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

Seeing everyone smile bitterly, the high priest remained calm.

"Everyone, don't worry. Jiang Yuan definitely won't use this method too often."

"Think about it, if Jiang Yuan could use this method at any time, then why didn't he use it when I first besieged the city? He even went to such lengths to negotiate terms with us."

"This is our second siege, and yet Jiang Yuan resorted to this method. This is enough to prove that we really made Jiang Yuan feel threatened this time, so he had no choice but to resort to this method."

After the high priest finished speaking, the expressions of Phoenix and the others finally looked a little better. According to common sense, this was indeed the case.

"What about us now? Do we still need to build siege equipment and prepare for the siege?" Xuanwu asked cautiously.

The high priest waved his hand and said, "Of course not. We just need to seal off the city. Even if Jiang Yuan can really summon the totem, he is still a mortal after all. He will die if he doesn't eat or drink water!"

"Anyway, we can still eat to sustain ourselves for another two or three years. I don't believe the supplies in this city are enough for them to eat for two or three years!"

On the city wall of Taiping County.

Jiang Yuan jumped down from the city wall lightly and looked at the grenade launcher that had been launched. What a good thing, really a good thing.

Three cannonballs were used to repel a million barbarian soldiers. There is no other example in the entire history of Daduan.

"Sir, what is this thing called?" Zhao Kai stared at the strange thing in front of him.

The destructive power is even greater than that of a catapult!

"Let's call this thing a mortar from now on." Jiang Yuan said lightly, then turned to look at Ma Zhi.

"Assist Chen Xudong and Chen Xuming to mass-produce the mortars as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, sir. It will definitely be put into use in three months at the latest." Ma Zhi said, patting his chest.

Jiang Yuan looked at the barbarian soldiers below, turned around and walked down the city wall: "I'll go down first. As usual, no one is allowed to attack without my order."

After saying that, Jiang Yuan took Wang Gang and slowly walked down the city wall.

"Master, where are we going?" Wang Gang asked while chewing a piece of beef jerky.

Jiang Yuan walked lazily on the street with his hands behind his back: "Let's go find Qinglong and see how this kid is doing recently."

A moment later, Jiang Yuan arrived at the area planned for the Qinglong tribe in Taiping County.

The Qinglong tribe has a population of over 100,000, and not all of them have been allocated houses yet, so the construction work in the city has not stopped, but most people have already started working in Taiping County and are involved in the construction of Taiping County.

In general, the Qinglong tribe gets along quite well with the indigenous people of Taiping County. Of course, this is also related to the fact that there is no conflict of interest between the two sides.

"Jiang Yuan, how come you have time to come here!"

Qinglong's voice was heard, and then he trotted all the way to Jiang Yuan.

"Qinglong, how is the living here? Are you adapting?" Jiang Yuan asked with a smile.

Qinglong shook his head repeatedly: "Don't say it, I'm too used to it. Now I understand why those countries in the Central Plains like to build cities to live in."

"This is really great! We don't have to run around. Many people in our tribe don't want to go back anymore!"

As he spoke, Qinglong looked at Jiang Yuan expectantly, which clearly showed his intention.

Jiang Yuan had a smile on his face. This is not nonsense. Even if you want to go back, I will do everything possible to stop you.

"That couldn't be better. From now on, you people from the Qinglong tribe will live here. After all, you are Qinglongs and we are Shenlongs. We are one family."

"But now there is a troublesome matter, and I need your help."

Qinglong's expression gradually grew serious. "I know what you're talking about. Although I haven't been to the city wall recently, I've heard that the high priest has led the nine-division coalition army to surround us."

"Yes, that's why I'm not really worried about it. If a fight really breaks out, our Shenlong tribe is not afraid. But what I'm thinking is that we are all barbarians after all."

"It's no use fighting like this, so I want you to help me think of a solution."

"Don't worry!" Qinglong clenched his fists and looked at Jiang Yuan with a firm gaze: "Among the nine tribes, Huolong is my brother. As long as he knows that someone from our Qinglong tribe is here, he will definitely not make a move again."

"Besides, Baihu and I have a good relationship. We are allies on the grassland. I am confident that I can convince him."

"Even if the others still decide to make things difficult for us, we, the four tribes, will unite and we won't be afraid of them!"

Jiang Yuan nodded heavily immediately: "Okay! Well said. I'll trouble you with this matter."

"Whenever it's convenient for you, I'll find a chance for someone to take you out of the city."

Qinglong lowered his head and pondered for a moment before speaking, "It's better to do it now than to wait for a day. Let's go out tonight. I'll be going out alone. You guys wait for my news."

"It's not safe for you to go alone." Jiang Yuan was a little worried. After all, the barbarians now obey the orders of the high priest of the priest clan.

Qinglong waved his hand: "Don't panic, no matter what the high priest does, he won't dare to touch me."

"Jiang Yuan, just rest assured and wait for my good news."

Time passed quickly and it was night. Under the gaze of Jiang Yuan and others, Qinglong slid down the city wall along a rope, then waved to everyone and disappeared into the night.

