Lord of the Nation: My talent is 100 million points strong

Chapter 367

It didn't take long for Carol, who was still dressed in armor, to reappear in front of Lei Xiao led by Ed.

When the female garrison captain of Shuiyue City saw Lei Xiao who was sitting on the first throne, she hurriedly bowed and saluted, with a more respectful expression than before and said: "See you, my lord!"

Looking up at the aloof Lei Xiao, Carol understood clearly in her heart.

Being able to let the city lord give up his seat, the status of this young big man is self-evident.

And when she was 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 to signal the other party to stand up, Lei Xiao picked up the white porcelain cup beside him, first took a sip of the fragrant tea that Faxia had just brewed, and then said: "I heard that you once served under the command of General Shengguang Jubai. How much do you know about the Kingdom General?"

"Returning to my lord, when General Jubai just became a captain, the villain was already under her command."

Carol lowered her head again, and responded unreservedly: "For many years, we have fought together from the unfallen fortress in the extreme north of the Cold Flame Kingdom, to the rainforest fortress in the extreme south, and to the border with the Holy Night Kingdom in the east. The battlefield, large and small, has experienced nearly a hundred battles."

"It wasn't until General Jubai returned to the capital and was appointed General of the Kingdom that they were forced to separate."

Speaking of this, Carol shook her head helplessly, and added: "Because those high-ranking dignitaries in the capital obviously don't want a kingdom general to have too many cronies around him, which will undoubtedly threaten their power."

"I see."

Lei Xiao gently put down the teacup in his hand, leaned on his chin with one hand, and continued to listen.

"My lord, because General Jubai is only the adopted daughter of the Earl's family, she was originally born as a commoner, and later won the title of noble by virtue of her outstanding military achievements. She belongs to Leng Yan's new cutting-edge noble."

Carol still kept bowing her head in salute, and then introduced: "So, I have not been treated very well by other kingdom generals with orthodox aristocratic blood, as well as dignitaries in the capital, of course, let alone trust, This is also an important reason why the villain was forced to leave the capital."

"understood."

While staring at the steaming teacup beside him, Lei Xiao revealed a thoughtful expression.

Judging from the information I have so far, the background of General Shengguang Jubai is undoubtedly similar to the situation of General Burt of the Great Axe before, and they are all unpopular existences in the capital.

No wonder these two people will choose to follow the weakest Princess Ariel in the end, or it is still unknown if only Ariel will accept them sincerely.

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao pondered for a while, and asked again: "Captain Kaluo, what else do you know about the other situation of 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."

Carol's sassy face was full of solemnity, and she continued to respond.

"Oh? Is there such a thing?"

A curious expression suddenly appeared on Lei Xiao's face, motioning for Carol to continue talking.

"My lord, this matter has to start with General Jubai's life experience."

Carol took a deep breath and said, "Just like what the villain said just now, General Orange White was originally just an orphan who grew up in a monastery in Red Arrow Town."

"Later, fortunately, she was adopted by the family of the mayor 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 then she was vigorously cultivated by the family."

"However, although the lord of the Red Arrow Town is an Earl's family of the Lengyan Kingdom, the family has already declined. In addition, the land of the Red Arrow Town itself is barren, and it is just a little-known fishing town."

Caroline lowered her eyebrows and continued: "Therefore, no matter in terms of financial resources or strength, compared with other nobles' territories, they are undoubtedly pitifully weak. However, General Orange White's own cultivation talent is extremely outstanding. It was famous in Red Arrow Town at that time."

"So Jubai's origin is in Chijian Town?"

Hearing what Carol said, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

I have known 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 town was the downstream of the rushing river between his territory in the forest and Kongqing Town.

Therefore, the location of this small city is not very far from its own territory.

Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.

Seeing Carol's eyes gloomy, she said again: "However, even though it is such a small town that is not rich, it has been coveted by people with ulterior motives. In the end, the residents of Red Arrow Town and the family of General Orange White's adoptive parents, It caused death."

"Captain Carol, are you referring to the bandit robbery five years ago?"

After pondering for a moment, Lei Xiao suddenly showed a look of enlightenment.

Before this, Lei Xiao had heard Xuanyue 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. By the time Mailan Town got the news, the other party had already fled.

And 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."

Carol first took a deep breath, and then said: "Back then, after hearing the news, General Orange and White, who was still the captain of the battalion, immediately took our cronies back to the Red Arrow Town is investigating..."

Through Carol's further description, Lei Xiao understood.

At the beginning, Jubai and his party learned after asking the residents in the town that the group of sudden attackers were indeed dressed as ordinary bandits.

However, after these people broke through the city gate, they rushed directly to the City Lord's Mansion, and the goal seemed to be very clear.

This immediately aroused the suspicion of Jubai and Carol.

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 did not approach other mansions. step.

"I see."

After listening to Carol's description, Lei Xiao nodded and thoughtfully said: "It seems that this so-called robbery is just an illusion."

"It's very true what the lord said."

Carol sighed again, and continued: "After inferring that something was wrong, we were only suspicious, and there was no substantive evidence, until we accidentally found a survivor in a resident's home. wounded soldiers."

"According to the wounded soldier with lingering fears, those bandits are not only powerful and ruthless, but also well-organized and have a perfect command system. Obviously, they are not ordinary people."

