In April of the second year of Xuantong, Jingmao Hutong, Beijing.

The temperature in Beijing is lower than that in Xi'an. Now it is time to enter Xiaoman, but there is still a cool breeze passing by, which is very comfortable to blow on your body.

Since Gao Tai followed Xu Shichang and Sun Lutang and his party arrived in the capital five days ago, Xu Shichang arranged for Gao Tai to live in the side courtyard of his mansion.

Xu Shichang was a first-rank official, and when he returned to Beijing, he had many government affairs to deal with. He went to the Forbidden City for several days and did not come back. He only returned home in a sedan chair this morning and then went to bed.

Gao Tai asked Sun Lutang, who had just returned with him, and Sun Lutang said: "The Regent was assassinated by the famous party last month. Although he was not injured, he was also quite frightened. He has not been in the palace these few days. It is up to Lord Xu and Prince Su to maintain the situation. I heard from the adults that several southern provinces have famines this year, and there have been many rioters. He also wants to maintain the situation in the Northeast and also needs to provide pensions to the south. He has not had a good sleep these two days."

Gao Tai nodded, and Sun Lutang suddenly grabbed him and asked, "Junior brother, are you still used to living in Beijing?"

Gao Tai smiled and said, "Living in Lord Xu's mansion, you don't have to worry about food and clothing, why don't you get used to it? I have also gone to the overpass these days, listened to a few crosstalks, and saw the fall of the capital. The overpass is chaotic, and those who can stay are also really capable."

"I have nothing to do today. I will take you to meet the martial arts fellow in the capital." Sun Lutang pulled Gao Tai to his room and said, "I'll change my clothes first."

After a while, Sun Lutang changed into a clean coat and took Gao Tai to a restaurant outside the front door.

This restaurant is not conspicuous, with the golden paint on the sign peeling off, and you can vaguely see that it is the "Quanxi Pavilion".

Sun Lutang knocked on the door, and light footsteps sounded inside the door, and the back door panel was opened. Gao Tai saw a handsome young man, who was tall and of the same age as him.

"Senior Brother Sun! The old man is waiting inside."

Sun Lutang smiled and nodded, introducing to Gao Tai: "This is a disciple of my Bagua Sect, Mr. Zhang. Last year, he was introduced by Mr. Zhang to practice under the Xingyiquan master Li Cunyi. He is from Tianjin and is both a fellow villager and a cousin with the Tianjin hero Huo Yuanjia."

After saying that, Sun Lutang pulled Gao Tai up again and said solemnly: "Junior Brother Han, this disciple Wang Sansheng, the old hero of the Northwest Spear King Sha Zilong, is also the general leader of the Xi'an National Salvation Spear Association. He is also a peer generation, so you are close to each other."

Gao Tai was shocked when he heard that this young man was Han Muxia and said to himself: Premier Zhou’s master? The martial arts coach of the Big Sword Team? This is a big shot in the future.

Han Muxia's age is very different from Sun Lutang. Although he is a brother and brother, because Sun Lutang is very capable and has a master's demeanor, he has always respected Sun Lutang as a teacher in his heart. At this time, seeing that Senior Brother Sun attaches so much importance to Wang Sansheng, he couldn't help but feel curious. However, he is not arrogant, but is loyal and kind, so he smiled and bowed.

Gao Tai hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Brother Han!"

"Junior Brother Wang and I come in and meet the master of our Xingyi Sect." Sun Lutang said with a smile.

Gao Tai thought to himself: This master must be Li Cunwenyi. He, Dadao Wang Wu and Cheng Tinghua, are close friends, and Guo Yunshen's personal disciple. He also learned Baguazhang from Dong Haichuan, and is a veritable martial arts master.

The three of them said and walked, and before they even arrived at the inner room, they heard an old and hearty laughter: "Is the living monkey here?"

Sun Lutang walked into the room in two steps, bowed to the old man sitting on the upper head and said, "Is Mr. Li in good health when he comes in?"

The old man wore a melon-shaped hat, silk robe, a short white beard, a high nose bridge, and bright eyes. He stood up and helped Sun Lutang up and smiled and said, "I asked Bai Nian to find you. I turned around for a long time before I came back. He said you followed Lord Xu into the palace?"

"Mr. Xu is busy with state affairs, so I have to accompany you to protect him." Sun Lutang smiled and leaned against him and said, "Master, I will introduce you to you. This junior brother Wang Sansheng, Wang is the president of the Xi'an National Salvation Spear Association, and the teacher is Mr. Sha Zilong, he..."

Sun Lutang introduced Gao Tai seriously and solemnly. When Li Cunyi heard Sha Zilong's name, his eyes flashed. When he heard what the National Savior Association did, he couldn't help but laugh and exclaimed: "Okay! Brother Wang is a real hero!"

