Chapter 412

Tianhai City, located in the coastal area of the east and west of the Great Zhou, is one of the six main cities of the Great Zhou!

The population of Tianhai City is close to more than 20 million, and the area of the city is about the same as that of Yicheng, but here, it is more prosperous than Yicheng!

As the only coastal city in the Great Zhou, Tianhai City has ports to Dachu and Daqin respectively, as well as the Grand Canal along with Ancheng and Dadu, and the commercial atmosphere is extremely prosperous!

But that was just in the past, some time ago, after the invasion of the Sea Clan, Tianhai City entered a state of martial law, although the people of Tianhai City did not know the existence of the Sea Clan, but as Ao Qin expected, some of the Sea Clan's fish that slipped through the net had broken through the defense line of the Zhenhai Navy and entered the surrounding areas of Tianhai Province.

Although the people didn't know the specific situation, they could also sense that something was wrong, especially those big families in Tianhai City, who had already vaguely inquired about the news of the Sea Clan!

This kind of thing of the Sea Clan can be hidden from people in most of the capital or other provinces, but it can't be hidden from the people near Tianhai City.

After all, the Sea Clan often invades the territory of Tianhai Province, and in the coastal areas of Tianhai Province, the legend of the sea monster has always been circulated!

So up to now, the people in Tianhai City are panicked, and it is not much worse than Ancheng where the corpse demon happened at the beginning!

After all, among the people of Tianhai City, things like sea monsters are just legends, but now that they have appeared in front of their eyes, they will naturally be afraid of their safety!

However, Ao Qin, as the city lord of Tianhai City, his return naturally calmed down the hearts of the people of Tianhai City a little!

Ye Bai and the others followed Ao Qin all the way to the City Lord's Mansion, and the appearance of this City Lord's Mansion surprised Ye Bai and the others.

Whether it is Yicheng or Ancheng, the City Lord's Mansion is relatively good, especially the City Lord's Mansion in Yicheng, which looks like a royal palace at first glance, but the City Lord's Mansion in Tianhai City looks very dilapidated!

Yes, it can only be described as tattered, the vermilion gate has some signs of fading, the plaque on the gate has lost its luster, and the threshold on the ground is even missing!

Where is this the city lord's mansion of the main city, it looks more like the mansion of a down-and-out family!

This Tianhai Province is notoriously prosperous, why does this city lord's mansion look so down!

Not only Ye Bai, but even the people of other families who came with them to participate in the assessment, looking at the City Lord's Mansion in front of them, a strange look flashed in their eyes!

You must know that Da Zhou's treatment of the city lord is very good, generally speaking, as long as the lord of a city pays a certain amount of taxes, Da Zhou will not care about any income from the city lord's mansion!

Not only that, Da Zhou will also issue a certain amount of money every year to maintain law and order in the city, that is, as long as it is a normal public facility and supplies needed by the army, Da Zhou will have subsidies.

Generally speaking, even in a small city like Liangcheng, the income of the lord of a city is not lower than that of ordinary families, which is why some helpless grandmasters or great grandmasters will take refuge in Da Zhou!

Because of Da Zhou, there are too many to give!

And all the way they went, what they saw along the way told them that this Tianhai Province was indeed very prosperous, but how could this city lord's mansion be so down!

"Your Excellency, you're finally back!"

Before entering the door, someone in the city lord's mansion hurried over, led by a middle-aged man wearing the silver-white armor of the Great Zhou!

"Ao Bao, what's the situation now!"

Ao Qin was not polite, and while taking Ye Bai and the others into the City Lord's Mansion, he asked the middle-aged man!

"The situation is very bad, my lord, some villages in the coastal area have been invaded by the sea tribe one after another, if I hadn't sent someone to arrange the evacuation, I'm afraid the loss would be very serious!"

"But even so, there are still Sea Clans who continue to enter Tianhai Province, so I'm afraid our city guards won't be able to support it for long!"

Ao Bao opened his mouth and said, he is the commander of the city protection army, and he is also the deputy city lord of Tianhai City, and during the time that Ao Qin left Tianhai City, he has always been dealing with the affairs of Tianhai City!

At the same time, he is also a member of the Ao family, according to his seniority, he should call Ao Qin a cousin!

Ye Bai on the side listened to the conversation between the two and looked sideways slightly!

The city lord and the deputy city lord are all members of the same family, such a situation has never been in the Great Zhou, generally speaking, the Great Zhou for a city is the implementation of civil and military co-governance, the city is in charge of development, the deputy city is in charge of public security, in this way, it can be a good way to avoid the situation of a single family, so as not to appear some corrupt officials or the existence of that kind of country China!

But this Tianhai City is different, the deputy city lord and the city lord of this Tianhai City are both surnamed Ao, that is to say, they are very likely to be members of the same family.

In this way, isn't Da Zhou afraid that this Ao family will set himself up as the king!

"Well done, notify me immediately, let the soldiers hold on a little longer, and soon, reinforcements will arrive in Dadu!"

"What's going on with the town navy?"

Ao Qin took Ye Bai and the others to his reception hall and continued to say to Ao Bao.

"The town navy is quite stable, I don't know why, the attack of the sea clan has slowed down a little in the past two days, so that the soldiers have some time to rest, otherwise, if they continue to fight like before, I'm afraid even the town navy won't be able to support it for long!"

Ao Bao sighed and said the current situation of the town navy!

Ao Qin on the side nodded, and then turned his head to Ye Bai and the others: "You guys, what are your plans now, do you go to the town navy first, or wait for the notice from the academy!"

Everyone looked at Ye Bai and was waiting for his answer.

There are only twenty of them in total, although most of them are carefully selected, but their strength is only at the stage of entering the Grandmaster or Gangqi Grandmaster, and in front of the Great Grandmaster, they have no right to speak at all, even Jiang Chen is the same.

Besides, Zhou Wang Ji Xuanji had already ordered Ye Bai to become his leader, so everything here, they had to listen to Ye Bai's opinion.

Although young people are vigorous, it also depends on who they are right for!

Facing Ye Bai, none of them dared to put on the shelf of a big family or a genius boy.

Because in front of Ye Bai, they are nothing at all!

Ye Bai glanced at everyone, and then said to Ao Qin: "Let's go to the town navy first, as for the assessment of the academy, it's not too late to start after you get to the town navy!"

Ao Qin nodded, and then said, "Okay, since that's the case, I'll have someone take you to the town navy early tomorrow morning!"

"Now you go and rest first, after all, I'm tired after such a long journey, now take a good rest, otherwise when you get to the town navy, I'm afraid there will be no time to rest!"
