Chapter 324: A year of slaying demons! (2-in-1)
"Mr. Yan Lan, let's not talk nonsense. How will this matter be settled?" Wang Tianshuang glanced at Yang Zhen and the other four, then looked at each other and asked.
Yang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Wang Tianshuang arriving.
The people who supported them finally arrived.
"Commander, please keep an open mind because Zhao Zun has lost his son." Zhao Juchang cupped his hands and said.
Wang Tianshuang did not answer, his eyes still fell on Yan Lanjun.
"I will ask Zhao Zun to apologize. He will bear all the blame tonight and the matter will be revealed." Yan Lanjun frowned.
He didn't want to get into trouble with Wang Tianshuang because of this matter.
"This idiot!" Yan Lanjun became more and more angry at Zhao Zun's mindless behavior, and asked him to put down his body and clean up the mess for the other party.
"What do you think?" Wang Tianshuang looked at Yang Zhen and the others.
"Just let the commander-in-chief make the decision." Yang Zhen cupped his hands and said.
Song Changming didn't say anything.
Now that this matter has become a big deal, it has attracted the marshals from both sides and alarmed the government. It is no longer up to him to decide how to calm down the matter, it is basically decided by the superiors.
Soon, Zhao Zun was brought and limped into the lobby.
It was obvious that his right leg was in trouble.
"Why are you injured?" Zhao Juchang couldn't help but ask.
He was very puzzled. The news that came back to the Zhao family was that Zhao Zun had beaten someone. As a result, all four of them were fine, but Zhao Zun, the one who beat him, was injured.
Zhao Zun found it difficult to talk about this.
He couldn't say that he couldn't kick Song Changming, a mere general, and he was injured by the kick.
"Mr. Zhao, I have asked you to worry about tonight." Zhao Zun said in a dull voice.
After just a period of detention, although he was still sad about the loss of his son, he had at least regained some sense of rationality.
"It doesn't matter to me, but you should think carefully about how to explain to the head of the family when you return. Punishment is inevitable." Zhao Juchang shook his head.
"I understand." Zhao Zun nodded, knowing that this was the consequence of his impulsiveness tonight.
"Zhao Zun, you have seriously violated military discipline. If you want to keep your position as flag leader, you should quickly apologize and get understanding." Yan Lanjun said to Zhao Zun in a deep voice.
"Yes." Zhao Zunshun obeyed, walked up to Yang Zhen and the others, and lowered his head.
"I lost my composure today. The pain of losing my son made me lose my mind. It is all my fault that I have angered you. Please forgive me. I will prepare generous gifts for you in the future. Please don't refuse."
"I'll forget it, Zhao Banner just sends more to Chang Ming. After all, you just attacked him." Xing Tiexin took a deep breath and shook his head.
Even if he disliked Zhao Linxin in the past, he was still his lieutenant for many years.
Now that Zhao Zun came to hold him accountable, he was inevitably a little bit regretful and unwilling to hold on.
"If Zhao Banner understands this, please don't trouble our generals again in the future." Yang Zhen reminded.
"There will definitely be no next time." Zhao Zun lowered his eyelids and said without much emotion in his tone.
Song Changming was speechless.
His mental perception was insightful and he caught the anger in Zhao Zun's eyes, which had not really subsided.
Thinking about it, I was still filled with resentment just now, how could it calm down so quickly?
The son is dead, and the demon clan that killed Zhao Linxin is also dead. This huge negative emotion has not been vented. It is either transferred to other targets to vent, or it is digested silently over time.
"What a trouble." Song Changming said secretly.
But when he took the initiative to get involved with Zhao Linxin's death, he took this into consideration.
Zhao Linxin is not without relatives, and this trouble will come sooner or later.
"Just think of it as the price for getting the inheritance from Zhao Linxin's Qiankun Bag."
If the other party just gave up, he wouldn't do anything.
But if the other party is unrelenting and bites him like a vicious dog, then it depends on who can kill whom.
After he apologized sincerely, Zhao Zun accepted the punishment from the government. In addition, he had to compensate for the damage to the restaurant and street. He had paid the price for his impulsiveness tonight.
