Just as Su Qing had said, he didn't want to see Dayao sink into the quagmire of Tianjing Basin. Under the pincer attack from all sides, Dayao was likely to collapse.
It would only benefit him if Great Xia suffered another crushing defeat.
Therefore, after everyone left the city, he found an opportunity to see Ren Baqian.
Ren Baqian gave him a thumbs up after hearing this. Even though he, the spy, had left, there was still a snitch. These people from Tianjing Basin didn't die unjustly.
Su Qing smiled modestly at Ren Baqian's gesture of praise.
"I definitely won't forget about our agreement." Ren Baqian cupped his hands and hurriedly went to look for the empress.
In just a few moments, the soldiers of the Protectorate of the South were ready to set off.
Ren Baqian muttered to himself for a while and said, "If you can capture them alive, bring them back alive. Of course, your own safety is the most important. "
Xi Wanya looked at the empress, who nodded and said, "Do as he says."
"Understood!" Xi Wanya cupped his fists at the empress, led everyone on their mounts, and set off under the cover of night. The thunderous hoofbeats alarmed the birds and beasts in the distance, and for a moment, the roars of the beasts lingered in the air.
There were winged cavalry warriors rushing over from the north of Wu City, and Mount Wu was in the west. Most people dispersed towards the south and east before returning to their sects via other routes.
Xi Wanya's 1,000 cavalrymen headed straight for the south.
As for how many people he could catch, that would depend on his luck.
After all, those Earth Wheel experts weren't weaklings. They could hear the hoofbeats of the cavalry from afar and find a place to hide.
Therefore, Xi Wanya and his group headed straight to the south this time. When the sky started to brighten, they began to cast their nets to search for fish.
After they left, the empress asked Ren Baqian, "Previously, you said that you had an agreement with him. What was it?"
Ren Baqian told him about the agreement he had with Su Qing. This was to ensure that the rebellion in the south had not been pacified and that it was dragged into a quagmire. Unless absolutely necessary, the armies of the Protectorate of the South could not be mobilized, and new armies would have to be mobilized to the south.
After all, this wasn't a small matter. This method would cause Great Xia to become restless again. At that time, Dayao would really have to face a pincer attack from three nations.
Therefore, he wasn't confident that the empress would agree.
However, under the circumstances at that time, he couldn't care about anything else.
Therefore, after he finished speaking, he began to think about how the empress would view this matter.
"If Great Xia, the Yun Nation, and the Chen Nation attack together, do you think Dayao can win?" the empress asked.
"Would Her Majesty lose?" Ren Baqian asked.
The empress's cold eyes lit up and a smile appeared on her face. "Of course, I won't lose."
Then he said, "But these are two different things. My army has to face the other three countries as enemies. The continuous war has put a lot of pressure on all aspects of the country."
"We will win. Of course we will. As long as Tianjing Basin was stabilized, there would be nothing to worry about. The Chen Nation and the Yun Nation wouldn't pose too much of a threat to them. They only had to be careful of Great Xia.
However, we don't need to face the entire Great Xia, just one of their armies. As long as we accumulate our strength and wait for Great Xia to extend its claws again, we can quickly cut them off. At that time, Great Xia will be in chaos, "Ren Baqian said.
"We have radio stations and walkie-talkies. We can contact various places on the battlefield at any time and keep abreast of the situation in various places. Whether it's the command and deployment of the nation's armies or the command of the generals and soldiers, we can command them with ease.
We have binoculars and drones. Similarly, in terms of reconnaissance, we can figure out the other party's every move in advance. Coupled with the walkie-talkies, we can easily find and defeat the other party's weaknesses.
Most importantly, we have brave soldiers who can fight ten enemies at once.
As long as the logistics can be guaranteed, there's no reason for us to lose, "Ren Baqian said resolutely.
"You're right." The empress nodded.
"If it was before, 100 million taels of silver would have been enough for me to make up my mind. However, I always feel that with you around, 100 million taels of silver isn't an unattainable figure. Am I right? "The empress smiled, which was rare for her. She smiled very happily.
"Your Majesty is right." Ren Baqian smiled as well. The empress's trust in him made him feel very warm.
Both of them looked at each other and smiled. Under this tranquil moonlight, both of them felt very relaxed. Nighttime allowed people to let go of a lot of things.
Ren Baqian twisted his body and sat beside the empress. Both of their shoulders gently leaned against each other. Ren Baqian took a whiff of the empress's strong fragrance of tuberose and used his fingers to brush aside a strand of her hair.
The empress didn't mind such an intimate action anymore.
Both of their hearts were very soft. It was as if they were the only two people in the world. The sounds of birds and beasts in the distance seemed to have disappeared.
On the contrary, a few guards not far away looked at both of them from time to time before looking up at the sky. Today's moonlight was really beautiful.
"There's the smell of red braised meat on your body. I'm hungry …" The empress suddenly used her shoulder to nudge him and said.
Ren Baqian, "…"
Your Majesty, do you know that you're spoiling the mood?
Give me back that gentle and charming atmosphere just now!!!
Ren Baqian looked at the empress for a long time, but she didn't feel guilty at all. She looked at him confidently with a face that said, "I'm hungry, go and cook!"
After looking at each other for a long time, Ren Baqian couldn't help but admit defeat. He sighed and asked the soldiers to clear away the unfinished meat for him to roast for the empress.
The empress looked at his busy back and smiled again. Her smile was a little sweet.
This was a smile that Ren Baqian had never seen before. Unfortunately, he didn't see it because his back was facing the empress.
"I'm hungry too …" Lin Qiaole squatted on a tree and said. The two of them were too smelly, but they didn't feel it. She couldn't bear it anymore and could only hide far away.
After eating supper, the empress rested on a wooden couch that emitted a fragrant smell of wood. Ren Baqian lay on the lawn not far away and looked at the night sky. Unknowingly, he had fallen into a deep sleep.
He dreamed of his wedding with the empress … dreamed of entering the bridal chamber … Ren Baqian was filled with excitement. The empress blushed shyly and wanted to reject him. Half of her breasts were exposed …
At this moment, he was awakened by the crisp chirping of a bird.
Ren Baqian opened his eyes abruptly. The sky had already started to brighten. He wanted to close his eyes and continue dreaming, but he realized that he couldn't continue at all. Furthermore, the dream was getting more and more blurry!
"Damn it, just a little more." Ren Baqian's face turned black. Just a little more, just a little more, just a little more, just a little more …
He inadvertently turned his head to look at the empress and saw her leaning on the wooden couch, looking at him with clear eyes. He didn't know if she hadn't slept for the whole night or just woke up.
"I feel that you are thinking of some disrespectful ideas," the empress said.
"Your Majesty, I'm more wronged than Dou E," Ren Baqian said with an aggrieved look. He conveniently changed his posture and bent down to hide something.
If the empress knew about his dream, he would really be hung on the Southeast branch.
The empress curled her lips and ignored him.
"It's daybreak. Let's begin to reel in the net."
Ren Baqian said.
The harvest would depend on this net.
The others were still fine, but it was better to capture the people from the Southern Metropolis and the Green Bell Flower as soon as possible.
…
Xi Wanya sat on the saber-toothed tiger and ordered, "Send 40 teams with 20 people each. Spread out and search. If you discover any enemies, immediately shout and contact me."
"Yes!"
Following the response, more than 1,000 people immediately spread out and began to search along the farmland on both sides of the dirt road.
The rest of the people followed behind Xi Wanya as they slowly made their way toward Wu City.
Not long after, Ren Baqian looked into the distance with a bloody smile on his face and said, "There's prey."
