At the same time, Fang Zheng also learned from the "Whispering Banner" that the Empire was forming a hunter corps.

I see, they are the elite from the Empire? Hmm... let me see...

Fang Zheng flipped through the "Whispering Admonition" and then narrowed his eyes.

This woman...

"I say."

Fang Zheng raised his head and looked at everyone.

"Do any of you know a sect called An Ning Dao?"

"……?"

Faced with Fang Zheng's question, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then most people shook their heads. Instead, it was Chelsea who spoke.

"Ah, you mean the sect that claims that as long as you do more good deeds, you will be happy and live a long life. I know a little about it."

Hearing Chelsea's answer, Fang Zheng frowned slightly, then he looked at Myne.

"Main."

"What's the matter?"

"Go back for a night raid and tell Najeta that we plan to attack An Ning Dao."

"Why?!"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

"An Ning Dao is a group that is deeply trusted by the people!"

"That's right."

Fang Zheng raised the "Whispering Banner" in his hand.

"And according to my investigation, Anning Dao is planning to launch an armed uprising recently."

"I have also heard that..."

Compared to Mayin and Akame who had been staying in the imperial capital, Chelsea, who had been at the Revolutionary Army headquarters most of the time, knew more. She was staring at Fang Zheng with a serious expression.

"But do you really want to do this? The Revolutionary Army has always intended to join forces with An Ning Dao. If you do this, it means you are standing on the opposite side of the Revolutionary Army!?"

"That's why I asked Mayin to go back and tell Nadezhda not to get involved."

Fang Zheng's face darkened and his tone became serious and earnest.

"We assassins protect the free will of the people. We cannot tolerate those who manipulate people's thoughts in the name of religion. Moreover, they are trying to deceive the people into committing suicide..."

"Wait, wait, An Ning Dao is a religious group that is deeply trusted by the people."

Maine also spoke at this time.

"If you do this, you will be hated!"

"so what?"

However, Fang Zheng didn't care. He had wiped out all the Buddhists in the past thousand years, so what was a mere Peaceful Dao?

"Don't you care? Those people don't know whether their minds have been manipulated or not. They only know that the Way of Tranquility has brought them happiness and peace. But if you kill those clergymen of the Way of Tranquility, then many people will hate you!!"

"So what?"

However, facing Marin's answer, Fang Zheng still didn't care.

"We are just a group of assassins. Who would hate us?"

"Uh... this..."

Hearing this, Marin finally realized that Fang Zheng and his group were not like Ye Xi, who had their own names. So if others were resentful, they could just yell, "Ye Xi, those bad guys, killed my family." Although Marin and his group were assassins, it was still painful to hear themselves being yelled at.

But Fang Zheng and his gang don't have any special names. As Fang Zheng said, they are just a group of assassins. However, there are so many assassins in the world. If you don't name them and just say what a group of assassins are like, it won't matter to Fang Zheng at all and he won't care. After all, if you don't specify the target, who would know who you are talking about?

“And we also have our creed.”

As he spoke, Fang Zheng raised his hand, and the other assassins also bent down slightly.

"Nothing is real, everything is permitted."

"Let's go. Our target this time is all the high-ranking believers of An Ning Dao. Don't leave any alive. Kill them all!"

The reason why Fang Zheng wanted to attack An Ning Dao was not just because the way this religion acted reminded him of Buddhism. In fact, through "The Whispering Banner", Fang Zheng also learned that this An Ning Dao was actually founded by the remnants of the Witch Cult! ?

He had killed those Sin Archbishops and never cared about the Witch Cult again. Now it seems that these guys can't stay in Lugnica anymore and have come to the Northern Empire to cause trouble?

What a pity that I meet myself again.

“…”

This time, no one spoke. The assassins saluted and then quietly left the hall. Fang Zheng also turned and walked towards the door, then turned around and looked at Chelsea.

"You can come with us, or stay here with Akame. Of course, you can also try to go back to Night Raid... maybe I can't catch you."

“…”

For a moment, Chelsea really wanted to run away, but since the other party dared to say this, it meant that he was fully confident that he could catch her before she returned for the night raid. What's more, Chelsea didn't really want to run away now. She also wanted to know how Fang Zheng recognized her. What if she really had some weakness?

Chelsea is considered a brainy person in the night raid. After all, with her imperial weapon and strength, she would have died a hundred and eighty times long ago if she didn't rely on her brain. So she is very concerned about her weaknesses. She won't dare to go out and assassinate until this thorn is removed. After all, the situation in the imperial capital is tense now, and Chelsea also learned from Fang Zheng that the empire has formed a hunter unit, which is full of elite soldiers from the empire and strong men from other countries.

