Chapter 208 Overlord Gun

The inn is not very far from Du Changwei's City Lord's Mansion, and it only takes about twenty minutes to drive. To read the latest chapters, please lock in Aishang Novel Network biquge.info () The city lord's mansion in Baoning City is located in a different place from other towns, and in most cases, the city lord's mansion is located in the center of the town, if not a special center, it must be in the nearby street. However, the city lord's mansion of this Baoning City is biased towards a slope in the south of the city.

After Zhu Daneng's explanation, Hu Wei knew that it was close to a scenic spot in Baoning City-Xiaolongtan. Because the previous city lord coveted the beautiful scenery here, he relocated the original city lord's mansion here.

Speaking of which, this Du Changwei was not the city lord here, he was only transferred to Baoning City more than a year ago. There is no other reason, because the geographical location of this Baoning City has changed, from the original peaceful land, to a place of non-facture, and after Qingzhou was ceded out, the oil and water here became less, so the former city lord did everything possible to use the family power to exchange places with Du Changwei.

Du Changwei is also considered to be a nobleman, his ancestor was originally a guard commander beside Rijkaard, before coming to Baoning City, he worked as a town guard in a place called Shimen Town in Zhongzhou, which is close to the imperial capital circle, which is a good place. Although it was only a town, it was much better than the current city of Baoning.

However, due to the withering of family talents and the reluctance to nest with the nobles in the imperial capital circle, Du Changwei was excluded from all sides in the imperial capital circle, and the Du family's power became smaller and smaller. It just so happened that the former city lord of Baoning was moving around and wanted to change cities. Those nobles pushed the boat down the river, and they pushed Du Changwei to this Baoning City.

Although Du Changwei was promoted to one level and changed from a town guard to a city guard, his life was not so easy. Every district has its own forces, and with Du Changwei's kind of behavior that goes against the powerful, when he arrives in this Baoning City, he is also not welcomed. So when he found out that the Qingzhou Three Kingdoms Alliance Army was stupid, the officials and men in other nearby towns ignored him. It's as if the city of Bunin has fallen, and it won't have anything to do with them.

The official letter sent to the imperial capital was also sunk into the sea, and there was no follow-up. How did he know that those powerful people in the imperial capital thought that Du Changwei wanted to complain to the top, but he didn't read his official letter, so he threw it aside.

Faced with such a situation, Du Changwei was anxious and fidgeted all night, and finally under the reminder of a subordinate, Du Changwei thought of Hu Wei, who had just entered Langtian City, so he sent an urgent letter for help to Hu Wei.

The scenery in this area is really very beautiful, the air is fresh, the forest is luxuriant, the back is backed by a fish peak, the mountain peak is not big, but there are pavilions and pavilions, and it looks like a fish leaping over the dragon gate from a distance. There is also a natural waterhole not far away. The water in the waterhole is crystal clear, and you can see fish playing. The waterfall cascades down and makes countless splashes. The breeze caressed, the small water droplets wandering in the air, swimming with the wind, after the sunlight, shining a little golden light, how can a 'wonderful' word be said clearly.

At the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, twenty or thirty people in gray military uniforms greeted. Most of them are men, only two women, and there is actually a five or six-year-old child, who seems to be Du Changwei's son or grandson.

Seeing Hu Wei get down from the carriage, everyone said in unison: "I've seen the young marshal." ”

Du Changwei explained: "They are all officials at all levels in my Baoning City, and when they heard that the young marshal was coming, they all wanted to see the young marshal's momentum."

Hu Wei's eyes turned on the young woman who was pulling the child, returned the salute, and smiled, "Hello everyone. It's a pleasure to meet you all. ”

After a period of politeness, Du Changwei accompanied Hu Wei into the City Lord's Mansion, the scene of the City Lord's Mansion is not worse than that outside the mansion, it is also so splendid, and it is not inferior to the imperial capital.

Hu Wei glanced at it and said with a smile: "It's so beautiful here, and in my opinion, the Water Palace is nothing more than that." ”

Du Changwei's evaluation of Hu Wei smiled faintly wryly. In his life, he lived a relatively simple life, and he didn't like such a brilliant splendor very much. If He Nai wants to renovate this city lord's mansion and needs a large number of gold coins, although he doesn't like it, he can only settle down.

