Chapter 329: Overcoming the difficulties
"Master Liu."

Bai Yuan stepped forward.

"Master Bai."

Liu Zhengwen also returned the greeting to Bai Yuan with a smile. This demon-killing trip was extremely smooth, which made Liu Zhengwen in a very good mood.

This would be a great bargaining chip for him to win the position of deputy director of the Imperial Observatory in the future.

If Xuan Yang wants to be promoted, besides background and strength, achievements are also extremely important. Only with achievements can he stand firm.

At this time, the other three armies also gathered here.

Liu Zhengwen looked at the people standing around the lake and said loudly.

"The demons have been eliminated. This is a great achievement for the Spring and Autumn Period. I will definitely ask His Majesty to commend you for your achievements!"

"Congratulations!"

"Congratulations!"

The sound of celebration shook the mountains and forests.

Thousands of people fought hard in the Shiwan Mountains for many days, just for this day.

The officials who came to Lingzhou with Yan Shaoan also couldn't stop smiling.

Most of these officials had no hope of promotion in Kyoto, so they came to the northern border to seek opportunities.

Xuanyang has been established for a thousand years, and important positions have long been controlled by those big families.

How easy is it to stand out?

The Central Plains had been peaceful for a long time, and they could not gain any merit at all. Only the chaos in Lingzhou allowed them to earn military merit and thereby gain a better official position.

Xuanyang’s national fortune is now prosperous.

As long as I can get promoted and have good luck, I might be able to make a breakthrough.

Such examples abound over the millennia.

Things became much simpler after that. The officials of Lingzhou returned to Lingzhou to garrison first, while the rest stayed behind to deal with the aftermath with Liu Zhengwen and others.

The nameless lake was dyed into a bloody lake by the snake's blood.

According to Liu Zhengwen, every time a great monster dies, special means must be used to resolve the resentment, otherwise the accumulation of small resentments will affect the destiny of Xuanyang.

Five thousand Lingzhou defenders surrounded the lake.

Bai Yuan and Liu Zhengwen circled around the lake.

Liu Zhengwen held a small glass jade bottle in his hand. Every time he went to a place, he would take out a crystal clear pill from the bottle and throw it into the lake.

As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, while insiders watch the door.

If other people saw this scene, they would definitely think it was a trick.

But Bai Yuan, who had learned the Four-Nine Books and practiced the skills of hunting monsters, figured out some tricks.

Every time Liu Zhengwen stopped at a place, it was the place where the snake demon had the heaviest resentment, and the strange elixir in the small jade bottle was just the thing to resolve the disaster.

Not only that, the position where he threw the pill was very strategic. After the pill entered the lake, it formed a formation-like existence.

The methods of the Imperial Observatory are truly extraordinary!
Bai Yuan thought in his heart.

After Liu Zhengwen threw all the pills into the lake.

I also recited the Tai Shang Qing Jing Pian by the lake for three days and three nights.

Some soldiers of Lingzhou garrison thought that Liu Zhengwen was playing tricks when they saw this scene, but a scene that surprised them occurred.

The originally scarlet and foul-smelling lake surface gradually became clear.

By the last day, there was no difference from before.

Everyone could not help but marvel at the methods of Liu Zhengwen's Imperial Observatory.

Liu Zhengwen was satisfied only after he confirmed that there were no more snake monsters left in the lake.

He stood up and bowed to Bai Yuan and Fang Yong beside him.

"Master Bai, General Fang, thank you for your help."

"Things that are part of your job are not worth mentioning."

During these three days, he recited the Great Purity and Tranquility Chapter by the lake, and Bai Yuan and Fang Yong stayed by the lake for three days and three nights.

Liu Zhengwen looked at the clear lake and his smile deepened.

"Master Bai, the matter is settled. General Fang and I plan to return to the capital immediately to report the matter of the demon species to His Majesty." "That's right."

Bai Yuan smiled slightly.

"Master Bai has made great contributions in this demon extermination. I will report the truth to His Majesty."

Liu Zhengwen made no secret of his admiration for Bai Yuan.

Before coming to Lingzhou, he and Fang Yong were influenced by the censors and did not have a good impression of the young general of Lingzhou.

After all, being called a butcher is not a good reputation.

But after arriving in Lingzhou, the two of them had a new respect for Bai Yuan.

First, he dealt with the Jingyang Mine with thundering means, and now he has killed countless enemies in the Shiwan Mountains.

No wonder Minister Xu and Lord Du have a fondness for this man.

This thought arose in the minds of Liu Zhengwen and Fang Yong.

They all had high hopes for Bai Yuan, and they were determined to say good things to Bai Yuan and establish a relationship with him as soon as possible.

The two were eager to return home, so they left Shiwan Mountain first that day.

Bai Yuan, with five thousand Lingzhou soldiers, was naturally no match for those two.

Everyone walked in the dense forest.

Yang Fangyu looked excited.

"A Yuan, this time I have learned a lot."

First there was the giant snake and the monster, then the old Taoist priest and Yan Shaoan. Such a grand scene is rare, and most martial artists will never see such a scene in their lifetime.

Watching masters fight each other is an experience of endless benefit in itself.

He had seen the old Taoist priest in Taoxiangju before, but he never expected that the old Taoist priest living in the restaurant would be so terrifying.

How many secrets does this kid have? !
If I tell others that a peerless master who is on par with Yan Shaoan is actually Bai Yuan's tenant, I'm afraid no one would believe it.

Bai Yuan: "Fang Yu, I will ask you to be the co-governor of Lingzhou later. The Yang family can make some arrangements first."

Yang Fangyu's eyes lit up.

The Tongzhi of Lingzhou was a high-ranking official of the fourth rank.

Although there is only one level between the fifth grade and the fourth grade, the difference between them is huge.

The authority of a fifth-rank prefect is far from comparable to that of an associate prefect.

He came to Lingzhou to be the prefect, just to win the position of Tongzhi.

According to his original plan, if he hadn't made a breakthrough, it would take at least eight years before he could be promoted. But now, thanks to Bai Yuan, the progress has been greatly accelerated.

Clinging to someone powerful is indeed the most satisfying thing in life!

"I will write to my second uncle right now."

Yang Fangyu rubbed his hands excitedly.

Bai Yuan smiled faintly.

He is now the general of Lingzhou, a real court official. If he were in the Central Plains or Jiangnan, he would be a third-rank official.

In other words, the northern border cannot compare with those wealthy places, so the chief officer is only of the third rank.

But even so, he was qualified to submit a memorial directly to the emperor.

Of course, this incident with the demon species must be reported in great detail, and Yang Fangyu's contribution should also be mentioned.

As the chief official of Lingzhou, he was responsible for recommending local officials.

As long as a fifth-rank official like a prefect was willing to make a petition, the Ministry of Personnel would generally not obstruct him.

In other words, the identity of the Tongzhi is not ordinary, so the Yang family needs to work together to ensure that everything goes well.

He did not have the same idea as Old Man Du of promoting talented people over relatives. Promoting Yang Fangyu would help him better control Lingzhou.

This time, Yang Fangyu's contribution in eliminating the demon was enough for him to get the position of Tongzhi. In addition, Yang Fangyu's strength had also improved and was no less than Chen Danian. He was just helping him.

Otherwise, no matter how close Yang Fangyu and Bai Yuan were, the Ministry of Personnel would never allow a mediocre person to be appointed as Tongzhi.

Xuanyang's officials may be stupid, but they are definitely not weak.

Even an official like Chen Danian who is just sitting there doing nothing has the cultivation level of a great master of perception and should not be underestimated.
