The Thunder God Novel - Chapter 53
Chapter 53 Jin Dapang’s Calculations (1)
Everyone enjoyed a meal. Jin Dapang was indeed a big eater. All kinds of eating methods could be said to be extremely exquisite. Even though Lei Xingfeng had eaten countless delicacies in his previous life, he still admired all kinds of delicacies cooked by Jin Dapang. This person was definitely someone who knew how to enjoy himself.
Especially Xinyao. The poor little fellow had always eaten as long as he was full. Everything was good. He suddenly ate so delicious that he immediately held on. He kept hiccupping, hugging his stomach and snorting. He kept praising him.
Big Fatty Jin’s mouth was full of oil. He repeatedly praised the taste of the big horned beef, and then sighed with emotion that after eating these two big horned cattle, it would be difficult to find such good meat in the future.
Wei Zhenglong brought a group of soldiers in to clean up. Big Fatty Jin instructed him to make a pot of Ink Scented Tea. This Ink Scented Tea was a local specialty. It could help digest food quickly and was Big Fatty Jin’s favorite.
Lei Xingfeng tasted the tea. It was indeed very good. It tasted a little bitter, but its aftertaste was sweet and refreshing. He specifically asked Jin Dapang for some Ink Flower Tea. It was a kind of dried flower. It was dark black and was twisted into small balls. Once it was brewed in boiling water, it could immediately bloom in the water. It was an interesting drink.
Lei Xing Yao drank a little and quickly got rid of her full stomach.
Everyone chatted for a while, and then bought some food from Big Fatty Jin. As for meat, they brought a lot from Great Hongdong City, enough for the small team to eat for a few months.
The place that Old Man Lei Bao wanted to go was not the capital of Xi Rong Country, but a place called Tai Lang Night Stronghold. Tai Lang Night Stronghold was not a city, but a distribution center for cultivators. It was very famous in Xi Rong Country, because most of them were cultivators. Officials of Xi Rong Country never dared to go there.
Qi Xuan specifically asked, “Big Fatty Jin, have you been to the Tai Lang Night Stronghold?”
Jin Dapang was immediately relieved. He said, “Tai Lang Night Stronghold, this place is in chaos. Don’t go without any strength. Hehe, of course, there’s no problem for you to go.”
The old man Lei Bao said, “How far is this place from Tai Lang Night Stronghold?”
Jin Dapang said, “Not far … nor near, “It depends on which path you take. If you take a shortcut, it will only take seven to eight days. If you follow the normal path, it will take about twenty days and thirty days. There is a problem with taking a shortcut. You have to take a barbarian-controlled area. This path is not easy to take. Normally, people choose to take a normal path and take a very large circle before arriving.”
Old Man Lei Bao said, “Well, then take a shortcut. Do you have a map?”
Big Fatty Jin said, “Yes, yes, Zhenglong, bring me the map!”
Wei Zhenglong brought over a military map, a very detailed leather map. This map recorded the area where the barbarian tribes gathered. They were all at the edge of the oasis and desert. Among them, they had to pass through a large tribe of desert barbarians.
Lei Xingfeng also looked around and said, “You are in Golden Grinding City to defend against this barbarian tribe, right?”
Jin Dapang smiled and said, “Yes, this is the tribe, “They have at least 600 to 700 barbarian warriors. Actually, barbarians, even children and old people, are very terrifying. Fortunately, Millstone City has a tacit understanding with them. If they don’t attack us, it’s rare for us to eliminate them. We’ll be safe with each other. Of course, if we take the initiative to step into their territory, they have the right to attack. We won’t go to rescue them, and we won’t be able to do so.”
Qi Xuan said, “Oh, you fatty, you want us to weaken these barbarians.”
Jin Dapang said, “I don’t dare to think like this. I’m just pointing out two paths to the Tai Lang Night Stronghold, hehe.” This is a typical Yang scheme. It’s all on the stage. You choose. If you take a shortcut, you can be sure that you will clash with the barbarians. If you take a long path, he won’t lose anything.
Old Man Lei Bao nodded and said, “Little fellow is quite smart.”
Big Fatty Jin had a simple and honest look on his face as he stared at a pair of innocent little eyes and said, “I’m just a foodie. How can I be smart? Sigh, I wish I were smarter, otherwise I would always be fooled.”
Everyone couldn’t help but laugh. This fellow did indeed look simple and honest, but no one believed that he was really honest. This fatty’s shrewdness was all in his body, and he accidentally sold it.
The old man Lei Bao said, “Let’s take a shortcut.” He didn’t care about barbarians or not. If he dared to block the way, then just kill him. He could also train XinFeng’s combat skills.
Jin Dapang immediately smiled happily. Every year, he had a mission to wipe out the barbarians. He didn’t want to wipe out the barbarians. He only wanted to weaken the number of barbarians. This time, he could be lazy and reduce the casualties of soldiers. He wouldn’t miss such a good thing. He smiled and said, “This road is actually very easy to walk. It’s flat and comfortable. There are quite a few ponds along the road, enough to replenish drinking water.”
