Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 137 Xu Lin Arrives in Xinzheng, South Korea
"tomorrow."

Xu Lin answered.

"Although South Korea is weak, it is still a foreign country. Sir, you should be careful."

Ying Zheng said seriously.

Xu Lin nodded, and then left Zhangtai Palace with Nian Duan.

"Thank you sir."

After leaving Zhangtai Palace, Nian Duan bowed respectfully.

"Thank me for what?"

Xu Lin frowned slightly.

"If it weren't for your help, sir, would the king have ordered the strict enforcement of the marriage policy for women?"

"What you've done saves at least a hundred girls every year!"

Nian Duan explained.

In this era of male chauvinism, most men treat women as mere clothing. Men like Xu Lin who respect women are extremely rare!
"You shouldn't thank me for this."

"You should thank me."

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have noticed!"

Xu Lin said loudly.

Then he sent Nian Duan back first, as he had other things to do.

……

After half a stick of incense.

Xu Lin arrived at Ganquan Palace and met Zhao Ji.

"I thought you weren't coming tonight!"

Zhao Ji lifted the curtain with her hand, feigning displeasure.

Upon hearing this, Hongzao immediately dismissed everyone around her, and then she herself withdrew as well.

"After tomorrow's farewell, who knows how long it will be before we meet again? How could I not come?"

Xu Lin stepped forward slowly and smiled calmly.

How long are you planning to stay in South Korea?

Zhao Ji, lying on her side on the phoenix couch, asked with her phoenix eyes narrowed.

"It can take anywhere from six months to a year."

Xu Lin answered while thinking.

As soon as he finished speaking, he lifted the red curtain and sat down on the phoenix couch.

"Up to a year?"

"It won't be too long."

Zhao Ji frowned slightly, thinking to herself.

Since Xu Lin wasn't in Xianyang, she could do it herself.

Moreover, Zhao Ji has recently taken a liking to "rain after a long drought"!
The longer you endure, the more comfortable you will feel when your wish is fulfilled, just like drawing a bow to its fullest extent before shooting an arrow.

"Has the Empress Dowager tried that route recently?"

Xu Lin asked.

"How can I test this alone?"

Zhao Ji's fair, jade-like legs were pressed tightly together.

Why can't one person try?

Xu Lin asked.

How can one person try it?

Zhao Ji's phoenix eyes were filled with anger.

Then she tied up her long, silky hair.

"Didn't I teach the Empress Dowager last time?"

Xu Lin frowned.

After he finished speaking, he boiled a kettle of water.

"I have already taken a bath."

Seeing this, Zhao Ji said sullenly.

She had been waiting for Xu Lin for more than half an hour!
"Is the Empress Dowager afraid of pain?"

Xu Lin asked calmly.

He wasn't someone who didn't know how to cherish women, but everything is difficult at the beginning.

"I'm not even afraid of death, why would I be afraid of pain?"

"More than a decade ago in Handan, the capital of Zhao, I nearly lost my life several times..."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ji's phoenix eyes sharpened, and she immediately retorted defiantly.

Before she could finish speaking, Xu Lin interrupted her with his hand.

"It seems I underestimated the Empress Dowager."

Xu Lin smiled and said.

……

Less than half an hour later.

Zhao Ji gritted her teeth, and Xu Lin got what he wanted.

"Be careful after you arrive in South Korea."

"In Qin, I can protect you, but in Han, I cannot!"

Zhao Ji's brows relaxed, and she spoke.

At this moment, she resembled Xu Lin's elder.

"South Korea has countless good-for-nothings; do you think they can hurt me?"

Xu Lin chuckled.

It's not that he looks down on South Korea, but South Korea really is terrible!

"The land of gentle pleasures can also be the graveyard of heroes."

"I'm afraid you'll die on a woman's belly!"

Zhao Ji glared at Xu Lin.

"To die on a woman's belly?"

"Your Majesty is overthinking it."

"Unless all Korean beauties are as powerful as the Empress Dowager, they will be the ones who exhaust me."

Xu Lin teased.

"???"

"How dare you joke with me?" "I am the mother of the nation, do you intend to rebel?"

Zhao Ji pretended to be angry.

Before Xu Lin could respond, she launched her counterattack.

……

Less than half an hour later.

