Dian Wei never expected that Li Yuanba, who was only a little over 1.5 meters tall, would have such powerful abilities.
“Dian Wei, this is Li Yuanba. His two golden hammers, each weighing 800 jin.” Jiang Tian smiled slightly.
Dian Wei was greatly surprised upon hearing this.
His two halberds weighed only a little over 60 kilograms in total.
"My lord, is it true that these two hammers are really that heavy?"
"Li Yuanba, throw that hammer at him and let him try it." Jiang Tian snapped his fingers at Li Yuanba.
Li Yuanba agreed and swung the hammer in his hand with a whoosh.
Dian Wei looked at Li Yuanba holding the hammer, which didn't seem particularly heavy at all.
But when the hammer was thrown, it made a whooshing sound.
Dian Wei dared not delay and quickly reached out to catch it.
The moment Dian Wei grasped the hammer, he immediately felt his body being pulled to the side by the strong wind of the drumbeat.
Dian Wei knew he was in trouble and quickly let go.
With a muffled thud, the golden hammer fell heavily to the ground, half of it embedded in the surrounding soil.
The entire ground was shaking.
Dian Wei glanced at Li Yuanba, looking embarrassed: "You're quite capable, kid. I just slipped. It's only 800 jin, it's not like we can't lift it."
Dian Wei dismounted and grabbed the Golden Hammer of the Drum with one hand, then suddenly lifted it upwards.
As a result, the golden hammer of the drum remained completely still.
Dian Wei's face turned red instantly.
Fortunately, this guy's face is too dark, so even if he blushes, no one can tell.
"Sorry, my hands are too slippery." Before Dian Wei finished speaking, he spat twice into his palms and then rubbed them vigorously.
He immediately assumed a horse stance, gripped the golden hammer with both hands, and yanked it up sharply.
He picked up the hammer with both hands.
Everyone cheered.
Li Yuanba immediately knew Dian Wei's true capabilities.
Dian Wei also began to look at Li Yuanba with new respect.
"Everyone, dismount." Jiang Tian stopped the carriage.
The group looked into the distance through their binoculars: "My lord, it's still several hours' journey to the capital. If we stop now, we might not be able to reach the capital tonight."
"If we can't make it, we can't make it." Jiang Tian watched as the enemy's scout cavalry charged towards them.
Everyone quickly dismounted.
Jiang Tian checked the time: "Let's eat first, and then we can talk about it later."
Dian Wei and Huo Qubing had long wanted to drink Jiang Tian's wine.
When Jiang Tian left Longcheng, he gave them several hundred cases of wine.
But they had already drunk all those hundreds of cases of wine.
Dian Wei walked up to Li Yuanba and patted him on the shoulder: "Brother, I, Dian Wei, admire you greatly. Do you know how my lord addressed me back then?"
Li Yuanba frowned and glanced at Jiang Tian: "What, how many lords do you have? Isn't our lord your lord?"
As the old saying goes, a loyal minister does not serve two masters.
Dian Wei was speechless. He scratched his head and after a long pause, he finally said, "Some people used to call me the Ancient Evil, do you know what that means?"
Li Yuanba: "I don't know, and I don't want to know."
"This ancient evil means that I am very strong."
"I didn't see it."
Jiang Tian took out a folding dining table and chairs.
"Let's eat here today and then continue our journey. No, we won't continue today."
Everyone was completely confused.
Dian Wei approached Li Yuanba again: "Brother, how did you develop such strength? You look like a skeleton, not like you have any meat on your bones. Look at me, I have a big belly, a thick waist, and a broad back."
Li Yuanba leaned closer to Jiang Tian and picked up a bottle of soda: "Isn't this strength innate? Can you really train for it?"
Li Yuanba's words left Dian Wei speechless once again.
Everyone sat down.
"My lord," Huo Qubing said with a grin, "I want to eat barbecue."
Dian Wei: "I want to eat hot pot."
"Those who want hot pot, let's have a private table over there." Jiang Tian didn't want to sit at the same table as Dian Wei, Xiang Yu, and the others.
These guys can eat a lot.
Moreover, their eating manners were anything but elegant.
Dian Wei and the others nodded. He looked at the huge thing on Li Cunxiao's horse and wondered what it was. "Brother, what's that on your horse?"
“Hot pot,” Li Cunxiao said, taking down the hot pot, which was bigger than a bathtub, that was hanging on the horse’s back.
"You guys eat over there."
Jiang Tian glanced at Lan Fenghuang, Princess Hanxiang, and the two siblings, Nalan.
"Let's have something nice to eat here."
The Jiangtian System Mall offers a wide variety of cuisines from all eight major Chinese cuisines.
And they're all very cheap.
Jiang Tian ordered a whole table of Sichuan dishes.
In this open, freezing area, eating Sichuan cuisine is the most comfortable thing to do.
Yi Zhang Hong led his men to gather firewood.
Soon, hundreds of bonfires were lit in front of everyone.
"Huo Qubing, don't eat for now. Distribute all this meat and wine to the brothers. I reckon they've been wanting to drink my wine for a while now." Jiang Tian took out tens of thousands of catties of top-quality beef and mutton from the system's warehouse.
In addition, he took out several hundred cases of high-quality Erguotou liquor.
When Huo Qubing's men saw the tens of thousands of catties of beef and mutton piled up in front of them, they were overjoyed.
Since they left the Great Wall, they haven't had a decent meal.
For the next three months, they ate nothing but cold jerky every day, and when they ran out of water, they ate snow.
Soon, Huo Qubing's elite cavalrymen were busy at work.
They cut the beef and mutton into pieces.
Lamb legs and chops are hung over a fire to roast.
Put the lamb bones in a pot and boil them.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
A pleasant aroma wafted through the camp.
The lamb leg and ribs were roasted until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sizzling with oil.
The oil dripped into the fire, and several small flames instantly appeared.
The mutton soup in the cooking pot was boiling, and the rich flavor of the white mutton made everyone's mouths water.
"You guys, stop standing there and sit down to eat," Jiang Tian said, glancing at the Nalan siblings.
The two siblings nodded repeatedly.
The Khitan cavalry charged forward.
They rushed to Jiang Tian and knelt down with a thud.
"Heroes, may I ask which one of you is Lord Jiang?" The Khitan cavalry knelt there respectfully.
“That’s me.” Jiang Tian glanced at them. “What, you Khitans want to attack me?”
Upon hearing Jiang Tian's words, Li Yuanba immediately threw the Golden Hammer of the Drum at the riders, slamming it down in front of them.
Two loud bangs.
The ground was shaking.
These Khitan cavalrymen were already pale with fright.
Before they arrived, they already knew that Jiang Tian and his men were like war gods descended to earth, unstoppable.
If they dare to fight Jiang Tian's people, they're courting death.
"Lord Jiang, you misunderstand. We are here on the orders of the Empress Dowager of Liao."
