Seeing the information of these five people, Bu Buwang was obviously entangled, and in his opinion, the probability of these five people becoming the new king was not low.

Of course, these five people are only the most likely to become the new king, and the remaining ones are not completely hopeless.

These competitors can basically be summarized into four types, the first is the voluntary abstention, a total of 18 people, the second belongs to soy sauce, a total of 16 people, the third belongs to ambition and no strength, a total of 10 people, and the fourth is ambitious and powerful, that is, the 5 princes and princesses.

After a period of time, Su Xiao will of course pay proper attention to these people, after all, his main quest is related to these people, he needs to choose one of the 49 princes or princesses, and let them succeed to the throne.

Su Xiao still had 14 days to observe, so he was not in a hurry to make a choice.

Walking on the bustling streets, Su Xiao soon arrived near the palace.

As soon as Su Xiao approached the palace, the expressions of several officials who were talking at the gate of the palace changed, and it was obviously not okay for them to walk away directly, it was too embarrassing, as for standing there in the way, forget it.

Now in the eyes of these officials, the Iron Hand is a collection of killing gods + plague gods + death gods, and they can never be offended.

The three officials walked towards the palace, their expressions as natural as possible.

The old king's summons today is not to discuss matters, but to set up a banquet and a luncheon.

Of course, this meal was not so delicious, because ten princes or princesses also attended the banquet, and all the officials in the royal capital who held real power must also be present, and this banquet must be very 'lively'.

When Su Xiao entered the banquet hall in the palace, he found that more than 100 people had gathered here.

Don't underestimate these more than 100 people, any of these people are big people, they don't have real power and huge wealth in their hands, and they are not qualified to come to this luncheon.

In the banquet hall, there are many long square tables with high-quality drinks, a variety of rare fruits, and delicate snacks.

The old king had not yet appeared, so the atmosphere in the banquet hall was very lively, and among the many officials, there were many great merchants, who although they held a great deal of wealth in their hands, but their status in the banquet hall was not high.

The reason why the old king summoned these big merchants was mainly to let these people meet those princes or princesses, and the meaning was obvious, and he chose one of them to support him.

Of course, the big businessmen who can enter the eyes of the old king are not small people, but in today's banquet hall, they have become small characters.

As soon as Su Xiao walked into the banquet hall, many eyes focused on him.

"Hey, over here."

A rough shout came, and the one who dared to greet the Iron Hand like this was certainly not a small character, this person was the Commander of the Kingdom Legion, Heslet, who was in charge of the kingdom's military power, he was dressed in black, and there were several crisscrossing scars on his face.

There were two people sitting next to Heslet, one of them Su Xiao recognized, it was the old man of the kingdom's financial officer, Rowan Harvey, and the other person Su Xiao had never seen, according to his guess, this person was probably the consul Joe Valentine.

Including Su Xiao, the four most trusted henchmen of the old king are here.

Su Xiao walked in the direction of Rowan Harvey and the others, if it was in the past, Rowan Harvey would definitely show a hostile attitude, but today is different, he no longer needs to put on that hostile attitude.

"Iron Hand, you slipped away early yesterday, but I still haven't had a good night's sleep."

The old man, Rowan Harvey, spoke, his face was unconcealed tiredness, it seemed that raiding the house was not an easy job.

Su Xiao sat at the wooden table, next to him were Rowan Harvey and the other three side by side, this square table was the closest to the old king's seat, except for Su Xiao and the other four, no one else was qualified to sit here, even those princes or princesses.

"It's not easy to kill, I met Joseph Ko last night."

Su Xiao also changed his previous taciturn attitude, because he knew that the current situation was very special.

Before the struggle for power began, Su Xiao and the other four most trusted ministers of the old king must have some small contradictions with each other, even if the contradiction is a joke, this is actually an attitude, an attitude that makes the old king feel at ease.

Now it is different, and the situation in which there was a small contradiction between each other before is obviously not suitable for the current situation.

Once the power struggle begins, no matter how many officials the old king kills, the situation in the royal capital will be a little turbulent, at this point in time, of course, there can be no 'small contradictions' between the four people, on the contrary, the four people must show unity, so as to help the old king calm the scene.

"Joseph Coe?"

The Captain of the Kingdom Legion, Heslet, spoke, apparently recognizing Joseph Ko.

