Chapter Seventy-One: Challenging Fang Zheng
The location is naturally still Qingfeng Academy, but the location has been moved to the martial arts arena behind the academy, and three huge rings are lined up in the spacious square. +
Behind the ring is the seat of the martial arts test.
Qin was sitting among the imperial envoys, and there were two people next to him, one was wearing a black official uniform, judging from the patterns on the official uniform, it should be the county seat of Huai'an County.
The other was dressed elegantly, about forty-six or seventeen years old, with small eyes slightly squinted, and a few strands of gray hair on his sideburns.
Several invigilators stood under the ring, waiting for the golden gong for the opening of the martial arts test.
"In the first round of the martial arts test, the elimination system! Draw lots to determine the main and secondary, draw the word "main" for the champion, the champion can freely choose the opponent who draws the word "second" to challenge the opponent, win, advance! Lose, eliminate! Each person is only one game!" Qin Imperial Envoy quickly announced the rules.
This rule can be described as simple and crude.
Moreover, luck and chance are also counted in it, because the person who draws the "Lord" obviously occupies the absolute initiative.
However, the world has always been like this, and who can say that luck is not part of strength?
The lottery proceeded quickly, and one by one the candidates drew a small stone plaque with words written on each of the ten boxes, and then, after the lottery was over, names appeared on the two stones representing the primary and secondary.
Fang Zhengzhi's luck seems to be good, and he drew the word "times".
It means that his fate is decided by others.
Li Huer and Meng Jiangshan's luck is also good, and they both draw the word "times" like Fang Zhengzhi, which makes the mood of the two of them a little pessimistic, sitting in their positions and sighing, God's will makes people, and fate is unfair.
Fang Zhengzhi was in a normal state of mind, because he found a strange thing, the name of Meng Yushu actually appeared on the list stone representing the main character.
"Huh, can Meng Yushu still participate in the martial arts test?" Fang Zhengzhi was a little puzzled, but he didn't dig deeper.
Then, he soon discovered another thing that intrigued him.
An acquaintance appeared in the field.
Yan Xiu, who was wearing a set of gorgeous clothes and had a face like frost.
How could Yan Xiu enter the examination room of the martial arts examination? Fang Zhengzhi was really strange in his heart, because it was obvious that the candidates who could enter the examination room were candidates.
However, Yan Xiu had not participated in the literary examination at all, and, most importantly, Yan Xiu did not go up when the lot was drawn just now, and Yan Xiu's name was not on the list.
Come and see the excitement?
Fang Zhengzhi can only explain it in this way, however, it is quite surprising to be able to enter the martial arts examination room to watch the excitement, at least, ordinary people should not be able to do it.
Just as I was thinking about it, a voice came to my ear.
"Challenge Fang Zheng!"
Fang Zhengzhi was slightly stunned, this is just the beginning? Who has such a vicious eye, in the vast sea of people, he took a fancy to himself at first sight?
This is the first, real knockout round.
Once you lose, no matter how good your essay test score is, you will be directly out.
With his name at the top of the literary list, can't he be bluffed?
As soon as he looked up, Fang Zhengzhi understood, because the person standing in the ring was Meng Yushu, who was wearing a yellow brocade robe and a sword hanging from his waist.
At this moment, the onlookers became excited.
After the scene of the last time they released the list in the literary test, they naturally thought that Meng Yushu and Fang Zhengzhi would definitely have a battle, but they didn't expect that this battle would come so quickly, and the first one appeared.
"Meng Yushu challenged Fang Zheng, this luck is really not ordinary!"
"That's right, with the top score of the Fang Zheng Zhiwen List, as long as he doesn't lose the first martial arts test, then he can at least pass the Dao Dictionary exam!"
"It seems that Meng Yushu is determined not to let Fang Zheng be upright!"
"That's natural, if it's you, the literary test was reported by the other party, can you let him pass the martial arts test?"
The candidates talked a lot, and sighed one by one that Fang Zheng's luck was too bad, because this competition didn't need to be watched at all, and the outcome was already doomed.
After all, in their hearts, Meng Yushu was the only candidate who entered the Dao in this Dao exam.
This is a competition without suspense, but it is also the most anticipated competition.
"Your son's decision is a bit unexpected!" On the stage, the county lord in a black official uniform turned his eyes to the elegant middle-aged man next to him and smiled.
"The dog has always been very high-spirited, if you challenge some unknown people, I'm afraid that I will be ridiculed, right?" The elegant middle-aged man looked at Meng Yushu in the ring, but there was no surprised expression.
"Hehe......" Imperial Envoy Qin smiled lightly, clenched his fist under the stage, and then let go as well, without saying anything.
Li Hu'er and Meng Jiangshan looked at Fang Zhengzhi at this time.
Originally, they had almost decided that Fang Zhengzhi would definitely pass the Daodian exam, but now it seemed that there was a doubt on this recognition.
Meng Yushu......
That's the strength of the Dao, no matter how strong Fang Zhengzhi is, he can't be stronger, right?
After the two of them turned their minds, when they looked at Fang Zhengcheng again, they were also full of sympathy.
"Fang Zheng, don't be discouraged! Although you lost this time, you can take the test again in the future, as long as you don't meet such a person next time, you still have a chance!" Li Hu'er comforted.
"Yes, Fang Zheng, it's bad luck to lose today!" Meng Jiangshan also persuaded on the side.
"It's really bad luck!" Fang Zhengzhi smiled at the corner of his mouth, and then, slowly got up, and slowly paced towards the ring.
The three rings are year-on-year, and naturally other rings have also started to compete.
However, compared with the other two rings, the ring where Fang Zhengzhi is located is surrounded by candidates, and there are very few under the other two rings.
The contrast is strong, and it's a bit excessive.
Fang Zhengzhi finally got into the ring, and under the invigilator's instructions, the two of them arched their hands respectively, which can be regarded as representing friendship first and competition second.
"Light up your weapons!" After Meng Yushu finished arching his hand, he directly drew his sword, and the cold light was cold.
"It's not lit. Fang Zhengzhi shook his head.
Meng Yushu, who was about to take the lead, stopped, looked at the coarse blue robe that was square and straight, and a sneer suddenly appeared on his face.
"If you don't have a weapon, you can choose one from the audience!" Meng Yushu looked arrogant.
"I've got weapons, but I'm going to deal with you...... No weapons are required. "Fang Zheng is honest and honest.
When a sentence came out, not only Meng Yushu was stunned, but even the candidates in the audience were stunned for a moment after hearing Fang Zhengzhi's words.
Then there was a burst of laughter.
"Hahaha...... He actually said that he didn't need weapons to deal with Meng Yushu?"
"That's too much to do, isn't it?"
"I guess I think I don't need a weapon and the injury is lighter, right?"
All the candidates guessed Fang Zheng's thoughts at once, and they all fell back with laughter.
On the seat not far away, Yan Xiu's expression did not change at all, but the fingers placed on the chair moved slightly.
And the imperial envoy Qin on the judgment seat had a flash of light in his eyes.
"Don't need weapons? huh...... It's kind of interesting!"
