Of course, there was another problem, and that was to try not to get involved in danger!
Fang Zhengzhi did not like to put himself in danger. He did not care about breaking through at the brink of death or being reborn after experiencing death.
That was called cheating.
If you always walk by the river, will you really never get your shoes wet?
Fang Zhengzhi felt that the safest way was to stay as far away from danger as possible. Then, he could watch others fight while eating fruits. Perhaps he would be enlightened as he watched.
Alright …
Now that he couldn't think of a solution, he could only try his luck. He wouldn't be able to come up with any good ideas even if he kept sitting in the restaurant. As the saying goes, reading ten thousand books is not as good as walking ten thousand miles.
That was the reason.
"Waiter, bill please!"
"Take care, sir!"
After coming out of the restaurant, Fang Zhengzhi went straight to the camp of the guarding generals.
The strict soldiers guarded the surroundings of the camp. As the general who guarded the borders of the Great Xia Dynasty, he naturally had a lot of troops at his disposal.
As far as the eye could see, it was filled with soldiers in bright armor.
"Who is it? How dare you trespass! "One of the soldiers guarding the entrance of the camp blocked Fang Zhengzhi's path.
Fang Zhengzhi could not be bothered to waste his breath. He flashed his official seal and waved it in front of the guard. Then, he put it away.
"We greet the Sword Envoy!"
"Take me to your general."
"Please wait a moment, Lord Sword Envoy. I'll go in and report!"
"Yes." Fang Zhengzhi nodded. This was the power of an official. A rank four official was nothing in the capital, but in the Stable Mountain Pass, he was someone who could do whatever he wanted.
Not long after, a general in black armor came out to greet them. He was about 40 years old, and his eyes were slightly narrowed, looking like two slits hanging on his face.
"I am the commander of the Stable Mountain Gate, Yu Tianfeng. May I know if you are Sword Envoy Fang?" Yu Tianfeng walked in front of Fang Zhengzhi. He had a questioning look on his face.
"Yes." Fang Zhengzhi nodded.
"That is truly an honor. I often hear news from the court that Sword Envoy Fang is young and promising. I didn't believe it at first. Now I believe it. Let me first congratulate Sword Envoy Fang for taking first place in the court theory examination. I wonder what business Sword Envoy Fang has with me? "
"Borrow soldiers."
"Borrow soldiers? This … As far as this general knows, Sword Envoy Fang is currently not in the army, nor does he have any military duties. What do you mean by borrowing troops? "
"Lend me two thousand soldiers to participate in the combat examination."
"Haha, everyone knows that Sword Envoy Fang missed the combat examination. I am very sad as well. Two thousand soldiers is just a small matter, but, you know … now is not the time." Yu Tianfeng paused, wanting to say something but hesitating.
"Why?"
"This general can only say that right now the entire Stable Mountain Pass is under martial law, and the military strength is already insufficient. If I borrow it again, although it's a small matter, if I lose my position because of this … then I'll be beheaded! "
"I understand. Goodbye." Fang Zhengzhi nodded and did not say anything else.
"Where is Sword Envoy Fang going? Since you've already missed the combat examination, why don't you rest in the Pass for a few days and let me play host? "
"It's alright, I still have to rush back to Flame Capital City to deploy troops." Fang Zhengzhi waved his hand and left.
"I see. Then I shall not delay Sword Envoy Fang any further!" Yu Tianfeng watched as Fang Zhengzhi disappeared into the distance. His lips curled into a cold smile.
Back to Flame Capital City?!
Even if you return to Flame Capital City, you won't be able to get any troops!
"General, should we send someone to follow him? To prevent him from entering the Southern Mountain Range to participate in the combat examinations? "One of the generals whispered as he watched Fang Zhengzhi disappear.
"No need. Without troops, there is no point in entering the Southern Mountain Range. Furthermore, he has already incurred the wrath of the Emperor by missing the combat examination. Even if he returns to Flame Capital City, he will not be able to borrow any troops. Instead, he will face the consequences of his actions. He will not be able to do much in this combat examination! "
"Then … should we report this to King Duan?"
"Mm, send a message to King Duan. Tell him that Fang Zhengzhi appeared at the Stable Mountain Pass to borrow troops. However, I did not lend him a single soldier. Furthermore, Fang Zhengzhi may rush back to Flame Capital City. Tell King Duan to prepare."
"Yes, I understand."
…
Fang Zhengzhi could not go back to Flame Capital City to get more troops.
Having no troops was his greatest disadvantage. This meant that he would not be able to participate in the combat examination, much less carry out the mission of protecting the settlement.
Wu Yuer had really screwed him over.
He was too passive.
If she wanted to let him go, why did she capture him in the first place? She was crazy!
