Su Xiao picked up Rupert, walked out of the villa, and headed straight for the capital. As for the guards here, it depends on the old king's intention. Rupert chose to lurk in Loulin Town, which undoubtedly shows that there must be a channel for Rupert to pass on information. Presumably, the old king will send a special intelligence agency to take over the matter at that time. Letting Su Xiao catch the dish is really a waste of talent. Now it is the election period, and the old king himself feels that he is overwhelmed. At this critical juncture, if Su Xiao is sent out to perform other tasks, it is completely asking for trouble. While moving forward along the way, Su Xiao carefully checked the tools or mechanisms carried by Rupert. I have to admit that this guy is really a ruthless person. Not only does he carry explosives with him, but he also hides three poison needles on his body, and a poison sac is implanted under the skin of his wrist.
It is very likely that Rupert has hidden other means of suicide, because he is ready to die at any time, the purpose is to prevent the secrets of the undead from being leaked. In order to prevent Rupert from committing suicide immediately after waking up, Su Xiao quickly took out a metal syringe from the storage space. The syringe contained a pink solution, which was a treasure that Su Xiao brought out from the Hunter World. It was the venom secreted by a tentacle-like plant in the Kukulu Mountain, which was a paralytic toxin. Although this toxin is not lethal, it is extremely paralyzing. Before, this thing was not certified by the Samsara Paradise, and it was a precious item that Su Xiao spent Paradise Coins to bring out from the Hunter World. When Rupert was injected with this thing, he couldn't even blink his eyelids, let alone commit suicide. Half an hour later, Su Xiao successfully returned to the capital and arrived at the main gate of the palace. Here, Su Xiao saw Bubu Wangzheng and Lin Yi carrying Yierduo. Behind Lin Yi was Rowan Harvey with messy hair. Obviously, Rowan Harvey was dragged to the royal city by Lin Yi. With Rowan Harvey's own unremarkable physical fitness, it was really difficult for him to return to the royal city in such a short time. The palace at night is an absolute restricted area. No one is allowed to enter or leave except a few members of the royal family. Fortunately, the two were not within this restriction, and Su Xiao also had the old king's golden lion pendant. After successfully entering the palace, Lin Yi and Su Xiao were led by two guards to the door of the kingdom's meeting hall. At this time, the old king was "reminiscing" with several princes and princesses inside. There were only five princes and princesses who were qualified to reminisce with the old king. They were the eldest prince with amazing financial resources, the third prince with high affinity in the army, the seventh prince who represented the holy warriors, the second princess who was good at both black and white, and the sixth princess with an extreme style of behavior. The sixth princess wore a black gauze dress and looked about 20 years old, but in fact she was 27 years old. This is a woman who smiles very beautifully, but she is a femme fatale.
It is said that she has a unique hobby of collecting the eyes of the strong. "Father, Iron Hand came to see you so late, maybe there is some good news?" The eldest prince sat closest to the old king, and the smile on his face was still so gentle. "Maybe." The old king's tone was flat, he did not have too many expectations for Su Xiao to bring any good news. The incident happened around ten o'clock in the daytime. From all the signs, the whole thing was obviously carefully arranged. It is impossible to find out the clues so quickly in such a complicated situation. "Maybe Iron Hand came to ask father for help? I know something about what happened during the day, it is very likely that it was done by the dead." The voice of the sixth princess was very clear. When she looked at any prince or princess, the other party would subconsciously avoid her eyes. Because in the eyes of other princes or princesses, the sixth princess was a mad dog. No matter how beautiful she was, she could not hide her mad dog-like character. Bang! The door of the Kingdom Council Hall was suddenly pushed open with a loud noise. The eldest prince, the third prince and others were startled by the sudden noise. Their first reaction was that an assassin had come, and their expressions instantly became tense. The old king gently rubbed his forehead. This old lion was obviously used to all kinds of emergencies. "Huh? Why are you with Iron Hand?" When the eldest prince, the third prince and others saw Lin Yi following Su Xiao, they showed a trace of surprise on their faces. You know, in everyone's cognition, Iron Hand Su Xiao is the old king's sharp blade. No one dares to touch this knife. Once touched, it will be a dead end. "It's okay, I asked him to follow." The old king helped Lin Yi out of the siege. The crown princes around frowned slightly when they heard this. Several people were thinking in their hearts what the old king's behavior meant. Seeing the expressions of several children around him, the old king couldn't help but sigh. This is also why he prefers to stay with Lin Yi, his eldest nephew. The old king has been scheming all his life, and now that he is old, he really doesn't want to continue scheming. "Iron Hand, how is it going?" Because there are "outsiders" present, the old king's tone is very different from usual. If there were only Su Xiao and the old king, the old king's first words would probably be "Iron Hand, come forward" or "How is the matter going?", which would be much more casual than now. "Okay." Su Xiao's answer surprised several princes and princesses. This answer was too casual. They looked at the old king one after another, but found that the old king's expression had not changed at all. Maybe this was the attitude of the two of them in daily interactions. As for Lin Yi, he is even more casual than Su Xiao. When the old king refused to take medicine before, Lin Yi almost pointed at his nose and scolded the old king.
