Ren Baqian opened his eyes, looked at the white sky outside the window, was stunned for a moment, and then murmured: "It's time."
Thirty days have come.
There are no warriors coming from the south these days.
Either they were determined to rebel, or they were blocked from Wangjiangkou and Guiling, unable to come over.
Either way, it determines their fate.
None left.
For the warriors in the south, there will be no more than one person.
All sects slaughtered the mountain gate.
"I really don't want to kill so many people. In front of my eyes, blood flows into rivers, and the river is dyed red. However, you are self-satisfied with karma. Whatever you sow, you will reap the fruits. You can walk the path you choose yourself. I can do it. Just to send you on the road together." Ren Baqian said to himself.
Putting on his official uniform, Ren Baqian walked out of the room with a serious expression, and the damp air in the morning hit his face directly.
The air in Jiangbei City today seems to be a little condensed. In the past, many voices could be heard at this time, but now it is completely silent.
The entire Jiangbei city was full of chills.
Even the mosquitoes seemed to feel the chill.
Ren Baqian walked to the empress' room, where Xi Wanya, Zongshen, Gonggong and others were already standing there.
Ren Baqian and the others cupped their hands and stood opposite Xiwanya.
The voice of whispering came from the empress' room, and the empress did not come out after waiting for a long time.
"Women in the world, even if they have a peerless appearance like His Majesty, they still have to dress up before going out. It has nothing to do with beauty or ugliness, it's instinct." Ren Baqian smiled at Xi Wanya.
Xi Wanya's face darkened suddenly.
If you dare to say this, we dare not listen!
"Boom!" An object flew out through the window and hit Xi Wanya directly on the head.
Xi Wanya was able to dodge it, but he was smashed right on the ground, with an innocent expression on his face.
Both Zongshen and Gongyi didn't look sideways, as if they didn't see it.
Ren Baqian grinned and didn't speak anymore, thinking that the Empress never hit herself with things, which shows the Empress' intentions. Although this was something that did not need to be doubted, it was still warm in my heart. Especially before the war, a warm current flowed through my heart.
After a while, the door was pushed open from the inside, and the empress stood there, her red gauze swaying with the airflow brought by the door opening.
"Your Majesty, the 30-day appointment has arrived." Ren Baqian clasped his fists and said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, the Southern Protectorate Mansion has already packed up and prepared to put down the rebellion." Xi Wanya clasped his fists.
"Your Majesty, the flying knights are ready to follow His Majesty's gaze and tear any enemy who dares to stand in front of His Majesty." Justice also said.
"The army is going!" the empress said coldly.
"yes!"
After a while, three desolate long sounds from the horns sounded in the city.
Then the gates of the two barracks in the south and north of the city were opened wide, and many soldiers filed out from the barracks, crossed the main road in the city, and came out from the south gate of the city.
This morning, in Jiangbei City, there was only the sound of heavy footsteps that seemed to be stepping on everyone's heart, and the occasional sound of weapons colliding together.
In the entire Jiangbei City, everyone was behind the windows, looking through the gaps in the windows at the army that was leaving the city.
"Take her with you." Ren Baqian passed by the courtyard where Wang Baobao was, pointed inside and said to the guards.
"Let's go and find someone else. Also, wake up Lin Qiaole, she should grow hair if she sleeps again." Ren Baqian ordered.
After a while, the little monk Xingruo appeared in front of Ren Baqian.
"Buddha son!" Xingruo said calmly with no joy or worry on his face.
Ren Baqian took a look at it, and in just half a month, this line of business seemed to be looking good.
Before that, he also learned some news from the people who followed and protected Xingruo.
Originally, at Xingruo's age, it was hard to be trusted. In particular, Buddhism has never appeared in this land, and people have no knowledge of Buddhism.
However, it may be that the city was taken over by the ancients just after a turmoil, and the civilians in the city were full of fear and confusion about the future. In this case, Xingruo has attracted some civilians these days.
Not many, only a few dozen.
But for Xingruo, this is already a big step.
At his age, it is not easy to attract dozens of people to listen to his lectures on Buddhism.
"We are leaving, will you come with us?" Ren Baqian asked lightly.
"No, the common people in this city also need the blessing of Buddhism." Xing Ruo shook his head and said softly.
"From now on, it's up to you," Ren Baqian said.
Xingruo nodded slightly. Then he raised his head and said pitifully, "Buddha, donate some money."
"A monk, what do you want money for?" Ren Baqian was amused by his change of temper. Before, he looked like a human being, but he immediately became mischievous. Have you practiced face changing
"You have to find someone to carve the statue of the Buddha first, otherwise these people don't know what the Buddha looks like, and they don't know who they are worshiping!" Xing Ruo said honestly. "I even drew the image of Buddha!"
As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket.
Ren Baqian took a glance: Yes, according to this carving, they don't even know who they are worshiping.
Someone took some silver and handed it to Xingruo, Xingruo took the silver with a happy face and asked someone to carve a Buddha statue to take it.
As for after Ren Baqian left, he really only had the matter of promoting Buddhism here, which seemed never to have occurred to him. Ren Baqian didn't see any worry on his face.
Ask someone to call the two warriors who have been following and protecting Xingruo.
"You don't need to protect in secret from now on, just shave your hair and go convert to Buddhism." Ren Baqian looked at the two people below and said calmly.
"Huh?" Both of them were taken aback.
"In the future, if someone makes trouble for Xing Ruo, you go. If Xing Ruo makes trouble for others, you also go. As for your sect, I will let people know. After a few years, when he is stable here, you can go back. You can then Enter the Captain's Mansion, let people report to me, and I will let people arrange positions for you." Ren Baqian said directly, without giving them any chance to refuse.
After finishing speaking, he personally picked up a knife from the side and shaved off the heads of the two of them.
Two freshly baked monks with bloody heads.
The two of them bared their teeth in pain and dared not resist.
"Go." Ren Baqian said calmly.
The two bowed their heads and stepped back. Fortunately, Ren Baqian promised to personally arrange errands for them in the Captain's Mansion after their missions were over, which made them somewhat hopeful.
After Ren Baqian arranged everything, when he walked out the door, he saw Lin Qiaole leaning against the wall and yawning, with a musty smell on his body.
And the guards in the palace also packed up their things.
"Where's Your Majesty?" Ren Baqian asked.
"Already left first."
"Let's go!" Ren Baqian ordered.
When he left the mansion, there were still some people standing by the side of the road waiting for him.
The people in the Duwei's mansion who were still in the city consciously followed him and set off, but there were more than two hundred people gathered.
Not far away, Zuo Cheng and Qing Yunjian led the people of the hidden village to stand on the roof, pointing at Ren Baqian slightly, and then dozens of figures jumped away from the roofs.
These people do not belong to the Captain's Mansion, but they will not stay away from Ren Baqian, and even obey Ren Baqian's orders at certain times, they can be regarded as a group of people with a relatively special status.
After Ren Baqian set off, the remaining Jianghu warriors finally breathed a sigh of relief. These days they are here almost dare not take a breath.
Now these people are gone at last, and they seem to be forgotten.
They hoped that Ren Baqian would forget them forever.
However, they were relieved at this moment, and an order came: "All warriors from all sects and factions set out with the army. They must arrive before evening, and those who disobey the order will be beheaded! The family members of the captain's mansion can stay behind!"
