A moment later, Carol, still dressed in armor, reappeared in front of Lei Xiao led by Ed.
At this time, when the female garrison captain of Shuiyue City saw Lei Xiao sitting on the throne above him.
Hastily bowed and saluted, with a more respectful expression than before, and said: "See you, my lord!"
There is no doubt that the status of this young big shot is self-evident if he can let the city lord give up his seat.
Moreover, when in the enchantment area.
The strong energy displayed by this big man left a very deep impression on her, which can only be described as horror!
"Captain Carol, you don't have to be polite."
Raising his hand slightly, Lei Xiao picked up the white porcelain cup beside him, and first took a sip of the fragrant tea that Faxia had just brewed.
Then he said: "I heard that you once served under the command of General Shengguang Jubai. How much do you know about this general of the kingdom?"
"My lord, when General Jubai just became a captain, the villain was already under her command."
On the other side, Carol lowered her head again, and responded without reservation: "For many years.
We have experienced nearly a hundred battles from the unfallen fortress in the extreme north of the Cold Flame Kingdom, to the rainforest fortress in the extreme south, and then to the border battlefield with the Holy Night Kingdom in the east.
It was not until General Jubai returned to the capital and was named General of the Kingdom that they were forced to separate.
Because those high-ranking dignitaries in the royal capital obviously didn't want a kingdom general to have too many cronies around them, as that would undoubtedly threaten their power. "
"I see." With a slight nod, Lei Xiao gently put down the teacup in his hand and continued to listen.
"My lord, because the Orange White General is only the adopted daughter of the Earl's family, she was originally born as a commoner.
Later, by virtue of his military achievements, he was awarded the title of nobleman, belonging to Leng Yan's cutting-edge nobleman.
Therefore, he has not been favored by other kingdom generals with orthodox aristocratic blood, as well as dignitaries in the capital.
Of course, there is no trust, which is also an important reason why the villain was forced to leave the capital. "
I saw that Carol still kept her head bowed and continued to introduce.
"Understood." Hearing this, Lei Xiao stared at the steaming teacup next to him, showing a thoughtful expression.
Judging from the information we currently have.
Regarding the background of General Shengguang Jubai, it is undoubtedly similar to the situation of General Burt of the Great Axe before, and they are all unpopular existences in the capital.
It's no wonder that these two finally chose to follow Princess Ariel, who was the weakest.
Thinking about this, Lei Xiao pondered for a while, and asked again: "Captain Kaluo, what else do you know about General Shengguang Jubai?"
"Returning to my lord, as far as I know, General Jubai has an enemy in the Cold Flame Kingdom, but due to various reasons, General Jubai has been unable to kill this enemy."
On the other side, Carol's sassy face was full of solemnity, and she continued to respond.
"Oh? There is such a thing?" Hearing this, a curious expression appeared on Lei Xiao's face, motioning for Carol to continue.
"My lord, this matter has to start with General Jubai's life experience."
At this moment, Carol took a deep breath, and then said: "Just like what the villain said just now.
General Orange White was originally an orphan who grew up in a monastery in Red Arrow Town.
Later, fortunately, she was adopted by the family of the town lord of Chijian Town, who had no children under her knees. Only then did she officially become the adopted daughter of the Earl's family, and she was vigorously cultivated by the family.
However, even though the lord of Chijian Town is an earl family of the Lengyan Kingdom.
But the family has already declined, and Chijian Town itself is barren, and it is just a little-known fishing town.
Therefore, no matter in terms of financial resources or strength, compared with other noble territories, it is undoubtedly pitifully weak.
However, General Jubai's own cultivation talent was extremely outstanding, which made Chijian Town famous at that time. "
"So Jubai was born in Chijian Town?" Hearing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help showing a look of deep thought.
Lei Xiao once knew some information about Chijian Town.
This town is located in the southeast of Mailan Town, just south of the ruins of the ancient battlefield. It is a small town built by the river.
