Chapter 12: Infiltrating the City Lord's Mansion
On the night of two days after receiving the note from Hulym, Ye Chen and Louise returned to the room with fatigue after a day's work, and when they walked in the door, they saw a note, a crystal and a book on the table in the room.
"Ye Chen, this is what you want, that video crystal is a video of Baron Hamill and his noble companions talking about how his father collected taxes, and that book is the real account book of John Hamill's tax collection. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Uncle Ben is amazing, right? Remember to say more good things about me to His Majesty the Emperor, as long as His Majesty the Emperor can reward me with a big beauty, I won't do it after this vote, haha! By the way, let's go to the Thieves' Guild's bar tomorrow and the two of us have a good drink to celebrate, Hulimliu. “
"This kid said don't set up flags indiscriminately, but he doesn't listen. Forget it, Louise, let's go back to the palace, the mission is done. Ye Chen shook his head with a smile and burned the note, picked up the video crystal and the ledger and said to Louise.
"Great, finally back to the palace, I don't want to come back here again!" Louise jumped for joy as soon as she heard that the task was complete.
More than 10 minutes later, Emperor Frank looked at the two things in front of him happily and couldn't stop admiring Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, you are really good, worthy of being a brave man!" ”
After casually flipping through a few pages of the ledger, Emperor Frank's face turned extremely pale, and he snorted coldly and handed the video crystal and the ledger to Sean, "Hmph, this John Hamill is really big, copy these two things along with other evidence, and then hand them over to the Law Department and the Noble Council." ”
"Father, father, our mission is accomplished, right? You don't have to go back to that hotel, do you? Louise grabbed Emperor Frank's hand and said coquettishly.
Emperor Frank lovingly touched Louise's head and said softly, "Well, the task is done, Louise has done a great job, you can rest in the palace tonight, and you don't have to go to that hotel tomorrow." ”
Louise cheered and ran out of the room towards her bedroom, Ye Chen then also saluted Emperor Frank and prepared to leave the room to rest, "Ye Chen, wait." ”
Ye Chen turned around suspiciously, and Emperor Frank chuckled and said, "Is that friend of yours the shadow hand thief who fought with you in the Imperial Prison that day?" ”
Ye Chen nodded, and Emperor Frank continued: "Bring him to the palace when this matter is over, I am very interested in him." ”
"I will, Your Majesty." Saluting again, Ye Chen left the room.
The next morning, Ye Chen came to the bar of the Thieves' Guild as promised, and the bar was still deserted and there were not many people. After asking the bartender for a glass of ale, Ye Chen casually found a place and waited quietly for Hulim's arrival.
After waiting for a long time, Hulim's figure still did not appear, Ye Chen began to be a little impatient, and at this time, the two thieves walked into the bar chatting. From the chat between the two thieves, Ye Chen vaguely heard the words "Hulim", "arrested", and "City Lord's Mansion", and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
"What's wrong with Hulim?" Throwing a few gold coins onto the table where the two thieves were sitting, Ye Chen asked straight to the point.
One of the tall thieves carefully put away the gold coins, and said flatteringly: "I heard that Hulim was discovered when he sneaked into the City Lord's Mansion yesterday, and there were important things stolen from the City Lord's Mansion that night, so ......."
"Go on." Ye Chen threw out a few gold coins again.
"Good, thank you, thank you. So the lord of the castle thought that Hulim did it and asked Hulim to hand over the things, but Hulim insisted that he was just here to peep and did not steal, and I heard that he had been beaten to the point of not being human. ”
"Why is this Helim so fond of death? Looks like I'm going to have to go to the City Lord's Mansion, who made us cellmates, hehe. ”
Throwing two more gold coins to send the two thieves away, Ye Chen drank wine and thought about how to save Hulim from the City Lord's Mansion.
10 minutes later, Ye Chen appeared around the City Lord's Mansion, and was discovered by the patrolling guards as soon as he walked around the City Lord's Mansion a few times, so he could only find a random reason to send the guards away and end this time. It's a pity that Ye Chen didn't know that there was a pair of eyes in the City Lord's Mansion at this time watching him closely.
After two consecutive days of stepping on the spot, Ye Chen finally explored the terrain of the City Lord's Mansion, the time and route of the guards' patrol, as well as the suitable location and escape route, and sorted out a relatively perfect rescue plan, so Ye Chen decided to sneak into the City Lord's Mansion tonight to rescue Hulim.
At night, as curfew approached, the city of Fina fell silent, and the only sound of patrolling soldiers and the clashing of armor remained around the city lord's mansion. In a small alley not far from the City Lord's Mansion, Ye Chen was silently counting the time when the patrol soldiers left.
“…….5,4,3,2,1!” The wind elements quickly gathered, and Ye Chen's figure turned into a bolt of lightning and quickly climbed over the wall of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Who?" As soon as he landed, a suspicious voice sounded, Ye Chen wailed out a word of misfortune, and rushed towards the guard who had found him.
