Looking past the brightly colored rose garden in front of him, looking at the extremely burly figure in the distance, Lei Xiao couldn't help showing a look of astonishment on his curious face.

Surrounded by castle guards and maids, the leader was at least two meters tall and looked very strong, just like a hill, slowly moving towards him.

"This is the person with the closest body shape to the knotweed I have ever seen."

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao continued to observe.

The person who came was wearing a very eye-catching huge red rose-colored robe, which was obviously tailor-made.

The most striking thing is the appearance and shape of the visitor.

This is a middle-aged man with a face that is three points rougher than a knotweed. There is a faint smile on his clean-shaven square cheeks, and a delicate red rose in his mouth.

Moreover, the standard catwalk comparable to top models is even more enchanting, making Lei Xiao's eyes sharp.

It had to be said that this nondescript and weird strong man in front of him was indeed far beyond his expectations.

"Good guy, this brawny man should be the legendary Marquis Rose and Double Flower, right? Originally, I thought it was a lady with long legs."

Seeing this, the corners of Lei Xiao's mouth twitched involuntarily while being very surprised, thinking to himself.

At this time, Lei Xiao first looked at the stern-faced knotweed beside him, and then at the burly and enchanting man approaching him, and couldn't help showing a look of dumbfounding.

Although the body shapes of the two are very similar, the gap between them is a bit too huge.

"...The most important thing is that neither the title of Marquis of Rose nor the name of Double Flower has anything to do with this rugged and burly man like a hill."

With his lips pursed slightly, Lei Xiao continued to think: "I think I finally understand why Ariel is so afraid of this person."

Thinking of this in a fit of ridicule in his heart, Lei Xiao's eyes shifted and landed on Ariel who was at the side again.

I saw this Leng Yan's fifth princess, also pouted slightly, with a helpless look of goosebumps all over the floor.

In a short while, under the leadership of the enchanting strong man, a group of people had arrived in front of the gazebo where Lei Xiao and the others were.

"I didn't expect it to be Her Royal Highness. Your servant will see Her Highness and welcome Her Highness to visit Lan Leng Castle."

When Ariel approached, a low-pitched tenor bass sounded mixed with yin and yang. Immediately, the enchanting burly man led all the soldiers and servants to kneel down on one knee to Ariel, and saluted together.

However, judging from the swift movement of getting up automatically just after his knees touched the ground, it is obviously not an expression of respect.

At the same time, Lei Xiao, who immediately felt a strong aroma rushing towards his face, found out.

When the other party was speaking, that delicate rose was still suspended in mid-air, which was quite magical.

"Shuanghuaqing's movements are quite quick."

Having said this with a pun, Ariel nodded slightly, and Dai Mei responded with a slight frown.

"Hehe, as a subject loyal to the Lengyan royal family, naturally, Her Highness the Princess cannot be kept waiting for a long time."

Smiling lightly, the extremely burly Marquis Rose pulled out an orchid finger and took off the red rose in his mouth.

Then she handed it to Ariel gracefully, and still said in a weird voice: "I haven't seen you for many years, Her Royal Highness's beauty has really become more and more outstanding, and even her strength has been raised to the level of a fourth-order powerhouse." , really made the ministers feel happy."

"The princess is allergic to pollen recently."

Avoiding the roses handed by the other party, Ariel's brows were almost twisted together, and she politely changed the subject: "I have heard that Lan Lengbao has outstanding people, and the wine it brews is even more outstanding. , seeing this princess today, she really lives up to her reputation."

"Hehe, Your Royal Highness, I appreciate the award. Lan Leng Castle is just a corner of Leng Yan's eastern region, and there is nothing to boast about. I only want to concentrate on wine making and farming, and have nothing else to do."

He conveniently inserted the roses on the skirt of his robe, and the Marquis Rose's eyes fell on Bert and Jubai who were beside him, and he smiled and said, "You two generals of the kingdom, you are safe here."

"Your Excellency the Marquis, you are welcome."

On the other side, Bert and Jubai both nodded slightly and exchanged simple greetings with each other.

"These people are..."

Immediately afterwards, Marquis Rose glanced over Lei Xiao, Knotweed, Hong Ye and Bai Wei with his seemingly inadvertent but extremely sharp gaze, and then asked again.

