Fangzhengzhijian rejected Qi Jinshan.
This is a result that Du Chengfeng did not expect at all. You must know that although this Founder's Sword is Ruan Shantao's weapon, he has touched it before, but nothing happened - and now, after Qi Jinshan was ejected, Liu Bolun However, he nervously went up to check the sword, but it was not bounced between his hands.
Unlike most evil weapons, this square sword has never killed anyone. There is no evil aura on it, so it can be touched by anyone.
But why can't Qi Jinshan be touched?
"You! What did you just do!"
Qi Jinshan got up from the ground with eyes wide open.
"You actually dare to plot to kill this governor! Have you already surrendered to that prairie barbarian?"
"Don't talk nonsense, we really didn't do anything just now."
Du Chengfeng spread his hands. He and Liu Bolun had not stopped Qi Jinshan's sudden advance just now, but now it was completely unreasonable to put the pot on their heads.
But it was empty talk. Even if the two of them said they didn't do it, no one would believe it. So after thinking about it, Du Chengfeng simply took off the sheathed strange sword on the wall and threw it directly to Qi Jinshan.
"Captain, won't you know if you try it?"
Bang!
Just when his hand touched the hilt of the sword, Qi Jinshan flew out again.
This time, Qi Jinshan couldn't blame the two of them. After all, there was a distance of six or seven feet between the two parties and they couldn't touch each other. How could they do anything?
"That's fine."
Standing up again, Qi Jinshan did not dare to touch the square sword. He just pointed at the strange sword on the ground and looked up at Du Chengfeng and Liu Bolun.
"Since there is something weird about this sword, you two should sharpen the sword for me."
"……Um?"
Du Chengfeng and Liu Bolun couldn't help but be stunned.
They did not expect that Qi Jinshan would not give up when faced with the facts before them.
It has been confirmed that this sword cannot be picked up. Why does Qi Jinshan still have to use this sword?
Taking a step back, it is true that Qi Jinshan cannot pick up this sword, but Liu Bolun on the side can pick it up. Although it is hard to say whether this drunkard is reliable, but after having this sword, it is true that rounding up is It can be considered a combat force.
Why does it have to be Qi Jinshan himself?
"Because guarding the territory is the responsibility of the commander-in-chief."
Saying this, Qi Jinshan cupped his hands in the direction of the southern capital.
"Mr. Liu has sealed the gold seal and retired to the countryside, so there is no need for these, but I still have a mission on my shoulders... If I can't carry the three-foot sword to defend the territory, I will be unworthy of the imperial court's cultivation! "
"..."
Hearing this, Du Chengfeng subconsciously glanced at the Founder's Sword on the ground.
Perhaps because the blade is too thick, this sword is not three feet long, only a little over two feet.
Liu Bolun, on the other hand, frowned more and more.
"It is the duty to protect the land and cultivate it for the imperial court. How many times have you used this excuse? Last time, in order to get rid of these things in your mouth, you had to send soldiers from Yanzhou to Jizhou to die. This time, in order to get these things in your mouth, you You want the entire Yanzhou people to be buried with you... No wonder you want this sword so much, it turns out you want to use it to save your life?"
"Mr. Liu! Stop talking nonsense!"
Qi Jinshan's face also darkened.
"There are no eggs left after the nest is overturned! Now the grassland people are attacking in large numbers. If we don't fight to the death, will we give up Yanzhou City to our hands!"
"There's still time! Why don't you withdraw!"
Liu Bolun's eyes widened angrily.
"Why don't you withdraw! Why don't you leave a way for the people in the city to survive! Do you dare to tell the truth! Do you dare to say why you can't pick up this sword?"
"Forget it, a person like you who runs away from battle will naturally not understand the righteousness."
After shaking his head, Qi Jinshan ignored Liu Bolun and turned his attention to Du Chengfeng.
"This hero, during the time we have been together, I have also noticed that you are the one who will not be timid... I promise you that after this matter in Yanzhou is over, I will ask the imperial court to report it to you. Show merit."
Having said this, Qi Jinshan cupped his hands in the direction of the southern capital.
"So, hero, come on and help me sharpen my sword."
"Actually, I have sharpened this sword before...but now I am more curious about a question."
Du Chengfeng raised his head and scratched his head.
"Why on earth didn't you withdraw? I really want to know that."
"You and I are officials in the same dynasty, do we still need to say this clearly?"
Qi Jinshan was stunned for a moment, but seeing that Du Chengfeng still looked confused, he continued to answer.
"If you and I lead our troops to fight to the death in Yanzhou, we may still get a reward, but if we abandon the city and flee for the sake of the so-called people, we will not be able to keep the seals and ribbons around our waists when we get to the south... So no matter what, This battle must be fought, at least to let the court see that my sons from Yanzhou have tried their best."
At this point, Qi Jinshan's words paused.
"Of course, I also know that when you came out of Jibei, hero, you brought some fellow villagers from Jibei with you. I am not a ruthless person. Naturally, I can't bear to see these Jibei children go through another war... Let's do this. You sharpen my sword and help me defend the city. I will also ask the soldiers to send some food and escort your fellow villagers all the way to the south. You and I each get what we need. What do you think? "
"I……"
Du Chengfeng raised his eyes and looked at Qi Jinshan.
Eyes facing each other.
As their eyes crossed, he already understood what Qi Jinshan meant.
This is both a help and a threat. Obviously, in Qi Jinshan's eyes, these people from Yangjiapu who he brought out can be used as bargaining chips to manipulate him - if he chooses to agree, he will be sent food. If he does not agree, then go I'm afraid it's the unsheathed sword.
At the same time, he also understood why Qi Jinshan had never thought of retreating until now.
"You once studied with Mr. Ruan. You are considered his disciple and you respect the magic weapon he left behind. I understand that."
Seeing that Du Chengfeng was still standing there, Qi Jinshan continued to persuade.
"But what I want to do now is what Ruan Shantao can't do. I want to turn the tide in Yanzhou and give this prairie barbarian a head-on blow... Come on, help me, even if it's for the sake of righteousness."
"Is there anything Ruan Shantao can't do...?"
Du Chengfeng was suddenly startled.
Immediately afterwards, he leaned down and picked up the square sword.
The sword was unsheathed, and he silently felt the sword's will.
Inspiration broke through the fog and exploded in his mind.
