Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 172 Hu Meiren: There's a Long Way to Go
Yan Lingji was displeased upon hearing this, so she changed into men's clothing and walked towards the gate.

Crunch!

The door opened with a click!

The first thing that came into view was a Luo Wang assassin, holding a letter in her hand.

Although Jing Ni has been away from Luo Wang for a long time, Luo Wang still has her trusted confidants.

Please pass this letter on to Mr. Xu!

The Way of the Assassins of the Net.

Upon hearing this, Yan Lingji frowned slightly, sized up the assassin from the Luo Wang organization, took the letter, and returned to her study.

Upon receiving the letter, Xu Lin immediately tore open the envelope and read its contents.

The letter was written by Jing Ni. In it, Jing Ni said that she was willing to go to Korea to help Xu Lin, and then asked when Xu Lin would return to Xianyang. Cherry, Li Ji and others missed Xu Lin very much!

After reading it, Xu Lin stroked his sword-like eyebrows and fell into deep thought.

Then he wrote back to Jing Ni, saying that it's not about quantity but quality, and that South Korea doesn't need Jing Ni's help.

As for returning to Xianyang, it will be soon, at most another six months.

After writing it, Xu Lin had someone send the letter to Xianyang.

As soon as the messenger left, Xu Lin saw Hu Meiren's confidante, Zhi En.

Ji-eun was tall and wearing a dark blue dress, walking slowly toward him.

Upon seeing this, Xu Lin frowned slightly and then told Yan Lingji to go back first.

"Mr. Xu, long time no see."

"Regarding the matter of expressing gratitude, what have you considered?"

Zhi En approached Xu Lin, smiled sweetly, and asked.

"Did your master send you?"

Xu Lin stood with his hands behind his back and asked in return.

Ji-eun, with her long hair tied up high, nodded slightly.

"I just decided."

Xu Lin smiled calmly upon seeing this.

Then he left with Ji-eun.

This time, Ji-eun didn't take Heo-rim to the East Suburbs Residence, but went directly to the Baekhyangjeon Hall of the Han King's Palace.

Although Hu Yan's title was only 'Beauty', her Hundred Fragrance Palace was by no means small.

To prevent this matter from reaching Han Wang'an's ears and displeasing him, Zhi'en gave Xu Lin a medicine box when they were near the Baixiang Palace. Xu Lin was instructed to pretend to be a doctor and enter the Baixiang Palace under the pretext of treating Consort Hu.

Before long, Xu Lin met Hu Meiren as he had wished.

Hu Meiren wore a light purple silk dress of exceptional quality, which made her appear less charming and more dignified than the last time I saw her.

"Mr. Xu, you are finally here."

When Hu Meiren saw Xu Lin, her red lips parted slightly.

Then he raised his hand to dismiss the people around him.

"I thought you had forgotten me!"

After the maids had gone far away, Consort Hu crossed her long right leg over her left and teased them.

After speaking, she lazily beckoned to Xu Lin with her finger.

After not seeing him for a few days, Xu Lin had become even more handsome, which made Hu Meiren's mouth water!
Han Wang'an was overweight and, in terms of height, figure, and temperament, he was no match for Xu Lin at all!

"I don't dare."

Xu Lin answered calmly and unhurriedly.

Then he glanced around.

Although Baixiang Palace is not small, it is, after all, inside the Han King's palace. How could the walls not have ears?
Although he was not afraid of King Han An, he did not want to return to Xianyang now.

Therefore, it is impossible to make excessive demands today!

"Have you figured out how I should thank you?"

Hu Meiren's eyelashes gradually curved.

For some reason, she really wanted to trample Xu Lin under her feet!
Although she was just a 'beauty,' she loved to look down on others!

Xu Lin nodded.

What do you want me to do?

Hu Meiren blinked her phoenix eyes and pressed for an answer.

After speaking, she leaned forward and placed her fair wrist on her knee.

"I have something to ask you."

Xu Lin said as he thought.

"What's the matter?"

"I will tell you everything I know!"

Hu Meiren puffed out her chest.

Every smile and gesture of hers was an invitation to commit a crime. It was only because Xu Lin had such strong willpower that he could resist. If it were anyone else, they probably would have already taken the initiative and moved forward!
"I wonder if Lady Hu is still a young lady?"

