In the blink of an eye, Fang Zhongjin has been sitting in the Xie Mansion for more than a month. These days, because of the rebels of Yan Wang Zhu Di, even the capital began to panic. Recently, the government government issued a notice: the curfew in the capital will be reopened, and idlers are not allowed to wander around the streets after the end of the day. Fang Zhongjin was invited by the old man to live in Xie Mansion temporarily.

For more than a month, Xie Liang was depressed for five or six days, and then he was willing to read some books. Fang Zhongjin did not teach him to read the Four Books and the Five Classics step by step. I only accompany him to read some idle books such as the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, and read a book of soldiers together every few days. Fortunately, Master Xie turned a blind eye to this and never asked about his homework.

After teaching Xie Liang's homework on this day, Fang Zhongjin wandered around the Xie Mansion Garden alone. The garden of Xie Mansion covers a large area, Fang Zhongjin has come to play a few times, and today as soon as he enters the garden, he feels that the furnishings in the garden are different from the past, there are many potted flowers and trees that are not available on weekdays, and they are scattered in the garden, which has a unique flavor. He didn't notice anything wrong at first, but after a few steps, he knew something was wrong. He had now entered the center of the garden, and looked around at the potted plants around him. He'd made several turns, and now he couldn't tell which direction was the entrance.

Fang Zhongjin thought to himself, could this be a labyrinth? He carefully recalled the way he came, and suddenly began to walk like a fly, but after taking a few steps, he realized that what he was facing was not a labyrinth but a formation. If you blindly follow the route in your memory, you will never be able to get out. He raised his eyes and saw the sun in the sky, and after taking a few steps in the direction of the sun, he felt that there was no way to go but to turn. He pondered the path he had traveled and formed a map in his mind. As the map gradually became clearer, Fang Zhongjin found that this was a formation deduced according to the Nine Palaces Bagua Diagram. He secretly calculated in his heart, did not look at the surrounding scenery, and only walked for a cup of tea according to what he thought in his heart, and the garden cave door suddenly appeared in front of him.

At this time, there stood a thin woman in front of the door, about eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing a crescent-colored Confucian skirt. Although the woman was delicate, she was too thin. The face was a little fairer, a little ruddy, and it looked like a wicker that could be broken at any time.

I saw the woman say: "Sir, it's really amazing, this flower array was set up by my young lady to play." You're just so good at cracking it. ”

Fang Zhongjin clenched his fists and said, "I'm ashamed." ”

"Mr. Fang was able to get out so easily, but what was missing in this flower array?"

"This flower array should be deduced according to Zhuge Liang's eight-array diagram, interlocking, mutually reinforcing, and there is nothing missing. It's just that I have also worked the Eight Array Diagram for a while, so I know. ”

The woman made a sudden realization outfit, and said with a smile: "It seems that the missing thing is that it was not created by my young lady." There are many people in the world who have seen the Eight Array Diagrams. As long as you know the Eight Arrays, you can't get trapped in any of them, and it's really useless. ”

The woman thought for a moment and then asked, "I heard my son-in-law say a few days ago that it is easy for Mr. to break the Sancai Formation. I wonder if you can give me some advice?"

Fang Zhongjin said: "It is indeed easy to break the Sancai Formation, but it is also difficult to climb to the sky. The Sancai Array took advantage of the endless flow of situation to overwhelm the enemy. If two armies are facing each other, it is indeed difficult to deal with the formation of three teams forming a three-talent formation, and switching back and forth in the formation to consume the enemy's strength. However, if you want the army to run without deforming, the pace of a thousand people is like one person, which is a great test of the general's skills. If you are an enemy with it, you only need to take advantage of the gap between his change of formation to attack it unprepared, and wait for work. As a result, his constant flow became exhausted. ”

The woman silently pondered Fang Zhongjin's words. Fang Zhongjin said again: "But to see when is the gap and how to command the warriors under his command to instantly attack the weak point, this is something that cannot be achieved without more than ten years of experience in leading troops." ”

The woman smiled, and the look in her eyes suddenly shone like a sky full of stars. She was like a touch of weak tooth white, but because of this smile, it turned into a warm and translucent moonlight. She said: "No wonder Mr. said that it was difficult and easy, it was really slippery." It is extremely simple to be an immortal, as long as you practice your skills extremely high and can withstand the catastrophe. ”

Fang Zhongjin also smiled. The woman suddenly asked again: "When there is chaos today, the swallow thief has become more and more courageous. Most of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty did not care, believing that the Yangtze River would definitely be able to stop the rebels. As long as it lasts until the next winter, the Yan army will be self-defeating due to lack of food and medicine. And how does that gentleman see the situation today?"

Fang Zhongjin is usually a cautious person, but for some reason looking at this woman's translucent eyes, he really wanted to dissect everything in his heart to her, it seemed that she was the person who could understand herself best in the world.

"The first emperor thought that he was decisive in killing, and made the world settle with his own strength, and then he only needed to choose a benevolent and righteous son of heaven to give the people's livelihood to rest, and he could continue the inheritance of eternity. But this world is ......," Fang Zhongjin sighed and said, "In the end, there is still no big decision." If the current saint can see through this verse as soon as possible, he will withdraw the decree not to harm the life of King Yan. Perhaps the generals on the front line will still have room to maneuver. Now I'm tied, ......"

The woman's eyes flashed with brilliance, and she quickly restrained her expression and said, "Sir is indeed a talented person. If the lord leads you to meet a guest tonight, you must be careful with your answer, and don't tell you all about what you think now. Don't ask me why, I don't know too much, I just know that the other party is not a good person. He turned around and was about to leave.

Fang Zhongjin looked deeply at the woman's back: "Thank you, Miss Xie, for reminding her." ”

The woman smiled back and said, "I can't hide it from you." Saying that, Tingting walked away in a curling way, like a crescent moon gradually disappearing into the clouds.
