Chapter 27 Falling grass is not necessarily a pirate
"That's it!" Yang Zhi heard Lin Chong's explanation and nodded with a wry smile.
To be honest, when Lin Chong came out from the opposite side with a murderous look, it didn't look like he was in a martial arts competition.
But Yang Zhi's skills are not as good as others, so what can he say?
"Brother Yang, are you here to return to Tokyo?"
"Exactly!" Yang Zhi did not conceal the purpose of his trip: "Because I was trapped in Huashi Gang, I had no choice but to go into exile. Now that there is an amnesty, I want to return to Tokyo and resume my job."
"Forgive Lin's blunt statement, after Brother Yang became Lord Yang, are you really willing to serve as an envoy of a small palace commander's palace for the rest of your life?"
Lin Chong's words were tantamount to instantly poking a painful point deep in Yang Zhi's heart.
I think the Yang family was considered a famous family in Tokyo back then.
Grandfather Yang Ye, Yang Laolinggong, was worshiped as General Wei, the right commander of the army, and concurrently served as the governor of Zhengzhou and the observation envoy of Yunzhou.
Unexpectedly, in just three generations, the Yang family has fallen to where it is today.
If the Yang family hadn't been ruined, how could Yang Zhi have been in exile for so many years because of the loss of a mere Hua Shi Gang?
"I don't want to recreate my grandfather's situation back then, but it's a pity..."
Before Yang Zhi could finish speaking, Lin Chong had already interrupted: "It's a pity that the current imperial court is corrupt and treacherous ministers are in power. They plunder everything internally and prey on the common people. They are timid and weak externally. Every year, our generals have no use for them."
.”
A close friend!!!
Lin Chong actually saw things so clearly.
Why didn't Yang Zhi feel that the imperial court was weak and treacherous ministers were in power?
But so what?
He is a small official in the imperial palace, and he speaks lightly and cannot change anything at all.
"Although I, Yang Zhi, have been in exile these years, I have heard a little bit about what happened to Coach Lin in Tokyo City. That Gao Yamen did all kinds of evil. Killing Coach Lin is like removing a cancer for Tokyo City.
Coach Lin’s ability has ended up in this situation because of this dude, and there is no place for heroes to use it. It’s really... ugh!!!"
Yang Zhi admired Lin Chong's actions in Tokyo very much.
However, I admire, I admire, Lin Chong, a man with outstanding martial arts and indomitable spirit, ended up in such a predicament because of a yamen, which somewhat made Yang Zhi feel a little unhappy.
Apart from being unhappy, there is also a sense of confusion about the future.
Although the amnesty was granted and Yang Zhi was able to return to Tokyo, Yang Zhi had no idea whether he could be reinstated.
After all, in today’s officialdom...it’s okay not to talk about it!
"Hey, now that things have come to a point, we can only take one step and look at it. If we can't take the normal route, we will have to spend some money."
Lin Chong was very clear about Yang Zhi's thoughts.
After all, he is a descendant of the Yang family and wants to pursue an official career.
I want to restore the Yang family's past glory.
However, in such a cannibalistic world, Yang Zhi's wish is destined to fail to come true.
In the original work, Yang Zhi returned to Tokyo with high expectations, but he was made trouble by villains and became impoverished. He had to take out the family heirloom sword and sell it. Unexpectedly, he met a bad guy, killed someone in anger, and was tattooed and sent to Daming Mansion.
.
He was appreciated by Liang Zhongshu and promoted to the envoy in charge of the army, escorting the birthday program. However, he was kidnapped again and had no choice but to go to Liangshan. He finally died of illness on the way to conquer Fang La.
Kong has a lot of ability and great ambition,
But there is no way to repay,
I have to say that Yang Zhi has quite a lot of similarities with Lin Chong in the original work.
From a certain perspective, he is also an extremely tragic character.
"I wonder what Coach Lin has planned for the future?"
"I have sailed to Liangshan!" Faced with Yang Zhi's inquiry, Lin Chong did not shy away.
