Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 284 The Thought of Wanting But Not Admitting

Zhao Gao remained silent upon hearing this and looked at Li Ji.

"Let's talk on the way!"

Seeing this, Xu Lin spoke up.

Then he left the study with Zhao Gao.

If it weren't for an urgent matter, Zhao Gao wouldn't have come at this hour!

"The states of Zhao, Wei, and Chu intend to take advantage of the locust plague that has struck our Great Qin and form an alliance to attack Qin!"

After leaving the Imperial Preceptor's residence, Zhao Gao said solemnly.

Upon hearing this, Xu Lin frowned slightly and began to rub his fingers together.

Before long, he arrived at Zhangtai Palace.

When Xu Lin arrived, Wang Ben and Li Xin were already discussing countermeasures with Ying Zheng.

"Sir, you've finally arrived!"

Ying Zheng looked at Xu Lin and said loudly.

Then he dismissed the people around him.

"Zhao Gao must have already told you about the alliance between the states of Zhao, Wei, and Chu to attack Qin on the way, right?"

Ying Zheng asked after the guards walked away.

Xu Lin nodded.

"What do you think should be done, sir?"

Ying Zheng pressed on with a stern expression.

"In my opinion, the states of Zhao, Wei, and Chu are not to be feared."

Xu Lin answered.

Then he stepped forward a few steps and placed his hand on the map.

"Let's start with the State of Zhao. As far as I know, King Yan of Zhao will soon die."

"After King Yan of Zhao dies, the state of Zhao will inevitably be plunged into internal strife."

Xu Lin pointed to Handan, the capital of Zhao, on the map.

"Is King Zhao Yan nearing his end?"

"How do you know, sir?"

Ying Zheng looked curious.

"I am also skilled in divination."

Xu Lin laughed and lied.

He knew that King Yan of Zhao was doomed because, according to the timeline, King Yan of Zhao was supposed to die!

Ying Zheng, dressed in a black dragon robe, suddenly realized something and asked Xu Lin to continue.

"As for the State of Chu, King Han is still young, and Prime Minister Li Yuan has recently offended countless people."

"Does Xiang Yan dare to launch a full-scale attack on Qin?"

"Isn't he afraid something will happen in Shouchun?"

"Therefore, Your Majesty only needs to send someone to stir up trouble in Shouchun, and Li Yuan will then summon Xiang Yan back to Shouchun!"

"Without Xiang Yan, can the Chu army be a match for the elite soldiers of our Great Qin?"

Xu Lindao.

Upon hearing this, Wang Ben and Li Xin nodded in unison.

The only capable general in the Chu state was Xiang Yan. As long as Xiang Yan was not around, the Chu army could be easily dealt with!
"Finally, let's talk about the State of Wei. The entire State of Wei had only 200,000 soldiers and its terrain was low-lying."

"Therefore, I believe this is not a crisis, but an opportunity!"

Xu Lin said in a deep voice.

"This humble general is willing to lead troops into Wei!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Ben and Li Xin immediately volunteered.

"it is good!"

Ying Zheng nodded.

Then he allocated 150,000 troops to Wang Ben and Li Xin.

Wang Ben was the commander-in-chief, and Li Xin was the deputy commander-in-chief.

"Sir, you are a master strategist. Do you have any secrets for them?"

After a dozen or so breaths, Ying Zheng chuckled and teased.

There weren't many people in the main hall, so there was no need to be as solemn as usual!
"Forehead……"

"Let me think about it."

Xu Lin answered.

After a moment's thought, he suddenly had an idea, wrote it down on scrap paper, and handed it to Li Xin.

Then he raised his hand and pointed to the Gongshu Mansion, recommending Gongshu Chou's mechanical beast.

"good idea!"

Ying Zheng was very pleased.

Then he wrote a letter to Gongshu Chou.

It's unlikely that Wei could be destroyed in one battle, but there's a chance to make Wei exist in name only!
In terms of military strategy, both Wang Ben and Li Xin were no less capable than Zhu Hai, the Grand General of Wei!
After chatting for a few more minutes, Xu Lin left Zhangtai Palace.

After leaving Zhangtai Palace, he did not return to the Imperial Preceptor's residence, but went to the Imperial Observatory.

The mention of divination earlier reminded him of the moon goddess.

