In the Blade

After carefully questioning Liu Bolun, Du Chengfeng finally knew what had happened during his ten days of seclusion.

On the first day of his seclusion, Qian Jin died, which made it hard not to let people imagine. The governor's office wanted to come over to ask for an explanation, but they didn't dare to make a scene because of Du Chengfeng's terrifying force. So after thinking about it, the chief clerk of Yizhou City could only send someone to ask the refugees in Jibei in the old barracks to see what this meant.

It was said that they were asking these refugees, but in fact, they were asking them to help ask Du Chengfeng. This was a roundabout way, and everyone kept some basic face.

But how could the refugees in Jibei understand this?

Suddenly someone came and said that the governor was dead, and they were going to rebel. The folks in Jibei were also confused.

Is it really going to rebel?

It doesn't seem to have reached that level yet? Although they were displaced and their lives were a bit tight, they were all settled down and naturally had a bright future. As for Du Chengfeng, they were all familiar with him and knew that Du Zhuangshi was just like them, just a man who lived a daily life. It was impossible for him to work more, so how could you expect him to rebel?

But no matter what, the governor of Yizhou was indeed dead. The corpses were shoveled into the coffin and the buffet was set up.

So, after the banquet, the villagers could only find Old Man Yang and Liu Bolun. These two were the only two smart people in the team. One was the elder of a wealthy family and the other was a retired official. They must have seen this matter more thoroughly. Of course, for such a big thing, they must first find Old Man Yang, who was a native of Jibei.

However, when the villagers found Old Man Yang, they found that the reaction of this calm old man was even more intense than theirs.

"So that's how it is, so that's how it is... No wonder this warrior came to Yangjiabao, it turns out that the ancestors showed up, and the ancestors want our Yang family to do it again! Let's start from the dragon again!"

While trembling, Old Man Yang ran out to gather the children of the Yang family, ready to talk about something important.

This was the first time that the villagers saw someone could rock the wheelchair so fast, it was like flying on the ground, and they couldn't see the wheels clearly.

It was obvious that although they didn't know the reason, Old Man Yang had already screamed and was insane.

So the villagers could only settle for the second best and come to ask Liu Bolun, a Yanzhou native, what he thought.

Fortunately, although Liu Bolun was a drunkard, he was not insane, and even when he was drunk, he still answered them in an organized manner.

"I don't know much about what you are talking about, but don't go to Du Chengfeng's place... This is for your own good. After all, he is in a bit of danger these days."

This is the truth, and it is also the reason why Du Chengfeng needs to find a venue. Before, Du Chengfeng was pointed out by Liu Bolun. After realizing that he was sharpening his knife, he began to study this thing in seclusion. Although this "mysterious" state is good for himself, it may not be for others.

For example, in the simplest example, if Du Chengfeng unconsciously activates the flaming blade and stabs it out from a distance of five meters, it will be a major safety accident if it sweeps anything.

So for the safety of these villagers, Liu Bolun, even if he is drunk, remember not to let others rush over.

"He is studying the true meaning of power."

Considering that the villagers don't know what evil spirit is, and don't know what is mysterious, Liu Bolun used a euphemism at the time.

"He is thinking about how he got his power. Give him some time, okay?"

But who would have thought that when this was said, the villagers were in an uproar.

The villagers did not understand the true meaning of power, but when it came to who was the most powerful, they all knew it - as everyone knows, the land under heaven belongs to the king, and the most powerful person is of course the emperor. Of course, they have never seen whether the emperor can fight, but they at least know that the emperor can kill at least a village with a word.

This is undoubtedly the embodiment of power, and the emperor must be the most powerful.

As for the true meaning of power...isn't this the reason for being an emperor?

With this preconceived idea, it is easy to explain how the power came later. It is nothing more than how to become an emperor and where to start - obviously, no matter when, if you want to be an emperor, raising the flag of rebellion is always the first step.

If you think in this way, then Qian Jin's death will become normal.

It's right, all right.

Even if Liu Bolun, who had sobered up from the alcohol, realized that something was wrong and wanted to say something to make amends, it was too late.

"I understand what you mean! We have completely understood it!"

No matter how Liu Bolun presented facts and reasoned, the villagers of Jibei no longer believed him. After all, they felt that they had understood the wit in Mr. Liu's words and found the real correct answer.

And Liu Bolun's efforts to make amends, in their opinion, were more like a reminder for them to act in secret and not to make a fuss.

Doing big things must be a little more secretive, they have heard about it in the storytelling books, and since Mr. Liu made a kind suggestion, they would naturally listen to it - if they were to be counted according to the storytelling books, they were the rebel army, and this learned Mr. Liu would be their dog-headed military advisor.

