Lin Tailai's rhetorical question sounded like a provocation to Gao Panlong's ears.
Because when Gao Panlong was a boy, he was a famous child prodigy in eight villages in Wuxi County. When he reached adulthood, he won the imperial examination three years ago, when he was 21 years old.
Moreover, he was praised by the examiner as "the best scholar in the world", so he was a very arrogant person, and no one except Gu Xiancheng was convinced.
Gao Panlong immediately jumped off the platform and said to Lin Tailai: "Then I will learn Mr. Jingchuan's art from Lin Sheng!"
Lin Tailai looked around and saw a flagpole erected in the open space behind him.
It is said that during the reign of Emperor Taizu Gao, students who violated the law and did not study seriously would beheaded and then hung up a flagpole to show the public.
A person like Lin Tailai, who was always unruly, would probably not survive more than three days if he fell into the hands of Emperor Taizu Gao.
Then Mr. Lin walked to the flagpole, stretched out his hand to test the thickness, and nodded with satisfaction.
When everyone was confused and didn't know what Lin Tailai was holding the flagpole for, they saw Lin Tailai shouting loudly and pulling out the flagpole without any effort.
This flagpole is also four to five meters long, and the end that is inserted into the ground has a pointed end, which can be used as a gun tip. Lin Daguan is even more satisfied.
He skillfully shook the "big gun" with both hands, pointed the gun tip at Gao Panlong, and shouted again: "Let's start!"
Gao Panlong: "???"
An Xifan and Gao Panlong, who were standing in the crowd, were close in age. They had always had a good relationship and would get married in the future.
At this time, An Xifan couldn't stand it, so he stepped forward and shouted: "Friend Lin plans to rely on his height and strength to defeat others with force?"
Lin Tailai answered rationally: "Didn't this high-ranking friend want to see the skill inheritance of senior Tang Jingchuan?
This is the Liuhe marksmanship passed down by senior Tang Jingchuan, and I am here to show it to my friends!"
Everyone was stunned. Is this the skill you mentioned was passed down from Tang Shunzhi?
Gao Panlong angrily scolded: "This is the academy, hundreds of comrades are here, An Neng can just sit back and watch you do whatever you want!"
After hearing Gao Panlong's words, everyone seemed to be reminded of something and silently stayed away from Gao Panlong.
Tang Shunzhi's marksmanship was very famous back then. If Lin Sheng really learned Tang's marksmanship, it would be safer not to be around Gao Panlong.
Seeing Gao Panlong with a large circle around him, Lin Tai got into a mischievous mood, suddenly stepped forward, and then stabbed straight with his gun!
Gao Panlong stepped back subconsciously, but his heel accidentally got caught in the crack of the bricks, and he fell backwards and sat on the ground.
Lin Tailai couldn't help laughing, leaning on the flagpole and laughing: "I was just joking with the Xishan gentlemen, why should I take it so seriously!
I, Mr. Lin, am a gentle man after all, but I don’t know much about martial arts, so Lord Gao can rest assured!”
At this moment, suddenly the Zhang brothers in the distance shouted: "Be careful while sitting in the restaurant!"
From the crowd of servants not far away on the other side, six big men with angry faces rushed out.
And without saying anything, he went straight to Lin Tailai.
Lin Tailai subconsciously turned to Gao Panlong and asked, "Who are these people?"
As soon as Gao Panlong fell, these people rushed out, and they must have something to do with Gao Panlong.
Besides, the Gao family made their fortune from loan sharking. How could such a family not have any thugs?
Therefore, Mr. Lin guessed that these six big men who looked like thugs were probably Gao Panlong's servants.
Gao Panlong climbed up from the ground without saying a word, and just watched the six thugs rushing towards Lin Tailai with an expressionless expression.
As long as you don't say anything, it's not your instigation, and it has nothing to do with you no matter what the beating is.
Six against one, the advantage is mine.
Lin Tailai saw Gao Panlong and did not answer. He could only turn around and fight with the flagpole in hand, shaking his gun.
When the distance was about the same, the gun shot out like a dragon in an instant, stabbing down two big men in succession!
But the crisis has not been resolved, the scene is relatively open, and the other four big men are already close.
Anyone who knows marksmanship knows that people who are used to big guns are most afraid of being approached.
Gao Panlong thought to himself, four against one, I still have the advantage.
