Gao Tai and Sun Lutang took the train back to Beijing overnight.

It was dawn when they left the station. The two of them walked back to Xu's mansion quickly, and after washing and eating, they asked to see Xu Shichang.

At this time, Xu Shichang had just returned home from court and was rubbing his eyes to rest. Now the imperial court was gradually weak in control. The rebels and famous parties continued to revolt in the south, Japan and Russia were eroding step by step, and the bandits and horse thieves in the Central Plains provinces were becoming increasingly rampant. Every day he faced a big old empire full of holes, which made him feel powerless.

When the servant heard the report that Sun Lutang and the others had returned, Xu Shichang hurriedly ordered them to come in.

After a while, Gao Tai and Sun Lutang walked into the main hall, and Xu Shichang stood up to greet him, "Mr. Wang and Master Sun are back? What's going on? That Russian strongman was killed?"

After Sun Lutang gave the ceremony, he explained the matter in detail. Xu Shichang sighed: "Oh! It's a pity that our country will be defeated in every battle for many years. All the nobles in the field will be afraid of foreign countries when they hear about it. Tianjin handled this matter very much."

Sun Lutang then said that foreigners were published in the newspaper to praise the martial arts world in the capital and belittled the martial arts world in Tianjin, causing the two places to fight. Xu Shichang snorted coldly: "The foreigners' methods this time are not bad. How should Master Sun deal with it?"

"What can I do?" Sun Lutang shook his head, pointed at Gao Tai, and said, "Junior Brother Wang has a clever plan..."

When Sun Lutang said Gao Tai’s plan, Xu Shichang’s face remained unchanged and nodded, “Mr. Wang’s actions will indeed receive miraculous results. The leader of the alliance is just a name. The court must control the martial arts conference. If I support it, Mr. Wang will not be the leader or a member, and he will also be the leader. If I don’t support it, no matter who becomes the leader, it will be a clay sculpture, keep it if you are obedient, and take it away at any time if you are not obedient!"

Sun Lutang was stunned when he heard this. Only then did he truly understand the power of the people in power, that is, those who do not have enough work harder than others.

Gao Tai had long known whether the martial arts conference could be completed and whether many things could be implemented after it was completed were not on himself or on his fellow martial arts. The key was Xu Shichang and the Qing court he could promote. As long as they were willing to use the martial arts conference to do things, their own goals could be achieved.

"Thank you, Lord Xu!" Gao Tai bowed and asked, "I wonder when will I ask for an order?"

At the end of April, the weather in Beijing began to get hotter. Xu Shichang took out his hand towel to wipe the sweat on his forehead, took off his coat, and only wore his inner clothes, and said, "The Regent has agreed. I will talk to Prince Su tomorrow. I will be able to issue an order in two days! I was still preparing you as a fifth-grade second-class guard, so I can be the leader of the martial arts conference with just a legitimate reason. I didn't expect you to recommend it by the martial arts world by yourself, which is a waste of time."

After talking about the martial arts conference, Xu Shichang talked to Gao Tai about the promotion of education and education in the court. Gao Tai proposed not only to run universities, but also to run free primary schools, popularize cultural and literary texts, promote the physics, chemistry and geometry of the basic Western learning, and reduce illiteracy in China. Only when culture is prosperous and talents emerge naturally can the country have development potential.

After hearing this, Xu Shichang applauded and said, "This method is very good. Five years ago, Weiting ordered all localities to host primary schools. Unfortunately, it is mainly taught the Four Books, and the effect is not good. You said that you can promote basic texts, facts and Western science education, so that all localities can set up free primary schools. It's great! Unfortunately, it costs money. I'm afraid that it can be done in addition to Beijing, Tianjin, Zhili, that is, Shanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhou and Huguang, but other places are afraid that they will not be able to do it!"

...

When Gao Tai and Xu Shichang finished talking, he pulled Sun Lutang to study boxing and gunship. He had to make some preparations for the future martial arts conference.

External boxing is similar to Western martial arts, and is a kung fu that exercises and strengthens the body. If a martial artist only practices external kung fu, it is okay to be in his prime. After he is forty or fifty, he will most likely show hidden injuries to his muscles and bones when he practices when he is young. At the very least, his skill will be reduced, and at the worst, he will be disabled.

However, internal kung fu originated from the internal alchemy practiced by Taoism after the Song Dynasty. Combined with boxing, palm and martial arts, and standing in a stance to shake qi and blood to regulate the body, it can prolong life.

If you practice internal martial arts to a profound state, "the whole body is connected to the same place and you will do whatever you want", you can explode the whole body's strength into the fists and feet when you take action. Although the body's strength is not very strong, it can burst out several times of the strength.

This is why the dark power masters usually hurt people's lives by taking action.

However, although the dark energy is powerful, it also consumes great physical strength. If it is dragged for a long time, the qi and blood will boil and turn into sweat along the pores and flow out. Therefore, as long as the dark energy master sweats, it will be a time to consume physical energy and be a little difficult to deal with.

Shang Yunxiang and Huo Diange are very different from the Russian strongman Pulini in terms of height, weight and strength, but they can tie or even win with Pulini because of their dark power that can explode. If Chinese martial arts do not have the means of bursting beyond physical fitness, how can they defeat strong enemies? Isn’t it better to divide the level of masters according to their weight like later generations?

