The case of the garrison lord Chen Gongzhao's family has finally come to an end after the official announcement of the city guard mansion.

Since the people in Songhu City knew that the assassination of Chen Gongzhao's father and son was the most terrible killer organization "Dark Way", they naturally understood that this matter must not be simple, and thus understood that the assassination had nothing to do with ordinary people, and guessed that there must be some major conflicts of interest involved, which was not something that ordinary people needed to care about.

As for whether the new Zhengyin Commander Shi Ziling can catch the gold medal killer of the "Dark Dao", neither ordinary people nor the leaders of major families care much.

Although Chen Gongzhao is a garrison lord, he is mean and ruthless, except for those who have interests with him, most people have no good impression of this garrison lord.

What's more, everyone understands that the "Dark Killer" is mysterious and unpredictable, and his power and whereabouts spread throughout the Bright Moon Continent, although Shi Ziling is recognized as the number one master in the east, it is obviously a little impractical to rely on Shi Ziling alone to deal with the entire "Dark Dao".

For all strata of Songhu City, everyone just hopes that the "Dark Killer" will no longer act recklessly after Shiziling returns, and more people just hope that Songhu City will be safe and peaceful.

In the following period of time, Songhu City was indeed peaceful, and the matter was gradually forgotten, and Shi Ziling's reputation was not damaged much because he did not catch the "Dark Killer".

After Chen Zhongping recovered from his injuries, he sold his family property in Songhu City and moved to other places with his family and belongings. Some people say that he went to the west to seek refuge with Li Yuan, and some people say that he went to the south or even overseas, anyway, from then on, there was no longer the Chen family in Songhu City.

Originally, everyone didn't care much about this, but there was one thing that surprised everyone, that is, after the Chen family moved out, the person who bought the Chen family's mansion turned out to be Mu Baishuang, the beautiful deputy general in the defending army.

No one knows how this beautiful deputy general could have so much money and be able to buy the Chen family's mansion in one fell swoop. After Mu Baishuang bought the Chen family's mansion, it underwent large-scale renovation and decoration, and it was not officially moved in until two months later.

However, Mu Baishuang is quite low-key, except for going to the barracks of the garrison army every day, he rarely has contact with outsiders, and even in the army, he is always unsmiling, and he looks like he rejects people thousands of miles away.

Although everyone was curious about this beautiful and wealthy female lieutenant, they were always unapproachable, and could only discuss various possibilities about her in private.

When the official construction of the Metropolitan Mansion was completed two months later, all the dignitaries and nobles in Songhu City rushed to inquire when Shiziling would move in, and everyone was ready to give him a generous gift, hoping to take the opportunity to congratulate the young Lord Dutong on his housewarming.

Although Shi Ziling himself does not like publicity, the Yu family insists that on the day of the housewarming, they must have a big banquet and celebrate with guests, and Shi Ziling's colleagues in the army and the leading figures in the city such as Su Bairen and Ma Dai have also asked Shi Ziling many times when he will move into his new home.

Shi Ziling thought about the hospitality of everyone, if he was too low-key, he would inevitably be a little unkind, and finally decided to set up a banquet in the Metropolitan Mansion on February 18 and officially moved into the Metropolitan Mansion.

When the news came out, it immediately became a hot topic in the streets and alleys of Songhu City, and all kinds of people with heads and faces in the city were proud to get the invitation post of Shiziling. Even if there is no way to get a formal invitation, they have all prepared gifts, hoping to take the opportunity to have a relationship with Shi Ziling.

The reason why everyone attaches so much importance to Shiziling has a lot to do with the current situation in the Mingyue Continent. In the past two months, although Songhu City has been relatively calm, many major events have happened in other parts of the Bright Moon Continent.

First of all, at the junction of the northwest area, the Yanyun Legion of the Xiahou family's descendants clashed with the Blue Wolf Legion of the Tongtian Sect in the Western Regions, and then a great war broke out, as a result, Xiahou Feiyang, the eldest son of the Xiahou family, personally led 50,000 Yanyun Iron Cavalry to defeat the Blue Wolf Legion led by Li Zhun.

Li Zhun's Blue Wolf Legion was defeated by Yanyun Iron Cavalry when the strength was superior, and Li Zhun himself was unexpectedly defeated by Xiahou Feiyang, so that the Blue Wolf Legion was defeated in succession, losing three cities under its jurisdiction in a row, and did not stop the decline until it retreated to the Golden Gate Pass.

The strange thing is that Li Yuan, the leader of the Tongtian Sect, did not immediately send troops to retaliate, but only ordered Li Zhun to take advantage of the natural danger of Jinmen Pass to hold out, and Xiahou Feiyang did not continue to advance after even taking down the three cities, but hurriedly led his subordinates to return to the lair in the north.

