Ren Baqian, the empress, and more than a hundred winged cavalry warriors waited on the mountain ridge from noon until late at night. It was not until the next morning that one group arrived, but there was still no sign of the other group.
The group of winged cavalry didn't encounter any trouble along the way, but they encountered a group of about a thousand cavalry warriors on their way here. They were immediately killed, and more than half of them escaped.
Ren Baqian suspected that the group of winged cavalry warriors had encountered some trouble. For example, they encountered a large number of elite Great Xia soldiers like the group that he and the empress had encountered. He was afraid that it would be somewhat dangerous. If they continued to wait, the Great Xia army might have already received the news and set up camp outside.
However, he didn't bring it up.
He was the one who had the least right to speak here.
The empress was here for him, and these winged cavalry warriors were here to look for the empress. Could he suggest not to wait anymore?
Unless he had no other choice, Ren Baqian knew that he would absolutely not say it.
"Let's continue to wait. At worst, we can go back and get some nightshade and pralidoxime. Those things are much easier to get than sarin gas, "Ren Baqian thought to himself.
Back then, the empress brought back two packs of sarin gas. One was used in the Nine Pavilions, and the other was still hanging on Qi Shui's back.
Originally, Ren Baqian wanted to bring it back to Dayao for safekeeping. In the future, when the war started, he would throw it at the main army of Great Xia. He was afraid that most of them would die.
However, if he were to throw it here, it would be gone after it was used.
Back then, the empress had wiped out all the sarin gas stored by that organization. That organization's factory had also been bombed, so there was probably no chance for it to be produced again.
Ren Baqian lay on a big rock and looked at the blue sky and white clouds above his head. He was unhurriedly thinking. The empress was sitting not far away. Some of the 300 winged cavalry warriors dispersed to prepare to receive that group of people, while others hunted in the mountains.
They waited from morning to night. Everyone had been waiting here for a day and a half. At this moment, someone suddenly shouted from afar. The winged cavalry warriors who were preparing to slaughter looked up with joy.
"Are they here?" Ren Baqian tilted his head to look at their reaction and thought to himself.
Very quickly, a group of goat riders came bouncing over from afar.
A group of murderous burly men hopped forward on goats. The scene was very beautiful and could definitely shatter many people's fantasies about the profession of knights. If this were to be filmed, people would definitely not be able to look straight at it. However, Ren Baqian had seen it many times over the past two days and was getting used to it.
That kind of giant mountain goat was like a scamper. On flat ground, it wasn't as fast as a horse, but it was really good in the mountains. There were very few terrains that could stop it.
"Your Majesty! Please forgive us for our tardiness. "More than a hundred people got off their mounts and knelt down on one knee.
From the looks of it, they did not encounter any trouble. Their armor was not broken, and there were no bloodstains on their bodies.
"It's good that you are here. Get up," the empress said faintly.
After everyone stood up, the empress asked, "Why are you only here now?"
The empress asked casually. After all, they didn't look like they had fought before.
The captain's face twitched for a long time. He turned around and kicked the person behind him away before saying awkwardly, "That bastard led us the wrong way."
The faces of the others also twitched for a long time. They all looked at the burly man from the corner of their eyes, as if they were looking at him with disdain.
Ren Baqian looked at them from a short distance away and laughed out loud.
If they weren't enemies, this group of fellows were actually rather simple and honest and cute. Even though they had the halo of being a pig teammate most of the time.
"Let's rest first. We will set off tomorrow morning." The empress waved her hand to let them find a place to rest.
Ren Baqian pondered for a long time, moved closer to the empress and said, "It has already been three days. There are still two more days before we return. How long more do we have to walk in this mountain? "
The empress called Teng Ji over and inquired about it. Only then did she know that based on everyone's speed, they still needed one and a half days to descend the mountain. Then, they would use half a day to pass through the plains and enter the next mountain range.
