The temperature in Chihu City is indeed a little higher than other places, so the fog is also particularly thick. Such a place full of plants and flowing water is more like a fairyland.
But what makes Diao Si unhappy is that Ou Ya's movement speed is really too slow. This not only makes him uncomfortable, but also those dark crystal warriors probably feel uncomfortable. But what can I say about her? In fact, she was also very anxious. She was already panting from exhaustion.
It took a while to finally arrive at the town next to the Blazing Lake. After the soldiers standing guard passed the message, Lei Pi welcomed a large number of people. It seemed that they quite respected Ouya, who came from the royal family.
"Sir, I didn't know you were coming in person. Sometimes you are welcome from a distance, sometimes you are not welcomed from afar..." The person in front of the head is a woman dressed as a lady. She is about thirty or forty years old. She pretends to be quite young. She is probably... Lei Pi.
When Ou Ya saw it, she immediately straightened up her appearance and went up to meet her. She greeted the woman and said, "How dare you do me a favor, Count? I really don't dare to do it."
These polite words may be what Ou Ya is referring to about dating. In fact, Diao Si is used to it on earth, but this is what he hates. If he is asked to say those words to Lei Pi like this, he will feel uncomfortable.
However, Diao Si was quite surprised by Lei Pi's appearance. Originally, Diao Si thought that she looked similar to Gong Long, but he didn't expect that she was quite pretty. If she were younger, she would still be a beauty.
After finishing the courtesy, Lei Pi led Ou Ya and others into her big house. This guy also looked at the dark crystal warriors, especially Diao Si. After all, this was because Diao Si was a man, but she was probably already Diao Si's identity can be seen from his equipment.
After entering the living room and sitting down, Lei Pi brought out a lot of good food to greet them. She also asked the dark crystal warriors one by one about their family situation. It seemed that she knew the situation in the imperial city quite well, and she was very familiar with the situation inside. Many families are closely related.
In short, it was all official gossip to build relationships. After talking like this for a while, they seemed to be more familiar with each other, and the dark crystal warriors began to talk and laugh happily.
Finally, she said hello to Diao Si, who took this opportunity to ask Lei Pi about the missing residents of Chihu City, which immediately prompted Ou Ya to stop her. Diao Si asked this question just to see Lei Pi's attitude towards these things. Knowing her attitude, he could guess what she was thinking in her heart.
Perhaps because of Diao Si's words, Ou Ya quickly raised the question about food after a period of embarrassment. Lei Pi's expression suddenly changed. After she whispered a few words to some servants, they took out a lot of miscellaneous paper information and placed it in front of Ou Ya.
"Sir, this is the food production situation of our Chihu City in recent months. I think you are also very clear. This cannot be deceived. You also saw it on the way here. You see how I use food to support What about you? I suggest you ask the Imperial City for help. I am really helpless."
Lei Pi said this, and Ou Ya was already prepared. She simply flipped through the miscellaneous papers, and then said: "How could we not know the difficulties of Chihu City? We did not hesitate to bring so many people from the Imperial City this time. This is also for this point, Earl, you may not know that we only need a little food to get through this difficult time, and the problem in Chihu City will hopefully be solved... "
"Of course I know the kindness of the royal family, and I also understand the painstaking efforts of Emperor Chizhi, but the problem is that in our current situation, we really can't get a little bit of food..." Lei Pi also continued to explain.
In this way, Ou Ya argued with her one by one, but no matter how significant Ou Ya said or what assurances he gave, Lei Pi refused to give in and never agreed to provide any food assistance.
"Since the earl is having such a hard time, let's not make it difficult for others..." Diao Si said this, surprising everyone present, especially Ou Ya, who stared at Diao Si and turned red with anger.
"Yes, it's not that we don't want to help the royal family, but it's just that we really can't do anything. I hope you can understand. In addition to this food, if we can use it, please come forward." Lei Pi used Diao Si's words to express a promise-like tone. explain.
