The Empress Is Gigolo 531 The Latest Discovery In The Laboratory

"He was the one who was sent to the rebels before he was persuaded to surrender. At the beginning, the situation was fine. Later, as the news of the persuasion spread, the rebels began to hunt and arrest them without any restraint. Among them, some were beheaded while others managed to escape. This person was one of the rebels who managed to escape in time. We just managed to contact him," Zuo Leng said in a serious tone.

"Where is he now?" Ren Baqian asked.

"This person didn't come back. He's now a captain under Tie Zihe. This time around, when the other party's soldiers crossed the river, many people who were lying low actually came to Xueyang City over the past two days. This time around, he actually got someone else to pa.s.s the message."

"What about those people that he persuaded to surrender? Did they recognize him? What method did he use to conceal his ident.i.ty?" Initially, Ren Baqian was doubtful. However, moments later, he suddenly understood what was going on.

"Yes, he had been appearing in front of people while wearing a mask for the past few decades. This time, while persuading others, he wore the same mask. When I noticed that something wasn't right, I immediately changed my ident.i.ty. I only learned about this moments ago," Zuo Leng replied. His words were rather unbelievable. Previously, this certain person had an ident.i.ty. However, he could actually survive for several decades without anyone finding out. If it wasn't for this incident, perhaps n.o.body would ever find out. This was indeed something shocking.

"He's a talent! What's his name?" Ren Baqian was slightly delighted as such a person would be very useful. Immediately, Ren Baqian thought about letting this person train a group of spies and so on.

"Sir, he's called Hu Cheng! Phoenix Knife's Hu Cheng, who is at the advanced stage of the Man Wheel level," Zuo Leng answered.

"Is there any other way to contact him?" Ren Baqian inquired. This person wasn't that strong, but fighting wasn't his forte.

"He left a way to contact him. As long as we send a message on time, he would naturally send someone to retrieve it," Zuo Leng replied.

"Well, let him send back the important news from Tie Zihe. Don't expose his ident.i.ty due to some insignificant news. If you sense that there's something weird about the situation, escape without any delay and dispatch someone to rescue him if necessary," Ren Baqian instructed. "As for those who have returned, let me meet them in the afternoon. Have you found a location for the Rearguard Commandery to be situated at?"

"Sir, I found a suitable residence. The owner of this residence has already moved elsewhere."

"Alright." Ren Baqian nodded and then asked again, "How are the three scholars from Great Xia doing?"

"Pretty good. They are able to deduce useful information from the the intelligence we collect."

After understanding part of the situation, Ren Baqian instructed Zuo Leng to take his leave.

In the afternoon, Ren Baqian met with those pract.i.tioners who had successfully escaped from the south and recruited them into the Rearguard Commandery.

After all, for those who had managed to survive under this sort of situation, it implied that they either had the ability to hide their ident.i.ty and escape or that they were meticulous and prudent. Regardless of whether they were the former or the latter, they were all people he was looking for.

When night fell, Ren Baqian returned to Earth. After being busy with all sorts of issues in Dayao over the past few days, he could finally take a rest upon returning to Earth.

It was such a pity that in the Congo, with dark-skinned men everywhere, he didn't even have the guts to look for entertainment.

Just as he turned his phone on, he saw a series of messages sent by Yang Sen. According to what Yang Sen said, Ren Baqian learned that many high-ranking government officials from his nation had been sacked.

This was Yang Sen's main point.

It seemed like Yang Sen had finally given him an explanation.

Seeing that there were some familiar names and ident.i.ties among the messages, Ren Baqian could finally heave a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Yang Sen didn't target a few small fries to try to deceive him.

Regardless of whether there were more officials to be sacked, he was satisfied with the numbers at present.

This was also sufficient to intimidate others.

He presumed that he would be undisturbed for a period of time.

Having stayed in the Congo for two days, Ren Baqian was introduced to a bigger arms dealer. It was said that this dealer had the right social connections and that as long as a hefty sum was paid, this dealer was able to get his hands on equipment that was hard to come by. For example, a 2,000-ton tactical nuclear bomb.

