Du Chengfeng just wants to live a peaceful life.

It is said that the country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change, although in this chaotic world where killing people can become stronger, he can be regarded as having lived some days, but as a Taiping person, he still seems a little out of place with this world after all - even in order to protect himself, in order to be able to live, he has also embarked on this road of becoming stronger by killing, but Du Chengfeng knows that what he wants is not this.

All he wants is to live and work in peace, just to live his own life, to be able to support himself with his own efforts, he will buy a small yard, raise a dog, or raise two cats, he will plant two trees in the yard, one is a jujube tree, and the other is also a jujube tree.

That's all he wants, and he's been sure to do it many times.

"So, why not go?"

Carpenter Li's question echoed in his mind again.

yes, why not go? If that's all he wants, then he'll be fine. Leave Yangjiabao, leave Yanzhou, go further south, go to those more peaceful places.

"Maybe it's because sooner or later there will be chaos over there?"

Well, this can indeed be considered a reason, after all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the grassland people raise troops to the south, this Nanchen Mansion will collapse, and there will be no eggs under the nest, and this war is bound to sweep the world - and this means that no matter where he hides, there will always be a day to face the war, so instead of waiting for the danger to find the door, it is better to face it early.

But this statement, when you think about it, is also untenable.

It takes time to fight, and a protracted war takes even more time, even if this big war will sweep the world, as long as he escapes far enough, then when the war burns to the doorstep, he is afraid that he will be seventy or eighty, and he will die of old age.

It is even possible that he has died of old age, after all, the level of medical care in this world is not necessarily very high.

So no matter how you think about it, what Carpenter Li said is right, fleeing is the most rational decision, is the most correct behavior, as the so-called gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, since he already knows that there is danger, he should leave.

But why, he hasn't left yet?

Even now, it hasn't left.

"Hoo ......"

Exhaling a breath of turbidity, Du Chengfeng gently rubbed the handle of the square sword in front of him.

This sword originally belonged to Ruan Shantao, and the old man also said that he would teach him something. And Du Chengfeng himself once thought about what this experienced old man could bring to himself - at least he must be able to learn literacy and hyphenation, and maybe there are some skills in sharpening knives, such as poetry and calligraphy that he can't understand very well, as well as the so-called resentment and divine soldiers.

Of course, more importantly, the old man might be able to answer the questions that puzzled him the most.

But before he could learn that knowledge, before he could ask what he wanted to ask, the old man Ruan was already dead.

Turned into a monster, and then was killed by two blows, and died extremely simply.

And this death brought more confusion to Du Chengfeng.

Old man Ruan has never killed anyone in his life, and he has never been contaminated with any evil energy, where does this strength come from? Well, even if it is the power brought by the so-called poetry and calligraphy, why did Old Man Ruan still become a monster catalyzed by evil qi after his death?

Of course, the most important thing is that he knew that the monster that the old man Ruan turned into was a behemoth rooted in the entire Ziyang Mountain, so why did he have to go back to take a look after he escaped?

Anyone with a little common sense can see that this is an act of seeking death, and it is a self-seeking death.

But he did.

"What the hell was I thinking?"

Du Chengfeng couldn't help but clench his fists.

Worried about Old Man Ruan?

Forget it, he didn't have much friendship with the old man.

Want to stop monsters?

Come on, when has he ever been so noble.

Want to find out how the battle went?

This is even more untenable, is this kind of information worth risking his life to see for himself?

"Hmmm......"

Du Chengfeng's mind was quite confused, which couldn't help but make him raise his head and look at the huge word "benevolence" again.

Maybe that's why he came to the arsenal, the word left by Old Man Ruan not only suppressed the evil spirit of the sword soldiers in the arsenal, but also calmed Du Chengfeng's chaotic thoughts.

Although the relationship between him and the old man Ruan is only a nominal teacher-student relationship, at least the word left by the old man Ruan still has some effect.

However, it only has a small effect.

Even if it was far away, Du Chengfeng heard the roars of the old man Ruan who had turned into a monster in the mountains, and it was obvious that even the old man Ruan, who had adhered to the path of benevolence and righteousness all his life, at the end of his life, after all, he still completely revealed those troubles and distractions outside of benevolence and righteousness.

Perhaps from the beginning, this old man Ruan couldn't give him any guidance.

After all, even Old Man Ruan's own benevolence and righteousness have not been able to reach true purity.

It's not even as good as the square sword in front of you.

"So."

Du Chengfeng touched the hilt of the old sword.

"Did he put you here, or did he not need you anymore?"

The heavy piece of iron was silent, and there was no answer.

Yes, even if it is made into a sword, steel is still steel after all, how can he give him any answer?

This confusion, this confusion, after all, can only be achieved by himself.

Thinking like this, Du Chengfeng turned his head and walked out of the arsenal, leading the horse back to the street.

It was at this time that there were officials from the official office who fled in a panic all the way.

"Oh no! My lord! Oh no! ”

After seeing Du Chengfeng come out of the arsenal, the little official grabbed Du Chengfeng's arm.

"My lord! Suddenly there are a lot of murderous madmen in the city! There are even monsters...... The predators are already overwhelmed! If no one helps them dispel their evil spirits, they will become crazy themselves! Let's go, sir! It's going to be too late to go! ”

"Oh? Is that so? ”

Du Chengfeng frowned slightly.

Sure enough, as he judged, Ruan Shantao's fall was just the beginning, and after Ruan Shantao's fall, the hidden problems in Yanzhou City would definitely usher in a wave of terrifying outbreaks.

"So, my lord, you better hurry over! I'm afraid something big will happen if it's too late...... My lord? What are you shaking, adult? ”

The little official who was urging was suddenly stunned.

Is it uneasiness? Is it fear? Or is it panic over chaos?

Otherwise, why would this ordnance chief be like this?

“…… It's okay, let's go. ”

Taking a deep breath, Du Chengfeng pulled out a smile.

This trembling is not uneasy, nor is it fear, nor is it panic.

It's something, instinctive, extremely exciting.