And the river next to the small town was the downstream of the rushing river between Kongqing Town and Kongqing Town.
Therefore, the location is not very far from one's own territory.
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.
On the other side, Carol's eyes were gloomy, and she continued: "However, even though it is such a small town that is not rich, it is still coveted by people with ulterior motives.
In the end, the residents of Chijian Town and the family of General Jubai's adoptive parents were killed. "
"Captain Carol, are you referring to the bandit robbery five years ago?"
Hearing this, after pondering for a moment, Lei Xiao suddenly revealed a look of enlightenment.
He murmured to himself in his heart: "I remember hearing Xuanyue, who is from Mailan Town, mention it.
Five years ago, Chijian Town, which was about three days' carriage ride away from Mailan Town, encountered a large-scale robbery by bandits.
As a result, the defense forces including the city lord's family were wiped out until the Lengyan royal family re-divided the town under the jurisdiction of other nobles.
As for the specific situation at that time, Xuan Yue was not clear. After all, there was an ancient battlefield surrounded by mountains between the two cities, and there was almost no communication between them.
However, the incident five years ago was indeed a sensation in the surrounding area. "
"My lord, in fact, the time five years ago was not robbed by bandits, but by a group of professional soldiers."
On the other side, Carol took a deep breath, and then said: "Back then, after hearing the news.
In addition to being shocked, General Jubai, who was still the captain of the battalion, immediately brought a few of our cronies back to Chijian Town for investigation.
At the beginning, after asking the residents of the town, we learned that the group of sudden attackers were indeed dressed as ordinary bandits.
However, after breaking through the city gate, these people rushed directly to the City Lord's Mansion. The goal seemed to be very clear. This immediately aroused our suspicion.
After all, compared to the City Lord's Mansion, which is the most heavily guarded, the combined wealth of the few rich merchants in the area is definitely not a small amount.
But until the menacing bandits managed to leave, they didn't take a step closer to other mansions. "
"Indeed." Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and thoughtfully said: "It seems that this so-called robbery is just an illusion."
"Your Excellency's words are very true." With a light sigh, Carol continued: "After inferring that something was wrong, we were only skeptical, and there was no substantive evidence.
Finally, until we stumbled across a surviving wounded soldier in a resident's home.
According to the wounded soldier who had lingering fears, those bandits were not only powerful but also ruthless.
Moreover, the organization is strict and the command system is perfect. Obviously, they are not ordinary bandits.
More importantly, during the fight, the wounded soldier also recognized a few so-called masked bandits, who were the elite soldiers of Songta City next door! "
"Pine Tower City?" Hearing this, Lei Xiao once again showed a thoughtful expression.
Regarding Pine Tower City, he also heard Xuan Yue's introduction.
This medium-sized city is located in the south of Chijian Town, and is already relatively close to the border between Lengyan and Shengye.
In the surrounding area, the strength can be said to be extremely impressive, and it is an existence that stands out from the crowd.
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao stroked his chin and said thoughtfully: "So, those so-called bandits are actually the elite soldiers of Songta City in disguise?"
"My lord, that's right." Nodding slightly, Carodia frowned, and continued: "After that, through a series of investigations, we learned.
It turned out that the attack happened half a month ago.
Marquis Rocky, the lord of Pine Tower City, once discussed with the adoptive father of the lord of Red Arrow Town, General Orange White, about raising water monsters and monsters in the waters of Red Arrow Town.
This kind of water monster, the magic beads produced in its body are the necessary materials for several kinds of refining first-order potions, and their value is very high.
However, his adult strength is at the peak level of the first order, which is simply unmatched by ordinary people, and he is extremely violent and violent.
In history, there have been many incidents where people reaped the fruits of their own lives because of breeding such ferocious monsters.
Therefore, the adoptive father of the orange-white city lord would not allow such a ferocious monster to appear in his city.
Compared with a lot of wealth, the orange-white adoptive father of the city lord obviously cares more about the safety of the residents in the city.
