To Qiucheng, the city lord's mansion.

The city lord Chao Wen felt his eyelids twitching early this morning. He always felt that something big was going to happen, but after thinking about it, he couldn't figure out what would happen. However, as the lord of a city, Chao Wen still looked calm as usual, and even walked around the garden to see the precious flowers and trees that the slaves carefully took care of.

The leisurely fragrance emitted by the precious flowers and trees in the garden plays a role in calming the mind, so Chaowen likes to think about things in the garden.

When he smelled the familiar fragrance, Chaowen's irritability and anxiety faded a lot, but he didn't dare to be careless. He was naturally capable of becoming the lord of Chaoqiu City and making Chaoqiu City stable until now. He believed in his intuition.

What exactly is going on?

Chao Wen lowered his head slightly and looked at the clump of green plants in front of him.

Just as I was thinking, a cry suddenly came.

"Not good! No, Father!"

A young man in beautiful clothes rushed over panting.

Chao Wen frowned. He always taught his children not to be surprised when they are in a state of change and to be calm in everything. His children are doing well on weekdays. Why are they so impulsive today?

"Why are you so panicked?!" Chao Wen's voice was not loud, but his tone was stern, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with the person who came.

The one who rushed over was Chaowen's eldest son Chaochuan, who was the most likely to inherit the position of the city lord in the future. Chaochuan also tried his best to show his affection in front of his father and learned his father's posture by four or five points. But today I was so shocked. I used to be calm and calm, but at least I was beaten back to my senses by Chaowen's tone.

After pausing, taking a deep breath, Chaochuan said quickly, "The whistle guard has heard news, someone is coming!"

Since the turbulent situation, Chao Wen sent a group of sentry guards to stare at the movements around Chaoqiu City, and quickly informed them if there was any abnormal movement. Some things happened during this period, but they were just some minor troubles.

After hearing what Chaochuan said, Chao Wen's eyebrows trembled. Could this be the reason why he was uneasy in the morning?

"Who is coming?" Chao Wen asked.

"No...I don't know."

Seeing Chao Wen's eyebrows tightened again, Chaochuan hurriedly continued, "Although I don't know who they are, the guard said, maybe... it might be... it was from there!" He pointed to a direction, which was the direction of the sea.

"Come here?" Chao Wenqi said, "Is he a tribal person the same as the Changzhou tribe?"

The Changzhou tribe would come to Chaoqiucheng from time to time to time to trade. Chaowen knew this, but so far, what he knew was the special case of the Changzhou tribe. He heard that the tribes on the sea were very weak, and the Changzhou tribe was the strongest tribe there.

The Changzhou Tribe’s strongest theory is that it is actually a self-proclaimed person when he came here. In addition, for a long time, only the Changzhou Tribe often traveled between two continents, so many people gradually believed it.

Chao Wen also knew that due to the influence of war and situation, and the construction of cities in many places began to be built, slave owners and nobles bought slaves in large quantities. Some small and medium-sized tribes that originally lived in the inland were forced to flee to the deep mountains and forests, which were difficult to find, and it became more difficult to catch slaves. Therefore, many slave trade organizations extended their hands to another continent, such as the largest slave organization "Bi".

This also made Chao Wen always believe that the tribes over the sea were all a group of people who were about to become slaves, and there was no need to worry about it. When the navigation technology matured and the contacts became more stable, Chao Wen also wanted to reach out to work. The people there were captured as slaves, and the gems, salt mines and other gems there were taken for themselves.

However, now there are people other than the Changzhou Tribe coming here?

Why not just capture it as a slave?

"How many people are there?" Chao Wen asked thinking.

"Four...Four and five thousand." Chaochuan stuttered.

"How many?" Chao Wen raised his voice and asked word by word as if he couldn't believe it, "Four or five thousand?!"

Chaochuan nodded vigorously, "The sentry said...they said...all the words were very strong, not like migration, but more like...the actions with purpose."

Chao Wen opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but suddenly it seemed to be stuck, and his face changed rapidly.

This number is indeed a big number in the current environment.

Four or five thousand people were not fleeing and migrating, and they were generally strong. When they saw this, Chao Wen came to a conclusion that Tama wanted to attack the city!

Thinking of this, Chaowen couldn't calm down anymore. He reached out and pushed Chaochuan away in front of him, and ran out of the garden like a wind.

In Chaoqiu City, the trading teams that came from afar were busy. They had long been familiar with the trading methods here. Whether it was a street full of shops or a free trading area marked by the city lord, they could walk over with their eyes closed. They were very familiar with what activities were available at any time of day and wherever they could hear gossip.

But today, something happened.

The golden gate of the city lord's mansion opened with a crackling sound. A hundred-man cavalry rushed out, and the people in front waved with long-handled weapons without mercy, shouting, expelling those blocking the way.

People who reacted quickly in the city had already retreated to both sides when they saw that the situation was not good.

"What's wrong?"

"That's the city lord's personal guard! The people from the Chao family!"

"Look at the two in the middle of the team!"

"That's the city lord?"

Among the teams that came out of the city lord's mansion, there were obviously two people dressed differently from others, and they were more refined and refined. That was Chaowen and Chaochuan. On weekdays, Chaowen always took a car when he went out, but now he was in a hurry and rode his horse directly.

