Chapter 614 The Good Show Begins (5K chapter, please subscribe, please vote)
The reason why Joe Valentine said that was obvious, that is, he was hinting that he had known that the high priest had revealed the situation under the throne to Lin Yi last night.
It should be noted that in addition to Lin Yi and Su Xiao, only the Royal Guards knew about this matter.
As for the high priest's own people? They were killed by Su Xiao and the Royal Guards that night.
And this means that Joe Valentine has arranged for someone to intervene in the Royal Guards.
This is not a good sign. You must know that the Royal Guards are the royal army. Joe Valentine can place people in the Royal Guards, which fully shows that the old king seems to have lost control of the control of the people below.
But according to Su Xiao's understanding of the old king, it is impossible for this old lion not to notice Joe Valentine's little movements.
Is he deliberately letting it go? Prepare to find a suitable reason to kill Joe Valentine?
However, Su Xiao just stormed these contents in his mind, and his face did not change at all.
"Interesting? He said he wanted to marry his daughter to me and asked me to spare his life." Su Xiao responded calmly.
"The high priest has a daughter?" Joe Valentine looked surprised.
"Maybe she is an illegitimate daughter. That guy has always been unruly, but with his appearance, his daughter..." Su Xiao shook his head slightly, leaving endless room for imagination before he finished speaking.
"Hahaha." Heslet laughed out loud. He has always been generous, and this sudden humorous remark made him laugh.
Joe Valentine on the other side blinked at Su Xiao, and there seemed to be some deep meaning in his eyes.
"I am optimistic about the third prince. I like him no matter how I look at him." Legion commander Heslet said. His support for the third prince was something that everyone could expect. After all, Heslet held military power and his position in the kingdom was very important.
As for standing on the wrong side, it was simply a joke.
Even if Heslet really stood on the wrong side, what could he do? He has a firm grip on the military power. If something happens to Heslet, the consequences will be disastrous, and the frontline war zone may collapse instantly.
As long as the new king is sane, no matter who Heslet supports, the new king will not dare to touch Heslet easily, but will try his best to win over the kingdom's army commander.
"Who do you support? Do you think I don't want to live?" Joe Valentine laughed dryly. He can't show who he supports casually. Once he stands on the wrong side, it will be bad.
"Valentine, have you been beaten by your wife again? Why is your face blue?" Rowan Harvey began to tease Joe Valentine. Joe Valentine, this big man, has a characteristic, that is, he is afraid of his wife.
His wife is a super ruthless person. It is not certain who has the upper hand in the nightlife of the two couples.
Although the four people are very harmonious on the surface, they actually have their own thoughts.
Rowan Harvey is a spy sent by the Undead Clan, and he is ready to run away.
Su Xiao is the iron hand responsible for cleaning up dissidents, which is equivalent to a sword hanging over the heads of the other three people.
Joe Valentine has more tricks. He has already known about Rowan Harvey and Su Xiao through the Royal Guards, but today he didn't say a word, looking like a great archon who really knows nothing.
Only Heslett is confused and knows nothing.
The four people present now may have more tricks than the people in the entire venue combined.
Su Xiao quietly waited for Rowan Harvey to show his feet, while Rowan Harvey was patiently waiting for the opportunity to run away. Joe Valentine chose not to help either side and was ready to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.
No wonder the old king had to clean up these officials before these crown princes entered the city. If these crown princes were really put together with Su Xiao and others, I am afraid that these crown princes would not know how they died.
"Shut up, old pig." Joe Valentine shouted angrily.
"He must have been beaten up by his wife again." Heslet continued to add fuel to the fire, with a gloating smile on his face.
"One is a reckless man, one is an old man, and you two are old men." Joe Valentine swore again.
These people are the most powerful people besides the old king. However, are big people always serious and well-mannered?
It's not like that. In private, these big people will also swear, but they are not known to outsiders.
In the eyes of outsiders, they are high above, and there is a sense of majesty as long as they sit there.
Not to mention these three people, the old king will also swear at Su Xiao and the other four when he is extremely angry.
Once, the old king was very angry with Heslet, pointing at Heslet's nose and yelling, "Get out of here."
This is how the confidants get along with each other. If other officials irritate the old king, no, they can't irritate the old king at all, because they have become corpses before that.
At the dining table in the distance, two girls in their teens were talking and laughing in low voices. These two were princesses of the kingdom. Because they were young, they wisely gave up the fight for power and therefore did not need to get caught up in the vortex of intrigue.
"Lydia, what do you think the four of them are discussing?" One of the princesses tilted her head slightly, with curiosity in her eyes.
"I don't know, they should be discussing something important. Lord Joe Valentine's face turned red, it must be something important." Lydia responded softly, and her eyes occasionally looked in the direction of Su Xiao and the other four.
