When Ren Baqian, the empress, and the rest moved forward, Ning Caichen had already left.
He said that he was going back to retrieve the xueke and wanted to exchange the stun baton with Ren Baqian …
Ning Caichen might have fallen in love with the stun baton or the feeling of being electrocuted.
Looking at Ning Caichen drifting away with a flirtatious look on his face, Ren Baqian thought that this might be a good thing.
He had found his own value and his beloved (stun baton). In the future, he would be able to roam the world alone with a stun baton. How carefree would that be?
How many people in the world knew what they wanted until they died? They lived one day at a time.
Furthermore, an ancient person once said that great souls were hermaphrodites. That should be correct, right? This showed that Ning Caichen now had a great soul. Witnessing such a thing with his own eyes made people tear up.
Furthermore, his schizophrenia was cured.
Every medicine had its side effects, and it was normal for the treatment to have some side effects. It was just that the gender perception was a little different. As long as the person didn't object, it would be fine.
Looking at Ning Caichen, wasn't he quite happy? No objection? Pretty good.
Ren Baqian was relieved, but the rest couldn't. They looked at Ren Baqian as if they had seen a ghost.
Seeing such a half-man half-woman completely turn into a woman, this kind of ability was too terrifying for the burly aboriginal men. What if he turned them into a half-man half-woman? They subconsciously wanted to stay away from Ren Baqian.
They didn't know how Ren Baqian turned Ning Caichen into this. They only saw him poking him with a blue stick from time to time, and he became like this after one afternoon.
It was really terrifying.
"Yagui, I heard that you turned a man into a woman?" Tong Lan ran over to ask Ren Baqian after hearing about this.
There were many students looking from afar and seemed to be very concerned about this answer.
"Do you want to try too?" Ren Baqian had a malicious look on his face.
The little lolita looked at him with disdain and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Can you turn me into a man?"
"Why?" Ren Baqian was surprised. He had never heard of the Tong family valuing men over women. Why would Tong Lan have such an idea?
The aboriginals' women weren't weak and weren't weaker than men. Therefore, there was no such thing as valuing men over women.
Just look at the fact that there are even women among the big shots in the imperial court.
However, because women were naturally meticulous and patient, there were more of them in the Ministry of Revenue and less of them in other departments.
"I heard that House Yunyan is quite fun. I wanted to go there for a long time, but grandpa wouldn't let me. He said that only men can enter." No matter how intelligent she was, she was still a ten-year-old child. Sometimes, she still had childish thoughts.
Ren Baqian, "…"
This was definitely a lack of family education, a lack of parental care, and a decline in social morality.
"This method of mine is a little flawed. There's a high chance that I'll become a half-man and half-woman, but I won't be able to enter the half-man and half-woman either," Ren Baqian said in distress.
"Bah, so useless." Tong Lan had a look of disappointment on her face. She didn't want a half-man half-woman.
This fellow was indeed unreliable.
While everyone was still on the road, two things happened. The first was that the winged cavalry and Li Qianqiu's troops successfully returned with the help of Hong Wu.
Just as expected, the interior of Great Xia was empty at this time. The military power had been drawn out, and other than some experts from the martial world, there wasn't much resistance. However, those experts from the martial world and a portion of the garrison were like sand castles in front of the winged cavalry. With a gentle push, they turned into a pile of sand.
A total of five cities were wiped out, and the entire Great Xia was shaken.
However, there was one thing that wasn't as expected. When they went, they planned to let them rob enough gold and silver to return. In the end, when they returned, more than half of what they had was food, food, and more food … Most of it was consumed on the way back.
Fortunately, they brought back a batch of gold, silver, and jewels. Furthermore, they had robbed them from wealthy families and should be worth a lot. They could replenish the national treasury and at least support the construction of the highway.
This army had left behind an illustrious reputation in Great Xia. Wherever they went, they would eat everything up, eat everything up, eat everything up.
This was something that they didn't expect. Within Dayao, there wasn't much meat that could satisfy their needs. Most of the time, they had to eat vegetarian food for six meals a day. After all, there was a large amount of vegetarian food, it was difficult to transport, and it wasn't able to fight hunger. As a result, every city collected livestock and used these grains to fill their stomachs.
As a result, starvation broke out wherever this army passed.
Not only did this army run amok in Great Xia, but it also caused panic in many nearby cities. This caused a huge uproar in Great Xia, and Great Xia was badly battered in order to provide relief to the commoners in these five cities.
After the departure of the Dayao army, hundreds of thousands of commoners from the five cities and the surrounding villages rushed into the surrounding cities, causing some chaos in the surrounding cities.
The reason for the chaos was because of food. After all, most of the rations used by Great Xia to support the 700,000 soldiers were transferred from the nearby cities in the south. Many of the cities' granaries used for disaster relief were already empty. When such a thing happened, they were unable to take out any rations that could be used for disaster relief.
They could only rely on the officials to contact some wealthy families to provide porridge.
There was also the notice that Ren Baqian asked Li Qianqiu to put up. Although it seemed like a joke to many scholars, Dayao still dared to ask for compensation? Furthermore, it was directly said when they came to rob. It was as if someone fought with you, beat you up, and demanded that you pay him 100 taels of silver. If you didn't pay, you would be robbed from your house.
What was the difference between this and bandits?
However, resentment arose in the hearts of many commoners.
After all, they had lived a peaceful life, but in the end, they encountered a disaster and had to leave their hometown temporarily. This kind of bone-piercing pain caused resentment to rise in their hearts.
To Dayao and to Great Xia.
…
The return of Li Qianqiu and the winged cavalry was one thing.
The other thing was that the entire family of the warlord of Qingfeng City had been exterminated. The Department of Inspection had snatched some precious treasures from his residence and had already returned to Dayao. They were currently rushing to the Protectorate of the South to hand over the treasures to the empress.
Both of these things were good news. Although the value of the treasures hadn't been calculated, it wouldn't be too low.
It would be enough to start some construction work after returning.
At this moment, Ren Baqian was standing in the empress's imperial carriage. He lifted the curtains and could already see the army that was lined up and waiting in formation.
There were thousands of fierce-looking, bald, burly men who were bare-chested and only had a piece of animal skin wrapped diagonally from his left shoulder to his right waist.
They looked more like bandits than an army.
However, Dayao's army was like this, and they were used to it.
This time, they finally arrived at their destination.
