Eternal Life: I'm Grinding Experience in the Patrol Division

The only thing he felt a little bit sorry about was that there were still many materials for moves that he thought were exquisite, but due to differences or conflicts in style, concept, attributes, compatibility, etc., they could not be integrated into his existing martial arts, so he had to abandon them all.

Even if there was another opportunity to "stimulate potential" next time, these materials for moves that felt extremely good would inevitably be difficult to restore as time passed.

But everything is like this, it is difficult to have a perfect result, and it is normal to have some regrets and pity.

"This time, the body training is dragging down again." Song Changming said to himself helplessly after reviewing the results.

The Soul-Breaking Sword that became a high-level sword skill was still okay, but the enhanced Flying Swallow Style and Light Body Skills required much higher physical strength.

With his current fourth-level body training of forging bones, it is difficult to maximize the power of these two super-level martial arts.

He had no other way to deal with this, and even potential stimulation could not instantly strengthen the strength of the body.

The only way to refine the body is to accumulate and polish year after year, and there is no shortcut.

While Song Changming was training hard at home, the county city was in chaos, and many people were frightened by the mighty bandit army.

The county governor's office finally stopped tolerating 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!

In addition to the 10,000 county soldiers, the county governor's private soldiers were also brought out openly, and the number was unknown.

Just looking at the huge battle, the square formation formed by the private soldiers was larger than the 10,000 county soldiers.

This was also a counterattack from the county governor, and it was a direct and heavy blow, not wanting to give the bandit army any chance to survive.

The war horses outside the city were in chaos and galloped out.

The infantry, baggage carriages and horses followed closely behind.

Although Tengya Mountain is not far away, it is impossible to wipe it out in one day, so military rations must be prepared and sufficient, which is an important source of military morale.

Sending troops to suppress bandits is still not related to Song Changming.

After resting for two days, he returned to the General Security Department and led a team to assist local urban areas to quell some local unrest and check for spies in the city who may be left by the bandit army.

This is also what the General Security Patrol Team has been busy with these days.

Song Changming thought that this anti-bandit war would not last long. After all, the battle line was not extended, the two places were not far apart, and the county governor had dispatched a lot of troops. It is very likely that the bandit army can be directly defeated in a head-on confrontation.

However.

The county governor's tens of thousands of troops attacked for a whole month, but in the end they still did not really suppress the bandit army.

The bandits fled to the mountains and were more cunning than expected. Even though the county soldiers had an absolute advantage in numbers, they only destroyed a few mountain strongholds and captured hundreds of bandit members. The results of the battle were slow to expand.

They just wanted to fight the other side head-on, but the other side kept avoiding fighting, which became a problem.

The county soldiers could only search for the enemy in the mountains and plains in the fog and thorns on the ground.

It was not until three months later that the county governor'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 three dragons of Dongcang.

Although this result did not satisfy the county governor too much, it was barely acceptable.

At least, the threat from the bandit army was gone.

If the bandit army wants to make a comeback in the future, it has been confirmed that the forces behind it are different, and the county governor will definitely not let them go again.

Later, the imperial edict came that Li Zhe, a former second-rank official, was framed by a villain, and the evidence was conclusive. He was specially allowed to return to his post and report to the capital that day.

"I am sorry for disturbing you these days and causing a lot of trouble to County Magistrate Xiao." Outside the County Magistrate's Mansion, next to the prepared carriage, Li Zhe bowed to Xiao Jingchuan.

His face was full of smiles. For him, being reinstated was still a big event worth celebrating.

It indicated that the days when he came here to avoid disasters were completely over.

"Lord Li, it is too polite to say this. Regardless of whether that person has specially entrusted this County Magistrate, this County Magistrate will not see the loyal and good people suffer injustice and die without helping them!" Xiao Jingchuan said righteously.

"It's a pity that after this farewell, I don't know when I can drink and talk with the County Magistrate again in the future." Li Zhe sighed.

"When the big thing is done, there will be plenty of opportunities." Xiao Jingchuan smiled meaningfully.

"That's right." Li Zhe followed and laughed.

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

The convoy left the city and headed for the capital where the court was located.

Not long after that, the county governor's eldest son Xiao Hongyang also received an imperial edict and returned 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 also an official in the capital, so his starting point was not low.

In this way, the Xiao family was not only the king in Donglai County, but also had people from his Xiao family in the court.

The power of the Xiao family became more and more important, and more and more glorious.

Time flew by, and another two years had passed.

