In the Blade

Du Chengfeng originally thought that this matter would become a big deal.

After all, these Southern Chen's captors were so powerful that they could even find out that he had killed Qi Jinshan. So, it was time for him to bear the consequences of what he had done because of a momentary impulse. Fortunately, he had been mentally prepared for this kind of thing. At most, he would really raise a big flag and fight with the Southern Chen.

Anyway, he was alone and not even a Chen person. Even if he really started fighting, he would have no burden.

Of course, the villagers of Yangjiabao and the people who came with the Ziyangshan Academy might need to be considered, but there was no need to think too much about this. Anyway, if he killed an acquaintance, he would kill ten Southern Chen governors. If he killed more, probably no one would dare to make trouble.

And then... there was nothing else.

With Du Chengfeng's level, he could only think of this extent at most. As for more, such as overthrowing the Southern Chen Dynasty or even creating a new dynasty - although he thought about it, the problem is that he can't do it. He doesn't know anything about this.

If it were old man Ruan Shantao, he might be able to do it, after all, the old man really has talent.

But Du Chengfeng...

He can't even recite poems well, so how can he do anything in the court with this level?

It might be okay to let him cook two dishes, but it would be too difficult for him to really do something big - the only thing he is good at is chopping people, and the best thing he can do is chopping people. Apart from that, he is just an ordinary person.

But if he keeps killing like this, what can he kill?

Du Chengfeng is not sure, this may be a road with no end.

However, at this time, the governor Qian who was captured alive by him designed another solution for him.

"...Are you still asleep?"

In the cleaned backyard of the governor's mansion, Du Chengfeng looked at the governor of Yizhou named Qian Jin in front of him.

"Are you serious?"

"What is confused and what is sober?"

At this moment, Qian Jin had already arranged his clothes, and the wide sleeves on his robe actually revealed a sense of vigor.

"None of this is important, is it? Just like your past, General, none of this is important... Don't mention Qi Jinshan and his ilk. Even if it is investigated later, it is because he offended the general and he will die."

"You..."

Du Chengfeng couldn't help but frown.

What about his rebellion?

"What rebellion? This governor has never heard of it."

Qian Jin shook his head repeatedly, and just looking at his firm look, it seemed as if this thing really didn't happen.

"This governor only knows that the newly appointed general of the court has led troops to Yizhou to assist in defense. As for the camp... please choose it on the map yourself."

"I'm not a general of the camp..."

Du Chengfeng frowned even tighter.

He could confirm the identity of the General Manager of Jizhou Arms, after all, this thing was the last legacy left to him by Liu Yanran - but he didn't know about the Recruiting General, and he had never even heard of this position.

Does Da Chen really have this position?

"It didn't exist before, but it does now."

Qian Jin answered very straightforwardly.

"When I submit a petition to the court, I only need to go through the process, and the position will be given... It's just a casual title, and the court doesn't need to provide troops, horses, and food, but only salary and rewards. This position is easier to get than the governor of the prefecture."

"You..."

Du Chengfeng was stunned by what he said.

If Qian Jin was just pretending and hiding something just now, then this speech directly told the truth - it is obvious that this position of Recruiting General was prepared for him, just to make this matter a small matter for him.

So he, a rebel, actually enjoyed the so-called "recruiting" after killing and setting fire?

"What else? Is there any other way for Yizhou?"

Seeing Du Chengfeng's doubts, Qian Jin couldn't help but laugh bitterly.

"Did I, Yizhou, gather the troops and fight you? Or did you lead that group of refugees to fight against the entire Dachen? It's meaningless, that kind of thing is meaningless... War means death, and many people will die. As the governor of Yizhou, I naturally don't want the people of Yizhou to suffer this disaster, so instead of letting the people die on the battlefield, it's better to use some connections to find you an official position and settle the matter."

Speaking of this, Qian Jin's voice paused.

"Whether it's Hao Chong from Yiyang or Qi Jinshan from Yanzhou, no matter how they offend you, they are all dead now. Do you want to let more living people die for the sake of two dead people?"

"Well..."

At this moment, Du Chengfeng's eyes looking at Qian Jin have changed.

