Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 177 Starting with the Easy, Then the Difficult: Kill the Emerald Tiger

"Don't you want to marry Ji Wuye?"

"can."

"You want me to help you get rid of Ji Wuye?"

"That's fine too."

“But it will take time.”

Xu Lin answered while thinking.

Many people in South Korea, including King Han An, are somewhat afraid of Ji Wuye, but he is not.

The state of Han was tiny, with no more than 100,000 soldiers. If Qin wanted to destroy Han, it would be as easy as turning its hand!
If it weren't for the mutual dependence of states, such as Zhao and Wei, supporting the state, the state of Han would have been destroyed long ago!

Is there anything else?

Seeing that Honglian still had something to say, Xu Lin asked.

“My ninth brother, Han Fei, was assassinated a few days ago.”

"Although we are half-brothers, we have always had a very good relationship. He is a man of extraordinary talent and profound cultivation."

"I wonder if you could allow him to..."

Honglian blinked her beautiful eyes and asked.

Before she could finish speaking, Xu Lin interrupted her.

“Your ninth brother is the Lord of Quicksand, it won’t be so easy for Nightfall to kill him.”

"But your ninth brother needs to change his mindset."

"If he insists on sharing life and death with Han, he will surely die."

Xu Lindao.

"I told you about the idea of ​​using war to stop war last time."

"Whether they are Han or Qin people, weren't they all Zhou people hundreds of years ago?"

"Therefore, when you have time, you can try to persuade your ninth brother to understand that the Qin state's power is already secured, the Han state is on the verge of collapse, and there is no way to save it."

"But this matter cannot be rushed. We must persuade him slowly. Rome wasn't built in a day. And when you persuade him, you must pay attention to your ninth brother's mood. He is very smart, so don't give yourself away!"

Xu Lin continued.

"it is good."

Honglian's jade-like legs were pressed together, and she nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"Sir, there is one more thing, I don't know... I promise this is the last thing!"

A hint of embarrassment flashed in Honglian's beautiful eyes as she patted her chest lightly.

"But it doesn't matter."

Xu Lin nodded.

“Ji Wuye is a powerful figure who often disregards my father.”

“Now that Ji Wuye has even dared to kill his two uncles, Lord Anping and Lord Longquan, I’m afraid that Ji Wuye will go mad and attack my father.”

"Therefore, sir, could you please allow my father to..."

Honglian asked.

Before she could finish speaking, Xu Lin interrupted her again.

"This is very simple."

"As long as your father doesn't push Ji Wuye too far, he won't be in any danger if he refuses to surrender when the Qin army attacks the city."

Xu Lin looked calm.

"it is good."

"Thank you sir for your advice."

Honglian nodded slightly and bowed to express her gratitude.

Although she was somewhat dissatisfied with Han Wang An because Ji Wuye wanted to marry her, overall, she and Han Wang An had a good relationship.

"Nothing else?"

Seeing that Honglian wanted to leave, Xu Lin asked.

Honglian shook her head.

"The three things the princess just mentioned are not trivial matters."

"Therefore, the princess needs to pay a deposit first."

Xu Lin put down his teacup and smiled.

"Deposit?"

Honglian's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Xu Lin nodded, pointed to Honglian's cherry lips, and then placed his hand on his right cheek.

Honglian blushed instantly upon seeing this scene.

Then, she gently bit her cherry lips, moved gracefully to Xu Lin's side, closed her beautiful eyes slightly, and gave him a light peck.

Honglian, who was usually willful, capricious, and fearless, blushed deeply and her palms were sweating profusely.

Xu Lin looked satisfied when he saw this.

His favorite sight was a beautiful woman blushing.

"How does the master intend to kill Ji Wuye?"

Honglian took a half step back and asked, pursing her cherry lips.

After speaking, she picked up the teacup and drank several large mouthfuls of boiled water.

Because she only applied a light touch of makeup, only a faint lip print remained on Xu Lin's right cheek.

