"Sister, sister, the emperor is dead …" In a Taoist temple, a 16 or 17-year-old Taoist nun jumped into the room and shouted.
In the room, there was a woman dressed in Taoist robes. She looked like a fairy who had descended to the mortal world and was practicing calligraphy. Her gaze froze when she heard the shout.
"Such a big thing actually happened …" The woman in the room muttered to herself and gently put the brush aside.
"Guess how he died?" the young girl asked with a wink.
"Since you are asking this, something must have happened. I can't guess. Tell me. "The woman smiled, and the room suddenly became much warmer.
"You are so boring!" The young girl pouted and then exclaimed in disbelief, "He died from the stench!"
"Stench …" The woman in the room was shocked to hear this answer. Such a way of dying could be considered as shocking.
"Guess who did it?" the young girl asked mischievously.
"I can't." The woman still smiled and shook her head.
"You have seen it before!"
"…" The woman looked at her gently and didn't say a word. After a minute or two, the young girl couldn't hold on anymore and said dejectedly, "Forget it, I will tell you. It was Qi Zixiao's gigolo!"
"Ah!" The woman opened her mouth slightly and revealed a surprised expression. Her thoughts immediately drifted to the man and woman she had met in the mountains last year, a little later than today.
This woman was naturally Li Yuanzhu, and the young girl was Ning Qing.
Ning Qing had grown taller over the past year, and the baby fat on her face had lessened. She looked much more mature than she was a year ago.
"I knew that guy wasn't a good person when I saw him last year, but I didn't expect him to do such an evil thing! I will teach him a lesson when I see him again. " Ning Qing was furious at the thought of Ren Baqian. She looked down and realized that her breasts had grown a lot over the past year.
Li Yuanzhu couldn't help but laugh at her reaction. However, that man was really hard to evaluate. No one had ever spoken to her like that in her entire life …
Ren Baqian's words, "Her breasts are bigger than yours," left a deep impression on both of them.
"What exactly happened?" Li Yuanzhu asked after some thought.
"I heard that the palace was suddenly covered with a stench, and the old emperor died from it. I wonder what kind of stench could kill the old emperor … "Ning Qing asked curiously.
Just as the empress had said, Ren Baqian had indeed become famous.
Moreover, it was a very famous one.
That day, hundreds of stink bombs exploded within the imperial palace, virtually covering the entire imperial palace. The Xia Emperor immediately passed out from suffocation.
No one could live in the palace anymore. Almost all the concubines had moved out as if they were fleeing for their lives.
Only a few eunuchs and guards were left in the palace. They felt like they were going to die at any moment. At the same time, they stuck to their posts — cleaning up the palace.
It wasn't until seven days later that the smell of the palace began to lessen.
As for the Xia Emperor, he had been in poor health for the past half year, and now that he had been tortured like this, he died within two days.
Naturally, the mourning letter that was sent out to the public could not say that Emperor Xia had died from the stench. If that was the case, everyone in the world would laugh their heads off. It could also not say that he had died from a serious illness, as such a major event in the royal palace could not be kept a secret.
In the end, all the civil and military officials of the court came together and announced that Emperor Xia had been secretly poisoned to death.
At the same time, Great Xia was also preparing to use this opportunity to divert the conflict within the country and divert the attention of the people to the murderer who poisoned Emperor Xia. They wanted to use this opportunity to win a breather.
However, early the next morning, countless flyers were pasted all over the imperial capital.
"Ren Baqian, the murderer!" These words were naturally written by Su Qing. He pondered for a long time. "Ren Baqian, the one who released the poisonous gas bomb," "Ren Baqian, the one who killed Emperor Xia with the stench." No matter which one sounded awkward, and he was afraid that Ren Baqian would find trouble with him.
After experiencing this incident, he was afraid that Ren Baqian would find an opportunity to take revenge on him.
In the end, he simply used the words "Ren Baqian, the murderer."
At first, the people of Great Xia were puzzled as to who Ren Baqian was. Then, they remembered that gigolo Qi Zixiao, who had poisoned tens of thousands of people to death. Coupled with the fact that the aboriginals had flaunted their prowess in Great Xia, the people were immediately agitated.
In particular, with the secret efforts of some people, almost all of the people's spearheads were pointed at Dayao.
One had to know that the emperor of Great Xia had actually been poisoned to death. How humiliating was this? If they didn't take revenge, what face would the imperial court have?
This time, it was the imperial court's turn to feel numb.
This was because they knew that this was really done by Ren Baqian.
Even if Ren Baqian was in Dayao, and even if the aboriginals didn't have the strength to send so many things into the palace of Great Xia.
However, the cylinders that remained in the palace indicated the identity of the owner of this object. It had to be Ren Baqian.
Although this exquisite object was different from the small melons that could explode on the battlefield, it had the same style.
However, what the imperial court of Great Xia wanted to do now was to recuperate and not roll up their sleeves and start a life-and-death battle with the aboriginals.
However, the current attitude of the people was also a form of pressure to them. At the same time, this incident had indeed enraged the imperial court. The attitude of the military generals was almost the same as that of the people.
In addition, there was the crown prince of Great Xia. He still had a bunch of brothers who were eyeing him covetously. If the first thing he did after ascending to the throne wasn't to avenge Emperor Xia, the reaction of all parties could be imagined.
Therefore, after a short period of chaos, for various reasons, Great Xia, whether they were willing or not, had a unified attitude — this revenge had to be taken.
At the same time, the entire Great Xia began to move. Orders to recruit soldiers, increase taxes, and collect food were quickly passed down.
At the same time, there were too many people who knew about this matter. After all, there were too many people in the palace and nearly a million people in the capital. The true cause of Emperor Xia's death was also spread in the ears of some people, especially those who were well-informed.
Ren Baqian also had a new nickname among some people — Stinky Emperor …
On one hand, it was because Ren Baqian had really killed an emperor with his stench … On the other hand, it was because of the power of the stench in the palace this time …
Su Qing happily sent Ren Baqian's new nickname to him in a secret letter.
When Ren Baqian received the letter, his face turned black. This wasn't even as good as the poison warrior from before.
On the other hand, the empress laughed heartily for a long time. This matter was really fun. In addition, the fact that Xia Baichong had died from the stench was also worthy of her happiness. She immediately sent an order to the court officials to hold a banquet in the palace that night to celebrate.
Subsequently, the news that Xia Baichong had died from the stench spread along with the empress's order. Many people laughed until their mouths twitched.
The fact that the emperor of Great Xia had died from the stench was simply the biggest joke in the world.
"Stinky Emperor, how exactly did you stink Xia Baichong to death?" During the banquet, Tong Zhengye came to Ren Baqian's side with a face full of gossip.
"You want to know?" Ren Baqian's face turned black as he looked at him maliciously.
"I really want to know …" Tong Zhengye touched his beard, unable to suppress his exuberant curiosity.
When Ren Baqian saw that the others were also looking at him with a face full of gossip, he really had the urge to throw a skunk bomb at the banquet.
However, after thinking about it, he would be beaten to death by the empress.
Then, he gloomily said, "Wait for me outside the city tomorrow. If anyone else wants to know, you can come along. I will show you!"
Tong Zhengye looked at Ren Baqian for a long time before saying, "You are trying to trick me!"
Ren Baqian cursed in his heart. This old fox wasn't like an aboriginal at all.
"However, I still can't suppress my curiosity. Tomorrow, I will wait for you outside the city, Stinky Emperor." Tong Zhengye hesitated for a while, but still said resolutely.
He really wanted to know what kind of stench could kill Emperor Xia. Wasn't it just a stench? Could it even kill a Cardinal Heaven expert like him?
