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

"Your Excellency City Lord, let's not talk about joining the camp for now."

Smiling slightly, Lei Xiao looked at the Rose Marquis in front of him with interest, and asked: "I'm curious, how did you guess that I want to help Her Royal Highness Princess aspire to the throne?"

"At first, I didn't even think about this level."

Nodding to Lei Xiao, Marquis Rose picked up the red rose on the table again.

He responded: "Originally, based on my understanding of Her Royal Highness, there is nothing noteworthy about helping the fortress defenders and repelling the invading enemies."

"After all, as far as I know, Her Royal Highness the Princess has always had a strong sense of responsibility since she was a child, especially towards ordinary people. This is exactly what the other princes do not possess."

At this time, Rose Marquis first glanced at Ariel, and then continued: "However, after knowing the purpose of your coming here, combined with yesterday's border battlefield, I have a new speculation."

"Yesterday's battle on the border battlefield, you all had a hidden purpose, and that was to further enhance Princess Ariel's reputation!"

Taking a deep breath, the Rose Marquis concluded: "From this, combined with your attempts to win over me, I have come to a bold conclusion, that is, Your Excellency Ke Qing is ready to help Her Royal Highness the Princess aspire to the throne and join the current power. Let’s compete!”

"I see. Combining the news from the border battlefield obtained yesterday and our visit today, have we finally arrived at this conclusion?"

Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

"That's right. The reason why Your Excellency Keqing asked such detailed questions is because he was worried that the other three princes would notice him and involve himself, Her Royal Highness the Princess and Kong Qingzhen in the whirlpool of power, right?"

Having said this, Marquis Rose paused, changed his previous words, and continued: "No, since Your Excellency, Guest Minister, is ready to join this power struggle, you have naturally thought of this. Therefore, what Your Excellency is really worried about is , is the question of when the war will begin!"

"Your Excellency the City Lord's inference is quite reasonable."

Raising his eyebrows noncommittally, Lei Xiao continued: "Then do you think the three princes have noticed this now like you?"

"I'm guessing, at least in the past few days, it's unlikely."

Gently shaking the red rose in his hand, the Rose Marquis responded: "I'm sorry to say it bluntly, but any noble who knows something about the royal family knows that compared to the other three princes, the power of Her Royal Highness the Princess is almost negligible."

"For the three princes, Her Royal Highness the Princess, who also has the right to inherit the throne, is an obstacle to the peak of power and must be eradicated sooner or later, but it is not the most important thing at the moment. Otherwise, Her Royal Highness the Princess will not be able to leave the King smoothly. All."

Nodding to Lei Xiao, the Rose Marquis added: "So, given that the other party clearly despises Her Highness the Princess, I am afraid that the arrogant princes will not take Her Highness in their eyes for a while."

"I see."

Upon hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly and motioned for the other party to continue speaking.

"However, I believe Your Excellency Bike Qing has already anticipated that even if the three princes do not know that you are trying to expand your sphere of influence, the mere presence of a fifth-level powerhouse on the battlefield is enough to arouse the three princes' high vigilance."

I saw the Marquis of Rose gently holding the orchid finger and playing with the roses in his hand.

While continuing: "From this, the other party will definitely send a large number of spies to Kongqing Town to investigate. When the other party collects the information and confirms that there is really a fifth-level powerhouse, then, no matter whether you are trying to aspire to the throne or not, I’m afraid a war is inevitable.”

After a pause, Marquis Rose added: "However, the move Your Excellency Keqing made on the border battlefield is indeed very mysterious. It not only perfectly solved the crisis on the border, but also greatly increased the prestige of Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Continuing to fiddle with the roses in his hand, Marquis Rose continued: "It is conceivable that in the current extremely chaotic situation, if the Kingdom of Holy Night once breaks through the mountain fortress, it will march straight into our territory of Lengyan.

