Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

at the same time.

In Jicheng, the capital of Yan, Jing Ke and Gao Jianli were drinking with Yan Cheng, the steward of Yan Dan.

"What are your thoughts on this collaboration?"

Yan Cheng inquired.

Jing Ke's cultivation was extremely high, and Gao Jianli was not to be underestimated either; the two of them were very suitable to serve Yan Dan.

Gao Jianli remained silent upon hearing this and looked at Jing Ke.

The world is bustling with activity, all for profit; the court is scrambling for fame. Yan Dan is the crown prince of Yan and the quasi-successor of the Mohist school.

Serving him will lead to a bright future.

"This is a serious matter, there's no rush."

"You guys discuss it first."

"Cheng went to the toilet."

Upon seeing this, Yan Cheng immediately pretended to have a stomachache and went to the outhouse.

Clearly, Gao Jianli wanted to discuss this matter with Jing Ke, and there were some things he didn't want Jing Ke to hear.

Yan Cheng didn't mind, because his task was simply to win over Gao Jianli and Jing Ke.

"Brother Jing, what do you think?"

After Yan Cheng had gone far away, Gao Jianli asked.

He used to be indifferent to Yan Dan, but now he feels that serving Yan Dan is not a bad idea.

The Mohist school was among the most prominent of the Hundred Schools of Thought. Although the State of Yan was weak, it was still one of the five states east of the mountains.

With his help and that of Jing Ke and others, the weak swallow may very well become a strong swallow.

"I don't care."

"But he just said that if I agree, I'll have an endless supply of drinks."

"Alcohol is the old hero!"

Slightly tipsy, Jing Ke spoke in a loud voice.

After Li Ji became Xu Lin's woman, he became increasingly addicted to alcohol, feeling unwell if he didn't drink for a day.

I have gradually developed a drinking habit, and I can't fall asleep without drinking half a jin (250ml) before bed every night.

"If that's the case, then we agree?"

"It is better to offer help in times of need than to add flowers to brocade. The Crown Prince is in dire need of capable people right now."

Gao Jianli said.

Jing Ke nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing this, Yan Cheng, who was outside the door, was overjoyed.

Then he took out the gold ingots he had prepared beforehand from his bosom and handed them to Jing Ke and Gao Jianli.

"It will be available every month from now on."

Yan Cheng promised.

Although Yan Dan has fled to the Mo Family's Mechanized City, he still has a lot of money. After all, he is the Crown Prince; how could he be short of money?

Thank you.

"What does the Crown Prince need us to do?"

Jing Ke held the gold ingot in his hand and asked.

He liked the gold coin very much.

"There's nothing for you to do for now."

"When there are missions, His Highness the Crown Prince will write to you or send me to find you."

Yan Cheng replied.

After chatting for a while, he left the tavern.

"Gold cakes are a good thing."

"It's been many years since I last held a gold coin in my hand."

"Back then, Wei Kingdom still existed, and Master was still..."

Jing Ke looked out the window and sighed.

He burst into laughter before he could finish speaking.

Enjoy life to the fullest when you're successful; what's the point of dwelling on painful things?

Whether you're feeling down or happy, it's still a day, so why not enjoy it to the fullest?

"Xiao Gao."

When was the last time you touched a woman?

Jing Ke's eyebrows danced with excitement.

"Brother, you're drunk!"

Gao Jianli blushed instantly.

He looks much more youthful and innocent than in the anime, so blushing is a frequent occurrence, though it's happening less and less lately.

Am I drunk?

Jing Ke couldn't help but let out a burp.

"drunk!"

"And he was completely drunk!"

Gao Jianli replied without hesitation.

After saying this, he helped Jing Ke leave the tavern.

After sending Jing Ke home, Gao Jianli stared intently at Feixue Pavilion.

Just now at the tavern, Yan Cheng said that if they didn't have anything to do recently, they could help Yan Dan win over some people, and there would be a reward after it was done.

"You want to go see her?"

Seeing this, Jing Ke sat up, supported by the straw mat, and took a big gulp of water.

He thought he was affectionate enough, but he didn't expect Gao Jianli to be even more affectionate than him.

She's just a woman.
Three-legged men are hard to find, but two-legged women are everywhere.
"Yes."

Gao Jianli did not deny it.

He rarely lies now.

