New and dark light years

Chapter 49: Not a Big Pie
The next day, Li Lin took Zhao Xiaohu to the county town.

Uncle Zhao and Aunt Hua looked at each other from afar at the entrance of the village. Only when Zhao Xiaohu disappeared did they return home with worried expressions.

Unlike the two worried elders, Zhao Xiaohu looked excited.

He held a red tasseled spear in his left hand, and his face was full of vigor and ambition.

Because for him, from today on, he will start to eat public food.

I have become successful now and can hold my head high and live my life with dignity.

When they arrived at the county government office, they found Li Zhubo who was busy working and said that they wanted to enter Zhao Xiaohu into the register and register him as a spirit hunter.

The guarantor is Li Lin.

Registration as a ghost hunter is quite simple, as long as someone acts as a guarantor.

If any fraud occurs in the future, the guarantor will be held accountable as well.

Li Zhubo looked at Zhao Xiaohu's full beard and strong physique and couldn't help but sigh, "You are obviously a fierce warrior. Very impressive. Please tell me your place of origin, name, and date of birth."

Zhao Xiaohu reported all his information in a muffled voice.

Li Zhubo memorized it for a while, then realized something was wrong: "Wait, your date of birth... is it wrong? You're only thirteen years old?"

"Yes, I'm only thirteen."

"Li Zhuangshi, there's no point in fooling an old man like me."

"I'm really thirteen!"

Li Zhubo looked at Li Lin.

Li Lin nodded: "He is indeed thirteen years old, but Li Zhubo, please remember him as fourteen, it will be more convenient."

"Tsk tsk, she looks like she's only thirteen. I've really learned a lot."

Li Zhubo was amazed.

Zhao Xiaohu scratched his head and laughed, looking very proud.

"So, next, will he go to the Zhenjun Temple to seek an opportunity, or will we assign him a place to guard?"

Li Lin said, "You guys can appoint one. He's just entered the sect now, so it's too early for him to offer blood and energy."

"That's fine." Li Zhubo looked at the document for a while and said with a smile, "Since you're new to the industry and from Shangtikou Village, let's put you in Shadong Village. It's very close to Shangtikou Village, only a half-day walk away."

"Thank you, Mr. Li, for your care." Li Lin bowed. He could see that the other party was taking care of Zhao Xiaohu for his sake.

Otherwise, there are still many villages without spirit hunters, and they are far away from the county town. If Xiaohu, a boy of only thirteen, were placed in such a place, he would have to suffer.

Li Zhubo chuckled and said, "You are too polite, Li Xunshu. We might have been one family five hundred years ago."

"Haha, that's possible."

Li Zhubo was quite satisfied to see that Li Lin accepted his favor.

He knew that Li Lin was highly regarded by the county magistrate, so he would not do anything to give this person convenience.

Li Zhubo turned around and took out a plain gray jade token from a nearby black wooden cabinet and placed it on the table. "Zhao Xunshou, this is your hunting spirit order, number one hundred and thirty-seven. Please keep it."

Zhao Xiaohu excitedly picked up the gray jade token, and then he asked curiously, "Why is my jade token gray? I saw that your jade tokens are all white, Brother Lin."

"Use your blood energy to warm it. In two or three nights, or as long as half a month, it will turn white."

Oh!
Zhao Xiaohu nodded.

Li Lin looked at Li Zhubu, clasped his fists and said, "I'll trouble you to take care of Xiaohu from now on. I have to go meet a friend."

"You're too polite. This is my duty." Li Zhubu looked at Zhao Xiaohu and said, "Zhao Xunshu, please follow me. I'm here to receive your blood rice, your strange clothes, and other necessary items. I also need to explain some important things to you as a spirit hunter."

Zhao Xiaohu responded. He was very greedy for the blood rice. He had been relying on Li Lin's blood rice for some time. Now that he had his own blood rice, he could finally eat it to his heart's content.

Li Lin turned around and walked out of the county government office, then came to the door of Huang's residence and knocked on it.

An old man opened the door. When he saw Li Lin, he smiled and said, "So it's Li Xunshu, you're here at last. My young master has been waiting for you for a long time. He specifically told you that if you come, you don't need to announce it and can go directly to the backyard."

"sorry to bother you."

