Chapter 11 Isn't It Quilted
After the early morning farce, Leonay and Red Hitomi went to look after their other companions who were still recuperating from their injuries, and someone, Lu Fan, went to meet with a few intelligence agents of the Karui Empire to learn something.
As soon as Lu Fan walked into the meeting room where several intelligence officers were, several intelligence officers who had been waiting here respectfully knelt on the ground.
"See Your Majesty!"
"Alright, alright! Don't do all this useless all day! Just report it. A little impatiently waved his hand to let a few people get up, and Lu Fan also sat down on a luxurious chair next to a few people.
"Your Majesty."
After getting up, one of the leaders of several people stepped forward with a respectful face, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, there are two things that need to be reported to you, the first is that General Estes, who has the title of 'the strongest in the empire', is about to complete the suppression of the rebellion against the foreign peoples in the north, and it is likely that he will return to the imperial capital in the near future, and then he will probably be sent to the south to resist the attack of our country." ”
Most of these intelligence personnel were recruited and trained by Lu Fan when he liberated the southern alien kingdom, and according to Lu Fan's understanding, the imperial general named Estes seemed to have just led troops to suppress the rebellion of the southern alien kingdom a few years ago, and his methods were a little brutal, so when they reported this news, several people had some resentment and fear on their faces.
"Is the empire the strongest...... Heh, kind of interesting. Remembering the look of kinship when Tuduo first talked to him, Lu Fan was a little interested in the imperial general named Estes, after all, the so-called strong people he had met in this world so far had made him a little disappointed, not to mention fighting him, even those special combat soldiers under him couldn't beat him.
It is said that there are no vain people under the fame, Lu Fan felt that this General Estes might really be able to deal with him, and couldn't help but order to a few intelligence officers in front of him: "If there is news that General Estes has returned to the imperial capital, remember to inform me, let me also see how strong this empire is." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. However, the subordinates don't think she's going to be your match. ”
"Alright, don't be a sycophant."
Lu Fan felt that it was a sycophant, but this was indeed the truest thought in the hearts of these intelligence officers, who had seen the power that Lu Fan possessed with their own eyes, they no longer regarded Lu Fan as a human being, but as a god. Although Estes, who is known as the strongest in the empire, is also very powerful, they are still in the realm of human beings in their hearts, and no matter how powerful people are, they cannot compare with gods.
A few people wanted to explain what they thought in their hearts to show their loyalty, but Lu Fan didn't want to dwell too much on this issue anymore, so he preemptively said without waiting for a few people to speak: "Let's talk about the second thing, is there news from Lena?" ”
The few people who were robbed by Lu Fan naturally could only silence, and then did not dare to reply respectfully without the slightest hesitation: "Yes, Your Majesty, the second thing is the news about Princess Lina." ”
The perception of 'Queen Lena' is only available to the high-level officials of the Karui Empire who know some 'inside information' and some of Lu Fan's guards, and on the surface, Lena is claimed to be Lu Fan's daughter, so she is Princess Lena.
"Oh? What is Lena doing in the Imperial Capital now? "After all, Lena was before Karui died...... Well, it was 'entrusted' to him after death, and Lu Fan is still very concerned about Lina's safety
"Princess Lena is not in the imperial capital at the moment."
"What? Not in the imperial capital? The unexpected answer made Lu Fan stunned, the previous intelligence clearly said that Lena was in the imperial capital, so he came, but now he said that he was not there, could it be that someone ate a bear's heart leopard and dared to lie to him?
Just when Lu Fan wanted to ask who dared to be so iron-clad, the explanations of several intelligence officers followed.
"Princess Lena should have left the imperial capital two days ago, and the proprietress of the inn where Princess Lena stayed before said that Princess Lena seemed to be inquiring about the revolutionary army before leaving."
"What? Revolutionary? What is she doing here? Lu Fan was stunned again, could it be that his cheap daughter still wanted to participate in the revolution?
This time, the explanation did not follow, but the faces of several intelligence officers showed extremely hesitant expressions, as if there was a secret hidden in it that would lead to death, although this hesitation only appeared for a short time, and the leader of the group flickered his eyes for a while before he said insincerely: "The reasons for this are still being investigated." ”
Octavia caught the abnormality of several people, Lu Fan suddenly felt that there must be a big secret in it, he couldn't help frowning, his face darkened, and he said in a deep voice: "Tell the truth!" ”
Seeing that Lu Fan seemed to have noticed something, several people suddenly knelt on the ground with panicked faces: "Your Majesty is angry, Your Majesty is angry." ”
Inexplicably felt that there must be something related to him, Lu Fan was unmoved, he just wanted to know the answer, and couldn't help but say in a deep voice again: "What the hell is going on!?" Say it! Otherwise, I'll let Tugang ask you! ”
Tu Gang's name is Mengxi Tu Gang, he is Tu Duo's younger brother, the former captain of the Special Operations Brigade of the First Group Army of the Karui Empire, and now the captain of the personal guard of Lu Fan, the emperor of the Karui Empire, his favorite thing to do is to interrogate, and even take pleasure in it, but he is very principled, and only attacks some vicious robbers or aristocratic officials who have committed heinous crimes, and generally will not attack ordinary people, unless, there is Lu Fan's order.
