Young Master Gao? Call me Little Grand Secretary!

As the January appointment drew closer, Gao Zhao grew increasingly worried. Today, when he encountered Gong Sheng again, Gong Sheng kept glancing at him, making Gao Zhao feel uneasy and unable to concentrate on his training!

However, he soon encountered Lin Chong again, and immediately entangled him, asking him to watch Gong Sheng's martial arts and find his weaknesses so that he could find a way to counter his moves.

He had originally planned to ask Zhou Ang for help, but after seeing Lin Chong, who would bother with that scoundrel Zhou Ang anymore!

That fellow's weapons were two large axes; he looked like a crude and uncouth brute. He was nowhere near as elegant as us who used spears and clubs!

What's more, this is a perfect match for my major!

Lin Chong never expected to see Gao Zhao again. He had tried his best to avoid him, but he still encountered him. He immediately felt like he was being pricked by needles and felt very uncomfortable.

Gao Zhao chatted with him enthusiastically for a few minutes, but seeing that he was distracted, she felt displeased. How dare Lin Chong treat me like this? Isn't he being ungrateful?

That's true, Wang Lun kindly took him in, but he still killed him!

Since that's the case, if you don't want the young master's favor, then don't blame him for using his status to pressure you!

"Instructor Lin, you seem to have some dissatisfaction with me!" Gao Zhao's voice turned cold as he said calmly, "But where have I offended you, or been too polite to you?"

Lin Chong was taken aback at first, then turned to look at Gao Zhao. Seeing his frosty face and cold expression, completely unlike his usual jovial demeanor, Lin Chong felt a chill and quickly cupped his hands, saying, "This humble one wouldn't dare, young master, you've misunderstood!"

"Misunderstanding?" Gao Zhao snorted coldly, saying, "You looked exactly the same when I saw you last time. At the time, I just assumed you had something on your mind and didn't bother with you. Now it seems you simply don't respect me!"

"I wouldn't dare!" Lin Chong's forehead broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this, and he felt a sudden panic in his heart!

Having spent many days with Gao Zhao, although he knew that Gao Zhao was the son of the Grand Commandant, he was easy to get along with and as time went on, his sense of awe faded.

Later, upon learning that he had tricked Sun Yuan and his wife into rescuing him, he was grateful but also somewhat disgusted by such behavior.

In addition, Fang Shi's insults that day made him resent Gao Zhao even more, which is why he showed such an attitude!

Seeing his sudden change of attitude, Lin Chong immediately realized that Gao Zhao was not his friend, never had been!

The fact that he can be polite to people like us means that he is willing to humble himself and befriend them, but it doesn't mean that we can offend him!

"Hmph, don't talk about 'dare' or 'don't'! We'll come together if we're on good terms, and we'll part ways if we're not!" Gao Zhao snorted coldly and said in a deep voice, "Speaking frankly makes you seem more upright!"

Lin Chong knew inwardly that things were going badly. He knew that if he truly offended him today, he would inevitably face endless trouble in the future. After struggling for a moment, he gritted his teeth, cupped his hands, and said, "I am truly sorry, young master, but I have my own difficulties and dare not get too close to you!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Zhao perked up. "Tell me what's wrong! Young master Gao loves helping people solve their problems!"

Moreover, everyone I've helped says it's great!

"Oh, what's wrong? Tell me!"

Lin Chong hesitated, opened his mouth but didn't know how to start. It was too embarrassing for him to say such a thing, especially in front of Gao Zhaozhi, the subject of his scandal.

Seeing Gao Zhao's serious and unyielding expression, and knowing that he would offend him if he didn't explain himself clearly today, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Someone... spread rumors... saying that the young master coveted... my wife... and that I sold my wife for personal gain..."

"Ah!" Gao Zhao exclaimed in shock, "How could this be!"

Lin Chong also said with grief and indignation, "He also said that the reason the young master saved me from prison was because of that woman... Alas!"

"This...this is slandering someone's innocence!" Gao Zhao was so angry that he was trembling all over!

He's been framed!

He swears he's innocent; he only glanced at it twice!

If I actually do it, then you can say whatever you want!

The young master is an upright person and won't hold it against you!

But how can you falsely accuse someone! I'm always the one who falsely accuses others!

"Who is slandering me!" Gao Zhao roared in a low voice.

Seeing his expression, Lin Chong breathed a sigh of relief. This didn't seem like an act; it seemed his wife hadn't betrayed him!

"These were the words of Fang Shi, the military instructor!"

Lin Chong naturally hated Fang Shi to the core, but he couldn't bring himself to do it to him. He could vent his anger through Gao Zhao. Since he had already brought it up, he didn't hide it anymore and told him directly:

"I even fought him that day because of this. If Instructor Zhou hadn't stopped me, I would have killed him!"

"Zhou Ang knew too!" Gao Zhao was both shocked and furious. It turned out that all these people had been talking about him behind his back!

Is there a single good person left in the Imperial Guard?

No wonder you couldn't stop the Jurchens, you deserve it!

However, he quickly regained his composure. Although there were many bad guys in the Imperial Guards, the most important thing right now was to deal with Gong Sheng. So he said, "I will get an explanation from Fang Shi myself. Now, go and check Gong Sheng's martial arts skills and find his weaknesses!"

Lin Chong was taken aback and asked in surprise, "Wasn't Gong Sheng a defeated opponent of the young master? He was beaten so badly by the young master that his head was bleeding profusely and he fainted on the spot!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Zhao immediately beamed with joy: "Haha...you know about this too!"

Seeing that he had returned to normal, Lin Chong felt relieved and laughed, "It's all over the army! Everyone knows that you are incredibly brave and invincible!"

"Haha...it's not that exaggerated!" Gao Zhao waved his hand modestly and said, "I didn't expect him to be unable to even catch one of my batons! Hahaha!"

Lin Chong's lips twitched, and he forced a smile, "So, the young master asked me to find flaws in his moves today to warn him?"

Gao Zhao's eyes lit up, and he looked at Lin Chong in surprise. This coward is something else!

If you had been this good at talking earlier, I might have considered you a friend!

"Yes! That's exactly what I meant!" Gao Zhao nodded repeatedly, "I felt bad about injuring him last time, and I was thinking of finding a chance to make it up to him!"

"Young Master, you are truly righteous!" Lin Chong cupped his hands and said, "Then I will go and do it immediately!"

Gao Zhao watched Lin Chong's departing figure and shook his head. The way to manage subordinates is to use both kindness and severity!

Confucius was right: it is difficult to deal with petty men and women; if you get too close, they become disrespectful, and if you keep your distance, they resent you!

Lin Chong is a despicable man!

After expressing his feelings, Gao Zhao turned around and ran back to continue training.

After his training session ended that day, Lin Chong came over and explained all of Gong Sheng's weaknesses, even taking into account his personality flaws. He then designed a set of targeted shooting techniques to teach Gao Zhao.

This marksmanship is not difficult. With Gao Zhao's current skill level in marksmanship, he can learn it in no time. All that's left is to practice diligently!

As the sun set, Gao Zhao continued practicing his spear skills on the training ground, marveling at Lin Chong's martial arts prowess!

A few days later, the day finally arrived for the duel with Gong Sheng!
