When Gao Tai finished his communication with Zaifeng, he issued another imperial edict on behalf of the Wulin Governor's Office as the president of the Wulin Tongmenghui, which included the decrees of fifteen masters including Sun Lutang, Li Shuwen, Huo Yuanjia, and some decrees to grant officials and gold and silver.

Everyone knelt down and received the order, and then a eunuch came up to the official uniform and red-topped clothes.

At this time, the sun was setting, and the sky was dark. Zaifeng ordered a banquet. Everyone entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony, where he was already holding the lamp. He arranged more than ten tables of flowers and wine and dishes in his highness. Zaifeng and the princes and nobles, and the elders of various tribes sat down on the upper head. On the other side were the ministers of various countries, and Gao Tai and others were the last seat.

After drinking and eating, Gao Tai led the thirteen masters and Liu San. Chen Buyan walked out of the palace. Gong Baotian stayed in the Great Inner to rest because he wanted to rest after his arm was boned. Gao Tai thought that he would be more responsible for the Great Inner Guard.

After leaving the Meridian Gate, more than a dozen martial arts masters and accompanying people from various provinces hurriedly came over to inquire about the results. When they learned that Wang Sansheng had become the leader, they discussed it, and then many people walked out to congratulate Gao Tai.

Gao Tai was neither arrogant nor arrogant, and he gave gifts one by one with kindness.

When the chaos passed, people from the Beijing-Tianjin Zhili, including Zhang Ce, Shang Yunxiang, Wang Ziping, Han Muxia and other fifteen masters, came forward with a happy look on their faces.

"Sir, I will all listen to your orders in the future. If you benefit my martial arts world, please give me any orders!" Zhang Ce said with a smile.

Gao Tai returned the courtesy and said, "You are kind to you, it's not too early today. I'd like to ask you to go to the Wulin Governor's Office tomorrow. Let's discuss the major events in the martial arts world together!"

After the people in the martial arts world in Zhili, Beijing, Tianjin and Tianjin all dispersed. Du Xinwu stepped forward and said, "Princess Wang, I wonder what your plans will be for the martial arts world alliance?"

"Of course, it's a group of people who work together, and everyone is getting fire and fire." Gao Tai heard that Du Xinwu was worried that he only wanted to dominate the martial arts world, so he said.

Du Xinwu nodded this time and said, "In this way, I am willing to serve. I will definitely come to the yamen to Yingmao tomorrow."

Seeing that Su Can had just drunk a lot of imperial wine and was already lying on the ground and sleeping soundly, Huang Feihong hurriedly ordered Lin Shirong to take care of Mr. Su, and then he stepped forward to salute and said, "Leader Huang, who lives in Guangdong for a long time, is afraid that he will not be able to work in the capital. I don't know what he wants?"

Gao Tai smiled and said, "Brother Huang is straightforward. Our Wulin Tongmenghui is not an institution. We still focus on the honor, disgrace, rise and fall of the martial arts world. I have some ideas and plans to ask everyone to help each other. I also ask Master Huang and his disciples and fellow Guangdong colleagues to go to the yamen tomorrow. Let's discuss this matter. At that time, Brother Huang can speak freely. Even if there is arranging affairs, I will never force you if Brother Huang has any thoughts."

Huang Feihong bowed and said, "So, see you tomorrow!"

Gao Tai saw that there were only three or four people left in the venue. He was about to speak, but when he saw Li Shuwen smiled and left with his apprentice Huo Diange.

Lu Lao Nian bowed and said, "I, Lao Lu, came to Beijing to find friends. I have learned a lot of things in the past few days. I won't cause trouble with Alliance Leader Wang!"

After saying that, Lu Lao Nian was about to turn around and leave. Gao Tai signaled Sha Zilong beside him, Sun Lutang and Huo Yuanjia, and then quickly caught up with Lu Lao Nian and said politely: "Lao Lu! You may have ulterior motives when you come to Beijing, right?"

Since Lu Lao Nian suddenly appeared three days ago, Xu Shichang sent someone to investigate, but there was no such person in the world, and there was no such person in the martial arts masters in Shandong. At that time, Xu Shichang and Gao Tai concluded that this person was using a fake name, and most of them were criminals.

When Lu Lao Nian heard this, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Gao Tai with caution, saying, "What do you mean?"

Gao Tai coughed lightly, lowered his head and said, "I know you are using a pseudonym, and I know you should have a criminal record. However, since I have become the president of the Wulin Tongmenghui, I will naturally protect the interests of our martial arts people. You have great martial arts skills and are generous and happy. Why not work with me to manage the situation, promote Chinese martial arts, and leave a name in history?"

