Chapter 101 Battle under the Six Realms
After fighting dozens of times, Ah Liu felt even more stressed.
He had to admit that Song Changming was better than him in terms of sword skills and light body skills.
So the more he fought, the more he gradually fell behind.
Suddenly, the power of the sword around Song Changming changed, a sinister wind emerged, and hundreds of ghosts came out, making him look like a ghost holding a sickle.
Ah Liu looked stunned. He couldn't keep up with Song Changming's sudden change of sword style, and he almost got his head cut off.
Song Changming was also curious whether the opponent's neck could be trained like a cast iron pillar to block his decapitation with a single blow.
After avoiding it, Ah Liu was in shock, his heart felt chilly, and he was no longer as impatient as before.
"We can't be enemies with them anymore!" Ah Liu flinched after being beaten, grabbed two gang members and threw them towards Song Changming who was pursuing him, and he was about to run away.
However, as soon as he turned around, he saw a black-maned horse raising its hooves towards him.
Immediately there was a general who looked like an iron tower, holding a large spear and halberd, stabbing at him.
The gun comes out like a dragon!
This shot is earth-shattering!
The big leader of the Dinghai Gang didn't even have time to parry, before his abdomen was pierced by the gun and he was lifted up in the air.
"Why are you still trying to steal someone's head?" Song Changming couldn't help but muttered when he saw his opponent being cut off.
He actually recognized the majestic general in front of him. He was the new captain in charge of the army in Donglai County.
Directly asking the captain to lead the army in person showed that the county guard was determined to win the port.
"You!" Ah Liu stared at the person in front of him who had severely injured him.
Chen Yan looked indifferent, and swung the spear again, slamming him to the ground. The spear pinned him firmly, making him unable to move.
The captain's eyes then fell on Song Changming, who was not far away, and he took a second look.
Song Changming's performance just now was enough to attract his attention.
Song Changming was also sizing up the new captain.
He had only briefly met the other party in the county governor's mansion before, but had never seen him take action.
Now that I see him, there is no doubt that this is another incredible martial arts master.
It has to be said that there are no weak military officers produced in this imperial capital.
The captain, as well as the general director Zhuang Ren, have most likely reached the seventh level of body refining!
For this kind of powerful person, it seems that it is not very far away from finally reaching the ninth realm of body refining.
Compared with them, Song Changming seemed much immature.
His martial arts training time is probably not even a fraction of the time of these two people.
After that, there were two big leaders of the Dinghai Gang, and they soon fell to the guns and swords of Zhuang Ren and the new captain. One died and the other was seriously injured.
All the leaders were defeated, and the remaining members of the Dinghaihai Gang completely lost their ability to resist.
All of them were dead and injured. Some knelt down and surrendered, while some tried to escape by jumping into the river.
In the end, out of more than 500 members of the Dinghaihui Gang, only a few escaped and their lives were uncertain. This was basically equivalent to the annihilation of the entire army.
On the other hand, on the patrol and army side, the casualties were not serious.
At least it was within the range that both Zhuang Ren and the captain could accept.
The next step is to clean up the battlefield.
After the corpses were searched, they were thrown directly into the river to feed the fish. The captured gang members would also be groped and their belongings taken away.
These are nothing.
However, later on, the seven gang ships and the large amount of trophies found in the gang stronghold caused Zhuang Ren and the captain to have some disputes and quarrels.
Song Changming was watching not far away, but he could understand.
There were several large boxes of money in total, plus a pile of goods and food that had not yet been disposed of, as well as weapons and equipment.
The total value of these trophies is at least over ten thousand silver!
This is still a rough estimate before the inventory of the pile of goods and the boxes of coins has been completed.
The real value will only be more than Song Changming's estimate!
Theoretically, all these trophies must be turned over to the county governor's office, including those ships, which will also be confiscated.
But in this process, there is still a lot of money to be made.
It was precisely for this reason that neither Zhuang Ren nor the captain was in a hurry to count the trophies and make a list. Instead, they were arguing about who should manage the trophies and transport them back to the county.
There is a lot of interest involved, so neither of the two big guys wants to give up.
Song Changming had been an official in the government for many years, so he was not surprised by such things.
Most people in this world are chasing fame and fortune. No matter how high they are, no matter how strong their martial arts skills are, they will not be exempt from this.
This is true for the chief director and the new captain who came from the imperial capital. The previous Xie Shihuan and Fan Yun were also very different.
There are very few people who are truly virtuous and indifferent to fame and wealth. Song Changming could not see one throughout the year.
Including himself, he is no exception and will also pursue fame and fortune.
Just imagine if this pile of trophies were all his, then not only could he have all he could eat of the century-old wild ginseng, but he would also be able to renew one ginseng every month without any pressure at all. By then, his martial arts strength will surely improve by leaps and bounds, one year after year.
