Chapter 22 Invasion
Ye Junwen just thought about trying to win over the nobles. Of course, the most preferred one is Clovi, the city lord of this city. If he can win over the city lord, it is of course the best choice for the moment. He originally wanted to try to find a way to see the city lord today, but it is generally difficult to see the city lord. Just when he was trying to find a way, he suddenly received news that the city lord was dead?
Ye Junwen quickly asked the hotel owner about the specific situation. The news he received was as follows: City Lord Clovi was indeed dead, the cause of death was... death in battle. About a month ago, the priest of theirs had a war with another principality next to him. City Lord Clovi received the order from above to lead his troops to the battlefield. As a result, he received an obituary this morning, and the priest of the city died in battle.
However, the news was a bit late. Cloway died four days ago. Before that, I didn’t know if the news was late or blocked. When the people in the city heard the news, it was this morning, and the whole city immediately became chaotic.
With the news that the city lord was dead, there was another news, that was the news of the heir. Because the city lord was dead, his identity was of course inherited by his heir. The news that has been obtained at present is that the heir of the city lord Clovi, Serina Clovi, had already entered the city in the early morning of this morning.
This Serina Clovie is the son of the previous city lord. He heard that he was in another place before. According to Ye Junwen's estimate, the other party should have known about his father's death first, and then he could hide it. After all, as the heir, he was still in another place, so he announced the news until he arrived at the territory, so he avoided unexpected situations.
However, from the hotel owner, Ye Junwen also knew that the civilians here generally expressed concern about the current situation. The main problem was that Serina Clovi's reputation was very poor.
The newly-dead City Lord Clovi should be a good city lord, but his son Serina, according to the hotel owner, is a cursed person. It is said that the other party is suffering from leprosy, looks extremely ugly, and seems to be mentally ill. Many leaders have never seen this heir. The city Lord Clovi doesn't seem to like this son. About 4 years ago, the city Lord Clovi sent Serina out of Ledesca City, and the leaders don't know where to send it. Anyway, they probably were exiled or something.
However, the City Lord Clovi was very unfortunate, and there was no hurry. After all, the City Lord Clovi is only 40 years old this year and can still be the City Lord for decades. However, what I didn't expect was that the sudden bad news came unexpectedly. Now that Clovi died suddenly, of course his territory could only be inherited by Serina, so there was no problem with Serina coming back. However, everyone expressed concerns about this lord with a very poor reputation.
"I don't know what the new Lord is like..." The hotel owner couldn't help but say it again.
Ye Junwen can't control how worried the boss is. For him, what is important is his own business development issue. It would be great if the new lord could have a relationship with the other party. Thinking of this, Ye Junwen felt that whether he was new or not, it would be true that he would find a way to meet the other party.
Of course, ordinary methods are definitely not visible. He, a nameless person, wants to see the city lord. How is this possible? If this happens, the city lord is not busy. If he wants to see him, he should use some special means. Ye Junwen thought about it and thought that his behavior might be a bit risky, but he seemed to have to do it. You must know that he has no money to stay in a hotel now. If he didn't think of a solution today, he might have to sleep on the streets, which would be a bit miserable, so Ye Junwen could only take some risks.
Thinking of this, Ye Junwen also sorted out the things a little, then left the hotel, aiming at the city lord's mansion in the middle of the city. Along the way, Ye Junwen took a look at the situation in the city again. Although it was still morning, there were already many people moving in the city. However, today's atmosphere was obviously different from when Ye Junwen was shopping yesterday. Ye Junwen listened a little and was indeed discussed. As expected, everyone was discussing the news of the death of the city lord, and for this new city lord, it seemed that everyone's opinions were the same and they were very worried.
After a while, Ye Junwen also came to the vicinity of the City Lord's Mansion. The City Lord's Mansion in Ledeska City happened to be located in the center of the city. The situation here is completely different from the environment where Ye Junwen was before, and it looks much cleaner. Ye Junwen probably understood that the place where he was before should be a civilian commercial area, and this place is the City Lord's Mansion after all.
