In the meeting hall, the old king looked around at everyone. The current situation is already obvious, that is, the third prince secretly united with Iron Hand, Consul Joe Valentine and others. The third prince is very supportive, but Heslet has already gone to the border.
The third prince was originally one of the two most likely to become the new king, but the assassination of the little princess caused his advantage to disappear completely, and the third prince was very unwilling.
In fact, the third prince has a large number of troops in his hands. If he wants to rebel, no one can stop him, but the third prince did not rebel, or he is always trying to maintain the stability of the capital, no matter how disadvantaged he is in the power struggle. , He will not mobilize the army guarding the Wall of God, he may fail to seize power, but the Wall of God must be defended, the third prince has always been clear about which is more important.
Originally, the third prince had given up hope, but who knew that Rowan Harvey had actually committed treason. When he heard the news, the third prince was both surprised and delighted. Rowan Harvey's treason almost caused the eldest prince's advantage to plummet.
Rowan Harvey is in charge of finances, and the eldest prince is also in charge of certain financial powers, so the two must have an unclear relationship.
Hearing the news of Rowan Harvey's treason, the eldest prince was so frightened that he almost threw his urine out. Rowan Harvey's treason, his eldest prince will definitely have no good fruit. The kingdom's finances are a whole, not divided .
Therefore, the eldest prince immediately expressed his loyalty, that is, he withdrew from the struggle for power, and devoted himself to stabilizing the kingdom's finances. It seemed righteous, but in fact he was protecting his own life.
It is not surprising that the eldest prince stood up to the old king, because the old king knew the character of the eldest prince, that cautious, elegant, but hypocrite character, which was actually very similar to the old king when he was young, so the old king liked the eldest prince very much.
But the third prince also stood up, which surprised the old king. In the old king's view, the eldest prince was forced to withdraw, and the third prince was the most favorable candidate.
The third prince just stood up. Not only did he stand up, he even jumped towards the throne.
The third prince jumped to the throne, and there was one person who helped him. That person was Joe Valentine. This fearful guy was just kneeling in front of the old king with snot and tears, but now he was standing behind the third prince. .
Grace to know you? Don't be kidding, the old king is determined to kill Joe Valentine, how can Joe Valentine care about the kindness of knowing you, the kingship is ruthless, and the courtiers under the kingship will value love and righteousness?
"Father, I hope this son-in-law did not disappoint you."
The third prince walked towards the old king. He has the potential of a tyrant, iron-blooded, ruthless, and decisive, but he is also thoughtful.
The third prince stepped on the stone ladder in front of the throne, and he approached the throne step by step.
Wangdu, in a luxurious courtyard.
"kill!!"
Hundreds of 'Imperial Guards' formed a battle formation, and they surrounded a young man covered in blood in the center.
"A sign of death."
The young man roared, and invisible energy spread around.
"Shield Array!"
With a clatter, hundreds of 'Principal Guards' blocked the huge shields in their hands in front of them, and the invisible energy swept across them. These Imperial Guards all stepped back a few steps, but they immediately stepped forward again, and the young man around the center.
"ah!!"
The young man let out an angry roar, very unwilling. Although his face was covered with blood, he was a handsome man. He was the seventh prince!
The third prince took action against the seventh prince. Others would be afraid of the seventh prince's appeal to the holy warriors, but the third prince didn't care. He had an army, and under the dense crowd tactics, the holy warriors who dared to make mistakes would also die.
In a courtyard somewhere in the capital.
Poof. Puchi, puchi
Intensive stabbing sounds came, several assassins dressed in black and holding daggers were stabbing a middle-aged man violently. The middle-aged man's body twitched, and the expensive clothes were stained with blood.
"Youcan't, kill me, I'm in charge of money"
Poof. Puchi, puchi
The stabbing sound drowned out the weak voice of the middle-aged man.
"So what if you are in charge of finances? With so many people in the kingdom, you are not the best financially."
The second princess, holding a black feather folding fan, came out of the darkness. She opened the small folding fan and covered her mouth and nose.
"Anyone who opposes Matil will die. Who made him get the support of so many people."
The second princess snorted coldly. Although she was unwilling, she recognized the situation clearly, so she survived.
Similar things are happening in many places in the capital.
In the palace meeting hall, the third prince stepped onto the stone step by step.??, he is getting closer and closer to the throne.
"It seems that among all my descendants, you are more similar to me."
The old king looked at the third prince with a smile. The third prince stopped in his footsteps. He felt that something was wrong with the old lion, very wrong.
"It took you five years to infiltrate the Praetorian Guards. It was too slow. I only spent two years at the beginning."
"Huh~?"
Hearing what the old king said, the domineering third prince was obviously stunned.
"Your eldest brother is very good, but he is indeed a bit narrow-minded. If you kill him, just kill him. As for your second sister, she may become your help, but don't forget that she is not the kind of person who is willing to admit defeat. And Your seventh brother, the Wings of the Entrusted Kingdom is looking for death, I actually wanted to get rid of him a long time ago."
The old king spoke very calmly, but the third prince couldn't calm down. He took a step back subconsciously. At this moment, he felt the fear of the old king. If he fought for power with the old lion, how could he die? I don't even know, I'm definitely being played to the point of doubting my life.
"I'm very relieved that you didn't move the troops on the front line. As for the deal you reached with the Iron Hand, I'm not very interested, but don't forget that if he is unhappy, your head may fall to the ground."
The old king waved his hand to signal the third prince to continue to move forward, but the third prince stood still.
The third prince, who was originally domineering and arrogant, was wilted by the old king in a few words, and may leave a certain degree of shadow in the future.
"Iron Hand, I can see through them, but I can't see through you. Although I don't know what your purpose is, as long as it's not royal power.

No matter what your purpose is, you first helped me get rid of the unstable factors, and then solved the undead assassination incident. During the power struggle, you helped me do a lot of things, some glorious, some dishonorable, since you want to be under the throne, Then just go, it is a place where there is no return. "
The old king looked at Joe Valentine, and Joe Valentine shrank his neck subconsciously. Now the old king is like an old lion, and there is a vicious beast standing beside him. God knows that the old lion and Has that beast reached any deal? Joe Valentine is at best a watchdog. Even if he is a dying lion, he doesn't dare to provoke him.
"Bring a pen."
When the old king spoke, Joe Valentine hesitated for a moment, then took a pen and paper from the side hall.
The old king wrote a few lines of text on a piece of parchment, and the old king holding the parchment looked at Su Xiao.
"Iron Hand, are you sure you want to go under the throne?"
"certainly."
Su Xiao stretched out his hand to the old king. The old king nodded and handed the parchment to Su Xiao.
Just as Su Xiao took the parchment, he grabbed the old king's neck with his other hand.
"Iron Hand, what are you doing!"
Seeing Su Xiao pinching the old king's neck, the third prince roared angrily and turned pale with fright.
Su Xiao and the old king looked at the third prince at the same time, which made the third prince's cheeks twitch. The third prince already understood that these two people were much more terrifying than other contenders for the kingship. One seemed to see through everything, and the other There is no one who dares not kill.
"It seems that your heir is not cruel enough."
"The throne will make him more ruthless, and his shots should be quicker. Killing is what you are best at."
"no problem."
Click it!
Su Xiao cut off the old king's neck under the stunned expression of the third prince. It's not that the third prince didn't want to kill the old king, but he didn't dare to. This old lion is too scary.
