Chapter 241
Fang Zhengzhi's mouth twitched when he heard that.
He did not know what Ping Yang meant when she said sage, but she knew that there was a saying in the Great Xia Dynasty that went 'one pavilion, four sages, 13 constabularies.'
The pavillion referred to the Heaven Dao Pavilion, whereas the 13 constabularies referred to the 13 pillars of support in the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty.
These were all powers in their own right.
However, the four sages were four individuals.
The fact that the four of them stood above the 13 constabularies was testament to the power they had.
Fang Zhengzhi did not like to be restrained, but he knew that someone of lesser power and ability would always be restrained. Only when he was at the level of the four sages could he roam the empire without restraint.
”The Heaven Dao Sage Tablet?”
Fang Zhengzhi looked into the depths of Cang Ling Mountain. He smiled as he looked past the tall dense forest and the night mist.
Cang Ling Mountain...
This was his territory!
”Oh yes, I saw you kill some people just now?” Fang Zhengzhi asked as he recalled Ping Yang's brazzen charge through the army camp.
”Is there a problem?” Ping Yang looked at Fang Zhengzhi doubtfully.
”Killing is against the law. Furthermore, you killed quite a few soldiers. That's akin to rebelling!” Fang Zhengzhi reminded Ping Yang helpfully.
”Law? I am the law! Rebel? They attacked me, they are the rebels!” Ping Yang said arrogantly, completely ignoring Fang Zhengzhi's reminder.
”Everyone is born equal. Their job is to guard the camp. How can you call them a rebel just because they are of lower rank?” Fang Zhengzhi continued.
”What's the problem? I am the princess!”
”Princess is just a t.i.tle, just like my Sword Envoy post. I can't possibly charge them simply because they raised their voice at a higher official, can I?”
”Why can't you?”
”I can?”
”Of course!”
”Oh I see, thank you your highness!” Fang Zhengzhi chuckled.
”How stupid. How can you not know this? How did you manage to become a rank four sword envoy?!” Ping Yang replied haughtily when she saw Fang Zhengzhi's expression of grat.i.tude.
Chi Guyan could not help but open her eyes when she heard this. Her eyes glimmered like stars in the night sky.
”You're getting more and more shameless!”
”Sister Yan, you're awake?” Ping Yang rushed over when she saw Chi Guyan open her eyes.
”Mm, let's go.”
”Sure!”
The deeper into Cang Ling Mountain they went, the thicker the mist was, almost as if there was a layer of dust and ash intent on blocking one's line of vision.
The mist
mist was extremely heavy near the center.
This made it the perfect hunting ground for the ferocious beasts. They had superhuman olfactory senses and night vision. They became the masters of the mountain with these talents.
”Roar!”
An earth shaking roar rang out from deep inside the forest.
The ordinary soldiers would never wander this deep into the mountain. They were just in charge of holding the perimeter. The depths of the mountain were not a place they should be in.
Ping Yang was not as calm as before. She clinged onto Chi Guyan's arm tightly. She even took some time to don her Red Flame Flower Armor.
However, the moment Ping Yang finished wearing her armor, Fang Zhengzhi covered her with a black cloth.
What a joke.
This was the depths of Cang Ling Mountain.
The gaudiness of the Red Flame Flower Armor was like a s.h.i.+ning beacon for ferocious predators to flock towards.
