Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Book of Contracts
"Oh, didn't Childe have ever tasted fresh goldfish?" the woman looked at Ye Xing with a surprised expression.
Obviously, she also knows the difference between her own goldenrod and the fresh goldenrod that has just been caught by the West Sea.
Putting down the chopsticks, Ye Xing tilted his head slightly to look at the woman: "When I was young, I was fortunate enough to go to the West Sea with the adults of the clan a few times, and I once caught the golden thread fish with my own hands. ”
"I see. ”
The woman seemed thoughtful, nodded no longer in doubt, and then continued to divide the fish and meat for the two.
"What does Brother Ye think of the taste of this fish?" Seeing this, Long Jiu put down his chopsticks and spoke again.
This small plate of goldenrod fish, that is very expensive, it cost ten gold coins of Long Jiuzu, converted into copper coins, that is, 10,000 copper.
This is equivalent to ten months' salary for an ordinary soldier in the Eastern Army.
Of course, for the Long Jiu family, this may not be nothing, but for the Long Jiu family, it is still a little painful.
After all, he is not the main line of the family, but just a side branch, and his monthly money is only fifty gold coins.
However, he is such a person, but he has the ambition to be the master of Longshan City in his heart.
After the dinner, Long Jiuping retreated from everyone, and then looked at Ye Xing.
"Brother Ye, to be honest, I won't go around the bend with you, the reason why I asked Brother Ye to talk about it is that I hope Brother Ye can help Long. ”
Long Jiu announced it directly and honestly, and in his own opinion, it was already full of sincerity.
"Oh, what can I help you?" Ye Xing was not surprised, from the moment the two met, Ye Xing could feel that Long Jiu had a somewhat close mentality.
At this moment, Long Jiu was silent, he stood up and walked to the window.
Seeing this, Ye Xing didn't care, picked up the teacup by himself, and continued to drink by himself.
Long Jiu is not in a hurry, and he will naturally not be in a hurry.
After a long time, Long Jiu turned around and walked in front of Ye Xing.
"Have you thought about it?" Without waiting for Long Jiu to speak, Ye Xing asked in advance.
"I've thought about it. Long Jiu seemed to have made up his mind, and his gaze went straight at Ye Xing.
"I want to become the lord of Longshan City, I wonder if Brother Ye can help me? If it happens, I can hand over ten years of taxes from Longshan City to you. Long Jiu stared at Ye Xing deadly.
This step of Long Jiu can be said to be a must.
Otherwise, when he returns to Longshan City, what awaits him is complete marginalization, and he will be far away from the power center of Longshan City.
And his vein will not be able to come out for a long time, and will be suppressed by other veins until he disappears into this world.
Long Jiu's eyes were bloodshot, although he had been planning for a long time, but when it came time to implement this step, his inner battle was still very fierce.
"Oh, are you sure?, but we don't seem to have crossed paths much, and to put it mildly, we had a big confrontation in the first place, and you were almost killed by me, right?"
Ye Xing tapped the table lightly, and the tea in the cup shook slightly.
Time seemed to freeze, and the two sides looked at each other's eyes, but neither spoke.
"So what? Anyway, the matter has long passed, if Brother Ye is willing, I, Long Jiu, can apologize again. Long Jiu said, suddenly bowing down.
Ye Xing squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Long Jiu, as if he wanted to see something.
"If you apologize, you don't need it, but do you know that your current behavior, in the eyes of the main branch of the Long family, is tantamount to rebellion. Ye Xing retracted his gaze, carefully looked at the teacup in his hand, and spoke.
"Rebellion? This is not a rebellion, if I become the lord of Longshan City, the Long family is still the master of Longshan City, how can this be regarded as a rebellion? It's just a change of vein and continue to preside over things. Long Jiu made a loud noise.
"So, Brother Ye, are you willing to help me? If you succeed, Longshan City will pay ten years of taxes, if you fail, my vein will never have a chance to emerge anyway, and at that time, I can hand over all the treasures to you." Long Jiu spoke.
Ye Xing looked at him, and Long Jiu's gaze did not evade him at all.
