Dong Haichuan, formerly known as Dong Mingkui, was a native of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty.

He is tall and strong, with slender arms, thick palms, and extraordinary strength, which gives Dong Haichuan a body that practices martial arts. Dong Haichuan practiced martial arts at a young age, and at the age of twenty-six, he was already a master. However, Dong Haichuan was not satisfied with this, he traveled to Wuyue, crossed the river and Anhui, and walked Bashu, covering the north and south of the river.

The places he traveled included the famous mountains and rivers in Hebei, Henan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangxi and other places, and visited the hermits and martial arts masters from all over the country.

Dong Haichuan saw various boxing techniques during this period, laying the foundation for creating Baguazhang in the future.

After Dong Haichuan became famous, his personality remained the same, he was still jealous and hateful, and he often fought unevenly. It is precisely because of this that Dong Haichuan often gets into trouble because of saving people, and finally lives in seclusion in Suwang's Mansion and settles down.

He and Yang Luchan are both stealth palaces, and they are both superb in martial arts.

Among the two, one is proficient in Baguazhang and the other is proficient in Taijiquan, and they are grandmaster-level figures of the two fist schools. After the two fought, they secretly admired each other's martial arts, learned from each other, confirmed each other, came and went, and gradually became friends after getting acquainted.

However, there are differences between the two.

Yang Luchan fought all the martial artists in the capital, known as 'Yang Invincible', and was favored by the Duanjun Palace. After Yang Luchan was over fifty years old, he almost didn't make a move, and Yang Banhou followed Li Zhen into the army and became a general under Li Zhen. The so-called one person ascended to heaven, Yang Banhou worked for Li Zhen, Yang Luchan was also stained, and his status in the Duanjun palace changed, and his status was transcendent.

Dong Haichuan is in his fifties, but he is busy all day long, taking care of the family and nursing home for the Su Wangfu.

Therefore, Yang Luchan thought of taking Dong Haichuan away with him.

Yang Banhou followed behind Yang Luchan and hurried all the way, but saw that he was not heading towards Suwangfu, but out of the city, and hurriedly asked: "Dad, Uncle Dong is in Suwangfu, why do we run out of the city?" ”

Yang Luchan's steps were brisk, and he said with a smile: "Your Uncle Dong is resting today, and he will definitely practice martial arts in the grass house outside the city." That old man must still be practicing boxing, thinking about defeating your father! ”

Yang Banhou said: "According to my son, you are half a catty and eight taels, and no one will lose." ”

Yang Banhou and Yang Luchan were talking and rushed out of the city. Out of the city, he walked towards a hillside to the north of the city. Dong Haichuan lives at the foot of the mountain, with only one thatched hut. When Yang Luchan and Yang Banhou arrived, a burly old man was wearing pants, shirtless, and barefoot, practicing boxing around an old crooked neck tree that was hugged by one person.

This old man is Dong Haichuan.

On a cold day, Dong Haichuan didn't wear clothes, which shows that his body is strong. He regarded the old crooked neck tree standing on the ground as an enemy, and he followed the routine of Baguazhang, constantly moving his hands around the old crooked neck tree to exercise martial arts.

Yang Banhou opened his mouth to speak, but Yang Luchan immediately stretched out his hand to stop him.

At this time, Dong Haichuan's practice had reached the extreme.

I saw Dong Haichuan stepping on the chain of gossip, and every step down, a sound could be heard, and each step corresponded to a hexagram in the I Ching gossip. When his body moved around the old crooked neck tree, the palms in his hands were like butterflies flying, swirling and circling, dazzling.

At this time, hot air began to rise above Dong Haichuan's head, which could be clearly seen.

This is his extreme strength, and the qi and blood around his body are transported quickly, so that the sweat keeps evaporating, and when he encounters the cold air around him, it suddenly becomes a mist.

"Click! Click!! ”

Yang Banhou stood in the distance and clearly heard the sound of Dong Haichuan's muscles rubbing against each other.

With his own eyes, he realized that if he made a move, he would definitely be defeated.

Yang Banhou also practices martial arts all year round, and he has to exercise every day, and he has always thought that he has obtained the true inheritance of Yang Luchan, and even thinks that he and Yang Luchan can compete. After all, he is afraid of being young and strong, and Yang Luchan is old, so he may not be able to win against him. However, now that he watched Dong Haichuan practice martial arts, Yang Banhou knew that it was difficult for him to surpass his old father.

Even though he is in his early fifties, he is still very powerful.

"Drink!"

Suddenly, a loud shout came from Dong Haichuan's mouth.

This loud shout was like a thunderclap.

Yang Luchan stroked his beard under his chin, his gaze swept over Yang Banhou, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile. At this time, Yang Banhou was completely immersed in the situation of Dong Haichuan's martial arts practice. Especially when he saw Dong Haichuan turn into a sword, the breath that came out of his mouth seemed to be an air sword, and he was even more surprised in his heart.

He doesn't have that kind of ability.

Yang Banhou asked, "Daddy, can you reach this point?" ”

Yang Luchan smiled and said, "Almost! ”

Yang Banhou didn't ask anymore, and his eyes fell on Dong Haichuan again. At this time, Dong Haichuan stomped under his feet, his body rushed forward, his thick palm stretched out, and he struck out with one palm.

"Smack!!"

The palm of his hand struck the tree with the crooked neck of the old man, and there was a loud noise.

Under this palm, the old crooked neck tree hugged by one person kept shaking, and the branches hula sounded, as if the human body kept twitching. Yang Banhou has good eyesight, and at the moment when Dong Haichuan closed his hand, he clearly saw that there were distinct palm prints left on the old tree. Seeing this situation, Yang Banhou was shocked in his heart.

