Chapter 1,437: I am smiling to the sky with my horizontal sword, leaving my liver and gallbladder intact
Tan Sitong listened to Wang Wu's words and said: "Brother, this moment is another moment, and even if you really can't open up mountains and new lands, you can still exhale and raise your eyebrows no matter what!"
But Wang Wu said: "What people need in the mountains is fresh air, not exhaling and raising eyebrows!"
"Brother..." Tan Sitong was about to persuade, but was interrupted by Wang Wu: "Brother Tan, you see there is no fire in this stove anymore, how can you make a good knife?"
These conversations made many people's eyes light up.
Because everyone knows what the social background of this film is.
In fact, Wang Wu's words and Tan Sitong's words were metaphors for the current social situation at that time.
For Tan Sitong, the Reform Movement of 1898 was about to begin. It could be said that he was still full of longing at this moment and wanted to do something big. But for Wang Wu, he had already lost confidence in the Qing court.
When Tan Sitong heard this, he looked at the stove and said, "It's not hot enough. I'll use my hands instead of firewood to make it hot!"
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and reached into the stove.
But he was immediately pulled away by Yuan Shikai on the side.
"Brother Tan, everyone has their own ambitions, why bother?" Yuan Shikai advised.
"Eight thousand miles of rivers and mountains, tens of millions of people, what's the difference between one more sword and one less sword?" Yuan Shikai continued.
"Brother Yuan, a single spark can start a prairie fire!" Tan Sitong held Yuan Shikai's hand and said.
"The fire in my heart has been extinguished for a long time!" Wang Wu was still unwilling to leave the mountain.
Tan Sitong had no choice but to pull up his sleeves, turned around and walked out of the blacksmith shop.
But inside the blacksmith shop, the apprentice Zongsheng asked Wang Wudao: "Master, what does it mean that a single spark can start a prairie fire?"
Wang Wu was speechless!
Tan Sitong and Yuan Shikai walked together. Yuan Shikai said: "Brother Tan's visit to Beijing this time will definitely make him famous in the capital!"
"I hope all the people in the world will live in peace, so what does personal fame and fortune mean?" Tan Sitong said sadly.
"Well said. In this age when ambition is hard to achieve and everything is hard to achieve, it is rare to find a person with a bright mind like Brother Tan. I am really ashamed of myself!" Yuan Shikai looked admiring.
"Brother Yuan, why do you say this? Brother Yuan has been skilled in martial arts all his life and has led troops well. I am sure that you will not be a thing in the pool in the future!" Tan Sitong cupped his hands and said.
"Standing a foothold in the current world has been extremely difficult. If you want to get ahead, it may be even harder than reaching heaven!" Yuan Shikai shook his head and said.
Tan Sitong smiled and said: "It all depends on people. Tan is willing to make a recommendation and recommend Brother Yuan to Teacher Kang! I wonder if Brother Yuan would mind?"
"I'm afraid it will damage Mr. Kang's reputation!" Yuan Shikai suddenly smiled, but he still looked modest.
"Don't avoid relatives when you are inside!"
In fact, at this time, everyone also had a certain impression of the two people through their dialogue.
Tan Sitong had a bright mind at this moment, and he was thirsty for talents, whether it was Yuan Shikai or Wang Wu.
On the other hand, Yuan Shikai actually always talked about himself. He wanted to get ahead, and was not as idealistic as Tan Sitong.
At this moment, Wang Wu and his apprentice Zuo Zongsheng blocked the way!
"It's a long way to the end of the world, why don't we flap our wings and fly together, how about that, brother Tan?" Wang Wu said to Tan Sitong on his horse.
"With you and Brother Yuan walking together through thick and thin, even the end of the world is only a short distance away!" Tan Sitong was naturally overjoyed at Wang Wu's change of heart and said in a long voice.
The setting sun is like blood, the trees are reflected, the cavalry is marching, and the horses are dressed in bright clothes!
