Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 111 Yan Lingji's pretty face gradually blushed

In fact, Bai Yousi had arrived in Xianyang a few days ago. At that time, Xu Lin went to Ba County, so she had to stay in Xianyang first.

This is her first time visiting Xianyang.

She had thought that Xianyang would be heavily guarded and that she would have to be careful with her words, but when she arrived in Xianyang, she found that it was completely different from what she had imagined!
Xianyang is a prosperous and inclusive city, with merchants from all over the world, including those from Han and Wei, as well as the Baiyue people. She even met a few Xiongnu people a few days ago.

Xu Lin's study was large, but it didn't have many books.

Just as Bai You was thinking about what books Xu Lin usually read, a faint sound of footsteps came from outside the door.

Bai Yousi stopped immediately upon hearing the sound and turned to look at the door.

What came into view was a handsome young man who looked gentle and refined.

She had heard that Xu Lin was handsome before she came, but she didn't expect him to be this handsome!
"I wonder who you are?"

Xu Lin approached Bai Yousi unhurriedly and asked, puzzled.

"My surname is Bai, and my given name is Yousi."

"I'm from Mei County. My father fought in the Battle of Changping..."

Bai Yousi, dressed in a milky-white robe, introduced herself.

He spoke with neither arrogance nor servility, displaying the demeanor of a great general, befitting the daughter of Lord Wu'an, Bai Qi.

But before she could finish speaking, Xu Lin interrupted her.

"Are you the daughter of Lord Wu'an, Bai Qi?"

"I've heard so much about him, and today I finally get to meet him!"

Xu Lin said loudly.

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and pointed to the table, gesturing for Bai Yousi to sit down and talk.

Bai Yousi readily agreed, lifted his long robe, and knelt down opposite Xu Lin.

Her hair wasn't very long, but it was like silk, tied in a high ponytail, making her look incredibly dashing.

Bai Yousi's heroic spirit is different from Li Ji's. Li Ji is more like a female knight-errant or swordswoman, while Bai Yousi is more like a female general.

"I wonder what brings Miss Bai to Xianyang all of a sudden?"

Xu Lin asked casually.

After he finished speaking, he personally poured Bai Yousi a bowl of boiled water.

"Thank you."

Bai Yousi was startled upon seeing this, and then said.

Xu Lin is the deputy commander of the Shadow Guard. Although she inherited the title of Lord Wu'an, she has no real power and is a woman, so she is no match for Xu Lin.

In this patriarchal era, how many men of high rank and power would personally pour tea for women like Xu Lin?

Therefore, Xu Lin's actions made Bai Yousi feel flattered and surprised!
"I've come to thank you, sir."

Bai Yousi said solemnly.

Although she was dressed conservatively and her robe was not tight, it was still clear that Bai Yousi had a great figure.

"Thank me?"

Xu Lin frowned slightly.

"Correct!"

"If it weren't for you, sir, I don't know when my father would have been exonerated."

Bai Yousi nodded vigorously.

After saying that, she took out a stack of rough paper from her bosom.

The draft paper was covered with writing, handwritten by Bai Yousi. It contained Bai Qi's views on military strategy.

"It's just a little effort."

"Miss Bai doesn't need to come to Xianyang in person to express her gratitude."

Xu Lin smiled modestly.

"This is?"

Xu Lin took a big gulp of tea and looked at the scrap paper in Bai Yousi's hand, asking a question.

"These are some of my father's views on military strategy."

"There's nothing of value in the house, so I..."

Bai Yousi explained.

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

"We're all from Qin, why be so formal?"

“A few months ago, I suggested that Lord Wu’an be exonerated for two reasons.”

"First, the matter concerning your father in his later years was indeed not your father's fault."

"Secondly, Lord Wu'an has never been defeated in his life, and I have long admired him!"

Xu Lin said in a deep voice.

After speaking, he took the scrap paper that Bai Yousi handed him and stared intently at the contents of the paper.

Bai Yousi's handwriting is beautiful, and the content on the draft paper is truly exquisite.

Although Xu Lin had never led troops into battle, he had read "The Art of War" and "Wei Liao Zi," and much of the content written on the scraps of paper coincided with that in "Wei Liao Zi"! "These were all left behind by your late father?"

