Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 2: Li Wu is nervous
"Who is Lü Buwei?"

"I don't know her."

After thinking for a moment, Li Wu immediately denied it.

Although she often lies, this matter involves the truth, so her eyes are a little evasive.

"Lü Buwei was the prime minister of Qin and the master of the Luowang."

"You really don't know Lü Buwei?"

Xu Lin asked with a smile.

"do not know."

Li Wu shook her head.

"It's better if you really don't know Lü Buwei."

"I'm not a narrow-minded person. I can let bygones be bygones."

"But from today on, if you dare to betray me, I will make it difficult for you to even beg for death."

Xu Lin reminded him with a cold voice.

When Li Wu heard the words "it's hard to even die", her heart skipped a beat again.

Although her cultivation level was not low, she was obviously no match for Xu Lin.

After a moment's hesitation, she forced a smile and patted her heavy chest to express that she would never betray.

Xu Lin looked satisfied when he saw this, and then asked Li Wu to continue cooking.

……

the other side.

Xianyang, Qin State, the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The sudden rain had just stopped, and Lu Buwei, dressed in a purple brocade robe, was reviewing memorials in his study.

Because Ying Zheng had not yet been crowned and assumed power, most of the memorials were reviewed by Lu Buwei.

After more than ten breaths, Lu Qian, who was over thirty years old, walked quickly towards Lu Buwei.

He was Lu Buwei's cousin and confidant, and was specifically responsible for the affairs of Liwu and Xulin.

"how?"

Lu Buwei looked in the direction of the voice and asked expressionlessly after seeing Lu Qian.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qian said nothing and waved his sleeves to send his attendants away.

This is a serious matter and must not be heard by the maids.

There are undercover agents sent by Lu Buwei in the Qin Palace, but there are no undercover agents sent by Ying Zheng in the Prime Minister's Mansion?

It is better to be safe than sorry. Lu Qian was a very cautious person.

"Li Wu has moved into the Xu Mansion."

After the maids walked away, Lu Qian stepped forward and reported respectfully.

When Lu Buwei heard this, he looked satisfied.

In his opinion, Xu Lin was more difficult to deal with than Chang'an Jun Chengjiao.

Chang'an Jun Chengjiao only has a noble status, and he cannot compare to Xu Lin in terms of cultivation or intelligence.

Recently, Ying Zheng has been increasingly placing importance on the Shadow Guards, so Xu Linliu is a big threat.

"Hurry is not enough."

"Let Li Wu not be anxious and don't alert the enemy."

Lu Buwei said seriously.

"promise!"

Lu Qian immediately accepted the order.

Then he turned and left the prime minister's residence.

After Lu Qian disappeared from his sight, Lu Buwei suddenly stood up, put his hands behind his back, walked slowly to the bamboo window, and looked in the direction of Xu Mansion.

Xu Lin is young, but his cultivation is unfathomable. He is a rare talent. If we can use him, there is no need to worry about not achieving great things.

It was for this reason that he asked Li Wu to approach Xu Lin instead of letting the Luowang killer kill Xu Lin directly.

If Xu Lin can really be used by him, what does it matter even if Li Wu is given to Xu Lin?
Lu Buwei liked to give women as gifts. In his opinion, women were like clothes. More than 20 years ago in Handan, Zhao State, he gave Zhao Ji to Ying Yiren.

If he had not given Zhao Ji to Ying Yiren, how could he be in this situation today?

"He who knows the current affairs is a hero."

"I hope you won't disappoint me."

Lu Buwei said to himself.

……

Three days later.

Xu Lin took a rest again.

After returning home, he gave the dirty clothes to Li Wu.

Li Wu was angry but dared not say anything.

"How old are you?"

Xu Lin leaned against the ancient tree in the courtyard, watching Li Wu wash clothes and asked.

Li Wu now looks less charming and more immature than in the anime.

"I am only twenty-eight years old."

Li Wu looked up at Xu Lin and told him the truth.

Xu Lin's eyes were deep, as if he could see through people's hearts, so she didn't dare to lie casually.

"You don't know martial arts?"

Xu Lin nodded and continued asking.

"I know a little." "Born in troubled times, if I didn't know any martial arts, how could I have survived to this day?"

