Chapter 357 Arrest, Confrontation! (Two in One)
"Government personnel?" Yang Zhen remained calm, judging that the other party was a military officer under the city government, not a soldier from the military.
"We have not committed any crime in the city, you have no right to arrest and privately try us. According to the rules, the military will investigate this matter."
"I want to see the commander!"
"Arrest, then don't blame us for being rude!" The leading military officer said, and was about to take action, not intending to continue talking nonsense.
I saw that his aura was rising, and the intensity of the innate qi that was dissipated gradually became terrifying.
The same was true for several military officers around him, as if they had been prepared for a long time, knowing Song Changming's strength, and the military officers who came to arrest and detain were all very powerful.
"You really think highly of us." Song Changming murmured, one hand already on the hilt of the knife.
The battle with Zhao Liang gave him a lot of confidence, and at this moment he was not afraid of any enemy!
It is not difficult to guess that the Zhao family's calculations are probably to control them one step ahead of anyone else.
Once they were taken away without knowing what they were doing, who knows what unknown means Zhao would use in the future.
Therefore, Song Changming would not obediently take off his armor and follow.
Just as the two parties were about to make a big fuss at the city gate, a voice like thunder fell from the direction of the city.
"Stop!"
Song Changming and his companions looked over and were determined.
Wang Tianshuang personally led the troops to come, and his eyes swept over the military officers of the government.
"They are my generals. No matter what accusations they are facing, there is no reason to bypass the military to arrest them."
Wang Tianshuang's tone was cold, with unquestionable majesty.
"This matter involves a lot, and it is better for the commander not to wade into this muddy water." The leading military officer said in a muffled voice.
The reminder in the words, or the warning, was very explicit.
Wang Tian's eyes flashed with a fierce light, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
The boundless murderous intent on his body turned into an overwhelming momentum, pressing on the group of military officers.
Let this group of people feel like they are in a hell of corpses and blood!
This is the courage and power gained after countless bloody battles on the battlefield, which is not something that ordinary warriors can possess!
"I dare not, but" the military officer looked gloomy, but he did not dare to contradict the military commander who held great power.
"No buts, make way!" Wang Tianshuang interrupted the military officer.
The military officers looked at each other and finally had to make way and let Song Changming and others leave.
"Marshal." Yang Zhen walked behind Wang Tianshuang.
"It seems that the Zhao family is more anxious than expected." Wang Tianshuang said slowly.
"If the marshal hadn't come this time, I'm afraid it would be troublesome." Yang Zhen nodded.
Indeed, they could have arrested them just now.
But fighting with government military officers at the city gate is equally bad, and I'm afraid it is also the result that the Zhao family hopes to see.
They can have more sufficient reasons to control this group of people.
"The real trouble is still to come. The Zhao family's intentions are already very clear." Wang Tianshuang said, and suddenly looked at Song Changming who was following him.
This general under his command, I remember, has only been in the army for five or six years.
When he was in the recruit camp, he was spotted by Xing Tiexin and promoted to deputy general.
After that, his performance became more and more outstanding, and he was finally selected by Wang Tianshuang, who personally helped him to the position of the general and commanded a troop.
In just a few years, Song Changming's promotion in the army has to be said to be extremely fast, and it has been smooth sailing without encountering too many obstacles.
Especially after the military parade, Song Changming has become quite famous in the army.
Even King Cui asked him about this general.
Wang Tianshuang thought that he had already highly regarded the potential of this general under his command.
But with the urgent report sent back by Yang Zhen this time, Song Changming's growth rate far exceeded his expectations.
Killing Zhao Liang with one sword, shocking the world!
Such a top cultivation talent, whether it is due to personal feelings or for the sake of the righteousness of the human race, he did not want Song Changming to be strangled by the Zhao family from the bottom of his heart!
Therefore, he chose to stand on the side of Song Changming and the other two.
Even if the Wang family behind him wanted him to remain neutral, or even lean towards the Zhao family.
But he was not prepared to do so.
He has always had more than just family interests in his heart, and his vision and pattern are not limited to this.
"If you can't even protect your generals when they are persecuted, how can this general have the face to continue!"
Wang Tianshuang has his own persistence and is not affected by the family.
The Meng family members were escorted all the way to the core city, outside the Meng Mansion.
"Thank you, Lord Yang, and the generals for your help. It's hard to escort you all the way." Meng's mother was helped down the carriage by Meng Shuxuan and thanked Song Changming and others.
