintaining the muzzle pointing at the target, and the target in front of the bullet hit by the bull's-eye had already fallen.
Dyed with a thin layer of pink cheeks, sweat beads on his forehead, his mouth was panting gently, and he continued to practice for most of the day, and his physical strength was a little overdrawn.
"Wonderful, really wonderful. There was a loud applause and a disgusting and hypocritical voice behind her, and Flutterie frowned, and the face she least wanted to see was about to appear again.
General Poppy walked in with a smile on his face, "Little kitten, I can't imagine that in just half a month, your marksmanship can reach this level! Yes, the progress is rapid, and General Ben's teaching has not been wasted." ”
In his ears, the sound of footsteps and lazy and muffled speech was getting closer and closer, and the butterfly's brows furrowed even tighter, and her disgust was undisguised.
Suddenly, he turned around, and his body, which had been half-squatting and kneeling, stood up, his body moved slightly, the muzzle of the gun was pointed in the direction from which the man's voice came, and with a snap of his fingers, a bullet burst out of the air and shot straight through......
