New and dark light years

Chapter 505 I'm in trouble with Junior Sister Lu
"I've never even heard of the Jing'an Division's Jianghu Inspectorate." Xiao Chunzhu looked at the other person and sneered, "Does our imperial court even have such an institution?"

After more than two years of growth, Xiao Chunzhu now has a complete understanding of all the institutions and departments in the officialdom.

He had never heard of such an organization before.

They even brought out a bronze tiger-head talisman!

Even a military commander leading thousands of troops didn't have a bronze tally.

Xu Chen snorted: "This department was specially established by Prince Lu to deter villains in the martial arts world. There's a tiger-head bronze talisman as proof. Supervisor Xiao, why don't you let it pass!"

He looked directly at Xiao Chunzhu. Although he was standing on the ground in a low position, the expression in his eyes was one of superiority.

He looked down on the other person.

Xiao Chunzhu could naturally see the meaning in the other party's eyes. He sneered, "I admire the righteousness of Prince Lu in going north to resist the Di people. But you, Xu, claim to be under the command of Prince Lu. You may not be so."

"With the tiger tally here, how could it be fake?"

"The tiger tally might not even be genuine." Xiao Chunzhu snorted. "Arrest him and send him to the military governor."

Upon hearing this, Xu Chen flew into a rage: "How dare you! We are men of the Prince of Lu. Does Military Governor Li intend to rebel?!"

Xiao Chunzhu chuckled a few times.

The surrounding cavalrymen also laughed.

This malicious laughter immediately alerted Xu Chen.

"Retreat!" Xu Chen roared.

Xiao Chunzhu stopped laughing and raised her right hand forward.

His subordinates immediately drew their bows and nocked them.

Li Lin's concept of cavalry was actually learned from the Di people.

Cavalry was used for reconnaissance, harassment, and pursuit.

Therefore, all you need is basic leather armor, one long and one short weapon, and... a short bow.

In his view, cavalry was the most elite branch of the entire army.

He was skilled in riding and archery, horsemanship, and combat.

With a wave of Xiao Chunzhu's hand, dozens of arrows were shot out in just two breaths.

Xu Chen was the fastest runner; after all, he had already run into the woods when he shouted "Let's go!"

In this situation, the only way to escape the cavalry was to run into the woods.

Xu Chen's lightness skill was quite good; he felt whooshing sounds behind him, as well as his companions' screams.

But he dared not look back, and could only run into the woods with all his might.

After a volley of arrows, dozens of cavalrymen rushed forward and crushed the enemies who had been shot but were not yet dead into mincemeat.

Xiao Chunzhu looked towards the woods and clicked her tongue, "That kid runs faster than a rabbit."

Someone nearby asked, "Should we go into the woods to hunt them down?"

“No need.” Xiao Chunzhu shook her head: “Our mission is to protect Temple Master Lu. Everything else is just secondary. Let’s go… escort Temple Master Lu back.”

About half an hour later, Li Lin saw Lu Ying being protected by Xiao Chunzhu and other cavalrymen.

She walked here, and the reason she wasn't given a horse to ride is quite simple.

Firstly, there aren't enough horses.

Secondly...she is clearly Li Lin's future woman, his concubine, who would dare to ride a horse with her!
Lu Ying came to Li Lin's side, looked up at him, her eyes full of joy.

Li Lin looked at the sky... a cloudy day with snow falling, and it was almost evening.

He looked at the surrounding terrain; the area around the official road was fairly flat and suitable for setting up camp.

"Pass down the order: all soldiers shall rest on the spot, cook their own meals, and spend the night here."

Xiao Chunzhu nodded and led her men to relay the orders.

Only then did Li Lin turn to look at the girl beside him: "Junior Sister Lu, what are you doing here!"

"That's a long story."

"We'll talk about it later," Li Lin said with a smile. "Let's set up camp first."

“Okay.” Lu Ying nodded obediently.

An hour later, the makeshift military camp was completed.

Inside the largest command tent, Li Lin sat on a blanket, opposite Lu Ying, who was eating a steaming bowl of rice.

"It's delicious. I haven't had hot food for days," Lu Ying said as she ate.

Li Lin chewed on the dried meat and asked curiously, "I've been wanting to ask you this for a while. Didn't you go to Hangzhou to participate in some martial arts tournament?"

"Yes."

"Why did you come here?" Li Lin asked.

Hangzhou is located in the eastern part of the region, while this place is near the central part of the Great Qi.

Logically speaking, even if someone got lost, they couldn't possibly get lost this far.

Lu Ying smiled and said, "I was chased here by them."

"Pursuit?"

"Because I accidentally snatched this thing." Lu Ying took out a booklet from her bosom and handed it to Li Lin.

Li Lin took it and looked at it. The booklet was blue with black characters, and it read: "Return to Dreamland".

"what is this?"

Lu Ying said, "It's a book about secrets related to immortals. I heard it contains great secrets, but I can't understand it."

When Li Lin opened the book, he found that it was full of distorted calligraphy and paintings.

It can't even be called a word.

Because these so-called characters are very abstract. They look like pictographs, but upon closer inspection, they resemble random scribbles.

