"Let a general like General Yongye, or General Budd, deal with the little thieves who attacked at night, it will only shame your wise man, so I decided to recall General Esdes!"

When it came to recalling Esdes, the minister's face became obviously grim, apparently still wanting to recall her on the basis of knowing Esdes as a person.

"Really? Then recall it, and then... You deliberately asked me to participate in this court meeting through the little emperor and then through Bude. What are you trying to do?"

"General Yong Ye said... As the leader of the military, isn't it a matter of course to participate in the court? But... if you don't mind, can you please go and suppress the rebel army in the south? Or suppress the rampant east of the empire to the point of uniting, Pirates who have taken over a seaport city?"

"Rebels and pirates?"

The two options of the rebel army and the pirates do not need to think about it. The rebels are strong and the pirates are weak, but relatively speaking, the pirates are better able to hide, and those pirates will hide back to the islands at sea when they encounter a large army of encirclement and suppression troops. It seems very difficult to wait for the army to withdraw and then reappear.

The rebel army can pose a threat to the empire to a certain extent. If you think about it as planned, there is no need to destroy it, so it seems that you can only choose to deal with the pirates, but...

"I'm sorry, I've been unwell recently, and I can't go out, and my troops are all in the west and north. Moving over may lead to loopholes in the defense area, so there is no way to easily mobilize."

Mingming was full of anger but said that he was not feeling well. Yong Ye was really talking nonsense with his eyes open, but the officials nearby turned a blind eye to it, and no one dared to point out what was wrong with his behavior.

The little emperor was puzzled by Yong Ye's behavior, but Minister Ornest shook his head with a smile before he spoke.

"The general doesn't have to resign so quickly. I can let someone assist you to destroy the pirates. Just use the army from the east. The general Lopke over there will obey the dispatch. After the completion of the matter, Your Majesty will definitely have Lots of gold bounties."

"If it's just gold, it's good but it doesn't mean much. Come with two emperors as a gift."

"This... Okay, in addition to the gold, I will give the Tegu envoy for free... um... But the rank of the emperor who can be dispatched suddenly due to the accident will be very low, I think I can temporarily use it now... There is only one, to When the time comes, I will let him on the mission to the east join you."

"Okay, but it's just a trip to the east. It's right to eradicate the thieves for the empire."

Minister Ornest knew very well that Yongye would not choose to attack the rebels, so he chose a pirate who was acceptable to Yongye, and the difficulty seemed to be much lower. Asking two imperial envoys as a reward, he gladly accepted the task of crusade against pirates.

Because his current mental state has not been very good, and killing the enemy on the battlefield can alleviate the mental agitation to a certain extent, the choice mentioned by Minister Ernest is actually very good for him, even if there is no gold and gifts The Teigu made him want to go too.

There is no way to kill the enemy on the battlefield. This is his way of alleviating his mental problems, um... It seems that holding the black pupil can also ease the tense spirit to a certain extent, but please do that kind of thing less. It's better, otherwise it doesn't always feel good.

.

Living peacefully in the imperial capital for a short period of time made him a little unbearable mentally restless. Although it is not good to help the empire, he can strengthen himself to a certain extent, right? Even those pirates can't possibly have too many.

Minister Ornest asked Yong Ye, the commander of the land war, to exterminate the pirates. He had no good intentions at first, but he was in Yong Ye's arms. Going to the battlefield was just what Yong Ye needed.

It's really sad to think about it, obviously longing for ordinary or obtaining... tranquility, but there is such a rigid need that runs counter to the idea, but there is no way to do it now, it is too difficult to change, there is a lot of gold and also comes with two emperors Gu Shi, for the time being, it can be considered a little consolation. As for why it is not Tegu but asks for the emperor who may be a spy or undercover agent, it is naturally because of the adaptability of the emperor. Otherwise, why do the generals have no emperor? It's the soldier's turn to hold the Teigu, and even say that the Teigu was left idle there? If you don't give it to a user, it will be given to Teigu and it will only be idle.

Moreover, Yongye has all five visions, so you don’t need to worry about being a spy or something. If you are a spy or undercover agent, you can see through it in person, and then deal with it directly. It's a better emperor.

On the other hand, although the minister agreed to Yongye's request, he was not very kind. He planned to be as disgusting as Yongye. In the case of crusade against pirates in the east, it was very likely that it would be a naval battle. But it's only the fire-breathing emperor from Boros who came from the burning army and used the purgatory to recruit Rubigand. At that time, it can also be called the eternal night to burn the corpses after the war to avoid the appearance of the plague.

Of course, Yong Ye still didn't know who the Emperor's envoy was, and not long after he left the council hall, he had already arrived at the training ground.

Although he does not wear a helmet, he is also equipped with full body armor and a red cloak. He is 1.9 meters tall, and the hair on the left and right sides of the forehead stands up, which is somewhat similar to Zanke. Standing in the center of the training ground several times larger than the mansion training ground.

