In the main hall, the empress was sitting upright. After a while, Hong Wu strode into the hall.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Give the General-in-Chief Who Supports the Nation a seat of honor." Just as the empress finished speaking, someone moved a chair over and placed it behind Hong Wu.
"When will the General-in-Chief Who Supports the Nation set off?" The empress asked. Hong Wu would return at this time every year and return to the north after the empress's birthday celebration. It had almost become a routine over the past few years.
"I am relieved to see that Your Majesty is safe and sound. I will set off tomorrow," Hong Wu said.
"It has been hard on you, General. You have been guarding the borders for many years. It's a pity that there is no one to replace you. "
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am used to it. Furthermore, there are good places at the borders where we can see snow occasionally in winter. "Hong Wu laughed heartily.
"That scenery is very beautiful."
"I want to see it too." After finishing this sentence, the empress added, "When the General-in-Chief attacks Great Xia, I will also go there to see the snow."
Hong Wu laughed heartily again upon hearing this.
If Great Xia was ready, he would wait until he repelled the Great Xia army before attacking and occupying the cities so that the empress could enjoy the snow there.
"I will pass down the recruitment order after the General-in-Chief leaves. I will also find a way to prepare the weapons. You can rest assured," the empress said again.
"In that case, I can rest assured." Hong Wu was very clear about the situation in Dayao. He knew that it was very difficult, but he still hoped that the empress could get enough weapons. Even if it was only 10,000, it would still increase his chances of success.
"Does the General-in-Chief know where Lu Qi is?"
"Lu Pinghai? As far as I know, his whereabouts are uncertain. However, in November every year, he goes to a fishing village in the East Sea for a few days to pay his respects to a good friend, "Hong Wu replied.
"Get someone to wait for him and tell him that I want Spirit Yuan Pills. He can ask for whatever he wants," the empress said.
Hong Wu was slightly startled. The Primary Spirit Pill was the best medicine in the world for strengthening one's foundation. It was specially used to strengthen one's foundation for those who were naturally weak. It was used to strengthen one's foundation so that they could cultivate. Moreover, it could gradually change one's physique within two years. This would make one's cultivation speed even faster. Based on this point alone, this medicine was one of the rare treasures in the world.
Could it be that His Majesty wanted this thing for that brat?
"As far as I know, I'm afraid he doesn't have more than two of them on hand. Two years ago, I wanted to exchange one with him, but he refused. In the end, the two of them had a big fight and both of them were injured. I'm afraid it won't be easy, "Hong Wu said with a bitter smile. I didn't expect His Majesty to request this for that brat.
"Tell him that if he doesn't give it to me, I will beat him to death, and it will naturally belong to me," the empress said coldly.
Hong Wu was still smiling bitterly. In any case, Lu Haiping was ranked eighth in the world and was only slightly weaker than Her Majesty. How could he be killed so easily? Even if His Majesty could defeat him, it would not be easy for His Majesty to keep him here. At this point, no one could stop him if he wanted to escape.
Furthermore, Lu Pinghai's hometown was in the Yun Nation. Could it be that His Majesty wanted to personally visit the Yun Nation?
After a while, Hong Wu returned to the mansion with a slight frown.
"Grandpa, the way you're frowning makes you look old." Hong Xian jumped in front of Hong Wu and smoothed his frown with her palm.
"Hong Xian, what kind of person is Ren Baqian?" Hong Wu inquired.
At the mention of Ren Baqian, Hong Xian's face immediately turned black. After returning that day, she didn't receive any punishment, but Yaozi was whipped ten times. Then, she was scolded by her father and was still locked up at home.
That scoundrel was actually chosen by Her Majesty as her husband? What exactly did Her Majesty see in him? Hong Xian couldn't figure it out. She didn't like Ren Baqian at all.
However, when asked about this matter by her god-like grandpa, she didn't dare to add fuel to the fire. She only recounted everything that happened that day.
"I see." Hong Wu nodded his head thoughtfully. From his granddaughter's words and what he saw that day, Ren Baqian was a vile person. It wasn't a good thing to keep such a person by Her Majesty's side.
However, it was better to let someone keep an eye on Ren Baqian and continue to observe him. After all, the most important thing now was to prepare for Great Xia's actions. If Ren Baqian discovered that Ren Baqian was really as he thought, he couldn't be allowed to live.
…
Ren Baqian naturally didn't know what the empress was preparing for. He also didn't know that he was being targeted by the second most powerful person in Dayao.
After staying in Qingxin Palace Hall for three days, Ren Baqian returned to Earth. He tried to use [Ruyi Visualization] for the past two nights, but he couldn't enter that kind of empty state. Once he calmed down, all kinds of thoughts would fly around in his mind like wild horses galloping on the prairie. Even if he tried his best to control his mind, all kinds of thoughts would emerge in his mind after ten to twenty seconds.
Therefore, the first thing he did after waking up was to turn on his computer and search for famous Daoist temples to see if they had any solutions.
The first thing he went to was the Laojun Temple near the city. The temple was very prosperous. Ren Baqian first gave 5,000 yuan of incense money and requested to see the temple master to consult about something.
After a while, Ren Baqian came out of the Laojun Temple.
Daoism indeed had a way to calm the mind. The main point was to keep one's mind and pursue not a single thought. In between, all thoughts had to be extinguished.
However, in this case, it seemed like he couldn't practice [Ruyi Visualization].
How could he practice it without any thoughts? When he came out of that state, distracting thoughts arose again.
Unless he practiced for a long period of time, the distracting thoughts would be reduced after a long period of time. However, whether he could achieve his goal or not, it would take too long.
Even so, Ren Baqian still brought this meditation method with him. If the Buddhist method didn't work, he could only try this method first.
The next stop was the Grief Temple in another city. It was also quite famous on the internet. The monks here persisted in their ascetic practice. In this day and age, it was very rare.
In any case, most people would think of fat heads and big ears when they mentioned monks.
Ren Baqian arrived at the foot of the Grief Temple in the afternoon. When he went up the mountain, he saw the abbot. He was a skinny monk with drooping eyebrows and was in his fifties.
"Master, because I want to do something, I need to clear my mind in a short period of time. How can I do it?" Ren Baqian asked directly.
The monk drew a circle on the ground and said, "If you smear the inside of the circle with ink, can it be erased after a day?"
"I'm afraid it can't be erased?" Ren Baqian shook his head. After a day, the ink would have seeped in. He understood what the monk meant. The monk was saying that the distracting thoughts had already taken root in his mind. Just like the ink, it couldn't be erased.
"That's right. It can't be erased unless the soil is dug away. However, if you want to clear your mind in a short period of time, there's only one way, "the monk said.
"How do I do it?" Ren Baqian's spirit was lifted. It was good that there was a way.
"Smack it with a brick and lose your memory. You will forget everything and your mind will be blank. You can do whatever you want and it will naturally become clear," the monk said.
Ren Baqian really wanted to curse, "Damn you."
"I'm afraid this benefactor is also unwilling. If you forget, you won't be you. "The monk laughed again.
