When Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao came, they saw Cao Shuo with Lu Meng and Ma Yunlu.

In addition to them, the female guards guarding the back house also lined up in a neat phalanx, as if waiting for something.

"Childe." The two came to Cao Shuo and bowed.

Cao Shuo raised his hand and said to them: "You two came just in time, the two ladies have been training female guards for some days, and they want to witness whether it is the female guards in the back house who are skilled in martial arts or the guards in the outer courtyard who know how to fight better." ”

"The two ladies are both behind the gate, and the female guards trained must be all good." Deng Zhan said: "Actually, you don't need to try to know that it must be the female guards of the back house who are more courageous." ”

"I say so, but I don't necessarily think so in my heart." Cao Shuo said: "There is no need to be so fake in front of me and the two ladies. ”

Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao didn't say anything more.

Cao Shuo continued: "Tell the guards of the outer courtyard to get ready. Later, the two ladies and I will take the backhouse guards out and have a competition with them. ”

"Childe ......" Zhu Ao said with some embarrassment: "The guards in the back house are all women, and the guards trained by General Deng and I are not serious, if they are injured, ......"

"Just now General Deng said that the guards of the outer courtyard are not the opponents of the back house, which will make the general worry that he will hurt them." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "If you are injured, there will be two ladies to deal with the aftermath, you just have to do it." ”

Cao Shuo spoke, Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao had no choice but to respond and retreat to the outer courtyard.

Seeing them leave, Ma Yunlu pouted: "They really think that the guards in the backhouse are not opponents in the front yard." ”

"That's not for sure." Cao Shuo said: "General Deng and General Zhu were both famous swordsmen before they joined me, and the guard martial arts they trained were not too bad. ”

"The husband hasn't seen the skills of the housemaid guards yet, is it possible that he has already concluded that it is not their opponent?" Ma Yunlu asked unconvinced.

"How so." Cao Shuo said: "It's not that I don't believe in the guards of the back house, it's just that women are indeed inferior to men in terms of physical strength. ”

"The husband really decided that the back house guards would lose a long time ago." Ma Yunlu turned around and shouted to the female guards in the array: "You should have heard what Gongzi and General Zhu said just now. ”

"I heard you!" The female guards shouted in unison.

"You have been slighted, what should I do?" Ma Yunlu shouted again.

"Show your hand and impress Childe." The female guards shouted.

"That's a good point." Ma Yunlu nodded with satisfaction, and then asked Cao Shuo, "What does the husband think?" ”

"I think I can let them go to the outer courtyard." Ma Yunlu made such a fuss, Cao Shuo also felt a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Whether the guards in the back house are more powerful, or the outer courtyard is more courageous, it will be clear later." ”

"All of them!" Ma Yunlu shouted to the female guards again: "Bring weapons, march into the outer courtyard, and let those male guards see what kind of demeanor the women in the back house are." ”

The female guards shouted in unison, and followed Cao Shuo, Ma Yunlu, and Lu Meng to the outer courtyard.

Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao came to the outer courtyard and gathered the guards together.

"Just now, Gongzi gave an order to General Zhu and me." Looking around at the guards lined up, Deng Zhan said, "I want you to try your martial arts with the guards in the back house." ”

The frontyard guards are all carefully selected elites from the army.

At the beginning, the eldest lady gave an order to transfer all the guards belonging to the back house to the front yard, and the inner courtyard was replaced with female guards.

Regarding Yuan Fang's decision, the guards did not dare to disobey it, but they were all a little slanderous in their hearts.

These people used to be the elite of the army, and they were selected here to be guards, and they were personally taught martial arts by Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao, although they can't be said to be outstanding, at least the martial arts are not bad.

With them guarding here, even if there are three or two thousand people, they are not afraid.

The back house was replaced by female guards, although the clothes and armor were also very bright, and they practiced very diligently every day, but the guards in the front yard didn't think they could play any role at all.

Cao Shuo planned to bring those women out to test their martial arts with them, and the guards in the front yard looked at each other.

"They are all women, all of them with delicate skin." One of the guards asked, "If we hurt them, will the two ladies trouble us?" ”

"Childe said that if they hurt them, the two ladies will deal with it." Deng Zhan said: "You don't have to worry about this. What you have to think about is how to fight. ”

"Isn't it easy to win them?" Another guard said: "Could it be that we are going to kill the killers and make them lose face?" ”

"Either you don't fight, and since you want to fight, give me a serious fight." Before Deng Zhan could speak, Zhu Ao said: "Competing in martial arts is not child's play, you let them, in case they really defeat you, you will be the one who will lose face at that time." ”

The guards guarded Cao Shuo and his house, of course, they couldn't lose face, otherwise it wouldn't be good to be spread out.

All the guards straightened their chests and replied, "You will do your best on the test field!" ”

Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao conveyed Cao Shuo's meaning to the soldiers, and after a while, Cao Shuo, Lu Meng, and Ma Yunlu led the female guards out of the backyard.

"How?" Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao stepped forward to salute, and Cao Shuo asked, "Are you sure you can win?" ”

"Hui Gongzi." Deng Zhan said: "We have told the guards that once they compete, they don't need to keep their hands back, just show their real skills. As for whether you can win or not, it depends on what happens during the competition. ”

"I hope your trained guards don't lose to women." Cao Shuo grinned, leaned into the ears of the two of them and whispered: "Just now in the back house, Mrs. Ma made me a little embarrassed. ”

Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao were stunned.

They thought that Cao Shuo was on the side of the two ladies, but they didn't expect Mrs. Ma to dare to let him go down.

"How do you compare first?" Cao Shuo asked Lu Meng and Ma Yunlu: "One-to-one many-to-many?" ”

Ma Yunlu said: "Start with a single soldier, and the inner and outer house guards will choose the best martial arts competition. ”

"What do you two think?" Cao Shuo asked Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao again.

The two of them replied: "The two ladies can do whatever they think is suitable, and we can do whatever we want." ”

"Men have to be so atmospheric." Cao Shuo laughed, patted the two of them on the shoulder and said, "Let's start the competition now." ”

Ma Yunlu turned around and beckoned to a female guard: "You are out of the ranks." ”

The female guard walked out with a lance.

Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao discussed it, and also selected one person from the guards of the outer court.

Cao Shuo's residence was once the palace of Yuan Shu, and the two guards could still show their martial arts in a competition.
