The old man was also interested, so he went back to the village. Gradually, the sun set, it was not early, Lao Niu personally cooked, cooked a few delicious dishes, accompanied by good wine, and the three of them ate and drank very happily.

Night is approaching, Wen Shun is full of food and drink, and laughs with Lao Niu.

"It's not too early, I'm going back. When you arrived in Chang'an, Lao Niu, you said to the soldiers in the city that you have come to drink and feast. Someone will show you the way. ”

Wen Shun was not in a hurry to reveal his identity, Lao Niu laughed when he heard Wen Shun's big tone, and replied with his chin bowed.

"Good! Good! If I can't find you then, I will shout at you on Chang'an Avenue for the title of drunken maniac, and someone will definitely take me to find you! ”

Lao Niu is also joking. Wen Shun smiled knowingly, and suddenly asked.

"That's right. Lao Niu, you said that your son joined the army in Chang'an, what is his name? I'll have a big surprise for you! ”

When Lao Niu heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately replied.

"My cub is called Yang Wither, but it is not the same as me, I am good at writing at a young age, so I did not hesitate to scatter all my family wealth to invite a famous teacher for him and collect books. He is erudite and talented, and he is born with divine powers, and his martial arts are excellent. I have always paid attention to talents, and now I am a cub in the army to make a name for myself. If you have the heart, call him by his name, and you will find him. ”

"Sheep wither!?"

Wen Shun's face was shocked, this is really a coincidence. The cub in the old cow's mouth is a member of his unicorn camp. It is said that this sheep is withered, sixteen years old, but he is sophisticated, thoughtful, hard-working, and deeply respected. However, Wen Shun never imagined that the sheep withered, who was quite wooden on weekdays, would have such a cheerful and thick father.

"Good. When I go back, I'll definitely meet the sheep! ”

When the old cow heard this, he was very pleased. He had already guessed that Wen Shun was from an extraordinary background, and he also saw that he was a man who was extremely committed and affectionate. Now he is willing to promise that he will definitely not leave ten. Lao Niu hurriedly taught Wen Shun to wait for a while, and then looked at the village in a panic. After a while, the old cow rushed back, holding a red robe in his hand, and the patches on the robe were sewn and patched, and it could be seen that there had been many years, but it was very clean. Lao Niu handed the robe to Wen Shun, and after a while, he said.

"It's getting cooler. The army is toiling, and that cub doesn't know how to take care of himself, and if you can see him, he will trouble you to bring me this robe. ”

Wen Shun carefully took the robe, although the robe was old, it had an indescribable warmth, and replied in a condensed voice.

"Don't worry, old cow. I'll bring it to you!" ”

When the old cow heard this, he smiled honestly and smiled very happily, and he could see his mouth full of yellow teeth. Subsequently, after Wen Shun said goodbye to Wang Yuanji and Lao Niu, the two got on the horse and rushed to Chang'an City. Lao Niu looked at the figures of the two of them and muttered.

"This pair of babies is really a perfect match~! I don't know when I can get married! ”

Let's say that after Wen Shun returned to Chang'an City, it was the first shift at night, and the streets of Chang'an were lively. Wen Shun led the horse and walked on the street with Wang Yuanji, looking at the people coming and going, all kinds of shops, talking and laughing. On the way, the two happened to pass by the Drunken Immortal Building. Wen Shun smiled, thinking that Wang Yuanji was running all the way, but he was also tired, and wanted to go in to rest. At this moment, Sima Zhao walked out of the store as if he had a heart, and the first thing he saw was Wang Yuanji in goose yellow clothes, and his eyes suddenly lit up. It's strange to say that since the duel between the soldiers and basins that day, Sima Zhao has never seen Wang Yuanji again, and he has been thinking about this strange woman all the time day and night. Although Wang Yuanji was not wearing a veil at this time, Sima Zhao still recognized her at a glance and exclaimed in surprise.

"Miss Wang?!"

Wang Yuanji heard Sima Zhao's call, his heart jumped, and when he looked at it, his eyebrows furrowed, but he didn't want Wen Shun to misunderstand. At this time, Wen Shun's eyes were condensed, and he could see Sima Zhao's feelings for Wang Yuanji, but he was not in a hurry, and smiled at Wang Yuanji.

"Ji'er, do you know this person?"

Wang Yuanji and Wen Shun looked at each other, and they no longer concealed it at this time, and bowed slightly. As soon as Sima Zhao heard Wen Shun call Wang Yuanji Ji'er, his complexion changed, his eyes shimmered, and he hid a little hatred, and immediately looked at Wen Shun, only to see that Wen Shun had an extraordinary bearing, and his body exuded a domineering spirit, and he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart. Presumably this person is Wen Shunye, the son of the king of the Western Tang Dynasty. In recent days, Sima Zhao has heard a lot about the gossip about the marriage between the two. At this time, Sima Zhao listened to Wang Yuanji and Wen Shun reply.

