Chapter XXIII
"Huh?" Ye Junwen was stunned, the other party's words seemed to be said to himself. It stands to reason that he is an assassin, and now he is still pressing a woman, and the other party is still so calm to let himself go to the safe room to hide?
"Recognize the wrong person?" Ye Junwen suddenly realized this problem, and when he contacted the previous information, he probably understood. I heard the innkeeper say before that the new city lord seems to be a person who has leprosy and is disfigured, and then the other party only came to the city lord's mansion in the middle of the night last night, and he is now wearing a pocket clothes, and he was also covering his face, maybe the other party saw that his figure was a bit similar to the new city lord, so he mistakenly thought that he was the city lord.
As for the woman he pressed, he didn't need to explain too much, after all, the nobles were nothing special about doing this kind of thing in the room.
Thinking about what the situation was, Ye Junwen thought about it and said directly to the man: "I know, you go out." β
"Huh? But the city lord ...... "What else did the other party want to say, but Ye Junwen also gave the other party a chance to speak, and said again, "You go out!" β
"Yes......" The other party didn't seem to have much to do, and looked at Ye Junwen with a little disappointed eyes, and then pushed the door out.
"Whew......" Ye Junwen breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the woman on the ground a little strangely. It stands to reason that in this situation, the other party should quickly find a way to call for help if he sees someone coming in, but the other party does not have any fierce struggle, even if Ye Junwen lets the other party out, she doesn't have any special actions, as if she doesn't want to call for help to the man just now.
"This is the city lord's room?" Ye Junwen looked around, and then asked the woman on the ground. The layout of this room looked very luxurious, and Ye Junwen saw a huge quadrangular family crest hanging on the bed, coupled with the man's name before, he felt that this should be the city lord's room.
The woman was covered by Ye Junwen's mouth, but she didn't particularly resist, looking at Ye Junwen's expression was a little strange, and when she heard Ye Junwen's question, the other party nodded.
"What about the city lord?" Ye Junwen asked, thought about it, and just saw a dagger next to him, it could be this woman's weapon, wasn't this woman still wearing armor before, this weapon should be matched with armor, so Ye Junwen also picked up the dagger directly, and then put it against the other party's neck, "Don't roar, otherwise you will wipe it directly." β
"Hmm." The other party nodded, and then let out a nasal sound, which should have agreed.
Ye Junwen let go of his hand, because he had pressed a little hard before, and the circle of the other party's mouth was red, as if the teeth had been pressed out with a little blood. However, the other party didn't have time to care about this, and asked directly at Ye Junwen, "Who are you?" Assassin? β
"Uh......" Ye Junwen suddenly didn't know how to answer, do you believe me to do business? But when I think I don't need to answer her, this is not the time for me to ask questions, "Don't talk nonsense, what about the city lord?" β
"......" The other party did not speak.
"Hey...... I don't have time for you. Ye Junwen thought about it after speaking, this woman may be the woman of the city lord, maybe she was worried that she would be unfavorable to the city lord, so she didn't say it, so she could only say it: "I'm not here to assassinate the city lord, you may not believe it, I'm here to talk to the city lord about business, so you don't have to worry about ......"
"Talking about business?" The woman was also slightly stunned, "What kind of business to talk about." β
"Uh...... Do you believe in selling salt? Ye Junwen asked.
The other party didn't speak, and probably looked at Ye Junwen with an expression of "you TN is teasing me".
"I'm really here to sell salt,......" Ye Junwen said he had a headache, "I have some good things here and want to make a move, and I want to cooperate with the city lord, but it's still difficult to meet the city lord, and I don't have much time to choose this method." β
The other party still continued to look at it with an expression of "you TN is teasing me", and there was no change at all.
"I ......" Ye Junwen was about to say something, but suddenly heard a loud "bang" next to him, and then the sound of a large pile of glass breaking, and when he looked up, a figure broke the window directly and rushed into the room.
Ye Junwen looked at the other party's dress, this person may really be an assassin, wearing brown clothes, some leather armor, and then holding a sword in his hand, this is not an assassin.
After the other party came in, he also looked left and right, but as a result, he saw Ye Junwen, and the moment the two met their eyes, the other party rushed towards Ye Junwen without saying a word.
"!" Ye Junwen instantly understood that this product also regarded himself as the city lord. Of course, it is unclear to say now, seeing the people rushing over, Ye Junwen quickly got up. At this time, the ring on his hand is not lit, which means that the other party does not hate himself, this is normal, looking at this way, the other party is just an assassin, killing himself is just a task for the other party, there should be no hatred, then the other side can't kill himself. However, Ye Junwen didn't want to be cut either, as he said before, although he would not die, being beaten would make him stronger, which was not good for his long-term goals.
