Ever since she was young, she had never been mocked like this. She could not accept it. As such, she wanted revenge. Revenge.
"I want to kill him!" The girl raged. This was the first time she was so angry.
The youth shook his head when he saw her angry expression. He could not bear to hurt her, but he had to remind her of a bloody fact.
"But you can't beat him, he is already in the Heavenly Reflection State!"
"..." The girl's pink lips parted slightly. She had another first experience, a deep sense of helplessness. "Yes, Fang Zhengzhi is in the Heavenly Reflection State. How can someone like him reach that state?!"
"Shameless, scum. Even if I have to bite him, I will bite him to death!" The girl clenched her fists. Even if she could not win, she had other methods. For example, she could scratch, scratch, bite... as long as she could make Fang Zhengzhi suffer, she would do anything.
"Bite?" The youth looked at the girl's cherry lips and sighed. "You probably won't be able to bite him either!"
"Ninth Brother, you... why are you siding with an outsider!" A misty mist rose in the girl's clear eyes, and it seemed that tears would fall at any time.
The youth could not bear to see this. It seemed like he had spoken too harshly.
"Alright, don't cry. Brother Jiu will apologize to you."
"If you want to apologize, give me your Purple Lightning Dragon Stallion!"
"Then forget it."
"Can I borrow it for a month?"
"No."
"Half a month? Seven days... three days, one day!!! "
"I can't even give you two hours. Everyone in the Flame Capital City knows about you. Do you think you can get anything back after it is in your hands?" The young man smiled and turned to leave.
He left the girl stamping her feet. "Fang Zhengzhi, you caused me to lose my Purple Lightning Dragon Stallion. I will make you pay for this! Hang on... my White Snow! "
...
White Snow was ridden by Fang Zhengzhi. Even though it was not very obedient at the start, but... This was not a problem for Fang Zhengzhi. After a few whips, even the most ferocious horse would submit.
Fang Zhengzhi rode on White Snow while White Snow's eyes were filled with tears.
Snow Jade was the king of horses. White Snow was born with the noblest bloodline and could sense the wind in all living things. This gave it another name, Traceless Snow Treading, even if it was running on the snow one foot behind it. He could also leave no trace behind.
Everyone who obtained it viewed it as a treasure and held it in the palm of their hands. When had they ever suffered such grievances?
What made it even more aggrieved was that the person riding on it seemed to be prepared to sell it …
"Hey brother, do you know where the horse market is?" Fang Zhengzhi rode on White Snow and asked a youth dressed like a peddler.
The youth was stunned when he saw Fang Zhengzhi's Snow Jade. This was the king of horses, the Snow Jade!
"East … there's a horse market in the east!" The youth did not know who Fang Zhengzhi was, but anyone who could ride the Snow Jade was not someone he could afford to offend.
"Thank you!" Fang Zhengzhi waved his hand and the money flew out.
The young man was overjoyed and immediately caught it with both hands. Then, he discovered that there was a tattered copper coin lying in his palms … Waves surged in his heart. Isn't this a little too generous?
…
The horse market in the east was bustling. Flame Capital City. There were countless officials and nobles who came to the capital to trade horses. After all, the people here were rich.
Fang Zhengzhi rode on White Snow to the horse market. The excitement was many times greater than before.
"Wow, it's the Snow Jade!"
"It really is the Snow Jade! Someone is selling it?!"
All of the peddlers were excited when they heard that Fang Zhengzhi wanted to sell the Snow Jade. This was a favorite item of the nobles.
"10,000 silvers!"
"Are you trying to bully me? Kid, I'll pay 15,000! "
"Move aside. 30,000 silvers, we can trade now! "
"50,000, I'll pay 50,000!"
Before long, Fang Zhengzhi sold the Snow Jade for a total of 68,888 silvers. It was a very auspicious number.
The person who got the Snow Jade was a rich man. His eyes were small, but he was well dressed. He was obviously from a wealthy family.
He caressed the Snow Jade as he watched Fang Zhengzhi leave. He sneered, "Selling a stalk of Snow Jade for less than 70,000 silvers? What a fool! Now, let's see how the Wang Family's Young Master can act so arrogantly in front of me. Snow Jade, I want to show them what it means to be the king of horses! "
…
Fang Zhengzhi knew that he had made a loss, but he did not mind. Some things could not be kept in the palm of his hands. Turning them into silver was the way to go.
He had gotten a gold ingot and earned over 60,000 silvers. He was in a good mood. He decided to treat Yan Xiu to a good meal.
Thus, he hummed a song again and walked slowly in the direction of the inn …
…
There was a soldier standing beside the young girl.
