Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 161 Drunken Pillow, Flame Spirit's Jade Legs

Zhang Liang shook his head, indicating that he did not know.

"His true intentions are clear at a glance."

Han Fei squinted his peach blossom eyes and said.

After speaking, he drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.

That evening, Han Fei and Zhang Liang went to the Xu residence together.

Xu Lin was currently resting his head on Yan Lingji's jade legs, enjoying Yan Lingji's massage.

Boom boom boom!
Zhang Liang knocked hard on the wooden door.

Upon hearing this, Xu Lin's brows furrowed slightly, and he then gave Yan Lingji a wink.

After receiving a signal with her eyes, Yan Lingji immediately helped Xu Lin up, changed him into a long robe, and quickly walked towards the door.

Squeak!

The door opened with a click!

Han Fei, wearing a purple robe, and Zhang Liang, wearing a cyan robe, came into view.

"Excuse me, does Mr. Xu Zhengchun live here?"

Zhang Liang stepped forward and asked.

"Yes."

"You are?"

Yan Lingji nodded, then began to examine Han Fei and Zhang Liang.

"My surname is Zhang, and my given name is Liang."

"This is the Ninth Young Master!"

Zhang Liang introduced himself with neither arrogance nor servility.

"Ninth Young Master?"

"Please wait!"

Yan Lingji frowned slightly.

Then he turned around and went back to his study.

"benefactor."

Two people requested an audience.

"One person claims to be Zhang Liang, while the other says he is the Ninth Prince!"

Yan Lingji told the truth.

Xu Lin, who was lying on his side on the soft couch, was startled by what he heard.

Zhang Liang and Han Fei?
What are they doing here all of a sudden?
After a moment's hesitation, he sent Yan Lingji back to her bedroom.

Han Fei saw through everything. Yan Lingji could fool Nongyu and the others by disguising herself as a man, but how easy would it be to fool Han Fei?
After Yan Lingji walked away, Xu Lin put his hands behind his back and walked slowly toward the gate.

"Ninth Young Master, I've long admired you!"

Upon seeing Han Fei, Xu Lin bowed respectfully.

"Mr. Xu, I've heard so much about you!"

Han Fei immediately returned the greeting.

"If I'm not mistaken, this must be Zhang Liang's beloved grandson, Mr. Zifang?"

Xu Lin looked at Zhang Liang.

"Yes."

"Liang has long admired Mr. Xu!"

Zhang Liang bowed respectfully.

Xu Lin waved his hand to indicate to Zhang Liang that there was no need for formalities, and then led Han Fei and Zhang Liang to the study.

"As far as I know, Brother Han studied under the great Confucian scholar Xunzi."

"You're usually so busy, what brings you to my humble abode today?"

After taking his seat, Xu Lin asked curiously.

"I'm not busy lately."

"He's not the crown prince, what's there to be busy about?"

Han Fei smiled.

Then he picked up the wine pot and personally poured a cup of wine for Xu Lin.

As the saying goes, a friend of a friend is also a friend.

"Brother Xu and I are both good friends of Miss Zi Nu. I have often heard Miss Zi Nu mention you, Brother Xu. Today I am finally able to meet you!"

Han Fei continued.

After he finished speaking, he clinked wine glasses with Xu Lin.

After hearing this, Xu Lin nodded thoughtfully.

It turns out that Han Fei came because of Zi Nu!

Isn't Zi Nu's mouth always very tight?
How could Han Fei know that Zi Nu hadn't joined Quicksand because she listened to his advice?

It seems there really are no secrets that stay hidden forever!

"Who was that who opened the door just now?"

After more than ten breaths, Han Fei asked, puzzled.

"My third brother."

Xu Lin answered.

"When it comes to drinking, the more people the better. Why don't we invite him to join us?"

Han Fei asked with a smile.

His intuition told him that the person he had just met was not Xu Lin's third brother, because the person did not look like Xu Lin at all!

Not only that, he also felt that the person was a woman dressed as a man!
He doesn't like drinking.

"And I like to go to bed early."

Xu Lin looked towards Yan Lingji's bedroom and answered as he thought.

"Brother Han insists that my third brother also come to drink. Could it be that he has homosexual tendencies?"

Seeing that Han Fei still wanted to persuade him, Xu Lin said with a half-smile.

"Brother Xu, you've misunderstood!"

