"Master Ye Chen, we are willing to serve you for three years. I hope you can keep your promise and give us our freedom!"
Glancing at Ye Chen, who had a calm face, Zhao Hai hesitated a little and said, "He is not stupid. Ye Chen said he would give them three choices, but in fact there was only one choice, and that was to work for him for three years. He dared to guarantee that even if they
If he could spend 100 billion gold coins, Ye Chen would also find other excuses to keep them here.
"Very good. Those who know the current affairs are heroes. You will be proud of this decision in the future!"
After hearing Zhao Hai's words and seeing the other magicians remain silent, it was considered as acquiescence. A faint smile appeared on the corner of Ye Chen's mouth. He finally formed a magician army, although the number of the magician army was small.
At one point, there was no loyalty to him at all, but no matter what, he added a magical force to the Ye Family Army and enhanced the Ye Family Army's overall combat effectiveness.
After saying that, Ye Chen waved the sharp dagger in his hand to cut off the rope on Zhao Hai's body, and took out the magic contract that had been prepared from the space ring, allowing him to leave his own magic mark on the magic contract.
After Zhao Hai left his magic mark on the magic contract, Ye Chen walked up to the other magicians one after another and used a sharp dagger to cut off the ropes on his body, allowing them to leave his own magic mark on the magic contract.
.
Soon, one hundred magicians left their magic marks on the magic contract, and Ye Chen also left his own magic marks on the magic contract. In this regard, the two parties reached an agreement, and one hundred six-level magicians
The magician served Ye Chen unconditionally for three years and became the first magician army formed by Ye Chen.
After subduing a hundred captive magicians, Ye Chen saw that the sky was getting dark, so he ordered his servants to prepare ten tents for them, so that ten people could live in each tent temporarily.
After a night's rest, with Su Ya waiting on him, Ye Chen simply finished his breakfast, boarded his luxurious carriage, and headed towards Linhai County under the escort of a large number of Ye family troops.
"Master, the Qinglong Grand Canyon is ahead. As long as we pass the Qinglong Grand Canyon, enter Qinglong County, and cross the Tianlang Road, we can reach Linhai County."
Ada, who was riding on a horse and patrolling near the carriage where Ye Chen was riding, glanced at the endless green mountains not far away and said to Ye Chen in the carriage.
"Oh, then speed up, we will rest in Qinglong County tonight!"
After hearing Ah Da's words, Ye Chen lifted the curtain of the carriage, stretched out his head, glanced at the rolling peaks not far away, and said lightly.
After receiving Ye Chen's instructions, Ada immediately conveyed Ye Chen's instructions. Immediately, the huge Ye family motorcade sped up, and in the evening, they arrived at the checkpoint of Qinglong Grand Canyon.
A Qinglong Mountain that runs southeast and stretches for thousands of miles separates Qinglong County from Wu Kingdom. There is only a Qinglong Grand Canyon that is two kilometers wide and one hundred kilometers long, connecting Qinglong County and Wu Kingdom.
As the only entrance and exit between Qinglong County and the Kingdom of Wu, the Qinglong Grand Canyon is the only way for caravans to travel between Qinglong County and other counties and cities in the Kingdom of Wu. It is also a place where bandits are rampant.
In order to ensure the safety of passing caravans, ensure the normal connection between Qinglong County and Wu State, and collect generous taxes from passing caravans, the governor of Qinglong County specially built a checkpoint in the center of the Qinglong Grand Canyon and dispatched a team of
An army of ten thousand people was stationed at the checkpoint to deter the bandits in the Qinglong Grand Canyon and the caravans who were unwilling to pay taxes.
"Master, the checkpoint guard wants to check the supplies in our convoy and requires us to pay one-tenth of the total value of the convoy's supplies in gold coins as a tax for passing the checkpoint!"
The butler, wearing a black collared suit, ran to Ye Chen's carriage with an angry look on his face and said loudly.
"Didn't you tell the checkpoint guard that I am the new lord of Linhai County, and I am going to Linhai County to take office according to the order of His Majesty Wu Kingdom? Didn't all the checkpoints along the way be allowed to pass unconditionally?"
