Everyone nodded in agreement.
A scout cavalryman ran up to Zhang Xianzhong.
"General, I have good news."
“Tell me, any news is good news as long as there’s a way to kill Jiang Tian and that bitch Empress.”
"General, Jiang Tian has already announced that tomorrow at noon, at that dried-up river and lake 30 li west of the city."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xianzhong grabbed the cavalryman by the collar and lifted him up from the ground: "What is it? Be more specific."
"Jiang Tian demanded that all the people inside and outside the city go there, saying that he could fill the dried-up lake with water."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xianzhong immediately perked up; for him, this was definitely a great opportunity.
"Did you all hear that clearly?"
Zhang Xianzhong addressed the dozen or so generals under his command.
"Since Jiang Tian is so eager to die, then let's grant his wish."
"Everyone take off your armor and put on the clothes of ordinary people. Tomorrow is Jiang Tian's death day."
"Yes..." everyone said in unison.
"This time, we must act decisively and make sound arrangements. We absolutely cannot allow any unexpected incidents to occur."
"clear……"
Zhang Xianzhong's men were all sharpening their knives, ready to pounce.
“Jiang Tian, that beast, killed so many of our people,” Ma Liangmin gritted his teeth in anger. “My brother was killed by Jiang Tian. I swear I will not be a man if I do not avenge this.”
Hu Hao: "Brothers, coat all the swords with deadly poison, and bring all the Qilin smoke."
Zhang Xianzhong: "Listen up, all of you! It's better to kill 30,000 innocent people than to let one guilty person go free."
"Whoever kills Jiang Tian, that beast, will get whatever they want. Killing Jiang Tian will reward you with ten thousand gold pieces and make you a marquis with ten thousand households."
When I become emperor, I will bestow upon him the title of "King of the First Rank."
Zhang Xianzhong has really gone all out.
Ten thousand gold pieces, ten thousand households, a king standing shoulder to shoulder with a single character.
These are all great honors.
Even the most severely wounded will produce brave men.
Everyone was eager to get started.
"General, don't worry, Jiang Tian is definitely going to die this time."
"Jiang Tian has no chance of escaping this time, no matter how hard he tries. We'll treat them the same way he treated us."
...
Early the next morning, people from both inside and outside the city flocked to the dried-up lake, located 30 miles west of the city.
The people surrounded the place in layers.
Crowds of people were everywhere.
All the people looked at the dried-up riverbed.
If it really is as Jiang Tian said, that it can fill this lake with river water.
The surrounding millions of acres of land will truly be saved.
At that time, the people will no longer have to worry about water and food.
All the people eagerly awaited the arrival of the newcomers.
Just then, the sound of two trains roared from the direction of the capital.
As the train roared to life, plumes of white smoke billowed from the chimney on top of the train.
Even though they were still far from the dried-up lake, all the people could hear the sound of the train.
The train's whistle grew louder and louder.
The train is getting closer and closer to these people.
When the people saw the train arrive, they cheered with joy.
The crowd erupted in cheers and shouts.
Jiang Tian was in the first carriage of the train, and Empress Qian Renxue was sitting next to him.
Bai Qi personally led 5,000 Qin cavalry to guard both sides of the train.
The Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Black Ice Guard also mingled among the common people.
Zhang Xianzhong was no fool.
Jiang Tian and his group are not fools either.
Lu Wentong has already made a mistake once. If he makes another mistake this time, what chance does he have as the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard?
The train wasn't moving very fast.
When the people on both sides of the road saw Jiang Tian's train coming, they knelt down with a thud.
All the people knew that if it weren't for Jiang Tian, none of them would have survived.
The train slowly passed through the crowd.
Hu Hao stood in the crowd, his eyes fixed on Jiang Tian's car.
Ma Liangmin and his men carried the "Sad Breeze" and "Qilin Incense" in their hands.
They waited until Jiang Tian got close before releasing the Qilin Flame and then leading their men to charge forward.
Upon reaching the lake, the train slowly came to a stop.
The people quickly surrounded it.
Amid cheers, Jiang Tiantian stepped out of the carriage and crawled under it.
Several members of the Imperial Guards quickly surrounded Jiang Tian.
"Lord Jiang, what you're doing is far too dangerous."
Jiang Tian smiled slightly: "I'll just say a few words to the local people. You all keep a close eye on things. Don't let anyone take advantage of the situation."
The Imperial Guards nodded repeatedly.
The guards on the train, carrying torches, would open fire immediately if they spotted anything amiss.
The Qin cavalry stood on both sides of the train.
The people knelt all over the ground.
Hu Hao looked at Ma Liangmin beside him.
Ma Liangmin shook his head; now was not the time to take action.
The Qin cavalry was mighty and powerful; if they detected anything unusual, their arrows would have already been fired.
"Fellow villagers, I, Jiang Tian, have come here today to tell you that I have the ability to fill this dried-up lake with water."
"With a water source, you can rest easy."
"Everyone, look carefully."
"Today I am the god in your hearts."
After Jiang Tian finished speaking, he jumped off the roof of the car, and the Imperial Guards followed suit.
Jiang Tian walked to the lakeside.
He opened the system space and spent 100,000 rage points to exchange for a lake covering 200,000 acres.