Speaking of this, Carol sighed again, and continued: "But it is precisely because of this that this declining earl's family has ushered in a catastrophe."
"So, after getting rid of the obstructive adoptive father Jubai.
Later, the person who took over Red Arrow Town must be someone related to the Marquis of Rocky, or maybe the Marquis of Rocky himself?
Moreover, there must be a large number of dangerous bead monsters in the current Chijian Town. "Lei Xiao, who was sitting on the throne directly opposite, nodded slightly and murmured.
"Your Excellency is right."
On the other side, Carol still nodded sadly, and then said: "Currently, the jurisdiction of this city is in the hands of the family of the Marquis of Rocky.
And Chijian Town has also become a cash cow for the Marquis of Rocky's family after raising the Bead Monster on a large scale.
Even though a large number of residents of Chijian Town die because of this every year, all of this will only become the talk and jokes of these big shots after dinner.
All in all, after a series of investigations, General Orange White and several of our cronies finally confirmed that this matter was done by Marquis Rocky.
This seemingly sanctimonious hypocrite not only completely slaughtered the family of General Orange White's adoptive parents.
Moreover, the monastery where General Jubai grew up, who had fought with the City Lord's Mansion to the last moment, was set ablaze, and the means were extremely ruthless.
Let General Orange and White, who had already lost his home once, lose his second home again. "
"Understood." Hearing this, Lei Xiao frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "If my prediction is right.
The reason why Ju Bai didn't kill this enemy before now, presumably the power behind him must be huge, right? "
"Your Excellency is right again." Nodding slightly, Carol continued: "Behind the Marquis of Rocky, standing behind is His Royal Highness, the Eldest Prince of the Lengyan Royal Family!
Coupled with his own strength, he is also at the level of a fourth-tier senior expert, almost on par with General Orange White, and there are many masters around him.
Therefore, even though General Jubai clearly understood that this enemy was right in front of his eyes, he still had no choice but to grit his teeth silently and keep everything in his heart.
What's even more exasperating is that, under General Jubai's repeated questioning, this guy actually admitted what he did, and then laughed out loud without any scruples..."
Having said that, Carol clenched her fist tightly, and her sassy face was full of anger.
"So that's how it is." Hearing this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, then waved his hands and said, "Okay, let's go here, Captain Carol, let's go back to rest early."
"Yes, my lord." On the other side, Carol saluted Lei Xiao and Ed successively, and then left with fists in their hands.
A moment later, when only the subordinates of one's own side were left in the hall again.
With a plan in mind, Lei Xiao first drank the tea in the cup, and then asked Ed to call the three elders of the Fuyue family over.
Next, after some beating and intimidation, he watched the three elders who were frightened leave.
Lei Xiao and his party were under Ed's guidance.
In the banquet hall of the castle, I ate some seafood meals with the characteristics of Shuiyue City, and then wandered around this charming city.
Finally, it returned to the hall just now.
Moreover, during this process, Lei Xiao also gave Fa Xia and Ah Bing, who hadn't returned home for a long time, a few hours off, allowing them to spend time with their families.
"Master Ed, everything in Shuiyue City will be entrusted to you. If you have anything to do, please contact me in time~www.mtlnovel.com~ De, nodded slightly, and then motioned to the other subordinates to surround him.
"Obey! Please rest assured, my lord!" Hearing this, Ed quickly bowed and saluted with a respectful expression on his face.
"Okay, then we'll leave." After speaking, Lei Xiao's heart moved, and a piece of city return crystal that felt cold to the touch suddenly appeared on the palm of his hand.
Next, without hesitation, Lei Xiao crushed the cyan crystal stone he had just taken out.
In the next second, the strange energy inside the crystal swept out instantly, completely enveloping Lei Xiao and his party.
With the passage of time, under the watchful eyes of Ed, the cyan light curtain around Lei Xiao and his party also began to become thicker.
Finally, a white light flashed past, and the people on Ed's side completely disappeared in the hall.