Gao Tai smiled indifferently and bowed: "I heard about the famous "Quick Knife Li" in the capital many years ago. It is really admirable that you killed foreign devils when you are fist-making!"

Li Cunyi waved his hand and said, "The past is not necessary to be mentioned."

Gao Tai saw a short man behind Li Cunyi's expression depressed. When he remembered the master of Bagua Sect, Cheng Tinghua, and fell into the storm of Yi and Fist. Li Cunyi and Master Cheng had a close relationship, and he might have felt sad when he remembered the past.

Sun Lutang pulled Gao Tai down and said, "Master, Lord Xu also appreciates Junior Brother Wang's talent and ability. He insists on following him back to Beijing. I think Mr. Sha is afraid that he will make Junior Brother Wang famous in the capital. I will introduce you to you and have some advice in the Beijing-Tianjin area in the future."

Li Cunyi smiled slightly and asked, "Brother Wang, how are your Five Tiger Soul-Breaking Spear?"

Gao Tai said politely: "Senior Li, just call me Sansheng. When my family master passed on the skills, I studied hard and learned all the marksmanship by chance. I practiced quite well."

Li Cunyi nodded and waved his hand and said, "Okay, Sansheng, these are my disciples, you know each other. Yun Xiang, Bai Nian, Mu Xia, you guys pay homage to Senior Brother Wang."

"Shang Yunxiang has met Senior Brother Wang."

"Huang Bonian met Senior Brother Wang."

The short middle-aged man and a tall and thin man stepped forward and Gao Tai returned the greeting in a hurry.

There were Han Muxia and another young man in the house. After meeting him, Gao Tai realized that this young man was named Fu Jianqiu and had just become a disciple and learned every two years.

Gao Tai didn't have a deep impression of Li Cunyi's disciples. Except that Han Muxia only remembered it because of Premier Zhou, he also had some impression of Shang Yunxiang. It seemed that Shang Yunxiang was the best one among Guo Yunshen's disciples who practiced the "half-step Bengquan" among the disciples.

After the few of them were polite, they all sat down to chat. Li Cunyi and Sun Lutang talked about the martial arts affairs of Beijing, Tianjin and Cangzhou generation. Most of them were those whom XX accepted as disciples, where did XX set up a place to accept disciples, and who XX fought with them, how to win or lose.

Gao Tai listened with relish, especially when he heard Li Cunyi ask Sun Lutang about Huo Yuanjia going to Shanghai to compete with British strong men last year, he became even more excited.

Sun Lutang smiled and said, "Last year, Huo Junqing heard that there was a British strongman in Shanghai who wanted to challenge Chinese martial arts. He said that Chinese people are sick men in East Asia, so he invited me to go with him and asked his friend Nong Jinsun to send a newspaper to fight in Shanghai. I said that I was afraid that the strongman in Shanghai would not dare to fight. After arriving, he disappeared from the foreigner."

When Shang Yunxiang, Han Muxia and other disciples laughed loudly when they heard this, they seemed to be ridiculing the foreign strongman's overestimation and escape behavior.

Li Cunyi asked: "How did you learn that foreigners dare not respond?"

"Master, have you forgotten?" Sun Lutang snorted coldly, "I don't know how many bullshits from Russia, Germany, Britain, and the United States have emerged over the years. How many of them have real skills? We don't know how many of them have fought, and how many of them dare to fight?"

"That's right." Li Cunyi echoed and asked, "I heard that Junqing's apprentice was holding a Jingwu Sports Club in Shanghai, and he encouraged him to host it. Is there anything wrong?"

"I have heard of it some, it should be the meaning of forming a group, recruiting disciples, and spreading martial arts." Sun Lutang hesitated.

Li Cunyi nodded and said, "Last month, Mr. Huang Linbiao's disciple Ma Fengtu visited me and talked about the Shanghai Jingwu Sports Association. He wanted me to take the lead and hold a sports association in the north. He said that there has never been a martial arts inheritance in Shanghai and there is a group that popularizes martial arts. How can I fall behind the cradle of martial arts in Cangjin? I thought this is the same. Lu Tang, do you think this matter is feasible?"

Sun Lutang said: "This is good. In the past, we were just one family. Although we had a wide range of branches and leaves, we were inevitably stingy. It is better to gather various sects to popularize martial arts and pass on them personally. In this way, the martial arts style has risen sharply, and we can promote national skills!"

"National Art?" Li Cunyi thought for a few moments and said, "Lu Tang said it well. Our martial arts are always called "Boxing" martial arts, but only by the general name of national arts, it is possible to have a sense of atmosphere!"

"Master, the name of national martial arts was said by Junior Brother Wang." Sun Lutang smiled, "He and Lord Xu told him how to use national martial arts to strengthen the army to save the country. I think it is great. Brother, tell me to Mr. Li. If he is willing, if he raises his arms and shouts, your affairs will be halfway."

Li Cunyi and his disciples all looked at Gao Tai.
