Chapter 997: No visit from Mr.

As soon as Lei Xiao got through the phone call, Orr's clean voice rang out: "My lord, Mr. Wu is visiting."

"It's just in time."

Hearing Orr's report, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, and immediately responded: "Let Wuzai wait in the living room of the Lord, I'll be right there."

After speaking, Lei Xiao exchanged glances with Ariel, who was always by his side.

Lei Xiao clearly understands that after successfully subduing Isaac and Coulson, the threat from the Lancaster family and the Yorkman family has been lifted, and will soon be completely transformed into our own power. After the Battle of Fort, the Shanglu family had long been following their lead.

At the same time, our elite army led by Lin and Benson continued to advance towards the capital this morning according to the scheduled plan, conquering the last few fallen aristocratic cities along the way.

This undoubtedly means that, except for the royal capital and the royal forces in the surrounding cities, the entire Lengyan Kingdom has been completely controlled by itself.

In other words, when the eldest prince, second prince, and fourth prince lost one after another, and the third princess Caroline had no intention of competing for the throne at all.

On the surface, Ariel, the only one who still has the right to inherit the throne and controls the monstrous power, is only a coronation ceremony away from the throne.

It is not surprising that Wu, who is in command of the six royal legions, the capital's guards, and the garrison of the surrounding cities, appears at this time.

After all, the old king who has been in a coma is still the nominal cold flame monarch, and it won't be long before our forces will come into contact with the royal family's forces.

In order to avoid unnecessary conflicts between the two sides, or being used by those with a heart, it is just right for Wu, as the guardian of the royal family, to come here at this time.

"Let's go see him, and it's time to discuss your coronation."

Lei Xiao nodded to Ariel, and immediately took the latter's slender hand and walked out of the house.

During this process, Lei Xiao could clearly feel it.

Ariel's soft and delicate fingers were cold, which showed that she was obviously in a state of extreme tension.

It's no wonder that if it was placed when she had just escaped from the capital, I am afraid that Princess Lengyan would not believe it even in her dreams. One step away.

Although this is the dream I have always insisted on, it also means an unparalleled responsibility. With my current ability, can I really rule this huge country well?

"Don't worry, there's still me."

Lei Xiao tightened his grip a little, and continued to pull him towards the outside of the house.

Feeling the warmth from Lei Xiao's generous palm, Ariel nodded heavily, and a touch of firmness appeared on her fair face.

After all the thorns and **** winds, the lord has paved the way for himself, so naturally he can't let the lord feel disappointed!

Lei Xiao and Ariel walked forward in the corridor of the castle, and soon came to the living room of the city lord who was nowhere to be found.

"The old minister pays homage to Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Seeing Ariel's figure, an old and deep voice sounded.

Wu, who was still wearing a simple flame-colored robe and could not see his face clearly, immediately stroked his chest and saluted, then nodded to Lei Xiao and said: "Your Excellency from another world, we meet again. The battle really made Yu amazed."

"Mr. Wu praised you, Princess Ariel and I are just doing our best, because we have no way out, only going forward."

Lei Xiao shrugged his shoulders, smiled at Wu, and said, "Speaking of which, if Mr. Wu hadn't helped me at that time, I'm afraid I would have died in Wangxing City."

"Yu's appearance is just a part of Your Excellency Ke Qing's plan. It is nothing to worry about. Your Excellency Ke Qing is the one who will steer the rudder of victory."

Facing Lei Xiao who was victorious again, Wu obviously showed enough respect, after some courtesies, he sat down in the living room again, and said solemnly: "Your Excellency, then we should talk about business. "

"Mr. No, but it's okay to say."

Lei Xiao took Ariel and sat down one after another, and nodded to Wu.

"Then Yu Ke will be outspoken."

Wu nodded slightly, and asked Lei Xiao, "May I ask how your Excellency Ke Qing dealt with the Lancaster family and the Yorkman family?"

"There is an old saying in my hometown, it is called "Soldiers who subdue others without fighting, and those who are good are good."

Lei Xiao's face was also solemn, and he said bluntly: "I have reached a consensus with Elder Isaac of the Lancaster family and Elder Colson of the Yorkman family. These two families will bow their heads deeply and continue to serve the royal family. Allegiance until the end of time."

After speaking, Lei Xiao simply recounted the previous incident with the two elders and Wu Wu, and then Lei Xiao explained his future plans.

