Chapter 476: Undefended Lord's Mansion
"Don't question the credibility of our Kappa family, are you ready for the money?"
The two broken nobles tried their best to put on a majestic posture, and each took out an invitation card from the wide cuffs of the hole, and handed it to Hassan.
After taking the invitation, Hasen carefully checked it, and after confirming that it was correct, he took out twenty gold coins and handed them to the two broken nobles and said, "Please forgive me for being disrespectful, two noble lords, this is what you deserve." ”
It's just that the attention of the two broken nobles is completely attracted by the gold coins in Hasen's hand, who cares what he says. One took ten gold coins, and after biting each of them in his mouth, to make sure that there was no adulteration, he stuffed them into their wide cuffs.
The two of them, who had money, seemed to have enough confidence, didn't talk to Hasen anymore, patted the dust on their shoulders, and slowly paced away with their heads held high.
This scene directly amused Li Yunyang, and he smiled and said, "President Hassen, you are really an eye-opener for me, I can even buy invitations to the banquet of the Lord's Mansion!"
Hasen handed Li Yunyang an invitation, and waited for the two broken nobles to go away before replying with a smile: "There is nothing in this world that cannot be bought, only whether it is worth buying, although these two banquet invitations are of little use to those two noble lords, but for us, we can take this opportunity to enter the banquet held by the lord to develop contacts." ”
As soon as these words came out, Li Yunyang suddenly realized, and only then did he understand why when buying goods, Hasen, who could break a copper into two flowers, would be so generous to take ten gold coins to buy Caparos's banquet invitation.
As Hasson said, the two dilapidated nobles took those two invitations, and even if they entered the banquet, they would at most satisfy their appetite for a while, and maybe they would be ridiculed by others because of their shabby clothes.
It is better to sell to a merchant like Hasson, who wants to have a relationship with a nobleman who really has a status in Grey Limburg, expand his contacts at the banquet, and facilitate them to do business in Grey Limburg.
Looking at the golden invitation card in his hand, Li Yunyang couldn't help but smile, this thin invitation, the cost of making zuò is no more than one gold coin at most. But Hasson bought it for ten gold coins, and instead of being expensive at all, he took advantage of it.
For Hasson, a man of few quick minds and good conversations, if they were given access to the upper echelons of Grey Limburg, they would be able to make great gains for themselves in a short period of time.
Holding the invitation card and following Hasen to the gate of the Lord's Mansion in Gray Grove Castle, Li Yunyang handed the invitation card in his hand to the guard at the door to check, but the other party only confirmed the authenticity of the invitation, so he didn't ask anything more, and didn't seem to care at all about whether he was the real inviter of the invitation.
"This is the rule set by the lord of Caparos, only accepting invitations and not people, which can be regarded as a disguised way to give the broken nobles attached to him a way to live. ”
Seeing the puzzled look on Li Yunyang's face, Hasen explained to him while leading him to the banquet hall: "Although Gray Forest Fort is located on the border of the empire, it is a commercial and transportation hub in the west of the empire. ”
Just now, when Li Yunyang was waiting for Hasen to buy invitations, he saw dozens of dilapidated aristocrats discussing the price of invitations with small businessmen from other places.
After Hasen's explanation, Li Yunyang couldn't help but admire Caparos a little, he was able to support a large number of broken nobles under him without spending a penny.
Being able to succeed to the throne without being casually charged and killed, with a territory comparable to the size of dozens of Pavas towns, secretly rebelling, and making His Majesty the King dare not openly send troops against him, it seems that this Caparos is not a simple character.
The Lord's Mansion in Grey Limburg is completely different from the General's Mansion in the small town of Parvas, which has a military fortress-like style. The whole mansion is full of the kind of big courtyard with three entrances and three exits, which divides the lord's mansion into nine areas, and there are pavilions, flowers, birds, and water pavilions in the courtyard, which is a standard place of pleasure.
Moreover, Li Yunyang and Hasen have been walking for so long, except for the guards standing guard at the gates of each courtyard, there is no patrol soldier in the huge lord's mansion.
At first, Li Yunyang thought that Caparos had a secret post in the mansion, which made him look carefully, but he didn't find half a figure.
You must know that unless the strength of the dark whistle is a few points more powerful than Li Yunyang, or the dark whistle has special concealment skills, it is impossible to escape his search.
