Chapter 551： Lord and Captain of the Guard

Seeing the indifferent Lord Lord, he took out more illusion masks than the royal family reserves, Ariel's star eyes flickered, and she couldn't help but cast a respectful look at Lei Xiao.

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

However, just as the old forging master said not long ago, such an astonishing ability is indeed a miracle!

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

After distributing the illusion mask, Lei Xiao clapped his hands lightly and nodded to the servants.

"Follow your orders! Lord Lord!"

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

Next, looking at Ye Cang, Chaoyan and other seven people, they put on the invisibility cloak again and disappeared at the entrance of this dark alley.

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

It didn't take long, Lei Xiao and others, who were walking lightly, had already appeared 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 where Lan Lengbao's City Lord's Mansion is located, what are you doing?"

Seeing the figure of Lei Xiao and his party, the captain of the heavy armored guards who guarded the gate raised his hand and made a "stop" gesture, and asked in a deep voice.

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

"I'm waiting from the capital to see Marquis Rose."

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

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

Looking at the ordinary clothes on Lei Xiao and others, the captain of the heavy armored guard waved his hand impatiently, and then said coldly: "Whether you are true or not, hurry up, our city lord said that you are from the capital. Messenger, nowhere to be seen!"

For the captain of the guards, who was only at the second level, he obviously couldn't see the depths of Lei Xiao's group.

Coupled with the usual clothes, naturally, Lei Xiao and his party were regarded as ordinary people with no strength at all.

"Just a small captain of the guard, so rude?"

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

"Your Excellency Captain, are you saying that there have been envoys from the Royal Capital before?"

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao immediately asked.

"So what if it is, what if it is not? Why should this captain tell..."

Glancing at the plainly dressed Lei Xiao, the disdainful words of the captain of the heavy armored soldiers stopped abruptly before he finished speaking, and involuntarily, his eyes fell on Lei Xiao's hand.

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

"Sir...you are this?!"

Looking at the big money bag with four or five hundred golden dragons in it, the captain of the heavy armored guard immediately changed his honorific. Then he looked at Lei Xiao again, there was no trace of disdain in his eyes, but he seemed to have seen himself. The old father who hasn't seen for a long time is generally kind.

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

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

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao smiled lightly.

From the other party's inadvertent words just now, it can be clearly judged.

Just as we had guessed before, not long ago, an envoy from the royal capital had obviously come here.

And in the current chaotic situation of competing for power and profit, it is self-evident which envoys from the royal capital are sent by which force or forces.

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

"Sir, please come here with the villain!"

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

At this moment, the face of the captain of the guards hidden under the barrel helmet was already smiling.

What they are guarding is just a small side gate in the outer courtyard of the castle, and there are no other soldiers except the brothers under their command.

As a result, even if he pocketed these gold coins, no one would notice.

"Your Excellency Captain, you just said that before us, other messengers from the capital have visited here?"

Lightly in front of the other party, leaning on the heavy bag of gold coins, Lei Xiao asked with a smile.

"Don't hide it from your lord, that's exactly what it is!"

Staring straight at the golden dragon at the mouth of the bag, the captain of the guard swallowed a mouthful of spit.

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

"Oh? Do you know what they're here for?"

Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao stared straight at the eyes exposed in the helmet of the captain of the guards, and continued to ask.

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

Shaking his head helplessly, the captain of the guard replied: "However, pardon the bluntness, these messengers are all dressed in extremely bright and beautiful clothes. At first glance, they are big figures from the capital, and they are completely different from the shabby dresses of all of you. different."

Having said that, the captain of the guards, who knew that his words were wrong and was afraid of making Lei Xiao unhappy, hurriedly added: "Of course, everyone looks like a low-key, luxurious and connotative team. "

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

With a slight smile, Lei Xiao changed the subject and asked again, "Then why did you say just now that your Lord City Lord has not seen the envoy from the royal capital?"

"Sir, this is the situation..."

Next, the captain of the guards was one-to-one, telling Lei Xiao everything he knew.

Through his description, Lei Xiao learned.

It turned out that the cause of the matter was the third group of messengers a week ago.

That time, for some unknown reason, the Marquis of Rose had a big quarrel with the third group of messengers.

Moreover, he sent someone to force the opponent out of the castle, and after that, he issued an order to never see the envoy of the royal capital again.

"So that's the case, do you know the reason for the quarrel?"

