Time passed in a flash.
Early in the morning, the gates of the palace opened, and Ren Baqian and the empress rode on Qishui's back.
Hugging the body in her arms, the empress relaxed her muscles and lay in his arms.
"Let's go out of the city!" the empress said lazily to the people waiting outside. "Let's go out of the city first. It will be troublesome if there are too many people."
In fact, the capital wasn't as congested as Lan City in the past.
Ten lanes in both directions would be enough for a few decades. Moreover, the current traffic situation could be said to be empty.
It was just that the empress didn't want to go.
It would take several years to go back and forth, and they wouldn't see each other again for another 10 to 20 years.
"Your Majesty, you are the emperor. If you meet an enemy, don't attack easily. A king should fight a king, and a general should fight a general. Let them attack ordinary enemies, "Ren Baqian said as he hugged the empress.
Most of the time, the empress wouldn't attack easily, but when she was angry, she didn't care about anything else.
"So long-winded!" the empress said softly.
"As for the map found in the emperor's tomb, I made a copy for you. Pay attention when you have the chance … You don't have to look for it, but if you meet it, you might as well investigate its secrets …"
"If you have the chance, capture some of the foreign races, preferably alive. I always feel that those foreign races are strange, and I can't figure out why there are so many of them. Even if there aren't 10,000 of them, there are at least thousands of them. No matter how big that area is, there shouldn't be thousands of intelligent life forms under normal circumstances. It seems that all creatures have become intelligent in a short period of time, which is a little strange. "Ren Baqian said what he had been thinking about.
"What's wrong?" the empress asked.
"I just feel that it's strange that there are so many races, but my feeling isn't accurate. Your Majesty, pay more attention when you have the opportunity and can make a judgment with more information. "
"Well, okay!"
"Also, if you meet the Thunder Barbarians again, it's best to capture more of them alive. There is a component in their bodies that can greatly reduce electrical resistance and is resistant to high temperatures. It can be added to metals. With enough of it, the electrical resistance can be reduced to half under the same conditions, "Ren Baqian said. This was recently discovered in the laboratory from the Thunder Barbarian captives.
The electrical resistance of the Thunder Barbarians was extremely low, far lower than that of ordinary creatures. It was probably related to their ability to control lightning.
In any case, this characteristic of the Thunder Barbarians was very important. Not only could it greatly reduce the electrical resistance of materials, but it was also cheap and not difficult to obtain. If possible, it would be best to domesticate this race.
…
"Got it … That's all?" The empress listened from the palace all the way until they were out of the city. She was a little impatient and looked up at him.
"Hmm … What do you want to hear? I'll tell you! "Ren Baqian smiled.
"After I'm gone, you have to be a woman … Say more!" the Water Empress said with a smile.
Ren Baqian was dumbstruck.
The Water Empress laughed, raised her eyebrows, and threatened, "I will send someone to keep an eye on you. If I hear anything after I return, I will skin you alive!"
"Your Majesty, you'd better skin Minister Qin alive first!" Ren Baqian muttered. That guy loved to drag him to the brothel.
"In any case, remember!" The empress sat up, landed in front of the ministers, and exhorted them.
She hugged Hua again. When she saw him again, she probably wouldn't be able to hug him like this.
Ren Baqian jumped down and gave some instructions to the people of the Temple of Heaven.
Zong Shang, the chief of the Temple of Heaven, personally led the team to fight against the foreign races and walk out of the Sixty Thousand Mountains. He had to participate no matter what.
The establishment of the Temple of Heaven was related to this, but it had been dominated by the foreign races for thousands of years.
Whether it was to atone for his sins or for the ideals of generations of experts in the temple, Zong Shang felt that he was duty-bound.
After another two hours, the empress came to Ren Baqian, hugged his neck in front of everyone, and bit his lips.
In the eyes of others, it was a kiss, but Ren Baqian knew that it was a real bite.
Blood flowed out and was licked into her mouth.
After a while, the empress let go of his arms and said softly, "Let's go."
"Be careful!" Ren Baqian said. "If I can get away, I will go and take a look."
"Okay!" The empress nodded in agreement.
She knew very well that it would take a long time.
The empress didn't waste any more time. She turned around and waved her arm forward. "Let's go."
Seeing that the team had started to move forward, she touched Hua Hua's hair, kissed Ren Baqian's lips, and licked the wound on his lower lip. She then jumped onto Qishui's back and left without looking back.
After going far away, she waved her hand again, indicating that everyone should go back.
Ren Baqian only turned around when the empress's figure disappeared from his sight, feeling a little lonely.
It would be a long time before they could meet again.
"Zhao Prince Consort, if you are lonely, I will treat you to a drink tonight." Qin Chuan patted him on the shoulder and winked.
Ren Baqian sighed faintly and said, "I still need to have some integrity … Let's wait for some time."
"Father, will the queen take a long time to return?" Hua Hua tugged at Ren Baqian's sleeve and asked.
"Yes, a long time." Ren Baqian touched her head.
Hua Hua immediately beamed with joy. Before the queen returned, she would be able to receive less beatings.
Furthermore, her father didn't hurt when he hit her.
…
After the empress and the others left, Ren Baqian arranged for people to build a ship. He was going to travel from the Yun Nation to the Chen Nation and then head south to see if he could find a sea route.
There was a convective sea in the ocean of this world. Ships that entered the convective sea couldn't come out again, and there were all kinds of huge sea beasts. As a result, most fishermen lived in the coastal waters.
There were many reefs in the coastal waters, so the development of the shipping industry was very poor.
The huge ship that Zhuo Yue from the Protectorate of the Southeast sent to the empress was only used by the Chen Nation on the rivers. If it encountered sea beasts in the sea, it would be a dead end. This was already the largest ship in the Chen Nation.
As a result, it was very difficult to develop the shipping and shipbuilding industries.
However, it had to be done no matter how difficult it was. It was too time-consuming to pass through the Sixty Thousand Mountains, and the transportation capacity was too poor to support the logistics of the army.
Sailing, airplanes, and using railway lines to pass through the Sixty Thousand Mountains couldn't be neglected.
Two months after the empress set off, a piece of news made Ren Baqian's face turn ugly for half a month.
After wiping out the villages of the Thunder Barbarians and the Eight-Armed Race, Great Xia's experts were divided into two groups.
One group was led by Li Fu and included Jiang Zixie, Xu Gongsou, and other experts. They searched for the survivors of the Eight-Armed Race as fast as they could and searched for the Sixty Thousand Mountains.
The other group was led by Ma Hongyu and assisted by Du Qian. There were also more than 30 people. On one hand, they searched for traces of the Eight-Armed Race, and on the other hand, they searched for other foreign races. At the same time, they had to draw a topographic map.
This group was ambushed by the herdsmen from the Acceptance Spirit Clan.
They were eight experts from the Acceptance Spirit Clan, more than 10 foreign races that were controlled by them, and a large number of jade-waisted slaves.
After a huge battle, more than 30 experts suffered heavy casualties. Fifteen people died, eight of them had condensed Heaven-grade weapons, and the rest were almost all injured.
On the other hand, only two herdsmen had died, and six of the dozen or so alien race experts that had been controlled had died.
The herdsmen themselves weren't considered strong, but they were relatively fast.
However, each herdsman controlled two Cardinal Heaven foreign races. In addition, there were a large number of jade-waisted slaves, some other strange methods, and ambushes. As a result, many of the experts suffered greatly.
