.Chapter 383 Undercurrents

"Is that? That girl Claya finally left. Do you know who rescued her?" Xiao Fengzhen sat back on her seat and suddenly asked the lower-level officer.

"I don't know. There are two suspects at present, namely Xis, the purchasing officer of the Liuli Islands, and his nephew Ye Xiaokai. Because they disappeared at the same time after Claya disappeared."

"Ye Xiaokai? Is there a portrait of him?" Xiao Feng really thought of someone.

"No. But according to the staff of the Liuli Islands, Ye Xiaokai is a mute."

"Muzz? Hum... I understand. Go down. Tell everyone, don't talk about this."

"yes."

As the door was closed, Xiao Fengzhen stood up and walked to the window, looking at the direction of the imperial capital Frod, thinking in his heart that the one who was panicking at this time should be the one sitting on the throne.

The Frod Palace, the imperial capital of the True Demon Empire, was roaring like Xiao Feng had guessed.

"I have said that we should eliminate the roots after cutting the grass, but what do you say to win people with virtue? The king is tolerant. How about now? If the person runs away, she will definitely bring the army back in the future. Who will resist me at that time?"

The ministers bowed their heads and said in their hearts: "If you hadn't been too suspicious at the beginning, how could the current situation have occurred?"

"Speak, I support you not to let you eat." The emperor couldn't help but feel annoyed when he saw that his ministers were all pretending to be deaf and dumb.

The right prime minister, standing in the ranks of ministers, knew that His Majesty was angry and had to go out to report: "Your Majesty calmed down. In fact, Your Majesty didn't have to worry about this matter at all. Even if Claya Dela was genius, the military gap in recent years would not be so easy to make up. Moreover, I, the real demon empire, have many generals, so how could I not be able to deal with a single Claya? Take Xiao Fengzhen in the Imperial Navy for example. With him, Your Majesty can rest assured."

"Xiao Fengzhen?" The emperor said this name and shook his head slightly. Although his movements were slight, he was still seen by the right prime minister who saw him. The right prime minister felt a little shocked and thought to himself that it was not good. It seemed that His Majesty was suspicious again.

Just as I was about to remind the emperor not to make a mistake, the emperor had already asked the ministers: "My dear friends, is Xiao Fengzhen the only one in the true demon empire that can be taken on this important task? If you know what kind of young and handsome looks, you might as well say it now to let me know."

When the emperor said this, the ministers felt secretly happy. There were not many younger generations in the family. They had no chance to mention it before, but now His Majesty the Emperor has given him a chance, and no one can hide it anymore. They have reported the name of their nephews in their later life and made some modifications appropriately. If their nephews in their later life really want to be as good as they say, both civil and military, like Xiao Fengzhen and Claya, they can only be considered a scumbag.

After the dynasty was dispersed, the Right Prime Minister and the Military Minister chased to the harem and asked to see His Majesty the Emperor. The Emperor did not miss it. Soon, the Right Prime Minister and the Military Minister met the Emperor. As soon as they met, the Emperor did not wait for the Right Prime Minister and the Military Minister to speak, and said first: "Mingzhu, Suotu, are you two coming for Xiao Feng's real thing?"

"...Yes." Right Prime Minister Mingzhu and Military Minister Suo Tu looked at each other and replied in unison.

"...Do you think I shouldn't treat Xiao Fengzhen like that?" the emperor asked expressionlessly.

"Uh... Please atone for your sins." Sotu, who was outspoken, was stunned for a moment, and still expressed his opinion honestly.

"Yes." The emperor nodded without comment, looked at the right prime minister Mingzhu, waiting for Mingzhu's answer. The right prime minister Mingzhu is smart and has a lot of mind. After thinking for a while, he nodded to express his agreement with Suotu's opinion.

"Oh...you guys. I originally thought you would be in the same mind as me, but I didn't expect that even you two, my confidants had different opinions from me." The emperor suddenly sighed.

Mingzhu, Suotu looked at each other, not understanding why. Mingzhu asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, don't know what this means?"

"...Do you think that Xiao Feng is really a loyal minister or a good general?"

"Isn't it? Xiao Fengzhen led the imperial navy to wipe out many pirates over the years, reduced the losses for my True Demon Empire, and for the sake of His Majesty's face, he was willing to bear the reputation of his traitor..." Mingzhu and Suotu said in their hearts.

Looking at the expressions of these two people, the emperor knew what Mingzhu and Sotu were thinking. He shook his head secretly and said, "Sutu, according to the organization of the Imperial Navy, how many troops can a major general rule?"

"Fifty thousand." Suotu blurted out. This is his job, and he is very familiar with it.

"Okay, if I tell you that Xiao Fengzhen now has 150,000 people, do you still think he is a loyal minister?"

The first thought in Mingzhu and Suotu's mind was impossible. But when they saw the emperor's expression, it didn't seem like they were lying, and they couldn't help but wonder, which made people feel a little shaken of their true confidence in Xiao Feng.

"He took advantage of the loopholes in the imperial system." The emperor said to himself: "The military system of the empire stipulates that a regular army can have two auxiliary soldiers. However, the generals have to bear the cost of auxiliary soldiers themselves, so most generals in the empire are unwilling to recruit auxiliary soldiers. However, Xiao Feng is really different. He recruited auxiliary soldiers, and each auxiliary soldier was trained according to the standards of the regular army. You said that he had wiped out so many pirates in the past, and that was he using the money from the extermination of pirates to strengthen his own power, train troops and accumulate wealth."

"What should we do now, Your Majesty?" Mingzhu asked nervously.

"……I have no idea."

"What does your Majesty mean? Are you just watching Xiao Fengzhen full of wings?"

"He is already full. Now he dares to visit the prisoner of Claya Dela without asking for instructions. I even suspect that Claya Dela's escape is related to him." The emperor said with a wry smile.

"Your Majesty, we will not follow the will of the Tao to let him enter the imperial capital, and then imprison him in the imperial capital." Mingzhu rolled her eyes and offered a plan.

"This move is not good. Have you forgotten how we caught Claya back then? This is the one I used, and the executor back then was Xiao Fengzhen. Do you think he would be fooled?"

"Your Majesty, since ancient times, the king wants his ministers to die, but the ministers have to die..." Suotu said with a righteous look on his face.

"Bad. Do you believe it or not, the day when the imperial edict that he wanted to commit suicide was sent to him, he could pull the flag and rebel." The emperor interrupted Suotu's words disdainfully.

"I wonder what your Majesty has?" Mingzhu asked out loud.
