In the Blade

Du Chengfeng never imagined that someone would reveal his identity as a rebel even though he had already taken out his seal, ribbon and confession documents.

As for whether it was true or false, it is not that important. After all, the county magistrate has already ordered an action to capture him on the spot - does he have to wait until he is imprisoned to clear his grievances? Thing?

Of course, if he really hasn't done it before, it can indeed be cleaned.

But the problem is, he really did it.

This is not something that can be investigated. If we really want to investigate further, I am afraid that not all the traces of his crimes will be found - so as the chief ordnance manager of Jizhou, as an innocent and good citizen, Du Chengfeng felt that he had to let Things stop here.

"Now that you've seen it...then I've seen it too."

Du Chengfeng casually grabbed a water and fire stick, rounded the stick, and immediately beat the government officials to their knees.

Then, Du Chengfeng pointed to the body on the ground.

"These thieves from the Taiyin Mountain Temple are so audacious. They actually dared to attack the county government and kill officials in rebellion..."

"……What?"

The county magistrate Hao Chong was so shocked that he could not come to his senses.

That Zhang Qinai was a close friend of his, and had personally taught him the art of black and white. Why did he suddenly become a bold thief?

They even attacked the county government and killed officials to rebel...wait, kill officials?

"hiss!"

County Magistrate Hao Chong, who finally came to his senses, felt like he was dead. His whole back was instantly wet with cold sweat, and even his pants were soaked with water.

However, at this moment of life and death, what Hao Chong thought of was still the art of the mysterious female.

It is said that there is great terror between life and death. Although Hao Chong has been insisting on practicing, he has never been as eager to practice the art of Xuan Ming again as he is now - if he could have such a heart towards Tao in the past, I'm afraid he has already achieved success in his mysterious female skills, and is as free and carefree as Zhang Xianchang on Taiyin Mountain.

But the problem is, even that Zhang Xianchang was beaten to pieces in the end...

"……Um?"

Just when the county magistrate Hao Chong was in a daze, he suddenly discovered that the strong man named Du Chengfeng actually walked out just like that.

He was not dead, but the rebel who threatened to kill officials and rebel was gone.

Could it be said that God really has the virtue of good life?

"call……"

Hao Chong, who had narrowly escaped death, immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He was so lucky to have survived the disaster that his muscles and bones went limp. The government officials who were knocked to the ground also supported each other and pointed at the lower third road with their swords. He scolded the street in Tibetan language.

However, just when the crowd was bustling, the strong man named Du Chengfeng came back again.

He was also carrying a saddle bag in his hand.

The saddlebags were spread out on the ground, and a row of shining weapons caught everyone's attention.

"Who should I use..."

Glancing at the row of weapons in the saddle bag, Du Chengfeng scratched his head.

It was at this time that the county magistrate Hao Chong and all the government officials realized that the strong man named Du Chengfeng had not left, but had gone out to get a weapon.

"The decision is yours!"

As he said this, a strange sword without an edge was pulled out from the saddle bag.

Just hearing a bang, the county magistrate Hao Chong was immediately beaten until his brains burst and he died.

"Killing people!!!"

Seeing that the county magistrate was beaten to death with a sword, all the government officials immediately fled in all directions.

But Du Chengfeng would not let these witnesses run away. After just a few ups and downs, Du Chengfeng chased after them and broke the limbs of these government officials.

It was just a matter of breaking his hands and feet. Du Chengfeng asked himself that he was not a murderous person, so how could he do such things as killing innocent people indiscriminately and taking human life lightly.

"That's fine."

Looking at the Founder's Sword in his hand, Du Chengfeng thought for a while and finally did not swing the sword down.

But just when these government officials were overjoyed and thought they had finally escaped, they saw Du Chengfeng whistle outside the county government office.

Immediately afterwards, these government officials saw more than thirty ferocious prairie men filing in. They tied them up in just a few strokes and carried them out.

The refugee team, which had lost over a hundred people due to the Taiyin Mountain Temple Incident, finally welcomed new members.

After Du Chengfeng left the county government office, the rest of the prairie warriors also came over on horseback. These prairie warriors were worthy of their reputation as elites. They were less than 300 people, but they managed to outrun thousands of troops. The momentum of the horse - the entire Yiyang County suddenly fell into chaos. For a while, people thought that the grassland people had captured Yanzhou, bypassed Taiyin Mountain, and fought all the way over.

