Ancient Drought: The Official Sacrificed Beauties, I Took Them All In

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...

Chapter 215 I, Zhang Dingbian, am no hero if I frown.

The people on the bus lost their balance and all fell to the ground.

Jiang Tian jumped off the car in a daze.

Upon seeing Jiang Tian, ​​Li Cunxiao quickly dismounted and knelt on one knee: "My lord, please forgive me. This humble general was unaware that you had come to Ye City."

Jiang Tian looked at the front of the train and saw that it had been smashed into a large crater by Li Cunxiao's Yuwang Divine Spear.

“You’re really strong, kid. Song Yingxing told me that his car has at least 20 horsepower. But you stopped it in one go.”

Just then, the car made a clicking sound.

"Get out of the way!" He roared at Li Cunxiao these past two days, "If this car breaks down, there'll be nowhere to fix it."

Li Cunxiao quickly stepped aside.

The vehicle slowly started moving.

The train made a series of rumbling sounds and then slowly started moving again.

After about half an incense stick's time, the vehicle came to a steady stop outside Ye City.

With a soft "pfft".

The vehicle emitted puffs of white smoke.

The people inside and outside Ye City were terrified when they saw it.

They had never seen such a steel beast before.

"You guys put out the fire." Jiang Tiantian jumped out of the car again, and Li Cunxiao rushed to Jiang Tiantian's side.

"Li Cunxiao, you did a good job. Ye City was taken so easily by you." Jiang Tian glanced at the damaged city gate. Although the gate had just been repaired, it was in disarray and full of patches.

How many soldiers sacrificed their lives in the attack on Ye City?

Li Cunxiao shook his head: "Reporting to my lord, I only led 18 riders to capture Ye City, and none of the 5,000 cavalrymen were injured or killed."

Jiang Tian pointed to the holes and patches on the city gate: "Did you make these holes and patches?"

"This city gate isn't sturdy either. I smashed it a dozen times, and it broke."

Li Cunxiao truly deserves to be called the fiercest general of the late Tang Dynasty.

If Sima Qian, the Grand Historian, had witnessed Li Cunxiao's abilities firsthand, he probably wouldn't have written down "Li Cunxiao's divine bravery is unparalleled in the world."

"Wow, that's impressive," I thought, glancing at Li Cunxiao again these past two days.

"My lord, I have captured Chen Youliang's most valiant general. My name is Zhang Dingbian."

I wanted him to pledge allegiance to our lord and serve him, but this guy is like a rock in a latrine—stinky and stubborn.

“Bring him here.” Jiang Tian looked at the dried-up moat and the cracked, mangled land outside the city.

The people there were all emaciated, with each bone clearly visible.

Crops can be grown as long as there is water.

The seeds in Jiang Tian's system ripen every month, and it won't be long before Ye City becomes an oasis.

"My lord, wait a moment, I'll bring it here right now." Li Cunxiao rode the black jade unicorn straight into the city.

Just then, Huang Dalang and Cao Jie, who were hanging from the city wall, shouted for help to Jiang Tian.

"Lord Jiang, help me!"

"Lord Jiang, help us! We didn't do anything!"

These guys had hoarse voices and were covered in blood.

Jiang Tian asked the person next to him, "Who are those three guys on the city wall?"

"They are a group of people who hoard grain and speculate on prices, inciting the people to try to take back Night City."

Is this even possible?

Then we should wipe out those bastards on the city wall.

"My lord, you've misunderstood! It's me!" Cao Jie shouted hoarsely.

"Who exactly are they?" Jiang Tian beckoned to the cavalrymen beside him. "Bring them to me."

Cao Jie and the other two were brought down.

Both feet of these three people had been cut off, and to prevent excessive blood loss, they were wrapped in a layer of burlap.

"Brother, it's us! We're innocent!"

"Brother, do you remember when we were in Dragon City, we bought your wine? Now we've been framed, we're really in a bad situation."

"Brother, you have to give us justice! That General Li under your command chopped off both of our feet."

As soon as Jiang Tian saw Huang Dalang and his group, he immediately understood what was going on.

"You're saying you're innocent?"

Several people nodded in agreement.

"Just ask the people and you'll know."

[Ding, Huang Dalang's anger level +999]

[Ding, Cao Jie's rage value +1121]

[Ding, Dong Qianjin's rage value +1153]

The system notification sound has already gone off.

There's no doubt about what kind of people these three are.

You want me to save you?

The three people nodded their heads like chickens pecking at rice.

"You've done so many bad things in the city, I can't save you even if I want to."

The people nearby pointed at the three guys whose feet had been stomped on.

"The master is one of these three people who hid all the grain in the secret passage."

"They were the ones who encouraged us to set fire to the military camp."

"Sir, these three men are all beasts in human form. They ordered us to attack the patrolling soldiers."

The onlookers chattered amongst themselves.

When these people saw Jiang Tian jump off the train, they felt that Jiang Tian was no ordinary person.

The people recounted Cao Jie and his two companions' crimes in great detail.

Upon hearing this, Cao Jie and his team immediately became anxious.

"Sir, you must not listen to the one-sided story of these troublemakers."

“In poor and remote places, there are many unruly people. These are all unruly people, and not a single word they say is true.”

"My lord, please don't trust them!"

"Bring them back to the city wall and chop off their hands. My eyes are as clear as a mirror; do you think I can't tell which are the troublemakers?" Jiang Tian said coldly to Cao Jie and the others.

Upon hearing that they were going to have their hands chopped off, Cao Jie and the others all begged for mercy.

"Sir, I bought you wine before."

"My lord, I may not have made any great contributions, but I have certainly put in a lot of hard work."

"If you spare my life, I'll buy you all your wine."

"My lord, I only hope that you can spare us."

Jiang Tian never had any good feelings towards these heartless and ungrateful people.

"There's a road to heaven, but you choose not to take it. You have perfectly good businesses to run, yet you insist on getting involved in Chen Youliang and Pang Hao's affairs." Jiang Tian waved his hand dismissively, as if shooing away flies.

The three men were dragged up to the city wall like dead dogs.

Soon, terrifying screams echoed from the city wall.

The hands of all three people were chopped off.

The prison van carrying Zhang Dingbian slowly drove up.

Zhang Dingbian appeared calm and collected as he faced his death.

The carriage slowly came to a stop in front of Jiang Tian. Li Cunxiao dismounted and said, "My lord, this is Zhang Dingbian, who is as brave as ten thousand men."

"Has he fought with you?"

"Yes, we fought."

"Who wins and who loses."

"They are evenly matched." Li Cunxiao, a hero who admires heroes, hoped to leave the throne to Zhang Dingbian.

"Since it was a close contest, and you were outnumbered, how did you manage to capture him?"

Zhang Dingbian shouted, "I, Zhang Dingbian, understand the principle that a loyal minister does not serve two masters."

"You, surnamed Jiang, just kill me."

“I, Zhang Dingbian, am no hero if I even frown.”
