Chapter 128: Second-hand bookstores, lurking night raids (1/5)
"Thanks to Lord Ye Du, our life has gradually changed for the better!"
Several children who originally lived in slums brought their handmade snacks to Ye Du and others.
In just a few days, Ye Du has greatly improved the quality of life of the slum dwellers-although it still hasn't reached the level of a well-off life, at least he has enough food and clothing, so he doesn't have to worry about starvation.
Ye Du didn't reject the children's kindness, took out a small piece of biscuit and put it in his mouth.
The craftsmanship of making the biscuits is not superb, and its surface even has a bit of bitter taste because it is burnt, but Ye Du did not say anything, but ate the biscuits completely, then stood up and patted lightly Children's heads.
“It was delicious!”
Hearing Ye Du's compliment, the children were even happier, and handed the cookies to Esdes.
In the eyes of the enemy, Esdes is a brutal killing machine, cruel and bloodthirsty, so the people of the revolutionary army hate her, but in the hearts of the people of the empire, Esdes is a respectable general, Guard the frontier, free from bribes, and have no air against the commoners.
At this time, Esdes was different from her in the battlefield. She squatted down, took the biscuits from the opponent's hand, and put the biscuits in her mouth without any hesitation.
In the distance, a pair of wild cat-like gazes shot onto the two of them.
Leone.
. . . . . .
Not long after, Ye Du and others left the slum.
"Lord Ye Du turned the empire upside down. 35
Esdes smiled at Ye Du,
"The mission must be completed soon."
"It will take some time. 39
Ye Du said that although the empire is improving now, it will take some time before the so-called complete rejuvenation of the empire. At least there can no longer be slums in the imperial capital, and Ye Du needs to make them part of the city again.
But at the moment, the general trend of the empire's internal affairs is correct, and it is proceeding in an orderly manner according to Ye Du's plan, so he doesn't need to worry about internal affairs for the time being, just wait for it to slowly change back.
Now Ye Du only needs to deal with the hostile forces.
"It's almost noon now, so let's go back to the base first~"?99
Esther asked.
"No, we have to go somewhere else."
Ye Du said with a smile.
"Where are you going? Where is Lord Ye Du going?"
Seleu asked curiously.
"Go to a used bookstore and see if you can find treasure.""
. . . . . .
The entrance of an old bookstore in the imperial capital.
Ye Du and the others slowly pushed open the front door of this used bookstore, and as the slightly heavy wooden door moved, countless dusts shook off.
This bookstore and the books in it are generally old, and the bookcases are all old-fashioned styles. The bookstore is obviously not carefully managed. There are many broken spider webs in the corners, but there are no spiders on them. The trail must have gone elsewhere because he couldn't find food.
"Guest, guest? Welcome!
The arrival of Ye Du surprised the boss who was taking a nap, he quickly got up from the reclining chair and walked in front of Ye Du and the others.
The boss had deep wrinkles on his face, the old black-rimmed glasses were clipped to the bridge of his nose, and his body was slightly hunched.
His eyes were always on everyone, especially Esdes and Seleu, but he was not attracted by the beauty of the other two, but with a kind of hostility and vigilance.
Although the boss didn't show it, the change in his mood has been captured by Ye Du.
He is not just an ordinary used bookstore owner, his real identity is Lubbock in the "Night Attack" squad.
Lubbock usually used this second-hand bookstore as a cover in the imperial capital, disguised as the owner of the second-hand bookstore, assisted the team members in their activities on the front line, and collected intelligence secretly.
Ye Du didn't dismantle it, but looked down at the ground, which was also full of dust, and there were only two footprints on it, one of whom was obviously a woman.
"Does the guest need any books?
Lubbock leaned forward, his face feigned with excitement at the arrival of the customer.
"Just come and have a look, it's just a treasure hunt. I often find good-looking books in used bookstores."
Ye Du smiled,
"Boss, it looks like you are hot and sweaty."5
"Hey, it's been really hot lately.
Lubbock held his head awkwardly and smiled at Ye Du.
"I must be the first customer here today.
"That's right.
Lubbock took a step back.
Esdes was casually flipping through the bookcase, while Lubbock's back was soaked with sweat.
Why are they here?
Have you exposed yourself?
Lubbock's heartbeat was already racing frantically, and he felt that his identity might have been exposed.
"." Esdes is the murderer who killed countless soldiers of our revolutionary army, the boss's injury is also thanks to him, and Seleu next to him is also the murderer of Hill! Now in a small room, my Teigu【 Tail of the Cross] Maybe we can clear them all at once!""
Lubbock thought to himself.
His Teigu, ever-changing [Tail of Crossing] is a silk thread made by the legendary super dangerous species. Its hardness is far beyond that of steel. Such a small area allows him to better exert the power of Tegu. K thinks it is possible for him to solve the cause of two people at the same time.
Two people who have deep hatred with him are standing in front of him. Lubbock feels that he can't bear the desire for revenge, even if he is dead, it doesn't matter.
But when Lubbock turned his head to look at Ye Du and Te (Li Haozhao) Lixiu, a trace of doubt appeared in his heart.
Who are these two guys?
Lubbock noticed that Esdes had a lot of respect for this man. In this empire, there was only one person who could allow Esdes to do this.
Ye Du.
Lubbock turned to look at Ye Du, who didn't seem to notice him, but had a smile on his face.
Lubbock hesitated to continue, because at least he also knew that the reforms implemented by Ye Du were good for the people of the empire.
Just when Lubbock was hesitating whether to make a move, he felt a strange chill that covered his body, causing his body to tremble slightly.
"What, what's going on... luck.""
At this moment, the door was slammed open, and a woman as energetic as a wild cat rushed into the bookstore.
Leona.
