Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 178 Flame Spirit Princess Begs for Mercy on Tiptoes

"How does it feel?"

Xu Lin asked with a smile.

After she finished speaking, she told Yan Lingji to close her legs together.

"I don't feel anything."

Yan Lingji retorted stubbornly.

"is it?"

Xu Lin smiled broadly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he made Yan Lingji stand on tiptoe.

After more than ten breaths, Yan Lingji clenched her teeth and covered her mouth with her hand.

"benefactor."

"Haste makes waste, is that right...?"

Yan Lingji frowned and discussed with Xu Lin.

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

"What did you call me?"

Xu Lin asked, feigning displeasure.

Then he raised his hand and slapped it down hard.

"Hu... husband."

Yan Lingji glared at Xu Lin.

She doesn't like being passive!

"That's pretty much it."

Xu Lin looked satisfied.

Then the initiative was handed over to Yan Lingji.

……

Half an hour later.

Yan Ling Ji narrowly lost.

"Although the Jade Tiger does not know martial arts, it should not be underestimated."

"After all, he is one of the Four Fiends of the Night."

"Therefore, be careful when investigating him!"

Xu Lin gently brushed Yan Lingji's black hair from her forehead and solemnly instructed her.

Her cascading hair was soaked and clung to her chest in strands.

"My sister knows."

Yan Lingji said casually.

After saying that, she swayed her hips and left the study.

After entering the bathhouse, Yan Lingji let out a long sigh and sat down in the bathtub, unable to hide her exhaustion.

Now her legs are weak, her back is sore, and even her feet hurt!

……

Three days later.

Zhang Liang returned to Xinzheng.

After reporting his safety to his grandfather, Zhang Liang immediately took a carriage to the residence of the Ninth Prince.

The Ninth Prince's residence is right next to the Han King's Palace and not far from the Prime Minister's residence.

Before long, Zhang Liang met Han Fei as he had wished.

"ovary?"

"You are finally back!"

Han Fei looked in the direction of the sound and saw Zhang Liang, his face lighting up with joy.

Then he dismissed those around him and had Zhang Liang sit opposite him.

"how?"

"Is he really Xu Lin?"

Han Fei asked seriously.

"should be."

Zhang Liang nodded.

Then he took out a stack of toilet paper from his pocket.

The draft paper was covered with writing, some of which he had learned from Shu County in Qin State, some from Xianyang in Qin State, and there was also a portrait of Xu Lin.

Han Fei, dressed in a purple robe, took the draft paper and stared intently at its contents.

"Son."

"The fact that Xu Zhengchun was the son of Anle Jun of Qin came from the Qin government."

“I searched for several days in Shu County of Qin State, but I couldn’t find anyone who had seen Lord Anle.”

"Therefore, it is highly likely that Anle Jun is also a fictional character, just like Xu Zhengchun!"

"..."

Zhang Liang said in a deep voice.

After listening, Han Fei nodded thoughtfully and asked Zhang Liang to continue.

Anle Jun is a fictional character, just as he expected!
Because he had traveled to many countries, he had never heard of any Lord Anle in the Qin state!

"After I arrived in Xianyang, I still didn't see Xu Lin."

"Many people say that Xu Lin has gone into seclusion, but there is no precedent for this."

"Later, I spent a lot of money to obtain a portrait of Xu Lin from six months ago."

"The portrait of Xu Lin bears a striking resemblance to Xu Zhengchun."

"Therefore, Xu Zhengchun should be Xu Lin!"

Zhang Liang pulled out Xu Lin's portrait from the scrap paper and added.

Han Fei nodded, his eyes blazing as he looked at Xu Lin's portrait. The Xu Lin in the portrait had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, with distinct features and a short beard, just like Xu Zhengchun!
“He is Xu Lin, so many things make sense.”

After a moment's thought, Han Fei spoke.

Then he threw the stack of toilet paper into the stove.

"Son."

"Xu Lin is a favorite minister of the King of Qin, and his future is limitless."

"His sudden arrival in Xinzheng must be for some purpose; we must be on guard!"

Zhang Liang reminded him.

