Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 203 Ji Wuye Suspects Mo Ya

After a stick of incense.

Mo Ya returned to his residence.

"Why are you back so late?"

Bai Feng looked in the direction of the sound and asked, puzzled.

He had a youthful and handsome face, with short, neat hair on the left side and long hair on the right side reaching his shoulders. He wore a white sleeveless robe over a dark blue bodysuit, a sky-blue slit-shaped belt, a blue scarf, and a white feather adorning his right shoulder.

"I went to a brothel for a stroll."

Mo Ya lied.

He hadn't decided whether to switch sides to Xu Lin, so he didn't plan to tell Bai Feng about it for the time being.

"You're not a child anymore, when will you come with me?"

Seeing that Bai Feng remained silent, Mo Ya teased.

He and Bai Feng were very close friends.

"I'm not interested in that kind of place."

Bai Feng said with a serious expression.

Then it landed on the ground as lightly as a feather and headed towards the bedroom.

Mo Ya smiled upon hearing this, wrote down what Xu Lin had just said, and then placed it beside his pillow.

……

Six days later.

Xu Mansion, on the outskirts of Xinzheng City.

Xu Lin was resting with his head on Yan Lingji's jade legs when he suddenly received a letter from Gongshu Chou.

"You read it."

Xu Lindao.

After he finished speaking, he asked Yan Lingji to sit back on the soft couch.

After Yan Lingji took her seat, Xu Lin used her jade-like legs as a pillow and her waterfall-like hair as an eye mask, feeling quite comfortable.

Yan Lingji nodded slightly and focused her gaze on the contents of the letter.

After reading it, she put down the letter and placed her hand on Xu Lin's chest.

"Gongshu Chou wrote that Wushuang Gui had recovered and his strength had increased rather than decreased."

"He asked whether to send Wushuang Gui to Xinzheng to assist your benefactor, or to have Wushuang Gui join the army."

Yan Lingji asked while gently stroking the wound.

Although she couldn't beat Xu Lin at chess, she really enjoyed playing with the chess pieces.

"Enlist."

"I don't need that many people."

Xu Lindao.

Yan Lingji nodded and wrote a reply to Gongshu Chou on Xu Lin's behalf.

"benefactor."

"I want to write a letter to my younger brother."

After the messenger had gone far away, Yan Lingji said softly.

"Write it."

"Would I be jealous of your brother?"

Xu Lin teased with a smile.

After he finished speaking, he turned over.

He liked the feeling of suffocation, so he deliberately buried his face in it!
"My benefactor, please wait a moment."

"I……"

Yan Lingji said.

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

Why don't you wait a moment?

Xu Lin asked with a smile.

Once the arrow is released, there's no turning back.

Yan Lingji hesitated upon hearing this, knowing she couldn't win an argument with Xu Lin, so she chose to give up.

After a few breaths, Yan Lingji took a deep breath, sat up straight, tucked her hair behind her ears, and began to write a letter to her younger brother, Yan Lingwei.

Although her younger brother Yan Lingwei was far away in Xianyang, Yan Lingji suddenly acted very gentle and virtuous, completely different from her usual self. This is what it means for an elder sister to act like a mother.

This made Xu Lin's mouth water!

……

That night.

The dwelling of the Black Crow.

Bai Feng discovered the 'diary' written by Mo Ya.

“A good bird chooses a tree to roost in, and a good minister chooses his master to do his work.”

Do you think he is a wise ruler?

Mo Ya looked at Bai Feng and asked seriously.

Since Bai Feng has found out, let's talk it out. Anyway, Bai Feng will find out about this sooner or later!

If he were to switch sides with Xu Lin, he would definitely bring Bai Feng and Ying Ge with him!
"Hard to say."

Bai Feng shook his head.

He has been busy improving his cultivation recently and has not paid much attention to Xu Lin. He only knows that there is such a person, and that the paper and other items seem to be made by this person.

"Do you want to be free?"

Mo Ya pressed for an answer. Although he and Bai Feng were not related by blood, he had always treated Bai Feng like a younger brother!

Bai Feng looks a lot like him from ten years ago.

"of course."

"You do not want it?"

Bai Feng answered without hesitation.

He had wanted to leave Bai Niao for a long time!
"Thinking and doing are two different things."

"It's dark," Mo Ya said in a deep voice.

