Chapter II Negotiating the Future

Looking back at the short story of the original work and Wang Sansheng's memory, Gao Tai remembers that Sha Zilong was the chief escort of the Northwest Martial Arts Bureau before the Gengzi National Daughter. Later, when he saw that the honorable people of a country such as Cixi and Guangxu were beaten by foreigners, he also heard that after seeing the fact that his peers with high martial arts were shot to death by foreigners, he was disappointed with his martial arts practiced for the rest of his life.

The disappointed Sha Zilong first closed the escort agency and opened an inn at the same time. Because Sha Zilong, who was originally middle-aged, no longer practiced martial arts, was short and thin, and fierce and neat, Sha Zilong, who had become a white and fat old shopkeeper.

If he had not subverted his worldview, perhaps Sha Zilong would have chosen a few smart boys from his escort agency and passed down what he had learned throughout his life with the Five Tigers Soul-Breaking Spear. However, after he changed the escort agency to an inn, he clearly stated that he would never accept disciples.

Gao Tai wanted to be a teacher of Sha Zilong and learn the Five Tigers Soul-Breaking Spear. According to common sense, it is probably more difficult than climbing to the sky, but he didn't have time to worry about this, because when Gao Tai woke up, the first thing he saw was his family's poverty and poverty.

As a tall and big martial artist, Wang Sansheng has a good appetite every day and has a lot of appetite. However, he does not have a regular businessman. He is not a regular businessman. He is not a regular businessman, but he is often selling arts in the Tudi Temple or seeking some money at Shazilong, so he lives a tight life every day.

He is now over twenty years old and has not married or had children. It is because he is poor. However, Wang Sansheng has no other skills except martial arts. He used to save some money by following Teacher Sha to escort, but now the escort agency is gone, and Wang Sansheng can only live a life.

Gao Tai is not the simple-minded Wang Sansheng. He knew that his task was to learn the Five Tigers Soul-Breaking Spear and promote martial arts. At the same time, he also understood that neither of these two things could be done in a short period of time. To complete these two tasks, he had to be prepared for a protracted battle, so the first thing he thought of was to earn money to fill his stomach.

Recalling that Wang Sansheng had a junior brother, Chen Ergou, had good kung fu and had a strong relationship with Wang Sansheng, Gao Tai first went to find Junior Brother Chen, and used his own skills to learn from his father who was a carpenter to create a fake knife at first glance. At the same time, he practiced several fighting routines similar to martial arts performances in later generations with Chen Ergou. After practicing for a few days, he performed at the temple fair today.

This kind of performance that seems to be almost the same as a real fight has indeed caused a sensational effect. Gao Tai and Chen Ergou also earned rewards that they could not earn in ten days or half a month in the past in the morning.

After entering the east gate, Chen Bubu was afraid, so he took Gao Tai to find a tavern and picked a clean room to sit down.

Chen Buyan smiled and said, "Brother Sansheng, what do you want to eat? Do you want to order mutton?"

Gao Tai knew that Chen was not afraid of being greedy for meat, so he nodded and said, "It's worth two pounds, add another pot of wine, mix it with shredded radish, and soak it in two bowls of beef."

"Okay, Lao Pan! Come here... give us a pot of Fenjiu, cut two pounds of mutton, and mix shredded radish..."

Chen Buwei called the shopkeeper high and ordered him. After a while, Lao Pan, who was both the shopkeeper and the boss, brought the steaming mutton and the shredded radish.

He wiped the sleeves with chopsticks, and Chen Ergou handed Gao Tai a pair and said, "For you, brother."

Gao Tai felt a little disgusted when he saw Chen Ergou's black and shiny sleeves. He picked up his chopsticks and went to the kitchen to wash his hands on excuses. He took a scoop of water from the bucket and washed his chopsticks and hands, and then returned to the compartment.

"Eat quickly." Gao Tai picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the wine, and said.

After drinking a few drinks, Chen Ergou became a little aware. He said with a confused look on his face: "Brother Sansheng, you were a friend when you followed Teacher Sha to ward. I knew you were good at martial arts and righteous, so you will definitely become a big shot in the future..."

