The outer wall of the newly built Panshi City is tall and sturdy, and the outside of the city is empty. Standing on the top of the city wall, you can bring everything under the city into your eyes.

Winter is almost over. With a little warm wind, a little sand and soil were brought up from the ground, and it flew in the air with people's chaotic steps. The melting snow was trampled on, and the white earth outside the city instantly turned into a mud field. Just like a large group of mules and horses rushed into the depression where the water was accumulated, splashing countless muds, suppressing the slightly improved wind, pulling down the sand and soil that left the ground, and twisting them to death. Their beautiful dream of flying to the sky will always become part of the earth.

More than half of them are women. According to the views of the northern barbarians, they are all ugly. There is no fat on their waists or belly. Many people are very thin, their skin is gray and dark, and their true colors are covered by a lot of dirt. They are almost not wearing pants, they are only wrapped in a torn leather robe, and the legs and feet that step forward are very close, which looks shocking.

The second group is the elderly, they are equally thin, and the overall situation looks worse than women. Many people are gasping for breath, and the long journey is a challenge for them. When they arrive at the city of Panshi, they finally get the rest order. They sit in the mud regardless of it, their eyes are dull and breathe.

There are too many children, and it is estimated that they are at least more than 3,000. They did not form a team alone and followed their relatives. Many women covered their children with their thin leather robes. This scene looked funny, and the black and dirty leather robes suddenly became extremely wide, covering two pairs of uneven feet, either walking or stopping. On the surface, it seemed that they were wrapped in a piece of clothing to keep warm, but in fact, it was to hide the children so that the big people standing on the city wall could only see adults.

Children are worthless. Whether they exchange populations during food shortages or farming labor, they are far less effective than adults. They are in the developmental stage of life and eat more than adults.

Tianfeng stood on Tianhao's left and couldn't help but open his mouth wide. He rubbed his hands hard, and shock and doubt appeared deep in his eyes. He said to himself in disbelief: "How could this happen? How did it become like this? It was clearly stated that it was a population replacement... Why were all women and children sent?"

Carrying a huge steel axe with an amazing size at any time has become the most eye-catching target of Tian Kuang. He has been following Tian Hao, staring at the people outside the city with angry eyes, and spat on the ground with thick phlegm: "Three, are we fooled by others as suckers?"

As he said that, Tian Kuang turned his head, subconsciously looked at the direction where Wu Peng was in the distance, and asked in a low voice: "Isn't the great master lying to you, right? People from the Fierce Bull tribe do this, it is obvious that they want to take advantage of us."

Tianhao's face was calm.

He was very patient and watched the fierce bull division commander who was the leader outside the city lead the guards into the city gate. He estimated the speed and time of the other party's movement. After more than ten minutes, he turned around and walked towards the location where the national master Wu Peng was.

Time was very accurate. A strong man in a fur coat just walked up the steps to the city wall and saluted Wu Peng.

Wu Peng's face looked a little ugly, but he maintained the proper etiquette. Seeing Tianhao walking towards him from afar, the old man's face had a complicated expression, and seemed a little undecided.

"Great National Master." As he approached, Tianhao bowed seriously.

Wu Pengliuo nodded, laughed "hehe", raised his hand and pointed at the middle-aged man standing on the side: "Let me introduce it. This is Yu Zheng, the commander of the fierce bull team."

Yu Zheng is good-looking, and according to the barbarians, he is a handsome man. He laughed loudly, stood between Wu Peng and Tianhao, and his expression and attitude continued to change with his eyes. He always maintained respect and flattery for the former, and for the latter, the word "arrogance" emerged from his bones at any time, as if it was solidified on his face and a common part of his muscles and skin.

"I have met the city lord." Although it was a respectful word, it was mixed with unconcealed sarcasm: "We the king attached great importance to this population replacement and I was solely responsible. If there is no problem, we can do human seizure now."

Tianhao did not answer immediately.

