Walking in the lively market, Su Xiao looked around. He needs to go to the palace now. The old king has secretly summoned him. The so-called secret call actually means that the old king is in a hurry.
Now it is impossible to find out where the palace is with passers-by. Su Xiao is an iron hand. It is ridiculous that the dignified iron hand doesn't know where the palace is.
What is a bit of a headache is that the palace of the Kingdom of San Sordin is probably not that kind of huge and magnificent building, at least not like the palace in Zhanchi World, as long as you are in the imperial capital, you can see where the palace is.
According to the detailed information introduced by the world, the structure of the royal palace in this world is more similar to a castle, a castle with a huge courtyard.
There are two main functions of the palace, one is that the king and many queens live, 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, and it only needs to be able to accommodate dozens of people. In this world of perennial wars, when all human beings are wholeheartedly defending against foreign enemies, the royal family is likely to be different. He will be greedy for pleasure, and build a huge palace in order to show his royal status.
A mechanical eye appeared in Su Xiao's hand. This is the eye of the apostle. It can detect both the enemy's attributes and the terrain of half a kilometer.
As the old king's confidant, the Iron Hand shouldn't live too far from the palace.
Sure enough, when the eye of the apostle floated to a height of 100 meters in the air, it detected a not-so-luxury, but majestic manor.
The manor is at least one kilometer in width. There is no beautiful scenery in the manor, but there are hundreds of sculptures, including sculptures of kings of all dynasties, as well as some great heroes and officials who sacrificed for the kingdom. The kingdom attaches great importance to these victims , To actually put their sculptures together with previous kings, no doubt, this is very popular.
Su Xiao withdrew the apostle's eyes, and rushed to the palace with Boubo Wang, which was less than half a kilometer away from his residence.
When Su Xiao was walking on the street, the civilians around him subconsciously stayed away, with a respectful expression, which was a kind of respect for those who were afraid.
Seeing the reactions of these civilians, Su Xiao felt that the previous Iron Hand was very smart and probably made enemies everywhere.
If it is other officials, making enemies everywhere is definitely not far from death, but the iron hand is different. This position must make enemies everywhere. This is a signal to the old king, that is, although the iron hand has privileges, it is only close to 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 his pace appropriately. After all, he had a secret call, so he had to devote himself to acting.
Soon, Su Xiao arrived at the courtyard of the palace. The courtyard was not surrounded by walls, but a circle of iron fences. The decoration of the iron fence was a creature with a dog's body and a lion's head. The dog's body represented the officials who sat down in the kingdom, meaning loyalty , the lion head represents the royal family, majestic and guarding the territory.
Thousands of guards directly under the royal family stood around the courtyard. They were wearing golden armor and holding neat long weapons. Their bodies were straight and their expressions were meticulous.
In front of the gate of the palace, dozens of direct guards guarded both sides of the main entrance. They looked ahead and didn't seem to see Su Xiao.
Su Xiao walked straight to the palace.
Crash.
The weapons directly under the guards protruded forward, and the weapons collided with the armor to make a neat collision sound. They did not prevent Su Xiao from entering the palace, but meant that they had seen Su Xiao, the iron hand.
Ministers in high positions can freely enter and leave the palace between 6 and 9 o'clock every day, and special positions such as the Iron Hand can enter and leave the palace 24 hours a day.
Hula.
The guards directly under him took back the weapons in their hands, and Su Xiao walked towards the palace without anyone stopping him.
Su Xiao was walking on a granite slab road carved with patterns, and the current time was around 7:00 a.m., so officials in noble costumes passed by from time to time.
The attitudes of these officials are very consistent, that is, if they can keep a distance of 10 meters from Su Xiao, they will never come within 10 meters. This is not because of fear, but simply because they do not want to get close to Su Xiao. position, then you will definitely cry and faint in the toilet.
Su Xiao entered the palace very smoothly, or entered a huge castle. This is the palace, which integrates residence and office.
As soon as he entered the castle, Su Xiao smelled a faint fragrance. He looked for the source of the fragrance, and there were several large pots of tulips placed at the entrance of the castle.
After successfully entering the palace, the second problem arises, which is where is the old king. Fortunately, at this time, an old man wearing a corseted white robe with golden silk patterns on it came.
Seeing this old man, Su Xiao's eyes lit up.
"Where is Herbert?"
Su Xiao spoke.
"Huh."
The old man in white let out a cold snort, and walked straight forward.
Seeing the old man's reaction, Su Xiao was quite surprised. The old man was unexpectedly spineless. Since he entered the palace, he had met at least a dozen kingdom officials, and those officials could hide as far as they could, but this old man On the contrary, not only did he not dodge, but he came straight to Su Xiao. From that appearance, he seemed to pass by Su Xiao 'inadvertently'.
The old man's attitude is not very good, but what makes people puzzled is that Su Xiao didn't feel any obvious hostility.
Just when the old man was about to pass by Su Xiao, the old man's shoulder made a mistake and bumped into Su Xiao's shoulder intentionally.
With a click, Su Xiao heard a crisp sound from the old man's waist, the old man's legs trembled, and he almost sat down on the ground.
"Why don't you hide, my old bones"
The old man spoke in a low voice, but his lips hardly moved.
Undoubtedly, the relationship between the old man and the Iron Hand was by no means hostile, it was just that the two had to show tit for tat in front of other officials.
"Accident."
Su Xiao muttered in a low voice very cooperatively.
"my waist¡¡"
The old man walked a few steps forward with his back to Su Xiao.
"His Majesty the King is in the Kingdom Chamber, hum."
The old man deliberately raised his voice. Although he answered Su Xiao's question, he snorted coldly. From his trembling hands, it can be seen that his waist should be twisted. Presumably, it is 89 points from the real strength and 87 points from the real physical strength. Su Xiao bumped at the point, the old man was already healthy and strong if he didn't pass out.
Su Xiao recalled the information provided by Paradise in his mind. According to the description of his appearance, Su Xiao guessed who this old man was. The financial officer of the kingdom, Rowan Harvey, was in charge of financial power and one of the old king's confidantes.
Some people would think that the old king¡¯s confidants would unite as one, but in fact this is not the case. The old king¡¯s confidants must not be united as one, they must have some ¡®small conflicts¡¯, this is a healthy power system.
Of course, the old king's confidantes will have great rights. If these people share the same hatred every day, it means that their rights may be assembled, and the old king will definitely lose sleep.
There are four confidantes of the old king, Kingdom Treasurer Rowan Harvey, Hyena Heslet (head of the Kingdom Legion in charge of military power), Consul Joe Valentine (responsible for managing most officials), and finally It is the hand of iron.
Finance, military power, official management, and extreme measures when necessary, all four are indispensable, but if the four are combined, it will be bad
