Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 7: Cold Li Ji

"Misfortune comes from the mouth, so don't talk about state affairs."

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Xu Lin shook his head and gave a serious reminder.

Walls have ears, and he didn't want to discuss Cheng Jiao's affairs with Lao Liu, Lao Ren and others.

"What the General Flag said is absolutely right."

"What are you all still standing there for?"

Old Ren nodded and immediately scolded.

Upon hearing this, the surrounding captains immediately lowered their heads and left.

"Is there anything you need to deal with today?"

Xu Lin asked after the captains walked away.

"Thanks to you, General, I have nothing to do today."

"Shall I get you some preserves?"

Old Liu complimented.

Xu Lin nodded and walked straight to the study.

After entering the study, he lay down on the bamboo chair he had made some time ago and began to rest with his eyes closed.

About a cup of tea later, Lao Liu came to him with a large plate of preserved fruits.

Old Liu walked very lightly, afraid of waking Xu Lin up, but even so, Xu Lin woke up.

With Xu Lin's cultivation level, he could even sense a mosquito approaching, let alone a person.

"grown ups."

"I heard you've taken in a new concubine, she's as beautiful as a fairy. Congratulations!"

Old Liu coughed twice and said flatteringly.

After he finished speaking, he personally poured a bowl of rice wine for Xu Lin.

"You are quite well-informed."

"But don't spread this around. You know, I don't like people talking about me behind my back."

Xu Lin said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

Old Liu accepted the order immediately.

Then he turned and left the study.

After Old Liu disappeared from his sight, Xu Lin sat up straight, picked up the bowl, drank a sip of rice wine, then picked up an orange and began to peel it.

Although many seasonings were not available in this era, the fruit was pretty good.

While eating oranges, Xu Lin began to think about the matter of Lu Buwei and Cheng Jiao.

According to the time calculation, Cheng Jiao should have rebelled.

He didn't want to get involved in this matter, but since Lu Buwei had placed Li Wu in his family, how could he not show some appreciation?
Lu Buwei is not good at cultivation. He relies on the Luowang assassins and thousands of retainers. Therefore, as long as Ying Zheng helps him, Lu Buwei will definitely be defeated!
Thinking of this, Xu Lin thought of someone.

A very famous person in history, Fan Yuqi.

Although Fan Yuqi was well-read in military books, he was birds of a feather with Yangquan Lord Mi Ling, and keeping him would be a great threat.

Thinking of this, Xu Lin called Lao Liu over.

Soon, Lao Liu came to Xu Lin.

"I wonder what the general commander wants?"

Old Liu asked in confusion.

"Take a few men with you to the front line to attack Zhao."

"Secretly monitor Fan Yuqi. If he plots treason, execute him immediately!"

Xu Lin said seriously.

When Old Liu heard this, he was stunned at first, and then shocked.

Isn’t Fan Yuqi from Huayang Palace?

How could he rebel?

Could it be that the Queen Mother Huayang would really take this opportunity to launch a mutiny as rumored, get rid of Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei, and then support Cheng Jiao to succeed to the throne?
"This is a serious matter. We should be prepared for the worst."

"Wouldn't it be better if he didn't plot treason?"

After seeing through Lao Liu's thoughts at a glance, Xu Lin asked with a smile.

"What the Lord said is absolutely true!"

"My subordinates will definitely live up to their orders!"

Old Liu nodded vigorously and clasped his fists in acceptance of the order.

Then he picked out a few reliable people and left the garrison with them.

After Old Liu walked away, Xu Lin opened the bamboo window and looked at Wei Guo.

It is said that Gongsun Liji was the most beautiful woman in Wei State. Is it true or not?
Although he watched "The Legend of Qin" and "The Legend of Qin" several times in later life, he can no longer remember what Tianming's mother, Li Ji, looks like.

After a brief pause, he began to paint Li Ji based on his remaining memory.

It took him half an incense stick to paint Li Ji. The Li Ji he painted was wearing a light yellow long skirt, her long hair tied up high, her waist was slender, and a long sword hung at her waist, looking heroic.

