Following Ren Baqian's words, a burly man appeared beside Ren Baqian and glared at the lady opposite him. "Sparrow Hawk, he's right. How dare you disrespect an official appointed by the imperial court?"
"Xi Yueya, what did you say?" The lady named Sparrow Hawk looked over in disbelief.
"Everyone else understands except for you. I'm an official appointed by the imperial court. No matter what, I represent Her Majesty and the imperial court. What are you trying to do? How dare you rob and kill an official in front of Her Majesty. This shows how bold you are, "Ren Baqian said coldly.
At this moment, a few more figures appeared beside Ren Baqian and looked at the lady named Sparrow Hawk.
Even though they were young and had the backing of their fathers, Ren Baqian's words made them understand one thing. Ren Baqian represented Her Majesty and was part of the dynasty that was forged by their ancestors. If Ren Baqian did something wrong, Her Majesty could punish him, and so could his superiors. They really didn't have the right to do so.
If they attacked Ren Baqian, they would be disrespecting the rules of the dynasty that was forged by their ancestors. They would be everyone's enemy.
Furthermore, Her Majesty was right beside them. How dare you attack? How bold are you?
Hong Xian's face turned ugly, but she had already understood what was going on. That was why she stopped Sparrow Hawk.
The others also understood what was going on and didn't dare to speak.
The others also understood and stood on Ren Baqian's side.
Even though most of these children knew each other. However, Ren Baqian's words and Sparrow Hawk's behavior made them forget about their old friendship.
In a short period of time, ten more figures appeared beside Ren Baqian.
Only Sparrow Hawk was overwhelmed by anger.
However, the situation in front of her made her feel as if a basin of ice water had been poured over her.
The cold gazes of the others suddenly reminded her of what she had done just now.
She wasn't smart, but she wasn't a fool either. If she were to act foolishly in such a situation, she wouldn't be able to survive.
"It's our fault. We'll return the things to you." Even though Hong Xian knew that she couldn't refute the other party's words, she couldn't help but treat them coldly since they had put them in such a situation.
Ren Baqian caught the crossbow thrown over. He didn't need to think to know that he had already offended them and might as well vent his anger. Moreover, although his attitude was unyielding, he was still the reasonable one, after all. The other party would not be able to find trouble with him in a short period of time.
When the limelight was over and the other party wanted to find trouble with him, he felt that his position in the empress's heart would be even more important.
He still didn't know that the empress had flipped the table with the Seventh Prince of Great Xia because of him. Even though it wasn't entirely because of him, it also showed that he had a certain place in the empress's heart.
"If an apology works, then what's the point of the law? Do you really think that His Majesty doesn't know what happened here? Instead of apologizing, why don't you admit your guilt yourself? " After saying this, Ren Baqian didn't look at them anymore. He cupped his hands toward the people around him and said, "Thank you, everyone."
"There's no need to thank me. You are right. Dayao was founded by our ancestors. My grandfather and father have shed their blood for Dayao. Every inch of Dayao is the blood of our ancestors. For them, we can't allow anyone to trample on them, because this is trampling on the bones of all our ancestors. " Xi Yueya, who was the first to appear beside Ren Baqian, said in a deep voice. As he spoke to Ren Baqian, his gaze was still on Young Sparrow Hawk.
Ren Baqian looked at this person in astonishment. What he said was pretty standard.
"I … I didn't expect that. I was muddle-headed from anger just now," Young Sparrow Hawk said softly and lowered her head. At this moment, everyone's gaze really made her a little afraid.
Until now, she still didn't know how things turned out this way.
She just felt that the words that Ren Baqian taught Du Changkong were really hateful and wanted to teach him a lesson.
However, the result was something that she didn't expect.
Hong Xian pulled Young Sparrow Hawk and said, "I will go with you to Her Majesty to apologize."
Ren Baqian's words just now were very clear. Her Majesty wasn't far away and it was impossible for her not to hear it.
They had made a huge mistake and had to apologize to Her Majesty.
Young Sparrow Hawk was in tears. No matter what, she was still a young girl. This kind of situation made her a little flustered.
