Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 82: Nian Duan and his disciples arrive at Xu Mansion
Ten days later.

The renovation of Wu'an Jun Mansion was completed, and Bai Yousi moved in.

The news soon spread throughout the Qin State.

When Wang Qi, the left minister who was far away in Wusui at the border, learned about this, he was stunned at first and then shocked.

"What do you mean?"

"The king has rehabilitated Wu Anjun?"

"Let his daughter live in the Wu'an Jun Mansion?"

Wang Xi, whose hair and beard were completely white, said in disbelief.

Although he is over fifty years old, he is still energetic. Wearing black armor, his aura is not inferior to many generals in their thirties!
"Correct."

The captain nodded.

Then he took out a few pieces of straw paper from his arms and handed them to Wang Xi with both hands.

The straw paper depicts Bai Yousi moving into Wu'an Jun's mansion, with the people of Meiyi surrounding Wu'an Jun, unable to hide their joy.

"this?"

"How could this be?"

Wang Xi frowned.

He stared at the straw paper, and soon his hands began to tremble.

He didn't expect that Ying Zheng would rehabilitate Bai Qi, the Marquis of Wu'an!
Didn’t Lu Buwei say that Ying Zheng would not rehabilitate Wu’an Jun?

He was deceived by Lu Buwei!

Thinking of this, Wang Xi looked towards Meiyi.

Why is he reluctant to return to the countryside?

It was to vindicate Wu Anjun.

Now that Wu'an Jun's daughter Bai Yousi has moved into Wu'an Jun's mansion, it's time for him to retire!
But before that, he had to go to Xianyang and explain to Ying Zheng what the letter was about.

"Ready your horse."

"I am going to Xianyang."

Thinking of this, Wang Xi gave the order.

"General."

"What are you doing in Xianyang?"

"Lü Qian and Lü Buwei are both dead. The king probably didn't see the letter, otherwise..."

The thousand-man commander advised.

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Wang Xi.

"Even if the king hasn't seen the letter, I should still confess this to the king."

"I've done it, how can I get away with it?"

Wang Xi's face turned stern.

Seeing that Wang Xi had made up his mind, the captain stopped trying to persuade him.

But instead of preparing a fast horse for Wang Xi, they prepared a carriage for him.

Xianyang was nearly a thousand miles away from Wusui, and Wang Qi was old, so it would be too tiring for him to travel on horseback.

"General."

"I don't think there's any need to rush for a day or two."

"So you still take..."

The thousand-man commander suggested.

He was interrupted again by Wang Xi before he could finish his words.

"Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Wang Zhihu's eyes widened and he scolded.

"My subordinates dare not."

The centurion immediately shook his head.

Then he personally went to pick out a fast horse for Wang Xi.

……

Three days later.

Wang Xi arrived in Xianyang.

After confirming that Bai Yousi had inherited the title of Wu'an Jun, he knelt in front of Zhangtai Palace.

When Zhao Gao saw that the person coming was Wang Xi, the garrison commander of Wusui, he immediately told Ying Zheng about the matter.

"General Wang Zhi?"

"Let him in."

Ying Zheng frowned slightly, and then said.

Zhao Gao nodded.

Soon, Wang Xi came in front of Ying Zheng.

"I, the guilty minister Wang Xi, pay my respects to the king!"

Wang Xi knelt on one knee and apologized.

Ying Zheng turned a deaf ear and continued to review memorials.

Although what Wang Xi did some time ago did not cause serious consequences, he must be punished!
When Zhao Gao saw that Ying Zheng did it on purpose, he immediately dismissed his attendants and then he also retreated.

……

A quarter of an hour later.

Ying Zheng put down his brush, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea.

Then he looked at Wang Xi who was kneeling not far away.

"I, the guilty minister Wang Xi, greet the king!"

After feeling Ying Zheng's gaze, Wang Zhi spoke again.

"Criminal subject?"

"What crime have you committed?"

Ying Zheng asked sternly.

"I once believed Lü Buwei's slander and attempted to kidnap the king, asking him to redress Wu'an Jun's innocence."

"I am so audacious, I deserve death!" "Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

Wang Zhi told the truth.

