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

Xiao Jingchuan in the county governor's mansion was almost frightened when he heard about this.

The coalition of the six counties might be better, but the 50,000 border guards were really too fierce.

That was the regular army of the court, a truly battle-hardened army!

It's no exaggeration to say that these 50,000 border guards were enough to match 200,000 ordinary county soldiers!

Using them on him even made people feel like using a butcher knife to kill a chicken.

This time, what could he use to resist and parry!

It's over!

It's completely over!

Xiao Jingchuan sat on the bench, looking a little lost.

"Sir, if you keep the green mountains, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood." County Minister Ji Xuechang kept persuading him.

"I know," Xiao Jingchuan sighed.

After learning the news, he had no intention of resisting the 100,000 soldiers of the court at all. With the troops in his hands, it was tantamount to hitting a rock with an egg.

And once all the troops he had accumulated over the years were exhausted, he would really have nothing left.

There was no need to think about it. Now there was only one way out for him.

The next day, Lu Zheng found Song Changming.

"Last night, Brother Gu found me and told me that Donglai County was going to change." Lu Zheng told him about the 100,000 coalition forces of the imperial court.

Song Changming's face also became more serious, saying, "This time the county governor will definitely not be able to bear it."

"Yes." Lu Zheng nodded and continued.

"Brother Gu also said that the county governor must lead his troops to flee, and then the court will send a new county governor to take office. If nothing unexpected happens, there will be a big purge against the remnants of the Xiao family. Let's be careful."

Song Changming frowned.

Normally, he was not a member of the county governor's office, but just a small patrol guard of the General Security Department. He had no family power behind him, and his identity was insignificant.

It was equivalent to a senior cadre at the grassroots level. Logically, this kind of purge would not fall on him.

If the new county governor wanted to maintain the normal operation of the entire Donglai County, it would be impossible to directly subvert the entire grassroots official framework.

The only thing that made Song Changming a little worried was his private relationship with Xiao Shuyun. He didn't know whether it would be brought up to make a fuss.

However, even if this matter was mentioned, it would not attract too much attention.

After all, Xiao Shuyun was just a girl, without an official position, and her status in the Xiao Mansion was not too high.

She had established friendships with too many people over the years, and the new county governor could not track them down one by one.

If Song Changming wanted to wash away this trouble at that time, he would at most spend some money to bribe the higher-ups.

He had been an official for so many years, and he knew some of the pros and cons of it, and knew how to operate it to save trouble.

"What plans does Lord Gu and the Gu family behind him have?" Song Changming asked.

As Xiao Jingchuan's staff, Gu Wenhui held an important position in the county governor's mansion, so it was naturally impossible for him to stay, otherwise he would definitely be the number one target of the new county governor's purge.

And the Gu family behind him had a close relationship with the Xiao family, and it was also likely to be dealt with by the new county governor.

He deduced that this Gu Wenhui would either leave with Xiao Jingchuan, or leave Donglai County with the Gu family.

Anyway, there was no reason for him to stay.

"Brother Gu left last night, and the Gu family left Donglai County one after another a few days ago. Their real estate and land were also sold in a low-key manner, leaving nothing behind." Lu Zheng shook his head.

Song Changming was silent for a while after hearing this.

It must be said that this Gu Wenhui is indeed something, and he has made plans and preparations early.

As a local tyrant, the Gu family has a lot of assets in Donglai County, and it is impossible to clean them up in a short time.

He is afraid that he has been looking for a buyer a long time ago, and has made full preparations for today's evacuation.

He had long anticipated the county governor and the Xiao family today.

And for such a rising local tyrant, if you want them to make up their minds to cut off all their roots and move their entire family, it also requires great courage and determination.

"Changming, I plan to go with Brother Gu." Lu Zheng said at the end, and suddenly changed the subject and announced his decision.

That day, Gu Wenhui had recruited him and Song Changming, believing that both of them were talented generals, but at that time, Donglai County had not changed, and neither of them made a decision.

Lu Zheng could actually stay and continue to be the chief patrol officer of the General Administration.

But after a long talk with Gu Wenhui before leaving last night, he was moved and decided to give up his current official position and follow Gu Wenhui.

Lu Zheng found Song Changming today and told him his decision, in fact, he also wanted to ask Song Changming's plan.

After all, Gu Wenhui recruited both of them at the same time.

In the entire General Security Administration, only the two of them were favored by Gu Wenhui.

Song Changming shook his head and said, "I plan to stay."

Unless he really couldn't stay in Donglai County, he didn't want to move.

