Chapter 113 Favor
After all the guests left, Liu Dingsheng also left with his granddaughter and his men.
"Sir, what should we do next?" one of Liu Dingsheng's men asked.
Due to the appearance of the Fog Beast, this Willow Mansion has been completely destroyed. They cannot live in it anymore, and rebuilding it cannot be done overnight.
"Go and find another house for me to live in between the Director-General of Public Security and the Sheriff's Mansion." Liu Dingsheng ordered.
"Sir, would you like to find another place to live in seclusion?" Someone else suggested cautiously.
He was worried that after his whereabouts were exposed, other enemies would come to visit him.
This wave of high-quality enemies came to kill them today, which really scared them all.
They originally thought that those potential enemies were nothing, but now they have put away the contempt in their hearts.
"I made my fortune in Donglai County in my early years. Now I have returned to my roots and don't want to go anywhere." Liu Dingsheng said slowly.
"And I have already established contact with the government of Donglai County. If there are still people looking for me, I will take care of them all!"
Seeing Liu Dingsheng say this, it was obvious that he had made up his mind, so everyone under his command stopped talking.
On the other side, on the way back, in the carriage.
"I didn't expect that this carriage would be fine." Zhuang Ren shook his head.
The entire Liuzhai was almost crushed by the group of fog beasts, but the carriage parked on the street was still unharmed.
Song Changming looked at the clothes he was wearing. They were still in good condition when he came here, but now they were almost in rags and couldn't be worn anymore.
The same goes for Zhuang Ren in the carriage. His clothes are also severely damaged, mostly caused by fighting the fog beast.
Fortunately, other than that, neither of them suffered any injuries.
"Changming, how do you plan to use Brother Liu's favor?" Zhuang Ren suddenly asked.
"I haven't thought about it yet." Song Changming shook his head and asked again.
"What suggestions do you have, sir?"
Since Zhuang Ren took the initiative to mention it, he obviously had something to say.
"After today's twists and turns, Brother Liu may not stay in the county for a long time. It is best to use this favor as early as possible to avoid not being able to use it in the future." Zhuang Ren reminded him, speaking very straightforwardly.
"Don't be embarrassed. Some people's favor is worth a thousand pieces of gold, or even a thousand pieces of gold. If you miss it, I feel a little pity for you."
Song Changming nodded after hearing this.
He couldn't help but seriously consider where Liu Dingsheng's favor would be used.
If Liu Dingsheng's favor was really so valuable, to be honest, he would have wanted to come directly to him and exchange it for cash.
After all, he is really short of money now.
A large amount of money is used in all aspects of cultivation to exchange for sufficient cultivation materials.
When the money he has on hand is exhausted and the supply of daily training materials is no longer available, it will inevitably seriously affect the speed of his martial arts training.
But obviously this is not realistic.
If he really does this, Liu Dingsheng will most likely feel that he is humiliating him, and it's hard to say what will happen when he gets angry.
Besides money, Song Changming really didn't want anything in particular.
He couldn't think of anything at the moment, so he looked at Zhuang Ren again.
Zhuang Ren obviously had suggestions that he had not yet expressed, but when Song Changming saw it, he did not hesitate and spoke directly.
"If I say what is the most valuable thing about Brother Liu, in my opinion, it is his more than sixty years of martial arts achievements and richer training experience than most martial artists!
The second is His knowledge and broad understanding of the outside world are also valuable assets that cannot be measured by money!
If you take advantage of this favor and ask for some advice from him, I think you will make a lot of money.”
After Song Changming listened, he was thoughtful and then hesitated a little.
"Your Majesty, you want me to become a disciple of Senior Liu?"
Zhuang Ren shook his head and said: "Brother Liu has taught others, but I have never heard of him taking on any disciples. If you can really worship him as your teacher and get his inheritance and help, it will naturally be a great opportunity for you.