Li Lin pulled out a rectangular brocade box from his pocket and handed it to the other party: "Inside are three bottles of pills I refined. They are called Strengthening Pills... They are warming and nourishing, can strengthen yang, and are harmless to the body!"

Recently, Li Lin refined another pot of Shengxi Pills. As his proficiency in alchemy improved, he inexplicably learned how to make these strengthening pills.

It can help the user to promote the smooth flow of qi and blood, expel dirt and impurities, warm and nourish the body, and gather yin and restore yang.

This thing is not very useful to Li Lin, but it is very useful to ordinary people.

So before the appointment, he made a pot of tea and filled three bottles.

Hearing that it could enhance male sexual performance, the old doorman's eyes immediately became sharp. He whispered, "Please rest assured, Li Xunshu, I will definitely hand this thing over to you personally."

After saying goodbye to the old doorman, Li Lin went to the backyard and saw Huang Qi sitting there with a tea table and a few cups on the table.

Huang Qing stood aside.

The two of them saw Li Lin almost at the same time.

Huang Qi pointed to the seat opposite him with his fan and said, "We are old friends, so let's not go through the formalities. Just sit down."

Li Lin was not a person who liked etiquette very much, so he walked over and sat down.

Then Huang Qing poured him a cup of tea.

"Thank you, big sister."

"Brother Shi, you're too polite." Huang Qing blushed and took two steps back happily.

"I'm leaving tomorrow. Are you really not going to Tianjin with me?"

"I have no intention of leaving Yulin County for the time being."

Hearing this, Huang Qing smiled even more.

"It would be good to go and meet that noble man, and it won't be too late to come back later." Huang Qi said with a smile.

Li Lin sighed slightly: "Zi Jing, you keep talking about that noble man, but I don't even know his name or identity. Can't I tell you?"

"It's not that I can't tell you." Huang Qi thought for a moment and said, "That noble man is surnamed Zhu, and he's from the capital."

"National surname?"

"Correct."

"Which prince is it?"

"third."

Oh! Li Lin understood.

Zhu Laosan.

He had also heard some rumors about this Zhu Laosan, that he was a prince with high moral integrity, quick words and a straightforward personality.

The most famous thing happened two years ago when he accused the current ruler of refining elixirs and cultivating immortality, and not caring about state affairs, which was not what a wise ruler should do.

He even said bluntly on the spot: If you don't work hard and care for the people, please abdicate and let the crown prince inherit the throne. Isn't that a good idea?

Then... Zhu Laosan was exiled from the capital to become a vassal king.

Li Lin couldn't remember whether it was placed in Lu County or Yan County, but it was definitely not here in Jin County.

"The Third Prince is coming to Tianjin? The vassal king left his territory without permission..." Li Lin smiled, "I'm not afraid that the imperial censors in the court will find out and report him."

"So he came quietly."

Li Lin thought for a moment and said, "Forget it. Spirit Hunters should just do their jobs honestly. The troubles of the world will naturally be settled by the people of the world. I won't join in the fun."

Huang Qi advised, "If Kun Ge goes with you, he will surely be appreciated by the Third Prince and achieve great things."

When Huang Qing heard this, he subconsciously clenched his hands.

Li Lin still shook his head: "I can probably guess what you are up to. I really don't like joining in on this kind of fun. But I still wish you, Zijing, all the best on your journey and the fulfillment of your ambitions!"

Huang Qing's expression relaxed.

"If Kun Ge changes his mind in the future, you can come to me." Although Huang Qi felt it was a pity, he did not force her. Instead, he smiled and said, "By the way, since you don't want to go with me, the position of county lieutenant will be yours..."

Li Lin reached out and stopped the other person: "I don't dare to take the position of county lieutenant!"

Huang Qi frowned: "Why?"

"Why should I be a county lieutenant?"

He has no power, no influence, and no strong strength. Who would accept him as a county lieutenant?

"It was my father's decision."

County Magistrate Huang’s decision?

Li Lin felt that this matter was a bit sudden. He had heard Huang Qi talk about this matter before, but he didn't take it to heart. After all, he had eaten a lot of big promises made by his boss before, so he just listened to it.

Unexpectedly, they were serious.

But why is it me?

But he suddenly saw the yellow chime next to him and immediately understood something.
