Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 49 The Loyal Servant
...

It was getting dark, even if Li Yan wanted to try the magic arm crossbow, he couldn't do it.

Moreover, Liu Huiniang, who is pregnant, also needs to rest.

Therefore, Li Yan quickly put down the crossbow and said, "Lady, let's rest."

After speaking, Li Yan hugged Liu Huiniang and walked towards the bed.

Just as Liu Huiniang helped Li Yan take off his coat, there was a sudden "咻" sound from outside!

Li Yan was startled first!
But soon Li Yan realized that this was Zhu Gui's arrow to recruit the boat, and he was overjoyed!
Seeing Li Yan's happy face, Liu Huiniang was puzzled and asked, "Why are you happy?"

Li Yan hugged Liu Huiniang, then kissed Liu Huiniang's delicate and lovely face, and said, "My future is here!"

Zhu Gui is a very measured person, if it weren't for people like Lin Chong to vote, he would never have fired an arrow to call for a boat at this time!

More importantly, a few days ago Chai Jin sent a letter saying that Lin Chong would come to vote in a few days!
Liu Huiniang said angrily: "Look at your current appearance, you don't look like the master of a village!"

While putting on his clothes, Li Yan said: "People can't be tense all the time, life is so boring. You are the one who wants to be with me for the rest of my life. If you are also tense in front of you, then I won't be stretched for the rest of my life?"

This love story was not romantic, but Liu Huiniang was extremely happy when she heard it!

While helping Li Yan get dressed, Liu Huiniang said, "Don't be shy. If your brothers listen to it, what is your majesty?"

Li Yan didn't care and said: "I don't believe that if you hurt my wife, you will lose your prestige. Even if you really lose it, for the sake of you, Axiu, I am willing."

This is also one of the reasons why Liu Huiniang fell. Li Yan always loves her unscrupulously. Unlike his father and brother, he always treats his wives and concubines indifferently. generally.

Although she was happy, Liu Huiniang changed the subject because of the woman's reserve, "Who is this general of yours, who can cross the lake in the middle of the night to pick you up?"

Li Yan said: "Lin Chong, the gun and stick instructor of the 80 Imperial Army." Then Li Yan looked in the direction of Dongshan Hotel and said leisurely: "A loyal servant with excellent martial arts."

Lin Chong is too controversial.

Some people say that he is a real hero, a real hero, straightforward, strong, straightforward, proud, humble, strong in martial arts, witty and brave, calm, broad-minded, good at thinking, good at observing, daring to love and hate.

Some people also said that he was just a wimp, full of abilities, and didn't dare to resist and take revenge when he saw his wife being molested, and later sold his wife and friends, ungrateful, and a villain.

From Li Yan's point of view, Lin Chong was a villain. After all, it was because Lin Chong was not a villain that he fell into the current situation. If he was a villain through and through, he would definitely not be so miserable.

However, in Li Yan's view, Lin Chong is not a person who values ​​kindness and righteousness.

Those who are indifferent to enemies will be ungrateful.

This is vividly shown in Lin Chong.

There are a total of six or five people in Water Margin who are kind to Lin Chong-Wang Lun has disputes.

Let me talk about the controversial Wang Lun first.

When Lin Chong was wanted and had nowhere to go, it was Wang Lun who took him in. This is an indisputable fact.

But Lin Chong fought Wang Lun, and Wang Lun was also a friend of another person who was very kind to Lin Chong.

Of course, if Wang Lun is jealous of the virtuous and capable, he should be killed.

Okay, let's put Wang Lun aside for now.

Chai Jin.

When Lin Chong was serving his sentence, Chai Jin gave Lin Chong a gift and wrote a letter asking the prison to take care of Lin Chong.

When Lin Chong was desperate, Chai Jin rescued Lin Chong and recommended Lin Chong to Wang Lun.

It can be said that without Chai Jin's help, Lin Chong would have died long ago.

It should be right to say that Chai Jin is Lin Chong's savior, right?
But when Chai Jin was sent to the death row, Lin Chong didn't see him giving Chai Jin more first aid.

Don't forget, Lin Chong once said: "If you don't die in the future, you will be rewarded by dogs and horses."

And Chai Jin was always alone from the uphill to the downhill. Where is the reward of acting like a dog and a horse that Lin Chong said?

For reference again, Yan Qing is to Lu Junyi, and Du Xing is to Li Ying.

Lu Zhishen.

The wild boar forest saved Lin Chong's life and sent him off thousands of miles away.

Lin Chong should not have leaked Lu Zhishen's details no matter whether it was intentional or unintentional. As a result, Lu Zhishen's identity was confirmed, and Lu Zhishen could not return to his temple.

That's fine.

Because Lin Chong might really be unintentional, and also because even if Lin Chong didn't get it right, Gao Qiu might find Lu Zhishen, who had ruined his affairs.

However, it is an indisputable fact that Lu Zhishen saved Lin Chong's life and sent Lin Chong away from thousands of miles away.

However, the two met again in Liangshan later.

How did Lin Chong meet Lu Zhishen?

