The banquet that night could not be considered lively. After all, everyone did not return victorious. In fact, it could even be said that they were dejected.
However, this banquet couldn't be skipped.
The next day, many of the experts returned while he headed for the Yun Nation.
In addition to Lin Qiaole, Lin Yue, Lin Qiaole's best friend, also came along. The two girls, who weren't very smart, felt like old friends at first sight. They regretted not meeting each other earlier. Buy one, get one free.
The other two were Gluttonous Duke and Li Yuanzhu.
There was also another person who Ren Baqian would never have thought of — Xin Zhe.
"Her Majesty has ordered me to follow Zhao Prince Consort no matter where he goes!" Xin Zhe pushed up her spectacles, which flashed brightly.
"His Majesty asked you to protect me? Do you need to follow me to the washroom? " Ren Baqian laughed. This commander's greatest strength was his loyalty, but his greatest weakness was that he only had loyalty!
Alright, he was good at fighting!
However, he knew nothing about what was happening outside the palace.
"No, Your Majesty means to follow them! Even when we eat and sleep, we have to follow him! "Xin Zhe said frankly. Xin Zhe believed that she had completely understood the empress's orders.
Ren Baqian opened his mouth. Even if Her Majesty wants you to keep an eye on me, can't you at least say that it's my personal protection? Was there a need to be so direct?
She nodded at him and smiled. "Qi Zixiao is very attentive to you, her husband!"
Ren Baqian sighed faintly. Isn't that person guarding against you?
Women!
Be it the emperor of a country or the lowly peddler, there were some things that people were born with. This was talent!
But Your Majesty, aren't you thinking too much? After all, he's the third most powerful expert in the world. How many of them would be as blind as you are? People nowadays only know how to look at appearances, how superficial!
What was the use of looking at one's face? Wouldn't they still have to compete in the end?
Ahem, I'm wrong. That's the third most powerful expert in the world, Lin Qiaole, who can't be abducted by a lollipop! Lin Yue wasn't someone who could be abducted with just a handful of melon seeds!
"Depart!"
On the road, Li Yuanzhu and Gluttonous Duke noticed that the road from Lan City to the Yun Nation was different from other places. There was an extremely clean and tidy road that looked like stone but wasn't.
They had seen this material in Lan City before. It seemed to be called cement.
He didn't expect Dayao to use this material to pave the roads.
"Where does this road lead to?" she asked.
"Yun Nation!"
"How extravagant! This path didn't exist a few years ago!" Gluttonous Duke was speechless.
"From construction to completion, it took a total of more than three years and is more than 1,600 kilometers long!" Ren Baqian was quite proud of this road.
This was the first official road in Dayao, but it wasn't the last.
"With this path, we can probably shorten the time by half! You guys have put in a lot of effort. It seems like those nobles from the Yun Nation who have escaped don't have to suffer anymore! "Gluttonous Duke said casually.
Putting aside Ren Baqian's nuclear bombs, it would only take four to five days to travel from Lan City to the Yun Nation on horseback. It would be difficult for those people to cause any trouble.
"The railway from Lan City to the Yun Nation, which is still under construction, has been completed. In two days, we can send 100,000 soldiers from Lan City to the Yun Nation!" Ren Baqian pointed into the distance.
The two of them were skeptical. It was not impossible to cover a thousand miles in two days. If it was the big bird that Ren Baqian was riding, it could reach in one day.
However, it was different for 100,000 soldiers. Including provisions and armaments, it wasn't a small number. It would be good if they could reach the speed of a normal carriage in about 10 days!
Although the two of them had never led troops before, they could imagine it.
Ren Baqian saying that it would only take two days was really amazing!
"Hey, this road is better than the official road in Great Xia!" Lin Yue suddenly exclaimed after half a day on this road and the three of them chatted for a long time.
"It's indeed much better than the previous road! The original road is covered in mud when we run! " Lin Qiaole nodded her head. She had followed Ren Baqian to many places and knew the condition of those dirt roads very well.
Lin Yue looked pensive.
The next day, she continued to look pensive.
On the third day, she suddenly thought of something and said, "Your alms bowl seems to have a smell!"
Ren Baqian immediately covered his face. You two have been eating from the same alms bowl for several days, and you only realized this now?
"This is body fragrance! He said so! "Lin Qiaole pointed at Ren Baqian.
Lin Yue continued to look pensive.
Li Yuanzhu and Gluttonous Duke had strange looks in their eyes. Both of them could tell that Lin Qiaole wasn't very smart, but people who weren't smart wouldn't lie … How did Ren Baqian say this to her?
It wasn't uncommon for rabbits to eat the grass near their nests, but to dare to eat grass near Qi Zixiao's nest was really bold!
Ren Baqian quickly said, "I didn't, I didn't say that! Lin Qiaole, when did you learn to make false accusations? "
"That time, when you ate from Her Majesty's bowl, you said that it had body fragrance!" Lin Qiaole said righteously with a "don't try to deny it!" look on her face.
Ren Baqian was speechless.
The group brought 50 guards, all of whom were riding high-quality mounts, and caught up with Qin Chuan at the border of the Yun Nation in four days.
"Sir Qin, this time, the two of us are out on a mission. We will have to trouble you!" Ren Baqian cupped his hands.
"Zhao Prince Consort, you don't just do things, right?" Qin Chuan cupped his hands at Ren Baqian, looked up, and pointed at Li Yuanzhu and the others with his chin. "Forget it, I can't control what Zhao Prince Consort wants to do. Her Majesty gave me an order to not let anyone off."
"This is Her Majesty's order!" Ren Baqian handed the empress's handwritten letter to Qin Chuan. After he opened it, he felt as if there was a mountain on the paper, and every word was a beautiful mountain peak.
This was the empress's handwriting. The essence, qi, and spirit of her handwriting were all condensed in it. Ordinary people would be intimidated by the words at a glance, but experts could see the strength of the person who wrote it.
Back then, the empress had used this method to deceive many experts in Great Xia!
Qin Chuan glanced at it, folded the letter seriously, and put it in his pocket. "Sir Ren, I will head to Pingdu first and rest there for a month. I will also use this time to collect information on the various sects. After a month, I will sweep through each and every sect, from the big to the small, and let them see if my saber is sharp!"
"Thank you, Sir Qin!" Ren Baqian smiled.
One month wasn't a long time. However, at this time, it was considered not bad.
As for collecting information on the various sects, it was just a casual excuse. Zi Donglai had probably checked all the ancestors of the various sects in the Yun Nation by now.
"We will meet again in Ping City in one month!" Ren Baqian cupped his hands at Qin Chuan.
This time, it was different from the last time in Tianjing Basin. In Tianjing Basin, everything was laid out in the open. Whether it was the other party or his own side, they could crush them with force.
This time, there was a mastermind hiding behind the scenes. If they did the same thing as last time, they probably wouldn't be able to find anything even after a month. At that time, all the practitioners in the Yun Nation would be wiped out.
Thus, they simply split up.
Of course, Ren Baqian didn't expect their whereabouts to be hidden from others, but it was more convenient to act this way.
Besides, with Li Yuanzhu, Gluttonous Duke, Lin Yue, Lin Qiaole, and Xin Zhe around, there was no need to worry about their safety.