"Not a self-punishment of drinking three cups!"

Han Fei waved his hand repeatedly.

……

After three drinks.

Slightly tipsy, Han Fei shifted the topic to Liu Yi.

"Brother Xu, have you heard about Liu Yi's murder?"

Han Fei feigned a nonchalant attitude and asked.

He is a person who likes to 'hide his talents'.

"of course."

"This matter has already spread throughout Xinzheng, who doesn't know it?" Xu Lin asked with a smile.

What is your opinion on this, Brother Xu?

Han Fei pressed for an answer.

"Not much."

"Liu Yi used to bully men and women. Wouldn't his killing be a good thing for both South Korea and its people?"

Xu Lin shrugged.

"It's a good thing."

"But there's something strange about this."

Han Fei said seriously.

"What's weird?"

Xu Lin asked, feigning curiosity.

Han Fei remained silent upon hearing this and looked at Zhang Liang.

After receiving a signal with his eyes, Zhang Liang immediately put down his wine cup and stood up, leaning on the table for support.

"Brother Xu, it's like this."

"A few days ago, Liang and the Ninth Young Master went to the Left Sima's residence together."

"There's nothing to say about Liu Yi's fatal wound, but Wujiu's fatal wound is highly suspicious."

“The vulture has two fatal wounds, one on its neck and one on its chest. The force was completely different, suggesting that it was inflicted by two different people. Moreover, judging from the force, neither of these fatal wounds seems to have been inflicted by Liu Yi.”

Zhang Liang said in a deep voice.

"Does Zifang mean that the vulture did not die at the hands of Liu Yi?"

Xu Lin asked calmly.

"Most likely."

Zhang Liang nodded.

"Who could be the murderer?"

Xu Lin pretended not to understand.

Han Fei was about to state his speculation when Xu Lin interrupted him.

"Now that Liu Yi and Wujiu are both dead, does it matter who killed Wujiu?"

Xu Lin shook the wine bottle in his hand and asked.

"As far as I know, the vulture is a killer of all birds and a man of General Ji Wuye."

"Liu Yi was promoted by Ji Wuye."

"And Brother Han, you and Ji Wuye have never gotten along."

"The sudden killing of Liu Yi and Wujiu is not a good thing for you, Brother Han?"

Xu Lin added.

"It's a good thing."

Han Fei admitted it.

"Isn't that done?"

Xu Lin chuckled.

Zhang Liang was about to refute this, but Han Fei stopped him.

Han Fei felt that Xu Lin's words made sense. Liu Yi and Wujiu were both dead, so there was no point in investigating this matter now!

"Brother Xu, do you know about the quicksand?"

After a moment of contemplation, Han Fei asked casually.

“I’ve heard Zi Nu mention it before.”

Xu Lin nodded.

"Brother Xu, could you please try to persuade Miss Zi Nu?"

"After the matter is accomplished, there will definitely be a generous reward!"

Han Fei asked.

"No."

Xu Lin refused immediately.

"Why?"

Han Fei looked puzzled.

"Zi Nu said, 'The Flowing Sands desire to conquer the world. Is this true?'"

Xu Lin asked with a somber expression.

"Yes."

Han Fei nodded.

"Qin's power is already established, and Chu has a million armored soldiers. I wonder how Brother Han will gain ninety-nine percent of the world?"

Xu Lin smiled.

"It's man-made."

Han Fei said with great confidence.

I don't see it that way.

"I think one should be down-to-earth."

"Those who aim too high often end up in dire straits."

Xu Lindao.

"Brother Xu, do you think things will end badly?"

Han Fei did not get angry, but laughed instead.

"Most likely."

Xu Lin stated frankly.

"Why are you so certain that you will not fail, Brother Xu?"

"Zifang was well-versed in the classics, and he had certainly read them..."

Han Fei asked with great enthusiasm.

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

"I'm not saying that Zifang and Brother Han are without talent."

"It is because the Qin state has already established its power, and Brother Han is not the crown prince."

Xu Lindao.

If Han Fei had been born a few decades earlier and had been the crown prince of Han, he might have had the opportunity to reform and strengthen the state.

Even if it's just a "what if," the word "perhaps" must be added, which shows that it's incredibly difficult for South Korea to turn the tide!

Upon hearing this, Zhang Liang lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

Although Xu Lin's words were harsh, they were not without merit.
