Before the start of school, Li Xiaoning still has one place that he must go, that is, Old Man Guan's house, although he doesn't really want to use the power of the Guan family, and he is also a little bit avoiding Guan Yalin, but just because of the relationship between the two families and the care that Old Man Guan has for him, it is impossible to pass through the door without entering.

Li Xiaoning first went to the antique market and bought a piece of porcelain imitating the official kiln of the Song Dynasty in the late Qing Dynasty, and then took a taxi to Guan's house. When I arrived at Guan's house, I learned that Mr. Guan had been admitted to the Xiangshan Sanatorium because of his poor health.

Xiangshan Sanatorium is a comprehensive institution directly under the central government integrating medical treatment, rehabilitation and recuperation, located at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain in the suburbs of Beijing, surrounded by mountains and lakes, with beautiful scenery and quiet environment, it is a good place for senior leaders to recuperate.

Guan Jianguo couldn't get out of his body because of official business, so he arranged for the secretary to take the car to pick up Li Xiaoning, all the way into the mountain and turned left, and the red walls and green tiles hidden between the green mountains and green waters came into his eyes. The driver was an active-duty soldier, and Guan Jianguo's secretary sat in the passenger seat, he was in his thirties, unsmiling, and his expression was stern.

It is not the armed police who stand guard at the entrance of the sanatorium, but the soldiers of the army. The car stopped in front of the sentry post, and Guan Jianguo's secretary got out of the car to show his pass, and motioned for Li Xiaoning to get out of the car for inspection.

Li Xiaoning knew that this was the security system and necessary procedures, and he did not reject it. He smiled and got out of the car, spread his arms, and let the guards inspect him.

In fact, Li Xiaoning has nothing to check. The soldier skillfully used his eyes and hands, and then waved his hand solemnly, "Come in." On the other side, an officer on duty pressed the red button on the sanatorium's electric door. The closed door slowly opened, revealing the true face of Lushan Mountain in Xiangshan Sanatorium.

Li Xiaoning looked inside, and at the far end were three beige four-story buildings built side by side, and the buildings themselves were plain; At the near end is a small artificial lake, with two rows of weeping willows fluttering in the wind and the ground paved with pebbles, giving the first impression of the whole environment is secluded, like a paradise.

Guan Jianguo's secretary took Li Xiaoning to the Xiangshan Sanatorium, but the car carrying them turned around and galloped down the mountain, but did not enter the courtyard of the sanatorium.

Stepping into the gate of the sanatorium, Guan Jianguo's secretary turned around and looked at Li Xiaoning sternly and whispered, "Comrade Xiaoning, when I see Guan Lao later, there may be several old leaders of the Central Committee. ”

Li Xiaoning sighed and nodded. From beginning to end, he didn't know the man's name, and he didn't bother to ask.

Li Xiaoning followed Guan Jianguo's secretary all the way into a small building and stopped at the door of a conference room on the first floor. The secretary signaled Li Xiaoning again to do what he said, and then knocked respectfully on the door.

"Come in!" A calm, powerful, and slightly bold voice came from the conference room.

The secretary opened the door, Li Xiaoning saw at a glance, saying that the conference room was actually more like a reception room, with a circle of sofas against the wall, and at this moment there were seven or eight old men sitting on the sofa who were different in height, short, fat and thin, but quite imposing, with gentle eyes and sharp eyes, among which there were several military uniforms without military ranks, black leather shoes shiny, sitting upright and straight, obviously old leaders who had retired from the army. Guan Pengju was also among them, but Mr. Guan was wearing civilian clothes.

The secretary smiled and said, "Elder Guan, Comrade Li Xiaoning, I brought you - Comrade Xiao Li, please come in." ”

Li Xiaoning settled down and walked in slowly.

Seven or eight pairs of bright and sharp eyes were projected on Li Xiaoning's body, and Li Xiaoning felt a little pressure and nervousness. These old leaders who have just retired from high positions, and the invisible momentum of the superiors cultivated by controlling power all their lives are almost integrated into their personal temperament, faintly exuding.

Li Xiaoning secretly breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, bowed to the old leaders, and behaved calmly with neither humility nor arrogance. He vaguely felt that today's meeting seemed to be deliberately arranged by Old Man Guan, otherwise how could there be so many people? And still in the conference room? But he couldn't guess the purpose of Old Man Guan's move.

Old Man Guan smiled at Li Xiaoning, "Xiaoning is here." Come, come here. ”

After Li Xiaoning took a few steps forward, Old Man Guan smiled at an old leader with a slightly darker complexion and short hair sitting next to him in a military uniform without military rank, "Comrade Yunpeng, this is what I just said about Li Xiaoning, my grandson-in-law. Haha, a master of internal boxing. ”

This "Comrade Yunpeng" fell into Li Xiaoning's ears, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and subconsciously looked at the old leader carefully. As far as he knows, among the first batch of generals of the Republic, there are only two who are still alive, one is Guan Pengjuguan, the old man, and the other is Zhang Yunpeng, the founding general of the People's Republic of China. Although Mr. Guan is also a general, he was only a lieutenant general when he was awarded the title for the first time, and he was promoted to a general later, while Zhang Yunpeng was a general from the beginning and the founding father of the country.

