Chapter 257: Fei Yan sits while Moon Goddess stands, the senior sister drinks tea while the junior sister drinks the northwest wind!
Lord Yan Chun’s attitude also partially represented that of the Emperor of Yan.
The Six-Fingered Black Man was left utterly shocked!
Yan State, in order not to offend Qin State, actually abandoned its crown prince!
“You… you all, Dan is the Emperor of Yan’s own son, your own nephew. Do you think this way, Qin State will spare Yan State?”
“Qin’s ambitions are obvious. Do you think yielding and compromising will save you?”
Faced with the Six-Fingered Black Man’s accusations, Lord Yan Chun immediately became furious.
“Nonsense, who are you to teach us how to do things?”
“Guards, chop him up and hang his head!”
As a prince, he would not tolerate being scolded by a mere wandering fighter!
The Six-Fingered Black Man’s face changed drastically upon hearing this; the suppressed injuries in his body could no longer be contained under his intense emotional turmoil.
He spat out a mouthful of black blood.
Seeing dozens of Yan soldiers rush towards him, he didn’t even have time to wipe the blood from his lips before he turned to head back to the small boat.
But it was too late!
A blue light shot out from Li Mo’s side and struck the Six-Fingered Black Man’s leg.
The Six-Fingered Black Man screamed in pain and fell headlong to the ground.
Dozens of soldiers seized the opportunity to jump on him one by one like stacking sacks, pressing him down.
Fei Yan turned to look at Moon Goddess, who had just made the move.
Faster than me?
Moon Goddess, eager to show off in front of Li Mo, acted without much thought.
When the Six-Fingered Black Man was captured, the two Mohist disciples who had brought him were terrified to the point of losing all color in their faces.
They knelt on the ground with weak knees.
Fei Yan glanced at Moon Goddess from the corner of her eye and saw that she was about to form a hand seal again, so she quickly moved to kill one of them first.
Moon Goddess wasn’t to be outdone.
Blue “Dragon’s Travel Qi” surged out.
But at that moment, Li Mo suddenly raised his hand, dispersing Moon Goddess’ move in mid-air!
“Dragon’s Travel Qi” scattered, making Lord Yan Chun take several steps back in shock.
With the help of a maid, he just managed not to fall.
After wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, he looked at Fei Yan and Moon Goddess with fear.
The more beautiful these two were, the more ruthless they were in action!
Can’t afford to provoke them, can’t afford to provoke!
Moon Goddess’ expression slightly changed, and she looked at Li Mo in confusion.
Li Mo calmly said, “Spare him to deliver a message. Zhang Han, take him away first.”
“Yes.”
Zhang Han summoned two Qin soldiers to escort the terrified Mohist disciple.
Moon Goddess lowered her head and said, “It was Moon Goddess’ impulsiveness that almost ruined the National Advisor’s plan.”
Li Mo shook his head and said nothing more.
Seeing his cold attitude, Moon Goddess’ face subtly dimmed further.
Her eyes, hidden under a veil, flashed with worry as regret filled her heart.
Could he be angry?
Is he blaming me for being meddlesome?
Over on Lord Yan Chun’s side, the efficiency was impressively fast.
After capturing the severely wounded Six-Fingered Black Man, they beheaded him.
They presented the head to Li Mo, and Lord Yan Chun sincerely asked, “National Advisor, we have executed him. What should we do next?”
Li Mo waved his hand, and Zhang Han immediately brought over the terrified Mojia disciple.
“Take your leader’s head back and tell the people in the Mechanical City that they can either open the gates and surrender, or I will lead my army to attack inside.”
He picked up Six-Fingered Black Man’s head and threw it into that Mohist disciple’s arms.
“Alright, alright, I comply, I comply.”
That disciple, already scared out of his wits, held the bloody head in his trembling hands and crawled back to the boat.
The small boat floating on the river seemed like a fragile raft lost in the sea, rowing frantically towards the Mohist Mechanical City.
Inside the Mechanical City, the Mohists had already noticed the situation outside.
If it weren’t for Elder Ban desperately blocking the door, they would have rushed out long ago.
But given the current circumstances, going out would be no different from throwing away one’s life!
The disciple who luckily survived returned to the Mechanical City, trembling as he held Six-Fingered Black Man’s head and relayed Li Mo’s words verbatim.
Hundreds of Mohist disciples instantly had red eyes.
“Chief!”
“Chief!”
