I have been a county magistrate for ten years. My subordinates insist on giving me a yellow robe.

Qinglong scratched his head and was speechless for a moment.

That’s right. I brought people to block someone’s door for such a long time. Can it be resolved by just saying it was a misunderstanding?

"Um, Jiang Yuan, I was wrong about this matter, but I had no other choice but to resort to this desperate measure."

"You? What else could you be forced to do? Your Qinglong tribe is considered to be the dominant one in the grassland. Is there anyone who can force you to do something?" Jiang Yuan said dissatisfiedly.

Qinglong sighed helplessly: "Although you are right, our Qinglong tribe is really at the end of the road."

"What do you mean? Were you beaten up? That doesn't make sense. Would Huolong and the others beat you up out of boredom?" Jiang Yuan asked knowingly.

What else could be the reason? It's probably because the thorny grass seeds that I asked Li Hu and others to sow have now become a disaster.

However, Jiang Yuan didn't expect that Qinglong would be the first one forced to leave the grassland. He could only blame his bad luck.

"Really not." Qinglong said dejectedly.

"Here's what happened: a year ago, some incredibly tough grass suddenly appeared on the grassland where our tribe is located."

"It's covered in thorns, and the cattle and sheep won't eat it. I didn't think it was a big deal at first, but I never imagined that within a year, it would have taken over half of our tribe's land..."

"Isn't there still more than half left? Why are you in such a hurry?" Jiang Yuan interrupted.

Qinglong was anxious, pointing at the large number of barbarians behind him and said, "I'm not anxious, but they are. One-third of the land is wasted. Am I really going to watch these people starve to death?"

"So you're setting your sights on our Shenlong tribe?" Jiang Yuan said with a squint.

"No, no, no, this is really a misunderstanding, we didn't know." Qinglong spoke quickly.

"Okay, let's talk about it later. I have to lead my people to find the next target now."

Qinglong said this and turned around to leave.

Jiang Yuan quickly grabbed Qinglong's hand and said, "Hey, what's the rush? Now that you're here, if I let you go like this, wouldn't that mean my Shenlong Tribe is doing something wrong?"

"Come on, follow me into the city, and let's have a good meal first."

Jiang Yuan said this and pulled Qinglong inside. The barbarian soldiers in front immediately made way for him.

"Everyone, set up camp here first. Remember to stay on both sides, don't hinder others from traveling together, and don't cause trouble!" After Qinglong gave a few instructions, he followed Jiang Yuan into the city.

At the city gate, Chen Qing, who had already known everything, still acted as if he had suffered a great injustice and went forward to cry.

"Sir, these guys surrounded our city without any reason!"

"The people in our city are so scared that they dare not speak loudly!"

"If it weren't for the fact that they are a barbarian tribe, we would have been beaten long ago. You have to stand up for us."

Qinglong felt embarrassed and wanted to step forward to explain.

"Okay, everything has been made clear. Let's go into the city first." Jiang Yuan waved his hand. Some things just need to be known to others, but he must never be allowed to explain them out loud. He must feel guilty, otherwise how can he discuss the next thing?

Soon, when they arrived at Taiping Restaurant, Jiang Yuan waved and called the shopkeeper over.

"Serve according to the old rules!"

"Okay, please wait a moment, sir."

Qinglong, who came in with Jiang Yuan, now had a face full of envy and yearning.

This was his first time entering the city. From the outside, he only knew that it was huge, and he could only imagine what was inside.

Only after entering did I see many people living peacefully in the city, eating, drinking tea, and children playing.

Isn't this the scene he has always wanted?

"Jiang Yuan, how long has your city been built?" Qinglong asked in a low voice.

"Oh, it has been built for hundreds of years, and as you can see, there are more and more people in our Shenlong tribe, and we have been expanding outward." Jiang Yuan said nonchalantly.

Qinglong looked around and said a little embarrassedly: "What if we also build a city around it, do you think it will be okay?"

"That's definitely not possible!" Jiang Yuan refused directly.

"This area is all the territory of our Shenlong tribe. If you want to build a city, you have to conquer the land yourself."

Qinglong immediately lowered his head and conquered a piece of land. It sounded simple.

How could they possibly give up the territory of Da Duan? The 100,000 people behind him were not a small number, but they were still not qualified to compete with Da Duan.

"Alas, is it God's will to destroy our Qinglong tribe?"

Jiang Yuan took a sip of tea and then said slowly, "Actually, I have a compromise."

"Speak! Jiang Yuan, as long as you can help me this time, I will definitely repay you in the future!" Qinglong spoke quickly.

Jiang Yuan sighed for a while, then turned to look at Qinglong: "How about this, I can let you stay in the Shenlong Tribe temporarily..."

"Really?!" Qinglong said excitedly.

In this way, doesn’t it mean that all 100,000 people can have a temporary place to live, and there will be time to move after finding a new place.

"Of course it's true. How could I joke about such a big thing?" Jiang Yuan said lightly.

"But, having said that, brothers must settle accounts clearly. There are some things I need to explain to you first."

Qinglong patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Jiang Yuan. Since you are so righteous, I will definitely not let you down!"

Jiang Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, Qinglong, don't blame me for speaking so bluntly."

"Well, Jiang Yuan, don't worry, just tell me, I won't say anything!"

"Well, first of all, your people cannot conflict with those of our Shenlong tribe."

"Second, you must follow my instructions here. I will provide you with food and lodging, and you must also help us continue to build the city."

"Third, if there are enemies, we must resist them together. That's all for now, but the final right of interpretation belongs to me!"

After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, Qinglong thought about it for a while and immediately nodded in agreement.

Anyway, what Jiang Yuan said was not excessive, and there was nothing unacceptable to Qinglong, not to mention that food and accommodation were provided.

How does the saying go? Orcs will never be slaves unless they are provided with food and shelter.

Not only is food and accommodation provided, but there are also great benefits. If you don’t take advantage of such a good deal, you’d be a fool!

A barely perceptible sly smile appeared on Jiang Yuan's lips.

Just wait and see. With the welfare benefits in Taiping County, if you stay here for two or three years, I don’t believe that you people from the Qinglong tribe will want to go back to live that precarious life.

Sooner or later, these 100,000 of you, including men and horses, will all belong to my Taiping County!

Not only you, but the remaining millions of barbarians on the grassland will all be mine!

Who cares about Ning Fei or the Sixth Realm? Are 3,000 people enough? Are 30,000 people enough? 300,000 should be enough!
