Chapter 906: Deadly Ginseng Soup

After she said that, Lin Yun lowered his head to look at the soup in the porcelain bowl. There were a few ginseng whiskers soaked in the golden soup, with a red date floating on top. It looked good and smelled fragrant.

Afterwards, Lin Yun took a small sip carefully.

If it was the soup cooked by Lin Wu Yue, Lin Yun would definitely eat it up without saying a word.

But he was really skeptical about Una's soup.

And Una looked at him expectantly, waiting for Lin Yun's praise.

But as soon as Lin Yun took a sip of the soup, his tongue went numb and a strong bitter taste almost made him vomit.

But he was also worried about hurting the girl's self-esteem, so he could only endure the severe discomfort and swallow the small sip of soup, which was more difficult than drinking pesticides.

Una, who was standing by, didn't know if she really didn't see the problem or was just pretending to be dumb, so she asked, "How is it? Husband, how is my soup?"

Lin Yun had a sad face and nodded, "It's... delicious! Concubine Wu, I think you should not do such dirty and tiring work in the future! If the fumes cause you to have any problems, it will hurt you and hurt me too!"

Una's eyes lit up, and she kept in mind what Lin Wu Yue had said to her, "To keep a man's heart, you must first keep his stomach!"

So, this time she finally got to be alone with Lin Yun, so naturally she had to show her virtuous side.

"Great! I finally learned how to make soup! Since you like it, I will make soup for you every day in the future!"

She was born in the Panda royal court and grew up on the grassland. Although she didn't eat raw meat and drink blood, she rarely drank soup. Most of the time, she ate various roasted beef and mutton, and at most boiled meat with a little salt.

This time, she was pleasantly surprised to learn how to make soup, which is what Jiangxia women are best at.

"Come on, husband, since it tastes good, drink up this big bowl!"

As she spoke, Una handed over the porcelain bowl, and Lin Yun was suddenly overwhelmed.

"Empress Wu, actually..."

Seeing that the third lady couldn't tell good from bad, he was just about to tell the truth so that he wouldn't have to suffer this torture again in the future.

But at this moment, Zhao Ji walked in along the corridor on the side.

When he saw Lin Yun and Una, he immediately knelt on the ground.

"I pay my respects to the Emperor and Concubine Wu!"

Lin Yun looked depressed: "Get up! Do you have something to talk to me about?"

Zhao Ji scratched his head awkwardly and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, actually... it's not a big deal. It's just that I finally got out and wanted to go back to Fufeng County to visit my father..."

Lin Yun nodded and said, "Don't worry, I have already arranged everything here. We will leave for Qianfufeng County tomorrow. I also need to have a good talk with King Zhao!"

Zhao Ji was overjoyed: "Great! Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace! Hey, Your Majesty is so lucky! I didn't expect Concubine Wu to be able to cook Jiangxia County's unique black chicken and ginseng soup!"

Una said proudly, "That's right! It seems that Master Zhao will not have a good meal today! When there is a chance another day, I will make more of this nourishing ginseng soup for Master Zhao to taste!"

Zhao Ji clasped his fists in return: "Then I would like to thank Concubine Wu first!"

Lin Yun looked down at the porcelain bowl in his hand and smiled wickedly: "Since you want to taste it, then this bowl of ginseng soup that Concubine Wu made for me is given to you, Zhao Ji!"

Zhao Ji didn't think too much about it. He thought he was the emperor's favorite, so he immediately knelt down and took the bowl of soup with both hands.

"Thank you for your reward, Your Majesty! I will respectfully obey your command!"

As he said this, he was about to drink it all.

Lin Yun saw this and said with a half-smile: "Zhao Ji, my Concubine Wu personally made this soup, don't waste even a drop, or I'll take your head!"

"Hehe! How could that be possible! I'm just thirsty and this bowl of ginseng soup is just right for me!" Zhao Ji tilted his head back and drank it in one gulp.

But as soon as the soup entered his mouth, he was completely dumbfounded. Although the soup was delicious, it tasted bitter, obviously because too much salt was added.

Just as he was about to spit it out, he saw Lin Yun's warning look and Una's expectant gaze. In the end, Zhao Ji forced a smile, swallowed the soup, and pretended to enjoy it.

Lin Yun asked playfully: "How is it? How does the soup cooked by my Concubine Wu taste?"

"Good! The soup is delicious!"

Zhao Ji was regretting so much at this moment. Why did he come here to suffer for nothing?

Moreover, he secretly cursed Lin Yun for being so bad.

It's obviously digging your own grave.

But I just can't tell the truth.

He now felt his tongue was numb and he kept swallowing his saliva. He wished he could go to the garden and grab a handful of soil to rinse his mouth.

Una was overjoyed: "Great! I didn't expect that I was so talented at making soup! My husband, I will go to the kitchen and make more soup for you to taste!"

In her opinion, Zhao Ji was from Fufeng County, which was adjacent to Jiangxia County. People from both counties grew up drinking soup, so her cooking skills must be good.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Lin Yun grabbed her little hand.

"Don't! Concubine Wu, from now on, prepare to enter the kitchen again, okay? From now on, your little hands can only touch my body, except for my weapons! This is an imperial decree, you cannot disobey!"

Una frowned slightly, and seeing how sternly he spoke, she could only nod in agreement, then turned and left.

Lin Yun and Zhao Ji then breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Ji looked unhappy: "Your Majesty, you are really mean!"

Lin Yun raised an eyebrow: "What did you say?"

Zhao Ji then realized that he had said the wrong thing in a hurry and quickly knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, calm down. I just said the wrong thing!"

Lin Yun smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "Get up! This time you have done a great job in protecting the emperor!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Ji quickly stood up and walked to the table beside him, opened the lid of the teapot, and drank the tea in big gulps to rinse his mouth.

Lin Yun asked: "This is the first time that the Thunder Artillery has been used in actual combat. As one of the craftsmen who participated in the design and manufacture, do you feel satisfied?"

Zhao Ji raised his eyes and stole a glance at him, then immediately put down the teapot, clasped his fists and said, "If Your Majesty is satisfied, then I am satisfied! If Your Majesty is not satisfied, then I can immediately return to the capital to make corrections!"

"Humph, you cunning guy! If I say you are cunning, then you are cunning! I want to hear your true feelings, not your flattery to me!"

Zhao Ji sighed: "I have tested it many times in the suburbs of Beijing before, and I feel that its power is quite good! But to be honest, I am not satisfied with this actual combat! Although it has achieved the effect of breaking the city, it seems a bit forced..."

Lin Yun nodded and said, "Yes! The effect I want is to blow the city wall into pieces after a round of volleys! If there are still people standing on the city wall, there should be no body left!"

Although the ancient city walls were thick, they were made of only blue bricks and were completely incomparable to reinforced concrete buildings.

Therefore, according to his idea, the power of the thunder bomb cannon should be able to easily blow the city wall into pieces. If such power is used on other terrains, it will definitely be more lethal.
