Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 192 Honglian is kidnapped?

Xu Lin lingered at the foot of the mountain, which puzzled Madam Hu.

Seeing that Xu Lin had no intention of going up the mountain, the reserved Madam Hu hesitated to speak.

After half an incense stick's time, Madam Hu, unable to bear it any longer, bit her thin lips and moved down a few inches.

Seeing this, Xu Lin did not cooperate, but deliberately moved down a few inches as well.

This caused the plump Madam Hu to furrow her brows.

Xu Lin is getting worse and worse!
"Madam, you can tell me what you want to do."

Xu Lin suggested loudly.

"I...I want to..."

Mrs. Hu turned her face to the side, looking quite embarrassed.

"What do you want to do?"

Xu Lin asked with a smile.

"Think...think..."

Madam Hu opened her mouth for a long time, but couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Then she used body language to express what she wanted to do.

……

Less than half an hour later.

Madam Hu's brows furrowed tightly; her wish had been fulfilled.

"gentlemen."

"I have heard that the Qin envoy died in Han."

Will Qin send troops to destroy Han because of this?

“I remember you said before that the Qin state has always wanted to expand eastward and unify the world.”

Mrs. Hu gently stroked her disheveled hair and asked.

She was even gentler now than before.

"will not."

"The best strategy is to subdue the enemy without fighting."

"It's not time to destroy Han yet."

Xu Lin shook his head.

Then I wiped the sweat off my body with my clothes.

Upon seeing this, Madam Hu sat up, supported by the soft couch, and gently and virtuously poured Xu Lin a bowl of boiled water.

"Madam, why are you starting to pay attention to national affairs?"

Xu Lin took the teacup and asked curiously.

"The Qin state has already established its dominance, and the Han state is on the verge of collapse. The Han state is definitely no match for the Qin state."

"My main concern is that my younger sister will be implicated."

Madam Hu put down her clothes and answered softly.

Although she was nearly ten years older than Xu Lin, her skin was extremely well-maintained; it was not only fair but also as smooth as water.

“When that day comes, I will take care of your younger sister, so please do not worry, Madam.”

Xu Lin smiled.

Then the task of 'cleaning up the battlefield' was handed over to Madam Hu.

……

The next day.

Xinzheng, Princess's Residence.

After lunch, Honglian and Xijun left the mansion together.

Just like last time, Honglian chose to wear a men's robe on the outside and a long skirt on the inside.

"Just how high do you think Mr. Xu's cultivation level is?"

Honglian blinked her beautiful eyes and asked.

In a chaotic world fraught with danger, she wanted to learn swordsmanship from Xu Lin!

"I don't know."

"But it should be at least at the Grandmaster level."

Xi Jundao, dressed in a light blue dress.

"Above the Grandmaster realm?"

"it is good!"

Honglian's beautiful eyes lit up.

Xu Lin was an important minister of the Qin state. She wanted Xu Lin to teach her swordsmanship, so she couldn't go empty-handed.
Xu Lin is not short of money and does not like drinking, but he does like fish.

With this thought in mind, Honglian decided to catch a few fish to take with her, and then personally stew the fish for Xu Lin.

He felt obligated to help someone who had eaten his food; after eating the fish she cooked, Xu Lin would definitely feel bad refusing!
With that in mind, Honglian and Xijun went to the riverbank.

……

A quarter of an hour later.

Honglian had just caught a fish when she was spotted by the passing Poison King.

"Pure Yin body?"

Upon seeing the Red Lotus, the Hundred Poison King was taken aback.

Using pure Yin blood to refine poisons yields twice the results with half the effort!
After confirming that Honglian's blood was pure Yin, Bai Du Wang took advantage of Xi Jun's inattention and attacked her with a poisonous snake.

It's easy to hide from open guns, but hard to guard against hidden arrows!
Xi Jun only managed to dodge the first two venomous snakes before being bitten on the back by the third.

The toxin spread extremely quickly; within a few breaths, Xijun's lips turned purple.

"Princess, leave quickly!"

Xi Jun braced himself against the ground with his sword and urged him on.

"let's go together!"

Seeing this, Honglian said seriously.

"Walk together?"

"None of you are getting away!"

The King of Poisons, with his full head of white hair, sneered.

