Chapter 115: Sheila Returns
The imperial capital has not been peaceful in the past few days, and after Xavier returned to the imperial capital, the incident of his attack and killing while performing his mission also spread, and it quickly spread throughout the entire imperial court, causing a great sensation.
Except for the ignorant little emperor, any official with a little discerning ability could guess that this was the minister's ghost, and no one in the entire empire wanted Havel to die more than him.
Javier and Earnest, the contradiction between these two has finally evolved to the point of real guns, and no one will compromise without distinguishing between life and death.
Many people are expecting Javier's reaction, this young man is known for his iron-fisted methods, he was plotted by the minister once, and one of his subordinates died because of it, he will definitely not give up like this.
And just then, new news came.
Javier and Deputy Minister Jolly visited the General's Mansion together, and the three powerful men got together for a long time and talked deeply, and seemed to have reached some kind of consensus at the end.
This is obviously a precursor to the change of the emperor's capital, and people with a sensitive sense of smell can already smell a little smell of gunsmoke.
The conflict between the two major forces of the imperial court, the ministers and the reformers, became more and more undisguised after this, and even the little emperor with a dull political sense deeply felt this unusual atmosphere.
There is an undercurrent surging in the underworld, and the peaceful status quo of this imperial capital can no longer be maintained.
-
Inside the palace, inside the minister's mansion.
Earnest was in a rage, and he was not even in the mood to eat meat, and the table full of expensive meat was directly overturned by his hands, and the dishes on the plate were scattered all over the ground.
"Fashion this rubbish! It's really useless to lose so completely! Earnest gritted his teeth, resentful of fashion incompetence and at the same time felt a little flesh pain.
If the fashion is dead, it will be dead, and the useless subordinates don't want it, but the imperial assassination force is the result of his painstaking efforts, and it is just gone, and it is impossible to say that it is not painful.
There are also top killers like Luo Yin and Corlet, he was originally quite optimistic, but he didn't expect to die in the hands of Javier.
"Damn! In this way, instead of removing the threat, it angered that guy, and judging by his momentum, I'm afraid he will be going to do it to me soon, right? ”
Earnest anxiously paced back and forth in the room, muttering to himself as if convincing himself: "It's okay, I still have the trump card of Estes in my hand, she can defeat Javier's monster - as long as she is on my side, the situation is not irreparably bad." ”
He figured this out, but his heart was still heavy, because Javier was not the only enemy he was about to face, and it was undoubtedly the worst case scenario to hear that Bude's old stubbornness was also moved by Javier's words.
Although Bud is also hostile to himself, he, like Jolly, is more conservative in his methods because of his concern for the overall situation of the empire, and does not want to clash with him head-on.
What these two men did the most was to rally the forces of reformist officials to impeach him in the court, apparently trying to encroach on his power step by step, avoid the end of losing both, and at the same time win the results at the lowest cost.
Although Earnest felt that they were pedantic and had no courage to do things, he was happy to spend it like this, but he didn't think that Javier would actually intervene in it.
"Maybe it's time to keep a low profile lately, at least to avoid the edge for the time being, so that Xavier can't catch the lever that can be used, and the longer it drags on, the better it will be for me."
Earnest pondered, but the uneasy feeling lingered.
"To be on the safe side, let's let the 'Rakshasa Four Ghosts' rush back as soon as possible, and the power of the Imperial Fist Temple must also be gathered...... Javier, that bastard, sometimes doesn't play his cards according to common sense. ”
-
Outside the gate of the imperial capital, more than 100 meters away, a group of people are looking up at this ancient and rich historical city.
Sheila opened her arms to the gate, and the corners of her mouth drew a malicious and somewhat evil smile like Ornest.
"Imperial capital, Lao Tzu is back!"
Behind him, five more people stood.
These are three men and two women, each dressed in different styles and with a peculiar appearance, which is very eye-catching in the city gate, where people come and go.
