Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 223 Zhao Ji swallows dates willingly.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Wang Jian was the first to step forward.

Warfare is based on deception, and he also believed that it was essential to strike unexpectedly and catch the enemy off guard.

Duke Shang and others followed closely behind.

"What do Mother and Grandmother think?"

Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Ji and Empress Dowager Huayang.

"I agree."

"Speed ​​is of the essence in war. I do not wish to be old and frail, unable to even find a place to rest, when my Great Qin has not yet unified the world!"

Zhao Ji nodded.

"I agree as well."

"The entire state of Han has only 100,000 soldiers. Even the irrigation canals overseen by the hydraulic engineer Zheng Guo are not yet completed. Yet, the Qin army is sufficient to destroy Han."

The Queen Mother Huayang said.

Cheng Jiao, Fan Yuqi, Lord Yangquan, and Lord Changwen were all dead; she had no intention of being invincible against Ying Zheng.

"it is good!"

"Wang Jian, obey orders."

"I hereby command you to personally lead an army of 100,000 to Xinzheng to rescue the people of Han from their suffering!"

Ying Zheng looked at Wang Jian, his voice like a dragon's roar.

"promise!"

Wang Jian immediately accepted the order.

Then he quickly stepped forward and caught the tiger tally with both hands.

Ying Zheng appointed Wang Jian to lead the army to attack Han because Wang Jian was mature, prudent, and a steady fighter.

……

That night.

Xianyang, Ganquan Palace.

After having dinner, Zhao Ji dismissed her attendants and went to the bamboo window.

"We're finally going to destroy Han."

Zhao Ji pursed her moist red lips and said.

She's been dreaming about Xu Lin a lot lately. If Han isn't destroyed soon, she's even thinking of going to Xinzheng!

"How long do you think South Korea can hold out?"

Zhao Ji removed her jade hairpin and gazed at the bright moon.

"South Korea claims to have 100,000 soldiers, but the actual fighting force is estimated to be only 30,000 to 50,000."

"Furthermore, with Nanyang changing hands and logistics becoming unsustainable, South Korea is estimated to surrender within a month at most."

Hongzao speculated.

She wasn't looking down on South Korea; it's just that South Korea is indeed very weak!

Do you think it's possible for Mr. Xu to come back early?

Zhao Ji crossed her arms and asked with her brows furrowed.

Wang Jian personally led an army of 100,000, while Meng Ao was in Nanyang. There was no need for Xu Lin, so Xu Lin had no need to wait until after the destruction of Han to return!

The thought that Xu Lin had been in South Korea for so long without writing her a single letter made Zhao Ji feel displeased.

When Xu Lin returns, she will punish him severely!
"Maybe will."

Hongzao said uncertainly.

Zhao Ji remained silent upon hearing this, and looked at the graceful figure on the ground.

Under the bright moonlight, Zhao Ji's shadow resembled that of a cat, plump and alluring.

After a dozen or so breaths, she placed her hand on her jade-like neck and then let the red date go down.

She both loves and hates the act of "swallowing dates," finding it both extremely distasteful in daily life and incredibly enjoyable when alone with someone.

Although Xu Lin is not here, 'Little Xu Lin' is.

……

the other side.

Sinzheng, South Korea.

Ji Yihu, Mo Ya, and Bai Feng searched for Hong Lian together.

The three of them practically dug up every inch of Xinzheng, but still couldn't find Honglian.

"Major General."

Is it possible that Princess Honglian went to Nanyang?

Seeing that Ji Yihu looked very tired, Bai Feng pretended to be curious and asked.

He had learned from Mo Ya that Hong Lian had gone to the Xu residence.

"Nanyang?"

"Nanyang has already changed hands, what is she going to Nanyang for?"

Ji Yihu frowned.

After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but yawn.

He got up before dawn to look for Honglian, and now it's almost dark. He's been walking for about five hours without stopping.

"It is precisely because Nanyang has changed hands that Princess Honglian was able to go to Nanyang."

"Young General, what do you think...?"

Bai Feng explained.

Before he could finish speaking, Ji Yihu interrupted him.

"impossible!"

Ji Yihu said in a deep voice.

Then he stopped and sat down on a rock by the roadside.

"Is it possible that Princess Honglian went to the State of Wei?"

Mo Ya asked, feigning seriousness.

"The State of Wei?"

What was she doing in the State of Wei?

Ji Yihu frowned deeply.

