Late summer Friends Club activity room, wooden house by the lake.
"Are you crazy?" Ge Sheng looked at Ye Qing and said.
"No." Ye Qing replied calmly.
"Then why do you ask her for an imperial oath? I have already told you what she has done." Ge Sheng sighed.
"She made Linglong Heart, and according to you, the cooking is delicious, but that doesn't mean I can't swear an oath with her." Ye Qing looked into the distance: "Or, brother, you told me at that time what do I do."
"I don't know what your relationship is with her, and I don't want to know, but what I know is that you are my brother, and I dislike her very much." Ye Qing said An Ran: "I will not allow myself to do nothing. If you do it, you will lose everything, so even if you know you are going to lose, at least do it first.”
"Also, I may not lose."
Ge Sheng didn't say anything, he just reached out and took out a poorly wrapped candy from his pocket.
"Then you try this first."
Ye Qing took it, opened the candy wrapper, and put the white candy inside into his mouth. In the next moment, Ye Qing's eyes suddenly lit up for a moment, and then dimmed.
"She did it?"
Ge Sheng nodded: "Yes, I originally asked for one specially for you, but then I felt that I really couldn't give it to you."
Ye Qing smiled bitterly: "Okay, okay, brother, how soon can you come to Lanlan to see me."
…
…
The emperor swears seven.
Said Wen.
Said utensil.
Said Ming.
Said Wu.
Said meal.
Said medicine.
Said jade.
This is the emperor's oath.
One hundred and ten years ago, the Prime Emperor and Shuhua Emperor also completed the world's first Imperial Oath at Ye Ye College, and left this term in human history forever, and the two people determined by that Imperial Oath The borders of the great empires, as well as the commercial federation that existed as a buffer between the two empires, had also been retained on the map for more than 110 years.
But this time, Ye Qing proposed the imperial oath that Christie agreed to, but it was slightly different.
The biggest difference is that Ye Qing said that Ge Sheng once performed an imperial oath.
Although not many people knew about the small oath that was held at Fengmian Villa and only completed the three civil, military and jade tests, Christie was naturally among those few.
So Christie proposed that she was willing to complete the remaining four oaths with Ye Qing.
That is to say, the four oaths of tea, food, and medicine.
Ao Xuehua pushed open the door and walked in, holding a stack of bound pages in her hand. She calmly walked to the table, placed it on the table and pushed it in front of Ye Qing.
"Christie has sent the Imperial Oath's plan. If you have no objections, it will be established after signing. If there are any modifications, then modify them directly on this plan. She will consider it. If there are major differences, For any project, we will agree on a time to negotiate and resolve it.”
Ye Qing smiled bitterly: "She is sure to win, so she still needs to be so serious?"
"I'm going to correct you a little bit." Ao Xuehua smiled slightly: "She is not guaranteed to win, and please read the plan first before speaking."
Ye Qing nodded helplessly, reached out and took the plan and started reading the first page. Ge Sheng couldn't help but said next to him: "President, have you already read it?"
"This is the first version of the agreement between me and her. We need to discuss the details with Xiaojiu." Ao Xuehua nodded.
"That guy..." Ye Qing used abbreviated pronouns angrily, and then let out a slight exclamation: "What, this time the Emperor's Oath will last for four days?"
"Yes, it's written below." Ao Xuehua nodded: "The theme of the next oath competition will be announced after each day's competition. You will have one night to prepare, so four days is a very appropriate interval."
"Theme?" Ye Qing looked at the following introduction carefully: "Did she come up with a topic?"
"No." Ao Xuehua shook his head: "In principle, after the referee team has discussed several alternatives, it will be decided by drawing lots on the spot."
Ye Qing hurriedly went downstairs to find the referee team. When he found it, he couldn't help but made a choking sound: "Can she invite all these people?"
"It would be a surprise if we can't invite you." Aoxuehua said lightly. Seeing Ye Qing's expression, Ge Sheng couldn't help but lean over to take a look. When he saw the so-called list of referees, he couldn't help but make a sound that was almost frightened. .
"No."
"This is the result." Ao Xuehua nodded: "If these people are the referees, the results of the competition can also be notarized. There are some other matters that will follow. Xiaojiu can also confirm it further if it is convenient."
