in the edge

Chapter 34 Solicitation
Under Yang Xuan's recommendation, Du Chengfeng, who returned to the courtyard, also met the grinder surnamed Wang and Governor Liu who had come all the way.

Contrary to Du Chengfeng's imagination, neither Governor Liu nor the grinder named Wang showed any military temperament in their bodies.Although both of them were wearing swords, just looking at their wide robes and long sleeves, they looked more like literati holding books than generals.

There were five strands of clear beard hanging on the fair face, which were obviously well-groomed, and Du Chengfeng could faintly smell an elegant fragrance from three steps away from the two sides.

His own yard knows that this fragrance is obviously not from his side.

Such a dilapidated small courtyard is naturally out of place for these two people who are as elegant as banished immortals, but the two of them didn't mind too much, just sitting there made half of the room look shabby Hui.

This couldn't help but make Du Chengfeng and Yang Xuan glance at each other subconsciously.

Compared with the two people in front of him who could tell that they were noble at a glance, their current attire was beyond recognition. Fortunately for Yang Xuan, he looked old and leaning on a cane, so he could be considered a rural farmer, while Tao Du Chengfeng, who was wearing an old robe, looked like a refugee at a glance.

Just by looking at their attire, the two of them were clearly different from these two nobles.

"You are Du Chengfeng? I've heard of you."

Just when Du Chengfeng was frowning secretly, Dudu Liu spoke up.

"You know how to sharpen a knife?"

"Correct."

Du Chengfeng nodded gently, neither humble nor arrogant.

Liu Dudu will know about him, but Du Chengfeng is not surprised.After all, the Yang family had been helping him buy weapons and publicize his reputation so that more Jizhou swordsmen would come to him to sharpen their knives. There is no reason why Liu Dudu, who is in command of the entire Jizhou, would be ignorant of him.

So Governor Liu came here in person, was it to recruit?

"Since you have the ability to sharpen weapons, do you want to come to my tent and take orders?"

Just when Du Chengfeng thought of this, Dudu Liu in front of him really spoke.

But Du Chengfeng shook his head.

Relying on the Jizhou Governor's Mansion, he could indeed borrow a huge amount of power, but this meeting always made Du Chengfeng feel a little uncomfortable.Although Dudu Liu did look like a corporal, and his manner of speech was refreshing, but Du Chengfeng was still faintly aware of that insignificant sense of alienation.

Since it's not a family, it's better not to enter one.

After all, compared to a clever opponent, a teammate who does not cooperate well will often have more serious consequences.

"Liu Dudu was joking, isn't there already a grinder in the army? I'm still far behind in my little skills, so I won't go to the camp to cause trouble."

Although he spoke modestly, Du Chengfeng had already pushed the matter out. Anyway, he already had an understanding of the level of soldiers in Jizhen, and this war was destined to be his alone.

But Liu Dudu didn't take it seriously, he just followed Du Chengfeng's words and continued.

"Since we've talked about the grinder, you should already know that I came here this time to let you serve in the army, and secondly, because of the long sword that broke the horse."

Speaking of this, Liu Dudu raised his hand to signal, and the grinder surnamed Wang stepped forward and began to explain the reason.

It turned out that the five-foot-long knife was originally the size of a military weapon, and private individuals were not allowed to own it, but the original knife owner Liu Qingyun had made great achievements in suppressing horse thieves, and he loved knives eagerly, so the Dudu Mansion simply turned a blind eye to it. It can also be regarded as a commendation for Liu Qingyun's suppression of horse thieves - but now that Liu Qingyun is dead, the horse-breaking sword, which can be counted as a weapon, naturally cannot continue to live among the people.

"The other reason is a personal matter."

Saying this, the grinder surnamed Wang cupped his hands towards the south.

"When Liu Qingyun was still alive, he made a special trip to Yanzhou and asked my teacher Ruan Shantao to sharpen this long saber. Since it involves the secrets of his master's inheritance, this saber cannot be passed on to the outside world. Please let the strong men cut it off."

"Um……"

Du Chengfeng couldn't help but fell silent.

