"Third brother, Jiang Miao from Tianlong Village has a letter."

Early in the morning, the second sister Du Qi found Du Sheng with a letter in a hurry.

"What did she say in the letter?"

Du Sheng's eyes lit up, and he suddenly became eager.

A few days ago, he asked his second sister to help contact her good best friend, and today he finally replied.

Tianlong Village is the leader of Jiuxiang Eighteen Villages, if Tianlong Village can stand on his side, it will increase the chance of winning by one point to deal with the next danger.

Ninghai County is near the sea and mountainous, and in addition to the rare beasts in the nearby mountains, there are many indigenous people who have lived in the mountains for generations.

These natives exist in the form of stockades, do not obey the king, do not obey the law, and have been selected in the woods since childhood, and they are extremely fierce.

At the beginning, Ninghai was divided into Du Huaiyu as a fief, and the first king also had the intention of letting him subdue these natives.

Jiuxiang and Eighteen Villages is just a general term, in fact, I don't know how many villages are hidden in the boundless mountains.

These eighteen stockades are just the most powerful and well-known among the many stockades.

As far as Du Sheng knows, when Du Huaiyu first arrived in Ninghai, he often clashed with the Eighteen Villages.

Although those natives live in the mountains for a long time, they also need to go down the mountain to buy food and clothing, and the prey and herbs they hunt also need to go down the mountain to sell.

After several conflicts, after Du Huaiyu saw those fierce and brave warriors in Jiuxiang and Eighteen Villages, he immediately had the idea of recruiting those young people in the villages into the army.

It's a pity that after some contact, Tianlong Village and other village leaders disagreed. Later, Du Huaiyu retreated to the second best thing and took gentle means to make friends with him.

Du Huaiyu himself has gone up the mountain many times to visit the leader of Tianlongzhai, and the two have become close friends because of their heroes, so that Du Qi, who likes to follow Du Huaiyu's buttocks since he was a child, and loves to dance knives and guns, and Jiang Miao, the daughter of the leader of Tianlongzhai, have also become best friends.

"Miao Miao invited me to be a guest in their village, and specially asked me to bring you with you."

Du Qi excitedly handed the letter to Du Sheng, who took it and looked at it, and sure enough, it was as Du Qi said.

"Okay, pack your things immediately and go to Tianlong Village!"

The corners of Du Sheng's lips lifted and he immediately made a decision.

Now there is nothing too important in the house, the thunder gun is being made day and night, and the Vermilion Bird Guard is also practicing day and night. There is Qinglongwei secretly monitoring in Ninghai County, even if a wealthy family or a commercial house manager enters a concubine's room at night, Du Sheng knows it.

All preparations were in full swing and in secret, and even if he was away for a few days, it wouldn't have much of an impact.

"Okay, I'll go pack my things."

Du Qi had a little head full of joy, turned around and ran away in a hurry.

Taking advantage of Du Qi's time to pack up his things, Du Sheng called Fu Bo, Li Mu and others over to explain, and picked ten of the most elite Qinglongwei to take with him.

"Old Lu, is the gun I want polished?"

Before leaving, Du Sheng first went to the foundry.

"Master Hou, it was already polished last night."

Blacksmith Lu grinned, took out a somewhat altered thunder gun from the cabinet, and offered it with both hands.

Du Sheng took it and looked at it carefully, and nodded with satisfaction.

This thunder gun, which he specially asked the blacksmith Lu to polish by hand, has two barrels, the handle is hand-polished with the best huanghuali, and the trigger is also made of fine brass.

The whole gun was polished very carefully, and a lifelike unicorn was carved on the butt.

From the outside, no one would have guessed that this was a murderous weapon, but only regarded him as a polished and delicate work of art.

Of course, the biggest difference between the gun in his hand and other thunder guns is that the barrel is carved little by little with a special carving knife in a spiral curve that extends five circles.

Just by carving the spiral curves of these two barrels, it took Blacksmith Lu three days and nights to complete.

"The engraving of rifling is so time-consuming that ordinary blacksmiths simply can't do it, and only a handful of master foundries can barely do it. If we can mass-produce it......"

Du Sheng ** pointed at the smooth gun body, and the essence in his eyes flashed.

The rifled thunder gun has an instantaneous increase in both range and accuracy.

The gun in Du Sheng's hand was very close to the double-barreled shotguns he had played with in his previous life.

"Let's go!"

Carrying the double-barreled shotgun on his shoulder, Du Sheng loaded another 200 rounds of ammunition for the ghost hand to carry, and then took Du Qi and ten Qinglong guards out of the Hou Mansion, and rode in the direction of Tianlong Village.

All the way to the horse, close to noon ten o'clock, Du Sheng and his entourage came to a village entrance on the way to Tianlongzhai.

"After the village in front, walk forward for an hour and arrive at Tianlong Village. There are all mountain roads ahead, and the horses can only be temporarily stored in the village. ”

Du Yue, who used to run to Tianlong Village often, was extremely familiar with the route, and rode slowly towards the village.

Du Sheng and a cadre of Qinglongwei followed, and the ghost hand's pair of sinister eyes did not let go of every corner, and followed him every inch to protect him.

Du Sheng also came here twice a few years ago with his father and second sister, and in his memory, this village is very different from ordinary villages.

To be precise, the village in front of you, with only a dozen households, is more like a gateway to the mountain.

The first two times he came, he had never seen old people or children in the village.

"Miss Qi is here, please come inside."

When she came to a willing door with a flagpole erected at the door, a strong woman who heard the sound of horses' hooves opened the door and came out, and when she saw Du Qi, she immediately smiled enthusiastically and greeted the horse.

"Sister-in-law, it's been a few days, how are you doing lately?"

Du Qi and the strong woman seemed very familiar, and greeted each other warmly.

"Miss Toki's blessing, all is well. Yo! This is the little marquis, I haven't seen you for three or four years, you have grown so tall! ”

The tiger sister-in-law exchanged a few words with Du Qi, and only recognized Du Sheng when Du Sheng approached her.

"Sister-in-law."

Du Sheng looked at the tiger sister-in-law, who was taller than him and stronger than the two of him, and said hello a little unnaturally.

He still remembers the first time he came here with his father a few years ago, and when his sister-in-law carried him off the horse, he was almost crushed to death by the two ** on her chest that were bigger than a basin.

"In charge, Miss Qi and the little marquis are here, come out and help lead the horse!"

The tiger sister-in-law took the reins from Du Sheng's hand, turned her head and shouted, and his eardrums trembled faintly.

"It's coming, it's coming."

A low male voice came from the room, and then everyone saw a man who was only up to the neck of the tiger sister-in-law, thin like a sick seedling who had just recovered from a serious illness, walked out quickly with a simple smile on his face.

After a simple hello, the tiger sister-in-law and his man quickly helped Du Sheng and others lead the horse into the yard and tie it up, and enthusiastically served tea and poured water.

"Sister-in-law Tiger, don't bother, we still have to go into the mountains."

How could Du Sheng have the time to sit here and eat tea, he wished he would see Jiang Miao, who was more wild than the female leopard, in the next moment.

"The little marquis is out of reach, the mountain road is difficult to walk, wait for you to rest for a while and drink some water, I will let the master send you to the village."

Sister-in-law Hu enthusiastically poured a bowl of hot water for everyone and said with a big grin.

Her man sat on a low stool in the corner and nodded with a smile on his face.

Yesterday, the leader passed the news, saying that Du Qi might enter the mountain in the next few days and let them be well received, and the two naturally did not dare to slack off.
