Chapter 140 Military Bandits
He took a deep breath and looked in the direction where the spear had just been shot from outside the courtyard.
He happened to meet Song Changming's murderous gaze, which inexplicably frightened him.
It was as if his mind was shaken when facing thousands of troops on the battlefield. It can be seen how strong the oppression Song Changming brought to him at this moment was.
Song Changming got off the horse, said nothing, took a step, and burst out at a sudden speed, rolling up a gust of wind, and directly knocked over a group of armored soldiers who were blocking the road with his body.
"You!" Before Zhou Ao could speak, Song Changming had already stepped on a saber on the ground with his foot and raised his hand to swing it again.
The long sword broke through the air again, and when Zhou Ao reacted and wanted to dodge, the saber had already pierced through the back of his hand holding the sword and was firmly nailed into the pillar of the courtyard.
Zhou Ao was pulled back in pain.
Looking at his pierced palm, Zhou Ao was sweating profusely.
He never thought that he would be so seriously injured today just because he was responsible for conscription and grain collection among civilians.
If he didn't handle it well, his right hand would be directly disabled.
This was undoubtedly a painful blow to his martial arts practice.
He wanted to pull out the knife to get away, but soon, two more knives flew over, one of which pinned his other hand that was about to pull out the knife, and the other pinned one of his thighs.
Zhou Ao didn't dare to move anymore.
Song Changming's flying knife skills really shocked him.
Dabai, who was standing next to him, limped over, whimpered at Song Changming a few times, walked to Dahuang lying on the ground, and licked the blood on his wound.
After a quick glance, confirming that Song's father, Song's mother, and Song were safe, Song Changming immediately approached and checked the injuries of the two big dogs.
Dabai's injuries were not too serious, but Dahuang's were more seriously injured, especially in the neck, which made the dog unable to move, but fortunately it was not a fatal injury.
It must be said that the two dogs are really tough.
Being hacked like this by a warrior of the sixth realm, he was still able to survive. This was a blessing!
"Ping An, take Da Huang and Da Bai into the house for treatment, and take two three-striped green water silkworms to take them." Song Changming ordered.
"Okay!" Song Ping An came over immediately and took the two big dogs away.
Song Ping An knew medical skills.
In order for him to take better care of the two elders, Song Changming asked Song Ping An to study medicine in the city's Chinese medicine clinic two years ago.
This can be regarded as a skill that Song Ping An has learned.
Now, regardless of how advanced the medical skills are, the basic treatment and the ability to identify injuries and internal problems are still there.
"General!" At this time, more soldiers who came to see Zhou Ao nailed to the pillar were shocked.
For a while, they did not dare to step forward to rescue him.
Zhou Ao originally wanted to subconsciously scold and force Song Changming to let him go, but when he saw Song Changming pick up a saber on the ground again.
As soon as his words came to his lips, he was swallowed back.
"This, this young man, I am also following the orders of the superiors, and I did not intend to offend you."
In the face of life and death, Zhou Ao finally failed to withstand the test, put down his dignity and toughness as a general, and chose to compromise with Song Changming.
Song Changming said nothing, just looked at him quietly.
He was weighing whether he could take his two elders out of the city as soon as possible after killing these soldiers.
"Changming!"
At this time, Lu Zheng also came quickly with a group of armored soldiers.
Scanning the situation in the field, seeing that Zhou Ao had not been killed, he was slightly relieved and let his men control the situation. He approached Song Changming and whispered.
"If it was an ordinary armored soldier, it would be fine, but this man is a famous general, and he can't be killed, at least not now."
"Brother Lu, you know my temper." Song Changming said calmly.
Lu Zheng nodded. Having worked together for many years, he naturally knew that Song Changming always followed the style of cutting the grass and rooting out the enemies to eliminate future troubles.
But at this critical moment, he did not let Song Changming kill, firstly for Song Changming's safety.
Secondly, it was to avoid alerting the enemy by the death of a general. If the young prince was alerted, the difficulty of this assassination would increase.
Lu Zheng pulled Song Changming aside. As for Zhou Ao, who was still nailed to the pillar, he turned a blind eye and let him continue to bleed. Anyway, it was okay as long as he didn't die for the time being.
"After the young prince is dealt with, these remnants and useless Jianghu trash, even if you don't kill them, we will clean them up.
At that time, I can make the decision to present this person's head, or let you deal with it at will, so as to avoid unnecessary twists and turns later, how about it?"
