“？？？？” Ye Junwen has a black question mark on his face, what the hell is this, he can't keep up with the rhythm anymore.

"Selena!" Ella, the female knight next to her, was also a little anxious and immediately shouted.

"Obviously, you shouldn't be in the same league as them." Selena stopped Ella from speaking again, and then continued to Ye Junwen, "You just said that you are a businessman, so make a deal with me." ”

"Hmm...... Anyway, just pretend to be you, and then you pretend to be my fiancée, right? Ye Junwen probably understood, "After all, you seem to be being hunted down now, which means that I will be your shadow warrior, right?" ”

"What is a Shadow Warrior?" Selena didn't know much about this word, but she still knew the general meaning of Ye Junwen, "It's not like you, it's not the situation where you want to die for me, but this land needs a male heir." ”

Selena looked at Ye Junwen, and then quickly explained the current situation. The cause of everything is Selena's father, the former city lord, Trio. Clovis. This Clovis city lord was injured before, which caused him to lose the ability to have children, but fortunately, his wife was pregnant, and he did not cut off the heir. However, what I didn't expect was that the child who was born was indeed a girl, of course, Selena in front of her.

According to the Empire's inheritance law, the male priority inheritance law, although the girl can inherit the family business, but only if there is no suitable male heir in the family. However, there are other male heirs to the Clovis family, as the Lord of Trio has a younger brother, Relo. Clovis, Selena's uncle, if the lord of the castle has no male heirs, according to the inheritance law, the first heir is his younger brother.

Of course, both of them belong to the same family, and theoretically there seems to be no problem with the younger brother's inheritance, but the relationship between the city lord of Clovis and his younger brother is not very good, and in order to win the inheritance of the title, he knows his brother's desire for the title, so once his younger brother succeeds to the throne, his whole family will definitely die without a place to be buried. Of course, he also loves his wife and Selena's daughter, so he came up with a way to disguise his daughter Selena as a male heir.

So Selena became Serina, and except for her parents and a few henchmen of the city lord, no one else knew about it. Selena has also been cultivated as a boy since she was a child, and when she announced it to the public, she also said that the city lord had a male heir, but the problem is that girls can also develop, and this is the age of development, and it is a little impossible to hide.

So the city lord sent Selena to the field, in fact, of course, to hide. Originally, according to Trio's plan, he would first solve his brother's piece, and then announce Selena's true identity, and then there would be no competitors anyway, of course, it would be okay, but what I didn't expect was that there was an accident, Trio himself died suddenly, and Selena received the news and could only rush back in a hurry to preside over the overall situation.

As for his uncle, Lei Luo. On Clovis's side, this is more troublesome, although the other party did not inherit the title, but the mix is quite good. He also has his own forces, and he can still be difficult to deal with, so the city lord Clovis can't find any chance to kill the other party.

As for the rumors outside, the city lord's son Selena had leprosy, insanity or something, of course, these were all made by Lei Luo's side, he was still very eager for the title, but he didn't dare to take the initiative against Clovis City, so he tried to find a way to start with his only heir. Of course, he didn't know that the child of the city lord of Clovis was a girl, otherwise it would have been announced a long time ago, he only knew that Selena rarely appeared in front of outsiders, so these rumors ruined her. For these rumors, although the city lord of Clovis is angry, there is no way to clarify it, because the best way is to let Selena show up and say that it is all fake, but she can't show her face, because the inheritance law here is like this.

"So these assassins were also sent by your uncle?" Ye Junwen nodded after listening and asked.

"Obviously, you don't have to look it up." Selena said, "As long as I die, the land and the title are all his, so who else can do such a thing but him." ”

Ye Junwen asked a few more words and found that the current situation was very dangerous. Ye Junwen was also strange before, although it was said that there were assassins, it was too easy for him to sneak into this city lord's mansion, but now he probably knew what was going on from Selena's mouth. The reason is very simple, that is because most of the soldiers in the city have already followed the city lord to the front line to fight, didn't it be said that the city lord was killed in battle, and of course the soldiers in the city also went to fight, so there are not many people left, resulting in the number of soldiers in the city now being smaller, plus someone assassinating, it will be easier for Ye Junwen to sneak in.