"I wonder when General Zhang will be able to bring Li Ji here?"

Xu Lin shook the tea bowl in his hand and muttered.

He was looking forward to it.

This era is a system of monogamy and polygamy, so in his opinion, the more beauties the better!

……

Five days later.

Zhang Han arrived at Yewang, Wei State.

Last year, the State of Qin conquered Puyang and other places in the State of Wei, and Lord Yuan of Wei was forced to move to Yewang.

Yewang is not big, let alone compared with Xianyang in Qin State, it cannot even be compared with Puyang.

After learning that Li Ji was temporarily staying at an inn called "Tongfu" on the outskirts of Yewang City, Zhang Han immediately rode his horse to Tongfu Inn.

There were still many things waiting for him to deal with in the Qin State, so he planned to "fight quickly and decisively" and bring Li Ji back to Xianyang within a day.

If it weren't for Ying Zheng's personal order, and Xu Lin had saved him before, there would be no need for him to come in person for matters like Li Ji's. He could just send a thousand households, a hundred households, or even a general!
When Zhang Han arrived at Tongfu Inn, Li Ji, disguised as a man, was eating in the lobby on the first floor of the inn.

"Sir, are you staying at the hotel or..."

The waiter noticed Zhang Han's long breathing and asked respectfully.

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhang Han.

"Give me a bowl of fat lamb stew and a pot of wine."

Zhang Han said expressionlessly when he saw Li Ji eating the fat lamb stew.

After saying that, he strode towards Li Ji and sat opposite her.

"okay!"

The waiter immediately took the order.

Then go prepare the fat lamb stew and good wine.

After Zhang Han sat down, he was about to chat with Li Ji when suddenly two middle-aged men sat next to Li Ji.

"Girl, why are you dressing up as a man?"

"Girl, you are definitely not married yet?"

The middle-aged man on the left asked loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he extended his hand to Li Ji's shoulder.

Li Ji frowned slightly when she saw this, then moved sideways to avoid the other party's "dirty hands".

"I don't want to kill anyone."

"It's still not too late for you to leave now."

Li Ji reminded in a cold voice.

"hehe!"

"kill?"

"She may not have a big chest, but she has a big mouth!"

The middle-aged man on the right sneered when he heard this.

Then he drew his sword and pointed it at Li Ji's neck.

Li Ji became displeased upon hearing this, then slammed the table and quickly walked out the door.

She didn't want to kill anyone in the inn.

After seeing this scene, the two middle-aged men were delighted and followed Li Ji out of the inn.

Zhang Han didn't want to be a hero and save the beauty, but Li Ji was the woman Xu Lin liked after all. If she was injured, how would he explain to Ying Zheng when he returned?
With this thought in mind, Zhang Han finished stewing the fat lamb at a whirlwind speed, then strode out the door.

By the time he arrived under the towering ancient tree, the two middle-aged men had already died under Li Ji's sword.

After killing the two middle-aged men with her own hands, Li Ji took out a piece of silk cloth from her arms and used it to wipe the blood off the blade.

Then he put the sword back into the scabbard and looked down at her proud breasts.

Although she was wearing men's clothes, her breasts were still very plump.

Otherwise, how could the two middle-aged men know that she was a woman disguised as a man?
"The young lady has outstanding swordsmanship. I wonder who her teacher is?"

Zhang Han asked when he saw that the two middle-aged men were dead.

"What does it have to do with you?"

Li Ji asked back coldly after hearing this.

After she finished speaking, she put her hand on the scabbard and looked at Zhang Han in the direction of the voice.

Although Zhang Han does not look like a lustful person, her grandfather Gongsun Yu once said, "Don't judge a book by its cover. It's better to be safe than sorry. When traveling in the world, one must always be vigilant!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Han frowned slightly, then took out two daggers from his waist.

He wanted to be soft on Li Ji, but it was obvious that Li Ji would not accept it.

In that case, he had no choice but to use force on Li Ji!
