Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 121: Focus on military power, neglect internal affairs

Afterwards, Song Changming began to practice his body-building exercises day after day.

This process was dull and tedious, there was nothing much to say about it. Only by watching the experience points gained from the physical training increase little by little could he reap the joy of accumulation.

With the enhanced effect of 'God rewards hard work', and his root bone attribute that had been improved to 18 points, his progress in body training was quite fast.

But no matter how fast he went, he estimated that it would take at least two and a half years to break through the sixth level of the Bull Demon Skill to the seventh level.

The seemingly small 600 points of body refining experience points required tremendous effort to gain each point.

In the state of 'God rewards hard work', he could barely gain a little experience in the body refining of the Bull Demon Power every day.

If the state of practice declines, for example, if it becomes "concentrated", it will take three or two days to increase the experience value of Bull Demon Skill.

"I'm still short of money. If I could have a hundred-year-old mountain ginseng every month, the progress of my body training would be very different!" Song Changming muttered to himself in the General Office.

He has been short of money for a long time.

In the past, his main source of income, in addition to the still stable monthly salary from the government, came mostly from the rewards for capturing wanted criminals and participating in some large-scale missions in the General Administration.

The reward for a wanted criminal is hard to come by and is purely a matter of luck, and the same goes for the general manager's big mission.

If you are lucky, you can earn several thousand silver coins in rewards from these two items throughout the year, which is definitely a huge sum of money.

But if one's luck is bad and nothing happens every day, the amount of the reward will plummet, and it will be good to get a few hundred silvers, which is not enough to buy a hundred-year-old ginseng.

In previous years, I had both good and bad luck.

But now, the Fifth Prince has issued an order to confiscate their patrol and arrest authority.

All those wanted criminals had to do was shout that they were here to seek refuge with the Fifth Prince and were willing to work for him, and Song Changming and the others would have no choice but to release them and let them be taken away.

The world has changed, the rules have changed too. Without the temptation of reward money, it is still so frustrating. Most of the patrol guards have lost their motivation and can only lie down and do nothing. Song Changming himself is no exception.

If they can’t catch the bad guys, what’s the point of having them patrolling?
Over time, Song Changming's main source of income, which was not from fleecing the government, gradually became his family's growing business of silkworms.

Now, just by selling blue-veined water silkworms, I can earn dozens of silver coins every month!
And this amount of income is increasing almost every month.

If it weren't for Song Changming, a wealthy man, the Song family would have accumulated a huge fortune just by selling blue water silkworms.

This also shows how difficult it is for an ordinary family to provide for a powerful warrior.

Of course, Song Changming is different. He practices multiple physical exercises, so the money he needs for practice is more than that of ordinary warriors.

this day.

A few chivalrous men had eaten and drunk their fill when they suddenly caught sight of a girl from a family. They were tempted by her beauty and forced their way in.

"My dear, we are going to make great achievements soon. Please reward us well today. When we return with success, we will not let you down."

on the street.

A young patrolman heard the crying and shouting coming from the other end of the street and couldn't bear it.

"Liangtou!"

Liang Zhaolong held a knife with a changing expression on his face, but he couldn't get over the psychological barrier in the end. He stopped, turned around and led the guards into the room.

On the other side, Song Changming, who was practicing martial arts at the headquarters, soon heard the patrol guard's message about the matter.

In the past, there was no need to report such trivial matters to Song Changming. The evildoers would be directly arrested and thrown into jail awaiting trial.

Nowadays, it is a sensitive period and the situation is different.

After hearing this, Song Changming frowned and said calmly, "Since the higher-ups have ordered us not to arrest anyone, then just break their limbs and don't bring them back."

"Yes!" the patrolman responded and left in a hurry.

Not long after, Liang Zhaolong came quickly with some blood on his hands that had not yet been dealt with.

"Sorry, boss. It's my fault. I couldn't help it." Liang Zhaolong bowed his head and admitted his mistake as soon as he arrived.

In his opinion, this would cause trouble for Song Changming.

"It's okay. If I were you, I might have taken action at that time. It's not a big deal." Song Changming patted Liang Zhaolong on the shoulder and didn't care about the matter.

However, the next day, a cavalry group rushed to the General Security Headquarters in a hurry. The ferocious-looking general in the lead even broke through the guards' obstruction and rushed in.

"Find it! Find the bastard that ruined my brother!"

The general's voice was as dull as the roar of an animal, and the soldiers behind him were about to do as he was told and search the general office.