The group was seated in the main hall, and only a few of the officers who saluted in front of the door followed. The little woman who was holding the child before personally brought tea to Hu Wei, and then she was busy bringing all kinds of refreshments. Hu Wei felt strange, but in front of these people, it was not easy to ask, so he could only secretly suppress it in his heart.

Du Changwei said: "There is nothing good in the cold house, a little coarse tea, please appreciate the young marshal and the generals." ”

Hu Wei picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, although he was not very knowledgeable about tea, but because he was used to drinking the tea brought by the four maids from the Ningnan Empire, he also knew that Du Changwei's was indeed coarse tea. Compared with the splendor in this house, this tea seems to be a little unacceptable.

When he put down the tea bowl, Hu Wei accidentally saw the child peeking outside the door. The child's gaze was not at him, nor at the beauties of the whirlwind, but at the pastries placed on his table. Seeing that the child is not swallowing saliva, it is obvious that he wants to eat.

Hu Wei asked Du Changwei: "Du Chengshou, who is that child?"

Du Changwei replied: "That's my little grandson. ”

Hu Wei smiled and beckoned to the child, who looked at the little woman hesitantly, and saw that the little woman nodded slightly, and then he walked in.

"Du Jiang has seen the young marshal. "A child saluted Hu Wei like a little adult.

Hu Wei laughed and said, "Hello kid, is your name Du Jiang?"

Du Jiang nodded, looked at Hu Wei with a curious gaze, and asked in a nice childish voice, "Are you the immortal bird that Mr. Storyteller said?"

"Jiang'er is not allowed to be rude. The little woman said softly.

The little woman's voice was very good, crisp and crisp, like a nightingale in the hollow, and people couldn't help but guess in their hearts how touching it would be if she sang a little song.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Hu Wei waved his hand and asked Xiao Dujiang: "I am an immortal bird, have you heard of me?"

Xiao Dujiang said: "The last time my mother took me to the teahouse, I heard that Mr. Storyteller told you a story. ”

Hu Wei turned his head and glanced at the little woman, the mother in Xiao Dujiang's mouth, Shiyou, refers to her. It seems that this little woman should be Du Changwei's daughter-in-law.

"Oh, what did Mr. Storyteller say?"

Xiao Dujiang said: "Mr. Storyteller said that you are very good at fighting, and you can also shoot arrows." Those bad guys, all of them killed you with one arrow. When I grow up, I will learn archery and be as majestic as you. ”

"Okay, ambitious" Hu Wei smiled and took a piece of pastry, and said to Xiao Dujiang: "For your ambition, I will award you a piece of mung bean cake, so that you can grow up quickly and be able to cross the knife as soon as possible." ”

Xiao Du Jiang said: "My lord, can you award me osmanthus cake?"

Hu Wei had already discovered that when Xiao Dujiang was talking, he would pay attention to the osmanthus cake from time to time, and deliberately gave the mung bean cake, which was intended to test the child's reaction. Seeing that he really spoke, he took the opportunity to ask, "Why?"

Xiao Dujiang replied: "Because the osmanthus cake made by my mother is the most delicious." ”

Hu Wei smiled and teased Xiao Dujiang and said, "Okay, then I'll give you osmanthus cake." It's just that I want to try your mother's craft, and there's only one piece here, so what should I do?"

Xiao Du Jiang obviously didn't expect Hu Wei to ask like this, his eyes turned sharply several times, and he said tentatively, "Why don't Jiang Er share half of you?"

Afraid that Hu Wei would not agree, Xiao Dujiang added: "It's good that the young marshal wants more than half, and Jiang'er is small, so he wants half of it." ”

Hu Wei laughed and gave the osmanthus cake to Xiao Dujiang. After Xiao Dujiang thanked him politely, he asked the little woman to take her out.