Lin Tailai immediately dropped the flagpole, jumped a few times to dodge, and opened up a little space to prepare for the situation.
In the eyes of outsiders, they could only see that Lin Daguan was forced to throw down his weapon, jump and dodge a few times, and then punch a few times with his big sleeves, and all four big men fell to the ground.
One-on-six, he was completely defeated without any injuries in the blink of an eye, and the total was less than ten rounds!
Lin Tailai didn't even break a sweat and sighed secretly, this time was not satisfying at all.
The local people on and off the stage were stunned. This Mr. Lin also said that you don’t know martial arts?
These thugs from the Gao family are known to be brave and have defeated all the opponents in Wuxi County. Are they all fake?
Before everyone came to their senses, Lin Tailai shouted extremely angrily at Gu Xiancheng on the platform:
"I am a scholar with a trivial life! I am just passing through Xishan on a study tour!
Unexpectedly, I was besieged by villains in the academy! It turns out that this is how you in the Xishan literary world entertain our fellow foreigners!"
Gu Xiancheng, who has always been extremely eloquent, was left speechless when questioned.
What kind of useless thugs do the Gao family raise? If they win, there will be no problem at all!
Another student, An Xifan, the most loyal believer, stood up and accused Lin Tailai:
"It was your nonsense about Mr. Jingchuan's inheritance that caused the misunderstanding in the first place!"
Lin Tailai retorted: "Sing whatever song you go to in any mountain is a kind of etiquette!
I deliberately mentioned Mr. Jingchuan, a famous scholar from Changzhou Prefecture, out of respect for you from Changzhou. Is this wrong?
Under normal circumstances, shouldn't they use Mr. Jingchuan's name to flatter each other and appear friendly?
Who knew that there would be such a fool in your land? After hearing about Mr. Jingchuan’s inheritance, he would definitely jump out and challenge!
Then what else can I do?"
An Xifan: "."
Oops! This person is even more quibbling than Teacher Gu. What should we do?
In fact, when I was asked about the origin of the sect just now, it wasn't that Lin Daguan had to talk about Tang Shunzhi, it was mainly because there was no other suitable person to talk about.
Limited to his social circle, the people he knew in Suzhou were all dissolute celebrities, and none of the orthodox scholars were willing to accept him as a student.
In the end, only the crazy Zhang Youyu was willing to teach the Book of Changes and could be regarded as an industry teacher.
But as for Zhang Youyu's character, Lin Daguan was generally embarrassed to tell others about it.
At this time, I heard Gu Xiancheng ask Lin Tailai clearly again: "Who did you learn from in Confucian classics?"
This time we will not talk about skills, but directly talk about classics.
Not because Mr. Gu is verbose, but because this is a very important issue.
Anyone who has read Journey to the West knows that before fighting monsters, you must find out where the monster is, and then you can decide whether to capture it alive or to kill it directly.
Lin Daguan sighed and said helplessly: "Follow Mr. Zhang Youyu to study the Book of Changes."
Perhaps he could not answer the question of his master's origins, turn around and leave, but that would not be enough to respect his master.
But if his identity is discovered in the future and he is attacked as "ashamed of his master's sect", it will become a stain on his life.
Gu Xiancheng breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be this old madman who couldn't pass the national examination.
Gao Panlong finally waited for the opportunity and immediately said: "It turns out it's this ugly scholar."
This is the reason why Lin Daguan doesn't want to mention the sect.
As a plastic student, Lin Tailai had to defend himself in public, but he was not in a hurry to scold Gao Panlong and just said:
"Young and old men are innocent and innocent, and their hearts are much purer than those who are enthusiastic about political affairs."
Everyone didn't feel much after listening to it, mainly because they didn't specify who the person who was "enthusiastic about political affairs" was.
However, Lin Daguan said to Gu Xiancheng without hesitation: "I heard that Mr. Gu wrote more than ten letters to Shen Shoufu. His spirit is commendable!"
Wucao! Gu Xiancheng was surprised. How did the man named Lin know about this? Even the specific number was quite different.
Then he immediately explained: "I am just persuading Prime Minister Shen, as the chief minister, to be brave enough to take on the responsibilities and correct the imperial court. I have no other intention."
Lin Daguan praised: "Mr. Gu is really enthusiastic about political affairs. He is the official in charge and cares about the heart of the chief minister."
