Chapter 180: Journey to the North (Part 2)

"This, this hero, please save our mother and daughter." The woman was in a panic and couldn't think too much. She could only treat the dead horse as a living doctor and asked Song Changming for help.

She knew very well that if no one came to help, she and her daughter would be found by the other party, and there would be no possibility of escape.

Dahuang and Dabai on the side came up to sniff the scent of the mother and daughter to obtain pheromones.

This scene made the woman turn pale with fright, and her whole body was shaking violently, but she still protected her daughter in her arms, for fear that the big yellow in front of her would become ferocious.

The "big dog" was actually the little girl who was still in tears. After seeing Dahuang, she stopped crying and looked up again and again.

In close comparison, the little girl is not as tall as one of the big dog's front legs.

To her, big dogs are definitely giants, but she is surprisingly not afraid of such giants.

Even though Rhubarb's nose was close to her face, she just watched quietly, and even reached out to grab Rhubarb's nose.

Song Changming saw this scene and was a little surprised, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Who are you? What are your origins?"

"I, He Lian'er, belong to the He family in Taiqing County. They encountered robbers on the road and were cornered. Please, please help me." He Lian'er couldn't help crying after seeing Song Changming's young appearance clearly.

Song Changming frowned when he heard this, and looked a little colder, and said: "It's understandable that Madam doesn't tell the truth. After all, you and I met by chance. If I encounter those robbers and ask questions later, I will pretend that I have never met Madam and leave quickly. Bar."

After saying this, Song Pingan understood and prepared to drive the carriage to leave.

"Wait a minute, I am really from the He family in Taiqing County, but I really don't know why those people came after me.

If, if the young master still has doubts, please take your daughter back to the He family. The He family will definitely not treat you badly. "He Lian'er said anxiously, holding her daughter in her arms.

She died when she died, but she didn't want her daughter to die with her.

Song Changming looked at the little girl again, was silent for a moment, and then said: "Madam, please get in the car."

He Lian'er was overjoyed, thanked her repeatedly, and took her daughter onto the carriage.

The carriage continued to move forward, bypassing a high slope, returning to the official road, and heading towards Taiqing County.

"Madam, you have been living in Taiqing County?" Song Changming asked.

"Yes, I took my little girl out for an outing today, but unexpectedly she almost died. Thanks to the young master for helping me," He Lian'er still felt frightened when talking about it.

Only now did she have the heart to guess the other party's true intention of committing the crime.

"Perhaps they want to hijack us and ask for money from the He family, or they may be sent by other powerful locals who are at odds with the He family."

During the conversation, Song Changming was also observing the other party to make sure that the other party did not seem to be lying.

This young woman really didn't know the real intention of the group of people to attack her convoy.

"Since we are traveling together, I will send my wife back to He's house." Song Changming said.

"Thank you so much, sir! I'm so grateful for this great kindness!" He Lian'er bowed and saluted. She didn't have the squeamishness and arrogance of a member of a large family, and she was willing to lower her body when expressing her gratitude.

"It's okay, madam, have you ever heard of the Changming Society in the city?" Song Changming asked again.

"Changming Meeting? I have vaguely heard about it. There seemed to be a conflict with the Sanhe Gang in the city a few days ago. In the end, it seemed that many people were arrested by the officers and soldiers." He Lian'er said after thinking for a while.

He had heard a little bit about this matter, but he had no specific knowledge of the situation.

When Song Changming heard this, he immediately frowned and sighed inwardly. It seemed that he was a step too late.

"Is it the government?" Song Changming thought to himself.

This so-called official government is exactly the official government under the control of the second prince, and has nothing to do with the current imperial court.

Song Changming didn't have a good impression of this second prince.

If Liang Zhaolong was arrested by the government, he wouldn't mind breaking into the government prison.

As for whether he would be wanted by the second prince, he didn't care about this issue.

The hatred between the two existed as early as three years ago.

The only way to resolve this grudge was that he already had the answer in his mind, and he didn't intend to change it at all.

After that, Song Changming learned more about the second prince and the current situation of the northern states and counties from the young woman of the He family.

While the two were talking, the sound of rapid horse hooves soon sounded from behind.

"Brother Song, here we come!" Song Pingan, who was working as a coachman outside the carriage, looked back and said.

"Yes." In the carriage, Song Changming did not look. Just by listening, he could confirm that the group of people who were chasing the mother and daughter were approaching.

Now that he decided to let the mother and daughter get on the carriage, he was ready to take action.

