"Hey, is this Miss Jian Yue Canglian?" One of the mayors recognized Jian Yue Canglian.

"Sir, have you seen Cang Lian?" Jian Yue Cang Lian asked doubtfully.

"A few years ago, I accompanied an adult to visit the maid academy, and I was fortunate enough to see Miss Canglian's heroic appearance." The mayor put one hand on his chest and nodded in salute.

Seeing the moon, Canglian immediately nodded and returned the greeting, "Canglian is just a palace maid, I don't dare to call myself miss."

At this moment, a mayor's eyes widened, as if he had discovered something, and looked at Jian Yue Canglian in disbelief.

Several other mayors looked puzzled and subconsciously activated their psychic abilities.

In the psychic vision, countless translucent silk threads as thin as hair extend from the body surface of Moon Seeing Canglian and penetrate into the ground. Dots of blue light are being drawn up from the ground along the silk threads.

Connect the earth veins, steal the fire period!

The mayors were immediately on pins and needles. They didn't expect that the maid standing in front of them was a strong man from the Holy Realm. Even the lord didn't sit down. How virtuous and incapable are they, the guards, sitting here drinking tea.

"Small, no, sir, you..."

Mayor John Prader was about to call her "Miss", but as soon as he said the first word, he quickly changed his name to "My lord".

In this world, the strong are respected. When a guardian-level person sees a lord-level person, they must honestly call him "Sir." Even if the person is a maid, it is to her master, not to outsiders like them.

Seeing the mayors trying to stand up, Jian Yue Canglian quickly stopped them and said, "Sir, there is no need to be polite."

"You are a guest when you come to the door. You are a guest now, and I am the master's servant, so I should stand."

When the mayors looked at Chen Xing again, their eyes had turned from fear to awe. Even the palace maids under his command were at the lord level, so wouldn't the master's strength be even more terrifying?

However, they opened up their psychic senses and looked again and again. Chen Xing's body showed no signs of communicating with the earth's veins. In other words, the psychic fluctuations were slightly stronger than theirs, and he was at most a guard level.

Most of the confidence of the mayors was restored immediately. They thought that they were not much better than them. It was probably their luck that the blind cat encountered a dead mouse and picked up a top-notch palace maid.

Chen Xing watched the changes in the expressions of the mayors and guessed their thoughts. He must have seen that he did not have a lord level and did not take him seriously.

But this is fine, lest the other party feel that they have gold and silver and a lot of ideas. But what is coming will still come. After drinking a few sips of black tea, the mayors began to talk non-stop, lobbying Chen Xing to join the war.

"Lord Chen, the current situation is chaotic, with wars raging everywhere, the Blue City of Ice is being ravaged by a witch, the four Northeastern countries are eyeing us, the Southern River Birds, and the White Night Kingdom are heavily guarding the river banks. As subjects of the principality, we should go to the front lines and contribute to the country."

"Princess Lacey has issued a call, and nobles from all over the country have responded, and we are one of them."

"Master Chen is young and promising, and there are many talents under his command..." The mayor who spoke looked at Jian Yue Canglian with a respectful expression on his face, and nodded slightly, "Why don't you summon your subordinates, answer the princess's call, go south to the Lizard City, and make contributions?"

"A good man has his ambitions in all directions. He should carry a three-foot sword and achieve immortal feats!"

Chen Xing felt like a few flies buzzing in his ears, and he didn't even listen to what they were saying, because the content was roughly the same, they were all urging him to become cannon fodder.

Just as he was wondering how to refuse, suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he immediately sent someone to invite Lin Shiyuan over.

Lin Shiyuan was introduced by Akita and has been joining the Chen Xing camp for some time. He still hangs out with aristocratic widows from various countries in the Poetry Club community every day, discusses romance, exchanges poems and songs, and has a good understanding of the aristocratic circles in various countries.

"This is my military advisor." Chen Xing introduced.

"Nice to meet you."

Lin Shiyuan was 1.9 meters tall, tall and thin, with broad shoulders. He was wearing a white shirt and casual trousers, and looked elegant. The mayors stood up, nodded in greeting, and shook hands with Lin Shiyuan.

"I wonder what the adults are here for?" Lin Shiyuan asked after sitting down.

"The current situation is chaotic and wars are breaking out..."

Several mayors repeated what they had just said to Chen Xing.

"That's it..." After listening to the impassioned speeches of the mayors, Lin Shiyuan pondered for a while and then asked, "How many people are you going to bring over, sir?"

"How many mechas, how many vehicles, how much supplies, how much military pay..."

Lin Shiyuan seemed very interested and kept asking questions, detailing everything. When the mayors saw this, they thought Lin Shiyuan was active in the war and explained whatever they asked.

Chen Xing was a little unhappy at first. The reason why he asked Lin Shiyuan to come was

He declined these people tactfully, but he didn't expect Lin Shiyuan to show enthusiasm and chat enthusiastically. But it didn't take long for him to understand that Lin Shiyuan was not interested at all, and he was clearly just chatting.

