Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 95 Yan Lingji Arrives at the Xu Residence

"It doesn't matter who I am."

"However, I can tell you that I come from the Qin state."

"I came under orders."

Zhao Gao answered expressionlessly.

"Are you a Qin person?"

"Coming on orders? On whose orders?"

"I have never been to the Qin state."

Yan Lingji frowned slightly, then asked.

"Mr. Xu's order."

Zhao Gao said.

"Mr. Xu?"

Why did he ask you to come and save me?

How did he know I was being held here?

Yan Lingji blinked her beautiful eyes and pressed for an answer.

"You'll have to ask Mr. Xu in Xianyang yourself."

Zhao Gao said with a smile.

Then he left the cave with Yan Lingji.

"May I accompany you to Xianyang in Qin to see Mr. Xu again tomorrow?"

"I have something else to do."

Upon seeing the long-awaited moon, Yan Lingji discussed the matter with Zhao Gao.

She was a grateful person, but before going to Xianyang to repay her debt of gratitude, she wanted to kill Cao Xing!
"can."

"I will be waiting for you here at noon tomorrow."

Zhao Gao was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, but then agreed.

Aren't you afraid I'll never come back?

Seeing that Zhao Gao agreed so quickly, Yan Lingji teased him softly.

She loves to joke around with people!

"No one can stand without faith."

Mr. Xu dislikes people who break their promises.

"I can save you, or I can hurt you, so I advise you not to do anything foolish."

Zhao Gao reminded him in a cold voice.

Seeing Zhao Gao's serious expression, Yan Lingji suddenly felt bored.

She then nodded to indicate that she would not break her promise, and then leaped away.

……

More than half an hour later.

Xinzheng, South Korea, southern suburbs.

Centurion Cao Xing was negotiating the price of the crystal cage with the old man, unaware that Cao De was dead and that Yan Lingji had been rescued by Zhao Gao.

"Five hundred gold coins, not even an inch lower?"

Cao Xing asked.

"It's not that I'm unwilling to give you a discount, but the cost is over four hundred gold."

"I can't possibly lose money, can I?"

The old man explained.

"Row!"

"Five hundred gold coins, but I have one condition."

Cao Xing nodded.

"General, please speak."

The old man complimented.

Cao Xing was just a centurion, yet he addressed him as General Cao Xing. How could Cao Xing not be pleased?

"I can only give you two hundred gold coins for now."

"The remaining three hundred gold coins will be given after that girl is sold."

Cao Xing said solemnly.

"can."

"We are all Koreans, I believe the general will not break his word!"

The old man readily agreed.

Then they sent people to prepare the crystal cage.

"There will be many more opportunities to cooperate in the future. Once we give that girl away, you and General Cao De will definitely be promoted."

"Here's what I'll do: I'll give you two bottles of medicine as a token of our friendship!"

After more than ten breaths, the old man spoke loudly.

After speaking, he took out two bottles of medicine from under the table and handed them to Cao Xing.

"What is the use of this medicine?"

Cao Xing frowned.

"This medicine can make someone temporarily obey your every command."

"After the effects of the medicine wear off, she will forget what happened in the previous few hours."

The old man introduced it with a smile.

"Didn't you say that Baiyue woman was incredibly beautiful?"

"After locking her in the crystal cage, you and General Cao De can use this medicine..."

The old man added with a wicked grin.

"Are you sure that after using this medicine, it will make her..."

Cao Xing's eyes lit up.

He was interrupted before he could finish his words.

It wasn't the old man who interrupted him, but Yan Lingji.

"You want to have my sister?" Yan Lingji asked seductively.

As soon as she finished speaking, she walked towards Cao Xing, fiddling with the Fire Spirit Hairpin.

All the guards in the courtyard have been killed!

The old man sensed something was wrong when he saw Yan Lingji exuding murderous aura.

Just as he was about to hide in the secret room, Yan Lingji set his clothes on fire from a distance.

What are you doing here?

Cao Xing took a deep breath and questioned him.

The fact that Yan Lingji appeared here unharmed gave him a bad feeling!

