Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 227 Does Nongyu also want to marry Xu Lin? Madam Hu is nervous.

After a dozen or so breaths, dozens of men in black surrounded Zi Nu and the others.

"You are not from Qin, are you?"

"Do not be nervous."

"Hand over all the money."

The leader of the men in black said with a half-smile.

Upon hearing this, Zi Nu was naturally unwilling to pay and slowly drew the chain sword from her waist.

Nongyu and the others followed closely behind, also drawing their long swords from their waists.

"If you don't eat the toast, will you be punished with a drink?"

"it is good!"

The leader of the men in black spoke loudly.

Then he clapped his hands hard.

Upon hearing the sound, the assassin beside him immediately drew his bow and aimed at Zi Nu and the others.

At the critical moment, Lao Ren personally led more than a dozen Shadow Guard assassins to appear and killed the leader of the men in black with lightning speed.

Upon seeing that the newcomers were Shadow Guards, the remaining men in black immediately scattered and fled.

"Go after them!"

Old Ren gave the order.

"promise!"

The Shadow Secret Guard assassin immediately accepted the order.

After the man in black disappeared from sight, Old Ren sheathed his sword and strode towards Zi Nu and Madam Hu.

"Are you guys okay?"

Old Ren asked seriously.

"No."

Zi Nu and Madam Hu shook their heads in unison.

"It's okay."

"I have come on the orders of Chief Xu."

Old Ren breathed a sigh of relief.

"Although Qin law is strict, there are still many people who knowingly break the law, especially on the border."

"Therefore, you should be careful in your daily lives!"

"I will bring men to protect you secretly."

Old Ren continued.

"Thank you!"

Zi Nu bowed respectfully.

Madam Hu and Nongyu followed closely behind.

"Need not."

"I was just following orders."

Old Ren waved his hand.

Then he rode away from there.

After Lao Ren walked away, Zi Nu turned around and looked at Nong Yu and Madam Hu.

If Xu Lin hadn't sent Lao Ren, those mountain bandits would have been really difficult to deal with.

Because Madam Hu did not know martial arts, they brought a lot of money with them on this trip.

"Sir, you are very thoughtful."

After a few breaths, Nongyu commented.

Xu Lin's actions made her admire him even more.

Seeing Nongyu's admiring expression, Madam Hu hesitated to speak.

Although Xu Lin is very outstanding, Yu'er must not fall in love with him.

Not only did she and Xu Lin have a marital relationship, but her sister also most likely had one as well. Therefore, Yu'er could only be friends with Xu Lin.

Zi Nu nodded and turned to look at Xin Zheng.

It must be said that Xu Lin was indeed cautious.

The saying "better safe than sorry" is absolutely true!
……

The next day.

Xu Mansion, on the outskirts of Xinzheng City.

After having breakfast, Xu Lin took out a map from under the table.

Xianyang is more than a thousand miles away from Xinzheng. Although Ying Zheng has agreed to send troops to attack Xinzheng, it will take time for the army to reach the city.

Before Wang Jian led his army to Xinzheng, he could have taken Honglian to Nanyang.

Honglian had always wanted to go to Nanyang to see what it was like under the Qin army's rule.
I happen to have some time now!
Thinking of this, Xu Lin looked up at Hong Lian.

Do you want to go to Nanyang?

Xu Lin asked.

"miss you!"

Honglian, with her long hair tied up high, nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"Will you take me there, sir?"

Honglian ran up to Xu Lin and took his arm.

Because she was still young, she didn't look like Xu Lin's woman at this moment, but rather like Xu Lin's younger sister.

"I have nothing to do today and tomorrow."

Xu Lin nodded.

"it is good!"

Red Lotus smiles at Willow Eyebrows.

Then I went to the bedroom to change my clothes.

She wants to disguise herself as a man, just like when Yan Lingji first arrived, and pretend to be Xu Lin's younger brother.

……

After a short while, Honglian, disguised as a man, returned to Xu Lin's side.

She wore a brown robe and had a long sword at her waist, which gave her a rather heroic air.

But he doesn't look very much like a man.