Fang Zhengzhi did not know what Wu Yuer was thinking. Perhaps she did not want him to participate in the combat examination. However, from her actions, it seemed like she had already guessed that he would insist on participating.
She had even prepared a map for him.
What was the reason?
Hang on.
Speaking of a map …
Fang Zhengzhi quickly took out the map that Wu Yuer had prepared for him. Even though this map was a little rough, it was clear on the names of the places.
Crow, Shi Zun, Thunderous Lion, Icy Monkey, these four settlements …
He could not go for now.
After all, the most dangerous places were Crow, Shi Zun, Thunderous Lion, and Icy Monkey. These were definitely the most complicated places in the Southern Mountain Range.
There were 100,000 soldiers from the Great Xia Dynasty there. Of course, there would also be soldiers from the Southern Mountain Range. There might even be soldiers from the Demon Race.
He did not even have a single one of them.
Going to these four places now was no different from courting death.
What about the Sagely Mountain City?
Fang Zhengzhi's eyes lit up. The Sagely Mountain City was the capital of the Southern Mountain Range. He would be able to experience the Southern Mountain Range immediately. It seemed like a good place.
However, he was still not very familiar with the Southern Mountain Range. It was too risky to go to the Sagely Mountain City directly.
He had to get to know it first.
From the side.
Of course, when Fang Zhengzhi made this decision, he had another thought. That was, if he really couldn't pass the combat examination, then he would just forget about it!
He would just treat it as a trip out of the country. What's wrong with that?
When he thought about it, the pressure in Fang Zhengzhi's heart disappeared. Since he was going on a trip, he had to prepare well. He did not choose to leave immediately. Instead, he went to a shop that specialized in leather goods and clothing.
"Do you have any exotic clothes?"
Fang Zhengzhi called out when he entered the shop.
"Exotic clothes? You have found the right place. I can have nothing in my shop, but exotic clothes will definitely satisfy you! "The shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he heard Fang Zhengzhi's words.
"Just take two sets." Fang Zhengzhi said generously.
"Okay, please wait a moment." After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he ran back into the shop and placed a huge pile of clothes in front of Fang Zhengzhi.
"What is this?" Fang Zhengzhi thought that he had found the right place. However, when he saw the pile of clothes, he was stunned.
"Clothes?"
"Is this for a man or a woman?"
"I did not expect you to have such a hobby. These are all for women. However, if you like men... ahem, I have some in my shop!"
"Scram!" Fang Zhengzhi was furious.
What kind of person was this?
He was so handsome, how could he have such a hobby?
"Young Master, please don't be angry. If you don't like these vulgar goods, I still have some collections in the store that are absolutely full of charm. Young Master, do you want to be bold and unrestrained, or do you want to be as passionate as fire? Also... "
"I want clothes from the Southern Mountain Range!"
"Ah? You are making things difficult for me. There are no clothes in the Southern Mountain Range. "
"No clothes?" Fang Zhengzhi was slightly taken aback. There were no clothes in the Southern Mountain Range? Didn't that mean he had seen everything?
"Yes, they are all draped in animal skins and tied with leaves. If Young Master likes them, there are a few in the animal skin shop. However, if you want to pick the leaves, you have to come out of seclusion. I'm afraid it will take some time."
"Give me two hides!"
"Alright, two top-notch beast hides."
After leaving the leather shop, Fang Zhengzhi's Heart Protection Mirror had two more sets of beast skins. One was a leopard print, and the other was a white tiger print.
It was extremely impressive.
Fang Zhengzhi was satisfied with this.
Then, Fang Zhengzhi continued to walk around. He definitely had to prepare food. Apart from that, he also had to prepare some necessities for the jungle.
From time to time, some people would enter the Southern Mountain Range to hunt in the Stable Mountain Pass. These things were not too difficult to find, and it did not take long to gather all of them.
Everything was ready.
Fang Zhengzhi did not waste any more time.
Using the beast skin to cover his face, Fang Zhengzhi displayed a little of his skills and passed one round.
Why did he have to do this?
The reason was very simple. Without the letter to pass the pass, or the qualification to hunt, and without revealing his identity, it was impossible to leave the Stable Mountain Pass. Therefore, he could only use his fists to solve the problem.
After exiting the Stable Mountain Range, Fang Zhengzhi was chased for a while. Then, he hid in the forest and became part of the forest.
He found a place and changed his clothes. Then, he placed his blue robe back into his Heart Protection Mirror. Then, he covered his body with a leopard print hide.
He thought about Shan Jia's attire the last time he saw him on Cang Ling Mountain. He found a few twigs and made a headband for his head.
Then, he messed up his hair.
To Fang Zhengzhi, this was the exotic style of the Southern Mountain Range.
Mm...
The exotic style of not wearing clothes!
