Chapter 121: Focus on Military Power, Neglect Internal Affairs

After that, Song Changming began to practice his body-refining skills day after day.

This process was boring and there was nothing much to say. Only watching the experience points of the body-refining skills increase little by little could make him harvest the joy of accumulation.

Under the amplification of the cultivation effect of "God rewards hard work", plus his root bone attribute that had been improved to 18 points, the progress of full-strength body refining was still quite fast.

But no matter how fast it was, he estimated that it would take at least two and a half years to break through the sixth level of the Bull Demon Art to the seventh level.

The seemingly small 600 points of body-refining experience points, each point of growth was extremely laborious.

In the state of "God rewards hard work", he could barely increase the experience points of the Bull Demon Art by a little bit a day.

And if the state of cultivation declined, such as becoming "dedicated", it would take three or two days to increase the experience points of the Bull Demon Art.

"I still lack money. If I can continue to have a hundred-year-old mountain ginseng every month, the progress of body refining will be very different!" Song Changming muttered to himself in the headquarters.

He has been short of money for a long time.

In the past, his main source of income, in addition to the government's monthly salary, was the bounty for arresting wanted criminals and the rewards for participating in some large-scale tasks in the General Office.

The bounty for wanted criminals is hard to come by, and it is purely a matter of luck. The same is true for the big tasks of the General Office.

If he is lucky, he can earn thousands of silver in bounties from these two items throughout the year, which is definitely a huge sum of money.

But if he is unlucky and nothing happens every day, the amount of the bounty will plummet, and it will be good to have a few hundred silvers, which can't even buy a hundred-year-old mountain ginseng.

In previous years, luck was good and bad.

But now, the Fifth Prince issued an order to confiscate their patrol's arrest authority.

Those wanted criminals only need to shout that they are here to surrender to the Fifth Prince and work for the Fifth Prince, and Song Changming and others will have to let them go and let them be taken away.

The world has changed, and the rules have changed. Without the temptation of reward silver, it is still so aggrieved. Most of the patrol guards have lost their motivation and can only lie down and fish, and Song Changming himself is no exception.

If the evil people cannot be caught, what is the point of having them patrol?

In the long run, Song Changming's main source of income, from fleecing the government, has gradually become the family's growing business of green water silkworms.

Now just selling blue-veined green water silkworms can bring in dozens of silver every month!

And this amount of income is increasing almost every month.

If it weren't for Song Changming, a big spender, I'm afraid the Song family would have accumulated a rich fortune just by selling green water silkworms.

It can also be seen from this that it is not easy for an ordinary family to provide a strong warrior.

Of course, Song Changming is different. He practices multiple physical training skills, so the money he needs to practice is more than that of ordinary warriors.

This day.

Several chivalrous men had eaten and drunk their fill, and suddenly saw a woman from a family. They were tempted by her beauty and forced their way in.

"Young lady, we are going to make achievements soon. Reward us today. When we return with success, we will not let you down."

On the street.

A young patrolman heard the crying and shouting from the other end of the street and couldn't bear it.

"Liangtou!"

Liang Zhaolong held a knife, his face was uncertain, and he couldn't get over it in the end. He stopped and turned around to take the patrolman into the house.

On the other side, Song Changming, who was practicing martial arts at the headquarters, soon heard the patrolman's message about the matter.

In the past, there was no need to report such trivial matters to Song Changming, and the evildoers were directly arrested and put in jail for trial.

Now, it is a sensitive period, and the situation is different.

After hearing this, Song Changming frowned and said calmly: "Since the superiors ordered not to arrest people, then break all their hands and feet, and don't bring them back."

"Yes!" The patrol agreed and left in a hurry.

Not long after, Liang Zhaolong came quickly, with a little blood on his hands that had not been treated yet.

"Sorry, boss, it's my fault. I couldn't help it." Liang Zhaolong bowed his head and admitted his mistake as soon as he arrived.

In his opinion, this caused trouble for Song Changming.

"It's okay. If I were you, I might have taken action at that time. It's not a big deal." Song Changming patted Liang Zhaolong on the shoulder and didn't care about it.

However, the next day, a cavalry rushed to the General Security Headquarters in a hurry. The ferocious general in the lead even broke through the patrol's obstruction and rushed in.

"Find! Find the bastard who ruined my brother!"

The general's voice was as dull as a beast's roar, and the soldiers behind him immediately followed suit and searched the General Security Headquarters.

