After a few pleasantries, Ying Tian asked the palace maid next to him to serve the dishes quickly.

When the palace maids came up with the dishes, the fragrant smell made Jian Jiuhuang swallow his saliva.

"It seems that Your Majesty is so blessed! I really envy you for being able to eat such delicious meals every day!"

"Since you are envious, then eat more! Otherwise, when you return to your library, there may not be any more delicious food to eat!"

Upon hearing Ying Tian's words, Jian Jiuhuang immediately frowned his face and looked very depressed.

"Oh, by the way! Old man, why are you still holding that jar of wine? Give it to the maid beside you. Do you want to pour it for us yourself?"

Jian Jiuhuang curled his lips, then reluctantly handed the jar of wine in his arms to the maid standing beside him.

"You must be careful when pouring! This wine is very precious. It would be a waste if you are stupid."

While handing the wine to the maid, Jian Jiuhuang kept reminding her to be careful and not to spill his wine.

"We understand, old man, don't worry!"

The maid smiled sweetly and took the jar of wine from Jian Jiuhuang's hand.

"Okay! Don't keep arguing about this issue! Otherwise the food will get cold!"

Ying Tian knocked on the table and said to Jian Jiuhuang.

After hearing his words, Jian Jiuhuang turned his gaze to Ying Tian and the others, and then they started to eat lunch.

"Oh, by the way, Your Majesty, the happy event you wanted to tell me today could be related to the war ahead, right?"

After picking up a piece of food with chopsticks and putting it into Yingtian's bowl, Jingwei made a guess.

"That's right! With the help of the old man, Han Xin and his men led an army of 15 and wiped out the 30 invading enemy troops."

"We have reorganized the army and are heading towards the capital of Daxia to join Guo Ziyi and his men!"

After hearing Ying Tian's words, a hint of surprise flashed in Jingwei's eyes.

"This is really a great thing! If General Guo Ziyi and his men can conquer the Great Xia Kingdom, it will mean that our territory will be expanded a lot!"

"Yes! You are right! Moreover, the territory of Daxia is almost the same as ours now. If we annex them, it will mean that our strength will surge again!"

Ying Tian nodded, also feeling very happy.

"But the old man has made great contributions! If it weren't for him, our 15-man army might have been wiped out by the Great Xia Army God."

"So to thank you for your hard work, old man, I will reward you with a chicken drumstick."

After saying this, Ying Tian tore off a roast chicken leg and put it in the bowl.

"Come on, old man! Roasted chicken legs go really well with wine! If you see me in the future, don't tell anyone that I treated you badly!"

"Well! Thank you, Your Majesty, for your reward! I have been obsessed with this chicken leg for a long time, and I know it must be tender and juicy!"

Jian Jiuhuang picked up the chicken leg in the bowl, sniffed it gently, and took a big bite of it. Then he picked up the bowl of wine next to him and took a big gulp.

"As expected! These two things are a perfect match! With this roasted chicken leg, it feels like the wines in your collection taste even better!"

Jian Jiuhuang nodded, an expression of enjoyment showing on his face.

"If it tastes good, eat more. But don't just focus on this dish. The other dishes taste delicious too!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty! I won't be polite to you, you don't have to keep trying to persuade me!"

After hearing his words, Ying Tian thought about it seriously and then nodded.

"Indeed! With your personality, old man, if I'm polite to you, you'll immediately get mad at me! So I'd better not be so polite to you in the future!"

"Boy! Do you think this is what I meant? Don't misinterpret it!"

"How could I misinterpret your meaning? Didn't you just say these words yourself?"

Ying Tian shrugged his shoulders and asked Jian Jiuhuang a question in return.

At this time, Jian Jiuhuang's face already looked like the old man on the subway.

"Boy! When did I ever say these words? Although I am old, my memory is still very good. Don't think you can fool me!"

"I just said you don't have to be so polite to me, but now that I heard your words, I seem to have become so shameless!"

"Really? Why do I remember that what you just said was not like that?"

A puzzled expression appeared on Ying Tian's face, as if Jian Jiuhuang had really remembered it wrong.

"Forget it! Old man, I won't argue with you about this anymore. By the time we talk, I will easily fall into your trap."

Seeing him like this, Jian Jiuhuang snorted coldly, then turned his attention back to the food without saying a word to Ying Tian.

After laughing, Ying Tian stopped teasing Jian Jiuhuang.

"Oh right! Old man, you were at the scene at the time. Do you know how the 30-strong army of Daxia was wiped out?"

Thinking of this, Ying Tian asked curiously.

"The 30 troops of Daxia were not dealt with by Han Xin and I."

Jian Jiuhuang took a sip of wine and then spoke.

After hearing his words, Yingtian and Jingwei were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and then put down the wine glasses in their hands.

"If it wasn't you who solved it, then who did it? Did someone help them?"

Jingwei asked quickly, he was very curious about this question.

"In fact, you may not believe it if I tell you, but the one who eliminated the 30-man army was none other than the God of War they trusted!"

This news immediately made Yingtian and Jingwei open their eyes wide in shock, and Jingwei's face showed an expression of disbelief.

"How could this happen? Why would the Great Xia army suddenly start to fight each other? This obviously doesn't make sense."

"It's a very simple thing! The reason why this happened is entirely because of my appearance."

Jian Jiuhuang took a sip of wine and then sneered.

"This so-called Great Xia Kingdom's military god practices an evil art! He uses human flesh and blood as sacrifices to assist him in his practice."

"At that time, this guy found that he was no match for me, so he sacrificed his 30-man army and forcibly raised his cultivation from a half-step land immortal to a land immortal."

"But he had planned everything, but he didn't expect that even though he tried so hard, I still killed him easily. He didn't even have a chance to escape."

When he said this, Jian Jiuhuang couldn't help laughing, then shook his head.

Yingtian and Jingwei couldn't help laughing.

"Your Majesty! Isn't this what you often say, that you lose more than you gain?"

Jingwei gently patted Yingtian's shoulder and said to him with a smile.
