"Death Toad? Is it that gang from Longshou City? "Ren Baqian had heard of the Death Toad when he was in Longshou City, so he immediately thought of it when he heard the name.
He didn't know why these two people followed him here.
"Yes, these two are the chief and deputy chief of the Death Toad. Sir, what you said just now … was a lie, right? "a trembling voice asked.
Normally, the people from the Nine Blades Sect would definitely want to know why these two people were following them. However, they were more concerned about what Ren Baqian said just now.
One had to know that what Ren Baqian said just now was simply too important to them.
If Dayao really wanted to use their troops in Tianjing Basin, they were afraid that blood would flow in this cage eventually.
Other than a few experts who could escape by climbing over the surrounding mountains and cliffs, the rest had nowhere to run.
Now, they only hoped that Ren Baqian was lying to them and completely threw aside the fact that Ren Baqian wanted to take their lives just now.
"Lie to you? Is there a need for me to do that? "Ren Baqian sneered. Tianjing Basin was now like psoriasis to Dayao. If one day, the empress no longer cared about the original agreement and wanted to slaughter these remnant citizens of the Hao Nation, he reckoned that the entire imperial court would raise their hands in approval.
Dayao had never learned how to appease and appease people, and it had never been a country that paid attention to etiquette and benevolence.
To them, killing was the most convenient thing.
Hearing what Ren Baqian said, the people from the Nine Blades Sect were speechless and had an ugly look on their faces.
"Sir, you are here for …" Just now, Ren Baqian had said that he was here for this matter.
Furthermore, with a Spirit Wheel expert by his side, it increased the persuasiveness of his words.
"I am here for this matter. Consider it as giving you a chance to live," Ren Baqian said faintly. If he didn't make this trip, the lives of these remnant citizens of the Hao Nation would depend on the empress's mood.
However, in his eyes, these remnant citizens of the Hao Nation were still somewhat useful.
After all, the aboriginals were too boorish, and their brains were filled with muscles.
A country couldn't only know how to fight wars.
If he wanted to use some other people, these remnant citizens of the Hao Nation would be a better choice.
After all, even if the Yun Nation was conquered in the future, the resistance of the people of the Yun Nation that had just been conquered would probably be even more intense.
In contrast, these remnant citizens of the Hao Nation had been under the rule of Dayao for so many years, and the rule of the aboriginals was deeply ingrained in their bones. This could be seen from the fact that they only dared to make small moves in private and didn't dare to rise up in revolt.
Therefore, these remnant citizens of the Hao Nation were more useful.
Originally, the life and death of these people didn't matter to him, but after seeing their reactions after listening to his words, he changed his mind. It would be better to reveal his identity and make those who were obedient stay behind. With them at his beck and call, he would be able to avoid a lot of trouble during his trip to Tianjing Basin.
At the very least, there wouldn't be another incident like what happened in Longshou City.
If they did well, it would be fine to keep them. In any case, he would definitely need people.
"So it turns out that Milord has come for this matter. We were rash before, I hope Milord does not take offense."
Ren Baqian nodded slightly. These words were pleasing to the ears.
"On account of your tactful behavior," Ren Baqian said halfway through his sentence, but everyone understood what he was implying.
"I was indeed rash. It turns out that we are a family."
Ren Baqian:???
Who's a family with you? Don't you have any shame? The empress and I are a family.
"Milord, even if we want to resist, we don't have enough weapons. Currently, Tianjing Basin is filled with bone knives. Back then, when we came here, the knives and spears were melted down and reforged into kitchen knives. Now, most people here use bone knives. Although they can be sharpened, the aboriginals are strong and heavy. Furthermore, they are wielding steel knives. After a few collisions, the bone knives will break. Therefore, we have always been powerless to resist. Is Milord here with the intention of helping us? "
Ren Baqian:???
Did this group of people misunderstand something?
Are you asking me for weapons to rebel?
