Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 347: Flag Master Candidate Returns to Maple City! (Two in One)

"When will my brother leave?"

"We'll leave as soon as the city gates open tomorrow morning." Song Changping said. They would only stay for one night and came here just to explain things to Song Changming so that he wouldn't worry about them all the time.

"If you're in such a hurry, why not wait a few more days?" Song Changming couldn't help but ask.

"There is a long way to go. Our existence is too special right now, so it is better to avoid unnecessary complications." Song Changping shook his head.

"Brother, let's drink all night before we leave." The second brother Song Changan laughed.

Although as a zombie his sense of taste has been greatly weakened and he cannot taste the flavor of alcohol, he still loves to drink it.

"Okay!" Song Changming nodded.

A night of drunkenness.

the next day.

"Brother, this is a sensor talisman. If you crush it in danger, I can sense it. And these speed talismans are all made by me. Take them."

Song Changming handed some talisman papers that he made himself to the two people.

Originally, he wanted to give them some spirit crystals and money for emergencies, but his two brothers refused to accept them.

"No need to see me off, Changming." At the gate of the courtyard, it was still dark. Song Changping put on his hood again to cover his face. His figure, accompanied by morning dew, blended into the thin rain curtain and soon disappeared at the corner of the street.

After leaving the city, the two flew up into the sky and looked back at the towering city of the human world.

I think I won’t be back for a long time.

"Brother, when we go to the Nine Netherworld this time, we must make a name for ourselves no matter what!" Song Changan said firmly.

"Of course." Song Changping had a smile on his face, "How can we always rely on the old and young in the family to protect him? In the future, it will be us, the brothers, who will support him.

In addition, we should also avenge the Corpse Refining Sect ourselves!"

"Brother is right!" Song Changan clenched his fists, feeling the cold power brought by the zombie's body.

He no longer felt strange about this body and had completely accepted it!

Time passes day by day.

This military parade went on in full swing for a month.

A month later, the entire military was reorganized and some corrupt practices disappeared.

Some are happy, some are sad, some are rewarded, some are punished.

Some were even thrown into jail.

Is it necessary to have such a grand review?

At first Song Changming didn't take it seriously, but when he saw the results a month later, he had to say that it was indeed necessary.

Just like a weapon, if it is not used for a long time and is not polished or inspected, it will eventually rust no matter how good its quality is.

This military department is the sharp blade in King Cui’s hand!

The 41st Army where Song Changming was located fared better in this review. Only three or two sergeants were arrested for interrogation, and problems were found out and they were dismissed from their posts.

In general, under Wang Tianshuang's rule, all the soldiers were relatively law-abiding and had no disloyal intentions.

Song Changming has been concentrating on cultivation these years, so he is naturally very clean.

His troops were able to withstand investigation and no illegal or disorderly incidents occurred.

In addition, in terms of military combat effectiveness, the 41st Army experienced a total of five battles this month.

Except for the first battle against the Fifth Army, which they eventually lost, they won the remaining four battles.

The fighting power displayed was also recognized by officials in the palace and other generals.

Originally it was ranked somewhat behind in the middle, but now it has been moved up to the upper reaches, ranking 14th in the entire army.

This result is undoubtedly quite astonishing.

Marshal Wang Tianshuang also received many praises from King Cui. Combined with his past achievements, he was finally awarded a marshal's pearl and became the five-pearl marshal of the military.

Due to his outstanding performance, Song Changming was included in the discussion list of candidate candidates for the small flag leader.

Before this, Song Changming had no chance of being included in the discussion list due to his qualifications and background issues.

But this appearance in front of King Cui also allowed him to overtake others.

Also on the candidate discussion list is Xing Tiexin.

Xing Tiexin's qualifications and achievements are more than sufficient, and his background is a little worse, but he also has Yang Zhen's support behind him.

As for his strength, he, who had opened up the Tianwu Meridian, also performed well in this review meeting.

He and Song Changming are two great generals in the 41st Army.

The army was able to achieve such an impressive record this time, and the performance of both of them was indispensable.

"Although I have been included in the candidate list, if I want to be promoted to a minor flag master, I am afraid that it may not be possible in the past three or two years in this peaceful period."

In the second district, in Chunfeng Building, Xing Tiexin, wearing loose casual clothes, put down his wine glass and shook his head.

