Chapter 226: Three Moves
In a hurry, it is difficult to part, and I want to save the beauty and return home; The steward strongly recommended the three talents, and Situ borrowed an axe to fight the martial arts.
Zhang Liang swore to Yu Xi that he was determined. As if nothing or anyone could stop him from saving Yu Xi and Qing Min.
Yu Xi never doubted Zhang Liang. But that's exactly why she's worried. What she is worried about is not whether Zhang Liang will do it, but what the consequences will be if Zhang Liang does it.
"Please! Please don't embarrass me! You only thought of yourself, have you ever thought of Sister Han and the eldest lady. Once you take me away, Korea will face the overwhelming army of the overlords. Even if you're not afraid, what about the military and civilians in South Korea? Are you going to make them pay with their lives for your reckless actions?! ”
Yu Xi's words were like a boulder, and Zhang Liang couldn't breathe. He didn't know how to refute the other person's words. How he wished that he could tell his beloved Yu Xi at this time that he had a way to solve all this. Unfortunately, he couldn't!
Just when the two were holding each other. Chen Ping said hurriedly: "Zhang Situ, it's too late. The maids are coming back, and we must leave! ”
Time is fleeting. Zhang Liang still has a lot to say, but he hasn't had time to talk to his beloved. The imminent separation from Yu Xi made him heartbroken again.
Yu Xi seemed extremely calm at this time. I saw her gently caress her hand on Zhang Liang's face, and then looked at him tenderly and said, "Zhang Liang!" I love you! ”
This declaration of love is a touching confession, but also a heavy vow. Zhang Liang has looked forward to its appearance countless times, but he never thought that it would appear at such a time; Such a location. This declaration of love was so painful to him.
Before Zhang Liang could respond, Chen Ping had already stepped forward to forcibly grab him, and then pulled him away without saying anything.
Zhang Liang wanted to break free from Chen Ping's pull, but at this time he saw the maids come back. In desperation, he had to endure his grief and chose to leave temporarily. When leaving, he clearly showed two words to Yu Xi with his lips - wait for me!
Although there was no sound, Yu Xi saw it really clearly. All she could do was nod slightly, two tear streaks already on her cheeks.
When the maids approached Yu Xi's side, they saw her tears in her eyes, as if she was crying, and hurriedly asked, "Miss Yu Xi, what's wrong with you?!" ”
Yu Xi smiled casually, and then replied softly: "It's okay, the night wind blew hurts your eyes." Although she had a smile on her face, it was a pity that the smile was so pale and stiff, and even a little sad
After returning to Chen Ping's mansion, Zhang Liang did not eat or drink, let alone speak. Chen Ping saw it in his eyes, and his heart was extremely anxious. He decided to dismiss Zhang Liang and must not let him go on like this again.
"Zhang Situ, you have already met Miss Yu Xi, she is fine now, and the overlord has not embarrassed or forced her. The best thing you should do now is to think about how you can win the election in a few days. Are you going to give Miss Qingmin to someone else?! ”
Chen Ping always knew what was the point, and in just a few words, Zhang Liang gradually woke up from his grief. After thinking about it for a while, he felt that Chen Ping's words were right, and the first task now was to solve the son-in-law election meeting in a few days. Only by rescuing Qingmin first can we arrange to rescue Yu Xi from escaping.
Thinking of this, Zhang Liang hurriedly said to Chen Ping: "Brother Chen, can you bother you to find a way to inquire about what competitions there are, know yourself and know your opponent, so that you can not be defeated in a hundred battles!" ”
Chen Ping saw that Zhang Liang had restarted preparations to participate in the election of a son-in-law, and immediately replied happily: "Don't worry, I'll go and investigate." We're here to help you win! With that, he hurried away.
At this time, in Fan Zeng's house, the steward was reporting to Fan Zeng about the first round of selection during the day.
"Strategist, there are eighteen finalists today, and I believe there should be more tomorrow. There are a few young people who are good in appearance and talent have been unfortunately eliminated, don't you really plan to give them another chance? ”
Fan Zeng listened to the steward's words, shook his head casually and smiled: "Do you think my question is too weird." It's too cruel to those outstanding talents who are not selected? ”
The steward didn't dare to answer, but he did think so in his heart.
Seeing that he was speechless, Fan Zeng explained to himself: "In your opinion, those talents are very good. But it seems to me that they are all people who read dead books, and they don't know how to be flexible at all, and they don't have the wisdom to deal with things! The questions I give are either answered by brilliant people with great intelligence; Either it depends on whether your luck is better than that of others. Only one of the two is eligible to continue to participate in the following competition, if there is no wisdom compared to ordinary people, there is no luck. How can I have a chance to become Yu'er's minister in the future! ”
The steward was very puzzled by what Fan Zeng said, but he didn't dare to ask more. But he vaguely understood that the other party wanted to use this topic to find outstanding talents with outstanding wisdom.
"In this way, only three of the eighteen finalists today are the talents mentioned by the military advisor. Everyone else pretty much got by luck. ”
Fan Zeng heard that there were three people who relied on wisdom to solve difficult problems, and immediately became interested. "Tell me how those three people solved the problem and who they were!"