"May I know which family in the Yun Nation you are from? Or are you sent by the imperial court? "
Ren Baqian: …
"Someone from Great Xia came a month ago and is currently in the valley. At that time, he said that the Yun Nation would definitely help us. Now that Milord is here, there is such a misunderstanding.
If we have Milord's help, our chances of success will be much higher. There are only three Spirit Wheel experts in the Protectorate of the South. With the Spirit Wheel expert from Great Xia and Milord's companion, it is enough to restrain or even defeat them. The only thing missing now is the weapon. "
Ren Baqian: …
Ren Baqian finally came to his senses. Did this group of people think that he was sent by the Yun Nation to help them resist?
Thinking back, he did say that he was from the Yun Nation. After all, he and Lin Qiaole didn't look like aboriginals. The aboriginals had never used outsiders before him, so they didn't suspect this.
In addition, Lin Qiaole was a Spirit Wheel expert, and he said that he was here to help them. It was no wonder that there was such a misunderstanding.
However, this misunderstanding was a good opportunity.
According to him, someone from Great Xia was here too? Or was it a Spirit Wheel expert? Great Xia wasn't going to stop and wasn't ready to give up.
From what they said, it seemed like they were going to make a big move.
Needless to say, as long as he followed their words, he might even be able to infiltrate the enemy. At the very least, he knew that they were preparing something big. When the time came, he could inform Xi Wanya and get rid of them.
After getting rid of these people who were up to no good, it would be much easier to deal with the remnant citizens of the Hao Nation.
After thinking for a while, Ren Baqian immediately came up with an idea.
"You don't have the right to know my identity. You just need to know that I'm here to help you," Ren Baqian said faintly and put on airs.
In fact, after seeing his posture, this group of people was even more convinced.
This was because the people from Great Xia had the same attitude.
Regardless of whether it was the people from Great Xia or the Yun Nation, they looked at them as if they were looking at stray dogs. It was normal for them to be arrogant.
"Where is that person from Great Xia now?" Ren Baqian asked.
"He went to the Golden Ring Residence previously. His current location isn't something we know." Although the Nine Blades Sect was considered pretty good in the vicinity of Longshou City, it was only a small sect in the entire Tianjing Basin. Naturally, they wouldn't know too much.
"Consider yourselves lucky. If not for the fact that I still need your help this time, none of you will be able to go back after attacking me."
Everyone was drenched in cold sweat. They were really lucky to be able to escape with their lives after attacking a Spirit Wheel expert. When they returned, they would definitely offer incense to the patriarch.
Ren Baqian muttered to himself, "Leave two people behind to guide me. The rest of you can go back."
"Sir, I'll stay behind." The one who spoke was the rather quick-witted man from before. Previously, before everyone could react, he was the first to surrender. At this moment, he was the first to do so.
He also had his own thoughts. Previously, he did it to survive, but now, he wanted to hug Ren Baqian's thigh. As long as he hugged Ren Baqian's thigh, even if the rebellion against the aboriginals failed in the future, he might still be brought away.
Furthermore, when the war started, he wouldn't be sent as cannon fodder to the frontlines.
"Sir, I'll also stay behind to guide you. If there's any trouble, I'll be able to solve it for you." The other person who spoke was the Earth Wheel expert who hadn't made a move since the beginning.
His thoughts were similar. Although an Earth Wheel expert had a higher status, it also depended on which sect he was from.
"The two of you stay behind. The rest of you can get lost. Bring the two people on the ground with you as well." Ren Baqian waved his hand. He couldn't be bothered with why those two people followed him.
There were already more important things to do.
Everyone looked at each other, cupped their fists toward Ren Baqian, and left with their heads lowered.
Only an old Earth Wheel expert and a Man Wheel expert from the Nine Blades Sect were left standing there obediently.
Ren Baqian stretched his back and said to the two people in front of him, "I don't know much about the situation here. This time, I'm only here because I received orders. Tell me what you know."
He didn't expect to encounter such a situation as soon as he entered Tianjing Basin. He was really lucky.
