Three people and two horses were walking on a country road. Sorghum stood solemnly on both sides, turning the country road into a deep alley. An alley with no exit in sight. Xie Yutian suddenly felt extremely depressed and felt that he would never leave.

stay home.

There was silence all around, and the horses' hooves stepped on the hard dirt road, making a dull "thump-thump-thump-thump" sound, making the boundless silence even longer.

Xie Yutian's depression was also extremely long. He tried hard to clarify his thoughts, but was always cut off by the sudden sound of horse hooves.

At this point in his life, he encountered a sudden misfortune. What would be the worst outcome? It would be nothing more than moving his family out of the big house and out of Taierzhuang... His ancestors had already moved again and again, all the way from Shanxi. This family was not

They didn’t break up! What if he moves back again? The Xie family still won’t break up!

The country road ahead suddenly widened and connected to the official road of the North-South thoroughfare. It could reach Beijing at the top and Nanjing at the bottom. Where to go, the reins were in my hands.

You still have to walk the road on your own.

Xie Yutian laughed suddenly as he was thinking about it. Zhong Yishi was surprised and turned to look at him steadily, with a worried look on his face. She was worried that Xie Yutian could not bear the blow, even though Xie Yutian had become a hero in her mind

, she still believes that no matter how strong a person is, there will be a moment of vulnerability. That moment may be just a fleeting thought, but it cannot be passed. She promised Sister Liang to take good care of the second master, but how can she take care of this man's heart!

"There is no perfect path, and the worst choice may not be the best way." Xie Yutian said this out of nowhere.

"The second master wants to use the method of wishing the third master..." Zhong Yishi was very smart and guessed Xie Yutian's thoughts at once. She was relieved, and it turned out that his heart was still strong.

Xie Yutian smiled but said nothing.

"Although Third Master Zhu's method is not fair, it is extremely fair in dealing with dirty villains. I just don't know how to find out where the dart is hidden. If I miss it, I will never have the chance to recover the dart!"

"

"All roads lead to Beijing, and there will always be an exit." Xie Yutian said quietly.

Gao Xiang took a step forward and said: "Master, I am willing to sneak into He Mansion to find out..."

"Are you going? Didn't you already meet the thief on the boat? If you go, I'm afraid that something like that in Da Nanzhuang will happen again!"

It was dark and midnight, so how could the thief remember what he looked like? Gao Xiang knew that his master would never trust him again. He felt sad and silently followed the two horses with a pale face.

"Yishi is willing to give it a try." Zhong Yishi said.

"What a joke, no matter how bad I Xie Yutian is, I will never let a woman go through life and death for me!"

"Humph, the second master may have forgotten that Ishi is now a man!"

Xie Yutian smiled: "Then you can't go even more. Your outfit can fool people for a while, but not for long."

Zhong Yishi pondered for a moment and said, "Ishi, let's go to Cangzhou. My master has many contacts. He must have a way to connect with the He family."

Xie Yutian had this intention in bringing her here, but he couldn't take the initiative to say it out loud. She proposed to find the Big Sword King Wu, which was the best thing, so he followed the trend and said: "Then I can help you, little sister, I have a thousand taels of silver here."

Take the ticket with you when you go to see Master, you can't go empty-handed."

"The second master is so generous! If my master is a greedy person, this little money will not be enough." Zhong Yishi said with a smile.

"Bring it with you so that you are prepared for any emergencies and don't suffer the consequences when it comes time to use money."

Xie Yutian put the banknote into Zhong Yishi's hand. Zhong Yishi suddenly felt something in his heart. He grabbed his hand and whispered: "Ishi, go back quickly. Please take care of yourself..."

Xie Yutian was startled, and a strange feeling arose in his heart. He gently pulled out his hand and said, "I'm a little worried about you going alone..." After saying that, he turned back and glanced at Gao Xiang, wanting him to accompany him. After thinking for a moment, he said:

"Forget it, just be more careful yourself."

Zhong Yishi drove her horse to the official road and did not go to Wang's house after arriving in Cangzhou, because she knew that Wang Wuye was worried about hurting the nine clans, so he had already dispersed the family wealth to his close relatives and friends, and moved his family into hiding.

