Liver in Water Margin, outlaw madman

Upon hearing this, Lin Chong's face changed color repeatedly, turning from green to purple.

After a long silence, he murmured, "Don't they have any shame?"

Zhang Shan hadn't expected Lin Chong to say such a thing, and couldn't help but shake his head, saying:

"Face? How many officials care about face? They weigh the pros and cons."

"Brother Zhang Shan is right, Brother Lin Chong. The weaker you are in this matter, the more they will take advantage of you. Compromise won't work," Lu Zhishen said loudly.

"If it were me, I would kill Lu Qian first, then Gao Yanei, even if it meant risking my life."

Lu Zhishen said excitedly that he couldn't quite understand Lin Chong's thoughts.

Lin Chong's face turned deathly pale, and he slumped into a chair. "It's not that I, Lin Chong, lack temper, but if this happens, my family will inevitably be destroyed, and my wife and father-in-law will suffer as well. How can I bear it!"

Zhang Shan was about to try to persuade him again, but seeing Lin Chong's words...

The phrase "even heroes have their moments of weakness" couldn't help but come to mind.

What does it matter if you're at a disadvantage, even if you're willing to risk your life?

"Brother Lu, Brother Lin, you're both right," Zhang Shan said directly. "But the decision-making power now doesn't lie with us, it lies with Gao Qiu!"

"What do you mean?" Lu Zhishen asked, somewhat puzzled.

Lin Chong was taken aback: "They'll come again?"

Zhang Shan nodded, not only because he was familiar with the plot, but also because he understood human nature.

For thousands of years, the banners on the city walls have changed.

Whether it's technological progress or scientific development,

But human nature has never changed!

"But the next step might not just be targeting Madam Lin, it could be targeting Brother Lin as well."

"Targeting me?" Lin Chong asked, still puzzled.

Zhang Shan nodded: "Yes, once Brother Lin is gone, Sister-in-law will naturally not be able to escape his clutches."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Lin Chong suddenly stood up from his chair and shouted, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! This is right under the emperor's nose! How could Gao Qiu possibly cover up the truth!"

Zhang Shan was surprised by Lin Chong's reaction.

For a moment, I didn't know what to say next.

Even after he had said all that, Lin Chong still held onto a sliver of hope and retained a touch of naivety.

"Brother, think about Instructor Wang Jin," Zhang Shan reminded him, as he really didn't want to take the final step.

Lin Chong shook his head: "I'm different from Wang Jin. He beat up Gao Qiu, but I didn't!"

At this moment, Madam Lin calmed down and, together with Jin'er, brought over tea. She said in a low voice, "My lord, my two brothers, Zhenniang wasn't harmed by him. Besides, contentment brings happiness, and forbearance brings peace."

Hey.

Not a family, do not enter the door.

The innocent Lin Instructor, the naive Lin Madam.

It's a pity I was born in the wrong era!

Both parties decided to swallow their pride and suffer in silence, and he and Lu Zhishen ended up getting no credit for their efforts.

Lu Zhishen was a little angry and deliberately said, "You are a man who is looking forward to the future, unlike me, who is just a monk with no ties and no worries. I only need to eat my fill so that my whole family won't go hungry."

After saying that, he stood up, turned around, and left.

Seeing this, Zhang Shan cupped his hands in greeting to Lin Chong and said, "Brother Lin, please be careful these days!"

Things have changed, and Zhang Shan is unsure how Gao Qiu will harm Lin Chong.

As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm, and the late bird suffers the consequences.

Gao Qiu had many ways to deal with Lin Chong, but Lin Chong basically only had one path to take if he wanted to fight back against Gao Qiu.

Ordinary people wouldn't have this kind of courage!

Lin Chong hesitated for a moment, then got up and saw the two of them to the door, bowed goodbye, and then closed the door tightly.

Lu Zhishen stormed into the vegetable garden and downed three large bowls of wine before he felt a little better.

"Brother Zhang Shan, show me a few moves." Lu Zhishen was displeased and wanted to retaliate.

"Alright, I'll spar with you a few times, brother. Please go easy on me!" Zhang Shan said excitedly.

He had long wanted to spar with Lu Zhishen, and after practicing a few moves, he couldn't wait to try it out.

As the saying goes, "He who possesses a sharp weapon will naturally harbor murderous intent."

