Chapter 76: Another Knife Seller
When he first came to Yanzhou City, Du Chengfeng thought it was a safe city.
After all, registration is required to enter every door, and there are strict security measures, long knives and long swords are not allowed to be brought on the street, and they will be confiscated if they see them - compared with Jibei, which can kill people on the street at every turn, and even fight for water at the head of the village, this Yanzhou City is obviously a peaceful and safe place.
But it wasn't until now that Du Chengfeng realized that there should be something wrong with this statement.
For example, if Yanzhou City is really so peaceful, how can everyone need to go through the security check when they enter the door?
"Even if the long sword is banned, it doesn't seem to be of much use."
Looking at the corpse that had just been killed on the ground, Du Chengfeng couldn't help but scratch his head
Completely different from the ordinary city in the daytime, Yanzhou City at night is really lively. On the way back to the mansion from the city gate, Du Chengfeng killed nine people.
Two sloppy households, a grocery store man, two sedan chair drivers, two thieves who steal things in the dark, a beggar who asks for food, and even a prostitute in a green building.
Coupled with the cook of Qingyang Building before, the short knives and pickets left by these people just happened to make up a set of ten for him.
But these ten companies didn't find anything good, the chef is good at making the craft of making banquet noodles, the two splashes can only blackmail and touch porcelain, the guy in the grocery store is good at shouting, the beggar who asks for food will sing a number of treasures, the things left by the sedan chair driver and the thief are useful, on both sides of the Yanzhou City is familiar with the day of the day, and the other is familiar with the Yanzhou City at night, but Du Chengfeng is familiar with the terrain of Yanzhou a lot, as for the prostitute in the green building...... Du Chengfeng really couldn't think of any use of learning makeup and retouching by himself.
Yes, it's all a miscellaneous little thing, these people obviously dare to attack and kill a lone passerby in the middle of the night, but none of them even know how to do martial arts.
They are just ordinary ordinary people, and they may not even be able to beat others in a fight.
But now, under the cover of night, they have all become murderous killers.
"Is it all because of this......
Pulling away the robe on his body, Du Chengfeng looked at the robes, more and more short blades and pinchs.
The only thing these people have in common is that they bought these knives that are said to "solve problems" from someone who hides their heads and tails, and they do use the knives in their hands to solve the problems they face in a physical sense - and after tasting the benefits of killing, that is, the evil qi in Du Chengfeng's eyes, these people can't stop.
Just like those grassland armor soldiers under Su Xiqing, the evil aura brought by killing people gradually increased the strength of these ordinary people, making them begin to surpass ordinary people and gradually move in the direction of inhuman.
Even if these people have not practiced martial arts, they may not be able to take them down if they wait for a dozen or so soldiers, not to mention those ordinary passers-by who walk at night, I am afraid that they will be killed on the spot if they are not just a face.
It's a pity that Du Chengfeng can't be regarded as an ordinary passerby.
"Are you really human?"
Just when Du Chengfeng was about to open the courtyard door first and enter his new mansion to have a look, a voice sounded behind him.
"These are all knives that I have raised for more than half a year, and I will admit it if you take one or two, for the sake of everyone being peers, I don't care about you...... Isn't it a bit too much for you to say hello and take the weight of ten heads in one go? When I'm dead? ”
“…… You are? ”
Du Chengfeng turned his head in surprise, only to find a figure in a wide robe squatting on the eaves not far away, looking at him condescendingly.
Although the other party hid his head and tail, and even covered his entire face, just looking at this familiar atmosphere, it was clear that it was the person who sold murderous short blades that appeared in the memory of those knives before!
"I'm the head of intelligence in Yanzhou, and my name is Sparrowhawk."
The figure with his head and tail hidden jumped down from the eaves and looked at Du Chengfeng's robe.
"You clothes...... Didn't you just get mixed with sparrows? This also dares to cross the line? ”
"Huh?"
Du Chengfeng couldn't help but be stunned by the question.
The robe on his body was still made when he was in Jibei to catch up with the big gathering, and he happened to meet a knife seller at that time, so he bought all the seventeen knives on the other party's body, and this robe was naturally given away as a package - all along, he just felt that the old robe was okay to wear on his body, and the knives hanging in it could also be used as a layer of inner armor, and it was a good thing to use it to protect himself.
But now it seems that there is something else to say about this old robe?
"I, that, huh...... Sparrowhawk, right? ”
Du Chengfeng was silent for a moment.
Originally, he thought that the knife seller was an outlaw, and he was going to follow the memories in those knives to find the door and beat the knife seller to death - but now, listening to this knife seller, the other party seems to be organized? The head of intelligence on the Yanzhou side?
It sounds like some official organization, this can't be my colleagues in Yanzhou, right?
Although Du Chengfeng always felt that the other party's behavior was not like a good person, when he thought of the strangeness of this sword soldier's evil spirit, as well as the outrageous degree of this Nanchen Dynasty, he always felt that it was not strange that anything appeared in this world.
"Since they're all your own people, let's come in and sit down."
After thinking about it, Du Chengfeng still pushed open the door of the mansion first, ready to chat with this strange colleague first, which can be regarded as collecting a little more information from Yanzhou.
But who would have thought that it was just an ordinary action of pushing the door, but the knife seller who called himself Sparrowhawk was speechless.
"This ...... Isn't this the mansion of the Yanzhou Ordnance Chief? How do you, wait? ”
The knife seller, who called himself Sparrowhawk, seemed to think of something, and his eyes widened.
"I heard that during the day, there is a new grinder here in Yanzhou, is it difficult to ......"
"That's right, it's down."
Du Chengfeng arched his hand, which can be regarded as admitting.
After all, he didn't lie, he was indeed a new grinder, as for whether he was from Jizhou or Yanzhou...... The sparrowhawk didn't ask anyway.
"Great!"
Sparrowhawk clapped her hands excitedly.
"I didn't expect any other peers to be in this position! In this way, our great cause will be more promising! ”
"Our cause?"
Du Chengfeng was stunned when he heard it.
Although he was not incomprehensible to this word, the word "great cause" was used here...... Doesn't that sound weird?
"That's right! Our great cause! ”
With that, the sparrowhawk arched his hand in the direction of the north.
"When the Khan's heavenly soldiers arrive, this Nanchen Xiao'er is just a local chicken and a dog!"
