After staying in Ping City for one day and two nights, everyone prepared to set off the next afternoon .

Yesterday, Ren Baqian had given the solar energy battery charger, the remaining binoculars and walkie-talkies, and the drone to the Protector General of the North .

Before leaving the city, Ren Baqian turned around and waved to a bearded man with a swollen face who was among the commanders that were seeing them off . His face was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with satisfaction and joy .

That bearded man actually tried to use a beautiful maidservant to exchange for his drone . That man was truly a genius . He even dared to find Ren Baqian in private to offer him the deal . Ren Baqian admired his boldness very much .

Yes, not only did that bearded man dare to think about it, he even dared to speak out his thoughts . Ren Baqian could tell that he was a "straightforward" person .

There was a reason why the population of aboriginals did not increase much .

One could definitely imagine the outcome . While the bearded man was offering the deal to Ren Baqian, the empress suddenly appeared out of nowhere and punched the bearded man . He flew straight into a wall and became embedded in it . He couldn't even pull himself out of the wall .

However, since last night, everyone had become much friendlier towards Ren Baqian .

After all, the gadgets that Ren Baqian had taken out dazzled them .

Once again, they were back on the road . The number of winged cavalry troops had increased to approximately one thousand and three hundred . One of the winged cavalry units had more than half of their men killed in Great Xia after encountering an interception . There were also two units that had some casualties .

Hong Wu somehow found a carriage for the empress . However, it wasn't really luxurious . It followed closely behind the main body . The empress could rest and sleep inside it at night as well .

During the day, however, the carriage was very b.u.mpy . Sitting in it was much more uncomfortable than sitting on Qi Shui .

During the daytime, they would hasten on with their journey . During the night-time, they would rest in cities or towns . By now, everyone felt at ease . Since Ren Baqian was free, he continued the story of Invest.i.ture of the G.o.ds for the empress . He finished the story in a few days' time . Then, he started on the story of Journey to the West .

When Ren Baqian talked about the Monkey King Sun Wukong wreaking havoc in Heaven, the empress looked at him with a slanted gaze . She plainly asked, "Do you want to learn from that monkey?"

"Actually, Protector of the Horses is a good job . He can earn money without doing anything . His salary is high as well . He even has the luxury of time to sit down and suntan . Therefore, isn't it a good job?" Ren Baqian argued . Then, he concluded, "A monkey is wild and unruly . I'm different from him . A high salary is good enough for me . It will be the best if I can earn money without working at all . "

"If you think that Protector of the Horses is a good job, you will take care of Qi Shui from today onwards," the empress casually said .

"That's fine . " Ren Baqian was quite interested in Qi Shui . If he had the opportunity, he wanted to draw a vial of blood from Qi Shui and bring it back to Earth to test it .

Ren Baqian also wondered if there were dragons in this world or not .

He still did not know that there was one in the imperial palace of Great Xia .

Half a month had pa.s.sed . Everyone could finally see a black-colored wall appearing above the distant horizon . That was Lan City .

Since three days ago, mounted scouts from Lan City had been calling on the empress's entourage one after another . All the officials in the city were waiting for the empress to arrive .

They took a step closer and saw a ma.s.s of people standing outside the city gate . Except those who were on duty, every official came out of the city to welcome the empress .

Ren Baqian jumped down from Qi Shui's back and climbed onto another mount .

Sitting together with the empress on the same mount in front of all the officials and citizens was far too ostentatious .

This time, the empress did not stop him .

Actually, at that point in time, the empress just wanted to make her stance clear to Hong Wu and the rest .

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" approximately three hundred officials standing at the city gate yelled in unison . Behind them, the citizens watched the scene with enthusiasm . They wanted to take a look at the empress but were pushed away by the soldiers .

The empress nodded her head and replied plainly, "It has been very tough on all of you when I'm was not around . Let's return to the imperial palace now . "

When the citizens standing on both of sides of the street saw the empress sitting on Qi Shui, they cheered loudly for her .

