Chapter 74: Murder Night
After leaving the official office, Du Chengfeng did not rush to the two-entry courtyard assigned to him, but prepared to go back and meet with the villagers in Yangjiabao first.
Things have become delicate, and this Yanzhou City is far from being as peaceful as it seems on the surface. If the accident in the Yanzhou arsenal is acceptable, then the incident of monsters in the city really touched Du Chengfeng's sensitive nerves.
can be called a monster, it must be an inhuman existence, and when it comes to inhuman, the first thing he thinks of is naturally the flesh and blood monster bird - and after the battle in Jizhou, he has also understood that this inhuman mutation is a by-product of excessive evil qi entering the body.
After becoming a monster, you will lose your mind, and even gradually forget your identity as a human being, which Du Chengfeng has personally experienced, which is not a good thing.
But on the other hand, after becoming a monster, you can completely let go of the boundaries and quickly become stronger just by killing people and eating people.
"I'm already crazy anyway, so it doesn't matter if I'm crazy more, right......"
Du Chengfeng probably guessed the operation logic of this kind of monster, obviously, becoming a monster is not good for the parties concerned, but for the people around, it can be called a catastrophe.
Whether it's Jizhou or Yanzhou.
Or the Youzhou he once knew.
The matter of the Youzhou arsenal, he still listened to what Liu Yanran said, and he was also curious at that time, it was just the sword and soldier evil qi that broke out in the arsenal, and it was just a Youzhou Governor who was just a demonic Governor who was in the body, how could he kill half of the entire Youzhou population - but after fighting with Su Xiqing who turned into a monster in person, Du Chengfeng knew that only killing half of the Youzhou population might be the result of the Youzhou Governor trying his best to maintain restraint.
Du Chengfeng, who had fought with Su Xiqing, knew very well how powerful this monster was, to put it mildly, if no one cared about it, it would not only be a state that would fall into disaster, but even several surrounding states would be in a catastrophe.
Fortunately, this kind of monster can still be managed by someone after all.
The monsters of Youzhou were defeated by the Grassland Royal Court, although I don't know what means the grassland people in Mobei used, but Youzhou has long been under the control of the grassland people. The monster in Jizhou was killed by Du Chengfeng himself, and under their battle, the entire Jizhou was almost beaten into white ground.
And Yanzhou's side......
"In short, don't live in the city, just run."
Gathering Carpenter Li, Old Man Yang, and a few representatives of various families who could speak, Du Chengfeng probably expressed his judgment.
"Yanzhou is not very safe, and I always feel that the matter of the arsenal has something to do with this so-called monster...... Of course, this is just my personal feeling, but if this is the case, Yanzhou is probably more dangerous than Jizhou. ”
"This ......"
The villagers in Yangjiabao looked at each other.
Originally, in their opinion, this Yanzhou was obviously much more peaceful than Jizhou, and everyone had traveled all the way here, maybe they could simply live and work in peace and contentment - but who would have thought that what Du Chengfeng brought back was bad news, and it was so bad.
They all came out of Jibei all the way, who doesn't have a psychological shadow on the flesh and blood monster bird?
"That'...... Why don't we go further south? ”
"It's fine."
Du Chengfeng nodded.
"Safety always comes first, so it's better to go a little further south. Brother, your axe can't be used for the time being, I'll give you two more knives, and your safety along the way depends on you......"
"What about you?"
Hearing Du Chengfeng say this, Carpenter Li frowned.
"Brother Du, aren't you leaving?"
"Not for now."
Du Chengfeng shook his head.
"I also have to deal with the affairs of the Yanzhou arsenal."
As soon as these words came out, the villagers in Yangjiabao had different expressions.
Yang Xuan and Carpenter Li knew about it, so they already knew that Du Chengfeng was going to have a meal just by hearing about the Yanzhou Arsenal - after all, he was in a hurry when he left Jizhou before, but Du Chengfeng of the Jizhou Arsenal had hardly touched it, and now that he had the opportunity to open the Yanzhou Arsenal, how could he refuse for a grinder with special skills like Du Chengfeng.
In the eyes of those uninformed villagers, Du Chengfeng's behavior of taking the initiative to stay has become a manifestation of Gao Feng Liangjie.
With a person like Du Chengfeng staying in the official face, they can better leave Yanzhou, and they will not encounter difficulties along the way, and even when they go to a new place, they can easily settle down, and even receive a little care.
The only grievance is probably Du Chengfeng himself.
"Hero, you are really ......"
A few villagers hadn't read any books, and they couldn't say any literate words of thanks for a while, so they had to sigh and bow down to Du Chengfeng.
Du Chengfeng naturally would not accept this ceremony, mainly because he was born in Taiping, he was not very suitable for such a solemn etiquette, so he helped everyone up, and even hugged his fists - such a modest behavior naturally made the villagers more sideways, and even Du Chengfeng's figure, in their eyes, became a little taller.
"Brother Du, wait a while?"
Just as Du Chengfeng was about to leave, Carpenter Li stopped him suspiciously.
"Your body...... Have you grown taller lately? ”
"Huh? I? ”
Du Chengfeng was a little confused by the question.
Growing up, he is not a developing teenager, although he is still young at the moment, he should have passed the age where he can continue to grow taller.
But when he stood in front of Carpenter Li and compared his height with the other party, he found that he had really grown a little longer.
It's not too tall, about an inch, but when you put it on him, it looks a little weird.
"Hey, Twenty-three is still jumping, I may still have a little room to grow."
After bidding farewell to the people of Yangjiabao and sending the villagers all the way out of the city, Du Chengfeng also led the horse back.
For the sake of safety, the villagers of Yangjiabao wanted to rest outside the city and then prepare to continue running, but he was going back to live in the city - in the final analysis, it was nothing more than because he was not afraid of this. The battle in Jizhou had already given Du Chengfeng enough confidence in his own strength, but there was nothing in Yanzhou at the moment that could hurt him.
Including the hidden so-called monster, as long as the monster dares to show its head, he dares to kill the monster on the spot.
So this time, Du Chengfeng walked at night.
It is hard to imagine that a large city with a large population can become dead silent after nightfall, leading horses to walk among the alleys, Du Chengfeng can only hear the sound of horses' hooves around him.
And the sound of something falling.
It was a grocery store behind Du Chengfeng, and the pretext used to solicit customers at the door of the shop fell to the ground.
As a kind-hearted person, Du Chengfeng will of course choose to turn around and take a few steps back to help people pick up the pretense.
But just when Du Chengfeng lowered his head, he saw a neat break on the bamboo pole supporting the disguise.
Fresh fractured surface, smooth as a mirror.
"Huh?"
Du Chengfeng couldn't help but subconsciously turn his head.
But I found that the wild cat on the eaves on the side of the road had dropped its head at some point.
"Huh??"
Du Chengfeng turned his head suddenly, but saw a big man with a green cloth covering his face in front of him, holding a pair of boning sharp knives, fiercely piercing his heart!
"Huh?"
Listening to the sound of gold and iron in his ears, and looking at the mottled iron exposed under his clothes, the masked man's originally red eyes were also stunned.
At this time, Du Chengfeng's right hand was already pressed on the head of the masked man.