He turned his head and turned his inquiring eyes to Wu Peng. At such a close distance, he clearly saw Wu Peng frowning, his forehead was covered with wrinkles, his hands were held in front of him and his muscles were slowly sucking, which showed that the great master was gritting his teeth hard, and the anger that was deliberately suppressed should surge deep in his heart.

He was silent and didn't say anything.

Tianhao turned his gaze away from the old face and stared at Yu Zheng standing opposite him: "No problem, as long as you count the quantity, you can hand over at any time."

He immediately issued a clear voice: "How many people are you going to exchange for?"

A hint of greed appeared in Yu Zheng's eyes.

The city wall is very high, and you can see a very far place in the city standing here. On a construction site a hundred meters away, many men and women were building houses. They were very strong and were wearing used cotton clothes. Whether they were compacting the foundation or carrying building materials, they were very fast and no one was lazy.

These people have good physical fitness, are strong farmers, and are also excellent soldiers.

"The King of the Fierce Cattle brought me his congratulations. The City Lord's victory this time has outstanding military achievements and is worthy of being the leader of the younger generation of my bull tribe. As a gift, the King brought me a thousand slaves."

Yu Zheng is very good at speaking. These thousand slaves who serve as gifts are strong and are not comparable to those old and weak outside the city. In the barbarian dictionary, "slaves" specifically refer to independent populations that have lost their means of production and their families. Most of them are prisoners of war, and part of them are caused by debt.

"I brought 36,672 people this time." Yu Zheng smiled and his tone became more respectful than before, at least not as arrogant as before: "The exchange method is of course one-on-one, one pig man, and another cattle man."

There was no smile on Tian Hao Ningding's face: "Is there any exchange of documents?"

Yu Zheng nodded hurriedly: "Yes, of course there are."

As he said that, he lifted up the hem of his clothes and took out two tightly wrapped animal skin rolls.

Tianhao took the animal skin roll handed over by the other party and was not in a hurry to untie the tether. He played with the animal skin roll with Yu Zheng's body temperature, and still turned his inquiring eyes to Wu Peng as he did just now. The latter still said nothing, and expressed his attitude of being out of the matter with his actions and silence.

Tianhao withdrew his gaze, looked directly at Yu Zheng, raised the two rolls of animal skins held in his hand, and asked playfully: "Why are there two documents?"

"When writing the first document, the king made the number wrong, so he added another one later." Yu Zheng replied with a smile, with a straight and clear style.

Tianhao didn't seem to plan to delve into this matter. He pinched a crisp snap of his fingers, followed the two priests around him and hurried forward. Tianhao handed them the two documents to them and said seriously: "According to the rules, check the seal first, and then check the content."

Priests who worship gods will never lie. Therefore, whenever important matters occur, there must be priests or wizards who prove their noble character in the name of gods, ensure a neutral and fair identity, and are recognized as judges by all barbarians.

Yu Zheng's face changed slightly. He subconsciously tapped his right hand and quickly retracted it. His palm was lowered and he held it tightly in a position that everyone could not see in their sight.

"This volume of documents is stamped with a fire lacquer seal, which is the real seal of the King of Fierce Bulls."

"This volume of documents has no seal, only a seal."

Faced with such test results, Tianhao did not mention a word. He nodded: "Open them all, read the content."

"Wait!" Yu Zheng quickly walked to Tianhao and hurriedly stopped the two priests who were ready to read in public. He approached Tianhao, his voice was low, revealing a deeper flattering expression than before: "Sir, it's just a population replacement agreement, there is no need to be so grand, right?"

Tian Hao looked at Yu Zheng for a long time, and a different sense appeared in his pure eyes. He was as hard as crystal and as cold as ice. His handsome face became afraid to look directly under these two special temperaments, and exuded a natural strong majesty.

He suddenly laughed, his evil expression was like the fangs in a wild animal's mouth, sharp and bloodthirsty: "Why not? More than 36,000 people, this is not a small number."

Yu Zheng opened his mouth, his heart was still full of thoughts that he had to stop him, but he could not find any words suitable for the current occasion.

The two priests had good arithmetics. The numbers on the two animal skin documents were added together and the verification result was quickly obtained.

