The banquet that night was not considered lively. After all, everyone didn't return with a big victory, and it could even be said that they were disheartened.
However, it is too emotional and reasonable, this banquet is indispensable.
On the second day, many masters returned one after another, while Ren Baqian went to Izumo.
In addition to Lin Qiaole, there was also Lin Qiaole's best friend Lin Yue who was accompanying her. The two girls who were not able to use their brains got together and hit it off at first sight.
The others are Gluttonous Man and Li Yuanzhu.
There is also a person that Ren Baqian can never think of—Xin Zhe.
"Your Majesty's order, no matter where Prince Zhao goes, I will follow!" Xin Zhe pushed the glasses, and the lights flashed on them.
"Your Majesty asked you to protect me personally? Then you have to follow me when I go to the bathroom?" Ren Baqian smiled. The biggest advantage of this grand commander is loyalty, and the biggest disadvantage is that he is only loyal!
Well, still able to play!
But they don't know anything about what's going on outside the palace.
"No, His Majesty means to follow! You have to follow when you eat and sleep!" Xin Zhe said frankly. Xinzhe thought that he had fully understood the order of the empress.
Ren Baqian opened his mouth, even if His Majesty wants you to monitor me, wouldn't it be good for you to say it as personal protection? Do you want to be so straightforward
Li Yuanzhu nodded slightly at Ren Baqian and smiled, "Qi Zixiao really cares about you, husband-in-law!"
Ren Baqian sighed quietly, isn't that guy just guarding against you!
woman!
It doesn't matter whether you go up to the emperor of a country or down to the peddlers, some things are born, this is a talent!
However, Your Majesty, are you overthinking it? After all, he is the third best expert in the world, how many of them will be blind like you—the one who knows people with eyesight? People nowadays, they only know how to look at their faces, superficial!
What's the use of looking at faces? Don't you have to fight for length in the end
Cough cough, I was wrong, but she is the third in the world, not Lin Qiaole who can be kidnapped with a lollipop! It's not Lin Yue who can be kidnapped with a handful of melon seeds!
"Set off!"
On the road, Li Yuanzhu and Mr. Glutton noticed that the road from Lancheng to Izumo was different from other places. There was an extremely clean and tidy road, which looked like a stone, but it was not a stone.
They have seen this kind of material in Lancheng, it seems to be called cement.
Unexpectedly, Dayao would use this kind of material to pave the official road.
"Where does this road go?" Li Yuanzhu asked.
"Izumo!"
"Great, there was no such way a few years ago!" The gluttonous man was speechless.
"From construction to completion, it took a total of more than three years, and it is more than 1,600 miles long!" Ren Baqian is also quite proud of this road.
This is Dayao's first official road, but not the last.
"With this road, it is estimated that the time will be shortened by half! You have also worked hard, and it seems that the nobles who ran away in Izumo don't have to worry about it!" the gluttonous man said casually.
Leaving aside Ren Baqian's nuclear bomb, there is such a road, and it takes only four or five days to get from Arashi City to Izumo, and it will be difficult for those people to make any noise.
"When the railway from Arashi City to Izumo is trimmed, senior will look again! From Arashi City to Izumo,
"And the railway that is still under construction from Lancheng to Izumo is completed, and it only takes two days to send a hundred thousand troops from Lancheng to Izumo!" Ren Baqian pointed into the distance.
The two were skeptical, and it was not impossible to get there in two days for more than a thousand miles. If it was the big bird under Ren Baqian, it would be able to reach it in one day.
But the one hundred thousand army is different. With the addition of food, fodder and weapons, it is not a small number. It will be good if it can reach the speed of a normal carriage in about ten days!
Although the two of them had never led soldiers, they could still imagine it.
Ren Baqian said that it only takes two days, which is really amazing!
"Hey, this road is easier to walk than Daxia's official road!" After walking on this road for a long time, the three of them talked for a long time, Lin Yue suddenly said in surprise.
"It is indeed much easier to walk than the previous road! The original road, when you run, you will be covered in muddy water!" Lin Qiaole nodded, and she followed Ren Baqian to a lot of places. What is the condition of those dirt roads? clearly.
Lin Yue looked thoughtful.
The next day I continued to look thoughtful.
On the third day, Lin Yue suddenly remembered something: "Your bowl seems to have a smell!"
Ren Baqian immediately covered his face, you two have been eating together for several days, did you realize this
"This is body fragrance! He said it!" Lin Qiaole pointed at Ren Baqian.
Lin Yue continued to think about it.
Facing the strange eyes of Li Yuanzhu and the gluttonous man, Ren Baqian hurriedly said, "I didn't, I didn't say anything! Lin Qiaole, when did you learn to frame things?"
"That time when you ate something from His Majesty's bowl, you said it contained body odor!" Lin Qiaole said, don't try to play tricks!
Ren Baqian: ...
A group of fifty guards, all using high-quality mounts, caught up with Qin Chuan at the border of Izumo in four days.
"Master Qin, it's the two of us who are out to do things this time, and we have to trouble Mr. Qin!" Ren Baqian cupped his hands.
"Prince Zhao doesn't just do things, does he?" Qin Chuan cupped his hands at Ren Baqian, raised his face and pointed at Li Yuanzhu and others with his chin. "Forget it, I can't control what Prince Zhao wants to do. His Majesty's order to me is not to let anyone go."
"This is Your Majesty's order!" Ren Baqian handed the empress's handwritten letter to Qin Chuan. After Qin Chuan opened it, he felt as if a mountain was pressed on the paper, and every word was a beautiful mountain.
This is the font of the empress. The empress's characters are all condensed in it. Ordinary people will be shocked by the words at a glance, but masters can see the strength of the person who wrote them.
At the beginning, the Empress also used this method to deceive many masters in Daxia!
Qin Chuan glanced at it, carefully folded the handwriting and put it in his arms: "Master Ren, I will go to Pingdu first, rest there for a month, and use this time to collect information on various sects. From big to small, one school after another, let them see if the old man's knife is sharp!"
"Thank you, Mr. Qin!" Ren Baqian smiled.
One month is not much. But at this time, it's not bad.
As for the collection of information on various sects, it was just casual talk. It is estimated that Zi Donglai has now checked all the eight generations of the ancestors of the various sects in Izumo.
"I'll meet again in Pingcheng in a month's time!" Ren Baqian cupped his hands at Qin Chuan.
This time is different from the last time in the Land of Sky Scenery. In the Land of Sky Scenery, everything was on the bright side. Whether it was the opponent or our own side, they were directly crushed by force.
But this time, there is a black hand hiding behind the scenes. If it is done like last time, I am afraid that nothing will be found out in a month, and the entire Izumo warriors will be wiped out by then.
Simply divide the troops into two groups.
Of course, Ren Baqian didn't expect to hide the whereabouts of himself and others, but it would be more convenient to act this way.
And with Li Yuanzhu, Glutton, Lin Yue, Lin Qiaole, and Xinzhe here, there is no need to worry about safety.
"All of you, follow Lord Qin for the time being." Ren Baqian said to the guards behind him.
