Chapter 326 Unexpected and Expected 【5K】

At this moment, looking at the slender figure not far away, Qing Shu, who had been away from home for many years, opened his mouth slightly, and could hardly believe his eyes.

Under the reflection of the pale golden moonlight, a long-lost familiar face was filled with a bright smile, and the firmness revealed between the black eyebrows was exactly the same as Qingshu himself.

This person is none other than his younger sister, Bai Guo, who has been dependent on him since he was a child!

"How is it possible? Why did Baiguo appear here?"

While having mixed feelings, the burly Qing Shu couldn't help but have a puzzled expression on his face.

Directly opposite, the slender figure waved his hand vigorously in this direction.

That familiar movement was exactly the same as when he was seeing him off at the gate of Mailan Town a few years ago.

"It's really ginkgo?"

Seeing this scene, Qingshu's resolute face immediately revealed a look of surprise and joy, leaving behind the unknown team leader, and hurriedly greeted him.

He never thought that the family member whom he was thinking about just now would actually appear in front of him!

When he got close, he didn't wait for the elated Qingshu to open his mouth.

It was Bai Guo who took advantage of the night to drag him directly to the other side of the building under the cover of a large group of soldiers on his side and the building next to him.

Because all this happened in a flash, even the confused team leader couldn't see what happened, and Qingshu had already disappeared.

After a while, Bai Guo and Qing Shu arrived at the location that Lei Xiao had already arranged.

In this position, although there are still a lot of people, the people walking around are all great swordsmen in plate armor and magicians in elven robes.

After standing still again, Qingshu first touched Baiguo's head affectionately, then smiled and said: "I didn't expect that I haven't seen her in a few years. My sister has grown so tall, and she is taller than those fighting all day long." Maid, it's more than one level stronger."

Having said that, Qing Shu stretched out his hands with a face of joy, and drew a distance of about one meter, and continued: "I remember when I left, you were only this tall."

"Brother, when you left home, I was already very tall, okay?"

Slightly pursing his lips, Bai Guo raised his cheeks and said proudly, "Brother, do you see any changes in my aura?"

"Aura? A few years ago, didn't you just advance to the level of the second-order strongman? Otherwise, you would not have been selected into the city lord's mansion. Thinking about it, you should have reached the level of the second-order senior strongman..."

However, before Qing Shu could finish speaking, his voice suddenly stopped, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

At this moment, he was surprised to find out.

The younger sister, whom I haven't seen for a few years, is actually almost as strong as the third-tier and second-star myself!

"How can this be?!"

Feeling extremely puzzled, Qingshu fully opened his senses, moved his eyes, and sized up and down the ginkgo again. After repeated confirmation, he still got the same result as before.

There is no doubt that his younger sister has indeed stepped into the palace of the third-order powerhouse.

This kind of strength is enough to be a top-notch existence even among the elite Lengyan royal guards.

"Bing Guo's cultivation talent is indeed very good, almost on par with my elder brother. There is no doubt about this."

While feeling the joy of reunion, looking at the younger sister whose strength has risen in front of him, Qingshu's heart has already set off a huge wave.

"However, when I left Mailan Town and headed for the capital, Bai Guo, who was still young, had just broken through the bottleneck and entered the level of a second-order powerhouse."

"As for me, I have been hovering at the peak level of the second-order for a while, and I am not far away from the powerhouse of the third-order."

"However, it's only been a few years since Bai Guo has reached the same level of strength as me at a rocket speed? You know, as the elder brother, I have practiced for nearly ten years longer than her. "

Just when Qingshu was surprised, his eyes fell on the bright gold ring on Bai Guoxian's hand again, and he was stunned on the spot again.

For him who has been serving as a guard in the capital all year round, this priceless ring is all too familiar.

Undoubtedly, it is a storage ring that can only be seen on the bodies of high-ranking nobles and members of the royal family!

"The storage ring is a precious item that us ordinary people from poor families never dare to expect. How could Bai Guo have this?!"

While the mind was shaking, looking at the ring on Bai Guo's hand, Qing Shu's eyes almost popped out, and he continued to condense his brows in thought: "Speaking of which, according to common sense, it is absolutely impossible for Bai Guo's cultivation progress to be so fast. of."

"Besides, she has been in the Lord's Mansion of Mailan Town, and it is unlikely that she will leave the city and encounter any adventures...Then the biggest possibility is undoubtedly that she has taken expensive potions that permanently increase her strength."

Qingshu's throat rolled, he swallowed involuntarily, and looked at Baiguo with disbelief.

"Not only does he have a storage ring, but he also took so many potions that he directly reached the third-order level."

"This kind of treatment, even for me in the capital, sounds incredible. Could it be that behind my sister, there is a big man with huge energy?!"

Thinking of this, Qing Shu was so shocked that he almost didn't know what to say.

"Brother, what are you thinking?"

Looking at Qingshu's shocking eyes, Bai Guo smiled and spoke again.

"nothing."

After calming down for a while, Qingshu shook his head with mixed feelings and said: "As an elder brother, I planned to earn a few more golden dragons in the capital and improve your life when I come back. You girl has become so promising, I am a little envious."

