"What?" Yuan Xi looked like he heard something wrong, "You want to attach yourself to this city?"
There is a dependence relationship between Hedao City. For example, among the top ten, a large number of Hedao City are attached to them.
Not only the top ten, but also many Zhou-level and Hong-level Hedao cities have Hedao cities attached to them. The higher the level, the more Hedao cities they are attached to.
This kind of dependence is basically a subordinate relationship. If the small Hedao City is bullied or attacked, it can ask for help from the main Hedao City.
Yuanxi never thought about having other Hedao cities to rely on him, because Yuanxi City itself was not perfect.
Not to mention in such an environment.
City Master Zhao said: "Fellow Taoist, what I mean is that during this chaos, this city wants to reach a closer cooperative relationship with Guicheng. In this snowy field, this city is Guicheng's affiliated Hedao City.
, Fellow Taoist order, we dare not disobey."
"That's it..." Yuan Xi understood what he meant. City Lord Zhao obviously didn't want to live under others all the time, so this attachment was only in the snowfield, and they would part ways when everyone left the snowfield in the future.
She thought for a moment and said, "I need to discuss this matter carefully with my deputy city lord and chief general. How about I give you an answer later?"
City Lord Zhao smiled and said: "Of course, let's deal with the loot over there first."
Of course Yuan Xi has no objections.
City Lord Zhao and others left quickly. After a while, both sides sent some men to the enemy's desert-level city.
"Discuss matters!" Yuan Xi greeted.
After a while, everyone was sitting in the meeting hall. Except for a few Fusion Dao slaves who were sent to collect the loot, all the remaining monks in Yuanxi City gathered here.
Under Yuan Xi, on the left are the two deputy city lords Lian and Youdie, on the right is Lu Ye, the city protector, and below Lu Ye is the pale Huan Qing.
The rest of the Fusion Paths are on the left and right.
The main hall is huge and there are few people there, so it seems very empty.
Yuan Xi solemnly said: "Everyone, the person named Zhao just proposed that we should rely on this city in the snowy field. What do you think?"
Lian lowered her head, her shoulders shaking slightly.
She was used to seeing her friend Mi's non-serious look, and she was really uncomfortable with being so serious all of a sudden.
Yuan Xi's beautiful eyes widened and she showed off her city lord's style: "Deputy City Lord Lian, what do you want to ask me?"
Lian suppressed her smile and slowly raised her head: "When I first arrived, I stopped expressing my opinions. I will do whatever the Lord of the City says."
He lowered his head again, his shoulders shaking even more.
Yuan Xi glared at her angrily: "You'd better be so obedient from now on."
Turning to look at Lu Ye: "What do you mean by Da Dutong?"
Lu Ye said: "Everyone in the world is bustling for profit, and everyone is bustling for profit. The Lord of Zhao City must have seen the benefits, so he thought of attaching himself to this city."
Judging from City Lord Zhao's initial performance after he agreed to the transfer, he agreed because he simply did not want to cause trouble, so even after he was transferred, he did not work hard until Lu Ye made the decision and promised them 30% of the income.
Only then did they become serious.
This is normal, and it is easy to live in. If Yuanxi City encounters such a thing, I am afraid that it will make the same choice as City Lord Zhao.
Who is willing to work in vain if they are neither relatives nor friends, and are not driven by interests? They also have to bear certain risks.
"Then what City Lord Zhao values should not be about our own background. The City Lord and Lord Lian are certainly powerful, but after all, the only Hedao who can fight in this city is you two. A small fight is fine, but really encounter a large-scale attack.
On the battlefield, we actually don’t have much room to perform.”
"Then what does he value?" Yuan Xi was puzzled. It wasn't that she couldn't figure it out, but she was just too lazy to use her brain. With someone she could trust by her side, she didn't need to think too much.
"Lian Zai!" Lu Ye said in a deep voice: "The reason why we can win this battle is Lian Zai's greatest contribution. If it weren't for Lian Zai's poison, the enemy's protective formation would not have weakened rapidly, and the enemy would not have come out of the city to fight. They
If we don’t leave the city, we won’t have a chance.”
Lian nodded and said: "That's true, so City Lord Zhao feels that if he follows us, there will be a lot of opportunities to break the city in the future. Even if they only share 30% of the profit each time, it will be better than them fighting alone."
"This person is also a very realistic person. He will flock to him when there is a profit, but human nature is such that it is beyond reproach." Lu Ye nodded.
"Then should we agree to them?" Yuan Xi asked.
"Of course!" Lu Ye nodded, "Our biggest problem is our lack of manpower. They can make up for our shortcomings, so cooperating with them is beneficial and harmless."
It is impossible for Yuanxi City itself to recruit more manpower in a short period of time. The attachment of City Lord Zhao is just right. In fact, Lu Ye had thought about it before, whether to find another Hedao City to cooperate, but the suitable Hedao City
It's not easy to find, and mutual trust is also an issue.
Since City Lord Zhao took the initiative to propose attachment, he could solve Yuanxi City's biggest problem at the moment.