Gao Tai said a few politely, and his mind was filled with an idea. He thought that his martial arts skills were pretty good, and he had a group of martial arts brothers and friends. Now it is the first year of Xuantong in the late Qing Dynasty. Puyi will have to abdicate in a few years. After Yuan Xiangcheng's death, the land of China will become a complete warlord separatist situation, and the chaos will come completely. If it is twenty years later, it will be the time for Japan to invade China.

Thinking that the troubled times are coming, I might as well take advantage of my hard work and have brothers to form a gang organization, and then find a way to get in touch with the Tongmenghui. In this way, two years later, in the third year of Xuantong, Wuchang City fired the first shot of the revolution, and I could also revolt with the uprising. At that time, the Qing emperor abdicated and China became a republic. I couldn't say that I could be an officer, and it would be better to live a mess...

After the two of them had enough food and meals, Gao Tai's thoughts gradually matured. He looked at Chen Buyan with a burning look and said, "Brother! Have you ever thought about what to do in the future?"

Chen Ergou was affected by alcohol and was already much slower at this time. He was stunned when he heard this and asked, "What should I do in the future?"

After pondering for a moment, Chen Ergou said in his nostrils: "In the past, I wanted to practice martial arts well. Even if I couldn't be a martial arts teacher, I could still escort the escort to protect the hospital. If I didn't help, I would be a new recruit. I could always support myself... Alas... But now Teacher Sha has been closed for the escort agency and no longer practices martial arts. I want to serve the country. The court has stopped martial arts. If I become a new army, I will inevitably let the superior drink blood. Besides, the Qing Dynasty was unable to support it, so I couldn't say which day...uh..."

Chen Ergou was talking and suddenly remembered that the Qing Dynasty had not yet died. If someone heard the first lawsuit, he would be sued and then be treated as a revolutionary party and was imprisoned, he would be in trouble. So he was scared and sweated in a cold sweat. He hurriedly stopped and looked around in panic, and saw that there was no one in the hotel and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Gao Tai was about to hear Chen Ergou continue to talk, but when he saw him suddenly looking around, he woke up and said in his heart: There is no human rights and democracy in this era, and nonsense may cause a loss of mind.

After thinking about it, Gao Tai patted Chen Ergou on the shoulder and lowered his head and said, "There is no one around, don't be afraid. Brother Wei wants to discuss with you how we live in the future."

Chen Ergou had just sweated coldly, and most of the alcohol was dissipated. When he heard the words of Brother Wang, he hurriedly asked, "Brother, what are you thinking about?"

Gao Tai pondered: "When there are chaos today, you know that the court is getting worse day by day. The railway built by foreign devils can destroy our China's dragon veins. I guess the revolutionary party will most likely achieve great things..."

As he spoke, Gao Tai stared at Chen Ergou's expression. Seeing that he was a little nervous and fearless, he felt relieved and continued: "We brothers all have good martial arts and are young men. When this chaotic world is not going to be a waste of life if we don't do some big things?"

Chen Ergou's face slowly changed and hesitated: "Brother, it's not that I don't want to deal with you, but how can our tiny skills be able to defeat the firearms and foreign guns in the hands of the new army?"

Gao Tai smiled lightly and waved his hand and said, "Your brother, you misunderstood. Teacher Sha knows that martial arts is not as good as foreign guns. How could I think about making it... that? I mean that in this chaotic world, we can unite to protect ourselves and protect one side..."

Chen Ergou let out a long sigh, stroking his hands and smiling: "So it's an association?"

"Not bad." Gao Tai nodded, "I thought we could set up a gang and find a long-term job."

Chen Ergou nodded and said excitedly: "Brother, you said it well, but you need a lot of people to be a gang. We both can't speak at will!"

Gao Tai took out half of the money he had just shared and handed it to Chen Ergou, and said, "You go and contact all the original staff of our escort agency, and there are other brothers who have the time to stay with him but have no plans. Bring my words to them and see what they mean. In two days, we will invite the brothers who are willing to drink with us. Then set the rules of the regulations, and work together to do some business..."