He can probably guess some of the so-called master-inheritance secrets, perhaps to prevent other grinders from deciphering the grinding technique in reverse through the grinding marks on the knife?
Then he can only say that what this colleague named Wang is worried about is indeed reasonable. After all, he himself has already copied the method of studying and sharpening a knife clearly - although he is limited by environmental issues, he It's just that he couldn't completely reproduce it, but he also memorized the entire process.

But even so, he still couldn't give away the long sword that broke the horse.

He Xiqing didn't know when he would arrive. At present, every additional weapon would give him one more point of combat power.What's more, the long horse-breaking sword is different from the Yang family's ancestral sword that he is used to. The exaggerated length of five feet can greatly make up for his disadvantage when facing the barbarian cavalry charging on horseback.

After all, this knife is called Broken Horse, and that's what this thing is aimed at.

However, it is obviously inappropriate to refuse directly. The other party has brought out the master. If he says something to refuse, it will inevitably be suspected of being greedy for other people's craftsmanship.

So after thinking for a moment, Du Chengfeng simply took out the big ax that he got from He Xixuan.

"I can understand how you feel, but I have also encountered a disaster recently...or in other words, the entire Jizhou will soon face a disaster."

Saying this, Du Chengfeng pushed the ax forward.

"You are also a grinder, after reading this, you should know what I'm talking about."

"This pattern... is the style of the grassland royal court."

The grinder surnamed Wang had good eyesight, and he could see the origin of this big ax at a glance.

But just when Du Chengfeng happily thought that they could understand each other, the grinder surnamed Wang looked at him suspiciously.

"So what does this have to do with the disaster you mentioned? Just this barbarian-style ax?"

"what?"

Du Chengfeng couldn't help being taken aback.

"You can't see anything?"

"What can you tell from this?"

Hearing Du Chengfeng actually say this, the grinder surnamed Wang looked unhappy.

"Are you entertaining me?"

"This……"

Du Chengfeng was speechless for a long time.

Originally, he thought that he could see the experience of this weapon through grinding the weapon on his side, so the other grinders would naturally be the same, and everyone would be the same.

But now it seems...that's not the case?

"What nonsense!"

After hearing Du Chengfeng's self-defense, the grinder surnamed Wang immediately shook his head.

"I, Mr. Wang, have read sage books for more than [-] years. I don't know the tens of thousands of weapons in my hands. I have never heard of them. Who else can tell the past experience of this weapon just by the gap of the blade."

Saying this, the grinder surnamed Wang simply pulled out the sword from his waist and threw it in front of Du Chengfeng.

"Since you said you have this ability, then why don't you take a look at what this sword has gone through?"

"I……"

Looking at the long sword in front of him, Du Chengfeng couldn't help frowning.

It wasn't because he didn't want to prove his statement by sharpening a knife, but mainly because there was no evil spirit on the sword in front of him.

In other words, this sword never killed anyone.

No one was killed, so this sword didn't need polishing from the beginning. The polisher named Wang threw such a sword to him just to amuse him.

So, do you want to kill?
Du Chengfeng's hand unconsciously touched the ax handle.

The distance between the two sides is less than three steps, and it only takes a dragon-shaped slash to separate the grinder surnamed Wang. within the jump range.

What's more, compared to his current attire, the wide robes and large sleeves of these two people are not conducive to fighting. If he really uses his hands, he can cut off two heads in one breath.

For him, all it takes is a raise of his hand...

"Mr. Wang, I think you are a bit embarrassing for this strong man."

Just as the scarlet bloodshot eyes were gradually climbing up Du Chengfeng's eyes, Governor Liu, who had not spoken for a long time, stood up, picked up the sword, and looked up and down.

"Your sword has never seen blood, and it doesn't need to be sharpened at all. How can this strong man do it?"

"Captain, he was the one who boasted first."

The grinder surnamed Wang shrank his neck, but still argued hard.

"I'm just...ho, ho ho ho."

Before he finished speaking, the grinder surnamed Wang suddenly couldn't make a sound, only a big mouthful of blood gushed out of his throat, and soon dyed the big sleeves of the toga bright red.

Just because the sword he just threw had already penetrated his neck.

Pulling out his long sword, Liu Dudu let the grinder's body fall on the ground like garbage, without even looking at it.

Then he turned the hilt upside down and handed the blood-stained sword to Du Chengfeng.

"Come, strong man, this sword has already seen blood, now it can be sharpened."
