in the edge

Chapter 33

Du Chengfeng knew Liu Dudu, the governor of Jizhou.

Like Liu Qingyun, who was a well-known swordsman before, Dudu Liu only served as a background board for people to chat most of the time, but as a big man who ruled the entire Jizhou, Dudu Liu's status was much higher than Liu Qingyun.

This can also be seen from Liu Qingyun's life. He may talk about Liu Dudu in his conversation, but he has never actually met Liu Dudu himself.

After all, no matter how famous a swordsman is, he is just a swordsman, and if he wants to enter the Dudu's Mansion, it is still too far behind.

But Liu Qingyun couldn't do it, it didn't mean Du Chengfeng couldn't do it.

After all, in the process of sharpening his sword, he had already learned that this time the Hu people went south, it was not an ordinary looting, but an all-out war initiated by the Khan deep in the grassland, with the Qingyang tribe as the vanguard.These prairie warriors who have survived the bitter cold in Mobei will do whatever it takes to seize the warm land in the south. At this time, the Qingyang tribe has a horror like He Xiqing who has almost no shortcomings. general.

There is no doubt that this is an extremely important military situation. If this information is handed over to Dudu Liu, maybe the other party can really arrange troops in advance, set up an ambush, and give Hexi Qing, and even the Qingyang behind him Department, come to a head-on blow.

However, although this idea is good, in practice, Du Chengfeng still feels that he will encounter many difficulties.

For example, like now.

"What? You said the barbarians are going to call?"

On the second day, Du Chengfeng got up early in the rare morning and rushed all the way to the governor's mansion in Ji Town, but the soldiers guarding the door stopped him.

"Okay, I got it, you can go back, Dudu Liu will send troops to rescue you later."

Obviously, the guards at the gate didn't take Du Chengfeng's words seriously at all. As for the reason, it was because there were too many similar information-Jizhou was located on the border, with the grassland to the north, and it seemed like the grassland people went south. There are hundreds, if not a thousand, of robberies every year.More than a dozen barbarians dared to come over to grab things on horseback. Anyway, they had nothing left but their lives. Faced with this kind of endless harassment, no matter how much the Dudu Mansion sent troops to support them, they couldn't keep up with the barbarians' looting speed. .

It is precisely because of this that strong men like the Yang family appear in some villages in Jizhou. After all, if everyone does not engage in this kind of self-protection behavior, and only points to the Dudu Mansion to send troops to save lives, then wait for these soldiers. When we arrived, everyone was already dead on the ground.

However, after the villages and towns under its jurisdiction formed strongholds to protect themselves, the Dudu Mansion has been idle. Unless there is intelligence that can confirm that the barbarian army is pressing down on the border, the Dudu Mansion is also willing to let villages and towns like Yangjiabao organize themselves. Resistance can also reduce some of the burden on the Governor's Mansion.

Fortunately, Du Chengfeng really brought the exact information this time.

"This is the ax left by He Xixuan of the Qingyang tribe, the general of the Hu people who attacked Yangjiabao not long ago."

While saying this, Du Chengfeng untied the coarse cloth wrapped around the ax blade.

"I sharpen knives, so I can get information on this axe. Take it to your grinder master, and someone will understand what I'm talking about."

"This……"

Just looking at the axe, the two soldiers guarding the gate of the Governor's Mansion subconsciously took half a step back.

And after Du Chengfeng handed over the axe, the two guards didn't even dare to pick it up.

As soldiers, they have been in contact with weapons all year round, but they can't see how dangerous this big ax means.

"You wait here, we will go in and report!"

The two soldiers rushed into the Governor's Mansion as if they were fleeing, which made Du Chengfeng frown.

Du Chengfeng originally thought that since Governor Liu was in charge of Ji Town, which was on the border, he must be an iron-blooded general. Naturally, the soldiers under such a figure would not be any worse - but at least he What I saw now was that the two soldiers guarding the gate of the Governor's Mansion looked like ordinary servants of a wealthy family. Even a mere big ax could scare them into running away in confusion.

This psychological endurance is too poor, not even as good as Carpenter Li. You must know that Carpenter Li even asked him last night after he was drunk, if he could drink the ax too, so that he could take it back to cut wood.

From this point of view, the Governor's Mansion may not be able to count on it.If all the soldiers under Governor Liu's command were at this level, it would be difficult to say whether these people would be counted as combat effectiveness after they were gathered together, or whether they would be counted as materials for He Xiqing to improve his strength.

And the news brought back by the two soldiers made Du Chengfeng shake his head even more.

Liu Dudu was not in the mansion, and neither was the grinder. According to the two soldiers, they rode out early in the morning.

It's hard to tell whether this is the real thing or whether it's just an excuse used by the two soldiers to prevaricate him, but now that he already knows that he won't be able to see the Governor Liu, Du Chengfeng has no interest in staying in Jizhen anymore.

It is better to seek help from others than to ask for yourself. Instead of being like Liu Qingyun, who placed his hopes on other aspects and eventually died, it is better to use the methods he has recently learned to polish himself.

Although it may not be enough to win, even if you die, you may be able to die a little more heroically.

So, after leading the horse out of Ji Town, Du Chengfeng got on the horse and returned to Yangjiabao all the way.

But when he just returned to his small courtyard, Du Chengfeng suddenly saw that the old man Yang Xuan, who was in charge of the Yangjiabao, was standing at the door of his small courtyard,

"What's the matter?"

Du Chengfeng got off his horse with a puzzled look on his face.

"Did you bring me a new knife again?"

"It's not a new knife, it's an old knife... It's not right, strong man, let's borrow it first."

I saw that Yang Xuan faltered for a while, but finally pulled Du Chengfeng aside.

And Du Chengfeng also knew the whole story.

It is indeed the matter of the old sword, that is, the matter of the broken horse long sword yesterday.After Liu Qingyun was killed by a sword in a duel before, Yang Xuan bought this horse-breaking long knife from Liu Qingyun's family almost immediately, and took it to Du Chengfeng's side.

Du Chengfeng gained the opportunity to use weapons and sharpen knives, and the Yang family in Jizhou also gained Du Chengfeng's friendship. This was originally a win-win situation.

But that's where the problem lies.

"It was only last night that I found out that the grinder in the Dudu's Mansion also took a fancy to the Broken Horse Sword."

Having said this, the old Yang Xuan couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

"That's the grinder of the Dudu Mansion, this..."

"That is to say, you want me to face you, right?"

Du Chengfeng immediately heard the implication of Yang Xuan's words, but he didn't feel bored at all.

Anyway, he has been sharpening the knife alone all this time, and it was when he wanted to communicate with his colleagues. Now because of this long horse-breaking knife, he just had this opportunity.

"You make an appointment, I'll go talk to him."

"There is no need to make an appointment."

Yang Xuan smiled awkwardly, raised his hand and pointed to the small courtyard beside him.

"They've come, they're in the yard now."