Upon seeing the lip print, Honglian coughed twice and handed Xu Lin two sheets of tissue paper, asking him to wipe it off.

“Ji Wuye is not only the Grand General of Han, but also the Lord of Night.” “Therefore, I intend to eliminate his henchmen first.”

"The Four Fiends of Night: Emerald Tiger, Blood-Clad Marquis, Tide Demoness, and Straw-Clad Swordsman. Who do you think should be killed first?"

Xu Lin asked back with a smile.

After saying that, he slowly wiped his face.

"From easy to difficult."

"I think we should kill Emerald Tiger first."

"Jade Tiger doesn't know martial arts, he's just rich, so he should be the easiest to kill!"

Honglian answered in a deep voice.

"I think so."

Xu Lin smiled.

Then the topic shifted to Honglian's clothes.

"Princess, if you come again, please dress as a man."

Xu Lin looked at Honglian's pink dress and spoke.

"Why?"

"Is this dress... not pretty?"

Honglian placed her hands on her waist and spun around in front of Xu Lin.

"nice."

"But it's too flashy."

Xu Lindao.

"Others don't know that you, sir, are the deputy commander of the Shadow Guard, a high-ranking official of the Qin state, Xu..."

Honglian disagreed.

But she was interrupted by Xu Lin again before she could finish her sentence.

"It doesn't matter if others don't know my true identity."

"Is it appropriate for a Korean princess to spend all her time visiting the residence of the son of a Qin ruler?"

Xu Lin asked with a somber expression.

Honglian was taken aback upon hearing this, then shook her head.

After a dozen or so breaths, she agreed to continue dressing as a man for Xu Lin.

Then he turned and left the Xu residence.

“Xi Jun”.

What do you think of Mr. Xu as a person?

Honglian looked at her trusted confidante Xijun and asked with a furrowed brow.

She had already paid a 'deposit', so she would become Xu Lin's woman sooner or later.

"Mr. Xu is both a scholar and a warrior, handsome and refined."

"I think he is very suitable for the princess."

Xi Jun said respectfully.

Although she hadn't heard Honglian say that she was willing to do anything for Xu Lin, she knew that Honglian had always admired Xu Lin!

Upon hearing this, Honglian bit her cherry lips and fell into deep thought.

After a moment of contemplation, she shook her head vigorously, as if it were a rattle.

Ji Wuye wields immense power in the court; killing him would be no easy task.
Even Xu Lin would probably need a long time to kill Ji Wuye.

Therefore, she doesn't need to think that far ahead right now.

……

After a stick of incense.

Honglian did not return to the princess's residence, but went to the Han King's palace instead.

The reason she chose to go to the Han King's Palace instead of the Ninth Prince's residence was because Han Fei was too clever. She was afraid that if she said something wrong, Han Fei would become suspicious and discover her affair with Xu Lin.

Although she only paid a 'deposit', it would be very troublesome if Han Fei found out about this!
Xu Lin was an important minister of Qin, and Han Fei would definitely not agree to her marrying Xu Lin. But what's done is done, and words spoken are like water spilled; how could they be taken back?

……

the other side.

Xu Mansion, on the outskirts of Xinzheng City.

"Why did you help her, my benefactor?"

"Because of lust?"

Yan Lingji smiled sweetly and teased.

"Because when one achieves success, one should benefit all under heaven."

"I never liked Ji Wuye in the first place."

Xu Lin said as he thought.

After speaking, he sat down on the homemade bamboo chair and then let Yan Lingji sit on his lap.

"If it had been Han Fei instead of Honglian who came just now."

"Will you lend a helping hand, my benefactor?"

Yan Lingji said.

She didn't believe that Xu Lin helped Honglian because of the idea that "when you succeed, you should help others."
There may be a reason for the idea that "when you are successful, you should help others," but that is definitely not the main reason!
She knows Xu Lin too well!
Xu Lin ignored him and placed his hand on Yan Lingji's waist.

Then Yan Lingji turned around.

He prefers face-to-face interactions, shaking hands and making peace!
