Chapter 40 Blood Curse
Xu Yi said, "How can there be any gain? The people who can sit in the inner room are actually wealthy people. What does my little money mean to others? By the way, have you ever sold my green blade?"
"Sold, sold, I didn't expect that little green sword, forged from Geng Iron, sold for one hundred and fifty gold. The old guy who collected the things originally only offered one hundred gold. He wanted to deceive me, so I took it
After wandering around in the hall, the old guy couldn't bear it anymore. He called me back and talked about it for a while before he reluctantly agreed to pay one hundred and fifty gold. This price was already the highest price I had ever asked for in private.
.”
Yuan Qing showed off her skills with joy, and as she spoke, she took out six gold tickets, one hundred gold, five ten gold, and a transaction note, and handed them to Xu Yi.
"Well done, hard work!"
Xu Yi took the golden ticket without looking at it, took out a ten-gold golden ticket and slapped it into his hand.
Yuan Qinghua was overjoyed, "The proprietor is so generous. In all these years of doing this business, I have never met such a wealthy person as the proprietor."
Greedy but not treacherous, Xu Yi's impression of him improved and he said with a smile, "You deserve this. No need to say thank you. Okay, you go ahead and do your work. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
"No, doesn't the proprietor also want a heavy weapon?" Yuan Qinghua said anxiously.
"I just saw too many treasures at the auction. It's hard for me to see mundane things, so I don't want to look at them!"
If you don't look at it, it's obvious that he is short of money. After buying the dragon crocodile skin, he only has two hundred gold left, which he plans to use to renovate the dragon crocodile skin.
The green blade that was given to Yuan Qinghua for sale was originally expected to be sold at a high price, but unexpectedly, it ended up with more than a hundred gold.
The two items combined were only three hundred and fifty gold. Xu Yi, who had seen real treasures, knew that the three hundred plus gold combined might not be able to buy anything he wanted.
After saying that, Xu Yi walked away, but Yuan Qinghua followed closely.
"What do you mean? After the deal is completed, are you still relying on me?" Xu Yi raised his eyebrows.
Yuan Qinghua waved her hands repeatedly, "Don't misunderstand me, proprietor. How dare I have such thoughts? I want to ask the proprietor if he is willing to hire me for a long time. It doesn't cost much. He will pay me twenty yuan a month. No, fifteen
Just one gold coin."
The business that Yuan Qinghua manages and guides is really a lowly job, and the income he gets every day is really huge. Sometimes, he doesn't get a single business for several days in a row. Meeting a generous tycoon like Xu Yi today is just a drop in the sky.
cake.
He only earns sixty or seventy gold a year. Apart from the high living expenses in Dongcheng, he also has to maintain his cultivation and become one of the lowest-level people in Dongcheng.
"I can't afford to support you!"
It's not that he can't afford it, but it's pointless. He, Xu, is not a businessman who travels around the house all day long. Why not hire Yuan Qinghua to serve tea and water?
Yuan Qinghua said, "Don't lie to me, proprietor. I've already seen that the proprietor is extraordinary. He will definitely dominate Guang'an in the future. What if he doesn't have a follower to help him? Take the proprietor's trip to Dongcheng this time as an example. If the proprietor has someone under his command,
With such a follower, why bother the proprietor to go there in person? At this point, the proprietor must be thinking, I don’t feel comfortable letting you go out with so much money. The proprietor doesn’t know anything, since I am willing to devote myself to the proprietor.
Master, I will definitely make the proprietor feel at ease. I can sign a blood curse with the proprietor. In the future, whenever I need to buy medicine, run errands, or even inquire about the enemy and collect information, I can handle it for you. With the blood curse as a binding force, Dong
Lord, you don’t have to worry about having any wrong thoughts.”
"Blood curse? What is that?"
The words "inquiring about the enemy's situation" and "collecting information" came to his ears, and Xu Yi suddenly felt the need to ask this guy for help.
Yuan Qinghua said, "The blood curse is the blood talisman. It is guided by the oaths of both parties and the blood is shed as a response. After the blood curse is activated, if anyone betrays the oath, he will be heartbroken and die by the blood curse." As he said, he took the blood curse from his pocket.
He took out two pieces of paper, one was as red as blood, and the other Xu Yi recognized was the transaction voucher of Linglong Pavilion.
Xu Yi had already guessed that the bright red one must be the blood talisman, and the other blood talisman transaction certificate was simply Yuan Qinghua's fear that someone in Xu could not believe the authenticity of the blood curse, so she took it out as circumstantial evidence.
Xu Yi's guess was good. As early as when Yuan Qinghua sold the green blade, she had planned to let Xu Yi go it alone. This blood talisman was purchased at that time.
Seeing Yuan Qinghua's sincerity, Xu Yi found it harder and harder to refuse. He considered the pros and cons in his mind, but his feet kept moving. Unknowingly, he stepped onto the arch bridge from where he came from. Looking to the west, there were still two arenas in the distance.
People were dancing on the stage, swords and swords were flying. However, the white flag on the flag beside the stage was replaced by a black flag, and there were many more people watching in the audience.
Suddenly, Xu Yi had an idea and said, "Since that's what I said, I'll hire you!"
Lack of money, Xu Yi was really short of money. At the moment, he only had three hundred and fifty gold left. The dragon and crocodile skins were forged into leather armor, which would definitely cost a lot of money.
In addition, he also entrusted Linglong Pavilion to collect medicinal materials on his behalf, which still required a hundred and twenty gold.
Adding the two together, I'm afraid that the three hundred and fifty gold he promised someone would have to be wiped out at once.
Not to mention, after seeing the magic of Tie Jing, he still wanted to train Tie Jing, which would probably be a huge expense.
As a man in two lifetimes, Xu Yi has a mature mind and fully understands the principle that a man will not get rich without a windfall, and a horse will not grow fat without a night of grass. Youdao is a golden belt that kills people and sets fire. He promised someone where the two thousand gold windfall came from. Isn't that right?
They came to kill and set fire to.
At present, in Guang'an City, murder and arson are not allowed, but there are still ways to make some quick money.
Xu Yi's idea was precisely based on the bet in the arena in front of him.
Now, he has to participate in one or even countless arena battles. If he loses, he will die. It is useless to keep money. If he wins, he will make money. Wouldn't it be foolish not to place a bet?
Since Xu Yi has his mind set on betting, he will naturally not forget about Yuan Qinghua.
He is so proficient at doing this kind of thing, how can he compare to an old man like Yuan Qinghua?
Turning Yuan Qinghua into a puppet was the fundamental reason why Xu Yi finally relented.
After the two reached an agreement, Yuan Qinghua led Xu Yi to his humble residence in Dongcheng, opened the blood-colored talisman seal, bit his index finger, put a drop of blood on it, and recited an oath.
The content of the oath is nothing more than how to serve the employer loyally during the period of employment. Even after the employment is over, all secrets related to the employer will be strictly guarded.
After reciting, at Yuan Qinghua's prompting, Xu Yi also recited a paragraph, agreeing to pay money on time and in equal amounts, without breach of contract, etc.
After making the oath, with a thought, Xu Yi's finger automatically made a hole, and a drop of blood as thick as solid floated out and landed accurately on the blood talisman.
The two drops of blood met, and in an instant, the blood talisman burned violently, emitting a bloody light that penetrated both of their hearts.
