Chapter 2551: Dependence

"What?" Yuan Xi looked like he heard something wrong, "You want to attach yourself to this city?"

There is a dependency relationship between Hedao City. For example, among the top ten, there are a large number of Hedao City 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 Lord 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 be subordinate to others all the time, so this attachment was only in the snowy field. When everyone left the snowy field in the future, they would go their separate ways.

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 desolate level city.

"Discuss the matter!" 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, so it seems very empty.

Yuan Xi said solemnly: "Everyone, the person named Zhao just proposed to 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 dishonest look, and suddenly she was so serious. She really didn't feel comfortable with it.

Yuan Xi's beautiful eyes widened and she showed off her city lord's style: "Deputy City Lord Lian, what do you want me to ask you?"

Lian suppressed her smile and slowly raised her head: "When I first arrived, I stopped expressing my opinions. I will do whatever the Lord City Lord 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 Zhao must have seen the profit, 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 get 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 not relatives or friends, and are not driven by interests? There are also certain risks to bear.

"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 people in this city who can fight are you two. A small fight is fine, but if we really encounter a large-scale On the battlefield, we actually don’t have much room to play.”

"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 blameless." 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 has thought about it before, whether to find another Hedao City to cooperate, but the suitable Hedao City It’s not easy to find, and trust between each other 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 City Lord Zhao before? It doesn't matter, he didn't kill me, and didn't Brother Ye avenge me? I'm already clean." , He, a city lord, was cut down by you in front of so many people, I don’t know how embarrassed he is, but now he can still bow his head and rely on me, I won’t care too much about him. "

Lu Ye nodded: "If Xiaodie has no objection, then agree to them."

City Lord Zhao valued Lianzi's ability to break the city, but he didn't know that Lianzi couldn't be used casually. Lianzi had spit out three puffs of mist before, and then he was half dead. Lu Ye didn't have time to see how it was.

But judging from Lianzi's previous reaction, it might not be able to be used in a short time.

So City Lord Zhao's calculations must have been wrong.

From the perspective of Yuanxi City, their dependence is of great benefit to the city, so they will be pulled on board first. When they find out the truth, they will have no chance to regret it.

Let alone the issue of trust, everyone has cooperated after all, and there is a foundation for cooperation here. Although City Lord Zhao himself is a bit smooth, from the perspective of an outsider, all his choices are normal reactions.

"Then talk to them?" Yuanxi was very interested. This was the first time someone wanted to depend on her Hedao City, which was very fresh.

It's not like I haven't seen it before, but it's not her city after all.

"We have to talk, but we can't just say whatever they say..." Lu Ye gave some instructions, and Yuan Xi nodded.

Lian sat aside and watched, amazed. She rarely saw Yuan Xi so well-behaved. If someone had been nagging in front of her like this before, Yuan Xi would have thrown the back of her head to them.

This dear friend of mine has become a different person since she ran away from home, and seems to be much happier.

The Rong Daos who collected the spoils came back, bringing back a lot of materials and treasures, all of which were thrown into the treasure house of this city.

Lu Ye went to check and found that the spoils were very messy and nothing was useful to him.

City Lord Zhao came to Yuan Xi City again, and he was accompanied by the He Dao named Wu.

The two were entertained by Yuan Xi and were discussing the matter of attachment in the meeting hall, accompanied by Lian.

Lu Ye, the Grand Commander, was too lazy to get involved. Anyway, he had already given all the instructions. As long as Yuan Xi didn't agree to any other requests, the city would not suffer any loss.

He was standing by the Taoist pond with Fan Wu at the moment, looking at Lianzi lying on his back in the mist, drifting with the current, holding a piece of Taoist fish in his hands and stuffing it into his mouth.

"What's wrong with this guy?" Lu Ye frowned.

He had been worried that Lianzi would die suddenly, but when he got here, he saw that this guy was actually eating Taoist fish leisurely.

And he ate very quickly.

Compared with the half-dead state before, its condition was undoubtedly much better, and its wrinkled skin seemed to have recovered a little, but it still looked extremely weak.

Fan Wu scratched his head: "Reply to the Grand Commander, I don't know much either. After you sent it back, it sank to the bottom for a while, and then it was like this. It has eaten a lot of the Dao fish accumulated in the pool."

The Dao pool has been built for a while, so some Dao fish have been bred in the pool, but Yuan Xi didn't say to collect them, so these Dao fish have been left in the pool.

Now it has become Lianzi's food...

"Didn't you say that this guy can increase the output of Dao fish in the Dao pool?" Lu Ye was confused, "Why did he eat it first?"

Fan Wu hesitated and said: "Maybe it has something to do with its huge consumption before?"

The key is that I have never seen anyone use Lianzi to attack the city like that before. Since there is consumption, it certainly needs to be replenished. Lianzi originally eats Dao fish, but it only eats very little, but now it has become a big eater.

While talking, Lianzi suddenly turned over and sank into the mist again.

After a while, it floated up, holding a Dao fish in each of its two little hands, and there were more than a dozen pieces on its wrinkled belly.

Fan Wu might be right. Lianzi's appetite suddenly became so big, which should be related to the previous consumption. It was neither alive nor dead, without reason and thinking, but just following instinct, just like flowers and plants facing the sun.

There were Dao fish it needed in the Dao pond, so it instinctively began to eat.

This made Lu Ye look forward to it.

If Dao fish can replenish Lianzi's consumption, then this little thing will have great potential in the future. He said before that City Lord Zhao had made a wrong calculation. Now it seems that City Lord Zhao's dependence is definitely not bad for them.

Fortunately, he told Yuan Xi something, so no matter what, this city will not suffer.

"Brother Fan, please keep an eye on Lianzi's situation. If there is anything abnormal here, tell me or the city lord immediately."

Fan Wu nodded: "Don't worry, Grand Commander."
