Although it was only a little bit, this little bit of experience was enough for him to practice the Monkey Skill for a long time.

"Marrow cleansing and body tempering."

In order to confirm the effect, Song Changming stayed and waited for a while.

But unfortunately, after that, the man who gambled on the marrow opened all the shells, and no similar quality chalcedony was opened.

He then changed to another stall that sold white jade shells, and saw that there was a quality chalcedony opened, and he bought it without hesitation.

The chalcedony he got had a little more yellow inside and was clearer and more thorough.

Undoubtedly, the quality was better than the one he just ate, and the price was three silver coins, which was already very expensive.

From the happy face of the customer who opened it, it can be seen that he won the bet.

Song Changming ate it again.

The numbness just now appeared again, more obvious, and lasted for a few seconds before disappearing.

Song Changming kept staring at the martial arts experience value on the panel.

Sure enough, his Monkey Skill almost increased his body refining experience value at the same time, this time by two points.

It's still not much, but this can only mean that the quality of the chalcedony he ate is not good enough.

And there is no sign of increasing experience points for the other body-refining exercises.

So it can be concluded that this chalcedony does have an effect similar to marrow washing.

Although it is not as exaggerated as reborn, it is undoubtedly a great thing for warriors who are in the direction of marrow washing and body refining.

And for Song Changming, it is also an unexpected surprise to have this discovery today.

This kind of good thing that can directly help him increase body refining experience is not common on weekdays!

If I can collect more in the future, combined with the spirit monkey skill, the efficiency of body refining will also rise sharply.

But like wild ginseng, high-quality chalcedony is still a bit expensive, and it is impossible to buy it unscrupulously.

In addition to chalcedony and those aquatic fish with strange blood, some precious plants in the sea are also worth his attention.

Maybe he can find more treasures that directly increase body refining experience.

Another day later, the county governor sent a group of officials from the Canal Transport Department to take control of the port again and set up rules and regulations.

At the same time, in order to guard against the return of the Dinghai Sea Gang, he ordered the elite troops under the command of the captain to be stationed directly at the port and continue to assist the Canal Transport Department.

The patrol team brought by Zhuang Ren could return.

Song Changming returned to the county city on the same day to complete the mission. At the same time, he received a reward of 200 silver coins from Zhuang Ren to encourage him for his outstanding performance in this mission.

In addition to him, every patrol guard who went on a mission also received more or less silver coins, but none of them received as much as Song Changming.

Song Changming also knew where the reward came from, so he didn't ask much.

They all drank soup, and the only ones who really ate meat were their chief director and the captain.

There is money here, just take it.

Later, you can use this money to exchange for some high-quality chalcedony.

After that, the Dinghai Sea Gang seemed to be venting their anger, and they still returned to the port from time to time to cause trouble to the government, and also took action against the official ships passing through the sea and river, which was a headache.

The new county governor kept dispatching troops and fighting with the Jianghu gang until the end of the year, and then they temporarily stopped.

The port problem has not been completely solved. In the final analysis, the new county governor has not yet established a firm foothold since he took office.

Before Xiao Jingchuan left, he almost emptied the development potential of the entire Donglai County in the next few years, which made the county governor seem stretched when dispatching troops and generals, and he was always unable to drive away the Dinghai Sea Gang.

After the New Year, the Dinghai Sea Gang still lingered.

It seemed that the previous quietness was just to go back to celebrate the New Year, and now it started again after the New Year.

Not only that, in addition to the county town, other county towns in Donglai County also experienced some chaos and turmoil from time to time for various reasons, which made people feel overwhelmed.

In fact, it was not only Donglai County that was in turmoil, but other major states and counties were no exception.

It can be said that the entire Dahan Dynasty was in turmoil due to the current situation, and there was chaos everywhere.

But fortunately, the old emperor had not yet passed away. With the power in his hands, he could still shock the six princes under him, so as not to let the overall situation of the world slide into an irreversible situation.

In addition, a message from outside the county was sent back to Donglai County after the New Year, causing quite a stir.

The army led by Xiao Jingchuan was completely defeated!

Several captives were all escorted back to the imperial capital, and as the leader of this rebellion, the former Donglai County Governor Xiao Jingchuan, did not want to be captured after the defeat, and finally chose to commit suicide at the end of his road.

Such an ending is undoubtedly very sad.

Once upon a time, this Xiao family county governor was a figure who could call the wind and rain in Donglai County, comparable to the existence of a local emperor.

Now, in just half a year, he fell down in an instant, and there is no chance of turning over.

And with the defeat of Xiao Jingchuan, the entire Xiao family was basically completely destroyed.

Most of the family members died along with Xiao Jingchuan, and the rest were captured.

Only some female relatives were sent away by Xiao Jingchuan in advance, which gave them a chance to escape.

Of his two sons, the eldest son is still being tortured in the imperial prison, and it is basically difficult for him to survive.

The other Xiao Yanli has been missing for a long time and there is no news.

If the Xiao family still has a chance to revive, it can only be this Xiao Yanli.

And these are no longer important to the entire Donglai County.

The Xiao family has completely become a thing of the past, and no one will mention it again after a few years.

