This was a strange scene. However, when paired with Princess Shan Yu's wheat-colored skin, the white animal hide on her body and the five-colored feathers on her head, it gave off a unique sense of wild and primitive beauty.
However, Fang Zhengzhi was not thinking about whether it was beautiful or not. He was thinking about...
How strong is this girl?
At what distance would it be possible to kill her in one strike? Or perhaps, even in close combat, he wouldn't be able to defeat her?
This was a very serious problem. Fang Zhengzhi did not know how the Southern Region trained, nor did he know how strong the Southern Region was.
However, this question determined if Fangzheng's plan to come down here would succeed. It also determined if he could continue living.
"Men, behead him!" Princess Shan Yu had already put down her bow. She turned around and smiled at Fang Zhengzhi.
"Yes!" The five hundred Silver Horned Wolf Cavalry soldiers immediately responded respectfully.
On the other hand, General Tai and General Mu, who were standing behind Fang Zhengzhi, had already walked to Fang Zhengzhi's left and right. Both of their hands reached out and grabbed onto Fang Zhengzhi's shoulders.
Fang Zhengzhi did not resist.
Because even if he resisted, it would be useless.
"I have a wish before I die." Fang Zhengzhi's hands were held down by General Tai and General Mu. However, he could still open his mouth, hence, he instantly shouted out.
"Oh? If you have any wishes, just say them. " When Princess Shan Yu heard this, she nodded. It was normal for someone who was about to die to have some unfulfilled wishes.
"I want to see my parents one last time before I die." Fang Zhengzhi said sincerely.
"Look at your parents? Where are your parents? "Princess Shan Yu was puzzled.
"In the northern desert of Great Xia."
"Hmph, what nonsense are you spouting? Why would I let you go back to Great Xia? Stop dreaming, pull him down! "Princess Shan Yu snorted and ignored Fang Zhengzhi.
Wasn't this treating him as a fool?
"Then I have another wish." Fang Zhengzhi seemed to have expected that he would be rejected. He was not angry at all and continued to speak calmly.
"Speak."
"I'm still a virgin. I want to find a woman before I die."
"Get lost! Shameless bastard! How can the women of the southern territory be taken advantage of by someone like you? Behead him! "Princess Shan Yu was taken aback. Then, he was really angry.
"Wait a minute, if these two wishes aren't enough, I have a third wish."
"You talk a lot of nonsense."
"My third wish is very simple. I just want to know what kind of person I lost to. "Fang Zhengzhi said sincerely.
"Strength? Hahaha … Alright, this princess will satisfy your wish and let you die in peace. Using the realm of your Great Xia as an example. I am currently at the pinnacle of the Heavenly Reflection State. However, even if I were to meet a Supernatural Initial State cultivator of the Great Xia, I would not be afraid. "Princess Shan Yu's face was filled with pride.
"Pinnacle of the Heavenly Reflection State, initial stage of the Supernatural State..." Fang Zhengzhi frowned as he looked at Princess Shan Yu. He had never expected Princess Shan Yu to be so powerful at such a young age. This was not something that could be easily taken down.
It seemed that he had to change his plan.
"What do you think? Can you rest in peace now? "Princess Shan Yu smiled proudly.
"I think I can still struggle a little more." Fang Zhengzhi thought for a while and said with determination.
"Struggle? How are you going to struggle? "Princess Shan Yu asked curiously.
"I'll beat you first. I'll protect my life. "Fang Zhengzhi replied.
"Beat me? Hahaha … you have already lost, how can you win? "When Princess Shan Yu heard this, she instantly laughed, as beautiful as a black rose.
"The competition has not ended, anything is possible." Fang Zhengzhi said confidently.
"Alright, I will let you lose wholeheartedly today!" Princess Shan Yu didn't say anything else. She immediately took out her Fiery Rattan Bow and drew a full moon.
"Wait a minute!" Just as Princess Shan Yu was about to shoot, Fang Zhengzhi immediately interrupted.
"What is it now?" Princess Shan Yu's hand trembled slightly. She almost shot the arrow. Luckily, she stopped in time. Otherwise, she would have really lost face.
"I want to confirm the rules again. Is the final victor determined by the number of arrows on the target and the one with the highest accuracy?" Fang Zhengzhi asked.
"Of course." Princess Shan Yu said confidently.
"Then, does the person who finishes shooting first have any special rights?"
"It can count as one more arrow."
"Only … one more arrow?"
"Yes!"
"Are you sure it only counts as one arrow?"
