Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 173 Zi Nu and Xu Lin's Cooperation

"There are only people in the world who pretend to be gods and ghosts."

Xu Lin smiled and said.

"But how do you explain the disappearance of 100,000 in military pay?"

Han Fei nodded in agreement, and then immediately asked further questions.

He didn't believe in any ghost soldiers robbing the pay!
"I wonder if Young Master Jiu has ever heard of water dissolving gold?"

Xu Lin glanced at Zi Nu, then asked.

Upon hearing the words "water dissolves gold," Zi Nu's brows furrowed slightly. How did Xu Zhengchun know that water dissolves gold?
"Water dissolves gold?"

Han Fei frowned.

"Water-dissolving gold is also known as Nine Springs gold".

"It melts in water and burns in fire, and its appearance is no different from ordinary gold."

Xu Lin introduced.

"Such a thing actually exists in the world?"

"Thank you for your guidance, Brother Xu!"

Han Fei was startled upon hearing this, then cupped his hands in greeting.

He left Zilan Pavilion as soon as he finished speaking.

Speed ​​is of the essence in war. He is now the Minister of Justice, so we must follow up on any leads immediately!
After Han Fei walked away, Zi Nu dismissed everyone around her.

Soon, only Zi Nu and Xu Lin remained in the large room.

Xu Lin gave Han Fei advice because he wanted to accelerate the internal strife in the state of Han, destroy Han more quickly, and then return to Xianyang.

He also wanted to startle Ni, Nian Duan, and the others!
"Mr. Xu Lin also knows how to refine water-dissolving gold?"

After a few breaths, Zi Nu asked with a light laugh.

She was now almost certain that the person in front of her was Xu Lin.

"I have only heard of the concept of water dissolving metal."

Xu Lin shook his head.

"What did Miss Zi Nu call me just now?"

Xu Lin sat cross-legged at the table, pouring wine as he asked questions.

"Xu Lin".

The woman in purple answered in a charming voice.

Before Xu Lin could reply, she took out a portrait from her sleeve.

The portrait was sent by Cai Die a few hours ago, and it depicted Xu Lin.

The Xu Lin in the portrait looks very much like the Xu Lin of today.

“The butterfly is in Xianyang, and there are no outsiders here, so Mr. Xu Lin, please stop lying!”

Zi Nu smiled charmingly and offered her suggestion.

After she finished speaking, she knelt down opposite Xu Lin.

Then he placed the wine pot on the stove and began to warm the wine for Xu Lin.

"Miss Zi Nu is truly insightful."

"Okay, I'll stop pretending. I really am Xu Lin."

After a moment's hesitation, Xu Lin admitted it.

He will return to Xianyang in six months at most. Zi Nu owes him another favor, so he has no reason to keep lying to her!

Having lived two lives, Xu Lin knew that Zi Nu was a grateful person.

If it weren't for him, it would have been very difficult to deal with Liu Yi's troublemaking back then!

Upon hearing this, Zi Nu raised her eyebrows slightly and took a sip of orchid wine.

She had long admired Xu Lin!

"Why did you just give Han Fei your advice, sir?"

"Sir, you are an important minister of Qin, and Han Fei is the ninth prince of Han. Shouldn't you be enemies?"

After chatting for a while, Zi Nu blinked her beautiful eyes and asked.

After shedding his disguise, Xu Lin spoke eloquently and fluently, his words like pearls of wisdom, which made Zi Nu feel as if she were bathed in a spring breeze and benefited her greatly!

"Miss Zi Nu is mistaken."

"Decades ago, during the reign of King Huiwen of Qin, didn't Zhang Yi, a man from Wei, also become the Prime Minister of Qin?"

Xu Lin waved his hand.

"But Han Fei is the Ninth Prince."

Purple Maiden said.

"Xiong Qi, the Lord of Changping of Qin, was also a prince of Chu."

Xu Lin said without hesitation.

"Sir, you wish to recruit Han Fei?"

Zi Nu frowned slightly.

Han Fei said many times that he wanted to reform and strengthen the state, and that he would go to Qin like Lord Changping, Xiong Qi.
"I just want to accelerate the internal strife in South Korea."

"Whether quicksand or nightfall wins in the end doesn't matter."

