On the other side, 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.
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!"
"I see."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao rubbed his chin and nodded thoughtfully.
There is no doubt that everything the other party said is exactly what we expected when we occupied Kongqing Town.
It seems that the Lengyan royal family is having a royal power struggle internally and a border war externally.
Obviously I don’t want to spend more energy and focus on Kongqing Town, a little-known remote town like this.
It can be seen that as long as our side agrees to be loyal to the Lengyan royal family, it will no longer continue to expand its sphere of influence.
At least until the other side frees up its hands to concentrate on dealing with itself, one's own side will be in a relatively safe state.
However, correspondingly, once the other party has completely resolved all internal and external troubles.
At that time, our side will undoubtedly be caught off guard when the cold flame army approaches the city, and then suffer catastrophe.
“In any case, after all, after our side killed the former city lord who was protected by Leng Yan, it was tantamount to challenging the authority of the entire Leng Yan royal family.
Therefore, in order to regain face, the other party will definitely wait for an opportunity to retaliate against itself and completely eliminate itself.
As for the so-called pledge of allegiance, it is nothing more than a delaying tactic to confuse our own side.
I have discussed this point with Lin, Fang Hai, Guanzhong, Xue Ya, Faxia, who are also Lengyan nobles, and Kawatani and others who are very familiar with the Lengyan Kingdom.
And, they all got a surprisingly consistent positive answer.
Therefore, our side will naturally not stop here and fall into the trap of the other side.
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."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao raised his porcelain cup and took a sip of the fragrant tea handed over by the maid while continuing to think.
“All in all, it is now completely certain.
At present, the Leng Yan royal family, who are too busy taking care of themselves, have no plans to deal with their opponents.
And our own side can just take advantage of the opponent's delaying strategy, use it to his advantage, and pretend to agree to the opponent on the surface, thereby making the opponent relax his vigilance.
Continuing to expand one's own strength secretly, as the saying goes, taking advantage of your illness to kill you, and it is naturally impossible for one's own side to be killed at your own expense.
No matter who you are, all you will get in the end is to get burned."
Realizing this, Lei Xiao put down the porcelain cup and fell into deep thought again.
“Having said that, now that the purpose of the mission has been answered.
Then, naturally it is the turn of Princess Ariel herself to come here for her true purpose.
Even though what she just said was righteous and stern, her face was still obviously a little unnatural.
It seems that the other party is not a person who is good at pretending. As long as he uses a little trick, he will soon reveal everything."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao turned sideways without hesitation and said to Ariel: "I agree, Kongqing Town is willing to return to the rule of the Lengyan royal family.
After attending the welcome banquet I have prepared for you in a moment, you can go back and resume your duties this afternoon.
It just happens to be a welcome banquet and a farewell banquet, so they can be merged together.”
"Huh?" Hearing this, Princess Ariel blinked again, her big eyes almost as big as Chaoyan's, with a look of confusion on her face.
At the same time, General Burt, the giant axe, and General Jubai, who were at the bottom, began to look at each other in confusion.
This young city lord, who had a contemptuous attitude towards the Leng Yan royal family just now, is now willing to surrender so easily?
The huge contrast between before and after seems a little too difficult to understand.
What kind of medicine is this guy selling in his gourd?
“Leaving in the afternoon?”
On the other side, Ariel still maintained a touch of grace despite her delicate cheeks.
The language was obviously a little unnatural, and he immediately responded: "Even if you agree immediately, we still have to go through the corresponding processing procedures.
Such as signing various paper contracts, it will take a week, no, it will take at least half a month!"
“It’s just a contract signing, does it take so long?”
Looking at the vaguely panicked expression on the other side, Lei Xiao couldn't help showing a little playful expression, and said again: "It doesn't matter, just keep the corresponding official.
As a distinguished member of the royal family, dear Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess, you must take care of everything for the Lengyan royal family.
How dare I, a small empty town like mine, delay you for so long?
So, please leave this afternoon."
“You asked me to leave, and if I leave, then wouldn’t it be a shame for me?”
I saw Ariel playing with the elegant silver pendant on her chest, while saying arrogantly: "Originally, I wanted to leave early, but after hearing what you said, I want to stay here for a few more days!"
Hearing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but curled his lips slightly.
She is indeed the fifth princess of Leng Yan. Her level of messiness is much higher than that of ordinary people.
Aware of this, Lei Xiao simply did not continue to argue, 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 this, not only Princess Ariel next to Lei Xiao, but also the old General Bert and the orange-white female general at the bottom.
I can’t help but look at you again and I’ll look at you again.
In the past, every royal mission was sent out.
The city lords from all over the country wished they could stay with the envoys for a few more days, so that they could eat, drink, have fun and travel around.
Take the opportunity to establish good relations with the officials in these royal capitals to prepare for emergencies.
But the young man in front of me obviously didn't follow the routine.
It is also said that the welcome banquet and the farewell banquet are combined, which is simply unheard of!
“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.” Lei Xiao smiled faintly. Seeing that the time was ripe, Lei Xiao went straight to the point and said, “Then, it’s still the same question as before.
Dear Your Highness the Fifth Princess, please tell me your true purpose of coming here.”
