Lu Zhishen said he didn't want to watch, but as he held his wine cup, he looked at the scene with great interest, probably treating this performance as a side dish. At this time, seeing Shi En wanting to fight Jiang Meng single-handedly, his spirit suddenly lifted, and he laughed: "This young man is ignorant, such a strong thief can only be subdued by force, where is there a need for so much nonsense? If it were me, I would just go up and grab him, throw him aside and that's it. Now let's watch these two men and women compete."

  Yang Zhi smiled wryly and said, "Brother's divine power is astonishing, but this young man is still wet behind the ears, how can he compare? I see that Jiang Zhong has a sturdy build and seems to have some strength. He also said that at the Taiyue Conference, he fought for three years without an opponent, so he must have some real talent and substance. I'm afraid this young man is no match for him."

  Gao Jian saw that they were saying something interesting, and couldn't help but interrupt: "In the opinion of Master and Yang Ge, can this Golden Eye Panther, Shi En, last a few rounds under Jiang Men's Godly Hands?"

  Lu Zhishen gazed at the two men who had taken their stances in the arena, scratching his bald head: "This is hard to say, if this young man's hands and feet are agile, and he knows how to use cleverness, it's not necessarily certain that he'll lose to this big fellow. It's just that he was intimidated by the other side's imposing manner, and was forced into a corner before he spoke out in challenge, I'm afraid..."

  Just as he was saying this, Xi En saw Jiang Meng Shen walk around him in two circles, making several gestures as if to pounce, but Jiang Meng Shen didn't even look at him, standing still with his arms crossed, as stable and calm as Mount Tai. Xi En found his opponent mysterious and unpredictable, feeling anxious and uneasy in his heart, yet he didn't dare to take the initiative to attack.

  Lu Zhishen observed this scene and pointed out: "This young man is bound to lose! Generally, when using a small force to defeat a larger one, you should first tease and provoke the opponent, making them feel anxious and impatient. Their strength will then be easy to control, and with the method of 'using four ounces to move a thousand pounds', their attack will fall flat. Then, striking from the side, victory can be achieved. Now, this Jiang Meng is calm and composed, unmoving as a mountain, while the young man's mind is unsettled, his strength insufficient, and his techniques unable to be applied - how can he not lose?"

  Lin Chong and Yang Zhi, Lu Jian listened to Lu Zhishen's words, were all deeply impressed, and they raised their cups one after another to toast him. Hua the monk was a generous host, and the wine flowed freely.

  Lin Chong's heart was filled with a plan, and he hastily asked Lin Chong: "Master Lin, the disciple sees that this young man is about to lose, if the opponent is ruthless, I'm afraid he will suffer some bitter consequences, and my heart can't bear it, can you spare his life?"

  Lin Chong laughed and said, "This young man is too arrogant, this happy Lin has not been around for just one day, I'm afraid he's also bullied many people, today it's time to get revenge, why should we care about this trivial matter?"

  "With a heavy heart and urgent thoughts, it seems that I can only make a desperate attempt. 'Master, the disciple thinks that this Jiang Mengen is not a good person either. Even if Jin Yanbiao is gone, I'm afraid the people in this area will still be bullied by others. The disciple has a plan to protect the peace and quiet of this place, as long as this young man is useful, I hope Master will support me.'"

  Lin Chong and others were shocked, never expecting that this young master had such a heart. As his teacher, how could he not take care of him? Seeing several white wax poles leaning against the tree beside him, Lin Chong picked one up with a smile and said to Gao Qiang: "Disciple, today I'll teach you again to open your eyes."

  As they spoke, the men beside Zhang Dou's head began to clamor and curse Shi En for being a cowardly scoundrel. They shouted insults and challenges but didn't dare to come forward and attack. It would be better to take a block of tofu and smash him to death with it, rather than losing face here. Some quick-witted people had already borrowed a block of tofu from the nearby shop and were waving it around, causing hundreds of people to burst out laughing.