In fact, she was also full of curiosity, and wanted to know what national affairs Su Xiao and the other four were talking about.
In fact, Rowan Harvey was vividly describing the embarrassing scene of him and Joe Valentine having fun and being blocked by Joe Valentine's wife.
At this moment, the door of the banquet hall was pushed open and the king arrived.
The old king's arrival immediately quieted the originally noisy banquet hall.
"Father."
"Father."
A total of three princes and a princess came forward, they were the eldest prince, the third prince, the seventh prince, and the second princess.
Except for the sixth princess, the four most favorable competitors arrived in the capital.
The sixth princess did not come, not because of the long journey, but because there was something wrong with her territory.
She will come tomorrow at the earliest, and it may be the day after tomorrow.
The first glance of the old king after entering the door was not at the crown princes, but at Lin Yi in the corner.
Lin Yi smiled at the old king, then lowered his head and continued to eat.
After seeing Lin Yi, the old king did not make any extra moves. He just looked at Lin Yi quietly, then came to the front of several crown princes, and then waved his hand to signal everyone to go down.
Seeing that everyone's attention was not on him, Lin Yi quietly moved a few steps to the center and came to the vicinity of Su Xiao's table.
At this time, everyone began to gather in the middle as much as possible to get closer to the king.
Lin Yi's action did not arouse the suspicion of others. After all, in this occasion, everyone is looking for their own position and striving for more opportunities.
While observing Rowan Harvey, Lin Yi also looked at the four princes or princesses.
There is nothing special about the eldest prince. The mustache on his chin is an obvious mark.
The only feeling he gives people is gentleness and politeness.
He is among a large group of officials, and he is like a star among the stars, enjoying the pursuit of everyone.
The third prince is wearing light armor and his expression is slightly gloomy.
His age is similar to that of the eldest prince, but he gives people the feeling of iron-blooded and decisive.
The seventh prince is a handsome man with elegant manners, different from the previous two princes.
He is only 28 years old and full of youthful vitality.
At this time, he is flirting with girls in the banquet hall. Of course, this flirting is just a short form, the full name is flirting with your own sister.
Now in the banquet hall, there are only officials and wealthy businessmen, all of them are old men, and there are only two young girls, the two princesses.
The second princess is sitting on the edge. Although she is not young, she has a beautiful face.
There are also several officials beside her who are trying to make a good impression.
As for "standing in line", it is not possible now, after all, the situation is not clear.
During the banquet, wherever the old king goes, the atmosphere will be lively.
The old king's attitude towards those officials is not close, but not distant, just right to maintain the majesty and demeanor of the king.
Soon, the old king came to the seats of Su Xiao and the other four.
Seeing the old king walking slowly, the head of the kingdom army, Heslet, shrank his neck. This guy who is not afraid of heaven or earth, the only person he is afraid of is the old king.
"Your Majesty." Consul Joe Valentine quickly stood up, ran to the old king, and carefully supported him, playing the role of a lackey to the fullest.
His face was full of flattery, and his eyes were full of flattery.
Su Xiao sat there without moving, and the kingdom's treasurer Rowan Harvey was the same, and the kingdom's army commander Heslet looked around, ready to find an opportunity to escape.
The old king came to the three people with the help of Joe Valentine and sat in the position before Joe Valentine.
"Heslet, do you want to escape when you see me coming?" The old king spoke, his speed was neither fast nor slow, but with a sense of oppression that could not be ignored.
"How... How could it be possible, Your Majesty, you worry too much." Heslet quickly denied, but cold sweat oozed from his forehead.
His eyes were full of tension and uneasiness, as if a child who had done something wrong was caught by an adult. "Sit here honestly. If you dare to slip away early today, I will break all three of your legs." The old king's tone was stern and unquestionable.
"Yes, yes." Heslet nodded repeatedly, not daring to have any intention of disobeying.
Rowan Harvey on the side secretly turned his head to reduce his presence as much as possible to avoid being noticed by the old king.
The old king seemed to notice Rowan Harvey, so he also pulled him out.
"Rowan, how is that matter handled?"
"Your Majesty, in addition to real estate, Elvi Anthony's property has basically been confiscated, including a total of..."
The old king raised his hand to indicate that he didn't need to continue.
"Whoever dares to make trouble in the capital, you four will crush him to ashes."
The old king's seemingly unintentional words actually contain multiple deep meanings.
The most obvious meaning is to let the four people temporarily unite the power system to jointly maintain the stability and order of the capital.
But the deep meaning is actually to stabilize Rowan Harvey and tell him that he needs Rowan Harvey's help recently.
In this way, the old king sent a signal to Rowan Harvey that he had not yet caught Rowan Harvey's handle, and Rowan Harvey did not need to run away for the time being.
