Chapter 85 Two Years
The only thing that feels a little pity is that there are still many move materials that he thinks are exquisite, but due to differences or conflicts in styles, concepts, attributes, compatibility, etc., they cannot be integrated into his existing He wanted to learn martial arts, so he had to give up everything.
Even if there is another opportunity to 'stimulate potential' next time, these moving materials that feel so good will inevitably be difficult to restore as time goes by.
But everything is like this, and it is difficult to have a perfect result. A little regret and pity are the norm.
"Now it's the body training that's holding us back again." Song Changming said to himself helplessly after reviewing the results.
The Soul-Severing Sword, which has become a high-level sword skill, is relatively easy to say, but the enhanced Feiyan Style and Light Body Skill require much higher physical strength.
His current level of body training in the Fourth Realm of Bone Forging makes it difficult to maximize the power of these two super-level martial arts.
He had no other option for this, even stimulating his potential could not instantly strengthen his physical body.
Physical training can only be achieved through accumulation and polishing year after year, and there are no shortcuts.
While Song Changming was training hard at home, the county and city were always in chaos, and many people were frightened by the massive bandit army.
The county magistrate's office finally no longer tolerated it and officially passed the resolution.
Immediately send troops to attack Tengya Mountain and encircle and suppress this bandit army! Capture the Three Dragons of Dongcang!
As for the troops dispatched this time, in addition to the 10,000 official county soldiers, a large number of private soldiers from the county guard were also generously moved out. The number is unknown.
Just looking at the Wuyangyang formation, the square formation formed by the private soldiers was larger than the tens of thousands of county soldiers.
This was also a counterattack from the county guard, and it was a direct punch, not wanting to give the bandits any way to survive.
Outside the city, war horses galloped out in chaos.
Infantry, baggage, chariots and horses followed closely behind.
Although Teng Crow Mountain is not far away, it is impossible to wipe it out in one day. Therefore, military rations must be prepared and sufficient. This is an important source of army morale.
Sending troops to suppress bandits still had little to do with Song Changming.
After two days of rest, he returned to the General Department of Public Security and led a team to assist local urban areas, quell some local unrest, and investigate the informants in the city who may have been left behind by the bandits.
This is what the Souji patrol team has been busy with these days.
Song Changming originally thought that this battle to suppress the bandits would not last long. After all, the battle line was not stretched, the two places were not far apart, and the county guards sent out quite a lot of troops. It was very likely that they could be defeated in a head-on confrontation. The bandit army was directly defeated.
However.
The county guard's tens of thousands of troops attacked for a whole month, but in the end they still couldn't really wipe out the bandit army.
The bandit army fled to the mountains and was more cunning than imagined. Even if the county soldiers had an absolute numerical advantage, they only destroyed a few mountain fortresses and captured hundreds of bandit members. The results were difficult to expand.
They just want to fight each other head-on, but the other side has always avoided fighting, which has become a problem.
The county soldiers could only cover the mountains and fields, braving the heavy fog and thorns on the ground to search for the enemy.
It was not until three months later that the county guard's army returned to the city.
During this period, they killed more than 3,000 bandits in total, and the rest all fled and left Donglai County with the Dongcang Three Dragons.
Although this result did not satisfy the county governor, it was still acceptable.
At least, the threat from the bandit army is gone.
If the bandit army wants to make a comeback in the future, it has been confirmed that the forces behind it are from different camps, and the county guard will definitely not let them go again.
Later, an imperial edict came from the imperial court. Li Zhe, a former second-rank official, was framed by a traitor. The evidence was conclusive. The charter officer was reinstated and returned to the capital on the same day.
"I've been bothering you these days, and I've caused a lot of trouble to Sheriff Xiao." Outside the Sheriff's Mansion, beside the prepared carriage, Li Zhe said to Xiao Jingchuan.
There was a smile on his face, and his restoration to his official post was still a major event worthy of celebration.
It heralded that the days when he came here to hide from disasters were completely over.
"Master Li is out of touch when he says something like this. Regardless of whether that person has specifically entrusted me with the governor's request, I will never see Zhongliang being wronged and refusing to save him!" Xiao Jingchuan said righteously.
"It's a pity that we have to say goodbye now. I don't know when I can have a drink with the county governor again." Li Zhe sighed.
"When big things are done, there will be plenty of opportunities." Xiao Jingchuan smiled pointedly.
"That's true." Li Zhe laughed.
"Farewell."
"Farewell."
The convoy left the city and headed towards the capital where the court was located.
Not long after that, Xiao Hongyang, the eldest son of the county guard, also received an order to return to the capital to serve as an official.
