Guozhi led these Hongmen disciples to practice, the right leg of the fist is retracted, the step down is forced up, the punch is withdrawn, the horse step is retracted, the left foot is stepped out, the right leg is bent like a horse step, the left foot is retracted, the horse step is opened, and the punch is continuous, so that the fist is powerful. To the stunned people present, Guozhi stood up to them after retracting his fist, and said, "If you continue to practice like this in the future, your boxing style will naturally be there." I don't know when, Hong Ying stood behind Guozhi and looked up with very admiring eyes, I didn't know that he had such a powerful kung fu, and today I finally opened my eyes.

Hong 13 stepped forward and looked at Guozhi with very satisfied eyes, and nodded constantly. Guozhi turned to face Hong Shisan, and said: "I am not good at learning and art, and I am ugly in front of Master Hong, which is a lot of offense," Guozhi at this time is very modest.

"Master He, where is this, it makes someone Hong ashamed."

At this time, a newsboy knocked on the door and said, "Is Mr. He Guozhi here?" ”

Guozhi stepped forward and said: "He Guozhi is below," After experiencing so many things, Guozhi spoke a lot more calmly and modestly, and he was not as young and vigorous as he was back then, and he was strong and competitive everywhere.

"Here's the newspaper you ordered today."

Guozhi took out a few pennies from his waist and said, "It's hard work." After the newsboy quit, he continued to run around the streets to deliver newspapers. After that, Guozhi stepped forward to face Hong 13 and said, "Master Hong, go back to the room first," Hong 13 just nodded silently. Guozhi slowly walked into his room, and Hong Ying, who was standing next to him, was a little unconvinced, and said, "Why doesn't he even look at me?" ”

"It's not easy for a person to go through so much suffering, give him a little time, and he will get better," Hong 13 turned around and sighed.

When night fell, Hong 13 called Hong Ying into his room and asked, "Cousin, what do you think of this country?" ”

At this time, Hong Ying said a little shyly: "It's okay." ”

"You like him," Hong 13 kept watching Hong Ying's demeanor, and Hong Ying kept his head down and didn't say a word. After that, Hong Shisan deliberately said a sentence to test her, and said, "Don't you mean anything to him?" ”

Hong Ying suddenly raised his head and said, "Cousin, I, I," and said after a while of silence: "I like him, I've always liked him, oops, my little sister will go back to the room first," Hong Ying smiled silently, but ran out of Hong Shisan's room with a blushing face.

Hong 13 looked at Hong Ying's figure running out of his room, and got up and wandered in the room for a while, at this time he may be pondering, Guozhi This person can be literate and martial, but he is a very good person, his cousin can love him and don't know what the situation is on Guozhi's side, so he walked to the door of Guozhi's room, knocked on the door and said, "Master He, have you slept?" ”

A voice came from Guozhi's room, "Master Hong, please come in." Hong 13 pushed open the door and entered the room and said, "Please forgive me for the interruption." ”

"Hong 13 is too polite, but the country is not the rule, Master Hong doesn't have to be like this."

"Master He's words are a little out of sight."

He Guozhi smiled and said, "Master Hong, please take a seat," Guo Zhi sat down after Hong 13 sat down. Hong 13 sat down and looked at the desk next to him and said, "What is Master He busy with?" ”

"I am going to draft an article "On the Essentials of the Reforms of the Past Dynasties", this is the first draft of the next draft, and I also ask Master Hong to take a look at it and see what are still insufficient and need to be changed," Hong Shisan stood up and walked in front of the desk to look at the article on the desk, turned around and said: "I, Hong Shisan, am just a reckless, and I understand what the national righteousness is without reading many books." Master He, tell me, what do you need to do next? ”

"I just want to use the remaining strength to do something for the country and the people, and the emperor is inspired to change the law and try to be strong, so I have some feelings in my heart to write this article. Therefore, I would like to ask Master Hong to contact the newspapers and periodicals in Guangdong to publish this article, so as to encourage the people to save the country and strive for strength, and return the peace and tranquility of the people. ”

"Okay, I'll send my subordinate brothers to inquire more about the newspapers and periodicals in Guangdong, and I don't know what Master He plans to do next?" Guozhi's words were impassioned when he heard him.

"I want to go to Beijing to meet this Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao and others."

Hong 13 stepped forward and sat in front of Guozhi and asked, "When does Master He plan to leave?" ”

"I've been thinking about this matter for a long time, without further ado, I'll set off tomorrow," at this time, the attitude of the country is also very firm, if it is no longer meaningful, it is not good to force anything, and said: "Master He's intention to go is so firm, I don't want to say anything more, I just look forward to the day of reunion with you, you and I will talk again." ”

"Okay, when our country is strong, we will drive out the overseas enemies, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment, and you and I will get together again, and we will come back in the future."

"Okay, the coming day will be long," Hong Shisan was silent at this time, and said for a long time: "I don't know who else is in Master He's family?" Do you have a family? ”

"The family has a high hall alive, the wife and children are at home, and they haven't seen each other for many days since they came out, and they miss each other very much, but the country is about to die, and many children can't take care of their personal feelings."

Hong 13 was shocked after hearing this, and said, "Your Excellency already has a family," Hong 13 heard that Guozhi already had a family and was worried about this matter, and he didn't know how to talk about these things to his cousin.

