Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 174 Succubus Flame Spirit Princess

After the messenger left, Zi Nu returned to her room.

Squeak.

The wooden door opened in response.

After taking her seat, Zi Nu wrote down the two options that Xu Lin had just mentioned.

She currently prefers the second type of cooperation.

Boom boom boom!
Suddenly, Nongyu knocked on the wooden door.

"elder sister."

Nongyu blinked her starry eyes and said.

Upon hearing the sound, Zi Nu folded the straw paper in half, put it in her bosom, and opened the wooden door.

"What's wrong, Yu'er?"

Zi Nu asked with concern.

"elder sister."

Is he really Xu Lin?

Nongyu asked seriously.

With her waist-length hair, she wore a pale yellow dress and adorned with jade and pearl accessories, looking noble and pure.

"Did you hear everything?"

Zi Nu frowned slightly and asked softly.

After speaking, she took Nongyu's soft, delicate hand and led her into the room.

"I just happened to be passing by and overheard part of it."

Nongyu replied.

"Although we are not related by blood, I have always regarded you as my own sister."

"So I will never hide anything from you."

"He was indeed Xu Lin, the deputy commander of the Qin state's Shadow Guard, who invented things such as straw paper and the curved plow."

Zi Nu gently stroked Nong Yu's slender fingers and placed them on her knees.

"He lied to you, but if it weren't for him, you and your mother..."

Zi Nu continued.

Before she could finish speaking, Nongyu interrupted her.

“I can understand him.”

The understanding Nongyu replied without hesitation.

Being unfamiliar with South Korea and given the strained relations between Qin and Han in recent years, Xu Lin had to use a false name and identity.

If she were Xu Lin, she would have done the same!

"That's good."

"But you must also remain vigilant."

"Xu Lin's reputation for womanizing is known to all!"

Zi Numei teased with a smile.

"I will."

Nongyu nodded vigorously.

The fact that Xu Zhengchun is Xu Lin has very little impact on Zi Nu and Nong Yu; it can be almost ignored!
Seeing this, Zi Nu's beautiful eyes flashed with satisfaction, and then she told Nong Yu to go back and rest.

After Nongyu disappeared from sight, Zinu took out a piece of straw paper from her bosom, gently stroked the contents of the paper, and looked towards Weizhuang's room.

Although Wei Zhuang rarely stays at Zilan Pavilion, there are rooms for him there.

From the moment Zi Nu refused to join Quicksand and Wei Zhuang agreed to join, Zi Nu and Wei Zhuang rarely communicated.

Gai Nie, a disciple of Guiguzi, was the chief swordsmanship teacher of the King of Qin, so it was impossible for Wei Zhuang to enter Qin.

With Qin's power firmly established and Xu Lin's assistance, and Zi Nu still owing Xu Lin a favor, it was impossible for Zi Nu to share the fate of Han.

Therefore, the cooperation between Zi Nu and Wei Zhuang is essentially dead in name only.

In Zi Nu's view, many things don't need to be explicitly stated; it's enough that both parties understand each other's thoughts.

Therefore, Zi Nu does not intend to bring this matter up with Wei Zhuang.

……

Five days later.

With the help of Wei Zhuang, the Seven Absolutes Hall, and the retainers of the Prime Minister's residence, Han Fei used the Water Dissolves Gold method to find out Ji Wuye's cousin, Ji Fang.

"Lord Sikou."

"Ji Fang's large-scale purchase of raw materials for refining Water-Dissolving Gold last month suggests that Ji Wuye is most likely the mastermind behind the Ghost Soldiers' robbery of supplies."

"But Ji Fang is probably already dead."

Tang Qi held up the umbrella and spoke calmly.

He had white hair and beard, tattooed characters on his forehead, and a thin build. He wore a black and white robe decorated with animal patterns.

He once served in the Korean army and personally experienced the Korean war against the Baiyue people, where he made meritorious contributions. After leaving the army, he worked hard in Xinzheng, the capital of Korea, and founded a small gang called "Seven Absolutes Hall". After cooperating with Wei Zhuang, in less than a year, Seven Absolutes Hall became the leading gang in Korea.

