I have been a county magistrate for ten years. My subordinates insist on giving me a yellow robe.
Chapter 428: If you can’t do it, then it’s my turn!
"What do you mean I win?" Jiang Yuan said unhappily.
"I was the winner."
The high priest looked at Jiang Yuan with a grim expression. To fail in front of hundreds of thousands of barbarians was undoubtedly not a good thing for the priest clan.
"Well, let's just assume you win for now. Tell me your terms."
Jiang Yuan lazily lay on the city wall and spoke softly, "It's simple. Although you live in the grasslands and advocate barter, you may not have much money."
"But it's been around for quite a few years, so there should be some gold, silver, and jewelry. Give it all to me."
Hearing this, the high priest was obviously relieved. It was just some gold, silver and jewelry.
Just as this guy said, barter is the most important thing on the grassland, and gold, silver and jewelry are useless except for buying some things from smugglers.
"What a short-sighted person." The high priest sneered and turned to walk towards the large army behind him.
On the city wall, Zhao Kai and his companions were all stunned, and then looked at Jiang Yuan in confusion.
"Sir, your conditions are a bit too simple, aren't they?"
"Yes, you must at least bring back a few thousand war horses." Kong Xuan asked in confusion.
Jiang Yuan curled his lips helplessly: "What can I say about you guys?"
"Even though that old guy lost, he's not an idiot!"
"If I ask him for some gold, silver, or jewelry, he'll definitely give it to me. But if I ask him for a warhorse, or even ask the people behind him to surrender, do you think that's possible?"
"Similarly, if he wins this time and asks us to open the city gate, will we really open it?"
"Just get some benefits, why do you need a bicycle?"
A moment later, boxes of gold, silver and jewelry were carried to the city gate.
The high priest raised his head calmly and said, "Everything is here. Come out and get it."
Jiang Yuan bared his teeth, he really is a shrewd old man.
Obviously he lost, but this old guy obviously wanted to wait for the moment the city gate was opened so that people could rush in.
"No need. We'll drop the rope down from the wall, and you can just tie it up and we'll pull it up."
The high priest was stunned, a look of disappointment flashed across his face, but he quickly calmed down. After all, he was the lord of a city, so it was normal for him to have some common sense.
"Go and do as he tells you."
In a blink of an eye, dozens of large boxes were tied with ropes, and the soldiers above Taiping County began to pull them up.
However, halfway through the march, the high priest standing in front of the barbarian army suddenly waved his hand, and hundreds of barbarian cavalrymen behind him drew their bows and drew their arrows in an instant.
Whoosh whoosh!
boom!
Bang bang bang!
First there was a rain of arrows, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
Jiang Yuan looked at the rope that was shot off and his eyes narrowed. This old man is not easy to deal with.
"Hahaha! Sir, we gave you the things, but if you don't have the ability to pull them up, it's none of my business." The high priest looked at Jiang Yuan with a happy look.
"Great, great, there are so many talented people in this world." Jiang Yuan couldn't help but sigh, then suddenly straightened up.
"High Priest, to be honest, you're not the only one who can summon totems to manifest spirits. I also know a thing or two about this method!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yuan quickly raised the spear in his hand.
boom!
The moment the gunshot rang out, the high priest's pupils dilated instantly and he squatted subconsciously.
When he came to his senses, the feathers that were originally on top of his head had been scattered, and countless tiny hairs were flying in the air.
"retreat!"
The high priest roared, and before anyone else could react, his body disappeared from the spot and appeared fifty meters away.
"Damn! This old guy is still a strong and powerful master who is invincible?" Jiang Yuan looked at the high priest in surprise.
The speed just now was totally not the fastest speed in the second realm. You must know that the other party started directly from a stationary position. If he could run, he would probably not be worse than himself now.
By this calculation, this old guy is still a strong man in the fifth realm of martial arts.
He looks like he can be blown down by a gust of wind, but he is actually an old bitch.
After many barbarians retreated fifty meters in panic, the high priest still looked at Jiang Yuan with lingering fear.
If that force had hit him, he had no doubt that he could withstand it.
Guaranteed to die!
"High Priest, why are you running so fast? To be honest, I know some tricks." As Jiang Yuan spoke, a truth bomb appeared in his hand.
Huolong and the others had seen this thing before, and Jiang Yuan and the others naturally knew it as well.
But after not seeing each other for several years and being only a few hundred meters apart, it is normal not to recognize each other.
But once the truth bomb is dropped, exposure of the identity is inevitable.
As for what happens next, it depends on what Fire Dragon and the others choose.
"High Priest, since you can't do it, then I have to take action!"
Jiang Yuan said, then he jumped directly onto the city wall: "Foolish mortals! You have invaded our territory for no reason!"
"Our great totem spirit has been completely enraged!"
"The Dragon Totem will rain down lightning to punish you!"
As Jiang Yuan spoke, he pulled out the truth bomb hat in his hand and threw it out violently.
boom!
After a loud bang, the place where the truth bomb landed suddenly turned black.
Fortunately, the barbarians retreated far enough away, so Jiang Yuan did not hurt anyone.
When they saw the truth bomb explode, Fire Dragon, Phoenix and Bifang looked at each other in surprise. This scene reminded them of a certain guy.
