Chapter 31 You…His Majesty’s new favorite?
These people's faces twitched and they were dissatisfied, but what the young man said made sense. They were discovered on the spot and avoided his sight in embarrassment.
One of the two men on the ground raised his head again and looked up and down: "Did you change your clothes?"
"Yes." Tu Xing picked up the big package on the ground and took two steps forward.
"This outfit is easy to recognize. I found a few changes of clothes. Change into them first."
The man remained silent, his tone clearly questioning how someone could change clothes in such a short time. Did they have an accomplice? Was this a premeditated plan?
But the young man actually brought clothes for the three of them, so he couldn't express his suspicion.
If he was able to improvise and escape on his own, and still be unharmed, then this person is really very powerful.
The two burly men squatting on the ground lowered their heads and exchanged glances.
The man who was caught making slanderous remarks at the scene was obviously the most embarrassed one, and he was still ambivalent:
"This is the uniform for the palace guards. Outsiders fight tooth and nail to be selected. After going through physical fitness and endurance tests, competitions, and other rounds of screening, it's a huge honor."
"Now you have to change it for this? To avoid being recognized by the untouchables?"
"Are we afraid of these untouchables?" At the end, he spat and looked unconvinced.
Tu Xing looked at him indifferently, then at the other two, "If you want to change, then change. If you don't want to change, then leave it as it is. Find His Majesty before dark."
After saying that, he glanced to the side and still had to find out the whereabouts himself.
…
Five or six minutes later, the young man walked in front, and the two men who had changed into casual clothes followed behind.
The one farthest away at the end was still wearing a guard's uniform and was limping.
Tu Xing found that the last two chapters had become longer.
"My name is Zhai Ka. I entered the palace five years ago and barely became a mid-level guard. I was a bit stronger than others, but I could make a living and never found a chance to move up."
"You are... His Majesty's new favorite, right?"
Hearing the question, Tu Xing glanced back at him and said, "It's a very special name, I guess."
Zhaka scratched his head in a naive manner. "The last person who spoke ill of you was named Mammon. He knew Evander and was a bit bigger, so overall he was a bit taller than both of us."
"Evander, do you have any impression?"
"Although we claim to be His Majesty's personal guards in front of outsiders, there are actually only ten of us. The majority are ordinary guards scattered throughout the palace."
"Since the uniforms are similar, only the ID cards are different, it's not easy for outsiders to tell them apart."
Hearing this, Tu Xing pointed at the sign on his waist and said, "You mean the sign with a brighter body and dark gold lines on the edge."
Zhai Ka lowered his head and stared at it for two seconds. "Yes, yes, you see, the difference is so small - I just noticed your brand now..."
He said mid-sentence, his eyes widening. "No, there are only ten guards. I haven't heard of any being replaced?!"
Tu Xing lowered his eyes and watched, "No one has replaced it. This is a new position created this morning. It's just a guard position. His Majesty can decide with just one word."
After hearing these words, Zhai Ka's eyes deepened with respect, "Yes, yes, yes."
Tu Xing was thinking: Evander always talks about regicide, and Zhai Ka, who he knows, is like this too. They are really birds of a feather. If these two get together again, it will probably be a bit difficult to deal with them.
After a moment of silence, another person interrupted, "My name is Ye Qide, similar to Zhai Ka."
"We have some friendship and occasionally help each other. As soon as we heard the order from His Majesty, we formed a group and came here actively."
Tu Xing nodded at them, and then came to his senses, realizing that he had two more followers.
They walked and stopped here and there to get information. This time, it was mainly two burly men who came forward. Because they were burly enough, they were very good at giving directions to people they asked.
After half an hour, the intersection at the end of the road ahead suddenly became crowded with people, almost like a sea of people.
Tu Xing stopped and gestured to the side, "Let's find a restaurant with a higher floor so we can see what's going on."
"Okay." Zhai Ka responded, and someone's stomach made a thundering sound in response.
The two people behind looked at each other awkwardly, then looked up to find a suitable place.
Seven or eight minutes later, the three of them were standing in front of the window of a gourmet restaurant on the fourth floor near the crowd.
Zhai Ka was filled with surprise. "Wow, this is really strange. They're actually negotiating?!"
"Normally, the fighting would have started long ago. We could kill all the troublemakers in two days, and spend the rest of the time catching those who escaped and hid throughout the town."
Tu Xing blinked. The two negotiating parties were about a hundred meters away from here. The crowd below was whispering and holding flags and cheering.
Unless you shout excitedly, you can't hear what the negotiating party is saying at all.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to see the figures clearly. In the front of the palace was a man wearing a dark green cardigan robe, with short black hair and beard.
Tu Xing thought of something and took out the character album given by Amina from his bag.
Ye Qide from the rear said at this time: "Waji Xia, a high-ranking minister, is in charge of this large area. I didn't expect him to come forward to negotiate."
Tu Xing found the corresponding portrait based on the name.
A middle-aged man with a handsome and elegant air, with words written next to him.
"Waji, the newly appointed Minister of Western Affairs for two years, has presented His Majesty with hundreds of beautiful women. Rumor has it that this is the reason for his rapid promotion."
"Countless people have tried to emulate it, but the Sultan's harem is already saturated, making it impossible to replicate."
The young man's eyes were mainly focused on the "hundreds of beauties". After a moment's thought, he closed the book and put it in his bag when two people from behind him peeked over.
"Go find out the reason for the protest and what the progress is."
The two burly men looked at each other and communicated, and soon one of them left and went downstairs.
As the passage passed by, I saw a large figure standing with legs spread out, blocking the entire aisle.
Ye Qide hesitated, "Mammon..."
Inside the room, the young man kept looking at the center of the crowd. He didn't see the Sultan or Celilda. It was all the people below negotiating.
The tension lasted for a long time, until at one point, someone in the audience shouted loudly, "Kill the Sultan! Kill the cruel tyrant!"
This shout was followed by three or four quieter shouts, and the raised flags, red with black characters, swayed and waved.
Tu Xing raised his eyebrows and the crowd moved!
The crowded crowd moved forward, and soon, a shrill scream suddenly rang out:
"Murder! The tyrant has killed again! As long as we overthrow him, we can start a new life!"
Tu Xing moved his eyes and locked onto the place where the fight was most likely to take place.
If this person was injured, he should have been lying down. Everyone in the crowd was standing, so it would be difficult to find him normally.
But in reverse, Tu Xing began to look for an empty space.
The next moment, two teams of mounted soldiers appeared on the left and right, holding long swords in their hands.
Overcoming the crowd's shouts, he said, "Your Majesty has ordered that the rioters be suppressed within three hours! If anyone is left out, we will chop off the heads starting with the least number of heads, and chop off as many as are missing!"
