…
Nearing the release of the results, the examinees at the entrance of the Qingfeng Academy slowly began to crowd. Just as Fang Zhengzhi returned to the entrance of the Qingfeng Academy, he heard Li Huer's shout.
"Fang Zhengzhi, quickly come over here, I've reserved a spot for you!"
Fang Zhengzhi took a look, then continued to walk to the side, as if he didn't see anything.
"Eh? Why did he go over there? He must be afraid of us seeing him fail, ha ha ha … you guys reserve a spot, I'll pull him over! "
Li Huer evidently had been waiting for this moment. Not caring whether Fang Zhengzhi was willing or not, he forcefully pulled Fang Zhengzhi to the spot he had reserved.
Fang Zhengzhi sighed deeply in his heart. I originally had my heart set on the moon, but my heart shines in the ditch. Why do I have to stretch my face over here?
"Zhengzhi, don't worry even if you fail this time. After all, you have already made it to the First-Class Roll, you can return to the village in peace!" Li Zhuangshi greeted Fang Zhengzhi when he saw him walk over.
When the other examinees saw Fang Zhengzhi, they began to discuss spiritedly. However, their voices weren't as loud as the first time. Of course, this was only relative.
Faker, lecher, he will definitely fail! Etc., there was no lack of unhappiness.
In a teahouse opposite the Qingfeng Academy, Meng Yushu, dressed in a yellow brocade robe, looked at Fang Zhengzhi in the crowd. His expression was somewhat gloomy. He didn't openly run to the roll stone to humiliate Fang Zhengzhi like the previous time. Instead, he chose an extremely good seat and gazed into the distance.
But precisely because of this, he was even more unhappy.
The great Young Master Meng was actually afraid of a country bumpkin making the roll again? This was a disgrace!
…
The results official always appeared on time, neither too early nor too late. It was as if he had calculated everything perfectly.
The examinees began to get excited. Because, the release of the second round of theory examination would directly determine whether any of them would be able to enter the combat examination.
Just like the previous time, after the result official pressed the square stone into the groove of the roll stone, a faint golden light lit up.
What was different was that this time, the number of people on the Second-Class Roll was reduced by half, and the names were even bigger. But, the examinees' hearts turned cold.
The Law of Dao examination was too competitive!
At this moment, Li Huer and Meng Jiangshan widened their eyes and searched for their own names. Fang Zhengzhi, on the other hand, had a leisurely expression on his face.
Second-Class Roll?
That was for others. He really had no interest in it.
"Hahaha … I'm up, I'm up again!" Li Huer finally found his name at the end of the list, and his face was full of excitement.
"I'm going too!" Meng Jiangshan's ranking was close to Li Huer's, and he was even two places ahead of Li Huer.
Then, both of their gazes turned towards Fang Zhengzhi. Just as they were about to speak, the examinees beside them shouted out.
"Fang Zhengzhi failed!"
"Hahaha, Fang Zhengzhi's name is not on the list!"
"Don't be anxious, there's still the First-Class Roll!"
A few examinees shouted. Although there were some who managed to wake them up in time, their tone and expressions seemed to be saying, first-class roll? Just based on this sleeper, he was able to enter the First-Class Roll once more.
Dream on!
"Zhengzhi, don't worry, there is still the First-Class Roll! Maybe your luck will be good, and you'll be able to make it up again! "Li Zhuangshi also consoled him, but his face was full of joy.
Amidst the discussions, the First-Class Ranking was finally released.
There were twelve names, and each name was as big as a bucket. It was difficult to miss them.
"Not in the first-class list!"
"There's no Fang Zhengzhi, hahaha … this time I really failed!"
"There's no possibility of dog-shit luck anymore!"
"Indeed, a sleeper should fail!"
After a while, the crowd was completely excited, as if they were celebrating the new year. Every one of them almost cried tears of joy.
There was even a slightly braver examinee who walked in front of the result official.
"May I ask sir, is there anyone missing from the First-Class Roll?"
"Naturally there isn't!" The result official shook his head, then added another sentence. "The First-Class Roll has a total of fifteen names, twelve will be announced. The remaining top three in the theory examination will be announced personally by the Imperial Messenger!"
When the result official finished, the crowd began to laugh.
How could the top three of the theory examination have anything to do with Fang Zhengzhi? Naturally it had nothing to do with him. The top three of the theory examination didn't depend on the results of one round, but the combination of two rounds of theory examination.
In the previous round, Fang Zhengzhi only managed to get into the First-Class Roll because of dog-shit luck.
Even if he ranked first in this round of theory examination, combined with the results of the previous round, he definitely wouldn't be able to enter the top three.
In reality, this was also the reason why Meng Jiangshan didn't participate in the second round of theory examination. Because, after the results of the first round of theory examination were annulled, there was no longer any meaning in participating in the second round of theory examination.
"Ha ha ha … top three of the theory examination, if Fang Zhengzhi can enter the top three, I will take off my clothes and run a lap around the Huai An County!" The examinee who previously shouted that he would drink the entire River of Trust dry instantly changed his vow.
"One lap? If it was me, ten laps wouldn't be a problem! "The other person also followed up, his face full of smiles.
"Is this true?" Within the crowd, a weak voice rang out.
The examinees turned to see that it was Fang Zhengzhi.
"Of course! This young master has always been a man of his word! "
"Everyone can be my witness, I definitely won't go back on my words!"
When the two of them saw Fang Zhengzhi, they instantly began to laugh. If it was said that they were previously worried that Fang Zhengzhi would run into dog-shit luck again, now, they didn't have any worries at all.
"Do you dare to write a word as proof?" The edges of Fang Zhengzhi's mouth curved into a smile.
"I dare, why wouldn't I dare! What if you can't enter the top three? "When one of the young masters heard Fang Zhengzhi's words, he instantly replied respectfully.
"These two hundred taels of silver, take as much as you want!" Fang Zhengzhi fished out two hundred taels of silver from his pocket.
"Good! Everyone please be my witness. Today, I will make a bet with Fang Zhengzhi. If he can enter the top three, I will take off my clothes and run a lap around the Huai An County! "
"I will run ten laps!"
The two of them weren't afraid at all, and were filled with confidence. In the first round, they merely entered the First-Class Roll later, no matter what, it was impossible for their overall results to enter the top three, it was simply impossible!
Fang Zhengzhi was similarly filled with confidence. Because, he knew very clearly why he entered the First-Class Roll in the first round of theory examination. Since this Imperial Messenger could turn his fake proof into real proof.
Then, naturally, he was a "knowledgeable person".
Judging from his second round of theory examination, it was almost impossible for him to fail. But now, he failed the Second-Class Roll, and similarly failed the First-Class Roll!
The result was very obvious.
There would definitely be a place for him in the top three.
"Zhengzhi, don't be rash, this is two hundred silver notes. It is already a fact that you failed, you better accept the truth!" When Li Zhuangshi saw the two hundred silver notes from Fang Zhengzhi's pocket, his expression instantly changed.
Two hundred silver notes, it really wasn't worth it to take it out just to gamble.
"No problem!" Fang Zhengzhi waved the two hundred silver notes.
On the other hand, as if afraid that Fang Zhengzhi would change his mind, the two examinees who made the bet immediately fetched a piece of paper and ink, and quickly wrote down a word. Then, they each pressed their handprints on it.
"From now on, the Huai An County has another ancient legend …" Fang Zhengzhi gazed at the rippling River of Trust in the distance, and let out a long sigh. He gave a thumbs up to the thick brush stroke he had written for this ancient city.
