Chapter 367 Orange’s Past


Chapter 367 Jubai’s Past

It didn't take long before Carol, still dressed in armor, was led by Ed and reappeared in front of Lei Xiao.

When the female garrison captain of Shuiyue City saw Lei Xiao sitting on the throne, she quickly bowed and saluted, her expression more respectful than before and said: "See you, sir!"
< br>

Looking up at the towering Lei Xiao, Carol understood clearly in her heart.

Being able to ask the Lord of the City to give up his seat, the status of this young big shot is naturally self-evident.

And when she was in the barrier area, the powerful energy displayed by this big man left an extremely deep impression on her, which can only be described as terrifying!

"Captain Carol, there is no need to be polite."

Raising his hand to signal the other party to stand up, Lei Xiao picked up the white porcelain cup next to him, first took a sip of the fragrant tea that Faxia had just brewed, and then said: "I heard that you once served under the Holy Light General Ju Bai. Regarding this How much do you know about the general of the kingdom?”

"Back to my lord, when General Jubai first became a captain, the villain was already under her command."

Carol lowered her head again and responded without reservation: "Over the years, we have fought together from the Fortress in the far north of the Cold Flame Kingdom, to the rainforest fortress in the far south, and then to the border with the Kingdom of Holy Night in the east. On the battlefield, we have experienced nearly a hundred battles, large and small.”

"It wasn't until General Jubai returned to the royal capital and was named the general of the kingdom that he was forced to separate."

Having said this, Carol shook her head helplessly and added: "Because the high-ranking dignitaries in the capital obviously don't want a general of the kingdom to have too many cronies around him, as that will undoubtedly threaten the Their power.”

"That's it."

Lei Xiao gently put down the tea cup in his hand, rested his chin on one hand, and continued to listen.

"Sir, since General Orange and White is just the adopted daughter of an earl family, she was originally a commoner. Later, she was given the title of aristocrat due to her outstanding military achievements. She belongs to Leng Yan's new aristocracy."

Carol still bowed her head and saluted, and then introduced: "So, I have never been well received by other kingdom generals with orthodox noble blood, as well as the dignitaries of the royal capital, and of course, let alone trust, This is also an important reason why the villain was forced to leave the capital.”

"Understood."

Lei Xiao looked thoughtful while staring at the steaming tea cup next to him.

Judging from the information he currently has, the origin of Holy Light General Ju Bai is undoubtedly similar to the previous situation of Giant Ax General Burt, both of whom are unwelcome in the capital.

No wonder these two people would eventually choose to follow the weakest Princess Ariel, or it is still unclear whether only Ariel would truly accept them.

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Captain Carol, what else do you know about the other situations of General Holy Light Ju Bai?"

"Sir, as far as I know, General Jubai has an enemy in the Cold Flame Kingdom. However, due to various reasons, General Jubai has been unable to kill this enemy."

Carol's sultry face was full of solemnity as she continued to respond.

"Oh? Is there such a thing?"

A curious expression suddenly appeared on Lei Xiao's face, and he motioned for Carol to continue.

"Sir, this matter must start with the life experience of General Jubai."

Carol took a deep breath and said: "As the villain said just now, General Orange and White was originally an orphan who grew up in the monastery of Red Arrow Town."

"Later, she was fortunate enough to be adopted by the family of the city lord of Red Arrow Town who had no children, and then she officially became the adopted daughter of the Earl's family, and then received the family's vigorous cultivation."

"However, although the city lord of Red Arrow Town belongs to the Earl family of the Cold Flame Kingdom, the family has long since declined. In addition, the land of Red Arrow Town itself is barren, and it is just a little-known fishing town."


Carol lowered her eyebrows and continued: "Therefore, whether it is financial resources or strength, compared with other noble territories, it is undoubtedly pitiful. However, General Orange and White's own cultivation talent is extremely outstanding. It can be said that It was famous in Chijian Town at that time. ”

"It turns out that Ju Bai's origin was in Red Arrow Town?"

After hearing what Carol said, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

I once knew some information about Red Arrow Town.

