Chapter 27: Master Ji An is a Genius
"Agent?" Master Ji An chewed these three words over and over again, but did not taste any ambiguity in them, so he said to Brandy with confidence, "So, you can make decisions on behalf of Ms. Jiang Yi?"
Jiang Yi rolled her eyes behind him and said, "I'm not good at communication, so I leave all the communication parts to him."
"Please allow me to reintroduce myself, Master Ji An," Brandy said with a smile, "I am a third-class official in Jizhou City, you can call me Brandy."
"Third class, officer."
Master Ji An smiled contemptuously, and then quickly put on a stinky face.
Since this guy is an official, doesn't it mean that Jiang Yi has been bribed and became another official's lackey?
Even a third-level official dared to jump out and fight for me. I really don't know how high the sky is.
Wait, then why does he still use his identity as an "agent"? Why can't he just take the person away?
He just talked about recruiting, does that mean he's about to let people out now that he can't grasp it?
That's right, how dare a third-class official go against me, the future city lord!
Brandy watched Master Ji An's expression change again and again. He was not interested in guessing the psychological changes of such an idiot. He was very sure that as long as he proposed it, Master Ji An would not refuse.
"Young Master, to be honest, Jiang Yi has been cooperating with me before," Brandy said with an embarrassed look, "Now that the city lord is about to abdicate, and the strength of all parties is at risk, I..."
"Are you worried that you will have no one to protect you?" Master Ji An sneered, thinking that he is indeed a villain, "You...you don't have a backer yet."
This question was very sensitive, and Brandy didn't expect this guy to ask it in public, but now that the matter was over, he had to answer, "No."
"Then this isn't easy?" Master Ji An said, "I don't accept your people for nothing. From now on, you will work with me."
Brandy has never seen anyone talk about forming cliques when fighting for power as if they were gifts to others.
What made him laugh even more was that he had to act grateful, "Then, it's settled."
"Look at your virtue in fearing that I will regret it." He smiled and patted Brandy on the shoulder.
After winning over the judge and recruiting a subordinate, I am getting closer and closer to the position of city lord!
Young Master Ji An was so proud at the moment that he completely forgot about his virtues when he was chased to pieces by assassins just now.
He looked at the devastated hall, then glanced at the three highly respected officials with fear, losing interest in staying any longer.
"Let's go, Ms. Jiang Yi, come with me and we'll discuss your remuneration in detail."
Seeing Brandy and others leaving with Master Ji An, Zhou Xinyi also immediately left the banquet to avoid being caught by the three sharp-eyed officials.
The assassin's heroic sacrifice also proved that the plan to assassinate Master Ji An cannot be reckless. The best way is to gain his trust and then stab him to death.
Judging from Master Ji An's IQ, this goal is not too difficult to achieve.
The biggest problem in this mission is whether there are other successors around Master Ji An.
If so, the successor would be able to easily identify the successors of Brandy and Jiang Yi.
Therefore it is necessary to...create contradictions.
After leaving the venue, Zhou Xinyi suddenly saw the familiar Mr. Squidward at the door.
He still had the same bitter face that never changed, but his serious eyes showed a little guilt at the moment.
This caused him to become confused when his eyes collided with the judge Zhou Xinyi, and he forgot to leave immediately.
"Sir, what are you doing here?" Zhou Xinyi asked in surprise.
Although this gentleman's attitude towards the judge was not friendly, he still adhered to the habits of this era and did not lie to the judge, "I, I want to see what this banquet is like."
"Then you can just go in and take a look?"
Today's banquet is quite famous. As long as you pay a deposit to the Warrior Alliance, you can get an invitation letter to the banquet.
Mr. Squidward said, "...I hate spending money."
"..." He almost forgot that this is a super stingy man.
"If you don't mind, I can take you in to have a look, but now that the banquet is over and the venue is a bit chaotic, you may not be satisfied."
Mr. Squidward shook his head. He disdained to accept relief or charity from others, "No, I just want to see what the next city lord of Jizhou City will be like."
Will he be as knowledgeable and broad-minded as this city lord?
"If you want to see Master Ji An," Zhou Xinyi shook his head, "I think he still needs some tempering."
He didn't say this too bluntly. After all, he was going to visit tomorrow, and he didn't want rumors to spread that "the judge was disappointed with Master Ji An" today.
Mr. Squidward nodded, "Huh... okay." After that, he turned to leave.
"Wait a minute," Zhou Xinyi stopped him this time, "can I ask your name?"
"Me?" Mr. Squidward pointed at himself in surprise, wondering why Yu Zhouxinyi was interested in making friends with him, "I'm just a painter."
After he finished speaking, he said with some pride, "But don't think that I will just be a bad painter all my life. Just wait, I will be praised by everyone one day!"
