Chapter 135: Sacrificial Knife

"I really didn't expect that the princess would keep this hand." Holding this letter, Gu Caiwei sighed.

Du Junqing also bowed his head. "With this, it's easier for us to act."

Gu Caiwei laughed when she heard it. "I still remember last time, the princess took the initiative to hand over her mine to us to take care of, but we politely refused. As a result, now that she brings it up again, we just agreed? It doesn't seem good to go back on your word like this! ”

"What's so bad? It was before, and now is now. Du Junqing said steadily.

Gu Caiwei stuck out her tongue. "Yes. And now we do need her help. With this letter as a backer, we don't have to worry about what we want to do!

Saying this, the tense hearts of the two people relaxed a lot.

They hurriedly took a break, and then got up early the next morning, and the group went to the mine together.

The situation in the mine is even worse than the previous letter said. Walking all the way, I saw that the mountain stream they had passed through countless times before, the originally clear stream was now all black, and the small river used for iron ore was even blacker, and the river water was so black that you could not see the pebbles at the bottom of the river!

Seeing this situation, not to mention that Du Junqing's face became gloomy, Gu Caiwei's heart was also heavy.

"Master Hou, you can be regarded as here!" Seeing Du Junqing coming, the people from the household military department hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

In view of the fact that the situation on the side of the iron mine has stabilized, the two waiters from the Ministry of War and the Household Department have already returned to Luoyang last year, leaving only a few people here to take care of them. Although Du Junqing hadn't been here for two years, they still remembered Du Junqing's prestige, so as soon as they saw him coming, they hurried forward to complain as if they had grabbed a life-saving straw.

From their voices in a few words, Du Junqing and Gu Caiwei had already figured out the situation in front of them. Then, they also determined that the surname Wu was clearly deliberate!

"Then you didn't do anything after seeing them do this?" Du Junqing asked in a deep voice.

"We took it! As soon as we found that the water was discolored, we immediately sent someone to find out the cause, and then we found out to Yangxin County. We immediately went over and reminded them not to discharge the sewage directly, they readily agreed, and blamed themselves for a long time, saying that it was indeed their problem, so they went to catch the culprit and quickly solved the matter. Results ......"

"The result?" Du Junqing asked again.

Even though he knew the ending, he insisted on asking the end.

The people from the household department had to answer honestly: "As a result, after we came back, we did not hear any news from that side for a long time, but the color of the river became darker and darker. When we went to look for them again, they just stopped us and ignored us! If we say a few more words, they will directly send men to beat us and drive us away! ”

A touch of coldness flashed in Du Junqing's eyes.

"So, instead of going to them again, you turned around and wrote to Ben Hou for help?"

The people in the household department were inexplicably cold on their backs, and he quickly shrank his neck and stopped talking.

Seeing this, the people in the military department had no choice but to speak cheekily: "Master Hou, forgive me, it's really our people who are soft-spoken, and the king of Xin'an County and his people don't take us seriously at all, so we can't do anything about it!" We don't have the wisdom of you, Master Hou, what can we do? I can only ask you to come back and help. ”

Du Jun snorted coldly, and then turned around and left.

When the people from the Ministry of War and the Household Department saw this, they were excited again, but they didn't dare to take a breath.

In fact, Du Junqing didn't go anywhere else, but seized the time to walk up and down the mine again.

To be honest, although they have not been here for the past two years, the mine has been running quite well. The mining of rocks, the smelting of iron, and the transportation of weapons, each department has its own duties, and now it is very systematic.

Especially with the weapons produced in Yongxing County being sent to all parts of the country, not only Du Junqing's reputation spread to the whole world, but also the sword-casting masters all over the world have also heard about the good iron mines in Yongxing County, as well as the favorable conditions for Changning Hou to treat the sword-casting masters, plus Fufengzi Ou Shenzi is also here...... The swordsmiths from all over the world rushed to this side, and a large area at the foot of the mountain was filled with the swordsmiths' swordsmithing room.

It's just that, because of the pollution of the water source, there is now a lonely iron room, and the sound of clanging can hardly be heard.

But the people who mine ore in the mountains and transport ore down are still busy going back and forth.

