Ren Baqian had always known that Tong Zhengye wasn't a good person, but he didn't expect him to be like this. This was beyond his imagination.
Ren Baqian was dumbfounded.
(; oдO)
The empress was almost the same.
Σ (⊙ ▽ ⊙ "a)
After all, Tong Zhengye had done such a big thing, so it was normal for him to feel awkward for a moment.
However, Tong Zhengye looked calm and collected.
"Sir Tong, what are you doing?" Ren Baqian hesitated and asked cautiously.
"It tastes good!" Tong Zhengye waved the toothpaste in his hand. "It can even produce foam. I have a box of it in my residence!"
"I'm not talking about this. Sir Tong, what were you doing just now?" Ren Baqian gestured.
"I went to relieve myself in the morning, but a blind dog bit me!" Tong Zhengye had a wretched look on his face.
Ren Baqian heaved a sigh of relief.
However, he thought about it again and realized that it wasn't right. Tong Zhengye said it was in the morning, but the sun was already high above their heads!
The people in this world did not have the habit of sleeping in the wee hours of the morning and waking up at noon. If they said it was morning, then it was really morning. They usually woke up at around four o 'clock, cleaned up and had something to eat. At around six o' clock, they had to go to the palace and attend court at seven o 'clock.
"Sir Tong, it's noon now!" Ren Baqian pointed to the top of his head.
"I want to see if its teeth are harder or my spear is sharper!" Tong Zhenye's face was full of pride!
At this moment, Ren Baqian finally knew from whom Tong Lan learned how to raise her small face and put on an arrogant expression.
"Then, it was the whole morning?"
Tong Zhengye waved at Ren Baqian, grabbed him by the neck, and walked out while whispering, "Hey, Zhao Prince Consort, let me tell you. This thing looks scary and has a mouth full of fangs, but it doesn't have any in its throat. Instead, it keeps sucking. I reckon that this thing is used to swallowing things in its stomach. It looks scary and quite comfortable! "
Ren Baqian: (◎ _ ◎;)
This time, even God won't be able to save you!
Are you whispering to me with that voice of yours? Why do I hear that you are showing off?
The clouds behind the empress had turned into a typhoon …
Ren Baqian could clearly feel that the surrounding air pressure had dropped. He hurriedly jumped ten meters away to keep a distance from Tong Zhenye.
Unexpectedly, the empress didn't flare up. Before the storm swept out, she withdrew it. Ignoring Tong Zhenye, she said faintly, "I want to fish!"
"I'll get a fishing rod for Her Majesty!" Ren Baqian had a bad feeling about this.
"No need." The empress smiled at Tong Zhenye and said, "Minister of Works, I want to fish. I'll have to trouble you to be the bait!"
"Eh? Huh? "Tong Zhenye's tone sounded like an exclamation mark!
In the next second, the empress kicked Tong Zhenye to the ground. Then, she lifted his calf and threw his upper body into the river. Seeing that he was trying to move, she kicked him. Tong Zhenye immediately lost all his strength.
Other than the calf that the empress was holding onto, his entire body was submerged in the water.
After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the empress threw Tong Zhenye out of the river. He was 400 kilograms when he went into the water, and when he came back up, he became 300 kilograms. His body was covered with those strange, black, snake-like fish.
After fishing for an afternoon, they caught more than 2,000 kilograms of strange fish. One of them was six to seven meters long and was thicker than a bucket. It could swallow Tong Zhenye directly … If it really swallowed him, the consequences would be obvious.
That night, Ren Baqian and the others ate that strange fish!
Even though this strange fish didn't look very good, its flesh was extremely tender and had very few bones. It was very praiseworthy.
In particular, Ren Baqian discovered that the worms on the strange fish could add a lot of flavor to the soup, and their effects were similar to chicken essence.
This was because Ren Baqian cleaned the fish that he and the empress caught. After cooking it, he found that Tong Zhenye's fish was much more delicious. He could smell that it was different from his own fish from afar.
At first, he thought that it was because the fish was too big, which made the taste worse. After trying it out, he realized that the problem was actually with the worms on the strange fish.
At first, Ren Baqian was prepared to kill as many strange fish as possible in the river, but he changed his mind at this time.
This fish tasted good, contained a lot of energy, and had very few bones. The aboriginals who didn't like to eat fish should be able to accept it.
Besides, weren't those little worms the best chicken essence?
These two kinds of creatures had a lot of value in breeding.
Naturally, Ren Baqian wasn't thinking about how to make money. Instead, he was thinking about how to rely on these things to drive a batch of industries and support a lot of people.
Although he had a lot of things that could drive a batch of industries, these were more suitable for the aboriginals.
Ren Baqian had always intended to lure the aboriginals out of the Sixty Thousand Mountains. However, the aboriginals were different from the ordinary people who had lived on the plains for decades. They were more ferocious, and they were naturally very good at fighting, hunting, and even killing. If they weren't too scattered, they could be directly used as elite soldiers.
However, they were much worse in other aspects, especially in terms of their ferocious temperaments.
The people of Lan City were also ferocious, but the aboriginals were used to using swords, which could easily cause trouble.
If Ren Baqian wanted to use these aboriginals, he had to first let them get used to life on the plains, which was completely different from fighting and killing in the mountains.
On the other hand, farming was not a bad idea. This river could feed tens of thousands of people without a problem.
Ren Baqian took note of this matter and walked around this remote area with the empress for a few days. He also asked the people from the Ministry of Works to measure the land on the plains between the two rivers before returning.
Just as Ren Baqian returned to the palace, a convoy arrived in Lan City. It was a majestic convoy of hundreds of ox carts. The ruts on each cart were deep, and one could tell at a glance that the carts were filled with goods.
"Military Advisor Qing, is this Lan City? Are we going to this godforsaken place to get food? "The curtain of a carriage was lifted, and a man with a full beard poked his head in.
Qing Lian was holding a book in one hand and drawing something on a wooden board with the other. When she heard Ren Baqian's question, she didn't even raise her head and said, "This is Dayao. Spirit Wheel experts are everywhere, and Earth Wheel experts are like dogs. Perhaps the person who passed by you is an Earth Wheel expert. If they hear what you said, don't expect me to save you! You aren't the only envoy who has died in Lan City over the years! "
"Is it that exaggerated?" The burly man coughed dryly.
He knew that there were many aboriginal experts. The aboriginal commoners he met along the way were all at the Man Wheel level, which was indeed terrifying. However, based on what he had seen and heard along the way, there weren't many Earth Wheel experts either.
Of course, the number of Earth Wheel experts was much higher than that of Great Xia.
However, according to Qing Lian, it was too exaggerated.
"Do you think this is Great Xia? Here, without the strength of a Spirit Wheel expert, one can't even enter the imperial court! "Qing Lian pouted.
"The reason why you saw so few Earth Wheel experts along the way is that most of them have joined the militia and are now busy plundering in the Yun Nation and guarding the captives. But where is this? This is the capital of Dayao!
Let me remind you, look more and talk less. It doesn't matter if you die, but if there is any delay, I will let Kongming Zi summon your soul back and torture it for a hundred years! "
Upon hearing the words "Kongming Zi," the burly man's expression changed slightly. He put down the curtain, turned his head, and muttered a few words.
"Idiot!" Qing Lian moved her lips in the carriage.
She wasn't afraid that he would hear her from outside.
This General Huaiji was really an idiot.
