"A very legitimate concern."
Looking at the hesitant look on Jin Wen's fair face, Lei Xiao still kept a faint smile.
Regarding the other party's reaction, Lei Xiao had already expected it.
What I have to do next is undoubtedly to completely dispel the other party's concerns.
He cleared his throat slightly, only to hear Lei Xiao say again: "Master Jin Wen, maybe you are thinking right now, just relying on this corner of Kongqing Town, if you want to resist the attack of nearly 100,000 troops from both the White Knight and the Nightmare Knight , It is obviously a whimsical thing, or it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a dream."
"But don't forget, when Princess Ariel and I went to the mountain fortress to defend against the surging holy night army, neither the enemy nor us would believe that we could win the final victory. Fortress, even the few princes are not optimistic about it, and it has already become a dispensable abandoned child."
Lei Xiao's eyes were piercing, and he continued: "But now, Ariel and I have told everyone with our actions that there are no absolutes in this world, right?"
"Even though that's what I said..."
After listening to Lei Xiao's words, Jin Wen bowed his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and frowned and said: "Your Excellency, even if you and Princess Ariel can be temporarily invincible this time, you can barely protect yourself, but according to Da The prince and the second prince have the temperament of vengeance, the next time you will face an even more violent attack without the slightest struggle."
"Presumably, you have seen the situation on the battlefield today. The second prince, who is hiding his secrets, has begun to make a full-scale attack. No one knows what kind of cards he still holds in his hand."
Speaking of this, Jin Wen hesitated for a moment, and then added: "The white knight is not the only fifth-level powerhouse beside His Royal Highness, even if there is also a fifth-level powerhouse beside you, I'm afraid I can't get any cheap."
"So, is the mysterious expert next to the eldest prince also a fifth-order powerhouse?"
Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully at first, and then said lightly: "Master Jinwen, I think you made a mistake. Although Ariel and I were passively involved in this war this time, we don't It's just for self-protection, and I never planned to do so."
Looking at Jin Wen's more surprised expression, Lei Xiao smiled even more, and continued: "As for me and Ariel, there is only one real purpose, and that is to completely end this meaningless power dispute."
The reason why Lei Xiao revealed all his plans without reservation was to reassure Jin Wen.
Because Lei Xiao clearly understood that from the very beginning, the princes had regarded him as a thorn in their side, especially the eldest prince who was exposed without a doubt, let alone Ariel who had been assassinated many times.
In this case, even if I falsely tell the other party that I and Ariel will not compete for the throne, the other party will never show mercy.
Therefore, it is no longer necessary to conceal the fact of aspiring to the throne.
Furthermore, if he can successfully control the eastern region, he will naturally have to raise the banner of Leng Yan's fifth princess on the bright side, and then announce it to the world, so as to attract more talents to join.
All in all, telling Jinwen or not will not affect the current and future progress of the matter.
"End this power struggle completely?!"
Jin Wen's starry eyes widened, her fair cheeks were full of shock and she said: "Your Majesty, you mean to take Princess Ariel all the way to the capital, and finally seize the Lengyan Throne?!"
"exactly."
Lei Xiao's smile slowly subsided, and he said solemnly: "This intensified power dispute is dragging the Lengyan Kingdom into an endless abyss, and what Ariel and I need to do is to bring everything back together before then." on track."
"I didn't expect you to actually have such a plan..."
While being extremely shocked in his heart, Jin Wen cast awe-inspiring gazes at Lei Xiao and Ai Lier respectively.
At this moment, Jin Wen's heart was full of thoughts and could not be calm for a long time.
Although Jin Wen had brought up this topic when chatting with the white knight just now, it was really just intuition, and he didn't take it too seriously, even Jin Wen himself thought it was a joke.
Because of this, when Lei Xiao personally admitted this point, it can be said that it once again had a great impact on Jin Wen's heart.
"But, why do you have it? The power of those princes is monstrous."
After being extremely shocked, Jinwen's slender eyelashes trembled, and he couldn't help asking the question that the white knight had been puzzled at that time.
"I'm sorry I can't answer that."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows casually and said, "But what I can tell you is that if I can help Ariel repel the huge Holy Night Army, I can also help Ariel become the queen of cold flames."