"As far as I know, the Empress Dowager of Wei is Princess Honglian's maternal grandmother."

"Empress Dowager Wei wrote many letters to Princess Honglian and doted on her greatly, therefore..."

Mo Ya said, thinking as he spoke.

He was interrupted by Ji Yihu before he could finish speaking.

"Even if she really went to Wei, I don't have the strength to investigate today."

“That’s it for today!”

Ji Yihu said, utterly exhausted.

Without waiting for Mo Ya and Bai Feng to respond, he got into his carriage and returned to the General's Mansion.

After the carriage had driven away, Mo Ya and Bai Feng exchanged a smile. "Do you think he'll go to Wei to investigate this matter?"

Bai Feng asked casually.

"possible."

"Didn't Ji Wuye want him to marry Princess Honglian?"

Mo Ya nodded.

"But by the time he arrived in Daliang, the capital of Wei, the Qin army had already reached Xinzheng."

Mo Ya sneered.

After saying that, he and Bai Feng left.

……

The next day.

The setting sun melts gold.

Xinzheng, Xu Mansion.

Xu Lin was teaching the Red Lotus Sword Technique when he suddenly received a letter from Ying Zheng.

Upon learning that Ying Zheng had dispatched Wang Jian to personally lead an army of 100,000 to attack Han, Xu Lin's eyebrows furrowed with joy.

"What are you so happy about?"

Seeing Xu Lin raise his eyebrows, Honglian asked curiously.

"Finally, I can go back to Xianyang."

Xu Lin answered.

Then he handed Honglian a stack of tissue paper so she could wipe her sweat.

“Bite off more than you can chew.”

"Learning swordsmanship must be done gradually."

Xu Lin said gently.

Just as he was planning to cook for himself that evening, Hongyu, a maid from Zilan Pavilion, suddenly requested an audience.

"gentlemen."

"Sister Zi Nu wishes to see you."

Hongyu said respectfully.

"it is good."

Xu Lin was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded.

After saying that, he and Hongyu went to Zilan Pavilion together.

When Xu Lin arrived at Zi Lan Xuan, Zi Nu was still discussing the price of Zi Lan Xuan with Han Fei.

"Brother Xu has arrived."

"Boss lady, it's not that I want to make money from this, but the other party is only willing to offer five thousand gold coins."

"If you really think it's too little, I can help you find other buyers."

Han Fei explained.

Then he handed Xu Lin a cushion.

"Five thousand gold pieces?"

"The price is acceptable."

"What nationality is the other person?"

Xu Lin sat cross-legged beside Zi Nu and asked.

"Merchants from the State of Qi".

Han Fei replied.

When is the earliest I can pay?

Xu Lin asked.

"tomorrow."

Han Fei Dao.

"it is good!"

"Five thousand gold pieces!"

Xu Lin readily agreed.

Zi Nu was about to speak when Xu Lin covered her mouth.

I'll explain to you later.

Xu Lin brought his mouth close to Zi Nu's ear and breathed hot air into her mouth.

Zi Nu hesitated upon hearing this, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.

What could she do when Xu Lin had already made up his mind?
"Brother Xu, can you make the decision?"

Han Fei, seeing Xu Lin and Zi Nu acting intimately, teased them.

"Brother Han, you're looking down on people by saying that."

"If I can't make the decisions, what am I here for?"

Xu Lindao.

After he finished speaking, he slapped Zi Nu's thigh hard.

His actions seemed to imply that Zi Nu was already his woman, and that he was the owner of Zi Lan Xuan!

"This is not something I said offhand; I hope Brother Xu will forgive me."

Han Fei apologized.

"It doesn't matter."

Xu Lin waved his hand.

After chatting for a while, Han Fei left Zilan Pavilion.

Xu Lin didn't ask about the 'transfer' matter again because he knew that such things couldn't be rushed; if he kept pressing, it would easily backfire!

Han Fei has to figure this out himself; urging him won't help!
Why did you agree to his request?

"Zilan Pavilion can earn about a thousand gold coins a month, so five thousand gold coins would be..."

After Han Fei walked away, Zi Nu's beautiful eyes were full of confusion.

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

"Because Qin is going to destroy Han."

Xu Lin stepped forward, reducing the distance between him and Zi Nu to half a step, and said gently.

"Didn't you say we'd wait until the canal was finished before..."

Zi Nu frowned and flicked her hair.

"Plans can't keep up with changes."

Xu Lin answered.

Then he reached out and touched Zi Nu's waist.
