After Gong Ren and Tang Qingying returned to Guangzhou, they had not rested for a few days, and received an order from the headquarters of the League to immediately rush to Chaozhou to assist Xu Xueqiu, the leader of the triad, in launching the Chaozhou uprising.

Xu Xueqiu, born in 1875, grew up in a family of wealthy overseas Chinese businessmen in Singapore, was influenced by friends and obeyed Sun Yat-sen's nationalist theories. In 1905, in the name of contracting the Chaoshan Railway, he planned to recruit workers and revolted in Chaozhou. After the incident, because the same person was arrested, he went to Haiyang County to surrender, and strongly argued that he was wronged, and the county order released him on the grounds that "the rich son Ning had this matter". In 1906, Xu Xueqiu joined the League in Singapore and was appointed by Sun Yat-sen as the governor of the Eastern Army of the Chinese Revolutionary Army.

Gong Ren rode a jujube red horse, Tang Qingying rode a big white horse, the horse's hooves were up to da, like arrows and shuttles, flying like galloping on the rugged mountain road, mountain after mountain, green trees, slowly turning to the back. They knew that tomorrow, February 19, 1907 (the seventh day of the first lunar month), the triad gathered its members, took advantage of the unpreparedness of the Qing army, suddenly revolted, attacked from inside and outside, and attacked Chaozhou City. Then use this as a flashpoint to prompt uprisings in Huanggang, Huilai, Fengshun and other places, so that Guangdong will form a trend of burning the plains, and if Guangdong recovers, it can use this as a base to launch a large-scale northern expedition.

The male on the horse was in black clothes and black pants, carrying a big knife on his shoulder, a short gun in his waist, an old beard, and a tired face. Tang Qingying is in red clothes and red pants, with a scimitar on the left side of the military belt, a short gun on the right side, a red hat on her head, and her black braid floats back, her face is white and red, which is different, and she looks more handsome and vibrant.

Gong Ren touched the horse's neck, and the horse's neck was wet, and a layer of fine beads of sweat had already appeared. Gong Ren said sadly: "Baby, you just work hard, we have a task." Jujube Red Horse blinked his big eyes, seemed to understand the meaning of Gong Ren, and ran even harder.

Two days ago, when Gong Ren and Tang Qingying accepted the task, Gong Ren was in a dilemma for a while, the distance from Guangzhou to Chaozhou Mansion is more than 1,000 miles, and there are many small roads and mountain roads, how can they reach it in two days? Lao Li on the organ asked Gong Ren if he could ride a horse, and Gong Ren and Tang Qingying both shook their heads.

There is a lot of water in the south, and although they have been fighting for many years, Gong Ren and Tang Qingying are either on foot or in a carriage, and they really haven't ridden a horse yet. Tang Qingying pursed her lips and said: "What's so difficult about riding a horse, when anyone has a big girl sitting in a sedan chair once, with my skills, I can ensure that I can learn it." ”

Gong Ren laughed at her and said, "You don't care if you can do it or not, just pick the big blow." But Gong Ren thought, how can you reach Chaozhou within two days without riding a horse, and the dead horse should be used as a live horse doctor, so Tang Qingying, who had to bite the bullet and look excited, followed Lao Li to the stable on the organ to select horses.

When they arrived at the stable, more than a dozen horses were grazing leisurely, and when they saw a living person and Lao Li coming in, a jujube red horse stopped grazing, shook its head, and immediately neighed.

Lao Li said: "This horse is very angry, it is happy to see me!" ”

Gong Ren saw that the jujube red horse had a tall skeleton, thin and straight ankles, a broad chest with bulging tendons, and a jujube red fur shining like satin, and its bright eyes seemed to be carefully looking at Gong Ren. Gongren seemed to have a sense of induction, and immediately built a bridge with Zao Hongma's heart, and there was a commotion in his heart, and he immediately liked it.

Gong Ren couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it, the jujube red horse immediately raised his head, straightened the stiff rope that tied it, squatted down, and the "horn" on the ground with four hooves sounded wildly, not letting Gong Ren get close at all.

Lao Li said: "You can't drink hot sticky porridge in a hurry, you have to slowly cultivate a relationship with it, and it's the same as making friends with people." So saying, he grabbed a handful of grass and put it on the horse's mouth, and the horse immediately began to chew it with great gusto.

Gong Ren also grabbed a handful of grass and approached the horse's mouth, the jujube red horse sniffed, rubbed it with his mouth, shook his head, hesitated for a while, and then slowly ate the fine grass handed over by Gong Ren.

Lao Li untied the reins of the horse and said, "Let's go, let's go walk the horse." Don't underestimate horse walking, it's an important step in developing a bond with a horse. Tang Qingying fell in love with a big white horse at this time, and she also learned from the two of them, slowly cultivating feelings with the horse.

Lao Li also taught the two of them how to saddle a horse, how to ride a horse, how to condition a horse, and all kinds of knowledge about horses, Gong Ren and Tang Qingying kept these words firmly in their hearts.

