Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 119 Monitoring Lord Changwen and Lord Yangquan, Mi Ling

"Sir, you are truly generous."

“I don’t need that much money. If you insist on giving it to me, sir, I’ll take one hundred gold coins.”

Yan Fei said.

After she finished speaking, she picked up a small wooden box.

"It's getting late, so I won't disturb your rest any longer, sir."

Yanfei continued.

Then he turned and left the Xu residence.

After Yanfei walked away, Xu Lin drank the cold tea in his bowl in one gulp and looked at Mi Huan's confession again.

I will not attack unless attacked; if attacked, I will retaliate!
He didn't originally intend to kill Mi Ling.

This confession alone is not enough to take the lives of Mi Ling and Chang Wenjun.

In Xu Lin's view, either don't take action, or if you do, you must nip it in the bud!

If it weren't for Empress Dowager Huayang's intercession, Mi Ling would have already died.

After pondering for a long time, Xu Lin asked Li Wu to bring Lao Ren over.

Before long, the Shadow Guard assassin Lao Ren arrived in front of Xu Lin.

"grown ups!"

Old Ren bowed deeply.

Xu Lin waved his hand to indicate to Lao Ren that there was no need for formalities, and then handed Lao Ren Mi Huan's confession.

"grown ups."

"Lord Changwen and Mi Ling have gone too far! Your subordinate will take men immediately..."

After reading it, Lao Ren was furious and volunteered to take on the task.

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xu Lin.

"Don't be angry, anger will make you lose your mind."

"What they did was heinous, but not deserving of death."

"Therefore, it is not advisable to alert the enemy now."

Xu Lin said seriously.

"so."

"Take men and secretly monitor Changwenjun and Miling."

"The two of them are unlikely to give up so easily."

Xu Lin commanded in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

Without hesitation, Lao Ren accepted the order.

……

the other side.

The border between Qin and Wei.

Bai Yousi took the lead and led his troops to capture three counties in Wei in succession.

After Ying Zheng married Princess Mi Yu of Chu, the Qin army continued to attack the states of Han and Wei, but these were all small-scale battles, so not many people paid attention to this matter.

"General."

Should we press our advantage and press the attack?

Seeing the Wei army in a state of panic, like stray dogs, the centurion, still burning with fighting spirit, asked...

In the Qin state, military merit was rewarded with titles; which soldier wouldn't want to accumulate more military achievements?
"That's it for today."

"Hurry is not enough."

Seeing that the soldiers were exhausted, Bai Yousi, dressed in light armor, said solemnly.

It is true that the Qin army was in high spirits, but soldiers are human and need rest.

If we force our way forward and fall into an ambush by the Wei army, all our efforts will be in vain!

"Yes!"

The centurion immediately accepted the order.

His heart was pounding, and his brother beside him was even more exhausted. If they forced a counterattack, it would be very risky!
……

Half an hour later.

After inspecting the camp, Bai Yousi returned to the main tent.

She was extremely strict in disciplining her troops, and ordered that no one was allowed to burn, kill, rape, or plunder. If anyone was found to have done so, they would be executed without mercy!
To prevent her soldiers from taking advantage of the people of Wei, she ordered them to camp outside the city.

Although Bai Yousi's military skills were not as good as Bai Qi's, they were better than most generals.

"My Lord".

"Once the battle report reaches Xianyang, shouldn't the King promote you to Left Chancellor?"

Ling'er, dressed in soft armor, said as she washed Bai Yousi's hair.

She didn't want to join the army, but she was the steward of the Wu'an Jun Mansion. Bai Yousi had already joined the army, so what was she doing staying in the Wu'an Jun Mansion alone?
"Maybe."

Bai Yousi replied.

She had little interest in being promoted or receiving higher official titles.

She only wanted to fulfill her father Bai Qi's long-cherished wish: to help Qin unify the world!
"How long has it been since you washed your hair?"

After washing his hair, Bai Yousi looked at Ling'er and asked in a deep voice.

Six days?

