Chapter 551: Lord and Captain of the Guard

Seeing the lord with a calm face, he casually took out more illusion masks than the royal family reserves, Ariel's starry eyes flickered, and she involuntarily cast a reverent gaze at Lei Xiao.

Although I don't know how the lord did it.

However, just like the elder blacksmith said not long ago, such an astonishing ability is indeed a miracle!

"Okay, then let's start acting according to the original plan."

After distributing the illusion masks, Lei Xiao clapped his hands lightly, and nodded to his subordinates.

"Obey! Your lord!"

A neat and deliberately lowered voice sounded, and all the main force subordinates said in unison.

Then, looking at the seven people including Ye Cang and Chao Yan, they put on the invisibility cloak again and disappeared at the entrance of this dark alley.

Lei Xiao took the remaining six people including Knotweed, Hong Ye, and Ariel, and took his own steps, walking straight towards the rose-colored castle.

It didn't take long for Lei Xiao and the others, who walked lightly, to appear in front of a small courtyard on the side of the rose-colored castle.

Of course, in order to avoid attracting attention, Lei Xiao and the others were still wearing illusion cloaks.

And Bai Wei is wearing an illusion mask, as for her big white tail, it is hidden under a loose ordinary robe.

"Everyone, this is the City Lord's Mansion of Lan Leng Castle, what can I do for you?"

Seeing Lei Xiao and his group, the captain of the heavy-armored guard guarding the gate raised his hand and made a "stop" gesture, asking in a deep voice.

At this time, I saw the guard captain wearing a fully enclosed barrel helmet, with a pair of sharp eyes that were only exposed, looking up and down vigilantly, with a look of scrutiny.

"I'm here from the capital, and I want to see Marquis Rose."

On the other side, under Lei Xiao's signal, Burt took a step forward and responded lightly.

"An envoy from the capital again? This time is really shabby."

Looking at the ordinary clothes on Lei Xiao and the others, the captain of the heavy-armored guards waved his hands impatiently, and then said coldly: "Whether you are true or not, hurry up, our city lord said that you are from the capital. Messenger, don't see him at all!"

For the captain of the guard, whose strength was only at the second level, he obviously couldn't see the depth of Lei Xiao and his party.

Coupled with the usual attire, it was natural to treat Lei Xiao and his party as ordinary people with no strength at all.

"It's just a small guard captain, how rude?"

Hearing the sound, Burt's old face couldn't help showing a touch of anger, but before he could speak again, he was stopped by Lei Xiao who was beside him.

"Your Excellency, Captain, do you mean that there was an envoy from the capital before?"

Slightly raising his eyebrows, Lei Xiao immediately asked.

"So what if it is, so what if it's not? Why should the captain tell..."

Glancing at the plainly dressed Lei Xiao, the captain of the heavily armored soldier stopped abruptly before he could finish his disdainful words, and involuntarily set his eyes on Lei Xiao's hand.

There, there was a large bag of half-opened golden dragons, shining brightly under the bright sunlight, making people's eyes hurt.

"My lord... you are?!"

Looking at the big money bag full of four to five hundred gold dragons, the captain of the heavy armored guards immediately put on the honorifics, and then looked at Lei Xiao, there was no trace of disdain, but it seemed to be seeing himself The old father who has not seen for a long time is as kind.

You know, this is close to his salary for a year of hard work, definitely not a small amount!

"Answer me a few questions, and these are yours."

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao smiled faintly.

It can be clearly judged from the inadvertent words of the other party just now.

Just as our side had speculated before, not long ago, an envoy from the king's capital had apparently come here.

And in the current chaotic situation of fighting for power and profit, it is self-evident which force or forces sent the envoy from the capital.

As for why Lei Xiao made this move, it was naturally to obtain further information on these messengers.

"My lord, please come here with the villain!"

After looking around for a while, the captain of the heavy-armored guard nodded again and again, guiding Lei Xiao and his party to the shadow of an inconspicuous wall nearby.

