"Young master, please wait a moment, allow me to say something." Pang De took out an imperial edict from his sleeve. "Young master, this time I am going to the Xiongnu for a marriage alliance with Princess Xue'er."
This visit to the Xiongnu was crucial to the future of the Xia Dynasty.
"If you wish to punish me, sir, wait until I return from my trip."
Jiang Tian grabbed the imperial edict and looked at it: "What's your name? What's your current position?"
"My name is Pang De, the eldest son of Pang Hao, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet."
Jiang Tian: "Who do we have here? The son of the Grand Secretary dares to act all high and mighty in front of me?"
Jiang Tian grabbed Pang De's hair and pulled him back.
Pound's face was fully exposed. Jiang Tian swung his right hand, firing with both hands, and a series of crackling sounds rang out.
Jiang Tian's hands moved as fast as an electric fan, leaving afterimages in his wake.
After being slapped dozens of times, Jiang Tian felt a sharp pain in his palms.
"Give me that scabbard," Jiang Tian said to the people behind him. "My hands are sore from hitting you, but I haven't had enough yet."
Jiang Tian took the scabbard and slapped Pang De's face hundreds of times.
Pound's face was swollen like a pig's head, and his mouth was split open, bleeding profusely.
"You dog, how dare you shirk responsibility in front of me? Would these yamen runners have died without your orders?" Jiang Tian kicked Pang De to the ground again.
"After this visit to the Xiongnu, I'll see how I deal with you."
You and all those beasts under your command, not one of them will escape.
I will make you all pay with your lives for these yamen runners.
Pound's face was numb from being slapped so much that all he could do was keep kowtowing.
"Xiang Yu, teach your Longcheng garrison a lesson." Jiang Tian turned around and glanced at Xiang Yu. "Hundreds of them swaggered into the city and even killed people in front of our county government office, and your garrison did nothing about it."
Xiang Yu quickly cupped his hands and said, "My lord, rest assured, each of these soldiers who were let into the city will receive 50 lashes."
Jiang Tian led Li Xueer, Li Feier, and Nangong Qianyu to the county government office.
The three little girls were still in shock.
Li Xue'er and Li Fei'er looked at Jiang Tian and said, "Brother, Liu Fugui died a terrible death. He was cut in two by one of those men."
"Many girls in the village have been ruined by those bastards."
“This time, our Peach Blossom Village suffered heavy losses; many men were beaten to death by them.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tian was furious: "These bastards who rely on their master's power, I will kill them all one by one."
"Brother, the other party is the son of the Grand Secretary." Nangong Qianyu quickly dissuaded him, "You went too far just now. If he goes back and reports to his father, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"So what if he's the Prime Minister? Can he control me? I'll kill them all."
The four of them entered the room.
"Big Brother is so heartless. He's been away from Peach Blossom Village for so long and hasn't come back." The two little girls, Li Xue'er and Li Fei'er, leaned against Jiang Tian's chest, their tears falling like broken pearls.
"Brother, from now on, we sisters will not leave. We sisters do not want to experience the terrible scene we witnessed today again."
"Gentlemen, in a few days I will be escorting the princess to the Xiongnu. The journey is too dangerous, and it will be inconvenient for you to come with me."
The twin sisters, Li Xueer and Li Xueer, shook their heads like rattles.
"Big brother, we are not afraid of danger. We two sisters have died once, so what if we die again?"
"Pah, pah, pah... Don't say such unlucky things." Jiang Tian quickly reached out and covered the mouths of the two girls. "After I return from the Xiongnu, I will bring you here. At that time, you will never leave me again."
Nangong Qianyu: "Too many people have died in Peach Blossom Village. If the two young girls go back to live there, they will inevitably have nightmares. Dalang, let these two sisters stay with me at the county government office."
Jiang Tian carefully examined Nangong Qianyu's expression; the girl showed no displeasure whatsoever.
"Big Brother, can we please not go to that dangerous place?" Li Xue'er and Li Fei'er asked in unison. "We don't want Big Brother to be in danger."
"The Great Xia Dynasty is beset by internal and external troubles." Jiang Tian knew that the two young girls, Li Xue'er and Li Fei'er, wouldn't understand what he meant.
But Nangong Qianyu heard it clearly: "You two sisters shouldn't try to persuade Dalang. A real man should have ambitions beyond his hometown. He can't just stay around us girls."
Dalang has the ambition to conquer the world, and once he sets his mind on something, he goes ahead and does it.
All we girls can do is support you silently from behind.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tian grabbed Nangong Qianyu's hand.
Nangong Qianyu, this young girl, truly lives up to her reputation as the woman Jiang Tian is going to marry.
This young girl is very sensible and knows what she should do.
"When you go to the Xiongnu, take the cavalry with you, and bring General Xiang and General Dian with you as well," Nangong Qianyu said tenderly.
“I understand.” Jiang Tian nodded. “The reason I went to the Xiongnu this time is to see the strength of the 16 kingdoms of the grasslands.”
If my strength is insufficient, I will conquer the 16 kingdoms of the steppes within two years.
Nangong Qianyu is indeed a well-bred young lady; she can see far more soldiers than Li Xueer and her sister.

Outside Dragon City.
Pound stumbled and staggered as he rode his horse to the military camp.
The soldiers in his mansion were terrified when they saw Pound's appearance.
The crowd quickly surrounded them.
"Who is the eldest young master? He beat you up like this."
"Let's go avenge the eldest son."
"Where is that bastard Li Ergou? Shouldn't he be protecting the young master?"
Upon hearing this, Pound was immediately enraged.
He felt a little better if he didn't mention Li Ergou.
He gets furious whenever Li Ergou is mentioned.
Li Ergou, as his personal bodyguard, had been doing all sorts of dirty things for him.
Pang De had always thought Li Ergou was highly skilled, but he never expected that Xiang Yu's Overlord Spear would kill Li Ergou in one fell swoop.
"Don't mention that bastard Li Ergou to me, I can't bear the shame of that."
Pound's lips were swollen, his mouth was cracked, and he could barely speak.
"Li Ergou always acted like a bully, relying on his master's power. I thought he was really capable. But he got killed in one move."
Everyone was shocked to hear this.
Li Ergou's reputation as Pang De's bodyguard was well-deserved.
As a result, Li Ergou, who was strong and highly skilled, was killed in one move.
"I will make that bastard Jiang Tian pay back tenfold for the humiliation I suffered today." Pang De looked at Yang Lin beside him. "Send a message back by carrier pigeon and have my father send Yuwen Tuo over."
I want to see the abilities of our Pang family's foremost military general.
"Also, Jiang Tian will be with me to go to the Xiongnu in a few days to inform Li Chuang and Zhang Shicheng, and have them lead a large force to attack the three cities of Longcheng."
I will destroy the foundation Jiang Tian built, step by step.
