Chapter 208 Overlord Gun

The inn is not very far from Du Changwei's City Lord's Mansion. It takes only about twenty minutes to drive to arrive. The city lord's mansion in Baoning City is not very different from other towns. In most cases, the city lord's mansion is located in the center of the town. Even if it is not a special center, it must be near the street. However, the city lord's mansion in Baoning City is facing a slope in the south of the city.

After Zhu Daneng explained, Hu You realized that it was close to Xiaolongtan, a scenic spot in Baoning City. Because the former city lord was greedy for the beautiful scenery here, he moved the original city lord's mansion here.

Speaking of which, Du Changwei was not the city lord here. He was transferred to Baoning City more than a year ago. The reason is that the geographical location of Baoning City has changed, from the original flat land to something unintentional. In addition, after Qingzhou was ceased, the oil and water here have decreased, so the former city lord tried every means to use his family power and exchanged places with Du Changwei.

Du Changwei was also considered a noble family. His family ancestor was originally a commander of a guard army beside Rijkald. Before coming to Baoning City, he guarded a place called Shimen Town in Zhongzhou, which was close to the imperial capital circle, which was considered a good place. Although it was just a town, it was much better than the current Baoning City.

However, due to the decline of family talents and the unwillingness to be with the nobles of 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. Just in time, the former Baoning City Lord was moving around and wanted to change the city. Those nobles who followed the flow pushed Du Changwei to this Baoning City.

Although Du Changwei was promoted to a higher level, from a guard to a guard, his life was not so easy. Every district had its own forces. With Du Changwei's behavior of being opposite to the powerful, he was also unpopular when he arrived at Baoning City. So when he found that the Qingzhou Three Kingdoms coalition was in a state of turmoil, the officials from other nearby towns ignored him. It was as if the fall of Baoning City had nothing to do with them.

The official letter sent to the imperial capital was like a rock and there was no following. He didn't know that the powerful people in the imperial capital thought that Du Changwei sent the letter to complain to the superiors, but he didn't even read his official letter, so he threw it aside.

Faced with such a situation, Du Changwei was anxious and restless all night. Finally, with a reminder from a subordinate, Du Changwei thought of Hu You who had just entered Langtian City, so he sent an urgent letter of help to Hu You.

The scenery in this area is really beautiful, with fresh air and lush trees. It is surrounded by a fish-mounted peak. The mountain is not big, but pavilions and towers are built, which look like a fish leaping on a dragon gate from a distance. There is also a natural pool not far away. The water in the pool is clear and you can see fish playing. The waterfall flowing down hits countless water splashes. The breeze caresses, and the small water droplets wandering in the air swim with the wind. After the sunlight, there is a flash of golden light. How can the word "wonderful" be clearly explained?

At the gate of the city lord's mansion, there were twenty or thirty people wearing gray military uniforms. Most of them were men, only two women, and there was a child of five or six years old. It seemed that they were Du Changwei's son or grandson.

Seeing Hu You get off the carriage, everyone said in unison: "I have met the young marshal."

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

Hu You's eyes turned around on the young woman pulling the child, returned the greeting, and smiled and said, "Hello everyone. I'm very happy to see everyone."

After a wave of politeness, Du Changwei accompanied Hu You into the City Lord's Mansion. The scenery of the City Lord's Mansion was no worse than outside the mansion. It was also so magnificent and not inferior to the imperial capital.

Hu You glanced at it roughly and smiled, "It's so beautiful here. From what I see, the Water Palace is just like this."

Du Changwei smiled faintly at Hu You's evaluation. He lived a relatively simple life and did not like such magnificence. If he wanted to re-change the city lord's mansion, he needed a large number of gold coins. Although he was not happy, he could only stay there.

The group sat down in the main hall, and only a few officers who were greeting the door followed him in. The little woman who had led the child personally brought tea to Hu You, and then she was busy delivering various refreshments. One of them was busy, but no other maid came to help. Hu You felt strange, but it was difficult to ask before the crowd, so he could only hold his heart secretly.

Du Changwei said: "There is no good thing in the humble house. I have a little rough tea. Please give me some of the young marshals and all the generals."

Hu You picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. Although he was not very familiar with tea, he was used to drinking the tea brought by the four maids from the Ningnan Empire. So he also knew that Du Changwei's leaves were indeed considered coarse tea. Compared to the magnificent nature of the mansion, the tea seemed a little unpredictable.

When he put down the tea bowl, Hu You accidentally saw the child sneaking out the door. The child's eyes were not looking at him or at the beauties such as Xuan Ri, but at the pastries placed at his table. Seeing that the child was not swallowing his saliva, he obviously wanted to eat it.

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

Du Changwei replied: "That is my little grandson."

Hu You smiled and waved to the child. The child looked at the little woman hesitantly. Seeing that the little woman nodded slightly, he walked in step by step.