There were also people sent from various places to transport weapons, and they all sat in their houses with their heads down. Hearing that Du Junqing was coming, they hurriedly gathered around and asked Du Junqing to give an explanation.

"Marquis Changning, you must solve this matter quickly, the officers and soldiers in our army are still looking forward to us transporting the new weapons back! I told them before I came, within half a year, everyone will be able to use the new weapons at hand, and then we can be as invincible as the Han Navy! As a result, I've been out of the house for four months, and I haven't gotten a few things until now? It will take two or three months on the way back, and I am destined to break my word to my brothers! But the point is, it doesn't matter if I postpone my return a little, but if I don't even get fewer weapons than I planned at the beginning, then how can I explain to them? ”

"That's it, Master Hou. It's autumn now, and the border gates have begun to cool down, and it's going to snow heavily. If we can't get the weapons again, and the ice will be frozen on the road, then these weapons won't be able to be delivered this year! But when winter comes, it is the time when the Turks wantonly break through the border defenses, burn, kill, and plunder, and the soldiers need weapons to defend their homes and defend the country! ”

"Isn't it? So Master Hou, you have to quickly find a way to solve the matter, you can't delay it any longer! We can't afford to delay, and the people at the border can't afford to drag it either! ”

……

These screams are getting louder and louder, and they are impassioned, as if only the iron ore in Yongxing County is left in the whole world to produce weapons.

I didn't expect the man to be annoying, and he was also chattering, and he was about to burst people's heads.

Du Junqing couldn't bear it and roared: "You all shut up for me!" ”

He shouted angrily, and then a terrifying coldness dispersed, which could be regarded as silencing the chattering people.

Du Junqing sighed: "Since Ben Hou is here, he naturally wants to solve things." This matter is not only anxious for you, but also for Benhou. However, Ben Hou has already thought of a solution, but he needs your help, I wonder if you want to? ”

"Need our help?" When the group of people who had made an impassioned statement just now heard this, they all quietly took a step back.

Du Junqing didn't seem to see it, and he continued: "Since you have all been here for so long, you must all know the cause of the water pollution. Yangxin County has not given an explanation for a long time, and it is only a steady stream of sewage discharge, which is no longer a question of how to deal with it at the moment, but to quickly extinguish the source, otherwise everything is empty talk. It's impossible for you not to understand this. ”

Everyone, look at me, I look at you, and it took a long time before one person spoke: "Then I don't know what the solution is that Changning Hou has come up with?" "It's very simple, just come hard!" Du Jun said indifferently.

His tone was light and breezy, but it inexplicably made everyone present feel excited.

Gu Caiwei couldn't help but stick out her tongue when she heard this: "You have something to rely on, and you are starting to float!" ”

"That's right!" Du Jun cleared his head, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips, "In the past two years, I have given in to them everywhere, and how many holes have I filled in for them, but as a result, they not only don't know how to be grateful, but they also take my efforts for granted. And now, they found that I had a closer relationship with the generals of the various armies, but you and the surnamed Wu were only superficially friendly, and they began to find out that something was wrong, and then they thought of such a way to block our contact. They are truly hateful! ”

"Anyway, I don't have much to say to the person surnamed Wu. Since they don't know how to come to find trouble now, then I'll let them see what it's like for me Du Junqing to start a fire! I want them to remember the lesson once and never forget it for the rest of their lives! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was taken aback.

"Changning Hou, you ...... Is this going to go head-to-head with them? Another cautious question.

"Or else? Is there an alternative right now? Du Junqing chuckled.

A group of people hung their heads.

Now that the samurai family is powerful, they must not want to fight face-to-face with the samurai family. So now that they heard Du Junqing take the initiative to say it so clearly, they all subconsciously wanted to escape.

Seeing this, how could he not understand in his heart?

He immediately smiled lightly again: "I have already fallen out with the surnamed Wu, so even if I have another fight with them now, it will just add another stroke to our already bad relationship, I don't care." However, if you don't want to be involved, then pack up your things and leave as soon as possible, lest you all be involved in the trouble, and Benhou will not be able to help you. ”

When many people heard this, their hearts began to retreat.