"He's ...... now"

Heslett seemed to ask unintentionally, but in fact he wanted Joseph Ke to live.

"I slaughtered him, if I guessed correctly, he came to pay off his debts."

"Is that so?"

Heslett sighed, and there was some regret in his eyes, not just for the sake of the scene, but from the heart, having fought alongside Joseph Coe.

"Have a drink."

Heslett picked up the wine glass, the wine in the glass was very full, Rowan Harvey and Archon Joe Valentine both raised metal wine glasses, and Su Xiao also raised the wine glass.

Bite~

The wine glasses touched, and the four of them drank it all, which was an attitude, and many people in the banquet hall saw the four people clinking glasses.

"White Night, let's talk about something intimate, did he say anything interesting when you killed the high priest last night? That guy is a god. ”

Archon Joe Valentine, a thin, middle-aged man in charge of most of the officials, spoke.

Hearing Joe Valentine mention the High Priest, Su Xiao turned his gaze to look at the other party.

"Interesting? He said he was going to marry his daughter to me and let me spare his life. ”

"The High Priest has a daughter?"

"Maybe it's an illegitimate daughter, that guy's style has always been indecent, but with that guy's appearance, his daughter ......"

"Hahaha."

Heslett laughed out loud, this guy has a more bold personality.

"Then again, who do you fancy this time?"

The little old man Rowan Harvey put down the wine glass in his hand, and shook it with both hands, he was definitely a glutton in the power struggle, after all, he held the financial power.

"I'm optimistic about the third prince, no matter how you look at him, it's pleasing to the eye."

Legion Commander Heslett spoke, his support for the third prince is something that everyone thinks, as for standing on the wrong team, don't joke, even if Heslet is on the wrong team, what can he do? He holds the military power in his hands, and as soon as Heslett dies, the joke will be bigger, and the front-line theater may collapse.

As long as the new king is in his right mind, no matter who Heslet supports, the new king will not be able to touch Heslet, but will win over the captain of the kingdom.

"Who are you supporting? Do you want to live when I don't want to live? ”

Joe Valentine laughed dryly, he couldn't just reveal who he supported, it would be bad if he was wrong.

"Valentine, were you beaten up by your wife again? Why is your face bruised? ”

The little old man Rowan Harvey began to tease Joe Valentine, Joe Valentine, a big man, has a characteristic, that is, he is afraid of guilt, his wife is a super ruthless person, and the nightlife of these two couples at night, who rubs who is really not necessarily.

"Shut up, old pig."

"He was definitely beaten up by his wife again,"

Heslett added fuel to the fire.

"A reckless man, an old immortal, you two ***."

Joe Valentine exploded again.

These three people are the most powerful people outside the old king, and the big man must be serious? Mannerisms? No, in private, these big people will also burst into foul language, but they are not known to outsiders, in the eyes of outsiders, they are high, as long as they sit there, there is a sense of majesty.

Don't talk about these three people, the old king will also be angry with Su Xiao and the other four, and once the old king was angry with Heslet, pointing at Heslet's nose and shouting 'You get out of here', this is a cronie, if it is other officials who provoke the old king, no, they can't anger the old king at all, because they have become corpses before that.

At the table in the distance, two seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls were talking and laughing in a low voice, these were two princesses, but because they were young, they directly gave up the struggle for power, so they didn't need to intrigue with each other.

"Lydia, what do you say the four of them are discussing?"

One of the princesses spoke.

"I don't know, it's supposed to be discussing a big event, Lord Joe Valentine's face is flushed, it should be a very important thing."

Lydia was actually very curious, what national affairs Su Xiao and the other four were talking about.

In fact, Rowan Harvey is describing a time when he and Joe Valentine were having fun, and then he was blocked by Joe Valentine's wife, Joe Valentine was so frightened that he jumped out of the window without even wearing pants, but this guy is worthy of being an archon, and his IQ is absolutely top, although he is defenseless, he covers a particularly critical part with his hands, that is, his face.

Just then, the door of the banquet hall was pushed open, and the king arrived.

PS: (Today's two watches, it should be regarded as a day off, the temperature in the north has plummeted recently, and the small plastic body of waste mosquitoes has naturally caught a cold.) ）