But what is surprising is that the old king just did this. In the old king's view, Lin Yi was an alternative way of expressing family affection. This was much more comfortable than the hypocritical communication with his sons and daughters like the eldest prince. The old king had struggled in the whirlpool of power all his life and had seen too much hypocrisy and flattery. "The mastermind behind the scenes." Su Xiao threw Luper in his hand to the ground. At this moment, Luper was wearing silk pajamas. The only flaw was that his head was slightly bald, which made his whole temperament look a bit weird. "This is……" The old king frowned. He felt that it was unlikely that a human was behind this incident, but he thought that this human might be the undead in disguise. "He is Luper, the leader of the Necron intelligence organization." "Ruper." The old king slowly stood up from the throne. "Father, be careful..." The eldest prince also stood up, and the old king waved his hand, preparing to get closer and watch. "This is the murderer of the little princess." After Su Xiao finished speaking, Lin Yi threw Yi Erduo in front of several people. After hearing Su Xiao's narration, the younger seventh prince opened and closed his mouth slightly, with a look of shock on his face. He was shocked by Su Xiao's amazing efficiency. For such a major incident, less than 12 hours after the incident, a series of relevant personnel were found out, including a big figure like Luper who was in charge of the entire Necron spy organization. Several princes and princesses looked at each other, with complex emotions in their eyes. Today they finally understood why the Iron Hand had those seemingly arrogant privileges. The efficiency shown by Su Xiao right now is too terrifying. This is the Iron Hand. Although the position is not high, it has no military power, financial power, and cannot manage any officials. Moreover, the work it performs is extremely risky and will offend many people. But the Iron Hand is the person that the old lion trusts the most. During the struggle for power, once these princes or princesses do something too outrageous, such as using collaboration and other means to exclude dissidents, the Iron Hand will be their nightmare. "The leader is the undead Luper, and his known assistants include Dunk Nick and Eldo. Yesterday, the little princess died at the hands of the commander of the Karen Army. The queen drank poison in order to delay me. All this was to attract my attention, draw me away, and carry out an assassination in the banquet hall, but the assassination failed. " "Where's Dunk Nick?" Of course the old king knew who Dunk Nick was, it was a name that kept him awake at night. "Kill it." "Well, not bad."
"By the way, old man, I caught a big fish for you here." Lin Yi clapped his hands, and at this time, the door of the Kingdom Council Hall was opened again. The eldest princes present were almost numb from the shock of this series of accidents. Their eyes widened with disbelief on their faces. At this moment, they just wanted to know how all of this happened. At this time, Rowan Harvey appeared in everyone's sight with an unshaven beard. He looked slightly embarrassed, with messy hair and a look of exhaustion on his face. There was no way, Lin Yi wouldn't worry so much when he was on the road. In his opinion, as long as Rowan Harvey didn't die, it would be fine. Rowan Harvey is an important "big fish" and may play a vital role for the old king. "Your Majesty." Rowan Harvey's voice trembled slightly. He lowered his head, not daring to look directly into the eyes of the old king. "Rowan Harvey, I want to know why you betrayed me." The old king slowly returned to the chair and narrowed his eyes slightly. After the old king said these words, there was a sudden silence in the meeting hall. "Gulu." The sound of swallowing saliva came from the eldest prince. Under normal circumstances, the eldest prince's calm character would not cause him to lose his temper like this. However, Rowan Harvey is the financial officer of the kingdom, and the eldest prince is very knowledgeable about finance, so he lost his temper. If Rowan Harvey really did something to the kingdom's finances, it would not be as simple as how many gold coins the kingdom lost. This may trigger a series of serious consequences and even affect the stability of the entire kingdom. "Oh, there's nothing I can do. My parents have always been in each other's hands. After my parents died one after another, the Necromancers arrested my sister and forced me to work for them." Rowan Harvey smiled bitterly, his heart full of bitterness. To be honest, this bullshit spy can be done by anyone who likes it, but the problem is that Rowan Harvey's talent is too special and cannot be copied at all. Although Rowan Harvey is a mixed race, he is an extremely rare existence among mixed races, and can even be said to be the first example in history. He has no characteristics of the Necrons at all. No matter how you look at him, he looks 100% human. In other words, the blood of the undead could not be detected in his body at all. Initially, the Undead also believed that Rowan Harvey was a human. For this reason, his mother was almost exiled for infidelity. However, something changed Rowan Harvey's life, that is, he awakened the power of the dead in his childhood. You know, the power of the dead can be acquired later or inherited. As a two-year-old child, Rowan Harvey had no conditions to acquire the power of the dead. This incident alarmed the top leaders of the Undead, and they began to study Rowan Harvey, a half-blood Undead. After a careful study, the top leaders of the Undead came to a conclusion that Rowan Harvey was indeed a half-blood, and a half-blood that was biased towards the Undead, but his physical characteristics were completely human.
