In the Blade

Yanzhou City is a large city with a population of more than 100,000.

Of course, the more than 100,000 people here are just the number on the surface, that is, including all the people in the city and the entire Yanzhou territory, minus some who have never registered, live in seclusion, or are simply not recorded in the register. ...In short, after some calculations, we got such a number that everyone can recognize.

In the view of Du Chengfeng, a Taiping man, this city may be a bit small, but to the people in Jibei in the team, Yanzhou City is much larger than Ji Town.

"There is a wall here after all."

Looking up at the towering walls of Yanzhou City, Du Chengfeng couldn't help but sigh.

Unlike the city in Ji Town, which could only be regarded as a large fortress, this Yanzhou City was surrounded by a city wall. Although the height of less than two feet is not too high, the wall is quite thick.

Du Chengfeng roughly estimated that if He Xiqing remained a monster and only relied on the bloody sword light drawn out after the evil spirit entered the body, it might be possible to defeat Ji Town, but it would take a lot of money to defeat Yanzhou. It takes some effort.

And this means that inside the wall, it is synonymous with safety.

So for such a safe place, it is normal to have security checks.

"Take out everything and go through it! Especially those with sharp edges and blades...be careful, this is Yanzhou! Not you Jibei!"

Several soldiers maintained order in the team while shouting at the people in Yangjiabao.

"I know you guys in Jibei don't care about this! But here in Yanzhou, no resentful soldiers who have killed anyone are allowed to enter the city! Now I give you one last chance! Take out all the contraband!"

"Uh, is the investigation so strict...Wait a minute?"

Du Chengfeng suddenly frowned.

"Brother, what kind of soldier did you just say that killed people?"

"Resentful soldiers."

The soldier who was pulled by Du Chengfeng was stunned for a moment, then frowned and looked at Du Chengfeng.

"You guys in Jibei fight and kill people every day. Don't you know this?"

"...Would you wait a moment?"

Du Chengfeng was confused when asked directly.

He knew that people would die in a fight, but what that thing produced was a vicious weapon. What happened to the resentful soldier?

Fortunately, the soldier he held was also a talkative person, and in a few words, he was able to clear up Du Chengfeng's confusion.

It turns out that the Resentful Soldier and the Fierce Weapon are almost the same concept. In other words, they are just different names for the same thing - of course, if there is any difference, it is that the academy in the mountain has recently researched The new theory says that the evil spirit on these weapons should be understood as the resentment of the deceased, which is why people's temperaments change drastically, and they even become murderous demons.

Since this statement sounds reasonable, Yanzhou also uses the term "resentful soldiers". On the one hand, it is naturally following the trend, and on the other hand, it is also to clarify the danger of these fierce weapons.

After all, the Fierce Weapon may sound a bit powerful, but the Resentful Weapon sounds more annoying. This can also prevent many people from coming into contact with this thing out of curiosity, and then falling into madness and starting to cause murders everywhere.

"That's about it."

The soldier in the helmet and armor roughly explained it once, and his words were quite polite.

But as a listener, Du Chengfeng just felt like he was in another world.

He fell into madness when he touched the evil weapon... When did this happen?

It seems to have been a long time ago. After all, at the level he was in contact with, everyone had already started to have evil energy enter their bodies. If he didn't have hundreds of lives in his hands, he might not even be able to use the sword light - even the weakest Li The carpenter had already beheaded more than twenty people with his own hands, which in Du Chengfeng's opinion was already very few.

But looking at it now, the people here can't even withstand ordinary evil spirits...

"Hey, no."

Du Chengfeng came back to his senses and slapped his forehead.

It's okay if he can't stand it. He shouldn't compare himself with these people. This is a normal life for them. There's nothing that cuts people in half, there's nothing like sewer and brains all over the floor, and they don't do it at every turn. Slaughter hundreds of people to warm up, this is the normal life.

Looking back on his own side...how many people did he kill when he was in Jibei?

I can’t remember clearly, after all, he was moving his hands in the way of gaining experience.

Does anyone know how to calculate how many grains of rice they eat in one meal?

"There seems to be something wrong with this calculation method..."

Du Chengfeng patted his head, trying to normalize his thinking.

But the folks in Yangjiabao had already been inspected by these soldiers.

There were no prohibited items on anyone's body, nor on the cart. Yang Xuan seemed to have expected this kind of inspection, but the folks from Yangjiabao didn't even bring half of their weapons - if it must be said If there is any problem, it is the ancient battle ax in Carpenter Li's hand, but it is normal for a carpenter to carry an ax with him.

Of course, the most important thing is that the ax head was broken once, but now it looks like a dead one, without any evil spirit on it.

This made Du Chengfeng sigh in relief.

