Chapter 4: The Royal Palace

Walking in the lively bazaar, Su Xiao's eyes looked around, he needed to go to the palace now, the old king had already secretly summoned him, the so-called secret summoning actually meant that the old king was in a hurry.

Now it is impossible to find out where the palace is with passers-by, Su Xiao is the hand of iron, and the hand of iron does not know where the palace is, it is simply ridiculous.

What makes people a little troublesome is that the royal palace of the Kingdom of Saint Sodin is probably not a huge and magnificent building, at least not like the royal palace of the Chopping World, as long as you are in the imperial capital, you can see where the royal palace is.

According to the details of the world introduction, the structure of the royal palace in this world is more similar to a castle, a castle with a huge courtyard.

The main functions of the royal palace are twofold, 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, it only needs to be able to meet the needs of dozens of people, in this kind of perennial war world, all human beings are wholeheartedly resisting foreign enemies, the royal family will not be greedy for pleasure, in order to show the royal identity to build a huge palace.

A mechanical eye appeared in Su Xiao's hand, this was the eye of the apostle, which could detect both enemy attributes and half a kilometer of terrain.

As the henchman of the old king, the Iron Hand should not live too far from the palace.

Sure enough, when the Apostle's Eye floated to a height of 100 meters in mid-air, it detected a large manor that was not luxurious, but imposing.

This manor is at least one kilometer horizontally, there is no beautiful scenery in the manor, but there are hundreds of sculptures, including the sculptures of the kings of the past dynasties, and there are also some great heroes and officials who sacrificed for the kingdom.

Su Xiao withdrew the apostle's eye and rushed towards the palace with Bu Buwang, which was less than half a kilometer away from his residence.

When Su Xiao walked on the street, the civilians near him all subconsciously stayed away, and their expressions were respectful, which was a kind of respect for people who were afraid.

Seeing the reactions of these civilians, Su Xiao felt that the Iron Hand before was very smart, and it was likely that he was making enemies everywhere.

If it is another official, 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 friendly to the old king, and everyone else is an enemy, and the person the old king trusts the most is this kind of person.

Su Xiao appropriately quickened his pace, after all, he was secretly called, and he had to devote himself to acting.

Soon, Su Xiao arrived in front of the courtyard of the palace, the courtyard was not surrounded by a wall, but a circle of iron fences, the decoration of the iron fence was a creature with a dog body and a lion's head, the dog body represented the officials sitting down in the kingdom, meaning loyalty, and the lion's head represented the royal family, majestic and guarding the territory.

Thousands of royal guards stood around the courtyard, dressed in golden armor and holding neatly long weapons, with straight bodies and meticulous expressions.

In front of the palace gate, dozens of direct guards were guarding both sides of the main gate, and they looked ahead, as if they didn't see Su Xiao.

Su Xiao walked straight towards the palace.

Crash.

The weapons of the direct guards probed forward, and the weapons collided with the armor with a neat collision sound, they did not prevent Su Xiao from entering the palace, but it meant that they had seen Su Xiao, the iron hand.

Ministers in high positions were allowed to enter and leave the palace freely between 6~9 o'clock every day, and special positions such as the Iron Hand were allowed to enter and leave the palace 24 hours a day.

Hula.

The direct guard withdrew the weapon in his hand, and Su Xiao walked towards the palace without anyone stopping him.

Su Xiao was walking on a granite slab road full of patterns, and the current time was about 7 o'clock in the morning, so from time to time there were officials wearing aristocratic clothes passing 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 get close to within 10 meters, this is not fear, but simply do not want to get close to Su Xiao, if it is a charismatic elder who obtains the position of Iron Hand, he will definitely cry and faint in the toilet.

Su Xiao entered the palace very smoothly, or entered a huge castle, which was the palace, integrating residence and office space.

As soon as he walked into the castle, Su Xiao smelled a faint fragrance, and he looked for the source of the fragrance and saw that there were several large pots of tulips at the entrance of the castle.

Successfully entering the palace, the second problem arises, that is, where is the old king, fortunately, at this time there is an old man wearing a corset white robe, the white robe is inlaid with gold thread lines.

Seeing this old man, Su Xiao's eyes lit up.

"Where's Herbert?"

Su Xiao spoke.

"Hmph."

The old man in white let out a cold snort and walked straight forward.

Seeing this old man's reaction, Su Xiao was quite surprised, this old man was unexpectedly backbone, 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 was abruptly the opposite, not only did he not dodge, but went straight to Su Xiao, looking at that look, it seemed that he was going to pass by Su Xiao 'unintentionally'.

The old man's attitude was not very good, but what made people wonder was that Su Xiao did not feel obvious hostility.

Just as the old man was about to pass by Su Xiao, the old man's shoulder was wrong and he deliberately bumped into Su Xiao's shoulder.

With a click, Su Xiao heard a crisp sound from the old man's waist, and the old man's legs trembled, and he almost sat on the ground.

"Why don't you hide, my old bone ......"

The old man whispered, but his lips remained almost immovable.

Needless to say, the relationship between the old man and the Iron Hand was by no means hostile, but only a-for-tat confrontation between the two in front of other officials.

"Accident."

Su Xiao cooperated and muttered in a low voice.

"My Waist ......"

The old man took a few steps forward with his back to Su Xiao.

"His Majesty is in the Kingdom Chamber, huh."

The old man deliberately raised his voice, although he answered Su Xiao's question, but he snorted coldly, and it could be seen from his trembling hands that his waist should not be twisted lightly, and he thought about it, and collided with Su Xiao, who had a real strength of 89 points and a real physical strength of 87 points, this old man was already old and strong if he didn't faint.

Su Xiao recalled the information provided by the paradise in his mind, and according to the description of his appearance, Su Xiao guessed who this old man was, the treasurer of the kingdom, Rowan Harvey, who was in charge of finances and one of the henchmen of the old king.

Some people will think that the henchmen of the old king will be united, but in fact this is not the case, the henchmen of the old king must not be united, they must have some 'small contradictions', so that is a healthy power system.

Of course, the henchmen of the old king will have great power, and if these people are united in hatred every day, it means that their rights may be gathered, and the old king will definitely lose sleep at that time.

The old king's henchmen consisted of four, Rowan Harvey, the treasurer of the kingdom, Hyena Heslett (the commander of the legions of the kingdom who held the military power), Joe Valentine, the consul (who was in charge of most of the officials), and finally the Iron Hand.

Finance, military power, official management, and extreme measures at the necessary time are all indispensable, but it would be bad if the four were combined.
