"Why didn't I know about such an important matter?" Ren Baqian put his hands on his knees and looked at the two men in front of him calmly.
"Your Highness, Her Majesty's news came directly from the Protectorate of the Northeast, and we had to wait one and a half days for the messenger bird to arrive," one of the men said with an aggrieved look.
"Directly from the Protectorate of the Northeast? Who are you? What are you responsible for? What are you doing? Why wasn't there any news of such an important matter? Didn't you notice any clues? What's the use of you people then? Are you useless? " Ren Baqian's voice became calmer, and his face remained calm. However, his words were merciless, and the sweat on the heads of the two men increased.
"Please calm down, Your Highness. We didn't do our job well! Please give us another chance. We will definitely get to the bottom of this matter! "The two of them didn't dare to argue anymore and said.
"Calm down? Her Majesty is angry. What can I do to appease her? "Ren Baqian snorted and looked at the two men gloomily.
"We didn't do our job well!"
"Hmph." Ren Baqian sat in the seat of honor and looked down at the two men for a long time before saying, "Investigate! Every bit of information, every trace of it, had to be thoroughly investigated. Don't let go of even the slightest bit! There won't be a next time! "
"Yes!"
Ren Baqian rubbed his eyebrows after the two men left. This matter didn't only concern the Yun Nation, but also the integration of the aboriginals and other races.
Even the Jing Tribe was included.
After all, the Jing Tribe was also considered an outsider to the aboriginals. It had only been four years since they came to Lan City in broad daylight.
Although this matter concerned the Jing Tribe, Ren Baqian didn't say it out loud.
He didn't want others to think that the Jing Tribe and the aboriginals were separated. In fact, he couldn't let them have such thoughts.
Even the people of the Jing Tribe couldn't integrate with the aboriginals. Other people could feel this way, but he couldn't let these words come out of his mouth.
As a superior, he had to pay attention to every word and action.
…
With the empress's anger, the violent machine of Dayao immediately started to operate. Except for 500 of the 2,000 winged cavalry warriors who stayed behind in Lan City, the rest followed Qin River to the Yun Nation under the empress's orders.
As for the Protectorate of the North, Hong Wu also dispatched ten thousand soldiers and their experts.
Ren Baqian didn't set off with Qin Chuan. Instead, he continued to stay in Lan City. On one hand, he had to arrange some matters, including the academy, various research institutes, the Department of Commerce, and even the protectorate.
Most importantly, he was still waiting for the many experts who had returned from the Sixty Thousand Mountains.
If he wasn't here and those experts heard about this when they returned, there might be some trouble.
After all, those experts definitely wouldn't just stand by and watch. The Yun Nation had always been a part of Great Xia, and the ancestors of the people of the Yun Nation were also from Great Xia. It was difficult to separate the two sides. Since Dayao had conquered the Yun Nation, they couldn't say anything based on their status.
However, if Dayao wanted to start a massacre in the Yun Nation, many people would definitely oppose it.
Given the empress's current situation, she couldn't tolerate any disobedience.
In such a situation, he could only mediate by himself.
Besides, he had an idea. Was this really done by the people of the Yun Nation? All the experts in the Yun Nation had given up their lives? How could this be?
There must be a problem somewhere.
Previously, Su Xianxian was poisoned and Luohua Sect was exterminated. What was their purpose? Were they targeting Luohua Sect or Dayao?
Although there was no evidence, Ren Baqian felt that there was an invisible connection between these two incidents.
This was because the consequences of these two incidents were to provoke the relationship between Dayao, Great Xia, and the practitioners of the Yun Nation. In particular, if this incident wasn't handled well, the entire Yun Nation would be in turmoil. The aboriginals would also be isolated and hated by the practitioners of other countries.
It would be extremely difficult for the "Homecoming" organization to achieve its original goal of absorbing all the experts of the human race.
Ren Baqian suspected that the foreign races had spies among the human race.
After waiting in Lan City for four days, Ren Baqian finally saw everyone return.
Beside him were Lin Yue, who was holding melon seeds, and Lin Qiaole, who was holding a lollipop in her mouth.
Lin Yue … Ren Baqian didn't know what she was thinking. After eating melon seeds in Lan City for 10 months, she wandered around the city in high spirits every day. She even bought two "Jin Ping Mei" books … One for herself to read, and the other for her collection!
As for Lin Qiaole, Ren Baqian felt that he couldn't let her continue to eat, sleep, and eat. It just so happened that he was going to the Yun Nation and needed to bring two experts with him, so he pulled her out of this cycle.
