The item that Ren Baqian was looking for, was actually a type of mineral which was commonly seen . It was very widely distributed and easily found in this world . He just arrived at the Ministry of Works, and Tie Ze and Tie Quan helped him to resolve a great part of his trouble .

After the both of them left, Ren Baqian warned and exhorted Tong Zhenye repeatedly that they must extract the coal from the coal mine . The coal mine was not only resistant to fire, but its temperature was also higher . It was extremely useful whether it was used for burning bricks, making gla.s.s or even melting iron ores .

The only inconvenience was that the distance of the coal mines were too far . According to Tong Zhenye's words, it would require them to travel for ten days by carriage . As such, transporting it this way would use up too much manpower and physical resources .

It would be great if they could find a coal mine somewhere in the vicinity .

Ren Baqian bade farewell after he spoke a little longer to Tong Zhenye . Following which, all he had to do was to wait for Tie Ze and Tie Quan to confirm that they found limestone . Then, they would be able to start mining .

"Let's go to the beast park," Ren Baqian said to the two guards as he left Ministry of Works .

It had been a period of time since he had last seen the two little chaps, and he somewhat missed them . Also, the sweet potatoes should also be nearing its ripened stage and he ought to take a look .

As for the money involved in the partners.h.i.+p between him and Caretaker s.h.i.+, he no longer cared about it now .

To put it crudely, he didn't have any use for money at this moment .

They left Ministry of Works while riding on the crooked cows . A short distance later, four people suddenly appeared at the top of the wall just when they took a turn . They were lifting something and aiming at Ren Baqian, who was in the center .

"Sir, be careful . " Upon seeing this scene, the two imperial guards from behind immediately shouted as their expressions changed drastically . One of the imperial guard threw himself over at Ren Baqian and pushed him down the crooked cow's back .

At the same time, a "buzz" could be heard . Countless of ice-cold gleams were shot towards Ren Baqian from both sides .

The numerous shots practically enveloped Ren Baqian .

Ren Baqian completely didn't have the time to react to what happened and right away, he was being knocked over by a huge force . Following which, he felt a burst of sharp pain in several parts of his body .

As for the guard that knocked him over, he fell flatly onto to the ground full of holes just like a sieve .

At this moment, Ren Baqian also fell to the ground . He was feeling spasms of pain all over his body and was completely confused . Never did he expected himself to be a.s.sa.s.sinated by others . Moments ago, if the guard's action was slower by just a little bit, he would have turned into a sieve by now .

He actually almost died? This abrupt perception messed up his state of mind . Subsequently, what he felt was immense fear and anger .

However, the pain in his body made him unable to move the in slightest bit .

At this moment, a sharp pain came through the both of his legs, his back and waist area . This kind of pain made him fear that he would actually die in the next second . Soon enough, he blacked out .

The other guard's eyes were already red with fury . He bellowed in agony and blocked Ren Baqian from the front .

"Anybody, please come . There are a.s.sa.s.sins . " That guard shrieked frantically . Naturally, he could make out the abilities of the few a.s.sa.s.sins . They have yet to reach the level of Earth Wheel . In a matter of a few moments, he could actually wipe them out completely . But, if one of them made use of their skill and attacked Deputy Prefect Ren one more time, he would definitely die .

The four people at the top of the wall took a glance at Ren Baqian, who was lying on the ground . In the next moment, they all rushed towards him .

These four people knew that they couldn't leave Lan City alive . Since the day they received this mission, they came with the mentality that Ren Baqian must die .

Even though Ren Baqian was already shot by a few arrows, it would be better to stab him a few more times to verify that their target was already dead . In any case, they couldn't leave this place alive .

"Pop!" The sword in the guard's hand transformed into a beam of light, and he chopped the person right at the front in half . As for the other three people, it was as if they didn't sense what was going on and continued to throw themselves over .

"Clang!" The guard swept the sword away from the second person's hand and using one leg, he launched him towards the wall . This was followed by a slash from his sword which made the third person's head soar to the sky .

However, the last person, who was also the strongest, held a sword in his hand, dashed as fast as a lightning and went straight for this guard instead of Ren Baqian . Just at the moment the guard chopped off the third person's head, he pierced his sword right into the guard's chest .

