Chapter 2440: Reciprocity

Based on what Youdie said before, Lu Ye estimated that Yuanxi would not refuse a worm mother's active attachment, especially since this worm mother also had the cultivation of Hedao.

But what surprised Lu Ye was that Yuanxi actually showed an expectant look, with shining eyes, saying: "Great, General, you actually have such connections. This great achievement will be remembered by the city lord. I was originally worried about how to get a trustworthy Hedao here, and now the problem is solved."

From what Yuanxi said, she had originally wanted to recruit a Hedao, which made Lu Ye feel relieved.

What he feared most was that Youdie would come here without any trouble, but Yuanxi would not accept her. Then he would be uncomfortable in the middle. Now it seems that this kind of thing will not happen.

"When will this worm mother come?" Yuanxi asked again, seeming a little impatient.

"Not sure." Lu Ye shook his head.

Youdie left in a hurry after taking back the star map, but she didn't say how long it would take to get here, and Lu Ye forgot to ask.

"She has a star map. With the help of the worm path, it won't take too long anyway. Let's wait for her here during this time." Yuan Xi made a decision, and Lu Ye certainly had no objection.

It's true that things are unpredictable. In the colorful world, he was entangled with Youdie, and at the last thought of kindness, he let her go. He didn't expect to meet like this today, and even work together in the future.

Yuan Xi suddenly looked at Cangcan again and said teasingly: "General, this city lord has no one to serve him, but you have one. Isn't this a bit unreasonable?"

Lu Ye blinked and immediately clasped his fists: "It's my humble position that has usurped the power. If you are willing, let Cangcan follow you in the future."

Yuan Xi pretended: "This is not right, after all, it was given to you by Qin Laogou. It's true that I am the city lord and everything in this city is mine, but I can't steal things from my subordinates."

Lu Ye said solemnly: "Your Excellency is concerned about the future of Hedao City and you are toiling and worrying. Someone should be around to take care of you. Gu Fushi, this is not snatching, it is the subordinate's willingness to honor the adults. "

Yuan Xi narrowed his eyes and was in a good mood. He patted Lu Ye's shoulder: "Since you said so, then this city lord can only thank you for your kindness."

"It is the humble official who should thank the adults!" Lu Ye's words were not polite. Yuan Xi should have seen something. He was worried about how to place Cui Can, so Yuan Xi simply asked for Cui Can, which was equivalent to helping Lu Ye solve a problem. As for taking care of her... She is a powerful person in Hedao, so why does she need Cui Can to take care of her.

Both Lu Ye and Yuan Xi knew it well, but no one mentioned it explicitly.

Lu Ye turned his head and looked at Cui Can: "You will follow the city lord in the future."

"Yes." Cui Can responded obediently, and her tone could not be said to be relaxed or something. As for being sent here and there, she did not feel sad. Those who were cultivated in the battlefield were never free.

"Come, I'll take you to see a few people." Yuan Xi waved at Lu Ye again.

Waiting here, one is to confirm the matter of the nameless guest with Lu Ye, and the other is because of this matter.

Lu Ye realized later that there were a few more auras in the city, obviously the people Yuan Xi wanted him to see.

Walking out of the central hall, he saw a few figures standing quietly outside waiting.

Five cultivators, of different races, both men and women, but Lu Ye could clearly feel a sad atmosphere from them, each of them was like a defeated rooster, dejected.

"My lord, this is..." Lu Ye was puzzled where Yuan Xi found these guys who were so dejected. Since they could appear in Yuan Xi City like this, they must be Rong Dao, but if they were Rong Dao, why were they like this?

"These are the slaves I bought from the Hehe Realm!"

Lu Ye immediately understood. No wonder these guys were so half-dead. It turned out that they were already slaves.

He had heard about the slaves being sold in Hehe Realm. Just now, when Yuan Xi first saw Cui Can, he thought that Lu Ye had bought them. He even asked him if he had been cheated by others, saying that he should have taken him with him.

The origins of these slaves are varied, but they are basically captured by strong men, such as Rong Dao, who ventured into the inner world alone. If he was discovered by He Dao, he might be killed.

Another example is the battle in He Dao City, where the defeated party is very likely to be captured alive.

From this point of view, Yuan Xi went to Hehe Realm to buy slaves this time.

He won the battle in the battlefield, and Yuan Xi, who bet on him, took the opportunity to make a small profit, so he had enough Daoyu to buy these slaves.

"General, you give me a maid, and I give you a few subordinates. Let's exchange gifts, and they will be under your command in the future." Yuan Xi said in a tone that I never take advantage of others and I am fair and just.

Lu Ye didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What do I want them to do?"

These Rong Dao, no matter how strong their cultivation was, now seemed to have lost their will, so they were really useless. In this state, if they fought with others, even those who were weaker than them would probably have a chance to kill them. If they really had a conflict with an enemy, Lu Ye would have to distract himself to take care of them.