When he first saw Governor Qian, he only saw the absurd scene and thought that Governor Qian was a complete waste. But now it seems... he is quite capable?

Incredible, really incredible. At least after saying this, he no longer had any reason to fight Governor Qian.

The other party was humble and humiliated, brushing aside the previous incident and even giving him an official position. If he put on that murderous attitude and wanted to fight with Nan Chen, it would be his fault.

As for his deliberate use of force...Qian Jin has already made it clear.

Is there anything else Yizhou can do?

It's nothing more than Kaicheng surrendering, and then doing whatever needs to be done. Anyway, no matter who takes over Yizhou City, the people's lives will always have to be lived.

It was at this time that Du Chengfeng realized that although Qian Jin, the governor of Yizhou, had nothing to say about his martial arts, under this set of rhetoric, he had clearly stated the interests and benefits - just like the other party As he said, Da Chen would not rashly touch an evil master just for the sake of two dead people. And with this generous treatment, it seems that he really doesn't need to fight to the death with Da Chen?

It was at this time that Qian Jin spoke again.

"If the general doesn't believe it, that's normal. After all, this is a big matter and needs to be considered carefully, which is human nature... Well, let me report to the court first and let the general see my sincerity in Yizhou. It just so happens that the general You adults can stay here in Yizhou for a few more days, what do you think?"

"Let my people go first."

Du Chengfeng thought for a while and decided to order what he could touch first.

After all, he came to the Governor's Mansion to take down Qian Jin and use it to blackmail the predators into releasing him. As for after he really releases the person...at worst, he will just run away with the person.

Anyway, with his current skills, few people in Yizhou City can stop him.

"That's natural. It was just a misunderstanding. It's just that our reception was not good enough."

Saying this, Qian Jin directly greeted his men and sent someone to the captors to notify them of their release.

Qian Jin herself stayed behind to keep her company, and continued drinking with Du Chengfeng, never mentioning any business matters again.

After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, Du Chengfeng has already discovered that Qian Jin is indeed a wonderful person - although in terms of martial arts, Qian Jin is indeed not worthy of being the governor of a state, but on this wine table However, Qian Jin's skills are first-rate. He is polite when he should be respectful, but he can also make witty remarks when he should be lively. He occasionally tells a few banquet jokes, but it is even Du Chengfeng who is his original enemy. They were all so amused that they couldn't help laughing, and even laughed heartily.

In Du Chengfeng's impression, it was Liu Bolun who had this ability.

However, in terms of personality, Qian Jin and Liu Bolun are completely different. When Liu Bolun drinks, he mostly sighs to express his depression and let the people around him sigh with him. But when Qian Jin drinks, he can make the guests and hosts enjoy themselves and make people enjoy it.

Comparing these two almost distinct characters, Du Chengfeng couldn't decide for a moment who was more powerful at the wine table.

Fortunately, he doesn't need to make any more judgment now.

Just because Liu Bolun had been brought in by several predators.

"Why are you such an old dog!"

As soon as he entered the door, Liu Bolun gave a loud shout and flew towards the wine table.

Immediately afterwards, he picked up the gourd from his waist and slapped Qian Jin on the head with the gourd.

For a moment, the banquet that was supposed to be a feast for the guests and the host suddenly became chaotic. All the cups, plates, bowls and chopsticks were thrown on the floor. Several predators wanted to go over to start a fight, but when they saw Du Chengfeng sitting aside, they Du Chengfeng didn't dare to come forward - but Du Chengfeng still hadn't recovered from the drunkenness, so this banquet, which was originally a feast for the guests and the host, was all about Liu Bolun's one-sided confrontation with Qian Jin. Beaten.

"this……"

Seeing that Qian Jin had been beaten with blood by the wine gourd, Du Chengfeng, who came back to his senses, couldn't stand it anymore.

"Lao Liu, wait a minute, if you beat me again you will really be beaten to death... What do you mean, do you know this person?"

"This is my adopted son. How can the father not know his son?"

As he spoke, Liu Bolun continued to beat him.

But taking advantage of this opportunity, Qian Jin had already stood up, turned around and ran away. He even took a short knife and put it in front of him as a shield.

