Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 94 Send out troops!

Shi Lie lay on the ground, gasping for breath, and this time it was his turn to sweat all over.

Just now, he was deeply trapped in Song Changming's sword force, and was manipulated by Song Changming like a toy.

At that time, he knew that he had no chance of winning this battle.

"I am not as skilled as others, and I accept defeat with all my heart!" Shi Lie was quite straightforward. After saying this, he stood up and walked back with the copper hammer in his hand.

"What a strong swordsmanship!"

The generals who watched the entire battle no longer looked down on Song Changming.

This young man not only has an outstanding level of physical training, but also has extremely strong strength. The most important thing is the sword skills he just displayed, which really amazed everyone.

"What kind of sword skills is this? It's somewhat like the inheritance of the Ghost Sword Faction, but it seems a little different." Xiao Jingchuan couldn't recognize it for a moment. This was the Soul-Breaking Sword Skill that had been improved and expanded by Song Changming.

He just felt that it didn't correspond to the many martial arts in his mind.

It's just that relatively speaking, it's closer to the Ghost Blade faction's sword skills.

Even the captain Fan Yun couldn't help but look at Song Changming a little more. He seemed to be thinking about Song Changming's sword skills. He was also a little worried about whether any of his generals could defeat this young patrol guard head-on.

"Anything else you want to discuss?" Song Changming looked as if he had nothing to say and was going back to eat.

"I'll do it!" Suddenly another general stood up and walked out.

Compared to Shi Lie who just held the bronze hammer, this general is obviously more well-proportioned. He is not tall, but he has his own aura and is definitely not weak.

After all, after Song Changming defeated Shi Lie, those weak generals would naturally not seek trouble by going out into the battlefield to get beaten again.

"I am Li Wenye, please teach me."

Compared to Shi Lie just now, this general seemed more polite.

Or perhaps it was the strength that Song Changming had just demonstrated that won their respect.

"Please teach me." Song Changming took a look at the other party's special long sword full of serrations and nodded.

The next moment, Li Wenye took the lead, with a whistling sound, and his speed was far faster than Shi Lie just now.

There is no doubt that this general follows the Marrow Cleansing Agility style.

It was precisely because of the difference in strength and style that he dared to go into battle under the pressure brought by Song Changming.

He believed that he had experience in dealing with brute force fighters and that his chances of winning were high.

He is confident that he can defeat Song Changming with his absolute advantage in speed and agility.

But unfortunately, Song Changming is not a pure brute force martial artist.

However, in the battle just now, Song Changming only displayed his brute strength and swordsmanship to defeat Shi Lie, without giving him the opportunity to show more strength.

Therefore, when Song Changming used his super-level light body skills to keep up with the opponent's speed, Li Wenye was stunned.

Then, he was swallowed by the endless cold wind, and experienced what Shi Lie had just felt. Only then did he understand the pain of being bullied.

Now, for Song Changming, dealing with these fifth-level warriors who were once considered masters and strong men is as easy as playing a game, and he can easily defeat them.

These two generals, who seemed to have great prestige in the army, couldn't even satisfy Song Changming.

This is the level that Song Changming’s strength has reached now!
The so-called military's hundred-man killer is not as powerful as the dragon-patterned knife in Song Changming's hand!

After another moment, Li Wenye was defeated again.

"Thank you for giving in." Song Changming put away his sword with ease, without blushing or breathing hard. His gaze fell on the other generals again, as if he was waiting for the next challenger.

But now, the air fell into silence for a moment.

The generals looked at each other, and none of them were sure of defeating Song Changming.

Captain Fan Yun's face is not looking good now. They all know that if they can't win again, the military will lose all face.

He took the initiative to provoke the other party, but was treated as a dish by a young patrolman who came out at random.

What is this called?
"It's okay, Changming, come back and have a rest." In the end, Xie Shihuan was still smiling. Not wanting the atmosphere of the banquet to become awkward, he took the initiative to call Song Changming back.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Jingchuan, who was sitting on the main seat, immediately clapped his hands and praised Song Changming, calling him a young hero and a genius in the art of swordsmanship.

This eased the slightly quiet and stiff atmosphere.

In essence, the theme of today is still a celebration banquet. If you are dissatisfied, you can compete, but you cannot damage the harmony. As the two major armed combat forces under the command of the county magistrate, at least not in public.

"You are better than before." Lu Zheng said as soon as he returned to his seat.

"It's still inferior to Brother Lu." Song Changming put down the dragon-patterned knife and smiled faintly.

He knew that not long ago, Lu Zheng's physical training strength had officially broken through to the sixth level.

It is said that he also had private discussions with Director General Xie Shihuan, but no one knows who won or lost between the two.

Song Changming has been accumulating strength day by day. The same goes for other martial arts practitioners. They are also racing against time, constantly practicing and honing their martial arts, and constantly accumulating progress.

No one will stand still and wait for Song Changming to overtake them.

At present, in terms of physical cultivation alone, Lu Zheng is still the one with the highest cultivation among all the patrol captains.