Song Changming was at home, and after learning about this, he was also quite emotional.

He personally had no feelings for the Xiao family. He just felt that this towering building, with its many years of foundation, collapsed and was destroyed in just a moment, which was unexpected.

"I don't know if the fourth lady can accept such an ending," Song Changming said to himself.

The only person he had a relationship with in the Xiao family was Xiao Shuyun.

At the same time, in a certain prefecture in the north.

In a house, the crying of a group of old, weak, women and children lingered.

"Miss." Min'er looked at the delicate figure standing under the jujube tree in front of her, and was quite worried.

"I'm fine." Xiao Shuyun's voice was a little hoarse and trembling, but there was no crying.

Her eyes had already turned red, but she had been forcing herself not to cry like the women in the house.

"When I left Donglai County, I had already imagined countless results and had already prepared myself mentally."

Min'er knew that her young lady was holding on, wanting to bury the pain of losing her father and the sadness of being homeless deep in her heart, and not wanting to show it.

At the moment, there are still many followers around her, all looking at her.

She can't show her weak side casually like she did when she was young.

"Is there still no news about the third brother?"

Xiu'er shook her head and said, "The third young master has not been found yet."

"Well, I know." Xiao Shuyun held the jujube tree beside her, closed her eyes, and just stood quietly in the yard, digesting the emotions in her heart.

"One day, I will be able to stand on my own. Even without the third brother and no one else, I will revive the Xiao family!"

On the other side, on a wide official road, a convoy was moving slowly forward.

Among them, next to one of the carriages, a two-meter-tall burly figure was riding a tall horse and looking forward, with a cold and serious expression.

This person was Lu Zheng, who had left Donglai County, another old friend of Song Changming.

In the carriage, a hand lifted the curtain, and a person's face appeared. It was Gu Wenhui who had moved with his clan members early.

"Xiao Jingchuan is dead." Gu Wenhui said lightly.

"Well, as you said, this has come true." Lu Zheng nodded.

"It's a bit of a pity." Gu Wenhui shook his head.

"The first force to disobey the court was slaughtered so cleanly and neatly. Those who are ready to make a move will probably shrink back and wait and see.

Well, it's nothing more than waiting for a few more years, which will give me more time to prepare."

Seeing him say this, Lu Zheng was silent for a while and suddenly said: "Is the chaos really unstoppable?"

Gu Wenhui looked at Lu Zheng and smiled slightly, "This world is always divided and united, and it goes on and on. There is no reason for it to be prosperous forever. Now it's just following the trend. It's time."

Lu Zheng heard it and didn't say anything more.

Suddenly, a voice came from the front of the carriage.

"My lord, we are about to reach the imperial capital."

Gu Wenhui poked his head out of the carriage and looked at the towering city wall in the distance that seemed to be connected to the horizon. There was a little more excitement in his eyes.

"From now on, my Gu family will take root here again."

Time is like a river, it can only flow away and cannot return.

In a blink of an eye, more than a year has passed.

During this period of more than a year, there have been endless chaos and rumors everywhere.

More and more people have realized that the peaceful days of the past seem to be irreversibly fading away.

No one can tell how long this turmoil will last, and whether the situation in the world will become more severe in the future.

Jinxiu Street, Huamanlou.

"It seems that there are many more Jianghu people in the city recently." Song Changming drank the tea in the bowl and looked at the noise on the street outside the building.

Liang Zhaolong, who was standing aside, heard Song Changming's question and immediately explained: "It is that Liu Dingsheng will retire from the Jianghu in the county city in a few days. It is estimated that many Jianghu people related to him have heard the news recently."

"Liu Dingsheng?" Song Changming was stunned. In order to break through the Bull Demon Kung Fu a while ago, he turned a deaf ear to the outside world and kept practicing hard in seclusion.

Now he finally paid attention to the current news in the city.

"Is it the chivalrous thief who robbed the rich and helped the poor every now and then?"

"Yes, that's him." Liang Zhaolong nodded.

"I heard that he was originally from Donglai County. Now he wants to retire in his old age, so he came back here to retire."

"It's quite ceremonial." Song Changming curled his lips and said, "Is this person wanted by the government? Is there a reward on him?"

"In the early years, there was, but this person is also quite resourceful. A few years ago, the government withdrew his wanted reward. Now he is no longer a wanted criminal." Liang Zhaolong said.

He knew his patrol chief. If Liu Dingsheng still had a reward, his patrol chief might come to him and ask him to retire in the prison.

Song Changming could definitely do such a thing.

"What a pity." After hearing this, Song Changming immediately lost interest in the once famous chivalrous thief.

He was not a man of the world. When he became famous, he was just a kid and knew nothing.

Perhaps only those who chase stars in the underworld would regard him as a role model for our generation.

"Keep an eye on the streets during this period. Most of these underworld people are impulsive. Don't let them disturb the public order in the city." Song Changming finally instructed Liang Zhaolong.

"Understood." Liang Zhaolong nodded.

As he was talking, a patrolman came quickly.

"Boss, something happened in the downtown."

Song Changming and Liang Zhaolong looked at each other, and what he said was true.
