Liu frowned and snorted coldly. The young woman subconsciously adjusted the light armor on her body and said: "After all, the ten thousand garrison in Gelin City are in our hands!"
"Having said that, at today's meeting, quite a few of the garrison generals also looked completely demotivated."
The young man first subconsciously lowered his voice by three points, and then said: "Moreover, except for a few close associates, most of the elite guards guarding the castle are not under our control..."
"Reese, how come you always inflate other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige?"
I saw the young woman put one hand on her hips, gave the other person a hairy chestnut with the other hand and said: "If the other party sees our cowardice, that will be the beginning of the other party becoming more and more unscrupulous!"
After finishing speaking, although the young woman's fair face looked determined, her tone clearly revealed a lack of confidence.
At this time, the young woman clearly understood.
After all, the two of them are still too young. No matter in terms of qualifications, strength or connections, they are no match for the older guys in the family.
It is conceivable that if the father, as the city lord, had really disappeared.
So, under the current situation where Leng Yan is suffering from internal and external troubles and the royal family has too much time to take care of themselves, Gelin City is afraid that things will really change.
After all, Gelin City, as the capital of thousands of minerals, is one of the few medium-to-large cities in the eastern region of this cold flame. Its strength and industry are both in the first echelon. I am afraid that few people can resist the temptation of such power. .
In addition, in the context of power disputes, many people in the family are dissatisfied with their father's neutral approach. Now, these opponents are undoubtedly starting to make moves in secret.
Thinking of this, the young woman bit her red lips and said: "Reese, in short, we must not get confused. We must find traces of our father as soon as possible!"
"I understand, I will do my best."
Grinning and rubbing his red forehead, the young man named Reese nodded repeatedly.
On the other side, looking at her biological brother who still looked uneasy, the young woman turned around and sighed quietly.
Then he murmured to himself: "In the final analysis, we, the two siblings, are still too weak. If there is a big man as a powerful helper, standing behind us, everything will naturally be completely different. "
Realizing this, the young woman's starry eyes lit up at first, and then she shook her head helplessly, and said quietly in her heart: "But, how is this possible?"
"Those elders have extremely wide connections in this area. I'm afraid no one is willing to easily become their enemy. After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see the current situation.
If my father really disappears, whether he is supporting a puppet or taking the position himself, I am afraid that Gelin City will fall into the hands of those elders sooner or later."
Thinking of this, the young woman's eyebrows drooped, and her expectant face dimmed again.
At this moment, a polite knock on the door suddenly rang outside the room where the two of them were.
In confusion, accompanied by a crisp sound of armor clashing, when the young woman in light armor opened the door, the figure of a maid appeared in front of her.
"Miss Lixia, there are a few people outside the castle who claim to be the envoys of Blue Cold Castle. They want to see you and the young master, saying that they want to order drinks for the Lord of the City."
Bowing to the young woman and saluting, the maid replied respectfully.
"The messenger from Blue Cold Castle? To order drinks? Missing!"
Before the young woman named Lisha could speak, Rees behind him frowned and said, "Sister, this is so urgent. How can we care about such a trivial matter."
"Reese, don't be so rude."
Giving the young man a chestnut again, Lixia thought for a while and said thoughtfully: "I have heard about my father's reservation for drinks. It seems that the agreed time limit has passed. Since we broke the appointment first, then naturally
You need to explain it clearly to the other party.”
After speaking, Li Xia, who was wearing silver and white light armor and looked heroic, nodded to the maid, and then said: "Please wait for a moment in the reception room No. 1, and Rick and I will go over right away.
"
That's it, after a while.
When siblings Lisha and Reese opened the door to the reception room No. 1, a group of men and women in ordinary clothes were already waiting there.
Needless to say, it was Lei Xiao and his party who had gone through the magic disguise.
At this time, the only people standing next to Lei Xiao were Huzhang and Hongye.
There are also Ariel, Jubai and Bert. As for the other main subordinates, they are on standby around the city lord's mansion.