Hu Wei looked at the backs of Xiao Du Jiang and his wife, and exaggerated: "What a clever child, Lord Du, the Du family has this son, and he will have a big eyebrow in the future." ”

Elder Du Changwei was relieved: "Borrow the young marshal's auspicious words." ”

Hu Wei groaned for a while, and said tentatively: "Master Du, Ling Gongzi"

When Du Changwei heard this, his old face twitched obviously, and he sighed and said: "The dog disappeared in Qingzhou more than two years ago, and now there is no news. ”

Hu Wei was a little strange, Du Changwei was a town guard in Zhongzhou before, and what did his son do in Qingzhou. Two years ago, wasn't it the time of Anrong **Qingzhou, when Qingzhou was at war.

Looking at the confusion on Hu Wei's face, Du Changwei explained: "The dog once worshipped the Blizzard Legion, and the deputy commander Crespo was the teacher to learn the art of war. ”

When Hu Wei heard Du Changwei's words, he suddenly remembered a person and asked, "Is Ling Gongzi's name Du Kefeng?"

Du Changwei's whole body was shocked, and then he remembered that Hu Wei was also a member of the Blizzard Legion before, although he was not in the same division as his son, but he was likely to know, and even knew his son's whereabouts: "Yes, the dog is called Du Kefeng, young marshal, do you know the dog?"

Hu Wei was in the Blizzard Legion, mainly dealing with the Legion Commander Sumendar. Because the chief and deputy commanders are not very harmonious, he is not so familiar with the deputy legion Crespo, that is, they have met a few times, and they can't talk about any friendship. Hu Wei knew that Crespo was indeed accompanied by a young man named Du Kefeng, who was a few years older than Hu Wei, and he had never spoken to them. Belong to the kind of people who know each other, but have no friendship.

Hu Wei nodded and said: "It's an acquaintance, but because of the difference in affiliation, the friendship is not deep." ”

Du Changwei's hands trembled a little and asked, "The young marshal knows whether the dog is alive or dead." ”

Du Changwei was no longer a city guard with 50,000 soldiers and horses under his command at this time, he was just an old man who had lost his child's news. Disappearances are often more torturous than war deaths. Although the death in battle is sad, it will eventually pass. And the disappearance makes you have to worry about it, but you can't find it, how sad it is.

The city of Toducheng was broken, and the deputy commander Crespo was captured by An Rong, because of the loss of military prestige, it was listed as a secret in the army, although there were rumors outside, but there was never official confirmation, and An Rong had never made an article about it, so the outside world knew very little.

In response to Du Changwei's question, Hu Wei did not answer, but picked up the teacup and took a sip gently. Du Changwei was stunned, and immediately thought that Hu Wei didn't want others to know about it, so he forcibly suppressed the curiosity in his heart, and didn't ask again, but changed to talk about other things.

After the little woman took Du Jiang down, after a while, she came up and told Du Changwei that the wine and food were ready, and asked if the banquet would be opened. At this time, Hu Wei already knew that this little woman's name was Ru Xue, and she was Du Kefeng's wife. Because the Du family is not prosperous, there is only one ** housekeeper in the family, and Ru Xue will also help with housework. As for Du Changwei's wife, she died many years ago.

A widower, half a little widow, a **, a small child, such a family combination, if you change your usual life, you will definitely guess in your stomach what interesting things will happen in this family.

However, he didn't have that kind of thought at this time, because Du Changwei was not the same as those powerful people in the imperial capital, and he had a righteous spirit that the nobles did not have, which was why he was not liked by the powerful, if it weren't for this, he would not have been changed to a city here.

And Ru Xue, a little woman, is knowledgeable at first glance, from everyone, knowledgeable, and educated, otherwise she would not be able to teach Xiao Dujiang so sensible. These two people do not meet the conditions for messing around with each other.

The banquet is very simple, quite for the family banquet of those powerful people, these dishes without delicacies of the mountains and seas, it is not an exaggeration to call it shabby. But these ordinary home-cooked dishes taste very good, and even Bian Fuchen, a master of cooking, keeps praising them.

After eating, the other generals all took their leave, and only Du Changwei's family and the people brought by Hu Wei were left in the house. Du Changwei has always been worried about his son, and invited Hu Wei to the study.

Hu Wei knew what Du Changwei was thinking, so he readily agreed. In Zhu Daneng's group all stayed in the flower hall for tea, Hu Wei only took the four shadows of the dark night that ordinary people could not see, and followed Du Changwei to the study.