At this moment, the guard captain's face hidden under the barrel helmet was already full of smiles.

What they were guarding was just a small gate in the outer courtyard of the castle, and there were no other soldiers except their own brothers.

Therefore, even if he pocketed these gold coins, no one would notice.

"Your Excellency Captain, you just said that before us, there were other envoys from the capital who visited here?"

Gently in front of the other party, holding the heavy bag of gold coins, Lei Xiao asked with a smile.

"It's true, my lord!"

Staring straight at the golden dragon in the mouth of the pocket, the captain of the guard gulped.

Then he said without reservation: "As far as I know, three batches of envoys from the capital have come here to look for our Lord City Lord recently, and the last batch was just a week ago!"

"Oh? Do you know what they are here for?"

Nodding his head slightly, Lei Xiao stared straight at the eyes exposed in the captain's helmet, and continued to ask.

"If you go back to an adult, the villain will not know this."

Shaking his head helplessly, the captain of the guards responded: "However, forgive me, these envoys are all dressed up very brightly. At first glance, they look like big shots from the royal capital. They are completely different from your shabby clothes different."

Speaking of this, the captain of the guards, who knew that his words were wrong and was afraid of making Lei Xiao unhappy, quickly added: "Of course, everyone sees a low-key, luxurious and connotative team, which is much better than those ostentatious guys! "

"Your Excellency Captain's vision is quite precise."

Smiling slightly, Lei Xiao changed the subject and asked again: "Then why did you say just now that your Lord City Lord didn't see the envoy from the capital?"

"My lord, the situation is like this..."

Next, the captain of the guards told Lei Xiao everything he knew.

Through his description, Lei Xiao learned about it.

It turned out that the cause of the incident was caused by the third group of messengers a week ago.

At that time, for some reason, Marquis Rose had a big fight with the third group of messengers.

Moreover, he sent someone to forcibly blast the other party out of the castle. Afterwards, he gave an order to never see the envoy of the king's capital again.

"I see, do you know the reason for the quarrel?"

Nodding thoughtfully, Lei Xiao asked again.

"Returning to my lord, I don't know the specific reason, but our city lord seems to have been threatened by the third group of messengers, so he flew into a rage."

Pointing the barrel helmet at Lei Xiao, the captain of the guard said indignantly: "When the first two batches of envoys left, the city lord would have a gloomy face for several days each time, but the third time, the other party dared to directly threaten the city lord." , These guys from the capital of the king are too contemptuous of people!"

"So, these three visits by the envoys of the capital ended up breaking up unhappily?"

Hearing this, Lei Xiao exchanged glances with Ariel at the side, and then spoke.

"Your Excellency is right, exactly."

Pointing the barrel helmet again, the captain of the guards affirmed.

"Okay, you go back first, we will come to you later."

Handing the heavy bag of golden dragons to the opponent, Lei Xiao waved his hands slightly.

"Thank you sir, the villain will go back first!"

On the other side, after receiving the big money bag, the guard captain went back to hide the money in a hurry.

"My lord, it seems that the three batches of envoys from the king's capital should be sent by the three king brothers under him one after another."

When the captain of the guard left happily, Ariel on the side took a step forward, and said with a slight frown.

"The possibility is very high. Moreover, from the response of the captain of the guard just now, it is not difficult to see that the Marquis of Rose seems to remain neutral and has not joined any prince's camp."

Nodding his head slightly, Lei Xiao rubbed his chin and spoke.

"Great, since the opponent has not fallen to other camps, then our chance is coming!"

Seeing that Bai Wei, who had transformed into an ordinary human woman, said happily beside her.

"Not necessarily. Although the Marquis of Rose has excellent wine-making skills, he is still an extremely rare plant-based magic powerhouse. His strength is quite impressive, but his personality is perverted and his behavior is weird. He is definitely not an easy-to-talk guy."

Frowning again, Ariel sighed softly: "If possible, I really don't want to see his unforgettable face again..."

