Liu Dudu, who commanded Jizhou, Du Chengfeng knew this person.

Like Liu Qingyun, who was a well-known swordsman before, Liu Dudu only acted as a background board when people chatted most of the time, but as a big man who led the entire Jizhou, Liu Dudu's status was much higher than Liu Qingyun.

This can also be seen from Liu Qingyun's life, he may talk about Liu Dudu between words, but he has never really met Liu Dudu himself.

In the final analysis, no matter how famous a swordsman is, he is only a swordsman, and if he wants to enter the Governor's Mansion, it is still too bad after all.

But if Liu Qingyun can't do it, it doesn't mean that Du Chengfeng can't do it.

After all, in the process of sharpening his knife, he had already learned that this time the Hu people went south, not an ordinary raid, but a full-scale war launched by the Khan in the depths of the steppe, with the Qingyang Department as the vanguard army. These grassland warriors who survived in the bitter cold of Mobei will do whatever it takes to seize the warm land in the south, and it is at this time that the Qingyang Department has a terrifying general like Su Xiqing who has almost no shortcomings.

There is no doubt that this is an extremely important military situation, if this information is handed over to Governor Liu, maybe the other party can really arrange troops in advance, set up an ambush, and give Na Xi Xuan, and even the Qingyang Department behind him, a head-on attack.

However, although this idea is good, when it comes to practice, Du Chengfeng still feels that he will encounter a lot of difficulties.

Like, like now.

"What? You said the Hu people were coming? ”

The next day, Du Chengfeng got up early in the morning, and after rushing all the way to the Jizhen Governor's Mansion, the soldiers guarding the door stopped him.

"Okay, I know, you can go back, Liu Dudu will send troops to save you when he turns around."

Obviously, the guards at the gate didn't take Du Chengfeng's words seriously at all, as for the reason, it was because there was too much similar information - Jizhou is located on the border, and the grassland is in the north, and things like the grassland people going south to loot are hundreds of cases every year, even if there are not thousands. More than a dozen Hu people rode on horses and dared to run over to grab things, anyway, they had no belongings left with only one rotten life, in the face of this endless attack, no matter how much the Governor's Mansion sent troops to support, it could not catch up with the speed of the Hu people's looting.

It is precisely because of this that there will be strongmen like the Yang family in some villages in Jizhou, after all, if everyone does not engage in this kind of self-protection behavior, just pointing to the Governor's Mansion to send troops to save their lives, then when these soldiers arrive, everyone will have died on the ground.

However, after the villages and towns under its jurisdiction formed villages to protect themselves, the Governor's Mansion was idle, unless there was intelligence that could confirm that it was the Hu army that pressed the border, otherwise the Governor's Mansion was also willing to let villages and towns like Yangjiabao organize resistance on their own, so as to reduce some of the burden on the Governor's Mansion.

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

"This is the axe left by the Hu general who attacked Yangjiabao not long ago, Su Xixuan of the Qingyang Department."

As he said this, Du Chengfeng untied the coarse cloth wrapped around the blade of the axe.

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

"This ......"

Just by glancing at the axe, the two soldiers guarding in front of the Governor's Mansion subconsciously retreated half a step.

And after Du Chengfeng handed over the axe, the two guards didn't dare to connect.

As soldiers, they have been in contact with the blade for many years, and they can't see how dangerous this big axe is.

"You wait here, let's go in and report!"

The two soldiers rushed into the Governor's Mansion as if they had fled, which couldn't help but make Du Chengfeng frown.

Originally, Du Chengfeng thought that since this Liu Dudu was in charge of Jizhen as a border, he must be an iron-blooded general, and such a character, his soldiers, naturally would not be far behind-but at least as far as he saw at the moment, these two soldiers guarding the door of the Governor's Mansion looked like ordinary family members, and even a big axe could scare them into fleeing in embarrassment.

This psychological tolerance is also too poor, not even as good as Carpenter Li, you must know that Carpenter Li asked him last night after he got drunk, can he pour this axe over the wine, so that he can take it back to cut wood.

From this point of view, it is likely that the Governor's Mansion will not be able to count on it. If the soldiers under the command of Liu Dudu are all of this level, then it is difficult to say whether these people can be counted as combat strength after they are assembled, or whether they will be counted as the resources for Xi Qing to improve his strength.

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

Liu Dudu was not in the palace, and so were the grinders, who, according to the two soldiers, rode out early in the morning.

It's hard to say whether this is the real thing, or whether the two soldiers deliberately used it to prevaricate him, but since he already knew that he couldn't see that Liu Dudu, Du Chengfeng had no interest in continuing to stay in Jizhen.

It is better to seek others than to seek yourself, rather than like Liu Qingyun, pinning your hopes on other aspects and dying in the end, it is better to polish yourself with the methods you have recently learned.

Although it may not be possible to win, even if you die, you may be able to die a heroic battle.

So, leading the horse out of Jizhen, Du Chengfeng turned over and 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 Yang Xuan, the old man in charge of Yangjiabao, was standing at the door of his small courtyard at the moment.

"What's the matter?"

Du Chengfeng turned over and dismounted, looking puzzled.

"Did you bring me a new knife again?"

"It's not a new knife, it's an old knife...... Hey, that's not right, strong man, let's take a step to speak first. ”

I saw that Yang Xuan hesitated for a while, and finally pulled Du Chengfeng aside.

And Du Chengfeng also knew what was going on.

It's really about the old knife, the thing about the long knife that broke the horse yesterday. After Liu Qingyun was killed by a sword in the duel before, Yang Xuan almost immediately bought this broken horse long knife in the hands of Liu Qingyun's family and took it to Du Chengfeng's side.

Du Chengfeng reaped the opportunity to sharpen his blades and sharpen his knives, and the Yang family of Jizhou also reaped Du Chengfeng's friendship, which was a win-win situation.

But herein lies the problem.

"I also found out last night that the grinder master of the Governor's Mansion actually took a fancy to the long knife of the broken horse."

Speaking of this, the old Yang Xuan couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat on his forehead.

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

"In other words, you want me to face you, right?"

Du Chengfeng immediately heard the off-string sounds between Yang Xuan's words, but he didn't feel bored.

Anyway, he has always sharpened his knife alone, and it was when he wanted to communicate with his peers, and now because of this broken horse long knife, he just had this opportunity.

"Make an appointment, I'll talk to him."

"There's no need to make an appointment."

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

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