Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 122 Patrol for Ten Years
Afterwards, Zhuang Ren called Song Changming and asked him what happened.

"This matter is not easy to handle. If it was just an ordinary chivalrous man, it would be fine. But now that the army has been alarmed, this matter cannot be resolved peacefully, even if the other party has brought this upon himself."

Zhuang Ren thought for a moment, then said, "Let all the patrol guards under your command who were involved in this incident be dismissed from their posts. This will be an explanation to them."

Song Changming heard this and shook his head, saying, "I gave the order, so there is no reason for my subordinates to take the blame. Liang Zhaolong and his men were just doing their job as patrol guards, so what's wrong with that?

Fire me from my position."

"No, Changming, why do you want to ruin your future for such a small matter?" Zhuang Ren immediately advised.

Now, Song Changming is the most capable man under his command. He can accept the dismissal of other patrol guards, but he is reluctant to let Song Changming go.

"Otherwise, I will feel uneasy." Song Changming said calmly, without any hesitation in his words.

It was not difficult for him to make this decision, as he had already imagined this situation before.

If this job doesn't make you happy, then I'll quit.

He doesn't have to be an official.

As long as you have the ability, you can get along well anywhere.

Seeing that Song Changming had made up his mind, Zhuang Ren could only sigh and said, "I will try my best to be lenient with you."

"Thank you for your support along the way." Song Changming bowed to Zhuang Ren.

To be fair, Zhuang Ren, his new boss, was quite nice to him.

He was placed in the position of second-in-command of the General Security Directorate, and has been used in a responsible position until now, without anyone ever putting any obstacles in his way.

Although the two did not establish a deep friendship, the relationship between superiors and subordinates was still very harmonious.

"You, ah." Zhuang Ren didn't know what to say, so he could only sigh and leave.

That night, when he returned home, Song Changming told his parents about the matter so that they could be mentally prepared in advance.

If there is any regret about being dismissed from my job, it will probably be that I will disappoint my parents at home.

Especially Song's father.

When Song Changming became the patrol chief, he never forgot the excitement on his father's face and was happy for him for a long time.

As expected, the two elders were shocked when they learned that Song Changming might not be an official anymore.

However, after Song Changming explained the whole story, the two elderly people were indignant and not disappointed as expected.

"Changming, you did the right thing. That beast should be severely punished for doing such a thing!"

"If I can't be an official because of this, then this official position is really disgusting, so I'd better not do it!"

Song's father slammed the table and cursed.

"Changming, it's better not to be an official. If the fifth prince is defeated one day, the court will not be able to hold us accountable." Song's mother changed her perspective and said, holding Song Changming's hand.

"Your mother is right. In these troubled times, with war and chaos everywhere, the safety of your family is the most important thing." Song's father also said.

Song Changming was stunned when he heard this. After the two elders learned about this, they were not disappointed, but kept comforting him.

This made the last bit of burden in his heart disappear.

"Mom, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of our family." Song Changming said with a smile.

"I, I will also help Brother Song to protect the family!" Song Ping'an on the side also vowed.

Three days later, under pressure from the military, Song Changming was finally removed from his post as Chief of Patrol Guards.

The moment his official seal, official uniform and official sword were taken away, Song Changming couldn't help feeling touched.

Looking back, he entered the Patrol Division at the age of seventeen and started out as a small fire-carrying night watchman, and has been working his way up to this position ever since.

Now he is nearly twenty-seven years old, and his nearly ten-year patrol career is finally coming to an end today.

Ten years passed in the blink of an eye.

Now that I have put down my luggage, it feels like I am starting anew.

Without the heavy official uniform and armor, Song Changming changed into a neat set of dark-colored clothes and pants, without too much frills, appearing restrained and steady.

Afterwards, Lü Gang, Liang Chuanshan, and old acquaintances like General Manager Zhou Sixin, who had a good relationship with him, came to speak up for him.

But they couldn't help Song Changming in this matter.

However, Lu Zheng came a few days later, exhausted. He knew about this matter a little late, and said that he could find Gu Wenhui to help Song Changming get his original position back.

However, Song Changming felt that his current state of being free from official responsibilities was quite good, so he did not ask Lu Zheng for help.

"Changming, I know your abilities. Brother Gu has often mentioned you and asked about your recent situation. Now that you have lost your official position, why don't you follow me to see Brother Gu? He will definitely treat you well."

Lu Zheng hesitated for a moment, but still said that he would invite Song Changming again.

"I appreciate your kindness, Brother Lu, but right now I just want to have a good rest for a while and practice martial arts in the yard." Song Changming declined politely.

After hearing this, Lu Zheng stopped pursuing the issue as he did in the past.

