Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 324: A Year of Slaying Demons and Eliminating Evil! (Two in One)

"Jun Yan Lan, let's not waste any more time. How do we resolve this matter?" Wang Tianshuang glanced at Yang Zhen and the other three, then looked at the other party and asked.

Yang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Wang Tianshuang coming.

The person who supported them finally arrived.

"Marshal, please show some leniency on the grounds that Zhao Zun lost his son," Zhao Juchang said with a bow.

Wang Tianshuang did not answer, his eyes still on Yan Lanjun.

"I will ask Zhao Zun to apologize. He will take full responsibility for tonight's crime and let's put this matter behind us." Yan Lanjun frowned.

He also didn't want to have a falling out with Wang Tianshuang because of this matter.

"This idiot!" Yan Lanjun was getting more and more angry at Zhao Zun's brainless behavior, and he even asked him to humble himself and clean up the mess for the other party.

"What do you think?" Wang Tianshuang looked at Yang Zhen and the other three.

"Let the Marshal make the decision." Yang Zhen bowed.

Song Changming didn't say anything either.

Now the matter has become a big deal, attracting the generals of both sides and alarming the government. How to calm the matter down is no longer up to him, but basically decided by the higher-ups.

Soon, Zhao Zun was brought in and limped into the lobby.

Obviously, his right leg was not in good condition.

"How did you get hurt?" Zhao Juchang asked.

He was very puzzled. The news that was clearly reported back to the Zhao family was that Zhao Zun had attacked someone, but the four opponents were all fine, and only Zhao Zun, the attacker, was injured.

Zhao Zun found it hard to talk about this.

He couldn't say that he was injured because he couldn't beat Song Changming, a mere deputy general.

"Boss Zhao, I'm sorry to have troubled you tonight." Zhao Zun said in a muffled voice.

After being detained for a period of time, although he was still sad about the loss of his son, he had at least regained some rationality.

"It's fine with me, but you'd better think carefully about how to explain to the head of the family when you return. Punishment is inevitable." Zhao Juchang shook his head.

"I understand." Zhao Zun nodded, knowing that this was the consequence of his impulsiveness tonight.

"Zhao Zun, you have seriously violated military discipline. If you want to keep your position as flag leader, you should quickly apologize and seek forgiveness." Yan Lanjun said to Zhao Zun in a deep voice.

"Yes." Zhao Zun did as he was told, walked up to Yang Zhen and the other three, and lowered his head.

"I lost my temper today. The pain of losing my son made me lose my mind. It was all my fault that I took my anger out on you. Please forgive me. I will prepare generous gifts for you later. I hope you will not refuse."

"I'll let it go. Lord Zhao, just send more to Changming. After all, you just attacked him." Xing Tiexin took a deep breath and shook his head.

Even if he disliked Zhao Linxin in the past, he was his deputy general for many years after all.

Now that Zhao Zun came to hold him accountable, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty and didn't want to let it go.

"If Lord Zhao has thought it through, please don't cause trouble for our soldiers in the future," Yang Zhen reminded.

"There will definitely not be a next time." Zhao Zun said with his eyelids lowered, and there was not much emotion in his tone.

Song Changming was speechless.

His spiritual perception was very insightful and he caught the resentment in Zhao Zun's eyes, which had not really subsided.

Come to think of it, he was filled with resentment just now, how could he calm down so quickly?

His son died, and the demon who killed Zhao Linxin also died. This huge amount of negative emotions had no way to vent themselves. They were either transferred to other targets or digested silently over time.

"What a trouble." Song Changming said secretly.

However, he had taken this into consideration when he took the initiative to get involved in Zhao Linxin's death.

Zhao Linxin is not without relatives or friends, so this trouble will come to him sooner or later.

"Consider it the price of getting the inheritance from Zhao Linxin's Qiankun bag."

If the other party gave up, he wouldn't do anything.

But if the other party refuses to give in and keeps biting him like a vicious dog, then it will depend on who can kill whom.

After apologizing sincerely, Zhao Zun accepted the punishment from the government. He also had to compensate for the damage to the restaurant and the street, which was considered the price he paid for his impulsiveness tonight.

