Chapter 30: The Man Behind the Scenes
"Your boss isn't there?"
Qiuchen held his chin in both hands and asked in surprise. If he said that the leader of the other party did not want to see him, he could still understand. Although Qiu Chen has shown a lot of kindness, he is still an unknown person to the people who attacked at night. But Brand told himself that their boss Najeta had gone to the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army, and it was estimated that it would take some time to return, and Qiuchen probed with the perception of the living, and there was indeed no one else in the entire building
"Yes, Hill and Main didn't come back that night, and the next day Leonay went to the city to inquire and found that the flyer of the Imperial Capital Garrison said that the Night Raid Thieves had been killed, so ......" Brand mentioned this, his face became not very good, not only him, but the other members of the Night Raid didn't seem to want to recall the incident, "Although it is sad, Najeta thinks that our existing people are not enough to support the next mission, so she went to the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army the day before yesterday, hoping that they can support two Imperial Envoys to join"
"Headquarters of the Revolutionary Army...... Ay? Isn't Najeta the leader of the Revolutionary Army" Qiuchen's eyes narrowed, and he noticed that Brand said that Najeta had gone to the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army to ask them to send personnel to support the night attack, not to bring a few helpers back. The form is almost the same, but the meaning is very different, "Why should she ask for support, it would be good to bring more people to the emperor directly, the more powerful helpers, wouldn't the better?"
Hearing Qiuchen say this, Brand laughed, clasped his hands behind his head and explained, "The revolutionary army does not have a real leader, the revolutionary army is composed of a group of people who are dissatisfied with the brutal rule of the imperial capital and gathered together, there are hairy boys from the countryside, there are also soldiers and generals from the empire, just like me and Najeta, and the red pupil, a member of her empire's assassination team, just can't stand what the empire is doing, so she chose this path."
"There are many people like me and Najeta in the revolutionary army," said Brand with some pride among the members of the revolutionary army, "For example, recently, General Gana Kidd and General Hermi of the empire also led their troops out of the imperial capital and joined the revolutionary army. Najeta was respected, and in order to help the revolutionary army, she led us out of the headquarters and set up a night raid in the imperial capital, both to eliminate the scourge in the imperial capital and to provide intelligence for the revolutionary army."
"I see...... Qiuchen nodded, "So, then the emperor's tools are all ...... Assigned to you by the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army? Or did you have it before you joined the Revolutionary Army? ”
"Emperor......" Brand clenched his fist and patted his chest, "My Emperor. When I was a soldier under General Liva of the Empire, I was haunted by demons and killed one hundred and twenty-eight enemies in one battle, and I gained the reputation of being killed by a hundred."
After listening to Brand's narration, Qiuchen turned his head to look at Lubbon, who was sitting at the table with a gloomy face, and when he met Qiuchen's gaze, Lubbo turned his head angrily
"......" seems to have completely annoyed the green hair
"Aha, leave him alone" Suddenly, an arm stretched out from behind Qiuchen and grabbed him, Leonai poked his head with the smell of wine all over his body, "Come and celebrate with us, Ma Yin and Ciel are back, we decided to carnival collectively for three days, little brother, you are just in time~ Come and drink this cup first, I heard that you like to study the emperor very much?" Let me talk to you about my Teigu after I'm done. The Lion King's Affair"
"Leonay, aren't you afraid of alcohol poisoning after drinking so much" Qiu Chen glanced at the wine bottles thrown everywhere, and the corners of his mouth twitched. This is not a beer that is low enough to be drunk as a soda in the present world, but an inferior liquor that has been coveted by profiteers who don't know how much water, and people who don't drink well are estimated to fall to the ground in one sip, but Leonay drank no less than ten bottles one after another in front of him when Qiuchen was chatting with Brand, "Are you sure that now you have blood flowing in your veins, not ethanol mixed with water?" ”
"What is ethanol mixed with water?" Leona asked with a confused look in her eyes, but before Qiuchen could answer, she laughed self-deprecatingly, "What do you do with so much, anyway, no matter what poisoning is, I can detoxify it with my own recovery power." Really, come and drink this bottle with me, big sister, I'll do it first."
After that, Leonai took a sip of the wine in his hand, Qiuchen thought about it, and with a shake of his hand, the wine in the bottle was instantly frozen into ice cubes
"Oh~ Have you finished drinking" took Qiuchen's wine bottle and shook it, as soon as he heard that there was no shaking sound in it, Leonay's eyes when he looked at Qiuchen instantly changed to 'You kid is very good, I am optimistic about you' "Great, only the boss used to be able to drink with me, if you join in, the big sister will definitely be very happy next!" ”
"Let's not mention when I said that I would join" Qiuchen slapped his hand on the tip of his nose, but the taste of alcohol remained unabated, "You haven't told me how your imperial tool came from"
"The Lion King" Leonai let go of Qiuchen, stretched out his arms and lay back on the sofa, "This is what the boss brought back from the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army, and there are many emperors in the headquarters, but in the end, the Lion King chose me." Ha~ Sure enough, only this way of fighting is the emperor who is fist-to-flesh, and it suits me. Main's small body is still suitable for romantic turrets, but what I didn't expect was that Hill would actually get everything in two."
"Wait, most of your imperial capital was obtained from the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army?" Qiuchen raised his eyebrows
"Yes, why don't you use it if you have an imperial tool" Leonai obviously didn't hear the point of Qiu Chen's rhetorical question, and said to herself, "I remember that before we Lahil joined the gang, she still took an ordinary pair of scissors to look for trouble with the ruffians everywhere."
Qiuchen thought for a moment and asked, "Are there a lot of emperors at the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army?" ”
"Ahhh~ a lot, a room full of all kinds of imperial tools" Leonai gestured his finger "You study the imperial tools, you must know that the imperial tools are not available to anyone, but in the headquarters, each of us can find the right ones for themselves, you say how many emperors there are, I have never seen so many emperors put in one place at the same time"
"But I remember that there are only forty-eight imperial tools in total," Qiuchen continued to ask, "Where did the revolutionary army come from?" Could it be that the Imperial Weapon has become a rotten street?"
"Hmph, you don't know this" Leonai smirked "The revolutionary army is not alone, even in the imperial capital, there are our supporters, not only financial support, but also many imperial tools are smuggled from the imperial capital...... Don't look at me with any eyes, I don't know who did it, the boss only told us this, she didn't say anything else"
"That's it......" Qiuchen lowered his head
There are people in the imperial capital who are supporting the revolutionary army, if it is only financial support, it is nothing, but if you want to overthrow the empire, you must definitely not be able to do without the imperial tool. The people who smuggled the imperial tools to the revolutionary army must have known this, so they ...... Those who support the revolutionary army, his aim is to overthrow the empire. And to be able to get so many imperial tools, he is definitely not an ordinary rich businessman, he must be a person who can be mentioned in the imperial capital, but ......
Who could it be......