Also going to the capital was the third son of the Xiao family, who finally became an official and was also an official in the capital. His starting point was not a low one.
In this way, the Xiao family is not only king and hegemon in Donglai County, there are also members of the Xiao family in that court.
The Xiao family has become more and more powerful and prestigious.
Time flies, and another two years have passed. In the past two years, Donglai County has had good weather, everything has gone as planned, and there have been no major natural or man-made disasters.
The popularity of the Xiao family and the county governor Xiao Jingchuan has also risen to the top.
The Xiao family has an endless stream of customers all day long, and the sect is prosperous.
The Changhe River is a branch river branched from the Luolongjiang River outside the city. It runs almost through the entire Donglai County. The long river is called the Changhe River.
That night, the Huafang River Lantern Festival was held as scheduled.
The brightly lit boat procession parades slowly in the river, stopping for a moment at each docking point for people to enter and exit.
Some people who join in the fun will put the water lanterns and lanterns in the river and let them float along the water, like shining lotus flowers, which is very beautiful.
"Miss, why did you go out wearing this outfit again? It's time to say something when you were discovered by the master when you got back." Min'er looked at her young lady walking in front, dressed like a young man, and couldn't help but muttered.
Xiao Shuyun is now over 20 years old. Since she has been very successful in raising people in recent years, there are already many rumors about the deeds of the fourth young lady of the Xiao family in the city.
Her father, the county guard, also recognized her abilities and allowed her to occasionally go out to do some serious business and see the world, instead of just sneaking out like she did when she was a child.
"Wearing girl's clothes, you can only sit in a sedan and carriage. How can you be so comfortable?" Xiao Shuyun smiled and turned to look at the people beside her.
"Yes, Chief Song."
Song Changming smiled slightly, "Fourth Miss is so interested, just pay attention to safety."
Today he was wearing a sleeveless robe, his hair was tied up on top of his head, and he wore a jade hairpin crown.
Now in his twenties, his appearance is more outstanding, less heroic and more mature and stable.
Although he is a warrior, he rarely has the fierce look of a warrior on weekdays. He is more gentle and jade-like, refined and not rude.
Walking on the street, it is also quite eye-catching.
"With Chief Song Wei beside me, I feel at ease." Xiao Shuyun said with a smile.
Although she is dressed as a young master, the feminine charm on her face is difficult to conceal. If you look closer, you can easily see through her daughter's body.
Xiao Shuyun waved her folding fan all the way and walked struttingly along the long river, looking at the beautiful scenery in the river and feeling the hustle and bustle of the market, she seemed quite happy.
The fleet of painted boats came from afar, and there was also the sound of piano and flute, which was melodious and beautiful, spreading along the river bank.
"Let's go and meet this boat tonight." Xiao Shuyun suddenly pointed at the fleet that was about to dock and said.
"Ah, miss, no, this is in the boat," Min'er stopped her in a panic.
"Min'er, if you want to call me Young Master, I'm Young Master now, so there's nothing I can do about it." Xiao Shuyun said with a smile.
Today she wanted to satisfy her curiosity and see what the scene was like in the boat.
Min'er immediately looked to Song Changming on the side for help, but Song Changming was of course helpless.
As long as there is no danger, he usually will not interfere with the decision of the fourth young lady of the Xiao family.
Xiu'er, who was usually stern and unsmiling, was similar to Song Changming. He was only responsible for the safety of his own young lady and listened to the Fourth Young Lady in everything else.
So, a group of three women and one man entered the largest and most extravagant boat.
In just a moment, the fourth lady ran away with a blushing face, and her body also smelled of rouge and gouache.
She thought it would be exciting in the boat, but she didn't expect it to be so exciting. A young girl like her couldn't stand it.
"That, um, interesting." The fourth lady patted the powder on her body with a slight embarrassment, glanced at Min'er who was still snickering, and could only continue walking forward as if no one else was around.
The full moon is high and the stars are shining brightly. In fact, the night view of the river is quite good tonight, so there are many people participating in the lantern festival.
From time to time, we can still see batches of scholars and young men reciting poems and chatting on the shore, drinking and talking happily.
Listeners nearby cheered from time to time.
The fourth lady is not very interested in poetry. She has too many of them at home, and she can’t finish them all in a few years.
She is more interested in things that are not in the house.
Suddenly, Song Changming took a quick step and stood in front of Xiao Shuyun, stopping him.
"Chief Song?"
Before Xiao Shuyun could ask questions, two groups of people suddenly clashed not far away and started fighting.
Swords clashed, murderous intent abounded.
Obviously, this is not a simple conflict, but a premeditated ambush in the world.
The passers-by around him ran away in panic when they saw it, not daring to stay here for a while for fear of being harmed.
