The contents of the letter weren't much. It was just a simple sentence. Furthermore, based on the contents alone, it wasn't anything shocking.
It simply pointed out that in the capital examination, Fang Zhengzhi's theory examination roll champion was bought by Yun Qingwu.
Yun Qingwu bet on his theory examination roll champion?
Fang Zhengzhi was somewhat curious. He had only met Yun Qingwu once, how could she be so sure? Another thing that Fang Zhengzhi was curious about was Wu Yuer's control over information.
Yun Qingwu had asked someone to place the bet. In that case, she probably didn't want anyone to know about it. Even though Wu Yuer was the mastermind behind the scenes, she still needed some time to find out who the real buyer was.
She gave a definite answer so quickly.
There could only be one possibility. That was, Wu Yuer's control over the various matters in the River of Trust Capital had already reached an unimaginable level.
"Wu Yuer?"
Fang Zhengzhi kept the letter in his pocket, raised his head to look at a window in the Full Moon Gazing Restaurant, and smiled.
A woman, such a young woman.
Yet, she controlled such a huge underground world. To say that such a woman didn't have any hidden powers behind her, Fang Zhengzhi definitely wouldn't believe it.
"Help me tell Yu 'er that I'll come back to see her. Muah!"
Yu'er?! When the servant heard how Fang Zhengzhi called Wu Yuer, a trace of fear flashed across her face. But, she quickly regained her composure.
"Yes, Young Master Fang!"
…
Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu left.
And on the windowsill that he was looking at, a figure appeared.
It was an extremely exquisite and enchanting face. However, her face was slightly flushed as she looked at Fang Zhengzhi's departing back view.
Wu Yuer's body trembled slightly, and she spat lightly.
"Touch big?! What a number one lecher in the world, he's really … shameless! "
…
Three days later, the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty, Yan Capital City.
The tall city walls protected this ancient city that had weathered countless blood storms. As the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty, the fortifications built in this ancient city were naturally the foundation of the country's prosperity.
On top of the city walls, countless soldiers wearing shining armor and holding long spears were patrolling back and forth. Behind the city walls was the garrison of the imperial capital, Yan Capital.
Countless wooden stakes for practice were nailed deep into the ground.
On the drill ground, teams of patrolling soldiers were practicing their spear techniques. Every spear thrust was accompanied by a cold light.
At the very center of the encampment was a huge military tent made of wood. A golden flag was hung on top of the military tent with a huge "Duan" character on it. It was fluttering in the wind.
In the military tent, a young man who looked to be about twenty-three or twenty-four years old was sitting upright. His brows were sharp like swords, and he wore a white luxurious robe with a beast pattern drawn with golden thread.
"I have received news that the roll champion of the theory examination in the River of Trust Province is out!" The young man looked at an old man wearing a black and white Taoist robe.
"Your Highness, for this child to be able to stand out from the crowd, it is indeed rare and valuable. Moreover, I heard that this child had already solved the Illustration of All Creation when he was six years old. His heart of Dao is deeply rooted, why don't we …"
"Elder Wen, have you forgotten about the criminal demand notice?" A middle-aged man dressed like a scholar sitting opposite him interrupted the old man in the black and white Taoist robe.
This caused a sliver of displeasure to appear on the face of the old man in the black and white Taoist robe who was addressed as Elder Wen. However, this sliver of displeasure quickly disappeared.
"Chi Guyan's criminal demand notice shocked the world. How would I dare to forget? However, ever since Chi Guyan attained the Double Dragon Roll Champion, she entered the Heaven Dao Pavilion. In a year's time, she had never stepped out of the Heaven Dao Pavilion. Furthermore, there had never been any news about her under any circumstances. But, this time, because of a young man, she sent out a criminal demand notice. Don't tell me that this matter is not strange? "
"Yes, I have the same curiosity as Elder Wen. What do you think?" When the young man heard Elder Wen's words, he waved his hand at the middle-aged scholar who was about to speak again.
The middle-aged scholar's opened mouth instantly closed. There was not a sliver of displeasure in his expression.
"I think that, with Chi Guyan's talent, she would definitely not send out a criminal demand notice just because of a young man's momentary misconduct. I'm afraid that this letter has the intention of testing the waters!" Elder Wen replied respectfully.
"Since it's testing the waters, then if we follow Elder Wen's intentions and recruit this person into the army, wouldn't that be going against Chi Guyan's intentions?" A sliver of doubt appeared on the young man's face.
"I'm just afraid that she's not asking for the path that we're thinking of …"
"Elder Wen, please elaborate!"
"I still can't guess Chi Guyan's intentions at the moment. However, no matter what path she's asking for, as long as this person is in our army, then, the initiative is on our side. When that time comes, no matter what Chi Guyan's intentions are, it will be very convenient for us!"
"Yes …" The young man nodded his head. However, he did not immediately express his stance. He only looked towards the direction of the Heaven Dao Pavilion, as if he was thinking about something.
…
At this moment, within the Heaven Dao Pavilion, Lady Yuer looked at the slip of paper in her hands in shock. Then, she quickly turned around and ran towards the garden in the backyard of the Heaven Dao Pavilion.
"Missus, missus … That little thief attained the Theory Exam Roll Champion again!"
"Presumptuous!" A light shout rang out from the garden. Then, a young lady wearing a pink muslin dress walked out from the garden. "From now on, call him Young Master Fang!"
The young lady looked at Lady Yuer, her tone filled with an unquestionable aura.
"Yes, missus, Yuer knows her mistake!" When Lady Yuer heard this, she instantly knelt on the ground in fright.
"Haha … I didn't expect this little thief to be so hardworking these eight years. Capital Theory Exam Roll Champion?" The corners of the young lady's mouth curved into a slight smile. She raised her head and looked towards the sky, her star-like eyes glimmering with a faint brilliance.
Lady Yuer's gaze was dazed. Even though they were both girls, but, she was always shocked by her missus's looks, especially when her missus smiled.
A beauty that could topple nations, the beauty of a fairy!
"The news that I asked you to reveal to Han Changfeng, have you revealed it?"
"Missus, I've already followed your instructions and asked Wang Anhua from the Southern Mountain Village Hall of Dao to pass the message. Just as missus expected, after receiving this news, Han Changfeng revealed that little … Young Master Fang solving the Illustration of All Creation eight years ago, I reckon that news should have reached Yan Capital by now."
"Yes, Han Changfeng didn't have any other choice, he had to do this! Also, I reckon that for this combat examination, Han Changfeng should have already made arrangements. I sure want to see, under these circumstances, how is this little thief going to pass this combat examination? "
"Missus, Yuer doesn't quite understand. On one hand, you sent out the arrest warrant, on the other hand, you announced to the world that Young Master Fang solved the Illustration of All Creation. These two matters, one has disadvantages, the other has advantages, what are your intentions?"
"There are advantages and disadvantages, only then can you use the Dao of Yin and Yang to observe the human heart. When the results of this combat examination are out, you will naturally understand completely."
"Human heart? The Dao of Yin and Yang? " Lady Yuer's face was filled with confusion. She really didn't understand, what these few matters, as well as the results of the combat examination, had to do with the human heart and the Dao of Yin and Yang.
…
A few days later, all the youths participating in the capital examination in the River of Trust Capital took off their luxurious clothes and changed into different kinds of armour.
The reason was very simple …