Xu Lin stepped forward a few steps and lowered his voice.

Although Lady Hu is naturally charming, she has no sense of being a wife, unlike Zhao Ji and Lady Hu!

In addition, many fan fiction novels in later generations say that Hu Meiren, like Mingzhu, used incense to deceive King Han An, so he wants to know whether Hu Meiren in this world is a 'virgin'.

Although Xu Lin doesn't have a virginity complex, being a virgin is a plus for him!
Why do you ask that?

Hu Meiren was taken aback upon hearing this, and then replied.

Only Mingzhu and her sister knew that she was still a virgin. Mingzhu rarely left the palace and had probably never seen Xu Zhengchun. It was her sister who told Xu Zhengchun.

"Did your sister tell you?"

Hu Meiren pressed for an answer.

"No."

"My guess."

Xu Lin shook his head.

"I have been in the palace for many years, why do you still think I am a young girl?" Consort Hu pursed her red lips.

"intuition."

Xu Lin answered.

"You are very smart!"

After more than ten breaths, Hu Meiren commented.

After speaking, she pointed to the incense on the windowsill and told Xu Lin about how she used incense to deal with Han Wang An.

After listening, Xu Lin suddenly understood.

"You're only curious about this?"

Seeing that Xu Lin wanted to leave, Hu Meiren asked.

"Correct."

Xu Lin nodded.

"Are you so timid?"

Hu Meiren smiled charmingly and pressed for an answer.

After speaking, she stood up, supporting herself on the phoenix couch, and swayed her slender waist as she walked towards Xu Lin.

"No."

"In my opinion, a wise man should not stand under a crumbling wall."

Xu Lin shook his head and took a half step back.

"You think this is a trap I've set for you?"

A hint of displeasure flashed in Hu Meiren's phoenix eyes.

If she really wanted to frame Xu Lin, would she have waited until now without calling for help?

"What I am worried about is that the walls have ears."

"This is, after all, the Han King's Palace."

Xu Lin shook his head again.

He wasn't in a hurry to eat Hu Meiren.

Upon hearing this, Hu Meiren frowned slightly, feeling that Xu Lin's words made some sense.

"There is ample time."

"I'll take my leave."

Xu Lin cupped his hands in greeting.

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and left the Hundred Fragrances Hall.

"There is ample time?"

Watching Xu Lin's retreating figure, Hu Meiren smiled charmingly.

She wasn't in a hurry to eat Xu Lin's food.

……

The next evening.

Xu Lin went to Zilan Pavilion.

Nongyu played the zither, and Lin'er poured wine; they were quite content.

……

Less than half an hour later.

After Lin'er left, Xu Lin began teaching Nongyu the sword technique.

Since only Xu Lin and Nong Yu were in the room, Xu Lin chose to teach her step by step.

Nongyu felt uncomfortable at first, because she had never had such intimate physical contact with any man since she could remember.

But she soon realized that she had been judging others by her own standards.

Because Xu Lin had been teaching her swordsmanship seriously from beginning to end, his eyes were clear, and he did not deliberately take advantage of her.

With this in mind, Nongyu stopped her random thoughts and began to seriously learn swordsmanship.

……

After a stick of incense.

Zi Nu suddenly appeared.

After seeing Zi Nu through the paper window, Xu Lin slowly released Nong Yu's wrist.

Squeak!

The wooden door opened in response.

Nongyu looked in the direction of the sound and, upon seeing Zi Nu, immediately sheathed her sword and returned to the guqin.

"Mr. Xu."

"Young Master Jiu would like to have a drink with you. Would you do me the honor?"

Zi Nu glanced at Nong Yu, then asked.

"can."

Upon hearing this, Xu Lin frowned slightly, then nodded.

After saying this, he and Zi Nu went to another room.

Soon, he met Han Fei.

"Mr. Xu, long time no see!"

Han Fei looked in the direction of the voice and greeted him with a smile.

"Mr. Xu often visits Zilan Pavilion, so he must have heard about the ghost soldiers robbing the money long ago."

"What is Mr. Xu's opinion on this?"

"Are there really ghost soldiers in the world?"

Han Fei asked the question directly.