This person is the only son of the shopkeeper, named Ma Zhao, who has recovered from a serious illness in recent years, so he helped the shopkeeper in the restaurant. He has read a lot of books since he was a child, not only is he excellent in literature, but he is also involved in formation and military science, attracting countless talented people to come to teach. Before, I was bored at home, and I also came here to ask for advice, but I was repeatedly defeated by Ma Gongzi. ”

Wang Yuanji said lightly, as if he was talking about a trivial matter that was not surprising. Sima Zhao listened, but he was very uncomfortable, and suddenly bowed his hand.

Miss Wang praised it. Zhao only learned a little, which is not elegant. Presumably, this is His Royal Highness the Prince of the Western Tang Dynasty, His Royal Highness's name is like thunder, and it is a great blessing to have the honor to look at his dignity today. “

Wen Shun listened, raised his sword eyebrows, became a little interested, and said with a light smile.

"Oh? Ma Gongzi was able to win Ji'er, it seems that he is not an idle person. I wonder if I can get acquainted with Ma Gongzi? ”

"That's a great deal

o

G-lucky, please! ”

Sima Zhao bowed slightly, made a salute, and today he divined a hexagram, and the hexagram showed that a noble person came to the door, and now it seems that this noble person is Wen Shunye. Wen Shun and Wang Yuanji glanced at each other, and the two walked together, but Sima Zhao looked lonely. Sima Zhao saw Wang Yuanji beside Wen Shun, smiling again and again, his heart was moving, and for some reason there was a fire of ignorance in his abdomen, which rose violently. Ma Guang, who was greeting the guests, saw Wen Shun and Wang Yuanji walking in, his eyes lit up, and he secretly communicated with Sima Zhao's eyes, and he realized in his heart, and quickly taught his subordinates to prepare a quiet wing.

When they were young, the three of them came to the wing. Sima Zhao instructed his subordinates to take a few plates of pastries and a bottle of osmanthus wine. Sima Zhao was bold and well-versed, and soon chatted with Wen Shun and Wang Yuanji, and the three of them talked happily. Wen Shun was also amazed by Sima Zhao's talent. Gradually, Wen Shun and Sima Zhao talked about important military affairs and the reorganization of the team. Although Wang Yuanji understands the formation and military science, he is not familiar with the way of governing the army, and when he saw the two of them, he rarely interjected. Wen Shun and Sima Zhao expressed their own opinions, in an orderly manner, and each had its own reason. Wen Shun pays attention to strict training in governing the army, and all lieutenant generals and colonels in the army need to set an example and strive for excellence. In this way, the Chinese side can unite into a regiment and conquer all the battles. Sima Zhao, on the other hand, pays attention to rewards and punishments, and attaches great importance to the law and discipline of the army to drive them away. The generals who command the army need to order the generals and colonels at higher levels to give full play to their talents and appoint their own duties, so that the army can move and stop, advance and withdraw in a way, and operate smoothly.

After some discussion, both of them admired each other's talents more and more. Sima Zhao has greatly changed his opinion of Wen Shun, and from Wen Shun's conversation, it is not difficult to see that Wen Shun is a person who is strict with himself, and he is by no means a disciple who does not learn and has no talent. However, Wen Shun didn't think as much as Sima Zhao, he just felt that Sima Zhao was so handsome, and it was a pity to waste his time in this restaurant. Wen Shun then tested Sima Zhao to see if he had the heart to enter the ranks, but Sima Zhao politely refused, and used poor health as a reason. When Wen Shun heard this, he sighed and said regretfully.

"If Ma Gongzi is willing to join the army in the future, he can come to the army to find me at any time. I, Camp Kirin, will always be open for you! ”

"Huh. How can Zhao be virtuous, can be so appreciated by the son of the world, if it is convenient, Zhao must go! ”

Sima Zhao smiled faintly and replied. Wen Shun's eyes lit up, and as soon as he applauded, the two of them made a promise. But Wen Shun didn't know that Sima Zhao was the second son of Sima Yi, a heavy minister of the Great Wei Dynasty, and this time he came to the Western Tang Dynasty to have important things to do, and once it was done, he would run away, how could he go to Wen Shun's army to join the army! Wen Shun and Sima Zhao seemed to cherish each other, but they snubbed the beauty. Wang Yuanji was not interested, and the pastries on the table were not moved. Wen Shun soon found out and smiled with Wang Yuanji.