Ye Qing finally confirmed that this was a very serious imperial oath, completely different from the one Ge Sheng had made at Fengmian Villa last time.
"There is no limit on the number of participants for the Emperor's Oath on both sides?" Ye Qing finally found an entry that he was somewhat interested in.
"After I confirmed to her many times that you are a top-notch idiot in refining weapons and potions, she agreed to my additional terms. Although beating children can sometimes be very pleasurable, if a giant dragon bullies a If it's a baby, the dragon's conscience will occasionally ache." Ao Xuehua confirmed.
Ye Qing curled his lips silently: "Can I apply to cancel this clause?"
"Of course, if you can't wait to go back to Lanlan City for vacation."
Ye Qing helplessly turned the page.
"What about Christie?" Ge Sheng asked silently: "Has Christie decided that she will personally fight for the four Imperial Oaths?"
Ao Xuehua nodded: "To put it simply, among these four projects, for two of them, she is a unique master in this world. For the other two, there are only five people in the world who can surpass her. What do you think?" "
At this time, Ye Qing also turned to a chapter that was beyond his expectation: "Why is it the Imperial Oath Competition between Ye Ye College and West City? She and I must have used our private names at the time."
"This time the Emperor's Oath will be held publicly in the West City, and will be controlled. A limited number of tickets will be issued to determine the number of spectators. At this time, she has disclosed her identity as the controller of the Commercial Federation. Is it possible that Xiao Jiu also Do you want to challenge as Princess Lan Yejiu? Besides, Xiaojiu, you are destined to be unable to participate in all events, so after careful consideration, I decided to challenge as the Ye Ye Academy. The ostensible Imperial Oath bet will also be a proportion of the West City tax revenue. ." Aoxuehua replied calmly.
Although Ye Qing wanted to refute, he had to admit that Aoxuehua's decision was in her own interest.
The blue-haired princess turned to the last page, and then nodded silently: "As expected of you and her, there is nothing I want to modify in this plan. So, if I agree, then the Emperor's Oath will Starting three days later on April 7th?"
"If Xiaojiu doesn't need to modify it."
Ye Qing closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then raised his brush and signed his name at the end.
"Hopefully I don't have to go back for vacation."
Ao Xuehua smiled.
"There's still a little chance if you sincerely hope so."
It seems that under Christie's intentional operation, the news about this imperial oath quickly spread throughout Ye Ye City. Not only within Ye Ye College, but also among the residents of Ye Ye after dinner, most of the discussions were about this time. Emperor's oath.
Yes, although Ye Qing is not very famous, and because she does not want to make her identity too public, she is the emperor's oath between Ye Ye College and West City on a public level, but on the other hand, Christie is very famous.
Since this girl took over the Croft family three years ago, her name has been well-known in the highest circles of the world. Of course, it is accompanied by her name of Alaya.
But in the following three years, this girl has been living deep in her castle, with almost no contact with the outside world, so many times, the world has gradually forgotten her, even though in the past three years, she has been in charge of the family for more than one year. The haze of civil strife, after losing Douglas, instead of shrinking and decadent, is expanding at a faster speed and at a deeper level. However, except for those who are interested, she is gradually fading away from everyone's vision. .
However, it is like a bird in the south. If it has no wings for three years, it will grow its wings; if it does not fly or sing, it will observe the rules of the people. Although there is no flying, the flying will reach the sky; although there is no sound, the sound will be astonishing.
When Christie finally decided to appear in the world, she first exiled her biological parents, who had been imprisoned by her for three years. On the one hand, she semi-publicly announced her reconciliation with her parents. The decision to exile also ensured that she remained the supreme authority in the clan. Then he came to Ye Ye City alone and declared his absolute control over West City with a fire that burned all the accounts of West City. Although it did not completely eliminate the influence of West City, it was a good start. At the end, she announced that she would make an imperial oath with Ye Ye College to determine the tax ratio.
And he challenged the entire Ye Ye College with one person.
You know, in this world, pure combat power often cannot decide everything, unless your combat power is strong enough to ignore all the rules of the world.
Just like Shuhua and Yuantai did more than 110 years ago, they did not determine the border between the two countries by simply deciding the outcome by force, but adopted a complex and variable imperial oath. In comparison, , in fact, is the comprehensive strength of the two countries.