"This is the guest minister who assists the princess, named Chensha."

After introducing Lei Xiao emphatically, Ariel nodded slightly and continued, "As for the other three, they are all the princess' guards."

"I see."

With a veiled inspection gaze, he stayed on the body of Hu Zhang and Hong Ye again for a moment, Marquis Rose turned to Lei Xiao again, pointed at the orchid flower and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are really young and promising."

"Your Excellency the city lord has won the prize, but it's just that Her Royal Highness has discerned gold and discovered this piece of jade."

With a slight wave of his hand, Lei Xiao also responded with a smile and said, "I am waiting for a sudden visit. If there is any trouble, please forgive me, Your Excellency the City Lord."

At this moment, Lei Xiao understood clearly.

The Marquis of Rose, who seems to be acting strangely, is actually a very alert and well-established figure.

Judging from the words "his ministers only want to concentrate on brewing wine and farming, and have nothing else to do", the other party has obviously guessed their own intentions.

"Hehe, Your Excellency, Keqing, is too polite. If that's the case, then please move to my city lord's mansion, so that I, a small city lord in the countryside, can show my friendship as a landlord."

Speaking of this, the Marquis Rose smiled lightly, then twisted his waist thicker than a big tree trunk, and walked in the front with enchanting catwalks.

In this way, under the guidance of Marquis Rose.

Lei Xiao and his party of seven walked forward in this vast garden full of roses.

It didn't take long before they went straight into the giant rose-colored castle standing not far away.

Walking into the hall of the castle, stepping on the soft red carpet, the first thing that caught Lei Xiao's eyes was a scene of glittering gold everywhere, magnificence and luxury.

In the middle of the hall, there is also a colorful portrait of the Marquis of Rose, painted with magic paint, holding an orchid finger, which is quite conspicuous.

At the same time, a strong scent mixed with the scent of flowers and wine also entered Lei Xiao's nostrils.

"As expected of Lan Lengbao, which has quite a lot of financial resources, compared with this place, even the City Lord's Mansion of Fanyin City is much inferior."

Looking at the magnificent castle hall in front of him, Lei Xiao couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly, thinking to himself.

Next, continue forward along the spacious castle corridors that are elegantly decorated and inlaid with light crystals.

After walking for another minute or two, the group turned into a very spacious reception room.

When the group of people sat down, the Marquis Rose signaled the waiting maids to serve tea, and asked Ariel, "I don't know what your Royal Highness is doing when you come to Lan Leng Castle?"

"It's nothing, just passing by here, just taking a rest by the way."

Shrugging slightly, Ariel said calmly with a calm expression.

"According to my servant, it doesn't seem to be the case."

Randomly fiddled with the red rose that had been removed from the skirt, the Marquis of Rose smiled and said, "If my subject guessed correctly, Her Highness the Princess intends to aspire to the throne of Leng Yan like the other three princes, right?"

At this time, even though Marquis Rose still lowered his head, a more intense smile appeared on his rough face.

Then he said in a startling way: "And the purpose of the Princess's coming to Lan Lengbao is to win over the servants to join the gang, right?"

"You... what are you doing?!"

Hearing that the other party directly stated her real purpose of coming here, Ariel, who was unprepared, immediately became a little at a loss, and subconsciously looked at Lei Xiao who was still calm.

The latter immediately took up the quarrel, and said calmly: "Your Excellency, where did you start your words? With the strength of Your Highness, it is not easy to protect yourself in this troubled world, so how can you aspire to the throne? "

"Your Excellency Ke Qing is too modest."

I saw Marquis Rose leaning on the table next to him with one elbow, supporting his huge head, looking lazily.

He turned to Lei Xiao again and said, "If there is no Your Excellency Ke Qing to assist, maybe it will be like this, but now, the situation is completely different."

"Dare to ask Your Excellency the City Lord, what do you mean by this? Your Excellency the City Lord is a little too high-minded, right?"

Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, and a look of interest appeared on his face.

It has to be said that the Marquis of Rose is obviously much more resourceful than what he had just expected.

"Your Excellency, you don't have to be too modest."

Putting down the delicate rose in his hand, the Marquis of Rose looked straight into Lei Xiao's dark eyes with a sharp gaze, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency and Your Royal Highness, the matter of repelling the Holy Night Army on the border battlefield yesterday, I have already heard about it."