The soldier's expression was one of shock. He could clearly see the rage and coldness in the young lady's eyes.
"You're saying that Fang Zhengzhi sold my Snow Jade?!" The young lady did not expect Fang Zhengzhi to sell the Snow Jade so quickly.
"Yes!" The soldier's body was trembling.
"How much did you sell it for?"
"I think it was about 60,000 silvers …"
"Selling my Snow Jade for only sixty thousand taels of silver? What a bully! "The young lady clenched her fists," Do you know who he sold it to? "
"Han Zhangfeng's second son, Han Tianzhen!"
"Han Tianzhen? He's just the son of the Chief Imperial Messenger. How naive … how dare he buy my Snow Jade! Let's go to the Han Residence to steal a horse! Oh, no … let's go catch the thief! "
"Yes!"
…
The Han Residence was destined to be unlucky today. However, Han Tianzhen was not aware of it yet. He was in a good mood, and the smile on his face was bright. He was personally washing the Snow Jade in the stables.
"Build a stable for me. My Snow Jade cannot be placed with these commoners!"
"Yes, Second Young Master!"
"Hahaha …" Han Tianzhen laughed happily. He felt that he would be able to hold his head up high in the Yan Capital. He would let those people know the consequences of looking down on him.
However, Han Tianzhen's smile quickly froze.
Because …
A large group of armored soldiers barged in without any politeness. This surprised him. Who would dare to barge into the residence of the Chief Imperial Messenger of the Imperial Academy?
Until he saw a young girl, a young girl with a horsewhip in her hand.
The girl was like a fairy that had fallen into the mortal world, with a pair of eyes as clear as water. However, those who knew her well knew that it was just a cover for her demonic heart.
The Snow Jade had been stolen.
At this point, Han Tianzhen did not dare to resist at all. However, he did not understand why he had to be flogged 50 times even if he did not resist. Was he accused of stealing a horse that he didn't know about?
He was buying a horse …
He bought a Snow Jade with real money.
"I'm innocent!" Han Tianzhen clutched his butt as he was escorted out of the Han Residence. He looked up at the sky, his face filled with grief.
…
The young lady was also grieving. She saw a few clear whip marks on Snow White's butt. That was definitely the result of being whipped just now.
"Fang Zhengzhi, I will kill you!"
For someone who loved horses more than her life, whipping her horse was even more infuriating than whipping her person. This was especially so when Fang Zhengzhi had whipped her horse.
This kind of anger had already caused the young girl to go berserk.
…
Fang Zhengzhi naturally did not know that there was a red cloud roaring in the Flame Capital City. He was sitting in the best restaurant in the Flame Capital City with a relaxed expression.
"Bring me all your best dishes!" Fang Zhengzhi smiled brightly at the waiter.
Yan Xiu sat opposite Fang Zhengzhi, his face filled with confusion. He remembered that Fang Zhengzhi was not a generous person. At the very least, he would not be this generous when it came to food.
"What's the good news?"
"Not really. I just made a small fortune." Fang Zhengzhi knew that Yan Xiu was rich. As such, he felt that the few tens of thousands of silvers was just a small fortune.
"How much?"
"Not much, just sixty to seventy thousand silvers."
"Ah?!" Yan Xiu looked at Fang Zhengzhi. He was not surprised that sixty to seventy thousand silvers was a large sum. How did Fang Zhengzhi earn sixty to seventy thousand silvers in less than two hours?
Fang Zhengzhi did not say much. He felt that this amount of money was nothing to Yan Xiu.
Yan Xiu did not ask any further. Fang Zhengzhi did not say much.
The two of them drank and ate happily …
…
In contrast to Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu's happiness, King Duan was clearly unhappy. His brows furrowed.
"Is there no other way?" King Duan looked at Elder Wen and the middle-aged scholar, who were dressed in black and white Daoist robes. He looked worried.
He did not expect news of Fang Zhengzhi's breakthrough to the Heavenly Reflection State to spread so quickly. He had not even entered the East Palace, but the news had already spread to the entire capital.
Under such circumstances, he knew that there was no point in entering the East Palace.
"This matter has been debated in the courts for almost a month. However, the Emperor has yet to make a decision. I'm afraid it's not a good time to fight over it. Why don't we settle for the next best thing!" Elder Wen shook his head.
"Elder Wen, do you want me to fight for the position of Deputy Chief Examiner?" King Duan was clearly unhappy. He had already made it clear in the courts that he wanted to be the Chief Examiner. It was fine if he did not get the position. However, if he became the Deputy Chief Examiner …
The meaning behind it was completely different.
"Your highness, I have a plan!" The middle-aged scholar, Mr Hua, spoke. (To be continued.)