The top leaders of the Undead immediately realized the great value of Rowan Harvey. At first, the top leaders of the Undead intended to train Rowan Harvey to the side of force, but Rowan Harvey's qualifications were limited. But when Rowan Harvey was seventeen years old, he showed a surprising financial talent. After decades of careful operation, Rowan Harvey served as the treasurer of the Kingdom of Saint Sodin at the age of fifty-nine, and was deeply trusted by the old king. As a price, Rowan Harvey's family was held hostage by the Undead Clan to ensure that Rowan Harvey would not betray the country. The old king stared at Rowan Harvey closely, with complex emotions intertwined in his eyes. It seemed that he had a lot to say, but when he got to his lips, he didn't know what to say in the end. Thousands of words, in the end, only turned into this heavy sigh. "Take him away, remember to keep a close watch, and don't let him get into trouble anyway." The old king waved his hand and asked two guards to suppress Rowan Harvey. Rowan Harvey lowered his head and left silently with the guards. There was no way, Rowan Harvey's position was too critical. The old king didn't dare to kill Rowan Harvey directly, and he had to find a way to make Rowan Harvey spit out everything he knew. "Old man, I brought the person back for you. I didn't sleep well these two days and I was running around all the time. See how you can compensate me." Lin Yi approached the old king and pointed at the dark circles around his eyes. The so-called dark circles were actually the smoky makeup that Lin Yi had just put on. Otherwise, with Lin Yi's physical fitness, it would not be a problem for him to survive for dozens of days. "Okay, okay, you just know how to stare at the materials in my secret vault. Here's the token. Get out of here." The old king looked at Lin Yi helplessly and threw him a token. "Okay, Iron Hand, come on, follow me to move the materials. I may not be able to move them alone." Lin Yi's face was full of excitement, and he turned around to greet Su Xiao. After hearing what Lin Yi said, Su Xiao's heart was almost unbearable. He forced himself to keep a blank expression and looked at the old king. The old king opened his eyelids and glanced at Su Xiao. The meaning in his eyes was very clear, you just follow this guy. In this way, Su Xiao and Lin Yi successfully left the Kingdom Council Hall and came to the vicinity of the Royal Secret Library. Here, Lin Yi and Su Xiao saw more than a dozen holy warriors leading a patrol. The sky was directly blocked by an alchemy array, and even a flying bird could not get close. "Token." After Lin Yi and Su Xiao approached, several holy warriors blocked their way. Although they recognized the identities of Lin Yi and Su Xiao, they still had to follow the process. After all, the Royal Secret Library was very important and could not tolerate any carelessness. Lin Yi took out the token thrown to him by the old king from his pocket. After several holy warriors carefully checked and confirmed that there was no problem with the token, they made way. Entering the secret library, Lin Yi and Su Xiao saw a lot of rare alchemical materials. Su Xiao carefully identified the medicinal materials in front of him while gently rubbing his slightly stiff cheeks. What he hated most was pretending to be such a spy. Whether it was talking or doing things, he had to be careful, and his identity would be exposed if he was not careful. But the power of the Iron Hand is too high. Without the power of the Iron Hand, Su Xiao would not know so many secrets about the royal family.
This made him helpless, but he had to admit the convenience brought by this power. In just ten minutes, the precious medicinal materials in the entire warehouse were divided up by the two. "Aren't you going to take other things?" "Taking too much can easily cause trouble." He did not take all the medicinal materials here, but just cleared out some rare medicinal materials. In this way, outsiders would not doubt anything when they saw it. After all, Lin Yi's identity destined him to like these rare medicinal materials the most. "Speaking of Rowan Harvey's treason this time, the one who was most affected was the eldest prince." "Well, if he is a smart man, he should choose to withdraw by himself." Su Xiao agreed with Lin Yi's statement. The most embarrassing thing about the eldest prince was that he had a very good relationship with Rowan Harvey in the past, and even his financial skills were taught by Rowan Harvey. In this case, the eldest prince must avoid suspicion. There is no way, who made the eldest prince so close to Rowan Harvey? If Rowan Harvey had not been in trouble, the eldest prince would have been able to thrive with Rowan Harvey's powerful influence. Now that Rowan Harvey has been in trouble, the eldest prince will naturally have to bear the corresponding consequences. On the other hand, just as Su Xiao and Lin Yi guessed, the eldest prince gritted his teeth and made a decision to withdraw from the competition for the throne and instead devote himself to the action of checking the financial problems of the kingdom. This move was not surprising to several people, including the old king. The current eldest prince does not have enough capital to continue to gain a foothold in this fierce competition for the throne. However, what other competitors never expected was that the third prince also chose to withdraw from the competition. The excuse he gave was to guard the border to prevent the undead from taking the opportunity to attack. If the Kingdom of Saint Sodin is likened to a magnificent pyramid, then the top of the pyramid is undoubtedly the supreme royal power. The next step is military power, finance and governance, and the next step is the various institutions branched out from the three. These three are like solid pillars, supporting the royal power together. If any link has problems, the royal power may face the danger of direct collapse. "Don't you two regret it?" "No regrets." The eldest prince and the third prince answered in unison. Don't think that the two will become brothers because of this. Even now, they still dislike each other. "Okay, that's it." The old king stood up and walked slowly out of the meeting room. (End of this chapter)