"Nonsense. Once I say it, I will not go back on it! " Princess Shan Yu's face was filled with impatience. This guy was too troublesome. If not for the fact that they were in front of all the soldiers, she really wanted to kill him.
"Then, let me ask another question."
"Are you done yet?"
"This is the last question."
"Alright, ask."
"I want to know if I win. What will you do to me? "
"You simply have no chance of winning. Furthermore, you have already lost." When Princess Shan Yu heard this, she immediately replied with a look of disdain.
"What if?"
"Okay, if you beat me, I will let you be a teacher in the Southern Mountain Range." Princess Shan Yu thought for a while, then decided to say it.
In reality, when Fang Zhengzhi displayed his ability to recite the Law of Dao, she had already had this thought. However, Fang Zhengzhi was after all a spy from the Great Xia.
Hence, thoughts were thoughts, reality was reality.
"Can I be the princess' personal bodyguard?" Fang Zhengzhi was somewhat dissatisfied.
"Personal bodyguard?" Princess Shan Yu was confused.
"Yes, the kind that follows behind the princess all day long like a fox exploiting the tiger's might." Fang Zhengzhi explained very patiently.
"Ha ha ha … alright, I will satisfy you." Princess Shan Yu was once again amused by Fang Zhengzhi. After so many days, this was the first time she felt that someone could describe his character in such a low manner.
Most importantly, when this guy said the words "a fox exploiting the tiger's might", his face didn't even turn red in the slightest.
What a rare specimen.
"Princess, you must not do this. This person is a spy from the Great Xia. If you let him be your personal bodyguard, I'm afraid that it will affect your safety." When General Tai heard this, he instantly stood out and stopped her.
"Why, you think that I will lose?" Princess Shan Yu's expression instantly darkened.
"I … don't dare!" When General Tai saw this, beads of perspiration instantly appeared on his forehead. Princess Shan Yu's domineering nature was famous within the army. The decisions she made were never doubtful.
"Then what are you worried about?" Princess Shan Yu said coldly.
"That's right, General Tai, what are you worried about?" Fang Zhengzhi also looked towards General Tai. A faint smile appeared on the edges of his mouth.
"You … little kid! Princess, I request to personally execute this guy! "When General Tai saw Fang Zhengzhi's infuriating expression, he finally flew into a rage once again.
"Alright, permission granted!" Princess Shan Yu smiled and nodded.
"Thank you Princess!" General Tai wiped the perspiration on his forehead and respectfully retreated.
On the other hand, General Mu released Fang Zhengzhi's shoulder. He once again stood behind Fang Zhengzhi. The expression on his face was extremely solemn and stern.
"Princess arrived first, princess should shoot first." At this moment, Fang Zhengzhi began to be modest.
"Ha ha ha … you want to suck up to me? However, this doesn't mean that I will let you off. "Princess Shan Yu laughed once again.
Immediately after, she didn't waste any more words.
The bowstring of the Fiery Rattan Bow emitted a "Twang" sound. An arrow glowing with a fiery red light left her hand and landed on the bullseye once again.
"Good! Princess' archery skills are great! "
"Princess is mighty!"
"Princess' archery skills are unparalleled in the world!"
The surrounding five hundred Silver Horned Wolf Cavalry soldiers instantly began to shout. In their hearts, Princess Shan Yu was the goddess of the army. Not only was she powerful, she was also so beautiful.
Even though she was somewhat domineering.
However, she treated her subordinates with care and concern from the bottom of her heart.
Furthermore, most importantly, Princess Shan Yu's current position wasn't completely obtained through her status. Instead, it was obtained through her achievements in the army. In the past, in a few surprise attacks, she was the one who took the lead, charging at the very front and personally beheading the enemy's leader.
She had achieved many military achievements.
Such a princess. Naturally, it caused them to pledge their lives to follow her.
Princess Shan Yu seemed to have long gotten used to the cheers around her. Without the slightest bit of hesitation, she drew the Fiery Rattan Bow once again. The last arrow finally landed on the bullseye once again.
"Princess has won!"
"Congratulations Princess. You have won the competition! "
One by one, the Silver Horned Wolf Cavalry soldiers instantly began to cheer. General Tai and General Mu, who were standing behind Fang Zhengzhi, also immediately congratulated her.
"Mm, how is it? Are you convinced now?" Princess Shan Yu lightly nodded. Then. Turning her gaze towards Fang Zhengzhi, a mesmerizing smile appeared on her face.
Under normal circumstances, after winning such a competition, she wouldn't even take another look at her opponent. However, for some reason, today, she won against Fang Zhengzhi.