Then, the main war faction of the Holy Night Kingdom, which has gained the sweetness, will surely persuade the new King of Holy Night to send hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands more troops. By then, the two countries will be in full-scale war, and the direction of things will be It's even harder to control. "

"After all, the opponents of the Cold Flame Kingdom are not just the Kingdom of Holy Night. They include the Fortress in the Far North, stationed by Her Highness the Third Princess, and the Rainforest Fortress in the Far South. In recent years, things have not been peaceful."

Smiling at Lei Xiao, the Rose Marquis added: "If it develops to such an irreversible point, your opponents will not only be within the cold flames, but will need to be faced at the same time. Their strength is almost the same as that of Leng Yan." There are several powerful countries such as the Holy Night Kingdom and Leng Yan."

Taking a deep breath, Rose Marquis stood up from his seat, bowed to Lei Xiao and Ariel respectively, and solemnly said: "I have to admit, it was thanks to the actions of Your Excellency Keqing and Her Royal Highness the Princess that this Only then did Leng Yan avoid a shocking catastrophe caused by the flames of war!"

At this time, it can be clearly felt that the Rose Marquis in front of him, no matter his appearance, behavior, or tone of voice, no longer has the enchanting and strange aura just now, but has a little more respect.

On the other side, after hearing this, all the subordinates couldn't help but cast admiring glances at Lei Xiao.

"It's not a big deal, thanks to Her Royal Highness."

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao said with a smile.

"All in all, from my point of view, everything is as expected by Your Excellency Keqing. Before the three princes have fully understood the context of the matter, it is the best time for Her Royal Highness to develop!"

Taking another deep breath, Rose Marquis nodded to Lei Xiao.

"Okay, now that the matter has been completely clarified, let us return to the topic just now."

Continuing to maintain a gentle smile, Lei Xiao changed the subject and said: "Your Majesty the City Lord, the reason why you were able to guess the purpose of our coming here at the first time is because before this, the envoys of the three princes had already Have you been here?"

"This... how did your Excellency Keqing know?"

Hearing this, Rose Marquis couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his rough and square face, and blurted out.

"That's not important. What's important is that as far as I know, the city lord and the envoys of the three princes didn't seem to be having a very happy time."

Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao's face was still filled with a faint smile, as if he had seen through everything about Rose Marquis.

"To be fair to your Excellency, this is indeed the case."

Being stared at by Lei Xiao's seemingly peaceful gaze, the Rose Marquis made no attempt to hide it.

Then he snorted seductively and said in a disdainful tone: "Those guys who came from the royal capital all looked arrogant and arrogant. If they didn't speculate in three sentences, they would make the same threats. After all, it’s just a dog beside its master.”

After a pause, Marquis Rose said seriously: "Your Excellency, although you are completely different from those guys, my answer will still not change. Blue Cold Castle is just a corner of the eastern region, and it is only loyal to the current Leng Yan. The king will not get involved in any power disputes."

"Understood."

Hearing this, Lei Xiao didn't say anything else, but changed the topic again, and asked, seemingly inadvertently: "Your Excellency, City Lord, can you please take a look at the magical beasts you raise?"

"Warcraft?"

On the other side, Marquis Rose responded with a puzzled expression: "Your Excellency, guest, where did you start with these words? Blue Cold Castle is a brewing town and has extremely strict requirements for the brewing process. , Let alone Warcraft, even ordinary animals are not allowed to be raised freely in the city."

"So that's it, I was just asking casually."

Staring closely at the doubtful eyes on Marquis Rose's rugged face, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.

Needless to say, the reason why Lei Xiao asked like this was to confirm whether the mysterious monster was raised by the other party.

Judging from the confused expression on the other party's face, it was obvious that the other party knew nothing about it.

"Since not even the Marquis of Rose knows about the mysterious monster in the city, and the city's control over animals is extremely strict, then where did this mysterious monster come from? Where is it now?"

At this time, Lei Xiao couldn't help but have a look of doubt on his face, and he continued to think.

"Having said that, it is not difficult to see from the current situation that the Rose Marquis is still neutral, and he is quite witty. He is a rare talent. Therefore, we must find a way to conquer him."

