The Empress's Gigolo

Dayao couldn\'t afford to use iron arrows, but this type of bone arrow wasn\'t only very hard, it also had good stability. The arrows used for hunting in the mountains were also made from this kind of animal bone. When Ren Baqian returned to Earth, he brought along a few bone arrows with him so that he could hand it over to the laboratory.

In fact, he still had another idea. This idea popped up in his head after he returned to Earth.

The next time he returned to Earth, he would bring the corpse of an Earth Wheel expert back. He presumed that the researchers on Earth would be able to obtain important information from their bodies, including the direction of cultivation. This was something that he wanted to know as well.

After learning about the progress of the laboratory, there wasn\'t much research progress on the Elongation Saber. However, after hearing news about the cultivation progress of the selected soldiers, the person with the fastest progress had already attained the Man Wheel level. This cultivation speed made him rather surprised.

However, after thinking carefully, it wasn\'t incomprehensible. The so-called Man Wheel level converted one\'s essence blood into qi after reaching a certain extent. Furthermore, some of the elite soldiers on Earth were even martial artists, so this next step shouldn\'t be that far away.

Therefore, it wasn\'t unimaginable to attain the level of Earth Wheel in a short period of time if they had an adequate logistical supply.

Fortunately, he never felt that there were any threats on Earth, and as a result, he actually had a favorable attitude toward researching cultivation.

Two days later, that villa belonged to Ren Baqian.

The villa had four rooms, two halls, an indoor pool, and an outdoor pool. It also came with an enormous semi-underground garage.

Moreover, there was also a garden which made the air exceptionally fresh. In the future, when he returned, he no longer needed to smell the noxious, turbid air anymore. Recently, Ren Baqian\'s nose was always itchy, and he even suspected that he was going to get rhinitis soon.

At the thought of his nose dripping everyday, Ren Baqian couldn\'t help but tremble. That image was practically unbearable for him to even imagine.

The greatest significance of this villa was that there would be a place for Ren Baqian to store his weapons and ammunition. Secondly, it would be possible for him to entice the empress into swimming since there was no one else around.

Swimming pool, sunlight, bikini. At the thought of all of this, he got a little excited.

As for the 1,800 square meter garden, he didn\'t really care about it. The garden in the palace was so much bigger than that.

"It\'s too spacious and empty," Ren Baqian said as he walked with Shen Feng, who was dressed in gender-neutral clothes.

"Convert this spot into a supermarket!" Ren Baqian pushed open one of the bedroom doors and said to Shen Feng.

Even though Shen Feng was always expressionless, she was a little astonished upon hearing Ren Baqian\'s order.

You want to set up a supermarket in your villa? The circuitry in your brain is really weird!

"The shelves shall be positioned in a circle. Then, fill them with all kinds of snacks—sweets, chocolates, popcorn, potato chips, yam chips... Place two refrigerators in the middle and fill them with different flavors of ice cream..."

Shen Feng recorded what Ren Baqian said with a pen recorder, and her eyes grew bright and full of expression.

"Actually, my greatest wish since childhood was to open a supermarket at home." Eventually, Ren Baqian reminisced about a childhood that had elapsed.

"My second wish was to open a barbecue restaurant... Therefore, prepare tools for barbecuing as well."

"Boss, how should I deal with the things over here?" asked Shen Feng while pointing at the cabinet, bed, desk, and chair.

"Up to you. You can take them if you wish. Otherwise, you can deal with them in whatever way you want to."

"In addition, find me a housekeeper that will clean the house once a day, including the swimming pool. Without my permission, however, she cannot enter the garage or my bedroom."

"Lastly, when I\'m not around and this place is left empty, will anything happen?" Ren Baqian thought for a while before asking.

"The security here is very safe. Rest assured, boss," Shen Feng immediately responded. With Ren Baqian\'s status, even if a certain place was very chaotic, there would be someone to ensure that the security was still top-notch.

"That\'s great!" Ren Baqian nodded. He was well aware of Shen Feng\'s status and had already guessed it during the interview.

When he was recruiting a personal assistant, 11 of the 10 individuals had been sent by certain departments, and they didn\'t want to miss any opportunities to find out more things from him.

That night, a truck arrived at Ren Baqian\'s new villa, and the driver moved several boxes into the garage.

Ren Baqian opened a box and checked through the contents before closing it again. He then brought it back with him to Dayao.

...

The next morning, when the Great Xia army was attacking the city, they saw a banner hanging on the city wall that had words written on it.

The Great Xia soldiers ahead didn\'t really pay much attention to the banner. The number of casualties these days had showed that only a minority of people who went up the city wall came back alive. The majority of them were either killed or seriously injured. If it wasn\'t for the fact that these Great Xia soldiers were well trained and that there was a disciplinary team at the rear, many soldiers would have run away.

Even under these conditions, there were people who started trying to escape at night over the past two days. However, they ended up being hung on pillars and publicly exposed as a warning to the rest.

