Seeing Lin Shuyue's confusion, the guard smiled and explained, "Don't worry, this is a task assigned to him by the Governor-General. With your brother's skills, he will be able to defeat those old soldiers in no time."

When Lin Shuyue heard this, she immediately understood the Governor's intention.

After a cup of tea, Lin Shuyue followed the guard to the door of Xiao Zhennian's study.

The guard was about to report when he saw Han Guang coming out of the study. He bowed and said, "Miss, please follow me."

.....

At the same time, in the martial arts arena, Lin Shuyuan looked at the veterans lying on the ground and said, "My dear brothers, thank you for letting us go."

"You are really good, welcome to join the Zhenhai Division!"

A tall man with a scar on his eyebrow stood up, patted his sleeves and praised.

The others also stood up. Several young men stepped forward and hugged Lin Shuyuan's neck, saying with a smile, "You are really amazing! Have you been practicing martial arts since you were young?"

Lin Shuyuan shook his head, "No, I started practicing martial arts last year."

"What? You only started practicing martial arts last year?" The soldiers present looked at Lin Shuyuan in surprise.

Lin Shuyuan nodded and blushed, "We all know martial arts in our family, but my skills are the weakest among the three of us."

"Oh my God, I'm too embarrassed to live. It's fine that I can't beat you, but I didn't expect your brother and sister to be even more powerful! Woo woo..." A young man next to Lin Shuyuan covered his face and pretended to cry.

A middle-aged man on the side laughed and scolded: "Okay, Wu Gaogao, stop playing tricks and continue training!"

After that, he said to Lin Shuyuan: "Ayuan, you are very good at martial arts, you can help give some pointers, but you still need to integrate into your team as soon as possible and cultivate a good understanding between your teammates."

Lin Shuyuan bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you Captain Luo for your guidance. I will definitely study hard."

Captain Luo nodded with satisfaction. He had thought that the Governor had sent someone with connections to come in, but he didn't expect that Lin Shuyuan was actually quite good.

On the battlefield, what they hate most are soldiers who are eager for quick success and profit, think highly of themselves, and refuse to obey discipline.

Although Lin Shuyuan is a martial arts expert, he knows how to be humble, calm down, and listen to other people's opinions. He is not proud or complacent because of this.

In the study, Lin Shuyue bowed to Xiao Zhennian.

"Your name is A Yue, right? You're welcome, just call me Uncle Nian."

Xiao Zhennian looked at the graceful girl in front of him with eyes full of admiration. Huaizhi was right. Everyone in the Lin family was very outstanding.

Lin Shuyue did not refuse and said, "Uncle Nian, I apologize for disturbing you today."

Xiao Zhennian waved his hand and asked curiously, "Ayue, do you have something urgent to tell me?"

Lin Shuyue nodded seriously, and seeing that there was no one else in the study, he said solemnly: "Uncle Nian, do you know how many princes today have the word "An" in their titles?"

"One with the character 'An'?" Xiao Zhennian stroked his short beard and thought for a moment, "As far as I know, there are only two princes in our Great Zhou Dynasty whose titles contain the character 'An'.

One is the younger brother of the current emperor, who is just a young man. The current emperor has given him the title of King Huai'an, but has not yet granted him any fiefdom, so he temporarily lives in the palace in the capital."

"The other is the uncle of the current emperor, Prince Yuan'an. However, he is well known in the capital as a lazy prince. He spends his days either playing with cats and dogs or listening to operas."

After Xiao Zhennian finished speaking, he saw that Lin Shuyue's face looked a little serious and puzzled.

"Ayue? What happened?"

Lin Shuyue collected her thoughts and thought for a while. She took out a stack of letters and an account book from her arms and handed them to Xiao Zhennian.

Then she recounted the whole process of how she discovered the members of the Sunlight Society and how she captured them.

At the end, she added: "Uncle Nian, according to Li Ziliang, the Sunlight Society may be related to the Wanhe County Government, so I didn't go to the county government to report it."

Xiao Zhennian was opening the letter and the account book and reading them carefully. When he read the latter part, his face became darker and darker.

"Beast!" He angrily slammed the table, and with a "clang" sound, he startled Han Guang who was guarding outside the study, "Sir?"

Xiao Zhennian took a deep breath and shouted outside, "I'm fine. Go to the martial arts arena and see if Ayuan has finished the competition. If he is fine, ask him to come over."

Han Guang felt relieved when he heard the adult's powerful voice, and he retreated to the martial arts field.

Xiao Zhennian calmed down and asked with a frown, "Ayue, you just said that the leader of the Sunlight Society is not from our Great Zhou Dynasty, and it is very likely that he came from the sea?"

"Yes, originally I was just trying to deceive him, but judging from his reaction, my guess should be correct." Lin Shuyue nodded, then looked at Xiao Zhennian with a worried expression.

"Uncle Nian, the Sunlight Society is not that simple. I'm afraid that many officials are involved. Once these letters and account books are submitted and known to others, you may make many enemies in the court..."

Xiao Zhennian waved his hand and said soothingly, "Ayue, don't worry, Uncle Nian has his own way.

There are many officials in the court who are fighting each other to death because of their different positions. If we use them well, we can rescue those girls without exposing ourselves."

Then, he said earnestly: "Ayue, this matter involves a lot of people. To put it in a small way, it is human trafficking. To put it in a big way, it is colluding with people from the outside world.

You and Ayuan are still young, and the Lin family has a shallow foundation, so you can't get involved in this matter. Ayuan is protected by me after all, and no one can do anything to him.

But Ayan is different, he still has to take the imperial examination. If someone with ulterior motives finds out that this is related to you.

If the people in the capital want to take revenge, they can nip Ah Yan in the bud with just a flick of their fingers, so leave the rest to me."

Lin Shuyue nodded, "Uncle Nian, thank you for considering so much for us."

She understood Xiao Zhennian's good intentions. Her family was nothing now. If she rashly got involved in this matter, she would be targeted by someone who had escaped the net, which would be very detrimental to her family's development.

Suddenly, she thought of Shopkeeper Gao and asked curiously, "Uncle Nian, have you ever seen anyone coming from the sea?"

Xiao Zhennian shook his head. "In the past few years that I have been in the Zhenhai Division, I have only seen pirates on the small islands in the nearby sea. In fact, they are all citizens of the Great Zhou Dynasty, not overseas people."

Then, he changed his tone and said, "However, I heard from the old people that people from foreign countries have indeed crossed the sea to come here for many years.

They were all tall, with blond hair and blue eyes, and their clothes were different from ours. The people of Wanhe County called them barbarians.

But apart from their strange appearance and incomprehensible language, they are not bad people at all.”
