"First? Okay, the fourth recording tablet is by the side of the road, but... "Fang Zhengzhi smirked.
"But what?"
"You guys went the wrong way." Fang Zhengzhi pointed to a stone by the side of the road.
"Went the wrong way?" Then, her eyes suddenly lit up. "Could it be that you did something on the way? That's right, it was at the place where I met you. At that time, I felt that something was wrong. It turns out that you … you're really shameless!"
"Thank you for the compliment. Now that you know where it is, why aren't you going?"
"I want to ask you one more question before I go." Ping Yang's expression was a little strange when she heard Fang Zhengzhi's words.
"You want to ask me why I told you?"
"Yes, why did you tell me? If you didn't tell me, Ninth Brother and I would never have thought of this. Wouldn't you have a higher chance of getting first? "Ping Yang looked at Fang Zhengzhi in confusion.
"Even if I tell you now, I will still get first."
"How is that possible? You haven't carved your name on the first recording tablet yet. Furthermore, there are so many people waiting for you there. How are you going to get past them? "Ping Yang was in disbelief.
"Get past them? Why should I? All I have to do is tell them the truth and they will run. Why would they stay there to stop me? "Fang Zhengzhi replied confidently.
"Official Fang is right. Their goal is to win the competition, not to make things difficult for you. As long as you tell them the location of the fourth recording tablet, they will leave." Ninth Prince Lin Yun nodded.
"So that's how it is. Is that why you deliberately waited for me here?" Ping Yang said thoughtfully.
"Waited for you? Don't flatter yourself. I'm just hungry. I'm just going to stop here to eat something. Bye bye! "Fang Zhengzhi said. He ignored Ping Yang and jumped onto the Earth Biao Horse, galloping away.
Ping Yang was left stomping his foot in frustration.
"Shameless fella, even if you are shorter than me. I'll definitely be able to get first place in the Horse Hunt before you do! "
...
Fang Zhengzhi felt that he had calculated everything.
For example, they could change the route on the fourth recording tablet so that everyone would run to the finish line first, then run another lap.
Next, Yi would take over. He took advantage of the fact that the participants' patience was wearing thin and their eyes were blurry from hunger to appear. Just like that, everyone was anxious to finish the horse race and hunt.
Naturally, no one would deliberately stay behind to make things difficult for him.
Everything was as natural as a river flowing into the sea.
However, no matter how much he thought about it, he didn't think about Xiang Tianying and Tang Zhongming.
When Fang Zhengzhi rode his Mud Striped Horse to the first recording tablet, Xiang Tianying and Tang Zhongming were on the verge of exploding.
The two horses, one black and one green, fell to the ground.
The black warhorse was limp as if all the bones in its body were broken, while the green warhorse's eyes were lifeless, as if its soul had died.
Fang Zhengzhi did not know Xiang Tianying and Tang Zhongming. However, he could still remember that these two people seemed to be in first and second place previously.
"Oh? You were too careless, how did you kill your horse? "Fang Zhengzhi comforted Xiang Tianying and Tang Zhongming.
"You..."
In Xiang Tianying and Tang Zhongming's eyes, Fang Zhengzhi's words were sarcastic and sarcastic.
"Hand over the fourth recording tablet!"
"Yes, hand it over now. Otherwise, don't blame us for being merciless."
"You took the fourth recording tablet away from the main road. That is against the rules. Once we confirm this, your results will be forfeited! "
All of the candidates were more concerned about the fourth recording tablet.
"I didn't take the fourth recording tablet away. Did you guys go the wrong way? "Fang Zhengzhi looked at the agitated scholars innocently.
"Wrong way? How is that possible, we have been following the guiding stone... hang on. Did you... "
"Fang Zhengzhi, how dare you move the guiding stone!"
"You... you..."
All of the candidates regained their senses when they heard Fang Zhengzhi's words.
"I'm not sure about that. I didn't go in the same direction as all of you. The fourth recording tablet was by the side of the road." Fang Zhengzhi was not stupid.