The fight was like this. With Liu Bolun's little physical strength, he was already a little unable to withstand it. What's more, Du Chengfeng was also quite curious. Liu Bolun and Qian Jin were obviously similar in age, but how could he become this godfather? , so after calling the predators to remove the overturned food and wine, Du Chengfeng also pulled Liu Bolun to sit down first.

After Liu Bolun spoke, Du Chengfeng also knew that these two wine-table war gods actually had a past.

It turns out that Qian Jin was not called Qian Jin before, but his real name was Qian Jin. He was a student from Jiankang City, and he and Liu Bolun were former classmates - but although they were both students, they had different fates. After achieving academic success, Qian Jin took some paths and transferred directly to Guozixue. And this Liu Bolun...

After listening to Qian Jin's advice, Liu Bolun also went to Ruan Shantao's family, and then the old man sent a piece of paper directly to Yanzhou in the north.

"Then there's something wrong with the teacher you found! It's not my fault! How can you blame me for this!"

Holding a short table to protect himself, Qian Jin argued with reason.

"I already told you that we wanted to go to Guozi to study together! You said you've had enough of studying and don't want to go! Can you blame me for this?"

"Do you think I hit you just for this?"

After spitting on the ground, Liu Bolun turned to look at Du Chengfeng.

"Brother, this old dog has never spoken a word of truth. Leave quickly, otherwise the masters of the imperial court will come from Jiankang."

"What do you mean I didn't tell the truth! What I gave was obviously a good idea!"

Hearing what Liu Bolun said, Qian Jin immediately stiffened his neck.

"As long as he becomes the General of Recruiting and Suppressing, the problem will be solved. Otherwise, what can you do? Are you really going to join those refugees and rebel with him? He won't die, but what about you? Can you survive? It's as if if you rebel, the masters of the court won't come."

"You dog!"

The angry Liu Bolun swung the wine gourd again.

But this time, the wine gourd he swung didn't hit him.

There was no way. Liu Bolun himself knew that no matter how angry he was, what Qian Jin said was the truth after all - even if this amnesty looked like a trap, it only looked like a trap after all. The title of General of Recruiting and Suppressing can indeed solve the problem, and the masters of the court may not really come.

On the contrary, if they really raised the flag to rebel, the fact that the masters of the court came to suppress the rebellion would be real.

What's more, are they really ready to rebel?

The refugees should not want to rebel, they just want to live a peaceful life. The people of Ziyangshan Academy probably didn't have this idea either. After all, they inherited Ruan Shantao's benevolence and righteousness, and were more accustomed to peace. As for the few people around Du Chengfeng... Carpenter Li is not much different from the refugees, and Cui Yuan, who is obsessed with swordsmanship, probably doesn't even know what rebellion is. As for himself, even though he sighs and groans at Dachen all day long, if he is really asked to raise the flag and rebel, he can't do it.

As for Du Chengfeng himself...

After such a period of getting along, Liu Bolun has already known that even this real rebel has no intention of rebelling.

No matter what Dachen is like, it doesn't matter to Du Chengfeng. Even if the emperor of Dachen is replaced by the Khan of the grassland, it probably doesn't make any difference to Du Chengfeng. When he first met him, he thought that Du Chengfeng might have a different personality like those masters, but after getting along for a period of time, he already knew that Du Chengfeng's temperament was similar to those refugees.

They all just want to live a good life behind closed doors. As for conquering the world, that kind of thing has nothing to do with them.

"Indeed, I really don't want to rebel."

As expected, just as Liu Bolun thought, Du Chengfeng spoke.

"But I also want to find a place to practice with the masters of the court."

"...Wait a minute?"

Liu Bolun's brain is not enough.

What does it mean to find a place to practice?

"So hurry up and let your masters of the court come over."

It was at this time that Liu Bolun saw the excitement in Du Chengfeng's eyes.

That excitement and joy, as well as the inexplicable sense of expectation... It was exactly the same as when he killed Qi Jinshan in the depths of the Yanzhou arsenal!

"Depend on you, you will definitely let them come, right?"

Picking up the exaggerated halberd, Du Chengfeng patted Qian Jin's shoulder hard.

"I can't wait any longer!"
