"Two maid sisters, is this sister also your partner?"
A clear child's voice rang out, and when he saw that the person coming was Aling Abing, a small and thin figure with a ponytail, he first grinned happily, and then said doubtfully.
There is no doubt that this little girl is naturally Xinggui.
At this time, her dirty little face had been cleaned.
The tattered clothes on her body have been replaced by cotton and linen princess dresses popular among girls in Kongqing Town.
Even his cheeks, which were sallow due to malnutrition, had a little more color.
Having said that, Xing Gui is certainly not unfamiliar with A Ling and A Bing, whom he has met in Magnet Town during the day.
However, Xing Gui seems a little restrained towards this sister Xing Gui whom she has never met before.
"Little princess, what is your name?"
Looking at the little girl who was almost a replica of himself when he was a child, Xing Hui, as an adult, naturally saw the clues immediately.
She suppressed her inner excitement, slowly squatted down, and said with a smile on her face.
"My name is Xinggui, and I look forward to Xinggui coming home."
On the other side, Xinggui blinked his big innocent eyes and tilted his little head to think for a while.
Then he said: "If my sister were here, she would be as old as this maid sister I have never seen before."
"Xinggui, I am your sister..."
Hearing this, looking at his sister's sallow little face, Xing Hui's nose felt sore. He couldn't help it anymore, his voice gradually became choked, and he hugged the little girl in front of him tightly into his arms.
"You...are my sister?"
On the other side, after being stunned for a moment, feeling the warmth coming from Xinghui's body, the surprised expression on Xinghui's little face gradually became gentle and full of warmth.
As a little girl, she had never felt this kind of warmth.
At the same time, their father, who was leaning on a cane, also stumbled out quickly with the support of his mother.
At this point, this family, which had been separated for more than ten years and was almost torn apart, was reunited with his strong intervention.
…
Half an hour later, when Lei Xiao knocked on the door again, his group was greeted by faces filled with gratitude.
In this way, it didn't take long after being welcomed into the house.
In a study room that was completely closed by Japanese knotweed, only my group and Xing Hui were present.
A familiar prompt soon rang in Lei Xiao's ears.
[Congratulations, you are a third-level two-star sword dancer? I have signed a master-servant contract with you this month and have become your new subordinate! 】
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao helped the pretty maid in front of him up, and first opened the opponent's attribute bar.
[Name: Xinghui]
[Occupation: Sword Dancer]
[Level: Level 3, Two Stars]
[Loyalty: 100]
[Skill 1: Starburst Flash "Active" (physical single target attack)]
[Skill 2: Star Dance "Active" (increased movement speed)]
[Skill Three: One-Handed Sword Mastery "Passive" (When using a one-handed sword, the damage will be slightly increased)]
After closing the opponent's attribute bar, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
At this point, our goal of poaching Ariel today has been successfully completed.
Next, it was naturally time to learn more about the arrogant Princess Leng Yan.
"Xing Hui, there's no need to be polite, this is what happened..."
Looking at the delicate maid who still had a grateful expression in front of him, Lei Xiao did not hesitate and simply described to Xing Hui the information he had so far.
"Lord, just like what Qingshu, the deputy captain of the guard, said.
Under the instructions of several princes, many top powerful men have indeed attempted to assassinate Her Highness the Princess. This fact is naturally familiar to the subordinates who have always been serving the Princess."
On the other side, Xing Hui's eyes were blurred and he was lost in memories: "However, as a member of the Lengyan royal family with a strong foundation, Her Royal Highness has many hidden cards.
Once, even a fourth-level nine-star assassin-type expert was face to face.
It will not be able to cause any harm to the third-order nine-star princess until a large number of reinforcements arrive, which is what my subordinates have seen with their own eyes."
"Oh? You are looking down on her a bit." Hearing this, Lei Xiao, who was sitting behind the mahogany desk, raised his eyebrows slightly and murmured to himself.
It seems that the energy possessed by this arrogant Princess Lengyan is much stronger than one imagined.
Of course, the gap between the fourth-level nine-star powerhouse and the fifth-level powerhouse is still obvious. It is the gap between heaven and earth.
Otherwise, the other party will not immediately surrender when they meet for the first time. Moreover, our second fifth-level strongman, the half-elf ancestor Jiang Li, may return at any time.
In addition, our side has conquered Xing Hui and Qing Shu, and Nan Xing Nan Yue, who is wearing an invisibility cloak, has been following him.
Therefore, there is no need to worry. On the contrary, this reduces some of the pressure on one's own defense.
After all, Princess Ariel is the most important trump card of our side at this stage, so naturally we cannot let her be in danger.
"In addition, according to my subordinates' knowledge over the years, although Princess Ariel is arrogant and domineering, she is straightforward and has almost no scheming, which also led to the old king's sudden illness.