Li Wu smiled sweetly and asked back.

The reason why she called herself "concubine" was to get closer to Xu Lin.

Obviously, Xu Lin began to doubt her again.

"Do you believe in coincidences?"

Xu Lin nodded and continued asking.

"coincide?"

"Sir, do you not believe that our meeting a few days ago was a coincidence?"

Li Wu frowned.

"Do not believe."

"How could there be such a coincidence in the world?"

Xu Lin shook his head.

"What do I need to do, sir, to convince you that I am not a spy and do not know Lü Buwei?"

Li Wu pretended to be angry.

She didn't expect Xu Lin to be so vigilant and still suspect her until now!

"It's very simple."

"If you eat this, I will believe you."

Xu Lin took out a medicine bottle from his arms, poured out a Three Corpses Brain Pill from it, and handed it to Li Wu.

"What is this?"

Li Wu wiped her hands dry with the silk cloth beside her, took the Three Corpses Brain Pill with both hands, and asked in confusion.

"It proves that you are not a spy."

"You'll know if he's a spy once you eat him."

Xu Lin smiled and explained.

When Li Wu heard this, her brows furrowed.

It seemed that there were two paths before her, but in fact there was only one path. If she didn't eat, Xu Lin would definitely be more suspicious of her, so she had no choice but to eat.

She had never heard that Xu Lin could make poison, so she thought this pill shouldn't be too powerful.

Thinking of this, Li Wu opened her thin lips slightly and put the Three Corpses Brain Pill into her mouth.

The elixir melts in your mouth.

"Now, sir, do you believe it?"

After more than ten breaths, Li Wu asked with her beautiful eyes blinking.

After taking the Three Corpses Brain Pill, she didn't feel anything unusual.

Xu Lin nodded and smiled as he told Li Wu about the effects of the Sanshi Brain Pill.

After hearing this, Li Wu's beautiful eyes trembled.

How could there be such a poisonous medicine in the world?
Before May every year, if you don't take relief medicine, the corpse worms will break out. Once they enter the brain, those who take this medicine will move like ghosts and monsters, and may even bite and eat their parents and wife?

If she had known that this medicine was so poisonous, she would never have taken it!
Now that she has taken this medicine, hasn't she become a pawn in Xu Lin's hands?

If she dared to disobey Xu Lin's orders, Xu Lin would withhold the medicine to relieve her symptoms. In that case, she would be afraid that she would even be unable to die!

When she thought of this, Li Wu gritted her teeth.

Xu Lin looks like a gentleman, so how could he be so vicious in his actions?
"Angry?"

Xu Lin asked loudly when he saw Li Wuqi's chest heaving violently.

"No."

"You gave me my life, sir. How could I be angry about this?"

Li Wu forced a smile and denied it immediately.

Although she said this, she actually hated Xu Lin in her heart.

Because from today on, she is Xu Lin's 'slave'!

If Lu Buwei knew about this, would he let her go?

Thinking of this, Li Wu suddenly felt a headache.

Xu Lin is not easy to mess with, and neither is Lu Buwei.

If she had known this, she shouldn't have volunteered to approach Xu Lin!
Before coming, she thought Xu Lin was easy to control.

At first, when Lu Buwei said that Xu Lin was more troublesome than Chang'an Jun Chengjiao, she didn't believe it. Now she believes it, but it's too late!
"That's good."

"As long as you behave well from now on, I will give you relief medicine before May every year."

Xu Lin took a few steps forward, patted Li Wu's shoulders lightly, and spoke.

After saying this, he put his hands behind his back and strode towards the bedroom.

It was getting late, and he should take a nap.

……

That night.

Xu Lin had just finished his meal when he suddenly heard a strange bird cry outside the window.

The birds' calls were so loud that they sounded like secret codes.

Li Wu, who was kneeling opposite Xu Lin, felt very uncomfortable when she heard this. This was the secret signal she had agreed upon with Lu Qian before she came.

If Xu Lin found out, given his personality, he would strip her naked, hang her up and beat her, making it difficult for her to even beg for death?
"Is this the code you agreed upon?"

Seeing Li Wu's nervous expression, Xu Lin asked slowly.
