Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 19 Step by Step
"No!"

"I'm just used to the life here and I'm afraid that my quiet life will be disrupted."

After more than ten breaths, Li Ji shook her head in denial.

Sleeping until she wakes up naturally every day, then practicing sword and playing chess, this kind of life makes Li Ji feel very comfortable.

In the past, when she was in Wei State, she had to get up at dawn every day to practice sword. When Gongsun Yu was still alive, she needed to discuss state affairs with Gongsun Yu. After Gongsun Yu passed away, she had to dress as a man to avoid being noticed by others.

Zhao Ji was the Queen Mother of Qin. If she fell in love with Xu Lin, Xu Lin would most likely have to move to Ganquan Palace. Who would then play chess with her?
Without Xu Lin's protection, could she and Li Wu be safe in Xianyang?

After convincing herself, Li Ji turned her attention towards the direction of King Qin's Palace.

During these days in Xianyang, she discovered that the Qin State was not as barbaric as the people of Wei said. On the contrary, Qin had laws to follow for everything, and common people could also get titles through military merit. This was much better than the Wei State's "no etiquette for common people"!

"If you put yourself in my shoes, I am a Qin person."

"What Mr. Xu said about the Puyang battle is not without reason."

Li Ji covered her chest with the quilt and murmured.

Although her breasts are not particularly impressive, they are in no way inferior to Li Wu's.

She just usually wears loose clothes, so it doesn't look that big!

Although Li Ji and Xu Lin had only been together for less than a month, she already felt more for Xu Lin than for Jing Ke.

Li Ji was a person who admired the strong. Whether in terms of talent or cultivation, Jing Ke was far inferior to Xu Lin. Even in terms of appearance, Jing Ke was not as good as Xu Lin.

Jing Ke was fond of drinking, had high aspirations, liked to brag, and was not mature at all, all of which were things that Li Ji disliked.

Otherwise, she would have married Jing Ke long ago.

Xu Lin is well-educated, highly accomplished, and handsome. Looking around the world, it is probably difficult to find another man like him!

Thinking of this, a hint of worry flashed across Li Ji Qiu Shui's eyes.

After Jing Ke learned that she was "kidnapped", he would not come to Xianyang to "rescue" her, right?
It was true that she was "kidnapped" by Zhang Han, but she and Xu Lin had become good friends now and she stayed in Xu's house voluntarily.

After a brief pause, Li Ji lifted the quilt, sat up, and wrote a letter to Jing Ke.

This matter was of great importance and required Xu Lin's consent. Therefore, after finishing writing, Li Ji put on her coat and walked slowly towards Xu Lin's room.

Although it was late at night, the light in Xu Lin's room was still on.

Li Ji, with her long flowing hair, was about to knock on the door when she heard a faint hum.

This made her blush instantly.

Then he took his hand back.

"It's already three o'clock in the morning."

"Can't you guys spar again... tomorrow?"

Seeing the voices getting louder and louder, Li Ji frowned and thought to herself.

She doesn't like staying up late.

In her opinion, it is better to get up early and practice sparring at this time.

Li Ji did not return to her room, but put the letter on the stone table in the courtyard, put her hands behind her back, and looked up at the bright moon.

The moon is very round and beautiful tonight.

Under the bright moonlight, Li Ji was incredibly beautiful, and was not inferior to those female stars in later generations.

……

After half a stick of incense.

The evening breeze blew, and Li Ji couldn't help sneezing.

Then she tightened her clothes, picked up the letter and walked towards Xu Lin's room.

Although the sound was much quieter than before, the 'competition' was not over yet.

Seeing this, Li Ji had no choice but to give up.

According to Li Wu, Xu Lin is just as good on the bed as he is off the bed. Who knows when they will end it?
……

The next day.

Xu Lin and Li Wu slept until noon.

After waking up, Xu Lin let go of Li Wu's shoulders and stretched comfortably.

Li Ji had just finished preparing lunch.

After having a good meal and tea, Li Ji took out the letter from her sleeve and handed it to Xu Lin.

"gentlemen."

"My senior brother is often impulsive. I was afraid he might misunderstand my coming to Xianyang, so I wrote him this letter."

