Chapter 553: The murderous intent of Lan Leng Fort emerges

"Your Excellency, City Lord, let's not talk about joining the faction."

Smiling slightly, Lei Xiao looked at the Marquis of Rose in front of him with great interest, and asked, "I'm curious, how did you deduce that I want to help Her Highness Princess aspire to the throne?"

"In the beginning, I didn't think of this level."

Nodding to Lei Xiao, Marquis Rose picked up the red rose on the table again.

One side responded: "Originally, based on what I know about Her Royal Highness, there is nothing worth noting about helping the fortress defenders and repelling the invading enemies."

"After all, as far as I know, Her Royal Highness has always had a strong sense of responsibility since she was a child, especially when dealing with ordinary people, and this is exactly what the other princes don't have."

At this time, Marquis Rose glanced at Ariel first, and then continued: "However, after knowing the purpose of everyone's coming here, combined with yesterday's border battlefield, I have a new speculation."

"Yesterday's border battlefield battle, you all have a hidden purpose, and that is to further enhance Princess Ariel's reputation!"

Taking a deep breath, the Marquis of Rose concluded: "From this, combined with the fact that you are trying to win me over, I have come to a bold conclusion, that is, Your Excellency Ke Qing is going to help Her Highness Princess aspire to the throne and join the current power Go to the competition!"

"I see. Based on the news of the frontier battlefield we got yesterday and our visit today, did we finally come to this conclusion?"

Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

"That's right, the reason why Your Excellency Ke Qing asked such detailed questions is because he was worried that the other three princes would find out and then involve himself, Her Highness the Princess, and Kongqing Town in the power vortex, right?"

Having said that, Marquis Rose paused for a moment, changed his previous words, and continued: "No, since Your Excellency Keqing is going to join this power struggle, he has already thought of this, so what you are really worried about? , is the question of when the Great War will begin!"

"Your Excellency's deduction is quite reasonable."

Raising his eyebrows noncommittally, Lei Xiao continued: "Then do you think the three princes have noticed this like you have?"

"I'm guessing, at least in the next few days, it's unlikely."

Gently shaking the red rose in his hand, the Marquis of Rose responded: "Forgive me, as long as the nobles who know something about the royal family know that, compared with the other three princes, Her Royal Highness's power is almost negligible."

"For the three princes, Her Royal Highness, who also has the right to inherit the throne, is an obstacle to the peak of power and must be eradicated sooner or later, but it is not the most important right now. Otherwise, Her Royal Highness will not be able to leave the king smoothly. All."

Nodding to Lei Xiao, the Marquis of Rose said again: "So, on the premise that the other party clearly despises Her Highness, I am afraid that the arrogant princes will not take Her Highness seriously for a while."

"I see."

Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, signaling the other party to continue talking.

"However, Your Excellency Ke Qing must have expected it. Even if the three princes don't know that you are trying to expand the sphere of influence, the fact that the fifth-rank powerhouse appears on the battlefield is enough to arouse the high vigilance of the three princes."

I saw the Marquis of Rose flicking his orchid finger, while casually playing with the rose in his hand.

While continuing: "As a result, the other party will definitely send a large number of spies to Kongqing Town to investigate, and when the other party gathers the information and confirms that there are indeed fifth-tier powerhouses, then, no matter whether you are trying to aspire to the throne or not, I'm afraid a big battle is inevitable."

After a pause, Marquis Rose added: "However, Your Excellency Keqing's move in the border battlefield is indeed very mysterious. It not only perfectly resolved the border crisis, but also greatly increased the prestige of Her Highness the Princess."

Continuing to fiddle with the rose in his hand, the Marquis of Rose continued: "It is conceivable that in the current extremely chaotic situation, if the Kingdom of Holy Night breaks through the fortress of the mountain castle, it will drive straight into my Lengyan territory.