It was in this chaos that Du Chengfeng asked Liu Bolun for a few jars of wine, and then burned down the county government office.

After everything turns to ashes, there will be no evidence left.

"You...well, you did the right thing."

This time when he asked for a drink, Liu Bolun was sober. After listening to Du Chengfeng's story, Liu Bolun had already realized that the magistrate of Yiyang County and Zhang Qi probably knew each other. I'm afraid they were preparing to cause harm to others - if they hadn't caught up with Du Chengfeng, a true rebel, they might not all have died here. You must know that Du Chengfeng came out with the seal and ribbon. Even if it was for self-protection, the Yiyang County Magistrate would not leave him alive.

Du Chengfeng's current arrangement was the best solution in a desperate situation.

Anyway, we can just blame the grassland people. This is all the grassland people's conspiracy. The hateful grassland people have already laid many hidden cards in Dachen. Zhang Qi of the Taiyin Mountain Temple is one of the spies. Now the grassland people are unstoppable. With the support of the grassland people, the people of the mountain temple are also killing officials and rebelling. They are ready to directly raise the banner and surrender to the Mobei King's Court.

However, the county magistrate Hao Chong is a stubborn person. He would rather die than obey. He also died in a battle with the grassland bandits like the governor Qi Jinshan.

And these refugees in Yanzhou can only continue to flee south and avoid the front of the army like the people in Yiyang County.

It's a pity for the manor in Taiyin Mountain. Du Chengfeng actually thinks it's not bad to live there.

"So it's me again, right?"

On the edge of Yiyang County, on the carriage heading south, Liu Bolun sighed.

"Okay, I'll go and tell everyone to pay attention. Anyway, it was a chaotic night, and many people didn't know what happened. Now this statement is an explanation... So why am I doing all the work? Can't you change someone else?"

"Hey, the more capable you are, the more work you do. Thank you for your hard work."

Du Chengfeng bowed to Liu Bolun, looking apologetic.

This was not just a polite remark. At least in his eyes, Liu Bolun was really capable - this was already very obvious in Yanzhou before. Du Chengfeng could never have imagined that Liu Bolun could actually evacuate 100,000 residents within five days, leaving an empty city for him to fight.

Is this really something a human can do?

You know, killing 100,000 people is already an extremely difficult thing, but Liu Bolun managed to make these 100,000 people evacuate in an orderly manner within five days - although this must be inseparable from the assistance of a group of petty officials, and the spontaneous cooperation of the people, but only with a group of petty officials to achieve such a feat, and the people knew that they would leave their homes and were willing to choose to cooperate, this shows Liu Bolun's ability.

As a person who was pointed out by Old Man Ruan and placed in the north, Liu Bolun is different from the waste Wang Gaocheng. This person can really take up things at critical moments.

If there must be any shortcomings, it is that although Liu Bolun is capable, he often chooses not to use it.

Compared with using his talents, Liu Bolun prefers to drink.

Just like now.

"Hey..."

Another long sigh, Liu Bolun has not done his work yet, but he picked up the wine jar first.

"No, why are you starting again?"

Seeing that Liu Bolun was sober for a while and wanted to drink again, Du Chengfeng couldn't help shaking his head.

"Drink less, it's not good for your health. Drinking too much can easily damage your brain and cause early death."

"I know the truth, but... hey."

Liu Bolun sighed again while holding the wine jar in his arms.

"I just can't imagine that a mere county magistrate in Shannan Road can be so cruel. Not only did he condone the massacre of the people in the mountain temple, but he even wanted to fabricate charges and wrongly kill his superiors after the incident. This is simply... hey."

At this point, Liu Bolun simply broke the mud seal and drank a big mouthful of wine.

"...Don't persuade me, I just need to drink some wine to boost my confidence before doing this. After all, I know the truth is so dirty, but I have to tell people some beautiful lies..."

"If you can't do it, forget it. Don't force yourself. At worst, I can do it myself."

At this point, Du Chengfeng couldn't stand it anymore.

But Liu Bolun shook his head.