Because Ji Wuye became increasingly ruthless, often causing him and Bai Feng to indiscriminately kill innocent people, he was very disappointed in Ji Wuye!
Is what he said credible?

Seeing that Mo Ya had stopped speaking, Bai Feng asked expressionlessly.

"No one can stand without faith."

"As the deputy commander of the Qin state's Shadow Guard, he shouldn't go back on his word."

Mo Ya said.

"should?"

Bai Feng frowned.

He doesn't like gambling!
"There are no absolutes."

Mo Ya nodded.

Just how high is his cultivation level?

"Is he truly above Bai Yifei?"

Bai Feng looked in the direction of the sound and saw only a bird flying by. He then asked...

He leaned against the door, looking carefree and unrestrained.

"He is most likely above Bai Yifei."

Mo Ya nodded.

Then he told Bai Feng about Xu Lin's "condensing water into a sword" and "controlling the sword with qi".

Condensing water into a sword and controlling the sword with qi are not the most crucial aspects. The most important thing is that Xu Lin's speed in controlling the sword with qi is extremely fast, and the water sword is almost tangible!

Bai Feng's pupils trembled slightly after hearing this.

If what Mo Ya said is true, then even if Xu Lin is not a Grandmaster, he is already infinitely close to being a Grandmaster!
But Xu Lin is only in his early twenties, not much older than him?
How did Xu Lin manage to be so young yet possess such a high level of cultivation?
What are your thoughts on this?

Bai Feng crossed her arms and asked.

As far as he knew, Xu Lin was not only highly skilled and handsome, but also adept at invention and lecherous.

"Nanyang has been lost, and the state of Han exists in name only. Its destruction is only a matter of time."

"Months later, South Korea will be gone, but will the night still remain?"

"Therefore, switching to Xu Lin at this time might be the best option."

Mo Ya analyzed.

He recently researched a lot of information about Xu Lin and found that Xu Lin treated his subordinates well.

For example, Li Si was recommended to the King of Qin by Xu Lin, and now Li Si has become one of the Nine Ministers, the Minister of Justice.

Mo Ya was more worried about Ying Ge, who was the leader of all birds and of the same rank as him. Although her figure and temperament were not as good as Yan Ling Ji's, she was still one in a thousand.

Mo Ya is in charge of the bird killers in South Korea, while Ying Ge is responsible for intelligence in the six countries.

At this time, Parrot Song and Black Crow did not yet like each other; they were just friends.

After a moment's thought, Mo Ya wrote a letter to Ying Ge. In the letter, he did not mention that he had switched allegiance to Xu Lin, but only said that he hoped Ying Ge could return to Xinzheng soon so that he could discuss important matters with her.

Bai Feng and Ying Ge are Mo Ya's only two friends.

If Mo Ya were to switch allegiance to Xu Lin, he would bring Bai Feng and Ying Ge with him!
……

The next day.

The night is getting darker.

Xinzheng, the General's Mansion.

The man in the straw raincoat lowered the brim of his hat and slowly entered the general's mansion.

He was wrapped up very tightly, with only his hands showing.

Upon learning that the man in the straw raincoat was requesting an audience, Ji Wuye raised his thick eyebrows and immediately dismissed his attendants.

The man in the straw raincoat rarely visits the general's mansion; the last time he came was last year.

Any new information?

Ji Wuye asked expectantly.

People in straw raincoats usually write letters; if they come in person, it must be something important!
"Xu Zhengchun is Xu Lin."

The traveler in the straw raincoat said.

Then he took out a stack of draft paper from his sleeve and handed it to Ji Wuye.

The paper explained why Xu Zhengchun was Xu Lin.

Ji Wuye was not too surprised by this, or rather, he didn't care much about it. Whether the person living in the suburbs was Xu Zhengchun or Xu Lin, what did it have to do with him?

He had no intention of becoming an enemy of the Qin state.

"There is another matter, which concerns the leader of all birds, the Black Crow."

“A few nights ago, Mo Ya went to the Xu residence.”

The man in the straw raincoat spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Upon hearing this, Ji Wuye, with his thick, lance-like eyebrows, was first taken aback, then shocked, his eyes widening like copper bells.

Did Mo Ya go to the Xu residence a few nights ago?
What was he doing at the Xu residence?

Switch to Xu Lin?
