Chapter 333 Are you Cai Wenji?

In the spring of the sixth year of Zhongping, Hedong County.

"Go away!"

The servant on horseback raised his whip and whipped Chen Ran, who was standing on the post road and blocking the way.

The next moment, Chen Ran grabbed the whip and pulled the evil slave off the horse.

Logically speaking, he should admit his mistake in a nice way at this time. Chen Ran has already demonstrated strong enough strength.

But the evil slave who fell to the ground did not restrain himself. Instead, he kept shouting and cursing, and called on his companions not far away to come and help.

Looking at the evil slaves who drew their weapons and rode their horses straight towards him, Chen Ran, with an expressionless face, took a step forward, raised his leg and kicked the throat of the evil slave on the ground, breaking it, leaving him no outlet to vent his dirty words.

Then he turned around, clenched his fist, and faced more than a dozen fierce riding slaves without fear.

His punches are as strong as mountains and his kicks are as fast as lightning.

He single-handedly dealt with more than ten cavalry slaves.

The last surviving slave was terrified and pulled the reins hard, turning his horse around and running away.

Chen Ran leaned over, grabbed a horse that was knocked unconscious by his punch, and threw it over hard.

The slave rider was knocked over by a horse weighing hundreds of pounds. His blood boiled, but he still shouted, "If you dare to provoke the Hedong Wei family, I will make sure you die without a burial place~~~"

"Hedong Wei clan?"

Chen Ran stepped forward, squatted down and asked, "What is the reign title of the current emperor?"

The slave rider was stunned, just like modern people who don't know what year it is.

Chen Ran slapped him and said, "Speak!"

"Zhong, the sixth year of Zhongping."

"Zhongping? Hedong Wei family?" Chen Ran pondered the information in his mind. "The ancestor of Hedong Wei family is Wei Qing?"

"Exactly! How dare you provoke the Hedong Wei Clan?"

Chen Ran stood up and kicked him on the temple. "If Wei Qing knew that his descendants were so unbearable, he would have cut them off forever and not given them a chance to be born!"

To him, it was just a minor incident that was not worth mentioning.

After collecting the spoils and taking a few horses that were not killed, they continued to walk along the official road.

As for what these servants of the Wei family are going to do, they naturally don't care.

"During the Zhongping period, that was the time of Emperor Ling of Han."

"Huang Chao. Ahem. The Yellow Turban Rebellion was put down not long ago. The aristocratic families are already sharpening their knives, ready to swallow up the Han Dynasty."

As Chen Ran walked, he thought, "Why did you ask me to come here this time?"

'World Quest: Calm the chaos among the heroes at the end of the Han Dynasty.'

'Task reward: 3,000 deviation points.'

"It's not easy." Chen Ran also smiled. "You know I've run out of it, so you're giving me some more?"

The system did not respond and was as stable as a dead dog.

"The Three Kingdoms are fighting each other. How can I quell it?" Chen Ran was also scratching his head.

"This is the era of aristocratic families. At the very least, one must have a good background. If not a family of officials, one must be a descendant of Alexandre Dumas, the King of Zhongshan. As an illegal resident, I can probably become a bandit."

"If only I had come a few years earlier, I could have helped the Great Sage Master to completely level the world!"

He found a village, took some five-zhu coins he had searched for from the riding slaves, and bought a place to stay.

I also bought some dinner, a bowl of corn porridge and boiled beans.

After eating, he went to bed and said they would talk about it tomorrow.

In the middle of the night, Chen Ran was awakened by the noise outside.

I put on my clothes and pushed the door open, and saw a group of men holding torches, dragging their horses.

Chen Ran didn't yell "Stop! This is my horse!"

He didn't say anything, just stood at the door, tied his clothes slowly and casually, then walked over.

"Is this your horse?" The leading man looked at Chen Ran and said casually, "We are under the command of General Qi Tian. We are now requisitioning your horse."

"General Qi Tian? Who is so bold as to use this title?"

Chen Ran asked curiously, "What's your general's name?"

"It's General Yang Fengyang!"

"Oh~" Chen Ran immediately pretended to understand, "It turned out to be the Baibo thief."

The so-called Baibo bandits were the remnants of the Yellow Turbans who rebelled again in Baibo Valley and were rampant in Taiyuan, Hanoi and other places.

"Be bold!"

The thieves were furious. How dare they call them thieves?

Everyone rushed forward with weapons raised, but Chen Ran did not dodge or retreat. He rushed straight into the crowd and punched and kicked.

He was so strong that one of his punches had a force of three thousand pounds.

Anyone who has been hit by a car knows the pain of being hit by a full-force swing.

In a short while, all the thieves were knocked to the ground, leaving only one alive.

"Where is your old camp?"

"In a valley more than 20 miles away from here."

"How many people are there in the old camp?"

"Thousands of people."

Chen Ran frowned slightly. "It will be difficult to fight against a few thousand people."

He glanced at the shivering captives, then looked at the several horses he had captured in the yard, and immediately an idea came to his mind.

"Go, lead the way."

When the sky was just getting light, they had already arrived in front of a valley.

The entrance to the valley is narrow, with a wooden gate with a fence.

Chen Ran held the short blade in one hand, pressed it against the prisoner's back, and whispered, "Knock on the door." The prisoner swallowed his saliva and shouted to the fence, "Open the door quickly, I'm back."

