Chapter 12 The straw man shows off his power

Zhao Xing's behavior on the grassland fell into the eyes of the three examiners on the flying boat.

Mainly because he was one of the clerks who reacted quickly and started making straw men, and his speed and production quality were quite impressive.

Other people's straw men were shaky, but Zhao Xing's straw men could run, jump, and were very alive.

"Huh? Liu Chuan Eighty-one Methods. Is this son a member of Lord Gao and an official under Lord Tang?" Chen Shijie asked.

Gao Linong and Tang Wanchun looked at each other, because they didn't know everything at all. They didn't even recognize what the method was at the beginning, let alone preach it. They didn't know how to teach it?

"He is not a junior official under my command."

"It's not mine either."

"Oh? This man's straw man spell is quite exquisite, but I don't know whose official he is."

Tang Wanchun thought: "Other than Mr. Chen, I think only Xue Lao Sinong can complete the eighty-one compilation of Liu Chuan."

Chen Shijie nodded slightly. Xue Wenzhong had been a farmer for more than a year, so it was normal for him to have more.

After his reminder, Tang and Gao also began to observe Zhao Xinglai.

Unexpectedly, he soon saw a scene in which Zhao Xing fought with others for grass, hit them with stones, and forced his colleagues to retreat.

Gao Linong hummed: "Huh, this person has a stubborn character and is just like a haystack. He actually attacks his colleagues. It's really unbearable."

Tang Wanchun glanced at him and said nothing. He was watching Chen Shijie's reaction. The leader had just praised this little official. It would be a bit foolish for you, Gao, to sing the opposite tune now.

Chen Shijie said calmly: "Farmers compete with the world for food, and it is normal to have some sharp edges. For example, Li Chengfeng, an official under Mr. Gao, I think he is usually very low-key."

Gao Linong's eyelids twitched, and he suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing just now. Even if he thought so in his heart, he shouldn't say it to his face.

"Chen Shijie comes from the barren mountains in the north and has experienced many natural disasters. I'm afraid this guy's behavior may be to his liking." Thinking in his mind, Gao Linong immediately changed his tune.

"Master Chen's opinion is too simple for me. What's more, he got to that haystack first, so it makes sense."

What does it mean to crush people to death at the first level of officialdom? This is it.

Chen Shijie struck a little, and Gao Linong immediately agreed, because he was a follower and Chen Shijie was a righteous one.

Zhao Xing was completely unaware of the discussions of the three examiners on the flying boat. After using up the third haystack, he finally left the pasture.

At this time, he had made up to seventy-six straw puppets!

Under pressure, he became more dedicated and waited until the sixtieth straw man.

The proficiency of [Fuxingcao Man] has exceeded 1000, reaching the level of 'one-turn spell'.

Therefore, the sixteen straw men at the back are faster, more agile, and more powerful.

"That's almost it."

Beside the responsibility field, seventy-six straw men walked into the field and stood with bamboo poles in their hands, like soldiers ready for battle.

Zhao Xing looked at the panel.

The vitality dropped back below 50.

"According to the current situation, the [Cloud] and [Thunder] spells will not last long. The cost of maintaining these two spells is much greater than that of a straw man."

After all, the straw man is supported by materials. It does not need to provide vitality when it is made, but moving clouds and making thunder consume more.

However, Zhao Xing decided to continue to hold on until he could no longer hold on.

After all, a straw man is not as good as moving clouds and making thunder, so there will definitely be many mistakes and omissions.

…………

In the first quarter of the Xiaoshu assessment, [Xingyun] and [Thundering] hindered almost all the ‘grain-eating birds’.

At the second quarter of an hour, the straw man came to the responsibility field and waited.

At the third quarter of an hour, the thunder frequency weakened, and grain-eating birds began to break through the clouds and come down to eat the rice, but they were stopped by the straw man.

At the fourth quarter of an hour, Zhao Xing had completely given up on the thunder. He only used the moving clouds to stop the grain-eating birds. One-third of the number rushed down, and the straw men began to drive them away with all their strength.

At the fifth quarter hour, many grain-eating birds were shot down by the straw men, but five straw men were also destroyed.

At the sixth quarter of an hour, one-third of the grain-eating birds that had been fed for a long time flew away, but the number of destroyed straw men also came to twenty-five.

At the seventh quarter of an hour, the clouds shrank. In the hot weather, Zhao Xing's vitality gradually failed. He used the straw man to attract the grain-eating birds, because the material of the straw man was also made of Yuandao rice stalks, which is the grain-eating bird.

I loved eating it, but I lost more than half of the straw men because of it.

At the eighth quarter of an hour, Xingyun shrunk by one-half and half of the field was exposed. Zhao Xing asked all the grass people to be 'sacrifice' and let the remaining grain-eating birds eat. At the same time, the fields below also began to suffer damage.

.

At the ninth quarter of the hour, a burst of bells rang in the sky, and all the grain-eating birds above and below the public fields flew away, disappeared into the white clouds, and disappeared.

"Hu~hu~"

Zhao Xing's mouth was dry and his back was sweating profusely.

But he couldn't care so much and hurriedly went to check the situation of the responsible field.

"The half acre on the south side was the most severely damaged. Because it was exposed the earliest, I treated it as a victim and led them all here."

"The damage to the remaining acres is very slight."

Zhao Xing looked around and felt a little relieved.

Looking at the straw men again, there were only eight straw men left, and each one was still incomplete. If these eight straw men hadn't reached the 'First Turn' strength, they would have fallen down long ago.

"It's over, you can rest." Zhao Xing waved his hand, and the remaining eight straw men lost their luster and fell to the edge of the field.

The heat was unbearable, and after an hour of hard work, Zhao Xing felt physically and mentally exhausted and wanted to fall asleep right away.

The wailing sounds of officials were heard everywhere.

Because this assessment was much more difficult than before, many people suffered heavy losses in their areas of responsibility.

The vast majority of people lost more than half of their lives, and even worse, they were completely eaten away.

"You worked hard for more than a month, and it's just gone?"

"Damn corneater, damn it!"

"Hey, if you are not good at studying, who can you blame? Just wait for the make-up exam."

"The best I can get in the re-examination is a C, which is just a passing grade and a waste of energy. How should I deal with the next assessment?"

"How can it be so easy to become a ninth-grade officer? The supervisor of the agriculture department has calculated that there are only more than 500 people competing for three or five places. However, for the ninth-grade general of the East Lake Army, there are three to five thousand people competing for one place!"

"Forget about joining the army, there are nearly a thousand people competing for the position of craftsman in Tiangongfang."

"I wish I was born a daughter. I heard the competition in the weaving workshop is not that great."

"Ugh~ You are too unambitious."

"..."

At this moment, suddenly dark clouds filled the sky and rain fell.

"Pitter patter~"

The raindrops were sparse and small at first, but soon became large and dense.

The temperature in the air also dropped sharply.

Zhao Xing sat down on the field and let the rain wash away.

Showers come and go quickly.

Obviously this is man-made manipulation.

After giving the officials a quarter of an hour to rest and recover, the sky suddenly turned sunny again, the dark clouds turned white, and returned to the normal Xiaoshu solar term.

A flying boat fell from the clouds to the pasture. There were three people standing on the head of the boat. They were Chen Shijie, the chief officer of the Sinong Supervisory Bureau, and his two lieutenants, Gao Linong and Tang Wanchun.

"Here we come, it's time to announce the results of the Xiaoshu assessment." Zhao Xing cheered up and walked closer to the pasture.
