Jiang Tian transmigrated to the Great Xia Dynasty and was immediately met with a drought that had lasted for many years. The county magistrate, in order to pray for rain from the Dragon King, prepa...
"My lord, I asked, and it's something called 'fierce fire oil'." Li Guang placed a wooden bucket in front of Jiang Tian.
Jiang Tian pulled out the accessory from his waist and pried open the wooden barrel of flammable oil.
Immediately, a pungent smell of gasoline wafted over.
Jiang Tian could tell at a glance that this was a good thing.
"Huo Qubing, how much flammable oil have you captured?"
"My lord, we have captured several hundred barrels of flammable oil!"
Jiang Tian carried the bucket of flammable oil and poured it on Yuwen Tuo: "Tell me your name."
Yuwen Tuo was completely soaked in the hot oil.
His body was covered in black, flammable oil.
The smell emanating from these burning oils was absolutely pungent.
Yuwen Tuo panicked when he saw the black, flaming oil covering his body, but he still pretended to be calm: "If you're so capable, why don't you kill me with one strike? I don't know anything."
"Not bad, you're a good man. I hope you can keep it up and not disappoint me."
Jiang Tian took a torch.
He waved the torch in front of Yuwen Tuo.
"Bring me two more buckets of water. I'll first set the flammable oil on this bastard on fire, let it burn for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, and then extinguish it with water."
Then pour in hot oil and heat it for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea.
It's unclear how long he can keep going like this, going back and forth like this.
After Jiang Tian finished speaking, he put his arm around Pang De's shoulder and said, "Young Grand Secretary, how about we make a bet on how many rounds he can last?"
Pang De was so frightened that he quickly shook his head: "Lord Jiang, why don't you just give him a quick death? There's no need to torture him like this."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tian patted the massive shoulder, which terrified the man so much that he trembled all over and knelt down with a thud.
"Young Grand Secretary, why are you kneeling again? Get up and bet with me right now, or I'll pour this flammable oil all over you."
Little Pound quickly got up from the ground: "Sir, don't joke with me. I'm timid, I wouldn't dare to gamble on these things."
"You useless thing, think it over carefully. You have to gamble today."
"I bet he won't last a single round," Pound said casually, having no other choice.
Jiang Tie, holding a torch, walked up to Yuwen Tuo again and looked at the weapons that Yuwen Tuo had placed beside him.
“Kid, you’ve got guts. Your master said you couldn’t even last one round.”
Upon hearing this, Pang De waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "Lord Jiang, you misunderstand. I am not his master."
"You'd better shut up before I even ask you a question. If you keep trembling, I'll pour this flammable oil all over you."
Pound quickly covered his mouth.
"Your name is Yuwen Tuo. There's a man named Yuwen Tai you should know. I guess you're brothers." Jiang Tian's torch slowly approached Yuwen Tuo.
"I don't understand how your Yuwen family, once the most powerful family in the Great Xia Dynasty, has now fallen so low as to be a dog for the Pang family."
Now, not only are both brothers dead, but they'll also be forever haunted by their past.
Yuwen Tuo gasped for breath: "There's something I don't understand. Tell me, I used sleeping powder and the soothing breeze today, and your people have been falling to the ground in droves. How can you still have such strong fighting power?"
Jiang Tian sneered: "You think you can fool me with such despicable methods?"
Jiang Tian lit the fire.
Soon, a raging fire broke out on Yuwentuo's body.
The guy screamed and rolled around on the ground, trying to extinguish the raging flames on his body.
However, the ground was covered in burning oil.
The oil from the intense fire had already burned to a crisp.
He wanted to extinguish the flames on his body, but that was wishful thinking, a pipe dream.
The air was filled with the stench of burning meat.
When the young Grand Secretary Pang De saw this, he was so frightened that he wet himself.
Amidst the stench of burning, there was also a strong smell of urine.
It burned for a full minute.
Jiang Tian snapped his fingers.
Li Guang quickly grabbed two buckets of water and poured them over Yuwen Tuo.
The flames were quickly extinguished.
Yuwen Tuo's entire body was charred black, his skin torn and bleeding.
The water poured onto Yuwentuo's body, washing away the charred flesh.
His reddish skin was completely exposed.
Waves of excruciating pain made Yuwen Tuo feel like he was dying.
"You still have guts." Jiang Tianyou snapped his fingers, and another bucket of flaming oil was poured over Yuwentuo.
“Do you think I wouldn’t notice the marks you left along the way?” He pointed at Huo Qubing and Li Guang, “These two are a hundred times more capable than you. They saw through your little tricks at a glance.”
Yuwen Tuo blinked and glanced at the young Grand Secretary Pang De.
“All of these actions were instructed by the young Grand Secretary.” Yuwen Tuo took a few deep breaths to adjust his breathing. “I only arrived from Tai’an City, the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty, a few days before you built the Chuxiong Pass Great Wall.”
"Yuwen Tuo, you bastard, you're spouting nonsense! I'll kill you today!" Pang De got up and charged at Yuwen Tuo.
Before he could even reach Yuwen Tuo, Huo Qubing kicked him to the ground.
“I am a man who has died once.” Yuwen Tuo gasped for breath again. “Now I understand that wealth and status are like fleeting clouds, not worth mentioning at all.”
Over the years, I have done many heinous things with the Chief Cabinet Secretary Pang Hao.
That bastard Pang Hao has colluded with those rebels in order to seize power.
"He funded and led more than half of the dozens of rebel armies within the dynasty?"
"As the Grand Secretary of the Great Xia Dynasty, Pang Hao was not thinking about revitalizing the Great Xia Dynasty, but rather about making the Great Xia Dynasty chaotic."
Whether it was the Liao Dynasty in the north, the Xianbei, or even the Xiongnu, he always wanted to interfere.
“It is pitiful that hundreds of millions of subjects of my Great Xia Dynasty have been brought to ruin by him, with countless lives lost, families destroyed, and people injured or killed.”
"Pang Hao's behavior was perverse and even Heaven couldn't stand it. As a result, the Great Xia Dynasty didn't receive a single drop of rain for three years."
"If the Great Xia Dynasty continues to let Pang Hao do this, then its fate is sealed."
It just so happens that this scoundrel is bowing and scraping before His Majesty the Emperor, behaving obsequiously.
But this bastard is the number one traitor in the world.
Yuwentuo cursed for a full ten minutes.
"Jiang Tian, I, Yuwen Tuo, have not admired many people in my life, but you are one of the people I admire most in my life."
The Great Xia Dynasty is blessed to have you.
Perhaps the Great Xia Dynasty can be revived because of you.
Yuwen Tuo gasped for breath again as he spoke, "Jiang Tian, I have a request before I die, and I hope you can grant it."
