Chapter 365: Alliance Investigation Team (Please vote and subscribe)
The investigation team of the two northern tribal alliances arrived at Hanyang City at around noon. The two surveying team members who led the way used the flying eagle to send a letter when they just entered the valley entrance on the north side of Hanyang City, notifying the people in the city that they were back. The elders and rat witches who stayed in the city also prepared for the reception work as soon as possible, and passed the news to Luo Chong in the new city.
The investigation team had a total of 37 people. The two alliances each sent more than a dozen senior officials, all of whom were leaders of some small tribes that made up the alliance. Compared with the personnel, they brought more livestock, all of which were donkeys with blue-gray fur. These were all highland wild donkeys that they had domesticated. They could not only ride them, but also carry some things. For example, this time, the donkeys carried a lot of inheritance slates with mythological stories painted on them.
These slabs were not very big, each one was about the size of a large wok, with a diameter of about 40 centimeters. The stone looked like a flat sheet of natural crystals, each about two fingers thick, not polished by humans. The surface showed a yellow and orange texture, with patterns painted with unknown pigments, which had turned dark brown due to age.
Each slab weighed about 50 kilograms, and a donkey carried two slabs. There were more than a dozen donkeys just to transport these slabs, and some were used for riding or carrying some food.
When they came to the outside of Hanyang City from a distance, the scene in front of them stunned them immediately. The blue brick city, which was actually less than eight meters high, looked extremely majestic in their eyes, and it brought them a great impact at this time.
The neat bricks and stones, like scales, were piled up layer by layer. This really seemed like something that only gods could create. They thought to themselves, how could mortals have such ability? The moment they saw this blue brick city, they had already believed most of what Youye said.
Going closer, on the grassland outside the west gate, a group of half-grown children were grazing white-haired sheep, while more children were playing in a rectangular area surrounded by fences. They automatically divided into several teams and chased several leather balls at the same time. Many children did not have the opportunity to play and could only gather outside the field to watch, shouting loudly at the field from time to time, but they all watched with relish, and none of them were impatient.
Going around the football field where the children gathered, the moat appeared in front of them. The sparkling water looked very clear, and the bottom of the water could be seen at a glance. The depth of the river, coupled with the height of the city wall, even those man-eating giant apes would be helpless, they thought.
"Welcome to Hanyang City, friends from afar." On the suspension bridge, two old men in white robes holding wooden sticks greeted them.
"This is the elder and witch of our tribe, they are welcoming you." The two members of the surveying team who led the way acted as temporary translators for them.
When everyone heard that they were the witch and elders of the Han tribe, although they didn't understand why the Han tribe had these two positions at the same time, no matter which one, they were all people worthy of respect. They were all wise men of the tribe, people who were dedicated to accumulating and spreading knowledge for future generations. Using such people to welcome them was enough to show that the Han tribe valued them.
The two sides exchanged greetings and soon entered the inner city. Compared with the tall city walls outside, the scene inside the inner city was even more amazing.
Large and small vehicles were pulling bricks and thick wooden boards, and some were pulling white soil that they didn't recognize, all walking from the outside to the center of the city.
The wide street was very flat, paved with large blue bricks of the same material as the city wall. There was a blue brick with a hole every few bricks in the middle, and there was faint water flowing underneath. It was actually empty? !
The neat houses on both sides of the street were also very attractive. From time to time, people walked in and out of the courtyards. A lot of green smoke slowly rose from the chimneys on the roofs. The unique smell of burning firewood was mixed with a fragrance that they couldn't call out. Although they had never seen it, they knew that it must be a very delicious food.
The group was led through the outer city area and came to the streets of the central city area. Those large and small vehicles were gathering here. Two three-story tube buildings with large windows suddenly appeared in front of them. They could clearly see the figures of people who were doing decoration in the buildings on the street.
Just opposite these two buildings, the same buildings were also under construction. Countless figures were busy on the scaffolding, some moving bricks, and some delivering mud. This scene immediately shocked the observation team. These buildings were actually built by manpower! Then, the city walls and these houses outside also made
them feel a little overwhelmed. Could it be that the leader of the Han tribe was really the legendary god, and he taught his people how to resist the giant ape? ! So what are these buildings taller than the city walls used for? They thought so.
"Everyone, it's time to eat. The Han tribe has prepared temporary residences for you, as well as sufficient food. The leader has gone to the new city and will not be back until tomorrow. During this time, you can visit various places in the Han tribe." The elder took them to the door of several houses that had been prepared in advance and said.
Looking back at the members of the inspection team, on their faces of shock and admiration, there was another expression at this time, that is, expectation.
"This elder, when will the leader you mentioned come tomorrow? Also, does your leader really have that kind of long-nosed giant beast as a mount?" A man who looked to be middle-aged asked, and the team member who led the way beside him also hurriedly translated for them.
"Haha, of course there is a long-nosed beast like the one you mentioned. The leader will ride it when he comes back tomorrow. He will set out at dawn and arrive at Hanyang City in the afternoon or evening. The speed is still very fast." The Rat Witch also smiled and answered their questions. Seeing the surprise and admiration of this group of strangers for Hanyang City, he was very happy and satisfied, and also very proud. He was the second person to join the Han Tribe besides the Tree Tribe. It can be said that he has witnessed every step of the growth of the Han Tribe. This alone is enough to make him brag about it until he is in the coffin.
"Then can we see your food? What do you usually eat when so many people gather together? And how do you get food? Can you show us?" Another older man raised the question that everyone was most concerned about.
"Don't worry about this. The answer to food has been placed on the dining table in the house. You will naturally know the answer after you finish eating. Of course, I will come to take you to visit the Han Tribe in the afternoon, and I will also show you the source of food at that time." The elder answered again.
When a group of people heard that the answer was food, they couldn't help but become curious and turned into the room to explore the answer.