"Brother, in fact, just a few days ago, I almost lost my life, and the reason why I am here today is because of the favor of that adult..."

Next, without any hesitation, Bai Guo told Qing Shu exactly what happened when she met Lei Xiao and his party in the alley that day in order to avoid being chased and killed, as well as the ins and outs of the whole thing.

"It turned out to be like this."

Hearing this, Qingshu was stunned for a while, and then said again: "No wonder you appear here, it turns out that it is because of the lord from Kongqing Town..."

At this moment, Qingshu's heart is full of thoughts.

When Lei Xiao first came to Kongqing Town in the airship, Lei Xiao's words and deeds in front of Ariel had already given him a great shock.

You know, when you were in the capital, even the most powerful princes and nobles would look flattering when they saw the princess.

After all, what the princess represents is the absolute ruler of this land: the Lengyan royal family.

In the face of such a powerful person, he still did not bow his head. He had only seen Lei Xiao who was the Lord of Kongqing City!

What he never expected was that the other party actually saved his only family member in this world. This act alone was enough to gain his absolute respect!

Just when Qingshu thought of this.

Surrounded by all the subordinates, the gentle Lei Xiao appeared in front of the two of them.

After arriving in a quiet room, it took little effort.

The crisp sound of armor clashing sounded, and Qingshu, who was convinced, knelt down on one knee, and lowered his head deeply to Lei Xiao: "Your subordinate, Qingshu Randy, is willing to swear allegiance to the lord lord!"

"Let's start signing the contract."

Smiling faintly, Lei Xiao's heart moved slightly, and a recruitment order suddenly appeared in his hand.

Immediately, the familiar prompt sound came to Lei Xiao's ears.

[Congratulations, the third-rank two-star heavy swordsman Qingshu Randy has signed a master-servant contract with you and has become your new subordinate! 】

While lifting up the green tree, Lei Xiao opened the opponent's attribute bar.

【Name: Qingshu】

【Occupation: Heavy Swordsman】

[Class: Tier 3, 2 Star]

【Loyalty: 100】

[Skill 1: Shield Breaking Slash "Active" (Physical single target attack, additional shield breaking effect and armor breaking effect)]

[Skill 2: Storm Spinning "Active" (small-range physical attack)]

[Skill 3: Epee Mastery "Passive" (Slightly increases damage when using epee)]

After closing the property bar, Lei Xiao, who was sitting at the top of the room again, motioned for Qingshu to take a seat beside him, and took a sip of the fragrant tea that A Ling had just brewed.

Next, it is naturally time to learn more about Leng Yan's fifth princess, Ariel.

Slowly putting down the teacup in his hand, without hesitation, Lei Xiao gave a rough description of his guess about Princess Ariel's visit to Kongqing Town in person, with Qingshu.

"My lord, everything is indeed as you expected."

After listening to Lei Xiao's description, Qingshu bowed slightly and said: "As far as I know, the castle where Princess Ariel is located has indeed been infiltrated by top assassins many times, and the target is Princess Ariel herself. Fortunately, every time the risk is saved.

However, the subordinates are only responsible for the outer security, and the specific situation is not clear, but the subordinates have heard that after secret investigations after the incident, each time the assassin seems to have a relationship with one of the other three princes who are fighting for power and profit. Contact more or less. "

"I see."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and thoughtfully said: "In other words, isn't it just a prince who is eyeing on Ariel's life? It's no wonder that although as Leng Yan's fifth princess, Ariel's own power The weakest, but also has the right to inherit the throne, this alone is enough to give all the other princes a reason to attack him."

"What the lord said is very true."

Qingshu bowed his head and saluted, and continued: "Besides, before coming here, once, when the princess was talking with the two generals of the kingdom, the subordinates who were guarding at the side had accidentally heard with their own ears that the giant axe general Bert It was indeed mentioned that it is suggested that the princess take the opportunity of a mission to go to Kongqing Town for temporary shelter."

"It seems that the main purpose of the other party's coming here is indeed to avoid the power struggle in the capital."

Picking up the teacup, he took another sip of the fragrant tea, Lei Xiao nodded, and motioned for A Ling to pour another cup for Qingshu.

"Thank you Lord Lord!"

After receiving the steaming exquisite white porcelain teacup, Qingshu pondered for a while, and said: "As for whether the princess has other purposes, I have never heard of it. The only clue is the "that's what the Lord Lord mentioned." This matter", this point, the subordinate also heard the princess and the two kingdom generals say it. "

"Oh? Do you know what is going on?"

Lei Xiao leaned forward slightly, showing a curious expression.

"Return to the lord, the specific matters are not clear to the subordinates."

Shaking his head helplessly, Qing Shu took a sip of steaming fragrant tea first, and then said: "However, judging from the dignified expressions on the faces of the princess and the two kingdom generals at that time, the so-called incident must be very serious. important."

"Understood, I will leave this question to the maid Xinghui who is closer to Ariel."

