This time welcoming the Empress was much grander than last time.
After all, it took just over a month to repel Daxia's attack this time. All the residents of Lancheng are full of pride and pride. This is our Majesty.
Therefore, when they knew that the Empress was returning to the city, they wanted to witness the current His Majesty with their own eyes.
From the city gate to Beihong District, there are crowds of people on both sides, although there is light rain in the sky, it can't stop the enthusiasm of the people in Lancheng.
"His Majesty!"
"It's Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty's military fortune is prosperous!"
Various voices came from the crowd on both sides.
The empress' Luanjia also opened the curtain in front of her, so that people could see the empress in red lying on her side inside.
Just like when Ren Baqian saw the empress for the first time, lying on his side on the thick fur, without a smile on his face, his eyes were gently closed, with Hong Luan and Qing Yuan following behind him.
Although it is not the kind of majestic sitting upright, this image is also in line with the public's impression of the empress.
Ren Baqian followed behind on a horned ox with a low eyebrow and pleasing eyes, and it was inevitable that he would be pointed at.
Due to the existence of the radio station, the daily situation in the north can be conveyed to Lancheng, and then passed to the mansion through the mouths of the ministers, and then passed to the ears of many civilians.
Every day before and after tea, in the streets and alleys, the whole city of Lanzhou discusses the war in the north.
Many things about the war were also reported.
Therefore, even though Ren Baqian is still a badass, many people have heard that in this war with Da Xia, this little boy has done a lot of things. This made many people look at him with some changes.
At least it's not a flower on the mosaic.
It has almost progressed to the kind of a flower stuck in cow dung.
This progress is gratifying.
Ren Baqian turned his head and looked to the side, and accidentally saw a few heads crowding in front of the opened window next to him.
They are all his students.
Ren Baqian smiled at them, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
"You ghost saw us!" The students shrank their heads subconsciously.
"Du Lao Liu, have you finished your homework?"
"What are you afraid of? Your Majesty must have held a banquet in the palace when he came back from such a great victory. There are other things to deal with. You ghost must not start school so soon and have time to do it." Du Lao Liu patted his chest and said majesticly. Finished, turned to look at others:
"what about you
"I haven't done it yet..." Several students were the same as Du Laoliu. These days, there was a war in the north. They talked about the war in the tavern every day and exchanged the news they heard from their parents. They didn't have the time to do their homework.
Du Laoliu's eyes drifted over a person, somewhat disappointed in his heart.
Don't look at the straightforwardness of what he said, but even if school starts a few days later, he can't finish his homework every day at home.
At that time, I am afraid that it is inevitable to be shot again.
Among these students, he was the one who received the most shots.
Although the wound will heal after the black mud ointment is applied, there are still patches of fresh and tender skin on the skin, which is different from before.
It made him dare not be shirtless now.
After taking off his clothes, there were finger-thick white spots on his arms and shoulders. Those who didn't know thought he had a skin disease.
"I did most of it." Finally someone said.
All eyes were on that man.
"Brother, it's up to you whether brothers live or die this time." Du Laoliu said with a hook on his neck.
"A bunch of trash!" A little Luoli came down from upstairs and said with contempt.
"Have you finished?" Everyone's eyes lit up.
"Hmph!" Little Luoli proudly raised his head and went downstairs, ignoring everyone's envious eyes.
After leaving the restaurant, her head drooped and she went straight to Tongfu. After going back, there was a messy meal, and then I started to gnash my teeth and do my homework.
…
Ren Baqian returned to Pingle Garden, and saw two chubby guys in black and white at a glance, one of them was lying on the ground, and the other stepped on it and climbed up the tree.
Almost a year has passed, and the two little guys have grown up a lot.
Ren Baqian walked over, and the two little guys looked at him.
Then Ren Baqian dragged the panda below out, and the one above couldn't stand and immediately grunted down.
Ren Baqian laughed loudly, hugged the furry panda and rubbed his face, a familiar smell.
The other one rolled on the ground and ran over with its mouth open to push him, but it fell over when he slapped it lightly, and immediately cried out aggrieved.
Ren Baqian rubbed the two pandas, and went back to the house to look around, but there was no dust, it seems that someone has been cleaning it since he left.
Then he planted himself on the bed, and finally returned home, finally able to sleep on the bed.
Traveling long distances in this world is simply too much.
It was almost dark when Ren Baqian was woken up, so he stretched himself and felt much more comfortable.
"My lord, Your Majesty will ask you to attend the dinner later." Shi Hu reported.
"All of you in court?"
"Yes."
Ren Baqian thought for a while, he seemed to only have the forgiving dress from before.
"Your Majesty ordered someone to bring out a dress for your lord, it is estimated that it will be delivered soon." Shi Hu said again.
"Let someone boil the water, I'll take a shower first."
After he finished washing, the dress was sent over.
With his current official position, the dress is purple with patterns of birds and beasts, which looks much better than the original color.
The last time I attended a banquet, Ren Baqian sat at the end. If it wasn't for the permission of the empress, he would not be eligible to participate in his capacity.
This time, the seat was a little higher in the middle, sitting with Feng Hou and several ministers of the Ministry of Industry.