During the two days of galloping, not only were the horses tired, but the people were even more tired, and they only felt that the bones in their bodies were about to fall apart. But Gong Ren and Tang Qingying still got up at night, took a look at their war horse, added some forage to it, gently stroked it, said some words of encouragement to it, and regarded the horse as their own legs and a part of their own body. And once the horse recognized his master, he regarded him as his own god, and devoted his body and mind, and his whole life to him......

The sky was dark, and the air pressure was getting deeper and lower, because the fast horse was galloping, and I felt that the warm and humid wind in front of me had a lot of overwhelming force. Gong Ren wiped his sweat and muttered: "This is February, it shouldn't be so hot, don't rain tonight, it will be troublesome if it rains." ”

Tang Qingying also wiped the sweat on her head and said, "It's okay to rain lightly, but don't rain heavily." Gongren said: "This Guangdong is different from Hunan and Jiangxi, it is still snowing there, but I didn't expect it to be so hot here." Tang Qingying mocked him and said: "You, a Cantonese person, are afraid of heat, and I, a Hubei person, can't stand it." Brother Gongren, when you arrived in Guangzhou, did you find Sister Xipin? ”

Gong Ren sighed and said, "Hey-don't mention it, the twine can't be lifted through tofu." Tang Qingying asked again: "Why can't you mention it?" Gong Ren was reluctant to mention this to the child, so he coped and said, "Why do children know so many things? You, you should care more about the words I taught you, but don't delay your studies. Tang Qingying muttered dissatisfiedly: "You always say that I am small, small, I have grown up." Seeing that you have gone to those smelly places, I am not happy! ”

Gong Ren sighed, feeling a tingling in his heart. It's been another 7 years since I left Xipin, and the first thing I did when I returned to Guangzhou was to look for Xipin's whereabouts everywhere. I can't sleep at night when I can't see Xipin, but once I see Xipin, what will I say when I see her? It's really God who is also against him everywhere, and he doesn't have the ability to rescue her from the fire pit in the Red Gold Building, this hateful old bustard, I don't know where to sell her......

In those days, Gong Ren lingered at the door of the Hongjin Mansion for a long time, and looked out from the room where Xipin once lived for a long time......

Gong Ren tried his best to eliminate these selfish distractions, wanting to concentrate his energy, now that the big war is imminent, there may be a bloody battle soon, how can he do it if he doesn't concentrate a hundred times his energy. Thinking of this, Gong Ren clamped the horse's belly with his legs and whipped the horse's buttocks, and a light-colored whip mark immediately rose on the horse's buttocks. The red horse was stimulated by this, neighed, and jumped forward a long way.

The two of them talked and pulled, and galloped across a long dirt road and two hills, and came to the Xiangzi Bridge outside the east gate of Chaozhou Mansion. Looking at it from a distance, there were five or six people leading the horses on the bridge, Gong Ren didn't recognize Xu Xueqiu, so he had to get off the horse and lead the horse to walk slowly past these people.

Through the dark night, Gong Ren squinted his eyes and quietly observed these people, and found that there was a middle-aged man among them, with a fair face and a calm appearance. There were a few people next to him who seemed to be his entourage, leaning close to his side.

When Gong Ren looked at them, he found that those people were also quietly observing him. When Tang Qingying walked over, she deliberately rubbed the middle-aged man, but the middle-aged man didn't say anything.

Gong Ren and Tang Qingying walked to the side of the bridge and came back. Gong Ren thought, no matter what, I have to try their details, and the time is already quite short. Gong Ren patted the horse's neck, handed the reins of the horse to Tang Qingying, and said to Tang Qingying: "Get ready, if you can't do it, just do it." I'm going to touch it? ”

Tang Qingying nodded knowingly, and rode back on the horse, holding the stiff ropes of the two horses with one hand, and touching the short spear and scimitar in his waist with the other, and followed behind Gong Ren not far away. Zao Hongma also seems to have a good heart, full of energy, high morale, and seems to be about to meet a big battle.

Gong Ren slowly walked up to the group, and brushed his eyebrows with his right hand very naturally, and the middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, and also brushed his eyebrows with his right hand. As soon as Gong Ren saw that there was a door, he took another step forward with his left foot sideways, and the man also took a step forward with his left foot sideways.

Gong Ren was overjoyed in his heart, and went up to ask, "Where does you come from?" The man replied, "From the south." Gong Ren asked again: "Where are you going?" The man replied, "Go north." Gong Ren asked, "Who is your friend?" The man replied, "Lu Haodong, Shi Jianru." ”

Gong Ren was excited in his heart, and hurriedly went up, held his hand enthusiastically and said, "My name is Gong Ren, may I ask-" The man also said happily: "I have heard the name for a long time, and it is snowing in the autumn." Gong Ren happily shook his hand and said, "It turned out to be the Governor of the Eastern Army, not Gong Ren, who was appointed by the Alliance and was willing to serve under the Governor." Then he introduced Tang Qingying and said: "This is my brother-in-law Tang Qingying." ”

