Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 176 The young girl Honglian is willing to grant Xu Lin any request.
Upon hearing this, Han Fei hesitated, as if he wanted to speak.

Then, with a helpless sigh, he left the palace.

The news quickly reached Honglian's ears.

When Honglian learned of this, she was so angry that her eyebrows shot up.

She hated Ji Wuye; in her eyes, Ji Wuye and Liu Yi were birds of a feather!
"Why won't Father let Ninth Brother continue the investigation?"

"Does that scoundrel Ji Wuye dare to murder the emperor?!"

Honglian put her hands on her waist and puffed out her cheeks as she spoke.

After speaking, she wrote Ji Wuye's name on the bamboo slip, then drew the long sword from Xijun's waist and cut the bamboo slip in two with one stroke.

"Princess."

"Ji Wuye commands a large army and even dared to kill Lord Anping and Lord Longquan. Who knows what he will do next?"

Xi Jun dismissed his attendants and said in a gentle voice.

She could understand why King Han An wouldn't let Han Fei investigate thoroughly.

King Han An was only the nominal king of Korea. In recent years, the real king of Korea has always been Ji Muye.

Night falls, a hundred birds appear, the Blood-Clad Marquis appears, the Tide Demoness appears, the Straw-Cloaked Guest appears, the Emerald Tiger appears, and Korea is completely under Ji Wuye's control!

Ji Wuye's power in the state of Han was far greater than Lü Buwei's power in the state of Qin when Lü Buwei was alive.

Upon hearing this, Honglian felt a chill run down her spine and her chest heaved violently.

Xi Jun's words reminded her of what Ji Wuye had told King Han An six months ago: that he wanted to marry her.

Of course, her father neither agreed nor refused!
Father is so afraid of Ji Wuye, will he make her marry Ji Wuye in a while?
She didn't want to marry that lewd and ugly old man, Ji Wuye!
"Princess."

"There is something I don't know..."

Seeing that Honglian was very angry, Xijun asked respectfully.

Before she could finish speaking, Honglian interrupted her.

"Say!"

Honglian said irritably.

As the saying goes, fortune and misfortune are intertwined, and misfortune and fortune are intertwined. She refused to believe that it was all bad!

"The Ninth Prince suddenly suggested today that we investigate thoroughly, pointing the finger at Ji Wuye, which is probably related to last night's assassination attempt."

"I heard from a rumor that the Ninth Prince was assassinated last night, but fortunately he escaped unharmed."

Xi Jun lowered his voice.

"Ninth Brother was assassinated?"

"Who did it?"

Honglian's beautiful eyes widened; she could hardly believe her ears.

You should know that this is Xinzheng, the capital of the Korean state, and Ninth Brother is the Ninth Prince of Korea!
Who on earth is so bold as to dare to assassinate even Ninth Brother?

"It is said to be the killer of a hundred birds."

Xi Jun replied.

Upon hearing the words "hundred birds," Honglian clenched her teeth.

Then he glared angrily at the general's mansion.

"Didn't you say before that the presiding judge investigating the Ghost Soldiers' robbery of supplies might also have died at the hands of the Hundred Birds?"

After more than ten breaths, Honglian said coldly.

Xi Jun nodded.

Then he poured Honglian a bowl of hot tea and told her not to be so angry, as anger is bad for her health.

"Military pay, birds, Uncle Wang, Ninth Brother, Father Wang."

"Is Ji Wuye truly invincible?"

Honglian opened her beautiful eyes wide and spoke each word clearly.

After speaking, she looked towards the Xu residence.

It would be very difficult to bring down Ji Wuye without the help of external forces!
Then let's rely on external forces!

With this thought in mind, Honglian put on her cloak and rode her horse to the Xu residence.

Xi Jun followed closely behind.

Before long, Honglian arrived at the Xu residence as she had wished.

Boom boom boom!
Honglian took a deep breath and knocked hard on the door.

She knew this was a path of no return, but for herself, for her ninth brother, and for her father, her eyes were resolute.

Xu Lin was playing chess with Yan Lingji in his study at that moment.