Then she opened her arms. Instantly, countless venomous snakes attacked from all directions, surrounding Honglian and Xijun.

“I am a princess, he would not dare to kill me easily.”

"Go and ask Mr. Xu for help immediately!"

After seeing this, Honglian lowered her voice and gave the order.

Before Xijun could reply, she pushed Xijun out.

Xi Jun's poisoning is severe; if she doesn't receive timely treatment, she will most likely die.

Even if the two of them are here, they are no match for the Hundred Poison King. Therefore, it would be better to let Xijun go and ask for help!

Xi Jun hesitated, then drew his sword and fought his way out of the swarm of snakes before riding off to the Xu residence.

Looking at Xi Jun's back, still bleeding, the Hundred Poison King gave a sinister smile, then left with Hong Lian.

……

After a stick of incense.

The King of Poisons arrived at the secret stronghold and imprisoned Red Lotus in the snake pit.

"Nightfall has been looking for us lately, so you'd better stay home as much as possible."

The Corpse-Driving Demon spoke up upon seeing this.

"I know."

"This girl has a pure Yin constitution. Using her to refine poison will not only be twice as effective, but also... you wouldn't understand even if I told you. You'll understand after a while!"

The King of Poisons couldn't hide his excitement.

At this moment, he was unaware that the girl he had just captured was Princess Hong-ryeon of Korea.

……

at the same time.

Xi Jun, pale-faced, arrived at the Xu residence.

Seeing that Xi Jun was pale and breathing was intermittent, Yan Ling Ji immediately helped Xi Jun to the study.

Upon seeing Xu Lin, Xi Jun forced herself to tell him the truth about what had just happened.

After she finished speaking, she drew a picture of the King of Poisons.

As soon as she finished drawing, Xi Jun collapsed into Yan Ling Ji's arms.

"The King of Poisons?"

Why did he capture Honglian?

When Yan Lingji saw that Xi Jun had painted the Hundred Poison King, her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"Now is not the time to think about the reasons."

"Delay will only lead to trouble. Go to the Luo Wang stronghold immediately and search the entire city for Hong Lian with the Luo Wang assassins."

Xu Lin gave the order sternly.

"What about her?"

Yan Lingji pointed at the dying Xi Jun and asked.

"I have a way to save her."

"Just go find Honglian."

Xu Lin said in a deep voice.

"it is good."

Yan Lingji nodded, helped Xi Jun to the soft couch, and then rode off to the Luo Wang stronghold.

After Yan Lingji walked away, Xu Lin activated his inner strength and sealed Xi Jun's meridians.

Then he untied the belt around Xijun's waist and made her lie face down on the soft couch.

To facilitate treatment, he removed his light blue dress, which was stained with a lot of blood.

Then he rolled up the white lining and began to use his internal energy to expel the poison.

……

After a cup of tea.

Xi Jun woke up.

Countless drops of black blood were forced out, but Xi Jun showed no signs of improvement.

Upon seeing this, Xu Lin frowned deeply.

What kind of poison did the King of Poisons use? Why is it ineffective to force out the poisonous blood?

"Sir..."

"Please...please don't save me! The princess has been kidnapped, I deserve this..."

Seeing that Xu Lin's forehead was covered in a lot of fine sweat, Xi Jun weakly advised him.

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

"Do not talk!"

Xu Lin said seriously.

After speaking, he took out the silver needles that Nian Duan had given him earlier from his storage space.

After cleaning it, he heated the tip of the silver needle with fire and then placed it on the wound on Xijun's back.

The moment the silver needle touched the blood at Xijun's wound, it immediately turned black.

After more than ten breaths, the silver needles gradually turned brown.

……

After half a stick of incense.

The silver needles turned back to silver, and Xijun's complexion improved considerably.

"Thank you... Mr. Xie."

"I will never forget your life-saving grace, sir!"

Xi Jun struggled to lift her head, turned to look at Xu Lin, and said solemnly.

"It's just a little effort."

Xu Lin waved his hand.

Then he took a clean piece of clothing from the wardrobe and covered Xijun with it.

It was only then that Xijun realized that her upper body was completely naked.

This made Xijun, whose long hair was tied up high, blush instantly.