Carpenter Li can pass the security check, so he can pass it here too. After all, the weapon in his hand has been broken, so there is no evil aura on it.

However, for the sake of safety, when the soldiers were about to check the saddle bags, he still used force in advance and broke the thick sword again.

"Broken knife."

The soldiers only frowned slightly at the heavy sword that was broken into two pieces.

"Your thing..."

"Use it as a hatchet."

As he spoke, Du Chengfeng picked up the half-broken blade with the handle and gestured twice.

Not to mention, this long-handled, short-bladed broken sword does look like a good firewood chopper.

"I kept the blade instead of throwing it away. After all, it's an heirloom, so I'll keep it as a memory."

"Ah, you can bring tools in."

The soldiers nodded, but then frowned.

"Your long... weapon? Where did you get this broken horse sword?"

In just a moment, these soldiers immediately surrounded Du Chengfeng, and each of them pointed their spears at Du Chengfeng, and the scene was tense for a while.

"Hurry up and tell me! Possessing weapons privately is a serious crime! If you tell me your boss, you can get a lighter sentence! If you don't tell me..."

"No, it's not a weapon, it's a replica, this is a replica."

The Broken Horse Sword was thrown on the ground, and Du Chengfeng pulled out the scabbard, and then the whole blade was safely exposed.

"Souvenir, pure souvenir, you see, this sword is clean, and it has never killed anyone."

"This... is true."

The soldiers guarding the city took a few glances and put away their weapons.

There was no evil spirit on the sword, and traces of fracture and continuation could be vaguely seen on the sword. Of course, the most important thing is that this is a sword, not a sword. As long as it is not a military weapon like the Broken Horse Sword, it is not taboo.

"You can take it with you, but you have to put it in your bag. After entering the city, you are not allowed to take it out. If you are found, it will be confiscated on the spot. Do you understand?"

While saying this, the leading soldier raised his hand and patted Du Chengfeng's chest.

"I know that the people in Jibei are tough and like to collect this kind of stuff, but this is Yanzhou, you at least... um? What do you have in your arms?"

"I..."

Du Chengfeng immediately felt a toothache.

He still had seventeen knives in his arms, all of which were weapons that had seen blood, but he had forgotten about it.

"There are also weapons here!"

Just when Du Chengfeng was still thinking about the reason, the soldier who was checking the saddle bag shouted.

"Quick! Open the bag!"

"This..."

Du Chengfeng turned around and saw that the soldiers had copied a phoenix battle flag from the saddle bag.

Good guy, he almost forgot that he had this thing, but it was actually found out by these soldiers.

No matter what the reason is, it is untenable now. Even if the Broken Horse Long Sword can get away with it, this battle flag is a real weapon, plus the seventeen knives on his body, he was caught red-handed this time.

"Well, listen to my explanation. I am actually a grinding craftsman. My name is Du Chengfeng..."

While trying to convince these soldiers, Du Chengfeng subconsciously narrowed his eyes.

The soldier closest to him was only three and a half steps away, just within the coverage of Tiger Leap. Even if he was unarmed at the moment, the stretch of his spine was enough to smack the man's head into the cavity - and then this shrunken corpse could be used as a shield to block the spears that might stab him. He could take this opportunity to draw out the waist knife of the corpse, cut the necks of three people with a flying dragon knife, and then grab another spear down...

"Du Chengfeng... Wait, you said you are Du Chengfeng?"

Just when Du Chengfeng stretched his spine and was about to throw himself out, the leading soldier suddenly turned his head.

"Where are you from? Where is Jibei?"

"Yangjiabao, what's wrong?"

The action that was about to start was interrupted by the question, which made Du Chengfeng a little confused.

If he remembered correctly, his name had only been spread by the Yang family in Jizhou for a while. How come it seemed that Yanzhou had also heard of him?

"Du Chengfeng from Yangjiabao, that's right."

The leading soldier called on his companions to put down their weapons.

"Don't be nervous, it's normal for him to have military equipment. After all, he is the military equipment manager of Jizhen Dudufu, and he is one of us!"

"...Wait a minute?"

Du Chengfeng was getting more and more confused.

If he remembered correctly, he should have just taken some work from Jizhou Dudufu as an outsourcer. How come he suddenly became the military equipment manager?

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng couldn't help but think of the big face of Liu Yanran, the military commander of Jizhou.

"Could it be that the mentally ill man did something big for me..."

Du Chengfeng always felt that something was wrong with this matter.

And when he entered the city under the leadership of the soldiers, he realized what kind of gift Liu Yanran, who had seen a ghost, had left for him.

As expected, two pictures a day is still a suitable number. I was so dizzy when writing the third chapter. Anyway, this chapter will not be counted in the normal update. Good morning, everyone.
