Chapter 34 Solicitation
Under Yang Xuan's recommendation, Du Chengfeng, who returned to the courtyard, also met the grinder surnamed Wang, and Liu Dudu, who came all the way.
is different from Du Chengfeng's imagination, whether it is Liu Dudu or the grinder surnamed Wang, there is almost no military temperament on him. Although both of them wore swords, just looking at their wide robes and big sleeves, they obviously looked more like literati with scrolls in their hands than military generals.
There are five locks of clear beards on the white face, which is obviously carefully groomed, and the two sides are separated by three steps, and Du Chengfeng can vaguely smell a faint fragrance.
His own yard knew that this aroma was obviously not from his side.
Such a dilapidated courtyard is naturally incompatible with these two personable people like immortals, but the two of them don't mind too much, just sitting there, making half of the room look brilliant.
This couldn't help but make Du Chengfeng and Yang Xuan subconsciously glance at each other.
Compared with the two people in front of him who can see the dignitaries at a glance, they can't see what they are dressed in at the moment, Yang Xuan is okay, he looks old with crutches, he can be regarded as a rural farmer, and Du Chengfeng, who is wearing an old robe, is simply a homeless person at a glance.
Just looking at the dress, there is already a clear distinction between the two of them and these two nobles.
"You are Du Chengfeng? I've heard of you. ”
Just when Du Chengfeng was secretly frowning, Liu Dudu spoke.
"You can sharpen knives?"
"Yes."
Du Chengfeng nodded lightly, 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 promote his reputation before, so that more Jizhou swordsmen would come to him to sharpen their knives, and there was no reason why Liu Dudu, who was in charge of the entire Jizhou, would not know anything about him.
So this Liu Dudu came in person, is it to solicit?
"Since you have the ability to sharpen your blades, do you want to come to my tent to listen to orders?"
Just when Du Chengfeng thought of this, Liu Dudu in front of him really spoke.
But Du Chengfeng shook his head.
Relying on the Jizhou Governor's Mansion, he was indeed able to borrow a huge force, but this meeting always made Du Chengfeng feel faintly uncomfortable. Although Liu Dudu did look like a corporal of Lixian, and his style of speech was like a spring breeze, Du Chengfeng was still faintly aware of the undetectable sense of alienation.
Since it's not a family, it's better not to enter the door.
After all, a teammate who doesn't work well with a good opponent often has more serious consequences than a clever opponent.
"Liu Dudu said with a smile, isn't there already a grinder in the army? I'm still far from this little bit of craftsmanship, so I won't go to the camp to cause trouble. ”
Talking modestly, Du Chengfeng had already pushed this matter out, anyway, he already knew the level of Jizhen soldiers, and this war was destined to be a battle for him alone.
And Liu Dudu didn't care, just followed Du Chengfeng's words, and continued.
"Since we talked about the grinder, then you should already know that I came this time, first, to let you serve in the army, and second, to break the horse long knife."
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 hold it, but the original knife owner Liu Qingyun had a meritorious service in suppressing horse thieves and loved knives, so the Governor's Mansion simply turned a blind eye, which can be regarded as a reward for Liu Qingyun's suppression of horse thieves - but now that Liu Qingyun is dead, this long knife that can be counted as a military weapon can naturally not continue to wander among the people.
"And the other reason is a personal matter."
With that, the grinder, surnamed Wang, arched his hand to the south.
"When Liu Qingyun was still alive, he made a special trip to Yanzhou and asked my teacher Ruan Shantao to grind this long knife.
"Hmmm......"
Du Chengfeng couldn't help but fall silent.
The so-called secret of the teacher's inheritance, he could probably guess some, maybe to prevent other grinders from reversing the grinding technique through the grinding marks on the knife?
Then he can only say that what this peer surnamed Wang is worried about is indeed reasonable, after all, he has already copied the set of methods for studying and sharpening his knives - although due to environmental problems, he has not been able to completely reproduce it, but he has also memorized the whole process.
But even so, he still can't give this long knife of broken horses.