Why can't I be here?

Yan Lingji smiled charmingly and asked in return.

Then, channeling his inner strength, he slashed Cao Xing's neck from a distance.

……

After half a cup of tea.

Cao Xing and the old man both died.

Seeing this, Yan Lingji smiled sweetly, then set the mansion ablaze and swayed her slender waist as she left.

"Hurry is not enough."

"I'll wait until I've repaid Mr. Xu's kindness before I go to save my master."

Yan Lingji glided like a wisp of smoke to a towering ancient tree, her long, fair legs pressed tightly together. Gazing at the dimly lit city of Xinzheng, she murmured to herself.

……

The next day.

Yan Lingji and Zhao Gao left Xinzheng together.

Zhao Gao drove the carriage himself, and Yan Lingji sat diagonally in the carriage, looking at the portrait of Zhao Gao that Xu Lin had made for him.

The Yan Ling Ji in the portrait is more mature than the current Yan Ling Ji, and looks like the Yan Ling Ji a few years from now.

"Is Mr. Xu a member of the Qin royal family?"

After a long while, Yan Lingji took a sip of boiled water and asked.

The reason she guessed that Xu Lin was a member of the Qin royal family was because Xu Lin's paintings were so good, so lifelike. Most people could not paint so well even if they watched her paint!
"No."

Zhao Gao shook his head.

"How old is he?"

"Is there a marriage?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Lingji's brows furrowed slightly, and she immediately pressed for an answer.

"You will know these things when you meet Mr. Xu in Xianyang."

Zhao Gao smiled sternly.

He wasn't a womanizer to begin with, and since Yan Lingji was the woman Xu Lin had his eye on, he didn't want to talk to her too much.

If Xu Lin sees him chatting and laughing with Yan Lingji after arriving in Xianyang, he will definitely overthink things. Therefore, it's best for him to talk to Yan Lingji as little as possible!
Yan Lingji hesitated upon hearing this.

Then I went to sleep.

She was afraid that Cao De and Cao Xing would grope her at night, so she rarely slept, only taking short naps when she was too tired to continue.

……

Five days later.

Xianyang, Xu Mansion.

Xu Lin was in the bedroom, gently stroking Jing Ni's jade legs while telling Ying Tao the story of "Journey to the West".

Not only Cherry listened with great interest, but Jingni was also completely absorbed.

Soon, Cherry fell asleep.

Seeing this, Xu Lin picked up the kettle, tilted his head back, and started chugging.

After downing the chilled tea in one gulp, Xu Lin let out a contented burp.

Seeing this, Jing Ni, whose long hair was tied up high, went to boil water, but Xu Lin stopped her as soon as she stood up.

"I don't want to drink water."

Xu Lindao.

"What do you want to drink?"

"Fish soup, mutton soup, or..."

Jingwei asked softly.

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Xu Lin.

"Madam, aren't you asking a question you already know the answer to?"

Xu Lin pulled Jing Ni into his arms.

Upon seeing this, Jingni blushed instantly, her face full of coquettish reproach.

The window wasn't closed properly, the door wasn't locked, and Cherry had just fallen asleep. It was daytime, so Jingni's face was as red as the sunset on a rainy day!
"Husband, wait a moment!"

"I'll go close the door."

Jing Ni lowered her voice and discussed it with Xu Lin.

She was afraid of being seen or heard by Li Wu and Li Ji!
"Need not."

"If they need to contact me, they will knock on the door."

Xu Lin refused immediately.

After saying that, he began to eat heartily.

Jingni sat upright on the soft couch, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. She kept glancing at Cherry to see if she was awake, and then at the bamboo window and the wooden door.

……

Half an hour later.

Just as Xu Lin was about to try something different, Li Wu's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"gentlemen."

"Eunuch Zhao requests an audience."

"He also brought a girl with him. The girl had long, flowing hair and looked to be around twenty years old. She should be the Baiyue woman Yan Lingji that you mentioned before."

Li Wu knocked lightly on the wooden door a few times and respectfully reported.
