Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 221 The Sweat-Drenched Young Girl Honglian

Seeing this, Han Yu hesitated to speak, and then began searching with Han Qiancheng.

Xu Lin then turned to the side with a contented look, handing over the task of cleaning ears to Yan Lingji.

……

After half a stick of incense.

Having found nothing, Han Yu returned to Xu Lin's side.

"I'm sorry to bother you."

Han Yu cupped his hands in greeting.

"It doesn't matter."

Xu Lin waved his hand.

Then he went to the study with Yan Lingji.

After taking his seat, he wrote another letter to Ying Zheng.

As the saying goes, if the name is not correct, the words will not be proper; if the words are not proper, things will not be accomplished.

Qin launched a military campaign to destroy Han, thus gaining a legitimate reason for its attack!
Han Yu's visit today gave him two reasons.

First, Han Yu forcibly searched his home, which was extremely humiliating.

Secondly, the South Korean people are suffering from hunger and lack of clothing, living in dire straits.

After Han Yu disappeared from sight, Xu Lin had his Shadow Guard assassins deliver the letter to Xianyang.

"The courtyard clearly smells of red lotus, so why can't I find it?"

"He moved Honglian away beforehand?"

Han Yu frowned and muttered to himself.

After a moment's thought, he wrote down Xu Lin's name.

Since Xu Lin was an important minister of the Qin state, he planned to search other places first. If he couldn't find Honglian even after turning Xinzheng upside down, then he would come to the Xu residence!
"Xu Lin's lechery is common knowledge."

"I hope Honglian isn't with him."

"otherwise……"

Han Yuxin said.

Although Ji Yihu married Honglian for the sake of his status as a maternal relative, if Honglian and Xu Lin had consummated their marriage, would Ji Yihu still have married her?

……

the other side.

Honglian and Xijun emerged from the dark room.

"gentlemen."

"How about Xijun and I go to Xianyang?"

Honglian asked seriously.

She didn't want to implicate Xu Lin.

Although Xu Lin's cultivation level is high, there is a saying that two fists can't beat four legs. Could Xu Lin possibly fight against ten thousand people by himself?

"Need not."

Xu Lin refused immediately.

"I will return to Xianyang in two months at most."

"Let's go together then."

Xu Lin explained.

He believed that Ying Zheng would accept his advice and send troops to destroy Han before the summer!

After speaking, he moved to the left, giving the newly warmed spot to Honglian.

"My fourth brother is cautious by nature."

"He must have discovered something, otherwise why would he come to search the house himself?"

"Sir, I don't want to implicate you or ruin your plans."

Honglian sat upright beside Xu Lin, pursing her cherry lips.

She was very well-behaved at that moment, completely different from before!
What could he possibly discover?

"Doubt is useless; you need evidence."

Xu Lin disagrees.

Then he patted Honglian's shoulders a few times to stop her from overthinking.

"I don't have anything to do lately."

"So you can't ruin my plans."

Xu Lin joked with a smile.

Then Honglian and Xijun went to skewer the meat together.

……

Half an hour later.

Xu Lin took out the pepper powder and chili powder that the system had previously rewarded him with from his storage space and started grilling skewers.

After grilling it until it sizzled and dripped with oil, he started sprinkling pepper and chili powder on top.

"Cough cough!"

"What is this?"

Honglian couldn't help but cough twice and pointed to the red chili powder, asking...

This was the first time she had ever seen chili powder!
"This is called chili powder."

"I bought it from the Hu merchant before."

Xu Lin thought and made up the story.

"Is it tasty?"

Honglian choked and took a half step back, asking curiously.

"of course."

Xu Lin said without hesitation.

Then he handed a large skewer of mutton to Honglian.

Since this was Honglian's first time eating chili peppers, he didn't sprinkle too much.

Just holding it in her hand, bringing it close to her delicate nose, caused fragrant sweat to bead on Honglian's forehead.

After taking more than ten breaths, Honglian took a deep breath and began to taste the lamb skewers sprinkled with chili powder.

