Pingcheng is located at the northernmost end of Dayao, and is only half a day away from the iron chains of Daxia.

This small town has a population of only 50,000, but it is like a sharp knife pointing directly at Daxia for decades, making Daxia unable to make progress.

Pingcheng's city wall is five feet high, covered with various marks of burning stones, and repairs are everywhere. Blood stains from many places have long been seeped into the city wall.

At this time, Pingcheng was even more broken than usual, and there were still many scattered gravel outside the city, which were traces left by the catapult cart in Daxia.

Regardless of the retreat of the Daxia army, the military and civilians in Pingcheng could have a good rest at this time, but at this time, the city was covered with torches, and Hongwu and a group of generals were greeted outside the city.

After waiting for a while, I heard the sound of hooves coming from the darkness, and everyone showed joy on their faces.

After a moment, outlines began to appear in the darkness, and then became clearer.

Hongwu saw the head hanging on the flying cavalry at a glance. The ancient clan had no habit of cutting off the enemy's head as spoils. They always carried the heads of their colleagues and had to be sent back to the 60,000 mountains.

When he saw the glaring head hanging next to Li Tanhua's mount, Hong Wu's face remained unmoved, but he sighed in his heart.

Lin Yaoqi has a very talented person and is very optimistic about him. He has great hope of reaching his own level in the future.

When he saw Qi Shui, Hong Wu said in a long voice: "I will welcome Your Majesty." His eyes were like a knife and poked towards Ren Baqian on Qi Shui's back.

After all, this incident was because of him.

Even though the Empress returns at this time and destroys the Jiule Pavilion and becomes the fifth in the world, he hopes that such a thing will never happen.

Not to mention that Ren Baqian was riding with the Empress at this time, but he dared and His Majesty even allowed it.

Not only him, but also the other generals also showed surprise eyes.

Ren Baqian felt everyone's eyes, and he felt a little awkward.

It was a good idea to be outside before, but now it seems a bit inappropriate to ride with the empress under the noses of the generals. With this incident, these people will definitely not like them, so they can jump down obediently.

However, as soon as he was about to jump off Qi Shui's back, his waist felt numb and half of his body could not move. Then he grabbed one hand on his clothes and firmly fixed himself there.

"Go into the city and talk." The empress said to everyone.

"Yes." Everyone answered the order immediately.

Ren Baqian rode into the city with the empress in full view, but Hongwu and several others noticed the empress's small movements and shook their heads secretly in their hearts.

When everyone entered the city, everyone was paying attention to the flying cavalry. Just as they looked at it, everyone found that the number of flying cavalry was wrong. It was not that there were fewer, but that there were too many.

Now the ten teams of flying cavalry have returned to seven teams, which means that the empress has at most three teams of flying cavalry, with more than 400 people.

As far as they know, this group of people had been intercepted at least three times, once not far from Yuyang Mountain, and once at Lianyin Mountain Pass. More than 6,000 people were killed in Daxia. These have already obtained information from Daxia, but everyone saw that the number of flying riders was not missing at first glance.

There was also the interception of Luoyue Gorge behind. Although everyone didn't know the specific details, they could guess a little. Therefore, Hongwu arranged for Lin Yaoqi to lead a thousand people to pick up the empress.

But now, the heads of those thousand people were brought back. Everyone could see the heads hanging on both sides of the flying cavalry mount at a glance, and also see the heads of Lin Yao cavalry. According to the normal situation, the battle should be very tragic, but the flying cavalry still had no damage.

This surprised everyone.

On the way back to the city, everyone counted carefully, and there were six people missing in total, and there were exactly six empty mounts.

Everyone was in a question mark, not knowing what was going on. Is the strength of the flying cavalry really so strong? But in addition to the fourth team, there were also three teams who had many injuries, and only half of them came back, and everyone else was also lucky.

After entering the general's mansion in the middle of Pingcheng, Ren Baqian was arranged to rest, and the empress sat in the same hall with the generals.

"I was originally going to welcome Your Majesty in person, but a few days ago, the Great Xia began to attack Pingcheng. I had to sit here and send the commander Lin Yao cavalry to welcome Your Majesty. I also asked Your Majesty to forgive me." Hongwu said first.

"It's okay" the empress waved her hand.

"Your Majesty..." Hongwu first accused him, and then couldn't help but say.

“This time it’s really reckless.”

The empress waved her hand coldly: "No need to say more, I know what to say."