"Will the Great Xia army be waiting for us there?" Ren Baqian inquired.
Teng Ji revealed his white teeth and said, "We will just kill them all before heading over."
"After that? How do we go? "Ren Baqian asked again.
Teng Ji looked at the empress before replying, "After that, we will enter Mount Lianyin. After going over it, we will reach a gorge called the Falling Moon Gorge. There is a big river blocking the way. The widest part of the river is more than one kilometer. Furthermore, the river is turbulent and there are strange fish that eat people. There will probably be Great Xia soldiers blocking the way. Furthermore, according to the time, the experts from Great Xia will probably arrive by then.
However, the good thing is that Hong Wu will probably send experts from the army to wait for everyone there. After passing through that gorge, it will be the border. On the contrary, there won't be many intercepting forces there.
This was because if they mobilized their army to intercept them, Dayao wouldn't just sit and watch. They would directly bypass Qiuyun Pass and destroy their anus. The commander-in-chief of Great Xia definitely wouldn't dare to do that.
And no matter what, a small portion of manpower wouldn't be a match for over four hundred winged cavalry warriors.
Therefore, the most dangerous place was actually at the Falling Moon Gorge.
After Ren Baqian heard what Teng Ji said, he became pensive. Previously, with just the two of them, they didn't need to prepare too much. With Qi Shui's speed, they didn't need to worry even if they took a detour.
Now that there were so many of them, even though they were stronger, they were a bigger target. It was very easy for them to be tracked down. In that case, just like what Teng Ji said, there would definitely be a fierce battle later on.
After Teng Ji left, Ren Baqian said to the empress, "Why don't I go back now? This way, I can still go back once before we reach the Falling Moon Gorge and bring back some things. At the very least, I definitely need the antidote for the sarin gas. If it's according to what Commandant Teng said, I'm afraid that we will have to use up the remaining sarin gas at the Falling Moon Gorge. "
"Alright." The empress looked at him and nodded her head.
At this moment, there were still a few hundred winged cavalry warriors around. With the empress overseeing this place, she naturally couldn't leave with him.
After informing the empress, Ren Baqian found a secluded place and immediately disappeared. No one noticed him.
That night, when they were having dinner, everyone realized that the scoundrel who had always been by the empress's side had disappeared. However, everyone didn't care about it. If that guy was going to die, everyone would still applaud and celebrate.
At this moment, the empress sent someone to inform everyone to set off tomorrow. After all, Qi Shui's speed was very fast. Furthermore, it wouldn't be a problem for it to travel day and night in the mountains. They would still be able to make it in time to set off at night.
…
When Ren Baqian returned to Earth, he immediately appeared in the living room. Before he could do anything, he heard someone talking in the empress's room. Without thinking, he knew that it was the housekeeper.
Fortunately, the housekeeper wasn't in the living room at this moment. Otherwise, he would have scared the hell out of her.
In the past, it was still alright. He would come once every three days, and it would always be in the middle of the night. Ever since he could choose between two and a half to five days, the time of departure and return was no longer fixed. He couldn't guarantee that he would suddenly appear in front of the housekeeper one day. At that time, he would even have to pay for the housekeeper's medical expenses.
With these thoughts in mind, he quietly walked to the door, opened and closed it.
"Mr. Ren, you are back!" A head immediately popped out from the door.
"Yeah." Ren Baqian nodded his head. He minded his own business and went up to the second floor. He took a bath first and pondered what he should bring along as he bathed.
It would be great if he had the strength of 800 kilograms like the aboriginals. A ton of TNT could even flatten half a mountain, let alone the Great Xia army.
If the empress fired a Gatling gun with 700 to 800 kilograms of bullets, he could sit on Qi Shui and play the background music. The background music of bravely charging into Deadly Island would suffice.
It was a pity that he only had the strength of 160 kilograms, which was the strength of an ordinary man. Those who did manual labor often had more strength than him.
