On the streets of the royal capital, Su Xiao and Bu Bu Wang walked slowly forward, each holding a peach-like fruit in their hands.
One person and one dog almost synchronized and each took a big mouthful of fruit flesh——
Su Xiao was very hungry, and so was Bubu Wang. From last night to now, Su Xiao was either fighting with others, or on the way to fight with others. She had no time to eat or even saliva.
drink--
At ten o'clock in the night, he finally finished fighting with people, but he still didn't have time, because he was going to a small village to find out the mastermind behind the scenes——
After that, the man behind the scenes was handed over to the old king. He thought he could rest for a while, but who knew he was going to visit those princes or princesses soon.
When Su Xiao finished all this, it was already 3 o'clock in the morning. When he visited the last princess, the princess was very nervous and thought that Su Xiao wanted to have sex with her.
At 3 o'clock in the morning, of course no shops would be open on the streets of the royal capital, so Su Xiao got some fruits to satisfy her hunger. It has to be said that the fruits in this world look a bit ugly, but they taste pretty good.
"Woof."
Bubu barked, which meant: "Master, I want to eat meat."
Crunch, crunch, crunch...
Su Xiao chewed the pulp in his mouth. Although the taste of this thing was good, with his physique, it could only relieve hunger to a small extent at most.
"Be patient for now."
Su Xiao spoke vaguely, and Bubuwang sighed.
"As expected, the old king will host a banquet later."
Su Xiao has been running around all night, and now she is back to the palace at 3 o'clock in the morning. It would be unjust if the old king didn't say something. You know, after Su Xiao solved the "murder case of the little princess", the old king didn't even give a word of praise.
.
Of course, Su Xiao did not want verbal praise. According to his judgment, the old king would not forget this matter.
Hearing Su Xiao's words, Bubu Wang, who was already so hungry that his steps were trivial, became more energetic. What that means is: "Really?"
"Of course, if there is no banquet, we will rebel against him."
Su Xiao smiled. He was not joking. If the old king did not reward him at this time, it would mean that the old king had begun to doubt Su Xiao.
Once this happens, Su Xiao will kill the old king and a large group of princes and princesses before being robbed of his rights——
When Su Xiao returned to the palace, the old king did not hold a banquet, but took a nap on the throne in the meeting hall——
Su Xiao looked at the old king sitting on the throne. At this time, the old king gave him a very strange feeling. He was so angry that he seemed to be dying at any time.
Just when Su Xiao thought that the old king was about to kick his legs and raise his braids, the old king's eyes opened and the feeling of anger disappeared.
"Has it been dealt with? Cough cough cough..."
The old king let out a dry cough and his face turned red.
"It's taken care of."
Su Xiao felt that the old king's state was very wrong.
The old king took out a clay bottle from his arms with trembling hands. He poured some gray powder from the clay bottle, poured it on the tiger's mouth of his left hand, raised his left hand to his mouth and nose, and took a deep breath.
"Hoo~"
The old king's breathing became much easier, and his flushed face gradually recovered.
"Thank you for your hard work. I originally wanted to help you host a banquet, but I can't seem to hold on for long."
The old king waved his hand to Su Xiao and motioned for Su Xiao to come forward.
Su Xiao didn't know what the old king wanted to do now, but just now, he felt that the old king was about to die soon.
"Iron Hand, who among my descendants do you like the most?"
The old king's eyes were bloodshot, and he probably hadn't had much rest in the past few days.
"The Great Prince."
Su Xiao knew who the old king supported the most, so he chose a relatively safe prince——
"Valentin also thinks highly of him."
The old king smiled, and the Valentine in his mouth was Consul Joe Valentine.
"Heslett is not in the royal capital. Whoever you and Valentine support, or who you are willing to assist, can take charge of the king's power as quickly as possible."
The old king turned his gaze and looked at the side hall of the meeting hall: "Valentine, come out."
With a creak, a wooden door was pushed open, and Consul Joe Valentine walked into the chamber. This henpecked powerful official had a tired face, and he probably hadn't had much rest in the past two days.
"You and the Iron Hand made the same choice."
The old king motioned to the consul Joe Valentine to come forward, and Joe Valentine bowed to the old king.
"Cough cough cough..."
The old king began to cough again and again. His hand shook and the pottery bottle in his hand fell to the ground. Joe Valentine
He rushed forward, picked up the pottery bottle, and poured the gray powder into the old king's hand.
"Hoo, ho, ho..."
The old king gasped for breath.
"I used to take the medicine once every five days, but now I have to use it at least 30 times a day. People just don't take it anymore as they get older."
The old king laughed dryly a few times, while Joe Valentine lowered his head and did not dare to apologize.
"How long can I hold on?"
Su Xiao spoke, and when he heard these words, the corners of Joe Valentine's eyes jumped.
"I may...not survive tonight."
The old king winked at Su Xiao, and the meaning was very clear. As long as Joe Valentine's expression was slightly strange, Su Xiao would immediately kill Joe Valentine on the spot.
"Your Majesty...Your Majesty?"
Joe Valentine felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He looked at the old king in astonishment. His blood-colored eyes turned red, and tears welled up from his eye sockets——
The old king stared into Joe Valentine's eyes. After a few seconds, the old king felt a little guilty. If Joe Valentine had done something wrong before, he would have asked Su Xiao to get rid of Joe Valentine.
Judging from the current situation, Joe Valentine is a loyal minister. When the old king said that he could not survive the night, Joe Valentine's eye circles immediately turned red. The old king had seen countless people, and he could see that Joe Valentine
Lundin is heartbroken.
"Valentin, at my age, life and death are normal things."
The old king wanted to raise his hand to pat Joe Valentine on the shoulder, but he didn't even have the strength to raise his hand now. The secret medicine he took three days ago was rapidly losing its effectiveness.
"But Your Majesty..."
Joe Valentine knelt down on one knee, tears falling on the smooth marble floor. Joe Valentine recalled the past in his mind. At that time, he was 30 years old and was just a subordinate of a famous noble.
"This man is not bad. Although he is ugly, he is capable. He will be sent to the royal capital."
This was what the old king said to the great nobleman. At that time, Joe Valentine, who was kneeling on the ground, was a little scared. But in the following ten years, he was filled with gratitude and grateful to the old king for his kindness.
"I'm 65 years old, and I have so many shits to deal with every day. Of course my body can't bear it."——
The old king was not frightened by the fact that he was about to die soon, but faced it calmly.
"Valentin, go and call the eldest prince."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Joe Valentine wiped away his tears, turned around and walked out of the meeting hall. When Joe Valentine left the meeting hall, the old king looked at Su Xiao.
"This is my choice, and it is also your choice. Although it is against the rules, the rules are set by people."
The old king still looked half-dead, but Su Xiao felt that something was wrong with the old lion.