He does hate unnecessary trouble, but he is not indifferent to the point of being heartless.

After practicing martial arts for more than ten years, in addition to allowing myself to protect myself, I also want to make myself less helpless and more arbitrary in the long years.

If you act according to your heart, no one can stop you from doing what you want to do, and no one can force you to do something you don't want to do.

He felt compassion for the little girl, so he came to help her. With his current ability, there was no need to be timid in everything.

A chilling aura roared in. After the group of pursuers approached, their eyes immediately locked on this lonely carriage.

Dahuang immediately bared his teeth, sensing the bloody smell of these people and the unconcealable malice.

As long as Song Changming gives an order, it will regard them as enemies and pounce on them without hesitation.

"This is the carriage just now. It should have nothing to do with the He family." One person said in a muffled voice, looking at the two big dogs, with all his fear in his heart.

"Stop! Search!" The leader didn't care about these, and gave an order.

The team quickly surrounded the carriage and stopped it.

"Stop!"

"What are you doing!" Song Ping'an stood up with a knife and asked coldly.

"Let the people in the carriage come out!" The leader ignored Song Ping'an and just raised his hand to order.

Suddenly, a man jumped off the horse, holding a long sword, and wanted to force the carriage open.

"You dare!" Such a domineering style also angered Song Ping'an.

Song Ping'an also jumped up and chopped with a knife.

At the first fight, the opponent's face changed drastically, and he was directly overturned and fell to the ground in the air by the power of Song Ping'an's knife.

The opponent was only a fourth-level body refining cultivation. Facing Song Ping'an, who was a sixth-level strength and a dragon body, he had no power to fight back.

Seeing this, several more people from the group of pursuers came over immediately.

And this time.

"Da Huang, Da Bai."

In the carriage, Song Changming spoke lightly, as if the seal had been lifted.

Woof!

Da Huang had been impatient for a long time and pounced directly.

The pursuer's internal organs were dislocated, bones were broken, and he vomited blood.

Raising his claws to bite, and even picking up his tail to hit like an iron rod, the group of pursuers were strong, but no one could stop the rampage of the two big dogs.

Soon, there were seriously injured people all over the ground.

Including the leader, although he had the strongest strength of the seventh realm among the crowd, he could not stop Da Huang's attacks several times, and fell to the ground with scratches all over his body.

Now these two dogs have the strength to fight against extreme realm warriors, let alone this group of warriors!

This is why Song Changming was relieved to leave the battlefield to Song Ping'an and the two dogs.

To deal with these people, he didn't need to do it himself.

After getting off the carriage and taking a closer look, Song Changming had already seen some clues without even asking.

"You are sent by the government." Song Changming's words were not questioning, but rather very decisive.

The expressions and behaviors of this group of people, as well as many subtle characteristics, were all seen by his super insight.

They were definitely not ordinary people in the martial arts world, but more like people with official status.

"Since you know our identities, why don't you let us go! Are you waiting to be punished for a serious crime!" The leader snorted coldly, and stopped pretending, and directly threatened Song Changming, saying.

"You don't seem to have recognized the situation yet?" Song Changming raised his eyebrows and said, stepping on his right arm and breaking it.

This man gritted his teeth and endured it hard without making a scream.

Song Changming looked at the others again. Not all of them were hard-headed, and soon confirmed that his guess was correct.

This group of people were indeed sent by the government.

It was an order issued by the officials around the second prince, and a new round of forced conscription began again.

What was different this time was that in addition to the common people, the local tyrants also had to contribute money and effort for him.

And those powerful families who did not want to cooperate immediately ushered in official retaliation, forcing you to contribute money and effort.

One of the ways to deal with the He family was to kidnap the mother and daughter and other important family members to force the He family to submit.

Of course, these things would be done in the name of the Jianghu gang, and the government was just a pusher hidden behind the scenes.

Unexpectedly, Song Changming intervened in this matter and failed halfway.

Just like the second prince wanted to seize Donglai County, but Song Changming disrupted all his plans.

Now, it is the same again.

It must be said that Song Changming and the second prince are simply destined to be in conflict and do not get along well.

And from the mouths of these officials, Song Changming accidentally learned that the Changming Society was also on the list of forces that the government wanted to exploit.

Therefore, the government is also behind the recent crisis faced by Changming Society.

No matter how well Changming Society develops, how can it compete with the government forces under the command of the Second Prince?

Therefore, division and defeat are almost inevitable.

Of course, now that Song Changming is here, everything is another matter.
