In the Blade

Originally, Du Chengfeng expected that the course of the riot would be like this.

First, Ruan Shantao, the strongest person in Yanzhou, was targeted for elimination, and then riots broke out in the city. It was obvious that this was a set of plans that were linked to each other and had even been arranged for a long time - and all of this was obviously Xiang Rong's handiwork. As Ruan Shantao's old friend, he was also a person who could rival Ruan Shantao. This ability to fall into the city in one day is really daunting.

And unlike He Xiqing's previous hard fight, which only broke through a Ji Town fortress, Xiang Rong did not use a single soldier, but he had already plunged the entire Yanzhou City into chaos.

"But, it's not like there are really no soldiers at all..."

This is what Du Chengfeng is most confused about. If he were to do this... let alone soldiers, the riots in Yanzhou City were like that before. Even if he just brought a group of bandits, he might be able to take advantage of it. Take this city down indiscriminately.

But now...no.

Nothing.

After just one riot, the danger in Yanzhou City seemed to have passed.

"We... won."

"We won!!!"

The soldiers cheered one after another, as if they could forget the pain on their bodies, and the predators also breathed a sigh of relief. They were glad that they finally survived. Although the people in the city who collected the corpses were hurt, they worked hard to maintain the atmosphere of victory. After all, these people who had just escaped death really needed the momentum of victory to dilute the previous despair and panic.

In the Governor's Mansion, Qi Jinshan, the Commander-in-Chief of the Yanzhou Army, had already set up a banquet to entertain the heroes of this battle.

As for the hero, it is naturally Du Chengfeng who killed all the monsters.

"Come! Hero! Drink this cup full!"

During the banquet, Qi Jinshan raised his glass of wine to Du Chengfeng.

This is the first time Du Chengfeng has seen the commander-in-chief of Yanzhou. His handsome appearance is more like a scribe than a warrior. Fortunately, in addition to his wide robe and long sleeves, he also has Wearing a pair of crotch armor can be regarded as adding some heroic atmosphere to himself. Just looking at the way he stands with his sword, he has a bit of momentum.

It's just that compared to the commander-in-chief of Jizhou, it's still a little worse.

Compared with Liu Yanran from Jibei, Qi Jinshan's aura is more like that of a normal person.

Since they are normal people, they should still be able to communicate.

"Come on! Drink!"

Du Chengfeng was not polite and drank all the wine in the glass down his throat in one breath.

This Qi Jinshan is indeed a good communicator. At least he talks much better than Liu Yanran. After filtering out most of the useless flattery, Du Chengfeng also knows that Xiang Rong, who had previously harmed Ruan Shantao in the mountains, , that old friend of Ruan Shantao has become the national advisor of the grassland people and is leading his troops south.

"The safety of Yanzhou City depends more on heroes."

Qi Jinshan toasted again.

"With heroes here, Yanzhou will be safe and sound!"

Isn't this a little too high of a view of me?

Although he drank, Du Chengfeng did not agree to anything, just because he knew clearly that Xiang Rong was not something he could handle now - he was a master at the same level as Ruan Shantao, and even surpassed Hua in terms of force. Ruan Shantao is a monster, and besides that, the man named Xiang Rong is not lacking in strategy and cruelty. Just like the riots in Yanzhou City, if there is a cooperation between inside and outside, Yanzhou will be lost on the spot.

But Xiang Rong did not come with his troops.

What was the delay? Or did an unexpected situation disrupt the plan? Du Chengfeng didn't know what was going on.

But at least he knew that even if he delayed for a few days, Xiang Rong could still easily defeat Yanzhou.

So, it's time to go.

On the way back with the horse, Du Chengfeng, who smelled of alcohol, was thinking. Although others are drunk now, their minds are much clearer than during the day.

You should evacuate immediately. This is the most rational decision. But it was obvious that his body had its own ideas.

With his thoughts complicated, he did not go back to the house. Instead, he went all the way to the depths of the arsenal and came under the huge word "Benevolence", trying to use the handwriting left by the cheap teacher to help him calm down. one time.

But when Du Chengfeng opened the door deep in the arsenal, he found that someone had already entered.

"Old Liu?"

Smelling the familiar smell of alcohol, Du Chengfeng was stunned.

"When did you come?"

"I...don't remember."

The drunk Liu Bolun turned around, still holding a jar of wine in his arms.

"Eh? Did you drink too? Come on, drink more, and just drink with me."

"……good."

Although he had drunk a lot, Du Chengfeng still nodded.

After all, he has also noticed that Liu Bolun's mood seems to be a little wrong at the moment.

"I haven't told you before, but I don't actually come from an academy."

After drinking a few sips of wine, Liu Bolun lay on the ground and talked about his past.

"I was originally an Imperial College student in Jiankang City, and I got the official position only after being recommended by the old man... Originally I thought I could make up for the vacancies in a good place, and work more leisurely, so that I could make more wine in my free time. Liquor, get something good to drink. Who would have known that the old man sent me directly to Yanzhou, a place that has seen ghosts, only one Jibei away from the prairie people..."

Then, Liu Bolun started to curse, calling Ruan Shantao "old immortal" and "old lamp". Judging from his posture, he was going to criticize Ruan Shantao to pieces.

But soon, Liu Bolun shook his head.

"Of course, it's useless to say these now. After all, the old man himself has been squeezed out. He has come to Yanzhou himself. What else can I say?"

At this point, Liu Bolun's voice paused.

"Brother Du, I want to tell you something. I am wrong."

"Huh?"

Du Chengfeng frowned.

"What's the matter?"

"Some rotten weapons in the warehouse were actually rotten by wine."

After gritting his teeth, Liu Bolun still spoke.

"When I first came to Yanzhou, I wanted to use some convenient methods to be lazy, so I took out the method of brewing wine... But using wine to dispel evil spirits was my first time, and some problems occurred in the middle, so..."

"And then the old man took the blame for you?"

Du Chengfeng couldn't help but look at Liu Bolun.

He didn't expect that the problem of the armory that he had been looking around for several times before was actually caused by this drunkard.

"It should be said that the old man has been taking the blame for me."

Liu Bolun sighed.

"I only found out later that the old man had already made arrangements in the armory. If it weren't for the old man's words and sword pressed in the armory, I would have had a big problem when I messed around before...So I didn't say it so openly. I was sealed with gold and hung the seal not just because I was competing with the governor, but mainly because I did commit a crime."

At this point, Liu Bolun was stunned.

"But the old man still let me go into the mountain."

Liu Bolun looked down at the wine jar in his arms.

Ruan Shantao still let him into the mountain. Even though he would charge him some money, it was nothing for Liu Bolun, who could afford to make private wine. Moreover, being appointed as an official and having his seal removed would not be without consequences. If it were not for Ruan Shantao's protection, he would have been dragged to the court for execution.

The wine in the jar seemed to have become more.

"So..."

Liu Bolun looked up and looked at the word "Ren" on the wall.

"This old man is so powerful, how could he really die?"

Shaking his head, Liu Bolun simply picked up the jar and drank it, even putting his whole head into the jar.

This forced Du Chengfeng to spend some time to pull Liu Bolun's head out of the jar, otherwise he might suffocate to death in it.

However, when Du Chengfeng was about to leave the arsenal and hand over this place to Liu Bolun to shut himself up, Liu Bolun, who had sobered up a little, called him.

"Wait a minute, brother Du."

Gestured to himself, then gestured to the top of Du Chengfeng's head, Liu Bolun was a little confused.

"Have you grown taller?"

The second update is here, everyone go to bed early.
