Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 193 Honglian pledges herself to him
"The princess was kidnapped, it's all my fault..."

After a few breaths, Xijun crossed her arms across her chest and said seriously.

Now is not the time to be shy!
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Xu Lin.

"Now is not the time to blame yourself."

Xu Lindao.

Xi Jun nodded, indicating his willingness to atone for his sins through meritorious service.

"You should rest first."

"This is a matter of great importance; we must not rush it."

Xu Lin said as he thought.

After speaking, he put his hands behind his back and left the study.

Watching Xu Lin walk further and further away, Xi Jun, her cheeks flushed, hesitated to speak.

After Xu Lin disappeared from sight, Xi Jun turned to the side with difficulty and covered her chest with her clothes.

……

More than an hour later.

The setting sun is like blood.

Xi Jun coughed lightly twice and sat up, leaning on the soft couch.

Although the wound still hurts a lot, she feels like she can walk now.

So she put on Xu Lin's clothes and got off the soft couch.

Then she tucked her messy black hair behind her ear and slowly walked towards the wooden door.

Squeak.

The wooden door opened in response.

Xu Lin was sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, pondering how to save Honglian.

Upon seeing Xi Jun, Xu Lin's brows furrowed slightly.

"Do you need to use the restroom?"

Xu Lin asked in confusion.

"No."

"I can get out of bed and walk now."

Xi Jun shook his head repeatedly.

After saying that, she walked towards Xu Lin, pretending to be relaxed.

He then bowed deeply to express his gratitude.

If Xu Lin hadn't intervened to save her, she would most likely be dead!
"No need to be so formal."

Xu Lin helped Xi Jun up.

Then Xijun sat down next to him.

"This man is called the King of Poisons, and he is a subordinate of Tianze, the former crown prince of Baiyue."

"Yan Lingji and he were old acquaintances. According to Yan Lingji, this Hundred Poison King is not a lecherous man."

"Therefore, the King of Poisons most likely intends to use the Red Lotus to refine poison, or use it as leverage to deal with Nightfall and King Han."

"So, you don't need to worry too much about Honglian for now."

Seeing Xi Jun looking worried, Xu Lin spoke up.

It's understandable to be worried about Honglian being kidnapped, but that shouldn't cloud your judgment!

Xi Jun nodded vigorously.

"gentlemen."

"I wonder what I can do next?"

Xi Jun blinked her bright, clear eyes and asked.

She wanted to atone for her sins!

"The matter of Honglian's abduction should not be made public."

"If this gets to Han Fei or the King of Han's ears, it will become very troublesome."

"Now that you're able to stay here, go back to the princess's residence and tell the guards there not to spread rumors."

Xu Lin said as he thought.

"it is good!"

Xi Jun immediately accepted the order.

Then, enduring the pain, he quickly left the place.

……

The next day.

Twilight Quadruple.

Xu Lin had just finished dinner when he received Qian Sha's letter.

In his letter, Qian Sha said that he had discovered the Hundred Poison King and the Red Lotus in the western suburbs of Xinzheng.

After reading the letter, Xu Lin immediately went to the western suburbs with Yan Lingji.

Before long, Xu Lin and Yan Lingji arrived at the remote western suburbs.

A dozen or so assassins from the Luo Wang organization hid on either side of the exit, their faces covered with black cloths, blending into the night.

"Deputy Commander Xu."

"The King of Poisons and Princess Red Lotus are still inside."

Following the sound, the leader of the Luo Wang assassins stepped forward and respectfully greeted Xu Lin.

Xu Lin nodded and walked straight into the snake pit.

Outside the snake cave was a large open space with a kettle, a cauldron, and some unburnt firewood on the ground.

"Wait for me outside."

Xu Lin turned to look at Yan Lingji and said seriously.

He is not a bloodthirsty person, but the King of Poisons must die!

He kidnapped his woman, and he wants to live?
Yan Lingji nodded, crossed her arms, and looked around warily.

