Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 100 Xu Lin personally goes to Shu County

When Xu Lin and the little girl Duanmu Rong arrived at the Nian residence, Nian Duan was sleeping on the table.

The little girl, Duanmu Rong, wanted to call out to Nian Duan, but Xu Lin stopped her.

"Has your master not been sleeping much lately?"

Xu Lin asked gently.

"Correct."

“Master has been busy until after midnight every day lately.”

Duanmu Rong nodded.

"Then let your master get some rest."

Xu Lin suggested.

Duanmu Rong nodded vigorously.

Then she went to the kitchen to serve Xu Lin rice.

When she arrived at the Xu residence, Xu Lin was having dinner. Before she finished eating, Xu Lin came with her.

"Sir, would you like a pancake, or..."

After more than ten breaths, the little girl Duanmu Rong asked.

She was interrupted by Xu Lin just before she finished speaking.

"Eat pie."

Xu Lin answered.

"Let your master get some rest."

"I'll eat out."

Seeing that Nian Duan was sleeping soundly, Xu Lin lowered his voice and said.

After speaking, he walked straight into the courtyard.

The little girl, Duanmu Rong, nodded slightly.

Half an hour later, Nian Duan woke up.

After catching a glimpse of Xu Lin out of the corner of her eye, Nian Duan greeted him somewhat shyly before starting to wash up.

After washing up, Nian Duan took the Artemisia annua extract she had extracted at low temperature and walked quickly toward Xu Lin.

"Mr. Nianduan."

Do you think it will be useful?

Xu Lin took the medicine bottle, looked at the Artemisia annua liquid inside, and asked seriously.

"should have."

"But experiments are needed."

"So I plan to go to Sichuan and Chongqing tonight."

Nian Duan answered while thinking.

Then she tucked her water-soaked hair, which had become clumps, behind her ears.

"it is good."

"Let's go together."

Xu Lin said loudly.

He doesn't like staying in one place all the time.

Even without the malaria outbreak in Sichuan, he would have traveled to Nanjun or other prefectures for a while to relax.

"it is good."

Nian Duan was taken aback upon hearing this, then nodded.

Xu Lin insisted on going, what could she say?
Xu Lin is the deputy commander of the Shadow Guard; would he listen to her?
Moreover, the idea of ​​low-temperature extraction of Artemisia annua came from Xu Lin.

……

That night.

Nian Duan personally drove to the Xu residence.

She had no intention of hiring a coachman, nor did she intend to ride in the same carriage as Xu Lin.

Xu Lin is a man, so it's inconvenient to ride in the same car with him.

“Mr. Nian Duan.” “You go to the back, I’ll drive.”

Xu Lin strode towards Nian Duan and spoke.

In his view, there was no need for two carriages for just two and a half people.

Little Duanmu Rong is still young, so Xu Lin considers her 'half a person'.

"No."

Nian Duan refused immediately.

"Why?"

Xu Lin frowned slightly.

"Men and women are different. Rong'er is still young, and it is inconvenient for her to travel in a carriage. So I hope you will understand."

Nian explained with a serious expression.

Xu Lin smiled when he heard this and agreed happily.

"benefactor."

"I will go with you!"

Upon seeing this, Yan Lingji, whose hair reached her waist, volunteered.

Without waiting for Xu Lin's reply, she went to prepare the carriage.

Yan Lingji is the complete opposite of Nian Duan. Nian Duan dislikes going out, while Yan Lingji loves going out.

"it is good."

Seeing that Yan Lingji really wanted to go, Xu Lin agreed.

Then he slowly walked towards Jingni, Liji, and Liwu.

"Although the two places in Sichuan and Chongqing are not too far from Xianyang, it will probably take more than half a month before I can return."

"Please be careful while I'm away!"

Xu Lin solemnly instructed.

"We will!"

Jingni, Liji, and Liwu nodded in unison.

Xu Lin looked satisfied and then took a car to Sichuan and Chongqing.

It is said that malaria is more severe in Ba County, so Xu Lin plans to go to Jiangzhou, the capital of Ba County, first.

Yan Lingji brought several changes of clothes, including robes, long skirts, and nightgowns. Anyone who didn't know better would think that Yan Lingji was going on a sightseeing trip!

……

the other side.

Xianyang, Zhangtai Palace.

Ying Zheng had just finished reviewing the memorials.

"Still no news from Sichuan and Chongqing?"

Ying Zheng raised his eyes to look at Zhao Gao, his face ashen as he asked.

"The Prefect of Shu Commandery sent a letter a few hours ago."

"Your Majesty was reviewing memorials at the time, so this humble servant did not dare to disturb you."

Zhao Gao said respectfully.

After speaking, he bowed and stepped forward, handing the letter from the Prefect of Shu Commandery to Ying Zheng with both hands.

Ying Zheng took the letter and stared intently at its contents.

The governor of Shu Commandery said in his letter that there were two reasons why he only reported it today.

First, malaria in Shu County was not very serious and had been basically brought under control.

Secondly, the king is very busy with state affairs, and he does not want the king to worry about this matter.

After reading it, Ying Zheng gave the letter to Zhao Gao.

Is what he said in his letter true?

Ying Zheng stood with his hands behind his back, asking expressionlessly.