After reading it, Xu Lin asked.

"kindness."

"There are more at home; this is just a part of it."

Bai Yousi nodded.

"Industry specializing in surgery."

“Leading troops into battle is not my forte; you should give it directly to the king.”

Xu Lin suggested with a smile.

“I originally intended to give it directly to the King, but sir, your great kindness is beyond my ability to repay, so…”

Bai Yousi answered truthfully.

Although she was also a woman, she was different from Zhao Ji, who was a timid woman; she liked to speak her mind.

She gave Bai Qi's military strategy to Xu Lin. After Xu Lin gave it to Ying Zheng, would Ying Zheng reward Xu Lin handsomely?
"Do you practice swordsmanship often?"

Xu Lin nodded and looked toward Bai Yousi's right hand in the direction of the voice.

She has a callus on the inside of her right thumb. Although it's not serious, it's clearly from frequent sword practice, because it looks a lot like Li Ji's!

"Yes."

Bai Yousi looked in the direction Xu Linwang was pointing and looked at his right hand, nodding slightly.

"Have you ever thought about leading troops into battle, just like your father?"

Xu Lin asked with a serious expression.

His intuition told him that Bai Yousi was very suitable to be a female general!

"Have."

"But I applied several times, and I was rejected each time."

Bai Yousi made no attempt to hide anything.

When she signed up for the army a few years ago, Bai Qi had not yet been exonerated, and she was a woman, so who would dare to agree to it?
Do you still want to?

Xu Lin asked.

"kindness!"

Bai Yousi nodded firmly.

She wanted to carry on her father Bai Qi's legacy and help Qin unify the world!
"it is good."

"As expected of the daughter of Lord Wu'an!"

"I'll take care of your enlistment."

Keep these; you might need them later!

Xu Lin said loudly.

After speaking, he returned the stack of draft paper to Bai Yousi, suddenly stood up, and patted Bai Yousi's shoulder forcefully.

Then, in front of Bai Yousi, he wrote a letter to Ying Zheng, recommending Bai Yousi.

"Thank you sir!"

"I am so grateful for your kindness, sir..."

Bai Yousi's beautiful eyes trembled upon hearing this.

She came to repay Xu Lin, but who would have thought that not only did Xu Lin not want the military strategy left by Bai Qi, he also helped her write a letter to Ying Zheng. Now she owes Xu Lin two favors!
Bai Yousi wasn't one to like owing favors, but she really didn't have a good way to repay them in the short term!
"Go back to Mei County and prepare well."

"If things go smoothly, someone should come looking for you in about two weeks."

"As the daughter of Lord Wu'an, you must not embarrass your father."

Xu Lin gently stroked Bai Yousi's nape and said softly.

"Don't worry, sir!"

"I will never bring shame to my father and husband!"

Bai Yousi patted his heavy chest and assured him.

Upon hearing this, Xu Lin's eyes revealed a look of satisfaction.

Then they sent Bai Yousi back.

He was not only a womanizer, but also a lover of talent.

He wasn't just interested in women; he was like a bulldozer, ready to sleep with any woman he saw.

Although Bai Yousi is only in her early twenties, she already has the demeanor of a great general in her every move. She is clearly a talented general, and it would be a real pity not to let her join the army!
Watching Bai Yousi's figure gradually disappear into the distance, Yan Lingji, who was sitting on the rooftop, frowned deeply.

Xu Lin just let Bai Yousi leave like that?
Bai Yousi has a great figure and a good temperament, so why didn't Xu Lin let her stay?

She really couldn't understand Xu Lin anymore!

You say Xu Lin is a womanizer? Xu Lin just now didn't hesitate at all and wrote a letter to Ying Zheng, recommending Bai Yousi.

You say Xu Lin isn't lecherous? A few days ago on the way back to Xianyang, Xu Lin insisted on resting his head on her legs. And the time before last, in the study, when he was telling Cherry a story, Xu Lin's hands were all over the place, making Jing Ni very uncomfortable!
Thinking of Xu Lin's 'sneak attack' on Jing Ni, Yan Ling Ji's pretty face gradually turned red, and she glared fiercely at Xu Lin.

She keeps thinking about what happened that day and often puts herself in Jing Ni's shoes!