After the two of them finished their meal, Lu Zheng left in a hurry. Soon after Lu Zheng left, Liang Zhaolong and his former patrol guards came up again, saying that they wanted to resign and continue to follow Song Changming.

Although Song Changming was quite touched by these people's trust in him, he had no plans to support so many people, so he had to persuade them all to go back one by one.

He knew very well that many of these patrol guards were the breadwinners of their families, with wives, children and elderly parents. Even if the patrol job was disgusting, they could not give it up on impulse in order to support their families.

I thought the matter was over.

As a result, the next day, Liang Zhaolong and seven or eight other patrol guards resigned from their patrol positions.

"Liang Zhaolong, what are you doing?" Song Changming looked at the people in front of him, feeling both amused and helpless.

"Boss, you know that we are different from other brothers. We are alone and free from all the worries. You can't abandon us." Liang Zhaolong said.

"Besides, this matter was caused by us after all. You can't bear it alone!"

"Yeah, boss."

"I've had enough of this shitty job."

"."

Several of them spoke one after another, showing no regrets about giving up their patrol posts.

Seeing this, Song Changming could only accept the loyalty of a few people.

After being together for many years, no matter what, he could not abandon these former subordinates.

As for what arrangements to make for this group of people, we will consider it slowly in the future.

After all, they are all elite patrol guards of the headquarters, and their skills are very useful no matter where they are.

Liang Zhaolong, in particular, had great potential for growth. He was now a fourth-level warrior and was almost able to master a set of low-level sword skills.

Judging from his current performance, Liang Zhaolong definitely has a promising future and is an excellent helper.

Under the cover of night, outside the county city, beside the Luolong River, a group of horses and soldiers arrived at a cloud of dust and stopped in a deserted place.

The leader was none other than the general Gao Qiu.

He was seen staring at the county town in the distance, his eyes were gloomy and seemed to be covered with a layer of blood in the dark night.

"General, shall we take action tonight?" said someone behind him.

"Well!" Gao Qiu's voice was fierce, "Do you think you can get away with just a simple dismissal? You dared to beat Ah Hu like this. If I don't bring your heads back today, I will never be able to explain to my parents in the future!"

"Enter the city!"

In the courtyard, Song Changming was discussing future plans with Liang Zhaolong.

Practicing martial arts costs money, so after they came out of the General Security Department, they first had to find a way to make a living.

"The world is in chaos now, with countless refugees and people in distress. Among them are farmers, as well as skilled craftsmen and doctors who used to work in the city.

There is no shortage of talents in troubled times, but what is lacking is stability. If we can protect them, provide a clinic for doctors, a shop for craftsmen, and a few acres of land for farmers, they will bring wealth."

Song Changming spoke slowly, picked up the cup, and took a sip of sake. The alcohol content was very low, so he just tasted it.

What he said was actually just a general idea, without any specific implementation plan.

Liang Zhaolong listened on the side, seemingly thinking about something, as if he had a general idea.

"Maybe I can set up a gang, a faction, and try to recruit these refugees."

"It's useless to just think about it, just do it." Song Changming nodded.

He has a stable industry, the blue water silkworm, which brings in money every month, which can be used to inject capital into Liang Zhaolong in the early stages, giving him ample opportunities to trial and error.

"Okay!" Liang Zhaolong nodded.

In terms of execution ability, Liang Zhaolong is still very strong, or it can be said that among the General Patrol Guards, there is no one with poor execution ability.

As the two were talking, Song Changming suddenly put down his wine glass, and his eyes, which had been relatively relaxed, narrowed slightly.

Liang Zhaolong, who was standing beside him, immediately understood the situation due to years of working together. He grabbed his sword, stood up suddenly and looked at the surrounding walls.

A cold wind blew in at night, creating a small whirlwind in the yard.

Song Changming also picked up the dragon-patterned knife beside him.

Under the tree in the yard, Dahuang and Dabai suddenly pricked up their ears, as if they heard some noise. The dogs, which were originally dozing off, immediately raised their heads.

"Guard the yard for me." Song Changming said to Liang Zhaolong, then jumped up, stepped lightly on the iron stakes with his toes, spanned more than ten meters, jumped straight over the eaves, climbed over the courtyard wall, and landed in the alley outside the courtyard.

He didn't want a fight to break out at home, fearing that his yard and house would be destroyed.

Therefore, when he noticed someone visiting him late at night, he chose to go outside to deal with it.

When he landed in the alley, he saw twenty or thirty people in night clothes approaching here, one in front and one behind.

They didn't seem to expect Song Changming to arrive early, and the sound of footsteps stopped.
