Chapter 256 Hall Talk (Part 2)

"The real purpose?"

Princess Ariel blinked her clear starry eyes, and replied with a natural expression, "Of course I came here for the Lengyan royal family where I belong."

After a pause, Ariel added solemnly: "If you are willing to replace the former city lord, swear allegiance to the royal family, continue to pay taxes to the capital, and fulfill relevant obligations during wartime.

Then, on behalf of the Lengyan royal family, this princess will appoint you as the new city lord of Kongqing Town, and give you all the powers of the city lord! "

"I see."

After hearing Ariel's words, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows.

All that the other party said was obviously exactly the same as what he expected when he occupied Kongqing Town before.

When the Lengyan royal family has royal power struggles inside and border wars outside.

Obviously, he didn't want to spend any more energy and focused on Kongqing Town, a little-known remote town like this.

As long as he promises to be loyal to the Lengyan royal family, he will not continue to expand his sphere of influence.

At least until the opponent frees up his hands and concentrates on dealing with him, Kongqing Town will be in a relatively safe state.

But correspondingly, once the other party completely resolves all internal and external troubles.

At that time, I will undoubtedly welcome the soldiers of the Lengyan army to the city when I am most caught off guard, and then I will be wiped out.

After all, after killing the former city lord who was protected by Leng Yan, he challenged the authority of the entire Leng Yan royal family.

In order to save face, the other party will definitely wait for an opportunity to retaliate against him and completely remove Kongqing Town from the map.

As for the so-called swearing of allegiance, it was just a way to confuse himself.

"I have discussed the above ideas carefully with Fang Hai, Guanzhong, Lin, Xueya, Faxia, who are also Lengyan nobles, and Chuan Gu, who are very familiar with the Lengyan Kingdom, and all of them agreed. Got a surprisingly unanimous yes answer.”

"So, naturally, I won't stop here and fall into the other party's trap."

"If you want to play tricks with the Daxia people who have a glorious history, these aborigines from other worlds are still a little tender."

Lei Xiao raised the porcelain cup, took a sip of the fragrant tea handed over by the maid, and continued to think.

At this stage, it can be completely determined that the Lengyan royal family, who are too busy to take care of themselves, has no plans to do anything to themselves.

And I can just take advantage of the fact that the opponent is delaying the attack, so I will use the plan.

On the surface, he pretended to agree to the other party, let the other party relax his vigilance, and continued to rapidly expand the strength of the territory secretly.

"As the saying goes, taking advantage of your illness and killing you, it is naturally impossible to want me to be slaughtered."

"No matter who it is, the only thing they get in the end is to get burned."

Lei Xiao put down the porcelain cup, a faint smile appeared on his face.

Now that the purpose of the mission is very clear.

Then, naturally, it will be the turn of Princess Ariel's true purpose to come here.

Although what she said just now was just and stern, her face was obviously a little unnatural.

It seems that the other party is not a person who is good at disguising.

As long as you do a little tricks, you will soon tell the whole story.

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao turned sideways and said to Ariel without hesitation: "I agree, Kongqing Town is willing to return to the rule of the Lengyan royal family."

"By the way, after attending the welcome banquet I prepared for you in a while, you can go back and report back this afternoon."

Lei Xiao showed a harmless smile, and said leisurely: "The welcome banquet and the farewell banquet happen to be combined together."

"Ah?" Hearing this, Princess Ariel blinked again, her face was full of doubts with big eyes that were almost comparable to Zhao Yan.

The Great Ax General Burt and the Holy Light General Jubai who were in the lower positions also started to look at each other in puzzlement.

The young city lord, who had a sneer at the Lengyan royal family just now, is willing to surrender so easily now?

The huge contrast between before and after seems a little too incomprehensible.

What kind of medicine is sold in this guy's gourd?

"You want me to leave this afternoon?"

Although Ariel still maintained a touch of grace on her delicate cheeks, her words became obviously a little unnatural, and she immediately said: "Even if you agree immediately, we have to go through the corresponding procedures, such as signing various paper documents. The contract or something, no matter what, it will take a week, no, it will take at least half a month!"

"It's just a contract, it takes so long?"

Looking at the faint panic in the other party, Lei Xiao still maintained a faint smile, and said playfully: "It's okay, just keep the corresponding officials."

"Furthermore, my dear Fifth Princess, as a member of the honorable royal family, you must be taking care of everything for the Lengyan royal family. How can I dare to delay you for so long in this small Kongqing town?"

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, and said leisurely again: "So, please leave this afternoon."

"If you let this princess leave, I will leave immediately. Wouldn't that be very embarrassing?"

While playing with the elegant silver pendant on her chest, Ariel said forcefully: "Originally, this princess also wanted to leave early. Hearing what you said, I'm going to stay here for a few more days!"

Seeing Ariel's arrogant appearance, Lei Xiao couldn't help curling his lips.

As expected of Leng Yan's fifth princess, the level of this nonsense is much higher than that of ordinary people.

Thinking of this with some helplessness in his heart, Lei Xiao did not continue to argue with him, and directly said in an unquestionable tone: "In short, if there is no other reason, everyone present here this afternoon must leave Kongqing Town immediately !"

"this……"

Hearing this, not only Princess Ariel next to Lei Xiao, but also the old General Burt and the orange-white female general next to him couldn't help but look at me and I look at you again.

In the past, every time the royal mission went on a mission, the city lords from all over the country wished they could stay with the mission for a few more days, while eating, drinking, having fun and traveling in the mountains and rivers.

Take the opportunity to establish a good relationship with the officials in these royal capitals, in case of emergencies.

But the young man in front of him obviously didn't play his cards according to the routine.

What was said that the welcome banquet and the farewell banquet were combined together is simply unheard of!

"You...what exactly do you want?"

In addition to being indignant, Princess Ariel took a deep breath and said angrily, "What if this princess just doesn't leave and wants to stay here for a while?"

"That's not impossible."

Seeing that the time was ripe, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said, "It's still the same question as before, my dear Fifth Princess, please tell me the real purpose of your coming here."