"How? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Princess Ariel standing in front of you is very likely to be the next Lengyan new king. If you still insist on going your own way and assist the White Knights to attack us, what will happen to you in the end? , I dont need to say more.
Having said that, a smile appeared on Lei Xiao's face again: "On the other hand, if you agree to my proposal, not only will you be able to explore the enchanted area of the Winged Human Race, but what the prince promised you, I will share with you Princess Ariel, I can still promise you the same."
"Your Majesty, you don't have to make a big deal for me. I'm sorry to say it bluntly. Judging from the current situation, you and the eldest prince are not on the same level. The promises you gave are naturally not of the same weight."
Jin Wen first raised her eyebrows, and then said seriously: "But to be honest, I am still willing to believe that Your Excellency Ke Qing and Your Highness the Princess can bring new glory and prosperity to the gloomy Lengyan Kingdom. I am still willing to wait for this little spark, looking forward to the moment when it can start a prairie fire."
"Teacher, so you agree?"
Seeing Xiaoya who had been listening nervously, her starry eyes lit up, and she said excitedly: "It's really great!"
"That's right, but the reason why I agree is because of this guest."
Jin Wen nodded with a smile, and responded: "It is His Excellency Ke Qing and Princess Ariel who let me see a faint dawn in the dark future of the kingdom. For this faint dawn, the teacher is willing to go to keep watch."
After a pause, Jinwen covered her mouth and coughed a few times, and added: "Of course, the promise to explore the barrier area of the Yiren Race still has to be counted."
After finishing speaking, Jin Wen's fair face showed a hint of anticipation and excitement again.
"I'm afraid the last sentence is the point?"
Seeing this, Lei Xiao smiled helplessly in his heart, and then said, "As expected of Master Jin Wen, he made a very wise choice."
Seeing that the lord successfully reached a consensus with Leng Yan's strongest illusion master, all the subordinates including Ariel couldn't help being excited.
"Your Excellency, I'm sorry to say it bluntly. Although I have agreed to your proposal, judging from the current situation, it is impossible for me to entrust my future entirely on you and Princess Ariel."
Jin Wen pondered for a while, and said bluntly: "So, I need an insurance measure, Your Excellency, Your Excellency, please cooperate."
"But it doesn't matter."
Lei Xiao nodded and responded, "I will do my best."
"It's very simple. In order to avoid the suspicion of the eldest prince, I hope that Your Excellency Ke Qing can send someone to fight back instead of withdrawing voluntarily."
Jin Wen raised her brows and said, "Once the battle starts, I will inject energy into the resonance stone. Using this to find me is not a difficult task."
"Understood."
Lei Xiao nodded again without hesitation, and agreed: "I will do it then."
"Your Majesty, you are not afraid of setting a trap together with the white knight to lure the strong men under your command to throw themselves into the trap after you go back next time?"
Looking at Lei Xiao's eyes without a trace of hesitation, a hint of surprise suddenly rippled out from Jin Wen's star pupils.
"From the moment I decided to ask you to meet alone, I have completely believed in you, and I hope you will not let me down."
Lei Xiao smiled slightly, and responded: "Not only me, but also Princess Ariel, General Bert, General Orange, everyone who knows what you usually do thinks so."
Of course, Lei Xiao's remarks can only be described as insincere.
When Jin Wen made this request, Lei Xiao had already considered the possibility of the other party setting a trap.
However, the opponent's camp currently only has the white knight, a fifth-level powerhouse.
And beside him, there were Hu Zhang and Hong Ye, plus all kinds of means on his body, even if the other party set up a trap, it would only be digging his own grave.
At least in small-scale encounters, they can still gain a great advantage against the Great Prince's forces led by the white knight alone.
Under the circumstances of all uncertainties, Lei Xiao would naturally not make any naive actions, after all, what Lei Xiao carried was no longer his own.
"Your Excellency Ke Qing can trust me so much, it really surprises me."
Looking carefully at Lei Xiao's pitch-black eyes without a trace of turbulence, he let out a soft sigh with his brocade pattern and black eyebrows drooping.
Compared with the eldest prince who loves suspicion very much, this young guest is obviously the one who is more convincing and courageous.