Su Xiqing didn't know when it would come, and every time he had an extra blade, he would have more combat power. What's more, the long knife of the broken horse was also different from the ancestral sword of the Yang family that he was used to, and the exaggerated length of five feet could greatly make up for his disadvantage when facing the Hu cavalry charging on horseback.
After all, this knife is called a broken horse, and this thing is aimed at this.
However, if you refuse directly, it is obviously a little inappropriate, the other party has brought the teacher out, and if he refuses to say anything else, it is inevitable that he will be suspected of coveting other people's craftsmanship.
So after thinking for a moment, Du Chengfeng simply took out the big axe that was obtained from Su Xixuan.
"I can understand your feelings, but I've been in trouble lately...... Or rather, the entire Jizhou will soon face a disaster. ”
With that, Du Chengfeng pushed the axe forward.
"You're also a grinder, and after reading this, you should know what I'm talking about."
"This pattern...... It is the style of the Prairie Royal Court. ”
The grinder surnamed Wang did not have bad eyesight, and he could see the origin of this big axe at a glance.
But just when Du Chengfeng was happy to think that they could understand each other, the grinder surnamed Wang glanced at him suspiciously.
"So what does this have to do with the misfortune you are talking about? Just with this Huren-style axe? ”
"Huh?"
Du Chengfeng couldn't help but be stunned.
"You can't see anything?"
"What can be seen from this?"
Hearing Du Chengfeng actually say this, the face of the grinder surnamed Wang was already a little unhappy.
"You're not entertaining me!"
"This ......"
Du Chengfeng was speechless for a long time.
Originally, he thought that he could see the experience of this blade by grinding the blade on his side, so the other grinders would naturally be the same, and everyone was no different.
But now it seems...... Doesn't that seem to be the case?
"Nonsense!"
Hearing Du Chengfeng's self-defense, the grinder surnamed Wang shook his head again and again.
"My Wang has read the books of sages for more than 30 years, and I don't know tens of thousands of blades in my hands, but I haven't heard of it, and who else can see the past experience of this blade just by the gap in the blade."
Saying this, the grinder surnamed Wang simply pulled out the saber on his waist and threw it in front of Du Chengfeng.
"Since you said that you have this ability, then you should 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's not because he doesn't want to prove his statement by sharpening his knife, but mainly because there is no trace of evil at all on the sword in front of him.
In other words, this sword has never killed anyone at all.
There was no murder and blood, this sword did not need to be sharpened from the beginning, and the grinder surnamed Wang threw such a sword to him to entertain him.
So, do you want to kill?
Du Chengfeng's hand had already unconsciously touched the handle of the axe.
The distance between the two sides was less than three steps, and it only took a dragon-shaped big split to open up the grinder surnamed Wang, and as for that Liu Dudu, even if he got up and fled as quickly as possible, he was still within the range of his tiger leap.
What's more, compared to his current outfit, the wide robes and big sleeves of these two people are not conducive to fighting, and if he really moves, he can cut off two heads in one breath.
And for him, all it takes is a raised hand......
"Mr. Wang, I think you're a little embarrassed for this strong man."
Just when the crimson blood had gradually climbed into Du Chengfeng's eyes, Liu Dudu, who had not spoken for a long time, stood up, picked up the sword, and looked up and down.
"You have never seen blood in this sword, and you don't need to polish it at all, how can this strong man sharpen it?"
"Governor, he was the first to speak out."
The grinder surnamed Wang shrunk his neck, but he still argued with reason.
"I just...... Ho, ho, ho. ”
Before he finished speaking, the grinder surnamed Wang suddenly couldn't make a sound, leaving only a large mouthful of blood foaming out of his throat, which soon dyed the wide robe and sleeves bright red.
It's just that the sword he just threw out has already stabbed him in the neck.
Drawing his long sword, Liu Dudu allowed the body of the grinder to fall to the ground like garbage, without even looking at it.
Then he reversed the hilt of the sword and handed the blood-stained long sword to Du Chengfeng.
"Come, strong man, this sword has killed blood, and now it can be sharpened."