With a slight nod, Lei Xiao thought for a moment, then asked again: "By the way, the two kingdom generals who came with Ariel, the Great Axe General Burt, and the Holy Light General Jubai, each have their own Soldiers of a legion? Where are these soldiers now?"

"My lord, due to the intensified battle between the three princes in the capital, all the fortresses leading to the capital have been closed and are in a state of martial law. Moreover, it is said that the old king who is seriously ill Personally order, it is strictly forbidden for anyone to mobilize the eight legions under the royal family."

Qing Shu put down the teacup in his hand, and said with a solemn expression: "So, these two generals of the kingdom who are on the same front as the princess have to choose to come alone with the princess, otherwise, they will also be killed by the other few. The danger that a prince will get rid of."

"Has it reached the state of completely sealing off the entire capital? No wonder the news came slowly..."

Lei Xiao motioned to A Ling, who was standing respectfully beside her, to refill her tea, and said with a slight frown, "What is the current situation in the capital?"

"Back to Lord Lord, the situation is very bad."

Qingshu sighed softly, shook his head helplessly, and responded: "In the huge royal capital, there are undercurrents and murderous intentions everywhere. There are big and small struggles happening almost every day, and blood flows everywhere."

"Its seriousness, even the wide-area attack magic that is prohibited in the capital, is not uncommon, so that a large number of buildings and civilians are affected for no reason."

Speaking of this, Qingshu drank a big sip of tea again, and continued: "In addition to the royal capital, the several affiliated cities around the Lengyan royal family, under the command of different princes, even reached the point of directly fighting each other. The area around the capital is full of gunpowder and smoke, and battles at the legion level often occur."

"Good guy, is it already a mess?"

Hearing this, Lei Xiao gently shook the teacup in his hand, looked at the waves rippling in the cup, smiled slightly and said: "However, this also gave me an excellent opportunity to develop."

"Your lord is right. Now the three princes are already jealous. In addition, the old king is ill and lacks strength. The situation is indeed very beneficial to us."

Qing Shu nodded respectfully, and then responded.

"Okay, Qingshu, you shouldn't stay here for too long, let's stop here for now."

After drinking the tea in the cup, Lei Xiao said again: "As for the meeting with Bai Guo just now, just say that you made a mistake. When you go back, everything will be as usual. If you have any new discoveries, please let me know at any time."

At this stage, Lei Xiao naturally cannot distribute equipment to Qingshu, otherwise, it will only cause problems.

"Obey! Your lord!"

After speaking, Qing Shu stood up and saluted respectfully, and left the room after Bai Guo saw him off.

"Next, naturally it's time to subdue the maid Xinghui."

Smiling faintly at the subordinates beside him, Lei Xiao also stood up, stretched his waist, and said: "I think as the princess's personal maid, she should be aware of the so-called "that thing", what exactly is it?" what is it. "

...

Around the City Lord's Mansion in Kongqing Town, there are idle buildings belonging to the Shanglu Fair.

Under the gorgeous night sky, people come and go in the lively neighborhood, singing and laughing everywhere, a peaceful scene.

As a commercial town, the flow of people in Kongqing Town is already very dense. In addition, Lei Xiao has wiped out the evil mercenaries rampant in the streets, and formulated various investment promotion measures that spend money like water, making this town more and more prosperous recently.

In front of this rather luxurious building, A Ling and A Bing stood at the door, accompanied by a young woman also dressed in black and white maid outfit.

Looking carefully, I saw this young maid with fair and delicate face and neat short hair.

At his waist was a long sword, and his slender and slender body exuded a faint aura, obviously reaching the third level.

This person is Xing Hui, Ariel's personal maid.

As for why Xinghui appeared here, it had to start with Ariel herself.

Ever since she came to Kongqing Town, Ariel, who has been living in the city lord's mansion, is extremely boring.

He had found Ye Cang who was stationed here many times and asked to tell Lei Xiao if he could go out in disguise, but Lei Xiao ruthlessly refused.

This time, Lei Xiao naturally granted the princess' wish.

But the condition is that they can only be accompanied by the two generals of the kingdom, as well as Ye Cang, Lin and Fang Hai.

Of course, there are also sisters Nanxing and Nanyue who have been hiding in the dark.

In this way, with three fourth-tier senior experts and four third-tier peak experts by her side, Ariel's safety can also be greatly guaranteed.

More importantly, the five personal maids, including Xing Hui, were left in the City Lord's Mansion.

The next thing will be easy to handle.

As long as Xinghui is informed that his family has returned to Kongqing Town, the other party will naturally find a way to come out.

"Two sisters, are they... really inside?"

At this time, Xing Hui, who was standing at the door, had a look of expectation on his fair cheeks with light makeup, and said to A Ling and A Bing who were beside him.

"Don't worry, after the lord learned about you, he made a trip himself."

A Ling, who was also slender and tall, smiled and responded.

"Understood."

Nodding gratefully, Xinghui took a deep breath and knocked on the door slowly.

blah blah.

Immediately afterwards, there was a faint sound of footsteps.

The door opened with a "squeak", and a small figure appeared in the entrance, with a puzzled look on his face.
