The Empress’s Gigolo

“Don’t come over!” Ren Baqian’s expression changed. He shouted and pointed toward another direction when saw Shi Hu running toward his location.

He had already had a very memorable experience with the adherence of this stench. Shi Hu had just gotten himself covered in it, so if he were to come closer to Ren Baqian, the stench would adhere to his body as well.

The previous experience had already been eternally unforgettable. As a result, he immediately shouted when he saw Shi Hu running toward him.

However, it was already too late when his voice sounded.

He didn’t have the ability to match up to an Earth Wheel expert’s speed even if he had a 100 meter head start.

Shi Hu flitted past Ren Baqian’s body like a gust of wind. When he waved his sleeves, it didn’t take the clouds away from the sky, but left behind a stench that would make people faint…

Ren Baqian’s face immediately turned green.The stench was deadly, and it stuck to Ren Baqian’s entire body.

Retch! Retch! Ren Baqian immediately ran to the side and began vomiting. Seeing that things weren’t looking good, Lin Qiaole had long since ran far away. It was as if she had seen a ghost.

All of a sudden, Su Qing unknowingly smelled a stench that was similar to feces that had been stored for 100 years and were mixed with something else. His chest felt stuffy, his vision went black, and his legs immediately stumbled. He almost fell to the ground.

Retch!

Retch!

Ren Baqian and Su Qing were both retching in their own corners.

“You want me to bring this thing to the palace? Puke!”

“This is just the secondary effect, which isn’t even ten percent of its real strength. Go and smell it from the source. Retch!”

“You are crazy! You just want to make Xia Bailong disgusted! Do you have to do this? Retch!”

“I’ve prepared exactly 1,000 pieces for Xia Baichong. As long as you place them all in the palace, I guarantee that he will immediately move the capital! Retch!”

After retching for quite some time, Ren Baqian and Su Qing managed to recover a little and collectively had a conversation.

In the end, just as the both of them stood together, a look of disgust could be seen on their faces.

When the two of them stood together, the stench amplified.

“Your request is impossible. If this thing were to be brought into the palace, even if only one was used, it would immediately be discovered.” Su Qing pinched his nose and looked at Ren Baqian with an ashen gaze as if Ren Baqian was Ultraman.

Previously, in the war against Great Xia, those explosive things came from Ren Baqian, not to mention the poison gas as well. This time around, he brought out this thing too. This guy sure was out of the ordinary!

Thanks to Ren Baqian, Su Qing suddenly realized that smell was more deadly that poison at times.

“I have an idea about how to let this thing self-detonate at a prearranged time.” Ren Baqian’s face turned green as he stood there and pinched his nose… He constantly used his hand to fan the air, even though it was completely useless.

“Is it trustworthy?” Su Qing knitted his brows and asked after hearing that. If that was the case, the plan would be quite feasible.

“At most, we can extend the detonation to 24 hours later. However, it might be too difficult. Two hours would be the most apt duration.”

“What’s your purpose for doing this?”

“With 1,000 of these things releasing their foul stench at once, don’t you think Xia Baichong will look pretty awesome at that time? He has given me so many problems that this little revenge can be considered reciprocity.

Plus, after this happens, I’ll tell him that it was my doing.

He definitely won’t take this lying down and will deploy his soldiers. That’s when your opportunity will come,” Ren Baqian explained. Even though Dayao was currently at war on two fronts, he wasn’t worried at all.

Those in Great Xia who could fight were already dead. At the moment, there were merely a small number of defenders garrisoned in the city as well as those at the border with the Yun Nation.

This situation didn’t give Hong Wu too much pressure.

If one were to wait for Great Xia to recruit and train new soldiers, the Yun Nation would have probably become Dayao’s Protectorate of the Yun.

As for the aboriginals’ brains and brawn, Ren Baqian was pretty confident.

Both sides were complete opposites.

The only thing he had to worry about was rations.

Su Qing pondered for a moment before nodding and saying, “Give then to me. I can’t promise that all of them will be put to use since 1,000 is too great a number. It will be difficult to bring all of them into Great Xia’s palace, but I should be able to sneak in a portion of them.”

“Come and retrieve them in three days’ time. These things only have a shelf life of six months and will start to leak after that period. I hope that you can use them as soon as possible,” Ren Baqian said.

