Chapter 150 Message from the Messenger
Hearing the prompt for a message request, Lei Xiao, who was walking on the street in confusion, signaled to his subordinates, turned into a deserted alley next to him, and started the call directly.
Immediately afterwards, Lin's sharp and capable voice came over: "Lord Qi, as you mentioned before, there is news about the visit of an envoy from the Leng Yan royal family."
"Oh?" While being curious, Lei Xiao waved his hands to signal his subordinates to disperse and be alert, and asked, "Tell me more about it."
"Lord, the most important thing about the envoy sent by the Lengyan royal family is that the identity of the envoy is somewhat special."
After a moment of pause, Lin's somewhat disbelieving voice came over: "The messenger is the fifth princess of the Lengyan royal family, Princess Ariel."
"A member of the royal family?"
After listening to Lin's report, Lei Xiao couldn't help but be a little surprised and said: "Why would the other party send a princess to us as an envoy?"
"Back to the lord, my subordinates guess that it is because of the battle for the throne that is taking place in the capital."
Lin's rustling voice came over again: "Currently, several princes of the Lengyan royal family are fighting among themselves."
Taking a deep breath, Lin continued: "As far as my subordinates know, although Princess Ariel, as the fifth princess, has almost negligible power compared to the other older princes, after all, she is Has the right to inherit the throne.”
"Lin, what do you mean is that Ariel was afraid that she would be killed by a certain prince, so she volunteered to go to Kongqing Town as an envoy?"
After pondering for a moment, Lei Xiao, who was leaning against the wall of the alley, spoke.
"Return to the lord, the possibility is very high."
Lin Sa's voice reached Lei Xiao's ears again: "Lord, I think there may be another possibility, that is, several princes want to use our hands to get rid of this princess. .”
After a pause, Lin added: "After all, Princess Ariel has a good reputation and popularity in the royal capital. If something unexpected happens, I'm afraid the murderer will not get support."
"That's it."
Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully and said thoughtfully: "So, the Lengyan royal family should already know that Kongqing Town was occupied by me as an alien lord, right?"
"Back to the lord, my subordinates believe that the other party has not yet been determined."
On the other end of the conversation, Lin's voice suddenly sounded: "Since the arrival of the lord has not been long ago, this directly led to the vast majority of nobles and people in power not believing that a lord from another world would have the ability. Such powerful energy.”
"Therefore, many people believe that maybe someone occupied Kongqing Town in the name of an alien lord in order to achieve a certain purpose."
Lin continued without hesitation: "Even the order given to me by the Phytolacca family is to continue to control the trade fair and secretly collect useful intelligence."
"Very good. Letting the other party not know our details is the best thing for us."
A faint smile began to appear on Lei Xiao's face: "Coupled with the tense war with Sheng Ye on the border and the battle for the throne in the royal capital, it can be seen that, at least at this stage, our situation is , still very optimistic.”
"Your lord is wise."
Lin's respectful voice came over again: "According to the Lord's instructions, Uncle Fang Hai and I wore illusion cloaks every time we acted. The City Lord's Mansion and several surrounding streets have also been selected by the public. The elite soldiers are blocking the city. Even if a spy sneaks into the city, no information will be obtained in a short period of time. "
"Thank you for your hard work."
Lei Xiao thought for a moment and asked again: "By the way, what are the recent trends in our surrounding forces?"
"Back to Lord Lord, due to the recent defeat of the Lengyan Army on the border, the power of quite a few city lords has been weakened to some extent. Moreover, the Lengyan royal family has restarted its attack on some more powerful city lords. A new round of war call was issued.”
Lin's clear voice came over quickly: "So, the surrounding city lords, while the current situation is still unclear, maintain a wait-and-see attitude towards us, and they should not make any other hostile moves."
"The analysis is very good. It seems that unless we take action first, the current balance of the Cold Flame Kingdom should not be broken."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
If this is the case, then the next step should naturally be to prepare to deal with another threat of one's own.
Bringing his thoughts back to reality, Lei Xiao asked again: "Lin, regarding the arrival date of the fifth princess Leng Yan, can you confirm now?"
"Back to Lord, it's still not certain."
Lin's clean voice immediately sounded: "If there is any news, my subordinates will inform the lord as soon as possible."
"Very good, we can return to Kongqing Town this afternoon. By then, I will bring you and Fang Hai a lot of surprises."
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao immediately stopped talking.
Next, the group of people, who once again wore illusion cloaks, went to the Phytolacca Trade Fair in Gelin City, and in the name of Faxia, transferred a total of 2 million golden dragons to her parents.
Immediately afterwards, he changed his appearance, and as a mysterious person, sold a corresponding number of third-level weapons, exchanged them for 1 million golden dragons, and applied for a VIP black card again.
At this point, Lei Xiao still has more than 2 million golden dragons left on his body.
After all this was completed, seeing that there was still some time left before noon, Lei Xiao took all his subordinates and simply returned to Maia's tavern.
"Hahaha, Your Excellency, you are back."
As soon as he entered the door, Maiya's heroic laughter came over him immediately.
Looking at the burly and bold man in front of him, Lei Xiao couldn't help but recall what Fang Hai said when he introduced Maiya.
"Lord, Maia is an upright person. Although he is a tavern owner, he has always drank moderately and is very principled. Moreover, he saved the lives of his subordinates many times on the battlefield."
"At that time, if Maia hadn't insisted on giving up a magical potion that he got by chance to his subordinates, I'm afraid that the third-level strong man now would not be his subordinates."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao first motioned to the Japanese knotweed beside him to close the door.
Then, he smiled at the big man in front of him and said, "Maiya, let me ask you a question."
Looking at Lei Xiao's strange behavior, Maiya couldn't help scratching his head and said doubtfully: "You may ask, but I will definitely tell you everything I know."
I saw the smile on Lei Xiao's face getting thicker, and he slowly said: "Do you want to become a third-level powerhouse?"
Hearing Lei Xiao's words, Maiya, who had been at the peak of the second level for more than ten years, was stunned. He suddenly showed an expression of disbelief and looked at Lei Xiao with a shocked face. (End of chapter)