Jiang Yuan stood on the city wall, looking at the barbarian base camp in the distance.

It's almost time to start closing in.

Of the nine tribes, he only needed to win over two or three, and the rest would fall apart on their own.

Even though these guys now obey the orders of the high priest and act as if they are very respectful to the priest clan.

In fact, it is not the case. How many people are there in the Priest Clan? Twenty or thirty thousand people, how much influence can they have in the Nine Clan Alliance?

The reason why these barbarian leaders were willing to listen to the high priest was simply that they needed to elect someone to take charge, and the high priest's interests coincided with theirs, so they simply let the high priest be the leader.

If the high priest's interests conflict with theirs, who will listen to him?

After all, the barbarians are no longer the barbarians of many years ago. The totem era has passed, and the priest clan has lost its glory.

……

In the barbarian camp, in a tent with a fire dragon logo, the fire dragon and two strong men were drinking and sighing.

"Baihu, Kunpeng, what do you think, is it right or wrong for us to continue surrounding this city like this?"

Bai Hu Meng took a big gulp of wine and sighed, "According to the rules, this is definitely wrong. We have an alliance with the Shenlong Tribe. If we attack them now, we will definitely be wrong."

Kunpeng nodded and continued, "That's right, but we have no choice. We can't just watch our people starve to death."

"Those cities deep within Daduan are even harder to attack, and we are only good at field battles. Attacking a city will surely result in heavy losses."

"But I think it's not fair for us to do this." The fire dragon shook his head.

"And you saw today that the thunder Jiang Yuan summoned is even more powerful than before. I think if a fight really breaks out, the outcome is hard to predict."

"Since the outcome is already decided, we might as well not waste time here with the Shenlong Tribe. We are all barbarians. No matter who wins or loses, the ones who die in the end are all our barbarians. Why bother?"

"Why not go out of the mountains and go deep into Daduan to fight those guys? If we can defeat them, we can occupy them. If we can't defeat them, we won't be swinging our scimitars at our compatriots."

Just as a few people were sighing with emotion, the tent curtain was lifted.

"Chief, Chief Qinglong is here! He said he wants to see you!"

When a report was made, the three people in the tent were stunned. The fire dragon opened its mouth and looked at the tent entrance blankly.

"Qinglong? Didn't Qinglong disappear a long time ago? How come he suddenly appeared here?"

Baihu and Kunpeng were also very surprised. After all, according to the news, Qinglong had disappeared with the tribe for a long time. How could he come to their base camp now?

"Hurry! Please come in!" said the fire dragon, stood up and walked towards the entrance.

"Haha! Fire Dragon, are you drinking? You're doing well, kid!"

A loud laugh was heard, and the Azure Dragon and the Fire Dragon hugged each other tightly. When their strong bodies collided, the sound was like steel colliding.

"Qinglong! Hahaha, it's really you! I thought someone was impersonating you!"

"Come in quickly. Oh, Sandezi, bring two more jars of wine. Also, have someone send in a roasted whole lamb."

Fire Dragon said this, turning around and pulling Azure Dragon towards the table.

"Qinglong, you don't know what we've been through during this period of time. You absolutely won't believe it!"

"Qinglong, I finally see you again!" Baihu stood up with a smile.

After they sat down again, Qinglong picked up the bowl and took a sip of wine, and immediately praised it highly.

"Yes, Fire Dragon, the wine from your tribe is still so delicious!"

"But I'm here to discuss serious matters with you, so please don't drink so much."

The Fire Dragon put down the wine jar in surprise. "Business? Qinglong, what do you mean by that? Oh, by the way, I haven't had time to ask you, where did all the people from your Qinglong tribe go? Why haven't you heard from them for so long?"

Baihu and the other two also looked at Qinglong. They were also very curious. The Qinglong tribe had over 100,000 people. With so many people, it was impossible that no news could be passed on.

"Well, since you asked, I'll make it short." Qinglong spoke softly, then took the lead in putting a finger to his mouth.

"Don't be surprised when you hear this later."

"Don't worry, Qinglong. After all, we are leaders of a group and have seen big scenes." Baihu said.

Qinglong nodded: "Actually, I have been in the city of the Shenlong tribe these days, and the 100,000 people of our Qinglong tribe are also there."

"what?!"

"Why are you in there?"

Qinglong looked at the three of them helplessly. He had agreed not to be surprised.

"Keep your voice down. I'm here to find a way out for you." Qinglong spoke again.

The rest of the people shut up and even put down the wine bowls in their hands. This was related to the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people. Everyone had to take this kind of thing seriously.

"Everyone, listen up! Don't make an enemy of Jiang Yuan. The power of the Shenlong Tribe is beyond your imagination!"

The three Fire Dragons looked at each other and immediately smiled bitterly.

Unbelievable? They seem to have witnessed it today.

"I know that you were struck by three thunders today. Believe me, these are just some small tricks. You haven't seen Jiang Yuan's real big move yet!" Qinglong Eco said seriously.

"Listen up, everyone! We'd rather honor Jiang Yuan as the common ruler of the grassland than become his enemy!"
