"What are you smelling?" Ren Baqian couldn't help but ask when he saw Lin Qiaole sniffing his body.
In fact, for the past two days, he had noticed that Lin Qiaole especially liked to sleep next to him. Every day when she woke up, she would walk around him and sniff him.
If it weren't for Lin Qiaole, Ren Baqian would have suspected that his charm was off the charts.
"Oh, it smells good and fragrant!" Lin Qiaole was a little intoxicated.
Ren Baqian smelled himself suspiciously. The perfume had already been given to the empress, and now, there was only a very diluted stench on his body. However, those winged cavalry warriors had intentionally distanced themselves from him for the past two days. How could Lin Qiaole say that he smelled good?
Could it be that Lin Qiaole liked the smell of stinky tofu?
What a strange hobby …
He didn't know if she liked smelly socks and feet that hadn't been washed for a month. If she did, he could satisfy her.
Everyone rested for less than an hour before continuing their journey. After another half a day, they finally arrived at the Golden Ring Residence and could see the mountain gate from afar.
…
At this time, a group of people were busy packing up their things in the Golden Ring Residence. They didn't even care about the small items that fell to the ground. It was a chaotic scene everywhere as if they were fleeing for their lives.
Zhan Changkong looked at everything in the residence with some reluctance on his face.
However, he understood very well that they couldn't stay in the north. The army of the Protectorate of the South was heading south. It would only take a few days to reach here, and they wouldn't be able to defend themselves no matter what. Only by reaching the south, gathering many sects, recruiting more soldiers, and relying on the steep terrain would they barely be able to resist the winged cavalry.
However, he didn't have much hope that they could resist the winged cavalry.
"In my opinion, why don't we go over Mount Wangduan, go to the Chen Nation, and then make a detour to the Yun Nation?" Painting Fairy suggested.
"I can go, you can go, but they can't," Zhan Changkong said in a deep voice.
Mount Wangduan, Heartbroken.
Even though they could cross the Earth Wheel level, they could only carry one more person.
At most, a dozen of them could escape. What about the rest?
Some of the people in the residence had grandfathers and fathers who were disciples of the Golden Ring Residence and had served the residence for generations.
How could he abandon them and escape alone?
"Father, are we really leaving?" Zhan Caixian walked over from the courtyard and asked reluctantly. She was still hugging her beloved vase.
"I'll be back." How could Zhan Changkong be willing to leave? How could he be willing to give up his foundation? However, the Golden Ring Residence didn't have any power that could resist the aboriginal army. Furthermore, there weren't any precipitous terrain. How could they defend it?
"Manor Lord, bad news! Manor Lord! "
"Why are you in such a panic?" Zhan Changkong frowned.
"The ancient race is here! We're not far from the mountain gate! "
"So fast? Bring Xian 'er away! I'll bring people to face the enemy! " Zhan Changkong was taken aback at first. To think that the Ancient race had arrived faster than he had expected. He had only been back for two days, and the Ancient race had already arrived.
Now was not the time to hesitate. He instructed Painting Fairy and strode forward. Halfway through, he stopped and said, "If I die, take Xian Er and leave. The further, the better. Go to the Yun Nation or Great Xia. Don't think about revenge!"
"Father?" Zhan Caixian cried out in alarm.
Painting Fairy revealed a mournful expression. However, she had wandered in the underworld before and wasn't wishy-washy. She pulled Zhan Caixian and was about to leave the mountain.
When the Golden Ring Residence was first built, they had considered the possibility of foreign enemies invading. As such, there were arrow towers in the residence, which were also dark alleys for people to hide in. Even though he didn't know how useful they would be, Zhan Changkong still made arrangements for everyone and brought a few attendants to the mountain gate.
On the horizon ahead, a group of cavalrymen was advancing. They weren't fast, but everyone's hearts tightened.
Regardless of which sect it was, there was no one who wouldn't feel fear when faced with the approaching aboriginal cavalry. They weren't afraid of that group of cavalrymen, but of what they represented.
"Manor Lord, it's the winged cavalry …" someone said with a deathly pale face after looking around for a long time.
Once this was said, everyone was terrified.
"Let the young disciples leave … Attendant Chu, you leave too," Zhan Changkong said. Since it was the winged cavalry that had arrived, those young disciples wouldn't be of much use. Even the people around them wouldn't be of any use. Since that was the case, it was better to let the young disciples leave and leave some seeds behind.
As for Attendant Chu, even though his martial arts weren't the best, he had the most diverse knowledge and could pass down as many martial arts techniques as possible.
"As for the rest …" Zhan Changkong turned around and looked at the people behind him with an apologetic gaze. Someone had to stay behind to buy time for the rest.
"We will advance and retreat together with the manor lord!" a attendant shouted.
"After staying in the residence for decades, I'm old now. I can't move anymore and don't want to leave!" another attendant said with a smile.
