Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 316 The Frustrated Gao Jianli
The next day.

The capital of Yan, Jicheng, Feixue Pavilion.

As the setting sun shone like blood, Gao Jianli entered Feixue Pavilion and encountered the alluring female assassins of the Luowang organization.

"Are they?"

After looking him up and down, Gao Jianli asked the maid beside him.

"They are new."

"I don't know the specifics either; you'll have to ask Sister Xue Nu."

The maid answered.

Gao Jianli nodded and carried his zither to the third floor.

After confirming that the Snow Woman was in the study, he knocked on the wooden door.

dong dong dong.

Upon hearing the sound, the Snow Maiden, who was sitting in front of her dressing table, frowned slightly, then put down her rouge and powder, abruptly stood up, and opened the wooden door.

After chatting for a while, Gao Jianli shifted the topic to the female assassins of the Luo Wang organization.

Xue Nu had always had a good impression of Gao Jianli, so she did not hide anything from him and told him the details of her cooperation with Xu Lin.

"Ten percent profit?"

"Xu Lin holds a very high position in the government, would he lack money?"

After listening, Gao Jianli spoke up.

He didn't want the Snow Maiden to cooperate with Xu Lin.

Xu Lin's lechery is common knowledge. Xue Nu's stunning beauty means that if she works with Xu Lin for a long time, trouble is bound to follow!

"He probably doesn't lack money."

"But who would complain about having too much money?"

The Snow Woman's voice was cold and clear.

Most people think that the more money the better, and she believes that Xu Lin would think the same way!
"He probably wouldn't mind having too much money."

"But he's more likely after you."

Gao Jianli said.

"Are you coming for me?"

The Snow Maiden's brows furrowed tightly.

"Father, like son."

"Xu Lin is a womanizer, and his mansion is filled with beauties, which is known throughout the land."

"You are in the prime of your life, beautiful enough to topple kingdoms..."

Gao Jianli explained seriously.

He was interrupted by the Snow Woman before he could finish speaking.

"You just said that Xu Lin's mansion is full of beautiful women."

"If that's the case, he shouldn't lack beautiful women."

"Itsuki said coldly."

She didn't know whether Xu Lin's collaboration with her was due to lust.

Anyway, she felt that Xu Lin was a good person during the time she spent with him.

Upon hearing this, Gao Jianli hesitated, as if he wanted to speak.

The die is cast. Xue Nu and Xu Lin have already begun their cooperation, and the female assassin from Luo Wang has moved into Fei Xue Ge. What else can he say?

"Maybe."

After more than ten breaths, Gao Jianli said helplessly.

After saying this, he turned and left Feixue Pavilion.

The Snow Woman's mind is made up; no amount of talk will change anything she says!

……

A quarter of an hour later.

As dusk settled, lightning flashed and thunder roared.

Gao Jian left for the place where Jing Ke often drank, the nameless tavern.

As soon as he entered, he saw Jing Ke.

Like Han Fei, Jing Ke was a heavy drinker.

"Xiao Gao?"

"Are you here to find me?"

Jing Ke looked in the direction of the sound and, upon seeing Gao Jianli, asked with a smile.

After saying that, he waved to Gao Jianli.

Although Jing Ke was only a few years older than Gao Jianli, Gao Jianli always regarded Jing Ke as an elder brother because of Jing Ke's righteousness and their mutual respect.

"Yes."

Gao Jianli nodded, unable to hide his frustration.

Seeing this, Jing Ke hesitated to speak, and then went to the private room on the second floor with Gao Jianli.

The first floor is crowded and noisy, not suitable for discussing serious matters!
"She's still cooperating with that scoundrel Xu Lin?" Jing Ke asked after they sat down.

Gao Jianli nodded, picked up the wine pot, and took a big gulp of rice wine.

"Things don't always go as planned; that's a normal part of life."

"If you had listened to me, you would have confessed your feelings to her last month. How could this have happened?"

Jing Ke said.

He had experienced something like this before. When Gongsun Li entered Xianyang, if he…

"I want things to happen naturally."