The size of the football field is larger than the international competition standard. The two training grounds, which are bigger side by side, are empty. The training ground is surrounded by solid walls that feel like a long history. The soil is stepped on firmly, and the surface There is also a layer of sand for buffering.

Today's Bud did not practice his guards in this training ground as usual, but closed his eyes on this empty training ground and folded his arms around his chest, waiting for the arrival of the eternal night.

"…You came."

As soon as Yong Ye stepped into the solid and flat sand, Bud opened his eyes and looked at him.

"It's Xiao...cough, was His Majesty the one who asked you to call me to the court meeting?"

Instinctively, he wanted to speak of the little emperor, but in front of him was the little emperor's die-hard loyalists, so for the sake of unnecessary trouble, Yong Ye immediately chose the popular name for the little emperor.

"Unfortunately... I want to protect Your Majesty, and I can only let you deal with those little pirates, but the rebels of the empire will be executed without leaving any place!"

Failing to infer anything from a small word, Bude's exit was a pun, not only answering Yong Ye's question but also targeting pirates, but also warning Yong Ye.

In fact, Bude has not yet fully understood the situation in the north, and roughly understands Yongye as a warlord who is dissatisfied with the corruption of the central government and should have a strong power to separate one side, but he has not really separated from the empire.

Right... Yongye's current situation is that it has armed forces and uses military means to control the administration, judiciary, education, taxation and other government agencies and the appointment of its officials, ignoring the country's legal order, operating a completely independent law, but Warlords in the conventional sense recognized by the central government.

Although warlords in the conventional sense generally ignore the existence of the central government, and some even compete with the central government, their military groups only obey the military leaders, not the central government.

However, due to the weakening of the central power, there will be people who can monopolize local power. This is not uncommon in history, so Bude can still tolerate Yongye's behavior now, because Yongye has not split the country yet, and is still guarding the frontier. , showed no real desire for power, and the state of the Empire was equally worrying to him.

Now Yongye is still supporting the empire. The empire is generally calm, but if it breaks up now, the morale of the imperial army will generally plummet, and the empire will fall into turmoil. Although the revolutionary army has not really formed a climate, it will definitely take the opportunity Shit, it would be even more troublesome if he was exploited by the civil unrest.

"...So far, the protection of His Majesty is still the first priority. How can I put it... It's really hard for you."

Yong Ye's thoughts about Bude can be roughly inferred. He doesn't know what to say about him, so he can only choose to shake his head and perfunctory.

"My family has guarded the empire from generation to generation. Protecting Your Majesty and the empire is my highest mission. It is not hard work at all."

"Yes, yes, I know that your family has guarded the empire from generation to generation, and I have known your loyalty for thousands of years. Presumably your majesty who you want to protect must be equally aware of it."

Talking to an old-fashioned person like Bud, Yong Ye always feels very tired, because such a person will always repeat what he is attached to and repeat the narration over and over again, so that he and others understand his persistence.

"However, you asked me to come, wouldn't you just want to repeat your own position? And...you're targeting me, you're completely wrong, the minister is the culprit of all this."

"I know this, but what I can do now, and the most important thing for me, is to protect His Majesty's growth."

"...It's my fault for expecting you."

Bud's firm words made Yong Ye silent for a while. It can be said that after being disappointed by the little emperor, he was disappointed by the general, and it could even be said that he was completely disappointed by this empire that was hard to return.

If possible, he doesn't want to be an emperor, and he has no interest in being an emperor who can sort out the affairs of this era, and can wear himself half to death, and he is not suitable to be an emperor by nature, and an emperor who will leave soon has no meaning at all...

"General Eternal Night, I ask you! You who have received the supreme gift of the monarch and the post of General General—what are you pursuing?"

When Yong Ye was disappointed with Bud and thinking about his own problems, Bud asked what Yong Ye was pursuing, it seemed... It seemed that he wanted to see if he had ambitions to be an emperor.

In the face of Bude's sudden and solemn questioning, Yong Ye did not shy away from looking at him and said frankly.

"Peace and tranquility, and ordinary happiness."

"…peace and tranquility? Ordinary happiness?"

Obviously, Yong Ye's words made Bud very puzzled and looked like he didn't understand, so Yong Ye took the initiative to explain.

"An environment without ups and downs and turmoil, a stable and peaceful spirit, ordinary happiness built by the two."

"...Your pursuit doesn't look like a general at all, and it's not like what a general like you would say."

Bud, who had his rock-like sturdy face tensed, couldn't help frowning when he heard Yong Ye's words, which were obviously not fake. He obviously thought that there was something wrong with Yong Ye's pursuit, and he suspected that Yong Ye was in it. lie.

"I heard that you took the initiative to go to the battlefield, so I originally thought that you should be a maniac who is as bloodthirsty as Esdes and likes war, but your pursuit is completely different from your actions."

"No, in fact, I don't want to take the initiative to go to the battlefield, I just feel helpless. Sometimes I really have no choice. Otherwise, who would like war and hope for war except the lunatic you call it?"

"…at no choice?"