"Because when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits."

Xu Lin said with a smile. After speaking, he took a big gulp of orchid wine.

At his urging, Zi Nu did not join the Quicksand, so there was nothing to hide from her!
"I see!"

A look of realization flashed across Zi Nu's beautiful eyes.

She even began to suspect that Xu Lin was the mastermind behind the ghost soldiers' robbery of the funds.

However, she and Xu Lin were not exactly friends, so it was best not to ask too many questions about it!
"What are your plans next, Miss Zi Nu?"

"To live or die with South Korea?"

Xu Lin shook the wine bottle in his hand and said sarcastically.

"If it weren't for your sudden appearance, sir, preventing me from joining the quicksand..."

"This humble woman might very well live and die with South Korea!"

Zi Nu flicked her hair.

Before Xu Lin joined Han Fei, Han Fei kept deceiving her with empty promises, almost leading her to join the Quicksand gang.

"Qin's power was already established, and Han was already weak. Internal strife was intensifying, so it was only a matter of time before Han was destroyed."

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

"Since Miss Zi Nu does not wish to perish with the state of Han, why does she not go to Qin?"

Xu Lin asked with a smile.

"Enter Qin?"

"I am unfamiliar with the land and people of Qin. Unless you, sir, are willing to lend me a hand, how can I establish myself in Qin?"

The woman in purple asked in a seductive voice.

"I can lend you a hand."

"But there are conditions!"

Xu Lin answered while thinking.

"Sir, please speak."

Purple Maiden's beautiful eyes were full of anticipation.

Xu Lin is the deputy commander of the Qin State Shadow Guard and a favorite minister of the King of Qin. With Xu Lin's help, who in Qin would dare to mess with Xin Zilanxuan?
"You have two choices."

"First, let me be the owner of Xin Zilanxuan."

"How can a nightclub only have a proprietress and no owner?"

Xu Lin said with a half-smile.

Zi Nu is a very independent person, unlike Yan Ling Ji, Madam Hu, Jing Ni, Li Wu, and Li Ji.

He wanted Zi Nu to be his capable wife!

"What about the second option?"

Feeling Xu Lin's intense gaze, Zi Nu asked with a charming smile.

She admires Xu Lin, but for now it's just admiration; she has no other thoughts.
“Give me 30% of the profits from Xin Zilanxuan.”

Xu Lindao.

"Thirty percent?"

"Wei Zhuang, the successor of Guigu School, only wants 10% of the profits from this Zilan Pavilion."

Zi Nu couldn't hide her surprise.

Xu Lin is really asking for an exorbitant amount!
That's because he's just a disciple of Guiguzi.

"And I am not only the deputy commander of the Shadow Guard, but also an important minister of the Qin state."

Xu Lin smiled.

“If Miss Zi Nu is unwilling to give up 30% of the profits, she can choose the first cooperation method.”

"In the first cooperation method, you not only don't have to contribute any profits, but you can also gain profits!"

Xu Lin loudly recommended.

He is not short of money, so he prefers Zi Nu to choose the first cooperation method!
"Can you still make a profit?"

"I wonder how much benefit I can gain if I choose the first cooperation method?"

Zi Nu smiled, pursing her lips.

"You'll know once you've made your choice, Miss Zi."

Xu Lin replied with a smile.

"This is a matter of great importance. I wonder if you would allow me a few days to consider it?"

After a moment of contemplation, Zi Nu suppressed her smile and asked seriously.

"of course."

Xu Lin nodded.

He then drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, patted Zi Nu's fragrant shoulder a few times, and told Zi Nu to think about writing him a letter.

In fact, no matter which cooperation method Zi Nu chooses, the final outcome will be the same!
Because once they arrive in Xianyang, the two will see each other all the time, and Zi Nu will eventually be taken advantage of by Xu Lin!

Watching Xu Lin's receding figure, Zi Nu, with her purple hair piled high, gently stroked the patterns on her skirt and fell into deep thought.

After pondering for a long time, she shook her head and decided to take it one step at a time.

Then she wrote a letter to Cai Die, asking her to investigate Xianyang and see which location in Xianyang was suitable for opening a new Zi Lan Xuan.
