Acting for the gods

Chapter 158 The Last Action

Linghu Chong is free and unrestrained, free and unrestrained, likes fine wine, and dislikes being restrained by others.

But what Jiang Fan was talking about was the righteousness of the country. If he didn't express it, wouldn't it appear that he was selfish, disloyal and unrighteous?
I just want to retire from the rivers and lakes and live my own life!

Linghu Chong was caught in a tangle, and he still admired Jiang Fan who expelled Jiannu and made Daming stable.

But he really didn't want to live a life of fighting and killing, and he didn't want to be involved in the intrigues of the officialdom. After thinking for a moment, Linghu Chong said: "My lord, we just want to quit the arena, turn swords into hoes, and live an ordinary life. Don’t dare to participate in major events.”

Qinglong on the side snorted coldly when he heard the words. Originally, he had a good impression of Linghu Chong, but when he heard these words, his favorability dropped instantly, and he said coldly: "Why come home without a country? The only thing is to escape, you only know how to protect yourself, so who will resist the invasion of foreign races? You are a real man, and you are not worthy of practicing martial arts and swords."

"Blue Dragon."

Jiang Fan called Qinglong to stop, looked at Linghu Chong and the others and said, "People have their own ambitions, so there is no need to force them. They are not soldiers. As long as they don't break the law, they have the right to choose freely."

What Jiang Fan said just now was really to invite Linghu Chong and others to join the Jinyiwei, so that it would be relatively easier to fight against the Japanese pirates.

Apart from Linghu Chong, the disciples of the Huashan School are also good at martial arts, at least on par with the former Ye Zhanqing, they are quite powerful in combat.

But the other party is unwilling, Jiang Fan will not force others to make things difficult.

With or without Linghu Chong, the Japanese pirates would all be suppressed.

Whether it is for the country and the people, or to complete the task, Jiang Fan will deal with the Japanese pirates.

"Thank you for your understanding."

Linghu Chong said with some guilt.

He himself is still quite chivalrous, but he was heartbroken by his master Yue Buqun, and he was a little disheartened, so he thought about taking his juniors and retreating into the world.

Jiang Fan nodded, ignored Linghu Chong, and said to Qinglong: "Bury the corpses of those Miao people, rest here for a while, and then continue to set off."

"Yes."

Qinglong took the order and took people to dig a pit to bury the corpse.

Baihu led two teams to patrol around the wild store to prevent sneak attacks.

There are also some people who use local materials and light a fire to cook.

Jiang Fan checked the injuries of the previous wounded.

Fortunately, the shurikens of those ninjas were not poisoned. After simple treatment and alcohol disinfection, there was no sign of infection.

In fact, there is no medical alcohol in this era, but experienced Jianghu people will use spirits to disinfect and prevent wound infection.

The alcohol was distilled and refined by Jiang Fan when he was in Liaodong, and it was officially used in the army. The effect was remarkable and it was widely acclaimed.

Seeing that Jiang Fan and the others were not in trouble, Linghu Chong didn't want to have anything to do with the people in the court, so he immediately led his brothers out of the wild store.

Ah Fa and the others were thinking about what Jiang Fan said.

"Brother, can we really retreat into the world?"

Linghu Chong, the oldest disciple of the Huashan School, was only in his 20s, young and energetic, and said that they were going to retire together, but they didn't know how to do so?

Could it be that going to Niubei Mountain counts as quitting the rivers and lakes?
Of course not.

Man is a social creature and a contradictory creature.

Just a few of them, even if they really find a place isolated from the world, after staying for a while, they will feel empty and unable to bear the loneliness.

And as long as there is contact with people from the outside world, there will be some grievances and grievances more or less.

If you can't swallow your anger, you can only draw your sword and face each other, repeating the same mistakes.

People in the arena involuntarily!
It is not personal wishful thinking that can be avoided or changed.

"I don't know either. Let's take a step and see. It's useless to think so much." Linghu Chong said casually.

Then he saw the whip left by Ren Yingying on a tree.

They agreed to meet at Yedian a year ago, but when they arrived at the agreed place this morning, they only found some Miao corpses there.

Something may have happened to Ren Yingying.

Regarding Ren Yingying, Linghu Chong was quite concerned, and planned to inquire about Ren Yingying's situation first, otherwise he would feel uneasy.

Ah Fa saw Linghu Chong's worry, and said, "Senior brother, that Jin Yiwei said just now that the Japanese ninjas attacked the Miao people. I know there is a ronin camp nearby, maybe there are clues there."

"Then let's rush over there as soon as possible. These Jinyiwei will deal with the Japanese pirates, and they are likely to launch an attack on the Ronin camp. It will be troublesome when they fight!"

Hearing this, Linghu Chong regained his spirits.

Yue Lingshan said: "Brother, who are those Jin Yiwei just now? They look different from other officials."

Linghu Chong said, "If I'm not mistaken, he should be the legendary Jiang Fan."

"Jiang Fan is the Great Ming God of War who Pingliao in January!" Yue Lingshan exclaimed.

Big Tooth also showed admiration: "Wow, that's my idol, I didn't expect to see it alive!"

"It's no wonder he is so majestic and can distinguish right from wrong. He really lives up to his reputation."

Seeing the juniors turned into Jiang Fan's little fans one by one, Linghu Chong felt a little jealous in his heart.

But Jiang Fan's actions are indeed the light of Da Ming's righteous way, and Linghu Chong also sincerely admires them.

Especially the sentence that Jiang Fan said during his battle in Liaodong: "Loyal bones are buried everywhere in the green hills, so why return them wrapped in horse leather."

It was regarded as a model by countless soldiers and was later widely circulated.

It can be said that although Jiang Fan is not a member of the rivers and lakes, his legends are everywhere in the rivers and lakes.

Now is not the time for worship, Linghu Chong is more worried about Ren Yingying's safety.

The few people walked forward for a while, the sky was bright and the sun was bright, suddenly there was a strong wind and thunder, heavy rain struck, and many birds and beasts wailed and fell to the ground.

"What a ghostly weather. It's obviously a big sun, but it's thundering and raining."

Linghu Chong underestimated himself, and took his brothers and sisters to hide under the tree to avoid the rain.

The wind and rain come and go quickly.

The few people walked for a while, and Da Baoya found that there were many pheasants and pigeons on the ground in front of him.

Linghu Chong said: "There are so many wild game, let's try burning some."

Ah Fa laughed and said, "Yes, don't waste it!"

Yue Lingshan was a little worried: "Could these birds be poisoned, or infected with the plague?"

Linghu Chong said with a smile: "Don't worry, these birds should have been washed down by the heavy rain just now, and set fire to each other."

A few people quickly started a fire to roast game and dry their wet clothes at the same time.

"We went to the ronin to rescue people, so we have to use force again?"

"That can't be helped. When someone beats us, we run. If we can't run, we must defend ourselves."

"Isn't this about to use force, so should we withdraw from the arena?"

"To save people, of course you have to use force."

"Everyone is a brother of the same sect, so naturally we have to advance and retreat together..."

Hearing the conversation of the brothers, Linghu Chong said: "Stop, stop, it's fine for everyone to go together, but you have to swear that this is the last place you go out, otherwise you will be pulled down."

"Okay, let's swear to the bonfire, the last action, if you break the oath, you will get sores on your butt, hahaha!!!"