"Brother." "You're so knowledgeable and worldly-wise, do you think if I go to her, I can make her abandon her evil ways and come to the light?"

Gao Jianli turned to look at Jing Ke and asked with a serious expression.

He wanted Xue Nu to also switch allegiance to Yan Dan.

Xu Lin is a womanizer, and if Xue Nu cooperates with him, trouble is bound to happen sooner or later.

He didn't want to watch the Snow Maiden fall into Xu Lin's hands.

"It's difficult."

I advise you not to go.

Jing Ke offered his suggestion.

Xue Nu's mind was made up; for Gao Jianli to try to persuade her again would only bring him humiliation.

"Difficult? Does that mean there's still a chance?"

"Big brother, you should rest first!"

Gao Jianli's eyes revealed a look of joy.

Then we went to Feixue Pavilion.

Watching Gao Jianli walk further and further away, Jing Ke hesitated, wanting to say something but holding back.

You can't teach someone by just talking; you have to teach someone by doing.

He couldn't accept it either when he first returned from Xianyang.

Li Ji is his junior sister, and the two grew up together. How did Xu Lin manage to get involved?

Later, considering that it was Li Ji's own choice and that she probably already had Xu Lin's child, he gradually accepted it.

You can't force these things.

Did Gao Jianli not know that Xue Nu was cooperating with Xu Lin voluntarily?

He clearly knew, but he was unwilling to admit it.

Love is something you can't pursue.

"If she were truly interested in you, would she be cooperating with that scoundrel Xu Lin?"

Jing Ke said.

Then he let out another burp, wrapped himself in the blanket, and started to sleep.

……

After an incense stick has burned.

Gao Jianli arrived at Feixue Pavilion.

Upon learning that Gao Jianli insisted on seeing her, Xue Nu sighed helplessly and then had her maid take Gao Jianli to her room.

The Snow Woman was kneeling in front of the table, making a cloak.

The cloak was exquisite, in black and gold.

"Why can't everything wait until tomorrow?"

The Snow Woman looked in the direction of the sound and asked in a detached voice.

She initially had a decent impression of Gao Jianli, but after meeting Xu Lin, her impression of Gao Jianli worsened.

Gao Jianli used to be a man of few words and never did anything out of line. But after Xu Lin appeared, Gao Jianli seemed to become a different person.

"I intended to wait until tomorrow, but..."

Gao Jianli explained.

If he hadn't drunk a lot, he probably wouldn't have come to find the Snow Maiden now, since it's very late, almost midnight.

"It's alright."

"What's on your mind?"

The Snow Woman's voice was devoid of any emotion.

She continued sewing the cloak while talking to Gao Jianli.

As far as she knew, Xu Lin had come to Ji City and would soon leave Yan State.

Before Xu Lin left the Yan Kingdom, she wanted to give him this cloak as a token of her gratitude.

Without Xu Lin's help, even if she could kill Yan Yi and Lord Yanchun, she would find it difficult to stay in the Yan Kingdom any longer.

Gao Jianli nodded, stepped forward, and told Xue Nu about serving Yan Dan.

"When all the birds are gone, the good bow is put away."

“Xu Linna… he is ultimately a subject, and the King of Qin will never tolerate him.”

"If you cooperate with them, you are very likely to be implicated."

Gao Jianli said solemnly.

He wanted to say "that scoundrel Xu Lin", but he was afraid of displeasing Xue Nu, so he didn't say the word "scoundrel".

"My relationship with him is purely professional."

"She's not his woman, so why would she be implicated by him?"

The snow woman's eyes were calm.

"If the King of Qin wants to get rid of him, he will surely exterminate his entire family."

"And Yan Dan is the crown prince, the future King of Yan, and the leader of the Mohist school."

"His future prospects are no less than Xu Lin's."

Gao Jianli added.

"so what?"

You want me to have my cake and eat it too?

The Snow Maiden smiled sweetly.

She had a fair impression of the Mohists, but a bad impression of the State of Yan and the State of Yan.

Yan Dan is a hypocrite. Even without Xu Lin, she would not serve Yan Dan!
I want you to abandon darkness and embrace the light.

Gao Jianli said.

"How do you know that Yan Dan is in the light and Mr. Xu is in the dark?"

The Snow Woman chuckled.

Then she brought her legs together and placed the cloak on them. (End of Chapter)