He was fine when he went out; why did he come back with only a head?
“Let me out! I want to fight them to the death!”
“Yes! Rush out and avenge the Chief!”
“You want me to surrender? Ha, in your dreams!”
“Lord Yan Chun and that Qin State Minister conspired to trick the Chief out and kill him, and now they want to use the same trick again?”
“Rush out and kill Lord Yan Chun and that Minister, avenge the Chief!”
“Don’t be impulsive! Everyone calm down!”
Facing the furious Mohist disciples, Elder Ban was also at his wit’s end.
“If you go out now, aren’t you falling right into their trap?
“If we all die, the Mohists will be done for!”
A big man stepped out from the crowd, cursing, “To hell with you! Are we just going to let the Chief die in vain?”
“Right, you old scoundrel, you’re afraid to die, but we aren’t!”
Elder Ban was almost drowned in the scoldings.
Wiping away the spit on his face, he gritted his teeth and said, “Fools! Going out won’t avenge us; it will only make us die in vain.”
“Then what do you suggest?”
Besides the Mohist Chief, Elder Ban had the highest seniority.
After a brief thought, he said, “Move into the underground city, hold our ground!”
“Hold our ground?”
“Be cowards?”
Seeing he was about to be scolded again, Elder Ban quickly said, “The underground city is full of mechanisms. Even if they break in, we can still maneuver.
“As long as the Mohist line continues, we can rally all the heroes under heaven. With everyone’s strength, we’ll avenge the Chief. Isn’t that better than dying in vain?”
The defense of the Mechanical City is very unique…
It’s divided into inner and outer layers.
Outside, natural barriers like big rivers and cliffs act as shields.
Inside, there are various defense mechanisms and the Vermilion Bird Mechanical Beast.
The Mohist’s four divine beasts now only have this one Vermilion Bird left, which can only provide passive defense.
Hiding in the underground city might offer a slim chance of survival. If all the Mohist disciples die, avenging the Chief would indeed be hopeless.
Outside the Mechanical City.
Li Mo and Lord Yan Chun sat facing each other.
Compared to the fearful and furious atmosphere inside, the scene here was much more relaxed.
A teapot was placed on the short table in front of the two.
Lord Yan Chun’s maid knelt beside them, brewing tea.
Beside them, the unceasingly flowing river’s sound was like natural, beautiful music.
As Lord Yan Chun opened his mouth, the maid fed the tea to him, looking every bit the stereotypical rich, despotic landlord.
Li Mo disdainfully took a small sip from his teacup.
“Hmm, this tea is good. Honey, have a taste.”
Saying that, he handed the teacup to Fei Yan.
Fei Yan, holding the cup with her orchid fingers, took a small sip. Her lush lips, moistened by the tea, instantly looked as vivid as rose petals graced by morning dew.
The Moon Goddess standing beside them bit her lip, a flash of jealousy in her eyes.
Lord Yan Chun quickly slapped his forehead and smiled apologetically, “Look at my brain, sorry Master, sorry Master.”
“Someone, bring another jade cup, and pour tea for the Master’s wife.”
Li Mo nodded with satisfaction but said politely, “No need to trouble yourselves.”
“We must, we must.”
Lord Yan Chun wasn’t dumb.
Li Mo’s action clearly reminded him that he forgot a cup and that the Master’s wife didn’t have any tea.
Watching Fei Yan sit and enjoy tea with Li Mo…
The Moon Goddess nearly ground her teeth to pieces.
Why do you get to sit and drink tea, while I can only stand here and suffer?
I don’t accept this!
“No choice but to accept it, this Mohist Sect’s Mechanical City has a nice location, mountains and water.”
Suddenly, Lord Yan Chun patted his belly, feeling sentimental at the scene.
Li Mo chuckled softly, “The Mohist Sect’s ancestor chose a good place for their descendants, it’s indeed suitable for a tomb.”
Lord Yan Chun was taken aback and asked, “Do you mean that those Mohist Sect rebels won’t come out to surrender?”
Li Mo said indifferently, “Rather die than surrender, they do have some spine.”
The location of this place is not far from the Mechanical City, his perception can fully cover it.
He is perfectly aware of what’s being said and done inside.
Lord Yan Chun slapped his thigh and stood up, “What are we waiting for then? Men, form ranks, charge!”
As soon as the words fell, the once gently flowing river suddenly became turbulent.
The river surface swelled abruptly, and a torrent surged downstream from above!