"Du Jiang has seen the young master." He saluted Hu You like a child.

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

Du Jiang nodded, looked at Hu You with curious eyes, and asked in a nice childish voice: "Are you the immortal bird that Mr. Shu mentioned?"

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

The little woman's voice was very nice, crisp and crisp, like a nightingale in an empty valley, making people wonder in their hearts how moving it would be if she sang a song.

"It's okay, it's okay." Hu You waved his hand and asked Xiao Du Jiang: "I'm the immortal bird. Have you heard of me?"

Xiao Du Jiang said: "The last time my mother took me to the teahouse, I heard Mr. Storytelling tell you a story."

Hu You turned his head and looked at the little woman. The mother in the mouth of Du Jiang was very much, referring to her. It seemed that the little woman should be Du Changwei's daughter-in-law.

"Oh, what did Storyteller say?"

Xiao Du Jiang said: "Mr. Storyteller said, you are very good at fighting and can shoot arrows. Those bad guys will all be shot to death with one arrow. When I grow up, I will also learn to shoot arrows, as majestic as you."

"Okay, ambitious." Hu You smiled and took a piece of pastry and said to Xiao Du Jiang: "For your ambition, I will reward you with a piece of mung bean cake so that you can grow up quickly and get a sword as soon as possible."

Xiao Du Jiang said: "Sir, can you reward me with osmanthus cake?"

Hu You had long discovered that when Xiao Du Jiang was talking, he would pay attention to the osmanthus cake from time to time and deliberately gave it to mung bean cake, deliberately trying the child's reaction. Seeing that he really spoke, he took the opportunity to ask: "Why?"

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

Hu You laughed and teased Xiao Du Jiang and said, "Okay, then I will give you osmanthus cake. But I also want to try your mother's skills, but there is only one piece here, so what should I do?"

Xiao Du Jiang obviously didn't expect Hu You to ask, his eyes rolled around several times and said tentatively: "Why do Jiang'er share half of you?"

Afraid that Hu You refused to agree, Xiao Du Jiang added: "Young Marshal should be half better, Jiang'er is a small man, and half smaller."

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

Hu You looked at the backs of the little Du Jiang and the nun, exaggerating: "What a clever child, Lord Du, the Du family has this son, and they will definitely have a big fame in the future."

Du Changwei was very pleased: "Borrow the auspicious words of the young marshal."

Hu You pondered for a moment and tentatively said, "Mr. Du, Master Ling..."

When Du Changwei heard the words, his old face twitched clearly and sighed: "The son of the dog disappeared in Qingzhou more than two years ago, and now he has no news."

Hu You was a little surprised. Du Changwei was in Zhongzhou before, so what did his son go to Qingzhou? Two years ago, wasn’t it when An Rong invaded Qingzhou? Qingzhou was fighting at that time.

Seeing Hu You's confusion, Du Changwei explained: "The dog once worshipped the Blizzard Legion and the deputy commander of the Legion Crespo as his teacher, and learned military tactics. After Dong Ducheng was broken, the dog disappeared."

When Hu You heard Du Changwei's words, he suddenly remembered someone and asked, "Is Mr. Ling's name Du Kefeng?"

Du Changwei's whole body was shocked, and then he remembered that Hu You was also a member of the Blizzard Legion before. Although he was different from his son, he was likely to know him, or even know his son's whereabouts: "Yes, the dog is named Du Kefeng, Young Marshal, do you know the dog son?"

Hu You mainly deals with the commander of the Legion of the Blizzard. Because the commander and deputy commander were not very harmonious, he was not so familiar with the deputy legion, and even if he met a few times, he could not have any friendship. Hu You knew that there was indeed a young man named Du Kefeng around him. He was a few years older than Hu You and had never talked to them. He belonged to the kind of person who knew each other but had no friendship.

Hu You nodded and said, "It's considered to be acquaintance, but because of the different relationships, the relationship is not deep."

Du Changwei asked with some trembling hands: "Young marshal can tell whether the dog is alive or dead."

At this time, Du Changwei was no longer the city guard with 50,000 troops under his command. He was just an old man who lost his children's information. Missing was often more tormenting than dying in battle. Although death in battle was so sad, it would eventually pass. But disappearing forced you to worry about it but couldn't find it. How sad it is.

The city of Dong Du was broken, and the deputy commander Crespo was captured by An Rong. Because of his lack of military power, he was listed as a secret in the army. Although there were rumors outside, there was never an official confirmation. Moreover, An Rong had never made any comments on this matter, so the outside world knew very little.

Hu You did not answer Du Changwei's question, but picked up the teacup and took a sip. Du Changwei was stunned and immediately thought that Hu You didn't want other things to know. He suppressed his desire for knowledge in his heart and did not ask again, but instead talked about other things.

