People in the Qin Dynasty sought good fortune and avoided misfortune.

Chapter 446, Yan Lingji's White Silk

Zhen Gang's pupils dilated suddenly, then he lowered his head and said...

"It was the Marquis's tacit approval, and it was also my idea."

"The Marquis told me before that the Net is a double-edged sword, and whether a sword can hurt you depends entirely on the wielder, not the sword itself."

"Like the Black Ice Platform, the Net of Heaven can act as a hidden force for Qin in the dark, clearing away potential dangers for Qin."

"Lord Wenxin is right. The purpose of a sword is for the wielder. However, I hope that you and the sword Luo Wang will forever be aimed at the enemies of Qin."

Xu Qing stood up from his seat and walked over to Zhen Gang.

Just as Zhen Gang was about to seek survival, Lü Buwei did not want Luo Wang to be abandoned by Ying Zheng. Therefore, he wanted to make him the new master of Luo Wang. Only in this way could the Luo Wang assassins belonging to Lü Buwei's faction protect themselves, and only then could Ying Zheng feel at ease with Luo Wang.

The Net is a very good murder weapon. Although he has connections with the Medical School, the Heavenly Sect, the Gongyang Confucian School, and other schools, all of them are public figures. It is more convenient for the Net to do some things.

Seeing Xu Qing agree, a glint of light flashed in Zhen Gang's cold eyes. He took the Zhen Gang Sword from behind him, presented it to Xu Qing with both hands, and said in a deep voice...

"I will obey the orders of the Grand Chancellor. From now on, I will be loyal to the Great Qin, loyal to the King, and loyal to you."

Xu Qing didn't quite understand the meaning behind Zhengang's actions, but he figured it was some kind of ritual unique to the Luo Wang, so he reached out and picked up the Zhengang sword, then put it back in his hand.

"Go and get to work. Go to Qianlong Hall in Xinzheng and tell Situ Wanli that you need him to help me raise a batch of grain to send to Nanyang. Also, have him pass this message on to Tian Guang."

After Xu Qing finished speaking, he took out a pre-written note from his sleeve and handed it to Zhen Gang, continuing, "I will continue."
"Send another messenger to Xianyang, so that Marquis Wenxin can begin his operation."

"Yes."

Zhengang solemnly accepted the secret letter. He understood that every move he made in this operation in Nanyang would determine his value in Xu Qing's eyes, and he could not afford to make the slightest mistake.

After hiding the secret letter in his bosom, Zhen Gang turned and left the restaurant to carry out the task assigned by Xu Qing.

Looking at the pitch-black night sky outside, Xu Qing revealed a malicious smile and said in a low voice.
"Brother Han Fei, this time you may end up with nothing."

After finishing the last bit of wine in the flask, Xu Qing left a small bag of Bai Nie and then left the restaurant. Not long after, he returned to his Luo Wang stronghold.

The Luo Wang stronghold was quite large. From the outside, it didn't look like the stronghold of some assassin group, but rather like the courtyard of a wealthy merchant.

The room where Xu Qing and Yan Lingji rested was in the main house.

Xu Qing looked at the brightly lit room and a smile appeared in her eyes. Yan Lingji was indeed waiting for her.

Looking back, he's been working hard for over a month on the covenant between heaven and man and the plan to surrender Nanyang to Qin. It's time for him to relax.

After patting his firm lower back, Xu Qing strode towards the house. He intended to knock on the door, but as soon as he knocked hard, the door was pushed open.

Xu Qing's smile deepened, and like an eel, he slipped into the house, closed the door behind him, and bolted it shut.

Lock the door.

After making all the preparations, Xu Qing turned around and looked into the room, where he saw Yan Lingji lying on her side on the small couch, looking at him.

Those dreamlike, icy blue eyes seemed to be smiling, yet not quite. She rested one hand on her exquisitely beautiful face, her rosy lips curving slightly, carrying a charming and alluring smile.

The white, exquisite nightgown perfectly showcased her graceful figure, her curves captivating, like a snow-white mermaid.

The white ribbons of her dress slipped off her fragrant shoulders, causing her white strapless bra to droop as well. Her already stunning curves, under the subtle pressure, made her firm, snow-white breasts, like mutton-fat jade, half-free from their restraints, half-naked in Xu Qing's sight.

Her skin, as white as fresh snow, glowed with a peach-colored halo under the flickering lights, echoing her white nightgown and adding a touch of ambiguity.

A pair of long, shapely legs were partially hidden beneath the hem of her skirt, encased in thin white stockings that made her already fair and smooth legs even more alluring.

