Chapter 263 [Baffled]

Sheng Zhixing's words made the veterans feel clear-headed again. If they made good use of their own conditions, they could also achieve victory by surprise.

After hearing this, Ni Zhuang felt that he had to use a tactic as well: "Old Wu, let's attack together!"

Old Wu was still in shock, "Two against one?"

"Yeah, didn't he just say it? He wants to fight two people at once. Let's give him a chance to prove himself."

Ni Zhuang wiped his face, concentrated his mind, and recalled the scene of his punishment just now. This time he would not underestimate the enemy again: "Old Wu, you hold him back, I'll beat him up."

Old Wu nodded. Although this was an unfair victory, there were many one-on-many situations on the battlefield. "Okay!"

As a result, within two incense sticks, the two were defeated.

Sheng Zhixing's skills were not fancy, but every move he made was very practical. At this moment, as he was holding two people, his posture was even a little awkward.

Old Wu was pressed to the ground with his back, and Ni Zhuang was strangled by his neck.

Everyone was moved to see Sheng Zhixing really using his actions to tell the veterans that he could fight two people at the same time at his age.

Sheng Zhixing wasn't bragging! Even a man in his fifties could do it!

Sheng Zhixing glanced at the onlookers with clear eyes: "An old horse in the stable still has ambitions to run a thousand miles!"

"The martyr is still full of ambition in his old age!"

Only after both of them begged for mercy did he let go and got up from the ground.

Sheng Zhixing stood firmly on the ground with his legs, two strands of white hair swaying in the wind in front of his forehead. He was full of energy and said, "If I can do it, you can do it too!"

"Is there anyone who wants to challenge me?"

The eyes of the onlookers were full of admiration, and they wanted to be like Sheng Zhixing.

Jiang Lili curiously leaned over and asked quietly, "League Secretary, are you going to beat ten people?"

Upon hearing this, Sheng Zhixing pushed her aside and whispered, "You girl, you want me dead! I'm not a cheater like you! If I beat ten of them, I'll really die!"

The soldiers had surrounded the place tightly by now, and their eyes were no longer filled with loneliness and despair, but with light.

Sheng Zhixing only waited for a few moments before moving on to the next step: "Although not now, I'm waiting for you to come later!"

He was afraid that someone would really challenge him, and he was tired!

“The best time to plant a tree was ten years ago. The second best time is now.”

"Six months ago I was a frail old man, but now I can fight two people at once."

Sheng Zhixing waved his fist: "I will use my own methods to lead you to victory, and please trust me!"

——"Brother Sheng, I believe in you!"

The soldiers cheered loudly!

Hu Chen's eyes were filled with tears. He hadn't seen these old guys so motivated for a long time. Now Sheng Zhixing gave them hope of returning home early, and everyone had hope!

Sheng Zhixing patted Hu Chen on the shoulder and said, "Master Hu, I will write down the secret recipes and diet for physical exercise. You can just train according to my method!"

Hu Chen was also a man of temperament. He lost his usual nonchalant look and said with a sincere look: "I thank you on behalf of the soldiers. If you need anything in the future, please let me know!"

Without further ado, Sheng Zhixing immediately entered the tent where Lord Hu worked and bent over the desk to carefully write down his plan.

Jiang Lili couldn't help but praise him, "League Secretary, after all these years, your speaking skills have improved!"

"I was so excited listening to your pep rally just now. Fortunately, you are not in an MLM or selling classes at a gym."

Sheng Zhixing was stunned, raised an eyebrow in surprise, and whispered, "How did you know I was also an undercover agent in a pyramid scheme?"

After listening to Sheng Zhixing, Jiang Lili realized that when Sheng Zhixing first joined the team, the team was short of staff, so he was assigned to assist the economic investigation department in handling cases and go undercover in a pyramid scheme den.

In the end, Sheng Zhixing successfully brainwashed the victims and the small leader in the den, cracked the information of the big fish, followed the clues, and defeated a criminal gang.