Seeing that Fan Zeng was quite interested in the finalists, the steward hurriedly bowed down and replied: "One is the prince Ang of the Wei State, his method is suspected of cheating, as soon as I finished talking about the rules, he laughed and said to the sergeant that he had guessed, and said that there were cracks in the box with objects. When the sergeant heard this, he hurriedly looked at the box containing the token. Who knew that this was exactly what he wanted, and he guessed the result in an instant. ”
Fan Zeng heard that the other party was able to solve the puzzle with ingenious tricks, and immediately smiled: "This is not a trick, but the son has a strategy, I have never heard of him, although this person has a lustful problem, but he is indeed a rare talent." To tell you the truth, I am most optimistic about him. ”
Hearing that Fan Zeng was optimistic about Gongzi Ang, the steward hurriedly said: "Military advisor, Gongzi Ang is certainly excellent, but the remaining two seem to be as good as him, and even according to their opinions, they are slightly stronger than him." ”
"Oh? What other talents? Say it quickly! The steward's words completely aroused Fan Zeng's interest. His eyes instantly shone through, and it was an infinite desire for talent!
"The second person is a disciple of Confucianism, named Liu Yu. This person is extremely elegant, quite like a Confucian man. He didn't ask the sergeant, but by observing the hand of the sergeant holding the box, he determined which brocade box it was! According to him, the weight of a box with a token is heavier than a box without a token, and even if the difference in the amount is negligible, when the sergeant holds it up, it will be different! But he didn't say anything about the differences, or how he observed them. ”
After Fan Zeng listened, he couldn't help but smile and nodded. "This son can stay in danger and observe more than ordinary people, which is indeed a rare talent. Very good! Very good! ”
Seeing that Fan Zeng also appreciated this person, the steward hurriedly asked, "Which of the two of them does the military advisor think is weaker or stronger?" Whose approach is more to your liking? ”
Hearing the steward's question, he replied casually: "Each has its own merits, and it is not equal." This method is already different, and it is too early to distinguish the strong and the weak at this time! ”
Fan Zeng's answer made the steward feel confused, but he followed up and strongly recommended a third person. "The last one is the descendant of the old master Zou Yan of the Yin and Yang family - Zou Yuan. He was the only one who used the question to try out a brocade box that actually contained objects. He ordered a random sergeant and asked him to answer which box the other sergeant would say, waiting for the sergeant to answer. He picked the opposite brocade box! ”
"Yin and Yang Family?" After listening to the steward's narration, Fan Zeng looked very excited. "The doctrine of the five virtues is very interesting, and I have also read Zou Zi's masterpiece. I didn't expect to attract his descendants. The method used by this son is the most in line with my heart. Good! If there is no accident, the candidate will be between the three of them. ”
Between Fan Zeng's words and the steward's words, the joy was overflowing. Even the steward couldn't help but be happy for Fan Zeng.
Late at night, Zhang Liang was still waiting for Chen Ping to return from the news. Just when he was a little tired, Chen Ping returned to the mansion out of breath. Without waiting for Zhang Liang to ask, Chen Ping hurriedly said: "Zhang Situ, the selection of sons-in-law this time is extremely strict. I only got the first one. I don't know what is going on. ”
Zhang Liang only knew one thing when he heard it, but he was also deeply pleased. After all, it's better than nothing! He hurriedly asked, "What is the first one?" ”
"Take! The first one is a joust! It is a question from the overlord. I heard that the finalists will be notified the day before the competition, so that they can prepare their own weapons, and if they don't have them, they can use the blades prepared by the palace. ”
Zhang Liang is not afraid of the competition, although he may not be Xiang Yu's opponent, his ordinary cat and dog meet him, he is still completely confident to solve it. It's just that his moves are too weird, and it is easy for Fan Zeng and Xiang Yu to see the clues. He had a headache about it.
After thinking about it for a long time, he suddenly had a plan. "Brother Chen, fortunately you found out this news, and I want to ask you to help me prepare a special blade."
As soon as he heard that Zhang Liang wanted to build a special weapon, Chen Ping replied casually: "No problem, Zhang Situ told me about the blade style, and I will order someone to build it quickly." ”
Zhang Liang immediately drew a sketch by hand, and then explained: "This is called Bagua Xuanhua Axe!" It is nine feet five inches long, and it should weigh sixty-four pounds, but I am enough to move, and I ask you to order the craftsman to consider it by himself and control it at more than thirty pounds. “
Chen Ping had never seen such a weapon before, and he was very interested in it. "Zhang Situ, I have never seen this thing, but the gossip pattern on this blade is very in line with the characteristics of yin and yang. I don't know how you use it? ”
Hearing Chen Ping ask how to use it, Zhang Liang smiled slyly: "I will make three moves with this axe." I still learned it from books. But it should be enough, even Xiang Yu, I'm afraid he will suffer the loss of these three tricks. ”
Knowing that Xiang Yu might also be difficult to resist the three moves in Zhang Liang's mouth, Chen Ping's interest became even stronger. "Quick, Zhang Situ, I have a long blade here, can you use it with an axe and show it to me?"
Seeing that Chen Ping's curiosity had reached the extreme, Zhang Liang had no choice but to take the halberd and demonstrate the three tricks in his mouth. After Chen Ping finished reading it, he exhaled exquisitely. "Zhang Situ, do these three moves have names?"
"Split your head! Ghost Pick Teeth! pluck your ears" (to be continued.) )
