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 clear and neutral 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?" Hearing this, Lei Xiao first directed everyone to disperse and be alert, and then asked, "Tell me in detail."
"Lord, regarding the envoy sent by the Leng Yan royal family.
The most important point is that the identity of the messenger is somewhat special."
After a moment of pause, Lin's somewhat disbelieving voice came over: "The messenger is none other than the fifth princess of the Lengyan royal family, Princess Ariel."
"Member of the royal family?" Upon hearing this, 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 my lord, my subordinates speculate that it is because of the ongoing battle for the throne in the royal capital."
From the other side, Lin's voice came over again: "Currently, several princes of the Lengyan royal family are fighting among themselves.
As far as my subordinates know, although Princess Ariel, as the fifth princess, has almost negligible power compared to the other older princes, she still has the right to inherit the throne after all."
"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?" Lei Xiao, who was leaning against the wall of the alley after thinking for a while, said.
"It's very possible."
Lin's sassy voice reached Lei Xiao's ears again: "Lord, my subordinates think that there may be another possibility.
That is, several princes want to use our hands to get rid of this princess.
After all, Princess Ariel has a good reputation and popularity in the royal capital. If something unexpected happens, the murderer may not get support."
"I see."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao showed a thoughtful look: "So, the Lengyan royal family should already know that Kongqing Town was occupied by me as the lord of the alien world, right?"
"Back to my lord, my subordinates believe that the other party has not yet been confirmed."
Lin's voice on the other end of the conversation immediately rang out: "Because the lord has not been here for long.
This directly led to the vast majority of nobles and people in power not believing that an alien lord could possess 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.
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: "In addition, the war with Shengye on the border is tense, and the battle for the throne in the royal capital.
This shows that, at least at this stage, our situation is still very optimistic."
"Your lord is wise."
Lin's reverent voice came over again: "Furthermore, according to the Lord's instructions, Fang Hai and I wear illusion cloaks every time we take action.
The city lord's palace and several surrounding streets have also been blocked by elite soldiers selected by the public.
Even if a spy sneaks into the city, no information will be obtained within a short period of time."
"Thanks for your hard work."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and then asked: "By the way, what are the recent trends in our surrounding forces?"
"Back to the lord, due to the recent defeat of the Lengyan Army on the border, almost all the city lords' forces have been weakened to some extent.
Moreover, the Lengyan royal family has restarted issuing a new round of war summons to some more powerful city lords."
On the other side, Lin's clear voice came quickly: "So, the surrounding city lords, the current situation is still unclear.
We are all maintaining a wait-and-see attitude, and we 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 will not be broken."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
There is no doubt that this is the case.
Then, the next step should naturally be to prepare to deal with another threat on our side.
After cheering up slightly, Lei Xiao asked again: "Lin, regarding Leng Yan's fifth princess, can you confirm the specific arrival date now?"
"Returning to the lord, we can't be sure yet."
Lin's clean voice immediately sounded: "If there is any news, I will inform the Lord as soon as possible."
"Very good, we can return to Kongqing Town this afternoon.
When the time comes, I will bring you and Fang Hai a lot of surprises." After saying hello to the other party, 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 transferred 2 million golden dragons to Faxia's parents in the name of Faxia.
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 is done.
Seeing that there was still some time left before noon, Lei Xiao took 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 always drinks moderately and is very principled.
Moreover, he had saved the lives of his subordinates many times on the battlefield.
At that time, if he hadn't insisted on giving up a magic potion he got by chance to his subordinates.
I’m afraid that those who are now third-level experts are no longer 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 somewhat strange behavior, Maiya couldn't help scratching his head and said doubtfully: "You may ask, but I will tell you everything I know."
On the other side, Lei Xiao smiled faintly and said slowly: "Do you want to become a third-level powerhouse?"
After listening to Lei Xiao's words, Maiya was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Lei Xiao with an expression of disbelief.