Then, the main battle faction of the Holy Night Kingdom, who has gained the sweetness, will surely persuade the new Holy Night King to send hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of troops. It's even harder to control. "

"After all, the Holy Night Kingdom is not the only opponent of the Cold Flame Kingdom, including the Unfallen Fortress in the Far North where Her Royal Highness the Third Princess is stationed, and the Rainforest Fortress in the Far South. It has not been peaceful in recent years."

Smiling at Lei Xiao, the Marquis of Rose said again: "Once it develops to such an irreversible point, your opponents will not only be in the cold flame, but also need to face them at the same time. There are several powerful countries such as the Holy Night Kingdom, which is quite cold."

Taking a deep breath, Marquis Rose stood up from his seat, bowed to Lei Xiao and Ai Lier respectively, and solemnly said: "I have to admit that it is thanks to the actions of Your Excellency Ke Qing and His Highness the Princess that this Only then did Leng Yan avoid a terrifying catastrophe caused by the flames of war!"

At this time, one can clearly feel that the Marquis Rose in front of him, no matter in appearance, demeanor, or tone of voice, has lost the enchanting and yin-yang aura just now, but has a little more respect.

On the other side, upon hearing this, all the subordinates couldn't help casting reverent glances at Lei Xiao.

"It's no big deal, thanks to Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao said with a smile.

"All in all, from my point of view, everything is as expected by Your Excellency Keqing. Before the three princes fully understand the context of the matter, it is the best time for Her Royal Highness to develop!"

Taking another deep breath, Marquis Rose nodded to Lei Xiao.

"Okay, now that the matter has been completely clarified, let's go back to the topic just now."

Continuing to maintain a gentle smile, Lei Xiao changed the subject and said: "Your Excellency, the reason why you were able to guess the purpose of our coming here at the first time is because before this, the envoys of the three princes have already arrived. Have you been here?"

"This... How did Your Excellency Ke Qing know?"

Hearing the sound, Marquis Rose couldn't help showing a look of surprise on his rough and square face, and blurted out.

"It's not important. What's important is that as far as I know, the city lord and the envoys of the three princes didn't seem to be having a good time."

Nodding his head slightly, Lei Xiao still had a faint smile on his face, as if he had seen through everything about Marquis Rose.

"To tell you the truth, Your Excellency, it is true."

Being stared at by Lei Xiao's seemingly peaceful eyes, the Marquis Rose simply didn't hide anything.

Then he snorted enchantingly, and said in a disdainful tone: "Those guys from the capital, all of them have a high-spirited look, and if they don't speculate in three sentences, they are exactly the same threats. After all, its just a dog beside its master.

After a pause, the Marquis of Rose said seriously: "Your Excellency, although you are completely different from those guys, my answer will not change. Lan Lengbao is just a corner of the eastern region, and I am only loyal to the current Leng Yan. The king will not be involved in any power disputes."

"Understood."

Hearing this, Lei Xiao didn't say anything else, but changed the subject again, seemingly inadvertently, and asked again: "Your Excellency, may you invite us to have a look at the monsters you raise?"

"Warcraft?"

On the other side, the Marquis of Rose responded with a puzzled expression: "Your Excellency, where did you start your words? Lan Leng Castle is a wine-making town, and it has extremely strict requirements for the brewing process. , not to mention monsters in the city, even ordinary animals are not allowed to be raised at will.

"So that's the case, I just asked casually."

Staring closely at the suspicious eyes on Marquis Rose's rough face, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.

Needless to say, the reason why Lei Xiao asked such a question was naturally to confirm whether the mysterious monster was raised by the other party.

Judging from the confused expression of the other party, the other party obviously knew nothing about it.

"Since the mysterious monster in the city is not even known to the Marquis of Rose, and the control over animals in the city is extremely strict, then where did this mysterious monster come from? Where is it now?"

At this time, Lei Xiao couldn't help showing a look of doubt on his face, and continued to think.

"Having said that, it is not difficult to see from the current situation that the Marquis of Rose is still in a neutral state, and he is quite witty. He is a rare talent. Therefore, we must find a way to subdue him."