Hong Xian pulled Young Sparrow Hawk to look for Her Majesty to apologize. Along the way, everyone looked at them coldly, making them feel even more uncomfortable.
In the distance, the young masters from the other three nations had already noticed that there seemed to be a conflict here. One of them was that mad dog. Because they couldn't get close, they could only hear a little of the conversation that was carried by the wind. However, they were watching the show from afar, thinking that it would be really satisfying if that mad dog was taught a lesson.
What surprised them was that there were actually quite a number of aboriginals standing behind that mad dog. Were they supporting him? That mad dog actually had such a high status in Dayao?
This was something that they didn't expect. Didn't Dayao always discriminate against foreigners? How could there be so many people standing on his side? The other side was obviously made up of a few aboriginals.
As the two of them left, the rest also dispersed. No one bothered about Ren Baqian anymore. The few people who stood with Hong Xian just now also didn't look at him anymore.
Just now, Ren Baqian was indeed in the right, but it didn't mean that others would like him.
On the contrary, Young Sparrow Hawk's mentality was actually the mentality of many people. After being exposed by Ren Baqian, it would be strange if they had a good impression of him. However, in that kind of situation just now, Ren Baqian had a righteous cause and the others had to stand on his side.
Ren Baqian held the crossbow in one hand and the barbecued meat in the other. He was somewhat helpless. In fact, he didn't want things to turn out this way.
But he had to do it at that time. He originally had a lot of good stuff. If anyone could take advantage of them, then he would have a lot of trouble in the future.
Snatching a crossbow wasn't actually that important, but what about the other things?
He carried the things back to the mountain-gazing bird and placed the crossbow on the ground. Then, he sat down and started to eat the cold barbecued meat. It didn't taste as good after it cooled down, but he was already very hungry. If he didn't eat now, he wouldn't have the strength to go up the mountain in the afternoon.
From his angle, he could see Hong Xian and Young Sparrow Hawk kneeling on one knee in front of the empress's carriage.
In fact, Ren Baqian quite liked the Dayao people kneeling on one knee. At least it was more comfortable than kneeling on both knees, right? If he were to kneel on both knees, he would feel a little uncomfortable. After all, he had been educated for decades that a man's knees were gold. Kneeling on one knee was no longer a problem.
After finishing a piece of barbecued meat, he was almost full. He collapsed on the grass. To be honest, he was quite nervous just now, but now he could finally relax. As for whether those people would take revenge on him in the future, he didn't even want to think about it now. He would think about it after he came down from the mountain.
After lying down for a while, someone appeared beside him and took the remaining piece of barbecued meat and started to eat it.
Needless to say, it was Du Changkong, who was beaten like a dog just now.
"Brother, you are really amazing." Du Changkong didn't forget to praise Ren Baqian as he ate. Even though he couldn't get up from the shock just now, he still saw what happened. He admired Ren Baqian very much.
"You are really a coward, being kicked around like a ball," Ren Baqian casually said.
After hearing this, Du Changkong's face turned black, "Hong Xian has become more powerful after not seeing her for a year. This time around, not many people can beat her."
Even though he was refuting, he felt a little powerless.
"What's the relationship between Hong Xian and Hong Luan?" Ren Baqian remembered that both of them had the surname Hong and couldn't help but ask.
"It seems like there is no relationship," Du Changkong replied after thinking for a while. He really didn't know much about Hong Luan.
"However, Hong Xian is Sir Hong Wu's granddaughter."
"Who's Sir Hong Wu?" Ren Baqian asked curiously.
"He's the second most powerful person in Dayao. I wonder when I can become that powerful." Du Changkong had a look of longing on his face.
Second in Dayao? Just slightly weaker than the empress. Ren Baqian also felt that Hong Wu was indeed very powerful. Following which, he sat up abruptly. "Hong Wu, the ninth most powerful person in the world?"
"Yes, Sir Hong Wu is too powerful." Du Changkong was still looking forward to it.
However, Ren Baqian felt a toothache.
Hong Wu was the ninth most powerful person in the world. He had offended the granddaughter of the ninth most powerful person in the world.