Although Tu Gang's hobby is a bit perverted, he has also developed a lot of effective interrogation methods, which to a certain extent has greatly improved the efficiency of the Karui Empire's foreign intelligence agents to obtain information, so they are very clear about Tu Gang's interrogation methods.
The moment Lu Fan's words fell, the faces of several intelligence officers were already pale, if it really fell into the hands of Tu Gang, even if they finally told everything they knew, but it was rare to have the opportunity to be interrogated justifiably, Tu Gang was afraid that he would not let them go easily, but when they were afraid that they really wanted to live and die.
So after only hesitating for less than a second, one of the leaders of several people said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, Qi, your subordinates just heard about it, really just heard about it!" ”
Generally, most of the things that start with 'I heard' will not be a good thing, and Lu Fan's face couldn't help but darken a little more.
"What so much nonsense! Say it! ”
"Yes, yes, yes! Subordinates heard before that Princess Lena's mother, the late Her Royal Highness the Queen, was originally a noble lady of the empire, and she inadvertently knew the name of Her Royal Highness the Queen, and then her subordinates inadvertently learned about Her Royal Highness's original family during the period when they were collecting intelligence in the imperial capital. ”
Speaking of this, this 'inadvertently' intelligence officer who knew too much raised his head slightly and glanced at Lu Fan, but was followed by Lu Fan's squinted eyes.
"Getting to the point!"
The intelligence officer, who knew too much, hurriedly lowered his head again, and said in fear: "Yes, yes, yes!" Her Royal Highness's father was originally an official of the former Imperial Minister's line, but after the current Minister took office, he was persecuted because of his disagreement with his political philosophy, and the subsequent implication led to the flight of Her Royal Highness. ”
"Oh...... That's ......" Lu Fan muttered in a low voice, to be honest, he only knew that Lina's mother was originally a noble lady in the empire, and he really didn't know that there was such a secret in it.
Then Lu Fan looked at the 'insider' who seemed to be a little unwilling to say any more, raised his eyebrows and said, "Go on!" ”
The lowered face of the 'insider' suddenly showed an extremely bitter expression, and he did not speak immediately.
"What? Do you really want Tugang to ask? That's fine! ”
Lu Fan suddenly pretended to get up.
"Your Majesty is angry! Your Majesty is angry! Head! Say it quickly! "Before the 'insider' could speak, the few people kneeling behind him were already urging in fear.
Glancing at a few pig teammates, the 'insider' secretly gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, put on an expression of death as if he was at home, and then said: "My subordinates have heard about it, I really heard it!" ”
"Tugang! Figure steel! Lu Fan was already pretending to be shouting.
As if he felt that it was better to die than to die, the 'insider' hurriedly sped up his speech: "I heard that Her Majesty the Queen had a marriage contract before fleeing and was pregnant!" ”
After saying that, as if he was finally relieved, the 'insider' suddenly collapsed on the ground.
“…… Ha? Lu Fan was completely stunned, although he had thought that Karui was likely to be a father, but he didn't expect this to be the case, but the reason why he was stunned was not because of this incident, but because the 'insider' on the ground who always 'inadvertently' knew too much was actually grinding and chirping for a long time because of this matter.
"I'll go! What a waste of feelings! Labor and management still think what is the matter, isn't it that Karui dead ghost who has been cuckolded? What's the big deal...... Well!? Wait a minute!? Why do these guys give me the feeling that I've been cuckolded!? ”
Looking at the other intelligence officers behind the 'insider' who suddenly looked frightened, as if they had heard something they shouldn't have heard, Lu Fan suddenly felt that things were not as simple as he thought.
However, before Lu Fan could explain anything, several other intelligence officers behind the 'insider' rushed to say with frightened expressions:
"Your Majesty spares your life! Your Majesty spares your life! The subordinates really didn't know about it! The subordinates just thought that Her Royal Highness's original identity might have a bad impact and didn't dare to say anything! I really didn't know there was such a thing! ”
"Yes, yes, yes! Your Majesty spares your life! We didn't know anything about this before, except for the head! No, no, no! We don't know anything now! I don't know anything! ”
"Yes, yes, yes! The subordinates don't know anything! Didn't hear anything! ”
Looking at the people who were just hugging his thighs and crying and the 'insiders' who were paralyzed on the ground with a relieved smile, Lu Fan touched his chin and thought for a while, his eyes narrowed, and he asked in a low voice: "Who else knows about this matter except you?" ”
Thinking that Lu Fan was about to start killing people and killing people, the people who were already pale instantly turned their necks white.