They are all the best people that Sheila has recruited from all over the world.
Over the years, Sheila has been traveling around the world, and because of fate, she met these people, and because they had real skills, they sent out solicitations, and after making some promises and benefits, they all agreed to follow Sheila and leave their homeland to develop in the imperial capital.
As the saying goes, like things gather people and people are grouped, these people, like Sheila, are by no means good people, they have done a lot of evil in the local area, and they have even been put on the key wanted lists of various countries.
The man dressed in an oriental-style samurai suit, with a stick of grass in his mouth, a knife and his eyes closed, and an indifferent expression on his face, was a wandering swordsman named Izo.
In front of her, a bespectacled lady with a youthful and beautiful appearance, a miniskirt, black stockings wrapped in her legs, and rabbit ears on her head, is a singer named Kosmia who has been convicted by the Western witch inquisition.
Next to him was a pair of men with vicious triangular eyes, short black hair, and a strong suit. He is a pirate who runs rampant in the Southern Islands, named Yanxin.
And standing in the middle of the crowd, the petite Lolita girl wearing a princess dress is named Doteya. She is an alchemist from the Western Kingdom, and her body has undergone multiple transformations, so although she looks like a young girl, her actual age is quite large.
The last man was dressed as a clown, the biggest of the bunch, named Champ. His real identity is a perverted serial killer who wanders around the world, especially pleasing to children.
"This is the imperial capital, what a spectacular city." Kosmia said with a look of amazement.
"It's too early to be surprised, there are still a lot of interesting things in the imperial capital, you can keep your curiosity and watch slowly." Shira said.
"I wonder how many good men I can meet here? It's exciting. ”
Kosmia tapped her red lips with her fingers, her eyes like silk, attracting the sideways glances of passers-by.
Hearing this, Sheila and Yanxin pouted in unison.
They knew this woman's temperament, she was a slut, and it was not enough to describe her wolf like a tiger in bed, and the men she targeted were basically squeezed to the ground, and then brutally killed.
"Who cares how you play?" Yan Xin glanced at her, and then licked her lips with her long tongue, "But, I want to taste the taste of this imperial capital woman." ”
"In such a big city, you should be able to see a lot of little angels, right?" Champ has a perverted smile on his funny clown makeup.
Glancing at the three of them who did not hide their desires, Sheila waved her hand casually: "Don't worry, you want as many toys as you want in this place." ”
Dotya yawned cutely, bared her small tiger teeth, and said to Sheila, "That's all right, I'm just here to see Dr. Fashion, his research is very helpful for my alchemy, don't forget to arrange for us to meet." ”
"I'm an old acquaintance with fashion, and I'll introduce him to you in two days." Sheila patted her chest and assured.
Immediately, he turned his head to look at the swordsman who was standing silent.
"How's that, Izo? Are you still satisfied with the imperial capital? ”
Izo's strength is second to none among the five, and even if it is Sheila herself, she doesn't have much chance of winning against him without using the Imperial Tool, so he still values this swordsman very much.
"It doesn't matter where you are, as long as there is a battle, my 'Jiang Xue' needs more warriors' blood to sacrifice." Izo closed his eyes, stroked the scabbard with his palm, and said expressionlessly.
Maybe it's the difference in values, Sheila can't understand the other party's thoughts at all.
For him, the sword is just a weapon after all, a tool used to kill people, and the practice of treating weapons as lovers is simply an anomaly in his eyes.
But Sheila doesn't need to understand the other party, who doesn't have a quirk? As long as this person is strong enough to kill people.
So he shook his head slightly, and sighed lightly: "You really love knives like life." ”
Then, Sheila turned her gaze back to the tall and majestic city in front of her.
"Now, then, go see my dad." "He's the minister of the country, and he can give us a status where we can act cheaply." ”
"After that," he smirked, "it's time to play......
Afterwards, the six men entered the city gate.
