Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 355: Meng's bet, who killed him! (Two in one)

Several centurions also fell down one after another, and led their troops to block this group of sudden people, as if they were facing a powerful enemy.

After all, the other party's innate aura is so strong that it is really hard to ignore, and there are more than twenty of them!
Just as these centurions were wondering whether to release a signal flare directly to attack the invaders, one of them took out a warrant without further ado.

There are many patterns engraved on it, and in the center is a big word "Meng".

All the soldiers were shocked and immediately put down their weapons.

They all recognized that it was Meng's identity token, and the attire of these people showed that they were undoubtedly children of wealthy families.

"Where is Banner Master Yang?" asked the older man holding the token in the lead.

His voice was not loud, but it turned into sound waves that spread layer by layer and easily spread throughout the City Lord's Mansion.

After a few breaths, Yang Zhen, Song Changming, Xing Tiexin and others landed in the yard one after another.

"Greetings, Senior Meng Yuan." Yang Zhen's gaze fell on the leader, his expression changed slightly, and he bowed.

Judging from the changes in Yang Zhen's expression, Song Changming knew that the leader in front of him undoubtedly had a high status in the Meng family.

He wore a jade crown and had a few wrinkles on his face, but he didn't look as old as Zhao Liang.

"Tell me clearly how my brother died!" Meng Yuan had a blank expression on his face, but his voice was filled with emotion.

Obviously, his heart was not as calm as he appeared.

Song Changming also quickly realized that the leader of the Meng family was actually Meng Jianli's brother.

The innate energy from the other party spread out, and the aura was extremely strong and full of oppression.

Song Changming was deeply impressed that the brother of Meng Jianli in front of him was actually a top-notch warrior who had opened up nine martial meridians and reached the innate perfection realm!
Yang Zhen explained the whole process of how Meng Jianli was assassinated by the disguised Huali slave demon, but did not reveal the matter of Zhao Zun and Zhao Liang for the time being.

Meng Yuan listened in silence, his aura becoming slightly unstable.

The surrounding energy also became chaotic. The flowers and plants in the yard flew away, the floor tiles broke into pieces, and the gravel was disturbed by the energy magnetic field and floated one meter above the ground.

The other members of the Meng family who had arrived looked at each other and kept silent, not wanting to get into trouble at this time.

"Uncle." Meng Shuxuan came suddenly.

Meng Yuan's breath just stabilized and the chaotic energy around him dissipated.

"Xuan'er." Meng Yuan's face showed sadness and he sighed.

"It's Uncle who's late."

Meng Shuxuan pursed her lips and said, "Uncle, mother is waiting for you."

"Okay, take me there." Meng Yuan nodded.

After watching the group go away, Song Changming withdrew his gaze.

"It's okay. At least he doesn't take his anger out on us. He's not a rude person." Xing Tiexin said softly from the side.

"This Meng Yuan is no simple person. He has a lot of say in the Meng family. Perhaps we can work hard on him." Yang Zhen said.

He didn't know Meng Jianli, but he knew who Meng Yuan was.

In a house, Meng Yuan looked at Meng Jianli's body in the coffin with his fists clenched.

"younger brother"

"Xuan'er, is everything you said true?"

In the lobby, Meng Shuxuan stood behind Meng Yuan with cold eyes.

"I saw with my own eyes that the Zhao family colluded with the demon clan."

"I understand." Meng Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

outside the house.

Song Changming walked into the lobby at this time, attracting the attention of many Meng family members present.

"Senior Meng Yuan, the city lord left me a letter before he left, asking me to take it back to the Meng family and hand it to you personally."

Song Changming directly stated his purpose and handed over the suicide note that Meng Jianli had given him.

Meng Jianli is undoubtedly a meticulous person.

I had long been worried that something unexpected might happen to me one day, so I had always prepared a letter like this, in which I detailed many of the things I would do after my death.

Before his death, Meng Jianli did not have the time to specify who he would hand it over to, but at this time Song Changming felt that the person in front of him was a good choice.

Because of this letter, the way many Meng family members present looked at Song Changming changed.

After all, Meng Jianli was willing to entrust the letter to Song Changming before his death, which was enough to show that Song Changming was at least someone Meng Jianli could trust during his lifetime.

Meng Yuan took the envelope, opened it and read it.

There were several sheets of letter paper, and it was obvious that Meng Jianli had indeed explained a lot of things.

After reading the letter, Meng Yuan was quite moved. After a long time, he let out a breath and looked at Song Changming.

"Thank you."

"My condolences." Song Changming shook his head and said.