It's been a long time. I wonder if the Moon Goddess has changed?
……

A quarter of an hour later.

Xu Lin arrived at the Imperial Observatory.

The Moon Goddess, dressed in a sky-blue gown, was meditating in her room.

Upon learning that Xu Lin had arrived, she immediately opened her beautiful eyes, stood up, and went out to greet him.

"Master Imperial Master!"

"Long time no see!" The Moon Goddess gave a cold, beautiful smile.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Xu Lin nodded.

Then he went home with the Moon Goddess.

Like the moon goddess, he also enjoys walking.

As the autumn wind blew, the moon goddess's long, light purple hair slapped against her chest, making a rustling sound.

Xu Lin looked in the direction of the sound and smiled.

The Moon Goddess hasn't changed much, except that her breasts are a bit larger and her demeanor is more elegant.

"I wonder how the locust plague is going in Hexi?"

"With your book on locust control, sir, the problem should be solved soon, right?"

The Moon Goddess asked curiously.

"It's almost resolved."

"We are now in the final stages."

Xu Lin nodded.

"A few months ago, locusts were considered divine insects."

"Last month, locusts were no longer considered sacred insects."

"Recently, many people have said that locusts taste delicious when deep-fried."

"Can you really eat locusts?"

The moon goddess blinked her beautiful eyes and asked.

"of course."

"But it depends on the situation; you can't eat locusts that live in groups."

"Solo locusts are edible."

Xu Lin nodded.

"do you want to eat?"

Xu Lin asked casually.

The moon goddess immediately shook her head.

She was very averse to locusts, those strange-looking creatures!

Seeing this, Xu Lin smiled and told the Moon Goddess what had just happened at Zhangtai Palace, asking her to help with divination.

The Moon Goddess was taken aback upon hearing this, but then immediately agreed.

Upon returning to her residence, the Moon Goddess secretly recited incantations and began divination.

……

After half a cup of tea.

The Moon Goddess sat back down opposite Xu Lin.

"The Qin Dynasty will win."

"The State of Wei may be destroyed."

Moon God said.

She sat upright with her legs together, looking dignified and elegant.

"I hope so."

Xu Lin nodded.

Then he drank the boiled water in the bowl in one gulp and left the Moon Goddess's abode.

He wasn't in a hurry to take down the Moon Goddess, so there was no need for him to stay with her for too long.

……

Ten days later.

The locust plague in Hexi County has been completely resolved.

Yingge, Yanlingji, and the others left Hexi.

Nian Duan and his apprentice were the last to leave. The young girl, Duanmu Rong, drove the carriage, while Nian Duan sat inside reading "The Book of Locust Control".

Xu Lin's "Book on Locust Control" is very well written. If it weren't for this book, the locust plague in Hexi would probably still be unresolved even after another month.

"Sir, you are truly a genius of unparalleled talent."

After reading it again, Nian Duan put down the book and sighed.

Although she was still dressed very simply, her complexion and mental state were much better than before!
After a thorough exchange with Xu Lin, she never coughed again!

The book "The Book of Locust Control" saved countless lives, which made Nian Duan admire Xu Lin even more!
If she had met Xu Lin ten years ago, she and Xu Lin would probably already have a child. Of course, it's not too late now.

What am I thinking?

"I must set a good example, otherwise Rong'er will go astray!"

After a long while, Nian Duan blushed and blamed herself.

Her voice was so soft that only she could hear it!

After she finished speaking, she put the "Book on Locust Control" into her medicine box.

Then he lifted the carriage curtain and looked towards Xianyang.

She keeps dreaming about Xu Lin lately. The Xu Lin in her dreams is completely different from the real Xu Lin. He is very domineering and doesn't know how to cherish women at all!

She has recently felt a breakthrough coming, and wonders when Xu Lin will come to the Nian residence again.
She wasn't lusting after Xu Lin's body; she wanted to get treatment!

Many things can only be done zero times or countless times.

After experiencing the sweetness of it, Nian Duan often deceived himself like this.

Whether it was for medical treatment or for some other purpose, only she knows!
"Master, I haven't seen you smile in so long."

"what are you laughing at?"

Seeing Nian Duan's radiant smile, the young girl Duanmu Rong blinked her big eyes and asked.

Since Xu Lin used the "Huangdi Neijing" to treat Nian Duan's illness, Nian Duan is no longer as strict as before.