Afterwards, seeing that the 'parents' on both sides had calmed down the matter and were willing to reduce the major issue to a minor issue, the government stopped detaining a few people and ordered Song Changming and others to leave on their own.
Zhao Zun was speechless all the way out of the government office. When he returned to the Zhao Mansion in the core city, he was, as expected, angrily scolded by the head of the Zhao family.
"I know that dying at the end of the day is a big blow to you, but what happened tonight is so stupid that you set yourself on fire. It's inexplicable!"
"That's what the head of the family said." Zhao Zun had nothing to say.
"Many people in the family are dissatisfied with you. In the past two years, you can no longer expect any resource support from the family." Zhao Boqi snorted coldly, rolling his sleeves.
Zhao Zun's expression changed slightly, but he still responded and was about to leave.
The head of the family, Zhao Boqi, suddenly looked at him and said, "I ask you, do you still want to deal with those people in the army?"
"Answer truthfully!"
Zhao Zun opened his mouth, facing the sharp gaze of the family master, and finally did not dare to hide it.
"yes"
"Don't think about it, at least you can't mess around for a short time. Now you are at the forefront of the storm and this matter has not passed yet. You'd better pray that they are all safe and sound during this period!
Otherwise, no matter what the reason is for them to die, you will be suspected, and you will not be able to escape the suspicion. Even if the matter reaches King Cui's ears, the entire Zhao family will be implicated by you! "
Zhao Boqi's voice was heavy, and every word was like a big stone, constantly pressing on Zhao Zun's body, making it difficult for him to violate his will.
This time, if Zhao Zunruo only dealt with a few inconspicuous people, then forget it.
However, Yang Zhen, Song Changming and others were all generals and banner masters with high military ranks. They were not little people with no status. They were as powerful as the Zhao family and could not cover the sky with one hand in the city and execute these people at will.
"Zhao Zun, think about your other heirs and children. You still have them. Don't do stupid things again, otherwise"
Zhao Boqi only said half of his last words, but Zhao Zun already understood what he meant.
Reason gradually returned to Zhao Zun's eyes, he took a deep breath, bowed, and then said: "Lin Xin is the most talented among my children, and he is also the child I have spent the most time cultivating.
But for the sake of the family, I will not mess around again, please rest assured, head of the family."
Zhao Boqi stared at him for a while, then turned around and said.
"It's good if you can figure it out."
At noon the next day, Zhao Zun had already ordered someone to deliver the apology to Yang Zhen and others.
Among them, Song Changming and Xing Tiexin, who were targeted, had the heaviest apology, a full five thousand spiritual coins, plus one hundred middle-grade spiritual crystals.
It can be said to be full of sincerity.
Xing Tiexin was disgusted with the Zhao family's behavior of giving money. He didn't want to accept it at first, but Yang Zhen asked him to accept it and wanted to end the matter completely.
Song Changming, on the other hand, did not have so much psychological burden and was very happy.
This spiritual coin plus spiritual crystals are enough to cover his training needs for another year!
Why don't you use free money and materials?
No matter what happens next, enjoy it first.
After that, Song Changming originally thought that Zhao Zunxin was unwilling to give up, and might even play some tricks to deal with him or Xing Tiexin.
And it turned out that he was overthinking.
The family's binding force on the family's children was still strong enough, and Zhao Zun never appeared in front of Song Changming and others since that day.
And Song Changming also started to get busy.
In addition to his daily practice, he took up his post in the army and officially became the commander-in-chief of the twelfth new regiment of the No. 41 Banner Army.
The first task is to gather the number of one thousand soldiers under his command. He wants to review the selections one by one, recruit recruits who meet his inner standards, and train them.
The standard for recruits in his mind was actually much higher than the standard set by the military.
In other armies, warriors who have achieved good results in the physical training realm can become members of the regular army.
Song Changming's requirement for the regular troops under his command is that they must reach the Qi Refining Realm.
This is considered elite among other troops, but for him it is the minimum threshold that must be reached.
Not only that, he also had requirements for martial arts attainments for his soldiers.
On the one hand, the Qi refining realm also requires learning and mastering at least one martial art to form sufficient combat effectiveness.
To put it simply, he wants all his troops to be elite.
This goal is naturally very difficult.
