I saw two pots of orchids in the wing, exuding a delicate fragrance, and the decoration was primitive, but it had a different charm. However, the brilliance in the wing was soon replaced by a veiled man with shooting stars in his eyes and a graceful figure. Beautifully dressed, the woman in goose-yellow clothes was attracted. When the veiled woman saw Ma Zhao, her eyes lit up, and a maidservant stood behind her. She was also very pretty, but there was a hint of arrogance in her eyes. Knowing that he comes from a wealthy family, when he saw Ma Zhao coming, he seemed to be aloof and arrogant because of his talent, but he also pretended to be nonchalant.
"You, Ma Zhao, think you are a bit talented, but you dare to neglect my young lady like this, do you know that?"
The maid was just speaking when suddenly Ma Zhao smiled, dressed in an orchid robe, beautiful in white light, and graceful. This smile was no less stunning than that of a stunning beauty. Seeing the maid become demented, the veiled woman was indifferent. Talk calmly
"Xiaolan can't be presumptuous"
"Yes, Miss"
The maid named Xiaolan responded obediently and stopped talking. Ma Zhao was also impudent and sat down opposite the veiled woman. He raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"I don't know if Miss Wang is here this time, but she wants to compete with Zhao. Essays versus poems, the winner is one point."
After hearing this, the veiled woman wrinkled her crescent-shaped eyebrows slightly. With just this movement, she was so stunningly beautiful that she felt pity for me. If this veil were taken off, she would be a peerless beauty!
"Young Master, I am a learned and talented little girl who is not your rival. However, these poems and poems were elegant in the peaceful and prosperous times, but now that the world is still in troubled times, they may not be of much use."
The veiled woman's eyes were shining with stars, and she was slightly arrogant, but it was different from that of Xiaolan. The veiled woman's arrogance was because of her literary and extraordinary talents. When Ma Zhao heard this, her smile became even brighter, as if she was shining with colored light. , said lightly
"Oh? I wonder what Miss Wang has to say? Zhao Ding is all ears."
"Nowadays, martial arts are popular in the world. I wonder if the young master would dare to compete with a little girl on formations and military tactics?"
The veiled woman seemed to be completely unmoved by Ma Zhao's charm. She said softly. Ma Zhao smiled inwardly and nodded slightly.
"It just so happens that Zhao Yi knows a little bit about this formation's magic and military science and dares to ask Miss Wang for advice!"
When the veiled woman heard this, she was also secretly happy. She had read a lot of books since she was a child, had a very strict upbringing, and was proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she especially loved formations, magic and military science. Her father had scolded her many times, but later, because of one person, he persuaded her. Father, when she thought of that person, she got what she wanted. The face of the veiled woman turned red, and she suddenly became extremely beautiful. Ma Zhao looked at it, frowned, and there was a hint of jealousy in his eyes. The veiled woman opened her small cherry mouth lightly, like an oriole. Xiaolan said something to Xiaolan and responded. When she passed by Ma Zhao, she did not forget to snort coldly. Xiaolan brought two strong men with her. At a glance, it was obvious that they were elite soldiers in disguise. Naturally, this cannot be hidden from Ma Zhao. The two men are holding a huge sand table in their hands. There are small flags and strange stones on the sand table. The strange stones are different and exquisitely made. At first glance, they vaguely seem to be arranging horses. Zhao's eyes lit up and he sighed.
¡°I don¡¯t know who made this sand table, but it is truly an ingenious workmanship!¡±
After the veiled woman heard that, the figure of the man flashed through her mind again, her eyes were shining brightly, and she answered softly.
"This is a soldier's basin. It was made by a little girl when she was eight years old. The little girl regards it as a treasure. Today I want to ask the young master for advice. I will not hesitate to use it. I hope the young master will be careful not to damage it."
From the words of the veiled woman, it can be seen that she has a special feeling for both the basin and the owner who built it. Ma Zhao felt as if there was a fire in his belly, and his competitive spirit was aroused. Said in a condensed voice
"Such a rare thing, Zhao will naturally be careful to protect it. I think Miss Wang must be very familiar with this basin. This seems unfair to Zhao. Forgive Zhao for being presumptuous. If Zhao is lucky enough to win, can Miss Wang tell me his full name?"
"You are a prodigal son. Who is my lady? How can you be so presumptuous!?"
After hearing this, Xiaolan was extremely unhappy. She pointed her finger at Ma Zhao to yell at him. The veiled woman had a gentle face and looked at Ma Zhao indifferently, but she responded softly.
"It doesn't matter, after this fight, the young lady will be like strangers to the young master, so it doesn't matter if she leaves her name."
As soon as Ma Zhao heard this, there was a faint change on his face. The veiled woman seemed not to want to say any more. After speaking, she made a gesture of invitation. As her clothes moved, her ice muscles and jade bones were slightly exposed, and her snow-white and crystal-clear skin was filled with a faint glow. Seeing the bursts of red color made Ma Zhao pale for a moment, and he quickly regained his composure. Ma Zhao had always behaved freely, and rarely did he act like this. Perhaps the veiled woman's words just now made Ma Zhao confused. After the veiled woman explained the rules to Ma Zhao, , the two of them then each took a position for a moment, using strange stones as soldiers, each took a position. The veiled woman looked at Ma Zhao's stone formation, her eyes were quite startled, and she said in slight shock
"What a neat formation of five tigers and sheep!"