"If I reveal my feelings too early, I'm afraid my friends will..."

Gao Jianli sighed.

He was interrupted by Jing Ke before he could finish speaking.

"How can one achieve great things if one is afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind?"

Jing Ke said irritably.

Then let Gao Jianli eat some food, instead of just drinking.

After several rounds of drinks, Jing Ke began to comfort Gao Jianli.

"One should not put all their eggs in one basket."

Time heals all wounds.

“Back then, when Junior Sister Li insisted on staying in Xianyang, I was much more upset than you are now.”

"Isn't everything alright now?"

Jing Ke comforted him.

After he finished speaking, he patted Gao Jianli's shoulder forcefully.

"Besides, she has only just started cooperating with that bastard Xu Lin, so you are not without a chance."

"Come on, I'll take you to a brothel."

"Why should a grown man worry about not having a wife?"

Jing Ke said loudly.

Gao Jianli was unwilling to go.

He had no interest in women from brothels.

"You!"

Upon seeing this scene, Jing Ke shook his head helplessly.

Then he told Gao Jianli how he had transformed his grief and anger into strength, and made further progress in his cultivation.

“Xu Lin is, after all, the Grand Tutor of Qin. He can’t stay in Yan forever.”

"As for Miss Snow Maiden, if your cultivation advances further, why would she go to such lengths for you?"

Jing Ke said.

"Thank you, brother!"

Gao Jianli was taken aback at first, then his eyes lit up.

Jing Ke's words made sense, and he too would turn his grief and indignation into strength to reach even greater heights!
After saying this, Gao Jianli put down the wine pot, returned to his residence, and began practicing his sword.

……

the other side.

Jicheng, Feixue Pavilion.

The Snow Woman is writing a 'diary' in her bedroom.

It can't really be considered a 'diary' because she only writes it once every few months.

"Mr. Xu's sudden appearance completely disrupted my plans."

"I don't know whether cooperating with them will do more harm or more good, but at the moment, this is the only option I have."

"Because I can't afford to offend either Yan Yi or Yan Chunjun. In chaotic times, people are worse than dogs. I don't want to implicate the sisters of Fei Xue Ge, nor do I want to start all over again in a strange place."

"A gentleman judges by actions, not intentions. Mr. Xu's willingness to cooperate with me may be related to my appearance, age, or figure, but I think that's not the main reason. After all, with his status and position, what kind of beauty couldn't he have?"

"Mr. Xu's trip to Liaodong is fraught with danger, but with his cultivation and wisdom, he will surely be able to turn danger into safety."

"The State of Han has become a prefecture of the State of Qin. The States of Zhao and Wei are gradually declining. It will not be long before the State of Yan is next."

"At first, I had a pretty good impression of the Qin state. It's a world where the strong prey on the weak; the strong are strong, and the weak perish. When Qin was weak, it was attacked by Wei. Now that Qin is strong, why can't it attack Wei?"

"Later, when I entered Yan, whether it was officials or local merchants, they all said that Qin was a tyrannical Qin and that Qin law was a cruel law that made people suffer. This made me think for a time that Qin was a tiger and wolf, and that we should all rise up and attack it."

"Later, Mr. Xu emerged out of nowhere and invented all sorts of things that benefited the world, such as soy milk, toilet paper, and calligraphy brushes, which I really like."

"Qing'er just returned from Yingchuan County in the Qin State, which was formerly the State of Han. She said that the local people in Yingchuan live very well, and their quality of life is even better than that of Jicheng."

“I am a native of Zhao, and I have lived in Yan for almost ten years, but I have no feelings for either Zhao or Yan, because neither the King of Zhao nor the King of Yan cares for their people.”

"In my opinion, if a country's monarch does not love his people, that country should be destroyed, because I am a citizen, and if I don't think of myself, who will I think of?"

The snow woman with her white hair cascading down her back sat at the table, writing and talking as she spoke.

After she finished writing, she put it in the wooden box.