"Discarding a donkey after it has served its purpose?" Han Fei was furious upon hearing this.

He went through so much trouble to find Ji Fang, and you're telling me Ji Fang is already dead?

No wonder Ji Wuye became a great general; it seems Han Fei really underestimated Ji Wuye!
"The General's Mansion is always meticulous in its work."

Tang Qi nodded.

"Not a drop of water leaked?"

"hehe!"

"Where there is water, there will always be a leak."

"Haven't you ever heard the phrase 'constant dripping wears away a stone'?"

Han Fei sneered.

Even if Ji Fang is dead, he will not give up!
……

the other side.

Xinzheng, the General's Mansion.

"General."

"Han Fei is still investigating the water-based gold-dissolving process."

Mo Ya reported respectfully.

"Still checking?"

Ji Wuye's thick eyebrows furrowed.

Ji Fang was in charge of replacing military pay with water-based gold. Now that Ji Fang has disappeared without a trace, even if Han Fei finds out about him, what can he do?
"It seems that if someone pretends to be a spoiled brat for too long, he will really become one."

Ji Wuye grinned.

"Still haven't found Ji Fang?"

Ji Wuye gently stroked the maid who was lying on his lap and asked.

Ji Fang's life or death is not important; what matters is the 100,000 military pay!
Why did he go through all this trouble?
It wasn't just to kill a few of Zhang Kaidi's trusted men!
Zhang Kaidi's left and right arms should be killed, and he also wants the military pay!

"No."

Mo Ya shook his head.

He and the Hundred Birds Killer searched almost every inch of South Korea, but still couldn't find Ji Fang.

Ji Fang's sudden disappearance is most likely a sign that she has been murdered!
The fact that Ji Fang's body has not been found for so long indicates that the person who killed Ji Fang was meticulous and did not want them to find Ji Fang's body!
"South Korea is such a small place."

"Aside from that brat Han Fei, I really can't think of anyone else who would dare to touch Ji Fang's military supplies and oppose me."

"Do you think it's possible that Han Fei is crying wolf?"

"Actually, Ji Fang died at the hands of Liu Sha, and the military pay was stolen by Liu Sha?"

Ji Wuye stroked the back of the maid's neck, thinking as he spoke.

In his view, Han Fei was highly suspicious!

Because in South Korea, only the Flowing Sands dare to openly challenge Ji Wuye!

"Absolutely possible!"

Mo Ya nodded.

Upon hearing this, Ji Wuye twisted his neck and fell into deep thought.

After a moment's thought, he dismissed his attendants and wrote a letter to the man in the straw raincoat.

The Straw-Clothed Man is one of the Four Fiends of the Night, known as the "Straw-Clothed Man of the Night." He is responsible for monitoring the entire Korean government and society. He is the most mysterious and unpredictable person in the Night, and he is extremely well hidden.

Han Fei suspected, or rather, he believed that Ji Wuye had embezzled the 100,000 taels of military pay.

Ji Wuye felt that the 100,000 military pay had been stolen by Liu Sha.

The two suspected each other, while the real mastermind was enjoying Yan Lingji's massage in the bathhouse.

"Why do you like rabbits so much, sir?"

Seeing Xu Lin's piercing eyes, Yan Lingji asked curiously.

Don't you think it's cute?

Xu Lin asked, his eyes fixed on her.

As soon as he finished speaking, he placed his hand on the rabbit's head.

He not only found bouncy rabbits cute, but also really enjoyed eating them!
"It's not that cute, is it?"

Yan Lingji bit her thin lips lightly, trying to remain calm.

She was good at attacking but not at defending, so she quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.

Which do you prefer, soy milk or candied hawthorn berries?

After a cup of tea, Xu Lin asked with a half-smile.

"Children make choices."

"I want them all, sister!"

Yan Lingji replied without hesitation.

Before Xu Lin could respond, she swept her cascading hair up her back and launched a counterattack.