"Do you think I won't exonerate Wu Anjun?"

Ying Zheng stood with his hands behind his back and asked.

"I was blinded by greed at the time."

Wang Xi shook his head and explained.

"Fortunately, this incident did not lead to a major disaster, but I still deserve death for my attempt to kidnap you, Your Majesty!"

Wang Xi knelt on his knees.

"People can not escape from doing wrong?"

"King Zhaoxiang makes mistakes, I make mistakes, and you will make mistakes too!"

Seeing Wang Zhi's sincere attitude, Ying Zheng spoke.

"Although this incident did not cause any serious consequences, I will still punish you."

"Considering that you were once the deputy general of Wu'an Jun and performed countless meritorious services, I will give you a chance to redeem yourself from your crimes and make meritorious contributions."

"Go back to Wusui and prepare to attack Han!"

Ying Zheng said seriously.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"I will definitely fulfill your mission!"

Wang Xi was shocked when he heard this, and then he patted his chest and made a promise.

Ying Zheng nodded and let Wang Zhi go back.

After Wang Qi walked away, Ying Zheng walked slowly to the window and looked at Wu Sui.

There were two reasons why he did not punish Wang Xi severely.

First, the matter of Wu'an Jun was indeed King Zhaoxiang's problem.

Second, Wang Xi took the initiative to come to Xianyang to confess his guilt with a sincere attitude.

If Wang Xi did not take the initiative to come to Xianyang to confess his guilt, even if he could escape the death penalty, he would still be punished alive!
……

the other side.

Master Li Wu and his disciple Nian Duan arrived in Xianyang.

"girl."

"It's getting late, so let's stay at this inn."

"Mr. Xu, if you need anything, you can come to this inn to find me."

Nian Duan spoke when she saw Li Wu asking her and Duanmurong to go to Xu's house.

She didn't want to go to Xu's house with Li Wu now for two reasons.

First, it is said that Xu Lin is very lustful, and it is not safe to go to Xu’s house late at night.

Second, after the long journey, she wanted Rong'er to rest as soon as possible as she was a little carsick.

Not only were the carriages of this era incomparable to the sedans of later times, the roads were also completely incomparable, so Duanmu Rong suffered from severe motion sickness and nearly vomited several times.

"It's still early, let's go see the gentleman first."

Li Wu refused immediately.

"Alright."

Seeing that Li Wu had made up her mind, Nian Duan had no choice but to agree.

……

After half a stick of incense.

Nian Duan entered Xu's house and met Xu Lin and Jing Niu.

Jingwei, with a cool temperament, was leaning on Xu Lin's chest and reading a book.

Following the sound and seeing Nian Duan, Jingwei immediately sat up straight, put down the book, and coughed twice.

Xu Lin had just fallen asleep when he was woken up by Jingwei's cough. He stretched comfortably.

"gentlemen."

"Master Nian Duan is here!"

Li Wu took two steps at a time and came to Xu Lin and reported.

After she finished speaking, she raised her hand and pointed at Nian Duan, who was dressed simply.

The little Loli Duanmurong stood beside Nianduan, blinking her big dark eyes at him.

Although Duanmu Rong is young, she is very brave and she is not afraid of Xu Lin at all!
"Mr. Nian Duan, I have long heard of your great name!"

"Please come in!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Lin bowed to Nian Duan.

Then he asked Nianduan to sit next to Jingwei and give Jingwei a quick check.

Nian Duan nodded slightly and began to check.

……

Half an hour later.

Nian Duan let go of Jingwei's wrist and looked at Xu Lin.

"Madam is in good condition."

"The fetus is in good condition."

"If nothing unexpected happens, it will take at most half a month."

Nian Duan's voice was gentle.

Although she was nearly thirty years old, she behaved like an older sister, which made Xu Lin a little distracted.

It’s not that he is lustful, but Nian Duan at this moment is just like Duanmu Rong in the original Qin Shi Huang, with such a good temperament.

"In that case, please stay at your house for a while, Mr. Nian Duan."

"Is this your apprentice?"

"You can live together."

Xu Lin looked at the little loli Duanmurong and suggested loudly.