"They went to the city gate!"

"What are you doing when the city lord rushed to the city gate in such a hurry?"

Looking at the team of people passing by in a hurry, those with some eyes knew that something was going to happen.

Something happened!

After rushing to the city gate, Chaowen climbed up the city tower and looked into the distance, and his heart suddenly became tight. Although only some small black dots were seen in the distance, you can tell that what Chaochuan said was not false. There were some suspicious figures in the air.

"Close the city gate!" After Zhao Wen shouted, he asked the archer to prepare. The figures in the air were not ordinary birds.

Rumble

The heavy city gate was closed.

There was also a long-distance team outside the city. Before they could enter the city, they were blocked outside. No matter how they shouted, asked, or bribed them, the city gate just didn't move. The city lord guarded himself, who dared to open it?

Not only the people outside the city, but also the people inside the city were confused. The teams that originally wanted to leave the city were stopped.

The onlookers also leaned towards the city gate. If there weren't people from Chao's family blocking them, they might have just gathered in front of the city gate to find out.

"Why are the city gates closed in broad daylight?" Some people were dissatisfied.

"That's right, even if something happens, we must know." Only when we know can we run away! Everyone thought to themselves.

"It seems not very good. Should we find a way to leave first?"

"Take it out? At this time, it is strictly guarded everywhere."

"You can hide it first."

"Don't guess, let's take a look first."

However, these dissatisfactions and discussions stopped the next moment.

"Aowu"

A wolf howl came from a distance.

The crowd calmed down, and then there was even greater discussion.

"Wolf! It's a wolf!"

"I don't think I'm an ordinary wolf, I can hear it!"

"We also heard howls of wolves when we were traveling far away, but how does this sound feel..." The person who spoke trembled.

"Feither beast!" A slightly older traveler affirmed. Their team came from the deep mountains and knew the difference between the roars of the wild beasts in the mountains and forests. And the sound just now, only the ferocious beasts could make people's body look like they were tense.

"南"

At a high altitude, several eagles flew past and circled above the city of Qiu.

"It's too high, it's not easy to shoot." said an experienced archer. Even if he can shoot, his strength is enough, but because the distance is too far, the opponent may have already flew away when he shoots. You can tell from their reaction ability that it is not a bird that can easily shoot.

"That... is also a ferocious beast!"

"What's going on? What happened? Could it be that someone sieges the city?"

Everyone had speculations in the crowd, and their thinking was like wild horses running everywhere.

At this time, Chao Wen, who was standing on the city tower, frowned so hard that he could break the branches and stared at the front.

Chaochuan had already received orders to mobilize personnel, while Chaowen looked at the team getting closer and closer, guessing the other party's identity and what to do next.

Among the nearby teams, there were three large flags, two of which Chao Wen Zhi, one was the totem flag of the Changzhou tribe, and the other made Chao Wen feel bitter.

"Yankang Man!"

The reason why I knew Yanjiao's totem was that when the royal city was going to chase Yanjiao's migration team, I drew Yanjiao's totem on the order I issued. Later, Chao Wen also learned about Yanjiao.

When the royal city team asked them to send reinforcements, Chao Wen deliberately delayed the time. It was not that he wanted to help Yanjiao, but that he didn't like to spend his own troops. If the royal city wanted to fight, let them fight. As long as they did the Chaoqiucheng, they just wanted to do it.

However, Chao Wen didn't expect that at this time, he would see the totem flag of Yanjiao again. It was indeed coming from the sea!

However, except for the totem flag of Yanjiao and Changzhou, the third big flag is very strange. There is a strange figure on the flag, like a insect and snake. I have never seen it before, and I don’t know which tribe it belongs to.

No matter what, Chao Wen was thinking about two big words at this time!

As for the flag that Chaowen felt unfamiliar, it was actually not the totem flag of a certain tribe, it was a new flag. To say it was "new" does not mean that the material was new, but that it was not long after it was born.

Before the Yanjiao team set off, when the tribes that received the news in the Yanhe River Basin arrived at the trading area, when the tribes were preparing the totem flag, Shao Xuan proposed to make a flag belonging to the Yanhe River Basin Tribal Alliance.

As for the pattern on the flag, because the major alliance is not an alliance of a certain tribe, there are many, and there will be more in the future. It is impossible to use the totem of a certain tribe. Even if it is a flame horn, the double-horned totem will attract strong opposition from various tribes. When it comes to matters involving totems, the tribes are very stubborn and tough, and they will not agree if they kill them. Therefore, Shao Xuan used a familiar pattern dragon that others have never seen before.

The shape of the dragon is drawn with the rough shape of Duan Yanhe, which Shao Xuan is familiar with.

Yanjiao people did not object to Shao Xuan's decision, and they also thought that Shao Xuan's suggestion was very good. Naturally, the other tribes that arrived later had no objections. Since it was based on the shape of Yan River, they certainly agreed. Even when Shao Xuan proposed that the totems belonging to the Yan River Basin Major Alliance would place them on this dragon flag in the future, they wanted to print them immediately. However, time was in a hurry, and they were very cautious and serious about the totems. They would not draw totems on a symbolic banner without any rituals and preparations. So, so to now, there are only the dragons in the shape of Yan River on the Yan River dragon flag. (To be continued.)
