"No... nothing!" Zhang Cheng figured out Jiang Kao's identity. He initially wanted to test it, but then he realized that it was meaningless to test it now. Now he made it clear that there was no other use except to increase the gap between the two people. Since that is the case, it would be better to pretend not to know anything. Moreover, Jiang Kao is a useful line. If wars need to be warned in the future, it would be more credible and simpler to make Jiang Kao appear. Zhang Cheng always felt that the persuasiveness of Doctor Kunwu's letter was not enough. After all, Doctor Kunwu is just a doctor now.

His eyes turned to these Huaiyi slaves. The lizardman was looking at him with horror. The relationship between humans and lizardman was not good. In fact, humans and surrounding alien races had bad relationships, so it is easy for you to understand this kind of panic. In their opinion, falling into Zhu Xia's hands is a worse fate than falling into the hands of other alien races.

"Where do these slaves come from?" Zhang Cheng asked the slave merchant who came up beside him. As mentioned earlier, because these are unsold goods, the slave merchant had been waiting by the side when he saw Zhang Cheng appearing, as a potential customer.

"Shuyong comes." The slave merchant is also a Huaiyi. However, merchants are merchants. Even if they are different in races, some characteristics are very similar. At least when facing customers, racial conflicts do not exist - no one has a grudge against money, right? "Customer, don't worry, Shuyong has changed in the country, so it's sold here."

"Shu Yong?" The name seems to be a little familiar. Zhang Cheng's eyes turned to Jiang Kao beside him. "Does Brother Jiang Kao know?"

"One of the vassals of Xu State." Jiang Kao knew about this country. "I heard that there have been many warriors. Unfortunately..."

"What a pity?"

Jiang Kao pulled Zhang Cheng aside and whispered. "I heard that the internal political situation of Dongyi is very unstable, not only overall unstable, but also caused repeated changes in a country." He obviously knew a lot about these aliens. "Several years ago, I heard that you, Shu Yong, had undergone major changes. It should be... Uncle Wang killed the monarch."

In other words, brothers fight for the position of monarch... Although this seems normal to modern earthlings, because "the emperor is the strong and powerful." But in the moral system of this world, this is a huge problem. For example, the Zhou emperor is in trouble now. Although the princes may have their own small calculations, overall, they still support the Zhou family unconditionally and fulfill their obligations as vassals. Similarly, when Shu Yong had a regicide incident, the Xu Kingdom, as the superior, would never ignore it. The slave society was maintained by this moral system.

"Xu Guo doesn't care about this kind of thing?" Zhang Cheng asked curiously. "Is this a completely unethical thing?"

"The people of the Dongyi people are all forgetful and righteousness when they see profit." Jiang Kao is very knowledgeable in this regard. "My brother, I just said that Shu Yong has many warriors, which has always made Xu Guo afraid. Now Shu Yong is in a civil turmoil, and Xu Guo is not happy yet, so how can he stop it?"

"Is this... considered self-destructing the Great Wall?"

"Xu State is weaker and weaker, and Huai Yi is weaker, and it has begun to fear the other nine Yi. But the more you are afraid, the more the others are more disinterested." Jiang Kao snorted disdainfully. However, Zhang Cheng knew that Zhou Shi was also facing the same fate. Or the development of this world is like this. With the development of society, the initial state form was no longer suitable for the current situation. The situation of strong ministers and weak ministers have generally appeared. "It is not just Shu Yong, but Qunshu land. Xu State should be sitting there and watching, and even secretly encouraging other countries to turmoil. Of course, this is a good thing for us. Otherwise, Zhu Xia would suffer a great loss in this Quanrong Rebellion. He may even permanently lose the land in the East."

Due to fierce internal struggles, Dongyi, who was once several times stronger than humans, is now on par with humans. So the files of the Nine Yis are really too important... In other words, have I changed the game timeline forever?

If we follow the game timeline, then this time of attack on Yingqiu may be the last failure of Dongyi. Although the future is not clearly stated in the game, the most likely result should be that after this failure, the Dongyi tribes decided to repair the files of the Nine Yis. On the contrary, the days ahead for humans may not be difficult.

