The First Self-propelled Machine

Back in Lan City, Ren Baqian wanted to deal with various matters, but was dragged into the hall by the empress and only got carried out seven days later…

After emergency treatment from the clinic, he rested for two days before shakily starting to deal with those matters.

Ren Baqian hadn't been away for very long this time. It was only slightly more than half a month. It had been nine days since he returned, and he had been away from his work for about a month. There were really quite a lot of things that he needed to deal with.

The laboratories, the Rearguard Commandery, the Department of Commerce, the new city, the school… All of these things kept him busy for a month.

During this period, the commander of the imperial bodyguards had changed to a woman named Jiang Ningyun.

Ren Baqian had seen this woman before.
