Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 220: An Early Attack on Korea?

Then Xu Lin wrote a letter to Ying Zheng.

According to the original plan, troops would be sent to destroy Han after the irrigation canal was completed and the autumn harvest was completed.

Xu Lin now felt there was no need to wait for the canal to be completed; Han only had Xinzheng left, and 100,000 soldiers were enough.

Unpredictable, attacking it unprepared.

If they wait until after the autumn harvest to send troops, Han will most likely have already formed an alliance with Zhao and Chu.

"gentlemen."

"After the Qin army conquers Xinzheng, will they treat the people of Han well?"

After the messenger had gone far away, Honglian blinked her big eyes and asked.

"When did you become so kind?"

Xu Lin teased.

"I have always been kind!"

Honglian said sullenly.

After Nanyang fell, how did the Qin army treat the people of Nanyang?

Xu Lin asked in a deep voice.

"It's said to be pretty good."

"But sir, didn't you say that seeing is believing, not hearing?"

Honglian brushed her black hair from her forehead and said.

"When I have time another day, I'll take you to Nanyang."

Xu Lindao.

While Qin law had its problems, it depends on who it was compared to. Compared to the state of Han, where etiquette did not extend to the common people, Qin law was already quite benevolent towards the people!
"it is good!"

Red Lotus smiles at Willow Eyebrows.

……

the other side.

Han Yu went to the Ninth Prince's residence.

It is common knowledge that Honglian and Han Fei are the closest of friends.

Therefore, it is very likely that Honglian has hidden in the Ninth Prince's residence.

Before long, Han Yu met Han Fei.

"Fourth brother?"

What brings you here today?

"The last time you came, I hadn't gone to school yet; it must have been almost ten years, right?"

Han Fei greeted him with a smile.

He has been busy writing a book to persuade Zhang Liang to go to Qin, so he is unaware of Honglian's disappearance.

"It's been almost ten years."

Han Yu nodded.

Then he went straight to the study.

"Ninth Brother, what have you been busy with lately?"

“I heard that you’ve been drowning your sorrows in alcohol lately, that won’t do.”

"When my elder brother takes over the throne in the future, we'll still have to rely on you!"

Han Yu said loudly.

After he finished speaking, he began to look around, searching for Honglian.

"rumor!"

"Drinking alcohol leads to trouble, so I've been drinking very little lately and have switched to tea."

Han Fei immediately denied it.

Then he picked up the teacup and showed Han Yu the light tea he had brewed.

"Oh?"

"Ninth Brother, didn't you used to dislike drinking tea?"

Han Yu frowned slightly.

"People are going to change."

Han Fei explained.

After chatting for a while, Han Yu shifted the topic to Hong Lian.

"Lao Jiu."

When was the last time you saw Honglian?

Han Yu asked casually.

"last month?"

"I can't remember either, what's wrong?"

"Is Father going to marry Honglian to Ji Wuye again?"

Han Fei's eyes showed curiosity.

"It's not Ji Wuye, it's Ji Yihu."

What's your opinion on this?

Han Yu asked.

Then he gave Han Qiancheng a wink.

After receiving a signal, Han Qiancheng went to the backyard under the pretext of going to the toilet.

"I don't think it's appropriate."

“Honglian hates the Ji family to the core. Wouldn’t sending her to marry into the Ji family be like a lamb being led to the slaughter?”

Han Fei Dao.

"That's a bad word."

"Honglian is a princess, how could she be a sheep?"

"No matter how arrogant the Ji family is, do they still dare to bully the princess at will?"

Han Yu retorted.

"That scoundrel Ji Wuye doesn't even respect my father, let alone Honglian?"

Han Fei said irritably.

Upon hearing this, Han Yu hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

He wasn't there to argue with Han Fei about this matter; he was there to find Honglian.

Judging from Han Fei's tone and the guard's eyes, Honglian is most likely not here.

……

Half an hour later.

Han Yu left the Ninth Prince's residence.

After leaving, he did not go home, but went to the Crown Prince's residence.

Although Honglian and Crown Prince Han Yun rarely interacted, they were siblings from the same mother, so it is possible that Honglian hid in the Crown Prince's residence.