After a pause, Marquis Rose continued to speak leisurely: "To be able to completely defeat the Holy Night Army whose strength is several times higher with 30,000 defenders with low morale is enough to prove that Your Excellency Ke Qing is definitely not an ordinary person."

"Your Excellency, the victory in this battle is mainly due to the fact that Her Royal Highness personally boosted the morale at the front line, and the three generals of the Kingdom, Burt, Jubai, and Bailao, fought **** battles, and I just assisted That's all."

Facing the sharp eyes cast by Marquis Rose, Lei Xiao still had that indifferent expression, and waved his hands slightly.

"In this battle, the role played by Her Majesty the Princess and the three generals of the kingdom cannot be ignored, but if my expectations are correct, the one who played the decisive role on the battlefield is none other than you, Your Excellency, Ke Qing!"

Marquis Rose raised his huge head from the palm he held up earlier, and said seriously.

"Oh? How did you see that?"

Continuing to maintain a faint smile, Lei Xiao spoke gently.

"Very simple addition and subtraction."

Signaling the maids who had just brought the tea to avoid temporarily, Marquis Rose first stretched out a finger and said: "First, from the situation before the frontier battlefield.

Our 30,000 defenders are already guarding the three fortresses including the Mountain Fortress. Facing the menacing Holy Night army, they have no ability to fight back. "

Immediately afterwards, Marquis Rose stretched out his second finger, and continued: "Secondly, Her Royal Highness, Bert, and Jubai, the two generals of the kingdom, despite their own strength, also have a strong appeal.

But the above two points alone are far from being able to repel the Holy Night Army, which is as strong as a cloud. In the face of an absolutely superior enemy force, these are naturally not worth mentioning. Besides, the enemy's chief general , or the Red Devil, the famous general of the Moon Palace of the Holy Night Kingdom known for his cunning and prudence. "

Speaking of this, the Marquis of Rose raised Erlang's legs alluringly, and at the same time, he clenched the **** he had just stretched out into fists the size of sandbags, and continued: "So, the situation is self-evident.

Although I still don't know the specific process of this battle, what is certain is that it is precisely because of the appearance of Your Excellency Ke Qing that the situation of the battle has completely reversed! "

After pondering for a while, the Marquis of Rose added: "In addition, according to the information that came back, there are active figures of our fifth-level powerhouses on the battlefield, but they are not the white knights and Mr. Wu who are loyal to the royal family."

"And if there is a mysterious fifth-order powerhouse by the side of Her Royal Highness, it is not necessary to leave the capital. This, coupled with the fact that Kongqing Town, where the princess is now staying, also has a fifth-order powerhouse. rumors of..."

Taking a deep breath, Marquis Rose involuntarily showed a touch of respect in his gaze towards Lei Xiao.

Then he said slowly: "Thus, if I guess correctly, the real identity of Your Excellency Ke Qing is the newly appointed City Lord of Kongqing, right? And beside your Excellency, there is a powerful fifth-order strongman." By!"

As soon as Marquis Rose's words came out, all the subordinates, including Ariel, couldn't help being moved, and began to exchange glances with each other, while Lei Xiao remained calm~lightnovelpub.net~ Before this, Lei Xiao had already anticipated that, on the surface, he would be guessed as the princess' guest official, and the second-level Kongqing City Lord's superficial identity.

However, what surprised Lei Xiao the most was that Marquis Rose analyzed his attempt to help Ariel seize the throne.

It is conceivable that ~lightnovelpub.net~ if the three princes knew this now, the inevitable battle would probably come earlier.

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao simply didn't hide it.

I saw that he first signaled the knotweed to use his breath to completely isolate the room from the outside world, then nodded slightly and said: "Yes, I am the new City Lord of Kongqing!"

"Is that so?"

Feeling the sudden strong sense of oppression, Marquis Rose swallowed involuntarily, causing a huge wave in his heart.

Being able to come into contact with a fifth-order powerhouse at the Zhenguo level at such a close distance, even he who has worked in the capital for a period of time, has never experienced it before!

After calming down for a while, the Marquis of Rose regained his spirits and said solemnly: "Your Excellency, I am sorry to speak bluntly, but even so, I will still not choose to join your camp!"