A man with dawn in his heart wants to go to Beijing to work for a comfortable future for all people in the world.
A man with great ambitions wants to go to the capital to get ahead!
A fire in my heart was extinguished, but was rekindled by Tan Sitong!
The three men decided to go to Beijing together to achieve great success!
The three of them came to the city gate.
Tan Sitong asked: "Brother Yuan, what do you think this city gate looks like?"
Yuan Shikai replied: "Like a milestone, it will record the future events of the three of us."
Wang Wu looked at the city gate and said: "It's like a tombstone. I don't know how many people's dreams and lives are buried here, and it will be the same in the future."
Jiujin added: "It's not like some monument, it's called Don't be sad, be happy."
When entering the city gate, Jiujin's words were also very interesting. She said: "Master, you see your future is bright!"
But the next moment she said in a panic: "Who bumped into me!"
A voice replied: "I'm sorry, because it's really dark here!"
It can be said that the movie has just begun here, but it has already made many viewers have high expectations for this movie, because every line is memorable.
Even a conversation between the maid and the guard is full of hints.
The future looks bright, but it's too dark here!
It also means that they have entered the future of this huge capital city!
The plaque in the hall where Wang Wu founded the "Qiangwu Society" in Beijing reads the six characters "A scholar must be ambitious" inscribed by Kang Youwei. Standing under the plaque, Wang Wu and Tan Sitong each have their own feelings!
Wang Wu: "Those who have always cared about the country will be sad people for eternity. It is difficult for Mr. Kang to walk this road."
Tan Sitong: "As long as we are of the same mind, no matter how windy the road is, the sun will shine one day."
In fact, this also highlights the difference in mentality between the two.
It’s just that the Qiangwu Academy is sparse.
Wang Wu looked at the broadsword given to him by Tan Sitong and Yuan Shikai, and still remembered Yuan Shikai's words: "The sword reins in the horse, and the mountains and rivers are proud of it. Fifth brother, let us see the heroic nature of the sword team."
When he saw Wang Wu's sword skills, Yuan Shikai sighed: "It's amazing. No wonder Liu Yongfu's Black Flag Army was so prominent. Sure enough, there are no weak soldiers under a strong general!"
After the three came to Beijing, they all had their own opportunities. Yuan Shikai was good at dancing, and Tan Sitong recommended him to Kang Youwei, and they successfully took over the new army.
Wang Wu established the Qiangwu Society with the intention of cultivating a group of ambitious men for the people, hoping to revive the national destiny.
And Tan Sitong wrote "Ren Xue" and was determined to reform!
The three reunited again, and Tan Sitong took out "Renxue", but Wang Wu's expression suddenly changed after reading it.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Tan Sitong said: "I will put myself to death and live again!"
"At this point, we are already terminally ill. We can no longer treat headaches and leg pains. We must implement changes thoroughly and start from scratch!" Tan Sitong looked a little excited.
But the listeners have different thoughts.
Tan Sitong said that the emperor had read his book and decided to implement the New Deal.
But Yuan Shikai was shocked by the news.
Although Wang Wu was worried about Tan Sitong, he still wished him that his wishes would come true.
But Yuan Shikai had a different idea: "Be in moderation in everything and think twice about everything!"
Regarding Yuan Shikai's persuasion, Tan Sitong said: "Time is not with me. If I delay it any longer, I will sink forever!"
The three of them each had their own thoughts and drank it all in one gulp.
Wang Wu sincerely hoped that Tan Sitong's wishes would come true, but Yuan Shikai was thoughtful.
At the same time, a sound of the piano sounded. When Wang Wu heard the sound of the piano suddenly stopped, he flew onto the boat, thinking that there was blood and light, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding.
But the woman playing the piano on the boat stopped Wang Wu.
"Yes, I did cut my hand on a broken string. It's hard to find a good friend. If this gentleman doesn't mind, please sit down and listen to me play a piece!"
"I'm afraid of disturbing the girl's freshness and elegance!"