"After the two big families are completely stabilized, including the Shanglu family, Her Royal Highness and I will gradually weaken the power of the three and return the power to the royal family. In this way, the threat posed by the three big families can be eliminated. .”

Lei Xiao clearly understood that even if the power of the three giants was not weakened, it would be difficult for any problems to arise within the Lengyan Kingdom.

Because the leaders of the three giants are already direct subordinates who have sworn allegiance to themselves.

However, in order for Ariel to make some achievements, and to completely stabilize the Cold Flame Kingdom, weakening is still necessary.

After all, this is something that the Lengyan kings of the past dynasties have longed for, but they have been unable to do it, which can be seen from this.

As for the specific main steps, one is to require some of the descendants of the three major families to enter the capital to study and work.

The second is to directly weaken the fiefs of the three giants and the surrounding subordinate forces, and support the direct subordinates under their command.

Everything is to ensure that I can freely mobilize the huge state machine of the Lengyan Kingdom, obtain resources and upgrade them to the maximum extent.

"As expected of Your Excellency Ke Qing, you are really impeccable in your work."

After listening to Lei Xiao's words, he nodded without satisfaction and said: "Before this, Your Excellency Ke Qing and Her Highness the Princess have successively controlled the eastern and northern regions of Lengyan."

"And now, with the Shanglu family that is adjacent to the royal family in the central region, the Lancaster family that controls the western region, and the Yorkman family that controls the southern region have surrendered one after another, the entire Lengyan Kingdom has been reunited. The power struggle entangled with the flames of war has finally come to an end."

There was a touch of excitement and excitement in the calm voice, and he continued: "This undoubtedly means that a new dawn has appeared in the sky above this country!"

"Dawn can't be called that, but Princess Ariel and I will definitely do our best."

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Mr. Wu, don't worry, for me and Princess Ariel, this is just the beginning, we will continue walking side by side."

"Your Excellency's words are indeed reassuring, but there is one thing I have to confirm."

Wu's voice became calm again, and he asked bluntly again: "May I ask, Your Excellency, Ke Qing, if you want to sit on the Lengyan Throne?"

After finishing his speech, Lei Xiao could clearly feel it.

Although Wu's face is blurred and no specific facial features can be seen, he still has a feeling of being closely watched by the other party.

This undoubtedly means that Wu, as the guardian of the royal family, obviously attaches great importance to this issue,

"Mr. Wu, as I said just now, the Cold Flame Kingdom is just the beginning, a small step I have taken."

Regarding Wu's straightforward and sharp question, Lei Xiao naturally had expected it a long time ago, and still responded with a smile: "The throne means responsibility and perseverance, and my progress will not stop here. Bound by the throne?"

Looking at Lei Xiao's indifferent face, he was stunned for a moment, and then relieved in his heart.

If other nobles uttered such extremely arrogant words, Wu would probably take action directly on the spot, making them pay the price of despising the throne.

But Lei Xiao was the only exception.

This young guest from another world has come all the way, not only creating unimaginable miracles of war one after another, but also surrounded by strong people.

In particular, the powerful men and all kinds of Tier 5 equipment that are strong enough to control the country have even far surpassed the royal families of most human countries.

This alone is enough for him to possess the capital of arrogance, not to mention the horrifying amount of potions, magic scrolls, and other second-tier and third-tier equipment.

Wuxin clearly understands that if this astonishing momentum continues, as long as this young man from another world is given enough time, it is not impossible to rule the entire human world.

Therefore, from his point of view, this throne that countless people yearn for and flock to is indeed a bit stretched, or he simply doesn't care about it.

"Understood, I'm superficial."

Thinking about this, nothing in my heart was completely relieved, and I couldn't help but feel lucky again.

Fortunately, the territory of this young guest from another world is the closest to the Lengyan Kingdom, relying on it for development, otherwise it will be unknown whether the Lengyan Kingdom will still exist in the future.

"Mr. Wu, don't underestimate yourself. This is your responsibility. How can you talk about superficiality?"

Lei Xiao smiled and waved his hands, nodded and said, "This is awe-inspiring."

"Your Excellency Ke Qing's state of mind and mind are admirable. There is indeed a reason for the support and loyalty of so many powerful people."

Wu Zai sighed, and said to Lei Xiao and Ai Lier seriously: "By the way, there is one more thing."

