Chapter 30: The Anti-Thief Meets the Bandit

After Chen Lin was drugged and placed under house arrest by Zhang Fan, he did not resist, he should eat, drink, and occasionally talk to Zhang Fan, but as soon as Zhang Fan said something about persuading Chen Lin to join the Taiping Sect, Chen Lin was silent. After a few times, Zhang Fan was also helpless, so he didn't mention the matter, but just discussed something else with Chen Lin.

Just after Yecheng, Jizhou, this day, since Chen Lin was under house arrest, Zhang Fan and Chen Lin sat in the carriage, and the two talked a little bit. Suddenly, the carriage stopped, and when they heard it, the two of them almost rolled forward. Zhang Fan was about to beat and scold, when the two heard shouting and making a fuss outside, the sound of weapons colliding with each other, and the sound of personnel shouting, in short, there was a lot of commotion.

When Chen Lin heard this, he said happily in his heart, eighty percent of them were thieves who blocked the way, remembering that he had been robbed by Zhou Cang before, and couldn't help but think that he was so remembered by thieves, but Zhou Cang seemed to have said that he was going to defect to the Taiping Sect, but fortunately he was met. Chen Lin said to Zhang Fan happily: "Hahaha, the kidnapper met the bandit, haha." Zhang Fan was so angry that he pulled out his knife and jumped out, but he wanted to see where the thief was, he was so bold. Chen Lin hurriedly followed out, Zhang Fan wanted to stop him, Chen Lin rolled his eyes and said: "A certain is weak, are you still worried that a certain has run away?" Zhang Fan blushed when he was said.

Chen Lin got out of the car, and saw that the surrounding area was a dense forest path, overgrown with bushes, and at this time there were densely scattered young people with knives and swords around, about 100 people, no wonder they dared to stop Zhang Fan's group of more than a dozen horseback riding teams, there were many people and few bullies. Zhang Fan's men and horses nervously surrounded the carriage, and when they saw Zhang Fan coming out, they said: "Handsome, I'm afraid that there are hundreds of people, and the idea is prickly." Chen Lin only then knew Zhang Fan's call in the Taiping Sect, handsome, and the idea was piercing, Chen Lin thought to himself, full of black-faced words, it seems that this Taiping Sect gang also often does these tricks, kidnapping, cheating, stealing, looting, and plundering.

Chen Lin was not afraid of harming his own life, but looked at it with some schadenfreude, thinking that it was best to lose both. Zhang Fan calmed down at this time, and saw that the group of roadblockers did not rush up to kill, but just surrounded them, so he had a plan in his heart. Zhang Fan stood up a few steps, arched his hand and shouted loudly: "A certain is the Nanyang Qu Shuai of the Taiping Sect, Zhang Fan and Zhang Mancheng, I don't know which hero is here?" ”

The opposite side also swaggered out of a person, with a cloak and a sloppy hair, Chen Lin only felt that this person gave him an extremely uncomfortable feeling all over his body. The man shouted: "Regardless of your bird teaching, a certain Deng Mao is also, your guy and that horse are enough to eat a certain meal of meat, stay, and the hard goods on the body, stay, people get out." After speaking, he muttered some incomplete words: "...... Female ...... Not happy......"

The thieves around also shouted, "Get out." Chen Lin was even happier, this person was really cute, and he was ignorant, the horses of Zhang Fan and others, but the war horses, plus the more than 20 horses that Chen Lin and the others originally rode, were led by Zhang Fan's people. That's all good war horses, this thing actually wants to eat horses, either stupid or hungry.

As soon as Deng Mao said this, Chen Lin was amused, and when Zhang Fan heard it, his lungs exploded, and he beckoned five companions to rush over with horses, and he was very bold, six people dared to kill a hundred people, even if it was a cavalry, he was bold, Chen Lin thought to himself. There were still about ten people left to surround Chen Lin, waiting for the thieves to come.

