Chapter 22 Miscalculation and Distress
Ma Chao asked for a plum garden for the old man Wang Bo, and although it was winter, it was not the time for the plum blossoms to bloom. Even Old Man Wang Bo didn't know what Ma Chao wanted this garden, what was he doing?
However, because Wang Zitang was going to learn art here, the subordinates still arranged it. Wang Wu followed Ma Chao and couldn't help but sigh at the exquisite and gorgeous room.
Wang Wu said, what kind of martial arts do you practice like this? He also said that martial arts training must have a strong will, and this comfortable environment must have ruined the temperament.
Ma Chao smiled lightly, not like Wang Wu's face full of dark clouds. Tell Wang Wu, can you teach Wang Zitang to win Wang Ziyu in a month? Wang Wuli ignored Ma Chao and treated him as a layman's nonsense. Ma Chao saw Wang Wu's reaction, so he asked Wang Wu to explain.
Wang Wu said that people who practice martial arts are divided into internal kung fu and external kung fu. This Wang Ziyu has been practicing hard since he was a child, patting rice grains and mung beans with his hands every day, and now he has even changed to iron sand. also said that Wang Ziyu, this palm can break a tree with a thick bowl mouth.
Ma Chao smiled when he heard this, and said, Fortunately, it is a tree, if you go down with one palm to eliminate half of the mountain, it is really useless to use any scheme.
Wang Wu said that now is not the time to laugh, Wang Zitang has been practicing hard for a month, whether he can stop Wang Ziyu and hang all at once, it is impossible to defeat Wang Ziyu.
Ma Chao said that he found a way to defeat Wang Ziyu in a month. Wang Wu said with a bitter face that he had no choice. Ma Chao patted Wang Wu on the shoulder and said that he didn't let you teach. Wang Wu also wondered when he heard this, after all, it was he who assassinated King Zhen, and he suspected that Ma Chao was normal, because he knew Ma Chao's true strength.
Before Wang Wu could speak, Ma Chao said again, not only did he not let Wang Wu teach, but also let Wang Wu not get close to the plum garden within a month. It's best to go out for a walk and come back in a month.
Wang Wu said, how can it be done, if King Yu secretly tempted, Ma Chao would not even have a chance to fight back. Ma Chao said that King Yu would not choose to do it at this time, and it would not be good for him.
This time, Ma Chao was really wrong.
The next day, Ma Chao generously moved into the plum garden and conducted secret training for Wang Zitang. Originally, there were some people in Meiyuan, but they were all dismissed, and Mo Yu was the only one to come in to deliver food.
Even Old Man Wang Bo doesn't know what medicine is sold in Ma Chao's gourd? Don't look at this plum garden, don't let people in, the horses have gone in a lot, the horses are walking around in the plum forest, some people are secretly lying on the wall to watch, most of the time, Ma Chao is touching the horse's neck and closing his eyes to meditate. The young master of Wang Zitang rode on a horse, wearing a pair of big gloves made of skin, riding a horse, and struggling to clean up the horse manure in the ground.
In the evening, Ma Chao came out with Wang Zitang, who would drink today and watch flowers tomorrow, but became a frequent visitor to Chunhualou, which is a well-known green building in Huining Mansion.
The reason why Ma Chao did this was to make Wang Ziyu completely unaware of what he was going to do. also guessed that this Wang Ziyu would test himself, so he waited for Wang Ziyu to test him.
After a few days of training like this, people are spreading that the prince's hall is ten times better than that day.
Wang Ziyu also got the news that Ma Chao and the Oiran of Chunhualou have had a close personal relationship recently. Wang Ziyu seemed to like Oiran Xueyue, so he asked King Yu if he wanted to test King Yu, but King Yu went by himself.
Chunhualou has an Oiran who sells his art but does not sell his body, his stage name is Xueyue, this Xueyue is beautiful, and in the mud of Chunhualou, he still has a good character.
King Yu deliberately came to Chunhua Building in disguise, and saw Ma Chao and Xueyue on the second floor from a distance, Ma Chao's voice was loud, and he could hear it clearly downstairs.