This town is located in the southeast of Mailan Town and directly south of the ancient battlefield ruins. It is a small town built on the river.

The river next to the town is the downstream of the rapid river between his territory in the forest and Kongqing Town.

Therefore, the location of this small town is not very far from its own territory.

Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.

Seeing Carol's eyes darkening, she added: "However, even though it is such a small town that is not rich, it is still coveted by people with ulterior motives. In the end, the residents of Red Arrow Town and the adoptive parents of General Orange and White, It caused a fatal disaster.”

"Captain Carol, are you referring to the bandit robbery five years ago?"

After pondering for a moment, Lei Xiao suddenly showed a look of enlightenment.

Before this, Lei Xiao had heard Xuan Yue from Mailan Town mention it.

Five years ago, Red Arrow Town, about three days' carriage ride away from Mailan Town, suffered a large-scale robbery by bandits.

As a result, all the garrison forces including the city lord and his family were wiped out, until the Lengyan royal family re-divided the town into the jurisdiction of other nobles.

As for the specific situation at that time, Xuan Yue did not know.

After all, the two cities were separated by the ruins of an ancient battlefield surrounded by mountains. By the time Mailan Town got the news, the other party had already fled.

The incident five years ago indeed caused a sensation in the surrounding area.

"Sir, in fact, the robbery five years ago was not carried out by bandits, but by a group of professional soldiers."

Carol took a deep breath first, and then said: "Back then, after learning the news, he was shocked. General Orange and White, who was still the captain, immediately took a few of our cronies back to the country. Red Arrow Town investigates..."

Through Carol's further description, Lei Xiao learned.

At first, after questioning the residents in the town, Jubai and his party learned that the group of sudden attackers were indeed dressed as ordinary bandits.

However, after these people broke through the city gate, they rushed directly to the city lord's mansion, and their goal seemed very clear.

This immediately aroused the suspicion of Ju Bai and Carol.

After all, compared to the most heavily guarded city lord's palace, the combined wealth of the few wealthy businessmen in the local area is definitely not a small amount. However, until the group of menacing bandits succeeded in leaving, they did not approach other mansions. step.

"That's it."

After listening to Carol's description, Lei Xiao nodded and said thoughtfully: "It seems that this so-called robbery is just an illusion."

"What you say is absolutely true."

Carol sighed softly again and continued: "After deducing that something was fishy, ​​we originally just had suspicions and no substantive evidence until we accidentally found a survivor in a resident's home. of wounded soldiers.”

"According to the wounded soldier who was still frightened, the bandits were not only powerful and ruthless, but also well-organized and had a complete command system. They were obviously not ordinary people."

Speaking of this with a gloomy look, Carol couldn't help but gritted her teeth and said: "What's more important is that during the fight, the wounded soldier also recognized a few so-called masked bandits, who were the elites of Songluo City next door. Soldier!”

"Songluo City?"

Looking at Carol's angry face, Lei Xiao once again showed a thoughtful expression.

Regarding Songluo City, I also heard Xuan Yue introduce it.

This large-scale city is located in the south of Red Arrow Town, already relatively close to the border between Leng Yan and Sheng Ye.

In the surrounding area, its strength can be said to be outstanding among the others.

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully: "So, those so-called bandits are actually the elite soldiers of Songluo City pretending to be?"

"My lord, that's exactly what it is,"

Nodding heavily, Carol Dai frowned and said: "After that, through a series of investigations, we learned that half a month before the attack, the Lord of Songluo City, Marquis Luoji, had an affair with Tachibana. General Bai’s adoptive father, the city lord of Red Arrow Town, has discussed the breeding of water-based monsters and monsters in the waters of Red Arrow Town.”

"The magic beads produced in the body of this kind of water-type magic beast are necessary materials for refining several first-level magic potions and are very valuable. However, the strength of this kind of magic beast after it becomes an adult is simply unfathomable to ordinary people. A peak level rival, and extremely violent and brutal.”

"So much so that in history, there have been many incidents of people breeding such ferocious monsters and reaping the consequences. Therefore, the orange and white city lord adoptive father will naturally not let such ferocious monsters appear in his city. .”

