In the early morning of the next day, Su Xiao woke up early.
After washing up and putting on the guard uniform, Su Xiao came to the guard headquarters.
Before entering the headquarters, I saw a large group of guards going in and out of the headquarters, looking in a hurry.
"Quick, Master Oka was killed. This incident alarmed Minister Zuo, who ordered the entire city to search for the prisoner."
Hank commanded a large number of guards with a "sad" look, but there was something called ambition in his eyes, as if he would be the boss after Oka died.
Su Xiao noticed that there were two guards standing at the entrance of the headquarters, watching all this with cold eyes. Those two were the guards who followed Oka last night. Needless to say, they were definitely Oka's confidants.
Hank's move may have made the two of them suspicious, but it is indeed an opportunity. If it is operated properly, Hank may also replace Oka's position.
The bodyguards are not a large department. Except for Oka, everyone else is just an ordinary guard. Oka actually only plays the role of captain.
As for the position of squad leader, the Guards have never had one. Not to mention the additional consumption of funds, Oka will not allow the rights in his hands to be divided. Yesterday, Su Xiao had already experienced Ouka's arrogant character.
The reason why Su Xiao killed Ouka was not because the other party acted like a boss in front of him.
He now needs to quickly improve his status, and there is no suitable position for Ork Immortal.
As for the inside of the palace, Su Xiao didn't understand it, and he didn't want to get involved.
The simpler the plan, the fewer the loopholes. He only needs a position where he can reach the king and climb up quickly.
Tomorrow is the day to burn down the scrap terminal. Of course, the palace will not personally intervene in such a disgraceful thing, and will only send people below to do it.
Su Xiao has investigated and found that there are two groups of security forces in the royal capital. One group is the guards responsible for the security of the royal capital, and the other is the gate guards responsible for guarding the city gates.
Generally speaking, this kind of thing should be left to the guard team, but when selecting weapons in the warehouse, Su Xiao saw a large amount of explosives.
Based on the clues in the warehouse, Su Xiao judged that the explosives had just been stored in the warehouse. As for the purpose of the explosives, it was self-evident.
If you want to set fire to a large-scale scrap terminal, it is obviously impossible to set fire to it.
Therefore, Su Xiao needs the position of leader of the guards. As for whether he can meet the king, it depends on his personal actions.
"Hank, what happened."
Hank, who was directing everyone, turned his head and looked at Su Xiao.
"The boss was assassinated just last night. These guys actually found out this morning. You came just in time. Go with me to see Minister Zuo right away."
Su Xiao felt a chill in her heart. Seeing Minister Zuo? This Hank may not have good intentions. He just became a guard yesterday. This is undoubtedly a handle. Do you want him to be a scapegoat? It is unlikely.
Already thinking about how to be Hank, Su Xiao smiled on her face.
"Minister Zuo? That kind of big shot wants to summon me?"
Su Xiao pretended to be confused, but kept her eyes fixed on Hank.
"Yes, Minister Zuo wants to see you, but I don't know the specific reason."
Hank looked envious, even a little jealous.
This sudden good news made Su Xiao a little surprised. He had no relationship with the palace's senior officials. The only possible connection was... that letter of recommendation? It seemed that the letter of recommendation was far more important than he thought.
Following Hank through several blocks, Su Xiao came to a courtyard, and a luxurious villa appeared in his sight.
Hank was a little nervous and walked forward cautiously, but two guards at the gate stopped Hank.
"Is this the person you want to see?"
Hank nodded quickly, and the two guards took away Hank's weapons. As for Su Xiao, all his weapons were in the storage space, and the guards could not find them.
The guard led the way, and Su Xiao came to a hall.
There was a family having breakfast in the hall, and an old man with white hair and a serious face was sitting at the head.
After seeing Hank, the old man casually dropped the meal in his hand and motioned for the others to step back. Only a strong man was left standing behind the old man.
The strong man gave Su Xiao an unusually dangerous feeling. Although the opponent was using his bare hands, Su Xiao noticed the thick calluses on the opponent's fist bones and the flattened fist bones.
This is a master of physical arts and the old man's personal guard.
"Your name is Hank, is this the new guard?"
The old man speaks slowly and calmly, and is the kind of person who holds a high position.
"Yes, yes, sir."
Hank began to struggle to speak and was very narrow-minded.
"You go down."
The old man was probably a little dissatisfied with Hank's nervousness and didn't look at Hank at all.
Hank lowered his head and retreated to the door, then disappeared from Su Xiao's sight.
"I am the left minister of the kingdom. Carlos gave me many interesting collections. As his nephew, I should take care of them.
Unfortunately, Carlos's trip out of town yesterday was not smooth, and my collection was also in vain. I couldn't find him, so of course I had to look for his nephew, which is you."
Su Xiao guessed what happened.
Carlos was the black marketeer he killed yesterday. After Carlos died, the Zuo Minister's 'consecration' failed. When Carlos could not be found, the Zuo Minister came to find Su Xiao to replace him.
That black marketeer was really unlucky. Not only did he have to be exploited by the guards, but he also had to worship the left minister.
Judging from the current situation, the other party wanted him to purchase goods on Carlos' behalf.
Su Xiao didn't understand the transaction between the two parties. If there wasn't someone protecting the other party, Su Xiao would have controlled the left minister long ago.
But this kind of opportunity to contact the top leaders of the kingdom is also rare.
"There is no problem with the collection. I know all about uncle's channels. He was seriously injured yesterday and is recuperating, but..."
Minister Zuo raised his eyebrows, looked at Su Xiao and said:
"If you can get the collection I need, you can set any conditions. I heard that your captain died yesterday. If things are done, I will let you be the captain of the guard."
Half an hour later, Su Xiao left Minister Zuo's courtyard and strolled down the street.
Things were progressing fairly smoothly, but the conditions put forward by Minister Zuo gave Su Xiao a headache.
Not only that, after Minister Zuo put forward the conditions, new tasks appeared in Samsara Paradise at the same time.
[Trigger side mission: Minister Zuo’s collection]
Collection of Minister Zuo
Difficulty level: lv.2.
Mission introduction: Minister Zuo has a very rich collection. All valuable collections will be taken care of by this greedy old guy.
Mission information: Kill the owner of Mount Colpo and obtain its teeth. (The owner of Mount Colpo: a ferocious beast in the pirate world, a huge cat.)
Task deadline: Within 10 hours.
Mission reward: identity as the leader of the guards.
Punishment for failure: Expelled from the Guards and wanted on unfounded charges.
….
Su Xiao understood who the owner of Mount Kolbo was, the huge tiger that almost killed the young Luffy.
With a long sigh, after entering the world of pirates, the opponents he encountered were all too strong, which made Su Xiao feel helpless.
One day, he will fight all the way with the long knife in his hand, and he will never be as timid as he is now.
But the world of pirates is too dangerous, and he is not even qualified to fight.
You are still too weak, you must learn to be patient before you become strong.
The master of Mount Kolbo is very strong, at least not one that Su Xiao can contend with now, but no matter how strong he is, he is just a beast.
Just because he can't compete head-on doesn't mean that Su Xiao can't kill the tiger.