Chelsea was even more afraid to act rashly.

Fang Zheng is very powerful, but what if there are others who have this ability and can see through him?

It's no wonder that Chelsea is so suspicious. You know, this is the first time she has been seen through since she possessed the imperial weapon. Of course, if you say that she was disguised as a person at the time, you can also say that she didn't know the prototype of the disguise well enough and was exposed somewhere. She just needs to reflect carefully in the future.

But if she could be found out even though she turned into a cat, then this would be a serious problem.

Therefore, until she figured out why Fang Zheng could see through her, Chelsea didn't dare to go to work anymore.

You are a good at deceiving others, but if the other party sees through you and then pretends to be deceived to counterattack, then you are doomed.

She doesn't have the attack power of Akame.

As for the red pupil...

Chelsea silently glanced at Akagi who was still sharpening a wooden sword on the chair. To be honest, if possible, she would rather stay with Akagi. But the aura around Akagi was not right these past two days. Just walking past her made Chelsea feel like she was going to a grave.

She asked Marin, and she said that Chi Tong was studying swordsmanship these days... Well, although she didn't know what kind of swordsmanship it was, it gave people a bad impression. She...

It would be better to follow Fang Zheng to Anning Road to see what the situation is like. There are at least some people there.

Everyone left, leaving Akame alone here, feeling like a catacomb...Chelsey felt that she was still a young girl and was more suitable to act in the sun.

And to be honest, she was still very curious about what Fang Zheng was going to do this time.

"Are you going to deal with An Ning Dao?"

Walking in the northern city where the headquarters of An Ning Dao was located, Chelsea, who had already changed her clothes, looked at Fang Zheng with a smile and asked. She was also very curious. You know, if the target was one or two high-level figures, assassination would be very simple, but assassinating the entire high-level officials of An Ning Dao?

"I just inquired about it. Although the reputation of the leader's assistant is not very good, the leader is very popular among the people. Do you really want to kill him?"

“Hehehe.”

Facing Chelsea's question, Fang Zheng chuckled.

"Minister Ernest is the culprit of the empire's corruption, and the emperor is an innocent person who has been deceived. Do you really believe this?"

"this……"

Hearing this, Chelsea was stunned for a moment.

"You have to remember that when things turn out like this, none of the higher-ups are innocent."

Fang Zheng lowered his voice and walked forward.

"Why do people in high positions sit in this position? It is to know how to use people wisely. If he cannot do this, then he is derelict in his duty. No matter how many difficulties he has, whether he has been deceived or used, but he sits in this position and must be responsible for his choices."

Having said that, Fang Zheng looked at Chelsea.

"This is a duty. If you fail in your duty, you will be punished. Do you think that the leader's assistant is a bad person and the leader is a good person? But is the leader blind? Why would he keep such a bad person by his side? Don't you think that these two people are one playing the good cop and the other playing the bad cop? If the leader's assistant is exposed, the leader can completely sacrifice his relatives for the sake of justice, then say that he is a deceived victim, and then apologize to those believers. In this way, he will not only get rid of his enemies, but also further enhance his position in the hearts of the believers. At the same time, he can also accept the property seized by the leader's assistant. Isn't this a sure win?"

"this……"

Hearing this, Chelsi was completely speechless. Fang Zheng's words sounded unbelievable, but when she thought about it carefully, it was indeed the case...

"Besides, do you think the emperor doesn't know anything about what's happening outside? There are quite a few ministers who died for their advice. They must have said a lot about the suffering of the people in front of the emperor. So why didn't the emperor react at all? The reason is very simple. He doesn't care at all."

“…”

At this moment, Chelsea couldn't help but gasp.

"He...he doesn't care?"

"That's right. He doesn't care. His world is only as big as the palace. To him, the world outside the palace is just like in books. How would you feel if you saw thousands or tens of thousands of people die in books? Don't think that the emperor is the same as you and that he understands the world the same as you do. In fact, you two are completely different."

This time, Chelsea didn't even speak for a long time. It was unknown how long it was before she let out a sigh of relief.

"It's hard to imagine. The way you said that makes people feel as if you were once an emperor."

"hehe……"

Hearing Chelsea's sigh, Fang Zheng turned and looked at her.

"How do you know I haven't been one?"