"Hmph. You must have moved it on purpose! "One of the candidates said confidently.
"So what if I did? Is there a rule that disqualifies you if you accidentally kick the guiding stone? "Fang Zhengzhi waved his hand nonchalantly.
All of the candidates looked at each other. They could see the anger in each other's eyes.
However...
Were they really going to attack Fang Zhengzhi?
If the fourth recording tablet was on Fang Zhengzhi, they would have a reason to attack him. They could even gang up on him.
However, the fourth recording tablet was not on Fang Zhengzhi.
This was a completely different situation.
Firstly, Fang Zhengzhi was a rank four Sword Envoy. He was an important official in the government. Without sufficient reason, they would not gang up on him.
Secondly, Fang Zhengzhi was not weak.
Other than Xiang Tianying and Tang Zhongming, no one else had absolute confidence that they could beat Fang Zhengzhi one on one.
They couldn't swarm him together, and they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to defeat him if they challenged him one on one.
They could only swallow their pride.
"Fang Zhengzhi, you win this time!"
"Let's go!"
All of the candidates were so hungry that their chests were sticking to their backs. Furthermore, they had been exposed to the scorching sun for two to four hours. Furthermore, they had run an entire round.
They did not have the energy to waste any more time here.
Now that they knew the approximate location of the fourth recording tablet, they would be able to find it quickly.
There was no point in staying here any longer.
All of the candidates mounted their horses and prepared to search for the fourth recording tablet.
However, at this moment, Xiang Tianying and Tang Zhongming looked at each other and both of them stood out from the crowd.
"Don't be fooled by him. The fourth recording tablet is with him. He wants us to find the fourth recording tablet, then take first place. "Xiang Tianying's voice rang out.
In that instant. The candidates who were about to make a move all stopped.
"Young Master Xiang is right. Everyone should have heard of Fang Zhengzhi. This person has always been shameless. What Young Master Xiang said is not impossible." Tang Zhongming saw that the surrounding scholars had stopped. She immediately agreed with him on the side.
"Yes yes, Young Master Xiang and Young Master Tang are right!"
"Yes, we cannot be fooled by him again."
"We have to search him!"
"It's best to tie him up first, then we'll look for him!"
All of the candidates agreed with Xiang Tianying and Tang Zhongming. As long as they insisted that Fang Zhengzhi took the fourth recording tablet, they would be able to do so.
Then, they would have a good reason to gang up on Fang Zhengzhi.
As for...
Whether Fang Zhengzhi took the fourth recording tablet was no longer important. They knew that Fang Zhengzhi could not have taken such a huge recording tablet.
They also knew that Fang Zhengzhi's words were likely true.
However, they could not just let Fang Zhengzhi off. How could they let him go?
Before restarting the competition, he would tie Fang Zhengzhi up. That way, Fang Zhengzhi would not be able to participate in the competition.
That was a good way to vent their anger.
Fang Zhengzhi frowned as he looked at the rowdy crowd, then at the two horses behind Xiang Tianying and Tang Zhongming. He had a rough idea of what was going on.
These two fellas probably knew that they would never be able to place in the rankings. That was why they came out to cause trouble.
Were they trying to kill him?
"I've already said it. I didn't take the fourth recording tablet. If you want to search me, you can send a representative. I will not resist. However, if you all want to gang up on me, I will not hold back either! "Fang Zhengzhi felt like he had to put on a strong front.
In front of all the officials, he was the last in rank. However... In front of these scholars, with the exception of a few who had hereditary nobility, he was considered to be in a high position and had a lot of power.
All of the candidates were stunned when they heard Fang Zhengzhi's words.
"Are you going to start a massacre here?" One of the candidates was in disbelief.
"That's right, the Emperor is here today. If you dare to kill anyone here, you will be punished!" Another candidate stepped out.
"I don't dare to kill anyone for no reason. However, what if I did it in self-defense? I seem to remember that not too long ago, I defended myself once. "Fang Zhengzhi smiled as he looked at the hesitant candidates.