"Yu has already noticed that the army from Fort Kell is advancing towards the capital, and Yu will also send troops to flank the opponent from the other end, so as to wipe out the last remnants of the fallen nobles as quickly as possible."

Wu's voice became calm again, and he said solemnly: "At that time, Yu Hui will lead the royal army and the nobles who are still loyal to the royal family to welcome the triumphant return of His Excellency Ke Qing and His Royal Highness Princess at the gate of the royal capital!"

Hearing Wu's words, Lei Xiao and Ariel could not help but look excited, and both nodded.

After a while, Lei Xiao finally said: "Then, Her Highness Ariel and I will thank Mr. Wu here."

"Your Excellency, you don't need to thank you. Yu originally took over the military power in place of my king. Now that the new king is close at hand, why not welcome him? When all the dust settles, Yu can let go of the power that originally belonged to the royal family. gone."

Wu waved his hand, and his voice became excited.

"The Lengyan Kingdom has not had a real monarch for a long time. During this process, Yu will also prepare for the coronation ceremony as quickly as possible, so that Her Royal Highness can take over the old king's scepter and crown as soon as possible, and become the real Lengyan. King of Fire!"

Speaking of this, the excitement in the silence became more and more obvious.

I have watched Ariel grow up since I was a child, and I understand it clearly.

Among the many heirs to the throne, only this youngest princess has the purest heart, and she only cares about the country and the people wholeheartedly.

And now, the youngest princess is about to become the new Queen Lengyan, under her rule, and with the assistance of the foreigner.

The Lengyan Kingdom, which has been riddled with holes in the dark, is bound to undergo earth-shaking changes, and will surely usher in a real dawn!

"All that is left to Mr. Wu, and Her Royal Highness and I will clear the obstacles as quickly as possible."

Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath, and nodded to Wu.

At this point, everything is settled.

It won't take long before I can fulfill my promise to Ariel, and also realize my first step towards the sea of ​​stars, and send Ariel to the throne, becoming the new Queen of Cold Flame!

"Your Excellency Ke Qing, although it is very inappropriate to say these things now, there is one thing I still want to remind Your Excellency Ke Qing and Her Royal Highness the Princess."

For the first time, there was an awe-inspiring look in the calm voice, and he said seriously: "Your Excellency Ke Qing and His Royal Highness the Princess defeated the Fourth Prince, the surrounding countries must all know about it, and they have even begun to prepare for war."

"After all, Your Excellency Keqing is too deep and unfathomable, which will make the Lengyan Kingdom develop rapidly and rapidly."

"In order to consolidate their own rule, it is only natural for the surrounding countries to choose to act first. What's more, the current military strength of the Cold Flame Kingdom is still seriously consumed in power disputes."

"So, please Your Excellency, Your Excellency, and Your Highness the Princess, make preparations early, so as not to be caught off guard."

Having said that, he shook his head helplessly.

Just like what he thought just now, if it takes time for Your Excellency Ke Qing to flatten the entire human world, I am afraid it will not be a problem.

But the problem is time itself.

It is conceivable that the surrounding countries that have already coveted Leng Yan will not give Your Excellency Ke Qing a chance to develop, and this is where the biggest crisis lies.

"To be honest, Mr. Wu, this is what I am most worried about at the moment, so I will let the army of Lancaster and Yorkman return to the station as soon as possible. Order him to return."

Lei Xiao frowned slightly, and said bluntly: "At the same time, the recruitment work in various places is intensified. In this way, at least we will not be caught off guard by possible opponents."

"Seeing Your Excellency Ke Qing's actions, Yu feels relieved. Yu believes that the so-called wall is overthrown and everyone pushes back. I am afraid that this time the Lengyan Kingdom will welcome more than one opponent, and the opponent is likely to come out."

Wu also took a deep breath slowly, and his tone became more dignified.

However, the only thing that makes Wu feel at ease is that the decision makers who will fight side by side in the future will be Lei Xiao and Ariel, not those unscrupulous princes.

If those princes are allowed to take over, the Lengyan Kingdom, which has already been targeted by the surrounding countries, will probably perish even faster.

Therefore, in order to welcome the real dawn, this is a life-and-death test that the Lengyan Kingdom has to face.

"I understand Mr. Wu's worries. This is also a difficult time that Princess Ariel and I must overcome, otherwise everything will come to naught."

Lei Xiao's eyes were piercing, and he clenched his fists tightly. (end of this chapter)
