Lord of the People: My Talent is 100 Million Points Strong

Seeing the lord with a calm expression, casually taking out more illusion masks than the royal family had in stock, Ariel's starry eyes flickered and she couldn't help but cast a look of reverence 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 truly a miracle!

"Okay, let's start acting according to the original plan."

After distributing the illusion masks, Lei Xiao clapped his hands gently and nodded to the subordinates.

"As you command! Lord Lord!"

Neat and deliberately low voices sounded, and all the main forces and subordinates spoke in unison.

Next, he watched Ye Cang, Chao Yan and the other seven people put on their invisibility cloaks again and disappear at the entrance of this dark alley.

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

It didn't take long for Lei Xiao and others, who were walking lightly, to appear 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 others still wore illusion cloaks.

Bai Wei was wearing an illusion mask, and her big white tail was hidden under a loose ordinary robe.

"Everyone, this is the city lord's palace of Blue Cold Castle. What do you do for me?"

Seeing the figures of Lei Xiao and his group, the captain of the heavily armored guard guarding the door raised his hand and made a "stop" gesture while asking in a deep voice.

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

"We are coming from the royal capital and want to see the Marquis of Rose."

On the other side, at Lei Xiao's signal, Bert took a step forward and responded calmly.

"An envoy from the royal capital again? This time it's 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 false, leave quickly. Our city lord said that you are from the royal capital. The messenger is nowhere to be seen!”

For the captain of the Guards, whose strength was only at the second level, it was obvious that he could not see the slightest bit of the depth of Lei Xiao and his group.

Coupled with their ordinary clothes, they naturally regarded Lei Xiao and his group as ordinary people with no strength at all.

"He's just a small guard captain, how can he be so rude?"

Hearing the sound, a trace of anger appeared on Bert's old face. However, before he could speak again, he was stopped by Lei Xiao who was standing beside him.

"Captain, are you saying that envoys from the royal capital have come before?"

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao asked immediately.

"So what if it is, so what if it isn't? Why should I, the captain, tell..."

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

There, there was a large, half-open bag of golden dragons, shining brightly in the bright sunshine, which made people's eyes hurt.

"Sir...what is this?!"

Looking at the big money bag with four to five hundred gold dragons, the captain of the heavy armored guard immediately changed his words of honor. Then when he looked at Lei Xiao, there was no trace of disdain in his eyes. Instead, he seemed to see himself. He is as kind as an old father whom he has not seen for a long time.

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 and these are yours."

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao smiled lightly.

It can be clearly judged from the other party's unintentional words just now.

Just as we had speculated before, it was clear that envoys from the royal capital had arrived not long ago.

In the current chaotic situation of fighting for power, it is naturally self-evident which force or forces sent this envoy from the royal capital.

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

"Sir, please come here with me!"

After looking around, the captain of the heavy armored guard nodded repeatedly and guided Lei Xiao and his party to the shadow of an inconspicuous wall nearby.

At this moment, the guard captain's face, hidden under his bucket helmet, was already smiling.

What they were guarding was only a small side gate in the outer courtyard of the castle. Apart from the brothers under their command, there were no other soldiers.

Therefore, even if he pockets these gold coins, no one will notice.

"Captain, you just said that there have been other envoys from the royal capital here before us?"

Weighing the heavy bag of gold coins gently in front of the other party, Lei Xiao asked with a smile.

"To be honest, sir, that's exactly what it is!"

Staring straight at the golden dragon at the mouth of the bag, the Guards Captain swallowed.

Then he said without reservation: "As far as I know, three groups of envoys from the royal capital have come here to find our Lord of the City in the recent period, and the last group was exactly a week ago!"

"Oh? Do you know what they are here for?"

Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao stared at the eyes exposed in the guard captain's helmet and continued to ask.

"As for the adults, the villain will not know this."

Shaking his head helplessly, the captain of the Guards responded: "However, with all due respect, these envoys are all dressed up very brightly. At first glance, they look like big shots from the royal capital, but they are completely different from the shabby dress of everyone." different."

At this point, the captain of the Guards, who knew that his words were wrong and was afraid of making Lei Xiao unhappy, quickly added: "Of course, at first glance, you can see that the team is low-key, luxurious and meaningful, and it is much better than those guys who are superficial! "

"Your Majesty the captain's vision is quite accurate."

Smiling slightly, Lei Xiao changed the topic and asked: "Then why did you say just now that your Lord City Lord did not see the envoy from the royal capital?"

"Sir, the situation is like this..."

Next, the captain of the Guards told Lei Xiao everything he knew.