"You must be the General Song that Xuan'er mentioned. Can I have a word with you?" Meng Yuan suddenly said.

"Okay." Song Changming agreed, thinking that the other party already knew about Zhao Zun and Zhao Liang.

The two of them left the lobby and came to a deserted small courtyard.

"You killed Zhao Zun and Zhao Liang, so you should know that the Zhao family will never let you go." Meng Yuan went straight to the point and said bluntly.

"It's the same whether you kill me or not." Song Changming said this as he stood two steps behind Meng Yuan.

"Indeed, you have no way out. You must confront the Zhao family." Meng Yuan nodded.

Song Changming didn't say much. He could see that the powerful man from the aristocratic family in front of him was not the kind of person who would beat around the bush, so he simply waited for Meng Yuan's next words.

He also knew that what he was going to say next was the key point.

It depends on the other party's attitude towards this matter.

"I can help you." Meng Yuan turned around and looked at Song Changming directly, without beating around the bush.

"Even let the Meng family stand on your side in this matter, but there is a prerequisite."

"Senior, please speak."

"Xuan'er said that you killed that old man Zhao Liang by yourself. To be honest, I didn't see it with my own eyes, so I don't quite believe it. If you can block my sword, you will have convinced me." Meng Yuan said.

Song Changming understood it clearly. He thought that the other party was willing to help him largely because he killed Zhao Liang alone.

This achievement is really amazing.

He does not have the Qi training level of the innate perfection realm, but he has the combat strength of the innate perfection level.

With such a talent, Meng Yuan doesn't mind doing his best to get some of him.

Of course, the prerequisite is that the goods need to be inspected.

Does Song Changming really have the strength and potential to make it worthwhile for him to do so?

"Okay." Song Changming agreed.

"Then stay here. Do you need to prepare anything?" Meng Yuan pulled out his sword and asked.

"Anytime." Song Changming has already used up all his armor seals.

The other party was also a strong man in the innate perfection realm, so he couldn't be arrogant. "Okay!" Meng Yuan was not polite and stabbed out a sword.

The sword energy was like a beam of strong light, hitting Song Changming's abdomen in an instant.

It is not a vital position, and if Song Changming cannot take it, it will not be fatal.

The sword energy was extremely condensed. Even when it fell on Song Changming, it did not cause much noise, nor did it cause any violent energy shocks in the courtyard. It was obvious that this was intentional on Meng Yuan's part.

Don't want to attract too much attention.

puff!
There was a slight sound of flesh tearing, and a tiny bloody wound appeared on Song Changming's abdomen where he was hit.

Song Changming was injured, but that was all. The injury was not serious. Even Song Changming's body did not shake at all because of the sword. He still stood firmly in the same place.

After a few breaths, without any movement from Song Changming, the wound stopped bleeding on its own and gradually healed.

"No need to use the internal energy to protect the body, just pure physical resistance, what an amazing result of physical training!"

Meng Yuan was well aware of the power of his sword. Seeing Song Changming block it so easily with his body still moved him greatly.

Especially after witnessing Song Changming's self-healing ability.

In his eyes, this treasure-level body was truly flawless and rare in the world.

With only this flesh and blood body, he is indeed qualified to fight with a strong man in the innate perfection realm, and even has the possibility of killing him.
Even though this person's Qi training level has only opened up four martial meridians.

Meng Yuan thought about it and basically accepted Song Changming's extraordinary combat ability.

"I will help you to the best of my ability. This is my promise." Meng Yuan put away his sword and said.

"Then what does senior need me to do?" Song Changming said seriously.

He always felt that Meng Yuan's promise to help him was a little too easy.

This muddy water is no small matter. It will offend the Zhao family and has serious implications.

Even though Meng Yuan has the support of the Meng family, which is also a top family, but from a family perspective, is it really worth it for Song Changming to offend the Zhao family?

"This is what I promised you, and I will not go back on my word. If you have any concerns, just consider it as you owe me a favor." Meng Yuan walked out, talking as he walked.

"In addition, from my personal point of view, you helped my brother before, so I can't just sit back and watch this time."

After saying this, Meng Yuan left the yard.

It can be seen that Meng Jianli's death still made him depressed and he was unwilling to talk more.

What he was talking about was the help that Song Changming had given to Meng Jianli when he had just taken office in Fengcheng.

Song Changming was not sure whether what the other party said was sincere. After all, this was their first meeting and conversation, and he did not know much about this super powerful person from a noble family.

But no matter what, although Meng Yuan agreed to help this time, Song Changming actually didn't pay anything.

Whether the other party regrets it or not, he has nothing to lose.

