In confusion, Lei Xiao opened his mouth and began to read, and a sassy and neutral voice that was quite similar to Lin's came to his ears: "Lord, my subordinate is Ji Shang... No, my subordinate is Xuan Yue.

There was something just now that I feel it is necessary to report to the lord."

"Xuan Yue, what happened?"

Hearing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but show a slightly curious expression on his face.

Lei Xiao is naturally no stranger to Xuan Yue.

Some time ago, it was due to our own strong intervention that we helped the young master of the Zelan family regain the city lord's palace of Mailan Town, and then successfully made him the new city lord of Mailan Town.

As a result, Mailan Town, an agricultural town rich in food, became Lei Xiao's second town.

Of course, what impressed Lei Xiao the most was the fact that Xuan Yue disguised herself as a man.

"I would like to report to my lord, when my subordinates were sorting out the treasure house, they accidentally discovered an ancient map, which looked very much like a treasure map.

However, that map is a bit weird, and it’s impossible to determine its specific location.”

Immediately, Xuan Yue's crisp voice rang again.

"Oh? It's interesting." Hearing this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, and then said: "Xuan Yue, wait for me in Mailan Town. I just have something else to do and I need to go to your place to make arrangements."

After he stopped talking, Lei Xiao frowned slightly and began to ponder.

Without a doubt, the main goal today.

The purpose is to subdue the two main followers around Ariel, dig into the corners of this cold and arrogant princess, and learn more about the intelligence of the princess and her party from the side.

Use this to determine whether the other party has other thoughts or intentions that are unfavorable to you, and lay a good foundation for your next action.

After all, Lei Xiao had already learned before that Princess Ariel did hide something, such as the mysterious "that thing".

Currently, preparations for conquering one of the suitable candidates, the princess's personal maid Seikai, have come to an end.

As long as the family members whom he misses so much are brought back to Kongqing Town for proper resettlement, that's basically it.

And another suitable candidate is the third-level deputy squadron leader of the Royal Guard who was born in Mailan Town.

"Lin, in addition to the maid Xinghui, please describe the information about another suitable candidate that we have learned."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao walked down from the high platform where the throne was, and spoke to the female knight at the bottom.

"Back to Lord, this third-level deputy squadron leader is named Qingguo. He is a mercenary who was born in Mailan Town and is a heavy swordsman by profession.

In the royal guard selection in the capital a few years ago, this man in his thirties beat the crowd and was successfully selected with first place, and last year he took the position of deputy squadron leader."

After bowing to Lei Xiao, Lin took a step forward and responded: "Because this Royal Guard is a squadron dedicated to protecting Princess Ariel, they followed the princess to Kongqing Town.

As for Qing Guo’s specific family background, I haven’t figured it out yet, so please forgive me, Lord.”

"It doesn't matter. Obtaining this information will be of great help to us."

Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao smiled and said: "As for the rest, just ask Xuan Yue directly later. After all, he is the current city lord of Mailan Town."

Having said this, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, and then said to the subordinates: "Okay, Lin, Fang Hai, Guan Zhong, you three can stay here today.

One is to assist Nate and Ned in further stabilizing Magnet Town.

The second is to move the residents who have moved from Kongqing Town back to Kongqing Town and resettle them as soon as possible, especially the maid Xing Hui’s family. If you have anything, please contact me in a timely manner."

"Yes! Lord!" Hearing this, Lin, Fang Hai, Guanzhong, Nate and Ned brothers bowed down and clasped their fists at the same time to accept the order.

"As for Polygonum Weed, Chaoyan, A Ling, A Bing and Bai Wei, come with me to Mailan Town." Lei Xiao nodded slightly and said while putting on the illusion cloak again.

Next, after putting the 20,000 units of blazing crystals into the space bracelet, Lei Xiao left Magnet Town with Huzhang and the other five.

After that, after a lot of excitement, the group of six people returned to their territory in the forest.

The reason why Lei Xiao made such an arrangement was that he put the 20,000 units of Blazing Crystals, which took up quite a lot of space on the bracelet, into the wooden storage box.

Secondly, we went to the equipment warehouse that was converted from a fortress in the territory.

All the equipment that was replaced by the heavy shooter squadron, the shadow squadron, the third-level powerhouse squad, and the third-level dragoon squad have been upgraded.

Moreover, he took out 4,000 sets of second-level equipment from the storage wooden box and prepared to take them to Mailan Town.

After all, the three brigades of soldiers in Mailan Town only use ordinary first-level equipment.

After getting everything ready, we had lunch at the territory.

