Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 477: More than Years of Glory! (Two in One)

Time flies and everything in the world is moving forward.

Before you know it, the little child has grown up, and before you know it again, he has gray hair and has gone through a lifetime.

One day in heaven, one year on earth.

In the blink of an eye, more than twenty years have passed on this vast land.

For ordinary people, these twenty years are enough for a child to grow up and for a person to grow old. It is undoubtedly a long period of time.

For a martial artist with a high level of cultivation, more than twenty years of daily practice is neither long nor short.

Some military men became famous during these twenty years, while others made great achievements during this period, were promoted to higher positions, and gained both fame and fortune.

And since there are latecomers, there have been predecessors who have fallen and died, and the cycle continues.

Outside the main city of Cuibai, there is a largest official road that stretches for thousands of miles, passing through countless villages and towns, benefiting countless people and providing convenient travel for many villagers and caravans.

On the official road, officers and soldiers brought groups of craftsmen to bury soil and fill stones to carry out daily repairs and maintenance of the official road.

"Sir, the sun is so scorching. You should take a break and drink some cold tea." An old woman in a tea shop not far from the official road called out.

Several officers and soldiers took a look at the huge fireball above their heads, wiped the sweat off their foreheads, and led their men into the tea shop, where they sat on the benches to rest.

"There have been evil spirits causing trouble in various places on Cuibai Road recently, and many people have gone missing. For safety reasons, you should close your tea shop and take a break for a while."

An older soldier drank a large bowl of cold water, wiped his mouth, and reminded the old woman.

"Oh, it's so dangerous." The old woman trembled and felt a little nervous.

"Mother-in-law, there is no need to scare you. Just for safety's sake, you should hide first. It won't be too late for you to come out after the higher-ups have dealt with this evil mess." The soldier meant well and said.

"Okay, okay, we won't open this tea shop when we go back today." The old woman nodded quickly.

"That's right." The soldier laughed.

"Sir, I wonder if there is any danger in the village. I am from Xiaao Village, which is only two or three miles away from here." The old woman then became a little worried about the village she was in.

"Don't worry about the village. If I remember correctly, the 19th Army's outskirts of the city are nearby. The military will protect you." The soldier comforted them.

"Oh, yes, yes, look at my memory." The old woman then remembered the military base outside the city, and her brows relaxed.

The military's forty-eight Green Flag Armies are stationed outside the city, each with a refuge area. In addition to stationing troops, they also protect the safety of villages and towns in various places.

As he was speaking, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the distance.

Gusts of sand then swept in from afar, almost blowing off the roof of the tea shop.

There was a sudden chaos and the old woman fell to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

"Wha, what's going on?!"

"Where did the evil wind come from?"

Several veteran soldiers who had some martial arts skills stood firm, squinting their eyes and looking into the distance.

In the sky, several ghostly shadows flew towards them at a high speed, scaring them so much that their faces changed drastically.

"Demon, the evil demon is coming!!"

Several experienced veteran officers and soldiers knew very well that the creature that could fly so fast in the sky was obviously not an ordinary monster.

They never expected that they were still talking about evil spirits the moment before, and the evil spirits would appear right after.

"Hey, there are still quite a few people here." The demon shadow originally wanted to fly away without staying, but when it saw that there were still quite a few living people gathered along the official road below, it suddenly became greedy again.

"There's no powerful one among these people. It won't be too late to abduct them and take them away." One of the demon shadows said, and soon won the approval of the other demon shadows.

They came here to capture people and resell them back to the demon world. The group of "unattended" living people in front of them are simply fat meat delivered to their mouths. How can they not eat them?

"Okay!" The other demon shadows laughed fearlessly and released their demonic power, which turned into a demonic wind all over the sky, like a huge black curtain covering the sky and the sun, and was about to roll up the people on the ground.

"stop!"

Hundreds of figures came rapidly from the sky, and the one leading them was none other than the current commander-in-chief of the 19th Army, Yang Zhen.

He just swept his spear, and the spear energy penetrated the air for a thousand meters, cutting a huge crack in the extremely powerful evil wind.

"Pei Bai, take some people to rescue people, and the rest of you follow me to kill the monster!" Yang Zhen gave an order.

"Yes, Marshal." Xiao Peibai responded in a deep voice. He also raised his spear and fell down with a dozen centurions to rescue those who were entangled in the evil wind.

Yang Zhen had a stern face and led the remaining generals to attack the evil demons.

For a moment, the pure energy continued to dispel the evil spirits around, allowing the bright and clear world to reappear.