But it's a pity that this is just a fantasy. This pile of goods and money is placed in Dinghai Gang, and is guarded by a bunch of people. Now it has become a trophy, and more people are eyeing a piece of the pie.
At most, he could get some benefits from it and earn a small amount of hard work for killing enemies on missions, but he didn't expect to get more.
On the other side, after a symbolic dispute, Zhuang Ren and the captain each took a step back as expected and jointly took charge of the income.
Let’s all get the oil and water we should have together, so there’s no need to fight over it anymore.
After the negotiation was completed, Zhuang Ren asked his personal guards to start taking inventory of the loot, and the captain also sent someone to supervise to prevent any omissions.
The scene was quite harmonious.
After this battle, the entire port territory here was again under the control of the government.
The patrols and soldiers dispersed to guard various docks. If the Dinghaihai Gang dared to come again, they would receive the news immediately.
Song Changming was temporarily free and had nothing to do, so he visited the fish market.
The melee that broke out early in the morning between the Dinghaihai gang and the government did not affect the subsequent fishing market conditions here.
Many local fishermen are also accustomed to strong winds and waves. After learning that the Dingshui Gang was driven away by the government again, they followed a set of rules set by the government.
If the Dinghai Gang comes back and dominates the port's water transportation, they will follow the rules of the Jianghu Gang again.
This is not a matter of adapting to the situation, it is just their way of survival. Neither party can be offended, and whoever is in power will listen to whoever is in power.
The size of the fishing market in the port is actually not small. It is said to be a fishing market, but it also sells many other strange aquatic products with a wide variety of varieties.
Fish and fresh water are only part of it. There are also many precious plants growing in the sea, and even stone mines.
It has to be said that the treasures in the sea are no less than those on land, or even more.
However, the extent of human exploration of the sea is far less than that of land, so the sea still appears mysterious and dangerous, making further development difficult.
Only occasionally will there be wonders or some rare treasures salvaged from the ocean, which are amazing to see.
In fact, in addition to local fishermen and villagers, there are also many vendors from Dongnae County who come here to buy various needed aquatic products and transport them back to various counties to sell in their stores.
Therefore, in the morning, the fish market was already quite lively, with a large flow of people.
Song Changming was wearing the official uniform of the Chief of Guards, attracting the attention of many people along the way, and they all showed awe on their faces.
Some people would look away from Song Changming in a hurry, for fear of offending the patrol chief and arresting him as a suspect.
This is the deterrent effect of official uniforms on ordinary people, which can also be called power.
Song Changming didn't care about other people's gazes, and his eyes fell on the stalls on both sides.
Some sellers pull the wooden carts themselves and put all their items on the carts for sale.
Some sellers spread their goods directly on the ground and sit there cross-legged, waiting for buyers to come.
Song Changming looked beyond the ordinary fish and shrimp aquatic products. It was a rare trip for him. As the largest port of call in Donglai County, he naturally wanted to see something unusual.
"Hornfish, wow, a silver hornfish actually appeared!"
"Tsk, brother, what a blessing."
"."
Song Changming suddenly heard some lively discussions and followed the sound with his eyes.
I saw a stall in front of me, with many onlookers watching.
Song Changming looked closer and saw that the stall owner was holding a big fish with black scales in both hands.
The big fish is about one meter long, has a broad body, and may weigh more than thirty kilograms.
The most unique thing is that there is a silver sharp point on the top of its head that looks like a drill, and its eyes are also silver.
There is no doubt that this must be a fish species with strange blood, different from ordinary fish.
The stall owner held up the fish, his rough and black face was full of wrinkles, and his smile was like a blooming chrysanthemum.
Undoubtedly, the stall owner was very happy today.
He only needs to sell the fish in his hand, and today's turnover will directly reach the target, and he can also make a small fortune.
How this doesn't make him happy.
"Brother, how much does this silver horn fish weigh?" one person asked.
"Twenty-nine pounds and four taels." The stall owner replied. Although this portion is not too large among angle fish, it can still be sold at a good price.
"I want two hundred copper coins per catty." A vendor directly quoted a price, which was higher than the market price.
The stall owner was immediately moved.
At a price of two hundred coppers per catty, such a silver horn fish could be sold for close to six copper coins, which was definitely a huge profit for him.
You must know that the normal price of beef and mutton on the market is only fifty or sixty copper coins per pound.
In contrast, the reason why the silver horn fish meat can be sold at such a high price is mainly because it has different blood. It is not only delicious, but also a top-quality ingredient on the wine table, and its nutritional content is extremely high.
For warriors, this is a delicious and tonic food and medicine, which is very helpful for body training.