But immediately, I heard Du Junqing say: "Of course, if anyone really tears their faces and stands on the opposite side of the martial arts family and fights side by side with Ben Hou, after the matter is completed, Ben Hou will give them a Mo knife." ”

Oh, my God!

As soon as they heard this, the people who originally wanted to leave raised their heads in surprise.

Not to mention those who are still hesitating. As soon as they heard that they were going to be given a Mo Dao, they instantly forgot about the difficulties of the martial arts, and they were full of thoughts that they were all Mo Dao Mo Dao!

It must be known that under the leadership of Du Junqing, the sword-casting masters of Yongxin County improved the Mo sword, and it was completely finalized at the end of the previous year. The new Mo knife was sent to the empress, and after the evaluation of Qianniuwei and many masters, it was determined that the weight was lighter and easier to use than the previous Mo knife, so it also began to be mass-produced here with the consent of the empress.

This news has long been known to the world. As long as there are soldiers in their hands, there is no one who does not salivate over this batch of Mo knives!

It's just that the casting time of the Mo knife is long, and the casting technology must also be refined, and it will take more than a year to create a good Mo knife, even after it is improved. Therefore, the Mo knife in Yongxing County still only exists in legends, and it has not been taken out to meet the public for a long time.

However, when they came to transport arrows and other weapons, they were also repeatedly asked by Shangfeng to come and observe the Mo Dao here to see if the things were so good. If it's true, then you must set the next batch, even if you grab it, you have to grab it!

When they came here, they really saw a lot of Mo knives that had just been cast. Those sword-forging masters didn't hide it, and they happily handed over the Mo knife to them to play with. They're addicted to playing this game, and I really can't wait to bring this Mo knife back now!

Of course, that's impossible. Therefore, they could only have a good time, and then watched as the sword-forging masters took the Mo Dao back and gave it to the next group of people to play with.

Because of this, they have been itching in their hearts, and they have already made up their minds - just wait to go back, they will explain the matter clearly to Shangfeng, and let Shangfeng quickly send someone over to ask for this batch of new Modao, the more they want, the better!

This batch of Mo knives is really easy to use, at least after they wielded it in their hands and slashed it a few times, they really felt that it was much easier to use than the old ones in the barracks.

It's just that the output of Mo knives in Yongxing County is limited, and they all know that they don't need much in the end. So now, when I heard Du Junqing actually say that as long as they participated in the fight against Yangxin County, they could send a Mo knife! One can imagine how tempting this is for these people.

After saying this, Du Junqing didn't say anything more, only waved his hand: "Think about it!" Ben Hou never does what is difficult for strong people. ”

Then, he took the little lady from Gu Caiwei's arms, and then pulled Gu Caiwei up, and the three of them went into the sword casting room together.

Although there is no water source to practice iron, these sword-forging masters are not idle. Everyone is maintaining their tools in the swordsmithing room and putting the finishing touches on the weapons that have already been crafted, which is also important work.

Du Junqing went to see them one by one and greeted them before coming to Fufengzi's sword-casting room.

When they walked inside, they saw that Du Yi was wearing a pair of pants, and he was kneeling on the ground bare-chested, slashing the newly beaten Mo knife.

Fu Fengzi sat on the chair next to him, drinking tea and supervising his work.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Fu Fengzi just lifted his eyelids casually, then withdrew his gaze, and then kicked Du Yi: "I did something wrong again!" How did I teach you? ”

"Yes, I know!" Du Yi nodded hurriedly, grinding more carefully on the blade.

Du Junqing's eyes suddenly turned cold.

Although he had long expected that his son would not have a good life under Fufengzi. However, this guy actually abused his son so much in front of him, which made him very unhappy.

Du Junqing walked forward quickly: "Fufengzi, Ben Hou has something to say to you." ”

"Daddy!"

Du Yi reacted at this time, he quickly raised his head happily, and when he saw Gu Caiwei and the little lady, his whole face began to shine because of excitement.

But Fufengzi shouted: "Do your thing well!" ”

Du Yi shuddered, hurriedly lowered his head, and honestly waited for the Mo knife in his hand.

