"Then I have a question that I would like to ask the three adults. Can you please do it?"

"Prince, please speak." Taifu Wen said.

"Today there is one chicken, worth five; one mother, worth three; and three chicks, worth one. If you buy a hundred chickens for a hundred dollars, what are the numbers of the chicken, the mother, and the chicks?" Tong Hua had a sly smile on his face.

There was a slight expression of disdain on Taifu Wen's face.

"Four roosters are worth twenty; eighteen hens are worth fifty-four; seventy-eight chicks are worth twenty-six. Another answer: eight hens are worth forty; eleven hens are worth thirty-three;

Eighty-one chickens, worth twenty-seven. Another answer: Twelve chickens, worth sixty; four hens, worth twelve; eighty-four chickens, worth twenty-eight. How about it? Is the answer in line with the prince's wishes?

"

There was a hint of surprise on Tong Hua's face as he answered so quickly and answered multiple questions.

Tong Hua stared at Mr. Wen with wide eyes, disbelief on his face.

Mr. Wen smiled slightly: "Looking at the envoy's expression, I must have answered it correctly. Accept."

All civil and military officials in the court expressed admiration and admiration.

Emperor Sheng Tong also nodded in admiration at him.

Tong Hua knew that he had been humiliated and retreated silently.

At this time, Emperor Shengtong said: "If any other envoys have questions, let's ask them together today."

"Prince Yanyun of Qiyou has a question that he would like to ask."

"Prince, please say——"

"Nine hundred and ninety-nine cents. If you buy one thousand pears in time, nine pears will be ten cents, and seven fruits will cost four cents. Question: How much do pears cost?"

General Ye closed his eyes, meditated carefully for a while, and then said: "There are 657 pears, a total of 803 cents, and there are 343 fruits, a total of 196 cents."

"How about it, right?

I only heard Yan Yun say with some appreciation: "Your Excellency is indeed smart."

Later, the envoys from Fan Yinguo and Qiyouguo asked many more questions, all of which were answered easily by the three of them.

Only the envoy from Liulan Kingdom looked at them motionless, as if he was considering a bigger conspiracy.

"Prince, look, the envoys from the Liulan Kingdom are always silent. What's going on?" Taifu Wen asked Li Shangshu quietly. "Compared with Qi You and Fan Yin, the Liulan Kingdom is just a small country. It must not be a big deal.

!" Li Shangshu said nonchalantly.

"Is this really the case?" Mr. Wen felt that things were not that simple.

Sure enough, just when the civil and military officials of the Hundred Dynasties were triumphant, Jiang Xia, the third prince of Liulan Kingdom who had been silent all this time, finally spoke.

He took out a wooden object from his arms and said:

"This item is called the Nine Rings. It is a tribute from the surrounding small countries. This item is made of nine wooden rings. The national rings are set on the horizontal board and run through the ring handles. If your country can separate the nine rings,

Unlocking it, this further proves that your country is rich in talents and powerful. How about, is there anyone willing to give it a try?"

The three of you look at me and I look at you, but none of them have seen this thing before.

Emperor Sheng Tong also stared at this object with his eyes widened, showing an expression of surprise.

Taifu Wen took the object from Jiang Xia's hand, frowned, studied it repeatedly, and finally shook his head helplessly.

General Ye and Sun Shangshu both accepted this item, and in the end they both shook their heads helplessly.

It seems that Jiang Xia deliberately provoked a dispute and deliberately asked this question to stump everyone, and no one could answer it.

Jiang Xia said proudly: "I didn't expect that the mighty Fenglin Empire couldn't even figure out such a childish thing. It's really ridiculous."

When the civil and military officials in the court heard such mocking words, they all looked at Jiang Xia angrily, but no one dared to step forward to refute, because they really could not solve the nine links.

Emperor Sheng Tong, who was sitting on the dragon throne, also lowered his head in shame. He didn't expect that no one in his majestic Fenglin Empire could solve this childish thing. He was really ashamed.

As if thinking of something, Emperor Sheng Tong whispered a few words to the eunuch beside him, and the eunuch left.

Jiang Xia continued: "Since Fenglin Empire lacks talents and cannot even answer such easy questions, why not cede territory to pay tribute to Liulan Kingdom and let Liulan Kingdom manage it on its behalf? Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Before the emperor could speak, General Ye hurriedly said: "You are so brave, you actually talked to the current emperor like this. What crime should you do?"

