"General, are you perhaps a deity descended to earth? Er Gou, when you were in the capital, did you ever see anything like this?"

Er Gou shook his head: "No! Look at this packaging, the material is even better than the bags used by the Prime Minister! I once heard a storyteller in the capital say that our General is the reincarnation of the God of Literature."

"Our general is truly a god!!"

After a hearty meal, the soldiers no longer felt lost about the future, but instead gathered together and chattered excitedly about it.

They first discussed how delicious the instant noodles were, and then wondered where the general got such a delicacy.

In the end, everyone concluded that their general was a deity descended to earth, and that these things were food from the celestial realm!

"What are they talking about in their chatter?"

After resting for a while, Li Wen called Jiang Tian into the tent and asked him a question.

Even sitting inside his tent, Li Wen could hear the soldiers outside chattering incessantly.

After eating his fill, Jiang Tian looked much healthier. He replied truthfully, "Reporting to the General, the brothers are saying that you are the God of Literature descended from heaven, bringing them supplies from the celestial realm."

Jiang Tian also looked at his general. He had been guarding the direction of the training ground, but he hadn't seen his general come out. He didn't understand where his general had gotten this kind of food called instant noodles.

After hearing Jiang Tian's words, Li Wen pondered for a while but did not correct the statement.

Li Wen had also considered this issue; he couldn't think of a suitable explanation for how he had conjured up so many supplies out of thin air. So, he figured it was better to let them continue to think that way, at least it would seem more reasonable to them.

"Jiang Tian, ​​is there a tribe nearby?" Li Wen asked, pointing to the map.

He was looking at a map just now.

Li Wen planned to take his men to a different encampment, and as for the imperial court's order to remain in place... Li Wen had no intention of obeying it at all.

Having absorbed the memories, Li Wen knew very well that the current location of the military camp was completely unsuitable for defense. The surrounding plains made it easy to be ambushed, and the dust storms would mean the brothers in the camp would be eating dust too.

Li Wen originally intended to find a suitable place to set up camp using a map. During the search, Li Wen discovered a nomadic tribe marker left by his predecessor.

Jiang Tian looked at the place Li Wen pointed to and replied, "General, that's the Black Stone Tribe, a nomadic tribe that has been stationed there for some time."

"Jiang Tian, ​​I'm going to give you a task..."

Li Wen told Jiang Tian what was on his mind.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tian's expression turned somewhat shocked. He hesitated and looked at his general, asking, "General, is this really necessary?"

Li Wen nodded: "Go ahead and trade, don't worry about supplies. I promised everyone that I would never let you go hungry again."

Jiang Tian stood up and accepted the order: "Yes, General!"

Jiang Tian found a package, carefully wrapped up the several packets of instant noodles and a pack of sausages that Li Wen had opened, then got up to thank Li Wen, and went out with two scouts, heading far away towards the Black Stone Tribe.

"Whoosh!"

An arrow landed on the ground in front of Jiang Tian.

This is a warning.

"Why have you come to my Blackrock Tribe!"

A bald, burly man shouted from a distance.

Jiang Tian got up and dismounted. Now there were only ten warhorses left in the military camp. Jiang Tian rode over and was accidentally injured.

The other two scouts watched from a distance.

Because Jiang Tian was on his horse, the bald, burly man did not stop him from going forward.

Upon approaching, Jiang Tian loudly proclaimed, "I am Jiang Tian of the Anxi Army, here on orders from my general to conduct a transaction with you."

The Anxi Army was renowned throughout the Western Regions! Back then, the combined forces of several major Western Regions powers, numbering tens of thousands, were defeated by the Anxi Army, so these tribal members dared not oppose them.

Seeing that Jiang Tian was also unarmed, the bald, burly man dismounted and approached, saying, "What kind of deal do you wish to make with us, sir?"

These nomadic tribes like to trade with other tribes or caravans along the way whenever they travel, in exchange for various scarce resources.

This is a common custom among the tribes in the Western Regions, which is why Li Wen sent Jiang Tian over.

Jiang Tian maintained the arrogance characteristic of the Anxi army when speaking to outsiders, saying, "What my general has brought out is something you have never seen before. Take me to see your clan chief."

Faced with Jiang Tian's arrogance, the bald, burly man not only didn't get angry, but became even more polite.

Jiang Tian's temperament was indeed unique to the Anxi Army.

"Alright, sir, please follow me."

The bald, burly man simply led Jiang Tian towards the encampment.

After arriving at the Black Stone Tribe, Jiang Tian was treated with courtesy throughout the journey.

Finally, Jiang Tianbei led them to the clan chief's tent.

The Black Market Tribe chief's tent was very large, with a space of forty or fifty square meters. In the middle was a blanket. The Black Stone Tribe chief was wearing silk clothes and leaning against the blanket. Several women with sun-darkened skin were serving him.

From the moment he saw the other person, Jiang Tian couldn't help but feel contempt.

This chieftain of the Black Stone tribe clearly tried to emulate the nobles of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but his attempt was so poor and half-baked that he would have been laughed at to death in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

However, this behavior was very popular in the Western Regions, especially among these nomadic tribes, who called themselves the Gobi nobles.