"Then why don't you hand over all the treasures to me now?, if you fail, what should you do?" Ye Xing laughed.
Long Jiu suddenly froze, yes, he didn't have many treasures himself.
And the so-called half of the ten-year tax revenue of Longshan City is just an empty promise at present, and there is no substantive benefit.
Since there is no substantial benefit, why should Ye Xing help him.
Long Jiu sat down fiercely, and there was nothing to say for a while.
"So, you have to think about what you can do with me first, and then it's not too late. Ye Xing put down the teacup and walked to the window.
At this time, Ye Xing suddenly felt like a villain, fooling others to sell himself for himself.
Long Jiu fell into deep thought, raising his head to look at Ye Xing from time to time.
Although Ye Xing did not promise to help him, he knew that Ye Xing did not refuse.
There is no refusal, that is to talk about it.
After a long time, Long Jiu seemed to have figured out something, so he stood beside Ye Xing.
"If Brother Ye is willing to help me, I, Long Jiu, will be the only one who will look forward to you for the rest of my life. As he spoke, Long Jiu took out a dagger and slashed it into his palm.
Then he took out a paper contract, dripped blood on it, and then handed it to Ye Xing.
Ye Xing looked at this contract, but was stunned.
In his eyes, how could he not see that this was a heaven and earth contract refined by the array mage through the communication of heaven and earth.
This contract is protected and recognized by the spirits of heaven and earth, and once you integrate your mind and blood into the contract and verify it with heaven and earth, you will have a strong law of abiding by the contract.
Once violated, the aura of heaven and earth will be devoured, and the soul will perish forever.
"I see your determination, but do you think it's really worth it for me to help you with such an item?" Ye Xing didn't take the contract, but looked at Long Jiu and said.
"It's worth it. Long Jiu knelt down on one knee and spoke.
His face was as usual, nothing but the pale of the blood that had flowed too much.
Ye Xing glanced at Long Jiu deeply, and then took the paper contract, only to see a large paragraph of writing on it.
"I, Long Jiu, am willing to swear allegiance to ...... with the soul of my body."
Ye Xing looked at it, there was no problem on it, the only thing missing was Ye Xing's soul mark.
"I accepted the contract, but I didn't decide to sign it. Ye Xing held the contract in his left hand, only to see a flame suddenly emerge from it.
Completely devour the contract and burn it out.
"Get up, I want to help you, but you need to tell me how you want me to help you. Ye Xing picked up Long Jiu and spoke.
"You, why don't you sign a contract?" Long Jiu looked at Ye Xing with some doubts.
"Your contract level is too low, just sign this. ”
"After signing, I will help you, and I can even give you financial support. ”
Ye Xing waved his right hand, and saw a formation pattern suddenly appear, countless small characters arranged and combined in the air, and then turned into a contract.
Subsequently, Ye Xing threw the contract to Long Jiu, but he didn't pay attention to it anymore.
Long Jiu glanced at the contract, but it was a contract of equal cooperation.
And the contract that Long Jiu took out before was an oath contract.
He set his eyes on Ye Xing, and signed the contract without saying a word.
Then the contract suddenly vanished, turning into a bits of light and merging into the air.
"Let's talk about how we can help you. Ye Xing smiled and stood up.
It's not that Ye Xing doesn't need Long Jiu's oath contract.
It's because that contract is made by other formation mages, and if Long Jiu finds that formation mage in the future, there will be a great chance that it will be lifted.
And the contract made by Ye Xing himself does not have this problem, as long as Ye Xing does not terminate it himself, then no one can cancel it.
Of course, if there is a supreme power, it may be able to be forcibly lifted, but if it is at that time, Ye Xing himself may not know how far he has grown.
Naturally, there is no need to worry, and the reason why he agreed to help Long Jiu is also because this time Lin Zhisen made Ye Xing aware of some problems.
So he decided to form his own forces, or support some forces.
In this way, he will also have subordinates in the future.
Anyway, there are mountains of gold coins piled up in the storage ring, so it is better to take them out and use them.
