Several princes and princesses looked at each other, their eyes revealing complicated emotions.

Today they finally understood why the Iron Hands had those seemingly outrageous privileges.

The efficiency Su Xiao is showing right now is too terrifying.

This is the Iron Hand. Although his position is not high, he has no military or financial power and cannot manage any officials. Moreover, the work he does is extremely risky and will offend many people.

But the Iron Hand is the person the old lion trusts the most. During the struggle for power, once these princes or princesses do something too extreme, such as using means such as colluding with the enemy to exclude dissidents, the Iron Hand will be their nightmare.

"The mastermind is the undead Luper, and his known helpers include Dunk Nick and Ildur.

Yesterday, the little princess died at the hands of the commander of the Karen Army. The queen drank poison to delay me. All this was to attract my attention, lead me away, and carry out an assassination in the banquet hall, but the assassination failed. "

"Where's Dunk Nick?"

Of course the old king knew who Dunk Nick was; it was a name that kept him awake at night.

"Kill it."

"Yes, Not Bad."

"By the way, old man, I also caught a big fish for you."

Lin Yi clapped his hands, and at this time, the door of the Kingdom Parliament Hall was opened again.

The eldest prince and the others present were almost numbed by the series of accidents.

They opened their eyes wide, their faces full of disbelief, and at this moment they just wanted to know how all this happened.

At this time, Rowan Harvey appeared in everyone's sight with an untidy beard.

He looked a little disheveled, with messy hair and a tired face.

There is no way. Lin Yi doesn't care so much when he is on the road. In his opinion, as long as Rowan Harvey is not dead, it's fine.

Rowan Harvey is an important "big fish" and may play a vital role for the old Kings.

"Your Majesty." Rowan Harvey's voice trembled slightly. He lowered his head, not daring to look directly into the old king's eyes.

"Rowan Harvey, I want to know why you betrayed me." The old king slowly returned to his chair, his eyes narrowed slightly.

After the old king said this, the meeting hall suddenly fell into silence.

"Gurgle." The sound of swallowing saliva was heard, coming from the eldest prince.

Normally speaking, the eldest prince's calm personality would not lead him to lose his composure like this.

However, Rowan Harvey was the treasurer of the kingdom, and the eldest prince was very knowledgeable about finance, so he lost his composure.

If Rowan Harvey really did something to the kingdom's finances, it would not be as simple as the kingdom losing a certain amount of gold coins.

This could lead to a series of serious consequences and even affect the stability of the entire kingdom.

"Alas, there is nothing I can do. My parents have always been in the hands of the other party. After my parents died one after another, the Undead Clan captured my sister and forced me to work for them."

Rowan Harvey smiled bitterly, his heart full of bitterness.

To be honest, anyone who wants to be a spy can do it, but the problem is that Rowan Harvey's talent is too special and cannot be copied at all.

Although Rowan Harvey is a mixed-race, he is an extremely rare mixed-race person, and it can even be said that he is the first case in history.

He has absolutely no characteristics of the Undead. No matter how you look at him, he looks 100% human.

In other words, there was no detectable undead blood in his body at all.

Initially, the Undead also thought that Rowan Harvey was a human.

Because of this, his mother was almost exiled for infidelity.

However, something happened that changed Rowan Harvey's life, and that was the awakening of the power of the dead in his childhood.

You know, the power of the dead can be acquired later or inherited.

As a two-year-old child, Rowan Harvey had no conditions to acquire the power of the dead.

This incident alarmed the high-ranking members of the Undead Clan, and they began to conduct in-depth research on Rowan Harvey, the half-Undead.

After a careful study, the top leaders of the Undead Clan came to the conclusion that Rowan Harvey was indeed a mixed-race, and a mixed-race with Undead tendencies, but his physical features were completely human.

The Undead leaders immediately realized Rowan Harvey's great value.

