When Ren Baqian arrived at the foot of the mountain, the flying cavalry who were chasing after him had already begun to return, and the ground was full of stumps, no wounded, only scattered limbs.
The smell of blood filled the air, which made Ren Baqian's nose feel a little uncomfortable, so he resisted covering his nose.
Although a little uncomfortable, it would be too hypocritical for these flying warriors to go deep into Daxia to find the empress and fight fiercely with others, and to cover their noses by themselves.
The empress stood there all the time, and the captain next to her turned out to be an acquaintance, Teng Ji from last time, but after seeing Ren Baqian, she didn't give him a good face.
After all, the empress was in deep danger for him, and it was not bad for other people to hack him as soon as they met, so don't even think about having a good face.
Ren Baqian could think of this, so he didn't care, but felt helpless.
I have been with the Empress before, so I didn't pay much attention to this matter, and now I can't help it.
Not long after Ren Baqian went down the mountain, many flying cavalry warriors who chased and killed the skirmishers came back one after another, covered in blood, not only them, but the empress was also stained a lot, all of them had simple smiles on their faces, but their bodies were covered in blood. The taste makes people feel the coldness of this world.
"Your Majesty" everyone stood and knelt on one knee in front of the empress.
"Get up." The Empress said, her voice was majestic, but not cold.
No matter who sees such subordinates, they will no longer have a cold face.
"Why are you here?" the Empress asked afterward.
"Flying cavalry, swear to follow His Majesty to the death!" Everyone shouted in unison.
The Empress softened her face at first, looked at everyone's faces, and then became strict: "Where are the others?"
"Your Majesty, we are divided into ten teams to find His Majesty. There should be two other teams that are closer to here." Fujiki raised his head and said.
"Get up." The Empress said again. As for these people, they can only be said to be a drag, but she didn't say it.
After all, there was a huge gap between Feiqi's mount and Qishui's, and the speed slowed down a lot. And with more people, the goal is bigger.
"Yes." Everyone got up.
"How about the casualties?" the Empress asked again.
Fujiki turned to look at everyone: "Line up!"
More than a hundred people stood loosely in four rows, and Fujiki carefully looked behind him: "Where are the other two? Look for them."
Everyone knew in their hearts that if they didn't come back at this time, it could not be that they chased and killed the scattered soldiers and ran away, and they must be among the corpses in that place.
There were at least six to seven hundred dead bodies on the ground. During the short battle just now, there were six to seven hundred elite soldiers of Daxia lying here, plus the scattered soldiers who were hunted down and killed, the casualties were more than 1,500. But only death, no injury.
As for the flying cavalry, two people died in the battle. If the empress hadn't beheaded the commanding general, as time went by, the casualties of the flying cavalry would not only be caused by this.
After a while, the empress looked at the two corpses brought over, and said, "Take them away first, and go back for a proper burial."
Everyone knew that it was impossible to take the corpse back, and it would stink halfway, but the two corpses had to be taken to a safe place first, and the heads were brought back, and the corpses were buried in the mountains without leaving a tombstone.
When the ancient warriors died in battle, they usually dealt with this way, bringing the heroic soul and head back to the 60,000 mountains to bury them, and the heroic soul will always protect the ancient tribe.
It was the same as when he killed the Seventh Prince before.
"Notify the other two teams to wait for them at the location of a day's journey, and the other teams will return to Dayao." The Empress said.
"Yes, Your Majesty, should I inform General Hongwu?" Fujiki asked.
"Arrange it." The empress waved her hand.
Fujiki immediately called someone to contact other teams, and the others also went back to find their mounts. Many people took a look at Ren Baqian before leaving, wanting to see what kind of bastard it was that made His Majesty take such a risk for him.
At this moment, Ren Baqian was in the same mood as Ryan in Saving Private Ryan, and his mood was a bit complicated.
Feiqi has his own set of contact methods. It is an animal the size of a hummingbird, called a bird, a pair of two, life and death. If you let go of one, it will automatically return to the other. It's amazing. No one knows how they found each other. In a short time, five or six black lacquered birds flew out from a distance, flying quickly in different directions.
Each team has several teams' moving birds in their hands, and other teams communicate with each other.
After a while, many flying warriors came back leading that kind of giant sheep, and the two soldiers who died in battle were tied to the backs of their mounts.
When they saw the Great Xia Army just now, they immediately got off their mounts and let them hide away. These sheep were also very smart, they didn't run too far, and waited while grazing.
The so-called flying cavalry looked like cavalry, but they were actually a group of infantry riding on their mounts. After all, they were too restricted on mounts, and their strength could not be displayed.
"Let's go, return." The empress said to everyone, her voice spread throughout the audience, her figure flashed behind Ren Baqian, and she sat sideways on it.
"Let's go!" Many flying riders let out a strange cry that felt very primitive and wild, and followed behind Qishui.
Hundreds of riders almost ran out with the momentum of thousands of galloping horses, and the ground trembled accordingly, the weight of the ancient people contributed a lot.
…
At this time, a caravan was moving forward on the plain, with more than a dozen carriages full of goods, and dozens of handymen and warriors leading the team.
One of the 40-year-old martial artist who looked majestic and well-dressed seemed to have noticed something, and said to the person next to him: "Six ears, listen to see if there is any movement."