"The most urgent task is not to deal with him, but to deal with Nightfall."

"Because internal troubles are more troublesome than external threats!"

Han Fei held the gilded wine vessel in his hand and looked towards the General's Mansion.

After Anping-kun and Longquan-kun died, his alcohol tolerance decreased, and recently he can't even drink a pot a day anymore.

With the Korean empire crumbling, how could he, as the son of the King of Korea, possibly be in the mood for drinking?
"Son."

"I have something to say, but I don't know if I should..."

Zhang Liang asked.

He had a different opinion on how to deal with Xu Lin and Ji Wuye!

"Say!"

Han Fei nodded.

"Young master, I believe that with a formidable enemy at hand, we should set aside past grievances and unite against the common foe."

"After we defeat the enemy, then..."

Zhang Liang said.

He was interrupted by Han Fei before he could finish speaking.

"No!"

"The Qin state's irrigation canals are not yet completed, so it is impossible to send troops out in the short term."

"If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold. Even if Qin sends troops, Zhao and Wei will not stand idly by. Therefore, we should deal with our internal troubles first!"

Han Fei waved his hand.

"Did you hear anything during your trip to Xianyang about when Qin plans to expand eastward?"

Han Fei put down his wine cup and asked.

"It is said that the King of Qin plans to wage war against the six states east of the mountains after the autumn harvest next year."

Zhang Liang replied.

"After next autumn harvest?"

"That's about a year left, that should be enough!"

Han Fei said this as he thought about it.

Then he told Zhang Liang about the 'ghost soldiers robbing the soldiers' and his plan to deal with Nightfall.

Liu Sha has been secretly investigating Xu Lin recently and discovered that Xu Lin is getting very close to Madam Hu from the Zuo Sima Mansion.

Therefore, the vulture, and even Liu Yi, may have died at the hands of Xu Lin.

Xu Lin's entry into Han is most likely aimed at weakening and destroying Han, but before that, he can also be used by the Quicksand!
Once the arrow is released, there's no turning back. Liu Yi and Wujiu are both dead. Now that Xu Lin is getting so close to Madam Hu, will Ji Wuye and the others turn a blind eye?
Han Fei was pleased to see Ji Wuye and Xu Lin become enemies.

With Xu Lin's help, Nightfall will surely be defeated in six months at most!

Thinking of this, Han Fei smiled, took a big gulp of rice wine, and then sent Zhang Liang to carry out the task he had just assigned.

……

That night.

After dinner, Xu Lin rode his horse to Zilan Pavilion.

Upon seeing his old acquaintance Lin'er, Xu Lin went straight to the second floor.

"I wonder if you're here to see Sister Nongyu, or to see our boss's wife?"

Lin'er asked with a charming smile.

"the latter."

Xu Lin answered.

Lin'er nodded slightly, then went to the third floor.

Soon, Zi Nu, dressed in a long purple dress, arrived in front of Xu Lin.

"How has Miss Zi Nu considered the matter of cooperation?"

Xu Lin looked in the direction of the voice and, upon seeing the graceful Zi Nu, asked with a smile.

Although Zi Nu is young, she exudes a mature and sophisticated aura.

And it must be said, purple is indeed very charming!
"I was just about to write to you about this."

The purple-clad woman smiled alluringly.

After speaking, she knelt down opposite Xu Lin and personally poured him a bottle of orchid wine.

Then she leaned forward and handed the wine cup to Xu Lin.

"It's better to discuss these things face-to-face."

Xu Lin took the wine cup and answered with a smile.

Although Zi Nu's breasts weren't as impressive as Madam Hu's, they still looked quite impressive due to the perspective and the effect of the table.

"Yes."

"I choose the first cooperation method: 30% of the profits from Xin Zilan Pavilion will be given to you, sir."

Zi Nu nodded slightly.

"can."

Xu Lin readily agreed.

In his view, no matter which cooperation method Zi Nu chooses, the final outcome will be the same: Zi Nu will become his woman!

When does Miss Zi Nu plan to go to Xianyang?

Xu Lin took a sip of the orchid wine and asked slowly.
