54. The power of the family
"Lord Wang, how is it now? I'm afraid this array will be difficult to break! Liu Qingyin's brows were deeply locked. To break this formation. You must first know what kind of formation this is. Ning Qiwei pursed her lips and said. Lord Wang, there is a vague feeling of humility, which seems to be a bit like the Six Flowers Array created and researched by Li Jing in the Tang Dynasty. Liu Qingyin suddenly realized.
"Six Flower Array! Seems a little impressed. "Ning Qiwei suddenly realized: when reading the four famous novels in modern society, she once read a scene of Zhu Wu breaking the Six Flowers Array in the Water Margin." Lord Wang, what's wrong? Liu Qingyin asked. Oh, the six-flower array is not made by using the five formations of square array, circular array, curved array, vertical array, and sharp array. According to the combination of the calculation, twenty-five different combinations can be obtained. These twenty-five formations can be used interchangeably in the same array. Ning Qiwei smiled: Those famous books were not read in vain.
"Oh, my lord, what combinations, calculations, and methods do you say, why haven't I heard of these? The formation of the Six Flowers Formation has been read before. Liu Qingyin's face was full of confusion. Well, you can ignore them, and the plan for now is to find the eight formations of the eight-eighty-sixty-four formations. "Ning Qiwei vaguely remembered that Zhu Wu in the Water Margin said that to crack the Six Flowers Array, you need to use the Eight Formations." Eight formations? The Six Flower Formation is a variation from the Eight Formations. But the Eight Formations have long been lost. Liu Qingyin said.
"Lost? When was this? Ning Qiwei said in astonishment. Oh, yes! It is not clear exactly when it was, but it was lost by the time of the present dynasty. Liu Qingyin said with a frown. The only formation that could be cracked was lost again. Hey! How good is that? Ning Qiwei looked worriedly at the orderly array of enemy formations.
"No, we must find the Eight Formations, otherwise we will be besieged for a long time. Changzhou can't afford to lose business travel. Ning Qiwei gritted her teeth secretly. How do I find it! Liu Qingyin said lightly. So be it! In my name, I have prepared a reward notice: Anyone who is familiar with the Eight Formations can come to the palace. If we can provide the correct eight formations for us to break the enemy's array, we will be immediately promoted to the fifth level and the bounty will be 1,000 taels. Ning Qiwei said indifferently.
"Lord Wang, does this really work?" Liu Qingyin said worriedly. "If you don't try, you'll know you can't do it." Ning Qiwei smiled lightly. "Okay." Liu Qingyin turned and left.
"Lord Wang, a large number of people gathered in front of the mansion said that they were here to offer a reward for the Eight Formations." The guard hurried into the study. "Oh, where? Take me to see it. Ning Qiwei was rummaging through the materials on the art of war, and when she heard this, she quickly stood up. In front of the house. The guard hurriedly said. Let's go, let's see. Ning Qiwei bypassed the bookcase and walked out the door.
As soon as Ning Qiwei walked to the living room, she heard a commotion coming from outside the mansion door. One voice is higher than the other. Ning Qiwei walked out of the living room quickly and ran past the second door. Ning Qiwei saw from a distance that the gate was full of people, and it was still increasing. The increased number of people continued to pour into the palace gate, looking at the posture, as if the first defense of the palace could be broken at any time.
Wow, that's an exaggeration, isn't it just a bounty notice! It attracted so many people. Unexpected. Ning Qiwei secretly complained in her heart. Ning Qiwei stepped forward hard, and she walked quickly to the door of the mansion. "Let's get it." Ning Qiwei tried to push away the crowd that was frantically pushing into the door of the mansion. "A reward of thousands of gold, the official is promoted to the fifth level. Such a good thing is rare once in a century. First come, first served. I won't let it. The shout came from the crowd.
"Everybody give way. I am the prince. You're all here to offer a reward! Ning Qiwei said indifferently. You are the prince, hurry up and catch him, and we can be promoted to the fifth level, a thousand taels of gold. There were several shouts from the crowd. Suddenly, the crowd began to riot. People are crazy and usually flock to the door. Wow, wow, that's crazy, isn't it? Ning Qiwei couldn't help but take a step back.
"Wow, that's so lively! What is the holiday today? So many people came to congratulate them. Ling Yun walked up to Ning Qiwei with a smile on his face. Go away, go away, the door is about to collapse. You've got time to laugh around here. Ning Qiwei said with a frown. Who asked you to give a thousand taels of gold, such tempting conditions for official promotion to the fifth level. Ling Yun smiled lightly.
"If the reward is not exaggerated, how can anyone come?" Ning Qiwei said with regret. "Hehe... Wei'er, you're asking for your own suffering. Ling Yun smiled. You, if only you could help! If not, go to the side and cool off. "Ning Qiwei was furious." I'm here to help. If you don't want to, forget it. Ling Yun pretended to turn around and leave, and said with a light smile.
"Wait. Cloud, you have a way, don't you? Ning Qiwei hurriedly grabbed Ling Yun. There are ways to do it, but what are you going to exchange for? Ling Yun grinned. Exchange? So be it! You take it all away. A thousand taels of gold, and the official promotion to the fifth level will all belong to you. Ning Qiwei said with a smile. Gold, but you can consider it. Then he was removed from office. Ling Yun waved his hand.