"You can't do it. If you're not drunk, no one will believe you. I'm different. When I'm drunk, I say all my talk. They think what I say is true."

Saying this, Liu Bolun jumped off the carriage and headed for the refugee team behind.

They had just rested for a few days and they started fleeing again, which made the whole team look a little dull. The folks in Yangjiabao were better off. After all, they had been fleeing since Jibei, and now they were a little used to this kind of life on the road. The new refugees in Yanzhou were the ones who suffered the most. These people left their homes because of the war and finally fled to Shannan Road. They even had the opportunity to seek immortal fate. Who would have thought that those monks who looked kind would do such a thing.

They were even worse than those grassland people. At least those grassland people really faced the sharp swords to protect them.

They thought they could settle down by fleeing to Shannan Road, but who knew that this only remaining hope was shattered. The monks who they thought were saviors wanted to kill them, and the grassland people who were once enemies protected them instead... In just a few days, these refugees in Yanzhou have experienced too much. Now they are walking on the road to the south again. Many people have no thoughts in their hearts, only confusion.

Who is the enemy? Who is our own? Where can they really settle down and live their previous lives?

The world is so big, where should they go?

"Why think so much! Drink, drink!"

At this time, Liu Bolun came over with a jar of wine.

"This is all the good wine I brewed. If I wasn't in a good mood today, you might not be able to drink this kind of good stuff in your life... Come on! Come on! Take a sip! If not enough, there are more! There are plenty in the car!"

"In a good mood?"

Seeing Liu Bolun's unruly appearance, many refugees have already blackened their faces.

"Everyone is fleeing, and you are in a good mood?"

"Of course I'm in a good mood. You don't know what happened."

As he said this, Liu Bolun pulled the refugees with ugly faces over and lowered his voice.

"I tell you, it's a good thing we ran fast, otherwise, Yiyang County is just a county town..."

Then there was a more secretive voice, even the refugees who were a little further away couldn't hear it clearly, and only the people who were close to Liu Bolun could hear what he was saying.

Then, these people shouted loudly.

"What? The grassland people actually fought so fast..."

"Keep your voice down! Do you want to scare everyone to death!"

Liu Bolun slapped the nearest refugee on the head.

"Anyway, the county town is really unsafe, we still have to go to the big city, to the state capital...Anyway, don't tell anyone about what happened just now, after all, I didn't see those grassland people with my own eyes, these are all guesses..."

"I know what you mean."

Several refugees nodded repeatedly and promised Liu Bolun that they would keep their mouths shut.

After that, Liu Bolun carried the wine jar and walked around the refugee team for a while, until it was dark and the team was ready to set up camp and rest, then he returned to the cart leading the way in the front row.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Seeing that the cart beside Liu Bolun was full of empty jars, and even the last wine jar in his arms was empty, Du Chengfeng thought about it and simply took a gourd from his waist and handed it to Liu Bolun.

Thinking back to the beginning, this wine gourd was given to him by Liu Bolun, and now this last gourd of wine has returned to Liu Bolun's hands.

"Forget it, there is only this much left, drink a little less."

After just opening the lid and smelling the smell, Liu Bolun hung the gourd back on his waist.

"I don't know when I will make wine next time... Hey, Dachen."

"Just go to Yizhou, right? Just like you said, it is the capital after all."

At this point, Du Chengfeng couldn't help but look up to the southeast.

That is the direction of Yizhou.

Although the time in Yiyang County was brief, it also gave him a general understanding of the ability of the Southern Chen Dynasty to deal with refugees. A mountain temple alone can gather tens of thousands of people, so when they arrive in Yizhou, these refugees should be able to find their own shelter.

"Let's see after we go there, maybe I can also live in Yizhou."

Du Chengfeng thought so.

At the same time, the chaos in Yiyang County was also reported to Yizhou City by express horses.

The second update is here, two chapters and eight thousand words, completely resting in the world of the living, I will go to swing a few sets of sledgehammers and rest, everyone should also rest early.

In addition: Thank you for your recommendation votes and monthly tickets, thank you for your support and encouragement.

Thank you for my little sickle that will not lose, I really can't think of a good name, so I can only reward on the stairs, it is a waste of money.

Thank you for your support and love, see you tomorrow afternoon.
