In the Blade

Chapter 39: Changes in the Arsenal

Jizhou Arsenal is located underground in the Dudu Mansion.

For the sake of safety, only the grinding craftsmen accompanying the army, also known as the Ordnance Master, are allowed to enter and exit the arsenal. As for other people, even Governor Liu himself, must obtain permission from the Ordnance Master before they can enter.

As for the reason, it is because unspeakable things have happened in this kind of arsenal cellar.

"That happened a long time ago in the Youzhou Governor's Mansion. There was no such ban at that time, and the arsenal was built on the ground. Although a place like the arsenal is extremely evil and prone to accidents, as long as the Ordnance Chief does his daily work Good weapons maintenance does not prevent soldiers from coming here to pick up weapons and practice battle formations on weekdays. "

When Du Chengfeng asked, Governor Liu briefly explained the whole story.

After all, this is also related to the problems faced by Jizhou Arsenal.

Unlike Wang Gaocheng in Jizhou who was stabbed to death with a sword, Youzhou's Chief of Ordnance is willing to work, so nothing happens on weekdays. All kinds of weapons are polished and soldiers come to get them. When picking up ordnance, no one has ever had the problem of evil spirit entering the body.

It is precisely because of this that the Ordnance Master did not come to report for a day or two, and it did not affect the normal use of the arsenal.

Nothing happened for a day or two, and it was fine for three or four days. It was not until seven or eight days later that the Ordnance Chief had not appeared, and the Youzhou Governor's Mansion realized that something was not right. But just after the governor who commanded Youzhou opened his arsenal and prepared to see what happened, a weapon caught his eye.

"Then half of the people in the Youzhou Governor's Mansion died."

Walking in the dark corridor, Governor Liu frowned.

"According to the accounts given by those who escaped, the evil spirit of the Governor of Youzhou had completely entered his body and turned into a monster. Not only the Governor's Mansion, the Governor of Youzhou who had turned into a monster even killed himself all the way out... That disaster It directly destroyed the entire defense of Youzhou, that is, because Youzhou fell into chaos, those grassland people had the opportunity to send troops and make Youzhou their territory. "

"this……"

Du Chengfeng was speechless for a moment.

He was originally worried that the evil spirit in his arsenal would enter his body and kill the entire Ji Town. Someone had actually done such a thing before co-writing. It’s no wonder that a grinder is required to confirm when entering or leaving the arsenal. After all, compared to other people, grinders who have been dealing with evil spirits all year round are somewhat more capable when facing evil spirits entering their bodies. Be a little more resistant.

That is to say, this little extra resistance gives the grinder a chance to escape. If he can't grind it, he might as well stop grinding it. At worst, he can run out to report a message and seal the entire underground arsenal.

After all, there is more than one underground arsenal.

After learning from Youzhou's experience and lessons, arsenals in various places were renovated. Not only were the main buildings buried underground, but dozens of compartments were also divided - just like Du Chengfeng would not put all the eggs Just like putting them in a basket, the governor's offices in various places simply store the weapons in batches. In this way, if something happens to one arsenal, they can be buried directly on the spot. Anyway, there are several other arsenals available for use.

But no one knows why there is a problem with this arsenal.

"Isn't this quite right?"

Du Chengfeng keenly discovered an obvious problem in this statement.

"The weapons in the arsenal are all polished. They are usually kept in the warehouse and no one uses them to kill people. So where does the evil spirit of these weapons come from?"

"So that's the problem."

Governor Liu sighed.

"Youzhou fell, and the Ordnance Master is missing. The only information we can get is the confessions recorded by people who escaped from Youzhou. No one knows how this disaster started. Some even say it was The Ordnance Chief of Youzhou did this on purpose... That is, from that time on, the imperial court banned the recruitment of ordnance chiefs from various regions and changed them to be uniformly appointed by the imperial court. "

"Um……"

Du Chengfeng nodded.

This is understandable. It is nothing more than a way for the court to strengthen control over the border troops in Wang Gaocheng's memory. But when he thought about Wang Gaocheng's experience, Du Chengfeng felt something was wrong again.

Since Wang Gaocheng came to Jizhou, he has never entered the arsenal a few times. So what happened to the arsenal in Jizhou?

"Maybe it's the same as the time in Youzhou."

Governor Liu's voice deepened.

"I originally thought that the fall of Youzhou was due to the rebellion of the Chief of Ordnance, but now it looks like... he may have been wronged. This matter may not necessarily be related to the Chief of Ordnance, but more likely to be some other abnormality."

At this point, Governor Liu stopped.

"Okay, I can't go any further. I'm not a grinder. If I go any further, something might happen... I'll leave the next thing to you. It should be the No. 7 warehouse in front of you. If you can't, come out quickly so I can get someone to seal this arsenal."

"Don't worry, I should be able to handle it."

Although he said this, Du Chengfeng's expression became serious.

Just because even from such a distance, he had already felt the strong evil aura of the sword.

A sinister aura filled the corridor, and even the breath smelled faintly of rust.

But Du Chengfeng knew that this was not the smell of rusty weapons.

But it's the smell of blood that hasn't been seen for a long time.

"It looks like a big job..."

Carrying a package with a whetstone on his back, Du Chengfeng moved forward with a torch.

The closer he got, the more Du Chengfeng could feel the strong evil aura, which was far stronger than his thick sword.

You know, his big sword was inherited from the Yang family and fell into his hands. In the process, he killed a total of four to five hundred people.

And how many people did the weapon inside, which was more ferocious than a broadsword, kill?

Thousands of people? Or ten thousand people?

"It's amazing, this kind of thing."

Du Chengfeng couldn't help but take a deep breath.

It was clear that the front was extremely dangerous, but he was even more excited.

The more dangerous the weapon, the greater the harvest it can bring him.

It was at this time that Du Chengfeng found Warehouse No. 7 and opened the warehouse door.

However, to Du Chengfeng's expectation, the weapon that appeared in front of him did not have any bloody aura, and he could hardly feel the evil aura of the weapon.

Even, he may not have killed anyone.

"this……"

Although he still had some doubts in his heart, Du Chengfeng still followed the feeling in his heart and took down this weapon from the shelves where swords, guns, swords and halberds were placed.

This is an old general's flag.
