Chapter 336: A Huge Plot Reversal
”Fang Zhengzhi? You are Fang Zhengzhi?!”
Princess Shan Yu, who was initially lying on the animal skin, suddenly shot up . An immense shock was clearly evident on her small wheat-coloured face .
”That's right, ever since young, I was called this name . ” Fang Zhengzhi said calmly . A man never hides his name, do you have any opinions?
”Ha ha ha… Fang Zhengzhi? Ha ha ha… you say you are Fang Zhengzhi?” When Princess Shan Yu heard this, she suddenly laughed out, so hard that her entire body trembled slightly . ”Then, you are the Sword Envoy Fang Zhengzhi from the Great Xia?”
”That's right . ” Fang Zhengzhi nodded . He had never thought that his reputation would be so great . Even the princess of the Southern Mountain Range knew about him?
”You are also the double roll champion of the Imperial Law of Dao Examination, and attained joint first with Nangong Hao in this court theory examination, is that right?” Princess Shan Yu continued to ask with laughter .
”That's right . ” When Fang Zhengzhi heard this, he nodded again .
”Ha ha ha… you are really shameless enough!” Princess Shan Yu laughed so hard that the muscles in her face began to cramp, her long legs kicking furiously on the golden animal hide .
”Thank you princess for your praise . ” Fang Zhengzhi's face didn't flush the slightest bit red .
”Alright, enough jokes . Tell me your real name . ” At this moment, Princess Shan Yu withdrew her laughter, her expression indicating a trace of coldness .
”I am really called Fang Zhengzhi!”
”Do you think I look like an idiot?”
”Princess is smart and wise, unparalleled in this world . ” Fang Zhengzhi instantly began to praise her unceremoniously . This person in front of him was his real roof over his head, he didn't dare to offend her .
”Since you know that, why don't you report your name?”
”Fang Zhengzhi!”
”Do you believe I'll cut off your head right now?” Princess Shan Yu was slightly triggered .
”I believe!”
”Then, I will ask you one last time . What is your name?”
”Fang Zhengzhi!”
”Somebody come, drag this liar out and execute him!” Princess Shan Yu didn't bother bickering with Fang Zhengzhi any further and immediately shouted out towards the outside of the tent .
”Roger!” In what seemed like a blink of an eye, the curtain of the tent was pulled open . Four guards wearing rattan armour rushed in .
”Wait a moment!” Fang Zhengzhi immediately shouted out .
”What's the matter?” A faint smile formed on Princess Shan Yu's lips .
”I've changed my name . I am called Fang Zhengzheng!” Fang Zhengzhi tossed out the great principle that a man never hides his name without the slightest bit of hesitation .
”Fang Zhengzheng?”
”Yes, Fang as in Fang Zhengzheng, Zheng as in Fang Zhengzheng . ” Fang Zhengzhi said gloomily .
”This name sounds very weird . Are you toying with me?”
”Princess, what do you want? I told you I am Fang Zhengzhi, but you wanted to cut off my head . Now that I changed my name to Fang Zhengzheng, you say that I am toying with you?” Fang Zhengzhi wanted to cry .
”I am asking for your real name . ” When Princess Shan Yu said this, her voice was evidently raised .
”Fang Zhengzhi . ”
”You are really called Fang Zhengzhi?”
”If it is fake, I will definitely change it . ”
”The same Fang Zhengzhi that attained joint first with Nangong Hao in the theory examination?” The edges of Princess Shan Yu's mouth curved into a faint cold smile .
”Should I say yes, or should I say no?” When Fang Zhengzhi saw Princess Shan Yu's cold smile, a chill instinctively ran down his back .
”Tell me the truth . ”
”No!”
”That's better, at least you are honest . From what I know, that Fang Zhengzhi didn't even partic.i.p.ate in this combat examination . Furthermore, if he really came, he should be rotating among the four main settlements . Why would he run into the perimeter of my military camp alone?” Princess Shan Yu nodded her head in satisfaction, then waved her towards towards the four guards that rushed in .
The four guards instantly retreated out of the tent .
”Princess is smart and wise, unparalleled in this world . I knew that I wouldn't be able to lie to you successfully . ” Fang Zhengzhi instantly began to praise . However, in his heart, he swore silently . You are really d.a.m.n blind .
”Alright, I see that your archery skills aren't too bad . Even though the power and aura is lacking, your accuracy is at least pa.s.sable . I'll fulfill your wish of becoming my personal bodyguard . Furthermore, I'll appoint you as the trainer of archers, in charge of the archery training of the Soaring Feather Thirteenth Regiment . ”
”Thank you Princess! May I ask how many people are there in total in this Soaring Feather Thirteenth Battalion?” When Fang Zhengzhi heard this, he quickly asked .
”Three thousand!”
”Princess is truly wise and insightful, giving me such an important responsibility . I will definitely not let princess down . Then, let me ask, am I now the Battalion Chief of the Soaring Feather Thirteenth Regiment?”
”Dream on, how can it be so easy to become a Battalion Chief in my army? You are only in charge of their archery training . The rest of the matters are completely unrelated to you . ” Princess Shan Yu looked at Fang Zhengzhi with contempt .
”d.a.m.n . ” Fang Zhengzhi silently raised his middle finger .
”What did you say?”
”I said, Princess truly knows how to use people, and is a born commander!”
”At least you know how to talk . Go help me get a plate of fruits . I want fresh ones . If there is a single rotten one, I will break off one of your teeth!” Princess Shan Yu nodded, satisfied .
”Isn't one plate too little?”
”Why? Don't tell me you, a small bodyguard, wants to eat fruits as well?” Princess Shan Yu looked at Fang Zhengzhi with disdain .
”I am thinking for you, Princess . As the saying goes, good things come in pairs . Princess, imagine how boring it would be for you to eat your fruits here . If there was someone who could sit beside you and tell you stories while eating fruits together with you, it would naturally
naturally be a lot more interesting . ” Fang Zhengzhi suggested in a well-intentioned manner .
”Oh? You can tell stories?” Princess Shan Yu was somewhat surprised .
”Of course, I can tell a lot of stories . For example, Journey to the West, Nine Immortals Crossing the Sea, those must-hear stories between Sun Wukong and the White Bone Demon…” Fang Zhengzhi said proudly .
”Alright, permission granted!” Princess Shan Yu didn't wait for Fang Zhengzhi to finish speaking before replying swiftly .
”Thank you Princess . ”
As the saying goes, with an order in my hand, the world is mine .
Since he had already decided to mix himself into the military camp and become a small personal bodyguard for Princess Shan Yu, he had to be a good, ”faithful” and ”dedicated” bodyguard .
As the saying went, being a monk for a day meant banging the gong for a day .
A monk who didn't bang the gong wasn't a good monk .
Fang Zhengzhi walked out of the princess's tent in a dignified and impressive manner, his face filled with unparalleled vigour . Now, he was carrying out Princess Shan Yu's order of wanting to eat fruits . Who dared to oppose him in the entire camp?
”Hmph, little kid, you haven't died?” A cold huff instantly rang out . Then, he saw General Tai with his bearded face and disdainful look, carrying a huge axe in his hand and leading a group of soldiers patrolling towards his direction from afar .
In his heart, the main reason Princess Shan Yu didn't kill Fang Zhengzhi was because she wanted something fresh and interesting . After she got tired of him, Fang Zhengzhi wouldn't even be able to live another three seconds .
