Chapter 73: Demon Shadow Yanzhou City
Du Chengfeng remembered clearly that the relationship between him and Liu Yanran, the commander of the Jizhou Army, could only be regarded as a cooperative relationship.
Liu Yanran opened the Jizhou arsenal to him, so that he could sharpen his knife and increase his strength, and his side could be regarded as temporarily filling the vacancy of Wang Gaocheng, the head of Jizhou's ordnance, to provide a boost for Jizhou's preparation work - and this supplement can only be regarded as temporary, he did not agree to Liu Yanran's solicitation, this job can only be regarded as outsourcing at best.
But that's what he thinks here, but Liu Yanran thinks differently.
"In other words, Liu Dudu recommended me to the imperial court in his name?"
After coming to the official office, Du Chengfeng couldn't help but be dumbfounded after learning all the reasons for the incident.
Liu Dudu never gave up the idea of soliciting him at all, but had the idea of getting on the bus first and then making up the ticket.
Let him do the work first, and at the same time send a letter of recommendation to the court, according to his understanding of Liu Yanran, if he can't wait for the letter of recommendation to reply, Liu Yanran is afraid that he will start to fight with the north - when the time comes, the frontier is in danger, and the matter is urgent, and the court of Dachen can only pinch his nose and recognize this letter of recommendation.
And Du Chengfeng's own side, when the real war broke out, he was ordered in danger, and naturally he couldn't find any reason to shirk it, so he could only follow Liu Dudu all the way to the dark.
Well, the idea is very full, at least in Du Chengfeng's opinion, this operation is really likely to trap him.
The only problem is that Liu Yanran died too early.
According to the time, I am afraid that not long after the recommendation letter was issued, this Liu Yanran was hacked to death by Na Xi Qing because of the decline in strength because of staying up late every day.
And this solicitation plan naturally failed.
Or rather, only part of it was done.
"Why don't you ask for another master."
Du Chengfeng wanted to run away when he arrived, but he didn't want to accept Liu Yanran's favor - not to mention that he didn't want to have much contact with mental illness in the first place, just talking about the position of Jizhou Ordnance Chief, he didn't want to take it.
Just, although he doesn't know what tricks he is, and he doesn't know what to do, even if he only looks at the two goods in Jizhou, he can produce something.
A Liu Yanran, there is some mental problem. A Wang Gaocheng is directly a bastard. Can you come up with such two things to put them on the frontier, is this Dachen Chaotang still good?
"I still have something to do, let's not talk about it yet, there is still water boiling on the stove at home."
"Oops! Don't be too busy! Besides, where did you come from when you first arrived? ”
Seeing that Du Chengfeng was leaving, a group of officials hurriedly grabbed him, and they didn't let him go.
"There's no need to resign! What a good treatment this armoryman has! Not only do you have a lot of money to get every month, but there is also a special place for you to live in this Yanzhou City......
"Huh? Still divided into rooms? ”
Du Chengfeng was not sleepy when he landed.
And after these officials explained, Du Chengfeng also knew that the treatment of the ordnance chief here in Yanzhou was really good, not only did he have a lot of money every month, but he could also get a set of two-entry courtyards in the city for nothing - the so-called gate does not go out, and the second gate does not step, which is the courtyard of these two entrances. Not to mention living in him alone, even if he lives in a large family, it is more than enough.
With a salary and a good place to live, it seems that this job is okay?
Of course, the most important thing is that he can also sharpen his knives.
Jibei's experience has made Du Chengfeng understand that compared to things outside the body such as money, his own strength is the most important - if it is the other way around, he will be like the Yang family, with thousands of family wealth, and in the end he had to leave his hometown, and even almost died in the war.
For Du Chengfeng, the fastest way to improve his strength is naturally to sharpen his knife.
Although killing people is another way to quickly increase your strength, that route is not safe after all. If he kills too much, his own state will also be affected, and he will gradually lose his mind and turn into an inhuman monster like Su Xiqing. What's more, if you really continue to kill like this, it is likely to lead to more troublesome things.
After all, he still remembered that there were terrifying monsters in this world that were three meters tall and could even catch the evil blade with their bare hands.
"What's more, before Su Xiqing, no one had ever discovered that killing people could make you stronger?"
Du Chengfeng shook his head secretly, this kind of thing that can be experienced as long as he kills a few people, and then strengthens his will under the invasion of evil qi, there is no reason why it will become Su Xiqing's exclusive secret.
So the question is, since many people know that killing people can become stronger, why is it such a simple way, but he hasn't heard of how many people do it?
Is it just because you don't like it?
"Hmmm......"
Due to the lack of information, Du Chengfeng couldn't guess the result, but his intuition told him that this was a dangerous direction.
In contrast, improving one's strength by sharpening one's knives is a sure-fire deal.
"So I have one last question for you."
After determining that this job was suitable for him, Du Chengfeng expressed his last doubts.
"I'm a Jizhou ordnance chief, why would Yanzhou give me a room?"
"This ......"
A few little officials, you look at me, I look at you, and I am speechless for a long time.
It wasn't until Du Chengfeng clenched his fists and was about to hit him that these little officials told the truth.
It turned out that before he came, there was also an ordnance chief here in Yanzhou, but not long ago, the news of the destruction of Jizhen City came, and the ordnance chief simply resigned and ran away.
"Originally, there was a grinder on the Raider's side, and he was going to let him top it, but he ran faster......"
"Huh?"
Du Chengfeng was speechless for a long time.
Good guy, it's okay for the two capable of working to run away, no wonder the treatment given to him is so good, and the co-author is ready to use him to top the cylinder?
But...... That's not a bad thing for him.
If it were someone else, these two jobs might mean a lot of pressure, but for him, it was an opportunity to sharpen his knives from one to two.
Being able to grow his strength, why should he refuse?
"That's great!"
The officials couldn't help but bow their hands to Du Chengfeng again and again.
"Then let's start with the damage to the arsenal and ordnance!"
“…… Will you wait? ”
Du Chengfeng suddenly had a sense of foreboding.
"That's what I do?"
After asking these officials, Du Chengfeng knew that this was really the scope of his work as an ordnance chief. Or rather, it was the most troublesome mess left by his predecessor - to put it simply, because the Yanzhou Ordnance Commander ran away too early, there began to be some changes in the Yanzhou arsenal, but unlike Jizhou, the Yanzhou arsenal was not because of any battle flag.
In Yanzhou's arsenal, from time to time, the blades of the entire treasury will turn into tattered scrap metal, and the evil qi on those blades will disappear with it.
According to the descriptions of the minor, the traces left on the tattered blades looked like they had been gnawed by something.
"This ......"
Du Chengfeng was speechless for a long time.
It's no wonder that Jizhou is about to hit the brains, but Yanzhou next door has no movement at all, and the co-authors are not necessarily because they don't want to send troops, but the arsenal is directly rotten.
And the things in Yanzhou City are not only these.
"If you're going to stay in the city, it's best not to go out at night."
A small official approached and lowered his voice.
"There have been monsters in the city recently, and more than a dozen people have been eaten, and the monsters don't spit out bones when they eat meat, so big that a living person gnaws so much that only one head remains......"
“…… And youkai? ”
Du Chengfeng inexplicably remembered Su Xiqing and the posture of the other party's flesh and blood monster bird.
He suddenly could understand why all the brains had been typed out on the Jizhou side, but there was no movement at all on the Yanzhou side.
Just because this Yanzhou City has survived until now, I am afraid it can already be regarded as a miracle.
