In the morning, Hong Wu and the generals from the Protectorate of the North learned about what happened along the way from the winged cavalry.
Everyone was amazed by that unknown poison. If they had this thing, they could just throw it at the imperial capital of the Great Xia Dynasty when the war started.
Then, they heard the winged cavalry warriors talk about the walkie-talkies, binoculars, night vision goggles, and the device that could fly into the sky and take pictures of the enemy's setup as if it was witnessing everything with its own eyes. Three of the six binoculars in the hands of the winged cavalry warriors were immediately snatched away. A group of people stood on the rooftop and used the binoculars to take a look. Then, they nodded their heads solemnly and switched to the next one …
When it was the third person's turn to hold the binoculars, he refused to budge no matter what. The people next to him tried to stretch their hands out a few times, but they were all beaten down by him. He was still laughing there, making the people next to him have goosebumps.
"Let me see!" The person next to him was so angry that he snatched the binoculars and kicked him off the roof.
Then, he put his eyes on the binoculars and was shocked at first. It was so clear. Something that was originally very far away was actually so close.
"Hmm? Whose family was this little girl? He was actually taking a shower in the courtyard! So white … "The general smacked his lips.
"What young lady? Let me see, let me see … "The surrounding people immediately scrambled.
Hong Wu held his binoculars and looked into the distance. He had a pensive look on his face. These things were quite useful, and it seemed that they were all taken out by that brat. It seemed that he would have to ask him for some.
She didn't consider whether Ren Baqian would give it to her.
After all, the winged cavalry had quite a few of them.
As for whether he liked Ren Baqian or not, it was even less important. He had to take what he had to take, especially when it was something that had various uses for the military.
The two armies were separated by thousands of zhang. If they could see each other's flag signals, they would be able to respond in time. Also, what was the name of that thing that could communicate freely within thousands of zhang?
"Bring me that walkie-talkie," Hong Wu instructed the person beside him after thinking for a while.
…
On the morning of the next day, the empress was still resting in her room. She was a little tired from the battles that happened a few days ago and the constant running.
Now that she was back in a safe place, she did not want to move after waking up. She lay on the bed and stared blankly at the ceiling.
When was the last time he lazed in bed like this? It had been a long time, so long that she couldn't remember.
Ever since he moved into that empty palace, he had never been here.
Even if she didn't attend morning court, every time she woke up and saw the cold and empty surroundings, she didn't want to continue lying down.
"Your Majesty! It's time for lunch. "Ren Baqian's voice came from outside the door. The empress shifted her gaze and ignored him.
However, after Ren Baqian persevered and knocked on the door for a long time, a pillow directly smashed through the door and sent him tumbling. When Teng Ji, who was far away, saw this, he immediately shrunk his neck. Fortunately, he did not go and call for help.
When the guards of the general's residence saw this scene, they subconsciously shifted their gazes away. After a short while, they shifted their gazes back to Ren Baqian. He had been lying there all this while, and no one knew if he had been knocked unconscious.
Ren Baqian opened his eyes and looked up at the sky. Even though he was hit by the pillow, it was made of wood. Although it seemed like the force of the impact wasn't weak, it actually didn't hurt when it hit his body.
He looked at the blue sky and white clouds above him. He smelled the empress's fragrance on his pillow and was in no hurry to get up.
It smelled good.
It smelled like some kind of flower.
Ren Baqian placed the pillow on his face and deeply smelled it. It was indeed very fragrant.
"Oh!" Ren Baqian felt as if someone stepped on his stomach and immediately cried out in pain. Then, the pillow disappeared, leaving behind only a gust of fragrance.
The wooden basin filled with water that Ren Baqian placed at the door just now also disappeared along with it.
"Bang!" The door was slammed shut as well.
The surrounding guards couldn't stop snickering.
"Sigh ~ Such is life!" Ren Baqian sighed. He suddenly recalled the time when he had just graduated from high school. Every night, he would play games and sleep like a log during the day.
