Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 550 New Policies (Part 3)

Bang! ! !

Han Yi slammed his hand on the sandalwood table, leaving a deep palm print.

"What??!!!!"

He immediately stood up, his expression one of surprise, astonishment, and disbelief, his complex emotions overflowing.

"This... Yuanmiao Sect, Yunzhou is completely abandoning everything? Are they just going to give up like this?!" Han Yi exclaimed in surprise, worried that he had misheard.

The mountain gates were sealed off, and everything was locked away.

In other words, they're just leaving it at that.

It was only one fortress that was breached, but out of a total of eighteen fortresses, there are still seventeen left.

Even if the Yuanmiao Sect was at fault to begin with, it shouldn't stop there.

This is blatantly irresponsible.

"This... I'm not sure either..." he said with a wry smile. "It's not that they're completely ignoring it; apparently, they've only relinquished a portion, handing it over to the imperial court for management, while the rest still belongs to the Yuanmiao Sect..."

He instructed, "However, you should keep this matter to yourself. It seems to involve a lot of secrets, so don't ask too many questions or say too much."

Moreover, people like us couldn't possibly know the inside story of these changes among the upper echelons of Yunzhou. Perhaps Yuanmiao Sect has other plans; who knows…”

The dragon blood transaction between Yuanmiaozong and the Tantai family involved too many people and had too great an impact, so it was kept strictly confidential from the outside world.

Han Yi plopped down, his face still showing surprise.

"If Yuanmiao Sect stops managing affairs, then what will become of Yunzhou...?" he couldn't help but ask.

"Isn't this the newly arrived governor?" He smiled wryly. "The governor of Liuquan Prefecture, courtesy name Zhenyuan, sobriquet Qingjian Jushi. It is said that he is a man of great talent, intelligent from childhood, with a photographic memory and the ability to write fluently."

He served successively as judge of Tongzhou, magistrate of Yin County, and Grand Tutor of the Capital Guard. During his tenure, he was diligent in his duties, cared for the people, and achieved remarkable results, which won him the favor of Emperor Wen.

Moreover, this man is skilled in both civil and military affairs, which is why he was able to be transferred to Yunzhou to manage government affairs.

"The border is still at war, and now this adjustment has happened. The front lines are anxious, and the rear is in chaos... Something bad is going to happen in Yunzhou..." Han Yi sighed.

Changing generals on the eve of battle is a major taboo.

Not to mention, it involves replacing the governor, the highest-ranking military official in charge of a province. Countless experiences from his past life had taught him that such matters could only be handled at midday, because trouble was bound to arise sooner or later.

When a governor changes, no matter how talented the new governor may be, everything is unfamiliar and requires time to get used to.

In the heat of battle, what is most lacking is precisely time.

If the opportunity is missed and the battle is delayed, then a major disaster is very likely to occur.

"So, these past few days, my father has been frequently going out to sweep through and investigate smaller sects... isn't it because the front lines are in dire need of various supplies..."

Helplessly: "This was personally arranged by General Kou Hu. Firstly, it's to establish authority for the new autumn killing policy. Secondly, it's to obtain more military supplies."

With the Black Smoke Fortress breached, whether it's refugees or defeated soldiers escaping from it... who doesn't need food? Even if an army is assembled and marches to support the recapture of the fortress, wouldn't military supplies be needed along the way? Although the grain harvest in various regions this year is good, the eighteen border fortresses are locked in a stalemate with the demon army, resulting in enormous consumption of supplies. Just supplying daily needs is already at its limit.

And then this happened... Such a troublesome and unfortunate time..."

The two looked at each other in silence, then let out a long sigh.

"Forget about these depressing things. We brothers haven't seen each other in a long time, let's have a drink today." **Raises his glass.

Han Yi smiled and also raised his cup to drink it all.

Outside the window, vast expanses of golden straw swayed in the wind, rustling softly, creating the illusion of being immersed in a golden ocean.

This is a small manor located outside Huayang City, considered the private property of the **, and is quite secluded.

Because of Fang He's recent incident, Han Yi was worried about his safety staying at the Inspectorate, so he came here.

Both of them had their own secrets, knew each other's weaknesses, had very similar personalities, and were extremely compatible, making them rare confidants.

"Speaking of which, you were slapped by Fang He before, how are you now?" he asked with concern.

"It's alright, just a superficial injury, nothing serious." Han Yi shook his head.

He winked and chuckled, "Have you figured out how to get revenge? Fang He is not someone to be trifled with. He's a member of the Fang family, the deputy head of Jingtian Manor, and very powerful. He'll be a tough opponent."

"Huh?" Han Yi was taken aback. "Revenge? Why would you want revenge?"

"What, you've changed your ways? You don't hold grudges anymore?" he teased. "I don't remember you being so magnanimous."

"Sigh, you're good in every way, except you tend to think the worst of people." Han Yi sighed. "Fang He was also desperate to find his son. Anyone would understand if their son went missing. Of course, I'm no exception."

"So we're just going to let it go like this?" ** curled her lip. "What else can we do?" Han Yi shook his head. "We can't beat them in a fight. They also have a legitimate reason to insult us. What else can we do but let it go?"

"Alright. Since you've put it that way, then forget it..." she said regretfully. "I was thinking of a few underhanded tricks to vent your anger for you... but since you're not willing, then forget it..."

"As a person, you have to be generous. Look at me, right?" Han Yi explained, "Everyone is experiencing life for the first time. Let's put ourselves in each other's shoes and understand each other."

"I don't believe you for a second." **Disdainful.

He knew Han Yi too well and didn't believe his nonsense at all. This guy looked honest on the surface, but he was actually shameless, cunning, and ruthless.

He's pretty much the same as himself.

A cunning and straightforward man.

"By the way, is that shipment I asked you to send out last time still in that place?" Han Yi suddenly asked.

“Of course.” Without hesitation, he said, “Those things are practically a huge bomb. Who would touch them for no reason? Just transporting them out and hiding them in the wild cost me a lot.”

It would have been better if Han Yi hadn't brought this up, because once he did, ** immediately started complaining: "Tell me, how did you become an inspector? Such a large quantity of explosives, and you didn't even notice that they didn't match the ones in the warehouse?"

At that time, the city gate guards had just been replaced by soldiers from the local military garrison. If it weren't for my family's considerable connections within the garrison, we would have been discovered! That would have been a serious crime!

"It's really not my fault. Those things were probably accumulated by Luo Meiwei since the previous inspector. If they're not in the accounts, how am I supposed to check?" Han Yi said helplessly. "This matter has indeed troubled you."

"How about this, you've developed a new drug, right? I'll let you try it, okay?"
