Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 104 Yan Lingji teases Xu Lin?
After a stick of incense.

Lord Yangquan returned to his residence humming a little tune.

Mi Fang, pacing back and forth in the study, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Lord Yangquan was in a good mood.

Clearly, Empress Dowager Huayang had provided a solution, otherwise Lord Yangquan would not have been so happy!

"My Lord".

"What did the Empress Dowager say?"

Mi Fang asked respectfully.

He was bowing and his attitude was very humble, a stark contrast to his usual demeanor in Bavaria!

"The Empress Dowager said that the King is keeping a close eye on this matter, and it would be difficult for the Prefect to handle it."

"However, becoming a county magistrate is not difficult."

"Although the county magistrate is not a high-ranking official, he can be promoted later."

Yangquan Jun replied.

"The county magistrate?"

“A county magistrate will also do.”

"Did the Empress Dowager specify which county?"

"Some large counties are not much worse than Ba ​​County!"

Mi Fang rubbed her hands together and asked.

Upon hearing this, Lord Yangquan glared at Mi Fang with annoyance.

"Is now the time to discuss which county?"

"Your most urgent task is to find a way to get the king to treat you leniently!"

"Otherwise, even I and the Empress Dowager cannot save you!"

Lord Yangquan reprimanded him.

"Yes."

"Your Excellency is right."

"I will go back and write a letter to the King, and then cooperate well with Zhang Han and the others."

Mi Fang immediately accepted the order.

Then he turned and left the Yangquan Jun residence.

Although Lord Yangquan only made a verbal promise, he was not afraid.

Because he has been sending a lot of money to Lord Yangquan in recent months, if Lord Yangquan dares to break his promise, he will expose Lord Yangquan!
……

Three days later.

Mi Fang returned to Jiangzhou, the capital of Ba Commandery.

Upon arriving home, he immediately wrote a letter to Ying Zheng, explaining that he was not withholding information but rather did not wish to cause trouble for the king.

……

at the same time.

Xu Lin, Nian Duan, and others also arrived in Jiangzhou.

Thanks to the treatment provided by Xia Wuqie and others, the malaria situation in Jiangzhou has basically stabilized, and the number of deaths per day has stopped increasing.

"If I'm not mistaken, you must be Mr. Xia Wuqie?"

Upon seeing Xia Wuqie, who was treating the people with a face mask wrapped around his neck, Xu Lin strode forward and asked.

Xia Wuqie was taken aback upon hearing this, then turned to look at Xu Lin.

"Mr. Xu?"

"What brings you here too?"

Xia Wuqie could not hide his surprise.

He had seen Xu Lin's portrait before, so he recognized Xu Lin at a glance.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Xia Wuqie explained the situation to Xu Lin, Nian Duan, and the others.

It was said that malaria broke out in Sichuan and Chongqing, but in fact the most serious case was Jiangzhou, the capital of Ba Commandery, while the other counties were not so bad!

With the help of Zhang Han and others, the other counties in Shu Commandery and Ba Commandery have been brought under control.

Xu Lin nodded after listening, then looked at Nian Duan.

Whether artemisinin extracted using ancient methods is effective depends on this test.

Feeling Xu Lin's gaze upon her, Nian Duan took out artemisinin extracted at low temperature from the medicine box and began the experiment.

……

The next day.

Artemisinin extracted at low temperatures by Nian Duan has successfully restored normal breathing to several critically ill patients.

This startled Nian Duan, Xia Wuqie, Yan Lingji, and the others.

Artemisinin actually works? And the effects are so obvious?
"Mr. Nian Duan truly deserves to be called the Sage of Medicine!"

"I am ashamed of myself..."

Xia Wuqie praised it highly.

He was interrupted by Nian Duan before he could finish speaking.

"Mr. Xia, you misunderstand. This is not my invention."

"It's Mr. Xu, I just..."

Nian Duan quickly explained.

She was interrupted by Xu Lin before she could finish her sentence.

"Mr. Nian Duan, there's no need for such modesty."

"I'm just offering a suggestion."

Xu Linchao gave Nian Duan a wink.