Eight days?

"I can't remember exactly, but it definitely wasn't ten days."

Ling'er answered while thinking.

"There's still hot water in the kettle, why don't you wash up too?" Bai Yousi said.

"The remaining hot water in the kettle is for you, my lord, to soak your feet."

"I will..."

Ling'er said.

She was interrupted by Bai Yousi before she could finish her sentence.

"This is an order!"

Bai Yousi, with a long sword hanging at his waist, put on a stern face.

"promise!"

Upon seeing this, Ling'er immediately accepted the order.

Then untied the burlap and poured the hot water from the kettle into the basin.

Because I was wearing soft nail polish, washing my hair was very inconvenient.

"let me help you!"

Seeing that Ling'er was having difficulty washing her hair by herself, Bai Yousi spoke up.

"Need not."

"How could I possibly refuse Your Majesty..."

Ling'er immediately refused.

But before she could finish speaking, Bai Yousi interrupted her again.

"Am I discussing this with you?"

Bai Yousi pretended to be angry.

After witnessing this scene, Ling'er hesitated to speak.

Bai Yousi insisted on washing her hair; could she refuse?

……

Half an hour later.

"how?"

"You still want me to dry your hair?"

After washing, Bai Yousi saw that Ling'er was still standing there motionless, and teased her.

"My subordinates dare not!"

Ling'er quickly denied it.

Then he took the towel that Bai Yousi threw to him with both hands and began to dry his hair.

After wiping, she followed Bai Yousi closely to the riverbank.

You can't sleep right after washing your hair because it's very long and you can't dry it just by rubbing it.

"When will my Great Qin be able to unify the world?"

Bai Yousi stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the bright moon and sighing.

The evening breeze blew, making her hair look like a willow branch by the river.

"The Great Qin has Lord Jun, Mr. Xu, and the King."

"I believe that in at most ten years, my Great Qin will be able to unify the world!"

Ling'er said.

"I hope so."

Bai Yousi nodded.

After speaking, she looked intently at the Xu residence with her beautiful eyes.

If it weren't for Xu Lin, would she have had the opportunity to lead her army to attack the city?
She already owes Xu Lin two favors and doesn't know how to repay him.

"It is said that Mr. Xu, like most men, also likes beautiful women."

"What do you say, after we conquer Wei, we'll find two beautiful women from Wei and send them to you?"

Bai Yousi shifted her gaze towards the Wei Kingdom, her beautiful features asking.

"The beauties in Mr. Xu's mansion are all stunningly beautiful; ordinary women would hardly catch his eye."

After a few breaths, Bai Yousi sighed.

There are rules to giving gifts. If you give a gift that the recipient doesn't appreciate, it's better not to give it at all!
"My Lord".

"I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should."

Seeing this, Ling'er tentatively asked in a low voice.

"speak."

Bai Yousi nodded.

"My lord, you and Mr. Xu are of similar age. Mr. Xu is skilled in both literature and martial arts, while you, my lord, are well-versed in the art of war."

"Your Excellency, you and Mr. Xu are a perfect match, a match made in heaven..."

Ling'er said respectfully.

He was interrupted by Bai Yousi before he could finish speaking.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Bai Yousi glared at him and scolded him.

Before fulfilling Bai Qi's long-cherished wish and helping the Qin Dynasty unify the world, she did not want to get married!

Xu Lin is a man of extraordinary talent. At such a young age, he has already become the deputy commander of the Shadow Guard. I believe that it will not be long before Xu Lin becomes the national advisor.

Would Xu Lin be interested in her?
She was quite good at using troops, but there were many brilliant strategists in the army, such as Wang Jian.

She has a pretty good figure, but compared to Jing Ni, she might not be able to win!

Thinking of this, Bai Yousi looked down at her chest, then looked up at the Xu residence again.

The matter of repaying Xu Lin can wait until after the Qin Dynasty unifies the world. If Xu Lin is willing to marry her then, and she also admires Xu Lin, then... then we'll talk about it then!
