Jianmen Pass is located in a strategically important and dangerous area.
Two towering mountains stand out abruptly, covered with dense forests.
The withered grass on both sides of the mountain road stretched out in a continuous expanse.
From a distance, it is terrifying and chilling.
Yuwen Chengdu led 5,000 elite soldiers and stood on the mountain on horseback.
In the distance, two trains from Jiangtian slowly approached.
After leaving Jizhou, the journey became bumpy.
Jiang Tian's two trains can only move forward at an average speed of 30 miles per hour.
Even so, this speed is already quite terrifying.
“Young Master,” Li Liang and Li Hongyi, retainers of the Yuwen family, knelt on one knee, “the carriage in the distance is Jiang Tian’s carriage.”
"Young Master, let's set up an ambush here. Once Jiang Tian's car arrives, we'll rush out and hunt him down."
Yuwen Chengdu shook his head: "That bastard Jiang Tian killed my brother Yuwen Tuo and Yuwen Tai. I swear I will not rest until I avenge this."
"Our Yuwen family never does anything underhanded or despicable. I'm going to take Jiang Tian's head openly and honestly."
Li Hongyi: "Young Master, you must not underestimate the other party. He is exceptionally capable. Jiang Tian went to Tai'an City this time in a very high-profile manner."
Li Liang: "Young Master, the fact that they are making such a grand entrance to the capital this time shows that they have sufficient strength."
Yuwen Chengdu glared angrily: "Enough! You are the family's disciplined people. I don't want to hear you say things that boost others' morale and diminish our own."
Yuwen Chengdu suddenly shook the phoenix-winged gilded halberd in his hand, and it emitted a dragon's roar with a hum.
"Who among the heroes of the world can rival me, Yuwen Chengdu? So far, no one has been able to last ten rounds against me, Yuwen Chengdu."
Even Jiang Tian wouldn't do.
"Sound the horn, launch the attack! All soldiers, heed my command!" Yuwen Chengdu roared, pointing his phoenix-winged gilded halberd sharply towards the sky: "Follow me and charge forward to kill Jiang Tian and his men, avenge the murder of my two brothers by him."
Yuwen Chengdu was blinded by rage; his only goal now was to destroy Jiang Tian.
He completely ignored everything else.
Soon, the bugle sounded.
The war drums beat loudly.
Yuwen Chengdu, clad in golden armor and wielding a phoenix-winged gilded halberd, charged ahead at the forefront.
Upon seeing this from afar, Feng Huoliancheng sneered, "Your Yuwen Chengdu of Great Xia is nothing but an incompetent fool who can only act rashly."
"To launch an attack now is to make yourself die too slowly."
Feng Huoliancheng rode slowly forward: "All soldiers, listen to my command! There's no need for us to ambush them here. Take all our weapons and Qilin smoke; I'm going to wipe them out in one fell swoop."
The lieutenants beside him immediately began to flatter him.
"General, they are like the mantis stalking the cicada, while you are the oriole behind."
"No, how can the General be a cicada stalking a bird? The General is a man. The other side is like the snipe and the clam fighting, while the General is the fisherman who benefits."
"In short, the Yuwen family fought to the death, but all the benefits went to our General."
Upon hearing this, Feng Huo Lian Cheng burst into laughter. He glanced at the Khitan man behind him, Ye Gui, and said, "When we return to the Liao Dynasty, I will personally bring Jiang Tian's head before Empress Dowager Xiao."
By then, I, Feng Huo Lian Cheng, will be the Grand Marshal of the Liao Dynasty.
Night Demon nodded repeatedly: "This humble one congratulates the General on the certain victory in this battle. That bastard Jiang Tian's head won't be safe for long."
"Men, cut off Jiang Tian's head, annihilate Yuwen Chengdu's army, and we will be invincible."
"No..." The soldiers behind Feng Huo Lian Cheng were all gritting their teeth in anger, but they had no choice but to shout loudly as well.
…………
Li Yuanba carried two golden hammers, humming a little tune as he absentmindedly ran forward.
This vast expanse of clouds and mist moved at an extremely high speed.
They quickly left Jiang Tian's two trains behind.
Jiang Tian sat on the train, with one arm sticking out of the train.
The table in front of me was laden with delicious food, fine wine, and fruits.
Natalia and Yelia served behind him.
Jiang Tian closed his eyes slightly.
Two small pearls, one black and one white, massaged his shoulders.
Shangguan Wan'er sat near Jiang Tian with a dozen or so palace ladies.
After the train left Jizhou, the landscape before us was desolate.
The earth is cracked and the ground is red for thousands of miles.
Everywhere was filled with yellow sand.
There were hardly any green plants to be seen on either side of the road.
You can see a few refugees every now and then by the roadside.
These refugees were filthy and emaciated, collapsing on the road after only a few steps.
When Jiang Tian saw this, he frowned and casually tossed a few steamed buns out.
However, Jiang Tian knew that this was of no use.
To truly save the people from suffering, the Great Xia Dynasty must be completely transformed.
"How much longer until Shangguan Wan'er arrives in the capital?"
"At the current speed, it should arrive in about half a month," Shangguan Wan'er said, looking out the window.
Just then, Chen Feihu, who was standing on the roof of the car, suddenly poked his head down.
"My lord, there are people galloping towards us from afar, and there are quite a few of them."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tian quickly stuck his head out to look into the distance.
A cloud of dust billowed in the distance.
Although it was hard to see clearly, it was clear that there were quite a few of them.
Otherwise, there would never have been such a large-scale operation.
"Prepare for battle!" Jiang Tian shouted, poking his head in through the window. "Where's Li Yuanba?"
"Our lord, Li Yuanba, has already run ahead."
"Remind him to come back quickly. This guy isn't smart, and he's not emotionally intelligent either. He'll easily get taken advantage of." Jiang Tian wasn't worried about Li Yuanba's fighting ability.
After all, the only people who could defeat Li Yuanba were probably Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao.
"Our lord Li Yuanba has vanished without a trace. Where can we find him?" Ling Yunzhi held a monocular telescope, but after searching for a long time, he still couldn't find any trace of Li Yuanba.
...
The Yuwen family's 5,000 soldiers followed Yuwen Chengdu as they charged forward.
Dust billowed along the way.
The already dry roads became extremely choking.
A gust of wind blew by, and yellow sand filled the sky.
Li Yuanba held a watermelon in one hand and a giant hammer in the other, and he was eating the watermelon in big bites.
A gust of wind blew by.
The dust in the wind has completely dirtied the watermelon.
Li Yuanba took a bite and his mouth was full of mud and sand.
"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey..." Li Yuanba quickly spat out the watermelon pulp that was full of mud and sand from his mouth.
"Where did such a strong sandstorm come from?" Li Yuanba wanted to throw away the watermelon in his hand, but he couldn't bear to.
Ever since Li Yuanba followed Jiang Tian, this kid has finally been able to eat his fill. Jiang Tian provides him with ten whole roasted lambs every day.
He was allowed to eat as many grapes and watermelons as he wanted.
Li Yuanba had never eaten such delicious fruit before.
Li Yuanba can make two or three hundred thousand yuan a day just by showing off the Qilin watermelon.
