Ren Baqian had seen the Great Xia army set up camp, and everything had its own set of strict rules.
Every day, the scouts would report back on the suitable location to set up camp. After the commander chose the location, he would use tree trunks and tough branches to build a simple wall to block the enemy's line of defense.
Sometimes, two trenches would be dug outside the camp, or caltrops would be sprinkled to form another line of defense.
Everything in the camp was arranged in an orderly manner. Large pits were dug at regular intervals to serve as toilets.
If Great Xia was a regular army, these rebel soldiers would be reduced to refugees in Ren Baqian's eyes.
Setting up camp? No!
Public toilets? Similarly, no.
Dozens of rebel soldiers surrounded the bonfires below, all of them lying on the ground in a disorderly manner as they rested.
If anyone wanted to go to the toilet, they would do so in the wilderness.
Ren Baqian rubbed his chin. With the quality and morale of these rebel soldiers, a single charge from the Protectorate of the South would probably be enough to defeat them.
After pondering for a while, Ren Baqian turned his attention back to the empress.
At this moment, the two of them were sitting side by side on a tree branch. The surroundings were dark, and the rebel soldiers were noisy at the foot of the mountain. It was quiet on the mountain with the occasional sound of beasts.
Ren Baqian leaned to one side and nudged the empress with his shoulder.
"What's the matter?" The empress opened her eyes and looked over.
"It's nothing." Ren Baqian smiled.
After a while, he nudged the empress with his shoulder again.
The empress narrowed her eyes and looked at him. Her gaze was so clear that it was as if she could see through his heart. She didn't say anything and directly grabbed his collar, lifted him up and shook him until his entire body went limp. Only then did she place him back on the tree branch. She used two fingers to gently clamp his clothes to prevent him from falling down.
Ren Baqian couldn't possibly say that he was just fooling around. His entire body felt numb as he leaned on the empress's shoulder and said, "I just feel that it's pretty good to sit here quietly with Your Majesty!"
"Hmph!" The empress let out two soft snorts.
"The moonlight is so beautiful!"
The empress looked up and saw that the canopy of the surrounding trees blocked most of the sky, so she couldn't see the moon.
She removed two fingers from Ren Baqian's clothes and pulled his face, asking, "Where's the moon?"
"In my heart! Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch … "Ren Baqian was halfway through his sentence when he felt the empress's fingers exerting more force.
After another four hours, it was already late at night. Finally, he received news from the north. Using his binoculars, he observed that there was a place in the north where there were more carriages near the bonfire. He also saw a person who looked like Rao Yu.
After all, women with that kind of body shape were rare, and even rarer in the army.
"That's it." The empress immediately decided.
"Your Majesty, why don't we have Protector-General Xi and the others make a move first and see if they can lure out other fish?"
"Alright!" The empress carried Ren Baqian and landed under a tree. Under the guidance of the person who came, they arrived more than five kilometers to the north and found Xi Wanya and the rest.
Ren Baqian took the binoculars and looked in the direction that they were pointing at. There was a relatively large open space with a bonfire in the middle and many carriages parked around it. The campfire was surrounded by female guards, and there were also people patrolling the area. The security here was much stronger than in other places.
"Rao Yu should be here." Ren Baqian nodded. Among the three factions, the Green Bell Flower had the most women.
"This subject requests for battle!" Qing Ping cupped his fists and said.
"Has the winged cavalry made the arrangements?" the empress asked.
"Your Majesty, it has been arranged!" Gong Zheng, who rushed over, said.
"Approved!" The empress flicked her skirt. The surrounding people seemed to have received a signal and immediately looked murderous.
Qing Ping cupped his fists at the empress. Carrying a "mace" that was 1.2 meters long and 30 centimeters in diameter, he jumped down. First, he approached the other party's carriage. Following which, he leaped tens of meters into the air from a tree. His whole body erupted with vigor, and he smashed down like a meteorite.
As Qing Ping's aura exploded, the carriages below exploded, and figures scuttled out. Among them was a tall and fat woman, Rao Yu. She was carrying a pair of golden scissors and dodged with agility that didn't match her figure.
Boom!
There was a loud sound in the dark night.
With Qing Ping as the center, a large crater with a radius of tens of meters formed. Whether it was the horses or the people inside, they were all turned into minced meat.
"It's Qing Ping! Be careful! "When Rao Yu was running for her life just now, she caught a glimpse of Qing Ping and hurriedly shouted.
"You actually chased after me!" She then asked Qing Ping with an ugly expression.
"Hahahahaha, I'm here to take your head!" Qing Ping stood in the large crater, laughed, and jumped out. With a swing of the mace in his hand, the guards in front of him were swept away like broken dolls.
With a sweep, Qing Ping leaped again and smashed toward Rao Yu.
Ren Baqian looked at Qing Ping's jumping figure from the mountain and felt that he was a jumping barbarian!
Rao Yu nimbly dodged again and then retreated to the back. Two elders blocked Qing Ping's way. "Where are Xi Wanya, Zong Shen, and Qi Zixiao?"
Everyone turned their heads and looked around, trying to find out where the others were.
Everyone knew that Qing Ping couldn't possibly be here alone.
With that, Xi Wanya and Zong Shen walked out of the forest step by step with the aura of a towering mountain. "We are here on Her Majesty's orders to wipe out your traitors. Why aren't you giving up?"
Even though they already knew that Qing Ping wasn't alone, everyone's expression changed when they saw these two people.
There were three Cardinal Heaven experts, and they were the ones in front of them.
Previously in Wu City, it took nine people to fight them to a draw. Now that Qingyun Sword and Zuo Cheng, who had condensed their Heaven-grade weapons, had surrendered to the other party, the remaining six Spirit Wheel experts of the rebel army wouldn't be a match for these three people.
If it weren't for the three strange beasts, these people would have to think of a way to escape.
"The rest of you, come out together! Where's Qi Zixiao? "Four more people appeared beside the two Spirit Wheel experts. Now, all six of them were present.
"You are just a bunch of thieves. Why do you need Her Majesty's help?" Xi Wanya laughed. "I have nothing to say to you. I'm here to take your heads." After saying that, he placed the long-handled broadsword at his side. With a stomp of his foot, the broadsword swept toward the necks of the six people. Only a faint white line could be seen in the night.
These people couldn't even feel the slightest sound of the wind. Seeing this broadsword, their expressions changed drastically and they retreated.
After the broadsword, there was a boom in the air. It was as if even the air had been cut open. At this moment, the air collided with each other.
Zong Shen also made a move at the same time. His body suddenly leaped, and everyone felt that it wasn't a person but a huge saber-toothed tiger that leaped over. The broadsword was the saber-toothed tiger's fangs. If they were slightly slower, they would be buried in the tiger's mouth.
"Die, you traitor." Qing Ping passed two people and rushed toward Rao Yu. At this moment, Rao Yu had already retreated 100 meters. Hundreds of guards stood between them, but as Qing Ping waved his mace in the air, they were sent flying to both sides like broken dolls.
"Tsk, tsk!" Rao Yu's guards were all women with beautiful faces and good figures. Under the hands of this boorish Qing Ping, they couldn't even be seen as human beings.
"Why haven't those three strange beasts come out yet? They can't have run away, right? " Ren Baqian muttered as he watched. With the momentum of the three of them, as long as the other party wasn't too far away, they would immediately be discovered.
With the speed of these experts, it would only take a moment for them to arrive.