The City Lord's Mansion is very large, and there is a circle of walls around it, which clearly separates the City Lord's Mansion from the surrounding buildings. Through the wall, Ye Junwen only saw the roof of a three-story building in the City Lord's Mansion. At present, it seems that it is still very magnificent.
"How do you see the city lord?" Ye Junwen of course didn't get close. He stood in the distance and watched for a while. The first method he could use was to sneak in and try to see if he could meet the city lord with his fake identity as a businessman. However, this probably wouldn't work. After all, the old city lord has just died now, and you still want the new city lord to have time to control you, the new businessman? Second, wait at the door to see if there is a chance to see the city lord come out. However, the time for this method is not sure, and I can't wait, so the only way left is to... sneak in. First meet the city lord and try to talk to the other party. If it doesn't work, then I'm not afraid of death anyway. As long as I don't reveal my identity, I can't find myself safely.
However, this method is of course quite difficult. First, Ye Junwen saw that there were many guards at the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion, and then there were patrol teams. There were a lot of patrol teams in this area, usually in groups of five or six people, soldiers holding spears. It was not easy to get in, let alone in broad daylight.
"Or why don't you try it until night?" Ye Junwen is still very confident in his current skills. He was used to his health when he was in the forest before. Besides, Ye Junwen is still somewhat experienced in stealth, so by the time of night, he might be able to sneak in.
However, just as I was thinking this, a ringtone suddenly came from the direction of the city lord's mansion in front of me, which was the kind of ringtone ringing. When I heard this ringtone, the patrol team around me became nervous and immediately rushed towards the direction where the ringtone was emitted.
"Hmm?" Ye Junwen was a little stunned when he saw this situation. This should be an alarm, but it must be not himself. He hasn't acted yet. Could it be that there are other people besides himself who want to break into the City Lord's Mansion? Although he didn't know what the situation was, this emergencies gave Ye Junwen a chance. Is there a better opportunity than this? Seeing the patrol team leave, Ye Junwen took out a hooded hood from the space and put it on his body, then accelerated directly and rushed to the wall of the City Lord's Mansion.
The wall was very high and there were barbs on it, which prevented people from climbing in easily. However, Ye Junwen was very skilled now and was not afraid of barbs. He accelerated and kicked the wall twice, then directly grabbed the thorns on it, and with force, he turned over. He looked at the situation below, because the caller seemed to be in another direction, and no one noticed him. Ye Junwen even saw many guards moving, and the other party could see him when he turned his head, but their attention was on the other side.
I looked around and saw that there were several buildings in the wall of the city lord's mansion, but the city lord must be in the largest building in the middle. While there was no one, Ye Junwen immediately approached the side of the building. After a little look, it was more troublesome to enter the first floor. The windows close to him were closed, so he could not knock the window into it. However, Ye Junwen looked up and found that the balcony on the second floor was easier to climb in, so he accelerated and stepped onto the balcony again, and as soon as he turned over, he went up.
As soon as he went up, Ye Junwen was stunned because he saw someone appearing in the room. The person in front of him was a woman, very young, with short black hair and a very beautiful face. He was considered a beauty. At this time, the other party was only wearing a thin cloth. When Ye Junwen saw her, the other party was putting something on her body. It looked carefully as if it was a thinner armor of the chain mail type.
Both sides were stunned when they saw the other party, but Ye Junwen was still quick to react and immediately took two steps forward and rushed towards the other party.
"You..." The woman opposite saw Ye Junwen pounced over and realized that she wanted to resist, but her armor was halfway through and her hand was still stuck. Before she could do anything, Ye Junwen covered the other party's mouth and then directly pressed the other party to the ground.
"Don't move!" Ye Junwen said immediately.
Even though he said so, the woman here continued to struggle. Just when Ye Junwen wanted to continue talking, he suddenly heard a "bang" sound next to him. The door of the room opened and a figure appeared at the gate.
Ye Junwen looked up and saw a man in his forties appear. When he saw the situation in the room, the other party was obviously stunned. Ye Junwen didn't know what to do at this time, and the two sides looked at each other very strangely for a few seconds.