Between her crossed legs, a pair of delicate feet were revealed, with cute toes slightly curled under the transparent white socks, like perfect jade.

Tiny feet lightly touched the edge of the bed, soles slightly open, adorable toes gently sliding, giving one the urge to hold them in the palm of one's hand and play with them.

Noticing Xu Qing's gaze, Yan Lingji's face lit up with a charming and mischievous smile. Her slender fingers landed on her thigh, gently tracing the stockings stretched taut by her beautiful legs, adding a touch of youthful playfulness to her alluring gesture.

"Why are you coming back now?"

Yan Lingji's voice was extremely soft, her long, curled eyelashes trembled slightly, and her dreamlike eyes blinked slowly, her gaze tender and gentle, like an elf from a fairy tale.

"Aren't you asleep yet? I thought you were already asleep."

Xu Qing walked to the small couch, sat down next to Yan Lingji, and said with eyes full of doting affection.

"They were already sleepy, weren't they just waiting for you?"

Yan Lingji's soft, languid voice carried a hint of melancholy as she gently placed her small hand near her mouth, lightly tracing her red lips.

Her red lips, glistening with a little saliva and slightly shimmering, looked even more alluring.

A few strands of crystalline substance were carried away by the fingers, the delicate silver thread slowly stretched out, then suddenly snapped and fell.

"Now that I'm back, let's go to sleep early. I'll carry you to bed."

Xu Qing looked at the extremely charming Yan Lingji and opened his arms to pick her up. However, a small, fair hand suddenly appeared in front of him, and the index finger gently touched his forehead, pushing him away.

"Ok?"

Xu Qing looked at Yan Lingji with a puzzled expression.

Yan Lingji propped herself up, her exquisite face close to Xu Qing's ear, and whispered softly...
"People have been spending these past few days on horseback; the beds there are too hard, not as comfortable as the small couches here."

Her slightly flushed face radiated heat, and her skin pressed against Xu Qing's face almost imperceptibly, like a cat toy, constantly teasing the restless kitten in Xu Qing's heart.

A glint flashed in Xu Qing's eyes. Now that Yan Lingji had said those words, he knew exactly what she was thinking.

I'm used to riding horses, so I need to adjust my posture before sleeping on the bed.

"Where am I supposed to find you a fast horse so late at night?"

Xu Qing smiled and leaned back slightly, placing his hand on Yan Lingji's beautiful legs covered in white stockings. He gently stroked and slid his hand down to grasp her curled-up little foot.

Yan Lingji trembled slightly, her face grew even redder, and a deep rosy hue gradually appeared on her exposed skin.

Beneath the pristine white dress, the pink of peach blossoms swirled, and a warm breath filled the air between Xu Qing and Yan Lingji, causing their breathing to become rough.

"There aren't any fast horses here, but there's a fine one!"

Yan Lingji narrowed her eyes slightly, a smile appearing on her face. After freeing her small foot from Xu Qing's grasp, she pressed him down onto the small couch. With a swift movement, she mounted her horse.

Xu Qing lay on the small couch, looking up at Yan Lingji. She saw the other woman place her hand on her skirt sash, her slender fingers gently fiddling with something.

Before Xu Qing could see what Yan Lingji was going to do, his vision was obscured by a white object.

A thin, unladylike white undergarment was tossed onto Xu Qing's face by Yan Lingji. A faint, delicate fragrance lingered in Xu Qing's nostrils, gradually relaxing him.

"You stinky man~ I'll teach you a lesson tonight for messing around with other women~"

Yan Lingji looked at Xu Qingjiao and snorted. Her small feet, wrapped in white silk, stepped on the edge of the small couch, and her cute toes supported her entire body.

With her vision blocked, Xu Qing couldn't see anything, but she could feel rustling sounds coming from her body, followed by the feeling that a heavy object was pressing down on her waist.

After a lecture, it was already late at night.

At this moment, Yan Lingji had lost her previous domineering attitude. She leaned lazily against Xu Qing's chest, her enchanting face flushed with a captivating blush. Her rosy lips parted slightly, exhaling a fragrant breath, but her beautiful eyes looked at Xu Qing with a defiant expression, as if to say, "Go ahead and torment me to death."

Tonight, she started the fight, and she wanted to teach Xu Qing a lesson, so she couldn't just admit defeat.

"Go to sleep, it's getting late. If you keep making noise, it'll be dawn soon, and you won't be able to get up tomorrow."

Xu Qing slapped Yan Lingji's pert buttocks in an annoyed manner, kneaded them a couple of times, and then carried her to the bed.

As soon as Yan Lingji was placed on the bed, her beautiful legs hooked around Xu Qing, pulling him directly into her arms.