A tree that stands out in the forest will surely be felled by the wind; he did not want to become famous for this!

After receiving a signal with his eyes, Nian Duan hesitated before speaking.

This was the first time she had ever met someone like Xu Lin!
Everyone else is eager to make a name for themselves, but Xu Lin is very averse to it, which is really strange!
Xu Lin's unconventional personality and exceptional talent earned him Nian Duan's admiration.

Since she could remember, Nian Duan had never been admired by a man like this.

Even the little girl Duanmu Rong was no exception, and she admired Xu Lin even more because of this!
After chatting for a while, Nian Duan told Xia Wuqie and others about the method of low-temperature extraction of Artemisia annua.

Upon seeing this scene, Yan Lingji, who was not far away, crossed her arms, making her chest appear even more impressive.

The scene before her reminded her of the Baiyue region.

Malaria outbreaks frequently occur in Baiyue, and almost every one of them is more severe than the one in Jiangzhou this time!

If the method of low-temperature extraction of Artemisia annua could be introduced to the Baiyue region, many people in Baiyue could be saved from death.

But she doesn't want to work on it.

Because she was very disappointed in Baiyue!
Several years ago, before she joined the Baiyue assassin group, she was regarded as an ominous sign by many Baiyue people, and some even set fire to her house to try to burn her alive.

She wasn't home that night. When she got home, her house was in ruins, and her brother had disappeared.

She wasn't sure if her brother had been burned to death or had simply gone missing.

After confirming that it was someone from the same village who started the fire, Yan Lingji was furious and set the entire village on fire.

Since then, she has been wanted by the Baiyue government.

She was not yet fifteen years old that year. She felt that the fault did not lie with her, but with the villagers who started the fight. However, the Baiyue government did not listen to any of this. If Tianze had not stood up for her, she would probably still be in the Baiyue prison now.

Therefore, she felt only hatred towards the Baiyue.

She disliked neither the villagers nor the government of Baiyue!
Thinking of this, Yan Lingji brought her long, fair legs together and looked towards South Korea.

As far as she knew, Tianze was being held in a secret cell in Xinzheng, South Korea.

It's true that Tianze saved her once, but she also did a lot for Tianze in the past few years, helping him kill people, recruiting extraordinary talents, and fighting desperately against the Han-Chu allied forces. So she doesn't owe Tianze anything now.

After becoming friends with Xu Lin, she became somewhat reluctant to work for Tianze anymore.

Xu Lin was gentle and refined, and highly learned. Living with Xu Lin made her feel very comfortable.

She was not a person who enjoyed killing; living a life of constant danger and homelessness was not what she desired.

"What are you thinking?"

"Did the Baiyue region also frequently experience outbreaks of malaria?"

Xu Lin walked slowly towards Yan Lingji, inhaling her fragrance, and asked with a smile.

"Could my benefactor possibly have mind-reading abilities?"

"How come my benefactor can always guess what my sister is thinking?"

Yan Lingji chuckled twice, her alluring smile turning into a question.

After speaking, she tossed her cascading hair, letting it slap against Xu Lin's face in the wind.

Xu Lin always liked to stand very close to him. She wasn't used to it at first, but now she's gotten used to it.

Although Xu Lin was lecherous, in Yan Lingji's eyes, he was a man with lustful thoughts but no courage to act on them. So even if the two of them stood next to each other, she was not afraid that Xu Lin would take the opportunity to touch her inappropriately!

Yan Lingji is not Jing Ni. If Xu Lin dares to 'ambush' her, she will retaliate and let Xu Lin know how powerful she is!
"The Baiyue region was frequently plagued by malaria outbreaks."

"But what does this have to do with my sister?"

"Several years ago, my sister had no connection with Baiyue anymore."

Yan Lingji turned to look at Baiyue, adding with a charming smile.

"My benefactor, how did you come up with the idea of ​​using Artemisia annua to treat malaria?"

"Why didn't you think of that, sister?"

Yan Lingji looked into Xu Lin's eyes and deliberately put her fair wrist on Xu Lin's shoulder.

Although she had no experience with men and women, she loved to joke with men, especially a handsome and exceptionally talented man like Xu Lin!
