Chapter 332: Are you both blind?
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations
Two middle aged men stepped forward.
One was a heavily bearded man wearing heavy armor. He held a black axe in his hand. The second one was a dark skinned bald man. He had two wolf fang like weapons on his back.
They looked at each other, unspeaking, when they heard the princess's orders.
With the silver horned wolf squad and 20,000 soldiers surrounding the area, he would not be able to escape even if he had wings. Furthermore, there were two generals escorting him.
This was quite the flawless plan.
Even though everyone felt that there was still an inherent risk in this plan, they knew that it would be impossible to change her mind.
All they could do was increase the security. How powerful can a 'scout' be?
Fang Zhengzhi wanted to fly. He even wanted to drag this princess into the sky with him. He wanted to get out of this god forsaken place.
”Then... can I ask another question?” Fang Zhengzhi said weakly.
”Speak!” The lady was visibly exasperated.
”If, and just if, I win, what happens?” Fang Zhengzhi looked at the princess excitedly.
All of the generals were stunned when they heard this. Then, they all burst out laughing.
”This guys wants to win? Hahaha... does he not know that the ”Mountain Rain” princess is the best female warrior in the land?”
”He must be day dreaming.”
”He doesn't even know where he stands. He really is very thick skinned.”
All of the generals could not help but laugh at Fang Zhengzhi's shamelessness.
Princess Shan Yu also began laughing. A tear rolled down her cheek. No one had ever dared say something like that in front of her.
”Okay, if you win, I will spare your life!” Princess Shan Yu could not even sit upright. She chuckled as she laid out the conditions.
”Will you release me?” Fang Zhengzhi asked.
”Release you? Hahaha... what do you think?” Princess Shan Yu looked at Fang Zhengzhi with condescension.
”I guess not.” Fang Zhengzhi nodded lightly.
”From the moment you stepped into this camp, you were never meant to walk out. Do you understand? Don't bother daydreaming anymore. Just be a good clown.” Princess Shan Yu comforted.
”Rest assured, I will make you very happy.” Fang Zhengzhi assured.
”Hahaha... good, very good! Because of what you said, even if you lose, I will not kill you! I will just chop off your fingers and toes and hang you by a string. You will tell me a joke whenever I feel like it.” Princess Shan Yu laughed.
”Thank you your highness!” Fang Zhengzhi replied 'gratefully'.
”Mm, that's a good boy!” Princess Shan Yu chuckled and left the tent.
All of the generals surrounded Fang Zhengzhi, staring at him coldly. They prepared to lunge at Fang Zhengzhi should he try anything funny,
Fang Zhengzhi moved.
He leisurely placed his hands behind his back and began to saunter out of the tent, humming a tune as he did so.
He stopped briefly when he reached the entrance of the tent. He turned to look at the two generals following closely behind.
The two generals were taken aback when they saw this. They had no idea why someone who was about to die was so relaxed.
”Open the flaps? Are you two blind?” Fang Zhengzhi chided as he looked at the two generals.
”You, you rascal, you must be tired of living! I am a general! Why would I open the flaps for someone like you?” The bearded General Tai raged when he heard Fang Zhengzhi. His domineering aura was released instantly.
”Just open it! Enough with your nagging. Do you not see the princess waiting for me outside? Are you going to take responsibility for delaying the competition?” Fang Zhengzhi continued.
”I will kill you!”
”Brother Tai, don't be rash, he is just agitating us. The people of the Great Xia Dynasty are cunning. We need to keep our calm and ensure the princess is safe.” General My advised.
”Then do you really want me to open the flap for him?” General Tai was not happy about this.
”You, open the flap!” General Mu glanced at one of the other deputies.
”Yes, sir!” The deputy did not want to do it, but the two generals outranked him by many times.
He had no other choice but to follow orders.
”Why take so long to open the flap? You speak too much rubbish.” Fang Zhengzhi glanced at the two generals in scorn. Then, he walked out confidently.
The two generals tightened their grip on their weapons as they watched Fang Zhengzhi walk out. If not for the fact that he was to compete against the princess...
They would slice him in half where he stood.
...
The sun shone brightly.
The valley of the Southern Mountain Range was blooming. A huge army surrounded it. There was an exquisite tent in the middle.
Pots of fresh flowers lined the insides of the tent.
Crown Prince Lin Tianrong squinted as he laid down on the chair. He sniffed the aroma of the various flowers, intoxicated by them.
”Your highness.” At this moment an official in a black robe walked in. He looked at the Crown Prince and bowed respectfully.
”Mm, Official Su is here? Tell me how the combat examinations are going.” The Crown Prince slowly opened his eyes and looked at the youth in front of him.
”Your highness, Wu Feng is currently in the lead. He has controlled 20 settlements and is using the Yan Ya Settlement as his base. He has almost 10,000 men under him.” Su Qing reported.
”Almost 10,000 men? He has already eliminated four people?” Crown Prince Lin Tianrong was slightly taken aback.
”That is correct.” Su Qing nodded.