Ou Ya wanted to go back and say something, but was interrupted by Diao Si: "Then there is really something to embarrass the earl. Our farm workers over there drank that water yesterday and had a severe stomachache. , I wonder if there is any medicine for diarrhea here.”
"This..." After hearing this, Lei Pi looked at her subordinates. They might be thinking about something, but Diao Si suddenly screamed that he had a stomachache and was looking for a place to defecate.
This was so sudden that before anyone at the scene could react, Diao Si ran towards the passage to the side. In this way, Ouya and the others chased after him, but they may not know that what Diao Si was looking for was not the toilet, but Lei Pi's grain warehouse.
With the help of the wind elves, he quickly ran to the front of the grain warehouse last night. Unexpectedly, there were many soldiers guarding there, and they immediately blocked Diao Si's way.
"You can't go in here, please go back!" A leader of the Golden Light Warriors stopped Diao Si and said to him.
Diao Si asked in confusion: "What's inside? Why can't I go in?"
"This... this is an important military area, and the count has requested that no one be allowed in." The guy explained hesitantly.
"Master Ouya, Master Ouya, they said this is a granary, and there is a lot of food in it..." After seeing Lei Pi nervously catching up behind him, Diao Si said loudly to Ouya behind him.
After hearing this, Lei Pi glared at the outer golden warrior angrily. She was really dumb now. She and Diao Si clearly didn't say so.
"I think you heard me wrong. This is not a granary at all. How can there be a lot of food..." When Lei Pi explained, he felt that this was unconvincing and seemed to be trying to hide the truth.
"No, it's absolutely true. I think these soldiers must have hidden the food without telling the count. As long as we open the door, the truth will be revealed!" Diao Si continued to pretend to be stupid. Lei Pi probably knew that this was his It's a ploy.
Ou Ya over there looked at the granary and some traces around it, and quickly understood the purpose of Diao Si's quarrel just now. Lei Pi had hidden a lot of food, and she didn't want to help them.
"Earl, this is not only a matter for my royal family, but also related to the development of the entire Blazing Empire. Please help us. The food we took away today will be returned in full when the harvest comes!" Ou Ya Continue to plead.
Lei Pi glanced at her, then at the cunning Diao Si, then walked to the front of the grain warehouse, paused before responding to Ou Ya and said, "I think you really misunderstood, sir. This place used to be ours." The grain warehouse has been vacant for a long time, and now we can’t even get the key... "
"Don't be afraid, you don't have a key but you have me. I can open the door without a key. If you don't believe me, I'll show it to you now." Diao Si pretended to be stupid again and walked towards the door of the grain warehouse, but Lei Pi was blocking the door. There, don't let him pass.
"I think it's your distrust of me and prejudice against my family..." After Lei Pi said this, Ou Ya's expression suddenly changed. It seems that Lei Pi's family is not simple at all.
"Of course you don't trust me. Earl, do you think we are fools? Just now you said this is not a granary, then you changed your mind and said it was, and then you said there is no food here. Do you still need so many people to defend it without food?"
Diao Si's series of words left Lei Pi completely helpless. She really had no way to answer Diao Si's questions. She could only yell at him: "Do you know whose place this is? How dare you offend me, Lei Gang, like this?" family!"
Diao Si had not heard of the Lei Gang family, but seeing the expressions of Ou Ya and those dark crystal warriors, he knew that this Lei Gang family had a good background, but Diao Si did not pay attention to the Zhantian family and the Haowu family. Gui, are you still afraid that you, the Lei Gang family, will not succeed
"I'm sorry, if I'm offended, please greet your mother for me. If you feel it's not enough, you can attack me now... Please help take care of Master Ouya!"
The unruly dark elf reappeared in Diao Si's state, and the desire to fight had already taken over his heart. If Lei Pi didn't fight him now, he would be unhappy! (To be continued)