Nodding thoughtfully, Lei Xiao continued to think: "However, judging from his resolute attitude, if he is forced to use force, he may have little effect.

And if the other party insists on disobeying, with the other party's rather clever mind, coupled with the considerable financial resources of Blue Cold Castle, if its position changes, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble to ourselves in the future, so naturally we cannot take this risk. "

Realizing this, Lei Xiao's dark eyes flashed with a cold light involuntarily, and he thought to himself: "It seems that if there is really no other way, just like what Ju Bai said, this person can't help but If we stay, we must avoid future troubles.”

Just when he thought of this, Lei Xiao was stunned and suddenly showed a look of enlightenment.

Then he suddenly realized in his heart: "I know! Since I have murderous thoughts, then there must be someone among the three princes' envoys who also have the same thoughts.

Thinking about it this way, could the mysterious and dangerous monster in Bai Wei's mouth be a dangerous murderous intention secretly laid by a certain wave of messengers? "

After thinking about this, Lei Xiao regained his composure and spoke to the enchanting man in front of him: "Your Excellency, City Lord, I have a question, please clarify it."

"Your Excellency, Keqing, you are serious. As long as you don't mention the matters of wooing, I will tell you everything even if there are a hundred questions."

Holding an orchid finger and sniffing the red rose in his hand, the Rose Marquis nodded without hesitation.

"As the City Lord knows, the current power dispute centered on Leng Yan King's Capital has already radiated to the entire Leng Yan territory, which naturally includes the eastern region of Leng Yan."

Smiling slightly, Lei Xiao then said: "For example, if you are the leader of a party fighting for power, once the olive branch you throw is broken by someone who doesn't know how to promote, and in order to let this guy who is not a promotion, What will you do if you don’t accept the olive branch from other opponents?”

"this……"

Upon hearing this, Rose Marquis immediately reacted, and a look of caution appeared on his rough face.

Then he said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, Keqing, are you threatening me? Although I am only at the fourth level in strength, I also have life-saving trump cards, and I will not let you succeed easily!"

"Your Majesty the City Lord, with your intelligence and astuteness, do you think that if I were to take action, I would tell you this in advance?"

Lei Xiao continued to smile and responded calmly.

"Your Excellency, Guest Minister, do you mean that... one of the three previous waves of envoys has secretly planned to get rid of me?"

Upon hearing this, a look of enlightenment suddenly appeared on the rough face of Marquis Rose. He threw the red rose in his hand on the table and stood up with his huge body.

"Isn't this a possibility?"

Lei Xiao also stood up from his seat and responded while flexing his muscles.

"Your Excellency, guest, are all these just your guesses?"

After pondering for a moment, Marquis Rose continued: "Furthermore, our Blue Cold Castle is heavily guarded. Inside and outside this castle alone, we have five well-trained squadrons of second-order guards patrolling and standing guard day and night. I’m afraid even if the other party has this idea, they won’t succeed easily.”

Having said this, the Marquis of Rose picked up the orchid finger, picked up the red rose on the table again, looked at his nose and smelled it, and then said: "Your Excellency, if you want to use this method to induce me to submit, I'm afraid It’s just a bit too smart…”

However, Marquis Rose was not finished yet.

The entire hall where everyone was sitting suddenly began to tremble without warning.

For a time, the spacious and luxurious living room, the empty tables and chairs, all shifted a lot, making a "thump, thump, thump" sound.

The trembling lasted for about five or six seconds before calmness returned again.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Wei, who was on the side, moved her nose on her fair cheeks. With a solemn expression, she immediately came to Lei Xiao's side, bowed and said, "Sir, that strange and dangerous smell of monsters suddenly came out again. Appeared!"

"Dangerous smell of monsters?"

After hearing Bai Wei's description, a trace of nervousness appeared on the square face of Marquis Rose again, and he asked Lei Xiao: "Your Excellency, guest, what is going on?"

"It seems like I'm not too smart."

On the other side, Lei Xiao smiled faintly, and then said: "Your Excellency, City Lord, this time, you are really in trouble."
