Chapter Twenty-Six: Two Strange Old Men

In the following days, Zhan Ying still went to copy books every day, but he never saw Jingshang again. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

On the second day of junior high school, when Zhan Ying went to Qingyao and wanted to go to the backyard, Lao Yan stopped her, "Miss Zhan Ying" He shook his head, and his expression was a little embarrassed, "The pavilion master refuses to see guests." Zhan Ying was uneasy, where was he refusing to see the guest, he just didn't want to see her.

Zhan Ying was not reluctant, just quietly copying books every day, occasionally raising his head to look at the wooden wall, trying to see the plum forest through the wooden wall...... And the man who stood tall under the plum tree. Thinking of the shattered brilliance in his eyes that day, Zhan Ying was very worried.

On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Zhan Ying was on his way to Qingyao, because there were too many people on the streets during the New Year's Festival, Zhan Ying always took a secluded path. Walking to the river, there were two old men sitting in the thatched pavilion where no one was usually empty, one was slightly chubby in red, his face was like a freshly steamed steamed bun without wrinkles, there was no hair on the top, and the whole person was round and chubby. The old man on the opposite side was dressed in green and thin, with gray hair and beard scattered over his shoulders and chest.

Zhan Ying walked to the side just as the fat old man in red was shouting: "Hey, old ghost Li, my cavalry has broken through your infantry phalanx, and I am about to win this game." Zhan Ying heard the familiar words, and hurriedly raised his eyes, the old man in green hurriedly withdrew a few flags and inserted a few more, and his voice was like a bell: "How, the infantry in front of me has dispersed, and the hooks in the hands of the infantry in the rear row of trenches have broken the horse's legs, and the pikemen in the back row stepped forward to stab the horse cavalry." Hearing this, Zhan Ying stepped forward to watch.

The two old men didn't care at all that there was another Zhan Ying in the court, and only continued the sand table battle between the two. Zhan Ying saw that the victory on the sand table had been decided, and the old man in red was particularly unconvinced, and shouted loudly: "There are still 10,000 infantry behind my cavalry, I let the infantry bring my three-repeat crossbow, your shield-wielding soldiers have already been broken by me before, how can you resist my crossbow battalion." ”

The old man in green was obviously used to the old man in red, so he only said in a flat tone: "Old man He, you and I said that we will only fight ordinary military formations and weapons today, not organs, if you insist on doing so, then I will go back to the valley." ”

The old man in red lowered half of his face, "Eh, don't, recently my futile son stole out of the valley to play, I'm almost bored to death, okay, okay, you win this game, let's have another game." ”

Zhan Ying watched the battle from the sidelines. The two old men began to plant flags on the sand table again, and Zhan Ying seemed to have thousands of troops in front of him, waiting for the commander to give an order, and then stepped forward to fight. After the two of them formed a formation, moved the small flag, supplemented by language explanations, a magnificent picture unfolded in front of Zhan Ying, infantry, cavalry, soldiers, spearmen, charioteers, under the command of the commander, either attacked or retreated, or quickly moved to the position needed in the formation, and the entire battlefield fought in an orderly and cruel manner. The military formations of the two were extremely accomplished, and Zhan Ying almost held his breath and watched it heartily.

In Zhan Ying's opinion, this sand table fighting array is as tense and exciting as on the battlefield, and it is still such a high-level fighting array, compared to the fighting array with his brothers before, it is simply the level of a child's family wine. As the battle progressed, the old man in red was defeated again.

"No, no, no, old ghost Li, your formation attainments are already above me, why don't we come to compare the organs and Qimen Dunjia?" The old man in red lost his eyes and shouted like a child.

The old man in green has his own way of curing him: "How do you compete here today?" I can only go back to the valley to compete again, not to mention Qimen Dunjia and Mechanics, you also lost to me on the day you left the school. Over the years, you have only cared about having fun, and I am afraid that the craft has long been unfamiliar, just look at your unsuccessful apprentice. The old man in green was obviously used to the old man in red, and after he finished stroking his gray beard, the old man's smooth round face suddenly turned red.

"My apprentice's skill and Qimen Dunjia are very talented, but he is just lazy. It's better than if you haven't even come here yet! ”

The old man in green snorted coldly, "I'd rather be a broken jade than a complete tile, and my qualifications and talents can't meet my requirements, so I'd rather not accept it." ”

The old man in red was elated: "Okay, okay, so that everything in the valley will be given to my apprentices in the future, and my branch can accept two apprentices!" ”

The old man in green waved his hand at him, "Is it better than that?" I've won two out of three games, and if I don't beat in the third game, you won't be able to beat me anyway. ”

The old man in red was already deflated, but when he heard him say this, he was aroused by his fighting spirit, "Who said that I would definitely lose, even if you have won twice, I still have to beat you to me in the third to tell me for mercy, hum." With that, he began to pull up the small flag in front of him.

The plate has been emptied, and the old man in red began to play tricks, grinding and grinding for a long time without inserting a single one, and from time to time peeking at the old man in green. And the old man in green turned a blind eye and began to quickly set up the formation.

Two, two, four, two, one, the first two are black flags, representing the shield hand, and the whole array of eleven flags. With the action of the old man in green planting the flag, Zhan Ying's mouth opened wider and wider, could it be that this was a mandarin duck array!! The last formation in the warrior's book, the exquisite formation she had been amazed at.

When the old man in green inserted the red flag representing the captain between the two flags in the second row, Zhan Ying was already sure that this was the Mandarin Duck Formation! Her blood boiled all over her body, after she saw the mandarin duck array, she had spent more than ten nights deliberating, practicing on paper and sand, and came up with a way to break the formation, and she would know if it was feasible and whether there were any loopholes when she tried it today.

She whispered to the old man in red: "Old man, I have a way to break the formation, can you let me try it?" The old man in red glanced at her suspiciously, and thought in his heart: If I lose to Old Ghost Li again, I will really lose face, why don't I let this little girl doll give it a try, if she wins, she can humiliate Old Ghost Li fiercely, and if she loses, it will only be this female doll who loses to him.

Thinking of this, the old man in red opened his mouth: "Old ghost Li, this female doll said that she was itchy, so I gave her this opportunity to learn, it is rare for a female doll to be interested in this formation, you should teach the younger generations and play with her." ”

Seeing that the old man in green nodded, Zhan Ying calmly grabbed the flag and planted it one by one in the plate. Because he has deduced countless times in his heart, Zhan Ying is extremely fast.

Seeing that the Zhan Ying flags were planted one by one, the old man in green raised his eyebrows, leaned forward, and looked seriously. The old man in red was first surprised, and then smiled. The old man green saw that Zhan Ying had planted a few flags later, so he leaned back again, stroked his beard, his expression relaxed, and his expression was appreciative.

After the two of them finished arranging, they began to explain. The old man in green pointed to the rows of flags and said, "The first row holds the shield, the second row holds the wolf xian, the spears of the four people, the last two short knives, and the last one makes the bow." ”
