Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 217 Han Wang An wants Honglian to marry Ji Wuye?
"Yes."

"Not only have many Net assassins appeared, but also Shadow Guard assassins."

The eunuch answered respectfully.

"Shadow Guard assassin?"

"The Shadow Guard that Xu Lin was with?"

King Han frowned.

Then he picked up a handkerchief from the side, held it to his mouth, and coughed a few times.

After Nanyang changed hands, his health deteriorated day by day. He often felt tired and lost interest in everything.

He hadn't been to the Pearl Hall for a long time, and he rarely went to the Hundred Fragrance Hall either.

"Correct."

"Xu Lin is the deputy leader of the Shadow Guard."

The eunuch nodded.

"I remember that Prime Minister Zhang said before that the Shadow Guard is specifically responsible for the internal affairs of the Qin state."

"What is the purpose of the sudden large-scale arrival of Shadow Guard assassins in Xinzheng?"

"You want to seize Xinzheng as well as Qin?"

Han Wang An put on a stern face.

Then they sent someone to bring Honglian over.

Honglian is indeed his precious daughter, but now that Korea is in danger of national extinction, he has no choice.

……

After a stick of incense.

Honglian, dressed in a long pink dress, arrived at the Han King's Palace.

"Greetings, Father!"

Honglian bowed slightly.

Before Han Wang'an could reply, she quickly walked towards him.

King Han An was not angry when he saw this, but waved his sleeve and dismissed his attendants.

"You seem happy?"

"Tell your father if you have any happy news lately."

After the guards had gone some distance, King Han An made a suggestion.

"I've recently started learning swordsmanship."

Honglian smiled sweetly.

After speaking, she knelt down in front of the table, took out a can of tea from under the table, and began to brew tea.

Because of her fondness for tea, she also developed a liking for it.

"Learn sword?"

"Why would a girl like you learn swordsmanship?"

King Han looked puzzled.

"I learned swordsmanship for self-defense."

"Born into a chaotic world, if I don't even have the ability to protect myself, what will I do if I encounter bandits?"

Honglian explained.

After she finished speaking, she poured a bowl of tea for Han Wang'an as well.

"I do not like drinking tea."

"If you like it, take the tea leaves..."

King Han An Dao.

He was interrupted by Honglian before he could finish speaking.

"Drinking light tea is good for your health."

"Father, you can't drink anymore!"

Honglian said solemnly.

Then he picked up the wine jug and threw it out the window.

The wine jug still contained a lot of wine, priceless indeed. Upon seeing this, King Han An hesitated to speak.

It's true what they say, daughters grow up and leave home!
……

Half an hour later.

King Han suppressed his displeasure and drank a few sips of weak tea.

The topic then shifted to the matter of a marriage alliance.

"red lotus."

"You're not getting any younger, have you ever thought about getting married?"

King An asked.

"Father, what are you going to do?"

Upon hearing this, Honglian became wary.

Her intuition told her that Han Wang'an was up to no good.

"What can Father do?"

"Of course, Father is doing this for your own good."

"In this era of great strife and lurking dangers, I am already old. Can I protect you for the rest of my life?"

"Therefore, you still need to find a good family to marry into."

King Han An Dao.

"red lotus."

"Father knows you don't like Ji Wuye. What do you think of Ji Yihu?"

"Ji Yihu is about your age, and Ji Wuye only has one..."

King An asked.

He was interrupted by Honglian again before he could finish speaking.

"I don't want to get married!" "I have a strong aversion to Ji Wuye and Ji Yihu!"

Honglian said irritably.

She would rather be Xu Lin's maid than marry Ji Wuye or Ji Yihu.

"Father was merely offering a suggestion."

“Nanyang has been lost, and you are not young anymore. It’s time to think about the future of South Korea.”

"Of course, Father won't force you, and everything is negotiable. Go back and think about it first."

King Han An Dao.

Upon hearing this, Honglian left the palace with a displeased expression.

