Ren Baqian and the winged cavalry weren't the only ones going to Tiesuo Pass. Qing Yuan and Hong Luan were also there. After the empress left, both of them had been waiting here.
Now that they were going to pick up the empress, both of them brought along the empress's carriage.
When Ren Baqian and the others left the city, many commoners were also walking out of the city.
They were going to bury the corpses.
The road from the Great Xia barracks to the north was filled with all kinds of corpses. Given the weather in Great Xia, the corpses would start to smell in less than two days. It would be fine if there were only a few corpses, but such a large number could easily cause a plague. Therefore, they had to be buried.
Furthermore, burying them underground could increase the fertility of the land.
If the corpses were not far from the fields, many commoners were willing to bury them there. This would result in a much smaller harvest in the coming year.
Ren Baqian had seen such a scene before. When Wu Shenghou died and Great Xia was defeated, many commoners went out of the city in an organized manner the next day to carry the corpses to the fields and bury them.
Ren Baqian looked at them in high spirits and felt that they weren't going to bury the corpses, but to pick up jinkela …
Of course, they could also obtain a lot of benefits by collecting the corpses.
After those soldiers were killed, they couldn't take away many weapons. There were still a lot of weapons scattered outside. Even if most of them were spears, they could still be made into small daggers.
If they could pick up a few more spears or steel knives and smelt them into thick daggers, they would become family heirlooms.
In such a situation, Dayao wouldn't take them back.
In the past, there hadn't been any invasions. Now that there was enough iron ore production in Mount Damo in the south, the imperial court didn't have the intention to touch these weapons.
Half a month ago, apart from the weapons that were collected after the soldiers were killed and transported away by Li Qianqiu, the rest of the scattered weapons were given to the commoners of Liao City.
With these weapons, the next time there was a war, these armed commoners would be able to make the enemy eat a pot of steaming hot sh * t.
On Earth, it was important to keep wealth in the hands of the commoners. Now, it was to keep "soldiers" in the hands of the commoners.
The next step was to head north. Along the way, Ren Baqian saw Lin Qiaole tied to the back of a fork-horned cow snoring. After hesitating for a long time, he reluctantly gave up the idea of finding a sparring partner for her.
If the little lolita was scratched by her, Tong Zhenye would definitely fight it out with him.
A day later, Ren Baqian and the others could finally see Tiesuo Pass in the distant horizon.
Ren Baqian stood on the back of the fork-horned cow and looked through the binoculars. The gate of Tiesuo Pass was open, but very few people entered or exited.
There were also more soldiers on the city walls than before.
Although Great Xia had retreated, Hong Wu was still rather vigilant.
The group walked for another half a day. When they were still five kilometers away from Iron Suo Pass, they could already see the garbage in front of them. Just like the outside of Liao City, before the Great Xia army retreated, they left behind a large amount of garbage. Although Hong Wu had already sent people to clean up, it obviously wouldn't be done in a short period of time.
Ren Baqian asked the troops to stop. "Sister Qing Yuan and Hong Luan, you should enter the city first. We will leave tomorrow."
Everyone looked at him. It would only take an hour to cover the distance of five kilometers. They didn't know what he meant.
"Wait here," Ren Baqian instructed. Then, he ran to a secluded spot in the woods that he had spotted earlier.
He wanted to return to Earth. It was better to leave everyone outside the garbage dump than inside the garbage dump.
After returning to the villa on Earth, Ren Baqian first drove to the city and bought a huge pile of sweets and chocolates. He bought 150 kilograms of all kinds of sweets, sorghum liquor, and hotpot base before returning home.
Then, he made a call to order a cotton candy machine and a large amount of colored candy.
For the next two days, he had nothing to do, so he cooked cotton candy. After two days, he became very proficient.
During this period, a housekeeper came to clean up the house. It was rare to see the owner of this villa.