Yuan Xi said: "They can help you defend Hedao City! Our Yuanxi City is different today. In the past, we had nothing and could do whatever we wanted, but now it is not possible. When this city lord is fighting outside, someone must protect Yuanxi City. I will improve the city's defense array as soon as possible, but by then, you alone will not be able to maintain the operation of the array, so more manpower will be needed. "

Lu Ye understood her intention.

Yuan Xi's concerns were right.

When attacking Liuguang City before, Yuan Xi didn't care about his Hedao City at all, because it was broken, and the loss was not big anyway.

But now it is different. After plundering the Hedao beads of Liuguang City, Yuanxi City has become a ground-level city. If the city is breached and the Hedao beads are broken, the loss will be great.

So now Yuan Xi has to consider more, and it is necessary to buy a few Rongdao to help Lu Ye defend Hedao City.

No wonder Yuan Xi was so happy when she heard that Youdie was going to rely on Hedao City, because if there was a Hedao in charge, Yuanxi City would be more stable, and the improvement in defense strength would be much greater than the slaves she bought.

"Then there is no need to buy them. When our Hedao City's grade is improved in the future, are you still afraid that there will be no Rongdao to come and join us?" Lu Ye said.

Yuan Xi shook her head: "In the future, it's okay to buy a few anyway. You don't have to worry too much about these few. I will teach them well. If there is a need, you can lead them into the battle."

Lu Ye couldn't figure out who was the city lord of Yuanxi City for a while. Logically speaking, these few were his subordinates, and these trivial matters should be done by him, but now Yuan Xi took care of everything.

"Then I'll trouble the city lord to take care of it."

"By the way." Yuan Xi suddenly became mysterious again and lowered her voice: "You have joined the battle battlefield. Has Qin Laogou arranged your next battle?"

"Not yet." Lu Ye shook his head.

After the previous battle, the nameless guest should have become a signboard of the battle field. Since it is a signboard, it cannot be used easily again. The next battle will definitely be operated well.

Lu Ye also took this opportunity to make some arrangements.

"Tell me when you have news later." Yuan Xi raised her eyebrows, showing a posture of you know.

Of course, Lu Ye knew what she meant, and he was a little worried: "Isn't there a rule in the battle field that does not allow the monks around the participants to bet?"

Yuan Xi sneered: "Rules? Let Qin Laogou come to me in person to see who is bigger, my fist or his rules!"

This is a bit arrogant. Judging from Yuan Xi's previous attitude towards Qin Feng, Qin Feng is definitely not inferior to her in strength, and may even exceed her in status, but the two should barely have the qualifications to be on equal footing.

Lu Ye saw through it but didn't say it. His own city lord still has to save face.

He became more and more curious about what kind of background Yuan Xi had.

Because from what he has come into contact with so far, Qin Feng's status is very high, and he can even be said to be among the best in the entire world.

What about Yuan Xi?

Whose powerful man's wife is she? When he first met Yuan Xi, a powerful man of Hedao came to chase her, but she killed him mercilessly.

If she is really the wife of a powerful man, why has this powerful man not made any move until now?

Lu Ye didn't want to care about Yuan Xi's private affairs, but he is a member of Yuan Xi City after all, so Yuan Xi's private affairs still have some influence on him.

"Besides, I want to bet on Wumingke. Who knows who Wumingke is?" Yuan Xi winked at Lu Ye playfully.

Lu Ye immediately understood.

Yes, if he participated in the fight as Lu Ye, according to the rules, Yuan Xi could not bet on him, but if it was Wumingke, that would be different, so Yuan Xi's move was not considered a violation of the rules at all, and Qin Feng could not hold him accountable even if he wanted to.

"Okay, Grand Commander, you've worked hard. Go back and rest first. Let's stay here for a while and wait for your insect mother friend to come over."

Lu Ye was injured in the battle with Queyue. Although it was not serious, he looked quite embarrassed on the surface. After the battle, he was taken to see Qin Feng, and he had no time to take care of himself until now.

After bidding farewell to Yuan Xi, Lu Ye returned to the Grand Commander's Mansion alone and took care of himself a little.

Only then did he have time to check on Liao's situation.

In fact, after Liao broke the Heaven-Measure Ruler, it suddenly stopped moving. At that time, Lu Ye guessed that Liao might have fallen into a deep sleep.

This is a good thing, because every time Liao is promoted and breaks through, it will fall into a deep sleep.

When he was with Qin Feng, he also pulled Liao out to check and said that he was already promoted.

At this moment, Lu Ye was extremely pleased when he watched it, because Liao had indeed entered a state of advancement. The entire blade seemed to have no changes from the outside, but some tiny and wonderful changes were taking place inside.
