After spending four rough days on the road, Ren Baqian had seen a lot of things . To his utmost surprise, every time they stopped at a village, the winged cavalry would teach martial arts to the children living in the village . Even though they did not teach the children much, the pointers they gave were still extremely precious to them . These pointers could save those children a lot of time and effort in their future growth .

The aboriginals spared no effort in promoting martial spirit and the relations.h.i.+p between the army and commoners . This made Ren Baqian sentimental as he seldom heard of this happening in ancient China .

Other than the army that founded the current regime of China, there was only a small number of armies in the history of China that won the hearts of the citizens . In the ancient times, citizens often viewed soldiers as wolves .

A few days later, they reached a small town and Ren Baqian suggested that they should rest for a day .

Even though the rest slightly scorned upon this request, they did not say anything . After all, Ren Baqian had a unique status .

Ren Baqian told them not to disturb him and requested his food to be placed at the doorstep of his room . Following which, he returned to Earth in his room .

The long and arduous journey had worn him out thoroughly . He needed to have a good rest .

Even though his request was slightly unreasonable, he still had to request it . After all, he was just an ordinary human . Even when he was in Dayao, he did not suffer so much .

The most arduous experience he'd ever had would definitly be that night he spent in the wild during the Great Hunt .

However, it had been more of mental stress than physical stress for him at that time . It was incomparable to the fatigue he was feeling this time around .

In any case, his time in that world was up . It was better for him to find a place and disappear now, than to suddenly disappear tomorrow .

When Ren Baqian returned to Earth, he threw himself on his bed straight away . The soft and huge bed that did not shake when he jumped on it felt extremely comfortable .

Ren Baqian finally woke up after sleeping for approximately five hours . He did not want to get up and rolled around his bed . After a long while, he finally got out of his bed and made himself a cup of instant noodles to eat .

After spending three days at home without going out at all, Ren Baqian returned to that world again . It was exactly midnight when he arrived at that world . He lay on the bed and took a nap . After a few hours, he heard someone knocking on his door .

"Sir Deputy Prefect . "

"Come in . " Ren Baqian sat up from his bed .

"Sir, it's time to set off . " The one that knocked on his door was Teng Ji . He finally felt relieved when he saw Ren Baqian .

.

For the entire day, there wasn't any sound from Ren Baqian's room . The food that was placed at the doorstep of Ren Baqian's room was left untouched as well . As such, he had been left feeling uneasy all this time .

If it weren't for the fact that Ren Baqian had reminded him not to disturb him, he would have barged into the room .

"Alright, understood," Ren Baqian nodded his head and replied . He got out of his bed and washed his face . After an hour, he was back on the road in his carriage .

　　 . . .

Mount Damo was the location one of the two mines in Dayao . There were all kinds of criminals working in it . Most of them were prisoners of war that had been captured during Dayao's conflicts with its neighboring countries . Currently, there were a few thousand of them . Some of their strength even reached the intermediate stage of the Man Wheel level . However, all of them were chained with shackles and they had zero chance of escaping .

Even though the mine was filled with young and strong warriors, the speed at which iron ore was extracted was still very slow . Increasing the amount of manpower was useless . The rocks in the mine were as hard as metal . Every strike from a pickaxe produced a burst of sparks and at most a mere white spot on the rock .

There was a unit of three hundred men guarding this place . The strength of the weakest guard was on Man Level .

Powerful individual strength was the reason why Dayao could use merely sixty thousand troops to act as a deterrence against possible aggression from the three countries .

Every one of these sixty thousand warriors was at least on Man Level . Even if they had to defend three fronts at once, they were not to be trifled with . They were the cornerstone of Dayao's stability .

A fleet of carriages and horses arrived at the foot of Mount Damo .

"Who?" the guard at the foot of the mountain took two steps forward and asked .

This place was located in the depths of Dayao and the only visitors were aboriginals as well, and as such, the guard did not really look vigilant .