The military's crackdown period ended. After a month of being depressed, Xing Tiexin could no longer hold back and dragged Song Changming, Yang Zhen, and Fu Yuan, a few of his close friends, to the old place to drink and have fun.

"It takes so long?" Fu Yuan, who was standing by, was also a little surprised when he heard this.

"If you can be promoted to a minor flag master in three or two years, that's considered fast. Back then, Brother Yang was included in the candidate list, but he waited for nearly six years before he got the chance to take the position."

Xing Tiexin wiped the wine stains from his mouth and used Yang Zhen as an example.

"No wonder you didn't look very happy, that's why." Song Changming said with a smile.

A small flag master already holds a very high position in the military, and in a Green Flag Army, he is the second, third, or fourth in command.

The next position above a small flag owner is the commander-in-chief!
For the aristocratic families, they may not think highly of a military commander.

But they could not ignore a small flag owner.

Because no one can say for sure whether this little flag owner will be able to seize the opportunity to become a military commander and hold military power in the near future!
And precisely because the position of the small flag master is high and important, almost all the noble families are eyeing this position of promotion, and the competition has always been extremely fierce.

It took Yang Zhen nearly six years to stand out from the candidate list and become the leader of a small flag. It was not because Yang Zhen failed to seize the opportunity and delayed for too long.

On the contrary, Yang Zhen was able to successfully get promoted without any power or influence and working alone, which further demonstrates his ability.

Later, Xing Tiexin, Fu Yuan, and Song Changming himself, at least had Yang Zhen to help and guide them.

But Yang Zhen had nothing back then, and he had to make his way out of the darkness. You can imagine how difficult it was for him.

When Song Changming heard that it was difficult for a small flag leader to be promoted, he temporarily put his identity as a candidate aside and didn't think about it anymore.

"By the way, I heard that some other places in Yunzhou have also been frequently plagued by monsters in the past two years?" Song Changming took a sip of wine, suddenly remembered something, and asked.

This was what his two brothers had told him before, and it was also what they had witnessed along the way.

Demons were everywhere in Yunzhou. When they were suppressed in one place, another would rise up, making life miserable for the people. There were deserted villages and towns everywhere!

They said this because they wanted Song Changming in the army to be more careful.

In their opinion, Cuibai Road, which had experienced a demonic disaster, might not always be peaceful.

"That's true." Upon hearing this, Yang Zhen's face darkened and he nodded.

"Buling Road, Lichi Road, Qiuhu Road, these are all areas that have suffered from demonic disasters in the past six months, and there have been even earlier ones."

"Why can't this evil be completely eradicated?" Xing Tiexin asked puzzledly.

Yang Zhen sighed, "I'm afraid that something big is going to happen behind this demon disaster. The demon tribe is making a big move in Yunzhou. This is not a good sign.
If there really is a demon clan plotting against Yunzhou, our Cuibai Road is the gateway to the southern part of Yunzhou. By then, these twenty-eight cities will be turned upside down!"

After these words were spoken, the expressions on the faces of several people became more solemn.

"Hey, there's no point in us worrying about it. The ones who really make the decisions are at the top. We're just soldiers. We just have to follow orders and slay monsters." Xing Tiexin was the first to adjust himself, and said self-deprecatingly with a relaxed look.

"That's right, how can the human race's Yunzhou be so easy to seize?" Song Changming nodded. If it were so easy, how could the human race occupy these three states for thousands of years!

"Yes, if the demons want to invade our human Yunzhou, they must be prepared to never return." Yang Zhen nodded to Song Changming.

"Don't think about it, let's drink, drink."

"."

One month after the military parade.

Fengcheng, the city lord’s mansion.

Meng Jianli looked at the battle report presented to him. The bloody words about casualties made his eyelids twitch.

"This Hua Li slave has been silent for many years. How could he kill so many of my soldiers?"

"City Lord, that group of cat slaves has suddenly gained a lot of commander-level monsters. The soldiers are no match for them at all. Even General Huang was almost captured."

The general reported that even his body was covered with scratches and the blood was still flowing out.

It can be seen that he sent back this battle report at the risk of his life.

"I understand. You go down and rest first." Meng Jianli took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

"Yes." The general opened his eyes, but finally swallowed his words.

The city lord has the final say on how to make decisions.

But right now, not to mention those villages and towns, even Fengcheng is in danger!