"Well, whatever you say is what you say! Hurry up and get them all away. Ning Qiwei's face was full of sincerity. However, I think it helped me so much! Just such a small reward is too little. Lingyun thought with his chin in his hands. You're not saying you don't want to be promoted to the fifth level, what more do you want? Hurry up, the doors of the house are about to collapse. Ning Qiwei looked at the people who had poured into the mansion and said anxiously.
"Well, this, I'm going to think about it. Ling Yun said unhurriedly. "Can you hurry up?" Ning Qiwei grabbed Ling Yun's arm tightly and said. "No hurry, no hurry, a once-in-a-century good thing. I'm going to plan well. Ling Yun smiled lightly. What else are you planning! I'm out of the way: I'll be shopping and eating with you for a hundred days. You can eat whatever you want. Okay, right? Ning Qiwei said with a gloomy face.
"Hehe... Or does Valle know what I want? All right! In a word. A hundred days you are at my disposal. Ling Yun smiled. Alright, alright, get them out of here. I was annoyed when I looked at it. Ning Qiwei said in frustration. Hehe... Look at mine. Ling Yun smiled lightly and walked towards the crowd surging at the gate of the mansion. Let one go, let one go. Ling Yun said as he squeezed into the crowd.
Strange to say, where Ling Lingyun went, the restless crowd eased down, and he got out of the way. Ling Yun walked in front of everyone, stretched out his hand and slapped it gently, and the person automatically walked towards the door of the mansion. An hour later, tranquility finally returned to the front of the palace.
"Hey! Exhausted! This time it's a big loss of vitality. Eat more to make up for it. "Sitting at the coffee table in the living room, holding three chicken legs in his right hand and one chicken leg in his left hand, Ling Yun shouted with his mouth full of stuffing." Eat! Eat! Don't disturb my thinking. Ning Qiwei propped her arm on the coffee table and said with her chin propped up.
"Lord Wang, there is a person outside who claims to be the richest man in Changzhou, Wen Yufeng, asking to see him." The housekeeper hurriedly walked in from outside the door and said. "Wen Yufeng? How did he come! Ning Qiwei stood up and wondered. Well, let's get him in first! Ning Qiwei said to Jiading. Be! The family answered, and turned to leave. What did he come to do? Ning Qiwei's heart was foggy.
After a while, the family came into the living room with Wen Yufeng, who was dressed in a gray robe. "Master Wen, how can you have the leisure to come to the door today? Rare, rare. Ning Qiwei smiled, her tone full of politeness. Lord, don't you welcome me! Wen Yufeng had a smile like a spring breeze on his face, but there was a hint of loss in his eyes. Hehe... Welcome! Welcome! Mr. Wen, please be seated! Ning Qiwei pointed to the pear blossom wood chair opposite and said politely.
"Okay." Wen Yufeng didn't shirk, walked to the chair and sat down. "Go pour a cup of tea." Ning Qiwei said to the family who was still standing in place. "No need. I don't drink tea. Wen Yufeng said lightly. Oh, then you go get busy! Ning Qiwei glanced at Wen Yufeng, turned her head and said to Jiading.
"Master Wen, I don't know what happened today?" Ning Qiwei sat on the original chair and asked casually. "Oh, I suddenly wanted to come and see it." Wen Yufeng looked at Ning Qiwei, as if he didn't know her. "Oh, I see. That's sorry. Recently, the house has been busy, so I'm afraid I won't have time to receive you for too long. Ning Qiwei smiled faintly and said.
"Well, I didn't come at the right time. All right! Originally, I wanted to give you the eight-formation diagram of breaking the formation. Now it seems that it is not needed. Wen Yufeng stood up and said lightly. The formation diagram of the Eight Formations? Where is it? Ning Qiwei quickly got up from her chair. You're still most concerned about that. Wen Yufeng's eyes were full of loneliness. Eh, can you show me the formation diagram of the Eight Formations? Ning Qiwei smiled lightly and changed the topic.
"Here you go. But it's not the original manuscript of history, it's a drawing of the Eight Formations that I saw by chance, drawn with the only remaining memory. Hope it helps. Wen Yufeng took out a neatly folded handful of paper from his arms. Oh, okay. Ning Qiwei stepped forward slowly and took the paper in Wen Yufeng's hand.
"Alright! I'm leaving! Wen Yufeng turned around and walked to the door, and said lightly. Wait a minute! Wen Gongzi. Ning Qiwei suddenly thought of something, and she hurriedly shouted. Oh, what else? Wen Yufeng stopped, turned around, and asked. I offered a reward of 1,000 taels of gold, and the official was promoted to the fifth level to seek the eight formations that broke the formation. Now that you have sent the Eight Formations, these bounties should belong to you. Ning Qiwei smiled indifferently and said.
"Hehe... You keep it! If I'm here for those things. Needless to say, I'll chase you myself. Wei'er, so self-cherished. I'm leaving. Wen Yufeng smiled faintly and turned to leave. Drink! There is such a person. Ning Qiwei smiled, turned to Ling Yun who was gnawing on chicken legs and said.