The reason why Lei Xiao pretended to be Lan Leng Fort's envoy was naturally to deceive others.
In this way, whether it is other forces that may exist in the main palace of Gelin City or the spies of several princes in the dark, they will relax their vigilance accordingly.
"Your Excellency is the envoy of Blue Cold Castle?"
Looking at the leader Lei Xiao, Lixia nodded slightly and said: "I am Lixia, the eldest daughter of the Lord of City Huo De."
Immediately afterwards, Lixia pulled the young man aside and introduced: "This is my brother Reese."
At this time, although Lixia's words sounded quite polite, a touch of arrogance still emerged from his tone.
No matter what, they are the children of the lord of a city, and have the inheritance rights of the city lord and family patriarch, so naturally they will not take an envoy seriously.
"This is Cinsha, the messenger of Blue Cold Castle."
Smiling slightly, Lei Xiao asked knowingly: "May I ask where your Excellency, City Lord Hod, is now?"
"Our father naturally has many things to do, and he will not accept guests casually."
Rees crossed his arms and said impatiently: "This envoy of Blue Cold Castle, aren't the two of us enough?"
"Reese, His Excellency the Envoy represents His Excellency the Marquis of Rose. You must not be rude."
Casting a look at Reese not to cause trouble, Lixia kept smiling and said: "Your Majesty the Messenger, our father is busy with official duties, so he sent the two of us here to meet. I hope Your Majesty the Messenger will forgive me."
"Well, if that's the case, it wouldn't be a bad idea to meet you two."
On the other side, Lei Xiao also smiled lightly.
"Hey, he is just an insignificant messenger, but he is so entrusted with such great responsibility."
Hearing this, Reese on the side couldn't help but snorted coldly.
"Toda?"
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao walked straight to Reese and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that even your father standing here is not equivalent to my status, so it is more appropriate to use the word condescension.
"
At this time, Lei Xiao could clearly feel it.
The strength of these two people is both at the third level of three stars, and he has already reached the peak level of double third level.
Therefore, with the blessing of many trump cards and high-end equipment, even if the subordinates behind him do not take action, Lei Xiao is still confident that he can easily subdue these two people in a short period of time.
The reason why Lei Xiao went head-to-head with his opponent had only one purpose, which was to frustrate the opponent's energy and lay a solid foundation for the next action.
This time, Reese, who was angry and annoyed, spoke again before he could wait.
Li Xia frowned tightly, stood in front of the two of them, and said coldly to Lei Xiao: "Your Majesty the Messenger, although it was Lis who was rude first, your words are also a bit too contemptuous of us and our family.
Is he our father?"
After a pause, Lixia's crisp voice became a little deeper and he continued: "If you don't apologize for what you said just now, then I will have to invite our father here. What will happen then?
I’m afraid no one can guarantee that.”
Reese on the side also puffed up his chest, looking confident and fearless.
It seemed that the next second, the young man in front of him would bow his head and admit his mistake and kneel in front of him.
On the other side, listening to the other party's threat without any pressure, Lei Xiao smiled slightly and said shockingly: "If you can really find your father, I'm afraid you won't still be standing here and arguing with me with words.
Bar?"
"this……"
Hearing the sound, Lisha and Reese couldn't help but were stunned and began to look at each other.
After a while, Lixia regained his composure, and then he pretended to be calm and said: "Your Majesty the Messenger, what do you mean by this?"
"What I mean is very simple. That is your father. He has been missing for a long time, right?"
Looking at the pair of siblings who were gradually panicking and losing momentum, Lei Xiao continued to maintain a faint smile.
"You...how did you know?!"
Staring at Lei Xiao's indifferent face, even the relatively calm Lixia began to panic and asked: "Your Excellency, who are you?"
"Someone who can help you find your father."
Feeling the other party's uncontrollable panic, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
"Stop joking, why should we believe you?!"
Surprised, Reese involuntarily put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist and said coldly: "Maybe our father's disappearance is inextricably related to you!"