Fortunately, this is a big tree hugged by one person, so it can withstand the beating.

If it is replaced by a big tree with a thick arm, I am afraid that it will be one palm and one hand, and it will not be able to withstand Dong Haichuan's boxing skills. Dong Haichuan had already noticed that Yang Luchan's father and son were coming, and after finishing his work, he looked at Yang Luchan and nodded slightly. His gaze fell on Yang Banhou, and he said with a smile: "Yo, isn't this the second young master?" Why did you think of coming to see Uncle Dong today? ”

Yang Banhou is the second son of Yang Luchan and the second in line.

The corners of Yang Banhou's mouth twitched slightly, he didn't dare to be the 'second young master', and immediately said: "Uncle Dong, you are tormenting the juniors. After all these years, you're still so funny. ”

Dong Haichuan laughed, quite proud.

Yang Luchan said with a smile: "Brother Dong, I came today because I want to discuss something with you. ”

Dong Haichuan said simply: "Let's go, talk in the house." ”

The three of them walked towards the hut, which was very rudimentary, with a bed made of hay, a set of old tables and chairs, on which were placed a teapot, four teacups, and nothing else. After the three of them sat down, Dong Haichuan asked: "If there is anything you need help with, as long as you can use my brother's, my brother will not refuse." ”

Yang Luchan shook his head lightly and said, "Brother, I left the Duanjun Palace. ”

Dong Haichuan frowned and said, "Why?" Do you want to go back to your hometown? ”

Yang Luchan shook his head and said, "No, I don't plan to go back to my hometown, I plan to follow the second child to serve Admiral Li." Although I am too old to enlist in the army, I still have a martial art that can teach soldiers to practice martial arts. I came to find my brother because I wanted him to go with me to Admiral Li's army. ”

Dong Haichuan was silent for a moment, thinking carefully.

Yang Luchan continued: "Brother, you and I are both working in the palace, and we both know the affairs of the palace. After so many years, life as a cow and a horse is not easy. Now that the second brother has a status in Li Zhenjun and can speak, with this relationship, let's go and see Li Zhen, what does the elder brother think? ”

Dong Haichuan frowned and said: "Brother Xian, Li Zhen is a commander of one party, and he is powerful, can he succeed?" ”

In fact, Dong Haichuan is also a head of the nursing home in Suwangfu.

Other than that, there is no other identity.

If there is a good place to go, Dong Haichuan is naturally willing. Because Dong Haichuan usually does not have much contact with people, even in the Su Wangfu, he rarely sees Su Wangye, and the people he contacts are all the housekeepers of the Su Wangfu, and he has been doing his own things in obscurity. He was beautiful on the surface, but he understood that he was just a nobody in the Su Wangfu.

Seeing Dong Haichuan hesitating, Yang Banhou interjected and said, "Uncle Dong, it's absolutely no problem for you to see the handsome." Da Shuai is a good talker and has great respect for those who are capable. If you and your father go to meet the commander, you will definitely be able to use it. The little nephew didn't dare to guarantee that Uncle Dong would be promoted to the knighthood, and there would definitely be no problem with mixing up with an official and a half-job. ”

Dong Haichuan asked, "Second brother, what official position do you hold under Admiral Li?" ”

Yang Banhou immediately said: "I am the commander of the first regiment under the command of the commander, and I have two thousand elite soldiers under my command. ”

"Two thousand?"

Dong Haichuan exclaimed in surprise and said in surprise: "My mother, your kid is only more than nineteen years old, less than twenty years old, and he is already a general commanding two thousand people. Speaking of this, Dong Haichuan frowned, blinked again, and asked, "What is the head of the regiment, I haven't heard of it!" ”

Yang Banhou smiled and explained unhurriedly: "The marshal formed a new army, learning the essence of foreigners, not according to the generals, general soldiers and the like. The regimental commander is one of the official positions, which is not much different from the general or something. ”

"Goo-dong!"

Dong Haichuan swallowed his saliva, and was even more surprised.

Dong Haichuan was already moved, but after thinking about it, he asked again: "Second brother, you are the commander of the first regiment, what position do you rank under Admiral Li?"

Yang Banhou scratched his head and said, "This is really hard to answer, because there are still the rest of the civil officials. ”

Dong Haichuan waved his hand and said: "If you don't count civilian officials, you are in the army." ”

Yang Banhou said: "The marshal in the army is supreme, and the person below the marshal is our brigade commander Huang Shihai. Brigade Commander Huang is also a native of the martial arts, a disciple of the 'magic spear' Li Dazhong, and the number two person in the army. Under Brigade Commander Huang, there were five regiment commanders, the commander of the first regiment was me, and the remaining four regiment commanders. Although the five of us are divided according to the first, second, and third, we are all 2,000 people, regardless of size, and the rights are the same. ”

"Shhh Hiss! ”

Dong Haichuan gasped, he didn't expect Yang Banhou to be so powerful.

He praised again and again, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that there would be martial arts practitioners under Admiral Li, this is very good." In fact, the old man also knows Li Dazhong, and he is still the younger generation of me and my virtuous brother. ”

Yang Banhou asked, "Uncle Dong, my father is going to go with me to see the handsome, what do you think?" ”

Dong Haichuan laughed and said: "Of course you want to go, how can you not go to such a good thing?" ”

When Yang Luchan heard this, a smile appeared on his face. Dong Haichuan had very few things, and after packing up, the three of them immediately got up and went to King Su's mansion. Dong Haichuan, like Yang Luchan, is a free body and can leave at any time. After Dong Haichuan and the steward of the Su Wangfu made it clear, they were allowed to leave, and then left with Yang Luchan and his son.

The three of them went to Shangshufu.