  Shi En was young and vigorous, at this moment his blood was boiling, he rushed forward to hug Jiang Meng's waist, but as soon as he got a hold of him, he wrapped his arms around his opponent's waist. He was overjoyed in his heart, thinking that his opponent was all show and no substance, waiting for the right moment to exert his strength and throw him down, but it was like hugging a big tree, using all his might without seeing any movement at all.

  At this moment, he was greatly shocked and only then did he realize that Jiang Mengen's reputation for being unbeatable in the Tai Shan wrestling match for three years was not unfounded. However, at this moment, both sides were close together, if one were to retreat and change moves immediately, they would be met with a fierce counterattack from their opponent. Shi En gritted his teeth, lowered his body, and came forward to sweep Jiang Mengen's lower abdomen.

  Jiang Meng laughed loudly, taking advantage of Shi En's momentary lapse in attention, and with a burst of strength, he grabbed Shi En's waistband and lifted him upside down!

  Just as he was about to use force and throw him to the ground, seeing that Shi En would inevitably be seriously injured, a loud voice shouted from over thirty feet away: "Since victory and defeat have already been decided, why must you harm someone's life? Stop!"

  As the voice "stop" sounded, a white light shot towards Jiang Mengen like lightning, and none of the hundreds of people present had time to react. When the white light stopped, it revealed its shape - a white wax stick inserted between Jiang Mengen's legs, with the front end buried in the ground for who knows how deep, and the tail trembling non-stop at his groin.

  Jiang Mengen's divine general, Shi Enju, was suspended in mid-air, but his heart was still racing with fear. This sudden attack came too quickly, no less intense than a strong siege crossbow. At this moment, he only felt that the white wax rod between his legs shook with each tremor, as if it were striking his heart, and large beads of sweat dripped down from his forehead, but his whole body didn't dare to move at all.

  That man was initially startled, then furious. Looking at the white wax stick's origin, he saw a well-dressed official holding one white wax stick in each hand, standing with his feet apart, as if rooted to the spot. Although his face wore a smile and his words were conciliatory, his voice was loud and clear, and no one dared meet his gaze.

  Zhang Dou's heart skipped a beat, knowing that this person was not ordinary. Looking at his companions again, they were all extraordinary in appearance. Among them, a white-faced young man smiled especially disgustingly, and another middle-aged man wore the uniform of a forbidden army commander. He was a cautious person and did not want to tear his face easily since the identity of the visitor was unclear. Moreover, today's goal had been achieved, and Shi En had been toyed with by Jiang Meng at will, like an infant. From now on, it would be difficult for him to stand firm in this Happy Forest, and it was time to quit while he was ahead.

  However, the official tone remained unchanged: "Guards! These two men have finished their duel and are now leaving. Anyone who has business to attend to should continue as usual, but if anyone else causes trouble or fights, I will not show mercy!" Clearly telling Jiang Mengshen that today's big matter had been settled, he told his subordinates to take over the wine shop and spare the young man.

  But Jiang Mengen stood still, holding Shi En in both hands, as if he hadn't heard him speak. Zhang Dou was puzzled, and saw the official smile slightly, tossing the white wax stick to the side. Jiang Mengen suddenly came back to life, gently placing Shi En on the ground, wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and glared at the official before turning around to summon his men to receive Kuai Huilin.

  He was still very generous, and with a round of applause, he bowed to the guests who were still in the hotel, claiming that today's host had good news, and all the guests who came to eat and drink would be free, courtesy of Jiangmen Shen. It didn't cost him a single penny, so this favor was done very easily.

  When Shi En was defeated, the soldiers in the camp naturally did not dare to make another move. They rushed up and surrounded Shi En back to the city. Jin Yanbiao, who was busy, still turned his head and made a fist towards Lin Chong's side, which was considered as a thank you for saving his life. However, if he were to come up again and make friends with Lin Chong and others, it would be a new defeat, and he had no face to see people.

  As the music stopped and the crowd dispersed, Lu Zhishen let out a yawn and said to Gao Qiang: "Disciple, we've seen all the excitement, rescued the people, drunk the wine, eaten the meat, and don't even need to pay the bill - what's the point of staying here?"