"It seems that Ariel really resists the Marquis Rose."

Noticing this, Lei Xiao smiled slightly, and became more and more curious about this maverick Marquis Rose in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao couldn't help but frowned slightly.

At present, although there is a lot of new information about the Marquis of Roses, there is still no clue about the mysterious monster whose scent suddenly disappeared.

This is undoubtedly a big unknown variable.

"Forget it, since it is an unknown variable, maybe it is not necessarily a bad thing, as long as you proceed with caution."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao nodded to the subordinates at the side, and said, "Okay, it's time for us to reveal our identities."

Next, after returning to the side door guarded by the captain of the guards, Lei Xiao immediately said: "Your Excellency, Captain, you can call the Marquis of Rose to come out now."

"My lord, don't be joking, the villain has already said just now that our city lord will not meet people from the capital..."

This time, the captain of the guards didn't finish his sentence. Under Lei Xiao's instruction, Ariel took off the hood of the illusion cloak.

In the next second, with wavy long curly hair pouring down from the hood, a fair and delicate face wearing a princess crown appeared in front of everyone.

For a moment, under the sunshine in the afternoon, the small crown inlaid with many precious stones, like a hairpin, shone with brilliant light, which made people feel dazzled.

"your Highness?!"

After being stunned for a moment, the captain of the guards and the surrounding guards reacted one after another. On the faces hidden under the barrel helmets, their eyes were wide open, full of disbelief.

Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao nodded in satisfaction.

Before this, Lei Xiao already knew about it.

As the youngest princess of Lengyan, Ariel, who was born with the top golden spoon in her mouth, as the eldest lady among the young ladies, is undoubtedly very famous in Lengyan.

Especially because of its excellent appearance and the doting of the old king, many court painters competed to paint it, and among them, there are many top-notch masterpieces.

This directly made Ariel's magical portraits from childhood to adulthood, without exception, all become popular items in the aristocratic circle, and many copied versions were spread all over Lengyan.

Coupled with the iconic thick wavy long hair and the shiny princess crown, it is reasonable to be recognized by these Guards soldiers at a glance.

After all, most of these guard soldiers whose strength can reach the second level are the retainers of the city lord, or they are simply from low-level noble families.

Compared with ordinary civilians, they naturally know more about Ariel.

"Why? Seeing this princess, why don't you salute quickly?"

Flicking her thick, slightly curly hair, Ariel's face was slightly cold, and she hummed softly.

"See... See Your Highness the Princess!"

The clear sound of armor colliding sounded, and a group of soldiers immediately knelt down on one knee and lowered their heads deeply.

Although they are all soldiers of the Marquis of Rose and have unshakable loyalty, Ariel is, after all, a member of the royal family that rules Leng Yan, and the two sides currently have no antagonistic relationship.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with doing so.

"Get up, everyone."

Nodding her head slightly, Ariel, whose face was full of grace and nobility ~ Vermilion lips parted and said: "Now can I take my princess and his party to meet your city lord?"

Undoubtedly, since being subdued by Lei Xiao, Ariel has never shown such an arrogant and condescending expression in private occasions.

"That's nature ~ ~ that's nature."

After finishing speaking, the Captain of the Guards replied respectfully while ordering his subordinates to open the iron gate of the castle's outer courtyard.

In this way, he was welcomed into the castle garden where the flower beds were full of red roses.

Under the guidance of the captain of the guards, the group came to a pavilion next to the gate of the courtyard, waiting for the arrival of Marquis Rose.

Sitting down on the cleaned wooden chair, Lei Xiao nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the Guards soldiers who hurried to report.

Then he thought to himself in his heart: "It seems that I can finally see the true face of Marquis Rose."

Then, it didn't take long, when Lei Xiao sniffed the refreshing fragrance of flowers around him, while admiring the elegantly maintained garden.

Surrounded by a group of soldiers and maids, an extremely burly figure came into Lei Xiao's eyes.
