Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 196 Peerless Ghost Severely Injured, Tianze Dies

"exist."

Yan Lingji nodded.

Then she raised her fair wrist and pointed to the study.

Following the direction Yan Lingji pointed, Li Si saw Xu Lin and immediately bowed and walked towards him.

"I have met you, sir!"

Li Si bowed respectfully.

"It doesn't have to be this way."

Xu Lin waved his hand.

Then he had Li Si sit opposite him.

"Just arrived in Xinzheng?"

Xu Lin asked.

"Yes."

Li Si nodded.

After speaking, he picked up the teapot and personally poured Xu Lin a bowl of boiled water.

If it weren't for Xu Lin, he wouldn't be where he is today.
"I heard you've been promoted to the position of Court Minister, one of the Nine Ministers?"

Xu Lin took the tea bowl and asked with a smile.

"Yes."

"Thanks to you, sir."

Li Si nodded and complimented him.

……

After a cup of tea.

Seeing that Li Si was rambling on and not getting to the point, Xu Lin took the initiative to change the subject to his mission to South Korea.

"This is your first time traveling to another country since you were promoted to Minister of Justice. Are you confident?"

Xu Lin asked seriously.

Although he and Li Si were of similar age, he was the one who recommended Li Si, so they had a relationship that was both teacher and friend.

"Have!"

"But I remember you once said that we should be cautious in our actions."

"Therefore, I am unsure what precautions I should take, and I hope you can offer some guidance."

Li Si said very respectfully.

“You have the Qin Dynasty behind you, so there’s no need to argue with Han Fei or Zhang Kai when you get to the Han King’s Palace.”

"Whether it's the matter of exhausting Qin or the assassination of the Qin envoy, these are facts."

Xu Lin said in a deep voice.

"promise!"

"Sir's words have cleared away the clouds and enlightened me!"

Upon hearing this, Li Si suddenly realized what was going on.

Although he was skilled in debate, he was slightly inferior to Han Fei.

On the way here, he was still worried that he would lose to Han Fei and cause the Qin Dynasty to suffer a loss.

Xu Lin's words made Li Si realize that he didn't need to argue with Han Fei at all!
Even if Han Fei was eloquent, the fact remains that Qin was exhausted and the Qin envoy was assassinated. He didn't come to debate with Han Fei, but to question him!

How is the Xianyang Academy doing lately?

After drinking the boiled water in the bowl, Xu Lin changed the subject again.

Although Li Si's talent was slightly inferior to Han Fei's, he was enough to control the King of Han!

"very good."

“The Confucianists, the Yin-Yang School, the Taoist Tianzong School, and the School of Names have all sent people.”

Li Si answered truthfully.

Upon hearing this, Xu Lin nodded in satisfaction.

"gentlemen."

"It's getting late, so I won't bother you any longer."

After faintly hearing the sound of chopping vegetables, Li Si spoke up.

After speaking, he bowed and withdrew.

……

The next day.

The White-Armored Army discovered the Peerless Ghost in the suburbs of Xinzheng.

After confirming that the other party was Wushuang Gui, the centurion immediately informed Bai Yifei.

After learning about this, Bai Yifei went to the scene in person.

Wushuang Gui was eating roasted mutton at that moment.

The Peerless Ghost was over ten feet tall, fierce and brutal, with a terrifying appearance. It possessed superhuman strength and skin as hard as armor, making it impervious to ordinary swords and knives.

The chains on his body were neither weapons nor for show; they were because he was so strong that he often lost control, and he needed to use the chains to lock himself in for safety.

"Even at this hour, you still have such a good appetite."

Bai Yifei sneered upon seeing this.

After speaking, he slowly drew the red sword from his waist.

He had two swords at his waist, a red one and a white one. The red sword was enough to deal with the Peerless Ghost.

Where is Tianze?