The main problem is the chest; it's too distracting. What man has such a large chest?

"how?"

Honglian spun around in front of Xu Lin.

"not so good."

Xu Lin shook his head.

Then he raised his hand and pointed to Honglian's breasts.

"You should still pretend to be Yan Lingji."

Xu Lin said as he thought.

After he finished speaking, he called Yan Lingji over and asked her to choose a dress for Honglian.

Finally, Yan Lingji chose a blue dress for Honglian, allowing Honglian's silky black hair to fall naturally to her chest.

"Although there are still some flaws, it is enough to pass for the real thing!"

After finishing Honglian's makeup, Yanlingji commented.

Honglian's current figure is very similar to Yanlingji's figure from a few years ago.

Another point is that, compared to Yan Ling Ji, Hong Lian is not charming enough.

Yan Lingji possesses a natural allure, every smile and frown exuding charm, while Hong Lian appears somewhat immature.

"Okay."

Xu Lin nodded.

Then he went to Nanyang with Honglian.

Because Han Qiancheng was hiding far from the Xu residence, he did not realize that the person sitting in front of Xu Lin was Honglian, not Yan Lingji.

Horseback riding is faster, so Xu Lin chose to ride a horse.

Honglian was wearing a skirt, which made it inconvenient for her to ride a horse. In addition, Honglian was not a good rider, so the two of them shared a horse.

Honglian was in front, and Xu Lin was behind.

"so tired."

"Sir, let's take a break."

Half an hour later, Honglian blinked her big eyes and discussed it with Xu Lin.

She was used to traveling by car, and the bumpy ride on horseback made her feel very uncomfortable.

"it is good."

Seeing that Honglian didn't look too well, Xu Lin readily agreed.

Then he dismounted and went to a nearby tavern.

Honglian followed Xu Lin closely, their steps perfectly synchronized.

This made Honglian very happy.

"What do you want to eat?"

After taking his seat, Xu Lin asked.

"I'm fine with anything I eat."

"Sir, I'll eat whatever you eat."

Honglian replied very obediently.

Then she rested her chin on her hand and began to look at Xu Lin.

She liked to stare at Xu Lin; she liked his eyes, mouth, shoulders, and chest!
She was going to sit sideways in front of Xu Lin, so that he could carry her to Nanyang in his arms!

Xu Lin nodded and asked the shopkeeper to bring out two flatbreads, a plate of mutton, a plate of vegetables, and a pot of tea.

"Your shop has a good location, so why are there so few customers?"

After all the dishes were served, Xu Lin ate while asking questions.

The tavern was quite large, but apart from him and Honglian, there was only one other table of people on the first floor.

"Is it because it's not mealtime yet?"

Xu Lin looked puzzled.

After he finished speaking, he helped Honglian tear the cake into two pieces.

Honglian was naturally capable of tearing the cake, but she wanted Xu Lin to help her, so she deliberately tore it for a long time.

Xu Lin didn't mind; she was just a young girl.

"Ugh."

"Don't mention it."

"This year is completely incomparable to last year."

"Even though this place isn't close to Nanyang, many people from this area still went to Nanyang after it changed hands."

The shopkeeper explained.

After Nanyang changed hands, he visited Nanyang twice. Nanyang had changed dramatically and was no less than Xinzheng. Therefore, he could understand why many people from the surrounding area went to Nanyang to make a living.

He plans to open a tavern in Nanyang next month.

"Go to Nanyang to make a living?"

"Why?"

"My sister and I are from Chu. We are newcomers here, and we hope the shopkeeper can tell us the truth."

Xu Lin said as he thought.

After saying this, he took out a bag of money from Honglian's sleeve.

Upon seeing the bulging money bag, the shopkeeper completely opened up and started talking.

"After Nanyang changed hands, the Qin army did not harm the people of Nanyang in the slightest."

"Moreover, Nanyang also implemented the Qin laws, rewarding farming and warfare."

"If that heavy snowfall last winter had happened in previous years, at least two thousand people would have died in Nanyang. But do you know how many people died in Nanyang this year?"

"It's said that none of them died..."

The shopkeeper recounted the story with great emotion.
