But Ornest doesn't even know now.

  In the first few days, Ornest didn't receive news from Sheila, but he didn't feel any surprise, because his son was spending extravagantly outside all the year round. behind the head.

  But with the passage of time, more than half a month has passed unknowingly, and Sheila is like the world has evaporated, and there is no news.

  Knowing this time, Ornest became nervous and went to find other Wild Hound members who were fooling around with his son.

  But still nothing, as if the world has evaporated.

  Now Ernest was a little flustered.

  Although Sheila is his only son, Ernest doesn't care about his life or death. For him, his son is just a pawn that he can give up when necessary. If a son dies, he will give birth to another son next time. An excellent son will do.

  But the most critical question in Ernest's mind is what happened to Sheila.

  Because the mission he sent to Sheila was to find the weaknesses that Lin Cheng could exploit, so as to suppress Lin Cheng's growing momentum.

  If Sheila's whereabouts are unknown, then it must have something to do with Lin Cheng.

  "Could it be that what Sheila did was discovered by Lin Cheng?"

  Ornest could not help but produce such conjectures.

  But there was no movement on Lin Cheng's side, as if nothing happened.

  This made Ornest even more flustered. He had never encountered such a situation, and he kept sending people to investigate, but still found nothing.

  Ultimately, Ornest had to find someone for help.

  Bude.

  Although Bude and Ernest are politically hostile, Ernest also knows that Bude, who has a rigid personality, is absolutely impossible to have anything to do with Sheila's disappearance.

  Moreover, the Guards under Budd also have the greatest search authority within the imperial capital.

  Even the assassination unit headquarters is no exception.

  "You said that your son's whereabouts are unknown?"

  Bud said sharply, but his tone was a little surprised.

  He didn't expect that Ornest would come to help him one day.

  "That's right, my lovely and filial Sheila disappeared half a month ago."

  Ornest said.

  "Can't he just be addicted to the hype?"

  Don't ask.

  "No, he and his subordinates are all gone, and they have a mission."

  "Task?"

  Bud's brows furrowed,

  "What did you let him do?"

  Ernest hesitated for a while, then hesitantly, then a smile appeared on his face:

  "I suspected that General Lin Cheng might have treasonous behavior, so I secretly asked my son to investigate him."

  All that Ornest did was to prevent his power from being threatened by Lin Cheng. He didn't know the other party's true intention, so he made up an excuse temporarily. .

Chapter 233

  "Treason?"

  Bud's expression instantly became solemn,

  "Do you have any evidence?"

  "no no......"

  Ornest said quickly that Esdes has almost no contact with him now, and he has no longer restrained Lin City's capital.

  He never thought about Lin Cheng's possible treason, and Ernest sent Sheila just to investigate secretly what could suppress Lin Cheng.

  But this kind of thing naturally cannot be told to Bude. In Bude's eyes, this kind of behavior is a serious violation of discipline. If he knows about it, the consequences will definitely be disastrous, so we can only make up this reason.

  "Does this act without evidence?"

  Bud's voice was like thunder,

  "This kind of thing is only authorized by the Praetorian Guards. As a minister, are you a little complacent?"

  Hearing General Bude's words, Ernest's heartbeat speeded up, and he could feel the huge sense of oppression emanating from General Bude, almost pressing Ernest into a patty.

  But Ornest now has no other choice but to seek Bude's assistance.

  Use Bud as a gunner, this is Ernest's plan.

  If Sheila's disappearance has something to do with Lin Cheng, Bud will naturally have a conflict with Lin Cheng, so that the snipe and clam can compete for the fisherman's profit.

  If Sheila's disappearance has nothing to do with Lin Cheng, Ernest doesn't have to worry about offending Lin Cheng, everything is done by Bud, and he can escape perfectly from it.

  It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

  "Isn't this also for the development of the empire?"

  Ernest said with a quick smile, a flattering smile on his face.

  "is it?"

  Bud snorted disdainfully, and he naturally knew that the ghost's words said by the other party were not genuine at all.

  Although Budd also knew that Sheila and his subordinates were nothing but scum, but they were ministers after all. In a sense, they were also equivalent to people in the palace, so Bud could not ignore it.

  And Bud was very concerned about what Ornest said.

  About Lin Cheng's treason.

  Bud is also very clear that what Ernest said was just a fabricated reason. He was just afraid that Lin Cheng might threaten his power. Bud is also very concerned about Lin Cheng's behavior, at least from now on. Look, he didn't do anything out of the ordinary.

  But Bude is really worried that the existence of Lincheng may threaten the regime of the empire.

  Originally, the internal politics of the empire relied on Bude and Ornest to maintain a delicate balance with Esdes. Bude could not attack Ornest because of his principle of non-intervention in politics, but he had a very high reputation. Ornest couldn't do anything to him either.

  And Esdes is on the border of the empire, rarely returns to the imperial capital, and has fewer conflicts with Bude.

  But Lin Cheng changed everything and broke the balance.

  Bud also heard the story between Esdes and Lin Cheng, and acquiesced in their love relationship in his heart.

  The existence of two imperial generals, one controls the assassination force, and the other has the frontier army.

  As if they wanted to subvert the empire, it was easy.

  But fortunately, the number of assassination troops under Lin Cheng is not large, and the soldiers under Esdes are far from the border, and their leaders are in the imperial capital, so Bud is not worried for the time being.

  If you look at the military units, Bud, who controls the Praetorian Guards, is not worried about Esdes' army.

  The Imperial Guards in the imperial capital are numerous and well-trained.

  But Bud felt that the two of them were too dangerous in everything and really needed a warning.

  "I'm going to inspect the headquarters of the assassination unit. …"

  Bud said,

  "But your unlawful act of law enforcement is unforgivable, and we'll have to make a good calculation after that."

  Bude's words are full of majesty.

  "Okay, okay, thank you General Bud."

  Ernest responded quickly.

  Immediately, Bud assembled a group of heavily armed soldiers and headed for the location of the headquarters of the assassination unit.

  After a while, they arrived outside the headquarters of the assassination unit.

  And Lin Cheng seemed to have been aware of it for a long time and waited outside the headquarters of the assassination unit.

  Estes was also present.

  "General Bude, long time no see."

  Lin Cheng looked at the crowd in front of him with a smile on his face.

  This is precisely because Ornest's cronies, the Rakshasa Four Ghosts, informed Lin Cheng in advance.

  "General Lin Cheng, do you know that I'm coming?"

  Bud's brows furrowed slightly.

  "I heard the hooves of General Bude and the Guards from afar, so I knew in advance what you were about to come."

  Lin Cheng said slowly, his squinted eyes swept across the crowd, Ornest did not follow Bude and his party, probably because he was afraid of offending Lin Cheng.

  "¨〃The minister's son Sheila is missing, so I came here specially to check his whereabouts."

  Bud said expressionlessly.

  "The minister's son Sheila, does the minister still have a son?"

  Lin Cheng pretended to be ignorant and kept a polite smile on his face.

  "Here is his portrait."

  Bud took out the portrait of Sheila and handed it to Lin Cheng,

  "Excuse me, General Lin Cheng, have you seen this person?"

  "No."

  After Lin Cheng glanced at the portrait, he said immediately.

  "I didn't expect that General Bude would run errands for someone like Minister Ernest."

  Esdes sneered from the side.

  "You have no right to speak of me, Esdes."
