"Is the burial done?" Ren Baqian raised his head, looked at the Great Xia barracks not far away, and asked softly.
"My lord, it's done."
"Let's go." Ren Baqian led everyone away with a wave of his hand, leaving behind only a landmine.
Ren Baqian buried another mortar in the distance. Then, he set up the mortar in another location and fired at the eastern and northern barracks of the enemy. After that, he packed up and returned to the city to sleep.
Ren Baqian and the rest went back to sleep, but Great Xia was almost tormented to death. In the middle of the night, there was a sudden explosion in the barracks. Furthermore, it landed in between a few tents. Not to mention the number of casualties, Great Xia thought that Dayao had come to raid their barracks again. One after another, the soldiers of Great Xia grabbed their weapons and rushed out.
After receiving it, he waited for a long time before realizing that the other party had only fired one shell.
After waiting for an hour, everyone in the camp believed that the other party wouldn't come again, so they went back to sleep.
Early the next morning, Great Xia stepped on a landmine the moment they got into formation. Everyone immediately put their eyes on the ground and carefully moved forward. They only heaved a sigh of relief when they realized that there was nothing wrong after walking for a hundred meters. Before they could even exhale, they were suppressed by another explosion.
The third day.
There was a river north of the Great Xia barracks. The river was 100 meters wide, and the current was rather rapid. Usually, the Great Xia soldiers would collect water from this river for daily use.
This place wasn't far from the barracks. In the past, this place was considered safe as the aboriginals were all holed up in Liao City. Thus, everyone could come here to collect water without worry.
One morning, there were two explosions by the river. Then, a group of servants shouted loudly and carried a dozen or so people back. A few of them could not be saved, and the rest were all covered in blood.
On the fourth day, when the people of Great Xia left the camp, they felt that there was something under their feet. They wanted to stop for half a day after every step they took.
At this moment, they finally understood what "watch your step" meant.
Although most of the soldiers were illiterate, there were always some who could read. That day, the words on the white cloth hanging on the city wall attracted a lot of people's attention. After the soldiers returned to camp that night, the news spread throughout the camp.
In addition, there would be explosions in a certain place every day. After a few days, the soldiers of Great Xia began to walk with caution.
However, there were no explosions that day, and the soldiers heaved a sigh of relief when they attacked the city.
It didn't matter if it was a real fight, but not knowing when something would suddenly jump up and explode under their feet would always make them a little nervous.
"They are at their wit's end," Wu Shenghou said in the Great Xia barracks with a relaxed look on his face.
"How does the Great General know?" The scholar put on a studious pose.
"Apart from that night's attack, they only engaged in small skirmishes after that. They used less and less of those powerful weapons. Although there was something that would explode when buried in the ground, there weren't many of them. A few days ago, they encountered ten of them in each direction, but in the last two days, there were fewer and fewer. Today, there wasn't even one.
Moreover, no matter where they got this thing from, with the power and precision of this weapon, it would definitely require a skilled craftsman to make it, and there wouldn't be too many of them. It can be used to harass or attack a small number of troops, but when the two armies are facing each other, it can only hurt a few more people and delay the attack. "
Wu Shenghou stated his judgment, and the scholar immediately flattered him, "Great General is brilliant."
Wu Shenghou waved his hand. "You and I have known each other for many years, so you don't have to do this. Whatever I can think of, you can too. If they used more weapons at the beginning, I would have a headache. But now, it seems that there aren't many of them, so I don't have to worry too much. "
"Great General, don't forget that the other party has a weapon that can spit out countless small iron balls. That weapon is slightly more powerful than the others, and even a high-level Earth Wheel expert would find it difficult to escape."
"The more powerful the weapon, the greater the restrictions," Wu Shenghou said resolutely.
"The iron balls that the other party spit out are specially manufactured and of excellent quality. Even the skilled craftsmen of Great Xia would need a lot of time to make them.
The speed of this weapon is also very fast, and a few can be shot out in an instant. Using this kind of weapon consumes a lot of specially made iron balls. From what I can see, the other party took a long time to accumulate so many. After using it a few times, even if there are more, there won't be many left. "
"What the Great General said is right."
…
At this moment, Ren Baqian was looking at a house in Shanghai.
He was accompanied by a lady in her thirties. She wore glasses and looked very professional. She spoke very professionally, but Ren Baqian felt that she was sizing him up.
