Early in the morning, more than 100 disciples of the Golden Ring Residence stood together with their hands tied with ropes.
In fact, these ropes weren't used to imprison them, but rather to remind them of their identities.
In front of 200 winged cavalry warriors, a hundred people would at most be turned into a pile of blood after a single charge. Previously, when Ren Baqian asked them to copy a secret manual for the inheritance of the Golden Ring Residence, they were relieved and naturally wouldn't do anything too unwise.
Zhan Caixian was standing among this group of people. A few days ago, she was still the daughter of the chief of the Golden Ring Residence and was doted on by everyone. Now, she had become a prisoner. This sudden change in identity, coupled with the experience of escaping and being captured, made her grow up a lot overnight.
Occasionally, she turned to look at the disciples in the residence and saw that most of them looked dejected.
No one spoke. More than 100 people stood there and barely made a sound.
Zhan Caixian heard footsteps and saw Ren Baqian at the entrance of the courtyard.
The last time she saw him, he was still an envoy from the Yun Nation. He knew how to roast delicious food and teach her the erhu. She had never been in contact with a man day and night, and she even started to like him.
However, this time around, he was an official of Dayao and the husband of the empress, Qi Zixiao.
It was because of him that her family had fallen into such a plight. It was also because of him that she could reunite with her parents and didn't have to worry about losing her life.
This gave her an indescribable feeling.
This feeling was very complicated, and she couldn't describe it. She didn't know whether it was hatred or not. She didn't even know how to hate someone and what it was like to hate someone.
"Did he see me?" Zhan Caixian seemed to see Ren Baqian's gaze lingering on her face for a moment. Her heart skipped a beat, and she lowered her head slightly.
"Why did he come to the Golden Ring Residence? The closest sect to Wu City is the Lingshan Sect, which is also the biggest sect in Tianjing Basin. Not only is the Golden Ring Residence ranked last among the eight big sects, but it's also very far away. Why did he come here? "Zhan Caixian lowered her head and began to let her imagination run wild.
Ren Baqian swept his gaze across the crowd and indeed saw her, but he didn't stop at all.
To him, this little girl was somewhat interesting and pitiful. Furthermore, she was the only successor of his erhu. At least she had a pair of sharp ears and could tell that his erhu sounded nice. A bosom friend, a high mountain and flowing water! Yu Boya and Zhong Zi Qi!
Just because of this, he had to personally make a trip to the Golden Ring Residence, lest others came over and killed everyone in the Golden Ring Residence.
Therefore, it wasn't wrong to say that he was here for her.
It was just that there was no romantic love between them.
Now that he knew that she wasn't dead, he could put his worries to rest.
In the future, the Erhu World will depend on you to make it flourish.
"We'll head back first. Bring them back to Wu City. The reinforcements from the Protectorate of the South should be arriving soon. Keep an eye out for them. If there are cities that rebel and the Protectorate of the South's attack isn't going well, you can send people to help them according to the situation, "Ren Baqian said as he walked.
Two hundred people didn't seem like much. However, 200 Earth Wheel level winged cavalry warriors could do a lot of things.
Fifty people were enough to escort them to Wu City.
In Tianjing Basin, 50 people could even break through a small city.
"Understood!" The winged cavalry captain cupped his fists and replied.
"As for the food and drinks along the way, let Zhan Changkong arrange it himself. I'm sure he'll arrange for good men to bring you food along the way. "
"In addition, since they've surrendered, I might need them in the future. As long as they don't rebel, don't bother with them. If they really want to rebel, kill one person for each rebellion. If more than half of them rebel, kill all of them and report to me. However, I don't think this will happen. "Ren Baqian turned his head and looked at the people in the courtyard.
"Go back and make the arrangements." Ren Baqian waved his hand after he finished speaking, and the captain immediately withdrew.
Ren Baqian first brought some people back to Wu City as there were still many things that needed to be dealt with.
The fifty winged cavalry warriors escorted these people and plundered their belongings and set off at the same time. However, their speed was much slower, so they had to split into two groups.
At present, there were only 100 winged cavalry warriors in the residence. The rest had been sent out two days ago to wipe out the surrounding small sects like the Nine Blades Sect.
…
A week later, Ren Baqian returned to Wu City again. From afar, he could see the original guards of Wu City, which surprised him a little. He didn't know if something had happened.