Just as Li Lin was about to ask what kind of writing it was, he suddenly received a notification.

[Celestial Script +1]

Ok?
Li Lin was stunned for a moment. Heavenly script?
What region of China uses this script?

Lu Ying had been watching Li Lin's expression closely. Seeing the strange look on his face, she asked, "Senior Brother Li, will this thing be useful to you?"

Li Lin laughed and said, "It's useful! But where did you steal it from?" Lu Ying immediately smiled happily and told him what had happened during this period.

It turned out that a dozen days ago, when she, her senior sister Fang, and her fellow disciples returned to Jin County, they suddenly heard that a divine object had appeared in the nearby Lishui County, which seemed to be related to immortals.

She knew all along that Tianyi Sect was a cover for the Seeking Immortals Society, and she also knew Li Lin's desire for immortal treasures. Therefore, she led her fellow disciples to Lishui City to seize the treasure and give it to Li Lin.

The idea came without any hesitation or consideration of safety; it seemed as natural as breathing.

And it actually worked.

Thanks to her paper-crafting and lightning-strike techniques, and with the protection of her fellow disciples, ordinary martial arts sects really couldn't compete with them.

Unexpectedly, just as they managed to snatch the booklet, Xu Chen and his men appeared and began to hunt them down.

In order not to burden Senior Sister Fang and her fellow disciples, Lu Ying broke away from the group and kept fleeing this way.

Actually, she didn't intentionally run this way, but felt that Xu Chen was deliberately forcing her to run in this direction.

Li Lin frowned in thought: "It's uncertain whether this thing is related to immortals, but it is definitely something valuable."

Anything that can trigger your own 'hint' is definitely not simple.

“It was glowing before,” Lu Ying said.

"Glow?"

Li Lin looked over again, and the messy handwriting was irritating.

Then, several more notifications appeared: "[Heavenly Script +1]".

Li Lin suddenly felt that he could barely recognize a few characters in the text, even if they were separated by a few paragraphs.

'Eat...the...ghost...history!'

Ok?
Li Lin's eyes were narrowed, and his face was almost scrunched up like a chrysanthemum.

Seeing his funny expression, Lu Ying wanted to laugh, but covered her mouth to hold it in and asked with bright eyes, "Did you see something strange?"

"It's really weird."

Li Lin answered, and was about to recognize a few more characters when he felt his body become a little lightheaded.

He was suddenly stunned... He had spiritual energy protecting him, and he could easily have sex with ten women a day, so how could he be in such a 'weak' state?

He turned his attention back to himself and realized that, without him noticing, seven or eight tenths of the spiritual energy in his body had disappeared.

Only a little over 20% remains.

How is this going!

Li Lin was stunned for a moment. His first thought was that he had been poisoned, but he immediately dismissed the idea.

Because his medical skills were excellent, how could he not feel that he wasn't poisoned?

Then there is only one possibility.

He then turned his attention back to the 'Heavenly Seal Script' in the booklet.

[Celestial Script +1]

Li Lin immediately closed the booklet and took another moment to feel his body.

I discovered... the spiritual energy has actually decreased a bit more.

Wait, learning this Heavenly Seal script requires consuming spiritual energy?

What amazing writing!

As he was sighing, Lu Ying gently moved her legs and came to Li Lin. She asked, "Senior Brother Li, you don't look well. What happened?"

"The spiritual energy has been absorbed."

Li Lin explained the situation.

Because Lu Ying and Liu Shen are good friends, she is aware of many of Li Lin's affairs and secrets.

There's no need to hide the matter of spiritual energy from her.

Lu Ying blinked subconsciously: "Then aren't you in great danger! What will you do without spiritual energy?"

“I can take the Spirit Pill.”

"Senior Brother Li, how many bottles of spirit pills did you bring?"

"Two bottles, please."

"So few!"

Actually, that's quite a lot. One Spirit Pill can restore 20% of Li Lin's spiritual energy.

A bottle of Spirit Pills contains thirty pills.

Li Lin smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's more than enough."

“No, the pills will run out quickly.” Lu Ying looked at Li Lin: “Such an important thing should be used at the most important time. Now is not the time.”

"Is now the wrong time?" Li Lin asked, somewhat puzzled.

Lu Ying blushed and said, "Because there are other methods."

Looking at Lu Ying's blushing face, Li Lin immediately understood what she meant.

He's not Xiao Chunan, so how could he not see such an obvious intention?

Li Lin didn't say anything.

Lu Ying looked up at her, her eyes filled with nervousness and anticipation: "I'm willing... willing to be Senior Brother Li's... furnace... to help you recover..."

Her voice grew softer, but she bravely looked at Li Lin without flinching.

Li Lin originally intended to refuse.

He wasn't so weak that he needed a young girl to help him restore his spiritual energy.

Just as he was about to refuse, he saw tears welling up in Lu Ying's eyes.

The other party seemed to understand his thoughts.

She was rejected and wanted to cry, heartbroken.

But they still waited quietly for Li Lin's 'judgment' to arrive.

Seeing her on the verge of breaking, the words of refusal that were on the tip of Li Lin's tongue turned into:

"Thank you for your help, Junior Sister Lu."