"Jiang Yuan?"
"That's right! It should be his Shenlong tribe. Only the guys from the Shenlong tribe can produce such lightning-fast sounds that sound like the roar of thunder!"
"So, doesn't this mean that this city belongs to the Shenlong Tribe?"
After a discussion among the three, Huolong excitedly left the main group and ran forward for dozens of meters.
"Those are the brothers from the Shenlong tribe on the city wall!"
"Is your leader Jiang Yuan here?"
On the city wall, Jiang Yuan wore a faint smile on his face. "Finally, I recognized him. I wonder if these guys are planning to rob me openly or use moral blackmail next?"
"I am the leader here. Who is below?" Jiang Yuan asked knowingly.
"I am Huolong, Brother Jiang Yuan." Huolong spoke quickly.
Jiang Yuan's expression suddenly changed: "What the hell are you talking about!"
"Don't try to sow discord between us brothers. Brother Huolong and I are friends for life and death. How could he possibly lead his troops to attack me? Stop talking nonsense here!"
Huolong's face was filled with embarrassment. Indeed, he had signed a formal alliance with Jiang Yuan.
No matter what, it was wrong for him to take the initiative to come here and attack the city of the Shenlong tribe.
"Brother Jiang Yuan, please don't misunderstand. We didn't know this was the city of your Shenlong tribe. This is all a misunderstanding!"
"Misunderstanding? Seriously, could it really be my Fire Dragon brother down there?" Jiang Yuan spoke again.
Huolong nodded quickly: "Really, Brother Jiang Yuan, why don't you come out and meet me?"
Jiang Yuan curled his lips. "Go out? Is that even possible?"
Not to mention that the fire dragon is unlikely to attack me, even if there is a 99% chance that it won't attack me, I can't get out.
Don’t be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of what happens.
Aren’t there many such examples in the world?
Just like World War II on Earth, no one would have thought that the mad dog would bite anyone.
"Brother Fire Dragon, how about you come up and let's talk?" Jiang Yuan said lightly.
The expression on Huolong's face was a little unnatural. You, Jiang Yuan, are afraid that I will play tricks, and I, Huolong, am afraid too.
"Well, Jiang Yuan, you don't have to be afraid. No one will do anything bad to you."
Jiang Yuan looked at Huo Long with a forced smile: "Brother Huo Long, it's not that I don't trust you, but think about it, hundreds of thousands of your troops have already arrived at my city."
"And it's obvious that they're here to attack the city. And what about me? To be honest, Brother Fire Dragon, I'm sure you saw what I did just now, from the distance you're at."
"To be frank, it would have been easy for me to take your name, but I didn't do anything. Isn't that enough to show our sincerity?"
Huolong's expression suddenly changed when he heard this, but Jiang Yuan had already said it. If he retreated now, wouldn't it just prove that he was guilty?
"Brother Jiang Yuan, since you're unwilling to come down, I'll go back and discuss it with Fenghuang and the others."
As soon as he finished speaking, the fire dragon hurriedly began to retreat. Only after retreating dozens of meters did he wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
At this time, the high priest was listening to Fenghuang and the other man telling about Jiang Yuan's deeds on the grassland a few years ago.
"In the end, we had no choice but to acknowledge his existence as the eleventh top tribe." Phoenix said helplessly.
The high priest nodded slightly: "I understand what is going on. So, this Shenlong tribe really has some methods that ordinary people can hardly imagine."
"Furthermore, this Jiang Yuan appeared once on the grassland a few years ago, but he didn't ask you to divide your land with him. Then he hasn't appeared again for several years."
"It seems that this leader named Jiang Yuan is quite interesting. He has become famous, but he doesn't seek any real benefits for himself, and only wants some small profits."
The Fire Dragon took a deep breath and said, "High Priest, if he doesn't want to come out, what should we do now?"
The high priest rubbed his wrinkled hands on his crutch. After a long pause, he spoke: "Since you have already signed an alliance with the Shenlong Tribe, you naturally cannot use swords against us anymore."
"Then what should we do? Do we have to enter the Central Plains and attack the city?" Bifang spoke quickly.
The high priest frowned and said, "This is naturally inappropriate."
"Then what should we do? We can't just go back to the grassland and wait to die, right?" Phoenix said with a sullen face.
The high priest shook his head at them and said, "Don't worry, let me think about it."
With that, the high priest turned and walked over to Xi Liu'er. "Liu'er, what do you think of the thunderbolt from the Dragon Tribe?"
Xi Liuer smiled silently. As the descendant of the high priest, he certainly knew what the so-called mysterious methods of the priest clan were.
It is nothing more than controlling some insects, but because it is done secretly and cannot be discovered, it is praised as a miracle.
Although he didn't understand how Jiang Yuan did it, he guessed that it was no different from their priest clan.
But they are just some deceptive tricks.
"Grandpa, I think these people have some tricks up their sleeves. The swarm of insects I just released might not have been an accident, but was dealt with by these guys."
The high priest nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, it's good that you thought of this. What do you think we should do next?"
Xi Liuer had an unconvinced expression on his face: "Grandpa, I want to try again. I don't believe I will lose to this Jiang Yuan!"
