When he first arrived in Yanzhou City, Du Chengfeng thought it was a safe city.
After all, you need to register before entering, and there are strict security checks. Long knives and swords are not allowed to be taken on the street, and they will be confiscated if seen - and people are often stabbed in the street, and even several people are beaten to fight for water in the village. Compared with Jibei, where a person's life is concerned, this Yanzhou City is obviously a peaceful and safe place.
But it wasn't until now that Du Chengfeng realized that there was something wrong with this statement.
For example, if Yanzhou City was really so peaceful, why would everyone need to go through security check when entering?
"Even if the long sword and long sword are banned, it seems to be of no use."
Looking at the recently beaten corpse on the ground, Du Chengfeng couldn't help but scratch his head.
Completely different from how ordinary it looks during the day, Yanzhou City is really lively at night. Just walking from the city gate back to the mansion, Du Chengfeng killed nine people.
Two rogues settled down, a grocer's boy, two bearers, two thieves who stole things in the dark, a beggar, and even a prostitute in a brothel.
In addition to the previous cook from Qingyang Tower, the daggers and shovels left behind by these people were enough to make a set of ten for him.
But the ten companies didn't come up with anything good. The chef was good at making banquets, the two gangsters were good at extortion, the grocery store clerk was good at shouting, and the beggar was good at singing by the count. Bao, the things left by the bearer and the thief are useful. On both sides, one is familiar with Yanzhou City during the day, and the other is familiar with Yanzhou City at night, which makes Du Chengfeng familiar with the terrain of Yanzhou. As for the prostitute in the brothel ... Du Chengfeng really couldn't think of any use in learning makeup and retouching by himself.
Yes, they are all miscellaneous little things. These people obviously dare to attack and kill lone passers-by in the middle of the night, but there is not even one among them who is skilled in martial arts.
They are just 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 brutal killers.
"Is it all because of this..."
Pulling open his robe, Du Chengfeng took a look at the more and more short blades and claws in the robe.
The only thing these people have in common is that they bought these knives that are said to "solve problems" from a hidden person, and they actually used the knives in their hands to physically solve the problems they faced - and After tasting the benefits of killing, that is, the evil spirit in Du Chengfeng's eyes entered their bodies, these people could not stop.
Just like the prairie warriors under He Xiqing, the evil aura brought about by killing gradually increased the power of these ordinary people, making them start to surpass ordinary people and gradually move towards inhumanity.
Even if these people have never practiced martial arts, a dozen or so soldiers may not be able to take them down, let alone ordinary passers-by walking at night, they may be killed on the spot if they don't meet them.
It's a pity that Du Chengfeng cannot be regarded as an ordinary passerby.
"Are you really still a human?"
Just when Du Chengfeng was about to open the courtyard door and enter his new mansion to take a look, a voice sounded behind him.
"These are knives that I have kept for more than half a year. If you take away one or two, I will accept them. Considering that we are all colleagues, I won't care about you... You didn't even say hello. , Is it a bit too much to eat ten heads in one go? Do you think I am dead?"
"……Who are you?"
Du Chengfeng turned around in surprise, only to find a figure in a large robe squatting on the eaves not far away, looking down at him.
Although the other party hid his head and tail, and even covered his entire face, just looking at this familiar aura, it was clearly the person who had appeared in the memory of those knives before, the person who sold the murderous short blade!
"I am the person in charge of intelligence in Yanzhou, and my nickname is Queying."
The hidden figure jumped down from the eaves and took a look at Du Chengfeng's robe.
"Your clothes... aren't you just a sparrow? How dare you cross the line?"
"ah?"
Du Chengfeng couldn't help but was stunned by the question.
The robe he was wearing was made when he was attending a big market in Jibei. At that time, he happened to meet a knife seller, so he bought all the seventeen knives that the seller had. Naturally, this robe was also used as packaging. One piece was given as a gift - all along, he just thought that this old robe was okay to wear on him, and the knives hanging inside could just be used as a layer of inner armor, which was a good thing to use for personal protection.
But now it seems that this old robe actually has other explanations?
"I, that, um... sparrowhawk, right?"
Du Chengfeng was silent for a moment.
Originally, he thought that the knife seller was a lawless element, and he was planning to follow the memories in the knives to find him and beat the knife seller to death - but now, listening to what the knife seller said, The other party seems to be organized? The person in charge of intelligence in Yanzhou?
It sounds very much like an official organization. Could this be his colleague in Yanzhou?
Although Du Chengfeng always felt that the other party's behavior did not look like a good person, but when he thought about the strangeness of the sword and weapon, and how outrageous Nan Chen was, he always felt that nothing in this world was strange.
"Since we are all our own people, let's come in and sit down."
After thinking about it, Du Chengfeng opened the door of the mansion first, intending to chat with this strange colleague first, so as to collect more information about Yanzhou.
But who would have thought that just an ordinary push of the door would make the knife seller who called himself Sparrowhawk speechless in shock.
"This...isn't this the Yanzhou Ordnance Master's house? What are you waiting for?"
The knife seller who called himself Sparrowhawk seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"I heard that during the day, a new grinder came to Yanzhou. Could it be possible..."
"That's right, down there."
Du Chengfeng cupped his hands in recognition.
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.
"Very good!"
Sparrowhawk clapped his hands excitedly.
"I didn't expect that there are other colleagues who can reach such a position! In this way, our great cause will be more promising!"
"Our great cause?"
Du Chengfeng was stunned when he heard this.
Although it's not that he couldn't understand the wording, the word "great cause" used here... doesn't it sound a bit strange?
"Yes! Our great cause!"
Saying this, the sparrowhawk arched its hands toward the north.
"When Khan's heavenly soldiers arrive, this little Chen Nan will be nothing more than a chicken and a dog!"