"You're welcome, madam, this is what we should do." Yang Zhen said.
"I have also heard about some things, and I will try my best to help if I can." Meng's mother suddenly said before entering the mansion.
Although this wife of Meng Jianli may not have any say in the Meng family, it is always beneficial for Song Changming and others to have more people helping her.
After returning to the garrison, Yang Zhen took Song Changming and Xing Tiexin to formally report to the commander Wang Tianshuang.
"Please tell me the details clearly." Wang Tianshuang sat on the high seat and looked at the three people in front of him.
"Yes." Yang Zhen began to tell the whole story of this mission without any concealment.
Song Changming also talked about the process of killing Zhao Liang.
It was not complicated. As for the evidence mentioned, many generals present at the time, including Meng Shuxuan and some generals in Fengcheng, saw it.
As meticulous as Yang Zhen, he had already collected everyone's testimonies when he was in Maple City and presented them to Wang Tianshuang.
As long as the matter is investigated and investigated according to normal procedures, there is almost no room for argument.
It is certain that Zhao Zun and Zhao Liang, father and son of the Zhao family, colluded with the demon clan to ambush and kill the military generals.
These two people died in vain.
But the problem is that as the Zhao family is a top family in the core city, it is easy for them to confuse right and wrong and confuse right and wrong as long as they are willing.
This is also the reason why ordinary people cannot fight.
People don't even need to reason with you before they can eat you alive.
Therefore, the truth of this incident is not the most critical.
What really matters is how many people are willing to defend Song Changming and his party, and how many people choose to associate with the Zhao family.
Just like the military attaches affiliated with the government at the city gate at the beginning.
They didn't care about the truth. They only cared about what the Zhao family told them and took Song Changming and others away by force.
After Wang Tianshuang listened and read all the testimonies, he said with a faint smile on his face.
"Don't worry about this. Now that you have returned to the main city and the military headquarters, you are safe.
The Zhao family can't touch you, and if the Zhao family dares to go too far, the price they will pay may be beyond their imagination! "
Seeing that the commander was confident, Song Changming calmed down a little.
Of course, he would not be completely relieved just because of Wang Tianshuang's words.
There are still variables. God knows what outrageous things the Zhao family will do. He must be on guard.
Walked out of Wang Tianshuang's meeting hall.
"What do you think?" Yang Zhen asked.
"At this point, I can only choose to believe in the commander-in-chief." Xing Tiexin said.
Song Changming didn't say anything. His relatively cautious character made it difficult for him to trust anyone except himself.
Looking back over the past few decades, he can count on both hands the number of people he truly trusts.
It takes enough time together for him to build this trust.
At the moment, not to mention this handsome man from a noble family, even Xing Tiexin and Yang Zhen beside him, although they have been through life and death together, he cannot trust them 100%.
Therefore, he always prepares for the worst.
After the three of them left the station, Yang Zhen and Xing Tiexin hurried home to check whether their family members were well.
Song Changming also returned to his residence in the Third City District.
"Master!"
In the courtyard, Ada, who was practicing his sword, saw Song Changming returning and immediately put away his sword to greet him.
"Has anything happened these days?" Song Changming asked.
"No." Ada shook his head.
After his mental perception was swept away, everything in the house remained the same, no change from before he left.
The little white bird on the wall of the courtyard, the big yellow and white bird taking a nap in the yard, and the little yellow chicken lying on the stone table basking in the sun.
It seems that the Zhao family has not yet taken action against Song Changming and the people around them.
But Song Changming had to guard against this.
"Call Ping An back. I'll see him if I have something to do." Song Changming ordered Ada.
"Yes, young master." Ah Da agreed and quickly left the house with a vigorous posture.
Within a moment, Song Ping'an hurried back and saw Song Changming sitting in the courtyard, and Ah Er was pouring wine for him, and he couldn't help but smile.
"Sir, you are finally back. This mission went well."
Song Changming shook his head, "The mission is over, but it left a lot of trouble. That's why I asked you to come back."
Hearing this, Song Pingan realized that what Song Changming said was not simple, and immediately put away his smile.
Song Changming immediately revealed his opposition to Zhao.
"Recently, all the industries you are running have been suspended, and I took Ah Da and Ah Er to Cuiwei City for a while at night." Song Changming said.
He didn't want to have any worries.
This time, the huge threat from the Zhao family meant that he might not be able to protect the people around him, so he decided to evacuate the people around him first and stay away from this quagmire vortex to avoid being affected.