"Oh?" Jiang Xia raised his eyebrows and said, "Then since you don't want to cede the land, then I ask you to solve this problem. If you can't solve it, how about asking the emperor to cede the land and pay tribute as punishment?"

"you……"

"This envoy is so arrogant! He actually said these treasonous words in front of the emperor."

"How do you untie this little thing? It looks so difficult."

The courtiers thought silently in their hearts.

The silence in the court at this time was terrifying. No one dared to even make a sound. Only Jiang Xia smiled triumphantly.

"I can untie it."

Everyone in the court looked towards the sound.

I saw a man wearing an apricot yellow robe, which highlighted the man's richness and handsomeness.

There was an arrogant look on his face, but with a bit of a strange look. His hair was tied up with a jade crown, which showed a heroic spirit. Emperor Sheng Tong was not surprised. The person who said this was none other than his son - Gao Ye.

Hua himself asked the eunuch to summon the prince.

I saw Gao Yehua slowly walking into the hall.

"See you, Father. Long live Father. Long live Father." Gao Yehua saluted Emperor Shengtong.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me!" Emperor Sheng Tong said.

"Thank you, Father!" Gao Yehua stood up.

Jiang Xia looked at Gao Yehua in disbelief and said, "Can you really solve it?"

Gao Yehua nodded.

Jiang Xia glanced at Gao Yehua, and then said mockingly: "You are young, but you are talking arrogantly. How could you have such wisdom? It's better to give up as soon as possible."

Gao Yehua raised the corners of his mouth slightly, snatched the nine-ring chain from Jiang Xia's hand, shook the nine-ring chain with one hand and said, "My lord just said, just open it, right?"

"Yes!" Jiang Xia still said proudly.

"That's good. If this palace is opened, then I hope that your Liulan Kingdom will pay tribute to our Fenglin Empire every year in the future. How about that?"

"It's a deal." I'm sorry you can't open it either, Jiang Xia thought mockingly.

Everyone held their breath and wanted to see what method Gao Yehua used to solve this nine-link chain.

Gao Yehua fiddled with the nine-link chain in his hand and said, "Actually, there are many ways to solve the nine-link chain. However, time is tight today, so I will show you the simplest method first."

People were staring at Gao Yehua intently.

Emperor Sheng Tong also looked at Gao Yehua with wide eyes, wondering how he was going to untie it.

Everyone was puzzled when Gao Yehua placed the nine-ring ring on the ground.

I saw Gao Yehua, with lightning speed, turned around and drew the sword on his waist, and struck Jiulianlian with one strike.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

On the top, the nine-link chain was immediately cut into two halves.

Everyone present was stunned. Emperor Sheng Tong stared at Gao Yehua.

Jiang Xia also froze on the spot motionless, obviously frightened by Gao Yehua's actions, and remained motionless with his mouth wide open.

Gao Yehua raised the corners of his mouth slightly, glanced at Jiang Xia with his eyes, and said, "How is it? Prince, are you satisfied with my answer?"

"Answer? What answer? You haven't solved it yet. Where can you get the answer?" Jiang Xia stammered.

Gao Yehua pointed to the ground: "Isn't this the answer you want, Prince?"

Jiang Xia looked at the ground. All the rings were divided into two and lay neatly on the ground.

Jiang Xia said with a guilty conscience: "That doesn't count, the method you used is simply not feasible."

Gao Yehua said: "Prince, don't you remember, you said it yourself just now, you can use any method, what? Now you don't want to admit it?"

Jiang Xia muttered in a low voice and said, "I forgot."

Although the voice was low, Gao Yehua still heard it and said: "The prince has forgotten, but our emperor and the civil and military ministers of the dynasty heard it clearly. Prince, do you want to default on your debt?"

"

The civil and military people in the court were chattering, talking to each other in low voices, and all staring at him.

Jiang Xia could only say, "Of course not."

"That's fine." Gao Yehua glanced sideways, looking at Jiang Xia's deflated look, and raised the corners of his mouth.

Jiang Xia breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeves.

"besides……"

Jiang Xia's heart started to rise again after he had just relaxed. The sweat on his forehead couldn't stop falling, and he said, "What else?"
