Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 57 Betting with the Moon Goddess?
After leaving Zhangtai Palace, Xu Lin did not return home, but stood at the fork in the road and fell into deep thought.

Should I go to Tongfu Inn to find Yan Fei, or go to the Imperial Observatory to find the Moon Goddess?
Since Lu Buwei is still alive, let’s go find the Moon Goddess.

After overthrowing Lu Buwei, he would contact Yan Fei.

It would be tiring to interact with too many people at the same time.

Just like many people in later generations find it difficult to make new friends after graduation.

Not only do you have to agree with your boss every day, but you also have to get along with colleagues who have different values. How can you have the time and mood to make new friends?

Soon, Xu Lin arrived at the Imperial Observatory as he wished.

The Moon Goddess was meditating in the study at this time.

When she learned that Xu Lin wanted to see her, her eyes lit up and she had Xu Lin brought in.

"Zheng Yue, long time no see!"

Xu Lin strode into the study and greeted with a smile.

After not seeing you for a few days, the Moon Goddess is more charming than before!
"Mr. Xu, long time no see."

"I wonder what the wind is that brings you here today?"

The Moon Goddess smiled coldly and asked back.

Her long light purple hair was tied up high with a sky blue crystal hairpin, decorated with silver branches and leaves carvings and silver beads. A strand of hair hung down on each side, making her look both dignified and mysterious.

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

Xu Lin stood with his hands behind his back and answered.

Then started wandering around the study.

Upon seeing this, the Moon Goddess waved her sleeves and dismissed the people around her.

Although she had replaced almost all the people in the Imperial Observatory with disciples of the Yin-Yang School, there were some things that even the disciples of the Yin-Yang School were not comfortable knowing.

"I wonder what Yue Jianzheng has been busy with recently?"

Xu Lin asked as he looked at it.

Although the study is not small, there are not many things in it, only a dozen books, all related to divination.

"Nothing."

"The Imperial Observatory is not like the Shadow Secret Guard. It doesn't have so much to do normally."

The Moon Goddess shook her head.

Then she lit the stove, knelt in front of the table, covered her white legs with her skirt, and personally poured a cup of tea for Xu Lin.

"I heard that Mr. Xu likes to drink tea and doesn't like to drink alcohol."

"I think I'm remembering correctly?"

The Moon Goddess asked, blinking her beautiful eyes.

"No."

"I didn't expect that Supervisor Yue would care about me so much."

Xu Lin smiled.

Then he took the tea bowl and took a sip of tea.

The tea tasted good, but a little strong. He liked lighter tea.

"Mr. Xu is a man of unparalleled talent. Looking at the whole Qin Dynasty, and even the whole world, besides the king, the person I admire most is you, sir!"

The Moon Goddess took a sip of tea and complimented.

Upon hearing this, Xu Lin smiled and shook his head, then picked up a book about divination and sat cross-legged opposite the Moon Goddess.

"From what I know, Yue Jian is the guardian of the Yin-Yang family. I think his divination skills have reached the highest level."

"I wonder if Yue Jianzheng could help me predict Prime Minister Lu's fate?"

Xu Lin asked, shaking the tea bowl in his hand.

"Lu Xiang's fate?"

"can."

"However, divination is very costly. I wonder what you plan to do..."

The Moon Goddess readily agreed and said immediately.

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

“Long illness makes a good doctor. Although I have never massaged anyone, I have people serving me every day.”

"If Yue Jianzheng doesn't mind, after the divination, I'll give him a massage for half an hour, how about that?"

Xu Lin asked loudly.

After saying this, he put down the tea bowl and stretched his wrists.

Seeing this, the Moon Goddess felt nervous.

In her opinion, men and women should not touch each other. Although she admires Xu Lin very much, it is just admiration!

Everyone knows that Xu Lin is lustful. Letting Xu Lin massage you is like inviting a wolf into the house, isn't it?

With this thought, the Moon Goddess waved her hand, indicating she was only joking, and that Xu Lin would not need to press her. She then put down the tea bowl, pulled a piece of tortoise shell from her sleeve, wrote the words "Qin Prime Minister Lü Buwei" on it, and began to recite the divine formula.