Tang Qingying also hurriedly dismounted, arched his hand and said, "Meet Governor Xu Xueqiu." Xu Xueqiu patted Tang Qingying's shoulder, and said with a smile: "I have heard of the name for a long time, I have long heard that the two of you are a wonderful partner with one article and one martial arts, fortunately!" Fortunately! ”

Xu Xueqiu introduced several other young people, Xie Liangmu and Fang Ruilin. He looked at the young and heroic Tang Qingying, and praised him: "In the future, it will be the world of you young people, especially this young man, who is young and handsome, and has a beautiful appearance, he is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he is still a child." ”

Tang Qingying pouted and said: "The column is not thick and can top a thousand catties, although the diamond diamond is small and can drill porcelain, the onion is not big and grows on the generation (ridge), I am a veteran for more than ten years, and I have fought ten times and eight times in the big battle." Xu Xueqiu laughed and said: "Talented, rare!" Rare! ”

Gong Ren and Tang Qingying untied the horse's belly belt for the war horse, tied the horse stiff rope to one of the horse's legs, let the horse rest, and eat some grass by the way. The two horses' heads arched on the ground, sniffing everywhere, looking for tender grass to eat.

While talking about friendship and military affairs, everyone looked east in the direction of Fushan, hoping that the rebels from all walks of life would arrive quickly. Xu Xueqiu kept taking out a pocket watch from his arms, asked Xie Liangmu to start the flint, burn a piece of fire paper, check the time, and muttered: "It's more than 1 o'clock now, and it's supposed to be here, why hasn't there been any movement yet......"

The wind rose, and the north wind came up first and blew in bursts, carrying bursts of cool air. Gong Ren and Tang Qingying only felt that the hot sweat on their bodies was gone for a while, their clothes were thin, and their bodies were so empty and cold. Xu Xueqiu shrank and wrapped her thin clothes tightly, feeling that her body was indeed very cold.

The wind blew more and more tightly, and the cold wind carried the smell of rain, which made it almost impossible to stand, and suddenly, a few lightning bolts streaked through the distant sky, and a faint thunder was heard, but the wind suddenly stopped.

The air was even more dreary, and the gray-black sky seemed to be splashed with a layer of thick ink, and it was difficult to see the five fingers when you stretched out your hand. Even Tang Qingying, who has always been brave, couldn't help but hold Gong Ren's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that Gong Ren would abandon her.

The red horse and the big white horse were clinging to each other, their ears turning alertly, catching the small sounds around them, and their big eyes scanning everything around them alertly. A few young men secretly cursed the bad weather, and after a while they didn't bother to speak, as if all birds, beasts, mountains, and fields were dead, and the silence of heaven and earth was suffocating.

Suddenly, a bright thunderclap flashed overhead, and then the thunder of "quack-la-la-la-" almost deafened the ears of several people. A large tree next to it "soared" into a fire, which was struck by lightning. The jujube red horse couldn't help this strong stimulation, and suddenly squatted on his buttocks, his two front legs were in the air, and his two hind legs stood upright, looking up at the sky, his mane stood up, and he let out a long hissing of "Boom-", and several other war horses, their footsteps were chaotic, and the horse's hooves stepped on the ground for a while.

"Wow-" The rain poured down like a scoop, and several people held on to the reins of their horses tightly and leaned against each other. There was no rain gear, not even a hat, some with their eyes open, some with their eyes closed, and let the heavy rain wash their hearts from head to toe.

The fire on the tree was fiercely fighting against the torrential rain, and the clash between fire and water made a "zilala--" sound, and a white mist was raised, and the white mist was quickly dispersed by the rain that poured down, and the rain became heavier and heavier, and the fire became smaller and smaller, and finally a spark flashed, and the spark disappeared after a while.

With the help of lightning one after another, Xu Xueqiu looked at the time on the pocket watch anxiously from time to time, and Gong Ren leaned over to the pocket watch to see that the hour hand had pointed to 2 o'clock. At this time, under the bridge not far away, the sound of gurgling water has long turned into the sound of surging waves, and the low place near the bridgehead has also become a river, which has long become a world of water.

Gong Ren approached Xu Xueqiu's face and said, "Xu Dudu, what do you say?" Xu Xueqiu shook his head and said: "The order has been given, we can't miss this morning, if we miss this morning, all the efforts we have made have been done in vain, especially the large number of internal work in Chaozhou City has been done in vain." But I don't know why they haven't come yet? ”

Gong Ren sighed and said, "With such a heavy rain, they must have to delay." Xu Xueqiu shouted and said, "That's not good! Military orders are like mountains, opportunities are rare, if you don't raise them at this time, when will you raise them again? Gong Ren said: "Then I'll just run and urge it, right?" ”

Xu Xueqiu thought about it for a while, patted Gongren's shoulder and said, "Brother Gongren, let's work hard!" Follow this road until you reach the floating mountain. Seeing them, no matter what, let them overcome the difficulties and come to the uprising quickly. If you miss this opportunity, it will be too late to regret it. ”

Gong Ren nodded and said, "I understand." ”