Nodding thoughtfully, Lei Xiao continued to think: "However, judging from his resolute attitude, if he uses force to force him, the effect may be minimal.

And if the other party insists on not following, with the other party's quick-witted mind and Lan Lengbao's impressive financial resources, if his position changes, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble to his side in the future, so naturally this risk cannot be taken. "

Realizing this, a cold light flashed involuntarily in Lei Xiao's dark eyes, and he thought to himself: "It seems that if there is really no way, just like Ju Bai said, this person must be If you stay, you must avoid future troubles."

Just thinking of this, Lei Xiao was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly revealed a look of enlightenment.

Then he suddenly realized in his heart: "I know! Since I have the idea of killing, then there must be someone among the three princes' envoys who also has the same idea.

Thinking about it this way, could it be that the mysterious and dangerous beast that Bai Wei spoke of was a murderous intention secretly planted by a certain group of messengers? "

Thinking about this, Lei Xiao regained his energy, and said to the enchanting man in front of him again: "Your Excellency, City Lord, I have a question, please explain it to me."

"Your Majesty Keqing, you are serious. As long as you don't mention the matter of soliciting, even if there are a hundred questions, I will know everything."

Holding an orchid finger and sniffing the red rose in his hand, the Marquis of Rose nodded without hesitation.

"As the Lord of the City knows, at present, the power dispute centered on the capital of Lengyan King has already radiated to the whole area of Lengyan, which naturally includes the eastern area of Lengyan."

With a slight smile, Lei Xiao immediately said: "For example, if you are the leader of a party fighting for power, once the olive branch I cast is broken by a guy who doesn't know how to praise, and in order to let this guy who is not flattering, What would you do if you didn't accept an olive branch from another opponent?"

"this"

Hearing this, Marquis Rose immediately reacted, and a hint of vigilance could not help appearing on his rough face.

Then he said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, Keqing, are you threatening me? Although my strength is only at the fourth level, I also have a life-saving trump card, so I won't let you succeed easily!"

"Your Excellency, with your intelligence, do you think I will tell you this in advance if I want to do something?"

Lei Xiao continued to smile and responded calmly.

"Your Majesty, do you mean... one of the three waves of envoys has been secretly planning to get rid of me?"

Hearing the sound, Marquis Rose's rough face suddenly showed a look of enlightenment. He threw the red rose in his hand on the table, and stood up with his huge body.

"Is there no such possibility?"

Also stood up from the seat, Lei Xiao responded while exercising his muscles and bones.

"Your Excellency, all this is just your guesswork, right?"

After pondering for a while, the Marquis of Rose continued: "Furthermore, my Lan Leng Castle is heavily guarded. There are five well-trained second-tier guard squadrons inside and outside this castle alone, patrolling day and night and standing guard. I'm afraid that even if the other party has this idea, they won't succeed easily."

Speaking of this, the Marquis of Rose picked up the orchid finger, picked up the red rose on the table again, looked at his nose and smelled it, and said: "Your Excellency, if you want to use this method to lure me into submission, I'm afraid Its a little pretentious

However, Marquis Rose's words were not finished yet.

The entire hall ~ where everyone was sitting suddenly trembled without warning.

For a moment, in the spacious and luxurious living room, the vacant tables and chairs all shifted quite a bit, making a "thump, thump, thump" sound.

The trembling lasted for about five or six seconds before calm was restored.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Wei at the side moved her nose on her white cheeks, and while she looked solemn, she immediately came to Lei Xiao's side, bowed and said, "My lord, that strange and dangerous monster smell suddenly Appeared!"

"Dangerous beast smell?"

Hearing Bai Wei's description, Marquis Rose's square face showed a nervousness again, and asked Lei Xiao, "Your Majesty, what's going on?"

"It seems that I don't seem to be smart."

On the other side, Lei Xiao smiled faintly, and then said, "Your Excellency, City Lord, this time, you are really in trouble."