An accurate and neat blow knocked the guards unconscious, Ye Chen carefully dragged them into the flowers and hid them, and then lightly came to a window, poked his head out to look left and right, and turned over lightly into the corridor.
Quickly touching into a room, Ye Chen searched for a possible dark room, carefully examining every suspicious item in the room, and touching every place where there might be a mechanism.
Stomp ......
There was a sound of light footsteps in the corridor, slowly approaching the room where Ye Chen was from far and near, but unfortunately Ye Chen, who was immersed in looking for the dark room, did not notice it.
Step, step, step!
The footsteps in the corridor stopped at the door of the room, and at this time, Ye Chen finally noticed the movement outside the room.
"I'll go! I didn't hear the footsteps approaching, and the other party was already standing at the door, what should I do? What to do? ”
The door was gently pushed open by a hand, and the figure of a maid appeared in the doorway, but the room was empty at this time!
"Whew!" On the beams of the roof, a small exhalation sounded quietly, Ye Chen wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, looked at the maid who was cleaning the room below, and suddenly remembered a game he had played when he was in Lanxing.
"I don't seem to be the same as the assassin inside, if I'm wearing a white hoodie, hehe!" Ye Chen said in his heart.
After the maid finished cleaning, Ye Chen hurriedly lowered the beam and took a long breath of relief and prepared to leave the room, but as soon as Ye Chen's hand touched the door, the door was pushed open from the outside.
"Damn, are you still here?" Ye Chen immediately flashed behind the door, hiding the whole person in the shadow of the door.
The maid just now went and returned, followed by a guard, and when the two of them completely walked into the room with their backs to Ye Chen, Ye Chen quickly walked out of the shadows and lightly touched the corridor.
"Who are you?"
"Damn, I've been discovered." Ye Chen sighed in his heart, slowly turned around and suddenly rushed towards the guard to knock him unconscious, and then took out the guard's long sword and pressed it against the maid's neck and said fiercely: "Don't speak, don't think about screaming, otherwise I will kill you!" Say! Where's the thief who was caught? ”
The maid glanced at the long sword that flashed with cold light, trembled and said, "In the basement of the garden, no, don't kill me. ”
"Don't move!" Unleashing a water arrow and continuing to point at the maid, Ye Chen quickly pulled off the guard's clothes and changed them into his own, "Take me there now!" Don't try to call someone, or hum! ”
The maid nodded tremblingly and slowly walked out of the room, leading Ye Chen in the direction of the garden.
Along the way, Ye Chen observed the soldiers patrolling around, and found that the closer he got to the garden, the closer the guards patrolled, and couldn't help but sigh that he was fortunate to think of such a way, otherwise he would really not be able to save people.
After walking for a short time, the maid pointed to a piece of turf not far away and said, "There is a pull ring on that piece of ground, which opens to the entrance to the basement." ”
"Thanks, you're useless." Knocking the maid unconscious, Ye Chen quickly walked to the piece of turf to find the pull ring, and after observing the surroundings to make sure that there was no sound or figure, he pulled the pull ring hard.
With the sound of stones moving, a staircase appeared in front of Ye Chen, and as he walked down the stairs, the sound of whipping and scolding came from Ye Chen's ears from time to time.
Following the sound to find the past, Ye Chen finally saw a person who was beaten to the point that he was completely inhuman, and two guards who were laughing and scolding while whipping.
Seeing this person who had been beaten so much that he couldn't howl miserably, Ye Chen's heart felt a burst of annoyance for no reason, and he quickly knocked the two violent guards unconscious, picked up the whipped man and asked, "Hulim, Hulim, wake up!" ”
The man who was whipped trembled and said, "Are you here to save me?" However, my name is not Helim, the man you are talking about is in the innermost room. ”
"Okay, you can rest for a while, and I'll get you out." Helping the man to the wall, Ye Chen rushed to the innermost cell, and finally saw Hulim, who was sleeping soundly.
Hulim's body was white and pure, and he didn't look like he had been abused, and from time to time he smashed his mouth and said a few words in his sleep, and people who didn't know thought he was here for a vacation, which made Ye Chen angry and funny.
"Damn, I ran to save you in fear, you kid slept soundly, hurry up for me!"
"Huh? I'm dreaming about dating a, which guy ruined my good dreams? Awakened, Hulim quickly sat up and looked around.
Ye Chen patted the railing of the cell and scolded with a smile: "Your uncle, me!" Did you kid get caught, or did you come on vacation? Can you look like a prisoner? ”
"Oh, Ye Chen, you wait, I'll come out right away." Hulim patted his ass and stood up, and the next second pushed open the cell door and walked out, "It's still not soft enough here, it's not as good as the Imperial Prison to sleep in, let's go." ”
"I'm more and more suspicious now that I shouldn't have come to save you, and I feel that you're doing well here."
"Alright, alright, let's go."
Back in the cell just now, Ye Chen picked up the man who had fallen into a coma and Hulim and slowly walked towards the ground.
"Where are you going?" As they were about to reach the exit, a dark voice rang out from the ground and reached the ears of the two men.