Wait, according to the historical development of the earth, in the next Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period (actually, there is no need to wait for the Warring States Period, but it is directly in the Spring and Autumn Period), China will expand and conquer neighboring countries including the Dongyi. One of the Dongyi, the south barbarian, the West Rong and the North Di, is cleaned up all...

It feels a bit confusing. Did my appearance change the trend of history? Or did it follow the trend of history?

The slave merchants were always eyeing each other. When Jiang Kao saw Zhang Cheng still thinking about it over and over again, he asked nonsense. "What are these Huaiyi origins? I don't think they are common people."

"Ha, guest, you've seen it right!" The slave merchant immediately beat the snake and rod on the stick. "These are not ordinary people. They were originally the families of scholars. Unfortunately, the country has changed, so things are hard to say. Even the families of warriors of hundreds of wars will fall to this position."

"Warriors of Hundred Battles?" Jiang Kao was a little curious.

"Guest, these are all members of the Yan clan!" The slave merchant also sighed for it. Of course, his sigh would not affect business at all. "The Yan clan is Shu Yong's national surname." In other words, these people are actually branches of the royal clan. Even though their relationship with the royal clan was already very far away at this time, their surname proved everything. "But two consecutive changes have led to a large number of nobles with the Yan clan becoming slaves."

"Has Shu Yong's civil strife reached this point?" Even Jiang Kao had to express his surprise. Although the situation on the human side was not much better - Shen Hou colluded with Quanrong and killed the Emperor of Zhou - at least not a large number of Ji surnames had become slaves.

"So you see, even if it's the elderly, weak, women and children, there may be some special knowledge and skills hidden in them."

"Yan... surnamed? Shu Yong?" Zhang Cheng's mind flashed around him, and he finally figured out why this strange word sounded a bit familiar. Didn't this what Yan Bi said? What's going on? They are members of Yan Bi's tribe?

"Wait, I'll ask a question," Zhang Cheng suddenly said. "I heard that there are warriors in Dongyi, known as the "Century of the Century" and the name is Yanbi. Have you heard of it?"

"Of course," the slave merchant replied. He pointed to the slaves quietly. "It is said that these are the tribe members of Yanbi. But you can't expect to buy warriors like Yanbi in Guicheng."

Zhang Cheng's heart moved, "I heard that Yan Bi is missing?"

"It's true, you are really well-informed by the guest." The slave merchant said. "Look at their appearance, they were doing well before. Because Yan Bi is there. But now that Yan Bi is missing," he quoted the term "missing" used by Zhang Cheng, but from his tone, he knew that he did not agree with this conclusion. In this era - not just in this era - missing actually means the same as death, but it is nothing more tactful. "They have lost all their value and can only sell it. Not only that, it is not easy to sell in China, so they can only be sold here."

He had noticed that Zhang Cheng had some intentions, obviously he had the intention to buy this batch of slaves. In fact, it was not just him, but even those slaves noticed it. The lizardmen had already started to cry. They knew very well what the consequences would be if they were young and middle-aged people. It would be fine if they were young and middle-aged, at least they could work in mines or farmlands. But he was a slave with a noble status but not much practical value, and his only use was self-evident.

As we all know, the greatest use of prisoners with noble identities is sacrifice. The gods like this kind of sacrifice with noble identities the most.

"How many of them have?" Zhang Cheng asked.

"A ******* resident dealer's eyes turned. "I will give you a discount on the price of 64 people, and I will give you a thirty-three friends," he said.

"I don't have that much money in my hand, I'll come back tomorrow." Zhang Cheng said.

His decisive expression was not like a bargaining trick, but a real money-making process. The slave merchant also had a little regret, but he had no choice.

"There are indeed slaves from Zhuxia." Jiang Kao said. They came for this. "It's a pity..." His words stayed halfway. But the implication was obvious. These human slaves were in the hands of foreign races, and obviously did not have the chance to return to the human kingdom. Therefore, humans, especially Yingqiu, have never known the situation of returning to the city.

Of course it doesn't matter now. Anyway, as long as he goes back, Yingqiu will probably know. The next caravan (if there is one), there will never be a few kittens or two, but a team with sufficient self-defense ability. Of course, the premise is that the war will end and the Dongyi will not make great efforts to chase and kill.