It is estimated that he was stunned, and when he saw Zhang Fan's six people, he dared to rush over, and the gang of thieves did not come to attack the carriage, but they had to go to surround Zhang Fan. Chen Lin looked quietly, Zhang Fan's martial arts skills were not bad, he was rushing left and right on the horse, his hand was sharp and neat, how could the thief catch up with the horse, and in the blink of an eye, a few people were cut down, and he could only stare at the horse's buttocks and run around. Seeing that he was about to flee in all directions, Deng Mao was anxious and immediately shouted, which brought everyone together, and Zhang Fan did not dare to rush towards the crowd, and also hit the horse to look at each other.

When Deng Mao saw the power of the cavalry for the first time, he was shocked, and the hundreds of people who had finally gathered in the past six months were almost scared away. Deng Mao knew that he couldn't lose his morale, so he shouted from afar with a knife: "Riding on a horse is a hero, and you have the ability to get off the horse and fight with someone." Chen Lin thought to himself, I'm afraid you won't be able to beat Zhang Fan, Chen Lin thought that Zhang Fan was going to fight, but he didn't want to hear Zhang Fan say: "Hehehe, riding a horse is not a hero?" You are still carrying a knife and waving your hands, but if the two of us dismount and abandon the knife and tie our hands, and only bite with our teeth, we will be considered heroes. After speaking, Zhang Fan and the others laughed.

Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, this Zhang Fan said this, but he was a scoundrel and seemed reasonable. You won't let anyone else ride without a horse? If a short man meets a tall man, do you have to be tall and short to fight the short man again, so that it seems fair and heroic? Chen Lin glanced at Zhang Fan, this person is not simple, although he is not ashamed of being a gentleman, he always works. Chen Lin thought of his current situation and smiled helplessly, although Zhang Fan is not a wicked person, he can't treat each other as gentlemen.

Deng Mao on the other side scolded, Zhang Fan saw that Deng Mao was furious, and said: "It's okay to get off the horse and fight with your gang, but what if you still win?" After speaking, he looked at Deng Mao with a provocative face. Deng Mao was angry in his head, and when he heard Zhang Fan say this, he shouted without thinking about it: "If you lose, I will lead the horse and whip for you." As soon as Deng Mao finished speaking, Chen Lin remembered the bet with the head of the barbarian rate in Yizhou, and he thought a little more highly of Zhang Fan in his heart. This Zhang Fan is clearly deliberately provoking Deng Mao, designed by Deng Mao, Zhang Fan has a strategy.

As Chen Lin expected, how could Deng Mao be Zhang Fan's opponent, in less than thirty rounds, Deng Mao was defeated, sitting on the ground dejectedly, blushing, thinking that he remembered what he said in front of everyone just now, embarrassed and didn't know what to do. Zhang Fan also sat next to Deng Mao: "Deng Yingying is so good, this arm still hurts faintly." Deng Yingying is the leader of these 100 people, why don't you join my Taiping Sect and manage everyone to eat. ”

Chen Lin was in a hurry, he couldn't let Deng Mao enter the Taiping Sect, so he hurriedly spoke: "The Taiping Sect is going to rebel, Deng Yingying is going to go to the Tao." The Taiping Sect next to him hurriedly covered Chen Lin, Chen Lin was weak and could only be at his mercy. Zhang Fan also looked at Deng Mao with an anxious face, and then at Chen Lin. Neither of them could have imagined that Deng Mao would jump up and shout even more excitedly: "Rebellion, but kill the official?" ”

Chen Lin looked at it, it was over, why did Deng Mao hate the Han family so much. Zhang Fan was overjoyed when he saw this, turned his head and looked at Chen Lin with a smug face, and hurriedly said to Deng Mao: "It's extreme, kill corrupt officials." I also want to persuade Chen Lin by the way: "Bozhi, today's events are what you have seen with your own eyes, why are you obsessed, it is not possible for Bozhi to be the corrupt official who slanders the people." ”