Du Junqing's eyes were even colder, but Fu Fengzi smiled at him ruthlessly: "Why, Master Hou saw me teach the prince so unceremoniously, you feel distressed?" Then if I tell you that I did this to him in the past days, and every time he makes a mistake and gets worse, then wouldn't you feel even more distressed? ”

Du Junqing stared at him coldly for a long time before he spoke slowly: "Distress is distress, but he has indeed grown up a lot under your teaching, which means that you have taught well, not messy." ”

"Yo?" Fu Fengzi raised his eyebrows, "I haven't seen you for two years, Changning Hou, you have gained a lot!" You're not angry when I'm so irritating you. ”

Du Junqing only hooked the corners of his mouth, then looked away from Du Yi, and asked Fu Fengzi seriously about the situation in front of him.

Since this dismount didn't scare him, Fufengzi didn't toss around. He thought about it for a while and took the initiative to say to Du Junqing: "The matter of water pollution is indeed very serious, but fortunately, it is not long, if it is stopped as soon as possible, everything is still in time." So...... Master Hou, are you planning to make a move? ”

"Of course." Du Jun cleared his head.

Fu Fengzi's eyes sparkled in an instant. "I wonder what you're going to do? Do you have a hard time with the samurai? Or do you directly send people to surround the mountains in Yangxin County and tie up all their people? ”

"You guessed it, that's exactly what I was going to do." Du Junqing nodded and said.

"That's good! In that case, let me recommend you someone! Fufengzi smiled.

Du Junqing looked at him quietly, and saw Fu Fengzi beckoning to Du Yi: "Apprentice, come here, take your Mo knife." ”

Du Yi looked dazed, but he still obediently came over with a Mo knife. "Master, what do you command?"

Du Junqing's eyes also narrowed slightly. "Fufengzi, what do you mean by that?"

"He's the one I'm going to recommend to you!" Fu Fengzi said with a smile, "I have been training this apprentice for more than two years, and I think I have made a little progress. It's a pity that Yongxing County is remote, and we have been living in this place, and there is no one else who can fight against him except Ayuan. But after a long time, they didn't have fun fighting. So it's just right, take advantage of this opportunity now, let him practice his hands! ”

Du Junqing's eyebrows tightened and he didn't speak.

Gu Caiwei's careful liver couldn't help but beat faster for a while before she spoke: "Brother, are you planning to let Ah Yi take the knife into battle?" How old is he! ”

"Not small, he'll be eleven years old soon." Fu Fengzi said, "When I was twelve years old, I had already followed Master to travel the world, and I was used to seeing bloody storms, didn't you still say that this should be done after hearing about it?" So why do you change your attitude now that it's your child's turn? ”

Belch......

Gu Caiwei was stunned, and she realized that this was really the case!

The children of the rivers and lakes, the people who have traveled all over the world before the age of ten do not know how many, and they are also used to such a rhythm. But now it's Du Yi's turn...... I don't know what's going on, although this kid has grown tall and strong now, Gu Caiwei always treats him as the little bean that has no two meats at the beginning, and always feels that he is still a child. So now when she heard that Fu Fengzi wanted him to carry a knife into battle, her first reaction was reluctance.

But now......

She slowly turned to Du Junqing. "Then let Ah Yi try it! He has been practicing for so many years, and it is indeed time to find a place to practice it. ”

Du Junqing looked at her. "Do you think it's possible?"

"Yes, yes! Daddy, just let me go! Before Gu Caiwei could speak, Du Yi, who heard them talking about this matter, couldn't help but take the initiative to ask.

A teenager is at the time when his blood is boiling, and now that the ready-made opportunity is in front of him, where can he endure it?

Look at his inexplicable little appearance of excitement, and the strength to pick up a Mo knife with one hand...... What else can Du Junqing say?

He nodded. "If you want to go, you can go."

"Great! Thank you, Daddy, thank you, thank you, Master! Du Yi was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked the elders in front of him.

Seeing him laughing so happily, the little lady giggled too. She also waved her little hand and stretched out to her brother, wanting him to hug him.