It is a little exaggerated to say that the two are strangers, but when they meet again, Lu Zhishen no longer calls Lin Chong "brother", but calls Lin Chong "Lin Coach" like everyone else.

In the pine forest back then, Lin Chong once said: "For the grace of protection, immortality should be rewarded generously."

Where is this thick newspaper?
Old farmer.

On a snowy night, Lin Chong couldn't stand the cold, so he asked to warm himself by the fire, and the old farmer took him in.

Lin Chong wanted to compete for wine, but the old farmer and others refused to give it. Lin Chong burned the old farmer's beard and beat the whole house away.

It is not an exaggeration to say that you will repay your kindness with hatred.

Li Xiaoer.

Thinking of Lin Chong's kindness, Li Xiaoer and his wife have been taking care of Lin Chong.

Lu Qian and Fu'an jointly sent Lin Chong to kill Lin Chong, and Li Xiaoer went to eavesdrop, and then told Lin Chong to pay attention to safety.

But how did Lin Chong treat Li Xiaoer?Regardless of the safety of Li Xiaoer and his wife, he bought a knife to show off his power and nearly killed Li Xiaoer and his wife. Later, when Chao Gai went up the mountain, Lin Chong lived well. Do you remember Li Xiaoer who opened a small shop in Cangzhou?Chao Gai also knew to send some gold to Song Jiang who sent a letter to save his life.

Zhu Gui.

When Lin Chong was desperate, it was Zhu Gui who led him to Liangshanbo, and it was Zhu Gui who persuaded the narrow-minded Wang Lun to stay Lin Chong and defended Lin Chong many times.

However, the friendship between Lin Chong and Zhu Gui is still vague, leaving Zhu Gui with no one to rely on.

Finally, let’s talk about Mrs. Lin.

There are not many good women in the Water Margin, but the loyal Lady Lin can be counted as one.

But in the end, Lin Chong divorced his wife, obviously to give Mrs. Lin to Gao Yanei in order to resolve the conflict with Gao Qiu. In the end, Mrs. Lin hanged herself and Teacher Lin died of grief.

Therefore, it may be harsh to say that Lin Chong is unkind and ungrateful, but it is not slandering him to say that he does not value friendship.

Then Lin Chong is useless?

wrong!
Lin Chong is not only useful, but also reusable.

Because Lin Chong still has one trait in his bones—loyalty!

Gao Yanei repeatedly molested his wife. Lin Chong could bear it for his "beloved" boss and the "beloved" court. Xue Ba insulted him in every possible way and even wanted to kill him, but his "love" for his boss and the court remained unchanged, which can be described as loyal.

It is not an exaggeration to say that as long as Gao Taiwei casually casts winks at Lin Chong in front of the Fengxue Mountain Temple, Lin Chong will definitely return to Gao Taiwei's side as a loyal servant without hesitation, and then fulfill his lifelong ambitions!

For Gao Taiwei who repeatedly persecuted him, Lin Chong can still be like this, if Li Yan's momentum rises, and Lin Chong sees the opportunity to display his life ambitions, will Lin Chong also become Li Yan's loyal servant?
Some people may say, Lin Chong, a great hero, how could he become a loyal servant? Li Yan is too wishful thinking, impossible, what a joke!
This loyal servant is not the position Li Yan gave Lin Chong, but the position Lin Chong set for himself—there is a poem to prove it: "Lin Chong is the most honest and loyal man."

Taking a step back, even if Lin Chong cannot become Li Yan's loyal servant, it doesn't matter, Lin Chong will definitely be used by Li Yan, and he will be loyal, because Lin Chong, who is desperate, has no choice.

To be fair, the reason why Lin Chong became like this was because he was forced to do so. If Gao Yanei hadn't taken a fancy to Lin Chong's wife, Lin Chong would have been a good husband, a good friend, and a good subordinate. One day, he might be able to gallop on the battlefield, Relying on his high-strength martial arts to serve the country and make great achievements, it may not be certain that he will become a generation of famous generals.

pity……

Lin Chong never kills randomly. Although he has some petty calculations and selfishness, he has no intention of harming others. As long as such a person is not forced to death, he will not be so bad.

There are not many bad people in Songjiang's waters and Liangshan. Although Lin Chong has always had illusions about the court that disappoints everywhere and the two eternal fools, he can be counted as one.

The most important thing is that Lin Chong has high martial arts skills and is a real first-class general. In the "Water Margin", he played 22 times, [-] wins and [-] draws, and three of the five draws (against Zhu Long, Yang Zhi, and Shan Shiqi respectively) were still obvious. It is possible to win, this dazzling record fully demonstrates Lin Chong's high martial arts, and also shows from the side that Lin Chong is stable and sophisticated.

Moreover, Lin Chong, who used to be the spear and stick instructor of the 80 Imperial Army, is also one of the most urgently needed talents for Li Yan.

Therefore, Li Yan, who was thirsty for talent, immediately sent someone to call up all the leaders, and then took a big boat to Dongshan Hotel to pick up Lin Chong...