"Liangshan? It's a... nice place to go." Yang Zhi looked comforted, but felt more and more regretful in his heart.
Although there is now an amnesty, Lin Chong's situation is different from Yang Zhi's.
Anyone who has lived in Tokyo knows that Gao Yanei is Gao Qiu's favorite?
Lin Chong killed Gao Yanei and was destined to miss officialdom in his life.
Not only that, but he also has to face the constant pursuit by Gao Qiu's gang members.
Roaring in the mountains and forests, turning grass into bandits, was indeed a better choice for Lin Chong.
"Actually, falling grass is not necessarily a bandit!"
"Oh? What did Coach Lin say?"
Lin Chong looked at the opposite Yang Zhidao with doubts on his face: "I think back then, Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, gathered in the mountains and forests by mistake because he missed the time to do corvee work. Didn't he achieve great achievements in the end?"
As soon as Lin Chong said these words, Yang Zhi was immediately startled.
How could he have imagined that Lin Chong, who was in trouble now, would still have such ambitions!
Based on what Coach Lin just said, he is preparing to overthrow the imperial court.
Lin Chong seemed to see the consternation in Yang Zhi's heart, and continued with a slight smile: "Brother Yang, who once served in Tokyo, should be aware that the traitorous officials in the imperial court are now in power, and they have already become Gao Qiu's voice.
Even if you become an official in the court, what will happen?
If nothing else, let’s take the Forbidden Army as an example.
Gao Qiu relied on favors for personal gain, invaded military camps, used private land, occupied many forbidden troops, and used force to serve, which resulted in the weakening of discipline in the forbidden troops, lack of military and political maintenance, and low combat effectiveness.
At this time, if the Jin soldiers invade, how long can the court hold on?
Furthermore, Gao Qiu had many faction members, and it could no longer be reversed by just one or two upright and strict court officials.
If we want to restore the order of the world and restore a prosperous world, we must fundamentally overthrow this decadent court."
When Lin Chong said this, his eyes fell on Yang Zhi again: "In the past, Mrs. Yang also relied on his military exploits to achieve his later status.
But Brother Yang, to be fair, do you think that with the imperial court so weak and traitorous ministers in power, do you still have a chance to earn military merit?"
Lin Chong's words made Yang Zhi frown a little bit.
As Lin Chong said just now, today's Song Dynasty court has treacherous ministers who are in power, emphasize civility and suppress military force, are tough internally, and weak externally. For him, a martial arts scholar, to get ahead is nothing more than a fool's dream.
"In that case, Brother Yang, why not give it a try?"
"Give it a try! Does Coach Lin want to get me to join the gang?"
Yang Zhi was not a stupid person. Lin Chong had already said this, so how could he still not understand?
Now that I think about it, as Lin Chong did before, he probably had already planned this.
Otherwise, how could the two of them meet here by such a coincidence!
"Coach Lin, I have to say that what you just said is all in Yang's heart. What man comes into this world and doesn't want to make a big splash and do something great?
However, with an official position, there is still a glimmer of hope.
I... still want to pursue an official career!"
Lin Chong was not surprised by Yang Zhi's answer. After all, three generations of the Yang family had been officials. In just a few words, he wanted to drag Yang Zhi to Liangshan and become a bandit?
Lin Chong is not so naive!
"Since it is Brother Yang's choice, Lin naturally respects it, but..."
"Huh~" Lin Chong's side, before he could finish his words, a sharp arrow instantly hit him between the eyebrows.
"Be careful!!!" Yang Zhi raised his knife and blocked Lin Chong's sharp arrows. Then, he saw dense figures in the surrounding woods surrounding them.
"Ding! Because Wang Lun deliberately leaked the host's whereabouts, at this moment, he is surrounded by Gao Qiu's retainers and green forest heroes. If you kill the invading enemies, you can get system rewards."
Wang Lun?
It seems that this guy doesn’t want to live a good life!
A cold light flashed across Lin Chong's eyes, and the eight-foot-long snake spear in his hand rolled instantly.