Afterwards, the Meng clan members who arrived took over Fengcheng and let one person temporarily take over the position of city lord to ensure that the officials in the city would not be leaderless. They tried their best to ensure the development and operation of Fengcheng and avoid chaos.

The position of temporary city lord will only be removed after the transfer order for the new city lord is issued in the main city.

Yang Zhen, Song Changming and others also received notices from the military and had to go back to report.

Also returning were Meng Jianli's family, including Meng Shuxuan with the golden-winged Roc.

On the other side, in the core area of ​​the main city, Zhao Mansion.

In a courtyard with pleasant scenery and great style, the atmosphere seems particularly depressing at this moment.

"Is Zhao Liang really dead?" An old man with disheveled hair walked into the yard, and an old voice was heard.

"Meet the elder of the Zhao Lie clan."

When the people in the courtyard saw the old man coming, they all stood up and bowed.

This also includes the contemporary head of the Zhao family, Zhao Boqi.

"Boqi, you say." Zhao Lie looked at the patriarch of the Zhao family with his hands behind his back.

Zhao Boqi sighed, his face solemn, and nodded, "Indeed."

"This guy Zhao Liang, I thought he could live to see the end of his life." At this time, another old voice floated in from outside the yard.

Looking closely, the person who came in was another white-haired old man.

"Greetings, Elder Lei Clan." When everyone in the courtyard saw him, they bowed and greeted him respectfully.

"Boqi, how did that guy die?" Zhao Xinlei asked.

"He was killed outside." Zhao Boqi shared the information he had obtained.

However, in just a few days, Zhao Boqi was able to learn the fate of Zhao Liang and Zhao Zun, as well as a series of events that took place in between. This shows that the Zhao family's intelligence network is also quite powerful.

Of course, on the other hand, Zhao Liang brought Zhao Zun to find Song Changming and the other two to settle accounts, and actually other people in the family also knew about this matter.

But on the surface, those who knew about this matter were giving face to Zhao Liang and covering up for him.

It was not until the news of Zhao Liang's death came that they could no longer sit still and were summoned by the family one after another. Finally, the news reached the ears of the head of the family.

Zhao Boqi also knew the cause and effect of this matter.

"Humph, you are just an old man, you are really useless. You can't even beat a junior. Instead, you lost your life and brought shame to the family. Your crime is even more serious!"

Another gust of wind blew, and a third old man appeared in the yard. He spoke sharply and was not polite to the dead.

"Meet the elder of the Tong tribe!"

When the younger generations of the family saw the tall and thin appearance of the person who came, their hearts skipped a beat.

Sure enough, this matter would alarm the clan elder!

From the changes in the expressions of these Zhao family descendants, it can be seen that the third elder who appeared has greater prestige in the clan.

"This time, let the descendants of Zhao Liang bear the responsibility for the crime and do not let them off easily!" Zhao Butong said this, his eyes fell on the head of the family, Zhao Boqi, obviously speaking specifically to him.

Zhao Boqi took a few steps forward and did not readily agree as he had done in the past. Instead, he shook his head and sighed, "His son and heir Zhao Zun also died this time."

"Zhao Zun? I have some impression of him. He seems to be Zhao Liang's most proud son." Zhao Lie thought for a moment and recalled Zhao Zun's appearance in his mind.

"Zhao Zun is dead too? This is really..." Zhao Xinlei didn't know what to say for a moment.

If we add in Zhao Linxin who died a few years ago, the most important direct bloodline of Zhao Liang died in just a few years.

Even Zhao Bushong, the clan elder who was most dissatisfied with Zhao Liang, gave up the idea of ​​blaming him for a moment when he learned about this, and instead asked in a deep voice.

"Who did it?"

"It's the same person, the commander of the 41st Banner Army in the army, Song Changming." Zhao Boqi said in a deep voice.

"Captain?" The wrinkles on Zhao Xinlei's face became deeper and more lined.

"No matter how incompetent Zhao Liang was, he wouldn't have ended up being killed by a main general in the army. This doesn't make sense. Is there some other hidden story?" The clan elder Zhao Lie questioned.

"To be honest, I couldn't believe it when I first heard the news. But it is a fact. Intelligence from multiple sources is like this, and it basically can't be wrong!" Zhao Boqi said with some difficulty.

In the courtyard, Zhao Juchang, the senior deacon who had been standing with his hands hanging down, suddenly spoke.

"Master, several clan elders, according to the latest news, the team that the commander is with is already on the way back to report."

Seeing that the big brothers in the family were all looking at him, Zhao Juchang paused and then continued to ask.

"Should we intercept and kill him so that he can't return to the main city?"
