Liver in Water Margin, outlaw madman

Lin Chong left. Although he did not decide to kill Gao Qiu directly, he decided to secretly bring his wife and father-in-law to live outside the city for a period of time.

In case of emergency, it will be convenient to escape.

Lu Zhishen also got excited and began practicing his martial arts, so that he wouldn't be rusty later.

Seeing Zhang Shan's somewhat depressed expression, he couldn't help but say, "Brother, killing corrupt officials is a good thing, why aren't you happy?"

"Brother, if we really kill Gao Qiu, we'll get our revenge, but I don't know which corrupt official will benefit from all of Gao Qiu's wealth. I'm so frustrated," Zhang Shan said dejectedly.

He was genuinely frustrated.

He wasn't a young man; he was an adult, and a beaten adult at that.

He knew the use of money, especially since he was preparing to join the outlaws and needed to support his brothers. How could he support them without money?

They took the risks themselves, but others profited from the profits.

So he was depressed, very depressed.

Lu Zhishen, unconvinced, replied, "I thought you didn't want to kill Gao Qiu anymore, brother. Money is just an external thing. In this life, all we need is a clear conscience!"

Zhang Shan couldn't help but give a wry smile: "Brother, I can't be as carefree as you, so I'm just an ordinary person."

"If we really kill Gao Qiu, all these brothers who have grown up with me will have to follow me on the run, and I will have to take care of their food and drink."

"Also, we can't escape without money while we're on the run."

Lu Zhishen felt a headache coming on: "Ah, my head hurts. You're starting to sound a bit like General Zhong, who's always calculating money."

After saying that, he strode away, saying, "I don't care, I only know how to kill!"

Zhang Shan looked at Lu Zhishen's figure with endless envy.

He was genuinely envious.

Master Lu is not a person who engages in internal strife; he lives a carefree and natural life, no wonder everyone likes and envies him.

It's a pity he was just an ordinary person.

"Si Lang, come with me." Zhang Shan called to Li Si, and they followed him into the room.

Li Si quickly followed him into the room: "Brother, what's wrong?"

Zhang Shan looked at Li Si, and for a moment he didn't know how to say what he had already prepared in his mind.

Zhang Shan has a system, learns martial arts quickly, and has a high probability of saving his life.

However, Li Si and his brothers did not have any cheat codes.

They were just ordinary hooligans. If I hadn't interfered, they might have lived until the Jingkang era.

By then, they will most likely all die.

They were either cannon fodder, starved to death, or killed by the Jurchens.

However, if they follow me to kill Gao Qiu, they might die sooner.

Seeing that Zhang Shan remained silent and looked grave, Li Si knew perfectly well that something was on his mind. They had been brothers for over a decade, and he couldn't hide it from him.

In addition, the three of them have been hiding in the room together these days, discussing things.

I already had a pretty good feeling about her every time she looked unwell, and I had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on.

"Third Brother, are we about to do something big?" Li Si asked tentatively.

Zhang Shan nodded: "Si Lang, yes, there's a possibility of death, and once the job is done, it'll be impossible to establish a foothold in the capital. But there will definitely be opportunities to come back in the future; it's just that we have to leave for now!"

Zhang Shan was confident he could make a comeback, and he believed that when he returned, he would not be in such a sorry state.

"Third brother, we brothers have relied on each other for more than ten years. We may not all be heroes, but we are all courageous and responsible."

"If it weren't for you, Third Brother, leading us, these brothers might have starved or frozen to death long ago."

"If you leave, the brothers will definitely follow. Where can you find a good brother like that!"

Li Si spoke sincerely, his eyes reddening as he recalled the winter when he almost starved to death.

Seeing this, Zhang Shan's expression softened slightly.

He knew that if he took action, even if his brothers didn't actually do anything, anyone who had followed him or had any connection with him would be implicated.

"Ask them privately. I think most of them are fine. It's just that Big Guy has an elderly mother at home. If we just leave, there will be no one to take care of her." Zhang Shan was quite familiar with the situations of these brothers' families.

Those who can make a living by relying on their vegetable gardens every day are mostly people who have no one to rely on.

Anyone with even a modicum of connections wouldn't do this.

Li Si nodded: "Okay, I'll talk to the brothers privately first, and then I'll tell Third Brother."

"By the way, have the brothers find out where Fu'an lives and have someone keep an eye on him." Zhang Shan was still somewhat unwilling.

They killed someone but gained nothing.

Wouldn't he have killed for nothing?

We don't do business that loses money!

Fu An has been working in the Grand Commandant's mansion for a long time and should be very familiar with it. If he doesn't take something with him, Zhang Shan will regret it and won't be able to sleep.

After making the arrangements, Zhang Shan didn't waste any time and started practicing martial arts again.

This is the foundation for settling down and establishing oneself.

Relying on Lu Zhishen or Lin Chong is not as good as relying on yourself.

The bow and arrow technique is about to be perfected, but the others are unlikely to be perfected in the short term.

You must first practice archery; once you break through that barrier, your combat power will be greatly enhanced.

Long-range military threats are always the top priority.

"Brother, why is it so difficult to shoot accurately with this bow and arrow?" Zhang Shan asked Lu Zhishen.

Lu Zhishen was startled and took a jolt, thinking he was being asked for guidance.

Thankfully, the question was about why it was so difficult.

He's so experienced with this.

"Brother, look at this arrow shaft, it's damn substandard. The craftsmen who made it didn't put any effort into it."

"Each one is different lengths and weights; how can you possibly aim accurately!"

Zhang Shan hadn't really paid attention to this aspect before. He forgot that this was ancient times, and bows and arrows were all handmade, not machine-made. It was possible that each one was different.

Then the center of gravity might be different.

"Only by practicing more, using them more, and going through all these oddballs and flawed ones several times, will you know how to shoot most effectively once you get your hands on them," Lu Zhishen continued.

"Also, the bow you're using for practice is garbage, the worst of the worst. The bowstring is loose; it'll deform with the slightest force."

Lu Zhishen said one by one that he had no experience of success, but if you asked him to find fault with something, he would be absolutely right.

What are the secrets to success?

Success is success; only failure provides experience!

Lu Zhishen became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke: "Also, archery must be steady. You have to make sure that your force is about the same every time. If you use eight parts force one minute and seven parts the next, how can you be accurate?"

Zhang Shan nodded repeatedly and praised, "Brother, you are indeed well-versed in military matters, having served in the army for so long. Ordinary people would never know these tricks of the trade."

"Haha, that's right. I've served in the army for many years, and my reputation is well-deserved!" Lu Zhishen said proudly. These days, he had a strange fear of Zhang Shan and was acting much like Old Master Zhong.

Fortunately, I am strong in combat!

Lu Zhishen continued, "You're practicing in the courtyard. If you were outside, factors like wind, rain, and cloudy days would all affect your archery."

"Only after you have experienced and adapted to all of these things can you become a qualified archer."

After hearing this, Zhang Shan's head was buzzing.

"Brother, is becoming a sharpshooter really that difficult?"

Lu Zhishen nodded: "There are very few sharpshooters in the army, and each one is a treasure. Those who can become sharpshooters are not bad in martial arts. If their strength is unstable, how can their archery be stable!"

Zhang Shan took a deep breath and his expression became calm. He was not afraid of difficulties, but he was afraid of having no direction and no goal.

Now we have it.

He's going to shoot an arrow!

He's going to break through!
