"You really helped me today." Liang Chuanshan said gratefully.

If Song Changming hadn't come today, he would have been in great danger in this turmoil.

And if he died, his wife and children would be in danger. Whenever he thought of this, Liang Chuanshan was afraid.

"It may take some time for the turmoil in the city to subside. Why don't you go to my place to recuperate?" Song Changming suggested to Liang Chuanshan.

"No, I will call Lu Gang and the others. We can always get through this period together." Liang Chuanshan said.

Song Changming didn't force it after hearing this. His Song residence really couldn't accommodate too many people. He just said that if there was any danger in the future, he could contact him at any time.

The two families were actually not far away, so they would not be slow to support each other.

A few days passed like this.

During this period, Liang Chuanshan and Lu Gang and other patrol guards huddled together for warmth, and no one dared to offend them again.

And because of Song Changming's presence in San Hutong, after driving away several waves of blind people, the entire alley was protected, and no one was killed in this turmoil.

At the same time, news of the imperial army finally came.

It is said that the army advanced in three directions and had already penetrated deep into Donglai County. Every county town they passed through surrendered without encountering any resistance.

Therefore, the army quickly arrived at Donglai County City, quelled the chaos in the city, and arrested many evildoers.

Looking at the vast sea of ​​armored soldiers, no one dared to have the courage to make trouble in the city.

Knowing that the county magistrate had fled, the army immediately divided its troops to explore his whereabouts, and it seemed that they did not intend to let Xiao Jingchuan go.

After the court learned that Donglai County had been taken over by the army, it quickly sent a new county magistrate to take office.

The new county magistrate and new officials also allowed the county magistrate's office, which had been paralyzed for more than ten days, to start operating again.

The destroyed order in Donglai County also began to be rebuilt and repaired.

Looking back at the past ten days, the people of the county town were a little dazed, as if they had just crawled out of hell. Now they can see the light of day again, and they don't have to worry every night and have trouble sleeping.

A new director general was also airdropped to the General Security Department where Song Changming worked.

The first thing the director general did after taking office was to take away the resumes of the original officials and patrols under his command and ordered people to investigate carefully.

The expected purge of officials has begun.

This wave of purges is not only to purge the remnants of the original county governor, but also to purge those corrupt officials and some officials with unsatisfactory abilities.

And these vacant positions will be replaced by newcomers under the new county governor.

And Song Changming, as he expected, successfully passed this wave of purges without any surprises.

No one even mentioned the private friendship with Xiao Shuyun.

In addition, his identity background is extremely clean. He was born in a local farmer family and is a model of grassroots rise.

And his past achievements and strength show that he is the elite among the elite, and his ability is beyond doubt.

As for corruption and bribery, Song Changming has no major criminal record.

Although he is not spotless, he has not done anything out of line. Compared with other patrol guards, he is much more obedient.

It is natural that Song Changming passed the test smoothly without any faults.

In fact, because his past resume was too impressive, he was even received by the new director-general for the first time.

Came to an inner courtyard of the general headquarters.

This place used to be where Xie Shihuan often stayed. Occasionally, he would take a rest in this courtyard when he was tired.

Xie Shihuan loves flowers, so the whole inner courtyard is not big, but it is full of various flowers around it. Even in autumn, it is still fragrant and full of spring.

This is not the first time Song Changming has come to this inner courtyard. In the past, he would come here to see Xie Shihuan when he occasionally reported his tasks.

Today, the familiar figure standing in the courtyard with his hands behind his back admiring the flowers is no longer the familiar figure in the past.

"I am Song Changming, your Excellency." After taking two steps into the courtyard, Song Changming bowed and saluted.

"Well, no need to be polite." The new director-general turned around and said.

The new director-general wore armor, a hair crown, a long sword on his waist, a half black beard, narrow eyes, shining, and looked quite capable.

"I have read your past resume and achievements, which are very good, especially since you are still so young. The young are formidable." Zhuang Ren smiled lightly, his tone was quite gentle.

"Your Excellency is too kind." Song Changming replied steadily.

"The report presented to me said that you have already reached the fifth level of body refining, and your strength is second to none among the patrol chiefs of the general office. Is that true or not?" Zhuang Ren asked.

"I do have the fifth level of body refining, but I have never actually competed with other patrol chiefs." Song Changming said seriously.

"Come, fight with me." Zhuang Ren said directly.

He wanted to know the depth of Song Changming's strength, and the simplest and clearest way was to try it himself.

As he spoke, the new director-general had already drawn the sword from his waist.

The blade of this sword was slightly wide and thick, and it did not have the thinness of an ordinary sword blade. It looked extremely tough.