"Chief Blackstone, I have brought a shipment of goods on the orders of my general, and wish to conduct a trade with you."

Chief Blackstone was a tall, thin man, and his clothing revealed his admiration and longing for the Great Zhou culture.

"Oh? I've heard that General Li is in a bit of a predicament. What good stuff could you possibly have now?"

Black Stone asked.

Jiang Tian didn't bother to explain, but simply pointed to the iron pot on the campfire in the middle of the tent, which was boiling water inside: "May I use this?"

Black Stone was also curious about what good things Jiang Tian could bring, so he nodded.

Reason told Blackstone that if the Anxi army couldn't even afford to eat, what good food could they possibly have? But Li Wen's reputation in the Western Regions made him dare not underestimate the Anxi army.

Jiang Tian didn't waste any words. Instead, he opened the package, took out a packet of instant noodles, put the noodles into the tin can, and added the seasoning packet.

Jiang Tian's actions puzzled everyone in the camp.

What is he doing?

Poisoning? Who would poison someone right in front of us?

The Blackrock Tribe's high-ranking members were all very puzzled, and then their stomachs began to rumble involuntarily.

"It smells so good!"

"What is this?!"

Some people couldn't help but ask.

Black Stone glared at his subordinate, then asked, "This warrior from Anxi, what is this dish you've cooked? Why does it smell so wonderful?"

Heishi was also tempted by the aroma of instant noodles and kept swallowing his saliva.

Jiang Tian took the tin can off the ground and put it on the ground. He then took out chopsticks from the package and started eating.

Seeing Jiang Tian slurping down his instant noodles, everyone around him salivated. Some people who were eating lamb legs suddenly found their lamb legs tasteless.

Jiang Tian ate most of it in one go.

Even after eating at the campsite, Jiang Tian still couldn't resist the aroma of instant noodles.

"ha."

Jiang Tian exhaled a hot breath, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and then looked up at Black Stone: "Clan Chief Black Stone, this is instant noodles that my general brought from the capital. This is something that only the top nobles of the Great Zhou can eat. I wonder if Clan Chief Black Stone is interested?"

After Jiang Tian finished speaking, he pushed the remaining instant noodles forward, his meaning clear: You can try them yourselves.

Blackstone was particularly interested, but he did not act rashly. Instead, he signaled to the guards beside him to give it a try.

The guard next to him didn't waste any words. He didn't know how to use chopsticks, but he taught himself to use a wooden stick to pick up a lump of instant noodles and stuff it into his mouth.

"Delicious! Exquisite! It's like a divine offering!"

The guard ate while humming.

He wasn't even afraid of getting burned; he picked up the tin can and took a sip of the noodle soup.

After finishing the drink, the expression on his face was one of pure delight.

"It's so delicious."

Hei Shi, who was standing next to him, was still processing the information Jiang Tian had given him. He deduced from Jiang Tian's words that the Anxi army seemed to have received supplies from the Great Zhou Dynasty again. Before he could figure it out, he saw the guards finishing off the instant noodles.

Enraged, Black Stone kicked him and yelled, "Are you eating your mother?! I asked you to test for poison, and you ate the hell out of me!"

The guard then stopped, looking regretful: "Chieftain, this is delicious!"

Black Stone rolled his eyes at him, annoyed. "I know!"

However, he did not eat immediately, but waited to see how the guards reacted.

Black Stone looked at Jiang Tian and asked, "Anxi Warrior, I'm very interested in this food. What's your price?"

Jiang Tian didn't rush to speak. Instead, he tore open another sausage and ate one himself. After finishing it, he put the remaining pack and the remaining instant noodles together.

Jiang Tian stood up and said, "Let's not rush to talk about the price. These are for you to taste first. If Chief Blackstone is interested, he can bring gold to the Anxi military camp to trade."

After saying that, Jiang Tian left the tent.

No one from the Black Stone Tribe stopped them; the others began to rush towards the instant noodles and sausages left behind by Jiang Tian.

"Such an exquisite appearance! No wonder it's something of the noble class of the Great Zhou Dynasty!"

The people of the Black Stone Tribe had no doubt about what Jiang Tian said. Just the exquisite appearance of those packaging bags made them believe that these foods were only for nobles.

Others followed suit and cooked instant noodles in other metal cans, mimicking Jiang Tian's actions.

The remaining sausages were immediately bitten into by other executives.

"Leave some for me!"

Blackstone was furious when he saw this.

"Chieftain, I'm testing the poison for you!"

"Fuck you! The Anxi army needs poison to kill us? Now that they have supplies, if they really wanted to kill us, why would they need to go through all that trouble?"

Black Stone's words make a lot of sense. With the Anxi army's fighting strength, once they have supplies, dealing with them would be a piece of cake.

Therefore, Blackstone was no longer worried about food safety and began to sample the food first.

"This is fucking delicious! The nobles of the Great Zhou Dynasty actually eat this kind of delicious food every day!"

-

After completing his mission, Jiang Tian met up with the scouts who were waiting outside and together they headed towards the Anxi military camp.

They hadn't gone far when they heard the voices of cavalrymen behind them: "Sir! Wait a minute!"
