New and dark light years

Chapter 77: One-foot Threshold

The person who jumped up was Zhao Hao, and he put his big hand in the path of the arrow.

Chi!
The arrow hit his palm, but he blocked it.

Li Lin and Zhao Hao fell to the ground at the same time, and the others surrounded them.

At this time, Li Lin and Zhao Hao were looking in the direction of the enemy camp at the same time. On a watchtower there, a man was standing and slowly putting down his longbow.

The other person's eyes were looking straight at this side, as if he could see what was happening here.

Bai Liwei took out a dagger, held Zhao Hao's hand, quickly cut off the tail of the arrow, pulled it out, and took out the golden medicine to apply on the wound.

Su Huafang looked at the white jade tablets that were getting redder and redder and said, "Let's go. We've been exposed."

Several people quickly retreated and left.

After they ran away, the cat-shaped True Lord who was suspended in the air began to turn around and looked at the camp of the Southern Barbarian Army with a pair of gray and white eyes.

The enemy camp began to frantically ring the retreat bells.

On the city wall, Tang Su clenched his fists vigorously: "It's done!"

They saw two blue-red lightning bolts appear, and then watched the enemy retreat on a large scale, and they knew that the crisis in Bobai Military Town was over.

It’s a pity that neither of them is a spirit hunter, so they can’t see the cat-shaped True Lord slaughtering the enemy troops, otherwise they would be happier.

Tang Su did not pursue the enemy because he knew that it was very dangerous to chase them at night. It would be fine if the soldiers stayed together, but if they scattered, it would easily attract the Huanggui. Moreover, the large amount of blood and dead bodies at night would cause the Huanggui to riot.

Looking at the retreating enemy troops, Tang Su said with some regret, "It's a pity that the imperial court is unwilling to equip our border troops with spirit hunters. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as the barbarians knocking on our gates."

In his imagination, spirit hunters could cooperate with the army and come up with many tactical strategies.

Huang Qi smiled. The imperial court naturally would not allow the border troops to have spirit hunters. Otherwise... if the border troops had any rebellious intentions, coupled with the strange abilities of the spirit hunters, it would be very, very troublesome.

Soon, Li Lin and others came back.

Because a large ball of red light quickly floated over from the woods.

Tang Su smiled and said, "Let's go down and greet our great hero."

Soon, Li Lin and others returned to the gate of Bobai Military Town. The soldiers here looked at all the spirit hunters with admiration.

In the eyes of ordinary people, spirit hunters are already very mysterious and powerful.

Now that they have led a big victory, they are naturally even more respected.

Tang Su stepped forward, bowed to Li Lin, and said, "Thank you, Li Xunshu, for bravely taking on the danger and destroying the altar, thus creating an opportunity for our army to achieve a great victory. You are truly a hero. I wonder if you would be interested in visiting our Tang family. Then..."

Huang Qi squeezed over and interrupted Tang Su.

He patted Li Lin and said with a smile, "Go and have a rest for a night. We will return to the county town tomorrow."

Li Lin nodded slightly.

Tang Su, who was pushed aside, seemed to be thinking about something.

Several soul hunters returned to the barracks together.

Li Lin clasped his fists towards Zhao Hao and said, "Mr. Zhao, thank you very much for saving my life. I will repay you when we return to Yulin County."

Li Lin had absolutely no way of dodging that arrow.

If you get shot, you will be seriously injured even if you don't die.

Zhao Hao smiled and said, "That's fine. I've said before that I will definitely protect you guys until I die."

Everyone laughed, but Zhao Xiaohu did not follow them out. Instead, he stayed in the barracks.

In this situation, it would be useless for him, a thirteen-year-old child, to go.

When he saw everyone laughing, he laughed too.

The next day, Huang Qi left Bobai Military Town with hundreds of local soldiers.

Because he was the county lieutenant of Yulin County, he was not allowed to cross the border.

If you follow further, you will reach the territories of other counties and provinces.

If he really chased after him and was reported by someone with ulterior motives, the one who would be in trouble would not be him, but his father.

Tang Su, with hundreds of border troops, had already set out at dawn to pursue the enemy. As usual, only a hundred or so soldiers were left to garrison Bobai.

Before leaving, Li Lin went to see the new altar in Zhenbaijun Town.

The new 'True Lord' here is a lizard man, not tall, only about half a meter, lying on the altar, lazily basking in the sun.

He seems to have a good temper.

On the way back, Huang Qi began to persuade Li Lin to join the "noble man" to work under him.

Li Lin raised his hand to interrupt him: "Some time ago, I went to Jincheng and met His Royal Highness Prince Lu."

Huang Qi was stunned for a moment, then asked happily, "So what do you think of him?"

"He is indeed a very tolerant prince." Li Lin smiled, "But I don't intend to get involved in politics."

"You don't need to get involved in political affairs. Working for His Royal Highness Prince Lu can save the people from disaster..."

Li Lin sighed and interrupted, "Zijing, isn't it also the right path for me to guard a village in Yulin? Or is it that only working under the command of the King of Lu is the right path, and only then can it be considered serving the country and the people?"

Huang Qi was stunned. He thought for a moment and said with a wry smile, "That's right. I was too persistent."

Although Li Lin rejected Huang Qi's recruitment, Huang Qi did not have any grudge against Li Lin because of this. Instead, he "appreciated" him even more.

Six days later, the local army returned to Yulin County, and everyone separated and returned home.

When Huang Qi returned home, he saw his relieved father and his mother wiping her eyes.

The Huang family prepared a large table of dishes to welcome him.

"Qier, you did a great job this time." Huang Yan said approvingly.

Only the eldest lady of the Huang family was still wiping away tears.

There is no way, it is every mother's instinct to feel sorry for their children.

Huang Qi smiled, then he was a little surprised: "Big sister, you look... so good!"

Huang Qing was stunned for a moment and subconsciously touched his face, feeling that it was much smoother.

Although she is beautiful, her skin is actually not as good as my younger sister's.

After all, most Hu Ji's skin is a bit rough, and in this respect, she inherited it from her mother.

"Have it?"

The lady also looked over and nodded: "Qing'er's complexion is indeed much better. What kind of facial cream have you been using recently that has such an effect?"

"I usually don't use facial cream..." Huang Qing then suddenly remembered, "I've been taking the pill that Brother Li Shi gave me recently. It's called the Beauty Pill."

Huang Ling next to him curled her lips, seeming a little disdainful.

Huang Yan frowned and said, "The elixir sent by Li Xunshou is of course not bad, use it without worry."

He is a beneficiary. After taking the strengthening pills, he regained the passion he had when he was 28 years old.

Now the eldest lady in the family has been taught a lesson by him and has regained the right to speak in the family.

The lady looked at Huang Qing's face with envy. It had become like this in just a few days. It was so pink and tender.

Huang Qing immediately said to Hong Luan beside him, "Go to my room and bring me the unopened bottle of beauty pills."

Hongluan immediately turned around and left.

Not long after, Huang Qing took the porcelain bottle from Hongluan and handed it to the eldest lady with both hands: "Mother, I haven't used this bottle yet, you can take it."

"This is a gift from Li Xunshu, how can I take it..."

Although she said so, the lady still took it unconsciously and held it in her hands as if it were precious.

Huang Yan said to his son, "I want to test you. Sixty years ago, there was a family that was very good at refining medicine. Do you know which family it was?"

"Three great families and five surnames, the Li family of Jin County!"

Huang Yan laughed: "So, it has been passed down to this day, and no one's ancestors have not crossed the threshold of a foot."

Huang Ling felt like these words were mocking her and snorted unhappily.