Compared to the other three princes, Her Royal Highness the Princess is in an extremely passive state." Immediately, Xing Hui pondered for a moment and then said.
"It seems that, just as I guessed at the time, this Ariel is really not a person who is good at pretending." Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
There is no doubt that this further ensures that the proud Princess Lengyan will not cause too much trouble to her side.
"Lord, as for the main purpose of Your Royal Highness coming to Kongqing Town, it is indeed to avoid the increasingly severe and dangerous environment in the royal capital."
Immediately afterwards, Xing Hui, who was wearing a black and white maid uniform, straightened her clothes, bowed again and said: "As the personal maid of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
My subordinates have heard Her Royal Highness the Princess and the two Kingdom Generals discussing the occupation of Kongqing Town many times.
It is said that when the news came back to the royal capital, almost no one among the pretentious and powerful people believed that an alien lord who had just arrived could occupy a city in the dignified Leng Yan Kingdom.
Therefore, most of the ministers and generals believed that it was only done by the enemies of the former Lord Kongqing City.
However, there is also a small group of cautious people who are skeptical about this and believe that no possibility can be ruled out.
However, under the dual pressure of the border war and the civil strife in the royal capital, the royal family was really unable to do anything. In addition, Kongqing Town was located in a remote location, making it insignificant to the Lengyan Kingdom.
Therefore, the decision was made to send an envoy to test, and Her Royal Highness the Princess seized this opportunity."
"It seems that now we can be completely sure of the main purpose of Ariel's trip." Lei Xiao nodded while tapping the wooden table with his fingers.
On the other side, Xing Hui bowed again and continued to speak knowingly: "By the way, Lord Lord.
Since Her Royal Highness often travels incognito to help ordinary people, her reputation in the royal capital and surrounding areas is also very good.
I believe this is the reason why those princes did not dare to do anything too blatantly."
"I have also heard about this matter." Lei Xiao nodded slightly, frowned slightly, and said: "Therefore, Lin and I discussed a possibility at that time.
That is, these princes probably want to use our help to get rid of Ariel, a thorn in his side.
In this way, their reputation will naturally be preserved.
Or to put it another way, the princess got rid of me, the lord of another world, which saved them a lot of trouble."
"What the lord said is absolutely true." Upon hearing this, Xing Hui's pretty face suddenly showed a look of enlightenment.
Then he said: "No wonder the princes didn't stop her when they heard that the princess was going on a mission. It must be for this reason."
At this time, Xing Hui raised his slender hand and pushed a strand of black hair behind his ear.
While continuing: "Although most people don't believe it, the rumors about alien lords occupying Kongqing Town do exist.
There is no doubt that all the powerful and powerful people clearly understand this.
Due to territorial conflicts, the relationship between the alien lords and them was absolutely hostile.
Therefore, Her Royal Highness's trip, no matter who gets rid of whom, is a very cost-effective thing for these princes.
When a certain prince takes over the power, no matter whether it is us or Her Royal Highness who wins in the end, it will naturally be time to settle the accounts."
Having said this, Xing Hui paused for a moment, then said with embarrassment on his pretty face: "I'll tell you the truth, Lord.
When they went to Kongqing Town this time, Her Royal Highness the Princess and the two kingdom generals originally planned to take us as guests and use it as a base to make plans, but they didn't expect..."
"But she didn't expect that the energy I possess is much greater than she imagined." Lei Xiao waved his hand slightly, and his frown relaxed, not caring at all.
This different world is originally a world where the weak eat the strong.
Lei Xiao understood this clearly from the beginning.
Therefore, this was naturally expected.
"It's just as the lord said." On the other side, Xinghui smiled sheepishly and continued: "When we were in the royal capital, there were a small number of cautious factions who suspected that this matter was the work of the lord from another world.
However, no one, including Her Royal Highness the Princess and several princes, thought that there would really be a fifth-level powerhouse here.
After all, the fifth-level powerhouses are already the ceiling of combat power in this land, and they are only few in number.
Furthermore, things like this have happened countless times in this land over the past hundreds of years.
Everyone knows that as long as a fifth-level powerhouse is claimed to be in charge, the enemy will not dare to act rashly."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and thought to himself: "I have to say that people in this world still know some art of war.
However, if you want to compete with me, a Daxia person with a long cultural heritage, you will undoubtedly be a lot more naive."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao smiled faintly and said, "I'm afraid that Ariel must have been lost for a long time, right?"
"Lord Hui, that's exactly what happened." Xing Hui nodded respectfully, shook his head helplessly, and responded: "The day we just arrived at Kongqing Town.
Although the princess did not show any signs of it during the banquet, at night, she was indeed feeling lost.
However, since the princess has always been very strong, the subordinates only noticed some clues through some clues."
"I understand." At this time, Lei Xiao couldn't help but look thoughtful again.
At this point, we have completely figured out the main purpose of Ariel and her group coming to Kongqing Town.
