Chapter 31 Chapter Two

When he sat down, Instructor Hong asked, "Why do the high officials treat the troops with such generous gifts?" Chai Jin had already said that he was the instructor of the imperial army, but the instructor Hong insisted that he was supporting the army.This is deliberately provoking and insulting Lin Chong. Not only was it provoking and insulting Lin Chong, but it was also embarrassing for Chai Jin. Insulting the master's guests in front of the master was despising the master. For Lin Chong's face, as well as his own, Chai Jin had no choice but to signal him again, and reminded Lin Chong again that he was the instructor of the Imperial Army.

Chai Jin said: "This one is not special, but the instructor of the 800,000 imperial army, master, how contemptuous!" Hong Jiaotou said: "Just because the senior officials are good at guns and sticks, often exiled soldiers come to lean on the grass and stick to the trees. They all say that I am the gun and stick instructor, and I come to the village to lure some wine, food, money and rice. How can the senior officials be so insane serious?" The villain can often see the morals of the world and people's hearts, and can often tell the warmth and coldness of the world.Coach Hong's words really made sense.Some people come to support scholars for their fame and reputation, and some people must follow them. In the Warring States Period, Meng Changjun had a lot of thieves under his door.Of course, Lin Chong is a real hero, but when Coach Hong said that Lin Chong came to lure some wine, food and money, Lin Chong had some ideas.Because part of what Lin Chong said touched Lin Chong's mind, Lin Chong listened and remained silent.And his refusal to fight back made Chai Jin want to protect him even more.

Chai Jin said: "Ordinary people can't change faces, don't underestimate him." The more Chai Jin wanted to protect Lin Chong, the more Coach Hong wanted to humiliate Lin Chong.Hearing Chai Jin say, "Don't underestimate him," Instructor Hong jumped up and said, "I don't believe him! If he dares to challenge me, I will know that he is the real instructor!" He forgot that it was right for Lin Chong to think of Chai Jin Zhuang as a lure for some wine, food and money, but Lin Chong's identity as the instructor of guns and clubs was also true.How dare he dare to challenge such a master so rashly?

Chai Jin laughed loudly and said, "That's fine, that's fine too. Martial Master Lin, what do you think?" Jin Shengtan commented: "After being extremely annoyed, I laughed out loud." Chai Jin was indeed furious. Lin Chong said: "The villain doesn't dare." It is still a posture of the enemy advancing and retreating, forbearance and humility.This is Lin Chong's character and also Lin Chong's self-cultivation.Objectively speaking, among the Liangshan heroes, Lin Chong is the most cultivated one, the one who knows how to respect people the most, the one who is most willing to understand people, and the one who can understand people best.

Why didn't Lin Chong dare? Lin Chong did not dare, not because he was afraid that he would not be able to beat him, but precisely because he was afraid that he would be able to beat him. Lin Chong didn't dare, because once he started to fight, he would be in a dilemma: first, he couldn't overthrow the opponent.How careful is Lin Chong?He thought that the head coach Hong was Chai Jin's master, and if he overthrew him, Chai Jin would lose face.Second, you can't take the initiative to lose to the opponent.Losing to the opponent, doesn't it just prove that all the insults and contempt of the opponent before him are right?At the same time, the other party's insults to him will intensify.More importantly, he also lost face to Chai Jin.

Coach Hong forced Lin Chong into a dilemma. To make matters worse, Coach Hong also put Chai Jin in a trap: Lin Chong overthrew Coach Hong, that is, overthrew his master, and he lost face. If Lin Chong loses to Coach Hong, Coach Hong will be even more presumptuous, which proves that Coach Hong is right and Chai Jin is wrong, and he loses face even more. However, when Lin Chong was in a dilemma, Coach Hong guessed Lin Chong's mind from another angle. Instructor Hong thought in his heart: "That person must not be able to do it, I'm getting timid first." Therefore, the more you want to provoke Lin Chong to use his stick.This is a typical example of judging a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart.

And Chai Jin, who was put into a cover by the head of Hong, could no longer maintain his neutrality. Because, if Chai Jin is neutral, Lin Chong will be ugly whether he wins or loses. If he wants to get out of the cover, he must untie one end, that is to say, he must give up one end between Lin Chong and Coach Hong. This was forced by Teacher Hong. The purpose of Coach Hong is of course to make Chai Jin give up Lin Chong. However, Chai Jin made the opposite choice. After drinking five or seven glasses of wine, the moon came up, and the hall was like daylight.Just these few sentences, how poetic?Under the moonlight, in the courtyard of a mountain village, a group of people were drinking and competing in martial arts.It's fascinating.

However, the three protagonists present here are not poetic: each of them has a bellyful of anger and a bellyful of abacus. Chai Jin stood up suddenly and said, "Two coaches, let's compete." Chai Jin came to see Lin Chong's ability, and both wanted Lin Chong to beat him and kill that bastard.In the past half a day, he has been so angry at Jiao Hong's head that his liver hurts. Chai Jin has come out of the trap.
