Chapter 110 Chen Jun Persuaded Surrender
Lin Kunlun and Sun Ying were originally rushing to the next stronghold, but they suddenly stopped and listened solemnly to the whispers coming from outside.
"This Chen Jun... why did he suddenly appear?" Sun Ying's voice was filled with surprise and confusion, his brows were furrowed, as if he was being pulled by an invisible force that made him unable to look away.
"Ever since the county town was captured by bandits, it has become a ruin. We common people can still survive, but how can those officials who live a life of luxury and comfort survive?" There was a hint of sadness in Sun Ying's voice. He looked into the distance, as if recalling the past days.
"This Chen Jun must have escaped. But..." He paused, and his voice suddenly became anxious, "But I still can't figure out how he escaped from the ruins and how he came here?"
Sun Ying's expression was full of doubts. The scenes in the county town kept appearing in his mind: officials were panicking, people were displaced, and everywhere was in a mess. He couldn't imagine how Chen Jun, who was once high and mighty and lived a life of luxury, could survive in such an environment.
Lin Kunlun stood quietly by, his eyes also full of doubts and curiosity. He knew that Sun Ying had some knowledge of the county's situation, but he also knew that the information might not be comprehensive. He was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Perhaps, he has his own methods. After all, these officials' children always have some methods that we don't know about."
The two men looked at each other and saw the firmness and determination in each other's eyes. No matter how Chen Jun got here, they had to be careful. After all, in this chaotic world, any small mistake could put them in an irreparable situation.
"Why don't you ask your boss Sun to come out! Just tell him that an old friend is here!" Chen Jun's voice was getting louder and louder. It was mainly because many of Boss Sun's subordinates knew him. That's why he was allowed to walk in front of Boss Sun's tent.
"Boss Sun! Let's meet him and see what he is going to do!" Lin Kunlun said after thinking for a while!
"Okay! I'll see him first!" Sun Ying nodded, and turned to the guard outside the door and said, "Please let him in!"
Soon, Chen Jun followed a guard in. He was wearing a black robe and looked very energetic, not at all embarrassed. This made Lin Kunlun and Sun Ying feel strange. Didn't he escape?
"Boss Sun! Long time no see!" Chen Jun had a smile on his face and he bowed to Sun Ying in greeting.
"Mr. Chen. How are you?" Sun Ying also bowed to Chen Jun in return. There was no expression on his face, and no one knew what he was thinking!
Chen Jun's expression froze for a moment, then returned to normal, and he said with a smile: "Thanks to Boss Sun, everything is fine!"
"Oh, really?" Sun Ying smiled slightly. He looked into Chen Jun's eyes and said word by word, "In that case, I have something I want to ask Mr. Chen today!"
"Oh?" Chen Jun was stunned. He didn't expect that Sun Ying would not be as polite as before when he came here this time. Instead, his attitude became cold!
This made him feel a sense of crisis. He pretended to be calm and said, "Please tell me. I will tell you everything I know."
"Mr. Chen, can you tell us what happened in the county town that day?" Sun Ying asked directly, without any ambiguity. "As far as I know, after the rebels occupied the county town, all the officials and their families in the county town were arrested. Why did Mr. Chen suddenly come here?"
Chen Jun immediately understood what Sun Ying said. He didn't know that his family had taken refuge with Zhang Shan. He must have thought that he had escaped.
"Hahaha! Our Chen family has been operating in Xishan County for several generations! No matter who occupies the county, they will still need our help!" Chen Jun laughed confidently.
"What! You mean you joined the rebels?" Sun Ying didn't expect the Chen family to join the rebels so quickly. And looking at the current situation, the rebels are not bad to them.
"You can't say such harsh words! It's just that a man of insight is a wise man! Now it's just a temporary measure!" After all, Chen Jun is a second-generation man, and he can say anything. And he also intends to show off in front of Sun Ying.
"A stopgap measure?" Sun Ying sneered, staring at Chen Jun with eyes as sharp as a knife. "Mr. Chen, do you know what kind of situation we ordinary people will face if the rebels gain power? The stopgap measure you mentioned will probably put the people of the whole county in dire straits! And if the imperial army comes, do you think those rebels can stop it?"
Chen Jun was choked by Sun Ying's words. He didn't expect Sun Ying to expose his lies so directly. He smiled awkwardly and tried to change the subject: "Boss Sun, you and I are both smart people. Why do you have to say such harsh words? I came here just to cooperate with you to deal with this chaotic world together."
"Cooperation?" Sun Ying couldn't help but interrupt, "Mr. Chen, do you think there is anything we can cooperate on? You have joined the rebels. Are you trying to persuade us to surrender as well? Besides, he is just a peasant. How can he be our leader?"
Chen Jun's face darkened when he heard this, but he soon smiled again: "Boss Sun, you can't say that. In this chaotic world, anyone can become an enemy, but they can also become friends. And as long as we cooperate, Zhang Shan won't matter. We will be able to take control of this team soon. If the imperial army comes, we can kill Zhang Shan and make a great contribution!"
Sun Ying and Lin Kunlun looked at each other, and saw determination in each other's eyes. They knew that no matter how eloquent Chen Jun was, they would never cooperate with him. They knew Cheng Jia's plan very well. It was nothing more than making preparations for both situations. If the court was powerful, they would surrender to the court. If the court was unable to suppress these rebels, then they would follow the rebels!
"Mr. Chen, we appreciate your kindness." Sun Ying said slowly, "But our paths are different, and we cannot cooperate with you. Please leave."
Seeing Sun Ying's determination, Chen Jun knew that staying here any longer would be useless. He stood up and bowed to Sun Ying and Lin Kunlun: "In that case, I won't bother you anymore. I hope we will have a chance to meet again in the future."
After saying that, Chen Jun turned and left. Sun Ying and Lin Kunlun watched him disappear outside the door, their hearts filled with worry.
"Brother Lin! We really don't want to cooperate with Zhang Shan!" Sun Ying asked hesitantly.
"Boss Sun, the provincial government's army hasn't moved yet, so it's easy to suppress such a rebel army! Let's wait until the situation becomes clear! Besides, if your 100-plus brothers go there and are beaten up by them, you won't have anyone left to use! As the saying goes, it's better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix!"
"Well said! It's better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix! If I don't have these brothers while observing mourning, I will be at their mercy!" Sun Yingjie nodded, agreeing with Lin Kunlun's opinion.