Meng Jianli was obviously aware that the situation was gradually getting out of control, and he couldn't let the people of the city accompany him in showing off his strength.

He returned to the table without hesitation and sent a letter back to his family via a carrier bird.

This is a letter asking for help, and his family is one of the top families in the main city of Cuibai, the Meng family.

I believe that after receiving his letter, the tribe members will take action quickly.

"Pass the order, the whole city is under martial law, the city defense formation is open day and night, that Hua Li slave is good at disguise, just close the city gates, and don't let anyone in before the reinforcements arrive!"

October.

Looking at the road and scenery that gradually became familiar along the way, Song Changming felt a little emotional.

Back then, he set out from Fengcheng and took this road all the way to the main city of Cuibai, and only then did he truly settle down in the country of Guyuan.

Now, he returned along the same route, which can be regarded as a revisit to the old place.

The difference from before is that he had no background and was a newcomer and an illegal immigrant.

And now, he is already a general in the Cuiqi Army.

At the beginning, he had not even entered the Innate Realm, but now, he has opened up four martial meridians in the Innate Realm.

His body refining skills became even stronger.

All these changes indicate Song Changming's growth.

"Changming, do you recognize this place?" Xing Tiexin asked on horseback.

"Yes, I've been here before." Song Changming nodded.

"Do you know the demon Hua Li Nu named on the letter?" Yang Zhen, who was riding in front, suddenly turned his head and asked.

"I have some impression. When I first arrived in Fengcheng, the previous city lord was assassinated by the monster from the Hualinu tribe. I also fought with this monster before," Song Changming explained briefly.

As far as I can remember, the Hua Li Nu clan entrenched in the Fengcheng area is not very strong.

He was able to kill him back then, so now that he is leading an army here, there should be nothing to say.

"The letter mentioned that the Hualinu tribe suddenly has a lot of commander-level monsters wreaking havoc. We must not be careless at that time, lest we suffer a setback." Yang Zhen warned.

"Yes!"

The difficulty rating of this demon-slaying mission is not high, so it is impossible to send an entire army.

This time, Yang Zhen led the team and selected troops from Song Changming and Xing Tiexin to form a forced march.

Although Yang Zhen warned the soldiers verbally, he didn't take it too seriously in his heart.

Just think of it as taking Song Changming and Xing Tiexin with you to do a mission and bring back some merits.

Military missions like this kind of expedition are actually quite popular.

Because of this long-distance mission, the achievements settled are still quite considerable.

Apart from the fact that it is relatively troublesome to travel long distances, the difficulty is not high.

In line with the principle of keeping things within the family, Yang Zhen would naturally look for Song Changming and the other man for this good job.

After a few days of rapid travel, Fengcheng vaguely appeared in the field of vision.

"Hmm?" Song Changming looked into the distance and immediately sensed the evil aura shrouding the Maple City.

Yang Zhen also noticed something was wrong at almost the same time, and immediately said seriously: "Prepare to engage the enemy!"

Above Maple City.

The city defense formation came under continuous attack, causing layers of energy ripples.

Although there were no signs of damage, continuous attacks like this would only accelerate the energy consumption of the city defense formation.

Once the energy is exhausted, no matter how strong the city defense formation is, it will collapse.

On the city wall, Meng Jianli looked at the group of monsters who were doing evil things outside the protective formation, and felt very angry.

Of course he knew what these demons were planning, but he was helpless.

The combat forces under his command, apart from the city defense formation, were simply unable to defeat these monsters.

His number one general and number two general were Chu Wantong and Huang Silang.

Both of them have been seriously injured and are bedridden. Now he has no one he can rely on.

His real hope also lies in the main city.

"You must hold on!" Meng Jianli gritted his teeth.

This feeling of being a lamb to be slaughtered is really depressing.

He also has a daughter who practices in the Tianxing Pavilion of the Three Thousand Spiritual Mountains and can also help him.

But unless he had no choice, he really didn't want to call his daughter back and cause trouble for her while she was practicing.

Outside the city defense formation.

Hundreds of demons jumped around and kept attacking the protective formation with their claws.

"How come the human race can hold out for so long?"

"It doesn't matter if you can't break it. Just hang in there. I think you can last a few days!"

"When the battle is over, it will be our day to feast!"

"Great!"

"."

The demon became more and more excited as he spoke, saliva dripping from his mouth.

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly came.

"You can't wait until the formation is destroyed!"
