After that, Ren Baqian focused half of his attention on listening to Qingyun Sword's arrangements and the other half on thinking.
He occasionally turned his head to look at Lin Qiaole, who was sleeping soundly with her head propped on the table. Her saliva was dripping from her mouth and forming a large pool on the ground.
Ren Baqian felt that she might need to sew her mouth shut.
She looked like a pretty girl, but why was she drooling every day?
Qingyun Sword was still making arrangements at the front.
After all, they weren't going to surround and kill the empress. That wouldn't be very effective.
Qingyun Sword divided the Earth Wheel experts into 11 groups and divided them into inner and outer formations. This way, they could maximize everyone's strength and reduce casualties.
However, they only had three days to practice these formations. By then, everyone's level of cooperation would determine the power of these two formations.
Fortunately, everyone was an Earth Wheel expert, and their reactions were much stronger than ordinary people and Man Wheel experts. Even if time was tight, they should be able to practice the formations to a certain standard.
Everyone discussed until it was very late before they left.
Ren Baqian returned to his residence, wrote a letter, and then looked for Su Qing.
He finally realized that the mutual flattery in front of the warlord's residence was very useful. At least it gave the two of them a reasonable excuse to meet so late at night.
"My men have already left Gu City. After all, their identities have been exposed, and there is no value in staying there." Su Qing wasn't surprised by Ren Baqian's arrival, but he was surprised by his request. After all, Ren Baqian had already sent a letter back, and he didn't expect him to send a second one.
In his opinion, since he had already set up a trap, he just had to wait for these people to step into it. He didn't understand why Ren Baqian was so anxious to send a second letter.
Unless … they didn't make any arrangements?
As soon as this idea popped up in his mind, he dispelled it. Qi Zixiao's appearance here had attracted everyone's attention, and Ren Baqian's appearance among these people was already a very obvious trap. It was impossible for there to be any mistakes in the arrangements.
In fact, even if there were mistakes, it didn't matter. With Qi Zixiao's strength and the Protectorate of the North led by Xi Wanya, as long as these people gathered together and attacked, they would be able to eliminate more than half of them. The remaining people wouldn't be able to cause much trouble.
"The second condition." Ren Baqian stretched out two fingers while Su Qing was thinking.
Su Qing looked at him and laughed. He stretched out two slender fingers and took the letter from Ren Baqian's hand.
"Do you want to stay and chat about the affairs of a brothel?"
He waved his hand and left.
What was the point of listening to others talk about brothels?
I'll go there myself when I get back, but I'll have to find Tong Zhenye to take the blame.
For the next few days, everyone was pulled out of the city to practice the array formation. At the same time, they were waiting for the few people who hadn't arrived yet. Most importantly, there were two Spirit Wheel experts among them.
Ren Baqian hoped that these days would continue.
According to the time, Xi Wanya should have already set off with his men. Ren Baqian didn't know if the second letter had reached him. The second letter contained the empress's location.
If the empress was really waiting, the siege should be taking place in the vicinity of that city.
However, things didn't go as Ren Baqian wished. Three days later in the evening, Ren Baqian received a notice to set off the next morning.
Ren Baqian calculated the time and realized that it should be five to six days before Xi Wanya received the letter.
Even if he left immediately, it would only be five days.
Ren Baqian had walked for about 20 days from Gu City to this place. However, he traveled in an ox cart and took a long detour.
If he rode at full speed and took into account that the mounts needed to rest, it would take at least 10 days to reach the empress's location from Gu City.
This meant that Xi Wanya wouldn't be able to catch up no matter what.
If everything went well, he should be able to see Xi Wanya when he brought the empress back to Earth.
Another thing that Ren Baqian wasn't sure about was how many Spirit Wheel experts would survive the fight with the empress and face Xi Wanya. If there were too many, he was afraid that Xi Wanya would be sending himself to die.
Ren Baqian calculated in his heart. There were too many variables, and he couldn't calculate them clearly. He could only take it one step at a time.
That night, Ming City was much quieter.
They would set off the next day and would arrive in two days at most.
Everyone took this time to adjust their state of mind or check their weapons.
Even Ren Baqian had checked the fortified smoke grenades to see if they would be able to contribute to the war.
At least, according to Ren Baqian's estimation, these people's formations wouldn't work.
The important thing in this batch of fortified smoke bombs wasn't the smoke itself, but the substance added to the smoke bombs. The smoke was a complimentary product.
What was added to the smoke bombs was concentrated skunk musk.
This was the secretion of skunk.
It was said that the moment one was sprayed with the skunk liquid, it felt as if someone had smashed the back of their head with a baseball bat. Then, a pair of big hands twisted their lungs into a ball, and they couldn't breathe at all. Needless to say, it was painful to the eyes. She immediately burst into tears and could even make people faint.
This wasn't just an attack on the sense of smell, but also touch, sight, taste, sixth sense, and seventh sense.
Furthermore, this smell would linger on the body for about a week, even if it was carefully cleaned.
This smell was indescribable. The difference between stinky tofu and this thing was probably the difference between Lei Feng and Leifeng Pagoda.
The substance added to Ren Baqian's smoke bombs was said to be two to three times stronger than skunk musk. It was enough to make people doubt their lives and doubt that being alive was a mistake.
Under the circumstances where weapons of mass destruction couldn't be used, Ren Baqian felt that this thing might be the most effective.
Of course, in a certain aspect, this thing could also be said to be a type of biological weapon of mass destruction.
However, this thing also had a lot of shortcomings.
The biggest one was probably that using this thing was equivalent to perishing together!
After all, if this thing was thrown out, even if it was thrown in the surroundings, he and the empress would probably be enveloped by that terrifying smell.
Ren Baqian didn't dare to imagine the empress's expression at that time. It would definitely be very interesting.
After thinking about it, Ren Baqian shivered and immediately encouraged himself. If possible, he didn't want to use this type of biological weapon of mass destruction. However, in order to save people, he had no other choice.
"Sigh, this is life!" Ren Baqian sighed, turned his head, and glanced at Lin Qiaole, who was leaning against the headboard. If he remembered correctly, this girl's sense of smell seemed to be much better than his.
Lin Qiaole suddenly quivered in her sleep, looked at Ren Baqian with sleepy eyes, and asked, "What happened?"
"Nothing, continue to sleep." Ren Baqian waved his hand.
The night passed.
The next day, everyone set off.
