Changle City is an important town in the Great Xia, and the waterway is not closed. Ren Baqian and the Empress entered the city by boat, but the flying cavalry was blocked outside the city.
Even after receiving Su Qing's order, the guards of the city did not dare to let their horses fly into the city at will. The gates of the city were closed, and the walls of the city were heavily armed.
But this is just a gesture, each of a thousand flying cavalry has the ability to go straight up the city wall, and the defenders in the city will definitely not be able to resist it.
"I don't know who is the leader. This is Daxia. What are you doing here?" The guard's surname is Wang, and Wang Ji is a son of a rich family.
As early as a few years ago, when the rebel army swept across the country and the Great Xia was in decline, children from various families joined the rebel army. Betting on both sides is the way to protect the family.
Now the leader of the Flying Cavalry is called Hou Dajiang, and he is just one step away from entering the Supreme Heaven. Compared with the fairness of the past, he pulled the sheep forward and said: "Do you think the city wall can stop me? Open the door, I will buy it when I enter the city." Eat and go."
A thousand flying cavalry consume a lot of food every day. Although they brought some meat when they set off, it was mostly the Empress's rations. The rations for these flying cavalry still had to be prepared in Daxia.
Seeing that the opponent had no intention of attacking the city, the guard Wang Ji changed his expression, knowing that if he really angered the opponent, the city wall could not be defended. He can handle other people, but he dare not face these savages.
Tough and afraid of violence, these barbarians are not ordinary violence. If you dare to confront them, they dare to kill you.
What's more, there are orders from above.
Immediately raised his voice and said: "There are too many people waiting for you. If they all enter the city, it will definitely cause chaos in the city. Only a hundred people can enter. Leave the city immediately after purchasing, and don't cause trouble."
Hou Dajiang sneered: "There's so much nonsense, what do I want to do with you? Why don't you open the city gate? Or break the city and kill you all over the gate!"
Wang Ji's face was quite ugly, he already had the heart to give in, but the other party really didn't leave any room.
I regretted it in my heart, I knew it would be better to ignore them from the beginning.
Wang Ji's face changed a few times, and he ordered, "Open the door."
Turn your head and leave after speaking, and ignore it.
Anyway, the above has also ordered, and I have no responsibility.
Hou Dajiang smiled contemptuously, these Daxia people are really weak.
Then the flying cavalry filed in and went to the grain shop in the city to buy grain, causing a lot of chaos.
A group of big men weighing more than three hundred catties rushed into the shops with long knives in their hands. Those who didn't know thought they were robbers.
If you know, you know that they are robbers.
Grain worth hundreds of taels of silver can be snatched away by just throwing two pieces of broken silver at will.
Before Ren Baqian, he told them to give money, but from their point of view, this is already paid, at least we didn't take the money from the grain shop, and we returned the money. Not only did he not give less, but he also gave a lot more.
Ren Baqian and the Empress were on the boat, so they naturally noticed the commotion caused by the flying cavalry entering the city, but they didn't say much.
The empress didn't care, Ren Baqian didn't bother to talk, and focused on the people's livelihood in the city.
It can be seen that these mud-legged rebels are doing well, and the lives of the people have not been greatly affected. And with sweet potatoes, although the people in the city are not rich, they can always fill their stomachs and live a stable life.
These can be seen from the words and deeds of the shops and people on both sides.
The boat crossed a stone bridge, and the disturbance caused by flying cavalry hadn't affected it yet, but the two of them saw something interesting.
Two men faced each other with swords in the street, one was wearing a bamboo hat, and the other was wearing a scholar's green shirt. It looked like a duel, and there were many people watching the excitement around.
They didn't know how long they stood, the boat almost passed by them, they were still staring at each other, those who didn't know thought they were fighting with each other.
Not seeing the excitement, Ren Baqian's heart moved, he picked a piece of wood from the boat, and with a movement of his hand, he flew towards the two with the sound of breaking through the air.
"Ouch!" Someone in the onlookers cried out in pain, several feet away from the two of them.
The empress suddenly showed a mocking expression.
"You do what you want!" Ren Baqian didn't know that the Empress threw a hidden weapon at the head, but now he doesn't know? Immediately raised eyebrows provocatively - no eyebrows.
The empress gave a half-smile, pinched her fingers on the boat, and there was a piece of sawdust the size of a fingernail on her hand, which flicked towards the two of them.
"Ouch!" This time, there was a cry of pain from the other end of the crowd, which was even more crooked than Ren Baqian.
Then the two hit each other, only to hear the crowd screaming in pain, and within a moment the crowd of onlookers ran away, leaving only two suspected swordsmen with their faces fluctuating, not knowing what was going on.
"Forget it, Your Majesty and I are rivals in chess and talents, and we can't tell the difference even for a moment." Ren Baqian waved his hand, the two of them are really bored, two big masters are here to compare who throws crookedly, Let outsiders see the joke.
Ren Baqian felt that compared to those two swordsmen, he was indeed as great a master as the empress.
Not long after, the two went ashore and toured the city for a while before leaving the north of the city to join the flying cavalry, and continued northward with a large amount of bought luggage.
Three days later, Qinglian came to visit.
"Your Highness, I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect His Majesty Qi and His Highness to come here in person. I don't know what's important? Maybe I can help." Qing Lian smiled when she saw Ren Baqian.
"Come to inquire about the news?" Ren Baqian asked with a chuckle.
"That's right, His Majesty Qi came here with his flying cavalry, and many people are restless." Qing Lian said calmly, she was always calm when talking to Ren Baqian. She had stayed in Zizhu Academy for a few months back then, knowing Ren Baqian's temperament, it was better to be calm than to go around.
"Don't worry, it has nothing to do with you, it's just an excuse." Ren Baqian reassured Qinglian.
"Are you going to the area occupied by the imperial court?" Qing Lian asked thoughtfully.
"You're quick to react!" Ren Baqian suddenly laughed. He had always admired Qinglian.
"I wonder if there is anything we can do to help?" Qing Lian asked directly. "Although it's not on our territory, there are some people we can use."
"No, you don't need to think too much." Ren Baqian said bluntly.
Qing Lian then smiled and said: "I'm not worried, but when you go to the court area, many people may feel restless, even if I explain it, it's useless."
Ren Baqian didn't care about other people's thoughts.
Others packed Dayao and gave it to him, but he didn't bother to accept it, so he didn't care what they thought.
Isn't that the reason why the Empress came here with her flying cavalry!
Qing Lian chatted about other things, and then gave Ren Baqian a map, which was a detailed map of Daxia. Ren Baqian couldn't get this kind of map, so Qing Lian just gave it to him directly, which made Ren Baqian feel good about it. greatly increased.
In fact, Qing Lian also guessed what Ren Baqian and the empress were here for, but there were some things that she guessed, but she couldn't tell.
As long as it is as I think, it has nothing to do with the rebel army and the court.
As for Empress Dayao leading an army of flying cavalry to publicize the country, neither they nor the imperial court can only turn a blind eye.
Even so, the rebel army still sent people to follow in the dark on the subsequent journey.
Not only them, but even some "jianghu masters" followed behind, wanting to know their purpose.
The group of people brought a series of tails all the way to the junction of the rebel army and the area occupied by the imperial court.