When I first started learning kung fu, I wanted to practice with someone.

Lu Zhishen put his monk's staff aside and laughed loudly, saying, "Brother, you're a straightforward fellow. Let's practice our fists and feet today."

After saying that, he stretched out his right fist.

Zhang Shan dared not take the blow head-on; even if Lu Zhishen held back, it was still beyond his current ability to withstand.

Taizu Changquan (Emperor Taizu's Long Fist) is characterized by its agile and varied footwork. With a sidestep, he avoids a straight punch while simultaneously clenching his right fist and swinging it toward Lu Zhishen's chest.

He knew he couldn't win, but even if he lost, he was determined to land a punch on Lu Zhishen.

Lu Zhishen was surprised that Zhang Shan not only dodged the attack but also dared to throw a punch at him. He shouted excitedly, "Good, good move!"

He liked Zhang Shan's personality; even though he knew he couldn't beat him, he still dared to throw a punch at him.

Instead of simply dodging.

They have courage and boldness.

Lu Zhishen neither flinched nor dodged, but stood tall and proud.

Bang

A soft sound.

Zhang Shan punched Lu Zhishen.

hiss.

My right fist was a little sore from the recoil.

Damn it, I hit someone else, and it actually hurt me.

"Brother, your skin is too thick," Zhang Shan said enviously.

"Haha, that punch of yours was pretty good, it even hurt a little," Lu Zhishen praised.

Zhang Shan was speechless for a moment, wondering whether this was a compliment or an insult.

He kept talking but his feet didn't stop. Zhang Shan had just attacked with all his might, but he couldn't even break through the defense, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Instead of continuing the brute force, it started spinning rapidly.

As Lu Zhishen fought, he said, "The Taizu Long Fist is all about power and ferocity, with wide and sweeping movements. I'm going to defend now, so you can try attacking with all your might."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shan didn't hesitate any longer; where else could he find such a good sparring partner?

Top-tier warriors from the Water Margin will serve as sparring partners.

Without saying a word, Zhang Shan charged forward, swinging his fists.

Bang bang bang.

Lu Zhishen reached out to block, and shouted, "Use your waist and abdomen to generate power, strike the head with one hand and protect the chest with the other, combining offense and defense!"

Zhang Shan adjusted his power based on the instructions.

Lu Zhishen was even happier to see that Zhang Shan understood so quickly.

That's one of his good qualities; he's straightforward and easygoing. He gets upset when things don't go his way, and he's happy when things do.

This seems simple, but it is incredibly difficult in reality.

Many people have to suppress their joy when they are happy.

Even when you're unhappy, you have to force a smile.

"The battlefield is ruthless, fighting is ruthless. You hesitated when you tried to kick my groin," Lu Zhishen said with displeasure.

Zhang Shan chuckled: "Brother, if it were anyone else, I definitely would have kicked them."

The two chatted and laughed, exchanging pleasantries, and time flew by.

Zhang Shan knew without even looking that his proficiency in Taizu Changquan was definitely increasing rapidly.

Suddenly, Zhang Shan realized that he could punch faster, his footwork was more agile, and his whole body suddenly became more coordinated.

Bang bang bang.

Several punches landed in quick succession, leaving Lu Zhishen somewhat unable to react.

The pace suddenly quickened.

"Brother, you've broken through?" Lu Zhishen asked in surprise.

The movements just now were clearly more skillful, no, they were already quite proficient. They were not just second nature, but natural and smooth.

Only skilled soldiers who dedicate themselves to martial arts training for one or two years can achieve this.

How did Zhang Shan reach that point so quickly?

Zhang Shan was having a great time, throwing punches and kicks non-stop, and shouted, "Big brother, take a few more punches from me before we talk!"

Whether or not we break through, we're in the middle of something and can't stop now.

Lu Zhishen burst into laughter: "Alright, let's have another three hundred rounds!"

After saying that, he used three-tenths of his strength to unleash the Taizu Long Fist and strike at Zhang Shan.

In no time, the vegetable garden became increasingly lively with people coming and going.

Mountains crumble when you rely on them, and people run away when you rely on them.

Only what is yours truly belongs to you!

While they were having a lively and enjoyable time, the Grand Commandant Gao's residence was eerily quiet.

The servants in the mansion all walked on tiptoe, afraid of making a sound and getting themselves into trouble!