Bai Yifei asked calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, an ice pillar resembling a vine shot up from the ground, transporting him to Wushuang Gui's front. Bai Yifei was not as tall as Wushuang Gui, but because the ice pillar was several people tall, Bai Yifei was now looking down at Wushuang Gui from a superior position.

Bai Yifei liked to look down on others from a superior position.

Wushuang Gui remained silent upon hearing this, threw the leftover mutton on the ground, clenched his fist, and attacked Bai Yifei.

Bai Yifei smiled upon seeing this and easily dodged Wushuang Gui's attack.

Then, channeling his inner strength, he unleashed several extremely cold sword energies at Wushuang Gui.

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Wushuang Gui was completely defeated.

After a moment's hesitation, Bai Yifei struck Wushuang Gui several dozen steps away with a single sword strike, then rode away on horseback.

The reason he didn't kill Wushuang Gui was because he needed Wushuang Gui to find Tianze.

……

Less than half an hour later.

Covered in blood, Wushuang Gui limped up to Tianze.

Seeing that Wushuang Gui was badly injured, Tianze not only showed no concern, but also looked disgusted.

After leaving the Snow Robe Fort dungeon, he gathered his old subordinates, including Wushuang Ghost, Corpse Driving Demon, and Hundred Poison King. The three of them combined their influence to bring him to Xinzheng.

Now that the King of Poisons is dead and Wushuang Gui is seriously injured, how can he take revenge?

The severely injured Wushuang Gui made Tianze feel like a stray dog!
"Who hurt you?"

After a long while, Tianze asked with a displeased expression.

Before Wushuang Gui could answer, a thunderous sound of horses' hooves rang out.

Bai Yifei personally led nearly a thousand white-armored soldiers to surround Tianze.

Only now did the simple-minded Wushuang Gui understand why Bai Yifei, who could have killed him, did not.

Seeing that Wushuang Gui both hated and feared Bai Yifei, Tianze instantly understood what was going on!

"Incompetent bungler!"

What use are you to me?

Tianze said irritably.

After saying that, he looked up at Bai Yifei.

"Did you send someone to kill the Qin envoy?"

Bai Yifei asked in a cold voice.

"So what?"

Tianze retorted with a mocking smile.

Bai Yifei is the person he hates the most!

During his years of imprisonment, he was subjected to various poisons, making his life a living hell!

"What I need are loyal dogs, not disobedient mad dogs."

Bai Yifei's voice was indifferent.

No sooner had he finished speaking than he drew his sword and attacked Tianze.

In his view, once is never twice.

He had given Tianze a chance, but Tianze not only disobeyed his orders, but also took it upon himself to kill the Qin envoy.

Even if a disobedient dog is good at biting, there's no need to keep it!
……

After half a stick of incense.

Before everyone's eyes, Bai Yifei personally killed Tianze.

After piercing Tianze's chest, Bai Yifei severed Tianze's head and threw it into a pre-prepared wooden box.

Tianze was no match for Bai Yifei to begin with, not to mention that Tianze was also poisoned by Gu.

After killing Tianze, Bai Yifei rode his horse to the Han King's Palace.

It is said that the new Qin envoy has just arrived in Xinzheng, so it is still not too late to present Tianze's head!

Before long, Bai Yifei met Han Wang An as he had wished.

Upon seeing Tianze's head, King Han was taken aback.

"The old prince of Baiyue?"

"Wasn't he already dead?"

Han Wang An asked, unable to hide his shock.

"He may have faked his death."

"I have confirmed that the Qin envoy died at his hands!"

Bai Yifei answered neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"suspended animation?"

"The Baiyue War happened so many years ago, how could he..."

Han Wang An frowned.

He was interrupted by Bai Yifei before he could finish speaking.

"Your Majesty."

"The key point is that the murderer who killed the Qin envoy has been caught."

Bai Yifei reminded him with a smile.

"Yes."

"You are right, my dear minister!"

King Han An nodded vigorously upon hearing this.

Then he rewarded Bai Yifei with a thousand gold pieces.