"Damn it, it's coming too fast, let's retreat." Seeing how powerful Yang Zhen was, a demon shadow decisively gave up other ideas.

"Still want to run!" Yang Zhen used his martial arts skills and accelerated his body again. The nine martial veins in his body emitted a roar of energy at the same time.

Tunnel Flame King Spear!
With just one shot, the powerful gun energy knocked down those demonic figures one after another.

"It's no use. This guy is too strong. Use the lens quickly!" A demon exclaimed with blood oozing from his mouth.

Without him saying anything, one of the monsters had already taken out a piece of bronze mirror that reflected light.

As the demonic power was injected into it, this small piece of bronze mirror fragment suddenly glowed with a brilliant yellow light.

The light spread and magnified, forming a similar arch.

"Let's go!" When the demon saw the archway made of light taking shape, he breathed a sigh of relief and was about to jump into it.

Yang Zhen frowned upon seeing this, this group of monsters were extremely cunning, more slippery than loaches, they had escaped several times before, and now he saw that they were about to escape again, which made him very angry.

This was the first time he encountered such a difficult-to-capture monster since he became the commander-in-chief.

However, just as those monsters leaped into the light gate, a pair of pink eyes suddenly opened and fell on them.

The faint pink glow surrounded them, freezing their figures in the present moment, making it impossible for them to move.

"how so?!"

These monsters looked terrified and panicked.

They struggled desperately, but could not break the spell that bound them.

The escape door was right in front of them, but they were helpless.

Su Qingqing, with her long hair tied up and wearing light armor, floated over and landed next to the monsters. She couldn't help but look at the opened light door twice out of curiosity.

"What kind of ability is this? Is it also a sorcery?"

A look of confusion appeared in Su Qingqing's pink eyes. This was something she had never seen before.

"Qingqing, it's all thanks to you this time!" Yang Zhen landed a step slower and said to Su Qingqing with some embarrassment.

Su Qingqing shook her head and looked at the monsters again. These monsters were half-human, with hairy ears on their heads, pointed faces, and thin fur all over their bodies in different colors.

The most special thing is their tail. The big furry tail sometimes disappears and sometimes becomes solid, which seems incredible.

And Su Qingqing also recognized this monster from this.

"It turns out that the Xuwei demon is causing trouble." Su Qingqing said.

"The virtual-tailed demon?" Yang Zhen's attention shifted from the light gate back to the several demon tribes. He had never heard of this demon tribe.

"The demon tail of this monster can change between real and fake. It is hard to defend against when used as a means of attack. That's why it got its name." Su Qingqing explained briefly.

Then Su Qingqing suddenly raised her hand and grabbed it, and saw a piece of bronze mirror broke off from the body of one of the Xuwei tribe monsters and flew into her palm.

As the bronze mirror fragments disappeared, the light gate also closed and disappeared. This made the Xuwei clan monster look ugly, and he glared at Su Qingqing with gritted teeth.

"It seems that the power of this aperture comes from this thing." Su Qingqing looked at it and said.

"Previously, these virtual-tailed monsters disappeared with the help of this halo." Yang Zhen also said, his eyes falling on the piece of bronze mirror in Su Qingqing's hand.

There is no doubt that this is a very rare treasure.

"Now that we don't have this thing, we don't have to worry about these monsters escaping!" Yang Zhen said, and ordered someone to escort these virtual-tailed monsters back to the military headquarters to report.

"By the way, has the Marshal come back?" Yang Zhen suddenly asked again.

Su Qingqing shook her head. When she talked about this, her little mouth couldn't help but puff up slightly.

Her master went out alone for more than a month without taking her with him, which made her a little unhappy as she hadn't seen him for a long time.

"Then let's torture him first, and then make a decision after the Marshal returns." Yang Zhen looked at the virtual-tailed monsters trapped by the talismans, and said in a deep voice.

"Yes." Xiao Peibai settled the people and came over. When he heard Yang Zhen's order, he immediately agreed.

The fifth district of Cuibai main city.

As the main city became more and more prosperous, people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the population settled in the main city increased. Even the outermost fifth city district had gradually become bustling with people in the past twenty years.

As the population approached saturation again, officials in the royal palace proposed more than once to expand the city and build districts again.

The royal family paid more and more attention to this matter. As the rumors became more and more true, everyone believed that it would not be long before the construction of the larger sixth urban district would be started.

"Wow, what a majestic black tower. Dad, what is that for?"