At this time, Jin Dapang was extremely enthusiastic, explaining everything he knew in detail.
Qi Xuan smiled and said, “Not bad, I really know a lot.”
“Of course,” Big Fatty Jin boasted, “I haven’t been here for a long time, but I know the situation here very well. I’ve investigated this path three times, so it can be said that … even if my eyes are closed, I can still go there!”
The old man Lei Bao said, “How about this …”
Big Fatty Jin was still puzzled as he thought to himself, “What kind of thing is that?”
Old Man Lei Bao continued, “In that case, you can be our guide.”
“Ga? What?”
Elder Thunder said indifferently, “Is there anything strange about being our guide?”
Big Fatty Jin immediately panicked. He said, “This, that … Old Master, it’s not that I refuse, but …”
Before he could finish speaking, Elder Thunder interrupted him and said, “If you don’t want to … then you’re willing! Alright, we’ll ask you to be our guide. You can’t be unwilling, right?” A powerful aura directly pressed down on him.
Just as Jin Dapang was about to defend his refusal, That enormous pressure was forcefully crushed over, He was speechless and his entire body stiffened. Only then did he realize that Elder Thunder’s strength was simply terrifying to the extreme. When that aura suddenly disappeared, he almost fell to the ground and said in panic, “I, I am willing, of course I am willing … cough cough, uh, my that … I am willing …” He almost cried.
Lei Xingfeng couldn’t help but laugh. This fellow seems to have harmed you and wanted to thank me. This is truly tragic.
Jin Dapang wanted to say that the barracks could not leave, but he was reasonable with Elder Thunder? That was definitely a brain failure. Although he was fat and tasty, he wasn’t stupid at all. He was definitely a human spirit. He knew that he absolutely couldn’t refuse. He bitterly smiled and said, “Old Master, you’re really overbearing!”
The old man Lei Bao said, “You don’t want to?”
Does Big Fatty Jin dare to say that he is unwilling? He did not dare to give him any courage. He said, “I am willing!” This tone was filled with extreme resentment.
Old Man Lei Bao spread out his hands and said, “You are willing. Did I force you? How can I be so tyrannical?”
Jin Dapang cursed loudly and squeezed out a face that was uglier to laugh than cry, saying, “Yes, yes, yes, the old man is the best. He is not overbearing at all. He is amiable. I am voluntary, voluntary …”
It made Elder Thunder laugh.
Big Fatty Jin shouted, “Wei Zhenglong!”
Wei Zhenglong ran in from outside and said, “Sir, what is it?”
Big Fatty Jin said angrily, “Follow me and go to the Tai Lang Night Stronghold. Take a shortcut.”
Wei Zhenglong immediately fainted. He said, “Master, that’s Barbarian Tribe’s territory. If we enter, we’ll be attacked!”
Big Fatty Jin said, “Nonsense, of course I know. We’ll be the guides. As for the barbarians, there are so many experts here. It’s not up to you and me to take action!”
Wei Zhenglong said, “But what should we do about the barracks?”
Big Fatty Jin said, “I asked you to follow me. Where did you get so much nonsense? Go prepare food … On the way, you can’t find anything delicious. Bring more. Prepare ten Shatuo beasts and give me the supplies I need on the camel. Remember, you can’t starve me on the way!”
Everyone stared at Big Fatty Jin dumbstruck. There were only five Shatuo beasts in a small group of more than ten people. This fellow wanted ten Shatuo beasts per person. He was still a Lun Hidden Space. Was he going to be a guide, or was he going to eat, drink, and play?
Jin Dapang also apologized, “Sorry, I can’t leave without food. Nothing is right. Haha, don’t worry, I promised to take everyone away. I will definitely leave very well.”
Lei Xingfeng had a strange feeling, he said, “Why do I feel wrong …”
The old man Lei Bao said, “What’s wrong?”
XinFeng shook his head and said, “I can’t say. Anyway, it’s definitely weird.”
Wei Zhenglong walked out of the tent to tidy up the supplies he had brought with him. “Bring my bronze stove,” Big Fatty Jin said loudly. “By the way, I want some charcoal too. I can roast meat.” As he spoke, he chased out of the tent.
Everyone was dumbfounded. Was this guy planning to move the kitchen away?
Big Fatty Jin went, but the happiest person was Xinyao. She applauded and said, “Big Fatty Uncle … I have something delicious to eat!” She had never eaten such delicious food before, so in her cautious eyes, Big Fatty Jin was a moving treasure trove. If she followed along, there would definitely be delicious food.
Lei Xingfeng smiled bitterly and said, “Yaoyao, next time I’ll cook something delicious for you.”
Lei Xing Yao whispered, “Big brother, you’re stupid. If you have something to eat for free, why boil it yourself?”
XinFeng was speechless. This child actually had such thoughts. Soon, he became happy again. Little miser was just a little miser. If he could take advantage of him, he would definitely not suffer a loss. He whispered, “Alright, we’ll eat fatties. Haha.”
Lei Xing Yao laughed proudly.