Xu Lin strode towards the snake pit.

boom!
A sharp sword aura swept out, and the iron gate swung open! The Hundred Poison King, who was preparing a prescription in the snake pit, frowned slightly upon hearing the sound, then put down the prescription in his hand and walked towards the iron gate.

Soon, he saw Xu Lin.

Honglian was being watched by several venomous snakes in the cave, so she didn't know that the person who came was Xu Lin.

"Who are you?"

"The King of Poisons asked with a gloomy face."

His intuition told him that the person who came was not good.

Therefore, before he had even finished speaking, he had summoned all the venomous snakes in the vicinity.

"Do you frequently use people to make poison?"

Xu Lin stood with his sword in hand and asked in a cold voice.

The King of Poisons was taken aback upon hearing this.

Clearly, the person who came knew him very well.

But this was the first time he had met Xu Lin, so he didn't find Xu Lin familiar.

Seeing that the King of Poisons remained silent, Xu Lin darted to the King of Poisons like a wisp of smoke and thrust his sword into the King of Poisons' left chest.

His sword strike looked ordinary, not very fast, and didn't gather much sword energy, but the Hundred Poison King just couldn't dodge it!

puff!

The longsword pierced the chest of the Hundred Poison King with a resounding clang.

"this?"

"How……"

The King of Poisons looked down at the long sword piercing his chest, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Then he put his hand into his sleeve, intending to slit the medicine pouch and perish together with Xu Lin.

His medicine bag was full of deadly poisons.

Upon seeing this, Xu Lin immediately drew his sword and severed the Hundred Poison King's right hand and head.

With a muffled thud, the corpse of the Hundred Poison King fell to the ground!
After easily defeating the Hundred Poison King, Xu Lin followed the sound and headed into the cave.

Soon, he saw Honglian huddled in the corner.

Upon seeing Xu Lin, the venomous snake responsible for monitoring Honglian flicked its tongue nervously before fleeing the area at top speed.

Xu Lin was surrounded by true energy, and these poisonous snakes dared not oppose him!

"Mr. Xu?"

"You're finally here!"

Honglian was overjoyed to see Xu Lin.

Before she finished speaking, she ran to Xu Lin and threw herself into his arms.

"Are you OK?"

Xu Lin gently stroked Honglian's back and asked.

"fine."

Honglian shook her little head like a rattle drum.

Then he released Xu Lin, took two steps back, and spun around a few times in place.

Xu Lin possessed unparalleled talent; she knew he would come to save her!
"I have no way to repay your life-saving grace, sir."

"After Ji Wuye dies, I will... I will give it to you, sir."

Honglian gently bit her cherry lips and whispered.

After saying that, she tiptoed and, taking advantage of Xu Lin's inattention, 'pecked' at Xu Lin's left cheek like a chick pecking at rice.

"What if your ninth brother and father disagree?"

Xu Lin teased.

"As long as I agree!"

Honglian placed her hands on her waist and lifted her increasingly full breasts.

Then, she took Xu Lin's arm and left the snake pit.

Upon seeing the corpse of the Hundred Poison King, Honglian kicked him several times.

"gentlemen."

"I want to learn swordsmanship from you."

"In this era of great strife and lurking dangers, I must protect myself!"

Honglian said with a serious expression.

"it is good."

Xu Lin readily agreed.

Although he was a womanizer, he did not like 'pretty faces'.

Upon hearing this, Honglian was overjoyed. Just as she was about to kiss Xu Lin again, she caught a glimpse of Yan Lingji out of the corner of her eye.

Upon seeing Yan Lingji, Honglian hesitated for a moment, then slowly released Xu Lin's arm.

"Speed ​​is of the essence in war. Sir, could you teach me swordsmanship tonight?"

Honglian blinked her beautiful eyes and asked.

Because Xu Lin saved her today, she likes Xu Lin even more!

"There is ample time."

"If you don't go back soon, your ninth brother and father will probably find out you've been kidnapped!"

Xu Lin said gently.

"Ok."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Honglian's eyes.

Then he kicked the small stone in front of him away.

"Yes, sir."

"Is Xijun alright?"

After a few breaths, Honglian asked urgently.
