Chapter 308

Chapter 308: Yan Lingji Brewing Tea, A Word Is Hard to Express! Fei Yan Is Better!

Li Xin watched in awe, repeatedly exclaiming “Goodness!”

The people from Armored Door are really all about physical training first.

Dianqing looked like an ox, and Mei Sanniang was not much better.

At most, she just wasn’t as big as him!

She was a whole half a head shorter than Dianqing!

If these two were to pair up, could they not finish a meal in one bite?

Fortunately, the two parties had no idea about Li Xin’s thoughts.

Otherwise, with their strength, one punch from either of them could definitely turn him into meat mud.

“Junior sister, how did you get here? Did they capture you?”

Dianqing suddenly sensed that something was off.

Mei Sanniang had clearly allied with the farming families; how could she be with people from the Qin State?

“Did they threaten you to convince me?”

Dianqing immediately became alert, protecting Mei Sanniang as if he were holding a little chick.

“Sanniang, don’t be afraid, with your senior brother here, no one can hurt you!”

Mei Sanniang pushed him from behind and explained, “I came here myself with the National Advisor; they didn’t threaten me.”

Dianqing was taken aback: “You came on your own? What exactly is going on?”

Mei Sanniang looked up at him, then glanced at the soldiers around.

It was obvious that it was too crowded here to talk.

Seeing this, Yan Lingji suggested, “Let’s go inside and talk slowly; you two junior sisters can catch up.”

Mei Sanniang looked at Yan Lingji and nodded, “Thank you.”

After saying that, she grabbed Dianqing by his waistband and dragged him into the courtyard.

“You all go back, there’s nothing to see here. Withdraw these soldiers as well.”

As soon as the two entered the house, Li Mo turned to Wang Ben and Li Xin and said.

Li Xin, feeling anxious, said, “What if something goes wrong? If Dian Qing goes mad, no one can control him.”

Wang Ben shot him a glare: “Isn’t the National Advisor here?”

If Li Mo can’t handle Dian Qing, then their presence here would be pointless.

Li Xin secretly glanced at Li Mo and quickly covered his mouth.

With an ingratiating smile, he said, “Right, right, I was being foolish.”

“You all go back, just get on with your business.”

He waved his hand, ordering the soldiers to withdraw, while he and Wang Ben stayed behind.

The few of them waited in the courtyard for a long time but didn’t see that pair of siblings come out.

Li Xin looked up at the tightly closed door and muttered while stroking his chin, “These two aren’t… doing that in the room, are they?”

He genuinely wanted to see if such a big guy like Dian Qing could take a step straight to the stomach.

“Why don’t you go in and take a look?”

Yan Lingji shot him a glance with an annoyed expression.

This Li Xin really talked too much.

His ability to gossip and brag was definitely stronger than his fighting skills.

“Or maybe not, that big guy could swat me to death with a slap!”

Li Xin shrank his neck back, looking nervous as he spoke.

Wang Ben then turned to Li Mo and seriously asked, “Does the National Advisor intend to recruit Dian Qing to serve our Qin State?”

Li Mo had thought about this when he first asked him to pull Dian Qing out from the pile of corpses.

But with the Wei Martial Soldiers suffering over half of their losses from the bombardment, would Dian Qing easily surrender to Qin?

“A single man holding a pass can stop thousands, you’ve seen Dian Qing’s abilities as well. If he can serve our Qin State, that would be wonderful.”

Li Mo picked up the tea that Yan Lingji had made for him and took a sip.

This seductive woman usually was too lazy, so it was rare for her to take the initiative to make tea for him.

After taking a sip, however, Li Mo’s expression changed.

He put the teacup down without a word, looking utterly helpless.

Yan Lingji blinked at him, “What’s wrong? Doesn’t it taste good?”

Li Mo sighed, “The water hasn’t boiled.”

Is this a question of whether it’s good to drink or not?

Clearly, it’s about whether it can be consumed!

I miss Fei Yan!

If I had known earlier, it would have been great to bring her along—she’s gentle, considerate, and attentive.

She takes care of everything meticulously.

But when he arrived, Fei Yan was in seclusion, and given the pressing war situation, they didn’t wait.

Had the explosives been delivered a day earlier, the Qin army would have suffered fewer casualties.

Yan Lingji rolled her eyes, picked up a teacup from the table, and cradled it in her palms.

A flame emanating from her hands burned like a gas stove.

Before long, the water in the cup began to bubble.

“Drink up!”

Yan Lingji angrily slammed the teacup down onto the table.

Li Mo, holding the steaming teacup, blew on it and took a sip.

He praised, “Madam, your skills are wonderful; this tea is really fragrant.”

Only then did Yan Lingji squint her eyes in satisfaction: “Fragrant, right? I specially brewed it for you.”

Wang Ben and Li Xin looked at Li Mo as he savored the aromatic hot tea in his hands.

Then, glancing at the cool water in their hands,

they suddenly felt that the water was sour.

Having tasted a mouthful of dog food, Wang Ben changed the subject, saying, “This time, the Wei Martial Soldiers suffered heavy losses. What if Dian Qing refuses to surrender?”

Under the bombardment of several rounds of gunpowder, at least half of the twenty thousand Wei Martial Soldiers had been lost.

With such enmity, Dian Qing was unlikely to let it go.

After hearing this, Li Mo shook his head and said, “Dian Qing’s loyalty is foolish loyalty. He’s a man who holds onto his beliefs and may not be able to change his thinking. Therefore,

I specifically found someone who can reason with him and influence him.”

Li Xin interjected, “That little carrot?”

“Exactly.”

Li Mo nodded and continued, “Mei Sanniao was already dissatisfied with Dian Qing serving Wei. The two had separated over this issue before.”

“I sent someone to inform her from the farming family that Dian Qing was in danger, and without hesitation, she came with us. What does this indicate?”

Wang Ben blurted out, “It indicates she still cares about Dian Qing.”

If someone else had said such words to Mei Sanniao, she might not have believed it.

She understood Dian Qing’s strength very well.

One could say, there are very few people in this world who can hurt him.

But unfortunately,

Li Mo is one of the few!

Wang Ben nodded thoughtfully: “With Mei Sanniang’s persuasion, and now that Wei State has fallen, Dianqing’s adherence to his

late mentor’s wishes has become meaningless.”

As they were talking, the previously closed door finally opened.

Mei Sanniang walked in front, with Dianqing following closely and hunching over as he came out.

“National Advisor, senior brother has agreed.”

Under the expectant gazes of Wang Ben and Li Xin, Mei Sanniang looked at Li Mo and spoke.

Before Wang Ben and Li Xin could express their joy, Li Mo smiled, “With conditions?”

Mei Sanniang frowned and glanced at Dianqing with a sense of melancholy.

Dianqing pushed her aside, took a step forward, and buzzed at Li Mo, “I can serve you, but you can’t just let go of the grudge for killing so many Wei

Martial Soldiers.”

Yan Lingji raised her eyebrows and stepped on the table, glaring fiercely at Dianqing: “So what do you want?”

Dianqing had no intention of paying her any mind; Li Mo was the main character here.

With her small arms and legs, he could easily knock her down with one punch.

He directly addressed Li Mo: “If you can take three punches from me, I’ll listen to you from now on.”
