The Empress's Gigolo

Panda Novel

“I heard that you asked for a girl from the brothel. Are you following others and keeping a mistress in a splendid abode?” the empress asked casually the next day.

“Your Majesty is very well-informed!.” Ren Baqian exclaimed and gave her a thumbs-up.

The empress glanced at him. Was knowing about this matter considered being well-informed?

“Back then, the people from the hidden village felt that they shouldn’t be scorned by working in a place such as a brothel, so I sent her to Qingyun Sword.”

“This is why I said you are harboring a mistress! You deliberately chose a place that isn’t too far, yet not too close, and it’s somewhere I can’t be bothered with,” the empress grumbled.

Ren Baqian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Her Majesty must have watched too much television.

“She suffered several cuts on her face after being buried at House Yunyan last night. If she is disfigured, why would I still want to keep her?”

“You still can’t forget her despite her face being disfigured… I didn’t misjudge you—you don’t only care about physical looks!” the empress continued casually.

Ren Baqian didn’t know what to say. Was the empress praising him?

Was she going to be unreasonable today?

Ren Baqian felt that the ancient saying, “It’s futile and stupid to reason with a woman” was really appropriate.

“Why did Your Majesty go to House Yunyan?” Ren Baqian didn’t remember being buried at House Yunyan the previous day. It happened because the empress kicked down a pillar at House Yunyan after sending Qin Chuan and Tong Zhenye flying with her kicks.

“I wanted to know what was so attractive there,” the empress said nonchalantly.

“What attractions are you talking about? I was there just to accompany Minister Tong to chat and drink some wine. Still, I’m curious to know what conclusion you drew?”

“New people are more interesting, but old clothes are more comfortable.” The empress sighed sadly.

Ren Baqian was flustered when he realized that the empress was here to pick on him.

Furthermore, was it appropriate to say such things with an arrogant look? Her Majesty wasn’t convincing when pretending to act like an embittered woman!

He said with utmost caution, “Your Majesty, let’s watch less television in the future and deal more with affairs of state.”

The empress raised her eyebrows, looked at him obliquely, and declared, “You will be beaten severely!”

“Your Majesty, violence can’t solve any problems!” Ren Baqian exclaimed righteously.

“But it can fix the person who created the problem!” The empress laughed coldly.

Ren Baqian thought for a moment, sighed, and replied, “Your Majesty, what you said is correct!”

These words managed to pacify the empress. She darted a glance at him, then relented and said tenderly, “If you are able to beat me, I will listen to you!”

She hardened her stance as she continued, “However, you will never beat me, therefore you must listen to everything I say.”

What could Ren Baqian say?

“Your Majesty, you are far-sighted, wise, brilliant, and able to see through people. This is a skill that is beyond normal people!”

“Cut the crap!” The empress groaned. It was still kind of fun to intimidate Ren Baqian.

This was followed by official talk.

“Those auxiliary forces are just returning from the Yun Nation and are bringing back the loot they plundered from the various cities. There’s also a batch of prisoners, about 100,000 of them, and they should arrive in Lan City in one month’s time.”

Ren Baqian’s spirit was lifted. Dayao wasn’t like other countries and also wasn’t like ancient China, which didn’t have auxiliary forces. The auxiliary forces mentioned by the empress were the militia.

The militia drawn from various cities went to the Yun Nation to bring back the looted goods after their conquest and used these materials to replenish Dayao.

This trip was to transport these materials.

At the same time, the big batch of prisoners was important for the expansion of the cement and brick factories as well as for furthering the construction of roads.

“I will discuss this with Minister Tong.”

“Go visit Tu Wan. The army provisions needed for these people can be obtained from the Ministry of Revenue,” the empress added.

“I understand.” Ren Baqian nodded.

In the past, such matters were directed by the empress. Now, they were coordinated by Ren Baqian himself. Although it looked more troublesome, this was a kind of change that showed that Ren Baqian wasn’t totally dependent on the empress anymore.

That day, Ren Baqian didn’t rush to finish his work but went back to Earth instead.

Except for those two winged cavalry warriors, everyone else was in the villa.

He calculated that 12 days had already passed and that the Lantern Festival was almost over. However, there was still no trace of those two guys.

Ren Baqian gave Yang Sen a call and calmly asked, “Minister Yang, two of my men are missing. Have you found them?”

Yang Sen was expecting Ren Baqian to call, but when he heard the message, he almost vomited blood.

Your people are missing and have I found them?

Who would dare to touch your group of human bears? Furthermore, why are we the first ones you look for when your people go missing? Why do they go missing every year?

“Are you treating us like a kindergarten?” Yang Sen gritted his teeth and asked.

“Hahaha, I don’t want to cause problems for you!” Ren Baqian laughed.

“If you don’t want to cause us trouble, then don’t let those people run all over the place!” At the other end, Yang Sen angrily drank his tea to quench his anger.

After making the call, Ren Baqian was speechless.

The previous time, two of the winged cavalry warriors ran over to North Korea.

This time, he didn’t know whether they had planned their route in advance. They followed the previously taken route and ran all the way south, causing great havoc along the way.

At that time, they destroyed some drug dens and bathhouses, causing the police to clear out all the ruffians in the city.

Those who previously escaped by chance didn’t escape this time.

After being torn apart by the duo and subsequently raided by the police, the route along the three cities became literally clean.

At the time Ren Baqian made the call, Yang Sen was having a headache because the pair were on the police wanted list in the south and were on the run.

Even if Ren Baqian didn’t make the call, Yang Sen still needed to find ways to get them back. The nation had to make sure that the duo didn’t fall into the hands of foreign countries since the consequences would be too great.

Even some information leaking would be devastating.

However, these two guys weren’t puppets and wouldn’t be easily fooled by others. Some outsiders had tried to get close to them, but couldn’t even touch their shadows.

With the power of a winged cavalry warrior, plus their one year experience on Earth, they were like fish entering the ocean when they ventured into a city, and it was very difficult to catch them by their tails.

As a last resort, Ren Baqian sent two people to help Yang Sen in the search for the two of them.

Ren Baqian personally sent two winged cavalry warriors to the Messier 87 department and then replaced the two. This way, he gave them the opportunity to go out and gain insight. He was trying his best to ensure that they got to know Earth better.

If they were regarded as beginners previously, then they should start working outside to get beyond that stage now.

“Officer Yang, I will have to trouble you this time. With these two following you, you will most likely find those other two guys,” said Ren Baqian when referring to the two men who went to the Messier 87 department with him.

He was very confident that these winged cavalry warriors knew each other’s ways and habits very well after staying together for a long time.

Furthermore, these two were good at tracking in the mountains.

Although the side of a mountain was different from the inside of a city, there were certain similarities.

“Xiong Zhan! Xiong Ying!” Ren Baqian said.

“Lady boss, please give your orders.” The two were 1.8 meters tall, weighed over 150 kilograms, and looked scarily alike.

The next moment, Ren Baqian kicked their legs.

“It’s lady boss! During this period, do what you are told, don’t get into trouble, and get those two rascals back!” Although Ren Baqian knew these two to be dishonest, he still had to put on an appearance.

“We understand, lady boss!” They patted their chests in confirmation. Their fists hit their chests like they were hitting drums, and it made people wonder whether their internal organs would pop out.