  Lin Chong heard this and burst out laughing: "Brother Shu is indeed a clever person, let's go then. But just now the apprentice mentioned that there was a plan to ensure the safety of the people in this area, I wonder what it is?"

  Gao Xiang laughed and said, "Master's wise judgment is needed. This time, the disciple has used the Golden Eye Leopard to make this plan, so I ask Master to save him. However, whether this person can be used or not, the disciple still doesn't know for sure in his heart. Let's first enter the city and then discuss further."

  Several people stood up and walked away, completely ignoring Zhang Dou's gaze and the hundreds of gazes from others, heading straight to Mengzhou City.

  Yu Lu Gaoqiang asked Lin Chong to teach him the technique of throwing a white wax rod, and only then did he know that this was the spear-throwing method passed down from the Western Regions. It is said that in ancient times, there was a country called Da Qin in the far west, with sharp armor and vast territory, its military formations changing endlessly, and this spear-throwing soldier was one of the best among them, with martial prowess shaking the barbarian lands. Gaoqiang listened to Lin Chong's explanation while thinking about Jiang Meng, who had been struck by Lin Chong's spear throw earlier and stood there like a wooden chicken, not daring to move slightly. He couldn't help but feel itchy and eager to learn, shouting that he wanted to study it, and Lin Chong naturally agreed with a smile.

  As they approached the city gate, only a few soldiers came to meet them. The leader of them, with his fists clenched, said to Lin Chong: "This official, I am under the command of the prison camp, and now I have been ordered by the small camp to come here to welcome you and your companions. We would like to invite you to our camp for a chat, and also to thank you for saving our lives. We hope you will agree."

  Lin Chong was noncommittal, only looking at Gao Qiu's expression. But in his heart, Gao Qiu was secretly delighted. If Shi En had retreated with his tail between his legs after this defeat and didn't even think to invite him to join forces, then he would have lost all courage. Now, being able to remember this matter after such a disastrous defeat proves that his mind is still clear and he has some remaining ambition to make a comeback, making him a talent worth using.

  At this point, he gave Lin Chong a wink, and Lin Chong understood, so he smiled and said: "I was just about to make friends with Little General, please lead the way."

  Those soldiers were overjoyed when they heard the words, and led a group of people to come to the prison camp in the east of the city. Before they arrived, one of the soldiers rushed ahead to report their arrival. Only then did Shi En accompany a middle-aged military officer out of the door to greet them. When he saw Lin Chong and the others, Shi En immediately knelt down and bowed his head, saying: "Shi En is not talented, thank you for saving my life, I only dare not ask your honorable surname and great name."

  Lin Chong hastily went forward to help him up, thanking him repeatedly. The military officer was the old camp commander, who hurriedly invited Lin Chong and his group to sit in the private house of the camp, asking each one's name and surname, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, saying words like "I have long admired your great reputation, which is as familiar as thunder in my ears".

  Dai Deng heard that Gao Qiu was the commander of the Imperial Guard, and Shi En father and son were shocked, hastily knocking their heads in greeting, saying "Having eyes but not recognizing Mount Tai". Gao Qiu quickly stepped forward to help them up, speaking with intention to win them over, very humble, Shi En father and son were both overjoyed. When they learned that the commander's trip this time did not avoid hardship, it was to send Yang Zhi to the capital to the Grand Marshal's mansion, again repeatedly praising Commander Gao for his lofty righteousness.

  Lin Chong wanted to repay the kindness of saving his life and also wanted to make friends with Gao Qiu, so he insisted on staying for a short while. Gao Qiu had intended to use him all along, but pretended to be humble for a few sentences before half-heartedly agreeing.

  Xie En was overjoyed at the sight, and hastily led him to a side room to rest. He also ordered hot water and towels to be sent up, and personally handed one to Lin Chong, his face filled with reverence. Gao Qiu watched this with a pleased heart, thinking: My plan has succeeded!
