Chapter 57 The Capture of the Deadly Duo

Old Bai was startled by Guo Furong's eager-to-fight attitude and quickly ran outside.
While running, he shouted loudly.
"Someone was killed! Run! Someone was killed! Run!"
"Lao Bai's words were naturally meant for Tong Xiangyu and the others at the staircase."
"Guo Furong also chased after them relentlessly. Seeing Guo Furong coming down the stairs with such momentum, everyone began to panic. Zeng Xiaoxian instinctively protected everyone in front of him."
"Young hero, calm down, let's talk it out."
Guo Furong shook her waist and loudly said.
"Stop talking nonsense, today I will uphold justice and eliminate your black store."
Whether you have the skills to act in the name of justice aside, you must present yourself well in appearance.
"My goodness! Why does this sound familiar?" Da Zui exclaimed.
"The Dynamic Duo!" the crowd exclaimed.
"It's Shuang Xia." Guo Furong corrected.
"Why do you say our place is a shady business?" This time it was Tong the shopkeeper's turn to refute.
"It's not a shady business, then why isn't there a light outside the door?"
"If we don't turn on the lights, it's just to protect ourselves!" Tong, the innkeeper, said solemnly.
"If it's not a shady business, why do you need to protect yourself from me?" Guo Furong sneered.
"If it's a shady business, then we wouldn't need to protect ourselves from you." Tong, the innkeeper, replied with a sarcastic smile.
"What did you say!" Guo Furong shouted.
"I said... Zhan Tang is relying on you!"
"No, I can't. We must cripple him!"
Guo Furong burst into laughter, "Come on, let's kick him then!"
"Don't force me. Stop pushing me!"
"It's the Sunflower Acupoint-striking Technique, capable of turning the tide."
"In great turmoil, Bai Zhantang suddenly turned around and said to Mr. Lv with a sudden insight."
"Scholar, go ahead, it's your turn."
"Zeng Xiaoxian glanced at Bai Zhantang. Is he testing me?"
"After all, he is a weak bookworm who knows nothing about martial arts. Suddenly claiming to be skilled in martial arts, and able to fight ten opponents at once."
The cautious thief is bound to make a probe.
Zeng Xiaoxian does not hide anything either, as long as he doesn't turn into a small golden man by using the Indestructible Godly Skill, he shouldn't scare the thief away overnight.
Stepped out generously and posed the starting posture of Wing Chun, saying to Guo Furong on the stairs.
"Wing Chun, Lv Qinghou, please enlighten me."
"Enough with the nonsense, take a palm strike from this young hero."
With a mighty force that could move mountains and overturn the sea, this young girl may be small in stature but she possesses immense internal strength. Her punches are as powerful as those of a heavyweight boxer and can easily break bones upon impact.
However, the premise is that Guo Furong's Rank-and-File Attack can hit people. Because of her extensive knowledge in various schools and even some secret transmissions due to her family background.
However, even though she excels in everything, everything is loose and she cannot form effective combat power at all. The key is that Guo Furong has never experienced life-and-death battles.
The combat awareness and experience of Zeng Xiaoxian, who has been through the baptism of gunfire, are much better.
The key is that Guo Furong's light work is very poor, no matter how hard she tries, she can't hit Zeng Xiaoxian.
On the contrary, Zeng Xiaoxian's Wing Chun body movement is agile, and he always seizes opportunities in the small space of the inn's lobby to strike Guo Furong's weak points with Inch Fist.
Unfortunately, Zeng Xiaoxian lacks internal strength, and the scholar's body is indeed somewhat weak. When he hits Guo Furong, who has internal strength protection, it only causes pain but does not result in any effective injury.
After a half-day of attacking and defending, they exchanged blows for the duration of an incense stick burning. Although it may look impressive and even seem exhilarating to an outsider, those in the know understand that it is simply a lackluster performance from two amateurs pecking at each other.
Bai Zhantang's originally solemn expression also relaxed.
