Chapter 565 Shocked Brother and Sister
"I'm afraid they don't have the guts yet!"
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 is 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: "Furthermore, except for a few close associates, most of the elite guards guarding the castle are not under our control..."
"Reese, how come you always make others proud 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 her words, 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, 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 itself, Gelin City is afraid that things will really change.
After all, as the capital of thousands of minerals, Gelin City 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 tightly 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, and 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 his 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 the 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. They say it is for the sake of the drinks that the Lord of the City had previously ordered."
The maid bowed her head to the young woman and 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 thoughtless."
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 there 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 beside 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 Lengbao'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."
Then, Lisha 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 was unconsciously revealed in his tone.
No matter what, they are the children of the lord of a city, and they have the right to inherit the city lord and the patriarch of the family. Naturally, they will not take an envoy seriously.
"I am the envoy of Lan Leng Castle, Cinnabar."
With a slight smile, Lei Xiao asked knowingly: "Excuse me, where is Lord Huode now?"
"Our father is naturally busy with all kinds of things and will not meet guests casually."
Reese folded his arms and said impatiently: "This envoy of Lan Leng Castle, aren't we two enough?"
"Reese, the envoy represents the Marquis of Rose, so you must not be rude."
Giving Reese a look not to cause trouble, Lixia kept smiling and said: "Your Excellency the Envoy, our father is busy with official business, so he sent the two of us to meet, and I hope Your Excellency the Envoy will forgive me."
"Forget it, if that's the case, it's not a bad idea to meet you two."
On the other side, Lei Xiao also smiled faintly.
"Tsk, you are just an insignificant messenger, but you are so arrogant."
Hearing this, Reese on the side could not help but snorted coldly.
"Arrogant?"
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao walked straight to Reese and smiled: "I am afraid that even if your father stood here, his status would not be equal to mine, so it is more appropriate to use the word condescending."
At this time, Lei Xiao could clearly sense it.
The strength of these two people is both at the third level and three stars, while he has reached the peak level of double third level.
Therefore, with the blessing of many trump cards and high-level equipment, even if the subordinates behind him do not take action, Lei Xiao is fully confident that he can easily subdue these two people in a short time.
And the reason why Lei Xiao confronted the opponent head-on was only for one purpose, that is to dampen the opponent's spirit and lay a good foundation for the next action.
This time, before Reese, who was angry and annoyed, spoke again.
I saw Lixia frowning, blocking the two of them, and said to Lei Xiao coldly: "Your Excellency the Envoy, although Reese was rude first, your words are a bit too contemptuous of us and our father, right?"
After a pause, Lixia's crisp voice became a little lower, and continued: "If you don't apologize for what you said just now, then I will have to invite our father. At that time, no one can guarantee what will happen."
Reese on the side also straightened his chest, looking fearless.
It seemed that in the next second, the young man in front of him would bow his head and admit his mistake and kneel down in front of him.
On the other side, listening to the other party's unpressured threat, Lei Xiao smiled slightly and said shockingly: "If you can really find your father, you probably won't still be standing here and arguing with me with words, right?"
"This..."
Hearing the voice, Lixia and Reese couldn't help but be stunned and began to look at each other.
After a while, Lixia regained her spirits and pretended to be calm: "Sir, what do you mean by this?"
"My meaning is very simple, that is, your father has been missing for a long time, right?"
Looking at the gradually panicking and declining momentum of the brother and sister, Lei Xiao continued to maintain a faint smile.
"How...how did you know?!"
Staring at Lei Xiao's indifferent face, even the relatively calm Lixia began to panic and asked: "Sir, who are you?"
"Someone who can help you find your father."
Feeling the other party's uncontrollable panic, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
"Don't joke, why should we believe you?!"
In addition to being surprised, Reese involuntarily put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist and said coldly: "Maybe our father's disappearance is inseparable from you!"
Seeing this, the subordinates behind Lei Xiao all looked cold and involuntarily stepped forward.
Lei Xiao waved his hand slightly, signaling everyone not to be nervous.
"Reese, calm down. If this person is really the mastermind, then there is no need to talk to the two of us."
Opposite, shaking his head helplessly, Li Xia's starry eyes flickered, and said again: "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 Tiger Stick to completely seal the room with his breath, and then nodded to Ariel.
The next second, accompanied by a vast momentum, swept out from Tiger Stick's burly body, and then completely isolated 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.
Needless to say, the reason why Lei Xiao did this was naturally to subdue the siblings in front of him.
Lei Xiao had already noticed when entering the gate of the city lord's mansion.
Although the guards and servants here seemed to be doing fine, the overall environment was vaguely giving off a strange atmosphere.
In particular, the occasional alertness and distance between some soldiers' eyes undoubtedly showed that there were clearly two different camps here.
Coupled with what he had learned from Maia and Fran before, Lei Xiao had already guessed the unfavorable situation of the two people in front of him.
In short, in this situation, Lei Xiao obviously had a great deal of confidence in subduing the brother and sister.
The most important thing is that after subduing the Marquis of Rose.
At present, Lei Xiao no longer has the fourth-level recruitment order. Even if the missing Lord of Gelin City survives and is successfully rescued by his side, he cannot be subdued immediately.
Therefore, it is a good choice to subdue the descendants of the missing Lord of Gelin City first.
After all, Lei Xiao's ultimate goal is to control the entire Gelin City in his own hands.
"Five...Five-level strongman? Your Highness...Princess?!"
For a moment, the two siblings in front of them were petrified instantly.
There is no doubt that both the powerful fifth-level strongman and Ariel, who is a member of the Cold Flame Royal Family, have obviously touched the deepest heartstrings of the two.
Among them, Lixia, in particular, almost fainted.
You know, Lixia, as the eldest lady of Gelin City, has always regarded Ariel as her idol.
Although she is a martial artist, she doesn't have Ariel's slender waist, nor can she learn Ariel's elegance and calmness, and she is not used to wearing a body-shaping princess dress.
But which noble lady doesn't have a little dream of becoming a lady in her heart?
And Reese, who was standing aside, looked up at the huge body of Tiger Stick, who had taken off the illusion cloak. While his heart was pounding, his big mouth could at least swallow two dragon eggs in a row.
From childhood to adulthood, he has always lived under the protection of his sister, and his biggest dream is to become stronger and protect his sister.
However, although Reese worked hard to practice for this, he finally got what he wanted and achieved the same strength as Risha.
However, the soft character formed by being spoiled and the style of doing things without his own opinion still made him live under Risha's wings without any change.
Therefore, when Reese saw the tall and mighty Tiger Stick, in addition to the uncontrollable fear in his heart, he was more envious and yearning.
In this way, when the brother and sister came to their senses, they were surprised to find that
Both Ariel and Tiger Stick stood respectfully on the left and right sides of Lei Xiao before they reacted completely.
It turned out that the young man in front of them with a calm expression was the real leader here!
"How is it possible? How could the proud princess be willing to be inferior to others?"
With her starry eyes flickering, Lixia looked puzzled, staring straight at Lei Xiao, and a huge wave of emotion in her heart: "Who is this young man?"
"It turns out that this young man who looks about the same age as me can make a fifth-level strongman who can defend the country obey his orders. Isn't it too scary? It's suffocating."
On the other side, Reese swallowed his saliva involuntarily, looking at Lei Xiao in front of him with dodging eyes.
"Okay, without further ado, Ariel, tell the brother and sister my true identity."
Clapping his hands lightly, Lei Xiao sat on the boss chair that Bert had just moved, and smiled faintly.