Xu Lin was at a disadvantage, but Zhao Ji not only did not stop, she also chose to press her advantage.

……

More than half an hour later.

Xu Lin suffered a crushing defeat, but Zhao Ji feigned composure.

"Queen Mother."

"Although Mi Ling and Chang Wenjun are dead, we must not let our guard down at Huayang Palace."

"Lord Changping and Empress Dowager Huayang are both shrewd strategists. After I leave Xianyang, I entrust Jingni, Liji, Nianduan, and the others to the Empress Dowager!"

Xu Lin turned to the side with difficulty, looked at Zhao Ji, whose jade-like neck and hair were covered in sweat, and spoke.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ji, who was nearing her limit, flashed a hint of displeasure in her phoenix eyes.

Am I your principal wife?

"it is good!"

After a few breaths, Zhao Ji saw that Xu Lin was weak and powerless, and completely gave in, so she nodded.

Who told her to admire Xu Lin?

……

The next day.

Clear skies.

After having breakfast, Xu Lin began packing his luggage.

I'll be away in South Korea for at least six months, so I have a lot of things to bring.

……

at the same time.

Xianyang, Zhangtai Palace.

Ying Zheng was about to go to the Xu residence, but was stopped by Gai Nie.

"Kings."

"Mr. Xu dislikes being high-profile, therefore, I think it would be best if you did not go."

Gai Nie said solemnly.

"I also know that Mr. Xu prefers to keep a low profile."

"How about this, I'll dress in plain clothes and watch them from the shadows? Is that alright?"

Ying Zheng said as he thought.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Gai Nie nodded.

Then they went to prepare the carriage.

No need to prepare a car.

"I will walk there."

Ying Zheng waved his sleeve and said.

Taking a carriage would be too noisy; the Xu residence is not far from Zhangtai Palace, and it wouldn't take long to walk there.

……

After a stick of incense.

Ying Zheng, dressed in a white robe, arrived outside the Xu residence and watched Xu Lin leave Xianyang.

Xu Lin and Yan Lingji drove together, chatting and laughing, and seemed to be in a good mood.

After Xu Lin disappeared from sight, Ying Zheng put his hands behind his back and began to stroll around Xianyang City.

Xu Lin once said that reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. Although Ying Zheng did not completely agree with this, he felt that there was some truth to it.

Although the academy was not yet completed, many scholars from the six states of Shandong had already arrived in Xianyang.

Although it rained a few days ago, many people in the suburbs are still using high-speed water pumps to fetch water.

Many businesses in the city have replaced their bamboo windows with paper windows.

All of the above are related to Xu Lin, which made Ying Zheng, who was eager to find talented people, like Xu Lin even more!

When the world is unified in the future, even if Xu Lin is unwilling, he will still promote Xu Lin to the position of Grand Preceptor and then send the Korean princess Honglian and other beauties to Xu Lin!

……

Ten days later.

Xu Lin arrived in Xinzheng, South Korea, and met Li Wu.

"how?"

"Any new developments in South Korea lately?"

While directing Yan Lingji to move things into the room, Xu Lin asked Li Wu a question.

"Recently, things have been about the same as before."

"It seems that Ninth Young Master Han Fei wants to cooperate with Zi Lan Xuan. He has been frequently visiting Zi Lan Xuan recently."

"Zilan Pavilion seems to be more than just a place of pleasure. There is a young man in Zilan Pavilion with very high cultivation, no less than the concubine. He seems to be from Guigu."

"..."

Li Wu rolled up her sleeves and answered while helping to move things.

Xu Lin nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this.

Then he took the things from Li Wu's arms and placed them in the study.

When Yan Lingji saw that Xu Lin only accepted the things from Li Wu's arms, she was immediately displeased, but dared not speak out.

Xu Lin clearly did it on purpose!

"Are you jealous?"

Seeing that Yan Lingji's displeasure was written all over her pretty face, Xu Lin asked with a smile.

"My sister won't be jealous!"

Yan Lingji immediately denied it.

Then he glared at Xu Lin and threw the bamboo basket containing Xu Lin's clothes on the ground.

"let me help you."

Seeing this, Li Wu, dressed in a long purple dress, took the things from Yan Lingji's arms and swayed her hips as she walked towards the study.

A harmonious family brings prosperity; she didn't want to see Yan Lingji and Xu Lin arguing!
