Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 79 Death of Lü Buwei
at the same time.

Lu Mansion, Luoyang, Henan.

After dinner, Lu Buwei called his steward Lu Qian over.

"The Shadow Secret Guard assassins are all over Xianyang. It won't be long before word reaches Ying Zheng about Wang Zhan and the others befriending the eldest son."

"Go to Wusui in person."

"Hasn't Wang Zhi always wanted to avenge Bai Qi, the Marquis of Wu'an?"

"I can give him a helping hand!"

Lu Buwei said seriously.

After saying this, he wrote a letter to Wang Xi.

Wang He was Bai Qi's deputy general during the Battle of Changping. After Bai Qi was killed, Wang He was furious and has been holding it in until now!

"promise!"

Lu Qian immediately accepted the order.

Then he took the letter with both hands, put it in his arms, turned and left.

……

The next evening.

Zhao Gao arrived at Lu's mansion.

Considering that there must be no shortage of experts in the Lu Mansion, Zhao Gao did not come alone. Luowang killers such as Yanri and Qiansha also came.

After learning that Zhao Gao came on the king's orders, Lu Buwei had Zhao Gao invited into the study.

"I wonder why Eunuch Zhao came here uninvited?"

Lu Buwei asked with a smile.

Although he knew that Zhao Gao's coming was probably not a good thing, he still acted calmly!

"Does Marquis Wenxin know Wang Zhan?"

Zhao Gao stood with his hands behind his back and asked with a sinister smile.

"Wang Zhan?"

"I seem to have heard of this name."

Lu Buwei frowned slightly when he heard this, and then pretended to be stupid.

After seeing this scene, Zhao Gao stopped talking nonsense with Lu Buwei and directly threw the confessions of Wang Zhan and others in front of Lu Buwei.

"Your Majesty would rather trust these people than me?"

After seeing the confessions of Wang Zhan and others, Lu Buwei was furious, but he still smiled.

"It's no use talking more."

"Would you like to do it yourself, or should I help you?"

Zhao Gao said with an impatient look.

After saying this, he threw the poison to Lu Buwei.

Seeing this, the guards outside the door put their hands on the swords at their waists and were about to rush in to protect Lu Buwei.

"Is there no room for maneuver in this matter?"

Lu Buwei asked in a deep voice.

Zhao Gao shook his head.

"Eunuch Zhao, people go to higher places, and water flows to lower places."

"Don't you want to go one step further, even to the pinnacle of humanity..."

Lu Buwei forced a smile and advised.

He wanted to incite Zhao Gao to rebel by "painting a pie in the sky".

But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao suddenly drew his sword and stabbed Lu Buwei in the chest.

It's as fast as the wind!

Lu Buwei was not good at cultivation, and by the time he reacted, the sword had already pierced his chest.

"court death!"

After seeing this scene, the guards guarding outside the door rushed in immediately.

"Why don't you take action?"

Zhao Gao looked at Yanri and others not far away and scolded them.

Upon hearing this, Yanri and others immediately drew their swords and attacked the guards of Lu Mansion.

……

After a cup of tea.

Nearly a hundred guards were killed.

Lu Buwei fell in a pool of blood, already dead.

"If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place?"

Zhao Gao looked down at Lu Buwei's body and spoke.

Then he ordered people to set fire to Lu's mansion.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of rumbling horse hooves suddenly came from outside the door.

"Go see who's here!"

Zhao Gao ordered.

"Yes!"

The Luowang killer immediately accepted the order.

The person who came on horseback was none other than Lu Qian, the steward of the Lu Mansion.

When Lu Qian saw that the Lu Mansion was on fire and many Luowang assassins were standing outside the door, he immediately took out Wang Xi's reply letter from his arms and threw it into the grass when no one was paying attention.

After more than ten breaths, Lu Qian was brought before Zhao Gao.

"If I remember correctly, you were the housekeeper of the former Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Zhao Gao looked in the direction of the voice and asked with a smile.

"Yes!"

Lu Qian admitted with his neck held high. He was not afraid of Zhao Gao, wasn't it just death?

He believed that Wang Qi would avenge him and Lu Buwei!

"wanna die?"

"Okay, I'll make it happen for you!"

Zhao Gao said with a sinister smile.

Then he waved to the Luowang killer standing beside him.

puff!