"How dare you!" A patrolman strode over and shouted, "Who are you? How dare you trespass into the secret area of ​​the military facility!"

The general stared coldly at the patrol captain in front of him, and asked the man who was limp on an armored soldier behind him: "Ah Hu, was this the man who did it?"

His brother shook his head, and suddenly saw Liang Zhaolong approaching, and immediately screamed: "Brother, it was him, it was him who broke my arms and legs!"

When the general heard this, he stopped talking nonsense, glared, and strode towards Liang Zhaolong.

He had the bloody and murderous aura unique to the battlefield, and had a strong deterrent effect. Liang Zhaolong almost instinctively wanted to draw his sword, but was held back by Song Changming.

Then Song Changming stepped sideways and stood in front of Liang Zhaolong.

"Go away!"

The general was extremely rough, and he slapped Song Changming with his big hands covered with scars and calluses.

Song Changming raised his hand and grabbed the opponent's wrist, and the general's tremendous strength was instantly dissipated by him.

"Looking for death!" Seeing this, the general kicked Song Changming.

Song Changming also raised his foot.

boom!
Both of them were extremely powerful, but after the kick, Song Changming was still standing in the same place, while the general staggered and retreated several steps before he could barely steady himself.

There was a look of surprise in the general's eyes. He had thought that the strength of these patrol guards in the city were just average.

But Song Changming's move overturned the idea he had before he came.

"General!"

Seeing this, the soldiers nearby immediately gathered together.

The general felt a little embarrassed and didn't care about anything else. He grabbed the spear from a soldier and stabbed it at Song Changming.

Seeing this, Song Changming's eyes instantly turned cold.

Now that the weapons have been revealed, the nature of the incident is different.

Song Changming directly pulled out the dragon-patterned knife, and a strong wind whistled past, and the sounds of bells and birds chirped exploded.

The sword fell and directly cut the spear in the general's hand into two pieces.

The next moment, Song Changming took a step and rushed forward in an instant.

The general's pupils suddenly shrank and he felt a darkness before his eyes, as if countless ghosts were grabbing his body and gnawing at his flesh, making his whole body cold.

Having been on the battlefield for a long time, he smelled the approach of death again at this moment, and his heart trembled a little.

"stop!"

Suddenly a loud shout was heard, and the knife force that was suffocating him instantly dissipated.

In a trance, he saw a broad long knife placed on his neck. The cold blade was against his skin, and needle-like pain kept coming from it.

Just now, he was almost torn apart!

The two dragon patterns on the blade were very eye-catching, even a little dazzling to him.

“Dragon Sword!”

The general suddenly remembered a name that had been widely known in the martial arts world.

When Song Changming saw Zhuang Ren approaching with a sullen face, he put away his knife.

"Who can tell me what is going on?" Zhuang Ren glanced at everyone present and said in a cold voice.

The patrol captain who walked out first immediately recounted what had just happened.

"Who are you in the army? Why are you causing trouble in my General Security Headquarters?" Zhuang Ren stared at the general who had just escaped death and asked in a bad tone.

"General Liang, my name is Gao Qiu, and I am under the command of the Fifth Prince. Yesterday, my brother's hands and feet were broken by your patrol guards in the city. Tell me, how should this matter be resolved?" When the general saw Zhuang Ren, his tone was still not polite, and he asked directly.

"How dare you!" Zhuang Ren stared angrily at the so-called general in front of him.

"I will investigate this matter myself. You are just a general with a minor title. You brought troops into the city without permission today and broke into my Public Security Headquarters, causing trouble openly. Do you think no one in my County Governor's Office can control you?"

The corner of Gao Qiu's mouth twitched, and he wanted to be tough, but suddenly he caught a glimpse of Song Changming holding a knife beside him, and his neck suddenly felt cold for some reason.

"I was reckless today, but this matter is not over yet. My brother came to seek refuge with the Fifth Prince and join the army yesterday, but he was beaten into this state. I will not let this go without an explanation!"

After making these harsh words, the general realized that he could not gain any advantage here, so he could only leave with his troops in disappointment.

Zhuang Ren did not stop him.

Even though he seemed very powerful just now, their General Security Department and even the entire County Governor's Office are weak now.

The fifth prince values ​​military power more than domestic affairs.

This is also why a mere general who appeared out of nowhere dares to be so arrogant.

And he really couldn't handle them.

Even if he had just captured someone, he would still have to let him go when the army came to pick him up.