Back then, the US military caused 200,000 casualties with a 14,000-ton atomic bomb. On that very day, the number of fatalities was 80,000.

A 2,000-ton tactical nuclear bomb was good enough to destroy tens of thousands of soldiers.

With such large scale power, it could already be considered a military treasure.

The deterrence provided by such weapons was even more valuable.

As long as it was used once, everyone would definitely fall down on their knees.

Unfortunately, this was just hearsay. In the case that neither side was familiar with the other, the other party would naturally deny this flatly.

Ren Baqian left with the contact information of the arms dealer and was prepared to fish for more information in the future. If he was able to get one or two of these nuclear weapons from this arms dealer, Ren Baqian would definitely send one to Xia Baichong.

After settling this matter, Ren Baqian took a plane back.

The moment he set foot on the plane, many people could finally heave a sigh of relief.

Many people were afraid that he would hook up with the pretty and flirtatious sl*ts out there. Such a situation would spell trouble.

Once he got off the plane, Ren Baqian darted toward the Messier 87 department. A text message sent by Yang Sen, which pertained to one of the research results, made him feel very interested.

Upon meeting, the two parties pretended as if nothing had happened over the past month.

First of all, Ren Baqian asked as he entered, "You said that you guys have discovered the meridian system?"

The progress in this research made him extremely concerned.

"That's right. Take a seat first before we continue." Yang Sen then asked, "Do you want a cup of tea?"

After preparing two cups of tea, Yang Sen finally explained, "Indeed, we found it. It's called 'mesenchyme.' In fact, this was first discovered abroad. It's a channel network that's extremely tiny, full of liquid, and penetrates connective tissues. It exists under the human epidermis and is responsible for the 'flowing liquid highway' in the human body.

The mesenchyme is also known as an organ. Even though it was first discovered abroad, due to time, there hasn't been much research done on it.

Recently, our researchers have made a new discovery through some of the experts who have attained the Man Wheel level as well as from the corpses you provided.

After attaining the Man Wheel level, the essence blood in an expert's body will be transformed into qi. This qi continues to flow in their body all the time, and the pa.s.sage through which it flows is the 'mesenchyme' I have just mentioned. This is the so-called meridian system."

As Yang Sen spoke unhurriedly, Ren Baqian gave him a thumbs up and said, "Great discovery."

"And with this discovery, we have optimized the previous martial arts manuals. Now, they are even more suitable for the experts on Earth."

"I want a copy." Ren Baqian laughed. The research had finally yielded results, and it was indeed something joyous. At last, he managed to see some returns.

After optimization, these martial arts manuals could subsequently be safely handed over to his parents as well as Ren Wannian.

"We need more martial arts manuals. The more comprehensive the information base, the more we can reap out of our research," Yang Sen said.

"Very well. I just received a new batch recently. This collection is much better than what you have received before," Ren Baqian said.

Yang Sen couldn't help but retort, "You truly don't act without any incentives!"

"Don't put it that way. Nevertheless, I have to reap some benefits in return. After all, compared to what I have provided, the investment from you all is considered insignificant. Furthermore, this is a fresh batch of items. Recently, we have been at war and managed to copy a large number of martial arts manuals from different sects." Ren Baqian laughed heartily.

"Oh?" Immediately, Yang Sen revealed an expression that showed his interest.

"Enough talking. Anyway, I have a batch of martial arts manuals with me. I will pick out a portion for you.' Ren Baqian gestured with his hands. He didn't want to reveal too much about what was going on in Dayao.

"As for those experts' corpses, we also need more of them. The current number of specimens is too few," Yang Sen immediately replied.

"If there are suitable ones." Ren Baqian nodded. He could actually bring back the corpses of those rebel experts who were at the Spirit Wheel level. The meridian system (also called the channel network) is a concept in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) about a path through which the life-energy known as "qi" flows