Several oxcarts loaded with large quantities of grain drove along the official road into the Fifth District. A little boy sitting on the roof of the oxcart shed pointed at the huge black tower that was the most conspicuous in the Fifth District and exclaimed.

"That is the Demon Locking Tower. The evil demons will be imprisoned in this tower after being caught, and will be tortured day and night to pay for their sins." The old farmer took a look at the towering black tower and patiently introduced it to his child who was visiting the city for the first time.

"Speaking of which, there was no such tower in the Fifth District 20 years ago. If I remember correctly, the Demon Locking Tower was built exactly when you were born."

As the old farmer was speaking, suddenly an armored army as powerful as lions and tigers entered the city and headed towards the Demon Locking Tower. All the carriages, horses and pedestrians along the way gave way, all of them in awe of this army.

The old farmer was no exception. He quickly kept quiet and pulled his ox cart aside.

"Baby, come down quickly."

"Oh." The little boy jumped down slidably. Under the natural murderous aura and pressure of the warrior, he became a little timid and did not dare to move.

Suddenly, the little boy saw several strange-looking guys in the army, locked in large iron cages.

"Dad, is that the demon tribe?" the little boy couldn't help but ask.

He had never seen a monster in his life.

It was not until the army had gone far away that the old farmer replied, "Boy, that's a demon!"

"These evildoers have been captured by our army and are being locked up in the Demon Locking Tower."

When the old farmer talked about evil spirits, he also gritted his teeth.

The child had never seen the evil demon doing evil, but he had seen it with his own eyes, and he almost died at the hands of the evil demon, so he felt very happy that the army was catching the demon.

They are in awe of these powerful warriors, but also feel extremely fortunate. It is because of the protection of such a strong army that ordinary people like them can live a relatively safe and good life.

"Dad, I will definitely join the army in the future. I will definitely be able to eradicate the evil spirits and let mom and dad live a good life forever!"

After listening to the old farmer's story, the little boy felt his blood boiling. Looking at the group of soldiers going away, stars in his eyes, he spoke very seriously.

"Good boy, you have great ambition." The old farmer smiled and touched his chubby child.

If they could really join the Green Flag Army, even if they just became the most ordinary soldier, it would be a glorious thing for the villagers like them.

By then, the old farmer would probably wake up laughing even in his dreams.

The headquarters of the military, the Marshal's Cabinet.

Yang Zhen brought Xiao Peibai with him to report on the capture of the Xuwei demon.

Lu Yuchen and Wang Wenyu listened attentively to what Yang Zhen said and looked at each other.

The two of them no longer have the naivety they had when they first started their careers.

During their more than 20 years of official career, the two were able to stay by Song Changming's side and serve as his right-hand men without being replaced. This shows that they have outstanding talents and are deeply trusted by Song Changming.

And now, the two of them have extremely high power and status in the military, and are the heads of the military's civilian officials!

When Song Changming was not around, seeing the two of them was like seeing him.

Even a great commander like Yang Zhen had to lower himself by half a level when meeting the two of them.

"The Marshal had instructed before he left that if the situation is of special urgency, we should contact Lord Hu Zhong from the palace to come and take charge of the situation." Wang Wenyu said after Yang Zhen left.

"No rush. It won't be too late to make a decision after the interrogation results come out. In addition, we need to deploy military forces first to guard against other virtual-tailed monsters causing trouble." Lu Yuchen said.

Wang Wenyu nodded and immediately began to discuss the details of the deployment of prevention measures.

The whereabouts of the virtual-tailed monsters are strange and difficult to catch. If you want to be prepared, you have to speculate and analyze their possible next routes.

"The minds of demons are hard to predict. They seem to be here only to capture civilians. How can we predict it?" Wang Wenyu said.

"In this case, we need some bait," Lu Yuchen said, stroking his beard.

Over the past twenty years, both of them have undergone significant changes.

Wang Wenyu has a thicker beard, a leopard-like face, bronze skin, and is tall and strong. Although he has been a writer for more than 20 years, he looks more like a grassroots person.

However, his aura was indeed stronger than before, his blood and energy were rich, and there were obvious signs of martial arts training.

Undoubtedly, he did not give up practicing martial arts in his spare time.

Under his influence, Lu Yuchen was no longer as frail as before. He became more solid and his aura was more sustained and upright. However, his temperament was still elegant and his appearance was still dignified, but he had more of the charm of a mature wise man.

There is always a nonchalant smile on his face, which is very different from Wang Wenyu's seriousness.