Of course, not everyone is willing to be a rebel, and most people are actually not very happy to do this.

But do they still have a choice?

These folks from Jibei are just ignorant, but they are definitely not stupid. From Jibei to Yizhou, they have long been tied to Du Chengfeng - if Du Chengfeng's uprising fails, They will definitely be liquidated together. After all, in the eyes of the outside world, they, the remaining refugees in Jibei, are one.

If they don't follow Juyi, Du Chengfeng will be defeated, and they will die. If they follow Juyi, they will die in battle, but as old man Yang said, defeating them is the merit of following the dragon.

"Then the answer becomes obvious, they choose to do it with you."

While saying this, Liu Bolun picked up a hoof, held it and gnawed it.

"I know what you are going to say, but this is really not my problem... It was only later that I figured out that instead of asking for an answer, they need someone to help them accept the reality."

Saying this, Liu Bolun pointed to the table of dishes in front of him.

"The reality is this. Qian Jin has been buried. The truth is no longer important. Regardless of whether you kill Qian Jin or not, the court is ready to use troops to reason with you... unless you can make Qian Jin live."

"this……"

Du Chengfeng was speechless for a long time.

It seems like it’s not impossible?

After all, there is still such nonsense in this world as "strong will can change reality". In other words, he may really be able to find a way to resurrect people - but obviously, so far, he has not listened. It is said that there is anyone who can really resurrect the dead, but in those legends and rumors, there has never been such a person.

What's more, Qian Jin's death was a bit too abstract. All the bones in his body were smashed, and the entire body was beaten into a pulp. Even the best doctor probably wouldn't be able to piece together such a pile of stuff. .

How much willpower is needed to turn such a pile of things into a living Qian Jin?

Du Chengfeng didn't know, he only knew that he shouldn't be able to do it.

After all, he himself has undergone various tests in the past ten days. You must know that he is very worried that because of Liu Bolun's point, his ability will fail on the spot - after all, this so-called "mysterious and mysterious", In Du Chengfeng's opinion, it's just like that magic trick. Once someone tells him that it's broken, he doesn't believe it anymore. Can this thing still work?

As for the results of the test...

It can indeed be done.

After all, these are his own abilities, which have even been verified in battle and life. Wanting to use them is as natural as eating and drinking - does anyone doubt whether he can eat and drink?

But on the other hand, there are other more outrageous things that he can't do, such as resurrecting the dead. He absolutely cannot handle this kind of thing. After all, he doesn't believe that the dead can be resurrected from the bottom of his heart.

However, the problem is stuck here. Unless Qian Jin can be resurrected, even if everyone in the Governor's Mansion can confirm that he has not been there that day, the soldiers and horses of the Nanchen court will not believe it.

Just like Liu Bolun said, the truth is no longer important. The troops of the Nanchen court are not here to investigate the case, they are just here to quell the rebellion.

The truth may be needed to investigate a case, but location is all that is needed to counter a rebellion.

"Oh no, who did I offend?"

Du Chengfeng suddenly felt confused.

If he really did something, such as killing Qi Jinshan, then he would admit it, but now he has clearly done nothing and yet he can be blamed on his head. It makes no sense, it really makes no sense. .

"Since it doesn't make sense, then we can only try to be reasonable."

Saying this, Du Chengfeng clenched his fists.

"As long as I impress them with my sincerity, they should be able to understand me."

"That's true."

Liu Bolun, who was chewing Sixi meatballs, nodded repeatedly.

"So how are you going to fight?"

"With Euphorbia...no, I mean, with my sincerity."

Du Chengfeng put back the euphorbia he had just picked up.

"I mean, as long as I speak well and explain things clearly, they will definitely understand me, right?"

"Theoretically...that's it."

Hearing what Du Chengfeng said, Liu Bolun was suddenly stunned.

Not only in theory, but also in practice it seems that it should be like this. Explain things clearly and make decisions based on the truth. This is what Chen should do. He also taught this when he was studying the sages in Taixue - so When did he start to feel that the truth was no longer important?

"So... did you kill him or not?"

"I really didn't kill him."

Du Chengfeng told the truth.

"You saw that I was in seclusion. I haven't gone out these days, and it's not like you haven't seen me do it. If it were me, the body would only be split in half, and it would be burned to ashes if it was held up to the sky."

"This...hey."

With a sigh, Liu Bolun continued to pick up the wine jar and drink heavily.

However, no matter how drunk Liu Bolun was, the imperial army still arrived as scheduled.

Facing the rebellion in Yizhou, only three people were sent from the court.