After hearing the old housekeeper's report, Ye Chen walked out of the carriage and asked with a stern face.
"Master, I have said all this, but the checkpoint guard refuses to let us in, and even says that except for the order of the Qinglong County Sheriff, even the emperor's order is of no use. If we don't pay the carriage cargo general
A gold coin worth one-tenth of the value, they will never let us in!"
After hearing Ye Chen's question, the old housekeeper replied with an angry look on his face.
"Take me to the checkpoint to see who is so bold that he doesn't take His Majesty Wu's orders or our Ye Family Army seriously!"
Hearing the words of the old housekeeper, Ye Chen pondered for a while and secretly guessed that Qinglong County was far away from the Imperial Capital of Wu Kingdom. In addition, Qinglong County had little contact with the outside world, which led to the empire's control over Qinglong County being greatly reduced, leaving Qinglong County.
The county governor became a local emperor and did not take anyone seriously.
When Ye Chen walked to the checkpoint under the leadership of the old housekeeper, he discovered that the checkpoints in the Qinglong Grand Canyon were twenty meters high and were all made of hard bluestone. At the same time, there were numerous arrow towers above the checkpoints, which were huge.
Above the door, there are three magic crystal cannons. If that army wants to capture the level, it will definitely pay a huge price.
"Master, this is the gate officer of the pass!"
The old housekeeper pointed at a fat man wearing a gorgeous robe, with a big belly, two small eyes on his fat face, and a ledger in his hand.
"Are you the owner of this fleet? Honestly ask our people to count the items in your fleet and pay a tax of one-tenth of the total value of the items. Otherwise, you will go back and forth wherever you go!"
When the big fat man heard what the old housekeeper said, he immediately looked at Ye Chen with a wary look and said lightly.
"I am the owner of this motorcade and the new lord of Linhai County. Following His Majesty Wu's orders, I am going to Linhai County to take office. Any checkpoint on the way must be cleared unconditionally. Otherwise, my trip will be delayed. His Majesty Wu will blame me.
Come down, can you bear it?"
Hearing what the big fat man said, Ye Chen became angry and threatened loudly.
When he left the imperial capital, he purchased a large amount of various supplies. When he passed through other cities in the Wu Kingdom, he purchased another batch of supplies. Now, the convoy he leads contains a large amount of various supplies, with a total value of over 100 million.
One-tenth is ten million gold coins, he will not give it to the gatekeeper in vain!
"The new lord of Linhai County? Damn, Linhai County broke away from the empire decades ago. Is there any new lord there? I tell you, either pay the taxes honestly or get out of here. Don't delay other caravans.
Business!"
As soon as Ye Chen finished speaking, the fat man looked at Ye Chen with contempt and said, as if he was mocking Ye Chen for having to make up a good excuse for lying.
If the big fat man hadn't seen the Ye family's huge fleet and the huge profits, he wouldn't have talked so much nonsense with Ye Chen! He would have gone back to his comfort zone and slept with the beauty in his arms.
"This is my lord's seal. You can take a look. Also, what you just said was recorded with the magic sound stone. I don't know what your great Majesty Wu Guo will do after hearing your words.
What a reaction."
Feeling the contemptuous look in the big fat man's eyes, Ye Chen first frowned, then chuckled, and relaxed his brows. A fool did not deserve to be angry. He took out the Linhai County lord's seal from the space ring and waved it in front of the big fat man's eyes.
After a while, he took out a black stone from his arms and input a bit of mana into it. Suddenly, the conversation he had just had with the big fat man began to play out.
Seeing Ye Chen take out the lord's seal, the big fat man's face changed slightly. He was a relative of Sun Wei, the governor of Qinglong County. He had seen the lord's seal once in Sun Wei's study. In addition to the place name, it was in Ye Chen's hand.
The lord's seal is exactly the same.
After confirming the identity of Ye Chen's new lord of Linhai County, and thinking that he had recorded his disrespectful words to King Wu, his heart tightened, his head raced rapidly, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Ye Chen and said: "Give the magic sound stone to
I, after paying the toll of one million gold coins, I can let you enter the customs!"