It turned out that when Xiahou Feiyang led his troops to fight the Blue Wolf Legion, Bai Wuya, the lord of the Shura Mansion who was the only one in the north, issued a challenge to compete with Xiahou Yuan, the head of the Xiahou family.

Xiahou Yuan responded to the battle with great emotion, unexpectedly after many years of retreat, Bai Wuya's skills improved greatly, and he cultivated the strongest secret technique of Shura Mansion "Xuanbing True Qi", and the decisive battle between the two at the top of Mount Tai ended with Xiahou Yuan seriously injured and defeated.

The news shocked the world, Xiahou Feiyang had to hurry back from the battlefield, Li Zhun learned that he led the army to counterattack and recover all the lost cities.

Although the war in the northwest has temporarily subsided since then, Xiahou Feiyang's reputation has soared because of his victory over Li Zhun, surpassing Li Xiaoyao, Nangong Bo and others of his generation in one fell swoop, and many people are even optimistic that he can enter the top ten of the "Top 100 List" to be promulgated by the Ministry of War in the new year.

In addition to these two major events happening in the northwest, there was also shocking news coming out of the central part of the Bright Moon Continent.

Tang Jingtian, the head of the largest family in central China, was shocked to announce that he would establish himself as king and no longer obey the orders of the imperial court.

Although the Bright Moon Continent has been in a situation of actual secession all year round, the Tang family, which is not the strongest among the several major forces, took the lead in announcing that it was the king, which still shocked everyone.

It is rumored that the reason why the Tang family dared to be so bold and take the lead in establishing themselves as kings was because of the corruption and weakness of the imperial court and the fact that most of the local forces were too busy to take care of themselves, but also because he had the full support of a super master.

This super master is the "Ruyi Gate" master Fang Wuming, Fang Wuming announced in a high-profile manner that he would cooperate with Tang Jingtian, officially enter the Central Plains from Tianchi outside the Far North Pass, and begin to recruit disciples in the Central Plains, hoping to develop the "Ruyi Gate" into the first sect in the Mingyue Continent today, and it has the intention of competing with the Tongtian Sect in the west.

In addition, the first person recognized as martial arts in the United States, Yuan Shi Tianzun, and his Shangqing sect have always been located on the Shangqing Mountain in the hinterland of the Central Plains. Although Yuan Shi Tianzun has not asked about the world for many years, Tang Jingtian is a lay disciple of Yuan Shi Tianzun, with this important identity, Tang Jingtian with the slogan of "Shangqing Inheritance, Destiny of Heaven" has also won the support of many people.

When the imperial court learned of the news that Tang Jingtian had established himself as king, he immediately declared him a rebel and said that he would send troops to crusade against Tang Jingtian, but there was no substantive move.

Although the newly formed legions in the capital are recruiting a wide range of people, they are far from forming a real combat force, and the original three legions are responsible for defending the imperial city and do not dare to leave easily. The imperial court had to first order that all localities should dispatch military horses and send troops together to defeat Tang Jingtian.

Several major forces in the southeast, northwest, and northwest regions agreed to respond to the imperial court on the surface, but in fact there were few actual actions, and only Su Bairen in the east sent Zhao Xiong, the capital commander, to lead 10,000 horses to the central part. Of course, Zhao Xiong did not act rashly after arriving, but only set up camp far from the range of the central defenses, waiting for the arrival of the imperial army and other local troops.

Although Su Bairen was timid and afraid of things, he did not dare to openly disobey the orders of the imperial court, but he also understood that there was no need to really make a big deal about it. Although he sent men and horses according to the requirements of the imperial court, he repeatedly told Zhao Xiong not to act rashly, unless the imperial court led the major armies to arrive, and other places also sent men and horses to respond, otherwise he would never take the initiative to start a war.

Previously, on the eastern side, the imperial court had decreed the establishment of a new governor, which was regarded as the largest magistrate in the east, and was concurrently held by Su Bairen, the city guard of Songhu City. The Songhu Army, which had been preparing for a long time in the east, was also officially established after receiving official approval from the imperial court.

The newly built Songhu Legion had a strength of 80,000 men, and Shi Ziling was officially appointed as the first commander of the Songhu Legion, but the specific preparation and military expenses were all settled by the east itself.

Fortunately, the eastern part has always been rich, and the area around Songhu City has gathered many wealthy people in the Mingyue Continent, and with the reputation of Shiziling, the required expenses will be raised quickly. At the same time, there are also capable people from all over the country who come to take refuge in view of the relative prosperity and stability in the east, and many people in the east are willing to join the Songhu Army because they are consciously and well-skilled.

With enough money and talent accumulation, coupled with the appeal of Shiziling, the Songhu Legion was quickly established.