She had a strong aura, but one hand was pinching her fingers in her sleeve. She didn't know this time, but she just didn't want to hear others say anything. What's more, she just chose her husband and was poisoned by someone, and she would use this poison half-dead, so where would she put her face?

Also, she didn't want to see Ren Baqian die.

After all, for the first time in so many years, someone has made her heart moved, and she can think about it from time to time, and feel the first time she feels excited.

But these things and girlish feelings cannot be told to outsiders.

After seeing the empress for a long time, Hongwu had to sigh in his heart that His Majesty had changed, and finally he had to change his words: "Your Majesty is still going well?"

The empress turned her head and thought, "It's going well."

"Can there be a large army intercept Luoyue Gorge?"

The empress sneered: "There is a man named Jia Yugong and the two elders Zhumu. They waited for decades and luckily entered the top ten in the world, but they dared to make up my mind."

Hongwu was slightly surprised. The two elders Zhumu were indeed tricky figures, and they were actually invited by Daxia.

After the news of His Majesty's blowing the flower scattering flowing back from the Nine-Level Pavilion, he knew that His Majesty must have used secret techniques to stimulate his bloodline, and he must have not recovered now. Just now, he looked at the breath, but it was indeed not recovered, even in his heyday. If he met the two elders of Zhumu, it would be difficult to get out.

But the empress sat here safely at this time.

He asked immediately: "What's going on with those two now?"

"Of course I'm sending them to find flowers and scattered." The empress snorted coldly.

Everyone in the hall was shocked. The empress went out and not only killed Hua Sanliu, but also killed the two Zhumu, who had just been promoted to the top ten. However, even Hongwu thought it was really terrifying.

If it were Ren Baqian here, he would definitely jump out and say: "Your Majesty has achieved civility and martial ethics and unified the world, and the East is unbeaten and I am the only one who is the only one."

However, these people went to amaze and there was no one who flattered him.

So the empress always feels that the same person is more popular.

Hongwu was also surprised, but he didn't ask much about this matter, so it would be more suitable to ask Feiqi back.

"Your Majesty is mighty." Hongwu said in the end, and then a crowd of sounds in the hall: "Your Majesty is mighty."

"Lin Yao's cavalry army was wiped out. I wonder what happened?" Hongwu asked again. Not only did he want to know about this, but others also wanted to know about it.

"You go back and ask Feiqi." The empress shook her head slightly.

Lin Yaoqin was ambushed and wiped out by others on the way, and she didn't want to tell me about this.

After saying a few more words, the empress said, "I am tired, you can step down first, and we will discuss it tomorrow if you have something to do."

After everyone left, only Hongwu was left standing there.

"The general has something to do?" When the empress faced Hongwu alone, her attitude became much more kind.

"I would like to ask, is it true that there are rumors that Your Majesty poisoned the people of Jiuchun Pavilion and 4,000 people from Lianyin Mountain Pass?"

The empress nodded.

"Is it the work of Ren Fucheng?" Hongwu can be said to be one of the people who know the Empress the best. Maybe some things are not clear, but he is sure that the Empress will not use poison.

The empress thought about it and it should be his work, so she continued to nod.

"Your Majesty, this person is really dangerous to do with such means. And as far as I know, he has seen Pichi before, so it may not be suitable for you to be with Your Majesty." Hongwu said.

Although Ren Baqian still looks powerless and can't even beat a child, he can't kill thousands of people. His tricks to poison thousands of people are really terrible, and he is still by the Empress.

Just looking at His Majesty's previous attitude, he could only give such a roundabout way of admonition, hoping that His Majesty would reconsider it.

"This is my private matter. I have known about Pichi for a long time, so I don't need to mention this matter." The empress's face became a little bit silly.

Seeing this, Hongwu knew that he could not persuade His Majesty now, so he had to say helplessly: "That me will send His Majesty to rest."

The empress nodded slightly.

Watching the empress walk into the room, Hongwu withdrew his gaze and sighed for a long time.

At this time, his mood was more complicated than watching his daughter grow up and being rude by a pig. He didn't take that person seriously at first, but now it makes him feel that it is not as simple as he saw before.

But Your Majesty is still doing something that this is my private matter. You all shut up for me, so that he knows that the Empress has really made up her mind. Although he had guessed it from His Majesty's trip to Daxia before, he is even more certain now that it is difficult to speak any further.