Seeing this, all the subordinates behind Lei Xiao took a step forward involuntarily with cold expressions on their faces.
Lei Xiao waved his hand slightly, signaling that everyone should not be nervous.
"Reese, calm down. If this person is really the mastermind behind this, there is no need to talk to the two of us at all."
Opposite him, Lixia shook his head helplessly, and with his starry eyes twinkling, he said, "Sir, although I don't know where you got the news from, this is not enough for us to believe you."
"A very sincere answer."
With a faint smile, Lei Xiao first signaled the knotweed to completely seal the room with his breath, and then nodded to Ariel.
The next second, along with a vast momentum, swept out from the burly body of the knotweed, completely isolating the room from the outside world.
Ariel also took off the illusion mask on her face and showed her true face in front of the two of them.
Needless to say, the reason why Lei Xiao did this was naturally to conquer the siblings in front of him.
Lei Xiao had already noticed it when he entered the gate of the city lord's mansion.
Although the guards and servants here looked normal, the overall environment gave off a vaguely strange atmosphere.
In particular, the caution and distance occasionally revealed in the eyes of some soldiers undoubtedly showed that this place was obviously divided into two different camps.
Coupled with what he had learned from Maiya and Fran before, Lei Xiao had already guessed the unfavorable situation of the two people in front of him.
All in all, in this extremely unfavorable environment, Lei Xiao obviously had great confidence in conquering the two siblings.
The most important thing is that after conquering the Rose Marquis.
Currently, there is no fourth-level recruitment order on Lei Xiao's body. Even if the missing Lord of Gelin City survives and is successfully rescued by his own side, he cannot be conquered immediately.
Therefore, it would be a good choice to conquer this pair of descendants who are the heirs of the missing city lord first.
After all, Lei Xiao's ultimate goal is to control the entire Gelin City in his own hands.
"Fifth...level five powerhouse? Your Highness...Princess?!"
For a moment, the two siblings in front of them turned to stone.
There is no doubt that both the powerful fifth-level warrior and Ariel, who is from the Cold Flame Royal Family, have clearly touched the deepest heartstrings of the two of them.
Among them, especially Lixia, she almost fainted.
You know, as the eldest lady of Ge Lincheng, Lixia has always regarded Ariel as her idol.
Although she is a martial artist, she does not have Ariel's slender waist, nor can she imitate Ariel's elegance and calmness, nor is she accustomed to wearing body-shaping princess dresses.
But, which noble lady doesn’t have a little dream in her heart to become a lady?
On the side, Reese looked up at the huge body of Knotweed that had taken off his illusion cloak. While his heart was pounding, his mouth was wide enough to swallow at least two dragon eggs in a row.
He has been living under the protection of his sister since he was a child. His biggest dream is to become stronger and protect his sister.
However, even though Reese worked hard to practice for this, he finally got what he wanted and reached the same strength as Lisha.
However, his soft character formed by being pampered and his lack of opinion in dealing with problems still allowed him to live under Lixia's wings without any change.
Therefore, when Reese saw the tall and powerful Japanese knotweed, in addition to the uncontrollable fear in his heart, he felt even more envy and yearning.
Just like that, when the siblings came to their senses, they were surprised to find out.
Both Ariel and Hezhuang stood respectfully on the left and right sides of Lei Xiao before they fully reacted.
It turns out that the indifferent young man in front of me is the real leader here!
"How is it possible? How could the proud princess be willing to succumb to others?"
As his starry eyes flickered, Lixia had a puzzled look on his face. While looking straight at Lei Xiao, he raised a huge wave in his heart: "Who is this young man?"
"To be able to make a fifth-level warrior at the national level obey orders, this young man who looks about the same age as me is too scary, isn't he? It's simply suffocating."
On the other side, Reese swallowed involuntarily and looked at Lei Xiao in front of him with evasive eyes.
"Okay, without further ado, Ariel, tell these siblings my true identity."
Clapping his hands gently, Lei Xiao sat on the boss chair that Bert had just moved and said with a faint smile.