Lei Xiao nodded to the five strong men including Huzhang who were already ready to go, "Okay, let's set off."

That's it, it didn't take long.

Under the bright and slightly hot sunshine in the afternoon, a group of six people walked through the forest, crossed the river, and soon arrived at Mailan Town, which is located directly south of Kongqing Town.

"Lord, you are here!" At this time, Xuan Yue and guard Ging Guo, who had already been waiting on the outskirts of the city, immediately came forward with excitement on their faces.

"I haven't seen you for a few days." He smiled slightly, looked Xuan Yue up and down, and Lei Xiao couldn't help but show a slightly surprised look.

At this time, the other party has completely restored her female appearance.

The slightly tight light blue dress perfectly outlined Xuan Yue's slender and uneven figure, making her look dignified and elegant, exuding the charm of a mature woman.

And the elegant shoulder-length short hair pours down from both sides of the fair and delicate cheeks, giving it a more girlish agility.

As for Ging Guo on the side, he still had a ponytail and was dressed as a guard wearing leather armor and carrying a long sword at his waist. He looked very heroic.

And, Lei Xiao noticed.

With the help of the Qi Condensation Pill and the Rose Energy Gathering Pill, after so many days of refining, these two people have been promoted from the second-level five-star level to the third-level powerhouse. It can be said that their strength has been greatly improved.

"See you, Lord!" When they came closer, Xuan Yue and Bai Guo immediately saluted respectfully and bowed their heads deeply to Lei Xiao.

"No need to be polite, how is the situation in the city these days?" Lei Xiao waved his hand slightly and asked casually.

"Lord, after several days of hard work by my subordinates, all the remaining forces of the three elders' faction have been wiped out. This town is now in our hands again!"

Xuan Yue smiled quite excitedly and responded.

Immediately afterwards, her delicate face showed an expression of uncontrollable gratitude, and she said: "In short, it is all thanks to the lord, otherwise my subordinates would have lost their lives now."

"You're welcome." Yun Danfeng nodded lightly, and Lei Xiao asked again: "By the way, how is your father's injury?"

"Back to Lord, although my father has not yet awakened, his injuries have been completely stabilized with the help of Lord's many magic potions." The grateful look on Xuan Yue's face became more obvious, and she responded with cupped fists.

"Very good, let's talk about the rest after entering the city." Upon hearing this, Lei Xiao smiled faintly and handed each of them an illusion cloak.

Next, we passed through the green farmland on the outskirts of Mailan Town, the towering city gates, and the quaint and bustling streets.

Under the guidance of Xuan Yue and Bai Guo, Lei Xiao and his party arrived at the large castle in the center of the city. This was naturally the city lord's palace in Mailan Town.

After entering the huge castle and walking through the long corridor inlaid with light crystal stones, Lei Xiao first went to the equipment warehouse of the City Lord's Mansion.

Under the incredulous gazes of Xuan Yue and Bai Guo, they directly filled the place with a large number of brand-new second-level equipment.

"These are 2,000 sets of second-level infantry equipment, 1,000 sets of second-level cavalry equipment, and 1,000 sets of second-level long-range shooter equipment, which is enough for all the soldiers in Mailan Town to undergo a comprehensive equipment change."

Lei Xiao smiled slightly and then spoke.

"Thank you very much, Lord!" Seeing this, Xuan Yue's fair and delicate face was full of excitement, and she bowed and saluted.

There is no doubt that in this way, the overall strength of Mailan Town will obviously rise to a new level!

Overjoyed, Xuan Yue took Bai Guo forward and said to Lei Xiao with some trepidation: "Lord Qi, since we said goodbye a few days ago.

Bai Guo has been asking her subordinates if they can also ask the lord to accept her as a subordinate..."

On the other side, Bai Guo quickly knelt down on one knee and said: "I am willing to go through fire and water for your lord! Please allow me, your lord!"

At this time, Lei Xiao couldn't help but smile.

At that time, the reason why only Xuan Yue was recovered was because the territory had reached the population limit.

But now, since the lord's mansion has been upgraded, there is naturally no problem.

"Very good, let's start signing the contract." Lei Xiao smiled slightly, his mind moved, and a recruitment order appeared in his hand.

Just like that, the familiar reminder soon rang in Lei Xiao's ears.

[Congratulations, third-level one-star sword fighter Baiguo? Randy, has signed a master-servant contract with you and has become your new subordinate! 】

After leaning down to help Ging Guo up, Lei Xiao immediately opened the opponent's attribute bar.

Nodding with satisfaction, Lei Xiao casually opened Xuan Yue's status bar.
