Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 194 Zi Nu Requests an Audience? Yan Ling Ji Takes the Opportunity to Harass Xu Lin!
"It's nothing serious."

Xu Lin answered.

Then, he secretly had assassins from the Luo Wang organization escort Honglian back to the princess's residence.

Upon seeing Honglian in the distance, Xijun breathed a sigh of relief.

"Princess, are you okay?"

Xi Jun quickly stepped forward and asked respectfully.

"fine."

Honglian shook her head.

Then he raised his hand and pointed to Xijun's back.

"Your injury..."

Honglian asked.

Before she could finish speaking, Xijun interrupted her.

"I'm fine too."

Xi Jun said.

Seeing that Xi Jun looked well and didn't seem to be lying, Hong Lian nodded.

Then I ate something quick and went to the bathhouse.

……

After a stick of incense.

Honglian called Xijun to the study.

"What did Mr. Xu say after he learned that I had been kidnapped?"

Honglian asked curiously.

"Upon learning of this, Mr. Xu immediately dispatched Yan Lingji to the Luo Wang stronghold."

"Then he said that the one who kidnapped you, Princess, was probably a subordinate of Tianze, the former crown prince of Baiyue."

"then……"

Xi Jun told him the truth.

She chose to gloss over the fact that Xu Lin saved her.

After listening, a look of satisfaction flashed in Honglian's beautiful eyes.

"Princess."

"Your imprisonment is entirely my fault!"

"Your subordinate is willing to accept punishment!"

Xi Jun suddenly knelt down on one knee.

"It's not entirely your fault."

"The enemy is in the dark while we are in the light; it is hard to guard against a hidden arrow."

Honglian waved her hand.

Then they helped Xijun up and told her to behave well in the future to atone for her sins.

"promise!"

Xi Jun immediately accepted the order, patting her chest and promising that she would never let such a thing happen a second time.

Then he turned and left the study.

After leaving the study, she did not return to her bedroom, but went to the backyard to practice her sword.

Her cultivation level is not high enough. If she were like Xu Lin, would the Hundred Poison King have been able to successfully launch a sneak attack?

While practicing her swordplay, Xijun recalled the scene when Xu Lin saved her.

At that time, Xu Lin's eyes were clear and bright; he was truly a gentleman!
Why do people say that Xu Lin is a womanizer?

Is it because her figure isn't good enough that Xu Lin isn't interested?

Thinking of this, Xijun looked down at her heavy breasts and long legs.

Although she came from a poor background, she had a good figure.

Perhaps the world has misjudged Xu Lin.

With this thought in mind, Xi Jun felt even more admiration for Xu Lin.

……

The next day.

Three poles in the sun.

Zi Nu returned to Xinzheng.

After arriving in Xinzheng, Zi Nu did not return to Zi Lan Xuan, but went directly to the Xu residence.

Xu Lin had just finished eating.

Boom boom boom!
Zi Nu looked around and gently knocked on the wooden door a few times.

Upon hearing the sound, Yan Lingji frowned slightly, then quickly stepped forward and opened the wooden door.

Is Mr. Xu home?

Upon seeing Yan Lingji, Zi Nu asked softly.

Yan Lingji nodded and pointed to the study.

"Thank you!"

The woman in purple parted her thin lips slightly.

After saying that, she swayed her hips and walked towards Xu Lin.

"Miss Zi Nu?"

"You are finally back."

"If you don't come back soon, I'm afraid the State of Han will become a prefecture of the State of Qin!"

Xu Lin looked in the direction of the sound and said sarcastically.

"The Qin state's irrigation canals are not yet completed, so they probably won't send troops to destroy Han so soon, right?"

Zi Nu rested her hand on her slender waist, her eyes filled with a charming smile.

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

"Destroying Han does not necessarily require a large-scale military invasion."

Xu Lin said loudly.

Then he raised his hand and pointed to the cushion, inviting Zi Nu to sit down and talk.

Zi Nu readily agreed, lifted her skirt, and knelt down beside Xu Lin.

Although spring is approaching, Zi Nu is still wearing very thick clothes.

"Does Miss Zi Nu feel cold?"

Seeing this, Xu Lin casually asked.

"There are some."

“I was born in the twelfth lunar month, and my family was poor, so…”

Zi Nu nodded slightly.

