Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 238 The Mature and Eloquent Woman Who Dared Not Speak

"Catch the thief first and capture the king first."

"I want to meet Han An in person."

Xu Lin said seriously.

"it is good."

Mingzhu readily agreed.

Then he straightened up and went with Xu Lin to the King of Han's sleeping quarters.

Given the tight security at the palace, Mingzhu had Xu Lin impersonate a doctor.

Before long, Xu Lin arrived at the King of Han's sleeping quarters as he had wished.

The King of Han lay on a soft couch, his hair and beard completely white, his neck covered in cold sweat.

"You all go down!"

Mingzhu looked at the maid and gave the order.

"promise!"

The maids immediately obeyed.

"Has the doctor arrived?"

Upon hearing Mingzhu's voice, King Han An covered his forehead and asked.

"Yes."

Mingzhu nodded.

Xu Lin smiled upon hearing this and placed the medicine box on the table.

"Is there any cure for my headache?"

King Han asked with a pained expression.

He used to get headaches, but it only happened about once a year.

Lately, I've been getting headaches every few days. Not only are they frequent, but each time the headache is excruciating, like being tortured.

"Have."

"Simply use a sharp axe to cut open the skull and remove the wind."

Xu Lin opened the medicine box and smiled broadly.

Upon hearing the words "severing the skull with a sharp axe," King An of Han immediately sat up, supported by the soft couch.

If you were to chop his head open with a sharp axe, would he still survive?
Seeing this, Mingzhu smiled charmingly. Listening to Xu Lin speak was like drinking fine wine!

After sitting up, King Han looked intently at Xu Lin.

After looking Xu Lin up and down, he felt that Xu Lin looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

"Are you Xu Lin?"

After more than ten breaths, King Han was greatly alarmed.

He had seen several portraits of Xu Lin!

"Yes."

Xu Lin nodded.

"How did you get in?"

Seeing Xu Lin's composed expression, King Han An questioned him sternly.

Xu Lin was less than five steps away from him at this moment, and he dared not easily call for help.

"Months ago, Xinzheng was already infiltrated by the Shadow Guards and the Net, turning it into a sieve."

"Isn't it easy to get into the Han King's palace?"

Xu Lin asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, King An of Han was so angry that his scalp tingled, his lips turned pale, and he opened his mouth for a long time but could not utter a single word.

"You should lie down."

Xu Lin suggested with a smile.

After speaking, he waved his sleeve and made Han An lie down.

"Are you here on orders to kill me?"

After lying down, King Han asked with a stern face.

"No."

"I'm here to discuss cooperation with you."

Xu Lin shook his head.

After saying that, he placed his hand on Mingzhu's lower back.

Because Han Wang An had a severe headache and was lying on a soft couch, he couldn't see what Xu Lin was doing at all.

Upon feeling Xu Lin's inappropriate touch, Mingzhu hesitated, her brows furrowing slightly.

Xu Lin is getting worse and worse!
However, I like it very much!
"cooperate?"

King Han frowned.

Then I couldn't help but cough violently a few times.

"Correct."

“My king is not a bloodthirsty man.”

"Our army has already entered Xinzheng, and it's only a matter of time before we raze the Han King's palace to the ground."

"Therefore, I suggest you surrender."

Xu Lin suggested with a half-smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, his hand moved to his leg.

"surrender?"

"This is a matter of great importance. I wonder if I could have a few days to consider it?"

King Han asked as he pondered.

Han Yu, Han Fei, and others have already gone to Zhao and Chu to seek help, so he needs to buy time now!
"How many days do you need to consider?"

"No."

You have only half an hour to consider.

Xu Lin refused immediately.

With his vast experience in judging people, how could he not see that King Han An wanted to stall for time?

Immediately afterwards, a eunuch reported that Crown Prince Han Yun requested an audience. Upon hearing this, Xu Lin calmly released Mingzhu's buttocks and went behind the screen with her.