Gao Tai's secret martial arts are really good now, his gunshots and boxing skills have reached their peak, and his body is in his best thirties. According to Sun Lutang, the two of them have not had much difference in strength. If they really do it, the difference is experience and temporary reactions.

When Gao Tai was competing with Sun Lutang, he could feel that he integrated Xingyiquan and Baguazhang and practiced to a very profound state. If he had not relied on the Five Tigers Soul-breaking Gun to improve his boxing skills, and also absorbed the characteristics of Xingyiquan, Baguazhang, and check boxing, he would have been afraid that he would not be able to win or lose even if he had not had a few moves. He would have been the same as when the two of them had just met, and they would have lost in just a few moves.

Gaotai has a top master who works as a sparring master, and his martial arts have improved every day, which has doubled his confidence.

One day, when Gao Tai and Sun Lutang were chatting about boxing scriptures, they remembered the three levels of "ming power, hidden power, and transforming power" in internal martial arts. After discussing with Sun Lutang, Gao Tai realized that the so-called "transforming power" is actually still hidden power, but because they practiced the hidden power to the supreme state of "if you want to come out, you will be locked, you will be locked", "there is no place in the body that cannot be exerted" and "the leaves all over the body will not stick to the falling snow when exercising the exercise", and then they are considered a master at this time.

After asking Sun Lutang, he knew that except for Master Guo Yunshen, no younger disciples could practice Xingyiquan to the level of Huajin. Gao Tai remembered that Sun Lutang would practice Tai Chi in the future, and then integrate the essence of the three internal martial arts into one, and finally created the original "Sun Tai Chi". I believe that he should have practiced Huajin at that time.

"Senior Brother Sun, you are practicing check boxing now. The red boxing has entered the room. The Xingyi Bagua of this sect is also unfathomable. I think you are only one layer of window paper from the transformation of strength!" Gao Tai pondered for a while and suggested, "You might as well learn Tai Chi with softness and hardness. Perhaps it will be a road!"

Sun Lutang's eyes flashed and he said, "Junior Brother Wang really reminded me! Last year, when I first arrived in Beijing, I met a friend brother. His name was Yang Chengfu, who was the grandson of Duke Lu Chan. He was three or two years younger than you, but Yang's Tai Chi was really good. I wanted to take his father as his teacher, but his father did not accept disciples. Brother Chengfu said at that time that he had a master named Hao, and his Tai Chi skills were extraordinary. Unfortunately, Mr. Hao was not in the capital at that time, so he missed it.

Your words reminded me that I will go to Yang Chengfu now to see if I still have no chance to learn from my master!"

After Sun Lutang finished speaking, he went out excitedly, while Gao Tai continued to practice martial arts at home.

It was not until the evening that Sun Lutang came back and said with great spirit: "Junior Brother Wang, Master Hao is visiting the Yang family. I am a disciple today. Master Hao asked me to go tomorrow and I want to pass on my Tai Chi essence."

"Congratulations to Senior Brother Sun!" Gao Tai bowed and congratulated.

The two brothers were talking, but when Xu Shichang sent someone to summon him, Sun Lutang smiled and said, "Junior Brother Wang, your good deeds have come!"

Gao Tai hurried over and arrived at the main hall. Sure enough, he saw Xu Shichang wearing an official uniform, a red head, and a eunuch with a hunchbacked waist.

"This is Wang Sansheng." Xu Shichang introduced to the eunuch.

The eunuch looked at Ji Lao and smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, can our family pass the imperial edict?"

Seeing that the servants had arranged the incense table and laid a cushion, Xu Shichang approached and stuffed a silver note and said with a smile: "Please send an order to Eunuch Li!"

Eunuch Li took out a roll of yellow scroll from the yellow brocade box held by the little eunuch behind him with both hands, and pulled his sharp voice and said, "Transfer the order! Xu Shichang, Minister of Military Affairs and Grand Secretary of Tiren Pavilion, will accept the order on behalf of my king Sansheng!"

Xu Shichang pulled Wang Sansheng in front of the incense table, knelt down and kowtowed, shouting long live the mountain.

"The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun ordered: The warriors were in rebellion, and because they were uncontrollably, they ordered Xu Shichang to be the governor of the martial arts world, establish the National Wulin Tongmenghui, control the martial arts worlds of various provinces and governments, spread martial arts widely, and make the people respect martial arts, so as to resist foreign foreign religions, and assist me in the three kings. I respect this!"

After reading the imperial edict, Eunuch Li took a breath and handed the Huang Jin scroll to Xu Shichang, saying, "We haven't read the imperial edict for many years. We are so old that we almost broke down."

"I am so angry when I hear my father-in-law." Xu Shichang took it with a smile and said with a smile.

"Mr. Xu is just educated. We have to go back first." Eunuch Li said goodbye with a smile.

Xu Shichang handed the imperial edict to Shutong and asked him to hold it away. Then he looked at Gao Tai and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, the martial arts alliance has become. If you don't directly serve as the leader of the alliance, I will have a false position of the fourth-grade agency and let you name it in the imperial edict. If the martial arts competition fails, your level is enough. I can also appoint you as the martial arts general and control the alliance leader. At that time, will the martial arts alliance be finalized?!"

"Hey! Lord Xu is Gao Ming!" Gao Tai exclaimed and said in his heart: No wonder he was called "Crystal Fox".
Chapter completed!