"No matter how polite you are, it's just hypocritical!"
"It's better to be respectful than obey orders!"
Listening to the music of the piano, Wang Wu felt the mournful sound of the piano, and persuaded him: "The red sun is setting in the west, and it will rise again. Why should you keep the unhappy things in your heart?"
"If you don't put the kindness of your parents and the tenderness of your bones, where will it be in your heart?"
"Young girl is really filial. If you don't mind, I want to hear the reason behind it!"
"How do you know there's a reason behind it?"
"Because I am a confidant!"
The so-called chivalrous character is actually something Li Yi likes very much about the love between sons and daughters in "One Sword of the City".
The love between sons and daughters in this era of salvation is so gentle, so long, so melancholy, and so endlessly memorable.
Wang Wu said: "How many things in life are done according to one's own desires!"
"The fifth master seems to be a sad person too!"
"In today's China, as long as there is a passionate man, who is not sad?"
Suddenly it started pouring rain, and the maid who was rowing the boat was almost knocked off the boat. Wang Wu rescued her in time and said: "Although my heart has been hurt, it is not dead."
"Okay, this rain can wash away my worries, but it can't wash away the lofty ideals of the fifth master. Let me cheer for the fifth master! There are many storms in the world, so the fifth master takes great care of him."
Suddenly the sound of the piano became passionate and surging.
This also introduces a character, the magic hand Aobai!
Yuan Shikai mentioned the martial arts competition to Wang Wu, and this martial arts competition was to be held by Prince Yi.
Tan Sitong was worried that he would be harmed if Wang Wu got too close to him, but Yuan Shikai hoped that Wang Wu could participate in this conference.
Wang Wu finally decided to participate in the martial arts competition to see the four top masters in the capital.
In the martial arts competition, although Wang Wu won, he did not want to engage in a battle of wills, so it was considered a draw.
But Yuan Shikai flattered Prince Yi.
In fact, this martial arts competition is also a major attraction of this movie, because the action scenes can be said to be the best.
This martial arts competition indeed made Wang Wu and the Qiangwu Society famous in the capital. Even Xiaochuan, the flower boxing champion disciple who lost to Wang Wu, wanted to switch to Wang Wu's sect, but was rejected by Wang Wu.
Although the other party said that the master cherished his broomstick, Wang Wu believed that the path was chosen by himself and he could not blame others.
But Xiaochuan still insisted on worshiping Wang Wu's disciples.
Because Wang Wu became famous in one battle at the martial arts competition, the Qiang Wushu Society, which was originally a small group of people, suddenly became famous, and many people came here.
Finally, the Qiangwu Society opened up the situation, and Wang Wu finally took the disciple of the Flower Boxing King, Ye Xiaochuan, as his disciple.
When the camera turned, Yuan Shikai completely turned to Prince Yi for his own future, and he even said that he was only a casual acquaintance with Wang Wu and Tan Sitong.
Yuan Shikai proposed a plan to recruit Wang Wu and the Qiangwu Society for Prince Yi, so he went to the Qiangwu Society to give generous lectures on the art of war!
Tan Sitong could not agree and wanted to "talk on paper". The two sides were at loggerheads, good and evil, black and white, right and wrong, high and low, good and bad, blurred but clearly visible:
Yuan Shikai: "Being a soldier is like being a man. Haste makes waste, and you ignore the changes on the battlefield. No matter how hard it is, you must act according to the rules. Because fighting is not a person's business. It affects everyone's life and death, and the rise and fall of the country.
.So, you cannot let your will alone change the entire situation."
Tan Sitong: "The battlefield is like an officialdom. You must act decisively without delaying for a moment. When you want to change, you must change. There is no room for any favor or hesitation. Otherwise, once the opportunity passes and the opportunity is lost, it will be irreversible."
Yuan Shikai: "National events are extraordinary, and all major events must have their own rules. Don't take a step too far. Even if you try, you must take it step by step. Don't reach the sky in one step, otherwise one mistake will lead to eternal regrets."