"Okay, I believe that one day," Zhou Xinyi said with a smile, "but you have to tell me your name so that I can have a chance to appreciate your works."
"But my works are still very controversial." Mr. Squidward felt that Zhou Xinyi was one of the few big names he knew, and he didn't want to embarrass himself in front of Zhou Xinyi. "When I really succeed one day, I will
I’ll tell you my name again.”
Although he always has a bitter and resentful face, when he talks about his ideals, his small eyes are filled with hope.
…
…
Jiang Yi was sitting on the sofa, with brandy next to her and Master Ji An looking at her with a smile on the opposite side.
"Since you two have decided to follow me, when I get to that position, there will definitely be benefits for both of you. But apart from that, we also have to have a good discussion about the obvious benefits."
She resisted the urge to strike with the back of her sword, "Of course."
"Miss Jiang Yi is the heir," Brandy said. "In addition to Kunlang, the benefits given to her must include good things that are rare for heirs."
After hearing this, Master Ji An asked, "Are you the same?"
Brandy smiled and said, "I can also help you in other ways. The young master will not be stingy, right?"
In other respects, what can you, a third-class official, do to help me? You just want to use Jiang Yi's name in exchange for benefits.
Ji An's disdain was palpable. Things the successor liked were not cheap, and were much more expensive than training ordinary strong men.
But in order to show his rich and powerful charm in front of Jiang Yi, Master Ji An still endured the pain and said, "I can provide you with three bottles of medicines from the Pharmacists Association every week."
Those potions were originally low-quality goods that were not meant to be drunk. After the successors appeared, those potions that were originally ineffective were suddenly discovered to have a significant improvement effect on the successors. Not only could they speed up their exercise, but they could also cleanse dark wounds and blood. impurities in it.
"And...there are also gems and weapons. You guys like these, right? As long as we come to an agreement, Ms. Jiang Yi, you can pick two of them at will!"
Heirs have their own inherited weapons, but weapons like Jiang Yi's that can take on all aspects with one sword are often in the minority. Most heirs will choose to choose a satisfactory secondary weapon in reality or in the light screen.
Another example is Zhou Xinyi's hammer, or the weapons of pharmacists, trainers and other professions. Many of their weapons are not lethal. Rather than being inherited weapons, it is more appropriate to call them props that match the inherited ability. For that kind of inheritance, For players, secondary weapons are even more important.
Even if Jiang Yi doesn't need it, he can still sell it for money. No one will refuse the free benefit, "Okay."
"As for Kunlang, there is no need to say more. If you become my person, you will benefit in all aspects." Master Ji An rubbed his hands, "Ms. Jiang Yi, are you satisfied?"
"I'm satisfied, but..." Jiang Yiyouyou said, "I have a request."
"I ask you to deduct the potion of brandy and increase my weekly potion to five bottles."
What did Master Ji An feel from this, "Why?"
Brandy also turned her head and asked her in surprise, "Jiang Yi, what do you mean?"
"Good birds choose trees to roost, and good ministers choose kings to serve. Don't you understand this truth, Mr. Brandy," Jiang Yi said, "When you asked me to work for you for so long because of a small favor, you always asked me to work for you for so long. It’s time to taste the bitter fruit that belongs to you.”
Brandy gritted her teeth and said, "I have never treated you badly, so why would you betray me at this time!"
"The reason why I saved Master Ji An was to get rid of you," Jiang Yi sneered, "Who knew you would be so shameless as to follow me?"
"We are both heirs, do you really think you can control me?"
Seeing this scene, Master Ji An couldn't help laughing, "Hahahaha! It's just as Ms. Jiang Yi wanted. Brandy, don't blame me. Who told you two that I should value Jiang Yi more?" "
Brandy said anxiously, "Master Ji An!"
Jiang Yi intercepted his words and said, "Please advance my medicine for one month in advance so that he can see clearly the gap between him and me."
Ji An readily agreed.
After the meal, the heir hired by Ji An leaned into his ear and said, "Master Ji An, the man named Brandy is also the heir."
But Master Ji An thought highly of himself and said, "I already know."
He continued, "I don't know how strong that guy Brandy is, but he is very ambitious."
Brandy and Jiang Yi are relatively well-known among the heirs. "Brandy is as cunning as a fox, and his strength should not be underestimated."
"How does that compare to you?"
"This..." The successor was worried that he would lose this good job, so he deliberately said it too high. "Although we cannot guarantee a guaranteed victory, a 50-50 split is still possible."
Master Ji An nodded and said meaningfully, "It seems that I have three successors..."
The heir's pupils shrank, he immediately thought of something, and silently retreated.
Only Master Ji An is left alone to make plans.
Jiang Yi and Brandy were at odds, so there was bound to be conflict between them, and his loyal successor could check and balance them.
Under the three-legged confrontation, the three people restrain each other. In order to break the situation, they will only obey orders more.