Du Yi didn't play enough with her yesterday. Now that he saw the soft little sister taking the initiative to give him a hug, he was even more excited, and he didn't even care about the Mo knife in his hand, so he was about to reach out and take the person over. Unexpectedly, a hand suddenly stretched out halfway and snatched the little lady away.

"Master, what are you doing?" Du Yi shouted.

Fu Fengzi glanced at him coldly: "Yesterday, you left the mine without permission and absconded for half a day, and you haven't finished the punishment I gave you, and now you still have the heart to have fun?" Are you really dead as a master? Now, get back to work for me! ”

Du Yibian flattened his mouth, but still squatted back obediently.

Fufengzi also immediately turned around, and also stretched out his fingers to pinch the little lady's little face, and the little lady grabbed his hand and stuffed it into her mouth and bit it hard!

Fu Fengzi snorted and nodded to Gu Caiwei. "You little lady has pretty sharp teeth, it's fun! Interesting! ”

His daughter, why should she play with this person? Du Junqing was very unhappy, and he immediately stretched out his hand. "Give me my daughter back!"

"Don't give it!" Fufengzi replied confidently.

Du Junqing almost died of anger.

Seeing this, Gu Caiwei couldn't help but drop a few black lines on her forehead.

Fortunately, not long after the two men confronted each other, Du Ren walked in.

"Master Hou, those military people came to you, and they said they had thought about it."

"After thinking about it, just say the answer, why should I come forward?" Du Jun said coldly.

He's in a bad mood right now, and he doesn't want to be false with those people anymore.

Du Ren also said: "Except for the two who withdrew, everyone else agreed." ”

That's good news.

The corners of Du Junqing's lips hooked. "Really? That's good. ”

Then, he turned back and stretched out his hand to Fufengzi: "Give me back my daughter!" ”

Fufengzi had no choice but to return the little lady to him.

Du Junqing immediately took his wife and daughter and turned around and left.

Ou Shenzi is next door to Fufuzi. Hearing that Fu Fengzi was going to send his apprentice to participate in the battle to besiege Yangxin County, he was not to be outdone, and immediately sent Gu Tianyuan over.

Du Junqing naturally accepted the person.

Next, it's time to count the manpower, assign the troops, and strategize.

It's just that...... Soon, someone found out that something was wrong: "Changning Hou, there is still a piece of the left road and the main road, why is there a piece missing?" ”

"It's not that it's missing, it's that there are still people who haven't come." Du Junqing said.

"Really? Did you even hire a helper? ”

"I didn't invite it, someone else took the initiative to help." Du Jun smiled indifferently.

In the evening, another team of people appeared in the mine.

"I am waiting for the order of Princess Taiping, and I have come to listen to the dispatch of the Marquis of Changning!"

A resounding sentence also caused an uproar in the mine in an instant.

Princess Taiping!

Although she knew that Gu Caiwei had a relationship with Princess Taiping, Princess Taiping directly sent people to them for use...... This is still far beyond their understanding.

Seeing this, the people in the armies of the remaining parties saw this, and a stone they pressed in their hearts fell to the ground - with Princess Taiping to help, they would be much more relieved to do things next, and they could completely let go of their hands!

As for the two teams that were scared away...... When they learned the news afterwards, they could only regret their mistakes.

That night, the mines in Yongxing County were brightly lit, and everyone barely slept all night.

It's the same in Yangxin County.

The news that Changning Hou Du Junqing came to Yongxing County, they naturally knew it as soon as possible. Even in the evening, Princess Taiping sent people to support them, and the news then reached the ears of these people.

Today, the mine in Yangxin County is Wu Chongcao, the youngest son of Wu Sansi. He also quickly summoned all the people: "The person surnamed Du actually united with Aunt Taiping to deal with us. However, he is just a marquis, and he is only thinking of bringing people, carrying their new weapons to scare and scare us, so you don't need to panic. We just need to ignore them and let them wander outside. I don't believe they can do anything! ”

Having said that, he carefully dispatched his men to all parts of the mine, guarded every important place, and then he went to sleep with peace of mind.