First, the outside world was in chaos. If he left Donglai County, it might not be safe to move to a strange place.

Second, the two elderly people in the family were old and couldn't stand the tossing outside, so it was best to stay in the county.

As for joining Gu Wenhui, it was not within his current consideration.

He did not know what the other party was really going to do, so it was impossible for him to follow him without knowing anything.

Compared with the friendship between Lu Zheng and Gu Wenhui, he was very unfamiliar with the other party. They had only had a drink together, did not know each other well, and had no trust at all.

"Okay." Lu Zheng nodded, without further persuasion or questions.

He was not a long-winded person, let alone a qualified lobbyist.

"Take care after this farewell." Song Changming said.

"Take care." Lu Zheng nodded, and turned to leave with a two-meter-tall figure.

Song Changming watched Lu Zheng leave, shaking his head constantly, sighing that another familiar friend had left.

Xiao Shuyun before, Lu Zheng now, I'm afraid there will be many more familiar people leaving in the future.

Life is like this, there is no banquet that will not end.

He has a long life, and is destined to face more separations, even separations of life and death.

"It's good this way, get used to it as soon as possible, and it will be fine in the future."

Thinking of this, Song Changming, as usual, finished his errands, went home on time, and spent more time with his parents at home when he had free time.

The next day, Lu Zheng was no longer in the headquarters.

Xie Shihuan was furious when he learned about it.

In fact, he received Lu Zheng's resignation letter yesterday, but he did not accept it and scolded Lu Zheng.

Who would have thought that Lu Zheng was so rebellious that he would just walk away today? How could Xie Shihuan not be angry?

Afterwards, he found each patrol chief and had a private conversation with him.

The content of the conversation was the same, revealing that the county governor was going to leave Donglai County and start a new business. As one of Xiao Jingchuan's trusted confidants, he began to lobby each patrol chief to follow him and go with the county governor to join the great cause.

This also included Song Changming.

He even lobbied Song Changming for the longest time because of his personal bravery and great potential.

But unfortunately, when the Xiao family was at its peak, Song Changming was unwilling to enter the county governor's office to serve as an official, let alone now.

Xie Shihuan finally failed to persuade Song Changming, which made him very disappointed.

One Lu Zheng, one Song Changming, two of the greatest talents of the General Administration, he failed to recruit Xiao Jingchuan.

This is undoubtedly a great regret.

Of course, Song Changming did not say it completely, which made Xie Shihuan feel that if Xiao Jingchuan made a comeback in the future, he would go there to admire his reputation.

"Changming, that day won't be too long. I'll wait for you then." Xie Shihuan looked at Song Changming deeply, patted his shoulder, and said finally.

After a few days, as the 100,000 soldiers organized by the court got closer and closer.

County Magistrate Xiao Jingchuan finally couldn't wait to leave!

He took away everything he could, emptied the warehouse of the County Magistrate's Mansion, the military's weapons and equipment warehouse, and even the granary in the city.

In the end, he also took away a large number of talented officials under his command, as well as more than 50,000 troops, and left the city in the night, heading west.

Until dawn, the remaining people reacted and were stunned by the deserted Xiao Mansion and the unguarded County Magistrate's Mansion.

Those who should leave have left, and those who stay either don't want to leave or are looked down upon by the County Magistrate.

"What should we do." Zhou Sixin, Song Changming, and several other patrol captains who stayed behind looked at Xie Shihuan, who had also disappeared, and looked at each other in silence.

There were a total of 20 patrol teams in the General Administration, but only seven were left.

The remaining 13 patrol teams, including the 13 patrol captains, were taken away by Xie Shihuan.

The entire Public Security General Administration suddenly became deserted.

"To be honest, it was a bit sudden," Song Changming murmured.

It would be fine if Xie Shihuan was gone from Donglai County, but without the county governor, even the entire county governor's office was emptied out by half.

Without a leader, the remaining officials even found it difficult to maintain order in the county.

Before the new county governor took over, it was undoubtedly foreseeable that the entire Donglai County would fall into even more chaotic turmoil.

"The patrol department in the urban area sent news that at least more than half of the patrol guards were taken away, and the patrol department in Yong'an Street was even emptied, with only three or two patrol guards and some night watchmen left."

"It's too much." Zhou Sixin shook his head.

Soon, the news that the county magistrate had abandoned the city and fled spread among the people in the city, which then caused an uproar. People of all kinds began to make a fuss in the city, and more and more looting and smashing incidents occurred in various districts.

The county magistrate's office was completely paralyzed, the patrol department was short of manpower, and the remaining patrol guards could not control it.
