Chapter 66: Pressure
"Determined to win?!"
So that's how it is. The position of archery coach is a lucrative one, involving too many interests.
The Dong family had been eyeing this piece of fat meat! They thought it was foolproof, but they never expected that Fang Zhixing would suddenly show up.
The cooked duck actually flew away! Fang Zhixing intervened and ruined the good thing. How could the Dong family let it go?
Luo Kezhao is completely on the side of the Dong family. The interests of the two families are highly intertwined, and they advance and retreat together.
Once you understand the interests involved, everything becomes clear.
No wonder Luo Kezhao kept making things difficult for Fang Zhixing and finding fault with him.
It turned out that Fang Zhixing accidentally touched their group's cake.
But what they didn't know was that Fang Zhixing didn't actually have such big ambitions for the position of archery coach.
His goal is to obtain the subsequent skills of "Iron Mountain Kung Fu", which is the real thing.
Becoming an archery instructor was purely an accident.
So Fang Zhixing smiled bitterly and spread his hands, saying, "This is a big problem. If I win, the Second Young Master will definitely be unhappy. He will definitely cause trouble for me and make things difficult for me in the future. If I had known this, I would have simply admitted defeat."
Lu Anfu patted Fang Zhixing on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother, you have to think carefully about how to deal with this matter. The intricacies of it..."
Before he could finish his words, Lu Anfu suddenly stopped talking.
The housekeeper Wen Yuwen walked out of the door and came straight to the two of them.
Wen Yuwen first glanced at Fang Zhixing, then bowed to Lu Anfu and said with a smile: "Master Lu, the second young master asked me to bring you a message."
Lu Anfu's smile faded and he said seriously, "Please speak."
Wen Yuwen said slowly: "The Second Young Master said that in order to prevent Master Fang from being distracted and to go all out to deal with the competition, please hand over the subsequent exercises of the Iron Mountain Kung Fu to Master Fang in ten days."
As soon as these words came out, Lu Anfu's face twitched, and his expression suddenly became complicated.
Fang Zhixing remained calm, but his heart was filled with turmoil.
Wen Yuwen continued, "Master Lu, the second young master also said that the master only asked you to pass on your skills to Master Fang, but did not say when. Is it okay to do it ten days or half a month later?"
Lu Anfu smiled bitterly and replied, "Second Master, what you said makes sense."
Then, Lu Anfu patted Fang Zhixing on the shoulder again and sighed, "Brother, take care of yourself."
He turned and left.
Wen Yuwen glanced at Fang Zhixing again, then turned around and walked in silently.
The night was cold and quiet. Fang Zhixing stood in front of the gate, surrounded by two stone lions. The lions' mouths were wide open, and their appearance was a little ferocious, as if they were about to choose someone to devour.
“Hahaha~”
Suddenly, a burst of wild laughter entered Fang Zhixing's mind.
The thin dog rolled over and over on the ground, laughing.
"Fang Zhixing, you must be frustrated!"
The little dog saw and heard everything and could not help but lie on its back, kicking back and forth in joy, gloating over other people's misfortune.
He sneered, "I knew it wasn't that simple. With your character, even drinking cold water would get your teeth stuck."
Fang Zhixing looked up at the sky, his lips curled up, and he said calmly: "What are you laughing at? Why do I feel that this matter is becoming more and more interesting?"
The dog was stunned for a moment, then he stood up, blinked and said, "What's so interesting about this?"
Fang Zhixing sneered and asked back: "Do you know what the biggest taboo in the workplace is?"
Little Dog had no idea that he had never had a proper job.
Fang Zhixing said carefully: "As a subordinate, you should never question the authority of your leader. Even if the leader is wrong, you should believe that it is right and firmly support him. Similarly, as a leader, you should never let your authority be shaken."
Xigou is most annoyed by these bullshit workplace unspoken rules, and said disdainfully: "Speak human language."
Fang Zhixing said carefully, "I am the archery coach appointed by County Magistrate Luo Peiyun himself. It has been officially announced. However, before I even got a chance to sit down, someone openly questioned Luo Peiyun's decision and even tried to use some tricks to force me to submit and drive me away. Isn't this a slap in Luo Peiyun's face?"
Xigou hesitated and said, "But the person who did this is Luo Peiyun's biological son."
Fang Zhixing sneered, "There is no family affection in the face of power. Luo Kezhao openly challenged his father's authority, which is a big taboo!"
