When attacking another country, one cannot just make one preparation. Otherwise, once one method is discovered, the plan will fail, people will be on guard, and it will be extremely difficult to win without bloodshed.
Li Yuan pondered, "The ground beneath Li State is mostly rocky, so digging a cave is extremely difficult. When did you start digging?"
"We started preparing when the merchants passed through the Kingdom of Li. At that time, we hadn't discovered the natural barrier yet. We couldn't attack from the front or from the sky, so we could only attack from underground." Lin Su said, "How do we defeat this underground attack method?"
The test questions were truly everywhere. Li Yuan began to ponder: "Water attack, if water flows through, the underground caverns are very likely to collapse."
"The tunnel is under the capital of Li State. Once it collapses, many houses will collapse and the people will be injured. Let's think about it later." Lin Su said.
Li Yuan bit his knuckles unconsciously and said, "What about the poison attack? The poison gas has entered it, so naturally no one dares to enter it."
"The tunnel connects to the city, but it's not completely sealed. It has three burrows. If the poison gas leaks, or accidentally enters the water source, the people of the entire Li Kingdom will suffer." Lin Su didn't get angry because his answer was incomplete, but just pointed out the mistakes. "Besides, I told you, I'm proficient in the art of treating poisons. If I ignore the people and directly ignite the poisonous smoke, no city in the world can stop it. Your poison is useless against me."
Li Yuan didn't lose his confidence despite being rejected again. After all, he had been dealt enough blows recently. Compared to the soldiers who had to study military manuals on their own, he was like a backdoor to Lin Su. However, neither water nor poison attacks were effective, which was really embarrassing.
He wrote them down one by one on the paper, but denied them one by one, while pulling his hair unconsciously. Lin Su held his palm, really afraid that he would pull his black hair out.
Li Yuan had one of his hands played with by him, and he really spent the whole afternoon and evening thinking about it. When it was time to go to bed, he still had no intention of stopping. Lin Su put the finger to his lips and bit it.
When Li Yuan felt some pain, he came back to his senses and asked, "What are you doing?"
"It's time to rest and think about it tomorrow." Lin Su said.
Li Yuan looked hesitant and said, "We won't sleep together. You go to sleep first."
He needs to think about it again.
In the past, no one would oppose his opinion, even his aunt could only dissuade him, but now...
Lin Su sighed, "Do you want to go by yourself or should I carry you?"
When there is still a person on the Queen Mother's head, she cannot even sleep freely.
Li Yuan frowned and said, "I really can't sleep if I don't want to come out."
"I heard from my aunt that when you got the Luban Lock, you liked it so much that you stayed up all night. Staying up late is harmful to your health. Do you want to die young and let someone else take your position as queen?" Lin Su raised his eyebrows.
Li Yuan felt a tightness in his chest whenever he thought of that scene. If someone else snuggled in this man's arms, joked with him, listened to his stories, or showed him sweet affection, he would be so angry that he would jump out of his body even if he died.
"No!" Li Yuan blurted out.
"The little queen is very jealous. Do you want to sleep or not?" Lin Su asked.
Li Yuan took a deep breath, propped up his cheeks and said, "Sleep!"
"So good." Lin Su picked the person up.
Li Yuan quickly hugged his neck and said, "I, I sleep alone!"
He could still accept kissing and intimacy, but he was not mentally prepared for the frankness shown in the picture.
Lin Su held the person in his arms and did not let go, completely ignoring Li Yuan's request. With a panicked look on his face, he entered the cabin and put the person on the bed.
He pounced on his prey like a hungry tiger. Li Yuan subconsciously pulled the quilt beside him to wrap himself up, but he heard a light laugh above his head. The man stood up and helped him slowly take off his shoes and socks.
Li Yuan's white jade-like toes were tickled. He wanted to shrink back because of the itch, but his ankles were held and he couldn't shrink back. He tentatively poked his head out from under the quilt. The man was sitting by the bed, looking at him with a smile on his face: "Are you so scared?"
Li Yuan's mouth was still buried in the quilt as he grumbled, "I'm not ready yet."
"I won't force you on this matter, but if you're reluctant, don't blame me for pushing it too far." Lin Su put his feet in the quilt, took off his cloak, moved him to the bed, and lay down on his side.
"When have I ever been reluctant to accept someone?" Li Yuan asked with a lack of confidence.
He did look forward to being intimate with him sometimes, but he always unconsciously wanted to observe etiquette.
"Okay, you didn't refuse, but I was the only one who was lustful and always thinking about sleeping with the Queen Mother. I'm really a pervert." Lin Su smiled while supporting his head.
Li Yuan's eyes met his, then looked away again: "You're not that bad."
"If you want to fight the tunnel, your methods would work elsewhere, but in the capital of Li, you have to prioritize safety. Find a cave entrance and block it with rice soup mixed with mud. This way, the entrance can't be easily dug open again. Leave only one place and light a torch. If the torch doesn't go out after several days, it means there's another exit. Keep searching until it's completely extinguished, meaning all the entrances are blocked." Lin Su said, "This method is a bit troublesome, but even if someone uses it again in the future, they might suffocate to death."
A dim oil lamp lit the ship, which swayed leisurely. Li Yuan pinched the corner of the quilt and said, "I have indeed heard that people died mysteriously in extremely deep caves. It's not the ghosts of the dead, right?"
"Of course not. People are afraid of ghosts, so how can ghosts not be afraid of people?" Lin Su patted his quilt and said, "Go to sleep quickly and stop asking questions, otherwise you will ask until tomorrow morning."
"What about you?" Li Yuan looked up at him and said.
"I'll wait until you're asleep before I leave." Lin Su said with a smile, "Because you might start thinking about some problems again, or recalling a kiss that went badly, and then you'll toss and turn and be unable to sleep."
Li Yuan agreed with the former, but as for the latter: "I definitely wouldn't think about that!"
"Huh? Then how do you prove it?" Lin Su asked.
Li Yuan was speechless: "...How can this be proved?"
"If you fall asleep immediately, I will believe you." Lin Su pinched the tip of his nose.
Li Yuan closed his eyes, but the more he tried to sleep, the more his mind raced. He thought about today's roller skating and hang gliding, then about the tunnels. Why hadn't he thought of them? What was the principle of fire suffocation? Why did this man's kiss feel different from his own?
Kiss!!!
Li Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and met Lin Su's gaze. He felt as if he was seen through.