Zhang Yunpeng is a very legendary person, Li Xiaoning has heard N versions of the story, some say that Zhang Yunpeng is the descendant of the seventy-two stunts of Shaolin Temple, some say that Zhang Yunpeng was fought from Shaolin Temple Muren Alley, and some say that Zhang Yunpeng killed ten Japanese ninjas with his bare hands...... But in any case, Zhang Yunpeng is a kung fu master, which should be true.

Zhang Yunpeng listened to Guan Pengju's words, smiled indifferently, glanced at Li Xiaoning, waved his hand and said, "Comrade Xiao Li - Lao Guan has been full of praise for your internal fist kung fu in front of me, which kung fu are you practicing?" Tai chi? Meaning? Or gossip? ”

"The younger generation studied under Tong Xihu and learned Xingyi Boxing." Li Xiaoning said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Tong Xihu?" Zhang Yunpeng frowned and thought for a while and said, "I haven't heard of it." ”

Li Xiaoning smiled slightly and said: "The master of the younger generation is just an ordinary farmer, and it is natural that Zhang Lao has not heard of it. And the younger generation and the master have only learned some skins, and they don't dare to say what kind of master they are, grandpa is bragging for me. ”

Zhang Yunpeng raised his hand and waved it and said, "Young man, don't be modest. Peng Ju is a person with a high vision, since he dares to say in front of me that you are a master, then you must have real kung fu. These days, there are not many people with real kung fu on my body, and what he said is a little lively in my mind. Let's go to the playground, you can practice boxing first to open our eyes. ”

As soon as Zhang Yunpeng's voice fell, several other old leaders also echoed him.

Old Man Guan smiled loudly, "Xiaoning, don't be nervous, Comrade Yun Peng is going to test you - he is an authentic Shaolin disciple, and he tells us every day that the world's kung fu is out of Shaolin, I told him that you are a master of internal boxing, and he is sure that he is not convinced." Let's take a walk, practice boxing first, and let Comrade Yunpeng know what it means to have someone outside the mountain! ”

Several of the old leaders burst out laughing.

Zhang Yunpeng's face was solemn, and he coughed dryly twice, "Play the piano randomly!" Can I be discouraged with a child? However, if it's a mule or a horse, it has to be pulled out for a walk! ”

After speaking, Zhang Yunpeng glanced at Li Xiaoning and strode away, going like the wind.

On the green space in front of the building, some staff had already set up audio equipment, and some medical staff of the nursing home and the secretaries and guards of the old leaders also came out of the building, standing respectfully behind the old leaders such as Mr. Guan and Zhang Yunpeng, looking Li Xiaoning up and down.

Li Xiaoning jumped into the arena with an arrow, first hugged his fists to the old leaders as a salute, and then signaled the music to start.

The long body is jade, the body is straight, holding his breath and concentrating, not moving like a mountain, and making an opening gesture.

Several old leaders on the lookers exchanged an approving look with each other, and with this calm momentum alone, it can be seen that this young man has an extremely deep foundation in Xingyi Boxing.

The melody of the music is wafting on the field, Li Xiaoning is either as fast as a storm or as if a gentle breeze with the rhythm of the music, his movements are stretched and elegant, moving and pushing, and he is hearty with his fists.

What he practiced was not the general kind of soft routine, but the authentic Xingyi boxing that he had been immersed in for many years, which had both ornamental and practical value, and brought a strong sensory impact to the old leaders: the original inner boxing can also be played like this, and the original internal boxing can also be used, and the tiger is vigorous!

"Good! Good! Old Man Guan applauded first, and then Zhang Yunpeng.

When the old leaders applauded, the staff behind them applauded enthusiastically. Wonderful, really wonderful. No one thought that Neijiaquan, who has always been known for its femininity and slowness, could be practiced into such a well-founded Cheng dù who is both offensive and defensive.

The old leaders are knowledgeable, although they don't all know martial arts, but the old people have nothing to do and play Taijiquan, with their identity, there is no shortage of real Taijiquan masters among the coaches. The so-called Tai Chi Masters in the capital alone have come to the sanatorium to give them counseling.

Zhang Yunpeng was happy when he saw Hunting, and took the initiative to get off the field and asked to practice with Li Xiaoning.

Old Man Guan laughed and said, "Xiaoning, our Comrade Yunpeng is itching - you can practice with him once, but that's it." ”

Zhang Yunpeng smiled heartily, "Come, Comrade Xiao Li, let's make a move!" ”

Li Xiaoning hesitated for a moment, and said with a respectful smile, "Old Zhang, I am a fist embroidered leg, if I really want to move the real character, I can't do it, and I ask the old leader's subordinates to be merciful and save some face for the younger generations!" ”

Li Xiaoning is actually reluctant to fight Zhang Yunpeng. Not only because of who they are, but also because of their age. Don't look at Zhang Yunpeng, who is full of energy, but he is also an old man in his nineties, although he used to be a master, but he is afraid of being less strong, in case there is a mistake, how can he afford it.

"Don't look at the old man's age, but if you really want to make a move, you may not be an opponent, come, make a move!" Zhang Yunpeng put on a posture.

Li Xiaoning smiled helplessly, so he had to step forward and start a dismantling with Zhang Yunpeng.