Xu Qing braced himself on the bed, looking helplessly at the strong-willed Yan Lingji. This Baiyue girl's indomitable spirit was indeed powerful.

"You don't have anything else to do tomorrow, so stay with me~"

Yan Lingji clung tightly to Xu Qing, gently biting his neck with her small, red lips as if she were holding him.

Xu Qing pondered for a moment. In any case, he had given all the necessary instructions. Now, he just had to wait for news from all sides, as well as for Situ Wanli to leak the information to Tian Guang, which lured the peasants into the scheme.

"That's true, anyway, there's nothing else going on these past two days."

Xu Qing rolled around on the bed with Yan Lingji in his arms, pinning her down. Their eyes met, and he was ready to go straight for the kill.

After sensing Xu Qing's firmness, Yan Lingji felt a little guilty, but her flushed face remained stubborn. Her charming eyes suddenly opened and then narrowed, and her pursed lips opened and closed slightly.

As night deepened, the bright moon hung above the tree branches.

A muffled sound echoed from inside the room, and Yan Lingji lay limp and powerless.

Her pretty face was flushed with a charming blush, her small mouth opened and closed slightly as she breathed, her eyes wandering, as if she had been quite exhausted and had little strength left, too lazy to even move a finger.

"Are you going to teach me another lesson?"

Xu Qing leaned against the bed and looked at Yan Lingji, who still had a strong craving for vegetables.

"Master, I know I was wrong~"

Yan Lingji answered weakly, her eyes filled with excitement mixed with a hint of resentment as she looked at Xu Qing, seemingly blaming him for his rudeness. She tried to raise her small hand, but it fell limply to the ground.

Seeing this, Xu Qing reached out and hugged Yan Lingji, allowing her to rest properly.

Yan Lingji buried her head in Xu Qing's arms, snuggling lazily against him, and gently exhaled a fragrant breath that landed on Xu Qing's hard chest.

"I met Bai Yifei tonight, and he doesn't seem to want to surrender to Qin directly."

Xu Qing stroked Yan Lingji's smooth back with one hand and recounted his negotiations with Bai Yifei that night.

"So how do you plan to deal with Han Fei and Liu Sha? Sister Zi Nu is still inside Liu Sha, are you willing to go after her?"

Yan Lingji's voice was soft and gentle, like a caring little sister looking after Xu Qing, but her words were full of jealousy, and her slightly open eyes held a hint of amusement.

"Why bring up Zi Nu? She's still on her way back to Korea. By the time she gets back, everything in Nanyang will be over."

Xu Qing gently patted Yan Lingji's pert buttocks and said.

"Hmph~" Yan Lingji snorted softly, her small hands gently sliding up and down Xu Qing's body.

She knew that this scoundrel wouldn't be willing to lay a hand on Zi Nu, otherwise he wouldn't have deliberately gone down the mountain the day before the Korean delegation left, and he would have taken the shortest route, Wuguan Road. With this, by the time Zi Nu and the others returned to Xinzheng, Xu Qing in Nanyang would definitely have made all the necessary arrangements.

"You stinky man!"

Yan Lingji said jealously, a hint of displeasure appearing on her face. She braced herself with her hands, ready to teach Xu Qing another lesson.

There are only oxen that die from exhaustion, but no fields that are ruined by plowing.

"Stop messing around, can you even handle this?"

Xu Qing hugged Yan Lingji, his concern tinged with helplessness and affection.

"Master~ You'll know if I can handle it or not by trying it yourself~ I really want your approval."

After whispering a sentence in Xu Qing's ear, Yan Lingji collapsed onto the bed, covering her eyes with a strand of black hair, adding a touch of mystery to her already charming face.

The expression, the voice, the way he addressed her—Xu Qing shuddered and sat up abruptly.

"If you want to gain the master's approval, then you must accept the master's trials."

Xu Qing couldn't stand it anymore. He grabbed Yan Lingji and slapped her on the buttocks.

"Put your hair up, kneel down properly, lift your buttocks, pull in your stomach, and straighten your chest!"

After sensing that Xu Qing showed no sign of strength or confidence, Yan Lingji became even more flustered. This stinky man looked exhausted just now, how come he's so energetic now?

"I was wrong, I was wrong, I'm not playing anymore~" Yan Lingji begged for mercy.

"Now you're scared? What were you doing all this time?"

Back in Taiyi Mountain, this little vixen had teased him, and today Xu Qing felt he had to teach Yan Lingji a lesson.

Let her know that women cannot play with fire, as it is easy to get burned, and in the end, physical means must be used to extinguish the fire.