"Then agree to them?" Yuan Xi asked, she actually had this idea herself.
Lu Ye turned to look at Youdie.
Youdie was puzzled: "Why are you looking at me?"
She sat here honestly, but didn't say a word.
But after saying that, he reacted, pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Brother Ye thinks that I was injured by the City Lord Zhao before? It doesn't matter, he didn't kill me, and didn't Brother Ye avenge me? He has already cleared up both sides.
, he, a city lord, was beheaded by you in front of so many people, I don’t know how much he lost face, but now he can still lower his head and rely on me, I won’t argue too much with him."
Lu Ye nodded: "If Xiaodie has no objection, then I will agree to them."
City Lord Zhao valued Lian Zai's city-breaking power, but he didn't know that Lian Zai couldn't use it casually. Lian Zai spit out three mouthfuls of dense mist before and was half dead after that. Lu Ye hadn't had time to see it.
See how it is doing.
But judging from Lian Zai's previous reaction, it may be impossible to use it in a short period of time.
Therefore, City Lord Zhao's calculation must have been wrong.
From the perspective of Yuanxi City, their attachment is of great benefit to the city, so we should first pull them on the boat. When they find out the truth later, they will have no chance to regret it.
Putting aside the issue of trust, after all, everyone has already cooperated, and there is a basis for joining forces. Moreover, although City Lord Zhao himself is a bit more diplomatic, from an outsider's perspective, all of his choices are normal reactions.
"Then talk to them?" Yuan Xi was very interested. This was the first time someone wanted to rely on her Hedao City, which felt very fresh.
It's not that I haven't seen it before, but it's not her city after all.
"We definitely have to talk, but we can't just take whatever they say..." Lu Ye warned, and Yuan Xi kept nodding.
Lian sat aside and watched, amazed. She rarely saw Yuan Xi being so well-behaved. If someone had been nagging like this in front of her before, Yuan Xi would have thrown the back of his head to others.
My sweet friend seemed to be a different person after he ran away from home. He seemed much happier.
The Rongdao who collected the trophies came back and brought back a large amount of materials and treasures, which were all thrown into the city's treasure house.
Lu Ye went to investigate and found that the trophies were all messy and nothing useful to him.
City Lord Zhao came to Yuanxi City again, and the man named Wu Hedao came with him.
The two of them were entertained by Yuan Xi and were discussing matters of dependence in the meeting hall, with Lian accompanying them.
Lu Ye, the general, was too lazy to interfere. Anyway, he had already given all the instructions that needed to be given. As long as Yuan Xi did not agree to any other requests, the city would not suffer any loss.
At this moment, he and Fan Me were standing by the Tao Pond, looking at the lotus seeds lying on their backs in the mist, drifting with the current, holding a piece of Tao fish in their hands and stuffing it into their mouths.
"What's going on with this guy?" Lu Ye frowned.
Fortunately, he had been worried that Lian Zai would die suddenly like that, but when he came here, he saw that this guy was eating Tao fish leisurely.
And he eats very quickly.
Compared to the half-dead state before, its condition is undoubtedly much better, and its wrinkled skin seems to have recovered somewhat, but it still looks extremely weak.
Fan Me scratched his head: "Back in Dadutong, I don't know very well. After you sent it back, it sank to the bottom for a while, and then that's it. It has already eaten a lot of the Tao fish accumulated in the pond."
It has been a while since the Dao Pond was built, so some Dao fish have been bred in the pond, but Yuan Xi did not say anything about collecting them, so these Dao fish have remained in the Dao Pond.
Now it has become Lianzi’s food ration...
"Didn't you say that this guy can increase the production of Daochi Dao fish?" Lu Ye was confused, "Why did you eat it first?"
Fan Mo hesitated and said: "Maybe it has something to do with its huge consumption before?"
The key is that I have never seen anyone using Lianzi to attack the city like that. Since it is consumed, of course it needs to be replenished. Lianzi is a fish eater, but it only eats very little. But now that it is doing this, it is shockingly
He has become a big eater.
While speaking, Lianzi suddenly turned over and sank into the mist again.
After a while, it floated up, each holding a fish in its two little hands, and there were more than a dozen pieces on its wrinkled belly.
Fan Mo may be right. Lian Zai's appetite suddenly became so big, which should be related to previous consumption. It is neither alive nor dead, has no reason and thinking, and is just following instinct, just like flowers and plants facing the sun.
There is the Tao fish it needs in the Tao pond, and it instinctively starts eating.
This made Lu Ye look forward to it.
If Daoyu can replenish Lianzi's consumption, then this gadget will have great potential in the future. He said before that City Master Zhao made a wrong calculation, but now it seems that City Master Zhao's dependence is definitely not harmful to them.
Fortunately, he told Yuan Xi something, so no matter what, this city will not suffer a loss.
"Brother Lao Fan, please always pay attention to Lian Zai's situation. If there is anything unusual here, please tell me or the city lord immediately."