How old is Ji Wuye?
Ji Yihu and Ji Wuye are birds of a feather. She would rather be Xu Lin's 'female slave' than marry Ji Yihu!
……

A quarter of an hour later.

Xinzheng, the residence of the Fourth Prince.

Fourth Prince Han Yu learned that Honglian was unwilling to marry Ji Wuye or Ji Yihu.

In the Han royal palace, not only Ji Wuye has eyeliner, but Han Yu also has eyeliner.

Congratulations, Godfather!

Han Qiancheng offered his congratulations.

"Why are you so happy?"

"Han Yu, who looks like a talented man, asked loudly."

Although he was the fourth son, his reputation was no less than that of Crown Prince Han Yun.

Many members of the Korean royal family supported Han Woo as crown prince, especially after the change of power in Namyang.

Han Yun is addicted to wine and women and could die at any moment. If he were to succeed to the throne, how could the state of Han possibly survive?
"Hasn't Godfather always wanted to cooperate with Ji Wuye?"

"I think this is a great opportunity!"

Han Qiancheng said respectfully.

Although he was only a few years younger than Han Yu, he was Han Yu's adopted son. He was skilled in archery and could hit a target from a hundred paces away.

"You're getting smarter and smarter!"

Han Yu was overjoyed.

Then they took a car to the General's Mansion.

Han Qiancheng is right, this is indeed a good opportunity!

Before long, Han Yu, dressed in a brocade robe, met Ji Wuye.

His hairstyle was simple yet sophisticated, and his blue jacket paired with a white inner layer gave him a refreshing and carefree look, while also showcasing his calm and rational personality.

Both the outer and inner linings are trimmed with gold thread, featuring intricate patterns, a jade-inlaid headdress, and a rectangular jade pendant at the waist, exuding extreme luxury.

"Fourth Young Master?"

"As night deepens, I wonder what brings the Fourth Young Master here so late at night?"

Ji Wuye raised his thick eyebrows and asked with a smile.

He didn't have much of a personal relationship with Han Yu; in recent years, he had become closer to Crown Prince Han Yun.

Han Yun was addicted to wine and women, making him easier to control.

Han Yu remained silent upon hearing this and looked at the maid beside him.

Seeing this, Ji Wuye smiled and gestured for his attendants to leave.

"I'm here to cooperate with the general."

After the maids had gone far away, Han Yu spoke slowly and deliberately.

"cooperate?"

"Fourth Young Master, are you unaware that His Highness the Crown Prince and I often drink together?"

Ji Wuye asked in a gruff voice.

"know."

"But times have changed."

Han Yu nodded.

Ji Wuye frowned slightly, urging Han Yu to continue.

"Nanyang has been lost, and the tyrannical Qin has long coveted the state of Han."

"Father's health is deteriorating day by day. If my elder brother succeeds to the throne, does the general think he is a match for the tyrannical Qin?"

"The general is the great general of Korea. If Korea is gone, the general..."

Before Han Yu could finish speaking, a smile appeared on his lips.

Some things don't need to be explicitly stated!
Upon hearing this, Ji Wuye stroked his beard and fell into deep thought.

Although Han Yu's words were harsh, they were not without reason.

Han Yun is suitable to be a puppet, but will Qin give him a chance to breathe?

If Nanyang hadn't fallen, and Han Yun had ascended the throne, he would have been the true king of Han, which would have been very comfortable.

But Nanyang has already fallen, and Xinzheng is riddled with assassins from the Luowang and Yingmiwei. If Han Yun is put on the throne again, the state of Han will most likely perish!

Is South Korea, this broken pot, still able to withstand any more trouble?

"What the Fourth Young Master said makes sense."

"But what benefits would I gain from cooperating with you?"

Ji Wuye got straight to the point.

He dislikes beating around the bush and prefers to speak his mind directly.

"If the general is willing to cooperate, there are two benefits."

"First, I will arrange for Honglian to marry the general."

"Secondly, I will make the general the true Lord of the Night."

Han Yu smiled broadly.

Although he and Honglian shared the same parents, power was more important to him.
