"Zhou Shan, why is this?"
“General,” Zhou Shan said, pointing to the departing army, “they only had a few dozen torches before they reached the Great Wall. They were afraid of revealing their whereabouts.”
Dian Wei, not understanding his meaning, said: "Men, take some men and catch up with that group from before. If there's any problem, we can't let them get away."
Zhou Shan shook his head: "General, the enemy has already gone far away, and we can't catch up with them at all."
"How can we let them get away like this?" Dian Wei was anxious. He roared, "Men, prepare the horses! I'm going to chase after them and see what they're up to!"
"At worst, we can chase them for three days and three nights."
Zhou Shan quickly stopped Dian Wei: "General, don't panic. These people are probably here to deal with the wedding procession."
Upon hearing this, Dian Wei quickly asked, "What do you mean?"
"General, those people didn't light torches just now to prevent the wedding procession from seeing them."
Once they were outside the pass, they had nothing to fear; the Great Wall and the surrounding mountains could block out the light of their torches.
Dian Wei nodded: "But our lord is also part of the wedding procession. Do they intend to plot against our lord?"
“That…is entirely possible.” Zhou Shan was stunned.
"You sons of bitches, how dare you plot against our lord! I'll wipe them out!"
Just as Dian Wei was about to muster his troops, a procession of torches came from the south.
This troop of torches was longer than the ones that had just passed: "General, those people should be our lord's troops."
Dian Wei nodded: "Prepare to welcome our lord."
…………
Jiang Tian's team finally arrived at the Great Wall at noon on the second day.
Dian Wei led his men to form a welcoming formation.
"My lord, yesterday a force of over five thousand men left the Great Wall at midnight and headed northwest," Dian Wei said eagerly.
"This... Li Guang, Huo Qubing, did anyone from your troops go out of the Great Wall last night?"
Li Guang and Huo Qubing both shook their heads repeatedly.
"My lord, our troops have been following us the whole way, and no one has acted on their own."
Huo Qubing glanced at Pang De's convoy, which was not far from them, and asked, "My lord, could it be them?"
Jiang Tian: "Dian Wei, what were those people wearing yesterday?"
"Five thousand cavalrymen, all wearing the imperial armor."
"That's about it, it must be Pound's team." Jiang Tian said angrily, "These bastards, they want to get the better of me, they're just daydreaming and delusional."
"My lord, I'll go and kill him!" Dian Wei gripped his twin halberds, his face contorted with rage.
"No rush, you don't need to get involved in this." Jiang Tian patted Dian Wei on the shoulder. "When I left Feihu City, I told Han Xin to be on guard against anyone trying to launch a sneak attack on our three cities of Longcheng."
This majestic Great Wall is entrusted to you. No matter what happens, you must not leave this majestic Great Wall.
If you leave the Great Wall without permission and come back, I'll kill you.
Furthermore, no matter how the sixteen kingdoms of the northern grasslands provoke you, keep your city gates closed and do not leave the city without permission.
Do you understand?
“Yes…” Dian Wei quickly cupped his hands in greeting.
"Wait for that bastard behind me, I'll stick with him through thick and thin." Jiang Tian dismounted.
Li Guang personally led troops to urge them on, and an hour later, Pang De's main force finally arrived in a grand procession.
Jiang Tian, holding an electric baton, rode his horse up to Pang De and said, "Young Grand Secretary, you're quite the procrastinator. I thought you were a woman, always dawdling over things."
Upon seeing Jiang Tian, Pang De involuntarily covered his face and said, "Young Master Jiang, my carriage is moving slowly. I didn't mean to."
Furthermore, the two young masters address me as "Young Grand Secretary," a title I am utterly unworthy of.
"Kid," Jiang Tian thrust the 50,000-volt electric baton in his hand directly at him. Pang De screamed and fell off the carriage, his whole body convulsing, foaming at the mouth, and losing control of his bladder and bowels.
A strong smell of urine hit me.
Jiang Tian concealed the stun gun in his sleeve, unknown to outsiders, including Pound.
Pound's men were all taken aback when they saw this.
They had no idea how Jiang Tian suddenly acquired such abilities.
No one saw clearly how Jiang Tian made his move.
Pang De's men were all furious. Last time, when Pang De was attacked, they were all outside the city, while those inside the city were mostly killed by Xiang Yu.
These are all wicked lackeys under Pound's command. They usually bully others by virtue of their master's power. How could they just stand by and watch Pound be beaten like this?
"Jiang Tian, you bastard! Our young Grand Secretary respects you, yet you actually injured him!" A soldier roared, clearly a centurion.
"Huo Qubing, that bastard calls me by my name directly, kill him."
"Whoosh..." Before Jiang Tian finished speaking, Huo Qubing drew his bow and shot an arrow.
This arrow, with great force, went straight for the centurion's forehead.
The centurion couldn't react in time.
With a clang, the arrow struck the centurion's helmet, sparks flying. The centurion's eyes widened, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood before collapsing to the ground.
Upon closer inspection, everyone realized that the arrow had pierced through the commander's helmet, with the arrowhead protruding more than half a foot.
Everyone was shocked.
This helmet was made of iron, making it incredibly sturdy, and the human skull is even more so.
Huo Qubing's super-powerful composite bow, capable of "raising clouds and smoke for ten thousand miles," possessed such immense power.
"Who else?!" Huo Qubing roared, "This is what happens to those scoundrels who dare to speak disrespectfully to my lord!"
No one dared to utter a sound.
"Wake him up!" Jiang Tian shouted, pointing at one of Pang De's guards. "Hurry up, I don't have time to waste with you guys."
How could the soldiers dare to touch Pang De? He shook his head like a rattle drum: "Sir, I am just a lowly centurion, how could I dare to touch the young Grand Secretary?"
"If I, a lowly servant, were to offend the young Grand Secretary, he would skin me alive."
"What, didn't you understand what my lord was saying to you?" Huo Qubing pointed his "Ten Thousand Miles of Clouds and Smoke" sword at the centurion.
The centurion's voice changed: "My lord, spare my life?"
"Don't hit me, I'm already awake," Pound quickly said.
"We'll fight anyway."
"This..." Seeing the bow and arrow in Huo Qubing's hand, the centurion quickly waved his hand in front of Pang De: "Young Grand Secretary, spare my life, I had no choice."
The car is moving slowly, that has nothing to do with me.
"Huo Qubing, slap him across the face."
"Understood..."
Huo Qubing rode forward.
Pang De covered his mouth: "Young Master Jiang, our team is moving slowly, and that's not my fault. Young Master Jiang, I've already explained everything, so why are you still hitting me?"
"I've sent people to urge you to hurry up more than once, and you're still dawdling behind me. Who else should I beat if not you? Besides, do I need a reason to order someone to beat you?"