"Do you want candy?" Ren Baqian was cooking cotton candy in the living room. When he saw the housekeeper, he opened his mouth and asked, causing the other party to be a little confused.
Ordinary people usually just passed him cigarettes, right? Could it be that rich people started to pass him candy?
Then, the two housekeepers saw a large pile of cotton candy beside Ren Baqian. These were the results of Ren Baqian's cooking over the past two days.
The two of them didn't know whether to laugh or cry as they took the cotton candy from Ren Baqian. With regards to Ren Baqian's behavior, the two of them could only attribute it to his unique hobby.
On the third day, Ren Baqian returned to Dayao with big and small bags of things. After calling Shi Hu over, he first walked two rounds in the forest before finding a tree that was the size that he had envisioned. Furthermore, it was relatively straight.
The tree was three meters tall and as thick as a bowl.
First, he asked someone to chop down the tree, clean up the leaves, and leave all the branches behind. Then, he took the tree through the garbage dump and arrived at Tiesuo Pass.
The situation at Tiesuo Pass was much better than that of Liao City. Great Xia mainly surrounded the place but didn't attack. They only launched small-scale attacks every day. Other than Hong Wu who was seriously injured, there weren't too many casualties. Even though the city walls were damaged, they weren't dyed purplish-black by blood like in Liao City.
There were no interludes when entering the city. They went straight to a residence in the middle of the city.
In general, there were intersections in the middle of the city. After all, there were gates in all directions.
However, Tiesuo Pass was different. In the middle of the city was a residence that occupied a large area. All the carriages and pedestrians had to go around it.
This was the residence of Hong Wu, who had been guarding Tiesuo Pass for decades.
Although all the commoners and pedestrians had to take a detour wherever they went, no one complained.
This was because this was a border pass, unlike other cities.
The reason for placing this residence here was very simple. If the enemy broke through Tiesuo Pass, they would have to go around it. At the same time, it was also to tell everyone that Hong Wu was here.
Ren Baqian and everyone got off the fork-horned cow in front of the entrance. Just as they were about to report their identities, they were greeted by a burly man.
That burly man first looked at Ren Baqian and the others suspiciously. Behind Ren Baqian were the palace guards and winged cavalry warriors, so it was easy for him to recognize them.
Then, he suddenly realized something and pointed at Ren Baqian. "Ah! You are that fellow from before! "
Ren Baqian looked up and grinned. This guy was the one who wanted to use a beautiful servant to exchange for a drone and got kicked into the wall by the empress.
"Is Her Majesty here? The principal of Black Bamboo Academy, Ren Baqian, requests an audience. "
"Yes!" That burly man scratched his head, turned around, and kicked a bodyguard behind him. "Go and inform her!"
He jumped down from the stairs, hooked his arm around Ren Baqian's shoulder, and asked, "That, that flying thing in the sky, do you still have more? How about me? "
Although Great Xia mainly launched small-scale attacks these days, there were also two surprise attacks. However, the two drones took turns to check on the movements of the Great Xia army. Furthermore, the binoculars could be seen from the city. Every move couldn't be hidden from the generals in Tiesuo Pass.
As long as there was a slight change in the military strength, it would be immediately detected.
He had been eyeing this kind of magical weapon for a long time. Unfortunately, Great General Hong Wu also treated it as a treasure and didn't even let him touch it.
"Beautiful servant?" Ren Baqian asked with a mischievous smile. He wondered if the empress would jump out and give him a kick. Sometimes, the empress was quite elusive.
That burly man looked conflicted and hesitant. Finally, with a wretched look, he whispered, "Leave an address, I will send it to you when the time comes."
"Whoosh!"
"Bang!"
"Aiya!
Ren Baqian was hit in the face by a piece of falling roof tile …
On a distant roof, the empress looked up at the sky. Before anyone realized that she was the one who threw the tile, she flashed back to the courtyard.
Just now, when she saw the expressions of those two fellows, she felt like throwing stones at them.
