Chapter 68 Surveillance

"Don't run away, rabbit, I'll shoot!"

The ten archers were enthusiastic and kept firing arrows.

To be honest, shooting rabbits is much more interesting than shooting scarecrows, which greatly stimulates humans' desire to kill.

"Practice hard. On the day of the competition, the more rabbits you shoot, the more reward you will get. Do you understand?" Dong Xianrong asked.

"clear!"

The ten archers were excited.

They are the ten best archers among the three hundred archers, and they have live rabbits to shoot and practice with, so the conditions are not too good.

Compared with the other side, Huang Dashun and others' shooting skills are not very good, and they don't have live rabbits to practice.

All in all, the advantage is mine!

"Don't worry, Mr. Dong, we will definitely win!" The ten archers were full of confidence.

After hearing this, Dong Xianrong sneered in his heart. He had never placed hope on these ten archers.

He turned his head, waved his hand, and called: "Lao Gao, come here."

Gao Daxing ran over with a smile like a chrysanthemum on his old face, nodded and bowed: "Master, what are your orders?"

Dong Xianrong glanced at Fang Zhixing's side and ordered: "You sort out the 'good records' of those ten people and send them to my father."

Household registration in the Zhou Dynasty was divided into four levels.

The first level is noble family, aristocratic family;

The second class is good citizens, that is, ordinary people;

The third level is slave status, which is the status of a slave, such as a person who sells himself to a wealthy family as a slave;

The fourth class is those with low status, that is, prostitutes, actors, beggars and the like. Moreover, their low status is passed down from generation to generation, and their descendants will still have low status and cannot hold official positions.

Those who are qualified to be selected into the Archer Battalion are all from good families.

Hearing this, Gao Daxing rubbed his hands with a confused look on his face: "Sir, good records in the Gongbing camp are confidential, little one..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Dong Xianrong, who said directly: "If you handle this matter well, my father will give you a reward, which will be enough for your retirement."

Gao Daxing was so happy that he ran away.

Dong Xianrong turned his head, looked at Fang Zhixing for a while, sneered a few times, and turned away.

Soon, he left in a carriage, walked through the streets and alleys, and entered Hanxiang Tower with ease.

"Cousin, come quickly!"

As soon as Dong Xianrong entered the door, he heard Luo Kezhao's wild laughter.

A group of girls in fancy clothes surrounded him, singing and dancing, filling the air with fragrance.

"Cousin, you are so handsome!"

Dong Xianrong laughed, opened his arms, and jumped into the joyful atmosphere.

…

…

It was afternoon in a blink of an eye.

In the shooting range, a novel thing caught everyone's eyes, causing a crowd of archers to watch.

Fang Zhixing found a wooden board, smeared a layer of lime powder on the surface, and then used the bottom ash from the pot to draw concentric circles.

Finally, the center of the circle was painted red with borrowed rouge.

He put the plank upright.

In this way, a "rotating bullseye" was born.

"Instructor Fang, what is this?"

Huang Dashun and others' eyes widened with curiosity on their faces.

Fang Zhixing smiled and said: "This is the target I made for you. You used to use a scarecrow to practice archery, but the scarecrow was too big and lacked a focus. With this target, you only need to aim at the red dot in the center to practice archery. It will definitely improve shooting accuracy.”

Everyone suddenly realized it and felt it was magical.

Afterwards, everyone started to help, and dozens of targets were quickly made and placed one by one.

Huang Dashun and the others abandoned the scarecrow and used rotating bullseye practice instead.

Before I knew it, it was evening.

Fang Zhixing finished the day's training and returned to the other courtyard, had dinner and took a shower.

Xigou couldn't help but send a message and asked: "Are you serious? Are you really going to teach those people everything you have?"

Fang Zhixing replied: "What a teaching with everything, I just taught them a little bit. You don't think that archery can be easily learned."

The quality of those archers is very poor, and most of them are mediocre. Even if they practice hard for ten years, only a small number of them can reach the level of ordinary archers. "

Xigou asked in confusion: "In that case, you are still so serious? What are you trying to do?"

Fang Zhixing replied angrily: "Can you please use your brain? This competition is not my stage, nor Dong Xianrong's stage, but a game set by Luo Peiyun. Everyone is his chess piece, everyone's Every move is under his control.”

Xigou's heart skipped a beat and he asked in surprise: "You mean, we are being monitored by Luo Peiyun?"

"You just realized it. You're a dog. Didn't you realize that I'm being watched all the time? What's the point of raising you?" Fang Zhixing was speechless.

The thin dog was extremely embarrassed and said angrily: "Although I am not a human being, you are a real dog!"

…

…

Night falls.

Wen Yuwen walked into Luo Peiyun's study.

"master."

Wen Yuwen walked to Luo Peiyun and handed over a document respectfully.

Luo Peiyun opened the document and read it carefully.

On the document, all of Fang Zhixing's actions today were recorded, including when he got up, what he ate, what he did on the school grounds, what he said, etc., every detail.

"Oh, he made a new target?"

Luo Peiyun's expression suddenly changed, and he was filled with surprise and said: "This guy is really talented. It seems I have picked up a treasure!"

Wen Yuwen smiled and said, "Half a year ago, 'Li Banxian' told you that you would have great luck and good fortune. It seems that his words have come true."

"Hahaha!"

Luo Peiyun couldn't help but laugh. After a moment, he suddenly changed the subject and asked, "How is the investigation going on with that matter?"

Wen Yuwen said seriously, "Master, you only notified Songlin Temple two days in advance that you were going to burn incense and pray, but the pirates had already prepared for the assassination before that, so the person who leaked the news was not from Songlin Temple."

Luo Peiyun's face sank, and he said coldly, "In other words, the person who leaked the news has been around us all the time."

Wen Yuwen nodded and said, "Well, there are very few people who knew about this in advance. There are only five people who are responsible for your travel safety, namely Chief Constable Ding Zhigang and four constables."

Luo Peiyun asked, "Have you locked on to who it is?"

Wen Yuwen lowered his head and whispered.

After hearing this, Luo Peiyun looked angry and slammed the table angrily.

"The last time pirates robbed our military pay, I suspected that there was a spy around me!"

Luo Peiyun's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

The military pay issue was extremely confidential, and there were only a few people who knew the inside story, all of whom were close to him.

Luo Peiyun made a little investigation and found out who was the most suspicious, but he lacked solid evidence and could not be completely sure.

This time, the other party finally showed his feet.

"Master, can we arrest people?" Wen Yuwen asked.

Luo Peiyun suddenly calmed down and said lightly: "No hurry, we have to fill the hole in the military pay first, this is the top priority."

Wen Yuwen understood and nodded: "Then follow the plan you set before and carry out the next step."

"Well, do it."

Luo Peiyun sat down slowly, picked up the document again, read Fang Zhixing's action record, and his eyes were filled with admiration.