Xu Lin suddenly realized and lit the stove. "Did Miss Zi Nu's trip to Xianyang go smoothly?"

Xu Lin leaned back and asked slowly.

"Thanks to you, sir, everything went smoothly."

Zi Nu smiled seductively.

After saying that, she took out a piece of rough paper from her bosom and placed it on the table.

The paper depicts Xianyang, and Zi Nu circled three locations on the outskirts of the city with her brush.

Why are they all located in the suburbs?

"Is it because it's too expensive in the city?"

Xu Lin asked as he looked at it.

"The high price is one of the reasons."

"There are two other reasons."

"One is that traffic jams are common in the city."

"Another reason is that I believe good wine needs no bush."

Zi Nu explained seriously.

She prefers the suburbs to the city.

Land prices are cheap in the suburbs, and parking is convenient.

"Makes sense."

Xu Lin nodded in agreement.

Then he took out the Shadow Guard token from his pocket and handed it to Zi Nu.

Zi Nu was flattered and surprised to see this.

"Here you go, take it."

"The Qin Dynasty is founded on law. Logically speaking, no one would make things difficult for you if you opened a brothel in Xianyang. But you can't be too afraid of the unexpected."

Xu Lin said gently.

"This token will not only deter people from making things difficult for you, but it will also make your efforts twice as effective."

Xu Lin added with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Zi Nu smiled charmingly and put Xu Lin's Shadow Guard token into her bosom.

Since Xu Lin had said so, how could she refuse?

"According to the people of Xianyang, you don't like to be high-profile, sir."

"Why did you give the Shadow Guard token to my concubine today?"

Zi Nu blinked her beautiful eyes and asked.

As soon as she finished speaking, she personally poured Xu Lin a bowl of hot tea.

"Isn't Madam asking a question she already knows the answer to?"

"My dislike of being high-profile and my dislike of taking initiative vary from person to person."

Xu Lindao.

He called Zi Nu "Madam" because Zi Nu referred to herself as "concubine".

"Sir, your words are so eloquent, I am ashamed to admit my inferiority!"

Zi Nu admitted defeat.

……

After half a stick of incense.

Zi Nu suddenly stood up, wanting to return to Zi Lan Xuan.

She had only taken two steps when Xu Lin called her back.

"Wait a moment."

"I suddenly remembered something."

Xu Lin spoke up.

"Sir, please speak."

Zi Nu was taken aback upon hearing this, and then stopped.

"Using one's looks to please others is not a long-term solution."

"Since we're moving to Xianyang, why not turn Zilan Pavilion into a theater or a tavern?"

"The taste of the orchid wine is absolutely superb. Even though I don't like drinking, I can't help but have a couple of bottles every time I go to Zilanxuan."

Xu Lin suggested.

Upon hearing this, the woman with her purple hair piled high frowned deeply.

“What you say makes sense.”

"But this matter is of great importance. May I have the opportunity to consider it..."

After a moment's thought, Zi Nu said.

She was interrupted by Xu Lin just before she finished speaking.

"Of course!"

"But delay could lead to unforeseen changes. Didn't you just say that Yu'er and the others don't yet know that you've returned to Xinzheng?"

"Then why don't you just consider it at my residence?"

Xu Lindao.

After saying this, he asked Yan Lingji to tidy up Zi Nu's room.

"This...this isn't appropriate, is it?"

Upon seeing this, Zi Nu frowned deeply.

She's not married yet, so what's the deal with her living in the Xu residence?

Xu Lin's lecherousness is common knowledge. What if he sneaks up on her while she's asleep in the middle of the night?
"What's wrong?"

Xu Lin smiled.

"There's no rush, is there?"

Zi Nu asked.

"Li Si has been ordered to enter Han. After Li Si arrives in Xinzheng and meets the King of Han, Han will exist in name only."

"Therefore, Miss Zi Nu, you must make a decision as soon as possible!"

Xu Lin said in a deep voice.

After saying this, he drank the water in the cup in one gulp, patted Zi Nu's fragrant shoulder a few times to urge her to think quickly, and then strode towards the bedroom.

……

That night.

Xu Lin was resting with his head on Yan Lingji's jade legs when someone suddenly knocked on the wooden door.

Upon hearing the noise, Yan Lingji, dressed in light clothing, not only did not open the door, but also hid under the quilt and began to 'take a bite'.