I only heard Ma Chao say: "The snow moon is rare, and the colorful moon is easy to disperse." The heart is higher than the sky, and the body is low. The merry and clever attract resentment, and the amorous son is empty. ”
Xue Yue, who was sitting next to her, didn't know if she understood, and she didn't have her usual cold appearance at all.
King Yu walked up to the second floor, Ma Chao saw that it was King Yu, and hurriedly walked over, King Yu whispered, in the land of wind and moon, this gift will be waived. Ma Chao ushered King Yu to the table.
Ma Chao originally wanted to attract Wang Ziyu, stimulate him with words, and get an agreement like a one-trick appointment, so that he would be better controlled at that time, but he didn't expect that King Yu was coming.
Ma Chao's greeting, Xueyue understood that the suave person in front of her was a big man, so she gave a slight courtesy, brought a cup of tea to King Yu, said a few words with an attitude, took a sister's hand, and left politely. Ma Chao looked at King Zhen and knew that King Zhen was reluctant, if he showed his identity, this Xueyue would not dare to leave if he had the courage to go. Ma Chao knew that Wang Bi refused to reveal his identity, so he handed over a glass of wine and summoned the old bustard to call a beautiful girl to accompany him.
Ma Chao asked King Yu in a low voice why he came, and King Yu said that it was a coincidence. also said that Wang Ziyu recently looked for him and wanted to be the head of the Wang family. King Yu wanted Ma Chao not to be an enemy of Wang Ziyu, and also said that Ma Chao was a talent, and if he was willing to follow him, he would definitely be in a high position.
Ma Chao laughed, saying that he was a horse doctor, and King Yu was promoted. The king didn't say much, so he knocked on the teacup. Ma Chao understood what King Yu meant, smiled embarrassedly, muttered in his mouth, and had no choice but to ask the prince to let him live.
Ma Chao lowered his head, his intentions were insincere. His eyes were dripping and he was looking at it casually, and suddenly he saw a cold light. Cold arrows? Ma Chao's first thought was this, so he shouted to King Yu to be careful, and got under the table.
King Yu frowned, and glanced at Ma Chao, who was lying under the table with a sad face. The owner of this cold light is actually a guard under King Yu, who is good at bows and arrows, especially cold arrows.
I don't know how many masters died under the arrows of this archer. The archer is a rare shadow assassin in the Kingdom of Jin. This time, in order to deal with Ma Chao, this archer was specially transferred from the frontier. Originally, this archer was secretly dealing with the stumbling blocks on the way to the throne, but King Yu was afraid of losing his life, so he brought it over to deal with Ma Chao.
Ma Chao was really scared for a while, but when he saw that King Yu was still sitting dignified and steady, drinking tea without hurry, Ma Chao knew that this person should be sent by King Yu to deal with him. At this time, if Ma Chao was timid, he would be killed by piercing his throat on the spot. Gritting his teeth, Ma Chao fluttered on the gray marks on his pants and sat down generously.
Ma drank tea in a big gulp, looking exaggerated, and patted his little heart from time to time. King Yu chuckled, but he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Ma Chao's gourd? He took a deep breath, waved his hand into the distance, and gave up the mission.
However, King Yu was also afraid that Ma Chao would suddenly poison him, so he asked Ma Chao: "Didn't you put your own guard, the killer at that time." ”
Ma Chao laughed and said that he was here to drink and chant poetry today.
The king said to listen to him.
Ma Chao picked up the teacup, moistened his throat, shook his head, and said slowly: "When the fake is true, the truth is also false, and there is nowhere to do nothing." This sentence is very philosophical, true and false, existence and non-existence, full of dialectical artistic conception, making people unclear about true and false.
When King Yu heard the truth or falsehood, he thought that Ma Chao had seen through it, and he dismissed the shadow assassin, so he broke out in a cold sweat at the moment, quietly wiped off the sweat, and said goodbye to Ma Chao.
Ma Chaomu saw King Yu leave, and quickly took a few breaths, regretting that he had taken Wang Wu away.
