The Empress's Gigolo

Chapter 438: Notify

Ren Baqian extended his neck to take a look. Sure enough, it was the little lolita. She was holding local snacks in her hand and another tall student was by her side.

The both of them were standing side by side, and when looking at them from behind, it made people feel that they were a father-daughter duo.

“If there’s any news, remember to notify me,” Ren Baqian said.

“They don’t trust me very much either. After all, we are both foreigners. In fact, since things have progressed to this stage, you don’t have to worry anymore.” Su Qing laughed.

Ren Baqian felt that there were a lot of things which he had to worry about. He had to worry about everything that the other party told him not to worry about.

The information obtained by both parties was inherently unequal.

“I’ll get someone to pass the letter to you when I return. As for the two other conditions, I’ll notify you again. Within this short period of time, the rebellion in Tianjing Basin won’t stop.” Ren Baqian nodded at him, got up, and left with Lin Qiaole.

From the beginning to the end, Su Qing’s expressions were very calm, as if he had a trick up his sleeve.

In any case, he had to adopt a stance on this issue and could not let Ren Baqian see through the real situation.

Only he himself knew that he was deeply worried prior to meeting Ren Baqian.

After Ren Baqian left, Su Qing began to laugh. He then poured himself a glass of wine and sipped it.

Great Xia was already rotten and should have been overturned by the other nations long ago.

This time, meeting Qi Zixiao’s husband was an unexpected surprise for him.

The biggest reason why he said everything clearly was that he wasn’t afraid if Ren Baqian knew everything.

Even if the aboriginals knew that Great Xia was in a mess, what difference would it make? At present, the amount of land Dayao had was already sufficient for those barbarians to squander. Even if Great Xia got itself tangled in a mess, the aboriginals could only rob them while the tide was against them. Would they still stay in Great Xia any longer than that?

These barbarians didn’t have that many talents who could manage the place. On the contrary, if their territory was too big, they would die trying to sustain their lands.

In addition, Great Xia wasn’t Tianjing Basin and Qi Zixiao wasn’t the world’s number one expert.

Those experts wouldn’t appear even if there was a war or during the transition period between dynasties.

If the aboriginals made their way into Great Xia and didn’t want to leave, someone would naturally show up.

100 million taels of silver. He was confident that it would tempt Ren Baqian. It was more than 10 years of Dayao’s treasury revenue and was something that they wouldn’t be able to achieve even after 100 years.

These people… were hopeless!

Su Qing drank alcohol by himself and looked in the direction of the warlord’s residence. As he silently thought about these issues, a smile began to form on his face.

What did these people have to do with him?

Ren Baqian went downstairs and whispered to Lin Qiaole, “I saw Tong Lan just now, and she’s just ahead. Go and find them, but don’t alarm them. Let me know when you return.”

“Why do I feel that I’m getting busier these days?” Lin Qiaole was rather discontent.

Nevertheless, Lin Qiaole knew about Tong Lan. After all, they previously went to harvest salt together. Furthermore, this time around, they had also traveled together to Tianjing Basin. Although she was sleeping most of the time, she could still remember who the youngest girl was.

Ren Baqian gave her the side eye and asked,”Where did you get the courage to speak like that?”

Before she could even rebut, Ren Baqian hurriedly said, “I’ll give you an extra three candies. Go quickly.”

Lin Qiaole grinned, and in a flash, she landed on the rooftop and opened her eyes to their widest extent to search for Tong Lan.

Ren Baqian took a good stretch. Now, he could finally take a breather.

Originally, he was worried that even if he brought the empress back to Earth during a crisis, they would still be surrounded by the other party when they returned. This would be really troublesome. After all, the other party wouldn’t give up easily. In the absence of other means, who knew if they would wait idly for Ren Baqian and the empress to return.

As long as he notified Xi Wanya, he wouldn’t need to worry about anything else.

Perhaps, the other party’s so-called encirclement of the empress would turn into an annihilation of themselves?

If so, it would become a trap created by the empress and himself. They would just have to wait for those idiots to make their way into the trap.

Regardless of whether those were the facts or not, if he said yes, then it meant yes.

At present, while he was walking on the street, he was no longer irritated and his back and legs weren’t aching anymore. Instead, he was sizing up the shops on both sides of the streets with great interest as well as the pedestrians who were coming and going.

A short while later, Lin Qiaole returned to Ren Baqian’s side and said, “Found them.”

Following her instructions, Ren Baqian saw Tong Lan. That young brat was still arguing with the other student about where the inn was located.

Ren Baqian didn’t approach the two of them. He found a shop on the road, borrowed some paper and a pen, and wrote some simplified Chinese characters on the paper before crushing it into a paper ball. After that, he handed it to Lin Qiaole.

When the two students turned into a secluded alley and were preparing to walked onto another street, Lin Qiaole threw the balled up paper at Tong Lan.

Tong Lan reacted very quickly. She jumped directly into the air, turned around, and discovered that a paper ball was thrown at her. At the same time, Lin Qiaole, who was standing on a rooftop, was looking at her.

“It’s her?” Tong Lan was flabbergasted.

“Who?” the other student asked.

“The bed warmer who’s always with Yagui!” Tong Lan’s lips curled. “Yagui must be in the vicinity.”

[Bed warmer: when a guy and a girl has a “special” relationship]

“What does bed warmer mean?”

Tong Lan sank into deep thought.

This was a good question.

The weather was already hot; wouldn’t it be even hotter if someone were to warm the bed?

When I return to Dayao, I’ll ask grandfather!

She subsequently picked up the paper ball and remarked, “It seems like this is for us.”

The message read, “There will be great changes. Think of a way to inform the other four groups and quickly leave Tianjing Basin. Instead of traveling through the towns, leave through the wilderness.

-Your grandfather will always be your grandfather. Your teacher will always be your teacher!”

“That damn Yagui!” Tong Lan cursed after seeing how Ren Baqian signed off on the message.

As a matter of fact, with these simplified Chinese characters and the appearance of Lin Qiaole, even if there wasn’t such a sign off, she would have known who had written it. Yet, he had to write such an annoying message.

Great changes? These people are going to start a revolt? the other student subconsciously thought of this conclusion. After all, most of the students who came here were second or third generation descendants of Dayao officials. Even those students who originally didn’t know about the situation here had gotten up to speed by now.

“I’m afraid so. Let’s go back and look for the others.” Tong Lan glared at him. “This is all because your brain is only filled with muscles. If it wasn’t because of you, we wouldn’t have lost our way!”

“It’s because they built this city in a way that is too messy. As a result, it’s difficult to find our way. ” Immediately, the other student pushed the blame away. Otherwise, he would be nagged by this little girl for a long time. Moreover, he wasn’t able to defeat her.

After spending two and a half days, the two of them finally returned to the inn. Everyone else in their group had already returned earlier on.

The two of them called everyone else into a room and showed the note to the others.

“If they are starting a revolt, how can we escape? If we return now, won’t we be mocked by the others?”

“Why don’t we kill their warlord?”

“This idea is pretty good!”

Many people were stirred up.

It was difficult for them to earn meritorious deeds on the battlefield, but now, the opportunity was right in front of them.

“They also have experts. You guys are nowhere near their standards! Since Yagui has spoken, let’s leave here first. The other groups still don’t know about this issue yet.” At last, someone rational had opened his mouth.

Otherwise, it would have been another tragedy that resulted in a “decrease in the aboriginals’ population.”