This house was found by Ren Baqian's assistant, Shen Feng. It was two and a half stories, about 600 square meters, four bedrooms, two living rooms, and two bathrooms. The second floor had a large balcony and a garden of more than 1,000 square meters. There were two swimming pools in the garden and indoors, and a semi-subterranean garage.
Upon seeing this house, Ren Baqian's first thought was to bring the empress here to swim. The empress definitely wouldn't go to crowded places by the sea, but there was still a possibility of swimming here.
In addition, there were many rooms, and the garage was also big. In the future, weapons and ammunition could be directly stored in this house, which was very convenient.
Furthermore, this house was exquisitely renovated. Even though the style wasn't to his liking, it wasn't to his dislike either. The best thing was that he could move in just by carrying his luggage.
The only thing that Ren Baqian didn't like was that it was too deserted. The palace was deserted enough, and there were more houses than people.
Most of the time, he was alone in such a big house. It was so boring.
"Is it possible to connect all the rooms? I live alone, and I always feel that there are people in the other rooms. I lack a sense of security. If you can connect all the rooms and have a panoramic view, this house won't have any shortcomings, "Ren Baqian said sincerely.
After hearing Ren Baqian's words, the real estate agent's expression immediately froze.
Why do I feel that there are people in the other rooms? Are there people or ghosts?
Lack a sense of security?
Are you here to cause trouble?
"Sir, the feng shui here is excellent, and there is absolutely no problem. Furthermore, I can introduce you to a master who is very famous in Shanghai. You don't have to worry about these things. "
"I didn't mean it that way." Ren Baqian waved his hand lightly.
"It's a psychological effect, do you understand? I lack a sense of security, and I like to stay in a place with a panoramic view. There are so many rooms here, and I feel uncomfortable! "
"If you want to hire a psychiatrist, it might be better for me to hire a psychiatrist."
If not for the fact that he didn't look like an ordinary person, that woman would have thrown the book in her hand on his face.
If you don't like big houses, why are you looking at villas?
Ren Baqian had been in Dayao's court for a long time and had dealings with the higher-ups in the country. He naturally had an imposing manner that this woman didn't dare to offend.
"Sir, perhaps you can look at other houses? Our company has many houses that are suitable for someone of your status, "the woman changed the topic.
"Status?" Ren Baqian smiled kindly at her, like a big bad wolf seeing Little Red Riding Hood.
"What do you think of my status?"
"Not an ordinary person!" The woman made a turn and smiled respectfully. Would an ordinary person come to look at a villa worth more than 30 million yuan? However, she didn't dare to guess his identity. Although she felt that he was a rich man, she might offend him if she guessed wrongly. If he was narrow-minded, she would be in big trouble.
Most importantly, Ren Baqian had an imposing manner that made her feel pressured. She also felt that this person beside her was somewhat dangerous.
"Good taste!" Ren Baqian gave a thumbs up and laughed heartily.
"This one," Ren Baqian said as he clapped his hands.
The woman's heart trembled when she heard this. A house worth more than 30 million yuan was bought just like that?
She quickly calculated how much commission she could get this time.
"Wait a minute!" Ren Baqian gestured to her again. Then, he called Yang Sen, "Director Yang!"
"Mr. Ren, what's the matter?" Yang Sen trembled a little when he heard Ren Baqian's call. Recently, he had been dealing with Ren Baqian every three to five days. After hearing Ren Baqian talk about nuclear bombs, white phosphorus bombs, and napalm bombs from time to time, he didn't want to answer Ren Baqian's call anymore.
"My house has been flooded and I am homeless now. I happened to look at a house. It's not expensive and only costs about 40 million yuan. However, I don't have enough money in my pocket. I would like to ask you for a loan of 50 million yuan? Together with the renovation fee. "
Yang Sen was speechless.
"Director Yang can't handle such a small matter, can you? This time, I have brought something good for you. "Ren Baqian laughed.
"Wait a minute, let me ask for instructions." Yang Sen hung up the phone after he finished speaking.
Ren Baqian hummed a tune. Actually, he hadn't spent much money recently. He still had about 100 million yuan left with the loan from the nation and his original 20 million yuan. However, if someone else could foot the bill, why should he fork out his own money?