Yet, it caused her to feel extremely delighted.
It was as sweet as eating a piece of honey.
"I am convinced, but I am not convinced." Fang Zhengzhi shook his head.
"Little kid, I think you are just not convinced?" General Tai casually mocked.
"Are you deaf?" Fang Zhengzhi replied with a question.
"What do you mean?"
"You don't understand human language, what's the difference between you and a deaf person?"
"You … I will kill you right now."
"The competition isn't over yet, what are you so anxious for … damn, don't tell me you want to defy military orders? Princess, this person is rebellious! "Fang Zhengzhi very bluntly gave General Tai a middle finger, then instantly complained to the princess.
"Little kid, you … you dare to malign me! Princess, I am loyal and devoted, I definitely have no intentions of rebelling! " General Tai was shocked. His heart was filled with rage, and his teeth chattered loudly. However, he still endured it.
"Stand up, I am not blind!" Princess Shan Yu replied faintly and waved her hand.
The edges of Fang Zhengzhi's mouth curved into a smile.
No matter what, he was still a rank four Sword Envoy of the Great Xia Dynasty. So what if it was Princess Ping Yang? So what if it was Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping? These people couldn't even gain the slightest bit of advantage from him.
Don't tell me that I will still be bullied by a small general in the Southern Mountain Range?
Even though one had to lower one's head when under someone else's roof, this was Princess Shan Yu's roof, not General Tai's roof. He had to suppress him with his aura.
"Aren't you going to start?" Princess Shan Yu looked at the pleased Fang Zhengzhi and urged.
"Alright." Fang Zhengzhi nodded.
Then, he drew the light bow in his hand into a full moon. Just from his posture alone, it was still very professional and handsome. After all, the few years of hunting in the Cang Ling Mountain wasn't for nothing.
When Princess Shan Yu saw Fang Zhengzhi's posture when he shot, she was somewhat astonished.
Someone who knew archery naturally knew the importance of posture.
Taking herself as an example, it took her a full three years just to practice the posture of archery. After that, she was able to hit the target with every shot, and her arrows never missed.
And on Fang Zhengzhi's body, she actually saw a trace of herself.
Or, it could be said that Fang Zhengzhi's posture was as professional as hers.
How is this possible?
Just as she thought about this, the arrow in Fang Zhengzhi's hand finally left his hand. The sound of the arrow piercing through the air rang out at this moment. Even though, it looked rather imposing.
But, it was ultimately still too ordinary.
It wasn't too astonishing.
The sharp arrow drew a beautiful arc in the air, then, it rapidly descended towards the target.
A trace of a smile appeared on Princess Shan Yu's face. She felt that she had overestimated Fang Zhengzhi. This kind of archery was simply for show. It was probably just that its accuracy wasn't too bad.
In terms of actual power, it wasn't at all.
Not to mention humans.
Even an ordinary beast wouldn't be able to be killed with one arrow.
"What a waste of time …" Princess Shan Yu didn't even manage to finish the last word "time" before the smile on her face completely froze. Her entire person was stunned on the spot.
The Fiery Rattan Bow in her hand instantly fell to the ground with a thud.
Similarly stunned along with Princess Shan Yu were the five hundred Silver Horned Wolves and the two generals Tai and Mu.
At this moment, everyone's eyes became round and their faces were filled with disbelief.
"How is this possible?"
"Why did this happen?"
"This … is simply impossible!"
Voices rang out one by one.
Especially General Tai. At this moment, he was already completely stunned.
He had thought of many possible outcomes. For example, Fang Zhengzhi's luck was off the charts, and his arrow hit the bullseye. Or, Fang Zhengzhi's three arrows all hit the bullseye.
However, he definitely didn't expect that.
Fang Zhengzhi's arrow would hit Princess Shan Yu's arrow!
"Crack!" Following a crisp cracking sound, the white feather arrow was instantly shot into two. Then, like a snowflake, it fell to the ground.
At this moment, the entire world seemed to have quietened down.
All that was left was the slightly cold wind blowing on everyone's faces. That was a wind that could blow up one's hair. However, nobody cared about it. Because, their hearts were similarly very cold.
The arrow was an ordinary arrow. The bow was an ordinary bow. The power was similarly ordinary. However, the outcome wasn't ordinary at all.
"Coincidence, it must be a coincidence!" General Tai recalled Fang Zhengzhi's performance along the way. He simply wasn't willing to believe that Fang Zhengzhi could so accurately shoot down Princess Shan Yu's arrow.
Compared to hitting the bullseye …
