"I brought six bottles for Uncle; they’re the only ones left at home. Uncle, I know you’ll be especially busy these days, so I’m not here to convince you to rest well. I’m just here to deliver these items to you."

Chiang Xiao pointed to the items and said, "You can hold some ginseng slices in your mouth while working and drink more water. Also, this box is Ganoderma tea, and these boxes contain the treats sold at Youqingwei, which I made by hand with the finest tea powder. These can quickly replenish your energy and invigorate your spirit, so you don’t need to worry about your health."

Moreover, these items will clear his mind and enhance his memory, thus greatly improving his efficiency at work.

As she spoke these few words, Li Hanzhong could already feel the effects of the potion and ginseng slices.

Earlier, he was barely holding on and had reached a stage of extreme fatigue. But now, he felt as though he had slept and regained his spirits.

Therefore, he didn’t doubt Chiang Xiao’s words one bit.

"Doctor Chen always praises you, saying you have a talent, and the potion you developed is highly effective. He also mentioned that your herbs were personally sourced from Bai Gu Mountain and are exceptionally good, much better than any external medicine. Now, it seems true."

"Of course," Chiang Xiao chuckled.

Li Hanzhong took two more sips of water and breathed a sigh of relief, "You’ve really helped Uncle a lot. I still have much work to handle here. Even if I were to sleep, I’m afraid I wouldn’t rest easy."

He looked at Chiang Xiao and said, "And to think, someone suggested that Xinian and the others should stay stationed in Ke Ku Li."

Chiang Xiao’s heart skipped a beat.

She knew someone would definitely bring up Meng Xinian and their matters to stir trouble.

"Stationed permanently? Why should they be stationed?"

"It’s not just stationed," Li Hanzhong said. "The news received yesterday was that a wife and child of an Alliance Official in Ke Ku Li were captured by the enemy. According to reliable information, they were taken to the Rebel Army Base, and now someone is requesting that the Eight Elites Squad, where Xinian belongs, join the hostage rescue team."

Upon hearing this, Chiang Xiao nearly exploded.

Although Li Hanzhong’s tone was calm, she could hear clearly that this was an extremely dangerous mission!

Those traitors are all reckless outlaws, showing no mercy to civilians. As reported in broadcasts and newspapers, many innocents live miserable, fearful lives amidst the chaos.

The rebel base is naturally exceedingly perilous.

If they infiltrate, not to mention safely rescuing the hostages, even escaping unharmed would be a challenge.

It’s not a time to talk about righteousness; that’s the man she loves.

"Why involve them? Shouldn’t this be the responsibility of Ke Ku Li’s military?"

What she couldn’t comprehend was why it was proposed by people from her side.

It’s easy for them to talk without taking the risk themselves. They don’t worry at all, just opening their mouths without thinking?

What kind of joke is this!

"Yes, I’m against this, but Lu Zhenggang and others might insist," Li Hanzhong said. "All matters related to the Alliance are managed by Commander Cui. If he is convinced, forcibly opposing him might leave Commander Cui displeased."
