Ren Baqian sat on Qi Shui's back in a daze. He felt that he was like Xuanzang who went on a pilgrimage. He had just defeated the one-horned king, and now, he was ready to go to the Blazing Mountain.
It was a pity that Hong Haier wasn't waiting there, and there was also no Xiao Tiantian under the moonlight.
After thinking about it carefully, even if there was, he wasn't Sun Wukong. Fortunately, the empress wasn't Xuanzang either.
The group of people walked in the mountains for a day. In front of them was a very tall mountain peak. After climbing over it, they would reach the Falling Moon Gorge. After that, they would be able to return to Dayao.
The three captains were finally tired of playing with the binoculars. They no longer had to tie the binoculars to their heads like before. However, their gazes shifted to the bags hanging on both sides of Qi Shui. At least one of the bags contained that thing called a drone. It was a pity that they weren't allowed to touch it, and this made the three of them very resentful.
"Sigh!" Ren Baqian, who was in a daze, cried out in alarm. Qi Shui suddenly leaped and almost threw him off. Just as his voice left his mouth, he felt a force pressing him down on Qi Shui's back.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ren Baqian turned his head and smiled at the empress. The sunlight that shone on the treetops seemed to fall down after being smashed. Specks of sunlight shone on the empress's body.
The empress was wearing earphones and listening to music from a music player. This was considered a form of entertainment during the journey.
The sunlight that shone on her body, the earphones, the music, and her relaxed expression made the empress look like a girl under the shade of a tree in a schoolyard.
It would be even better if there weren't that group of people looking at them from time to time.
At this moment, there were actually two empty mounts. Ren Baqian didn't think of changing mounts, and the empress didn't chase him off either. This was considered as tacit agreement that the two of them were riding on the same mount.
Both of them also addressed each other as Her Majesty and Ren Baqian. They didn't talk much on normal days, but there seemed to be a certain atmosphere between the two of them that isolated the rest of the people.
This made many winged cavalry warriors feel like they had eaten a mouthful of dog food every time they looked at them. More than one of them was thinking of going to the mountains to find a woman they liked and getting married after they returned.
After another day, they climbed over the mountain in front of them. After descending the mountain, there was a large river. The water surface was hundreds of meters wide, and the current was rapid. The sound of the river could be heard from afar.
"There's someone on the other side!" Teng Ji shouted from the side.
Ren Baqian raised his binoculars. Sure enough, there was a Great Xia soldier on a horse looking over at them. It seemed like he was specially waiting here. Turning the binoculars to the side, he could see that not far upstream and downstream, there was a soldier following them.
"It's specially waiting for us," Li Tanhua said casually. He reached out to touch the bow but found nothing. Only then did he remember that the bow was still in the empress's hands.
The empress didn't care that they were watching. In any case, she couldn't hide it from them, so she just let them be.
Ren Baqian went forward to take a closer look at the river. It was very muddy. After all, the current was so rapid that it would definitely bring up the mud in the river. It was impossible to see the bottom of the river.
"Deputy Prefect Ren, be careful. There are strange fishes in the water," Teng Ji reminded him. Now, Ren Baqian was a fragrant steamed bun again.
"What kind of strange fish are they?" Ren Baqian turned his head and asked. He wondered if there were piranhas.
However, it was not impossible. If they could be found on Earth, it was not surprising that they could be found here as well.
At this moment, the sound of something breaking through the water came from behind him.
"Be careful!" Teng Ji's facial expression suddenly changed and he pounced towards Ren Baqian. However, a red shadow was faster than him and appeared beside Ren Baqian in a flash.
When Ren Baqian heard the sound of something breaking through the water, he turned his head and just happened to see a huge fish head swallowing him. Yes, it was swallowing.
The fish's mouth was like a bird's. It was very long and filled with fangs. Its body was round. This fish looked as if a bird's mouth was installed on the fish's body. It was ugly and ferocious. Ren Baqian's heart immediately trembled and he took a step back.
In the next second, a spotlessly white hand stretched out from Ren Baqian's side and directly slapped the fish's mouth that was trying to bite him.
That fish head looked as if it was smashed by a heavy object and was directly knocked out of the water. The five to six meters long fish body spun in the air. Just when the fish tail was about to swing near the empress, it was slapped on its body. Its body immediately exploded in the direction of the big river, spitting out a lot of flesh and blood. Together with the fish body, it fell into the middle of the big river.
Very quickly, another five to six dorsal fins appeared in the middle of the big river. The river water was also dyed red with blood.
Ren Baqian only calmed down after a long time. He was really frightened just now. It was too sudden.