Rowan Harvey did not dare to believe the old king's words easily.
In this court full of power and calculation, whoever dared to believe the old king's words would die miserably.
Rowan Harvey's predecessor was deceived by the old king and was still helping the old king count his property before he died.
With such a precedent, Rowan Harvey had to be vigilant.
He looked at the old king's unusual attitude today, and his uneasiness became stronger.
In his opinion, the old king's behavior was not goodwill, but a dangerous omen.
It seems that he must find a way to escape today.
The old king did not sit in the first seat, so the single seat has been unoccupied.
That is the highest position, which represents supreme power and deep loneliness.
The old king seems to be tired of this loneliness. After all, he will abdicate soon.
Because of this, he came to the table of Su Xiao and the other four, sat at the table with the four people he trusted most, and drank happily. He didn't look like he was going to die soon.
The atmosphere in the banquet hall gradually became lively. After a few glasses of wine, the old king, Rowan Harvey, and Joe Valentine blushed.
They are just ordinary people, and it is difficult to resist the effects of alcohol.
Su Xiao and Heslett did not change their expressions. This low-alcohol fruit wine was nothing to Su Xiao, and it was difficult to get drunk.
As several people were drinking, a knight in armor walked into the banquet hall quickly.
He went straight to the old king and whispered a few words to him.
After hearing the knight's secret words, the old king's expression did not change at all, but just asked the knight to withdraw.
"Your Highness..."
Joe Valentine noticed that something was wrong, so he whispered to test.
"Shalin was killed."
The old king's voice was not loud, and there was basically no emotion on his face.
"Little Princess..."
The head of the Kingdom Legion, Heslett, was about to stand up when an arm pressed on his shoulder. It was Rowan Harvey.
"Heslett, calm down."
Rowan Harvey's eyes drooped, he leaned over to the old king and whispered something.
"Well, then I'll leave it to you. Deal with this matter as soon as possible."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Rowan Harvey stood up and walked out of the banquet hall. He still had something very important to deal with.
Seeing Rowan Harvey leave, Bubu Wang came to Lin Yi and bit Lin Yi's clothes, and Hicks didn't know when he appeared behind Lin Yi.
The old king nodded to Lin Yi, and then started talking with Su Xiao on the side.
Lin Yi came to an empty corner and covered his whole body with the power of shadow.
Bubu Wang didn't expect Lin Yi to have this skill, and he seemed very excited.
In the past, it was alone to stealthily explore intelligence, but this time, someone finally went out with it.
After Rowan Harvey left the palace, his steps were indeed heading towards the official residence that was confiscated last night.
Lin Yi and Bubu Wang were hanging about ten meters behind Rowan Harvey.
The two did not focus their eyes on Rowan Harvey for a long time, but stared at him with their peripheral vision.
These are all tricks used for stalking, because people are very sensitive to sight.
Not to mention Lin Yi, a strong man with keen perception, even ordinary people will have some reactions after being stared at for a long time.
Rowan Harvey is obviously a specially trained person.
Lin Yi noticed that the other party used the windows on both sides of the street and some decorations at the corners from time to time to observe whether there was anyone following him.
These are all habits that Rowan Harvey has subconsciously developed. He is very vigilant, but Bubu Wang and Lin Yi's stealth methods are not something that an ordinary person like Rowan Harvey can see through.
When they were about to arrive at the mansion of the chief justice that Su Xiao cleaned up yesterday, Rowan Harvey turned directly into a small alley next to it.
Lin Yi and Bubu Wang hurriedly accelerated to catch up, only to see that a carriage was parked on the opposite side of the alley, and the military logo was printed on the carriage.
The city guards dared not to stop the carriage when they saw such a sign, especially during such a sensitive period. If they really bumped into someone they shouldn't have bumped into, the city guards would die without knowing how they died.
Bubuwang bit the corner of Lin Yi's clothes and signaled Lin Yi to sit on its back.
After the carriage started running on the street, Bubuwang also carried Lin Yi and hung behind the carriage.
At this time, Lin Yi, who was riding on Bubuwang's back, also detected the information of the coachman on the carriage.

…
As if aware of Lin Yi's detection, Dunknik looked back, but he didn't find anything unusual.
But Dunknik didn't believe that his intuition would be wrong. This was something he had honed countless times between life and death, and there was absolutely no chance of it going wrong.
Another groom beside Dunk Nick came over: "Master, what happened?"
Ido noticed that Dunk Nick's expression was very serious just now. In the past, Idol had only seen Dunk Nick with such an expression when he encountered a strong enemy.
"Ildo, you will take the adults away later, and I will take care of the rats behind you." Hearing Dunknik's words, Ilduo nodded. (End of chapter)