"Compared to a large amount of wealth, the orange-white city lord's adoptive father obviously cares more about the safety of the residents in the city."

Carol sighed again and continued: "But it is precisely because of this that the declining Earl family has faced a disaster."

"So, after getting rid of the troublesome orange-white adoptive father, the person who came to take over Red Arrow Town must be someone related to Marquis Rocky, or simply Marquis Rocky himself, right?"


Lei Xiao, who was sitting on the throne, nodded slightly and muttered: "Moreover, there must be a large number of dangerous magic bead monsters in Red Arrow Town now."

"What your Excellency said is correct."

Carol nodded sadly and said: "Currently, the jurisdiction of this city falls in the hands of the Marquis Rocky family, and Red Arrow Town has also become a The money tree in Marquis Rocky’s house.”

"Although a large number of residents of Red Arrow Town die because of this every year, all this will only become the talk and joke of these big shots after dinner."

After frowning and sighing again, Carol said: "In short, after a series of investigations, General Jubai and several of our cronies finally determined that this matter was done by Marquis Rocky.

This sanctimonious hypocrite not only completely slaughtered General Jubai's adoptive parents and family, but also burned down the monastery where General Jubai grew up, who fought with the city lord's mansion until the last moment. It was so spicy that General Jubai, who had already lost his first home, lost his second home again. ”

"I understand."

Lei Xiao frowned and thought for a moment, and then said: "If my prediction is correct, the reason why Ju Bai has not killed this enemy now must be that the power behind him must be huge, right?"


"Your Excellency is right again."

Carol nodded and responded: "The person standing behind Marquis Luoji is none other than His Royal Highness, the eldest prince of the Lengyan royal family!"

"Coupled with his own strength, he is also at the level of a fourth-level senior expert, almost on par with General Orange and White, and there are many experts around him."

"Therefore, although General Jubai clearly understands that this enemy is right in front of him, he still has no way to defeat him. He can only grit his teeth silently and hide everything in his heart."

"What's even more annoying is that under General Jubai's repeated questioning, this guy actually admitted what he had done in public, and then laughed loudly and left without any scruples..."

After speaking, Carol clenched her fist tightly, her sassy face full of anger.

"So that's it."

Lei Xiao pondered and nodded, then waved his hand and said: "Okay, let's stop here. Captain Carol, please go back and rest early."

"As you command, my lord."

Carol saluted Lei Xiao and Ed one after another, and then left sadly.

"I think I know what to do."

Looking at Carol's leaving figure, Lei Xiao, who had already made some plans in his mind, drank up the tea in his cup.

In a moment, only the main force and subordinates were left in the hall again.

Lei Xiao ordered Ed again to call the three elders of the Fuyue family over.

After a lot of beating and intimidation, the three elders, who looked frightened, left tremblingly.

Under Ed's guidance, Lei Xiao and his party ate some seafood meals with Shuiyue City characteristics in the castle's banquet hall, and then casually strolled around this charming tourist city.

Finally, he returned to the hall just now.

In the process, Lei Xiao also gave Faxia and Abing, who had not returned home for a long time, a few hours of leave to spend time with their families.

"Lord Ed, I will leave everything in Shuiyue City to you. If you need anything, please contact me in a timely manner."

Lei Xiao nodded to Ed, who was standing respectfully, and then waved to the other subordinates to gather around him.

"I obey! Lord, please rest assured!"

Ed quickly bowed and saluted with a respectful expression on his face.

"Okay, let's leave."

After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao's mind moved, and a cold-touch return crystal suddenly appeared on his palm.

Without hesitation, Lei Xiao directly crushed the cyan crystal stone he just took out.

The next second, the strange energy inside the crystal swept out instantly, completely covering Lei Xiao and his group.

As time passed, and under Ed's watch, the cyan light curtain around Lei Xiao and his group began to become thicker.

Without any warning, a white light flashed past, and Lei Xiao and others in front of Ed completely lost their trace in the hall. (End of chapter)