"The evil bull tribe asked Panshi City to change the population, with 36,672 people."

Yu Zheng's expression became obviously unnatural, and even a cold hatred flashed in his eyes.

Tianhao didn't care about this. He stared at the ten thousand-person head-level commander of the fierce bull department standing opposite, and issued an order in a majestic tone: "Count the people outside the city."

Tian Kuang and others, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately turned around and left. A few minutes later, dozens of teams of members of the Panshi City Team who had been prepared entered the immigration brigade outside the city and counted them in sequence.

The counting work lasted for two hours. When Tian Kuang summarized the data of each team, added the accumulated results to obtain, and sent it to Tian Hao, Yu Zheng seemed very impatient. He walked around anxiously, but it was captured that this was Panshi City, with guards around him, and had to suppress his resentment and said nothing.

Tianhao looked at the numbers written on the paper by Tiankuang and couldn't help but laugh.

"Tener than eighteen thousand and four people." He raised the paper in his hand, calming his forehead with a sarcastic tone, which was the prelude to the storm being brewed: "Dear Commander Yu Zheng, this number is too much different, right?"

As he said that, he threw two animal skin documents at Yu Zheng's feet and made a cold voice: "The document that stamped the seal of your patriarch is indeed 18,004 people. What's going on?"

Yu Zheng was silent for a few seconds, his fierce and angry eyes kept flashing in his eyes, and there was no respect on his face. Arrogance and annoyance were constantly released from his body: "There are so many exchange numbers that the king told me. Ask me, how do I know?"

He paused: "Of course, when you walk from Eviljiao City to Panshi City, there will always be a few people who will die in such a cold weather. Anyway, I have already brought my words, and you have checked the documents, so I won't forget it. The total number is 36,000. You can hand me the person as soon as possible, and this matter will be over."

The great master Wu Peng had not spoken yet. Now he simply turned around and turned his back to Tianhao. Looking at the dense crowds outside the city, he didn't know what to think.

Tian Hao stared at Yu Zheng's face full of anger and smiled coldly: "I have no interest in what happened to your ferocious bull tribe. But your king is too stupid. He was actually played with by a bastard like you... Forget it, this is not the point. I ask you, why are all the people used for replacement this time old, weak, sick and disabled? Why don't there even be a strong man?"

"This is the arrangement of the king." Yu Zheng's eyes were too long, but he spoke very confidently. He did not hide his ridicule: "If it weren't for the order of Your Majesty, would you think we would be willing to change so many pigs? They eat too much and are difficult to support them. Because they have some strength and can still use it, they will be reluctant to help them change some. This is already very favorable. Don't think that calling "City Lord" will have to curry favor with you, and you still cannot achieve the qualification to become a noble."

Tianhao fell into silence.

He didn't know what happened within the Niu tribe during the time he led his army out to fight. But judging from the attitudes of Liao Qiu and Zong Gu, they should have known nothing like him. The attitude of the great master was very strange. Logically speaking, he should be his supporter, but he came to Panshi City in advance. Before that, he did not mention any questions about the possible population replacement of the ferocious bull tribe.

Moreover, judging by Wu Peng's current attitude, he clearly doesn't want to interfere.

After a long time, Tianhao made a cold voice: "Take your people away, I won't change them."

"This is impossible." Yu Zheng spoke a little slower than before, not because of fear, but because he had to use this method to make Tianhao hear it more clearly: "I have brought people, so I must bring enough pig people back."

Tian Hao stared at Yu Zheng's eyes, his eyes full of questions: "Is this what your king said?"

He is just a mere commander, and if he does not receive the instructions of a higher-level superior, he will not dare to do this anyway.

This is Yu Zheng's biggest trump card. Although Tianhao was surprised to tell him in person, he had no intention of giving in. He nodded, his fierce eyes were full of threats, and he was even a little proud: "You are right."

Tianhao's eyes quickly gathered the murderous intention of killing: "It's okay to change it, but it has to follow my standards."

"Your standard?" Yu Zheng grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, contemptuous and satisfied.