The same is true at this time. Although it is said that Christie is the only one who is fighting, in fact, what is shown is the strength of the Croft family, or the overall strength of the Commercial Federation.
So many people are looking forward to whether this so-called legendary Alaya consciousness can really take on the power of a race.
For people who don't know Christie well, what they are more concerned about is the title of the only queen in the world, and they want to know how beautiful and powerful this queen is.
And in this atmosphere, the much-anticipated Emperor's Oath finally kicked off.
According to the previous plan, the Emperor's Oath venue was to be held in the open space in front of Blue Gensokyo. So when Ye Qing brought a group of people from the Late Summer Friends Club here, he found that Christie had already built a temporary arena here. The wooden ring-shaped seats more than three feet high can be arranged in ten rows, and each row can accommodate nearly a hundred people. In other words, in just three days, Christie hurriedly made this standard seat. A small arena that can accommodate a thousand people.
However, this is only what this standard seat can accommodate. On the second floor and above of major stores near the stadium, there are private rooms specially prepared for VIPs, where they can watch the Emperor's Oath calmly.
"How much did she charge?" Ye Qing stood in the middle of the arena and pouted: "She's really unscrupulous."
"This is jointly organized by the West City and the college, and all profits will naturally be divided equally between the two. Xiaojiu, you are worrying too much." Aoxuehua said leisurely: "Look, the referee is here."
In the middle of the Saishi shopping area, in this open space surrounded by many shops, in front of the door of Blue Gensokyo, there is a seemingly ordinary long table, but the people behind the long table are not at all. ordinary.
This referee team was the most luxurious referee team in the world that made Ye Qing feel suffocated and Ge Sheng was amazed.
The people sitting in the back from the left are Carotes, Ye Luan, Lin Xi, Lan Ying, and Yi Lanshan.
If we want to expand the introduction, then one is the so-called leader of the three traitors of Ye Ye College, the only senior Carotes who has served as the supreme leader of the three major societies and unexpectedly has a very high status in the college.
One is Princess Lanye Xian, who has great power and prestige in the Lanye Empire. Because she has exercised the power that originally belonged to the queen on behalf of her mother, her status in the Lanye Empire is generally considered to be second only to Ye Bei as the crown prince.
As for the third person, there is no need for any redundant prefixes. The strongest human being today, Lin Xi, the current dean of Ye Ye College.
As for the fourth person, he is someone whom he knows deeply, but is just like a passerby who he does not know, because he himself is also widely considered to be a legend who is no longer alive.
Yi Lanshan was sitting in the last seat, with the iron mask on his forehead being stiff and cold. After Christie told Ge Sheng that Yi Lanshan had an unparalleled appearance between men and women, Ge Sheng, intentionally or unintentionally, would always imagine Yi Lanshan's appearance under the iron mask. .
Even though Yi Lanshan is actually over seventy now, with his Ziwei realm cultivation, he probably doesn't look more than thirty years old, just like Ren Qiuke.
"I think you all already know the reason why we are sitting here right now." Lin Xi in the middle spoke calmly, his voice filling the air.
"Then I'll cut the story short."
There were a total of five people standing on the competition stage at this time.
The legal Loli Xiang, His Highness the Third Prince, Ye Qing, and Ao Xuehua respectively represent Ye Ye College, and correspond to the utensils, tea, food, and medicine in the Emperor's Oath respectively.
Opposite them, only Christie in a white coat stood there calmly.
"The test questions of the Emperor's Oath Weapon."
Lin Xi took out a piece of paper from the sealed box on the table, announced it to the left and right, and then opened it, her tone of voice not fluctuating.
"A material."
"You will have one day to consider the plan and prepare materials. Then you will start at noon tomorrow and complete your work before sunset. You will participate in the competition. Those who finish early will receive certain bonus points."
"Any objections?"
Xiang, who was wearing an exquisite black dress, nodded calmly. She stood out among the five people on the stage because she was only as tall as the others' shoulders: "That's a good topic."
Christie smiled: "You are indeed a master. How about we meet again at this time tomorrow?"
Xiang turned to look at the girl who was a head and half a shoulder taller than him: "Okay, Alaya Shi."