Having said this with gloomy eyes, Carol couldn't help but gritted her teeth and said, "What's more important is that during the fight, the wounded soldier also recognized a few so-called masked bandits, who were the elite soldiers from Songluo City next door. Soldier!"

"Songluo City?"

Looking at Ka Luo's angry face, Lei Xiao once again showed a thoughtful expression.

Regarding Songluo City, I also heard Xuan Yue's introduction.

This large-scale 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 superior to other heroes.

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully, "So, those so-called bandits are actually Songluo City's elite soldiers in disguise?"

"Master, that's exactly what it is,"

Nodding her head heavily, Caroline frowned and said: "After that, through a series of investigations, we learned that half a month before the attack, Marquis Rocky, the lord of Songluo City, had a relationship with Tachibana General Bai's adoptive father of the city lord of Chijian Town discussed the matter of breeding water-type monsters and monsters in the waters of Chijian Town."

"This kind of water monster, the magic beads produced in its body are the necessary materials for refining several first-order potions, which are very valuable, but the strength of this kind of monster after adulthood is beyond the reach of ordinary people. It is a peak level that rivals the first order, and it is extremely violent and brutal."

"So much so that in history, there have been many incidents of breeding such ferocious monsters and reaping the fruits of themselves. Therefore, the orange-white adoptive father of the city lord will naturally not allow such ferocious monsters to appear in his city. .”

"Compared with a lot of wealth, the adoptive father of the orange-white city lord obviously cares more about the safety of the residents in the city."

Carol sighed again, and continued: "But it is precisely because of this that this declining earl's family has faced a catastrophe."

"In this way, the person who came to take over Red Arrow Town after getting rid of the obstructive Jubai adoptive father must be someone related to the Marquis of Rocky, or maybe the Marquis of Rocky himself?"

Lei Xiao, who was sitting on the throne, nodded his head slightly, and pondered: "Also, there must be a large number of dangerous magic bead monsters in the current Chijian Town."

"Your Excellency is right."

Carol nodded sadly and said: "Currently, the jurisdiction of this city is in the hands of the Marquis of Rocky's family, and Red Arrow Town has also become a city after the large-scale breeding of bead monsters. The cash cow of the Rocky Marquis family."

"Even though a large number of residents of Chijian Town die because of this every year, all of this will only become the subject of after-dinner talk and jokes for these big shots."

Concentrating her eyebrows and sighing again, Carol said: "In short, after a series of investigations, General Jubai and a few of our cronies finally confirmed that the Marquis of Rocky was responsible for this matter.

This seemingly sanctimonious hypocrite not only slaughtered General Jubai's adoptive parents, but also burned down the monastery where General Jubai grew up, who had fought with the City Lord's Mansion to the last moment. Spicy, let General Tangerine, who lost his home once, lose his second home again. "

"understood."

Lei Xiao frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "If my predictions are correct, the reason why Jubai has not killed this enemy is that the power behind him must be huge, right?"

"My lord is right again."

Carol nodded and responded: "Behind the Marquis of Rocky, standing is the eldest prince of the Lengyan royal family!"

"In addition to its own strength, it is also at the level of a fourth-tier senior expert, almost on par with General Orange White, and there are so many masters around him."

"Thus, although General Jubai clearly understands that this enemy is right in front of his eyes, he still has nothing to do with him, so he can only grit his teeth silently and keep everything in his heart."

"What's even more exasperating is that, under the repeated questioning of General Jubai, this guy actually admitted what he did in public, and then laughed out loud without any scruples..."

After finishing speaking, Carol clenched her fist tightly, her sassy face was full of anger.

"So it is."

Lei Xiao nodded silently, then waved his hands and said, "Okay, let's go here, Captain Carol, let's go back and rest early."

"Yes, my lord."

Carol bowed to Lei Xiao and Ed one after another, and then left feeling disappointed.

"I think I know what to do."

Looking at the back of Carol leaving, Lei Xiao, who had already made up his mind, drank the tea in his cup.

After a while, when only the main subordinates were left in the hall again.

Lei Xiao ordered Ed to call the three elders of the Fuyue family over.

After a lot of beating and intimidation, the three elders, who were frightened, left tremblingly.

Under the guidance of Ed, Lei Xiao and his party ate some seafood meals with the characteristics of Shuiyue City in the banquet hall of the castle, and then casually strolled around this charming city.

Finally, it returned to the hall just now.

During this process, Lei Xiao also gave Fa Xia and Ah Bing, who hadn't returned home for a long time, a few hours' leave, allowing them to spend time with their families.

"Master Ed, everything in Shuiyue City will be entrusted to you. If you need anything, please contact me in time."

Lei Xiao nodded to Ed, who was standing respectfully, then waved his hand to signal the other subordinates to gather around him.

"Obey! Please rest assured, my lord!"

Ed hurriedly bowed and saluted, with a respectful expression on his face.

"Okay, then we're leaving."

After speaking, Lei Xiao's mind moved, and a piece of city return crystal that was cold to the touch suddenly appeared on the palm of his hand.

Without hesitation, Lei Xiao crushed the cyan crystal stone he just took out.

In the next second, the strange energy inside the crystal swept out instantly, completely covering 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.

Without any warning, a white light flashed past, and Lei Xiao and the others in front of Ed's eyes completely disappeared in the hall.