Zhong Yishi did not dare to go to the escort agency where she once lived to inquire. She and her father had lost their escorts and had no courage to go see their boss. She knew that the master had a close friend in Cangzhou who was a private school teacher. Whenever the master returned to his hometown, he would go there.

He would talk to him at night, and whenever there was an important matter, he would listen to his opinions. When Zhong Yishi found that gentleman, he only got one sentence: "Don't look for the fifth master anymore. The world has lost Tan Zhangjing, and there will be no Wang Wu anymore."

"Master."

…

Since Tan Sitong and others failed in the reform and were killed, Wang Zhengyi hated the court deeply and vowed to avenge his friend Tan Sitong. However, revenge requires enemies. It was Cixi who ordered Tan Sitong to be killed. It is not that easy to seek revenge from Cixi.

Wang Zhengyi even regretted that he was old. If he had been a young man, he would have found a way out of the palace to sneak into the Forbidden City, and chop the old witch to pieces with a single blow.

After wandering around the capital for many days and planning with like-minded martial arts friends, I finally had no idea how to start. Just when Wang Zhengyi was feeling depressed, he met a very important person.

This man is the youngest son of Tan Zhonglin, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. His name is Tan Zuan, he is 19 years old. His father is an official in Guangdong and Guangxi, why did he come to the capital?

There is a tune here. Tan Zuan lived with his father Tan Zhonglin in Changsha, Hunan Province when he was young. Tan Sitong was from Liuyang, Hunan Province, and the two places were more than a hundred miles apart. Tan Zuan was the elder of Tan Sitong when he was fifteen years old. Tan Zuan entered a private school at the age of five and began to compose poetry at the age of eleven.

He made a big splash and was hailed as a "genius who can carry the cauldron" by Weng Tonghe, the master of Emperor Guangxu. When Tan Zuan was fifteen years old, he already cared about his family, country and the world. At this time, Tan Sitong was a famous scholar in Hunan.

In the 21st year of Guangxu's reign, Li Hongzhang signed the "Treaty of Shimonoseki", which caused an uproar in the world, and the scholars were not ashamed. Tan Sitong formed a society in his hometown in anger, advocated new learning, and called for reform, and was supported by the scholars in Sanxiang. Tan Zu'an tied his hair at the age of

I went to Liuyang to listen to Tan Sitong's lectures and was greatly affected by them.

Although Tan Zuan did not become Tan Sitong's disciple, he had an unusual teacher-student friendship. In the 23rd year of Guangxu's reign, Tan Sitong set up the "Current Affairs School" in Changsha and lived in Tan Zhonglin's house. Tan Zuan accompanied him, and the friendship between the two became deeper and deeper.

A year later, Tan Sitong was arrested due to the failure of the reform. Tan Zuan asked his father Tan Zhonglin to try to rescue him, but Tan Zhonglin knew the serious relationship between him and how dare he risk his life and property to protect the "rebellious party".

The news that Tan Sitong was sentenced to death spread to the land of Sanxiang. Tan Zuan repeatedly shouted, "The country has lost a pillar, the whole world is sad!" Regardless of his father's obstruction, he immediately set off for the capital to pick up Mr. Tan and return him to his hometown for burial.

Tan Zuan traveled day and night, and when he arrived in the capital, he found that everything had returned to calm. He even went to the streets and alleys to inquire about the whereabouts of the martyrs' bodies, but no one dared to answer. In the vast Qing Dynasty, except for a few shouts from the reformers, there was silence.

"When the great principles fail, there is benevolence and righteousness; when wisdom emerges, there is great hypocrisy; when relatives are at odds, there is filial piety and kindness; when the country is in confusion, there are loyal ministers." Tan Zuan stood at the entrance of the vegetable market, looking at the people like walking corpses, and thought of the words in the "Tao Te Ching"

This passage made me cry with sadness.

With great sorrow and despair, Tan Zu'an quietly went to the city wall at night to cry, and left on the city wall a couplet written by Tan Sitong when he was young: "Only generals are famous in the world, and they have a unique reputation from ancient times to the present."
