Chapter 256 Hall Talk (Part 2)
"Real purpose?"
Princess Ariel blinked her clear starry eyes and replied with a matter-of-fact expression: "Of course I am here on a mission for the Lengyan royal family where I am."
After a pause, Ariel added solemnly: "If you are willing to replace the previous city lord, swear allegiance to the royal family, continue to pay taxes to the royal capital, and perform relevant obligations during wartime.
Then, on behalf of the Lengyan royal family, I will appoint you as the new city lord of Kongqing Town and give you all the powers as the city lord! ”
"That's it."
After hearing Ariel's words, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows.
Everything the other party said was obviously exactly what he had expected when he occupied Kongqing Town before.
The Lengyan royal family is facing a battle for royal power internally and a border war externally.
Obviously he doesn't want to spend more energy and focus on Kongqing Town, a little-known remote town like this.
As long as he promises to be loyal to the Lengyan royal family, he will not continue to expand his sphere of influence.
At least until the other party frees up its hands to concentrate on dealing with itself, Kongqing Town will be in a relatively safe state.
But correspondingly, once the other party completely resolves all internal and external troubles.
At that time, he will undoubtedly be caught off guard when the Leng Yan army comes to the city, and then suffer disaster.
After all, after he killed the former city lord who was protected by Leng Yan, he challenged the authority of the entire Leng Yan royal family.
In order to regain face, the other party will definitely wait for an opportunity to retaliate against itself and completely remove Kongqing Town from the map.
As for the so-called oath of allegiance, it is just a delaying tactic to confuse myself.
"I have discussed the above ideas in detail with Fang Hai, Guan Zhong, Lin, Xue Ya, Faxia, who are also Leng Yan nobles, and Kawatani who are very familiar with the Leng Yan Kingdom. The answer was surprisingly unanimous in the affirmative.”
"So, naturally I will not stop here and fall into the other party's trap."
"If you want to play tricks with the Daxia people who have a splendid history, these aborigines from other worlds are still a little immature."
Lei Xiao raised the porcelain cup and took a sip of the fragrant tea handed over by the maid while continuing to think.
At this stage, it is absolutely certain that the Lengyan royal family, who are too busy taking care of themselves, have no plans to take action against themselves.
And he can just take advantage of the opponent's delaying strategy and take advantage of it.
On the surface, you pretend to agree to the other party, letting the other party relax their vigilance, and secretly continue to rapidly expand their territory.
"As the saying goes, taking advantage of your illness to kill you, it is naturally impossible for me to kill you."
"No matter who you are, all you will get in the end is to get burned."
Lei Xiao put down the porcelain cup, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
Now that the purpose of the mission is very clear.
Then, naturally, it is Princess Ariel’s turn to come here for her true purpose.
Although what she just said was righteous and stern, her face was still obviously a bit unnatural.
It seems that the other party is not a person who is good at pretending.
As long as you use a little trick, everything will be revealed soon.
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao turned sideways and said to Ariel without hesitation: "I agree. Kongqing Town is willing to return to the rule of the Leng Yan royal family."
"By the way, after attending the welcome banquet I prepared for you in a while, you can go back and resume your life this afternoon."
Lei Xiao showed a harmless smile and said leisurely: "It's just right for the welcome banquet and the farewell banquet, so they can be merged together."
"Ah?" Hearing this, Princess Ariel blinked again, her big eyes almost comparable to Chaoyan's, full of doubts.
The giant ax general Bert and the holy light general Ju Bai, who were at the bottom, also began to look at each other in confusion.
This young city lord, who had looked down upon the Lengyan royal family just now, is now willing to surrender so easily?
The huge contrast between before and after seems a bit too difficult to understand.
What kind of medicine is this guy selling in his gourd?
"You want me to leave in the afternoon?"
Although Ariel still maintained a touch of grace on her delicate cheeks, her words were obviously unnatural, and she immediately said: "Even if you agree immediately, we still have to go through the corresponding procedures, such as signing various paper documents. The contract will take a week anyway, no, it will take at least half a month!”
"It's just a contract, does it take so long?"
Looking at the vague panic on the other side, Lei Xiao still maintained a faint smile and said playfully: "It doesn't matter, just keep the corresponding official."
"Furthermore, my dear Fifth Princess, as a distinguished member of the royal family, you must take care of everything for the Lengyan royal family. How can I, a small Kongqing town, dare to delay you for such a long time?"
< br>
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and said leisurely: "So, please leave this afternoon."
"If you ask me to leave, I will leave immediately. Wouldn't it be very shameful?"
While playing with the elegant silver pendant on her chest, Ariel said arrogantly: "Originally, I wanted to leave as soon as possible, but after hearing what you said, I have to stay here for a few more days!"
< br>
Looking at Ariel's arrogant look, Lei Xiao couldn't help but curl his lips.
She is worthy of being the fifth princess of Leng Yan. Her level of messiness is much higher than that of ordinary people.
Thinking of this with some helplessness in his heart, Lei Xiao did not continue to argue with him, and said coldly in an unquestionable tone: "In short, if there is no other reason, all of you present this afternoon must leave Kongqing Town immediately. ! ”
"This..."
Hearing the sound, not only Princess Ariel next to Lei Xiao, but also the old General Bert and the orange-white female general at the bottom couldn't help but look at me again.
In the past, every time a royal mission was sent out, the city lords from all over the country wished they could stay with the mission for a few more days, eating, drinking, having fun and sightseeing.
Take the opportunity to establish good relations with these officials in the royal capital to prepare for emergencies.
But the young man in front of him obviously didn't follow the routine.
It is simply unheard of to say that the welcome banquet and farewell banquet are combined together!
"You...what do you want?"
While feeling indignant, Princess Ariel took a deep breath and said angrily: "What if I just don't want to leave and want to stay here for a while?"
"That's not impossible."
Seeing that the time had come, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said, "It's still the same question as before. My dear Fifth Princess, please tell me your true purpose of coming here." (End of Chapter)