Initially, the Undead high-ranking officials intended to train Rowan Harvey towards the military side, but Rowan Harvey's qualifications were limited.

But when Rowan Harvey was seventeen years old, he showed surprising financial talent.

After decades of careful operation, Rowan Harvey became the treasurer of the Kingdom of Saint Sodin at the age of fifty-nine and was deeply trusted by the old king.

As a price, Rowan Harvey's family was held hostage by the Undead to ensure that Rowan Harvey would not commit treason.

The old king stared at Rowan Harvey, his eyes filled with complex emotions, as if he had a lot to say, but when it came to his lips, he didn't know what to say.

Thousands of words finally turned into this heavy sigh.

"Take him away. Remember to keep him under close watch. No harm can happen to him." The old king waved his hand and ordered two guards to hold Rowan Harvey down.

Rowan Harvey lowered his head and left silently with the guards.

There is no way, Rowan Harvey's position is too critical.

The old king did not dare to kill Rowan Harvey directly, so he had to find a way to make Rowan Harvey tell him everything he knew.

"Old man, I brought the person back for you. I haven't slept well these two days. I have been running around all the time. See how you can compensate me." Lin Yi approached the old king and pointed at the dark circles around his eyes.

The so-called dark circles were actually the smoky makeup that Lin Yi had just put on. Otherwise, with Lin Yi's physical condition, he would have no problem enduring for dozens more days.

"Okay, okay, you just keep staring at the materials in my secret vault. Here's the token, now get out of here." The old king looked at Lin Yi helplessly and threw a token to him.

"Okay, Iron Hand, come with me to move the materials. I may not be able to move them alone." Lin Yi's face was full of excitement, and he turned around to greet Su Xiao.

After hearing Lin Yi's words, Lidya Su could no longer hold back her emotions.

He forced himself to keep a straight face and looked at the old king.

The old king opened his eyes and glanced at Su Xiao. The meaning in his eyes was very clear: just follow this guy.

In this way, Su Xiao and Lin Yi successfully left the Kingdom Council Hall and came to the vicinity of the Royal Secret Library.

Here, Lin Yi and Su Xiao saw more than a dozen holy warriors leading a patrol. The sky was blocked directly with an alchemical array, and not even a bird could get close.

"Token." After Lin Yi and Su Xiao approached, several holy warriors blocked their way.

Although they recognized the identities of Lin Yi and Su Xiao, they still had to go through the process.

After all, the royal secret treasury is of great importance and cannot be sloppy in the slightest.

Lin Yi took out the token thrown to him by the old king from his pocket. After several holy warriors carefully checked and confirmed that there was no problem with the token, they made way.

Entering the secret vault, Lin Yi and Su Xiao saw a large number of rare alchemical materials.

While carefully identifying the medicinal materials in front of him, Lidya Su gently rubbed his slightly stiff cheeks.

What he hated most was pretending to be a spy. He had to be very careful in everything he said and did, or his identity would be exposed if he wasn't careful.

But the power of the Iron Hand is too high. Without the power of the Iron Hand, Su Xiao would not be able to know so many secrets about the royal family.

This made him feel helpless, but he had to admit the convenience brought by this power.

In just ten minutes, all the precious medicinal materials in the warehouse were divided up by the two of them.

"Aren't you going to take anything else?"

"Taking too much can lead to trouble."

He did not take all the medicinal herbs here, but only cleared out some rare ones.

In this way, outsiders will not suspect anything when they see it. After all, Lin Yi's identity determines that he likes these rare medicinal materials the most.

"Speaking of which, the one who has the greatest impact on Rowan Harvey's treason this time is probably the eldest prince."

"Well, if he is a smart man, he will choose to quit on his own."

Su Xiao agreed with Lin Yi's statement. The most embarrassing thing about the eldest prince was that he used to have a very good relationship with Rowan Harvey. Even his financial skills were taught by Rowan Harvey.

In such a situation, the eldest prince must avoid suspicion.