The autumn nights were a little hot and dry, but fortunately the mountain breeze was cool, and he slept well. He even had a dream that Du Junqing came to Yangxin County with a mighty crowd, surrounded them, and kept saying cruel words, forcing them to swear not to discharge sewage directly into the ditch. But he was unyielding and refused to nod his head.

The two sides confronted each other for a whole day and night, and in the end, Du Junqing was defeated, lowered his posture and began to beg him to let them go. After all, he, the position of the marquis, can sit so steadily, but it all depends on this mine. If the mine can no longer forge weapons, then everything he has worked so hard to manage will be ruined, and the empress will no longer protect him!

It was easy to wait for the moment when Du Junqing lowered his head and compromised, he only felt comfortable and was about to laugh out loud. Then he was awakened.

When he opened his eyes and saw the brilliant morning sun shining in from the window, he roared impatiently: "Who doesn't have long eyes, woke up Lao Tzu early in the morning?" ”

"Xiao Langjun, get up quickly! The Marquis of Changning has already brought someone to kill him! The little guy was about to pull him up from the bed.

Wu Chongcao looked displeased. "What if he kills him? If you have the ability, you let him kill all my people, and then come and kill me! ”

"Xiao Langjun, that's exactly what they did!" The little guy said in a trembling voice.

Wu Chongcao was stunned for a moment. "What do you say? What did they do? Tell me again! ”

"Xiao Langjun, as soon as it was dawn early this morning, the Marquis of Changning came over with someone and bluntly said that he wanted to see you. The little one told him that you were busy and didn't have time to pay attention to him, and then he said, 'Since Wu Langjun is not available, then Benhou has to create a little free for him', and then, the person behind him raised his knife and directly began to slash and kill! ”

The little guy thought about Fang Cai's situation, and he was still trembling: "The knives in their hands are so powerful!" It's so long, so big, and when you cut it down, you can cut it in half. Some people hurriedly raised their knives to resist, but the knives were cut off at once, and then people were not spared. Even the teenage Xiao Langjun, they also danced the knife vigorously, and killed all the people we arranged outside! ”

Even if he didn't see that picture, but hearing the little guy say this, Wu Chongcao was also frightened.

"Is it really that powerful? You didn't make it up on purpose to lie to me, did you? ”

"Xiao Langjun, if you don't believe it, you can go and see for yourself." The little servant said, pulled him up again, and walked out.

Wu Chongcao only had time to put on his coat and went outside.

Because he was besieged by the people last time, Wu Chonglie has a shadow. Later, Wu Chongcao came here, and he learned the lessons of the previous experience, and directly built the mansion on the mountain behind him, and sent many people around to guard it, so as to ensure that even if something happened, he could observe the movement under the mountain for the first time, and then give orders to let his subordinates solve these people.

Now, with this favorable terrain, he was immediately stopped by the mountains of corpses and blood at a glance.

And in this sea of blood, there are many people holding a big knife in their hands that grows much longer than a person, and the blade reflects a cold light in the early morning sun, mixed with the blood that slowly flows down from the tip of the knife, which inexplicably makes people's blood boil, but they are cold.

Those people ran in this direction, and whenever they encountered someone who dared to confront them, they would directly slash at them. Sure enough, as the little guy said, one knife at a time, it was like chopping melons, and the people around him were scared, and many people directly dropped their weapons and ran away.

And in this group of people, the one who rushed to the forefront was a young man with immature eyebrows. Don't look at his tall stature, but look at his face, you can know that he is not very old, certainly no more than twelve years old. But such a little Langjun has obviously become the leader of many people behind him, and those people are following them!

And just when he noticed this person, this person also happened to raise his head, so that he couldn't die and made eye contact with him.

Then, this little Langjun grinned at him, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

And the big knife in his hand also swayed left and right with his movements, and Wu Chonglie looked at it from a distance, and could find that a small whirlwind rolled up on the tip of the knife as they danced. The fierce murderous aura came to his face, and he could barely breathe.

"This thing...... This thing is ...... Mo knife! ”

Wu Chong's heart trembled, and he blurted out.

Yongxing County's improved Mo knife has really been made, and it has already produced so much!

And now, their martial arts family has become a tool for sacrificing knives when the Mo knife in Yongxing County was born!