At that time, he had a dog at home called Xiao Xi. It was a Shetty. Every day, not long after he fell asleep, it would jump on his stomach or step on his face to wake him up and bring him out for a walk.
Unfortunately, that dog only stayed at home. Just like him, it would run back home within two seconds after he let go of the leash.
That kick just now reminded him of the feeling when Xiao Xi jumped on his stomach.
He got up from the ground and patted his clothes. The ground here was paved with stone slabs. The air in this world was good and it wasn't dirty at all. He patted his clothes subconsciously.
When he was done patting, the empress walked out of the room. She was still wearing that gorgeous red traditional Chinese dress. Her hair was tied up simply, which was more suitable for this dress than letting her hair down.
Her pair of phoenix eyes were filled with killing intent as she glared at Ren Baqian.
"Your Majesty, it's time for lunch," Ren Baqian said as he stood at the side.
Lunch was specially prepared by Ren Baqian. These days, as long as he didn't return to Earth, he would settle the empress's meals.
Seeing that the empress hadn't woken up in the morning, he asked the guards for directions to the kitchen and cooked a few dishes.
Speaking of which, the food in the general's residence was really terrible. When he ate the meal in the morning, he almost thought that it was for the odd-job workers. After asking, he found out that Hong Wu also ate such food. He ate whatever the food in the barracks was like.
Should he say that Hong Wu wasn't picky or that he was strict with himself? Ren Baqian always felt that as a person, regardless of whether it was a man or a woman, he should treat himself better. For example, there was no need to make things difficult for himself.
One plate of stir-fried wild vegetables, two plates of meat dishes, and a bowl of mutton soup.
The empress sat at the table and looked at the food in front of her. She said faintly, "Take a seat too."
When they were on Earth, the two of them didn't need to pay so much attention to each other. However, over here, Ren Baqian still had to be more or less mindful.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. The empress did so on Earth, and he did the same here.
After lunch, the empress met Hong Wu again in the afternoon. She asked him about the problems at the border and the recent situation in Great Xia.
This time, she didn't avoid Ren Baqian, but he wasn't too interested. He stood there with lifeless eyes. No one knew what he was thinking about, but it definitely had nothing to do with the things they were talking about.
"Deputy Prefect Ren!" Hong Wu's voice woke Ren Baqian up.
"Great General," Ren Baqian hurriedly asked.
"Those binoculars and walkie-talkies are very useful for the border. Do you still have them?" Hong Wu asked in a deep voice. His gaze was fixed on Ren Baqian's face. His face didn't show much expression, but Hong Wu's imposing manner from his many years on the battlefield made Ren Baqian a little uncomfortable.
"The binoculars will take a few more days. After the glass factory is built, we can start producing them. I will think of a way to get the walkie-talkies. "Ren Baqian nodded.
If they could be produced in this world, then there wouldn't be a need to bring them over from Earth. Ren Baqian wanted to bring a lot of things, but unfortunately, he could only bring a few things.
However, he definitely had to bring the walkie-talkies and solar chargers.
"Also, can I take a look at the one that can fly in the sky?" Hong Wu asked again.
"Sure." Ren Baqian looked at the empress and nodded.
After a while, a courtyard was surrounded by people. The imperial bodyguards were pushed outside, and no one knew what was going on inside.
Ren Baqian was surrounded by a group of people. He adjusted the drone and began to climb into the sky following his operation.
The surrounding people immediately exclaimed in surprise. This thing actually flew.
Ren Baqian controlled the drone and circled around the city. Within 1.7 kilometers, it was able to send pictures back via the ground station. The delay wasn't too big either. Everyone squeezed behind Ren Baqian and looked at the pictures displayed on the screen in amazement. It was as if they had seen it with their own eyes.
"Pfft!" Not long after, someone started to chuckle softly.
Through a window, a man and a woman were doing something that was related to the survival of the aboriginals.
Many people made up their minds to close the windows, close the windows, and close the windows.