"Ji'er, if you feel bored, you and I will leave first. On another day, I will get together with Ma Gongzi again. ”

Originally, Sima Zhao also wanted to speak, but was robbed by Wen Shun. When Sima Zhao heard this, he remembered something and suddenly smiled.

"Wait. After seeing Miss Wang's barn before, he was extremely infatuated, and recently made one, which no one has to do with me on weekdays. Miss Wang is here today, I don't know if I can enjoy it and play against me? ”

"Oh? Soldiers? ”

When Wen Shun heard this, he smiled. Wang Yuanji also became interested and said to Sima Zhao.

"There are masters here, how dare the little woman get an axe? Ma Gongzi still asked Brother Wen for advice. ”

In Wang Yuanji's words, she did not hide her admiration for Wen Shun at all. When Sima Zhao saw it, there was a bitterness in his heart, and he silently suppressed his emotions, and turned to Wen Shun and asked.

"Huh? Miss Wang once said that the basin was made by an old man. Could it be His Royal Highness? ”

"Huh. When I was young, I had nothing to do, and I saw that my father and the prime minister often used sand and stone to make formations, and talked a lot about formation and military science. I learned a thing or two from the sidelines, so I tried to build one. ”

Wen Shun smiled slightly, and Sima Zhao was amazed when he heard this. And Wang Yuanji also seemed to want to watch these two Tianzong wizards fight, but of course, she thought that Wen Shun could win back a game for her and frustrate Ma Zhao's spirit, so she was very interested and matched on the side. Sima Zhao's eyes shone, but he also intended to defeat Wen Shun in front of Wang Yuanji. Wen Shun is still simple-minded, of course, this is because Wen Shun appreciates Sima Zhao and regards him as a friend worthy of befriending.

Suddenly, the people in the store brought the barrage. Wen Shun and Sima Zhao sat opposite each other, while Wang Yuanji sat beside Wen Shun obediently. Wen Shun and Sima Zhao each took one side, and the strange stones of the sand formation were placed. Sima Zhao drew the wooden stick first, which is a 'fog' word. Sima Zhao and Wen Shun both frowned when they saw it. But almost at the same time, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, and then they each began to fiddle with strange stones on the basin. It seems that both of them are thoughtful and cautious people, Sima Zhao is in a defensive formation, while Wen Shun's formation is both offensive and defensive, and there are scouts in front of the formation. The topography design of this military basin, I don't know whether Sima Zhao intended it or not, is very similar to the terrain in front of the Tiger Prison Pass, one of the borders of the Great Wei and the Western Tang Dynasty. Wang Yuanji, who was beside him, saw that both of them were standing still, her eyebrows were furrowed, and she stared intently at the basin.

Both of them have a situation where the enemy does not move and I do not move, Wen Shun smiled slightly, although he didn't know what Sima Zhao's strength was, but just because he could defeat Wang Yuanji, he could guess that he was by no means an idle person. And Sima Zhao is the same, and he is not willing to act rashly for the time being. After a quarter of an hour, Wen Shun suddenly swung the strange stone, sent scouts to investigate, and at the same time drove two teams of cavalry to meet it. Sima Zhao's eyes shimmered, the left and right wings rushed forward, and the middle lane was behind. Wen Shun's face sank, the scout team suddenly came up, and the two teams of cavalry dispersed.

"This Wen Zixi is trying to lure me into battle!"

Sima Zhao's eyes lit up, and he let Wen Shun run rampant in front of his array. According to this climate, the fog in the army basin was full of fog, and Wen Shun only sent two small cavalry to blempty in front of the battle. Wen Shun smiled, knowing that Sima Zhao had already seen his plan, so he slowly withdrew the scouts and the two cavalry. After a while, Wen Shun drew lots, and the word 'Qing' was written on the wooden stick. Wang Yuanji, who was beside her, couldn't help but look nervous when she saw it. The fog has cleared, and the two are about to start their official confrontation. Sima Zhao's eyes narrowed, his face was calm, and he quickly made it easy for him to swing in the stone formation. At the same time, Wen Shun was also swinging his array of strange stones, and it was the three talents of heaven and earth that were swinging. Wen Shun was in a stable position, looking at Sima Zhao's place, his face was condensed, and two rays of light shot out in his eyes, and he shouted in his heart.

"What a strict eight-door golden lock array!"

As for Sima Zhao, he was also observing Wen Shun's formation at this time, although his formation was only the three talents of heaven and earth, and the formation was simple, but there seemed to be a hidden killing motive in it, and at a glance, it was known that it had been modified, which was extraordinary. Judging from the formation of the two, it is obvious that Sima Zhao wants to attack on defense.