"I know!" Song Ping'an looked solemn, and without asking any more questions, he nodded heavily in agreement.
In the past, although not many times, Song Changming also encountered some crises, large and small.
It is Song Changming's consistent style to let people around him take refuge in advance and let him bear the risks brought about by this crisis alone.
Song Pingan also knew very well that his stay was just a distraction to Song Changming. Only by cooperating and staying away could Song Changming have less worries and minimize the losses.
At this time, there is no use showing off.
After only one night.
Song Ping'an's wine shop, wine room, and even the plan to bid for a restaurant had to be discontinued directly.
Everything followed Song Changming's arrangements, efficiently and decisively.
The house suddenly became deserted, leaving only Song Changming and the little yellow chicken and the little white bird who were unwilling to leave him.
"Jiji."
In the past, Xiao Huang only felt that the two silly big dogs, Big Yellow and Big White, were noisy. Now, without the barking of these two guard dogs, Little Yellow Chicken was a little uncomfortable with the tranquility in the house.
He turned over lazily and waved his wings at the little white bird on the wall of the courtyard.
Seeing this, the little white bird obediently flew to the side of the little yellow chicken, combed its hair with its beak, and served it carefully.
"You really know how to enjoy it." Song Changming saw it and found it interesting.
The little thing looks a little bigger, but it has learned a lot about human society.
"Let me make it clear first. I'm in some trouble now. If you don't want to leave, be careful and smart in your residence.
When I'm not around, if bad guys break in, hide quickly when you hear the sound, otherwise you will be caught and made into soup, and I won't be able to save you in time." Song Changming said.
He knew that the little thing could understand.
In any case, the chicks are also a member of his family. He doesn't want to come back one day and have only a few feathers left on the ground after raising the chicks for several years.
"Chi." The little yellow chicken responded lazily, and didn't seem to care much.
But the little white bird next to it raised its head and looked at Song Changming steadily.
Song Changming was lying on a bench in the yard. It was customary to rest for a few days after returning from a mission.
He didn't need to deal with military affairs. Wang Tianshuang also deliberately gave the three of them a few more days off. The troops had several deputy generals who took turns to be in charge.
Song Changming turned his hand over, and the ancient ring appeared in the palm of his hand.
It was Zhao Liang's Qiankun Ring.
The delicate rune marks appeared and disappeared on the inside and outside of the ring.
He touched the ring with his right hand.
He had a spirit crystal in his hand.
A top-grade spirit crystal.
It was more than twice as big as a medium-grade spirit crystal, and one was as big as a small fist.
The crystal clear crystal was emitting a milky white energy halo.
The purity and strength of this spiritual energy far exceeded the medium-grade spirit crystals he had seen before, and the low-grade spirit crystals were even more incomparable.
With Song Changming's current perception, he could not detect even a trace of energy impurities on it.
This purity, which is unique to the top-grade spirit crystal, is also its precious feature.
When applied to cultivation, it can greatly reduce the difficulty of refining spiritual energy and speed up the efficiency of cultivation.
In his arms and in the wooden box, the mountain ginseng spirit stretched out a few long whiskers, drew a dialog box in the air, and discussed with Song Changming about wanting a few top-grade spirit crystals.
"Don't even think about it." Song Changming directly rejected it.
If it were a few medium-grade spiritual crystals, he would not be reluctant to give them up, but the mountain ginseng spirit has high standards and does not look down on the spiritual energy in the medium-grade spiritual crystals.
Only this high-grade spiritual crystal can attract its attention.
Seeing Song Changming's refusal, the mountain ginseng spirit had to withdraw its tentacles in dismay.
"Here, this jacaranda flower is for you." Song Changming was not a person who would not give up anything, and handed over a blue exotic flower.
"Thank you! Thank you!" Xiao Jin said happily, and with a long beard, he put this natural treasure into the wooden box and digested it.
This flower is naturally also a collection in the ring.
The value of a jacaranda flower is not low, and it is considered generous for Song Changming to give it to the mountain ginseng spirit.
Of course, this is also because there are already mountains of rare treasures like this in the ring.
He became very rich, so he was willing to give it up.
After all, his Qi training still relies on Xiao Jin's assistance, and squeezing without giving out is not a long-term solution.
Over the years, he has been able to make such rapid progress in his training, and this mountain ginseng essence has also contributed greatly.
