Chapter 257 Hall Talk (Part 2)
After listening to Lei Xiao's words, Bert and Jubai, who were in the next position, both had expressions of sudden realization.
It turned out that the reason why this young man's attitude changed so quickly was that he had already dug a hole here.
From this, it is not difficult to see that the other party has obviously noticed something.
It has even been predicted that Her Royal Highness Princess Ariel's living environment in the royal capital will become increasingly severe.
Thinking of this, the two of them sighed in unison.
The new city lord of Kongqing Town is undoubtedly much more difficult to deal with than imagined.
But according to rumors, the other party is just an alien lord who has arrived not long ago, so the news should be very closed.
Why do you know so much about the current affairs in the Cold Flame Kingdom? It's simply unbelievable.
"Didn't I, the princess, just say it once? Since... I am naturally here on a mission for the Leng Yan royal family where I am."
Ariel still had a normal expression, pretending to be calm and composed.
However, judging from the fact that the hand holding the delicate pendant on his chest was almost completely white due to exertion.
In her heart, she was obviously not as calm as she appeared on the surface.
Keenly aware of this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, put on a decisive expression, and said calmly: "Well, if that's the case, then I will have to send people to force everyone back to the capital."< br>
"Wait...wait a minute!"
Princess Ariel finally couldn't bear it any longer and hurriedly said: "I suddenly remembered that there is actually another thing we have to do when we come here."
"Want to hear the details."
Lei Xiao slowly raised his hand, indicating to the other party to continue speaking.
Ariel took a deep breath and continued with a solemn expression: "You must have heard about it, right?"
"Recently, several of my brothers have been more active in the royal capital. They even often greet each other with weapons, making the entire royal capital a bit lively."
"And my father, due to his old age and serious illness, is unable to take care of his brothers."
Having said this, Princess Ariel held up the brilliant princess crown on her head, her face looking a little gloomy.
However, this cowardly expression was fleeting, and in just a moment, a touch of grace and elegance appeared on her delicate cheeks again.
After returning to normal, Ariel cleared her throat and continued: "In short, this princess is a quiet person and doesn't want to stay in a place where fighting and killing are happening every day. It's just the right time to go on a mission. Take the opportunity to come out and relax.”
After listening to the other party's words, Lei Xiao raised the porcelain cup and took a sip of the fragrant tea newly added by the maid.
Although judging from Ariel's understatement, it seems that there is not that much chaos in the capital of Lengyan King.
But it was not difficult to tell from the panic expression on the other party's face just now that he did not want to return to the royal capital.
The matter is obviously much more serious than what the other party said.
After all, the other party is a member of Leng Yan's royal family, so he is naturally more rigorous in wording than others.
"If my prediction is correct, the fight for the throne in the capital of Leng Yan should have entered a fierce stage now, and it has even threatened Ariel's own life."
Gently putting down the tea cup in his hand, Lei Xiao glanced at Ariel who was pretending to be calm while continuing to think.
"As for why the other party chose to come to Kongqing Town, it's actually easy to understand."
"This is a remote small town, thousands of miles away from the royal capital. Even if the royal capital suddenly attacks, there will be relatively sufficient time to react and prepare."
"Secondly, my identity is that I am a lord from another world who has just arrived. I am undoubtedly the only one among all Lengyan City Lords who can confirm that I have not joined any prince's camp."
Lei Xiao tapped the metal armrest on the throne with his fingers and glanced at Ariel again.
"As the fifth princess of Leng Yan, by choosing to come to Kongqing Town, it is obvious that she can ensure to the maximum extent that she will not be plotted by the city lord who secretly joins a certain prince's camp."
"After all, the only ones who want her to disappear are these princes who also have the right to inherit the throne."
"The above two conditions, coupled with the opportunity to go to Kongqing Town as an envoy, make Leng Yan's fifth princess naturally not to miss it easily."
"It seems that this should be the other party's real motive for coming here."
I saw the corners of Lei Xiao's mouth rising a little.
Although the other party's little calculation is crackling.
But just as I thought before, for me, this is obviously a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Not only can we further obtain a large amount of information about the Lengyan Royal Family, but it is not impossible to quickly control the entire Lengyan Kingdom with the help of Ariel.
Thinking of this, while throbbing, Lei Xiao's eyes glanced back and forth at the people at the bottom, and a touch of solemnity appeared on his face.
However, correspondingly, if Princess Ariel stays here for too long, she will definitely attract the attention of other princes.
We cannot even rule out the possibility of these people sending a large number of spies and killers into the city to collect intelligence and carry out assassinations.
At that time, Kongqing Town will naturally become the target of the princes and subordinate forces.
Therefore, you must develop enough to fight against it before that moment arrives, so that you can better deal with crises such as this.
"Perhaps this is the so-called coexistence of opportunities and challenges. By then, I believe many interesting things will happen."
Bringing his thoughts back to reality, Lei Xiao played with the tea cup in his hand and said to Ariel: "Since your dear fifth princess, Her Royal Highness, has informed her of her true purpose, then we can be considered to be on the same page. People on board.”
Nodding to Ariel and others, Lei Xiao continued: "Please move on, everyone. I will ask the maid to take you to your respective rooms. When the banquet starts, I will send someone to inform you."
Hearing this, Princess Ariel and the two kingdom generals once again looked puzzled.
The other party has made such a big circle and is it over?
Don't you want to ask about other things?
I have to say that the young new city lord in front of me is really difficult to figure out.
In confusion, Princess Ariel and her party, led by several maids, began to walk upstairs to the city lord's mansion.
When the princess and others all left inexplicably, only Lei Xiao and his subordinates were left in the hall.
Lei Xiao was seen rubbing his chin while sinking into thought again.
In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, next, I will make some arrangements before further obtaining other information from Ariel. (End of chapter)