After that, Lin Qiaole and Lin Yue got into a fight and became very close after that.
As for the reason for the fight, Lin Qiaole felt that milk candy was the most delicious, while Lin Yue felt that melon seeds were the most delicious.
Just like how Ren Baqian didn't understand why the two of them fought over this matter, he also didn't understand how these two stupid girls could eat from the same bowl in just two days.
Lin Yue's wooden food bowl was always carried with her and never let anyone touch it!
However, there was something that Ren Baqian wanted to tell Lin Yue several times, but he didn't know if he should say it. He had never seen Lin Qiaole wash that bowl!
The three of them waited for an hour at the top of the city wall, and finally, the experts returned.
Unlike when they set off with full confidence, the people who returned weren't dejected, but they weren't in high spirits either.
It could be imagined that more than a dozen top experts besieged one person, only to end up seriously injured, and one of them even died.
If the other party hadn't missed the opportunity and couldn't escape, these experts would have been too ashamed to face anyone!
In addition to the many experts who returned, there were also two carriages that were covered with cloth, and the Nagu people were locked inside.
"Everyone, it's been hard on you all this time!" Ren Baqian greeted them with a smile.
"It's nothing." Everyone waved their hands and said with an ugly expression, "This time, we finally know that we are still frogs in the well!"
"Everyone, let's go back to the city and rest first. Her Majesty has prepared a banquet for everyone." Ren Baqian led everyone back to the city. This wasn't the time to talk yet.
Before they reached Beihong District, someone said, "The atmosphere in the city seems a little off. The way the commoners look at us is also different from the last time. Did something big happen?"
He had to admit that these experts were really sharp enough to be able to detect a slight change in the atmosphere in the city so quickly after 10 months.
"Something happened in the Yun Nation. 34 Spirit Wheel experts and thousands of Earth Wheel experts surrounded and killed the deputy protector general of the Protectorate of the Northeast, as well as two lieutenant generals and 10 100-man patrol teams! They even dismembered the corpses into pieces and piled them up! "
"How is that possible?" Everyone was surprised to hear this news.
There were only a few thousand Earth Wheel experts in the entire Yun Nation.
Thousands of Earth Wheel experts participated in the siege?
Furthermore, they used such a cruel method?
Their reaction was the same as Ren Baqian's — it was impossible!
Ren Baqian frowned and said, "If I wasn't waiting for you, I would have set off long ago. The impact of this matter is too great. Her Majesty is also furious, and blood will flow like a river. We must find out who is behind this so that it doesn't lead to a disaster! "
"Qi Zixiao …" Everyone sensed something unusual from Ren Baqian's words.
"This matter is Dayao's internal affairs. Not only is Her Majesty furious, but I am also furious. I am going to the Yun Nation this time to give those who didn't participate in this matter one last chance! As for whether they can grasp this opportunity, it will depend on themselves! "
Everyone frowned. Ren Baqian immediately said that this matter was Dayao's internal affairs and that he was telling them about it. It couldn't be without reason.
Everyone understood what he meant!
"Let's talk about this with the old beggar later. The old beggar has two acquaintances in that area. They can help us ask if there's any misunderstanding or if someone is playing tricks on us. It's impossible for all the practitioners of the Yun Nation to be involved in this matter! "Gluttonous Duke said with a frown.
"I have a junior who is staying in the Yun Nation. I can also write a letter and have Zhao Prince Consort deliver it to him," Gao Yi said straightforwardly.
If he wanted to kill all the practitioners of the Yun Nation, these people would naturally oppose it.
Since Ren Baqian had the intention to investigate this matter, it meant that there was still a chance to turn things around. At the very least, there wouldn't be too many innocent people, and everyone was willing to help him!
"I have nothing to do right now, so I will go with you. You won't be unwelcoming, right?" Li Yuanzhu nodded at Ren Baqian.
Not only Ren Baqian, but she also immediately thought of the poisoning of Su Xianxian and the extermination of the entire Luohua Sect.
The similarity between these two incidents was that the other party's methods were astonishing, and the strength hidden in the dark was also very astonishing. Whether it was poisoning Su Xianxian and putting him in a life-or-death situation or exterminating the entire Luohua Sect, these weren't things that ordinary forces could do.
Moreover, the impact of these two incidents was detrimental to the integration of the entire human martial arts world, and there might be some relationship between them.