Tan Sitong: "It is not the behavior of a man to be afraid of the head and the tail, to advance and retreat."
Yuan Shikai: "You should be direct in your life so that you can communicate with each other, but you should be tactful in your actions so as to avoid unnecessary losses and injuries."
Tan Sitong: "As you put it, what's the difference between this and a guy who is an official but doesn't do anything?"
Yuan Shikai: "There is a good saying: If you are an official and don't do anything, you will be strong. Today is different from the past, so you have to be careful what you say."
Tan Sitong: "People in the world discuss world affairs, what can't be discussed?"
Yuan Shikai: "There is no room for right and wrong under the emperor's feet..."
The two of them broke up on bad terms.
During this period, Yuan Shikai stated his purpose of coming, and Prince Yi invited Wang Wu to go to the palace to talk.
Tan Sitong told Wang Wu that they wanted to recruit him, but Wang Wu said that although he agreed to attend the appointment, he would not be recruited.
When they arrived at the palace, it turned out that Prince Yi wanted Wang Wu to set up a Sino-Japanese Martial Arts Association with the Japanese, but Wang Wu couldn't possibly work with Qiu Kou, so he refused on the spot.
Prince Yi did not allow Wang Wu to compete with the Japanese, but when the Japanese came to provoke him, Wang Wu couldn't bear it, and was taken away by Yuan Shikai for violating Prince Yi's order.
Unexpectedly, I met the confidant at the palace, who turned out to be Prince Yi's concubine.
On the other side, Tan Sitong learned that Wang Wu had been taken to the palace, so he specifically asked for the emperor's oral instructions and came to the palace to announce the decree to save people!
Tan Sitong forcibly took Wang Wu away, but this also completely angered Prince Yi.
But in fact, they captured Wang Wu just to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
Tan Sitong felt that the conservatives were coming fiercely and wanted to fight back, but he chose to believe in Yuan Shikai.
But unexpectedly, Tan Sitong mistrusted Yuan Shikai, and Yuan Shikai struck back at the critical moment, and Tan Sitong was arrested!
Jiujin came to report the news. Kang Youwei left by boat because someone had tipped him off, but Tan Sitong was imprisoned and charged with treason.
"Success or failure is just a thin line, so why are we the ones who fail?" Wang Wu said, looking at the plaque with Kang Youwei's inscription.
Wang Wu broke into Ouchi Prison alone and decided whether he was right or wrong with Yu Wanshan, one of the "Four Mountains in the Capital" who was guarding the formation!
Wang Wu: “Since the beginning of prisons, mostly good people have been imprisoned.”
Yu Wanshan: "I am just a jailer, not a historian."
Everyone couldn't help but be a little surprised when they saw Yu Wanshan played by Cheng Hu. After all, that was Cheng Hu!
The two fought fiercely, and in the end King Wu made a superior move. King Wu defeated Yu Wanshan in an attempt to rescue Tan Sitong.
Wang Wu said: "Brother Tan, let's go!"
Tan Sitong: "If I don't leave, I can't get out of the prison, but I can't get out of the world."
Wang Wu: "If we can leave tonight, we will have tomorrow."
Tan Sitong: "Leave the things of tomorrow to tomorrow's people. What I have to do today is to be generous in righteousness and use my blood to inspire everyone."
After that, Tan Sitong wiped Wang Wu's knife with his hand, and wrote in blood on the wall of the prison: "I will smile to the sky from the side of my knife, leaving my liver and gallbladder intact."
Wang Wu: "Brother Tan, you are right. Doing great things is either a great achievement or a great defeat. Your defeat today was just due to luck. This country will always follow your path."
Tan Sitong: "Yes, this country will always follow my path. Fifth Brother, I want to sleep for a while. I haven't had a good sleep for a long time."
Tan Sitong generously went to justice and was escorted to the execution ground!