Of course, the reason why Guo Furong couldn't be defeated was also related to Zeng Xiaoxian's consideration of her identity and his unwillingness to use overly sinister tactics.
Otherwise, a direct move to grab the Nai Long Claw Hand would have forced Guo Furong to protect her chest with both hands, giving Zeng Xiaoxian the chance to launch a straight punch to her throat.
Then follow up with a punch to her eyes, and Guo Furong will be defenseless, as no amount of internal strength can protect the eyes.
Unfortunately, it's just wishful thinking. If he really did that, Guo Juxia would scatter his ashes.
So the heavy responsibility of dealing with Guo Furong has to be handed over to Bai Zhantang.
Directly using a Tai Chi cloud hand to leverage strength, the already existing move pushes Guo Furong towards Bai Zhantang, who has watched the play for a long time and is no longer pretending. With one move, he immobilizes her.
Seeing Guo Furong being restrained again, everyone cheered and praised.
"Ah, scholar, I didn't expect your martial arts to be so powerful, even the male villain of the duo could not defeat you."
People's impression of Lv Xiucan has greatly changed, not because he can really fight against ten people, but because he actually takes action when there is a crisis.
Bai Zhantang also dispelled his suspicion towards Xiucan, because the Wing Chun style that Zeng Xiaoxian practiced was not yet seen in this era, and it was indeed a unique martial art.
Even though his martial arts are exquisite, without internal strength, he is not a threat.
Xiao Xian also has a preliminary understanding of his own strength. If Guo Ju Xia belongs to the martial arts ceiling of this world, then Guo Fu Rong can only be considered third-rate.
曾小贤没有内力，算不上二流高手，但在三流中也算最强的了。
如果有一门武功心法，短则三月，慢则半年，曾小贤在二流高手中也能有一席之地。
Of course, Daibaidang is still no match for him, as he is well-known among top-notch experts.
The crowd securely bound Guo Furong and carried her to the backyard, planning to send her to the magistrate's office at dawn.
Putting aside the matter of Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing, it was already late and everyone went back to their rooms to sleep.
Xiu Cai and Da Zui shared a room. After returning to the room, Xiao Xian didn't go to sleep immediately. Instead, he took out the Four Books and Five Classics that he had studied for the imperial examination before.
These books are actually mainstream products that can be bought with money. What really matters are the notes made by the ancestors of the Lv family.
Inside, there are the main points of the formulaic essays, as well as annotations on the Four Books and Five Classics.
Don't forget that Mr. Lu's grandfather was also a Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examination) in both civil and military exams. What he left behind were all the real questions of the imperial examinations.
In fact, Mr. Lu memorized everything in these books, but why couldn't he pass the regional examination to become a Juren (a successful candidate in the second highest imperial examination)?
In Ceng Xiaoxian's view, with Lv Xiucan's talent, if he could pass the county-level imperial examination, he could also pass the provincial-level imperial examination. This is not something Ceng Xiaoxian said casually.
The content of the imperial examination can only come from the Four Books and Five Classics, but most of the possible questions for the county-level and provincial-level examinations have already been asked.
So when taking the examination for the title of "Zhuangyuan" (the top scholar in imperial China), the examiners would separate the sentences from the Four Books and Five Classics, and use only a few words from the middle to test the examinees.
This statement is incoherent, with words and phrases mixed up. Even the teacher cannot understand its meaning, let alone the students.
It greatly tests the candidates' basic knowledge of the Four Books and Five Classics, as well as their imagination. The key is that what you come up with needs to match the expectations of the local magistrate and the examiners.
However, when it comes to the imperial examination, it often depends on the mood of the chief examiner. Even if the test paper is sealed and the identity of the owner is unknown, if the chief examiner doesn't like it, it will be marked as a fail.
So in addition to the true talents and abilities of the candidates, what is more important is luck, your writing style, and whether your content matches the values of the examiner.