After all, who doesn’t know that elite soldiers are better and more powerful, but the problem is that the supply of high-quality soldiers is limited.
It is not an easy task to recruit soldiers with excellent qualifications and strength.
Achieving a fully elite army cannot be achieved overnight.
Fortunately, out of Wang Tianshuang's care for the new recruits, the new recruit camps in recent years have given priority to the selection of the two new recruits.
Song Changming is not in a hurry for success. The goal of having all the elite soldiers is to take his time.
Some of them are not strong enough to reach the Qi Refining Realm, but if they have this potential and qualifications, they can accept them first. Over time, he can also cultivate these good seedlings and form combat power.
"Being a general gives you a higher status and power, and also brings you more responsibilities."
Song Changming looked at the first batch of new recruits recruited, and suddenly thought of the days when he had experience in the Patrol Division.
How similar the two are.
It's just that back then, it was more about fighting with others and fighting against the villains in the world.
But now, they are fighting more monsters and fighting on the battlefield.
The sun and the moon alternate, winter passes and summer comes.
The entire Cuibai Road spent a year of recuperation restoring order and rebuilding villages and towns.
Summer cicadas are chirping, the scorching sun is shining brightly, and the red heat evaporates the water vapor on the earth.
June, severe drought.
That night, in the courtyard.
Several glasses of wine were placed in front of the stone table, and Song Changming tasted them one by one.
For the first few cups, he took a sip, and then tasted the next cup after savoring it for a while.
Until the last glass, he took a sip, his eyes lit up, and he drank it all.
"This wine is the best."
Song Changming raised the empty cup in his hand and smiled at Song Ping'an beside him.
"Hahaha, the young master and I have become friends together." Song Ping'an said with a happy smile.
Over the past year or so, he has developed six types of wine based on past experience and new materials from Gu Yuan Kingdom.
He deliberately saved his most confident cup for last. After getting Song Changming's approval, he was very happy.
"Of course, the first five wines are not bad, and we can implement them even if we want to." Song Changming nodded.
He was indeed very satisfied with Song Ping'an's work results over the past year.
"Young master gave me such a large sum of money to let me show my talents. I can't live up to your trust." Song Ping'an chuckled and filled another glass for Song Changming.
The wine that can be delivered to Song Changming is already the result of his selection of the best. He thinks that it has reached the quality that Song Changming wants.
"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news." Song Changming nodded.
After the wine shop was stable and on the right track, Song Ping'an expanded his contacts and channels, and then he could start other businesses and industries to make money, collect materials, and obtain intelligence for Song Changming.
He was very skilled at handling these.
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. As long as they adapt to the general environment of Guyuan Kingdom, some of the basic rules of rivers and lakes will not change too much.
"Sir, I'll leave then." Song Ping'an said with a smile.
"Come back and leave the bottle of wine."
"Okay."
Song Pingan left in a hurry. There were still many things at the winery that needed to be handled by him personally.
"You guys should go to sleep too." Song Changming said to the two children standing side by side not far away.
"Sir, we are not sleepy." Ada said seriously.
The little brother on the side had already blinked his eyelids and was standing swaying, as if he was about to fall asleep.
"It's time for your children to grow. Go quickly." Song Changming waved his hand.
"Yes." Ada no longer insisted, grabbed the little brother's collar and dragged him back to the room.
Song Changming was the only one left in the courtyard, drinking alone in front of the moon.
Oh, no.
At his feet were two giant dogs, as well as a little yellow chicken curiously looking at the wine in the glass on the stone table.
"Want some?" Song Changming looked interested, stretched out two fingers, and pushed the wine glass.
As expected, the little yellow chicken couldn't help being curious, and came closer, and then pecked the wine in the glass.
After a cup of tea.
The little yellow chicken was swaying, making drunken fist gestures on the stone table, and the original bean eyes seemed to have turned into mosquito coils and kept spinning.
"grumble"
Song Changming laughed out loud.
Occasionally teasing the pets at home is one of his daily pleasures.
After a bottle of wine, it was almost midnight.
"It's almost time." Song Changming estimated the time, and as expected, heard a familiar prompt.
Then open the panel and browse the latest information that pops up.