After the little woman took Du Jiang down, after a while, she came up to tell Du Changwei that the food was ready and asked whether the meal would be held. At this time, Hu You already knew that the little woman was named Ru Xue, and she was Du Kefeng's wife. Because the Du family was not strong, there was only one wet nurse in the family who was in charge of housework, and Ru Xue would also help with housework. As for Du Changwei's wife, she had died many years ago.

A widower, half a little widow, a wet nurse, and a child, a family combination, if Hu You had changed his bad intentions, he would have guessed in his stomach what interesting things would happen to this family.

However, he did not have that idea at this time, because Du Changwei was different from the powerful people in the imperial capital. He had a sense of righteousness that the powerful people did not have, which was also the reason why he was not favored by the powerful people. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have been replaced here.

The little woman Ru Xue, who is very knowledgeable and well-educated, is from a great man, has knowledge and education, otherwise she would not have taught Xiao Du Jiang so sensible. These two people do not meet the conditions for having a relationship.

The banquet is very simple, and it is not an exaggeration to call these dish without delicacies. However, these ordinary home-cooked dishes are indeed very good, so Bian Fuchen, a master of cooking, kept praising them.

After the meal, the other generals said goodbye and left. Only those brought by Du Changwei and Hu You were left in the room. Du Changwei was always thinking about his son's affairs and invited Hu You to the study.

Hu You knew what Du Changwei was thinking, so he agreed happily. In Zhu Daneng and his gang stayed in the flower hall to use tea, Hu You only brought 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 room is obviously less magnificent than the magnificent outside. In a very ordinary room, opposite the front door, there is a portrait hanging. The person in the painting should be the general of the Du family who has served as the commander of the Rijkald Guard. The person in the painting is seventy-sixth-parted to Du Changwei, and one general in uniform looks domineering.

Hu You noticed that when Du Changwei came in, he bowed to the portrait and followed him with a bow. Du Changwei thanked him, asked Hu You to sit down and pour tea for Hu You himself.

Hu You 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 breaking of Dongdu City, Crespo and a group of senior officials of the deputy army were arrested by An Rongren.

Because Hu You's power was not strong enough at that time, Hu You didn't know so much, and he could give it a general idea. Du Changwei frowned tightly, and after listening to Hu You's narration without saying a word, he let out a long sigh, as if he was relieved or received some comfort. In short, his expression was very complicated, without obvious happiness, and without sadness.

After a little calming for a while, Du Changwei temporarily put down his son's affairs and started chatting with Hu You. Because Hu You wanted to learn more about Rijkaard, he deliberately or unintentionally led the topic to the guard commander of the Du family.

Through Du Changwei's story, Hu You realized that the Du family's guard commander was one of the first people to uprising Rijkald and vow to overthrow the Bauhinia Dynasty. Unfortunately, he was not in good luck and died in battle when he was about to succeed.

The last step before success made Hu You 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 You remind himself in his heart that he must not let victory go. The closer he is to success, the more calm he should be and never let it fail.

As he spoke, Du Changwei got up and went to the cabinet, took out a box, put it on the table and said, "I heard that the young marshal is good at shooting skills. I must have some research on guns. I have a gun tip here, and I want the young marshal to give a review."

Not only is my gun good, but my cannon is also good. Unfortunately, your family doesn’t have a daughter, otherwise you can see it.

The box Du Changwei took out was very simple, with beautiful dark gold patterns, which seemed to be a bit old. When he opened it, Hu You couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. The gun tip in this box was no different from the military standard gun tip he had used before, and it seemed to be old, a little rusty and dull.

Hu You was about to say a few compliments casually, but he ignored it, but for some reason, a vague shadow suddenly appeared in his heart, and there was an indescribable smell in his heart.

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

Du Changwei smiled: "Of course, please watch it as you like, Young Marshal."

Very heavy

This is the first feeling when I bought the gun tip. Hu You looked at the details and could no longer recall his eyes. Because he saw the mysterious secret secret word of the Imperial Gate on the gun tip. The rusted flower text became three Imperial Ghost - the Overlord Gun

Hu You concealed his excitement and pretended to move: "The gun's head looks dull, but it gives me a very ancient taste. It's like a lover, and it feels very familiar, it's really strange."

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

Hu You asked: "Where did you get it?"

Du Changwei pointed to the hanging image and said, "In my father, I guess it should be from the Bauhinia Dynasty, because he died in the battle when he finally attacked the palace."

Hu You nodded, and the one-armed Osmar appeared in his heart. The glove he gave was written with the words "Immune". Unfortunately, he died too early and did not come in a hurry to know more from him. However, combining the two, Hu You felt that the clue should point to the already destroyed redbud of the thousand-year dynasty.

Hu You stroked the tip of the gun: "It's very blunt, but it's very heavy."