There's no way, who made the eldest prince so close to Rowan Harvey?

If Rowan Harvey had not gotten into trouble, the eldest prince would have been able to prosper with the help of Rowan Harvey's powerful influence.

Now that Rowan Harvey is in trouble, the eldest prince will naturally have to bear the corresponding consequences.

On the other hand, just as Su Xiao and Lin Yi had guessed, the eldest prince gritted his teeth and made a decision, choosing to withdraw from the competition for the throne and instead devote himself to the operation of investigating the kingdom's financial problems.

This move did not surprise anyone, including the old king.

The current eldest prince does not have enough capital to continue to gain a foothold in this fierce competition for the throne.

However, what other competitors never expected was that the third prince also chose to withdraw from the competition.

The excuse he gave was that he wanted to guard the border to prevent the Undead from taking advantage of the opportunity to attack.

If the Kingdom of Saint Soudin is likened to a magnificent pyramid, then the top of the pyramid is undoubtedly the supreme royal power.

The next level is military power, finance and governance, and the next level is the various institutions branching out from these three.

These three are like solid pillars, jointly supporting the royal power.

If there is a problem in any link, the royal power may be in danger of direct collapse.

"Don't you two regret it?"

"No regrets." The eldest prince and the third prince answered in unison. Don't think that the two of them will become brothers because of this. Even now, they still dislike each other.

"Okay, so be it."

The old king stood up and slowly walked out of the meeting room. (End of this chapter)

619.

The fight for power has just begun and it is unavoidable that the two favorites have lost their qualifications.

The Seventh Prince had a helpless look on his face, he actually wanted to do something just now, but there were only two things he was best at, one was fighting strong enemies, the other was flirting with girls, and then hehehe, he could be called the little prince with iron kidneys.

To be honest, among all the people present, the Seventh Prince was the only one who had no desire for the throne.

If the Seventh Prince was another noble heir or an ordinary commoner, the situation might be better.

In that case, at least the Seventh Prince would not have to fight against his brothers and sisters.

But the problem now is that even if the Seventh Prince himself does not take any action, the other Crown Princes will regard him as a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh.

There is really no way. The reputation of the Seventh Prince among the Holy Warriors is really astonishingly high.

In the Kingdom of Saint Sodin, the high-end combat power against the Undead relies entirely on the Holy Warriors.

Although there are technical masters like Lin Yi and Su Xiao, the growth of technical masters requires time.

Moreover, many people who choose to pursue the technical path do not have enough talent, so a large number of people are screened out.

The seventh prince had wanted to stand up like the other two princes and tell the old king that he would lead the army of holy warriors to the front line.

After careful consideration, the seventh prince finally gave up the idea.

If he really gathered the holy warriors scattered in various war zones, the old king would definitely not be able to sleep at night.

Because such an action is by no means helping the kingdom overcome the crisis, but rather seems like a rebellion.

Among all the princes and princesses, the seventh prince undoubtedly posed the greatest threat to the old king.

Not to mention his own extraordinary combat power, his title of "Wings of the Kingdom" alone is enough to fully demonstrate his prestige among the holy warriors.

The title of "Wings of the Kingdom" was not bestowed on the seventh prince by the old king himself, but after a major event, more than 70% of the holy warriors made a strong request to the royal family.

In that case, it was no longer a question of whether the old king was willing or not, but a necessity to confer the title.

After this incident, the seventh prince realized that he had to stand out in this fight for the throne.

Otherwise, once someone else wins in this fierce battle, he will definitely be liquidated.

There is no need for anyone else to tell the Seventh Prince this. The political experience he has accumulated since childhood is enough to make him clearly aware of this cruel reality.

However, although the Seventh Prince is a Buddhist by nature, everyone present now really hopes that the Seventh Prince will stay in the royal capital.

The reason is very simple. The Seventh Prince is the most powerful holy warrior in the entire kingdom, unique among them.
