Chapter 120 Five Kings in Trouble

After drinking a few bottles of wine, the three of them returned with great pleasure.

Song Changming had a day off today and went straight back to the Song residence on Houli Street.

Since the security in the city has declined, he has moved back to the Song residence to live.

It is convenient to take care of the two elders, so that no one can make trouble one day.

Today, before entering the door, I heard the chattering voice of Song's father in the yard, which seemed to be quite angry.

"Dad, what's wrong?" Song Changming pushed the door and asked.

"Ping'an, tell me." Song's father drank a sip of tea and felt better.

Song Ping'an on the side talked to Song Changming.

It turned out that today, he and Song's father went to the market to sell this month's share of blue water silkworms.

Who knew that they met a group of people in the underworld. When they saw their blue water silkworms, they wanted to force them to buy and sell, and even wanted to fight.

Fortunately, Song Ping'an moved Song Changming out in time.

The identity of the chief patrol officer of the General Administration and the name of "Dragon Blade" that was widely circulated in the martial arts world played a role, which scared away the group of martial arts people.

"Well done." After hearing this, Song Changming patted Song Ping'an on the shoulder and praised him.

If it weren't for this kid's cleverness, Song's father and him would not only be robbed of the blue water silkworm at the market today, but they would also most likely be beaten up.

"Dad, don't be angry. I'll have someone check it out tomorrow and catch those people." Song Changming comforted.

"Forget it, forget it. Now there is chaos outside. It's better to have less trouble than more. They didn't do anything to me. I'm not angry." Song's father waved his hand.

Song Changming smiled and said nothing more.

But he had made up his mind that the gang of martial arts bullies would not be able to escape. If they offended him, they would stay in jail.

In this regard, he has never been a generous person.

Whoever offends him or someone he cares about will always pay the price.

"Dad, if you want to sell the green water silkworm in the future, let me know so that I can send a patrolman to help." Song Changming said.

With patrolmen, especially the general patrolmen, protecting them all the way, I believe that most people would not dare to have any bad thoughts.

After comforting Song's father, Song Changming looked at Song Ping'an who was standing beside him.

Song Ping'an is now almost sixteen years old. Due to years of self-training, his body is very strong, his blood is also very full, and he is only half a head shorter than Song Changming.

Compared with the thinness when he first entered the Song residence, he is like a different person.

"Have you improved your sword skills recently?" Song Changming asked.

He started teaching Song Ping'an to practice swordsmanship as early as last year, and it has been more than a year now.

During this period, he basically gave some pointers when he returned to the Song residence and had free time, and he taught quite attentively.

Song Ping'an also practiced very hard, and he didn't need Song Changming to supervise him at all. Apart from eating, resting and working every day, he only practiced martial arts.

This level of hard work even surpassed Song Changming's own daily practice, so that he had nothing to say in this regard.

"I have made some progress, but I still haven't practiced the sword moves that Brother Song said. I am too stupid," Song Ping'an said in distress.

He practiced the low-level version of the Soul-Breaking Sword that Song Changming first practiced, which is easier for people who are new to martial arts.

Now Song Ping'an has practiced this low-level Soul-Breaking Sword to the mastery level and is striving towards the minor success level.

This progress is quite satisfactory in Song Changming's eyes, not amazing.

After all, this is the result of his repeated guidance as a master of the Soul-Breaking Sword. Without his guidance, Song Ping'an's sword practice performance would only be worse.

Through this period of observation, Song Changming can basically conclude that Song Ping'an's martial arts qualifications can only be regarded as relatively good among ordinary people, and he is above average, far from being a genius.

This is somewhat regrettable, but it is normal to think about it.

Martial arts geniuses are so rare that Song Changming can never catch one.

Song Changming himself did not have high hopes for Song Ping'an. He let him practice martial arts, and only hoped that he could have a certain combat power, and could defend some blind thieves at home, solve some small troubles, and protect the two elders.

"It's okay, practice slowly, and keep a calm mind. The more impatient you are, the more difficult it is to catch the flash of inspiration." Song Changming smiled.

His teaching method is more easy-going, mainly encouraging, and he is not a strict teacher.

It is mainly because of Song Ping'an's personality, and he does not need to deliberately knock.

Just practice slowly.

"Okay, Brother Song!" Song Ping'an secretly glanced at him, and saw that he did not disappoint Song Changming, so he was slightly relieved.

"I must work harder in the future! Don't let Brother Song down!" Song Ping'an clenched his fists in his sleeves and encouraged himself secretly.

The next day, Song Changming returned to the General Office to work.

Zhuang Ren found Song Changming with a bad face.

"The message from the top has been conveyed. For those chivalrous men who come to seek refuge, if they disrupt the order in the city, let us mediate. Unless there is a murder, we can't arrest them."