Through his description, Lei Xiao learned.

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

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

Moreover, they sent people to force the other party out of the castle. Afterwards, they issued an order never to see the envoy from the royal capital again.

"I see. Do you know the reason for the quarrel?"

After nodding thoughtfully, Lei Xiao asked again.

"Sir, I don't know the specific reason. However, our city lord seems to have been threatened by the third group of envoys, so he became furious."

Pointing his bucket helmet at Lei Xiao, the guard captain said angrily: "When the first two batches of envoys left, the city lord would be gloomy for several days each time, but the third time, the other party actually dared to directly threaten the city lord. , these guys from the royal capital look down on people too much!"

"So, the final result of these three visits by the royal capital's envoys was that they all ended on bad terms?"

Hearing this, Lei Xiao first looked at Ariel beside him, and then said.

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

Pointing his barrel helmet again, the Guards Captain confirmed.

"Okay, you go back first, we will come back to you later."

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

"Thank you, sir, I will go back first!"

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

"Lord, it seems that the three groups of envoys from the royal capital should be sent by my three royal brothers."

When the guard captain left happily, Ariel took a step forward and said with a slight frown.

"The possibility is very high, and from the response of the Guards Captain just now, it is not difficult to see that the Rose Marquis still seems to remain neutral and has not joined any prince's camp."

Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao rubbed his chin and spoke.

"Great, since the other party has not defected to other camps, then our opportunity is about to come!"

Bai Wei, who had transformed into an ordinary human woman, said happily on the sidelines.

"Not necessarily. Although the Rose Marquis has excellent wine-making skills, he is also an extremely rare plant magic powerhouse with considerable strength. However, he has a perverse personality and weird behavior. He is by no means an easy guy to talk to."

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

"It seems that Ariel is extremely resistant to this Rose Marquis."

After noticing this, Lei Xiao smiled slightly and became more and more curious about this maverick Rose Marquis.

Then, Lei Xiao's brows couldn't help but frown slightly.

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

This is undoubtedly a big unknown variable.

"Well, since it is an unknown variable, it may not necessarily be a bad thing. Just be cautious."

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 Guards Captain, Lei Xiao immediately said: "Captain, now you can go and ask the Rose Marquis to come out."

"Sir, please stop joking. I just said that our city lord will not see anyone coming from the royal capital..."

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

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

For a time, under the sunshine of the afternoon, the small crown, which was like a hairpin and inlaid with many gems, shone brilliantly, making people feel dazzled.

"……your Highness?!"

After being stunned for a moment, the Guards Captain and the surrounding Guardsmen reacted one after another. The faces hidden under the barrel helmets had wide eyes and expressions of disbelief.

Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.

Lei Xiao had already understood this before.

As the youngest princess of Leng Yan, Ariel was born with the best golden spoon in her mouth. As the eldest among the eldest ladies, she is undoubtedly extremely famous among Leng Yan.

Especially because of his excellent appearance and the doting love of the old king, many palace painters competed to paint it. Among them, there are many top-notch masterpieces.

This point has directly made Ariel's magical portraits from childhood to adulthood, without exception, all become popular items in the aristocratic circles, and many copy versions are spread all over Lengyan.

Coupled with her iconic thick wavy hair and shining princess crown, it is only natural that she would be recognized by these Guards soldiers at a glance.

After all, most of these Guards soldiers whose strength can reach the second level are the retainers of the city lord, or simply come from low-level noble families.

Compared to ordinary civilians, they naturally know more about Ariel.

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

After flicking her thick slightly curly hair, Ariel looked slightly cold and snorted softly.

"See... see Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

The crisp sound of armor clashing sounded, and all the soldiers immediately knelt down on one knee and lowered their heads deeply.

Although they are all soldiers of Rose Marquis and have unshakable loyalty, Ariel is after all a member of the royal family that rules Leng Yan, and there is no antagonistic relationship between the two parties at present.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with doing so.

"Everyone, get up."

Ariel nodded slightly, her face filled with grace and nobility again, and she read a book. Her red lips slightly opened and she said, "Now can you take 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 situations.

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

After finishing speaking, the captain of the guard responded respectfully while instructing his men to open the iron gate of the castle's outer courtyard.

In this way, we were welcomed into the castle garden where the flowerbed was full of red roses.

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

Sitting down on the clean wooden chair, Lei Xiao looked at the Guards soldiers who hurriedly went 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 the Rose Marquis."

Next, it didn't take long for Lei Xiao to smell the refreshing fragrance of flowers around him while admiring the elegantly maintained garden.

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