Jiang Lili admires Sheng Zhixing very much. No matter what kind of environment he is in, the League Secretary can always play the cards in his hand beautifully.

Half an hour later, Sheng Zhixing wrote the plan and handed it to Lord Hu.

Jiang Lili asked Hu Chen: "Old man Hu, didn't you ask us to teach the serious criminal a lesson? Where is the serious criminal?"

"Come with me."

While looking through Sheng Zhixing's plan, Hu Chen led the two of them deeper into the camp.

Hu Chen introduced: "There are fifty serious criminals imprisoned here, including habitual thieves, hooligans who molest women and refuse to change, local tyrants who love fighting and causing trouble, and those who spread slander and rumors..."

Jiang Lili listened to what Lord Hu said and gradually figured out the details of these imprisoned serious criminals - their crimes were not punishable by death, but they posed a great threat to social order. Those prisoners who were arrested and released but still refused to mend their ways would be exiled and imprisoned in the deep mountains on the south bank to work, so that they could no longer harm or harass others.

This is really satisfying!

Jiang Lili couldn't help but ask, "What about that punch on your face?"

"These people are locked up here with nothing to do, so... the thieves steal the slanderers' things, the slanderers spread rumors about the liars, and the liars steal the thieves' things... the brawlers incite them to fight in groups."

Hu Chen was overwhelmed: "Anyway, these people are always looking for trouble and are restless!"

He was punched while suppressing the prisoners' riot.

At this moment, Hu Chen put away the plan in his hand and thanked Sheng Zhixing. He smiled bitterly and said, "Old Sheng, your plan is indeed very good, but the conditions in our mountain camp are not far from being able to make ends meet... Many aspects of the plan cannot be implemented."

Sheng Zhixing frowned, "How could this happen? Did the higher-ups withhold your supplies?"

Jiang Lili recalled: "In the past few months, I did see a ship coming from the north shore to deliver supplies to you once."

Lord Hu explained, "The supplies for our Dan'er County are distributed by the Haizhou prefect. He takes advantage of his high position and the emperor's distance to often withhold supplies."

"Haizhou Zhizhou? For some reason, I always feel that this Zhizhou has a very low sense of presence."

Jiang Lili thought about the power structure on Haizhou Island and said, "What I hear most from people on Haizhou Island is how arrogant Huang, the governor of Haizhu County, is."

Lord Hu affirmed Jiang Lili's words and pointed out that the governor of Haizhou was a figurehead, a high-ranking official with no real power. Haizhou Island was more difficult to manage than other places and was prone to the formation of local separatist forces.

"Your intuition is correct. The prefect's subordinates don't listen to him. He can only make his presence felt in Dan'er County. He dares not withhold supplies from other places."

Mr. Hu pointed to the rows of mulberry trees along the road and said, "I asked everyone to raise silkworms and farm not only to give them something to do, but also to be self-sufficient and make up for the lack of supplies."

"Everyone has been in the business for so many years, only knows how to wield weapons, and has almost forgotten about raising silkworms and farming. Moreover, the climate of Haizhou Island is different from that of my hometown, which leads to low production."

Jiang Lili knew that it was not easy for Lord Hu, but she didn't expect it to be so difficult.

In addition to farming and raising silkworms, there is also such a large camp that needs to be maintained.

"Over the past few months, you and Liao Dabao have been leading the villagers of Yeli Village in raising silkworms and cultivating the land, as well as taming wild livestock in the mountains. I've also secretly learned some, and I've finally taught everyone the tricks of raising silkworms and cultivating the land. The silk production has increased, but the efficiency of weaving is very low."

At this point, Hu Chen was puzzled. "By the way, how come you're so lucky! Almost every time I go into the mountains, I can find pheasants, wild sheep, and other animals, and they're all very docile. Why can't I encounter any? I was almost pushed off a cliff by a wild boar once."