As for the people outside, they are all civil officials in the city, and all the generals and the like have also gone to the front line, these civil officials, they don't know Selena very well, after all, Selena has been away from the city for 4 years, and Selena only returned here in the middle of the night last night, and she entered the city in secret, and they misrecognized Ye Junwen before, and they didn't expect Selena to be a woman at all, seeing that there was a man and a woman in the room where the new city lord was, they naturally regarded Ye Junwen as the new city lord.

As for the female knight Ella beside her, she is Selena's personal bodyguard, a knight who swears allegiance to Selena, and of course she also knows Selena's identity.

"I see." Ye Junwen already fully understands the current situation, Selena really needs a stand-in, and someone happened to mistake herself for her, maybe the other party thought of this plan, so he took the opportunity to propose a deal to himself. If the new city lord is a man, all the problems will be easier to solve, and Lei Luo over there wants to seek the title, and he will not use normal means. Because Selena is a woman, Lei Luo's claim is higher than Linna's, and the other party can use legitimate means to claim that this title belongs to him, and even call other people to help, because his reasons are legitimate and legitimate, but now he can't, this difference is still very big.

"I've said my business, now let's talk about you." Selena suddenly said, "I've heard this, I think you should have this idea too, right?" ”

Ye Junwen did have this idea, he originally wanted to cooperate with the nobles, after all, if he found someone to help, his progress would be very smooth, otherwise he didn't know where to start, then now it's not just about finding the nobles to cooperate, this is directly becoming a nobleman, this seems to be more cool, and it is more convenient to do things.

"My name is Ye Junwen." Ye Junwen said directly.

"That's a strange name." Selena also said that the previous few people also felt strange when they heard Ye Junwen's name.

"Yes, I'm not from here." Ye Junwen said, "I come from a distant country called Datang, I belong to a consortium, or your side of the Chamber of Commerce, the purpose of my here is to trade with this side, simply put, to do business here, but the price of the things I want to sell is relatively high, not for ordinary civilians, so I want to find some nobles to cooperate." ”

"A merchant?" Selena nodded, "You just said that you sold salt, is it true?" ”

"It's true." Ye Junwen nodded, "At present, the first batch of goods I brought is really salt, of course, it is very precious salt, which is different from the one here, and of course the price is relatively high." ”

Ye Junwen has also investigated before, after all, it is what he wants to sell. Of course, there are salt, sugar and other things here, but because of the production process, they are all shoddy things, have you ever seen yellow, red, or even black salt? This is the kind of thing used here, and the production process must be too poor, resulting in the trace elements not being filtered clean, so there will be impurities of various colors. And Ye Junwen has salt made by modern industry, of course, it is snow-white and free of impurities, and the quality of the two sides is different, and Ye Junwen will certainly not sell it at the general price.

However, Selena's concern now is not the problem of Ye Junwen's goods at all, she still has the problem of survival that has not been solved, and she can't take care of money.

"That's good, if you cooperate with me, you will be the new city owner here, of course, it is very simple to open a chamber of commerce here, so that we can cooperate, right." Selena asked.

"You...... That's right. Ye Junwen thought about it a little and decided to agree to Selena's deal, after all, it is good for him, and then you say the danger problem? doesn't exist, Ye Junwen is not afraid of death, and if he becomes a nobleman, it is very convenient to pull hatred by himself.

He remembered one thing, that is, when he was killed by Huang Mao for the first time, the other party seemed to recognize the wrong person and thought that he was Liu Jiaqiang, but even if he was mistaken, his ring still played a role, that is to say, as long as it was aimed at himself, whether he recognized the wrong person or not, it could be counted. Now I don't have any grievances in the other world, but there are people I want to pretend to be, isn't this his uncle a person who hates her, that is to say, not only is he not in danger now, but if he wants to find a way to go back, it is much easier to find someone.

"But the question of your fiancée is ......," Ye Junwen asked.

"From now on, my identity is your fiancée, and then, it's not impossible to make this thing true, as long as it ...... If you can survive. Selena said.