"AhWhat's the point of trivial skills? Miss Wang¡¯s four-door pocket array is also extraordinary! "
Ma Zhao smiled calmly, and the veiled woman stopped being surprised. After the two looked at each other, the veiled woman made a gesture of invitation to Ma Zhao again. Ma Zhao then reached out and grabbed a basin beside the sand table, and took out a wooden stick with the words " The word "ÈÕ" turns out that the owner of the sand table also took into account the changes in climate. The word "ÈÕ" on this line means that the climate of the Bingpen is a sunny day with sunshine.
"This sign is neither good nor bad"
Ma Zhao smiled slightly, and after exchanging glances with the veiled woman, he began to play with the strange stones on the basin. The veiled woman did not neglect, and also began to swing the stone array. This contest lasted for nearly several hours, and Ma Zhao was always She looked calm, but the veiled woman's dark eyebrows were wrinkled and tighter. Ma Zhao's Five Tigers and Sheep Formation was an attacking formation, and now they had entered the veiled woman's four-door pocket formation. The formation looked messy to the veiled woman. They were trying to save each other by making changes, but Ma Zhao was not only very good at the Five Tigers and Herds of Sheep Formation, he was also familiar with the Four-Door Pocket Formation. He restrained the changes in the formation one by one, and the veiled woman's stars were flowing. Suddenly, the formation changed. , Qishi gathered together, but he wanted to retreat in order to advance. Ma Zhao said "Hey", this step hid murderous intent, if he attacks rashly, the situation will change immediately, and he will definitely lose.
"What a strange woman! If I see through her plan, she will probably become suspicious"
Ma Zhao made up his mind, swung the strange stone, attacked first on both wings, and responded in the middle. The two wings of the rear army remained motionless. The face of the veiled woman changed, and finally she sighed and said silently.
"It's the little girl who lost"
"Hehe Cheng Rang, Cheng Rang Zhao made a mistake and got lucky again!"
Ma Zhao smiled brightly, as if he didn't care at all about this victory. The veiled woman's eyes tightened, and there were bursts of brilliance in her eyes. This Ma Zhao was not only knowledgeable and talented, but also handsome, personable, and a man of great talent. I am afraid that the woman who is looking for her has already fallen in love with Ma Zhao, and she is almost obsessed with it. The veiled woman was born in a wealthy family, and she is also a rare and strange woman in the world. In addition, she already has a crush on Ma Zhao, so she only admires Ma Zhao. Ma Zhao is not an arrogant person, but also Well aware of his own charm, he thought that after spending so many days together, he would be impressed by the veiled woman and fall in love with him. However, what surprised Ma Zhao was that the veiled woman did not seem to have any interest in him and only listened to him. The veiled woman opened her small cherry mouth, stood up slowly, bowed briefly, and said
"The young master is too modest. The young woman has been studying this weapon since she was a child. The young master is more talented than the young woman. The young woman is convinced that she is defeated. In the past few days, whether it is poems, poems, or formations and military science, the young master is better than the young woman." It can be seen that the young master is a genius in this world, it is really a pity to stay here in Zuixian Tower."
When Ma Zhao heard this, his heart moved, but he shook his head and smiled lightly.
"Zhao is no more than an idle cloud and a crane. He is accustomed to becoming an official without restraint, but he has not considered it for the time being. It is a pity that Miss Wang's talent is not inferior to Zhao's, and she has the ambition to serve the country. If she were a man"
There was something in Ma Zhao¡¯s words. After hearing this, the veiled woman¡¯s expression changed slightly. It seemed that Ma Zhao had spoken to her heart. However, the veiled woman soon came back to her senses and replied quickly.
"If a woman has no talent, she must be virtuous enough to get acquainted with the young master. It is indeed a honor for the little girl. It is already late, so I say goodbye."
As soon as the veiled woman saluted, she was about to take a step away from Ma Zhao, and faintly blocked the direction in which the veiled woman was leaving. The veiled woman frowned, and the maid Xiaolan wanted to yell at her. At this time, Ma Zhao smiled and said
¡°I¡¯m sorry for the Tangtu beauty, but I wonder if Miss Wang can leave her name?¡±
After hearing this, the slightly displeased look on the veiled woman gradually faded away. After all, the two of them had made a bet earlier. The veiled woman was not arrogant and refused to admit defeat. She even refused to tell anyone her name. Just replied softly
"The little girl's name is Yuan Ji"
"Wang Yuanji?"
Ma Zhao murmured silently in his heart, then smiled happily, stepped aside, Wang Yuanji bowed, and left quietly with Xiaolan. Not long after, the two big men came in and moved the basin away. Ma Zhao looked at it curiously. Eyes, slander in the heart
"I don't know who made this basin, so I'll take a divination and see."
After thinking about it, Ma Zhao sat back on the seat he had just sat in, took out the Sixty-Four Hexagrams of Zhouyi and fiddled with it for a while, Ma Zhao showed a satisfied smile and murmured:
"According to this hexagram, I will definitely meet the owner of the basin soon. This is really exciting."
I don¡¯t know how long it had passed, but footsteps could be heard in the corridor made of red sandalwood outside the wing. Ma Zhao said in a low voice with a bit of regret.
"Has Miss Wang left?"
"Yes, I saw Miss Wang leaving in a hurry, and her maid seemed a bit resentful. It seems that Yuan Ji, the famous and talented queen in Chang'an, is far from the second master's rival."
I heard that person¡¯s voice was steady and loud, it was Ma Guang
