Vol 16 Chapter 4: : Royal Palace

Walking in the lively bazaar, Su Xiao's eyes looked around. Now he needs to go to the palace. The old king has called him secretly. The so-called secret call actually means that the old king has something urgent.
Now it is impossible to inquire about the palace with passers-by. Su Xiao is the iron hand. The iron hand does not know where the palace is. It is simply ridiculous.
It is a bit of a headache that the Royal Palace of the Kingdom of Saint-Sottin is probably not that huge and magnificent building, at least not like the Royal Palace that cuts the red world. As long as you are in the emperor, you can see where the Royal Palace is.
According to the details introduced by the world, the palace structure of this world is more similar to a castle, a castle with a huge courtyard.
The main role of the palace is two, one is that the king lives with many queens, and the other is that important ministers work in the palace.
It can be seen that the area of ​​the royal palace should not be large. It only needs to satisfy the residence of dozens of people. In this world of perennial war, all human beings wholeheartedly resist foreign enemies. Will covet to enjoy, to build a huge royal palace in order to show the royal identity.
A mechanical eye appeared in the hands of Su Xiao. This is the eye of the apostle. It can detect both enemy attributes and half a kilometer of terrain.
Iron Hand, as the confidant of the old king, should not live too far from the palace.
Sure enough, when the apostle's eyes floated to a height of 100 meters in the air, a large manor that was not luxurious but magnificent was detected.
This manor is at least one kilometer horizontally. There is no beautiful scenery in the manor, but there are hundreds of sculptures. Among them are sculptures of kings of previous generations, and some heroes and officials who sacrificed for the kingdom. The kingdom places great value on these victims. Putting their sculptures together with previous kings is undoubtedly very appealing.
Su Xiao withdrew the eyes of the apostle and rushed to the palace with Bubwang, who was less than half a kilometer from his residence.
When Su Xiao was walking on the street, the civilians near him were subconsciously far away, looking respectful, which was a respect for those who were afraid.
Seeing the reactions of these civilians, Su Xiao felt that the previous Iron Hand was very clever, and it was likely to make enemies everywhere.
If it is another official, enemies are definitely not far from death everywhere, but the Iron Hand is different. This position must be enemies everywhere. This is a signal to the old king that although the Iron Hand has privileges, it only kisses the old king. Everyone else is an enemy, and the old king's most trusted person is this kind of person.
Su Xiao speeded up her pace appropriately. After all, secret calling was in her body, and her acting would be involved.
Soon, Su Xiao arrived in front of the courtyard of the royal palace. The surrounding area of ​​the courtyard was not a fence, but an iron fence. The decoration of the iron fence was a creature with a canine lion head. The dog represented the official seated by the kingdom, meaning loyalty. The lion head represents the royal family, majestic and guarding the territory.
Thousands of royal guards stood directly around the courtyard. They were wearing golden armor, holding long neat weapons, straight bodies and meticulous looks.
In front of the gate of the palace, dozens of direct guards guarded the sides of the main gate. They looked ahead and did not seem to see Su Xiao.
Su Xiao went straight to the palace.
Wow.
The forward inspection of the weapons directly under the guard, the weapons colliding with the armor made a neat collision sound. They did not prevent Su Xiao from entering the palace, but they represented that they had seen Su Xiao, the iron hand.
High-ranking ministers are free to enter and leave the palace between 6-9 a.m., and special positions such as Iron Hand can enter and leave the palace 24 hours a day.
Huh.
The immediate guard recovered the weapon in his hand, and Su Xiao stepped forward and walked into the palace without anyone stopping it.
Su Xiao was walking on a carved granite slab road. The current time is about 7 o'clock in the morning, so from time to time, officials wearing noble costumes pass by.
The attitude of these officials is very consistent, that is, if they can keep a distance of 10 meters from Su Xiao, they will never approach within 10 meters. This is not fear, but simply does not want to approach Su Xiao. Post, that will surely cry and faint in the toilet.
Su Xiao went into the palace very smoothly, or into a huge castle. This is the palace, where the residence and office are integrated.
As soon as he entered the castle, Su Xiao smelled a faint fragrance. He looked for the source of the scent, and there were several large pots of tulips at the entrance of the castle.
Successfully entering the palace, the second problem appeared, is where the old king is. Fortunately, at this time, an old man wearing a white corset with white silk inlaid on it came.
Seeing the old man, Su Xiao's eyes lit up.
"Where is Herbert."
Su Xiao spoke.
"Humph."
The old white hair snorted and went straight forward.
Seeing the reaction of the old man, Su Xiao was quite surprised. The old man was unexpectedly boney. Since he entered the palace, he has met at least a dozen kingdom officials, and those officials can hide as far as they can, but this old man On the contrary, instead of avoiding it, he went straight to Su Xiao, and looking at it, it seemed that he had to pass by accident with Su Xiao.
The old man's attitude is not good, but what is doubtful is that Su Xiao didn't feel obvious hostility.
Just when the old man was about to pass away with Su Xiao, the old man's shoulder was wrong and he hit Su Xiao's shoulder intentionally.
With a click, Su Xiao heard a crisp sound coming from the old man's waist, and the old man's legs slumped, almost paralyzed to the ground.
"Why don't you hide, my old bone ..."
The old man whispered, but his lips remained almost motionless.
Needless to say, this old man's relationship with the Iron Hand is by no means hostile, but the two are going to be confrontational in front of other officials.
"accident."
Su Xiao murmured very cooperatively.
"my waist……"
The old man took a few steps back to Su Xiao.
"His Majesty is in the Kingdom Chamber, hum."
The old man deliberately raised his voice ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Although he answered Su Xiao's question, he snorted coldly. From his trembling hands, he could see that his waist should not be twisted lightly. At 89 o'clock, Su Xiao with a real physical strength of 87 hit him.
Su Xiao remembered the information provided by the paradise. According to the description of the appearance, Su Xiao guessed who the old man was, the Kingdom Treasurer, Rowen Harvey, who was in charge of finance and one of the old king's confidants.
Some people think that the old king's confidants will be united as one. In fact, this is not the case. The old king's confidants must not be united as one. They must have some 'small contradictions' in order to be a healthy power system.
Of course, the old king's confidantes will have huge rights. If these people tussle with their enemies every day, it means that their rights may be aggregated, and the old king will definitely lose sleep.
There are four people in the old king's confidante, Kingdom Treasurer Rowan Harvey, Hyena Hirschlett (Head of the Kingdom Regiment), Archon Joe Valentin (managing most officials), and finally It's the Iron Hand.
The extreme means of finance, military power, official management, and necessary time are all indispensable, but if the four are united, it will be bad.
