Chapter 67
Formation Test
Author: Sibuqiu
Just when Chai Shao was about to enter the room to go to bed, there was a sudden coughing sound, and the nanny who came during the day stood far away at the door of the yard and waved to him.
Chai Shao ordered Chai Bao and walked towards Xu.
I heard Mrs. Xu say, "Master, please stay here. My young lady is not only talented and beautiful, she also likes to read Sun Wu's Art of War, Six Taoist Strategies and Three Strategies. She has delved deeply into its mysteries. I vow to marry a man who is talented in literature, martial arts and resourcefulness. My lady tonight."
I want to test and teach you the art of military formation."
Chai Shao couldn't help but said in surprise, "Young lady prefers the art of war? But she is a strange woman."
"Tonight, the lady will arrange the maids in a formation. If the young master knows the formation and breaks it, he will be able to harmonize the Qin and Jin Dynasties," Mrs. Xu said.
Chai Shao thought for a moment and said happily, "In that case, please wait a moment."
Mrs. Xu nodded.
Chai Shao asked Chai Bao to take out a pair of tie-sleeves from the house, tighten the silk sash around his waist, pick up the sword on the table, and asked Chai Bao to lock the door, and then followed Xu to the vegetable garden.
Behind the Guanyin Pavilion of Yongfu Temple, there is a huge deserted open space. In the distance is a high platform, which is tightly against the white wall behind the Guanyin Pavilion. There is a small door next to it for pedestrians to enter and exit.
Chai Shao found messy footprints on the ground and thought to himself, could this be where the young lady trained her troops?
After looking around, Chai Shao was about to move forward, but Xu held him back.
Seeing Mrs. Xu pointing to the two bamboo poles stuck on the ground in front of her, she said, "Miss, these two bamboo poles are the gates for this competition. Young Master, please wait here for a moment. When they get ready, Young Master will start to read the formation."
Break the formation."
Chai Shao nodded and called Chai Bao over to give some instructions.
I saw a woman walking out of the small door, with towering dark clouds. She wore an embroidered short coat, a wooden hairpin on her head, a forehead mask on her face, and a small flag in her hand, standing on the high platform.
Chai Shao asked Xu, "Is this Miss Tang Gong?"
Mrs. Xu shook her head and said, "How can my young lady be seen so easily? She is just the leader of the maids around the young lady and the female teacher responsible for training the troops. She is just sent out to set up the formation."
As soon as he finished speaking, the woman on the high platform raised the flag in her hand and waved it forward, and a pair of women appeared around them. They were dressed in red, white, green and yellow. They were both wearing headscarves and tied sleeves, holding bright hands.
Chai Shao counted them carefully and found that there were about twenty people.
The twenty women lined up in a row and set up a military formation. They saw the women circled to the left, then turned to the right and back, and then formed a straight line, circling uncertainly from left to right.
Xu looked at Chai Shao and asked, "Master, can you recognize this formation?"
Chai Shao couldn't help but chuckle, "It's just a long snake formation. The head of the snake is struck and the tail is echoed by the snake. The head of the snake is surrounded by the tail. The belly of the snake is struck from the beginning to the end. The beginning and the end are connected. It is endless. This formation set up by ordinary people can be blocked by hundreds of people.
Master of the Four Realms."
"How to break it?"
"Pull its head, pinch its tail, cut off its waist, and ignore the head and tail. This formation will be broken." Chai Shao said lightly, it is just the snake formation of Changshan. Anyone who is familiar with Sun Tzu's art of war will be familiar with it.
Mrs. Xu nodded and gestured to the woman on the high platform.
The woman on the high platform waved the command flag in her hand again, and immediately the women in the audience scattered from one row to the other, and then turned into five groups. One group of women in four colors, red, white, green and yellow, held swords.
Stand on your back.
Xu smiled and said, "Master Chai, do you recognize this formation?"
Chai Shao looked at it and said with a smile, "It's just the Five Flower Formation. Compared with the Snakes of Changshan, it's a lot more careful. If these women are in the second and third realms, capturing and killing the fourth realm is like chopping melons and vegetables. Sure enough, your lady
Unusual."
"Since you know this formation, you dare to go in and break it. Only when you come out can you see your ability, sir."
Chai Shao looked up to the sky and laughed, "What's so difficult about this? How could I, Chai Shao, be afraid of this mere array of women?"
After saying that, he lifted up the skirt of his clothes, tied it around his waist, drew his sword out of its sheath, passed through the gate and rushed towards the Wuhua Formation.
A ray of sword light came down on Chai Shao. Chai Shao raised his sword and faced him. The cyan zhengang flashed, but it overturned a group of women. Seeing this, the other women changed their shapes and circled around Chai Shao.
stand up.
The woman who fell to the ground did not moan. After getting up, the four of them formed a team again, climbed up and joined the battle group.
Chai Shao is a master of the four realms, how can he resist this group of women who have not entered the country? If he really kills them, let alone these twenty women, even forty women will only take a moment.
But after all, this is just a competition, not a life-and-death contest. If I kill a few of them myself, it will be difficult to report to Tang Gong, and if I offend the young lady, it will be more than worth the loss.
Among the women there was also a good hand at using locks. Whenever she was about to break the formation, she would throw the brocade rope in her hand into the air and use it to block her head.
Therefore, Chai Shao was a little timid and could only parry left and right, unable to break out of the encirclement.
In the attic behind the high platform, Li Xiuning looked at Chai Shao who was fighting left and right in the five-flower formation, and couldn't help frowning. The masters of the four realms already have a long breath. If they continue like this, when the maids' strength is exhausted, this
The Wuhua Formation will be destroyed without attack.
Just as he was about to let the women outside change their formations, he saw Chai Shao flying above him and rushing to the high platform.
The woman on the high platform was startled. She flipped the command flag in her hand, and four more women in soap clothes came out from behind. Chai Shao was immediately alert. These four women were all martial arts practitioners who had entered the country, plus the women below the stage.
They also came up to kill him, and the five-flower formation suddenly turned into a six-flower formation. With the addition of new troops, Chai Shao's pressure suddenly increased.
I was originally afraid of hands and feet, but now I couldn't use it. I hurriedly used the sword in my hand to protect my whole body, and fought and retreated. I was forced to step down from the high platform, and kept retreating towards the bamboo pole.
He was forced to cross the gate.
The six groups of women's sword formations were like six groups of flowers tightly surrounding Chai Shao.
Li Xiuning in the attic could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. He had made the right bet. Chai Shao did not dare to kill him, so I would not be polite.
In the Liuhua Formation, there were five women who dropped their single swords and threw them at Chai Shao with a red cotton noose in their hands. Chai Shao couldn't dodge for a moment and was caught in the noose. He was about to explode his true energy and shatter the noose, but
Seeing other women bullying him, Chai Shao had no choice but to disperse his true energy in order to prevent him from hurting these women. He could only keep dodging in an extremely small space.
Li Xiuning couldn't help but smile when she saw this. Even if you are as cunning as a ghost, you still want to drink my mother's foot-washing water, so what about the four realms? You are not the same as being plotted by me.
Just when he was feeling proud, he heard Chai Shao shouting, "Where is Chai Bao?"
When Chai Bao heard this, he quickly took out a paper tube from his arms, lit it on fire, and threw it in the air above the heads of the women.
There was a loud sound in the air, and suddenly the sky was filled with sparks, colorful, as if a brilliant flower had opened in the air.
The women had never seen such a thing before, and they were a little lost for a moment.
Li Xiuning also opened her beautiful eyes, full of disbelief, and couldn't help shouting, "Gan, fireworks?! This is unscientific!"
