The red sun hangs low, the sky is a fiery red, and the entire holy city is filled with smoke.
After a busy day, civilians returned to their homes as usual. What awaited them was steaming meals and the laughter of their children.
Some scantily clad women are wandering on the streets. They are the cheapest wild mandarin ducks. It is worth mentioning that the royal capital does not regulate this ancient industry. They are also a large industrial chain, even if it is a 'private business'
Taxes also need to be paid.
Thinking about it, in this technologically backward world, there are basically no entertainment activities at night except for creating humans and drinking. Year-round wars have caused the prices of food, fruits and vegetables to remain high, and wine has become a luxury product. Therefore, the movement to create humans is a common people's activity.
The only entertainment in the evening.
Of course, there is no family planning in this world. On the contrary, if a couple has more than 3 children, the children born after that will receive subsidies from the royal family, which is a huge amount of income.
Someone has calculated that if you raise more than 10 children, you will basically not have to work, and the throne's subsidy will be enough to live on.
To maintain the war, a large population base is needed, so the Kingdom of Saint Sodin strongly encourages childbirth. If those wild mandarin ducks on the street unexpectedly become pregnant, they will not need to work, and they will have no worries about food and clothing for the next year.
Under this legal system, the people of the Saint-Sodin Kingdom are very open-minded, and the status of women has skyrocketed. There is no such thing as equality between men and women in this world, because in the eyes of everyone, men and women are originally equal. This is a matter of course and there is no need to do so.
to promote.
The red sun in the sky gradually dropped below the horizon, and darkness came. Except for a small part of the entire royal capital, other locations were slightly dim.
In the Iron Hand mansion, Su Xiao was standing in the courtyard. Behind him were ten guards wearing black armor. They were not ordinary soldiers, but killing machines specially trained by the royal family. As long as they were given an order, they would be allowed to go.
Even if they die, they won't hesitate at all.
The old king was talking about the direct guards of the royal family before, but now he has sent ten imperial guards. Needless to say, the meaning of this is to clear out all unstable factors tonight.
"It's almost time."
The Dragon-Slaying Flash appeared in Su Xiao's hands, and he inserted the Dragon-Slaying Flash in its sheath into his waist.
"Set off."
Su Xiao walked up to the outside of the mansion. Behind him were Bubo Wang, Amu and ten guards. These ten guards had expressionless faces, as if they had no emotions.
Su Xiao, who was going to kill someone, was full of blood. With the addition of the ten 'killing machines' behind him, the surrounding temperature seemed to begin to drop.
The bright moon hung high in the sky, Su Xiao was walking on the streets of the royal capital, and the bright moonlight reflected on his face. Tonight was a good night for killing people.
There was no one on the street. Except for the heavy footsteps of Amu, the surroundings were completely silent. The entire royal capital seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep in the night.
Su Xiao's first target is Ian Pollitt, the congressman. This guy is the best to deal with.
During the day, Su Xiao had already identified the residential locations of the four targets. Three of them lived in the central area of the capital. The closer to the center of the capital, the higher the price. It is also commonly known as the 'rich area'. People living here
People are either rich or noble.
Among the four people, only one does not live here, that is, Chief Judge Hervé Anthony. His official rank is not high. Although his wealth ranks among the top three in the royal capital, he must keep a low profile because he
The source of the money is unknown.
The reason why the old king wants to get rid of the chief judge is not because the other party wants to rebel, but because the other party is too rich. The old king wants to leave a "newbie gift package" to the new king.
In terms of ability, the chief judge is very good, but it is a pity that he did not see the situation clearly. He did not care about the old king's joke two days ago that "the treasury is tight recently". In fact, it was given to him by the old king.
At the last chance, by spending most of his family wealth, the chief judge could not only retain his official position, but also his life.
What does it mean to accompany a king like a tiger? This is what the old king said as a joke, but in fact it is related to someone's life or death.
After Su Xiao walked on the street for about ten minutes, the buildings on both sides of the street were no longer dim. Some buildings were emitting dim candlelight. This was a place similar to a 'high-end club' in the royal capital, providing food, drinks, women,
Sometimes there are some ingenious entertainment activities, which is the favorite entertainment place for the rich at night.
Tonight, our congressman and his wife came to this 'high-class club'. These two couples are also strange. The husband will find young and beautiful women here, and the wife will choose the young man of her choice. The two couples are extremely harmonious.
', or it could be said that there is no affection between them at all, and they became a couple purely because of rights and interests. In this case, it is better to have fun together. It is better to be clear than to be secretive, and it is also very exciting. This kind of thing can be done in Fu
It is not uncommon in humans.
A woman's delicate laughter came from the three-story castle, and from time to time there was a loud laugh from a man.
Su Xiao led people towards the castle. There were two strong men standing in front of the castle. They were wearing bright armor and had knight swords hanging on their waists.
"stop!"
One of the strong men shouted low. He saw Su Xiao coming towards him through the dim candlelight. Based on his many years of experience as a doorkeeper, Su Xiao was definitely not a guest. In all likelihood, he was here to cause trouble.
"This is Lord Warner's private territory. If you don't want to die, just die."
The strong man's attitude could no longer be described as bad. Although he saw the soldiers behind Su Xiao, he had never seen the clothes of these soldiers. Secondly, Su Xiao was not wearing clothes unique to aristocrats. The combination of the two made
The strong man judged that Su Xiao was probably a wealthy businessman with several guards. Most likely, he was here to cause trouble. There was no need to bring guards when he was having fun in the capital.
The strong man has seen many people like this, and he can handle them with ease. First of all, he must have a tough attitude and never back down. Behind him is an adult who holds a high position in the royal capital.
"Warner?"
Lidya Su's footsteps paused.
"Warner Vaughn?"
Su Xiao was a little surprised, because Warner Vonn was his second target. He didn't expect that this gold-selling kiln was actually that guy's property.
"You are?"
The strong man's attitude changed drastically. Su Xiao was too casual when he called out Warner Vonn's name. This made the strong man vaguely feel that something was wrong.
"Iron, iron, iron..."
Another strong man spoke in a trembling voice. With the help of the soft candlelight in front of the door, he saw Su Xiao's hand wrapped in a red metal armguard.
After Su Xiao got the official position of the Iron Hand, the [King of the King] armguard on his left arm was given a special meaning. This armguard is the symbol of the Iron Hand and is unique.
"Arrest him and interrogate him about the guests here tonight."
As soon as Su Xiao finished speaking, the two imperial guards behind him rushed forward.
Bang, bang.
After two groans, the two strong men were knocked down.
"Woo. Wu..."
The two strong men whose mouths were covered tried to call for help, but unfortunately they were dragged into a side alley. A few seconds later, painful whimpering could be heard in the alley, and the faint sound of blood splattering could be heard.
Ten seconds later, two Imperial Guards knelt on one knee in front of Su Xiao, his black armor already stained with blood.
"Sir, the only guests here tonight are Mr. and Mrs. Pollitt."
The voice of the Imperial Guard was mechanical and dull, with no emotion at all.
"very good."
Su Xiao's eyes narrowed. The Polite couple were unexpectedly unrestrained and actually booked the venue.
"Leave no one behind."
"yes!"
The ten imperial guards pulled out the long swords from their waists one after another, and the cold air rose from Amu's body. Bubu Wang jumped to the roof of the building next door to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the chaos to escape.
"Moo!"
Ammu rushed straight to the castle.
Boom!
Rubbles flew and a roar spread throughout half of the royal capital.
In the palace, the old king, who was already lying on the bed, opened his eyes.