All of the candidates were already hesitant. When they heard the word 'self-defense', they all thought of the same thing.
Not long ago, news of what happened in the Northern Mountain Village had spread throughout the entire capital. The case of Fang Zhengzhi killing hundreds of soldiers in a fit of rage was still pending in the Ministry of Law.
"Hmmph, you want to defend yourself? Then you have to be able to beat us first! " Xiang Tianying looked at all of the hesitant candidates. He knew that if he didn't speak up, they would all be intimidated by Fang Zhengzhi.
"Fang Zhengzhi, I wanted to meet you again during the court examinations. Today is the perfect opportunity." Tang Zhongming spoke up.
The fact that the seventh and eighth rankers of the Rising Dragon Roll stood out at the same time gave the candidates a huge boost of confidence. As long as these two stood in front of them,
As long as these two stood in front of them, Fang Zhengzhi would not be able to kill anyone.
Fang Zhengzhi was exasperated.
His original intention was to scare these people, but in reality, it seemed that his reputation was not enough to scare all of these scholars away.
Chat for a while? Fang Zhengzhi was confident that he could convince them.
Because, as long as one person left first, then the others would definitely follow. After all, time waits for no man.
However, Fang Zhengzhi did not have the time either.
What he should not have done was tell Ping Yang the location of the fourth recording tablet. With Ping Yang's Snow Jade's speed, if he had delayed any longer, Ping Yang would have taken first place.
The loss of the treasures was secondary. The most important thing was the image of Ping Yang standing in front of him with her hands on her hips, shouting, "This princess is number one, you're number two, you're number two, you're number two …"
Fang Zhengzhi felt like he would not be able to eat for three days.
He could not let that happen.
He had to get rid of this problem as soon as possible.
With a flip of his hand, an aquamarine longbow appeared in Fang Zhengzhi's hand. The longbow glowed brightly and a murderous aura rose from the bowstring.
All of the candidates subconsciously took a step back when they saw the bow in Fang Zhengzhi's hands. All of their gazes focused on the bow.
"This, this is..."
"It looks like... this bow looks familiar. Could it be the Sun Shooting Bow?!"
"How is that possible? Why would the Sun Shooting Bow be in Fang Zhengzhi's hands? "
All of the candidates were in disbelief when they saw the bow in Fang Zhengzhi's hands.
Fang Zhengzhi ignored them. He gripped the bow in his left hand and pulled on the bowstring with his right. The Sun Shooting Bow was pulled to its fullest.
He had been hunting with the Northern Mountain Village hunting team ever since he was young.
It was impossible for him to not know how to use a bow.
Fang Zhengzhi's archery skills were excellent. Even though he could not hit his target 100% of the time, he could still kill his prey from 300 meters away.
Even though none of the candidates knew if Fang Zhengzhi was using the Sun Shooting Bow, they all unsheathed their weapons when they saw Fang Zhengzhi pull the bowstring to its fullest.
"Could it be that he really wants to fight against all of us by himself?"
"Isn't he too arrogant?"
Even Xiang Tianying and Tang Zhongming were in disbelief when they saw Fang Zhengzhi pull the bowstring.
At that moment, Fang Zhengzhi's bowstring began to glow with a green light.
It was a ray of light that looked like a sword.
A vigorous life force rose from the light, causing the light to spread at an extremely fast speed. Soon, it spread from the bowstring to the body of the bow, and then to the outside of the bow.
From afar, it looked like an arrow nocked on the Sun Shooting Bow.
However, this arrow was completely made of emerald green light, and it was extremely sharp ….
"What is that?"
"It's the Divine Constabulary's Million Sword Illustration. Fang Zhengzhi has turned the Million Sword Illustration into an arrow!"
"What is he trying to do?!"
All of the candidates had serious expressions on their faces as they slowly retreated. They could feel the immense power contained within the arrow.
If Fang Zhengzhi's bow was really the Sun Shooting Bow.
With the Sun Shooting Bow as the bow, the Myriad Sword Painting was shot out …
