Returning to Dayao

By the time Ren Baqian reached the foot of the mountain, the winged cavalry warriors that went to chase after the fleeing Great Xia soldiers had returned. Severed limbs were strewn all over the ground, and there were no survivors.

The air was pervaded with the stench of blood, causing Ren Baqian's nose to feel uncomfortable. He tried his best not to cover his nose.

These winged cavalry warriors risked their lives to search for the empress in Great Xia and engaged in a fierce battle with Great Xia soldiers. Ren Baqian would come off as insensitive if he covered his nose now.

The empress was just standing there observing the scene. Ren Baqian actually knew the captain standing beside the empress. It was Teng Ji. However, when Teng Ji saw Ren Baqian, he gave him a disdainful look.

After all, the empress had placed herself in such a precarious situation for him. He should count himself lucky that they did not hack him to pieces when they saw him.