In the past two years, Donglai County had good weather and good harvests, and everything went smoothly, without major natural disasters or man-made disasters.

The popularity of the Xiao family and the county governor Xiao Jingchuan also reached its peak.

The Xiao family had guests all day long, and the school was prosperous.

The Changhe River is a branch of the Luolong River outside the city, which almost runs through the entire Donglai County City. It is so long that it is called the Changhe River.

That night, the Changhe Lantern Festival on the painted boat was held as scheduled.

The brightly lit boat team slowly paraded in the river, and would stop for a while at each docking point for people to enter and exit.

Some people who wanted to join in the fun would put the water lanterns and flower lanterns in the river and let them float along the water, like glowing lotus flowers, which was very beautiful.

"Miss, why are you wearing this outfit again? If you go back and get caught by the master, you'll have to complain." Min'er looked at her own young lady walking in front, dressed like a young man, and couldn't help muttering.

Now Xiao Shuyun is over 20 years old. Because she has been very successful in raising people's reputation in recent years, there have been many rumors about the deeds of the fourth young lady of the Xiao family in the city.

Her father, the county governor, also recognized her ability and allowed her to walk around occasionally, do some serious work, and see the world, instead of sneaking out like she did when she was a child.

"If you wear girl's clothes, you can only sit in a sedan chair or carriage, how can you be as free as this one." Xiao Shuyun smiled and turned her head to look at the people next to her.

"Right, Song Weichang."

Song Changming smiled slightly, "Miss Four is so interested, just pay attention to safety."

Today he wore a long robe with tight sleeves, his hair was tied up on top of his head, and he wore a jade hairpin.

Now he is twenty-four years old, his appearance is more outstanding, less youthful and heroic, more mature and stable.

Although he is a warrior, he rarely looks fierce like a warrior on weekdays, but more gentle like jade, elegant and not rough.

Walking on the street, he is also quite eye-catching.

"With Song Weichang by my side, I feel at ease." Xiao Shuyun said with a smile.

Although she is dressed as a young man, the delicateness of a woman on her face is hard to conceal. If you look closer, it is still easy to see that she is a woman.

Xiao Shuyun waved her folding fan all the way, swaggering along the river, looking at the beautiful scenery in the river, feeling the hustle and bustle of the street, and seemed to be quite happy.

The fleet of pleasure boats came from afar, accompanied by the melodious music of piano and flute, which spread along the river bank.

"Let's go to meet this pleasure boat tonight." Xiao Shuyun suddenly pointed at the fleet that was about to dock and said.

"Ah, Miss, no, this pleasure boat" Min'er stopped her in a panic.

"Min'er, if you want to call me Master, I am a Master now, why can't I go?" Xiao Shuyun said with a smile.

She just wanted to satisfy her curiosity today and see what the scene in this pleasure boat was like.

Min'er immediately looked at Song Changming for help, but Song Changming was of course helpless.

As long as there was no danger, he usually would not interfere with the decision of the fourth lady of the Xiao family.

And Xiu'er, who was usually serious, was similar to Song Changming. She was only responsible for the safety of her own lady, and everything else was up to the fourth lady.

So, a group of three women and one man entered the largest and most luxurious pleasure boat.

In just a moment, the fourth young lady ran away with a red face, and her body also had a little more fragrance of rouge and powder.

She thought it was exciting in the painted boat, but she didn't expect it to be so exciting, which made her, a virgin, really unbearable.

"That, um, interesting" The fourth young lady patted the little powder on her body with a little embarrassment, glanced at Min'er who was still laughing, and could only continue to move forward as if no one was around.

The full moon was hanging high, and the stars were shining. In fact, the night view of the long river tonight was quite good, so many people participated in the lantern festival.

From time to time, you can see groups of scholars and young men, reciting poems and drinking on the shore.

The listeners around cheered from time to time.

The fourth young lady was not very interested in poetry. She had too many of these things at home, and she couldn't finish reading the poetry collection in a few years.

She was more interested in things that were not available in the mansion.

Suddenly, Song Changming took a quick step and stood in front of Xiao Shuyun to stop her.

"Captain Song?"

Before Xiao Shuyun could ask, two groups of people suddenly clashed and started fighting not far away.

The swords clashed, and there was murderous intent everywhere.

Obviously, this was not a simple conflict, but a premeditated ambush in the martial arts world.

The passers-by around saw it and fled in panic, not daring to stay here for a moment, for fear of being implicated.
