Time Travel: The First Female Imperial Teacher of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 73: Life and Death 1 Confidant, Life and Death 2 Wife

Han Xin and Long Ju looked at each other and felt a little confused.

This woman looked weak, but the strength revealed in her words was shocking. She actually dared to speak to the First Emperor like this.

Ying Zheng seemed to have noticed their confusion and whispered, "Here, I am just a noble merchant. You just need to show your value."

Han Xin said in a deep voice: "May I ask what talents you need?"

Lin Anlan smiled faintly, "It doesn't matter which aspect."

Han Xin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. As long as it was useful, it would be fine.

Lin Anlan seemed to have thought of something, and went back to the kitchen and took out a few jars of wine and placed them on the table.

"Drink as you like."

Although Han Xin and Long Qie were a little reserved, they still picked up their bowls, filled them with wine, and began to drink.

Seeing that the two were unable to let go, Lin Anlan simply changed the subject and said, "Just now I said I wanted to prove your usefulness. How about this, I'll give you a difficult problem. If anyone of you can solve it, I'll agree to keep you."

Upon hearing this, Han Xin hurriedly said, "I would like to hear the details."

Lin Anlan tidied up his hair and said slowly, "If you lead your army to fight, and are surrounded by an enemy that is ten times your size, and have run out of ammunition and food, and have only a cliff to retreat to, what would you do?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell silent.

Han Xin, Long Qie and Meng Yi frowned and fell into deep thought.

Ying Zheng looked at Lin Anlan with amusement. The questions this girl asked were really difficult.

Seeing this, Lin Anlan smiled faintly: "No need to rush to answer, just take your time."

Han Xin took a deep breath, clasped his fists and said, "This is a situation where we are doomed to die. We have no choice but to fight to the death."

Lin Anlan shook his head: "If I were the enemy, I would just block your only escape route and you would have no chance of survival."

Han Xin fell silent. This was indeed a difficult problem.

Lin Anlan was not in a hurry and waited quietly for their answers.

Time passed slowly. About half a cup of tea later, Han Xin's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something.

"I thought about it."

Hearing this, everyone looked at him.

Han Xin looked serious and spoke slowly, "We can build a plank road on the surface to confuse the enemy, but actually secretly dig a tunnel that leads directly to the river under the cliff. When the enemy relaxes their vigilance, we can secretly retreat into the tunnel and escape down the river. By the time the enemy reacts, we will have gone far away. In order to hunt us down, the enemy will definitely send ships. We can then take the opportunity to attack the enemy ships and turn defeat into victory."

After hearing Han Xin's plan, everyone was stunned. Even though Ying Zheng was extremely shrewd, he was still shocked at this moment.

He never expected that Han Xin would come up with such an idea.

There was a glimmer of light in Lin Anlan's beautiful eyes, and she looked at Han Xin with admiration in her eyes.

This Marquis of Huaiyin really lives up to his reputation. She had already guessed the approximate identities of the two people just now, and now she has confirmed it!

"This is a brilliant plan." Ying Zheng couldn't help but admire.

Lin Anlan also smiled and said, "Congratulations, you passed."

Han Xin heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, and clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, young lady."

Lin Anlan chuckled: "We are family from now on, don't be so polite. By the way, I'll give you a famous quote."

Han Xin's expression suddenly became solemn when he heard this, and he said seriously, "I would like to hear the details."

Lin Anlan smiled faintly: "A confidant in life and death, two wives in life and death!"

Lin Anlan looked at the puzzled Han Xin and said with a smile: "You are born with great luck in love, but you only know two women. Although you are deeply in love with them, your marriage is not going well. Every time you date someone interferes, and you even become enemies. In the end, you end up with nothing."

"Tsk, tsk, pathetic."

When Han Xin heard this, he was shocked. He stared at Lin Anlan in disbelief, with admiration on his face.

This sentence hit Han Xin's sore spot.

In fact, he really only knew two women, and each time he was interfered with by others, which ended up in a big mess.

Seeing this, Meng Yi, who was standing by, couldn't help but twitch his mouth twice, and looked at Han Xin with sympathy in his eyes.

Lin Anlan ignored the shocked expressions of the crowd, turned to look at Long Qie, and asked with a smile: "What are you best at?"

Hearing this, Long Qie scratched his head and said shyly: "I am not good at military tactics, but I have brute force."

"Oh?" Lin Anlan's beautiful eyes lit up, "How powerful is it?"

Long Qie pointed to the ore not far away, scratched his head and said, "That, I can lift it."

When everyone heard this, they looked and saw a huge piece of ore standing there, which probably weighed more than 500 kilograms.

"What is this?" Ying Zheng asked curiously.

Lin Anlan explained: "This piece of ore weighs 500 kilograms, and the piece of refined steel next to it also weighs 100 kilograms."

Ying Zheng took a deep breath and began to doubt what Long Ju said.

Seeing this, Lin Anlan covered his mouth and chuckled.

"Long Qie, since you said so, I will test you."

Hearing this, Long Qie immediately took a step forward and walked in front of the ore. He squatted down, exerted force with his arms, and shouted loudly.

"Click."

A crisp sound spread all around.

When everyone looked closely, they saw that the 500-pound ore had been lifted up.

"Hiss." Ying Zheng couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and felt his scalp tingling.

Lin Anlan's smile grew wider, and his eyes looking towards Long Qie became brighter and brighter.

Seeing this, Long Ju roared again and bent the piece of tempered steel.

"Good!" Lin Anlan clapped her hands excitedly. She was right about the guy. This Long Jue was born with supernatural powers!

Ying Zheng was also delighted and exclaimed: "What a brave warrior!"

Long Qie scratched his head awkwardly and smiled innocently.

Lin Anlan looked at Ying Zheng and asked with a smile: "Brother, what do you think of these two people?"

Ying Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "I deeply admire your ability to judge people."

Lin Anlan rolled his eyes: "Speak human language."

Ying Zheng coughed and said, "These two are rare talents. If they can join the Qin Dynasty, they will surely achieve extraordinary feats."

Only then did Lin Anlan show a look of satisfaction.

She looked at Han Xin and Long Qie and said with a smile, "Welcome to join us."

The two were immediately excited when they heard this.

Han Xin hurriedly said, "Thank you, young lady. May I know your name?"

"My name is Lin Anlan."

Han Xin recited a few words silently and memorized them deeply in his heart.

Lin Anlan looked at Ying Zheng and said with a smile: "You must be hungry. I will go cook for you."

Ying Zheng nodded hurriedly, his face full of anticipation. He had always been envious of Lin Anlan's cooking skills.

Lin Anlan smiled sweetly, turned and walked into the kitchen.

Meng Yi looked at Han Xin and Long Ju, then at Lin Anlan's back, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This Mr. Lin is truly an extraordinary person.

Soon, the aroma of roasted whole lamb wafted out. Lin Anlan came out with a plate in his hand and said apologetically, "Our conditions are limited. We can only eat this."

Ying Zheng laughed: "I am already satisfied with the food cooked by a maid."

Lin Anlan rolled his eyes at him and said, "You're such a chatterbox."

Invite everyone to sit down and have a meal together.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, everyone gradually became familiar with each other and chatted enthusiastically.

Ying Zheng glanced at Lin Anlan, then at Han Xin and Long Qie, and suddenly asked, "Girl, what do you think should be done with these two?"
