Chapter 542: The Strong Doesn’t Need Fairness

Ren Baqian and the empress didn’t wait for the two idiots to come back before returning to Dayao.

On returning to Dayao, Ren Baqian was still thinking about how the two idiots managed to become the honoured guests of the three fatties. In addition, the horses running through traffic lights, beating up the traffic police and those they weren’t supposed to beat, smashing up the bathhouse and prostitution dens, etc…

The experience of these two fools was really rich and colourful.

He had prepared some good wine to drink while waiting for the story to unfold.

“Don’t think about it, go back and calm the rebels down. I am returning to Lan City as I miss it.” The empress said.

Ren Baqian grabbed the empress’s palm with one hand and held the boxes which were tied together with the other. These boxes contained the flash bombs and grenades.

The flash bombs were much more effective than the grenades when used appropriately.

The scene in front of the two transformed instantaneously and they appeared in a bedroom in Dayao.

The sound of impending rain reached their ears.

Ren Baqian walked to the window and opened it to take a look. The whole sky was overcast and raindrops, the size of beans, fell down.

“I wonder whether it’s raining in Youxin City. The citizens there may not be able to stand such heavy rain and we should mobilize the physicians and also send medical herbs over.” Ren Baqian said. Encountering a catastrophe, escaping from the city and being exposed to the elements were already frightening.The addition of such a heavy rain would cause many to fall sick.

“You go ahead and make the necessary arrangements.” The empress was holding a robot dog which was sent by Jiao Han on the second day. It didn’t have many functions, but it was much better than the products that cost a few hundred or a few thousand yuan that were available in the market.

Such a robot dog would cost at least tens of thousands.

It could wander among the family members and feel the touch of the empress and growl happily. It could also lick the furniture, eat the shoes and bite the curtain….

Ren Baqian felt that the functions of this robot dog were confusing… Was it a gift to be given to someone you dislike?

This was the Husky version of the robot!

However, the empress liked it very much. Seeing the robot dog biting the legs of a chair, she would put her fingers into its mouth and the robot dog would growl happily, turn around a few times on the same spot and somersault on the floor.

Ren Baqian thought for a while and concluded that maybe the empress liked this breed of dog?

He could give her a whole bunch of Huskies, then the palace wouldn’t be peaceful anymore. At the thought of a herd of Huskies running wild around the palace…

“It doesn’t even know to send an umbrella over.” Ren Baqia muttered in his room.

“Please wait!” The empress gave the robot dog a kick, got behind Ren Baqian, put her chin on his shoulder and stared out of the window.

Ren Baqian felt two soft tips touching his back and moved his hands backwards to hold the waist of the empress, but, she grabbed his two hands and lifted them up to the sides like a cross.

In another word, it was like what happened to Jack and Rose on the Titanic.

There was a drain outside the window and if a person were to jump, he could only land in the drain.

“Your Majesty, it isn’t fair!” Ren Baqian turned his head and the skin at the corner of his eye touched her forehead.

“When did you know how to say the word “fairness”?” The empress pressed her nose close to his ear and exhaled hot breath on his earlobe.

“You must remember that the strong do not need fairness!”

Ren Baqian was deeply impressed by her words.

From a personal point of view, the weak will use the word “fairness” when they seek to change their situation. The strong do not need fairness.

“However, from the perspective of a country, the people need to see fairness being practiced or else the country will fall into chaos. Based on this, the rule will face the same punishment as the common people if he break the law.”

“Who will administer the punishment for me?” The empress asked in a clear voice.

“Your Majesty is always right! If there’s any doubt, refer to the previous sentence.” Ren Baqian said with a smile.

The empress put her head on his shoulder and displayed a slight smile.

The two stood quietly at the window for a long time before they saw Qing Yuan coming with an umbrella to check whether the two were back. The rain was heavy and the wax-paper umbrella was only meant for one person. Half of Qing Yuan’s body was soaking wet and the clothes stuck to her body.

The empress disengaged from Ren Baqian, retreated a few steps and used her toes to flip the robot dog into her arms.

“Thank you very much, Miss Qing Yuan!” Ren Baqian opened the door and smilingly took the umbrella from Qing Yuan. He waved at the empress, “Your Majesty, I will get someone to bring another umbrella over. This umbrella cannot withstand such a heavy rain and your clothes will get wet.”