They went to the temple again at dusk. This time they didn't come to visit Donghaijun, but Jiang Kao paid for a long banner - it was called a long banner, but in fact, from Zhang Cheng's perspective, it was a banner, but the banner was very long. And there was a reason for this special length, because there was a long dragon on the flag. A golden dragon that was almost no different from the modern image on the earth. It was covered with golden scales and flying teeth and claws, and a flame bead was spit out from its mouth.

"Brother, I think it's better to go back early." On the way back, Jiang Kao suddenly said goodbye to Zhang Cheng. As mentioned earlier, Zhang Cheng wanted to stay here for a while, while Jiang Kao was anxious to return to Yingqiu. "Why don't we leave tonight?"

"Ah, that..." Zhang Chuang came to show that it was too late to leave, but when he saw Jiang Kao's expression, he knew that the other party was anxious, so he stopped persuading him. "Then I'll take Brother Jiang Kao back to the boat."

The two returned along the road they entered the city. Donghaijun was obviously determined to build the city into a commercial city, so there was no such thing as closing the door at night. The fish soldiers standing guard at the door were rotated, because when Zhang Cheng left the city, he saw another team of soldiers replacing the soldiers who had changed their guards.

"Hey, be careful when you go out at night." Perhaps because Zhang Cheng was following a group of compatriots, the leading fish soldier actually reminded Zhang Cheng and these people. "Outside the city is not within our responsibility." Jiang Kao took out his long banner and signaled to the other party. But the other party said another sentence.

"We will not be rude to Donghaijun's long banner, but other races cannot guarantee it. I know it's a bit uneasy outside." He suggested. "It's better to leave after dawn tomorrow morning."

"Well, how do you know that you are not very stable?" Zhang Cheng asked with interest.

"Oh, I have a brother who has been looking for food outside the city these days." The soldier said. "It is said that he often gains something. He wants me to go together! Unfortunately, I have to work on duty and I really have no time."

Zhang Cheng and Jiang Kao looked at each other. The fishman would not be rude to Donghaijun's long banner, so what they ate was a corpse? In other words, there was chaos outside the city? And it had nothing to do with the fishman and was a conflict between other races.

The risk of taking action in the city is too high, so they choose to resolve their internal disputes outside the city?

"It should be fine." Jiang Kao was a little skeptical. First of all, their ship was not far away. Secondly, it was very smooth when they came over. Finally, it was not all dark now. On their side, in addition to Jiang Hei beside him, there were Zhang Cheng and Hu Chen, and there was a whole team of Lai Yi behind them.

After they left the city, they had not walked too far, but they had already seen the common mangroves on the beach ahead. As long as they passed this forest, the beach where they stopped their boats. I don’t know what the situation there, whether it was a high tide or a low tide, and whether the boat would be stranded, but with so many fishmen helping him, Jiang Kao was confident of solving this small problem.

The early spring night came much faster than expected, but it was getting darker and darker at this time. Although it was not enough to say that you could not see your fingers, Jiang Kao decided to make some lighting. Jiang Hei took out a crystal lamp from his body - this was bought in Guicheng. It should be the crystal collected in the sea, and it was constant with the light technique. Just turn the base and the crystal began to shine. It is quite ingenious.

Just as Jiang Hei raised the lamp and led the way forward, a gust of wind suddenly sounded in the darkness. A heavy gun was thrown towards him, hitting Jiang Hei.

Jiang Hei screamed and fell backwards. A heavy sound of hooves came from the darkness, and then a huge figure rushed out of the darkness and rushed straight into Jiang Kao with his spear. "Die!" a voice shouted.

Everything happened so suddenly that the fishman behind didn't have time to react.

Jiang Kao screamed, but he was a warrior at least about level 5. He turned sideways and avoided the last moment he stabbed the spear.

The crystal lamp thrown on the ground illuminated the attacker: it was a centaur, or according to the name of this world, 六后.

The lord turned his hand and stabbed again, but at this time, Hu Chen had already snatched up. The blue flames rose up, and a metal shield had appeared in his hand. The Rakshasa demon used his shield to block the full-strength attack of the centaur. The centaur was strong enough that this attack actually broke through the Rakshasa demon's natural protection. The spear stabbed the shield and made a sound of metallic attack.