Blood spurted out from that guard and his eyes were opened wide . He threw away the sword in his hand and grabbed the other party . Both of his hands were like an iron clamp as no matter how much the other party struggled, he wasn't able to get away .

Then, he knocked his head ruthlessly on the other party's head and subsequently a second time and then a third time .

After a while, that man's head was split into half . His brains and blood spewed all over, and his corpse was thrown to one side . The sword in his chest was left untouched . He knew very clearly that he would die faster if he were to pull it out .

Within a minute, someone rushed to the scene and witnessed blood flowing everywhere .

Of the two guards, one was shot till he became a sieve while the other had a sword erected on his chest .

There was still that Deputy Prefect Ren, who was lying on the ground with a pool of blood around him .

And there were also a few corpses scattered around . Such a scenario actually made the others extremely indignant . There were people who actually dared to a.s.sa.s.sinate a court official in Lan City and better still, an official with a special ident.i.ty .

However, they should check on the condition of Ren Baqian's injuries without delaying any further . Both of his legs and one side of his waist were pierced through . His back also had an extra line of blood groove .

But, he was still breathing . Furthermore, his injury wasn't fatal in the short term .

As for that guard, he was fine for the time being . But, if they continued to delay any longer, things might take a turn for the worse .

After a short period of time, Ren Baqian was carried away by people and urgently sent to the clinic .

Tong Zhenye's face was full of tyranny, "You should know who is he, right? You must cure him, regardless of what method you use . If he dies, all of you will die too . "

There were too many issues interrelated to Ren Baqian: the husband of the empress, Mount Damo's iron ore mine, and also a better smelting technology, as well as the cement which he had mentioned . Regardless of which issue was it, he couldn't die .

How could the doctors in the clinic not recognize Tong Zhenye—especially after he placed that young man down and seeing the official robes donned on them . Immediately, they were able to guess his ident.i.ty .

After all, there was only one outsider who had became an official in Dayao .

. . .

…

After half of stick of incense had burned, there was a loud "boom" . The entire couch was smashed into smithereens and fragments flew in all directions .

The empress's face was icy-cold as she suddenly appeared outside of Yangxin Palace Hall . Her body began to soar as she went straight towards the clinic .

Tong Zhenye was looking at the doctor, who was treating Ren Baqian's wound at the moment and somewhere not far from his side was that seriously injured guard .

All of a sudden, he detected a terrifying aura moving rapidly in their direction . This aura was too familiar as he practically experienced it several times a month .

Tong Zhengye then went to the courtyard to await for that person's arrival .

"Greetings, Your Majesty . " Following the red silhouette which appeared in the clinic, Tong Zhenye bowed his head and greeted .

The next second, he flew invertedly outwards and smashed three walls in succession . Not only did he get smashed out of the clinic, but he also flew through a magistrate office followed by b.u.mping into another building .

The extremely loud noise and the scene of rock filling everywhere caused a commotion .

In an instance, seven to eight people appeared at that courtyard . This was actually the Ministry of War yet someone actually had the cheek to cause a racket over here?

In addition, there were people who even leaped over the wall, wanting to see who was so presumptuous .

At this moment, there were a bunch of people standing at the courtyard outside the clinic and all of them remained silent out of fear .

Before they even started talking, Tong Zhenye miserably walked out of the building which was partially destroyed while supporting his waist with one hand .

"Sir Tong, what's the meaning of this?" Minister of War, Qin Chuan, asked full of hostility .

"Ptui . " Tong Zhenye was also furious .

Whom did I p.i.s.s off?

"Her Majesty is over there . " Tong Zhenye's sentence made the Minister of War, who was eager to get into action instantly listless .

"What happened?" Qin Chuan frowned while asking .

In general, even if Her Majesty was unhappy, she wouldn't hit someone this way .

"Someone has just tried to a.s.sa.s.sinate Ren Baqian," Tong Zhenye said in an unhappy tone .

As Qin Chuan and Ren Baqian didn't really cross paths, he only recalled who Ren Baqian was after thinking for a while .

"Tong Zhenye, get over here . " Just when he wanted to continue asking, an ice-cold voice trailed from the courtyard, making him hold back his stomachful of words .