After more than ten breaths, a galaxy appeared above the Moon Goddess's head.

Xu Lin didn't understand astrology, so out of boredom he leaned back against the pillar and began to admire the graceful figure of the Moon Goddess.

Although the blue and purple robe that Yue Shen wore was very loose, it was still possible to see that Yue Shen had an excellent figure, probably not inferior to Li Wu.

The Moon Goddess is dignified, cold, mysterious and indifferent, which makes Xu Lin very curious about whether the Moon Goddess is consistent in appearance and reality, or a contrast and incompatibility!

……

After a cup of tea.

The galaxy disappeared, the Moon Goddess breathed a sigh of relief, and folded her hands on her thighs.

"how?"

Xu Lin asked curiously.

"It could be as long as a year, or as short as a few months."

"Lü Buwei must die."

The Moon Goddess answered.

Before coming to Xianyang, she had divined for Lü Buwei, and the result she got at that time was that Lü Buwei still had several years to live, and even had a chance to replace Ying Zheng. How come after a few months, not only was Lü Buwei no longer a match for Ying Zheng, but there was a high probability that he would not even live for a year?

When Xu Lin heard this, his brows raised with joy. He picked up the tea bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

"Sir, are you planning to take action against Lü Buwei?"

The Moon Goddess frowned slightly and asked.

She sat upright, giving a very good impression.

"If you were asked to choose between Prime Minister Lu, me, or the king, who would you choose?"

Xu Lin avoided answering and asked.

"Of course it's the latter."

"I am loyal to the emperor and I am paid by him. What do you need me to do?"

The Moon Goddess said without hesitation.

It is true that Lu Buwei is the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty and the Lord of Luowang, but in the eyes of Yue Shen, Lu Buwei has no future.

Luowang was not founded by Lu Buwei. To put it nicely, Lu Buwei was the leader of Luowang. In fact, Lu Buwei and Luowang had a cooperative relationship. Luowang could work for Lu Buwei because of his power, but could also abandon Lu Buwei because he made enemies!

"There's nothing for you to do at the moment."

"I'll write to you when you need me."

Xu Lin answered.

"it is good."

The Moon Goddess was stunned when she heard this, then nodded.

It seems that Xu Lin and Ying Zheng are really going to take action against Lu Buwei!
No wonder the divination result was that Lu Buwei could only live for another year at most!
"It's still early, how about a game of chess?"

After catching a glimpse of the chess pieces on the table from the corner of his eye, Xu Lin asked with a smile.

The reason why he didn't tell Yue Shen about the plagiarism of Lüshi Chunqiu was because he was afraid that Yue Shen would spread the matter.

The fewer people who know about the plagiarism of Lüshi Chunqiu, the better, otherwise it would easily reach Lü Buwei's ears!

"it is good!"

The Moon Goddess readily agreed.

Then he took out the chess pieces from under the table.

When she has nothing to do recently, she often plays chess with herself.

Like Xu Lin, she prefers chess to Go!

The Moon Goddess plays very quickly. After Xu Lin moves the chess piece, the Moon Goddess will attack or defend within ten breaths at most.

Unlike Li Ji's chess playing, which is sometimes fast and sometimes slow, sometimes taking half an incense stick to move a step, and sometimes only half a second to move a step.

……

After half a stick of incense.

Xu Lin deliberately lost to the Moon Goddess.

"It was very dangerous just now."

"You almost turned the tables, sir."

The Moon Goddess raised her dark eyebrows slightly and opened her thin lips.

Xu Lin smiled without saying anything, rolled up his sleeves and started the second game.

"Just playing chess seems less interesting."

"I wonder if Yue Jianzheng likes betting?"

After placing the chess pieces, Xu Lin asked casually.

He likes things to come naturally, so he is not in a hurry to have an in-depth discussion with the Moon Goddess. He just wants to know what it feels like to be massaged by the Moon Goddess, and what is the difference between it and the massage from Li Wu, Li Ji, and Jing Niu!