Seeing this, Song Changming knew that it was impossible to refuse, so he simply drew out his dragon-patterned knife.

"Good knife!" Zhuang Ren praised the dragon-patterned knife when he saw it unsheathed, and then said.

"You don't need to be afraid of me, show your full strength, I only have one request, I like the flowers here very much, you must not damage them."

"Yes." Song Changming agreed.

"Come!" Zhuang Ren smiled faintly. He had already felt the sword power that was constantly accumulating and rising from Song Changming.

It was very strong, which made him very satisfied.

The next moment, Song Changming said to be careful, and then exerted force on his feet, and rushed out like an arrow from a bow.

In just two steps, the distance between the two was instantly shortened.

In a breath, the Soul-Breaking Sword was then performed, and the sinister wind wrapped around its blade. It seemed that countless evil spirits emerged from behind Song Changming and on the sword, and rushed towards the opponent in front of him.

For a moment, Zhuang Ren felt that the sky was dark and the earth was dark, as if he fell into an ice cave.

Before the sword arrived, the "power" first pressed people and disturbed people's souls!

Such a wonderful, natural sword, Zhuang Ren had already made a judgment in his heart.

The superior sword skills of the perfect realm!

The strength of the young patrolman in front of him far exceeded his expectations!

"Good boy!" Zhuang Ren's expression was no longer relaxed and indifferent, and the long sword in his hand suddenly handed out.

The sword light was like the sun at dawn, scorching and boiling!

If Song Changming's sword momentum was natural, it was like a large net covering the sky.

The sword of the new director general was like the hottest beam of light from the scorching sun, directly piercing the large net he had woven.

The hundred ghosts melted away, and his sword momentum that rushed to the sky immediately eliminated the influence of Song Changming's sword momentum.

The swords clashed, and a huge force surged from the swords. Zhuang Ren's body shook, but he did not retreat half a step.

"The strength is amazing, much stronger than ordinary warriors in the fifth level of bone forging!"

Seeing that the new director general was not suppressed by his strength, Song Changming also completely let go, and his outstanding sword skills poured out.

The two sides exchanged dozens of moves in a flash.

No matter how Song Changming speeded up and exerted his strength, the opponent could always match his sword strength.

In terms of strength, he might be stronger, but he could only be considered slightly better.

In terms of speed, the opponent matched his offensive rhythm and was obviously more comfortable.

It can be seen that the strength of this new general is unfathomable.

Song Changming estimated that this person was at least above the sixth level of physical cultivation, and may even have reached the seventh level!

And his sword skills are also at the pinnacle!

"So strong!" Song Changming thought to himself.

At this moment, Zhuang Ren suddenly sped up again, and the long sword in his hand instantly transformed into nine sword shadows, pointing at Song Changming.

Song Changming couldn't dodge in time, and subconsciously performed the flying sword style, which was faster and more agile.

"Huh!" Zhuang Ren felt the completely different sword momentum on Song Changming's sword.

The long sword cut out a wave of air, making a sound like the cry of hundreds of birds and wind chimes.

The way of sword movement was completely different from just now.

"This is another set of sword skills! Although it is not perfect, the sword power is already extremely strong!"

These thoughts flashed through Zhuang Ren's mind, and all changes happened in an instant.

The swords and sabers collided in the air in short bursts, so fast that they were almost invisible to the naked eye.

Only the light and shadows flickered and intertwined!

Finally, Song Changming took a step back, took a breath, and bowed his hands and said, "Your Excellency is a master in martial arts, and I am willing to admit defeat."

It seemed that he had blocked the opponent's nine swords just now, and he seemed to be not at a disadvantage.

But he knew that this was the last time the opponent let go and did not go all out, otherwise, he would have had at least three more sword holes on his body just now.

This military officer who was airborne from the imperial court was indeed extraordinary.

It was not shameful to admit defeat.

"When I was your age, I didn't have such skills as you. I just relied on practicing martial arts for twenty more years." Zhuang Ren shook his head and put away the sword.

Today, the strength shown by Song Changming really gave him a great surprise.

This is definitely a capable general.

"With your bravery, why didn't the governor of Donglai take you away?" Zhuang Ren asked.

If he was the governor, he would have to subdue Song Changming before escaping.

"After so many years in Donglai County, I can't think of a reason to leave." Song Changming said bluntly.

It's not that the governor of Donglai County didn't take him away, but he wanted to stay and not associate with them.

Zhuang Ren patted Song Changming on the shoulder and nodded, "It's a wise choice to stay. The governor of the Xiao family is finished. No matter how chaotic the court is, he is not a small governor of a state or county. "

"Work hard under my hands in the future. If there is a chance, I will take you to the imperial capital!"
