"Let's talk about it in two years." Jiang Tian stood up.

Suddenly, the little girl, Princess Qiongyao, burst into tears: "My lord, is it because I am not pretty?"

“There’s one thing…” Jiang Tian said seriously, “We need to raise the child for two years before you do *that* with me…”

"By the way, you little girl talk in your sleep in the middle of the night."

Upon hearing this, Princess Qiongyao quickly wiped away her tears: "What nonsense are you talking about? You didn't say anything embarrassing, did you? Please don't laugh at me."

"Yesterday, when I was half asleep, I heard you say that you wanted to eat hot pot."

The little girl nodded.

"Alright, go and call the Empress Dowager over, no, let's go to your place. We'll have hot pot there tonight."

It's freezing cold outside; eating more will help warm your body.

The little girl was overjoyed.

...

Outside the palace.

The imperial city was covered in a blanket of white.

The rooftops were all white.

The snow was above knee-deep.

Jiang Tian looked at the thick snow, which showed no signs of letting up.

"If things go wrong, it could turn into a major snow disaster," Jiang Tian sighed.

There had been several consecutive years of drought.

A heavy snow fell in this northern border region, and it just stopped a few days later, it started snowing again.

Jiang Tian looked up at the sky.

The sky was covered with thick, dark clouds.

I reckon this snow won't stop for at least a few more days.

The snowflakes fell heavily, like goose feathers.

Song Yingxing and several apprentices were already waiting at the palace gate.

When Jiang Tian walked out of the palace.

Song Yingxing, Li Jing, Bai Qi, and Han Xin were already staring intently at the sled.

"Song Yingxing, you're pretty fast, kid." Jiang Tian walked over and patted the sled that was converted from a car.

"My lord, this sled is a modified version of your car, so the modification process is naturally fast."

How does it drive?

"It's good, but I can't control it when turning. The snow is too slippery, and I almost crashed into the wall a few times."

"That requires good foresight."

"All of you, get in." Jiang Tian jumped into the driver's seat, and the others quickly followed him into the car.

"Song Yingxing, install some glass in my car, double-layered glass."

Otherwise it's too cold.

Song Yingxing nodded: "Don't worry, my lord. I also felt it was too cold when I was driving this car. I'll install glass for you when I get back."

Jiang Tian slowly started the car and gently pressed the accelerator.

The car moved slowly.

Everyone else had seen Jiang Tian drive.

The only one he had never met was Duke Li Jing of Wei.

Li Jing looked surprised: "My lord, this carriage doesn't need to be pulled by warhorses?"

"Did you see the horse?" Jiang Tian asked in return.

"That's why I'm so surprised. My lord, how did this chariot move forward without any warhorses pulling it?"

"It's hard to explain in just a few words." After driving a few hundred meters, Jiang Tian felt better and better.

The vehicle sped towards the city gate.

The car door slowly opened.

The sled rushed out of the city gate in an instant, and after it was out of the city gate, Jiang Tian gently turned the steering wheel to the right.

The vehicle executed a beautiful drift on the snow.

Everyone was gripping the handrails; the feeling of the car drifting was simply amazing.

"My lord, this carriage is truly amazing," Li Jing exclaimed from the bottom of his heart.

“That’s right,” Jiang Tian estimated that the vehicle was traveling at 30 or 40 miles per hour.

The wide sleds pressed against the snow, making a crunching sound.

The vehicle rode towards the military camp.

In less than half an hour.

The vehicle had already arrived at the military camp.

Duke Li Jing of Wei was indeed a skilled military commander; even with howling north winds and heavy snow falling from the sky, the situation was dire.

Li Jing's men remained solemn in their military bearing.

The guards at the entrance of the military camp stood ramrod straight.

They were covered in a thick layer of snow, but none of them moved.

Patrol soldiers patrolled back and forth inside and outside the military camp.

Li Jing quickly poked his head out of the car.

As soon as the soldiers on guard duty at the gate saw Li Jing, they quickly moved away the barricades and deer antlers blocking the entrance to the military camp.

Jiang Tian's vehicle sped in with a whoosh, and then, with a beautiful drift, came to a steady stop in front of the central command tent.

Everyone got off the car.

Li Jing praised the vehicle highly: "My lord has truly broadened my horizons."

"My lord, with this chariot that can travel swiftly across the snow, we can cross the vast snowfield at any time to attack the Xianbei."

Jiang Tian nodded and glanced at Song Yingxing: "Song Yingxing, I'm leaving this matter to you."

"Make the engine of this car even more powerful."

"A dozen or so carriages were towed behind the car, and each carriage could carry forty or fifty soldiers."

"One vehicle can carry four or five hundred people."

"If you build four or five hundred of these vehicles, you can carry hundreds of thousands of people at once."

Song Yingxing: "My lord, rest assured, I will definitely be able to finish making it for you within a month."

The group entered the central command tent.

The charcoal fire blazed brightly.

The central command tent was filled with heat.

"Li Jing, the brothers haven't eaten much."

"This time I came not only to bring you some food and water, but also to show all the soldiers the power of muskets and cannons."

Jiang Tian's system space contains 100 muskets and ten cannons of various models.