……

Two days later. Han Yu searched through the Crown Prince's residence, the Tenth Prince's residence, and the residences of all his uncles, but still couldn't find Honglian.

"It's really weird."

"Where do you think Honglian can go?"

Han Yu looked completely puzzled.

"Father."

"As far as I know, Princess Honglian once went fishing with Xu Zhengchun, no, to be precise, it should be Xu Lin."

"Do you think Princess Honglian might have gone to the Xu residence?"

Han Qiancheng guessed as he thought.

"possible!"

Han Yu nodded vigorously.

Then they took a carriage to the Xu residence.

When he approached the Xu residence, Xu Lin was marinating mutton and chicken with Honglian and others in the courtyard.

Xu Lin plans to have barbecue tonight!
Upon seeing Han Yu, Xi Jun immediately told Xu Lin and Hong Lian about it.

Honglian was startled by these words and felt as if she were sitting on pins and needles.

"Don't be nervous."

Xu Lin comforted.

After he finished speaking, he instructed Yan Lingji to take Honglian and Xijun to the dark room.

Then I put down the seasonings and washed my hands with clean water.

Immediately afterwards, there was a knock on the door.

dong dong dong.

"Who?"

Xu Lin asked in a lazy voice.

After saying that, he lay down on the bamboo chair.

Han Yu remained silent upon hearing this, standing with his hands behind his back.

Seeing that Han Yu didn't speak, Xu Lin stretched comfortably, then closed his eyes and began to take a nap.

Seeing that Xu Lin remained silent, Han Qiancheng frowned and was about to break down the door, but was stopped by Han Yu.

"Not urgent."

Han Yu said.

After more than ten breaths, Yan Lingji returned to the courtyard and slowly opened the gate.

"I wonder who you are?"

Yan Lingji asked, feigning confusion.

"My surname is Han, and my given name is Yu."

Han Yu answered gently.

"I wonder if Mr. Xu is at home?"

Han Yu asked, feigning politeness.

He behaved with gentleness and refinement, just like a true gentleman!
"exist."

Yan Lingji nodded.

Then she raised her fair wrist and pointed at Xu Lin.

"Mr. Xu."

"I've long admired your name; it's an honor to finally meet you today!"

Han Yu bowed respectfully.

Han Qiancheng followed closely behind and also bowed to Xu Lin.

"Who is your Excellency?"

Xu Lin feigned puzzlement.

"Fourth Brother Han Fei, Han Yu."

"That's what Yan Lingji said."

Xu Lin pretended to realize something, picked up the teacup, and took a sip of weak tea.

"I wonder what brings you here so suddenly, Fourth Young Master?"

Xu Lin asked.

Han Qiancheng was displeased when he saw that Xu Lin showed no intention of getting up.

You must know, Han Yu is the fourth young master, and this is Xinzheng!

Even Ji Wuye has to give his godfather some face!
"Nothing much."

Han Yu smiled and waved his hand.

Then I took a few deep sniffs.

The scent in the air was familiar, much like the rouge and face powder that Honglian often used.

"I wonder if Mr. Xu knows Honglian?"

Han Yu stepped forward and asked.

"I've seen him a few times."

Xu Lin answered.

"She recently went missing. Do you think it's possible she's hiding here with you, sir?"

Han Yu asked with a half-smile.

"What do you mean by that, Fourth Young Master?"

"You doubt me?"

Xu Lin asked back with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Yan Lingji, with her long, slender legs, slowly walked behind Xu Lin and placed her fair wrist on his shoulder.

"No."

"Mr. Xu has misunderstood."

Han Yu immediately denied it.

“I’m currently investigating this matter, and every household in Xinzheng has to be searched.”

"I don't know..."

Han Yu asked with a big smile on his face.

"Go ahead and search if you want."

"But if the search fails and South Korea perishes as a result, then you can't blame me."

Xu Lin leaned back, resting against Yan Lingji's lower abdomen, and chuckled.

"Destroyed country?"

"It's not that serious, is it?"

Han Yu was startled upon hearing this, but then smiled and said.

Xu Lin remained silent, but raised his hand to signal Han Yu to hurry up and search, so as not to disturb his afternoon nap.
