The heavy rain hit the dense leaves and flowed down. There wasn't a dry spot in the entire forest.
The rain didn't cool down the air at all. Instead, it made people feel humid and hot.
These days had been going on for some time.
It was never easy to travel in the mountains during the rainy season.
Ren Baqian and the empress were squeezed into a triangular building made of tree branches.
Although it was called a building, it was just a temporary camp made of tree branches that were placed in two directions to block the rain.
Sitting on the ground covered with animal skins, Ren Baqian said complacently, "My craftsmanship isn't bad."
The empress glanced at the narrow space. There was almost no space left for the two of them to sit in. Even a child could easily make this kind of temporary camp. She didn't know what he was so proud of.
"Although it looks simple and crude, it's technically good to be able to make it waterproof." As Ren Baqian spoke, he felt a drop of water on his neck.
However, he couldn't say it out loud.
He couldn't embarrass himself.
The empress was silent.
Just now, she had already felt a few drops of rain on her back.
There didn't seem to be much difference between here and outside.
Looking up into the distance, her line of sight was completely blocked by the dense forest. Even though this was a relatively high slope, her line of sight was still blocked.
Although she couldn't see anything, Qiulong Cliff, where the Ya Family was located, was only a day's journey away.
It took them less than two months to get here. After losing their mounts, they had to walk in the mountains for three and a half months before returning.
It was now August. According to the schedule, the wedding of the empress and the empress would be held five months ago. However, they were still trekking in the mountains at this time.
However, at present, the imperial court was already busy preparing for the postponed wedding of the empress, which was scheduled to take place in four months.
Two hours later, the sky cleared up after the rain, and everyone set off again.
Walking out of the forest, they saw figures standing on the top of the mountain in front of them. They immediately cheered when they saw everyone coming out of the forest.
After another hour, everyone gathered at the foot of the mountain.
"Xiao Ya, you are finally back." Qi Ziting was holding his crutches, and his loud voice could be heard from afar.
"Your Majesty!" Standing beside him was Xi Wanya, the Protector General of the South who had been transferred over.
There were seven or eight Cardinal Heaven experts behind them. Other than Ba Man and Xiong Yue, who he had seen before, the rest were unfamiliar faces.
As for the winged cavalry, they were nowhere to be seen. It seemed like they had been left behind in the Ya Family Village.
Qi Ziting led many winged cavalry warriors to look for the herdsmen, but he didn't expect them to take a detour to attack the empress. In the end, they were neutralized by Ren Baqian's nuclear bomb. After contacting the empress through the radio and confirming that she was fine, Qi Ziting brought his men back to the Ya Family Village to wait.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Everyone cupped their fists in greeting.
The empress raised her head and looked into the distance as she said, "It's still a day's journey away, and you guys have already come out to welcome us."
"The sooner I see Xiao Ya, the sooner I can relax." Qi Ziting sized up the empress and then looked at the winged cavalry behind her. There were still about 200 of them.
It was one-third less than before.
However, after thinking about the attack that they had experienced, it was already a miracle that so many of them were still alive.
"I didn't expect them to attack you directly. That talking thing from before didn't say it clearly. I'll tell you how you guys fought in a while." Qi Ziting was always very interested in talking about war.
Even if the empress was only attacked this time.
Following Qi Ziting's words, the winged cavalry warriors behind him all looked at Ren Baqian.
It had to be said that this Principal Ren was always able to surprise and even scare people.
"Your Majesty, I'm relieved to see you." Xi Wanya waited for Qi Ziting to finish speaking before saying, "Your Majesty, you have stayed in the mountains for too long and even missed your wedding … Please return to the court as soon as possible."
"I know! I'll go to the Ya Family Village to rest for two days before returning. "The empress waved her hand. She knew that she had been away for too long without the others being long-winded.
It had been one year and one month since then.
It would still take one and a half to two months for her to return.
The following day, Qi Ziting tried to threaten Ren Baqian to throw a nuclear bomb along the way after finding out the whole story.
Ren Baqian wanted to punch him in the head with the iron fist of socialism.
Not only him, but Xi Wanya and the other Cardinal Heaven experts who rushed over from afar were also looking forward to it.
Fortunately, even though they were rude, they knew the gravity of the matter and didn't dare to speak up like Qi Ziting.
Ren Baqian felt that he would be a fool if he used this thing to set off fireworks.
"I want to see it too." The empress looked at Ren Baqian expectantly. She hadn't seen that scene in the cave previously, so she wanted to see with her own eyes what kind of Mo Yang it was.
However, after seeing the empress's eyes, Ren Baqian decided to be a fool for once.
"In that case, I'll set off a firework for Your Majesty!" Back then, Zhuge Liang used a beacon to make fun of the feudal vassals just to make Yang Guifei smile. Would he be reluctant to use a firework today?
In any case, the nation has given me an opening. If I can get the first one, I can get the second one. Besides, I won't be able to use the nuclear bomb when I go back this time. I still have to find a place to keep it, Ren Baqian comforted himself.
Everyone stood on the mountain peak and stared at Ren Baqian.
He slowly opened the box and took out a cylinder from inside.
"Is this the thing? I don't see anything special about it. "Qi Ziting looked it up and down. He even grabbed it and touched it for a long time before throwing it back to Ren Baqian.
Ren Baqian caught it with a fake smile, turned around, and threw it into the distance. The cylinder drew a parabola as it fell down the mountain.
Everyone raised their spirits and waited, but there was no reaction. They looked at Ren Baqian with a puzzled look.
They saw Ren Baqian open his bag and take out two pairs of sunglasses. He handed one to the empress and put the other on himself.
Qi Ziting suddenly became interested and said, "This thing is interesting."
Ren Baqian felt the bridge of his nose become empty as the sunglasses fell into Qi Ziting's hands.
Is this guy a bearded man? Ren Baqian cursed in his heart.
If you weren't my brother-in-law … I would definitely let you see what the Saint Seiya of the empress was like.
Ren Baqian withdrew his hand that was holding the remote control into his sleeve and didn't dare to let Qi Ziting see it again.
"It's best not to look directly at it," Ren Baqian warned everyone. Everyone raised their spirits, knowing that it was about to begin.
Looking at the group of Cardinal Heaven experts attentively watching the impact of the nuclear bomb, Ren Baqian felt that this distance shouldn't be enough to blind them. Without hesitation, he pressed the remote control.
In front of everyone's eyes, a spot of light began to expand as if a sun was growing out of the ground. It then grew bigger and bigger, and the dazzling light made everyone's eyes hurt.
Boom! Accompanied by a huge explosion, the whole mountain trembled, making people wonder if the mountain would collapse.
Strong winds swept across.
A huge mushroom cloud rose into the sky.
When everyone regained their vision, they saw a mushroom cloud slowly rising into the sky.
When everyone looked down, they saw that it was no longer the same as before.
The soil, trees, and rocks had all disappeared.
All that was left was a huge pit, a shattered forest in the distance, and a raging flame at the edge of the pit.
Without hesitation, everyone jumped down from the mountain to take a look. The air was filled with scorching heat and an inexplicable smell.
The closer they got, the more they could feel the amazing power of the explosion.
In particular, the pit in the middle and the layer of soil that had been scraped off at the edge couldn't be believed to have been done by that little thing.
Everyone looked at the pit and then at Ren Baqian in horror.