Upon hearing this, Xu Lin's brows furrowed slightly, and he released Yan Lingji's slender waist.

Yan Lingji put down the chess piece in her hand, put on men's clothing, and walked unhurriedly towards the door.

Squeak.

The wooden door opened in response.

Honglian, who came into view, was not dressed as a man as usual.

"Stop pretending."

"I know you're a woman too."

Is Mr. Xu home?

Honglian asked bluntly. Yan Lingji's chest was full and her body exuded a fragrant scent; what man would react like that?

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Xu Lin sitting cross-legged in the study.

So she lifted her skirt and walked quickly toward Xu Lin.

"Mr. Xu Lin."

"My name isn't Chi Lian, it's Hong Lian."

I have long admired you!

Honglian faced Xu Lin and bowed deeply.

"Princess Honglian has come to visit suddenly. What brings you here?"

Xu Lin was taken aback upon hearing this, then helped Honglian up.

Honglian remained silent, looking at Yanlingji who was walking towards her.

"Wait for me outside."

Seeing this, Xu Lin spoke up.

"promise."

Although Yan Lingji was displeased, she still chose to accept the order.

Upon witnessing this scene, Xijun wisely retreated outside the study.

"gentlemen."

"I have a request!"

"I wonder if you could lend me a hand?"

Honglian knelt opposite Xu Lin and asked with her big eyes wide open.

She said she was used to calling herself "this princess," so she almost called herself that again.

Asking for a favor and referring to herself as a princess is too arrogant. Who would be willing to help her?

When you ask someone for a favor, you need to have the right attitude!

"The princess is the apple of the eye of the King of Han."

"Princess, you risked your life to come to me because even your father, the king, couldn't handle this matter?"

Xu Lin asked calmly.

After he finished speaking, he poured Honglian a bowl of tea.

"Sir, you really see through things!"

Honglian nodded, praising sincerely.

Xu Lin truly deserves to be called a genius of unparalleled talent!
"After it's done."

"I will give you all the gold coins and valuables in my mansion!"

Honglian said in a deep voice.

She was King Han An's favorite daughter, so she received countless rewards in recent years. All the valuables in her household, plus gold ingots, are conservatively estimated to be worth 20,000 gold coins.

“I had someone calculate it before; all the valuables in my mansion together amount to ten thousand taels of gold, plus…”

Honglian continued.

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Xu Lin.

"But I am not short of money."

Xu Lindao.

Upon hearing this, the young girl Honglian hesitated to speak.

Xu Lin was an important minister of the Qin state, so it was definitely not feasible to offer him a high-ranking official position and generous salary in the state of Han.

Xu Lin didn't want the money either.

What does he want?
After a moment of contemplation, Honglian's beautiful eyes lit up, and she straightened her chest.

She admired Xu Lin, so she was willing to give herself to him!

She had never thought about getting married before, but now, in order to avoid marrying Ji Wuye, to prevent her ninth brother from being killed, and to prevent her father from becoming a puppet in Ji Wuye's hands, she was willing to give herself to him!
Xu Lin is handsome, gentle and refined, and very talented. He is only a few years older than her, so she is not at a disadvantage by marrying him!
"After it's done."

"I can promise you anything."

Thinking of this, Honglian bit her cherry lips and spoke with difficulty.

After speaking, she did not lower her head and bury her face in her chest, but instead looked at Xu Lin with bright, piercing eyes.

She was a brave person, unlike the submissive Mrs. Hu.

There's no turning back now that the arrow has been released; she's already said what she wanted to say, so what's there to be shy about?
"it is good."

"what do you want to do?"

Seeing that Honglian was serious, Xu Lin frowned slightly, then nodded.

How can you refuse a beauty who comes to your door?
The red lotus hasn't bloomed yet, but in a few years when it does, it will be just as beautiful as Madam Hu and Consort Hu!

"I don't want to marry Ji Wuye."

"Ji Wuye is lecherous and cruel, even more so than Liu Yi, who was killed earlier."

"Therefore, I want your help to get rid of Ji Wuye!"

Honglian said without a smile.