Someone inside the fence was holding a torch and looking around. "Who is it? Why are you alone?"

He Chai thought, 'The others are all dead.'

But feeling the cold short blade on his back, he could only bite the bullet and shout, "I found a few good horses, let me send them back first, they are all behind."

The night watchman didn't think much about it. He opened the gate of the village and let people in while yawning.

"The defense was lax." Seeing how easily they entered the stockade, Chen Ran couldn't help but look down on the "rabble."

Leading the horse inside, Chen Ran whispered, "Take me to find your general."

He Chai didn't dare to disobey and could only lead the way tremblingly.

At this time, the sky was just getting light, and some people who had gotten up early to fetch water and chop wood were already setting out.

I met many people along the way, but no one came forward to investigate.

Arriving in front of a row of wooden houses, He Chai whispered, "My general is among them."

"Go in and tell them you have found a fine horse for the general."

He Chai was very nervous.

If I really cooperate and help, can I still survive afterwards?

He took trembling steps forward, staggering with hesitation.

Such actions finally aroused the suspicion of the guard at the door: "What's going on? Is he sick?"

He Chai's eyes flickered, and he suddenly rushed forward, shouting "There's a thief, ah~~~"

How could Chen Ran give him a chance? He just killed him with a single blow.

The guards were horrified and rushed forward with their weapons drawn.

Chen Ran rushed forward like lightning and knocked down several guards to the ground in no time.

He put the short blade back into his shoe covers, reached out to pick up a beheading knife, and strode into the wooden house.

At this time, there was some movement in the house, and a strong man came forward with a knife.

Chen Ran curled the corner of his mouth and was about to take down this person, but he was shocked to see two lines of subtitles floating before his eyes.

'Meet the character Xu Huang in the novel. He is one of the Five Great Generals. He has outstanding ability to lead troops and is praised for his "Zhou Yafu-like style" in defeating Guan Yu and rescuing Fancheng. He has a calm personality and is not startled in the face of adversity. He is a famous general under Cao Cao.'

'Note: You can modify two of the words.'

"It's the Romance of the Three Kingdoms." Chen Ran didn't pay attention to the modifications to Xu Huang. His attention was focused on interacting with the characters in the novel.

There is a huge gap between Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the official history of the Three Kingdoms.

For Chen Ran, the operating space is naturally different.

In the novel, Lu Bu, who likes single combat and must be besieged by default, does not count.

Chen Ran is confident that he can be invincible in a one-on-one fight.

Xu Huang had already chopped down the big knife in his hand, but Chen Ran did not retreat but advanced directly, rushing forward and swinging his knife to block the big knife.

Xu Huang couldn't hold the knife handle steadily, and was shocked. "What a strong force! !"

Before he could react, Chen Ran had already arrived in front of him and sent him flying with a shoulder charge.

Xu Huang fell to the ground and felt as if his internal organs were displaced.

He endured the severe pain and tried to get up, but when he looked up, the cold blade was already across his neck.

He sighed and closed his eyes.

But after a moment, not only was he not killed, the cold feeling on his neck disappeared.

Confused, Xu Huang opened his eyes and looked at Chen Ran.

"I intend to recruit you into my tribe. Are you willing to follow me?"

Xu Huang lowered his eyelids and remained silent.

"I don't even know who you are, so why would I chase you? Are you from a certain family, or a descendant of an official? Or a relative of the Liu clan?"

Chen Ran was not in a hurry, so he simply changed "a famous general under Cao Cao" to "a famous general under Chen Ran".

Xu Huang felt dizzy for a while, and after he recovered, he raised his head and said sincerely, "Your Excellency's martial arts are unparalleled, and I admire you. I am willing to follow you and serve you."

Chen Ran smiled and gestured, "Stand up and talk."

"Yes."

When Xu Huang got up, Chen Ran looked at him and asked, "Did you just get up, or haven't you slept yet?"

"Let your Excellency know." Xu Huang responded respectfully, "Yesterday, when we were out looking for food, someone captured the unmarried wife of the Hedong Wei family and brought her back to the camp. I was planning to write a letter to the Hedong Wei family in exchange for money, food and fodder."

Chen Ran instantly remembered the riding slaves of the Hedong Wei family that he had killed. "It can't be such a coincidence."

He coughed and asked, "What's the woman's name?"

"She claims to be the daughter of Cai Yong, a former court councilor."

"It's really her." Chen Ran stroked his chin and said, "Take me to see her."

Cai Yan was panicked, helpless and worried.

She was originally waiting for someone from the Wei family to pick her up, but no matter how long she waited, no one showed up.

Later, instead of the Wei family’s people coming, a group of thieves came!
She and her followers, as well as her dowry and other belongings, were all seized by the thieves and sent to this unknown place.

If it weren't for the fact that she was the unmarried wife of a young man from the Wei family in Hedong, even her innocence might have been in jeopardy.

I don’t know how these thieves will deal with me.

She trembled with fear when she thought of the terrible stories she had heard about people falling into the hands of thieves and being brutally raped.

The door was pushed open, Cai Yan was startled and subconsciously clenched the hairpin in her hand.

It is better to fight to the death and avoid humiliation than to be humiliated by thieves and then sold.

Chen Ran strode inside and looked at the girl in front of him in the rising sunlight outside the window.

"Are you Cai Wenji?"
