Ren Baqian and the empress were holding hands, with the other hand resting on a stack of boxes bundled up next to it, which contained a lot of cakes, candies, and wine.
As the light around the two of them began to distort, the scene in front of them changed instantly to the somewhat dim Empress's bedroom.
Then the two of them saw a woman with glasses in iron armor standing in front of them and holding her fists together: "Your Majesty!"
The pair of glasses with red alloy frames added a lot of femininity to Xinzhe's appearance.
"Why are you waiting here?"
The empress let go of Ren Baqian's hand, and broke the rope outside the box, took a box from above and opened it, which was full of candy.
"Your Majesty, Great Xia has invaded again!" Xin Zhe said in a deep voice.
Da Xia had started preparations a few months ago, the Empress had also received the news, and even Hong Wu had started preparations a long time ago, so she was not surprised to hear it at this time.
The queen, who was about to grab a handful of candy, paused, took out a piece of Dove chocolate, slowly tore open the outer packaging, stuffed the chocolate into her mouth, turned around and asked, "When? What's the situation?"
"Xia Jun left Tiesuo Pass last night, crossed the national border, and started attacking Pingcheng, Shuncheng, and Ziyue City this morning." Xin Zhe reported.
"Tell the General Fuguo to be careful," said the Empress.
At this time last year, Daxia did not know how to persuade Lu Pinghai to attack Hongwu. This time, Hongwu may still be the opponent's key target.
As long as there is nothing wrong with Hongwu, the Northern Protectorate Army will not be in chaos.
20,000 warriors of the ancient tribe were used to defend the city, enough to resist the opponent's 500,000 army.
"Also, Chen Guo also stepped up his attack this morning." Xin Zhe said again.
"Can't they sit still? Chen is just a small country, its army is good at water warfare but not land warfare, so what if the whole country attacks?" the empress sneered. "Xin Zhe, let's go down first, go and put Tong Zhenye and Qin Chuan down, and then go to inform the ministers to go to court to discuss politics in an hour."
"Your Majesty, this Great Xia is mainly for revenge, and secondly for encircling Yao and saving Yun!" Ren Baqian said beside him.
"Our goal is their 500,000 army. As long as they are wiped out, Great Xia will fall into civil strife. No matter who wins or loses, there will be no energy left to worry about us in ten years."
"I know." The Empress nodded.
"I'll take these things back first, and His Majesty needs to change clothes." Ren Baqian said.
"It's all mine!" The empress directly pointed to the stack of boxes with her hand, and raised her chin slightly.
"There's also a box of street lamp heads inside." Ren Baqian couldn't help but laugh.
"You take the lamp head, and the rest are mine." The empress continued to proclaim her sovereignty.
Ren Baqian pointed to the box and said, "Wine—"
In fact, he still wants to take some wine back home, and occasionally wants to drink in the middle of the night, and he doesn't know when he contracted this problem.
Probably because I want to celebrate my arrival in this world every night.
"It's all mine." The empress refused to budge.
Ren Baqian had to leave with a box of light bulbs in his arms, and when he returned to the yard, he saw bigger and bigger licks and rolls, which were now a little taller than him, reminding him all the time—pandas are not cats, but bears .
Fortunately, although these two guys are a bit bigger and stupid, they still have good personalities. When they saw Ren Baqian, they rushed over and bit Ren Baqian's arm with their fangs, and then he slapped him back one by one.
Well, they liked to bite and play like this when they were young, and there was nothing wrong with them at that time, but now if they bite again, the skin would have to be torn off by ordinary people.
"You two are getting uglier and uglier!" Ren Baqian looked at the two dazed and cute guys rolling on the ground, feeling regretful in his heart, he was so cute when he was a child, but he has grown crooked. After raising it for so long, I am not willing to send it to the zoo.
The listening cub—the golden retriever quickly took out two moldy dried fruits from the fur on the back of its licking neck, compared the sizes in its hands, then hid the bigger one back, and jumped onto Ren Baqian's shoulders , and handed the small one to him.
"You bastard!" Ren Baqian stretched out his fingers and rubbed the top of its head, then pointed at the two pandas rolling on the ground with a sad face: "Don't grow crooked like them in the future."
"Zha!" Jin Mao yelled, and handed him the small dried fruit again.
"Forget it, keep it for yourself." After Ren Baqian finished speaking, the golden retriever immediately jumped back to lick his neck, and hid the dried fruit in its fur.
"Sure enough, it's affection made of plastic!" Ren Baqian couldn't help but shook his head, opened the box, and called two guards to follow him to change the bulbs of the street lamps.
At noon the next day, the square between Beihong District and Zhulian District was crowded with people. The scorching sun in the sky did not dampen the enthusiasm of the crowd around the square.
"What are so many people doing?" A passer-by carrying goods asked in confusion when he saw this situation.
"I don't know, I heard that His Majesty will come soon." The person who was called immediately replied.
"About what time?"
"I don't know the details, but it's probably coming soon!"
When the passer-by heard this, he began to hesitate in his heart, whether it was more important to deliver the goods or wait to see the empress... The two thoughts fought fiercely in his mind for two seconds, and the idea of waiting to see the empress won a hard victory.
At this moment, bursts of cheers came from the crowd.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" The chaotic shouts spread throughout the audience.
Upon hearing this voice, everyone knew that the empress was coming.
Sure enough, the crowd began to separate towards the two sides like a tide, and the Empress Luanjia, who was behind two rows of guards, slowly entered the arena.
Following the empress came the ministers of the court.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" As the curtain of the Empress Luanjia was lifted, everyone cheered again when they saw the Empress standing up and stepping out of the Luanjia.
"Your Majesty is really loved!" Ren Baqian said beside him.
"Because Your Majesty is Dayao's most beautiful treasure!" Tong Zhenye said at the side, and then looked at Ren Baqian with the expression on his face that you boy took advantage of it. Your Majesty's liking for you is the greatest blessing in your life.
"Because the many decrees issued by His Majesty have lightened many of the burdens on the people. Besides, Your Majesty is the Majesty of the ancient clan, so the people will naturally love her." Tu Wan continued from the side.
Everyone got off their mounts one after another and looked up at the twenty-foot-tall concrete building.
The building is rough without much decoration. In the eyes of the ancient people, as long as it is big enough, it conforms to their aesthetics.
As high as twenty feet, sixty-seven meters, it can be said to be the tallest man-made structure in the world, and it is already a masterpiece in the eyes of the ancient people.
In the end, under the strong request of Ren Baqian, a layer of colored stone flakes of different sizes was pasted on the surface as a decoration, making the bell tower look like a dreamy color.
At this time, the empress's favorite red cloth was used to completely block the clock dial at the top of the clock tower.
Since the clock dial was installed, no one has seen the real face of the clock dial.
And now the true face is finally revealed.