However, the other party's figure was a bit fast, Ye Junwen didn't have much time to react, he just had another dagger in his hand, looking at the sword cut down by the other party, Ye Junwen directly raised the dagger and blocked it.
However, what he didn't expect was that at this moment, the blue light on the opponent's sword body flashed, and he suddenly swung the sword to accelerate, and directly cut off the dagger blocked by Ye Junwen with a sword, and then slashed into Ye Junwen's shoulder, and slashed to the chest.
"Huh?" Ye Junwen didn't know what the situation was, but he didn't have time to think about it now, it was estimated that this blow was successful, and the other party seemed to be defenseless, taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Junwen directly raised the remaining half of the dagger, and quickly stabbed forward, directly into the opponent's throat.
"What...... "......Until he was stabbed, the other party didn't react, because his sword was deadly, and it had already been cut from the shoulder to the opponent's chest, and Ye Junwen could still counterattack and hit his throat at this time? Who would have thought of this, but regret was useless, and soon blood spurted out of the wound, and the assassin also rolled his eyes and fell down.
"Well...... of course Ye Junwen was fine, when the other party fell, the sword was also taken out by the other party, and the wound healed in an instant, except for a little damage to his clothes, there was no big problem. looked at the woman next to him, the other party also saw the previous situation, as if he was frightened and didn't react, Ye Junwen frowned, he didn't know how to deal with it, but he didn't expect that there was suddenly another figure in front of him, and he came in directly from the window where the assassin jumped in before.
"Selena, it's okay!" What surprised Ye Junwen a little was that it was a woman who came in this time, the other party was of medium height, wearing a silver armor, with long golden hair tied into a ponytail fluttering behind her head, moth eyebrows, and bright eyes. This is a heroic female knight, as if she has a light on her body, and as soon as she appears, the surroundings light up.
However, the moment the other party saw Ye Junwen, he immediately showed a vigilant expression. The other party's sword was already in his hand, and at this time, it seemed that he was going to do it to himself again.
"MD is not endless, this is also an assassin?" Ye Junwen was also a little speechless, how could anyone think that he was the city lord, there was no way, he happened to have the assassin's sword just now at hand, Ye Junwen picked it up directly, ready to fight back.
"Wait, Ella." At this moment, the woman who had been pressed by Ye Junwen before suddenly stood up and shouted at the female knight.
The female knight named Ella stopped suddenly, and then she also noticed that the situation was a little strange, after all, there was a person in front of Ye Junwen, and this person seemed to be the assassin she had just chased. However, she still doesn't know who Ye Junwen is here.
"Bang", at this time, the door on this side was suddenly opened again, and several people turned their heads to find that it was still the middle-aged man who came in before, and the other party was still carrying a team of soldiers. Seeing the situation in the room, the other party immediately asked Ye Junwen, "City Lord!" You okay! β
"Huh?" Ye Junwen was slightly stunned, and looked at the female knight named Ella next to him, the person who came in may be from the City Lord's Mansion, and the other party didn't seem to be very surprised by the existence of this female knight, this person may not be an assassin.
"It's fine." Now that this is the case, Ye Junwen can only continue to pretend, "The assassin was killed by me, drag it out." β
"Alas, you ......" Ella here heard Ye Junwen speak and was about to question it, but the woman next to her stretched out her hand slightly and stopped her. The middle-aged man didn't pay attention to this situation, but Ye Junwen did.
"You all go out, don't come in without my orders." Ye Junwen said suddenly.
"Huh? No, Lord of the Castle, this Assassin ......"
"...... Get out! Ye Junwen shouted directly.
"Yes......" said so, and the middle-aged man could only go out, signaling the two soldiers to grab the corpse on the ground, and then directly went out and closed the door.
"You...... Is it the new city owner? Ye Junwen looked directly at the short-haired woman and asked, seeing this, he suddenly understood. Before, the female knight called her Selena, and the son of the city lord was called Serina, which is the same no matter how you look at it.
"Do you want to be a nobleman?" Selena asked suddenly.
"You, you want me to pretend to be you?" Ye Junwen asked, he probably guessed what the other party meant, isn't it that someone has already admitted the mistake, there is more than one.
"Are you married? Have a fiancΓ©e? Selena didn't answer, but asked directly.
"Huh? Belch...... No. Although he didn't know what was going on, Ye Junwen still answered.
"Good, now you have."