If Song Changming wants to completely catch up with or even surpass Lu Zheng's physical cultivation, it will take at least a few more years.

The level of physical cultivation is only one aspect and cannot fully represent the true strength.

Lu Zheng drank half a bowl of wine and shook his head. He originally thought that his strength had undergone a qualitative change recently and became much stronger, so he should be able to suppress Song Changming.

But after seeing Song Changming's swordsmanship and physical strength today, he changed his mind.

If he were to ask himself honestly, he didn't seem to be sure that he could win against Song Changming now.

"What an amazing talent." Lu Zheng couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Song Changming was indeed the fastest rising young warrior he had ever seen.

"I know that the captain still has many strong generals and warriors under his command. They are still stationed at the border and have not returned yet. This time we have taken advantage of them."

Xie Shihuan raised his glass to Captain Fan Yun and said this, which was also considered as giving the other party a way out.

"Thank you, General, for having such a hero. It really opens our eyes. It can also help to curb the reckless spirit of our army, so that we won't relax when we encounter war in the future." Fan Yun replied.

After that, the two of them no longer mentioned the competition.

After being disturbed by Song Changming's strong performance, he couldn't compete anymore.

"It's really gratifying, Changming, look at the way those generals are looking at us, it's completely different from before." Zhou Sixin said happily on the side.

Finally, he felt proud of himself. He felt that the dishes on the table were much more delicious and he ate them with great pleasure.

"In my opinion, the generals of this military are just so-so," a patrol captain whispered.

"There are still some powerful figures in the military, but just as Director Xie said, they are stationed outside and have not come." Lu Zheng suddenly said.

The celebration banquet lasted until late at night.

Many people were already drunk, and even Xiao Jingchuan said some bold words under the influence of alcohol.

He complained about the imperial court, angrily accused some people of disrupting the government, and even showed signs of wanting to become the local emperor of Donglai County.

Finally, the county magistrate couldn't bear it anymore and helped Xiao Jingchuan away to rest.

The crowd then dispersed.

As the news of the defeat of the three-county coalition forces spread, many officials in the Central Secretariat were furious.

I just feel that this Donglai County Magistrate has challenged the authority of the emperor time and time again.

They wanted to snatch the military command from the seriously ill old emperor and order the soldiers and generals across the country to attack Donglai County.

It’s a pity that they are not qualified to make this decision.

Now the six princes are all watching covetously. Whoever dares to use the emperor's military power without authorization and try to cause trouble will be the first to die.

The imperial court was unable to send out troops, so the officials of the Secretariat had no choice but to reprimand the governors of the three counties and then again demand that they send out troops to capture Donglai County at all costs and bring the governor to the imperial capital.

But this time, the governors of the three counties were obviously even more uncooperative. They made excuses for all sorts of reasons and dragged their feet, refusing to send out any more troops.

As a last resort, the Secretariat had to look for the county magistrate again, but the other county magistrates were not fools. After realizing that Donglai County was an extremely tough nut to crack, they all delayed the matter, citing the long journey, insufficient military rations, or serious banditry as reasons.

To put it bluntly, this is just an order from the officials in the Shangshutai, not a real imperial edict.

As soon as this incident happened, many caring people in the world realized one thing.

During this extraordinary period, the imperial power's influence on remote counties had become quite low.

Of course, some of the county governors had a prince standing behind them, and they ignored the officials of the Secretariat because they had a backer.

But no matter what, when they saw that the governor of Donglai County disobeyed the court's orders and even provoked a war and still managed to live in peace, many people in power became more and more restless.

Since a governor of Donglai County can do this, why can't they?

It is not difficult to foresee that more and more people will dare to do this in the future!

Regardless of the thoughts of these onlookers, Xiao Jingchuan was still worried in the county magistrate's mansion.

The letter sent to the third prince fell into oblivion, with no response at all.

The other princes had no intention of helping him, which made him isolated and helpless.

He actually knew very well that although the imperial court could not mobilize any soldiers to attack him now, this was only temporary.

Once the situation in the court stabilizes a little, a catastrophe will surely be waiting for him.

And his worries soon came true.

The old emperor recovered from his long illness and quickly put the court in order.

At the same time, an imperial edict regarding Donglai County was also issued.

Order the six counties surrounding Donglai County to send troops together to quickly attack Donglai County Magistrate Xiao Jingchuan!

This time, it was a genuine imperial decree, mixed with the wrath of the supreme ruler.

The old emperor has ruled the Dahan Dynasty for so many years, and his influence is still there. Even if the governors of the six counties are unwilling, they dare not delay.

At the same time, the old emperor also mobilized 50,000 border guards, on the one hand to supervise the war, and on the other hand to demonstrate the strength of the court.

This time, we must deal with the rebels as easily as autumn wind sweeps away fallen leaves!
There is some intention in making an example of the governor of Donglai County.

So the mighty coalition forces gathered in three days and marched to Donglai!

A total of one hundred thousand troops!