After a few steps outside, he felt the wind and the rain pelting him.

Ren Baqian found a guard outside the courtyard and told him to send an umbrella to the empress. He went to the courtyard where Wang Baobao was kept and saw the fool under the eaves looking at ants moving about. She didn’t care about being wet, the thin clothes clung to her body and showed an outline similar to a flower bud.

To put it simply, she was like Lin Qiaole with no chest, no buttocks and nothing worth seeing.

On walking back to his courtyard, he saw Zuo Leng holding an umbrella in one hand and waving his long sword continuously with the other to block the rain from coming in with the wind.

“Sir!” Zuo Leng immediately sheathed his sword on seeing Ren Baqian and his body started to get wet from the raindrops.

“What’s the matter?” Ren Baqian asked.

“There is news from Hu Cheng.” Zuo Leng said.

“Go in and tell me about it.” Ren Baqian led Zuo Leng into the house and asked Zuo Leng to wait while he changed his clothes in the rear hall.

“How’s the situation?” Ren Baqian asked. He specifically asked for news from Hu Cheng when he was in Youxin City, but didn’t receive any news all along and he assumed that Xie Kun died with the rebels or perished in the fire.

After all, Hu Cheng wasn’t that strong. He was only a Man Wheel expert. Such warriors were considered good during peacetime, but weren’t able to defend themselves during wartime.

He didn’t expect Xie Kun to be still alive.

“I received this secret letter one day ago. Xie Kun and Rao Yu have joined together and planning to escape.” Zuo Leng took the secret letter from his bosom and presented it with both hands.

Ren Baqian took the letter and read it through carefully.

According to the content, on the day Xie Kun fled outside the city, he met with rebel soldiers hiding there and led them through the mountains and forests. They finally arrived at Chun City after a few days and joined forces with Rao Yu.

This army was the defeated army that Xie Kun originally took with him during the retreat and was fifty thousand in number. In addition, there were the elephant, monkey and insect soldiers from Six Doors.

This time, Ren Baqian knew how many elephant soldiers there were and it was close to 300. It must be mentioned that this was quite a considerable fighting force.

However, the soldiers were jittery and there were many deserters, but there were still about 45,000 of them.

The number of soldiers was 150,000 after the combination with Rao Yu.

But both sides didn’t dare to confront the aboriginals in Chun City and were preparing to withdraw to the south.

There were three reasons for doing this. One was hoping that the aboriginals would distribute their soldiers to the various cities, but this possibility was low as the aboriginals wouldn’t distribute their soldiers unless the situation was stable as a fragmentation of forces now might give the rebel forces an opportunity.

The second reason was to stretch the supply line of the aboriginals.

After all, the appetite of the aboriginals was voracious and even if the cities were to supply them, the supply line would be stretched and this was the aim of the rebel forces.

The possibility of this happening was there, but not likely as the aboriginals would take all the food supply from the cities that they pass by if pressed and leave the citizen with nothing so that the troops could be sustained for a period of time.

This would cause some people to oppose, but it would be too late. It would take time for these people to act and by then Xie Kun and Rao Yu would have been already exterminated.

The last possibility was that somewhere in the south, there was an area with topological advantage and they were waiting to engage the aboriginals in a final battle.

“What do you think?” Ren Baqian looked up and asked.

“Their goal should be Da Yunze!” Zuo Leng immediately shared his thought.

“What place is that?”

“The den of Six Doors is nearby and Da Yunze is a swamp! It’s said to be very dangerous. Most of the people who go in die there and less than 30 percent can get out alive!”

“It looks like this is the place!” Ren Baqian knew he had guessed correctly after hearing this.

The Six Doors should be very familiar with this place and knew which places were dangerous and which were safe.

If the aboriginals were to go in hastily, the casualties would be very high… But they couldn’t just wait outside and wait until they die of hunger.

At this point, Ren Baqian stood up and walked out to look for the empress to tell her about the secret letter and his conjectures.

“Your Majesty, I propose that Captain Gong immediately lead the winged cavalry to intercept and prevent them from entering Da Yunze. At the same time, Protector General Xi, Assistant Protector General Zong, Commander Qing and Lin Qiaole will set forth together. The other side has three unusual creatures and also six Spirit Wheel experts. Protector General Xi and company will not be able to handle them and the presence of Your Majesty is needed.”

“This battle is the decisive battle!”