"After keeping them for decades, we'll get rid of them one last time! Damn it! " Another deacon with a pale face and scholarly appearance said in a coarse voice. This deacon was originally a bandit from a mountain. Later on, he robbed the Golden Ring Residence and his entire stronghold was destroyed. It wasn't easy for him to escape with his life.
In the end, he decided to climb back up from where he had fallen and actually entered the Golden Ring Residence. He stayed there for decades and even became an attendant.
Zhan Changkong looked at everyone with tears in his eyes. He pursed his lips and said, "I'm not alone in this life! I'm not alone! "
Everyone laughed. Even the strong enemies in the distance weren't that scary anymore. It was just death.
He wasn't alone in this life, and he would have company on the road to the underworld.
As the cavalry approached, Zhan Changkong could already see the people in front and Ren Baqian in the crowd.
"I've been deceived by him!" Zhan Changkong was somewhat indignant. If it weren't for him, they wouldn't have reached such a state and Chief Elder wouldn't have died in battle. It was that woman beside him who bit Chief Elder to death. Every time he thought of this, his heart was filled with regret.
He didn't expect that he would be the one to annihilate the Golden Ring Residence. When he thought of how he almost gave his daughter to Ren Baqian, he simply wanted to laugh. His laughter was filled with sorrow and indignation.
When they were about 100 meters away from the mountain gate, Ren Baqian asked the troops to stop.
At this moment, there were more than 30 people standing at the mountain gate. Other than the seven or eight Earth Wheel experts at the front, the rest were all Man Wheel experts.
With such strength, it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot in front of the winged cavalry.
Ren Baqian clamped the fork-horned cow's abdomen, and it slowly moved forward and stopped in front of the troops.
"You actually have the cheek to stand here! I was really blind back then! "Zhan Changkong scolded.
"I purposely came here to give you a way out. Otherwise, the Golden Ring Residence wouldn't need me to summon you." Ren Baqian shook his head.
"Surrender! All of you just want to go out. In fact, this is what I want to do. It's such a waste to leave so many people in Tianjing Basin unused. This time, I came here with the intention of letting the people of Tianjing Basin gradually go out and live together with the aboriginals. Isn't that what all of you want to see? "
"Stop with your flowery words. I won't surrender even if I have to die. If you have the ability, come and take my head yourself! "a white-faced deacon scolded angrily.
Ren Baqian had some impression of this person as he was one of the deacons in the inner sanctum.
Although he looked like a gigolo, he was actually very boorish.
However, he still looked like a gigolo at the age of 50 or 60, which really made people envious.
"A monk doesn't lie. I'm the principal of the Black Bamboo Academy and a Secondary class, Rank 4 official. Why would I lie to you ruffians? Moreover, if I wanted to, I could flatten the Golden Ring Residence in minutes. Under such circumstances, why would I waste my breath to deceive all of you?
This is the only way out for all of you! "
"I presume that you have already arranged for people to leave through the mountains?" Ren Baqian asked faintly. Since the other party was already waiting at the entrance, they definitely wouldn't leave everyone in the residence to die.
"Send 100 people to the mountains to capture everyone," Ren Baqian said to the people behind him. "Keep them alive. If they resist, break their limbs, but keep them alive!"
"You traitor, you will die a horrible death!" Someone in the crowd cursed angrily. The people in the residence had just left not long ago, so how could they escape the pursuit of 100 Earth Wheel experts?
Ren Baqian tilted his head and realized that he had become the big devil that everyone hated.
Speaking of which, he came to the community to send warmth.
These people were really … kind-hearted, yet they were f * cked by dogs …
"Are you surrendering? If you surrender, as long as you don't go against the imperial court in the future and know your place, I will naturally guarantee your safety. If you want to leave Tianjing Basin, you just need to apply for a temporary identification card and a temporary residence permit. You can even go to Lan City and live under the emperor's rule.
If you don't surrender, I will be kind enough to let your whole family stay together. Even if he runs away to Great Xia, I will find him and send him to reunite with all of you.
What's that saying again? The most important thing for a family is to stay together!
If one or two of you are missing, it will be too cruel! "
"Dear benefactors, the sea of bitterness is boundless, repent, and the shore is at hand!
Now, are you going to surrender or not? Or will you only regret it when everyone's heads are placed here? " Ren Baqian had been speaking lightly, but when he reached the last two sentences, his voice became stern and his eyebrows raised.
"Are you going to surrender!"
"Are you going to surrender!"
"Are you going to surrender!"
The 100 winged cavalry warriors behind him shouted at the same time, and their voices shook the sky.
Under the protection of 100 winged cavalry warriors, Ren Baqian was like a devil king.
Everyone at the mountain gate was prepared to die and felt that they were fearless. However, under this pressure, they were moved and subconsciously took a step back.