"My senior brother's name is Jing Ke. He should be in Jicheng, the capital of Yan."

Li Ji explained seriously.

"it is good."

Xu Lin readily agreed.

Then he put the letter into his sleeve and continued eating.

After eating, he strolled back to his bedroom.

Li Wu hadn't gotten up yet.

After sitting down, Xu Lin opened the envelope and read the contents of the letter.

What was said in the letter was exactly the same as what Li Ji had just said. After reading it, Xu Lin looked satisfied.

This shows that he is at least halfway to getting Li Ji. Although Xu Lin is lustful, he doesn't like to force people. He is like a bulldozer, taking advantage of every beautiful woman he sees.

He likes to proceed step by step, making the other party go from confusion, even disgust, to bewilderment, then to appreciation, and finally to initiative.

Lizzie has now apparently reached the penultimate step.

Otherwise, would she have told Jing Ke in the letter that she was not "captured" but came to Xianyang voluntarily?

"gentlemen."

"What are you so happy about?"

"Can you share it with me?"

Li Wu asked with a charming smile upon seeing this.

Although she didn't get up, she couldn't fall asleep either.

Xu Lin said nothing after hearing this and handed Li Ji's letter to Li Wu.

"Congratulations sir!"

"I believe that in half a year, no, three months at most, Miss Gongsun will be just like me, following your lead, sir!"

After reading the letter, Li Wu said flatteringly.

After saying that, she put the letter on the windowsill and tied up her messy hair.

"Is it tasty?"

After more than ten breaths, Xu Lin asked condescendingly.

Li Wu looked up at Xu Lin and nodded without hesitation.

……

More than half a month later.

Lao Ai arrived in Xianyang and met Lu Buwei.

"Are you Lao Ai?"

Lu Buwei glanced at the burly Lao Ai and asked.

Lao Ai was more than eight feet tall, with well-developed muscles, and his arms were thicker than Lu Qian's legs.

"Yes."

Lao Ai nodded.

"I heard that you can use the Wheel of Reincarnation?"

Lu Buwei asked sternly.

Then he waved his sleeves to dismiss his attendants, leaving only Lu Qian and Lao Ai.

"Correct."

"If you want to see it, I can do it now..."

Lao Ai said in a loud voice.

He was very proud of this, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lu Buwei.

Lu Buwei didn't have a homosexual tendency, so how could he possibly want to watch a reel performance?

"grown ups."

"I have personally seen him perform the Wheel of Fortune. It was quite exaggerated."

"Looking around the world, I'm afraid there's no one else who can do this."

Lu Qian took a few steps forward and reported respectfully.

When Lu Buwei heard this, he showed satisfaction. He believed what Lu Qian said.

"Do you know why I came to you?"

After a few breaths, Lu Buwei looked at Lao Ai and asked.

Lao Ai shook his head.

Lu Qian only said that the Prime Minister's Mansion was short of people and wanted to see him perform the art of turning the wheel. He did not say what he wanted him to do specifically after arriving at the Prime Minister's Mansion, but I think it should be related to the "wheel turning".

"Are you willing to serve me?"

Seeing this, Lu Buwei asked again.

"I am willing to die for you, sir!"

Upon hearing this, Lao Ai immediately knelt on one knee.

Lu Buwei was extremely powerful. If you could cling to Lu Buwei, you could do whatever you wanted in the future.

"it is good."

"Go and prepare yourself. I will arrange for you to enter Ganquan Palace in a while."

Lu Buwei said.

Lao Ai is now too big and needs to be starved for a while, otherwise he will not be able to enter Ganquan Palace as a eunuch.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Lao Ai was stunned at first, then delighted, and immediately clasped his fists in acceptance of the order.

As far as he knew, Ganquan Palace was the bedroom of the current Queen Mother of Qin. If Lu Buwei asked him to go to Ganquan Palace, wouldn't that mean that he was asked to serve Queen Mother Zhao Ji?
It is said that Zhao Ji was only in her thirties. How could a woman who was favored by Lu Buwei and Ying Yiren not be pretty?
When he thought of this, Lao Ai couldn't stop laughing.

His 'wheel-turning technique' has reached perfection, and he is confident that he can use it to win over Zhao Ji and make her obey his orders!