He didn't expect that when he was standing by the river, that thing would dare to stretch its head out to swallow him. It was simply terrifying.
If it wasn't for the empress, he would have to be fed to the fish today.
At this moment, the empress had already returned to Qi Shui's back and was in a daze. It was as if nothing had happened.
"Deputy Prefect Ren, hehe." Teng Ji winked at Ren Baqian and grinned. In the next second, he felt something flying past the tip of his nose along with the sound of the wind. It scared him so much that he broke out in cold sweat.
The empress lowered her head and looked at her palm … Her throw was crooked again.
After this incident, Ren Baqian became well-behaved and didn't dare to run around anymore. This world was too dangerous.
Everyone immediately set up camp here.
After informing the empress, Ren Baqian found a secluded place and returned to Earth. After staying on Earth for two and a half days, he brought back a lot of things. Among them, there were a thousand sets of antidotes. He was prepared to release the poisonous gas at any time. With the poisonous gas, he didn't feel that there was a need to bring anything else.
In any case, no matter what the other party did, after throwing fourteen bottles of sarin gas, they should be able to continue their journey.
It was just a pity that this thing wouldn't be easy to get his hands on in the future.
Other than that, he also brought back that custom-made Han Chinese costume. He held it in his hand and smiled at the empress, "Only you can display that kind of charm in this costume. I have specially found someone to custom-make it as a gift for Your Majesty."
"What costume?" The empress glanced at him and was slightly puzzled. The costume was wrapped up and she couldn't tell what it looked like.
Ren Baqian took out a photo. It was the effect of the costume when worn on a model.
The costume was a three-looped long robe with a beard. The extended lapel formed a triangle that wrapped around the front of the body and dragged all the way to the feet. The whole costume was red in color with black and gold at the edges. The front part of the costume was a golden phoenix spreading its wings and the back was decorated with golden flower petals. It looked extremely eye-catching, but it was also extremely beautiful.
Ren Baqian imagined the effect of the empress wearing it. Coupled with her cold temperament, she would definitely be able to amaze the world.
If someone else were to wear it, they would probably look like a nouveau riche.
At the end of the day, the costume still depended on the person wearing it. The same costume on Yu Wenle would definitely have a different effect on other people.
The empress looked at the costume in the photo and revealed a look of fondness. No matter what kind of woman she was, she didn't have much resistance to beautiful clothes. She then asked Ren Baqian to keep the costume in his bag and try it on when he returned.
Ren Baqian carried the things back to the crowd. Everyone was aware of his disappearance last night. After all, he was always with the empress when they pitched camp at night. This morning, they didn't set off because they were waiting for him. Everyone didn't know where he went and felt that this person was even more mysterious.
…
The river was called the White Dragon River. Legend has it that there used to be a white dragon stirring up trouble in the river.
The Falling Moon Gorge was situated on both sides of the White Dragon River. It was about 300 meters high and below it was the surging White Dragon River.
At this moment, on one side of the Falling Moon Gorge, tens of thousands of soldiers were scattered and resting. A dignified looking old man stood on a rock and looked at the other side of the river.
Yesterday afternoon, they arrived at the White Dragon River and pitched camp. This morning, they didn't set off at all. This made him a little puzzled as to what the other party was planning.
"Zhu Mu Elders, I will have to trouble you this time. If it succeeds, I will ask for credit for you. " After a while, the old man got down from the rock and said to the two skinny old men who were sitting cross-legged not far away. Upon closer inspection, the two of them looked exactly the same. The only difference was that one of them had a bamboo embroidered on his sleeve while the other had a tree embroidered on his sleeve.
After hearing what he said, the Zhu Mu Elders opened their eyes and nodded slightly.
These two were very famous in Great Xia. Even though they weren't ranked in the top ten experts, they were ranked eleventh.
Ever since they were born, they had always advanced and retreated together and had never been separated. When they fought with others, regardless of whether it was one person or many people, they would always attack together.
Therefore, on the list, both of them were ranked eleventh.
In fact, the two of them were telepathic and had a set of joint attacks. When they worked together, their combat power increased greatly. Even Hong Wu had to scratch his head when he encountered the two of them. It was just that their individual strength was slightly weaker than the top ten experts and that was why they were ranked eleventh.
However, after Hua Sanliu's death, the two of them were now ranked tenth in the world.
This time, they paid a huge price and used something that the two of them urgently needed to invite the two of them over.
At this moment, a messenger pigeon flew over. After receiving the messenger pigeon, a person hurriedly went forward and reported, "General, they have set off. They will arrive in four hours."