Just when Li Yunyang was puzzled, Hassen didn't know whether he had discovered his intentions, or unconsciously sighed: "To say that Lord Caparos can be regarded as a strange person, he has been assassinated many times, but he has never stationed heavy troops in the lord's mansion, and there is no master around him to protect him, even if most of those assassinations are fake, but there are still real assassins mixed in, but he has never been harmed at all." ”
Unsure if Hasen wanted to take the opportunity to trap him, Li Yunyang quietly withdrew his gaze and said with a smile: "Maybe Lord Caparos is a master himself, so he doesn't need the protection of others. ”
When Hasen heard this, he shook his head, looked around, and smiled at Li Yunyang in a gloating tone: "Lord Caparos is a master, I have participated in several banquets held by him, but he often presides over banquets with a blue nose and swollen face, if he is a master, how can he be beaten like that by his few wives?"
Li Yunyang didn't expect that Hasen, who has always been a shrewd businessman, would have such a gossip side, and he also followed Hasen's topic: "Maybe Lord Caparos is really a master, but he also serves as a strict wife." ”
"Strict wife?"
This word Hasen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, a little didn't understand what Li Yunyang meant, but he thought back to the previous words a little, and he immediately said with a clear expression: "The meaning of that sentence, could it be that the soft egg on the bed is not successful?" Maybe this is the only reason that can explain why there are women's scratches on the lord's face, speaking of which, Master Leilin, you are really well-informed." ”
Looking at Hassen's teasing expression, Li Yunyang knew that he would be mistaken, but he didn't explain much, and silently wrote down the route of the Lord's Mansion between talking and laughing, so that he could quickly evacuate after the assassination.
Coming to a spacious courtyard, Hasen quietly stuffed a gold coin into each of the pockets of the soldiers guarding the door, and then walked into the courtyard with Li Yunyang with his head held high.
Without waiting for Li Yunyang to ask, Hasen explained the reason for giving the guards the reward just now, and said: "There is a way that the king of Hades is easy to see that little ghosts are difficult, this is the old rule of the lord's mansion, like the people who come in with us who buy invitations, if they don't give these guards some rewards, they will kick us out under the pretext of making trouble in the middle of the banquet." ”
This is just entering the banquet hall of the General's Mansion, there are so many potential rules, Li Yunyang has no doubt at all, this banquet alone can make Caparos and his subordinates make a lot of money.
It seems that this guy really didn't waste his status as the king's own brother, so blatantly amassing money, I'm afraid that all this money has flowed into his army as military expenses.
Sure enough, after Li Yunyang and Hassen walked into the banquet hall, they looked at the side of the entrance, where there were mountains of gifts, including gold, silver and jewelry, and there was no shortage of rare and precious things.
For example, the tusks of a pair of ice demon elephants more than 20 meters long, the entire Demon Land Dragon Skin, and the hundred-year-old ice spirit that exudes a faint cold light are all in demand on the market, and no matter which one is taken out, it can be sold for a good price.
As for the gifts that were collected in the boxes and boxes, Li Yunyang couldn't see them, but he was sure that there must be more precious things inside.
Hassan picked up the two gifts he had prepared and sent them to the registration place at the door of the banquet hall, and the servant in charge of receiving the gifts glanced at the gifts he had given, although he still had a smiling face, but there was a trace of disdain in his eyes, obviously a little dissatisfied with Hassin's gifts.
However, Hasen shrugged his shoulders indifferently, presumably after experiencing too many such scenes, after giving the gifts, he took Li Yunyang to the nobles and merchants who came to the banquet hall early and began to talk.
Li Yunyang had no intention of having a relationship with these nobles, so he explained a few words to Hassen, and then turned around in the banquet hall, observing the terrain of the banquet hall, looking for the guards who might be lurking in the crowd.
However, after searching for a long time, Li Yunyang never found any guards in existence, most of the people present were so weak that they could be pinched to death with one finger, and occasionally there were two people with similar strength, and they were all guards brought by these nobles and merchants.
After slowly walking around the banquet hall for a few laps, Li Yunyang still couldn't believe his conclusion, if he directly assassinated Caparos here, he could leave calmly from the nine passages of the banquet hall, except for a few nobles' personal guards and two guards at the door, there would hardly be any pursuers to chase him!
Now there are only two possibilities, either the previous assassinations were all directed and acted by Caparos, so he will not take any precautions, or Caparos himself is a master and is very confident in his skills, so he does not worry about being assassinated.
If it is the former, Li Yunyang will definitely be able to kill Caparos today, complete the task and leave, if it is the latter, Li Yunyang will have to come up with a perfect plan, lest the assassination fail, but be left here by Caparos, then it will be a lot of fun.
