The Empress's Gigolo Chapter 574

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

The next day after school, Ren Baqian, who had two stink bombs in his waist pocket, rushed out of the city with some guards .

When he finally reached the outskirts of the city, he saw many people here .

Dozens of burly men were standing there . Some were bald, some had braided hair, and all of them had arms that could racehorses . It must be mentioned that the officials of Dayao did not have much of anything to do .

The two ministers, Tong Zhenye and Qing Chuan, were glaring at each other while surrounded by officials from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of War . The group of people were laughing boisterously .

Standing nearby was the reclusive Xuan Hua from the Ministry of Rites, Minister Zhuo Yan from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and Minister Xiong Yaohe from the Ministry of Appointments . Additionally, there were officials from the Ministry of Ceremonies, the Honglu Bureau, the Public Order Bureau, the Department of Inspection, the Department of Law, the Secretary of Scholars, the Secretary of Examinations, and other ministers .

Apart from the Great Elder, the Junior Elder, and members of the Ministry of Revenue, it seemed like everyone was gathered here .

Ren Baqian guessed that if a stink bomb was thrown at them, all the high-level officials in Dayao would be wiped out .

He had assumed that Tong Zhenye would bring along some small fries, but he didn’t imagine that so many would come .

He could understand why Qin Chuan was here .

However, weren’t the others overly exuberant in their curiosity?

It could only be said that only a few aboriginals weren’t unreasonable!

“Sir Ren is here!” Feng Hou laughed loudly when he saw Ren Baqian from afar and arrived in front of him after a few quick dashes .

“Why are there so many people?” Ren Baqian felt giddy at the thought of blowing away all the senior personnel of Dayao with a stink bomb . How would these people face him in the future?

“Sir Tong and Sir Qin bet on who can withstand the foul smell of Sir Ren . After the news spread, others were also curious to know how Sir Ren killed “Xia Baichong” with the odor!” Feng Hou laughed heartily, causing the flesh on his ugly face to ripple .

Ren Baqian pondered for a while and felt that it didn’t sound right . What did “the foul smell of Sir Ren” mean? It seemed to imply that he was smelly .

His eyes swept over Feng Hou with disgust and then the crowd .

“How do Minister Tong and Minister Qin want to wager?”

“Whoever can’t bear the smell must give a wide berth when meeting the other party for one month!” Feng Hou said .

Ren Baqian looked amused . These two were real warriors!

Anyone who got a whiff of this smell would certainly turn and run .

For this bet, whoever ran away first was the loser… The consequences would be unbearable and not worth the stakes!

“Sir Ren, I have waited for a long time! Let me experience the odor!” Ton Zhenye turned his head toward Ren Baqian as he laughed .

“Principal Ren, we have also waited for a very long time . ” Everyone cupped their hands .

“The opportunity is finally in my hands! When you see me next time, just give me a wide berth!” Qin Chuan sneered .

“Who is this old dude shouting at?” Tong Zhenye looked at Qin Chuan scornfully .

“I’m shouting at you!” Qin Chuan was about to fall into the same pit that he had fallen into many times before .

Ren Baqian smiled courteously as he walked through the crowd, took out two stink bombs from his waist, gesticulated, and said, “Pull this out and throw it under your feet . ”

“Won’t it explode?” Tong Zhenye asked doubtfully . This thing looked like it was going to explode!

“This isn’t a bomb, so how is that possible? Moreover, even if it explodes, it’s nothing to you seniors . ”

He gave the two gadgets to the two elders, one in each hand, then cupped his hands toward the crowd and said, “Carry on with what you were doing . I have urgent things to do and need to see the empress!”

After he finished speaking, he turned around and ran as if a dog was chasing him .

He was afraid of the remote possibility of someone throwing the stink bombs at him in retaliation . Having smelled the odor once before, he didn’t want to experience it a second time .

“It turned out to be like this . Do I pull this ring out?” Tong Zhenye fiddled with the stink bomb and threw it at his feet after pulling out the ring .

After Qin Chuan did likewise, they glared at each other .

In less than five seconds, a strong, suffocating, and tear-inducing smell pervaded the air .

The people around them screamed and scrambled away .

The scene was similar to that of an explosion with people seen speeding away in all directions .

They vomited as they ran and looked as though they had eaten sh*t . Sure enough, the odor was bad enough to kill “Xia Baichong,” which was extraordinary .

Only Qin Chuan and Tong Zhenye were left behind, standing and glaring at each other as their faces turned green . The smell was suffocating them, and it felt like countless hammers were whacking their heads at the same time . Their eyes were seeing stars, their noses were running, and their tears were flowing uncontrollably .

“This odor can certainly kill ‘Xia Baichong’… Retch…” Tong Zhengye looked like he had been kicked in the crotch dozens of times . His face alternated between turning green and blue, but he adamantly refused to run despite the agony .

He almost ran off, but subconsciously pulled back after being reminded of the bet and steadfastly stayed put .

He wasn’t afraid of losing, but losing to this old adversary was worse than death .

“Argh, you can’t hold it, can you? Get lost if you can’t bear it! Retch… Just retreat far away when you see me next time!” Qin Chuan’s face was in a similar condition to Tong Zhengye’s as he gritted his teeth to hold on despite the anguish .

“I’m obviously fine, but if your old bones can’t withstand the torment, then don’t end up like ‘Xia Baichong!’” Tong Zhenye widened his eyes and squeezed out these words from his gritted teeth .

“The stench of Sir Ren is extraordinary . If you can’t take it, just admit defeat and I will not make you give me a wide berth!” Qin Chuan also widened his eyes and stared fiercely at Tong Zhenye .

“Haha, old timer, how could it be possible that I, Tong Zhenye wouldn’t be able to withstand this foul smell? On the contrary, you can leave if you can’t bear it . I will let you off this once and not make you give me a wide berth!” Tong Zhenye thought about laughing but almost vomited as a result . In the end, he managed a dry smile .

Both were unable to convince the other and endured the stench that was really over the limit while staring at each other .

Old b*stard, you want to drag me along even when dying . I will never let you off!Tong Zhenye cursed Qin Chuan silently and continuously felt his tears flowing .

This old fogey is still not giving up, but I don’t believe you can hold on! Qin Chuan also had this thought in mind .

Their eyes were like copper bells staring at each other . Meanwhile, the two iron cylinders at their feet were still emitting that smell and making the stench more intense in the surrounding area .

“Hahaha! Do you dare to take a deep breath?” Tong Zhenye noticed that Qin Chuan’s chest was hardly moving, so he laughed .

“Is there any reason not to dare?” Qin Chuan took a deep breath . His stomach turned, and he almost vomited his breakfast… but he forced it back! His teeth still tasted of gastric acid, and he slyly said, “Old fogey, do you dare to take a deep breath?’

…

The rest of the people had escaped far away, but even though they were out of range, they could still smell the stench on their bodies that smelled like rotten corpses filled with maggots .

Turning their heads to look at Qin Chuan and Tong Zhenye, who were still standing in their original positions, the crowd couldn’t help but admire them .

“Those two are extraordinary!”

After saying this, they quickly ran home to take a bath .

Ren Baqian ran all the way back to the city wall before looking into the distance and seeing the two standing there without moving at all .

Ren Baqian admired them in his heart and thought, Those two are really brave warriors!

Taking a bath in a so-called hot feces pit wasn’t necessarily comparable to the courage of the two men out there . At the very least, Ren Baqian couldn’t do it .

He didn’t know how many days it would take to wash off the smell from their bodies due to the fact that they were standing there in that manner . It was better to inform the empress and put them on leave!

Otherwise, nobody would be able to stay in court the next morning .