Nodding thoughtfully, Lei Xiao asked again.

"Master Hui, the specific reason is not clear, but our Lord City Lord seems to have been threatened by the third batch of messengers, so he was furious."

Pointing at Lei Xiao's barrel helmet, the captain of the guard said angrily: "When the first two batches of messengers left, the city lord would have a gloomy face for several days each time, but the third time, the other party actually dared to threaten the city lord directly. , these guys from the capital are too despised!"

"So, the final results of the three visits by the envoys from the Royal Capital ended up being unhappy?"

Hearing this, Lei Xiao first glanced at Ariel next to him, and then said.

"Your lord is right, that's exactly what it is."

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

"Okay, you go back first, we'll find you later."

Handing the heavy bag of golden dragons into the opponent's hand, Lei Xiao waved his hand slightly.

"Thank you, sir, the little guy will go back first!"

On the other side, after taking the big money bag, the captain of the guard went back to hide the money.

"Lord Lord, it seems that the three batches of messengers from the capital should have been sent by the three brothers under the command."

When the captain of the guards left happily, Ariel stepped forward and said with a frown.

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

Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao said while rubbing his chin.

"That's great, since the other side didn't fall to other camps, then our chance is coming!"

I saw Bai Wei, who had transformed into an ordinary human woman, was overjoyed.

"Not necessarily. Although this Marquis of Rose has excellent winemaking skills, he is still an extremely rare plant magic powerhouse. His strength is quite good, but his personality is perverse and his behavior is eccentric. He is definitely not a good talker."

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

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

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

Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao's brows could not help but wrinkle slightly.

At present, although I have a lot of new information about this Marquis of Rose, there is still no clue about the mysterious monster whose smell suddenly disappeared.

This is undoubtedly a small unknown variable.

"Well, since it is an unknown variable, it may not necessarily be a bad thing, as long as you act with caution."

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

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

"Sir, stop joking, the villain has said just now that our Lord of the City will not see you from the capital..."

This time, the captain of the guard didn't finish his words. Under Lei Xiao's instruction, Ariel had already taken off the hood of the illusion cloak.

The next second, with the wavy, slightly curly hair pouring down from the hood, a delicate white face wearing a princess crown appeared in front of everyone.

For a time, under the sunlight in the afternoon, like a hairpin, on the small crown inlaid with many gems, a brilliant light shone, which made people feel dazzled.

"……your Highness?!"

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

Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.

Before that, Lei Xiao already knew about it.

As Leng Yan's youngest princess, Ariel, who was born with the top golden spoon, is undoubtedly the eldest among the eldest ladies, and is extremely famous among Leng Yan.

Especially because of the good looks and the doting of the old king, a group of court painters competed to paint. Among them, there are many top and excellent masterpieces.

This has directly made Ariel's magical portraits from childhood to adulthood, without exception, all of which have become popular in the aristocratic circle, and many imitation versions are spread all over Leng Yan.

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

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

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

"What? When you see this princess, don't you salute quickly?"

With a flick of her thick, slightly curly hair, Ariel's face was slightly cold, and she snorted softly.

"See... See Her Royal Highness!"

The crisp armor collision sounded, and the soldiers immediately knelt down on one knee and lowered their heads deeply.

Although they are all personal soldiers of Marquis Rose, with unshakable loyalty, Ariel is a member of the royal family that rules Leng Yan, and the two sides are not currently opposed.

So, of course, there is nothing wrong with doing this.

"Get up."

Nodding slightly, her face was full of graceful and noble Ariel again The red lips slightly opened: "Now can I bring this princess and her party to meet your city lord?"

There is no doubt that since being subdued by Lei Xiao, Ariel has never shown such an arrogant and condescending expression in private.

"That's nature, that's nature."

After speaking, the captain of the guard replied respectfully while instructing his subordinates to open the iron gate of the outer courtyard of the castle.

In this way, I was welcomed into the castle garden full of red roses in the flowerbed.

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

Sitting down on the cleaned wooden chair, Lei Xiao looked at the soldiers of the Guards who hurried to report, and nodded with satisfaction.

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

Next, it didn't take long, while Lei Xiao sniffed the refreshing fragrance of the surrounding flowers, while admiring this elegantly maintained garden.

Surrounded by a team of soldiers and a team of maids, an extremely burly figure caught Lei Xiao's eyes.