Lu Lao Nian's face was gloomy and calm, and finally sighed: "Forget it! Master Wang, since you treat me sincerely, I will tell you, my real name is Qu Shiwen. I resisted taxes and donations in my hometown, and killed several corrupt officials and evil gentry. According to the court's wishes, I have committed the crime of killing officials and rebelling. I failed three months ago. I heard that the martial arts conference was like going to Beijing to meet fellow workers and holding some people. How do I do things with you?!"

Although people in the martial arts world are different from scholars, they have the same distinction, that is, the fame in the circle. As a class, one must be consistent with the interests of the class. In addition to being ruined, the end of a death without a burial place.

Therefore, the literati of the Ming and Qing dynasties stood on the standpoint of their own literati, using feudal ethics as a big stick to defeat the people and bluffed the kings, so as to achieve the situation where all the wise men came, the emperor stood up to rule the world together.

Shilin's basic belief is Confucianism and rationality, while Wulin's basic belief is benevolence, righteousness and courage. Qu Shiwen dared to tell Gao Tai about his true situation, and he concluded that he would not dare to sell himself, because that would make him, the leader of the martial arts world, become a joke.

Gao Tai was already unfaithful to the Qing Dynasty. He knew that Qu Shiwen was a hero who killed officials and rebelled, but was not surprised but happy. After thinking about it, he laughed and said, "Lao Qu, have you ever heard of the famous party in the rebels?"

Qu Shiwen asked: "What group of people in Guangdong rebelled every year? How? Do you know each other?"

"I am." Gao Tai smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't worry, I will introduce you to the leader of the rebel party. This sky has long been corrupt. Let's discuss the matter of changing the day and letting the people live a good life!"

Qu Shiwen was overjoyed and laughed and said, "I just said that you are going to save the country and help the people in Xi'an. You can see that you are a real man. As expected! My old Qu will do it with you!"

Qu Shiwen has several old friends in Beijing, and after he finished speaking, he left to join relatives and friends.

Gao Tai, Huo Yuanjia, Sun Lutang, Shang Yunxiang and others also agreed to see each other again tomorrow and then they would disperse.

...

The next day, Gao Tai was woken up by Liu San and got up to have breakfast. Gao Tai first invited Sha Zilong, and then took Liu San, Chen Buyan and a dozen brothers to the Old Summer Palace. On the way, he met Sun Lutang, Li Cunyi, Shang Yunxiang, Han Muxia and others.

It was already past eight o'clock in the morning when several teams arrived at the Wulin Governor's yamen. The brothers who were staying on duty in the yamen hurriedly opened the door and came out cleverly. "The headmaster, third brother, second brother, Li Shuwen, Huang Feihong, and Du Xinwu came just now, and I arranged for them to wait in the side room."

"Go and invite them to speak to Minglun Hall, and then make a pot of good tea. Today we will discuss major issues!" Gao Tai laughed and ordered.

After a stick of incense, there were a lot of guests in the Minglun Hall of the Martial Arts Governor's Yamen. Gao Tai and Sha Zilong sat on the upper head with a smile on their faces. They started to sit on the chairs on the left and right sides of the houses were filled with more than 30 martial arts masters.

Among these people, except Gong Baotian is not here, thirteen of the fifteen masters have come, and many of them have come from the thirty masters. The other masters, Li Cunyi and Huo Yuanjia's disciples, Liu Zhensheng, Huang Feihong, Li Shuwen and other masters also stood behind the masters and listened to the senior masters.

Gao Tai exchanged a few greetings with everyone and expressed his thoughts on the idea of ​​asking the masters present to serve as senior executives of the General Assembly and the presidents of the Wulin Tongmenghui Branch of various provinces. Everyone seemed to be holding a spoils-sharing meeting, and they all agreed with a smile.

When the atmosphere became lively, Gao Tai said again: "I asked Lord Xu to help prepare for the martial arts Tongmenghui. It is to give us the people in the martial arts world a way, and to open another door for the martial arts practitioners to serve the country. Everyone knows that foreign guns and cannons are extremely powerful. We practice martial arts hard all our lives, and when we encounter guns and cannons, it is life-threatening. So whether it is within our martial arts world or in China and abroad, we all think that Chinese martial arts are about to decline and will be wiped out by the garbage dumps of history. I will tell you now, no!"

Gao Tai's words made everyone think deeply, and thirty or forty pairs of eyes were staring at him, wanting to hear what kind of clever insights Gao Tai would have.

"I think our Chinese martial arts is the crystallization of wisdom of our ancestors for thousands of years, and the fighting skills of the generals fighting thousands of battles. Since ancient times, Lu Bu, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Qin Qiong, Yue Fei, Qi Jiguang, etc., who did not rely on their own abilities to keep their name in history? Why is it that no longer effective when facing foreign guns and cannons? No!"