Chen Lin was sad in his heart, but he really couldn't accept such a lawless behavior: "Even if there are a few corrupt officials in the Great Han, the Great Han is a Great Han after all, and it is simply a crime to exterminate the Nine Clans if you wait like this." ”

The ending is very unwilling to see by Chen Lin, Deng Mao was left grass by the Han officials* who had no way to live, he had no good impression of the Han family, and he was a poor family, and he was not limited by the Confucian idea of loyalty to the monarch, in his eyes, he only had to give him food to eat and the people to eat, he was a good person, and the Taiping Sect was a good person, it was as simple as that. Chen Lin thought of Zhou Cang again, as well as Deng Mao in front of him, and Zhang San and Li Si who didn't know where, I don't know how many people, as long as they have something to eat, they are good people. And the person who lost a mouthful of food did not know how much he had, and embarked on the road of becoming an enemy of the Han Dynasty, just a mouthful of rice, Chen Lin felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart.

Because of Deng Mao's matter, Zhang Fan couldn't take hundreds of people on the road, so he had to stop at the small cottage where Deng Mao lived on weekdays. Chen Lin was still treated with good food and drink, arranged in a small room, and he could come and go at will, but there were two people with him wherever he went. Chen Lin didn't know what Zhang Fan and Deng Mao were doing, as soon as Chen Lin appeared, the two stopped talking and turned to some interesting things about the rivers and lakes. Chen Lin has never been in a hurry about things, if there is no way to solve it, it is better to stay calm and honest.

Chen Lin wandered around the village and met a child less than fifteen years old, Chen Lin never thought that he would become a thief at such a young age. Hurriedly asked: "Going up the mountain to be a bandit at a young age, aren't you afraid of being killed by the officials and soldiers?" But the child was extremely resentful and said, "Kill so-and-so? So-and-so wants to kill him. ”

"Killing officials is a rebellion, aren't you afraid, that's the sin of the Nine Clans."

"What, what are the nine clans, a certain family has been killed, a certain family just wants to live, who cares if you are even Lao Tzu of the nine clans." After this kid finished speaking, he won the applause of everyone next to him, Chen Lin looked at the young man who was talking to a group of big men, not ambiguous at all, and showed a hint of innocent smile. Chen Lin felt uncomfortable in his heart, what a simple face, but this would be a thief or a bandit. What is right and what is wrong, Chen Lin didn't understand, but his heart was full of pain, and he read what the old master said in his heart sentence by sentence.

Chen Lin often listened to Grandpa talk about many ideas that were different from Confucianism, so compared with other scholars and disciples, Chen Lin was more open-minded and not decadent. It's just that he suddenly saw many people who were not even afraid of rebellion, but he still knew the stories of these people, which made it difficult for Chen Linyi to accept. Then Chen Lin remembered what Grandpa said the most: Everything is for the Chen family.

Chen Lin remembered Grandpa's words, and realized that it was no wonder that Grandpa had expected that there would be chaos in the Han Dynasty, and he thought that Grandpa was the one who understood best, but he couldn't do anything, so he kept saying that everything was for the Chen family. Thinking about it, Chen Lin felt much happier in his heart, and he didn't care about their identities in the cottage, he also had meat to eat meat and drink wine with them.

It has been five or six days, Zhang Fan said to continue on the road, but Deng Mao and the others did not follow anyone, and it was still Zhang Fan's original group on the road. Chen Lin didn't have much hatred for Zhang Fan, but admired Zhang Fan for being brave and resourceful, and eclectic. Therefore, Chen Lin and Zhang Fan also talked and laughed, and they didn't mind Zhang Fan's drugging of themselves at all, and the two were completely different from the relationship between a group of kidnappers and the kidnapped. It's just that Chen Lin doesn't understand why he is still like this after he was drugged, almost half a month ago, and the effect of this medicine is also overbearing.
