The next day, after class, Ren Baqian put two skunk bombs in his bag and rushed out of the city with his guards.
When he arrived outside the city, he saw that there were quite a lot of people.
Dozens of burly men with bald or braided hair and arms big enough to race horses stood there. Dayao's officials were really idle …
Tong Zhengye and Qin Chuan were staring at each other. They were surrounded by officials from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of War, as well as two assistant ministers. They were all laughing and joking around.
Not far away stood Minister Xuan Hua of the Ministry of Rites, Minister Zhuo Yan of the Ministry of Justice, Minister Xiong Yaohe of the Ministry of Personnel, as well as officials from the Taichang Bureau, the Honglu Bureau, the Public Order Bureau, the Inspection Bureau, the Imperial Court, the Seal Bureau, the Meritorious Department, and the Examination Bureau.
Other than the Great Elder, the Junior Elder, and the people from the Ministry of Revenue, almost everyone was present.
Ren Baqian reckoned that if this skunk bomb was thrown, all the higher-ups of Dayao would be wiped out.
He originally thought that Tong Zhengye brought a few small fries with him, but he didn't expect so many people to come.
It would be easier to understand if Qin Chuan was here.
However, weren't the curiosity of the others a little too exuberant?
It could only be said that the aboriginals didn't have a lot of people!
"Sir Ren is here!" Feng Hou laughed when he saw Ren Baqian coming from afar and appeared in front of him in a few flashes.
"Why are there so many people?" Ren Baqian felt a little dizzy. Think about it. If a skunk bomb wiped out all the higher-ups of Dayao, how would they look at him in the future?
"Sir Tong and Sir Qin are making a bet on who can withstand Sir Ren's stench. After the news spread, the other officials were also curious about how Sir Ren managed to stink Xia Baichong to death!" Feng Hou grinned with a ferocious face.
Ren Baqian pondered for a while and felt that there was something wrong with these words. What did he mean by my stench? He made it sound as if he smelled bad.
He glanced at Feng Hou, then at the crowd, and asked, "How did Minister Tong and Minister Qin make the bet?"
"Whoever can't stand it has to stay away from the other party for a month!" Feng Hou said.
Ren Baqian's face was full of vigor. These two were really brave warriors!
If a person smelled this odor, they would definitely run away.
But if the two of them were to make a bet, whoever ran away first would be the loser … The consequences would be too horrible to look at!
"Sir Ren, we have been waiting for a long time. Let me experience your stench!" Tong Zhengye turned his head and laughed at Ren Baqian.
"Principal Ren, we have been waiting for a long time." Everyone cupped their hands.
"I've finally grasped this opportunity today. In the future, old man, when you see me, you'll have to stay far away from me!" Qin Chuan sneered.
"Who are you calling, old man?" Tong Zhenye turned his head and asked Qin Chuan in disdain.
"The old man is calling you!" Qin Chuan was the kind of person who had fallen into the same pit countless times.
Ren Baqian smiled and returned the salute as he walked into the crowd. He took out two skunk bombs from the back of his waist and gestured, "Pull these open and throw them at your feet."
"It won't explode, right?" Tong Zhenye asked suspiciously. Whenever he saw this thing, he felt like it was going to explode!
"This is not a bomb, how is that possible? Besides, even if it explodes, it won't be a big deal to all of you. "
As he spoke, he handed the things to the two of them, one in each hand. He cupped his hands and said, "Everyone, please carry on with your work. I still have to go back and see Her Majesty!"
After he finished speaking, he turned and ran away as if he was being chased by a dog.
He was afraid that someone might throw him at the spot where the skunk bomb was to get back at him. He didn't want to experience the smell a second time after smelling it once.
"So, it's like this. Pull this away, right?" Tong Zhenye fiddled with the skunk bomb, pulled the ring off, and threw it at his feet.
Qin Chuan did the same, and the two of them stared at each other.
In less than five seconds, an extremely strong and suffocating smell pervaded the air.
The surrounding people immediately burst into an uproar and ran away.
It was as if a bomb had exploded, and dozens of people immediately ran in all directions.
They vomited as they ran, and their faces looked as if they had eaten feces. Sure enough, a stench that could kill Xia Baichong wasn't easy to deal with.
Only Qin Chuan and Tong Zhenye were left standing there with their faces turning green. They stared at each other, smelled the suffocating stench, and felt as if countless sledgehammers were hitting their heads. They were seeing stars, and they couldn't help but feel snot and tears flowing down their cheeks.
"Sure enough, it's a stench that could kill Xia Baichong … Ugh …" Tong Zhenye's face looked as if his crotch had been kicked dozens of times. His face turned green for a while, but he had to hold on and not run.
Just now, he almost ran away, but when he subconsciously took a step, he remembered the bet and froze in place.
Losing wasn't scary, but losing to an old enemy in front of him was unacceptable.
"Hmph, you can't hold on anymore, right? If you can't hold on, get lost. Ugh … Just stay away from me in the future! "Qin Chuan's face was similar to Tong Zhenye's as he gritted his teeth and held on.
"I'm fine, but you are an old bag of bones. If you can't hold on, don't force yourself and end up like Xia Baichong!" Tong Zhenye's eyes were wide open as he squeezed his words out from the gaps between his teeth.
"Sir Ren's stench is extraordinary. If you can't hold on, just ask for mercy. I don't need you to stay away from me!" Qin Chuan stared at Tong Zhenye with his eyes wide open.
"Haha, old man, how can I, Tong Zhenye, stand this little stench? If you can't hold on, just leave and I'll let you go. I don't need you to stay away from me!" Tong Zhenye wanted to let out a heroic laugh, but he almost vomited the moment he opened his mouth. In the end, he could only force out a dry smile.
Seeing that they couldn't convince each other, the two of them stared at each other while enduring the stench that was beyond their limits.
"Old bastard, you actually want to drag me with you even if you die. I definitely won't let you off," Tong Zhenye cursed in his heart. He felt that his tears were about to flow out.
"Old man, you are actually still holding on. I don't believe that you can hold on!" Qin Chuan thought to himself.
The two of them stared at each other with their eyes wide open. The two iron cylinders under their feet were still emitting that stench, making the surrounding stench even more intense.
"Hahaha, do you dare to take a deep breath?" Tong Zhenye suddenly realized that Qin Chuan's chest wasn't moving at all and immediately laughed out loud.
"Why wouldn't I dare?" Qin Chuan said as he took a deep breath. His stomach churned, and he almost vomited his breakfast … However, he forcefully swallowed it back down! The taste of stomach acid was still coming out from the gaps between his teeth. He said in a sinister tone, "Old man, do you dare to take a deep breath?"
…
The others had already escaped far away. However, even though they were far away, they could still smell the stench on their bodies. It was as if the stench was like maggots in one's bones.
They turned their heads to look at Qin Chuan and Tong Zhenye, who were still standing in their original spots. They couldn't help but admire them. "These two sirs are extraordinary!"
After saying this, they ran back home to take a shower.
Ren Baqian ran all the way back to the top of the city wall and looked into the distance. He saw that the two figures were still standing there motionlessly.
Ren Baqian admired them and said, "These two are really brave warriors!"
Bathing in the so-called hot feces pit wasn't necessarily comparable to the courage of these two people outside the city. At least, he couldn't do it.
However, he didn't know how long it would take for the stench to wash off their bodies if they just stood there like that. It was better to quickly inform the empress and give them a day off!