The empress was well-received in Dayao . Twenty days had pa.s.sed since the day the empress pulverized Hua Sanliu and destroyed the Nine Pavilions . This news had been spread throughout Dayao and Lan City .

Ordinary commoners did not know why the empress went to the Nine Pavilions . They were cheering for her bravery .

Qi Shui was walked forward at a very slow pace . With thunderous cheers roaring in the background, the empress looked exceptionally magnificent .

All of these citizens were here to look at the empress . However, some also wanted to take a look at Rem Baqian, whose face was glowing with radiance .

After returning to the imperial palace, the empress headed to the throne room for court session while Ren Baqian returned to Pingle Park . Pingle Park could be considered his home in this world . Other than the beast park, he has stayed here the longest . After returning to Pingle Park, he immediately felt relaxed .

He threw himself onto the bed . After rolling about on the bed, sleepiness kicked in, and he fell asleep straight away .

Inside the throne room, everyone discussed the matter of the empress throwing everything aside to go to Great Xia . Almost everyone was rising in revolt .

The empress's face darkened . "Are you trying to revolt against me?"

"We don't dare to do that . However, as the ruler of Dayao, it's inappropriate to leave everyone behind and put yourself in such a dangerous position . "

"If I can't even save a person, how am I fit to be ruler of Dayao?" the empress asked coldly .

"But we are worried about Your Majesty's safety . "

"What's there to be worried about? Do you think anyone can stop me?" the empress sneered .

"Then why did Your Majesty leave such words 'if I were to die, invite that man back'?" s.h.i.+ Qing reminded .

The empress was speechless for a moment . Of course, she knew of how dangerous it was for her to go to Great Xia . It was irresponsible for her to say such words . However, when s.h.i.+ Qing exposed her like this, she felt utterly embarra.s.sed . For a moment, she was speechless . The next moment, she flew into a rage out of humiliation . An earth-shattering aura exploded from her body and surged towards everyone in the room like a tsunami, causing everyone to fly backward .

"Your Majesty!" everyone cried in unison .

With a darkened face, the empress withdrew her aura . After a while, she spoke again, "I won't take any unnecessary risks in the future anymore . "

However, these words meant nothing to her . If such a situation arose in the future, she would still do the same time . She said these words merely to give both parties a way out of this awkward situation .

Actually, everyone already knew the empress did not mean her words . It was impossible for her to admit her mistakes .

However, they still had to make their stance clear . What if Her Majesty did something even rasher than this in the future? This time around, her action almost scared everyone to death .

"Where's Tie Yan?" The empress immediately called for someone when she saw that everyone had calmed down .

"I'm here . " Immediately, a short but muscular man stepped forward .

This man was the supervisor of the Public Security Bureau, Tie Yan . He was the one who investigated the scene where Ren Baqian was ambushed .

"Have you found anything?" the empress asked coldly .

Needless to say, Tie Yan knew what the empress was talking about . Quickly, he replied, "Your Majesty, those four men were sacrificial warriors, I couldn't find out anything about them . The weapons and crossbows they used as well as the clothes they wore are from the Yun Nation . During this period of time, I did not dare to slack off on the investigation . Finally, I found out that they travelled from Great Xia to the Yun Nation, and then from the Yun Nation they travelled to Dayao . In Dayao, they stayed in a place that was arranged by a shopkeeper from a family with the surname Xu . That family is from the Yun Nation as well . I have already thrown everyone in the Xu family into the prison . However, after interrogating them, I realized they did not know anything . The shopkeeper arranged lodgings for the four sacrificial warriors after receiving a sum of money from them . "

"That means, other than finding out they are from Great Xia, you have found nothing?" the empress asked coldly .

"I have not done a good job, please forgive me," Tie Yan replied .

"Continue the investigation, I will give you another three more months . I want to know who is so audacious to such a thing . "

After thinking deeply about something, the empress continued, "And remember to kill everyone that you have thrown into the prison . "