Xigou didn't believe it and questioned, "If it's true as you said, why didn't Luo Peiyun stop Luo Kezhao from doing evil?"
"Are you blind? Why didn't you stop it?"
Fang Zhixing sneered.
The dog glared and shouted, "Who is blind? I saw it from the beginning to the end. When did Luo Peiyun stop Luo Kezhao?"
Fang Zhixing said calmly: "Do you know what I am most looking forward to at this banquet tonight? I really want to know whether the Archer Battalion has been transferred to the command of Luo Kezhao, the Infantry Commander.
I want to know if I am the second in command or the third in command.
However, Luo Peiyun never mentioned a word from beginning to end, and the answer was self-evident. The Archery Battalion was established as an independent team and was not under the jurisdiction of Luo Kezhao.
From now on, I will be on the same level as Luo Kezhao and Ding Zhigang! Think about it, why did Luo Peiyun do this? "
Xigou was startled and clicked his tongue, "Are you saying that there is a rift between them?"
Fang Zhixing replied: "It's hard to say whether there is any grudge, but Luo Peiyun must be dissatisfied with his son and doesn't want to give him more power."
The dog suddenly realized and said with bared teeth: "If that's the case, why did Luo Peiyun agree to let you compete with the Dong family?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Fang Zhixing said carefully: "This is called cunning. Luo Peiyun is not a fool like Luo Kechen. If I am not mistaken, the cause should be that the Dong family stretched their hands too far, which has aroused Luo Peiyun's disgust. Luo Peiyun should be looking for an opportunity to give the Dong family a warning."
Xigou felt that his brain could no longer keep up.
Fang Zhixing looked relaxed and said with a smile: "Hehe, I was personally chosen by the county magistrate. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to lose this round."
The thin dog listened carefully and was speechless for a moment, so he raised his head.
Then Fang Zhixing turned around and walked into the gate. The stars in the sky were shining brightly, as if they were twinkling for him.
…
…
At the same moment, Luo Kezhao entered the second wife's room.
The second wife, Dong Mingxuan, and Dong Xianrong were waiting for him to come back.
"Son, how are you?" asked the second wife.
Luo Kezhao sat down and said, "You know what, Fang Zhixing is quite capable. Not only is he good at speaking, he's also quite courageous. He wasn't intimidated by me."
The second wife and the Dong family father and son couldn't help but look at each other.
"But he was still very green and fell into my trap!"
Luo Kezhao suddenly burst into laughter.
Dong Xianrong was delighted and asked excitedly, "Cousin, what plan did you use?"
Luo Kezhao was very proud and told the story in a leisurely manner.
After hearing this, Dong Mingxuan was overjoyed and clapped his hands, saying, "What a great idea! Force Fang Zhixing to compete with your cousin in public. If he loses, he will have to give up his position as the archery coach, and no one will have any objection."
The second lady was delighted and asked, "Ten people against ten people, can we definitely win?"
Dong Mingxuan laughed and said with great joy: "This matter is actually very simple."
He turned to his son Dong Xianrong and said, "Go find that temporary instructor Gao Daxing tonight and ask him to help you select the ten best archers from the three hundred archers."
Dong Xianrong understood immediately and said excitedly: "Dad, what a good idea! The ten people on my side are the best, we will definitely win!"
Luo Kezhao waved his hand and said, "It's not certain to win yet. Don't underestimate Fang Zhixing. He has the real talent."
Dong Mingxuan laughed and said, "It doesn't matter. No matter how capable he is, I have a way to make him lose."
Luo Kezhao said, "Oh!", pricked up his ears, and said with a smile: "Uncle, do you have any good ideas?"
Dong Mingxuan smiled and said, "The 300 people in the Archery Battalion are all locals, and we know them well. No matter which ten people Fang Zhixing picked, as long as I spend some money, I can bribe them and make them obey my orders, deliberately let down their guard during the competition, and play passively, which will ensure that Fang Zhixing will lose."
"High! Really high!"
Luo Kezhao suddenly realized what was going on and exclaimed, "It's amazing!" He sneered, "If there's anyone who doesn't have eyes and refuses to surrender, tell me and I'll send someone to break his legs or kidnap his family. With threats and inducements, let's see who dares to help Fang Zhixing."
Dong Mingxuan laughed and said, "That's not necessary. Money makes the world go round. No one can resist money."
