There was an old saying: When you look at the scenery from the bridge, the person enjoying the scenery will be watching you from above.
Fang Zhengzhi had this feeling. Previously, he had been standing at the side and watching others draw their swords. Now, others were also watching him draw his sword.
What was different was that if it was someone else, they would not be able to pull it out.
"Come out, be a good boy!" Fang Zhengzhi caressed the hilt of the Traceless Sword and muttered to himself. Then, he gripped the hilt of the Traceless Sword tightly with both hands and pulled forcefully.
Again!
Again...
...
All of the officials stared at Fang Zhengzhi. They did not know what Fang Zhengzhi was up to. The sword did not move at all.
"Is he really putting on an act?" One of the officials asked.
"Could it be that he can't pull it out?" Another official asked.
"How is that possible? Fang Zhengzhi stabbed the sword into the ground. Why can't he pull it out? It has already recognized its owner, why can't he pull it out? "
"Does he dare to defy the order?"
All of the officials discussed. They did not believe that Fang Zhengzhi could not pull the sword out. However, Fang Zhengzhi had not pulled it out.
There were only two possibilities. One, Fang Zhengzhi wanted to defy the order. Two, Fang Zhengzhi could not pull it out.
Defy the order?
That was highly unlikely. Fang Zhengzhi did not have the guts to do so. There was no benefit to defying the order...
"Can he not pull it out? The owner of the sword... is not him?! "
All of the officials looked at Fang Zhengzhi in a different light when this thought appeared in their minds.
Previously, Law Official Wan Chong had used the excuse to pull the sword out. Then, General Jin had stepped forward to help the Law Official. Both times, the Emperor had not given the order.
But now, Emperor Lin Mubaijin had ordered Fang Zhengzhi to pull the sword out. If he did not, he would be charged with a heinous crime. Defying the order!
Yan Xiu and Xing Qingsui began to panic when they saw Fang Zhengzhi's expression. Why was he not pulling it out after so long?
Something was not right.
King Duan and Crown Prince Lin TianK's darkened eyes suddenly brightened. If Fang Zhengzhi really couldn't pull out his sword, it would be a great opportunity.
Prince Li of the First Rank's eyes were still cloudy. This was a completely different feeling from Chi Guyan's starry eyes. One was like a stone statue, the other had a beauty that could topple the world.
Everyone looked at Fang Zhengzhi.
In that case … Of course, Chi Guyan could not ignore it. Her bright eyes glowed at this moment. She could see that Fang Zhengzhi was trying very hard to pull out the sword, but she did not expect the result.
"Did someone do something to it?" Chi Guyan immediately denied this thought. That was because there was no one who could do such a thing in front of Emperor Lin Mubai and King Liqin.
Then …
He really couldn't pull it out?
Fang Zhengzhi was indeed unable to pull it out. He had already tried many times, but the Traceless Sword did not budge. The wind brushed past his face, sending a chill down his spine.
Emperor Lin Mubai's expression finally changed after half an hour. However, as the Emperor, he could not rush Fang Zhengzhi. As such, he could only look at Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping.
Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping immediately understood Emperor Lin Mubai's intentions. He stepped forward, "Fang Zhengzhi, King Liqin is old. He can't stand the cold. "
"That's right, quickly pull out the sword!"
"Fang Zhengzhi, are you going to disobey the order?"
Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping had just spoken when a few other officials stepped forward.
Fang Zhengzhi broke out in a cold sweat. He wanted to pull it out immediately, but something had gone wrong. He had completely lost control.
What could he do?
"Be good, stop fooling around! Come out! "
"Come out, I'll show you the scenery? The outside world is huge, it's boring to stay here every day. It's boring to look at four walls every day. "
Fang Zhengzhi continued to speak to the unresponsive Traceless Sword.
All of the officials' expressions changed when they heard Fang Zhengzhi's words. Why did it sound so strange? Weren't they supposed to stay here every day?
This was the throne room. Many people wanted to stay here, but they couldn't.
"We've been through life and death together. Look, I brought you out of the World of the Sage. You never left me, and I never gave you up. We'll be together for the rest of our lives. Isn't that great?" Fang Zhengzhi ignored the looks of all of the officials.
All of the officials were confused when they heard this. Was Fang Zhengzhi talking to the sword? Even if the sword was sentient, could it understand human speech?
All of the officials looked at Fang Zhengzhi as if he was an idiot.
However, Ping Yang and Yan Xiu did not think that way.
They had seen Fang Zhengzhi use this' bullsh * t 'to trick the Traceless Sword out of the World of the Sage. Fang Zhengzhi was doing the same thing.