When King Han saw Mingzhu and Xu Lin go behind the screen, he frowned.

Mingzhu is his woman, so why did she go behind the screen with Xu Lin?

Has Mingzhu been turned by Xu Lin?

Or was Mingzhu forced to do this in order to survive?

After a moment's thought, he shook his head. What time is it now?

Does he still have the mind to care about Mingzhu?

So he forced himself to sit up despite his discomfort and had the eunuch bring Han Yun in.

Squeak.

The wooden door opened in response.

Han Yun, with a hunched back, approached Han Wang An.

Although Han Yun is not yet thirty years old, he looks like he is nearly fifty, and he is weak and listless.

Xu Lin ignored Han Yun and had Mingzhu place her hand on the screen.

Next, fold the purple lining in half.

This made Mingzhu frown deeply.

"Wait a moment."

Mingzhu pleaded.

Her voice was so soft that only Xu Lin could hear it.

"what happened?"

Xu Lin looked puzzled.

Once the arrow is released, there's no turning back.

"This is too close to Han An and his son."

"And there are many guards and maids outside."

Mingzhu explained.

"so what?"

Xu Lin asked.

His hands were busy as he spoke.

Seeing that Xu Lin was determined, Mingzhu stopped talking and focused all her energy on defense.

Han Yun was pouring tea for King Han An at that moment.

"Father."

Let's surrender!

Han Yun advised.

"???"

"You're so young, why are you thinking of giving up as soon as you encounter a setback?"

King An of Han reprimanded him in a fit of anger.

Then he smashed the teacup that Han Yun handed him onto the ground.

To avoid being discovered by King Han An, Mingzhu took a half step back.

“Father, it’s not that I’m always thinking of retiring.”

"But now that things have come to this, we have no other choice."

Han Yun explained.

"Ji Wuye is dead, and Bai Yifei is just shirking his duties."

"The Qin army has already entered Xinzheng, and several thousand of Qin's elite troops are outside the palace."

"Qin general Wang Jian said, 'If we do not surrender, we will raze the Han King's palace to the ground tonight.'"

Han Yun continued.

Upon hearing this, King An of Han was first stunned, then shocked, and then couldn't help but vomit blood.

Is he really going to become the ruler of a fallen kingdom?
He doesn't want to be remembered with infamy forever!
After a long while, King Han leaned against the pillow and laboriously placed his hand on Han Yun's shoulder.

Before speaking, he glanced at the screen.

To prevent Xu Lin from overhearing, he winked at Han Yun, signaling Han Yun to come closer.

"Your fourth and ninth brothers are still working hard."

"We can't just accept this."

"In that case, you should try to stall Wang Jian first."

"For example, if we surrender, how will the King of Qin deal with us?"

"These are all things that can be discussed."

"You can use this to buy time."

King Han An solemnly instructed.

He was a tyrannical ruler, but not an idiot.

"it is good."

Han Yun nodded.

His collaborator, Ji Wuye, was dead, which is why he chose to listen to King Han An.

If he dares to disobey King Han An, he could be deposed.

Without Ji Wuye's help, he would be finished if he were crippled!

After speaking, Han Yun pretended to be filial and covered Han Wang An with a blanket, then turned and left.

After Han Yun disappeared from sight, Xu Lin reluctantly released Mingzhu's red lips and slowly walked towards Han An.

Because she needed to tidy up her clothes and clean up the mess, Mingzhu didn't emerge from behind the screen until about half a cup of tea had passed.

"How are you thinking about it?"

Upon seeing the pearl, Xu Lin shook the teacup in his hand and asked King Han An.

There are two reasons why he did not choose to kill King Han An or forcibly take him away.

First, Han Wang An is Hong Lian's biological father. If he treats her too badly, how can he turn Han Fei against his own side and make Hong Lian devoted to him?
Secondly, Han An is, after all, the King of Han. If we go too far with him, it will affect Qin's future eastward expansion and make the rulers of Zhao, Wei and other states prefer death to surrender!