Moreover, since several princes plan to drive away tigers and devour wolves, the matter of fighting between the princess and themselves has been further determined.
At least for a short period of time, the opponent should just watch the fire from the other side and not send assassins again.
This undoubtedly provides us with sufficient development time.
"I'm afraid these princes would never dream that my ultimate goal is to conquer Ariel herself, right?
Otherwise, even if they are beaten to death, they will not send this proud little frost sheep to me."
At this time, Lei Xiao smiled slightly and continued to think: "Now that these problems have been solved, and we have confirmed with Xinghui and Qingshu, the purpose and intention of Ariel's trip.
Then naturally there is only one thing left."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao did not hesitate and stood up from the boss's chair behind the mahogany desk.
While walking slowly to the bookshelf next to him, he continued: "Xinghui, how much do you know about the "thing" that I just mentioned, that Ariel and the other two kingdom generals have been mentioning?"
"Back to the lord, this is the first time I heard Your Highness the Princess mention "that matter", and my subordinates are also very curious."
On the other side, Xing Hui Lian moved lightly, followed behind Lei Xiao respectfully, and said in detail: "But Her Royal Highness the Princess and the two kingdom generals kept this matter secret and never mentioned the specific content.
However, through the observation of her subordinates, it seems that Her Royal Highness the Princess and the two generals of the Kingdom are looking for something.
Therefore, my subordinate thought that "that thing" should be looking for something, or looking for a certain place, or simply both.
Moreover, every time Her Royal Highness the Princess mentions this matter to the two kingdom generals, her expressions are solemn and full of uncontrollable expectations, it must be very important."
"Looking for something?"
Hearing this, Lei Xiao, who was standing in front of the bookshelf, suddenly showed a thoughtful expression, and thought to himself: "According to what Lin reported before.
Ariel had indeed inquired in detail about the geographical environment around Kongqing Town, and seemed to be very interested in the other surrounding towns in particular.
This point coincides with the clues provided by Xinghui. From this point of view, the matter is obvious.
That’s why Ariel came to Kongqing Town. In addition to avoiding the intensifying disputes in the royal capital, she obviously also wanted to find something in the area around Kongqing Town.”
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but have a look of interest on his face: "This is something that Ariel, the fifth princess of Leng Yan, and the two kingdom generals are keeping secret and are looking forward to.
Obviously this is not an ordinary thing. Could it be that there is such a huge secret hidden around this remote Kongqing Town?
I have to say, things are really getting more and more interesting.”
Realizing this, Lei Xiao smiled faintly and continued to think: "In addition, based on Ariel's inquiries about the surrounding environment, it is obvious that she has not grasped the specific location of "that thing".
Therefore, as long as we pay more attention to clues in this area in the future, I believe that the truth about "that matter" will soon be revealed."
At this time, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, and the smile on his face gradually grew: "In short, now that we already know the two purposes of Ariel's trip.
Then, the next thing will naturally be easy to handle, and what is certain is that the other party has been very stable these days, just to make me relax my vigilance.
You must be looking for clues about "that thing" soon, right? With Ariel's poor acting skills, I wonder what kind of reason she will find this time?
By then, something very interesting will definitely happen, right? I can't wait to see this proud Princess Lengyan start to perform."
At this moment, while joking in my heart.
Lei Xiao's face couldn't help but show a solemn look again: "Speaking of which, Ariel faced the fourth-level peak powerhouse without getting hurt.
It undoubtedly shows that it does have a lot of hidden cards. After all, the Lengyan royal family has been in existence for hundreds of years, so it must have a very strong foundation.
A princess with the least power is like this, let alone other princes. From this, it can be seen that the Lengyan royal family is a huge opponent and cannot be underestimated."
Lei Xiao's gaze was seen casually scanning the mahogany bookshelves filled with books, and then he thought again: "However, before I successfully conquer the other party.
If the time is right, it is not impossible for Ariel to appear as one's own combat force first.
All in all, since Leng Yan's fifth princess is now in my hands, I naturally have to make the best use of her."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao calmed down, turned around, his eyes fell on the pretty maid next to him again, and said: "Okay, Xing Hui, you go back first.
Just pretend that nothing happened, I have bought this villa in full, and I will let Lin take good care of your family, so just go back and wait for Ariel."
"Thank you very much, Lord Lord!"
Hearing this, Xing Hui's fair face once again revealed a look of uncontrollable gratitude. He immediately knelt down on one knee and lowered his head deeply to Lei Xiao.
That's it, until Xing Hui leaves.
Under the leadership of Lei Xiao, our group also left here.
Under the clear night sky, walking on the streets that were still bustling with people, and facing the cool night breeze blowing in his face, Lei Xiao took a deep breath first.
Then he smiled lightly and said: "Then, let's go and see what Princess Leng Yan is doing in my city."