Song Changming frowned when he heard this.

"Is this what the fifth prince meant?"

"It's almost the same. It may also be the idea of ​​his advisers and officials. Anyway, this matter has been decided. Let the people below hold back." Zhuang Ren waved his hand.

He was obviously very dissatisfied with the arrangement of the top.

When did these people in the martial arts world have such privileges in the city?

It's too outrageous.

If this goes on, where is the majesty of their patrol armor department? People will step on their heads and bully them.

Song Changming shook his head, turned and left.

I think this is not only the case in their county, but also in the seven counties controlled by the fifth prince.

Anyone who comes to seek refuge with him, no matter whether he is good or bad, will accept them all.

It is not difficult to understand the thoughts of the fifth prince and the group officials behind him as superiors.

After all, these people who came to seek refuge with them were an important source of strength for them to fight against the imperial court, and they were part of the new force that they could drive onto the battlefield to fight.

In order to take the overall situation into consideration and not to let the people who come to seek refuge feel cold, it is nothing to indulge these people in some small things.

But even though Song Changming knew that the decisions made by these superiors had their considerations and reasons.

But so what, this is still not the reason for allowing evil people to run amok in the city.

There can clearly be a better solution, but the decision-makers don't care about these trivial matters and don't want to think too much about it.

Willow House.

After listening to what Song Changming said, Liu Dingsheng said with a smile as he made his move: "So what's so good about being a military attache? There are restrictions at every level. When an order is given from above, no matter how reluctant you are, you have to do it.

What you, the chief of patrol of the General Division, do is not as comfortable as a commoner like me. "

"Senior, what you said makes sense." Song Changming nodded without any explanation.

If it had been a peaceful and prosperous age before, and his official position was backed by a powerful government and court, he would naturally be respected by everyone and his status would be extremely high.

But now in troubled times, even the government and the court behind you may not be reliable, and being an official is indeed not as good as before.

Liu Dingsheng took another look at Song Changming and said with a smile: "It seems that you already have your own plans, so why are you here to find me today?"

"Senior, I have perfected both sword skills. If I want to continue improving, what should I do next?" Song Changming asked directly.

Liu Dingsheng raised his hand to make a chess piece, and after taking the next step, he said: "I have said before that your sword skills have reached their peak. What is lacking is the physical training to match your perfect sword skills.

You started practicing physical training too late, and now you are only at the sixth level, which is far behind. "

Song Changming nodded, he knew this too.

It's just that body refining is a long process, and he can't get up quickly even if he wants to. Seeing that Liu Dingsheng still seemed to have something to say, he didn't say much and continued to listen.

"Generally speaking, martial arts scores range from low to high, inferior martial arts, superior martial arts, and top martial arts. You have already perfected the top sword skills. If you want to go further in your sword skills, you can no longer limit yourself to the framework of martial arts. Liu Dingsheng said slowly.

Song Changming listened thoughtfully and said a little uncertainly: "Senior, what you mean is that I don't have to look for sword skills anymore and jump out of the category of martial arts. Do you mean martial arts?"

Liu Dingsheng nodded, picked up the small jade cup filled with tea and continued.

"If you want to find a martial arts that is deeper and more powerful than the top martial arts, you can only use martial arts. However, the practice of martial arts has hard conditions in terms of martial arts cultivation. You must at least become an extreme warrior before you can have initial contact. Qualifications for martial arts."

When Song Changming heard this, he was immediately discouraged.

All said and done, there is still only one way to become stronger by improving one's physical training.

"It seems that from now on, most of the energy and time will be devoted to body training." Song Changming said rather helplessly.

In fact, he had already shifted the focus of his daily practice to physical training a long time ago.

Now that his sword skills are perfect and cannot be improved, his daily training time can be arranged to be more extreme.

"That's right. The main reason is that situations like yours are really rare. The martial arts masters I have met usually reach the ninth level of physical training first, and then they can perfect the superior or top martial arts.

Compared with physical training, the improvement of martial arts requires more understanding. This is especially true for top martial arts, which are often more difficult to achieve perfection. "Liu Dingsheng explained.

In other words, Song Changming completed the most difficult part first, but the step-by-step progress of body training was still far from perfection.

"Right now, you don't have to think too much, guard against arrogance and impetuosity, accumulate more of your sword skills, and at the same time step up your practice of physical training." After the game of chess, Liu Dingsheng reminded at the end.

"Okay, I would like to thank you senior for today." Song Changming cupped his hands and thanked him.

During this period, as he became more familiar with this old man, whenever he had any confusion or difficulty, he would consult him while playing chess.

Liu Dingsheng was also very patient with his questions. He would answer most of his questions and provide him with a lot of help.