Under these circumstances, it was more important for them to seize the remaining time and to find a spot to bury the corpses instead of finding out what was written on the banner.

"Believe in the big lucky charm and I will survive. It must ensure that I will return alive from the top of the city wall," a soldier held an amulet in his hand tightly and mumbled to himself.

"What\'s the point of believing in it? I\'m afraid that we won\'t come back alive today." A soldier with a missing ear sighed. He was among the first batch of soldiers that were going to attack Liao City.

"If we attack another region, even if we are unsuccessful after getting to the top of the city wall, we can always find an opportunity to retreat or we can directly attack the city wall. There was always this glimpse of hope. It\'s precisely because of this bunch of barbarians that we can\'t come down alive after going up the city wall," another soldier said softly. Only two to three other soldiers that were nearby could heard him clearly.

His words also represented the rest of the soldiers. If it was said that there was still a glimmer of hope when attacking another region, then there wasn\'t any hope when attacking this Liao City.

Perhaps Liao City would be defeated some time later, but it wouldn\'t be defeated today.

At the very least, Liao City\'s defense hadn\'t decreased during yesterday\'s attack.

What they cared about was that they would soon be killed in this land. Some of the officers were rather curious about what exactly was written on the white cloth hanging on the city wall.

When the distance was close enough, a few of the literate people could finally see the words above.

"Watch your heads!"

Previously, they had to watch their step, but this time around, they had to watch their heads?

Everyone knew to be careful even without needing Ren Baqian\'s reminder. However, there was no point in being careful. Fortunately, that type of powerful weapon used by the other party had been used less and less frequently. It wasn\'t only Wu Shenghou who felt that there weren\'t many of these strange weapons left in Liao City that could still be used.

In less than 15 minutes, Wu Shenghou received the news. "Watch your heads?"

He then subconsciously thought of something that had fallen from the sky before.

"They are ready to utilize all of their remaining weapons." Wu Shenghou laughed. Since the other party didn\'t use any special weapons yesterday, he already knew that they didn\'t have many of them left.

As for today\'s banner on the city wall, its only purpose was merely to catch their attention.

"Continue to attack the city. Get the sharpshooters ready on standby," Wu Shenghou waved his hand and ordered.

Along with his instructions, the Great Xia soldiers shouted loudly and clearly.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The Great Xia soldiers in their battle formation shouted three times while holding spears in their hands. Next, they lifted the step ladders which they had just built and began climbing up the city wall.

"Look carefully at how you should use this small little thing!" Ren Baqian was holding a small "muskmelon" in his hand and demonstrating to over 20 winged cavalry soldiers.

"First of all, hold down the handle here and pull out the ring... Remember, the ring must be pulled out and the handle must be held down. In a moment, if anyone screws up, I\'ll show him the meaning of \'fluttering in the wind.\' If he doesn\'t die, I will peel off his skin and hang him inside the city. I will then get someone to draw an elephant on his d*ck until the Great Xia soldiers retreat. After that, I will drag him back to Lan City and hang him from the top of the city wall. If any of you wants to flaunt the size of your d*ck, you can consider making a mistake deliberately."

The more than 20 winged cavalry warriors looked at Ren Baqian as he laughed foolishly.

"After pulling out the ring, continue holding the handle and throw it at a place where there are many of our enemies," Ren Baqian continued to explain and threw the "muskmelon" at the bottom of the city wall.

With Ren Baqian\'s strength, he threw the grenade 100 meters away, and it landed just under the feet of the Great Xia soldiers who were guarding the step ladders.

Boom!

A group of people had just run over while carrying a step ladder. Along with the explosion, half of them were killed on the spot while the remaining people also suffered injuries.

The Type 82-2 grenade weighed 260 grams, which was the same as half a catty. It contained 62 grams of high explosives and 1,600 small steel bearings which were three millimeters in diameter. The outer shell of the grenade could also form 330 pieces of 0.3 gram fragments that had an explosive radius of six meters.

Although the explosives weren\'t that powerful, the numerous fragments and small steel bearings would explode outward at an initial speed of 1400 meters per second. This would be enough to turn the surrounding people into sieves and cause a large number of casualties.

This time, Ren Baqian brought back no less than 600 grenades with him. He also brought 30 of the 60 millimeter napalm mortar shells as well as 30 bouncing mines.

Currently, Ren Baqian had 600 grenades, 42 mortar shells, and 38 bouncing mines with him.

"Everyone take ten grenades each and use them when the other party gathers to attack us. In no time, you will be able to disrupt their attacking momentum," Ren Baqian exhorted. The more than 20 winged cavalry warriors acted like Thousand-hand Bodhisattvas that were using their shadowless arms. In an instant, the two boxes were empty as the grenades disappeared in no time.

"Bastards!" Ren Baqin cursed. 26 people came forward to collect the grenades, but 300 grenades had disappeared.