Afterwards, seeing that both 'parents' had settled the matter peacefully and were willing to make a big deal out of a small one, the government no longer detained them and allowed Song Changming and the others to leave on their own.

Zhao Zun was silent all the way after leaving the government office. After returning to the Zhao Mansion in the core city, he was scolded by the head of the Zhao family as expected.

"I know Lin Xin's death was a big blow to you, but what happened tonight was extremely stupid. You put yourself on the spot. It's inexplicable!"

"The master is right." Zhao Zun had nothing to say.

"Many people in the family are dissatisfied with you. Don't even think about getting any resource support from the family in the next two years." Zhao Boqi snorted coldly, waving his sleeves.

Zhao Zun's expression changed slightly, but he still agreed and was about to leave.

The head of the family, Zhao Boqi, suddenly looked at him and said, "Let me ask you, do you still want to deal with those people in the army?"

"Answer truthfully!"

Zhao Zun opened his mouth, met the patriarch's sharp gaze, and finally dared not hide anything.

"Yes"

"Don't even think about it. At least don't do anything rash for a while. You're in the spotlight right now, and this matter hasn't passed yet. You'd better pray that they're safe during this period of time!

Otherwise, no matter what the reason for their death, you will be suspected and you will not be able to clear the suspicion. Even if the matter gets to Queen Cui's ears, the entire Zhao family will be implicated by you!"

Zhao Boqi's voice was heavy, and every word was like a huge stone, pressing down on Zhao Zun, making it difficult for him to disobey.

This time, if Zhao Zunruo was only dealing with a few insignificant little people, then that would be fine.

However, Yang Zhen, Song Changming and others were all generals and flag owners with high military ranks, not insignificant figures without any status. Even a powerful family like the Zhao family could not cover up everything in the city and execute these people at will.

"Zhao Zun, think about your other children. You still have them. Don't do stupid things again, otherwise..."

Zhao Boqi only said half of his last words, but Zhao Zun already understood what he meant.

Zhao Zun gradually regained his rationality, took a deep breath, bowed, and then said: "Lin Xin is the most talented of my children, and the one I spent the most effort to cultivate.

But for the sake of the family, I will not mess around again, please rest assured, Patriarch."

Zhao Boqi stared at him for a while, then turned around and said.

"As long as you can figure it out."

At noon the next day, Zhao Zun ordered people to deliver apology to Yang Zhen and others.

Among them, Song Changming and Xing Tiexin, who were targeted, offered the heaviest apology, which was a full five thousand spirit coins, plus one hundred mid-grade spirit crystals.

It can be said to be full of sincerity.

Xing Tiexin felt uncomfortable with the Zhao family's act of sending money, and originally did not want to accept it. However, Yang Zhen asked him to accept it, hoping to put an end to the matter once and for all.

Song Changming, on the other hand, did not have so much psychological burden and received it very happily.

This amount of spirit coins plus spirit crystals is enough to cover his cultivation needs for another year!
Why not take away the free money and supplies?

No matter what happens next, enjoy it first.

Afterwards, Song Changming originally thought that Zhao Zun was unwilling to give in and might even plot some schemes to deal with him or Xing Tiexin.

It turned out that he overthought it.

The control that the aristocratic families have over their children is still strong enough. Since that day, Zhao Zun has never appeared in front of Song Changming and others again.

And Song Changming also started to get busy.

In addition to his daily practice, he took office in the army and officially became the commander of the 12th recruit team of the 41st Banner Army.

The first task was to gather a thousand soldiers under his command. He would select them one by one, recruit new soldiers who met his standards, and train them.

The standards for new recruits in his mind were actually much higher than the standards set by the military.

In other military units, warriors who have achieved remarkable results in the body refining realm can become members of the regular army.

Song Changming's requirement for the regular army under his command is that they must reach the Qi Refining Realm.

This is elite in other troops, but for him it is the minimum threshold that must be reached.

Not only that, he also had high requirements for the martial arts attainments of his soldiers.

The Qi Refining Realm is one thing, but one also needs to learn and master at least one martial arts technique to develop sufficient combat power.

Simply put, he wants all the best soldiers under his command.

This goal is naturally very difficult.

After all, everyone knows that elite soldiers are better and more powerful, but the problem is that the source of high-quality soldiers is limited.