When he arrived at the city gate, he found that the original guards of Wu City were inspecting the city. A few winged cavalry warriors were standing on top of the city wall with their arms crossed. When they saw that Ren Baqian had returned, they hurriedly went back to report.
After half a month, Wu City had more or less regained some liveliness. At the very least, some pedestrians could be seen walking in the city. However, they lowered their heads and walked very quickly, as if they were afraid of attracting attention.
As for the shops in the city, they were open. Occasionally, one or two people would go in to buy something and then leave in a hurry.
After returning to the residence, Ren Baqian first went to see the empress. Seeing that she was talking to Xi Wanya, Ren Baqian knocked on the door sill, strode in, and said, "Your Majesty, I'm back."
The empress glanced at him and said to Xi Wanya, "You may leave first."
After Xi Wanya left, Ren Baqian smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I missed you so much!"
The empress picked up a fruit and asked faintly, "How did it go?"
"Everything went smoothly."
"There's no more sugar."
"I got it. I will go back tonight. Your Majesty, do you want to take a stroll? "After saying this, Ren Baqian moved closer to the empress and sniffed.
The empress pressed her palm on his nose. "What are you doing?"
"The smell has finally dissipated." Ren Baqian laughed. At this time, the empress's body had regained its original body fragrance.
It would have been better if Ren Baqian hadn't mentioned this, but the empress's face immediately turned black.
If it wasn't for him, how could that have happened? Every time she thought about it, she wanted to bury Ren Baqian in the wall, leaving only his head outside so that she could casually hit him to vent her anger.
"Over the past two days, many people have been sent to the city. You decide how to deal with them. Kill those who deserve to be killed," the empress said in a cold tone. The empress spoke in a cold tone. She didn't really care about the life and death of those people. However, it seemed like Ren Baqian had some plans for them.
"I will go and deal with it now. I still have some hotpot seasonings. Why don't we have hotpot tonight? "
"Alright!"
Ren Baqian bade farewell to the empress and went out to inquire about the recent events.
There were a few things that had happened. The three major factions had revolted, and many sects had joined in. This increased the number of Earth Wheel experts in the three major factions, and there were even some Spirit Wheel experts in charge.
Fortunately, Ren Baqian had arranged for people to persuade the Lingshan Sect and some other sects to surrender. The area around these sects was basically calm and peaceful.
Currently, there were only a few cities in the north rebelling, and it wasn't a big deal.
On the contrary, the south of Wu City was almost united. Some of the sects in the north were also clear that the north wasn't a big deal, and staying in the north would only lead to death. After returning from Wu City, they brought their entire sects to the south and strengthened the power of the three major factions.
When Ren Baqian heard this news, he stood there for a while before asking someone to call Qingyun Sword over. "Do you know about the three major factions revolting?"
Qingyun Sword nodded silently.
"Arrange for people to contact those sects. If an individual participates, nine familial exterminations will be carried out.
If more than one-third of the sects participate, the entire sect will be slaughtered.
Give them one month to report to Wu City.
Those who don't arrive within the time limit will be killed. If they are late by one day, they will die! "
"This one-third number is divided into Man Wheel and Earth Wheel experts. As long as there is one-third of the Man Wheel experts, the entire sect will be annihilated. Even if there are only three Earth Wheel experts in the sect, if one of them participates in the rebellion, regardless of whether the other Man Wheel experts or Earth Wheel experts are involved, the entire sect will be turned into ashes.
If they want to save their lives, kill the rebels and report to Wu City.
I will ensure their safety. "
After hearing Ren Baqian's words, Qingyun Sword immediately raised his head and said, "This is too overbearing. After all, many sects have people in military positions. You are forcing them to their deaths!"
"That's their business. Otherwise, how would I know if they aren't stepping on two fence-sitters? Moreover, I don't want to spend too much effort on them. What I want is the people of Tianjing Basin. As for these practitioners, I have already given them a way to live. Whether they can grasp it or not is their own business. "
"If they want to live, I think it won't be difficult to kill them unintentionally, right?"
"Well, on account of the fact that some of their sects have joined the rebellion, some of them may not be willing to wallow in the mire with the others, but they are willing to turn over a new leaf in this filthy land. I will also give such people a chance. You just need to bring the head of a fellow disciple of the same level. Remember, it must be a fellow disciple. You can't just casually kill someone. "
"This is called proof of allegiance!"
After Ren Baqian finished speaking, Qingyun Sword stared at him fiercely and was speechless. His face was full of pain.
Vicious, too vicious.