He reached a consensus with Su Qing after just a short time.

Ren Baqian could seek revenge, while Su Qing could get the opportunity he wanted. There was no reason for him to refuse.

“Oh right. Just now, you said that the forces in Great Xia’s palace were strong. As far as I know, there are only a few Spirit Wheel experts in the palace, right?”

“It isn’t as simple as it seems. One Spirit Wheel expert can live up to 200 years. The imperial family of Great Xia has always been on the lookout for the most gifted youths, and over the last few centuries, they have accumulated a lot of strength. To the best of my knowledge, there are at least eight Spirit Wheel experts in the palace. Among them, at least three have formed Heaven-grade weapons.”

Ren Baqian nodded while looking pensive. Eight Spirit Wheel experts didn’t sound impressive when compared to the situation at Tianjing Basin. However, this was only the number of Spirit Wheel experts in the palace. If all of Great Xia was included, there would be many more Spirit Wheel experts, at least hundreds of them.

With more people, there would naturally be more experts.

Luckily, most of the Spirit Wheel experts ruled their own territories and paid no attention to Xia Baichong.

“Come and find me three days later.” Ren Baqian nodded at Su Qing, turned around, and walked toward Jiangbei City.

“Stay further away from me! Go take two weeks off, and don’t let me see you during these two weeks.” Ren Baqian’s face turned green when he saw Shi Hu approaching him.

Shi Hu felt wronged.

I’m the victim okay?

Why didn’t you explain clearly?

I still thought that it was the same stuff that was used back in Liao City.

On the journey back to the residence, all the animals and people dispersed whenever he walked past, including the chickens and dogs…

Zuo Leng and a few others gathered to greet Ren Baqian when they saw him coming back, but their faces immediately turned pale, and they took a few steps back.

They were very familiar with this smell. They simply wished they were dead back in those days.

“Greetings, Sir Ren!” As all six of them were reminded of the tragic memories from those days, their expressions became extremely odd.

“It’s fine. Take your leave.” Ren Baqian waved them off and walked through the courtyard toward the empress’s room, only to see that she was still watching a television series…

“Your Majesty, I just met Su Qing, and he has already agreed. Xia Baichong has given us so many problems, but we can finally reciprocate now.” Standing at the empress’s door, Ren Baqian laughed.

The empress turned her head, looked at him, and rolled her eyes. Her gaze was so charming and moving that Ren Baqian felt an endless disturbance in his mind.

“Why are you standing so far away?”

“I’m afraid that Your Majesty will despise me!”

“Why are you acting so weird today? Come over here.” The empress was unconcerned.

“I’ll come over then!” Nasty, but appearing genuine, Ren Baqian strode into the room.

However, after taking just two steps in, the empress knitted her brow as she went pale. She swatted her palm, immediately sending Ren Baqian flying outward uncontrollably.

“Your Majesty, you said you wouldn’t despise me…”

“You didn’t mention the stench on your body!” the empress replied with a icy stare. “How did you get into this mess again?”

Ren Baqian also felt that he was pretty unlucky and started explaining what had happened from outside the door.

“Oh, seeing that you have been excessively hard working these days, I shall grant you a few days off. Go back to Earth and rest for a few days,” the empress said.

Ren Baqian was speechless.

Karma struck pretty quickly indeed!

He had just granted Shi Hu time off and was immediately granted his own time off by the empress.

“Have a good rest, Your Majesty.” Ren Baqian looked at the empress plaintively before stepping out and summoning three winged cavalry warriors. He ordered them not to move and took all three of them back to Earth with their noses pinched.

“I’m a little bee, flying among the flowers.”

Bang! Boom!

Just when Ren Baqian arrived back on Earth, he heard noises coming from somewhere not too far away.

He turned his head and saw the three winged cavalry warriors playing the finger-guessing game while hugging sorghum liquor. When one of them swat his palm over, another guy was quickly stuck to the wall.

“What are you guys doing?” Ren Baqian didn’t look very happy.

The three of them suddenly stood up and greeted, “Hi, lady boss!”

Ren Baqian’s face immediately turned black. Which bastard taught them this? Also, who taught them how to play the finger-guessing game?