"Ask your commanding officer to come out, this is Her Majesty's command token," Teng Ji said with a deep voice while sitting on his mount .

While waiting, Ren Baqian and Tao Jiyuan got out from their carriages and stretched their bodies . Staying on the carriages for two days straight had caused their bodies to turn stiff entirely .

Even though Ren Baqian had rested on Earth for three days, Tao Jiyuan seemed to be in a better condition than him . He had no choice but to admire the body const.i.tution of aboriginals .

These few days, Ren Baqian had gotten closer to Tao Jiyuan . After all, they had been chatting with each other on the journey here . On the third day, Ren Baqian and Tao Jiyuan even sat in same carriage and conversed for quite some time .

After chatting with Tao Jiyuan, Ren Baqian realized that not only was he literate, he was also quite knowledgeable in many aspects . Tao Jiyuan was considered a rare talent among the aboriginals .

Ren Baqian also found out that there were a few high officials from Tao Jiyuan's family in the past generations . His family had a lot of books from other countries as well . They had a total of five hundred books, which was considered plentiful among the aboriginal families .

Tao Jiyuan grew up in such an environment, it was no wonder that he was so knowledgeable .

However, his body const.i.tution was born weak, limiting his progress in cultivation .

Ren Baqian heard that he had an older brother than held an office in the Left Army . Even though his current rank wasn't as high as Tao Jiyuan's, his prospects were much better than Tao Jiyuan's .

In the aboriginals' eyes, an official position in the army had the greatest prospects out of all professions . At least Tao Jiyuan was filled with pride and hope when he mentioned his older brother .

Soon after, everyone saw three men rus.h.i.+ng down from the mountain . All three of them were clad in armor and had a broadsword on their waists .

"I am the warden of this place, Gu Qiong . I didn't know you will be arriving here, do you have the command token of Her Majesty?" the man at the front said loudly while scanning everyone with eyes . He was around forty years old and he had a huge beard on his face . The armor that he was wearing was slightly dusty .

With a single glance, he could tell that they were the winged cavalry . After all, this was the only unit in Dayao that had a colored, spotted feather sticking out of the shoulder plates .

However, most of time, his gaze was upon Ren Baqian and Tao Jiyuan . They were obviously the bosses here .

Even though the winged cavalry was powerful and it was Her Majesty's personal army, they had no jurisdiction over this place .

"This is Imperial Deputy Prefect, Ren Baqian . This is Overseer of Military Arms, Tao Jiyuan . I'm Colonel of Winged Guards, Teng Ji . We are under Her Majesty's order to come here for an inspection and search for a solution to increase the mining output . "

While Teng Ji was speaking, he threw a piece of white paper towards Gu Qiong . The white paper flew through the air as though it was a solid object .

Gu Qiong caught the paper with one hand and took a glance at it . Following which, a smile appeared on his face as he said, "I see, Sirs, please follow me . "

Ren Baqian and Tao Jiyuan did not get on their carriages . They walked towards Gu Qiong and cupped their hands to greet him . Gu Xiong returned their greetings as well .

"General Gu, please lead the way . "

Everyone followed behind him .

Ren Baqian couldn't get a full glimpse of Mount Damo when he was at the foot of the mountain . Now that he followed Gu Qiong up the mountain, he could gradually make out the panoramic view of Mount Damo and the mine .

Mount Damo was still the most eye-catching . it was seven hundred meters tall and was shaped like a saucepan lid placed upside down . The entire mountain did not have many trees or plants . Especially beside the path that Ren Baqian and his counterparts were walking on, trees were cut down, revealing uneven jagged rocks .

At the foot of the mountain, there were a few thousands of men working with a pickaxe in their hands . They were working extremely hard to excavate the mine, throwing every piece of broken rock to one side .

Along with the wind, a huge gust of dust blew towards Ren Baqian and his counterparts .