The initial taste was a bit spicy, causing a fragrant sweat to appear on Honglian's jade-like neck.

While chewing, she not only tasted the aroma of the meat, but also the aroma of the chili peppers.

Soon, Honglian developed a liking for chili powder. "And what's this?"

Honglian took the tissue paper from Xijun, wiped her sweat, and pointed to the pepper powder in Xu Lin's hand, asking a question.

This is called pepper powder.

Xu Lin said loudly.

Then he sprinkled some pepper on the chicken skewers in Honglian's hand.

The chicken skewers sprinkled with pepper caught Honglian's eye as soon as she took a bite.

She prefers pepper powder to chili powder.

The chili peppers were too spicy for her.

"Did you buy this from the Hu people, sir?"

Honglian took a big gulp of soy milk and then asked.

Before Xu Lin could reply, she tied her hair up.

Her face was covered in sweat, as if she had just taken a shower and hadn't dried herself off.

"if not?"

Xu Lin asked back with a smile.

Then he handed Xijun a few skewers of mutton.

"Thank you, sir!"

Xi Jun accepted the lamb skewers with both hands and bowed to express his gratitude.

"I don't like eating things that are too salty."

"If you think it's not salty or spicy enough, you can add more yourself."

Xu Lindao.

Yan Lingji nodded, accepted the vegetarian skewers handed to her by Xu Lin, and began to enjoy them.

She prefers vegetarian food.

"You can go change your clothes."

"White clothes are not suitable for eating barbecue."

Seeing Xi Jun in a white dress, Xu Lin offered his suggestion.

"it is good."

Xi Jun immediately accepted the order.

Then he quickly walked towards the bedroom.

When Xijun returned, Honglian was already drenched in sweat.

Why are you sweating so much?

Xu Lin looked puzzled.

Honglian only ate a few skewers sprinkled with chili powder at the beginning; afterwards, she ate skewers sprinkled with pepper powder, but the pepper powder wasn't spicy at all!

"Maybe it's because I ate too fast."

Honglian's pretty face turned bright red.

After saying that, she couldn't help but cough twice, fanning her face as she walked towards the bathroom.

Seeing this, Xu Lin smiled and shook his head, then poured a bowl of soy milk for Yan Lingji and Xi Jun respectively.

"Thank you, Mr."

Xi Jun bowed and expressed his gratitude.

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

"No need to be so formal."

Xu Lindao.

"it is good."

Xi Jun nodded slightly.

Although she carried a long sword at her waist, her posture, whether sitting or eating, was very elegant, not at all like a maid.

……

After half a cup of tea.

Xijun finished the soy milk that Xu Lin poured for her and started grilling skewers.

Although she rarely grills skewers, she can learn.

She has a strong learning ability.

"are you full?"

Seeing Xi Jun sitting upright, Xu Lin asked curiously.

Xi Jun ate three skewers just now, which is less than what Yan Ling Ji ate.

"kindness."

Xi Jun nodded.

Then he poured some tea for Xu Lin.

"You think you'll be full after eating so little?"

Xu Lin frowned slightly.

From a distance, Xi Jun doesn't look thin, but up close, especially after she takes off her coat, she looks about the same size as Yan Ling Ji.

Her waist was so slender it could be encircled by one hand, and her thighs were only slightly thicker than his arms.

"can."

"My appetite has always been the same."

Xi Jun nodded.

Then he handed the freshly baked corn cakes to Xu Lin.

"You two, and Honglian, are all too thin."

"Everyone must eat three more skewers, or you won't be allowed to sleep tonight!"

Xu Lin commanded, feigning seriousness.

He likes plump women; he finds women who are too thin uncomfortable!

Seeing Xu Lin's serious expression, Xi Jun, with her long hair tied up high, hesitated to speak.

She was not good with words and was used to following orders.

Xu Lin and Hong Lian were already husband and wife, so she had no choice but to obey.

Yan Lingji readily agreed, since she hadn't eaten enough to begin with.
