New and dark light years

Chapter 162 Military Advisor Fang

An Xin thought for a moment and said, "Since Brother Li has vaguely guessed it, and you are also my friend, then I will tell you."

Li Lin nodded.

An Xin whispered, "The appearance of the Immortal Slaughtering Society means that the extraterrestrial demons have emerged again. At least that's what our elders in the Tianyi Sect say. At times like this, we have to learn any martial arts technique, as long as it's powerful. Besides, back then, it took many skilled Spirit Hunters to kill the extraterrestrial demons before we could barely eliminate them."

"Is this why you also want to recruit Spirit Hunters?" Li Lin sighed. "This is not good. If the Spirit Hunters don't come to the government and are recruited by your private sects, who will be responsible for the safety of the local area and the people in the future?"

"We're just recruiting a few people; it won't affect the overall situation."

“If every sect thought like you, things would get really complicated,” Li Lin sighed, then said, “But what does that have to do with a mere county magistrate like me!”

Anxin didn't actually have much affection for the government.

He simply admired Li Lin as a person.

“Let’s get back to what we were talking about.” Li Lin looked at An Xin: “I can write down the annotations for the paper doll for you, but what can you give me in return?”

"Our Tianyi Sect's most powerful internal energy cultivation technique... Nine Dragons Heavenly Gang Technique."

Li Lin laughed and said, "A very imposing name."

"Not only is the name imposing, but once the internal energy is cultivated, it becomes equally domineering," An Xin said smugly.

Li Lin could tell that An Xin was emanating a powerful flow of vital energy.
It's clear that the Nine Dragons Heavenly Gang Technique is indeed very powerful.

However, Li Lin didn't want it because he was currently practicing the 'Foundation Building Technique'.

Even the most basic immortal cultivation techniques are still superior to your martial arts training.

He shook his head: "I am a Spirit Hunter, this technique is not suitable for me. I'll choose something else."

"What kind of person does Brother Li want?" An Xin asked.

Li Lin thought for a while: "As for techniques, I can't think of anything right now. Could you write down a list for me to consider?"

"Naturally."

"Thank you." Li Lin clasped his hands in a fist and smiled. "I'll be staying here for two more days. See you tomorrow, okay?"

"good."

The two chatted for a while before parting ways.

Li Lin returned to the inn to rest.

The next day arrived quickly, and Anxi did not come, but Huang Yan sent someone to invite him over.

Li Lin arrived at the government office, gave his name, and was about to go in when he saw a young man walking out from inside.

Li Lin remembered the other person, Fang Fengyi, who was the Registrar of Households.

Li Lin politely clasped his hands in greeting and was about to pass by when the other man called out to him.

"and many more!"

Li Lin turned around and looked at the other person.

“I’ve seen you before, the county magistrate of Yulin County.” Fang Fengyi looked Li Lin up and down, a slight smile playing on her lips. “I’ve also heard people talk about you. Now that I see you again, you are indeed as handsome as they said.”

"Thank you for the compliment." Li Lin frowned slightly and said, "If there's nothing else to do when I join the army, I'll go in."

"Something came up." Fang Fengyi walked up to Li Lin and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, we'll soon be brothers-in-law."

Li Lin paused for a moment, then said, "Little Sister Huang..."

“Yes.” Fang Fengyi chuckled. “Ling’er is intelligent and beautiful. I have already sent a letter to the elders in my family, asking them to propose marriage on a chosen date.”

"Congratulations."

Li Lin didn't like his sister-in-law Huang Ling at all, and he could sense that she harbored resentment towards him. Therefore, for Li Lin, it was a good thing that she was getting married.

"Congratulations?" Fang Fengyi waved a paper fan, his tone indifferent: "Why should I need your congratulations? I just want to tell the county magistrate... Although we may become brothers-in-law, please don't try to associate with me or Ling'er. Our Fang family is not something ordinary people can associate with."

Li Lin raised an eyebrow and smiled, "That's absolutely right. I hope Military Advisor Fang will keep his word."

After saying this, Li Lin went into the county government office.

Fang Fengyi looked at Li Lin's retreating figure, her brows furrowed with doubt: "He doesn't seem to be the sycophant that Ling'er said he was."

Li Lin arrived at the yamen's courtroom, where Huang Yan was intently reviewing documents. Hearing the sound, Huang Yan looked up and saw Li Lin, then smiled and said, "Come closer." Li Lin stepped forward.

Huang Yan placed a document in front of Li Lin and said, "Take a look."

Li Lin was somewhat puzzled, but he still picked it up and read it silently.

After reading it, his expression became somewhat somber.

This document was issued by the Secretariat in the capital.

The gist is... We have already supplied the Northern Barbarians with a certain amount of tribute, so the Northern Frontier is temporarily safe. The court should turn its attention to the Southern Frontier and eliminate Qin Tuo, the traitor, within a year, and reclaim Yue County.

"It was too rushed," Li Lin said, returning the documents.

"You also feel it's rushed?"

Li Lin nodded and said, "Whether they are barbarians or Rongdi, they cannot be trusted. If the imperial army turns south, what will happen if the Northern Di cause trouble again?"

“Your thoughts are the same as mine.” Huang Yan nodded with satisfaction: “I also submitted a memorial, hoping it will be seen by the people of today.”

Li Lin sighed softly.

After a few months, he had gained some understanding of the world.

The current emperor doesn't care about politics; he spends his days refining elixirs with a few Taoist priests, hoping to become an immortal.

"Take those southern barbarian women back to Yulin County today." Huang Yan lowered his voice as he said this: "I have already covered up Zhang Guangqi's matter for you. No one will investigate this matter anymore, and you should not talk about it."

Li Lin nodded, clasped his hands in thanks, and said, "Thank you, Taishan."

"No need for thanks. This matter concerns the future of my direct lineage. I should thank you for your decisive action."

At this point, the father-in-law and son-in-law chuckled simultaneously.

Li Lin was very grateful for his father-in-law's understanding.

Huang Yan was certainly satisfied with Li Lin's abilities!

"You can go and hand over the documents to Military Advisor Fang later."

“This military advisor seems to have some issues with me,” Li Lin suddenly said.

Huang Yan laughed and said, "He's a jealous man, you don't need to worry about him."

"Also, this is what Qing'er asked me to bring to you."

Li Lin took out a small bundle and placed it on the table.

Judging from the shape of the bundle, it contained bottles and jars.

Huang Yan accepted the small bundle without any hesitation.

Although we still have quite a few health-boosting pills at home, they will run out in about six months if we don't replenish them.

Now that there are a few more bottles, it's naturally a good thing.

"Alright, you can go and get busy now," Huang Yan said with a smile.

Li Lin cupped his hands in greeting and went to the household registration office of the government office.

Fang Fengyi was working here at the time.

Li Lin knocked on the door and said, "I have come by order of the prefect to receive one hundred women from the southern barbarians and bring them back to Yulin County. Thank you for your help, Military Advisor Fang."

Fang Fengyi stood up and placed a document on the table: "Sign and stamp."

After carefully reviewing the document, Li Lin first signed it, then took out the county magistrate's seal and stamped it on.

Fang Fengyi saw Li Lin's Song-style calligraphy and snorted, "Extremely crafty..."

Li Lin laughed: "Naturally, it's not as unrestrained and arrogant as Fang Canjun's calligraphy."

"you!"

Fang Fengyi looked at Li Lin, seemingly having lost her guard.