Guozhi looked at Hong Shisan's appearance of being troubled by this matter, and said, "Master Hong, is there anything wrong with what I said?" ”

Hong 13 pretended to be calm, coughed a few times, and said: "Look, this stupid sister of mine seems to like you, if I hear that you have a family, I am afraid that she will be hit hard and sad, I only have one cousin, treat her like a sister, I can't bear it." ”

"Thank you Master Hong for telling me so frankly, and I immediately wrote a letter to ask her to come to the hospital to tell the truth, what do you think?"

"Well, I'm stupid about these things, so you can say it yourself." Guozhi looked at Hong Shisan and nodded, then got up to send him to the door, Hong Shisan turned around and said, "Master He, go back first, I'll go back to the room by myself," Guozhi still stood in place and looked at the back of Hong Shisan's departure, and only entered his room for a long time and closed the door.

The night was still so quiet, and the breeze blew gently. Guozhi sat alone in the gazebo, looking up at the full moon in the sky, thinking of the old people under the moon, people were strangers in a foreign land, and I didn't know what happened to the people in my hometown. When he was young, Hong Ying stood behind Guozhi, standing quietly behind Guozhi, and said after a long time: "Guozhi, why haven't you fallen asleep so late?" Do you have something to say to me? ”

Guozhi turned to face Hong Ying in front of him and said, "Girl, please sit down." "At this time, the country's governance was very formal, and today it is much more serious than before.

Hong Ying sat down at this time, looked up at Guozhi's serious appearance, and asked, "Is there anything that Guozhi has to invite me here at this time." ”

Guozhi sat next to Hong Ying, looked up at the full moon in the sky, and was silent for a long time before saying, "Your cousin came to the room to look for me." ”

"He's told you all."

"Yes, he told me," Hong Ying shyly avoided her face, and smiled silently, not knowing what she should say at this time, her heart was like a happy flower, and she was stupidly afraid that she would fall into an embarrassing scene.

Guozhi stretched out his hands and turned Hong Ying, looked at Hong Ying's eyes seriously, and said, "You have to listen to me finish speaking." ”

"You say, I'll listen."

"Hong Ying, you are very beautiful, if there is a man in the world who can marry you, it will be his blessing, of course I am the same, but we are fated to have no part, because I already have a family, I am afraid that if you continue like this, it will be your life."

Hong Ying's eyes were full of tears, slowly flowed down, stood up, and said, "Guozhi, you listen to me, what I like is you, not whether you have a family or not," and then turned around and cried and ran back. Guozhi stood up and looked at Hong Ying's back, and shouted, "Hong Ying, Hong Ying." Guozhi wanted to hold Hong Ying with one hand, but he didn't know if he stopped moving forward.

The sky gradually opened, Guozhi packed up his salute and said goodbye to Hong 13 in front of the gate, at the time of parting, Guozhi asked Hong 13: "Master Hong, I don't know how Hong Ying is now?" ”

"Master He, don't worry, she will be fine in a few days."

At this time, Hong Ying hid in his boudoir, looked through the window, and said, "He Guozhi, you stupid," and then sat down again, wiped away the tears on both sides, and cried in front of the dressing mirror: "I will wait for you to come back." ”

Guozhi got on a rickshaw to the Guangzhou Railway Station and boarded a train bound for Beijing.

Late at night, Liang Qichao was quite excited when he saw the article "On the Important Things of the Reform of the Past Dynasties" published by Guozhi, and rushed to Kang Youwei's mansion overnight, and said urgently: "Sir, sir." ”

Kang Youwei walked out of the inner room to the hall and said, "Zhuoru, what is so urgent. ”

"Sir, you come and read this article, it is exciting." Kang Youwei took the newspaper in Liang Qichao's hand, took a look at it, and said, "This article is quite insightful, who is this person?" ”

"This person is He Guozhi, the champion of the Xianfeng period."

"So have you investigated the details of this person?"

"The disciple hasn't yet."

"Let's go check it out."

Guozhi rushed to the capital, and the capital at this time was not as prosperous as before, but it seemed so withered, and the citizens were in shabby clothes, and the people here were miserable. Kokuji walked on this street, his eyes a little wooden, looking up at the gloomy sky, as if it was about to rain. The weather in Beijing gives people an oppressive feeling, as if they are about to suffocate to death, is this a symbol of the country's decline? Ling Guozhi was a little worried about this. Guozhi lowered his head and temporarily stayed in an inn in the eastern suburbs of the capital, which is located in the middle of nowhere, and it is more convenient to inquire about things far away from the city. Guozhi walked into this inn and said, "Shopkeeper, is there any room left?" ”

"Yes, yes, does the guest officer need to go up or down?"

Guozhi weighed the silver taels in his hand, pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go to the room." ”

The shopkeeper stepped forward to hold the lamp for him, and after Kokuji, the stairwell seemed very dark. The shopkeeper said, "Watch your step. ”

"Well, I see, you just need to lead the way."

The two went upstairs to the door, and the shopkeeper came forward and whispered in his ear, "I don't know if I fell in love with the girl near here, the little one will go and summon you." ”

After listening to this, Guozhi was puzzled and asked, "What girl?" ”

"The guest officer must have come from out of town, and he doesn't know anything about the situation here."

"Yes, I'll listen to the store's explanation."
