Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 22 Shy Li Ji

After half a stick of incense.

Li Ji lost to Xu Lin.

"You're really one step behind. If you give me two more rounds..."

Li Ji said.

She was interrupted before she could finish her words.

It was not Xu Lin who interrupted her, but a strange bird call.

This time the birdsong was harsh, completely different from before.

Xu Lin's brows furrowed slightly when he heard the voice, then he raised his hand to signal Li Ji not to speak for the time being.

"Is this also your Luowang's secret code?"

After a few breaths, Xu Lin looked at Li Wu and asked.

Li Wu nodded.

"I remember Lu Qian didn't use this code when he contacted you before."

"Is this a change of personnel tonight?"

Xu Lin asked.

Li Wu shook her head to indicate that she didn't know either.

"Using the same bird call all the time can easily arouse suspicion."

“So it’s normal to change the bird’s call.”

"If I were Lu Qian, I would use the same bird call twice at most and then change it."

Li Ji said.

"Shall we make another bet?"

Xu Lin asked with a smile when he saw this.

"it is good!"

Li Ji was stunned when she heard this, and then she readily agreed.

When it comes to betting, there are only zero times and countless times.

Having already lost once, she doesn't mind betting again!
After seeing this scene, Xu Lin smiled and asked Li Wu to go out and "meet" with the Luowang killer.

……

After a cup of tea.

Li Wu followed the sound and came to Jingwei.

Li Wu was surprised to see that the person coming was Jing Niu.

Jing Niu is Luowang's top-ranked killer, and his status within Luowang is second only to a few people like Yanri.

"Master Jingwei, why are you here?"

Li Wu took a deep breath and asked respectfully.

"Although Xu Lin's official position is not high, he is not comparable to Chang'an Jun."

"Huayang Palace has already sided with the king, so this person is very important to the prime minister!"

Jingwei explained seriously.

"What has he been busy with lately?"

Jingwei asked expressionlessly.

"It's still the same as before. I take a day off every few days. On my days off, I either sleep or play chess with Li Ji."

Li Wu answered.

"Did he go to Ganquan Palace a few days ago?"

Jingwei asked.

Li Wu's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, then he nodded in agreement.

She didn't dare lie to Jingwei, because Jingwei's long, clear eyes could see through people's minds.

"Delay brings change."

"I'll give you two months."

"After two months, if he still refuses to serve the Prime Minister, find an opportunity to get rid of him."

Frightened Salamander said coldly.

"promise!"

Li Wu immediately accepted the order.

Then he turned around and returned to Xu Mansion.

She had only taken a few steps when Jingwei called her.

"Know thyself, ever-victorious."

"From today on, you must write down everything he does every day."

Jingwei ordered.

"Yes!"

Li Wu accepted the order without hesitation.

After saying this, she turned around and returned to Xu's house.

Did Xu Lin write down everything he did every day?
Did Xu Lin discuss things with her every night and write them down?

After complaining in her heart, Li Wu twisted her slender waist and walked towards the study.

Then he told Xu Lin what Jingwei had just said.

Li Ji looked bitter when she heard this.

If she had known this, she would not have made the bet with Xu Lin!

She shouldn't have made a bet with Xu Lin.

Now, not only did I lose, I lost twice!
"Frightened Salamander?"

"Luowang Tianzi's top assassin?"

"It seems that old thief Lu Buwei is getting anxious!"

After listening, Xu Lin smiled calmly.

Then he placed his hand on Li Wu's shoulder, telling her to be more careful in the future. Apparently, Jing Niu was more difficult to deal with than Lu Qian! "I understand!"

Li Wu nodded vigorously.

After saying that, she turned and went back to the bedroom.

Soon, Li Ji and Xu Lin were the only two people left in the huge room.

"Once a word is spoken, it is hard to follow."

"If I lose, I lose. What did you ask me to do first? Just tell me straight away!"

After more than ten breaths, Li Ji sat up straight and spoke calmly.

A man without integrity cannot stand, and she is not a person who goes back on her word!
"I wonder if Miss Gongsun has ever served anyone else?"

Xu Lin asked with a smile when he saw Li Ji's breathing becoming faster.

When Li Ji heard the word "serve", her heart tightened and she shook her head.

"It doesn't matter."

"Serving is simple, I'll teach you!"

Xu Lin said loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he mobilized his internal energy and closed the doors and windows in the air.

Upon hearing this, Li Ji hesitated to speak, then tied up her hair, unable to hide her nervousness.

Just as she had tied her hair up, she nervously knocked over the tea bowl in front of her.

"Miss Gongsun, don't be nervous."

"I'm not a tiger, how can I eat people?"

Xu Lin smiled and comforted.

Lizzie nodded and took off her coat that was soaked in tea.

Then he walked slowly towards Xu Lin and began to massage Xu Lin like Li Wu usually did.

Although she has never served others, even if she has never eaten pork, has she never seen a pig run?
……

After a stick of incense.

Xu Lin took off his coat and lay down comfortably on the couch.

Seeing this, Li Ji, with rosy cheeks, was reluctant but had to continue serving.

"How do you feel about the strength, sir?"

Li Ji asked while massaging Xu Lin's shoulders.

She had no experience in this and was afraid of Xu Lin's "sneak attack", so she was very tired.

She felt that serving Xu Lin was more than five times more tiring than practicing sword!
In less than half an hour, a thin layer of sweat broke out on her neck.

"A little small."

Xu Lindao.

Then he held Li Ji's wrist with his backhand and asked her to move down a little instead of pressing on her upper body.

"it is good."

Li Ji pursed her lips and spoke with difficulty.

After she finished speaking, she knelt down beside Xu Lin's feet and put her hand on Xu Lin's calf.

……

Less than half an hour later.

Snoring gradually began to sound.

Seeing Xu Lin fall asleep, Li Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he raised his wrist and wiped the sweat from his forehead with straw paper.

If Xu Lin doesn't fall asleep, she might not be able to leave tonight.

Just when Li Ji was about to go back to rest, Xu Lin suddenly turned over and held her in his arms.

This made Li Ji's body tremble, and she subconsciously wanted to slap Xu Lin.

If a man dared to touch her like this in Weiguo before, she would tear him into pieces!
"Miss Gongsun, have you forgotten something?"

Xu Lin saw that Li Ji was so angry that her eyebrows were raised and her face was red, so he asked with a smile.

When Li Ji saw that Xu Lin was pretending to be asleep, her chest heaved with anger. Xu Lin was so mean!

Her bet with Xu Lin was the stupidest decision she had ever made in her life.

"You've lost your bet twice. Serving was only the first bet."

Xu Lin added loudly.

After saying that, he sat up.

"it is good."

"I wonder what else you need from me, sir?"

Li Ji suppressed her displeasure and asked.

Although Xu Lin hadn't said anything yet, she already had a bad feeling!

"I'm a little hungry."

"I want to eat the noodles you made."

"Do you want to eat the noodles I made?"

Xu Lin let go of Li Ji's waist and asked with a smile.

Li Ji was stunned at first when she heard this, not understanding what Xu Lin meant, but soon her face turned red.

"Could you please put out the oil lamp before that?"

After more than ten breaths, Li Ji bit her lower lip and discussed with Xu Lin.

Who would have thought that Li Ji, who is usually as cold and beautiful as ice, would also feel embarrassed and shy?
"can."

Xu Lin nodded.

Then he used his hands as a pillow and leaned against the bamboo window.

In order to prevent Li Ji from being too shy, he considerately closed his eyes.

After seeing this scene, although Li Ji was extremely reluctant, she still tucked her hair, which was soaked with sweat and tangled into clumps, behind her ears.