After a pause, a look of firmness appeared on the delicate cheeks with brocade patterns: "Your Excellency, I have two small requests, and I hope Your Excellency will agree to them."
"Say it, as long as I can do it."
Looking at Jin Wen's fair-skinned witch's face disguised by the perfect illusion, Lei Xiao nodded again.
"The first request, even if I have already agreed to your Excellency, I will not take action against you and Princess Ariel's forces, but other than that, I hope you will not ask me about the layout of the White Knight and future plans. "
Jin Wen's expression was solemn, and his firmness became stronger and stronger: "Although I don't want the eldest prince to finally aspire to the throne, after all, the white knight is my friend for more than ten years, and it is already too late for me to make a decision not to take action against you and Princess Ariel." I have made a great determination, and I ask for your understanding."
After a pause, Jin Wen added another sentence: "Of course, I will never tell the white knight what your Excellency said tonight, and I naturally hope that you and Princess Ariel can win, but if you even If you can't get over the hurdles, then you won't have any hope of winning the throne."
"That's right, that is to say, you won't take sides?"
Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully, and responded: "It's a very reasonable request, and I can promise you this."
"Thank you for your understanding."
There was a hint of gratitude on Jin Wen's face, and then he said again: "As for the second request, if your Excellency really wins the final victory, please be merciful to the White Knight, he just wants to end this as soon as possible." It's just a dispute, and it doesn't go with the traditional nobles who are fish and meat."
"Sorry, I can't promise you this."
Lei Xiao did not hesitate, and responded decisively: "Through the observation on the battlefield today, I have already understood the powerful strength of the White Knight. If it insists on going its own way or trying to fight a trapped beast, it will be harmful to me and my subordinates." If it poses a threat, I will definitely get rid of it without mercy."
Speaking of this point, Lei Xiao changed the subject, and continued: "However, if he doesn't make things go to the extreme, it's not that there is no room for negotiation."
"After all, he has made great achievements in battle and has made indelible contributions to the Lengyan Kingdom. He is also one of the two fifth-level powerhouses who are loyal to the Lengyan royal family. Princess Ariel and I still hope that we can keep such a talents."
After speaking, Lei Xiao turned his head and looked at Ariel, and got the same answer from the star pupils of the other party.
"Understood, what Your Excellency Ke Qing said makes sense, but I didn't think carefully about it."
Staring at Lei Xiao's same firm expression, Jin Wen's slightly frowned brows immediately stretched out, nodded and said: "I understand what Your Excellency Ke Qing means, and I fully approve of what Your Excellency Ke Qing has done."
"So, the agreement between you and me has been successfully concluded?"
Lei Xiao smiled lightly, and said, "As for how this battle will develop, Master Jin Wen will wait and see."
"Your Majesty, you are welcome."
A smile appeared on Jin Wen's mature and intellectual face, and he nodded.
"Since everything has been finalized, then please, Master Jin Wen, who is actually behind that big tree, please leave first."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, looked at one of the trees in the row at the gate of the courtyard, and said something leisurely.
"Your Majesty's illusion can't be concealed from Your Excellency the Guest."
Embarrassment immediately appeared on Jin Wen's fair cheeks, and at the same time, the "Bin Wen" in front of everyone began to become illusory, and the real body came out from behind the big tree.
The reason why Lei Xiao was able to discover the clue at the first time was naturally because of the knotweed stick by his side.
~Your Excellency Ke Qing, I am pretending to be smart, but I am also thinking about my own safety, so please don't blame me, Your Excellency Ke Qing."Jin Wen walked up to Lei Xiao again with her long legs, still showing embarrassment.
"It's okay, it's just human nature. If it were me, I would take some precautions."
After Lei Xiao finished speaking, he waved his hand at Jin Wen and said, "Okay, in order not to let the white knight notice, Master Jin Wen should return to the camp as soon as possible."
"Understood, Your Excellency Ke Qing, Your Royal Highness, we will meet later."
After Jin Wen finished speaking, she instantly melted into the vast moonlight, as if she had never appeared before.
"Let's go back too."
After confirming that the other party had left, Lei Xiao greeted Lian, Nan Xing, and Nan Yue back, and directly used the city return crystal.
"Wait until the remaining main armies of the two opponents arrive, and then wait for the real battle to start."