Lu Zheng persuaded Song Changming in a good way.
He was also worried about irritating Song Changming. If he had to kill Zhou Ao today, no one present would be able to stop Song Changming, who had already reached the eighth level of cultivation.
"What if the military has troubled me during this period of time?" Song Changming was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked.
Lu Zheng was relieved when he heard it.
This question showed that Song Changming was persuaded by him.
"Don't worry, as long as this general is not dead, the others are minor problems. I will handle them for you and ensure that no one from the military will come to you again!"
Lu Zheng glanced coldly at Zhou Ao and the group of soldiers under him, and promised.
He followed Gu Wenhui and mixed in the central group under the Fifth Prince. It was not difficult for him to deal with this matter.
"Okay." Song Changming agreed.
In this way, today, this group of soldiers was temporarily let go.
Looking at Zhou Ao who was rescued by pulling out the knife, Song Changming suddenly said: "Brother Lu, count me in for what you said before."
Lu Zheng was shocked, then nodded and said, "I will contact you then and inform you of the specific action arrangements."
"Yes." Song Changming looked calm as usual.
He has had enough of the young prince's misbehavior in Donglai County.
He also understood more and more why people in the world like Liu Dingsheng always wanted to rob the rich, give to the poor, and eradicate evil.
There are indeed too many treacherous and evil people in this world who are hated by others. Once these people gain power, they will cause trouble and create a mess.
However, the government laws could not deal with them, so there were many chivalrous stories, which were talked about and praised by people.
Now, he had to admit that he really wanted to kill the young prince with a knife and liberate the common people who were escorted away.
Lu Zheng finally reminded with some worry: "Chang Ming, remember to act according to your ability when the time comes, and don't underestimate the guards placed around the young prince. There are many extreme warriors among them!"
"Well, thank you for reminding me." Song Changming thanked him.
Soon, Lu Zheng left with a group of soldiers.
During this period, Liang Chuanshan also hurried over with his patrolmen, and after confirming that Song Changming's family was fine, he left with peace of mind.
He and the other directors of the Patrol Division were quite angry and dissatisfied with this behavior in the army.
This was originally their authority, but now the army sent people to directly bypass their patrol department and forcefully recruit soldiers and food in major urban areas, disrupting order.
This is tantamount to power overstepping the bounds. They, the department chiefs, and even the patrols below have been dissatisfied with these people in the army for a long time.
Song Changming had a violent fight. After hearing this, all the patrolmen felt a breath of bad breath and felt a little relieved.
As for Song Changming, although he has not been a patrolman for many years, there are still many legends about him in the Patrol Division.
Especially the young patrolmen regard Song Changming as a role model and the direction for their efforts.
Starting from a small night watchman in the city, he has been promoted almost every year since then, and has reached the position of Chief of Patrol and Deputy Chief of the General Department!
Such deeds, whenever mentioned, are extremely inspiring examples.
In the room, Song Ping'an applied medicine to the two dogs, especially Dahuang's neck, which was wrapped with thick bandages several times.
The two dogs immediately fell asleep in Song Changming's room.
Today, thanks to them, the Song family was not looted and smashed by those soldiers.
As the dogs who look after the home, they have done the best they can, making Song Changming feel that every bite of meat he feeds is in vain.
"It's been a hard day, take more rest and recover soon."
Song Changming touched the heads of the two big dogs and murmured.
The next day, the army's soldiers were still wreaking havoc throughout the city, plundering the people's supplies and filling the gap in the army's supplies.
And just as Lu Zheng said, although there was a commotion in the city, those army soldiers did not come to the door again, and they did not even appear in San Hutong.
In the courtyard, Song Pingan repaired the door of the residence and tidied up the yard again.
After all traces of blood were removed, the yard finally returned to its original appearance.
Fortunately, Song's father's green water silkworms are now kept in water tanks in several side rooms, so they survived.
After a day's rest, the two big dogs regained some of their energy. They basked in the sun in the courtyard and played around like normal dogs from time to time.
It must be said that these two dogs have strong vitality and strong recovery ability.
Dahuang's injury was as serious as yesterday. He was still dying yesterday, lying there drooling. Today, he has recovered, and in a few days, he will be full of life again.
This also made Song Changming completely relieved, his dog was fine.
A few days later, Song Changming did not leave Song's house and practiced martial arts at home all day long.
Just when Song Changming had many speculations, he finally received news from Lu Zheng.
This round is about to begin!