It is not an easy task to recruit soldiers with excellent qualifications and strength.

To achieve the goal of having all employees be elite is not something that can be achieved overnight.

Fortunately, out of care for the new recruits, Wang Tianshuang has given priority to the two new recruits in the recruit camp in recent years.

Song Changming is not in a hurry to achieve the goal of training all his soldiers to be elite, and he can take it slowly.

Some of them are not yet strong enough to reach the Qi Refining Realm, but they have the potential and qualifications, so he can accept them first. With time, he can cultivate these good seedlings and develop combat power.

"Becoming a commander-in-chief brings me a higher status and power, but also more responsibilities."

Song Changming looked at the first batch of recruits and suddenly thought of the days when he was serving in the Patrol Armour Division.

The two are so similar.

It’s just that back then, I was more likely to fight with others and slay the evildoers in the martial arts world.

But nowadays, they are more likely to fight with monsters and kill each other on the battlefield.

The sun and the moon alternate, winter goes and summer comes.

The entire Cuibai Road spent a year of recuperation restoring order and rebuilding villages and towns.

The summer cicadas are chirping, the sun is shining brightly, and the red high temperature is evaporating the water vapor on the earth.

In June, there was a severe drought.

That night, in the courtyard.

There were several cups of fermented rice wine on the stone table, and Song Changming tasted them one by one.

For the first few cups, he just took a sip, savored the taste for a while, and then went to taste the next one.

Until the last glass, he took a sip, his eyes lit up, and drank it all.

“This wine is the best.”

Song Changming raised the empty cup in his hand and smiled at Song Pingan beside him.

"Hahaha, Young Master and I appreciate the same thing." Song Ping'an laughed happily.

Over the past year or so, he has developed six kinds of wine based on his past experience and new materials from the Ancient Yuan Kingdom.

He deliberately saved the cup he was most confident in for last, and was very happy after getting Song Changming's approval.

"Of course, the first five kinds of wine are not bad either, and I think they can all be promoted." Song Changming nodded.

He was indeed very satisfied with Song Ping'an's work results over the past year.

"Master, you have entrusted me with such a large sum of money and allowed me to do great things. I will not let you down." Song Ping'an laughed and filled another glass for Song Changming.

The wine that could be delivered to Song Changming was the result of his selection of the best. He believed that it had reached the quality that Song Changming wanted.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news." Song Changming nodded.

After the winery became stable and got on the right track, Song Ping'an expanded his network and channels, and then he could develop other businesses and industries, making a lot of money for Song Changming, collecting supplies, and acquiring intelligence.

He is very skilled in handling these.

Wherever there are people, there is the world of martial arts. As long as you adapt to the overall environment of Guyuan Country, some basic rules of the world of martial arts will not change much.

"Sir, I'll be leaving then." Song Ping'an said with a smile.

"Come back and leave the jug of wine."

"okay."

Song Ping'an left in a hurry as there were still many things at the winery that needed his personal attention.

"You should go to bed too." Song Changming said to the two little children standing shoulder to shoulder not far away.

"Sir, we are not sleepy." A Da said seriously.

The little brother next to him had already started to have droopy eyelids and was swaying from side to side, looking as if he was about to fall asleep.

"Children are at the stage of growing up, go quickly." Song Changming waved his hand.

"Yes." Ada no longer insisted. He grabbed the little brother's collar and dragged him back to the room.

Song Changming was the only one left in the courtyard, drinking alone under the moon.

Oh no.

There are two huge dogs as majestic as giants at their feet, and a little yellow chicken on the stone table, looking curiously at the wine in the glass.

"Want some?" Song Changming looked at it with interest, stretched out two fingers and pushed the wine glass forward.

The little yellow chicken couldn't help its curiosity, so it moved closer and pecked at the wine in the glass.

After a cup of tea.

The little yellow chicken staggered and demonstrated drunken boxing on the stone table. Its originally small eyes seemed to have turned into mosquito coils and kept spinning.

"grumble"

Song Changming laughed out loud.

Occasionally playing with the pets at home is one of his daily pleasures.

After drinking a pot of wine, it was almost midnight.

"Almost." Song Changming estimated the time, and as expected, he heard a familiar prompt tone.

Then open the panel and browse the latest messages that pop up.