Below him is Fenghou, Secretary of Ordnance, and Ge Yihong, Secretary of Tianmu.
Above him are six books of ministers, covering the old and the young.
When Ren Baqian came in, he received a lot of attention and greetings, and several people greeted him, all of whom were officials from the Ministry of Industry who had dealt with him before.
As for the other ministries, the Ministry of War was quite kind to him.
What role Ren Baqian brought out on the front line these days, other people don't know, but the people in the Ministry of War know it well. Moreover, the idea of the militia he put forward also satisfied the people in the Ministry of War, so seeing Ren Baqian showed goodwill.
Like grinning at him!
If you don't know, you think they are going to beat you.
"Master Ren, it's been a hard trip." Ren Baqian just sat down when Feng Hou came in and sat beside him and said with a smile.
"Serve the people!" Ren Baqian was very polite.
Throat: ...
What the hell is this
"How's the blast furnace?" Ren Baqian asked instead.
"It's still under construction. It's been raining a lot these days, so the speed has slowed down a lot." Feng Hou said.
The rainy season here in Lancheng comes earlier, these days are cloudy and rainy, and even the speed of burning cement has slowed down a lot. Therefore, until Ren Baqian came back, the progress of the blast furnace was only half.
Now that hydraulic hammer forging has been done, it is much easier and the speed of forging weapons is also much faster.
But half of the blast furnace was built, and now the iron materials can't keep up.
Ren Baqian chatted with Fenghou for a few words, and then six ministers came in one after another.
Then came the big executive and the second elder.
After everyone sat down, the Empress walked into the hall.
"We welcome Your Majesty, and congratulate Your Majesty on his triumphant return!" Everyone stood up and bowed.
"Let's all sit down." The empress said lightly, sat down at the top, and said: "Today we don't talk about state affairs, it's just for celebration, everyone, drink yourself. Dance!"
As the empress finished speaking, six strong men and six women came in from outside the hall. The men were wearing leather shorts, while the women were wearing tube tops and leather skirts.
With the sound of fast-paced drums, twelve people began to dance a primitive dance in the hall. Many movements were like hunting, and the voice of "Drink! Ha!" was full of power, full of wildness.
Then the sound of Xun also sounded, adding a touch of desolation behind the wildness, as if being in an endless wilderness.
"This is a dance for celebration. In the past, in the village, if the hunt was good or the enemy was defeated, this dance would be performed." Feng Hou introduced in a low voice, he knew that Ren Baqian didn't understand this.
Ren Baqian nodded, this primitive dance is quite interesting and full of vitality.
As the dance ended, several middle-aged women played musical instruments like pipas.
The atmosphere in the hall immediately cheered up.
Starting from the chief executive, all the ministers also began to toast the empress.
The hall was cheerful and harmonious.
Until half an hour later...
With a loud shout: "Old Tong, what are you talking about? Do you want to taste the sharpness of the old man's knife?"
"Come, come, today I will teach you how to be a human being..." followed by Tong Zhenye's voice.
Then there was a burst of bangs, Tong Zhenye and Qin Chuan directly flipped the table and jumped into the middle of the hall, a black tiger in Tong Zhenye took out his heart, a monkey in Qin Chuan stole a peach, Tong Zhenye another black tiger took out his heart, Qin Chuan slaps his legs, I, Heihu, hits his heart three times in a row, Qin Chuan fishes for the moon in a sea... Heihu takes his heart out four times... Heihu takes his heart out five times...
There are people next to Gao Sheng's house.
"Master Tong's attack was timed just right, it just interrupted Lord Qin's momentum, forcing him to defend, and Lord Qin fell into a disadvantage if he failed... Lord Tong made another move at this time, forcing Lord Qin to defend himself. I have to retreat..." Feng Hou commented, his voice was not low.
Ren Baqian's embarrassing face, Tong Zhenye's Heihu hit 13 times in a row, you can actually see so much
"Fenghou, nonsense!" Someone from the opposite table immediately yelled.
Then even the plates and cups flew towards the throat of the wind.
Ren Baqianyi looked at the posture and hurriedly climbed to the side.
I heard a sputtering sound behind me.
When he climbed to the place behind a pillar, the wind throat was already fighting with a big man from the military department.
Then plates and bowls started flying around the hall...
Ren Baqian stretched out his hand and caught an elbow in the air, and looked closely, he didn't know who had bitten him twice.
After thinking about it, he threw away the elbow again.
"Master Ren, sit here." Not far away, Shi Qing waved at him.
Ren Baqian stopped after taking two steps.
I saw a huge figure flying towards Shi Qing, knocking Shi Qing and the table to the ground.
Tong Zhenye got up from the ground, picked up Shi Qing and put it on the ground, his eyes turned around, and then they lit up, picked up Shi Qing's overturned copybook and threw it towards Qin Chuan.
Seeing this, Ren Baqian felt that he should stay here.
Turning to look at the Empress, I saw that the Empress seemed to have not seen it, sitting on the head and pouring herself a drink.
The chaos below is like this, and the empress is still so calm.
Ren Baqian admired him.