"You're still not coming out? Don't tell me you want me to tell you a story? "Fang Zhengzhi looked at the unresponsive Traceless Sword and asked.
"Weng!" The Traceless Sword hummed.
"F * ck... me!" Fang Zhengzhi was speechless. This was the throne room. Was it really okay for a sword to be so arrogant and willful?
Most importantly...
Last night, he was talking about Wu Song fighting the tiger in Water Margin. So, the next story should be the story of Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing, right?
"Fang Zhengzhi, what are you doing? Are you trying to defy the emperor?" Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping chuckled to himself.
Fang Zhengzhi knew what Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping was thinking. He had no choice but to go all out.
"Your highness, I need to make some preparations."
"Preparations?" Emperor Lin Mubai was confused when he heard Fang Zhengzhi.
"Yes, just like how we need to prepare rations before a battle, I need to prepare before I draw my sword." Fang Zhengzhi replied.
"Mm, I will allow it." Emperor Lin Mubai nodded.
All of the other officials were speechless. He needed to prepare before he drew his sword? However, he was surprised that Fang Zhengzhi knew that the rations and fodder had to be prepared before the troops moved.
Fang Zhengzhi did not delay any further. He began his story after receiving the Emperor's edict.
"It was said that after Wu Song killed the tiger, he became the constable of Qinghe County … In Qinghe County, there was a servant girl from a wealthy family. Her maiden name was Pan, and her nickname was Jinlian. She was in her twenties, and she was quite beautiful. Because the wealthy family wanted to pester him, the servant went to complain to her mistress, and refused to comply... "
Fang Zhengzhi relished the story. All of the officials felt that something was amiss. What kind of person was this? Why haven't they heard of it before?
When Fang Zhengzhi reached the part where Pan Jinlian seduced Ximen Qing...
Ping Yang, who was standing in front of the Dragon Throne, blushed. She pouted her cherry lips and said, "This guy is still so shameless!"
When Chi Guyan heard this, her eyes were filled with disbelief.
She had always known how shameless Fang Zhengzhi was. However, he was shameless enough to tell such a story in the Throne Room. Furthermore, he even said that this was preparation before he drew his sword?
It was hard to imagine.
All of the officials cursed in their hearts. They could not understand how such a person could top the Theory Examinations.
"I do not wish to be associated with such a person!"
"This shamelessness is a stain on the reputation of the scholars!"
"Such indecent words should be executed on the spot!"
All of the officials were filled with righteous indignation. If not for the fact that Fang Zhengzhi had asked for Emperor Lin Mubai's permission, they would have charged forward and killed this shameless person.
Emperor Lin Mubai smiled bitterly as he listened to Fang Zhengzhi's explicit description.
Fang Zhengzhi did not pay attention to this. To him, this was a masterpiece from his previous life. What was there to be shameless about?
Fang Zhengzhi continued to tell the story in the Throne Room.
It was difficult for Emperor Lin Mubai and the officials to not listen. They could only listen by the side.
When Fang Zhengzhi reached the part where Wu Song killed Ximen Qing in the Lovers Brothel and left behind a blood letter, everyone was mesmerized. They cheered in their hearts.
That feeling was as if all the Qi in his chest had been released, and the world had suddenly become clear.
Today in the Imperial Court, all of them had a sense of pressure in their hearts. Now that this pressure had been unleashed by the characters in Fang Zhengzhi's story, all of them felt a little incredulous.
At this moment, a clear sound rang out. A ray of light shot up from the ground and landed in Fang Zhengzhi's hands. It was the Traceless Sword.
"He pulled it out?!"
"He … he pulled it out just like that?!"
"What's going on?"
"Unbelievable!"
"It's simply unimaginable, a miraculous story!"
All of the officials stared wide-eyed at the Traceless Sword in Fang Zhengzhi's hands. They could not understand why the sword would appear on its own when Fang Zhengzhi was telling the story.
Fang Zhengzhi was not going to explain to the officials why the sword would appear on its own. He gripped the sword gently and walked to the door. He presented the Traceless Sword to King Liqin.
"Your Highness, this sword is called Traceless!"
"Traceless?!"
"Can't he see such a large purple mark?"
When the officials heard Fang Zhengzhi's words, they stared at the purple mark on the Traceless Sword. They were speechless. Who gave it this name?
King Liqin's murky gaze fell on the sword in Fang Zhengzhi's hands. He looked from the hilt to the blade, all the way to the tip of the sword. When he saw the purple mark on the tip of the sword, his murky eyes flickered.