"How much does the standard ration you buy cost? If you have money, you can buy more. The price keeps rising..."

"Speaking of which, I still have a few friends in Lizard City. I heard that Viscount Sam's wife recently gave birth to a second child, a boy..."

Lin Shiyuan started by talking about the prices of military supplies, then moved on to market conditions, and then to trivial matters in the aristocratic circles. He rambled here and there, making the topic all over the place.

Moreover, Lin Shiyuan was particularly good at chatting. He knew everything about astronomy and geography, rural anecdotes, and aristocratic secrets. He could talk about everything. As a result, after chatting for most of the day, it was all empty talk, and none of it actually made sense.

To put it bluntly, it was just taking the topic off topic and creating fatigue. In the end, everyone was chatting happily, but there was no progress at all. At the end of the chat, the time was up, and they left in a daze.

"Oh, I'm very sorry. I have something urgent to deal with over there. You guys can talk first..."

Half an hour later, Chen Xing pretended to look at the black watch, then stood up and left. Before leaving, he freed Jian Yue Canglian and said, "Go to the kitchen to prepare tonight's dinner. Several mayors have come a long way. I'm sure

Let them finish their dinner before leaving!"

"Mr. Chen, you are too polite!" "Oh, will this be too much trouble for you?"

"No, no, you sirs are visiting this town because you think highly of me. I am too late to be happy. You must let me fulfill my duty as a landlord tonight."

After some polite greetings, Chen Xing left the living room and came to the study.

As soon as the thick double wooden doors are closed, the ears feel a lot cleaner.

After resting for a while, Chen Xing took out his portable screen, connected it to his black watch, and prepared to read posts to pass the time. Now there is a small satellite signal receiver in Orchid Town used as a scientific research station. Although the signal is not very good and often intermittent, it is still barely there.

Able to connect to the clearnet.

[Princess Allure War Mobilization Video: "Warriors, your glory is calling!"]

When you are in the Red Dragon Principality, domestic information will be pushed first.

"hypocritical!"

While Chen Xing was criticizing, he accidentally clicked on the video. Sometimes people are just so weird. The more annoying they are, the more they want to see how disgusting the other person can be.

The screen dimmed slightly, and a cold and beautiful face appeared in front of me.

Wearing a mithril chain on her head, a drop-shaped pendant hangs in the middle of her forehead. This is the "princess crown" worn by women in the royal family on formal occasions.

The dress is also very formal, like a goddess descending to earth. She is wearing a long white suspender dress, with a large amount of white on her shoulders. A little lower, the thin white gauze is fully stretched, and it is plump and swollen, ready to come out.

There is an ultimate temptation all over his body.

"From ancient times to the present, the nations of the Ambergris River have built their country with force and written history with sword blades and blood."

"To expand territory and conquer the world, our Red Dragon Principality is one of the best."

"Generation after generation of Red Dragon warriors have achieved today's great achievements."

"Now, it's time to put on the armor, bring the sword, and prove yourself with blood, will and strength."

"Unparalleled achievements, star-like glory, and opportunities to be recorded in history are all waving to you one by one!"

"Come, my warriors! Come to the Lizard City, you will get everything you want!"

Her voice was high-pitched, clear, and full of passion, and her originally charming face now looked solemn and holy, making people dare not blaspheme.

"You really know how to pretend..."

"Bitch!"

Chen Xing felt unhappy and called Sora out, "I want to know what Lacey Maris is doing?"

[As you command, my master]

[Data retrieval...]

[Retrieval successful, Lacey Maris is taking a bath in the bathhouse of Princess Tower]

“Send me the picture and take a look!”

The screen flashed and switched to dense water vapor.

The interior was dimly white, and you could vaguely tell it was a bathtub with high-end decoration. The white jade floor was moist and smooth, and the walls were embossed, making it extremely luxurious.

Through the hazy water mist, you can see a graceful silhouette. A touch of icy skin and an inch of jade skin, looming and tingling, making people want to push through the fog and take a closer look.

"You monster, you haven't revealed your true identity yet!"

"Sora, move in front of the screen."

[As you command, my master]

The misty scene trembled and moved forward.

Half a meter away, the outline became much clearer, but the scene in the bathing pool was still unclear.

"Going a little further, I want to see clearly the hypocritical nature of Lacey Maris." Chen Xing urged.

[Sorry, dear master, the screen extension has reached the limit]

"What!" Chen Xing frowned and asked, "Why is this happening?"

[There is a monitoring radio interference device in the bath, so images cannot be obtained]

Chen Xing suddenly felt bad. He didn't even look at half of it. He felt like a cat scratching his paws. His whole body felt uncomfortable.

However, he was a man of three generations and had a firm mind. He took deep breaths several times and finally suppressed his unhappiness.
