Chapter 23: Strength Contest, Fight for the Spear

Lu Yuan pointed a gun at Zhang Yannian.

There was an uproar all around.

The bodyguards responded coldly.

The road is long, and a mere refugee, a new captain, dared to be disrespectful and insult the sergeant of their personal guards.

No matter how much they looked down on Zhang Yannian, he was their fellow townsman and they had a common interest.

Even if they wanted to insult the other party, it could only be their personal soldiers.

And the journey was long. For a newly-arrived refugee, insulting the other party was almost like slapping them in the face. When they looked at each other coldly, they also remembered the long journey.

They are all thinking about whether to teach each other a lesson in the future.

However, when they saw Zhao Zheng's extremely ugly face that seemed about to explode, they were stunned.

Zhao Zheng will definitely kill the other party. If that's the case, there's no need for them to do anything else.

And those new recruits.

All of them looked excited.

Since they came to this mountain, they have suffered a lot from these personal soldiers.

In the last battle in Qingping County, more than half of their men died, and they narrowly escaped death before they cut off an ear.

It was just a few meters, but the other party still deducted it.

It’s not that they don’t know this, they just dare not speak out.

And now, seeing the other party being humiliated in front of Lu Yuan, who was also a new recruit, he secretly cheered.

I silently gave Captain Lu a thumbs up in my heart.

They have only dreamed of such things.

Now, Captain Lu can turn their dream scenes into reality.

How could they not be happy and impressed?

Zhang Yannian looked at Lu Yuan as he lowered his spear a little, and his angry face looked extremely ugly.

How could he not understand what the other party meant at this moment?
This is a competition of strength with me. If I want the other party's weapon, I will snatch it from him.

His face was extremely ugly.

After training for nearly half a month, how could he not know that Lu Yuan was a man born with supernatural powers?
When I was training with the 35-pound weight on my back, I was out of breath.

After getting food, some muscles grew on his body, as if his innate power had awakened. After a few days, carrying heavy objects became like a piece of cake for him.

In recent days, after an hour of training, even Zhang Yannian was a little out of breath.

And he looked at the other party, who was training as if he was strolling in the garden, without even a drop of sweat.

Both himself and the other party were only carrying thirty-five grams of weight.

The gap is obvious.

Of course he didn't want to compete with the other party.

However, at this moment, in front of everyone, if he retreats, the name of waste will always accompany him in the future.

What will happen to him then?

Moreover, this would bring shame to Captain Zhao.

By then, one can imagine his situation!
There is no place for him among the personal soldiers anymore!

Thinking of this, he became angry and stared with resentment at Lu Yuan, who had put him in a dilemma, and took a step forward.

He stretched out a hand and slowly grasped the shaft of the opponent's outstretched spear, glaring at the other person.

He has no choice.

I can only hope that I had a snack in the early morning and ate enough, so that I will have plenty of energy now.

The other party hadn't eaten for several hours, and perhaps his condition had declined.

You don't have to defeat the opponent, you just need to catch him off guard and exert force instantly to make him stagger.

Then I would have won!
He glared at the other person, trying to attract his attention.

Seeing that the other party still had that expressionless face and his hand was still some distance away from the spear, he made a lightning-fast move, grabbed the spear and pulled it hard.

His face already showed an expression of success. With such a quick move, the opponent would definitely not be able to react.

Maybe he can really snatch this spear!

From now on, he will hold his head high among his personal guards and these new refugees!

Zhao Zuchang will definitely value him more in the future.

The resources that are withheld may be distributed more to ourselves.

Thinking of such a wonderful scene, the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously and he looked towards Lu Yuan.

He wanted to see the other person's panic, annoyance and regretful expression.

But he couldn't tell anything from that thin face.

It was as if in the other person's eyes, the person in front of him was not worthy of any expression at all.

Zhang Yannian was furious. In his eyes, this was tantamount to a humiliation.

He put all his strength into pulling back harder, trying to move the spear.

However, the expression on his face changed from smugness to surprise.

He put all his strength into pulling out the spear, but it remained motionless.

It was as if it was fixed to the other person's hand with iron paste.

Zhang Yannian continued to exert force, grabbed the spear tightly, and pulled it backwards.

However, no matter how hard he tried, his face turned red, and he still couldn't move the spear at all.

After struggling for a few breaths, he saw the other party's teasing eyes.

It's like looking at a useless ant who doesn't know his own limitations.

This broke down his last psychological defense.

He shouted loudly without caring about his face or what others thought of him.

He also grabbed the spear with his other hand, and with both hands, he put all his strength into pulling it back hard.

Even the whole body leans backwards, and falls backwards with the help of the body's strength.

Why should he care about his dignity now?
If he gave up like this, he didn't know what would be waiting for him.

He couldn't bear the result!
Even if you use both hands, in the eyes of others it is not a fair victory, or it is not a victory, but a failure.

But so what? As long as he can get the spear, in his eyes, he will be successful!
At least, by taking the spear away, the opponent also lost face!
It was also equivalent to regaining some face for Captain Zhao and his personal soldiers.

Then, he is not a failure!
This matter will at most become a laughing stock among fellow villagers, but I can still participate in it. If I throw some dirty water on Lu Yuan, no one will remember my disgraceful behavior.

He clenched his teeth and his face turned purple.

The spear was finally shaken a little.

Slowly come towards him.

He had a smug look on his face.

He succeeded!

He, Zhang Yannian, would immediately snatch the other party's spear.

The face he had lost was about to be regained by himself!

Zhang Yannian, feeling proud, leaned his body backwards, almost to a forty-five degree angle, and used the force of gravity to try to snatch the weapon from the opponent in one breath.

However, the veins on his forehead were exposed and his teeth were bleeding from biting them.

A force suddenly came from the other end of the spear!
His body stopped leaning backwards and stopped completely!

Zhang Yannian was not surprised but happy! !

This force must be because the other party also used both hands!
He had already forced the other side and used both hands.

If so!

He has regained his face!
He could even give up competing with the other party now.

Now that he had saved his face, he wanted to ask the brigade commander to punish the other party for the crime of disrespect!

Thinking of this, he looked at the other person with bloodshot eyes.