Lu Qian was stabbed through by a sword and died instantly!
After confirming that Lü Buwei and Lü Qian were both dead, Zhao Gao personally set fire to Lü's mansion.

As flames shot up into the sky, Zhao Gao rode his horse back to Xianyang.

After Zhao Gao disappeared from sight, Old Liu, who had been hiding in the dark, picked up the letter that Lu Qian had thrown into the grass before and looked closely at the contents of the letter.

The letter only said that Wang Xi was willing to cooperate with Marquis Wenxin.

After reading it, Lao Liu's pupils trembled.

Wang Xi was once Bai Qi's deputy general, and his rank in the military was second only to Meng Ao, Wang Jian and a few others.

If this letter hadn't been discovered in time, something terrible would have happened!

Thinking of this, Lao Liu immediately rode his horse back to Xianyang.

He wanted to tell Xu Lin about this as soon as possible.

……

the other side.

Li Wu arrived at Jinghu as she wished and met Nian Duan, who was nearly thirty years old and dressed simply.

Nian Duan was writing a medical book in the study at this time, and the ten-year-old little girl Duan Murong was cooking medicine in front of the bamboo window.

Before Li Wu even entered the door, she smelled a strong medicinal fragrance.

"I wonder what's wrong with the girl?"

After a few breaths, Nian Duan looked in the direction of the voice and asked in a very official manner.

"I'm not here for medical advice."

"Instead, I'm here to ask you to come down the mountain, sir!"

Li Wu smiled charmingly and explained.

In this era, women can also be called "Mr.", but the prerequisite is that the other party is a great talent.

"Going down the mountain?"

Nian Duan frowned slightly when she heard that, then put down the brush and looked at Li Wu intently.

I wonder who ordered Li Wu to come here?

Mohism, Taoism, or Agriculture?

A few months ago, someone from the Mo family came to invite her to join the Mo family, but she refused!

She agreed with the Mohist ideas of "universal love" and "non-aggression", but she was a doctor, so how could she join the Mohist school?

"Correct."

"I'm here on the orders of Mr. Xu Lin, Deputy Commander of the Qin State's Shadow Secret Guard."

Li Wu nodded and went straight to the point.

"Xu Lin?"

"The one who invented papyrus and the printed book?"

Nian Duan was shocked when he heard this.

Li Wu nodded.

Seeing this, Nian Duan picked up the tea bowl, took a sip of tea, then looked towards Xianyang and fell into deep thought.

Xu Lin is a man of extraordinary talent, and she really wants to meet him.

But she is a master doctor, and it is inappropriate for her to rashly enter the Xu Mansion!
"Is Mr. Xu ill?"

After a brief pause, Nian Duan asked.

"No."

"Mr. Xu's wife is pregnant."

Li Wu shook her head.

She didn't want to lie to Nian Duan.

Because Xu Lin once said, "You will rise because of this, and you will fall because of this."

If you lie from the beginning, the end result will most likely not be good!
"Xianyang is the capital of Qin State. I imagine there are many famous doctors there."

"Mr. Xu is a man of extraordinary talent. It is said that the King of Qin admires him very much. Therefore, why would Mr. Xu bother to go so far and ask someone to come..."

Nian Duan asked in confusion.

She was interrupted by Li Wu just before she finished speaking.

"The gentleman said he couldn't trust anyone else."

"I only trust you, Master!"

Li Wu put her hands on her waist and explained.

After saying that, she shifted her gaze to the delicate little loli Duanmu Rong.

Duanmu Rong is also dressed very simply and looks very similar to Nian Duan. Is she Nian Duan’s daughter?

Didn’t you say that Nian Duan hasn’t gotten married yet?
"What do you want to do, girl?"

Nian Duan became alert when he saw Li Wu staring at Duanmurong.

Although she and Duanmu Rong have no blood relationship, she has always treated Duanmu Rong as her own daughter!

"Master, you misunderstood."

"I'm here to invite you to Xianyang, not to abduct you!"

"As far as I know, Master, you have a heart for the world. If you come with me to Xianyang, I can help you print 5,000 copies of the medical classics for the benefit of all people."

Li Wu waved her hands repeatedly and said.

With the technology of printing, it is not difficult to print 5,000 copies of medical classics!
