Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 36 Li Ji in his arms
After a stick of incense.

Xu Lin arrived at the Shadow Secret Guard’s post in Xianyang.

"grown ups?"

"Why are you here?"

"Aren't you taking a break recently?"

Old Ren looked in the direction of the voice and was surprised when he saw Xu Lin. He asked in confusion.

After dealing with the affairs of Beidi County, Zhang Han gave Xu Lin a month's vacation, but the time has not yet come!

"I happened to be passing by and came in to take a look."

"Is there nothing happened recently?"

Xu Lin picked up the bamboo slips on the table and asked as he flipped through them.

Although straw paper has been invented for a long time, some people still like to use bamboo slips. They have developed a habit and it is difficult to change it in a short time.

"No big deal."

"It's just some trivial things."

Old Ren shook his head.

Then he personally made a cup of tea for Xu Lin.

"Since it's nothing serious, please keep an eye on someone for me recently."

"His name is Lao Ai, and he is said to be skilled in the art of turning the wheel."

Xu Lin said seriously.

He and Zheng Ge are in the same boat, so how could he allow the historical tragedy to repeat itself?

In history, if Zhao Ji had not given birth to two children for Lao Ai, Ying Zheng probably would not have turned so evil later on!
Who can bear the betrayal of their own mother?

"Lao Ai?"

"Is this Lao Ai that your Excellency is talking about a native of Zhao?"

Old Ren frowned and asked back.

"Seems to be."

Xu Lin said uncertainly.

"He died before you, my lord, went to Northland County."

Lao Ren said.

"He should have died in the internal strife in the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"After he became a retainer in the Prime Minister's residence, he often went to places of entertainment and became famous."

"But not long after, he was killed by people from the Prime Minister's Mansion. I don't know the specific reason."

"But what can be confirmed is that Lao Ai is dead."

Lao Ren added.

After hearing this, Xu Lin nodded thoughtfully.

Then he patted Lao Ren on the shoulder and told him to work hard, then he turned and left the guard post.

Lao Ren rarely lies, and he has done Lao Ren a favor, so Lao Ren should not lie to him.

Although it is unknown why Lao Ai was killed, his death was a good thing for him and worth celebrating!

Should we celebrate at Ganquan Palace or at Li Ji's bedroom?

After pondering for a moment, Xu Lin decided to go to Li Ji's bedroom to celebrate.

After all, Zhao Ji is Zheng Ge's biological mother, and Lu Buwei still holds all the power. Huayang Palace is only temporarily siding with Zheng Ge, so it is better for him to have less contact with Zhao Ji for the time being!

After Lu Buwei and Huayang Palace were completely overthrown and Zheng Ge was crowned, it would not be too late for him to have in-depth exchanges with Zhao Ji.

It is true that Zhao Ji is the queen mother, but what Xu Lin wants to be is not Zhao Ji's "face-to-face lover", he wants to be Zhao Ji's best friend, a male best friend with whom he can share what he has!
Thinking of this, Xu Lin smiled.

Good food is never too late, so there is no rush regarding Zhao Ji’s matter.

……

That night.

Xu Mansion, on the outskirts of Xianyang City.

After dinner, Xu Lin did not soak his feet, but went to Li Ji's room.

dong dong dong.

Xu Lin knocked on the wooden door several times.

Li Ji was startled when she heard the sound, and immediately put down her clothes and sat up straight.

"Who?"

After a few breaths, Li Ji coughed twice and asked in a cold voice.

Who is so rude so late at night?
Didn’t you see she had turned off the lights?
"I."

Xu Lin smiled calmly and replied.

"gentlemen?"

"I wonder why you've come to visit me so late at night?"

Li Ji frowned slightly when she heard this and asked.

After she finished speaking, she suddenly stood up, lit the oil lamp, and opened the wooden door.

"I wonder what Miss Gongsun is busy with?"

"Still up so late?"

Xu Lin asked with a smile when he saw Li Ji's messy hair and red cheeks.