Following his words, a young man quickly fell to the side from the horse, put his ear to the ground, then quickly ran a few steps and jumped onto the horse's back and said, "Boss, there are cavalrymen, they are heading in our direction."
The forehead of the middle-aged man, this is the hinterland of Daxia, cavalry can be seen occasionally, there are no bandits around here, so don't worry.
But for the sake of safety, he still leaned on a carriage and knocked: "Shopkeeper, there are cavalry coming towards us."
A man with the appearance of a rich man with a round face got out of the carriage and shouted, "Stop first."
"Shopkeeper, do you want to form an array first? Just in case." The middle-aged man asked again.
The shopkeeper waved his hand: "No, there will be no bandits here. Just wait here for a while."
He walked this road every year, and he had never heard of bandits appearing here.
Fifty miles away is Yucheng, not to mention the masters of the government and the army, there is Qingyang Gate on the mountain outside the city, and there are three masters of the earth wheel in the gate, and the bandits appear here to seek death.
As soon as the convoy stopped, everyone felt the vibration under their feet, and dust was also raised in the distance.
"There are quite a few." The middle-aged man subconsciously thought that the small number would make such a shock impossible, at least five hundred or more riders would be required.
"It might be someone from the army. Didn't you say that Qi Zixiao is in the territory recently? I'm afraid he is looking for her." The shopkeeper narrowed his eyes and guessed.
"So what if we find it." The middle-aged man shook his head slightly. The most in the army is the earth wheel, which is not in the same order of magnitude as the god wheel warriors. No matter how many people there are, they can't keep her.
Although he is only a high-level human being, due to his background, he has heard a lot about the strength of a divine wheel master.
The big man sat on the horseback and looked towards that side. After a while, he could already see some shadows in front of him, and then his face changed drastically.
In the front is an unknown monster with a man on its back, and the one behind is not a horse at all, but a sheep, the kind of giant sheep that is most common in Dayao.
Only the ancient people love to ride this kind of mount.
Realizing this, his face changed drastically, and he shouted wildly: "It's not the Daxia cavalry, it's the Dayao people. Why are the Dayao people here? Don't worry about the goods, run!" The shopkeeper's expression also changed after hearing his words: "How is it possible? Why are Dayao people here? No, the goods cannot be lost!"
"Ordinary soldiers of the ancient tribe have the strength of human wheels. How can they be ordinary soldiers who can come here? It can't be stopped at all. What kind of goods are they in charge of? They can't take them away."
The middle-aged man yelled and lifted him up, he didn't care about anything else, turned his horse and ran towards Yucheng.
The faces of the others also changed wildly, and they fled in all directions.
As for the goods, no one cared about them at all.
Just like what the big man said, the ancients couldn't take the goods away, so running for their lives is the most important thing at this time. Those handymen now hate their parents for losing two legs.
The middle-aged man rode his horse and galloped wildly, looking back from time to time, only to heave a sigh of relief when he saw that those Dayao people had no intention of chasing after him and went directly to Yuyang Mountain next to him.
After all the people from the ancient tribe had entered Yuyang Mountain, he sent a message: "Go and inform the Yucheng government."
After waiting for a long time, he rode his horse back.
…
Ren Baqian sat on Qishui's back and saw these people fleeing in all directions from a distance.
However, even if they didn't run away, they didn't bother to pay attention to them. After all, they were so defeated and ran away just now, and those who should have reported it had already done so.
Everyone got into Yuyang Mountain and ran all the way to the depths. Whether it was Qishui or those giant goats, they were very good at running and jumping in the forest. The complex terrain in the forest did not hinder them at all, and it was difficult for Daxia's army to catch up. .
Everyone rested for a while every hour, and spent the night in the depths of Yuyang Mountain at night.
The empress and Ren Baqian were sitting next to a fire, Ren Baqian was grilling meat for the empress, the others stayed far away, but they could still smell the aroma from the fire.
It's obviously the same thing, but they always find the aroma from the fire very attractive.
At dawn the next day, everyone got up and set off again, until half a day later they stopped at a mountain ridge, which was the place agreed by Fujiki and the other two teams.
…
Qingyang Gate
"Master, Liu Canjun sent someone to see you." A big man hurried into the room and said.
"I don't see, even if I become a demon after practicing kung fu, I will be seriously injured." The old man in the room said without raising his eyelids. If he didn't know the news, maybe he would meet again. Now that I know, I might as well just close the door and thank the guests, it will be better for me.
"Master...how about meeting him? At least listen to what he has to say." The big man had a strange expression on his face, and there was nothing magical about Qingyangmen's skills. Moreover, the relationship between Qingyangmen and the government has always been good, so there is no need to be so desperate, right
"A group of ancient people entered Yuyang Mountain yesterday." Seeing that he was puzzled, the old man nodded casually.
"So what?" The big man didn't know, so although the strength of the ancient people was indeed not weak, they wouldn't be so frightened just by hearing their names.
Seeing his stupidity, the old man shook his head angrily: "A group of more than a hundred people are all Da Yao Flying Cavalry, and they are all as strong as you and me at the very least, and Qi Zixiao is among them. I am Qingyangmen, if you want to see and see, you can go there, you don’t need to tell me.”
The big man's face changed just now, he didn't even know about such a thing. Then he looked angry: "I'll kick him out right away."