However, I think that such a debt of gratitude alone is not enough to make him give you everything he has. Putting aside the apprenticeship for now, it is enough to get his guidance once. "
"That's it." Song Changming understood what Zhuang Ren meant.
To put it simply, this favor was exchanged for a mentoring opportunity from Liu Dingsheng.
This guidance was not only about cultivation, but also about many other personal confusions. He might also be able to find the answer from Liu Dingsheng, a great senior in the world.
I have to say, this is indeed a good idea.
It will not offend Liu Dingsheng, but it will also benefit him a lot.
"Thank you for your advice, sir." Song Changming thanked him.
"It doesn't matter, I'm just making a small suggestion. It's up to you whether to adopt it or not." Zhuang Ren waved his hand.
After more than a year of working together, he and Song Changming are now very familiar with each other. He admired Song Changming and used and trusted him very much in his daily life, so he had this conversation.
Soon, the carriage returned to the headquarters.
After Zhuang Ren changed into his official uniform, he hurried to the county governor's house and reported today's events to the county governor.
The appearance of people from outside the territory and a large group of mist beasts was enough to attract the attention of all of them, and they did not dare to neglect or relax in handling them.
Song Changming also changed into the official uniform of the patrol chief, and led Liang Zhaolong and other patrol teams to patrol the streets in person.
In the evening, he monitored the interrogation process of the captured prisoner.
Zhuang Ren was also present and personally waiting for the results.
Near midnight, the prison had just opened the mouths of several Liu Dingsheng's enemies and learned something.
The relatively young man who first jumped out to stop Liu Dingsheng from retreating during the day was their leader.
In his early years, the man was a descendant of a powerful family in Hengyang County in the north.
His parents colluded with corrupt officials and preyed on the people. Later, Liu Dingsheng eradicated the evildoers, and all their wealth was returned to the local people by Liu Dingsheng.
This is where the enmity began.
The man knew how to be patient at a young age. When he grew up, he practiced martial arts diligently, recruited people, and searched for Liu Dingsheng's whereabouts all over the world.
After that, the man ventured outside the territory alone with the determination to never return, and worked hard to finally win the support of strong people outside the territory.
Then, when he learned that Liu Dingsheng wanted to wash his hands in a golden basin and retire from the world, he could no longer suppress the flame of revenge in his heart, and this was what happened during the day.
In fact, if he had been calmer, he might have become the hero in the storybook and achieved his ultimate revenge.
But unfortunately, he still underestimated Liu Dingsheng's terrifying strength at such a young age, and ultimately fell short of success and ended up with a tragic end.
According to the results of the interrogation, it can be confirmed that this person indeed only found three people from outside the territory to come to help, that is, the three red-robed men.
Now that all three are dead, this is good news.
At least you don't have to worry about the terrifying incident of a large group of fog beasts suddenly attacking at night in a certain county or city area while sleeping.
God knows if this really happens, how many innocent people will be killed or injured.
"Go back and rest. We'll talk about the rest tomorrow." Zhuang Ren stood up and left the chief's prison.
"Okay." Song Changming yawned slightly tiredly, and then walked away.
After a fierce battle with the mist beasts and the attackers during the day, it was normal for him to feel tired after such exhaustion.
He really needed to go back and take a good rest today.
When he returned to his residence on Jinxiu Street, Song Changming suddenly remembered something.
"It seems that the time has come today"
Then open the panel information to view.
The first piece of information refreshed is the daily evaluation.
[Today’s evaluation: A meaningful day, life span +1, and limited-time status ‘God rewards those who work hard’]
Unfortunately, today, although he faced a large group of invincible and powerful fog beasts, the battle was fierce.
But he did not encounter a frightening crisis surrounded by dangers, so he was not able to obtain the precious state of 'potential stimulation', but only the 'God's reward for hard work' that appeared every day.
He was not surprised by this.
The focus of his attention this time is not the daily evaluation refreshed tonight.
It is the content of the message that will be displayed later.
The last annual evaluation comes every June.