"How dare you!" A patrol chief came over and shouted, "Who are you? How dare you trespass into the strategic location of the mechanism!"

The general stared coldly at the patrol chief in front of him, and asked the man who was limp on a soldier behind him, "Ah Hu, was it this man who did it!"

His brother shook his head, and suddenly saw Liang Zhaolong approaching, and immediately screamed, "Brother, it was him, it was him who broke my hands and feet!"

When the general heard this, he stopped talking nonsense, stared with his eyes, and strode towards Liang Zhaolong.

He had the bloody murderous aura unique to the battlefield, and his deterrent power was extremely strong.

Liang Zhaolong almost instinctively wanted to draw his sword, but was held down by Song Changming on the side.

Song Changming then stepped sideways and stood in front of Liang Zhaolong.

"Get out of here!"

The general was extremely rough, and his big hand full of scars and calluses slapped Song Changming.

Song Changming raised his hand and grabbed the opponent's wrist. The general's huge strength was instantly eliminated by him.

"Seeking death!" Upon seeing this, the general jumped up and kicked Song Changming.

Song Changming also raised his feet.

Bang!

Both of them had great strength, but after the kick, Song Changming still stood on the same spot, while the general staggered and took several steps back before barely regaining his balance.

There was a look of surprise in the general's eyes. He thought that the strength of these guards in the city was average.

But Song Changming's move overturned the idea he had before coming.

"General!"

When the soldiers on the side saw this, they immediately gathered together.

The general was a little embarrassed, and he didn't care about anything else. He grabbed the spear from a soldier and pointed it at Song Changming.

Seeing this, Song Changming's eyes instantly turned cold.

Now that weapons are revealed, the nature is different.

Song Changming directly pulled out the dragon-patterned sword, the strong wind roared by, and the sound of bells and birds chirped.

The sword fell and directly cut the spear in the general's hand into two pieces.

The next moment, Song Changming stepped on him and stepped forward.

The general's pupils shrank suddenly, and he felt that his vision went dark, as if there were countless ghosts grabbing his body and eating his flesh and blood, making his whole body feel cold.

Having experienced the battlefield for a long time, he smelled the approaching breath of death again at this moment, and his heart trembled a little.

"stop!"

Suddenly a loud shout came, and the sword force that suffocated him instantly dissipated.

In a trance, he saw that a long, broad knife had been placed on his neck. The cold blade was close to his skin, and pain like needle pricks kept coming from it.

Just now, his body was almost separated from his body!

The two dragon patterns on the blade were very eye-catching, even a little dazzling to him.

"Dragon Blade!"

The general suddenly remembered a name that had been widely circulated in the world.

When Song Changming saw Zhuang Ren approaching with a sullen expression, he put away his knife.

"Who can tell me what is going on!" Zhuang Ren glanced at everyone present and said coldly.

The patrol chief, who was the first to walk out, immediately explained what had just happened.

"Who in the army are you?! You ran into my head of public security and acted wild!" Zhuang Ren stared at the general who had just saved his life and asked in a bad tone.

"General Secretary Liang, I am a high-ranking general, and I belong to the fifth prince. Yesterday my brother's hands and feet were broken by your patrol in the city. Tell me how to solve this matter!" When the general met Zhuang Ren, his tone was still unconcerned. Be polite and ask directly.

"Presumptuous!" Zhuang Ren stared at the so-called general in front of him and said angrily.

"I will find out this matter myself. You, a mere general, led troops into the city without authorization today. You also forced your way into our Public Security Directorate and openly caused trouble. Do you think no one in my county governor's office can control you?"

The corner of the high chief's mouth twitched, and he wanted to be tough, but suddenly he caught a glimpse of Song Changming holding a knife at the side, and felt an inexplicable chill on his neck again.

"I was reckless today, but this matter is not over yet. My brother came to seek refuge with the Fifth Prince yesterday, and he came to join the army. He was beaten like this. I won't be able to let it go without giving him an explanation!"

With these harsh words, the general saw that he could not get any benefits from here, so he could only leave with his troops and horses angrily.

Zhuang Ren didn't stop him.

Even though he was very powerful just now, now their Public Security Directorate and even the entire County Sheriff's Mansion are weak.

The fifth prince emphasized military power and despised internal affairs.

This is why a general who just appeared out of nowhere dares to be so arrogant.

And he really can't deal with them.

Even if he has just arrested someone, when the army comes to pick him up, he still has to let him go.