The layout of this study is obviously not as brilliant as the outside. Very ordinary room, opposite the main entrance, hanging a portrait. The person in the painting should be the general of the Du family who was the commander of the Rijkaard guard. The person in the painting is only seven points similar to Du Chang, and he looks domineering in a military uniform.

Hu Wei noticed that when Du Changwei came in, he bowed to the portrait, so he also bowed. Du Changwei thanked him, asked Hu Wei to sit down, and poured tea for Hu Wei in person.

Hu Wei took the tea, and without waiting for Du Changwei to ask, he took the initiative to tell Du Changwei about the fact that after the city of Yu Ducheng was broken, Crespo and a senior officer of the deputy army were arrested alive by Anrongren.

Because Hu Wei's power was not big enough at that time, Hu Wei didn't know so much, and he could give Du Changwei a rough idea. Du Changwei frowned tightly, listened to Hu Wei's narration without saying a word, and let out a long breath, as if he was relieved, or a little comforted, in short, his expression was very complicated, there was no obvious happiness, and there was no sadness.

After being slightly silent for a while, Du Changwei temporarily put down his son's affairs and chatted with Hu Wei. Because Hu Wei wanted to know more about Rijkaard, he intentionally or unintentionally led the topic to the head of the Du family's guards.

Through Du Changwei's narration, Hu Wei learned that the commander of the Du family's guards was one of the first people to follow Rijkaard and vow to overthrow the Bauhinia Dynasty, but unfortunately his life was not good, and when he was close to success, he died in battle.

fell on the last step before success, which made Hu Wei sigh. If it weren't for this, the Du family would definitely be much more powerful than it is now. The lessons of the past made Hu Wei can't help but remind himself in his heart that he must not let the victory get dizzy, and the closer he is to success, the more he must be calm, and he will never allow his achievements to fall short.

Speaking of which, Du Changwei got up and went to the cabinet, took out a box, put it in front of the table and said: "I heard that the young marshal makes a good marksmanship, and he must have a certain study of guns. ”

Not only do I have a good gun, but I also have a good gun, but it's a pity that you don't have a daughter at home, otherwise I can let you see it.

The box that Du Changwei took out is very simple, the dark gold pattern is very beautiful, and it seems to be some years old. When he opened it, Hu Wei couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. The gun head in this box was no different from the standard gun head he had used in the army before, and it seemed to be old, still a little rusty, and dull.

Hu Wei was just about to say a few words of compliment, so he didn't pay attention to it, but he didn't know why, a vague shadow suddenly appeared in his heart, and there was an indescribable taste in his heart.

Hu Wei suppressed the feeling in his heart and asked, "Can I take a look?"

Du Changwei showed a smile: "Of course, young marshal, please feel free to look at it." ”

Really heavy

This is the first feeling of starting with the gun, and when Hu Wei looks at the details, he will never return his gaze. Because above this gun, he saw that mysterious tired code again. The corroded flower text was given three tired characters - the overlord gun

Hu Wei concealed his excitement, and pretended to be moved: "This spear head looks dull, but it gives me a very ancient taste." It's like a lover, it feels familiar, it's weird. ”

Du Changwei said happily: "Does the young marshal feel this way? I have also felt this way." I've always thought it was a magic weapon, but unfortunately when I showed it to others, no one thought it was good. ”

Hu Wei asked, "Where did you get it?"

Du Changwei pointed to the hanging image and said, "On my father's body." I guess it's from the Bauhinia Dynasty, as he was killed in the final assault on the palace. ”

Hu Wei nodded, in his heart, the one-armed Osmar appeared, the pair of gloves he gave was written on the tired door, but unfortunately he died too early, and he didn't have time to know more from him. However, the combination of the two, Hu Wei felt that the clue should point to the redbud of the thousand-year-old dynasty that had been shattered

Hu Wei stroked the tip of the gun: "It's very dull, but it's very heavy." ”

Hu Wei said, trying to pour the spiritual power into the overlord gun like a sun-changing bow, and fiercely, the overlord gun flashed a faint light.
