Hearing this, the two people at the bottom, Bert and Jubai, both showed expressions of sudden realization.
It turns out that the reason why the other party's attitude changed so quickly is because they had already dug a hole here.
It can be seen from this that the other party has obviously noticed something.
Even, it has been predicted that Her Royal Highness Princess Ariel’s living environment in the royal capital will become increasingly severe.
Realizing this, the two of them couldn't help but sigh softly one after another.
It seems that the new city lord of Kongqing Town is undoubtedly much more difficult to deal with than imagined.
However, according to rumors, the other party is just an alien lord who has arrived not long ago, so the information should be very limited.
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 an envoy for the Leng Yan royal family where I am.”
Another year, Ariel still had a matter-of-fact expression, pretending to be calm and composed.
However, judging from the hand holding the delicate pendant on his chest, the fingers were almost completely white due to exertion.
Her heart was obviously not as calm as she appeared on the surface.
Knowing this keenly, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
He put on a resolute expression and said, "Well, if that's the case, then I'll have to send people to force you all back to the capital."
“Wait…wait a minute!”
On the other side, Princess Ariel finally couldn't bear it anymore and hurriedly said: "I suddenly remembered that there is actually another thing we have to do when we come here."
“I’d like to hear the details.” Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and slowly raised his hand, gesturing for the other party to continue speaking.
Ariel took a deep breath and looked a little solemn, then said: "You must have heard about it, right?
Recently, several of my brothers have been more active in the royal capital, and they even often greet each other with weapons, making the entire royal capital a bit lively.
And because my father is old and seriously ill, he has no time to take care of his brothers."
Speaking of this, Princess Ariel held up the brilliant princess crown on her head, and her face looked a little gloomy for a moment.
However, this cowardly expression was fleeting.
Immediately afterwards, a touch of grace and elegance appeared on her delicate cheeks again: "All in all, this princess is a person who likes peace and quiet. Naturally, she no longer wants to stay in that place where fighting and killing are happening every day.
Therefore, I just take this opportunity to go out and relax."
After listening to the other party's description, Lei Xiao raised the porcelain cup and took a sip of the fragrant tea newly added by the maid, showing a thoughtful expression.
There is no doubt that, although judging from Ariel's understatement, it seems that there is not that much chaos in the capital of Lengyan King.
However, let’s analyze further based on the panic expression on the opponent’s face just now because he didn’t want to return to the royal capital.
Things are 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 his wording than others.
If my prediction is correct, the battle for the throne in the capital of Leng Yan should have entered a fierce stage now.
Even, it has threatened Ariel’s own life safety.”
Gently putting down the tea cup in his hand, Lei Xiao glanced at Ariel who was pretending to be calm while continuing to think.
“Furthermore, as to 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.
Undoubtedly, among all the Lengyan City Lords, he is the only one who can confirm that he has not joined any prince's camp."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao tapped the metal armrest on the throne with his fingers and glanced at Ariel again.
“So, as the fifth princess of Leng Yan, my opponent chose to come to this Kongqing Town.
Obviously, you can ensure to the greatest extent that you 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, made Leng Yan’s fifth princess naturally not one to miss it easily.
It seems that this should be the other party’s real motive for coming here.”
Aware of this, the corners of Lei Xiao's mouth could not help but raise a little, and he said secretly in his heart: "Of course, although the other party's little calculation is crackling.
However, as I thought before, this is obviously a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our side.
Not only can you learn more about a lot of information about the Leng Yan royal family.
Even taking control of the entire Cold Flame Kingdom with Ariel’s hands is not an impossible thing.”
At this time, Lei Xiao was a little frightened, and his eyes were scanning back and forth on the people at the bottom, and a look of solemnity appeared on his face.
“Speaking of which, if Princess Ariel stays here for too long.
Then it will definitely attract the attention of other princes.
Even more, the possibility of these people sending a large number of spies and killers into the city to collect intelligence and carry out assassinations cannot be ruled out.
At that time, Kongqing Town will naturally become the target of the princes and subordinate forces.
Therefore, our own side must develop enough to confront it before that moment arrives, in order to better deal with such a crisis.
Perhaps, this is the so-called coexistence of opportunities and challenges.
I believe that many interesting things will happen by then.”
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao cheered up, and while playing with the tea cup in his hand, he said to Ariel: "Okay.
Since my dear Fifth Princess, Her Royal Highness, has informed me of her true purpose.
So, we are all in the same boat.
Everyone, please move on. 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 generals of the kingdom immediately showed puzzled expressions again.
The other party has gone around in such a big circle and it’s over? Shouldn’t he ask about other things?
I have to say that the young new city lord in front of me is really hard to figure out.
While confused, Princess Ariel and her party, led by several maids, began to walk towards the upper floor of the city lord's mansion.
By the time the princess and others all left inexplicably, only our own subordinates were left in the hall.
At this time, Lei Xiao rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought again.
In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, next, he will make two arrangements before further obtaining other information from Ariel.