After saying that, without waiting for Li Ji to respond, he entered Li Ji's bedroom.

Li Ji's bedroom is very tidy, completely different from Li Wu's.

Li Wu's bedroom was a mess, with rouge, powder, clothes, and toilet paper thrown everywhere!

"I was just about to go to sleep when you came, sir."

Li Ji answered.

Then he put on his coat.

The off-white nightgown she wore was very thin. "Miss Gongsun, what do you think of giving a peach in return for a plum?"

Xu Lin glanced at Li Ji's nightgown, sat cross-legged in front of the table, and asked while making tea.

He was in no hurry because there was plenty of time.

“I think it should be so.”

Li Ji answered seriously.

As soon as she finished speaking, she tied up her hair.

"well said."

"Last time, it was you, Miss Gongsun, who spoke so sweetly. This time, it's my turn to return the favor."

Xu Lin said loudly.

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Li Ji to respond, he suddenly stood up, pulled Li Ji into his arms, and covered her mouth.

The sudden attack made Li Ji's mind go blank.

After more than ten breaths, Li Ji finally broke free from the restraints.

"Sir, what are you doing?"

Li Ji's cheeks gradually turned red and her voice became stern.

Xu Lin's behavior is simply hooliganism!

"Didn't I just say that?"

"To throw a peach, to return a plum."

Xu Lin explained with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Li Ji glared at Xu Lin.

Xu Lin is really getting worse and worse. When she first moved in, she thought Xu Lin was a gentleman!
"I wonder what Miss Gongsun thinks about giving up halfway?"

Seeing this, Xu Lin took a sip of tea and asked with a smile.

“I don’t like to do things halfway.”

Li Ji told the truth.

She hates giving up halfway, so she either won't do it at all, or if she does, she will go all out!

"Me too."

"That's why I came tonight."

"The service after the last bet was just the prologue."

Xu Lin said with a smile.

After he finished speaking, he drank the hot tea in the bowl and held Li Ji in his arms again.

"Miss Gongsun, has anyone ever said that you are the most beautiful woman in Wei State?"

"no!"

"Did your grandfather tell you what kind of man you should marry in the future?"

"without!"

"Do you like boys or girls?"

"do not know!"

……

at the same time.

Jingwei's room.

After vaguely hearing Li Ji's breathing, Jing Wei became upset and called Li Wu over.

"I wonder why you suddenly called me here?"

Li Wu asked with pretended respect.

"What do you think of movable type printing?"

Jingwei's voice was indifferent.

After she finished speaking, she picked up the tea bowl and took a big sip of the cold tea.

Xu Lin is indeed a lustful man. He actually stayed up late at night to attack Li Ji!

Before attacking Li Ji, have you ever thought about who lives in the room next to Li Ji?
How can others sleep with such loud breathing?

She Jingwei is also a woman, and she is in her prime!
"I believe that movable type printing is as good as papermaking."

"Movable type printing can be used to print books for sale, but it can also be used to benefit the people."

Li Wu answered.

She was already accustomed to the heavy breathing and unbearable groans, so she was hardly affected.

"What do you think of Xu Lin?"

Jingwei asked with a stern face.

Although she could block out the sounds in Li Ji's room through her inner strength, she would still hear auditory hallucinations because she already had images in her mind.

"A rare talent, rare once in a century, but difficult to win over."

Liwudao.

She didn't know what was in Jingwei's gourd, so she tried to tell as few lies as possible.

"What do you think of Luowang?"

Jingwei nodded and asked seriously.

Li Wu's heart skipped a beat when she heard that.

Why did Jingwei suddenly ask this?
Has she realized that she has turned to Xu Lin?

But if that was the case, there was no need for Jingwei to waste time talking to her, he could just kill her directly!
Thinking of this, Li Wu took a deep breath and pursed her lips.

"Don't dare to say?"

Seeing that Li Wu was slow to speak, Jing Niu spoke coldly.
