After hearing this, Zhuang Yan turned his empty cup and murmured: "Knowing his own disadvantages, knowing how to use limited conditions to seek the greatest benefit for himself, this woman is also a person who can judge the situation. Zhu Lao is very fond of face, and he can indeed be called his ancestor, so he will not object."

"Not----" Jutong thought of Zhu Lao's promise at that time, and found it interesting. Zhu Lao didn't expect that he would lose.

"The girl's title was somewhat similar to Zhu Lao. It is said that Prince Zhou was convicted of Zhao, and the King of Zhou passed away. Prince Zhou wanted to return to Zhou in exchange for ten cities. King Zhao happily agreed to let Prince Zhou go back.

After Prince Zhou returned to the country and ascended the throne, King Zhao sent people to ask for ten cities. The New Zhou king was in a dilemma, so if he gave it, he would remove half of the country. If he didn't give it, he would have bad reputations as soon as the New Emperor ascended the throne, and would also make jokes about neighboring countries."

Zhuang Yan smiled slightly: "She asked Mr. Zhu to come up with the best of both worlds?"

Ju Tong shook his head and said, "No, that girl gave three answers instead, and asked Lao Zhu to choose.

First, we agreed to present ten cities, which is to show that the Zhou State keeps its promise and then send troops to attack and retake the city, which is to show that the Zhou State's troops are strong.

The second choice is not to give it to him, but a general recommended himself to go to the city stationed. This person is brave and good at fighting. With him, he will be helpless even if Zhao wants to seize the city.

The last choice is to ask for help from the powerful Liang State, and Zhou Liang joins hands, so Zhao State will definitely not dare to act rashly;"

Zhuang Yan drank in a small sip and nodded slowly: "It's indeed three good ways."

The person who could think of these three methods was definitely not a fool. He looked at the table downstairs again, and a thoughtful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"With the character of Zhu Lao, he will definitely choose the second one. If the ten cities are really taken back, the time, energy, manpower and financial resources he has spent is immeasurable, and he cannot give up people from the beginning."

Ju Tong said in admiration: "The master is wise. Although Zhu Lao is worried about fraud, hesitating for a while, he finally chose the second one.

In his opinion, Zhao Qiang was unkind to keep Prince Zhou as a hostage, and he would do unrighteous actions to unkind people. What's more, just a verbal promise. As long as Zhou Ya denies it, Zhao would be unable to bite the turtle."

Zhuang Yan chuckled: "But he admitted that he lost, so I guess there is still some mystery in this question."

"It was-----" Jutong slowly recalled the situation at that time. He had a good memory, and he deliberately remembered those words from Yao Si.

"In fact, this is a question with no answers. Which answer you choose has different personal positions, and no choice can be said to be wrong.

But the girl gave the most correct answer:

The King of New Zhou first sent envoys to Zhao State for sale, and on the second day he sent the brave and warlike general to the fortress to guard, and on the third day he sent advisers to Liang for help.

Zhao learned that Zhou was willing to serve the city and sent troops to take over, but the general claimed that he wanted to live and die with the country and would rather disobey the sacred order than defend the fortress.

Zhao questioned the envoy, but the envoy said that the general disobeyed the holy order and wanted to rebel, so he proposed to attack. Zhao returned to mobilize the army to prepare for the attack for ten cities.

However, before Zhao's army reached the fortress, Liang had already approached Zhao's western border under the banner of upholding justice. In order not to lose the western border, Zhao had to withdraw his troops and arrive in Liang.

With Liang in it, Zhao must not dare to ask for those ten cities."

Because the memory is too clear, Jutong almost conveyed Yao Si's words.

He looked at Zhuang Yan and waited for the latter's next order. However, after seeing Zhuang Yan's eyes change significantly, he knew that the master was interested in the girl.

"Master, do you want your subordinates to bring that girl here? Qiu Xin's family has already met her, and there is something that has caused half of the city today. No matter which family the girl belongs to, it will be very unfavorable to you."

Zhuang Yan hesitated for a moment and suddenly said, "Tell me the poem again."

Ju Tong immediately read Yao Si's poem again.

Zhuang Yan asked again: "Read the limerick that was circulating in the capital in the past, and listen to it."

Ju Tong read the unknown limerick again, and then looked at Zhuang Yan waiting for his words.

Compared with Zhuang Yan and his smile became more and more intense, and he suddenly said, "Don't you think these two poems look like they are from the same person?"

"Master means-------" Ju Tong was shocked, but immediately reacted and said excitedly: "I only found out that the limerick was from a candidate who took the exam in a certain county, but I can't find out where it was. If-----------------------------------------------"

He could not imagine that a little girl had such talent and courage. Perhaps her talent was easy, but her perseverance to dare to resist was not to be underestimated. It was no wonder that she could take the county exam.

Although a person is small, his heart is big. Isn’t this the same as his master?

Ju Tong didn't dare to say such words, he just dared to think silently in his heart and wait patiently for Zhuang Yan's instructions.

Zhuang Yan pondered for a long time before drying the wine in the cup in one mouthful, and then said, "Take her here tonight."

"Yes-------" Ju Tong replied. He turned around and stepped down to prepare for the matter.

Qiu Ji returned to the table and saw four dissatisfied people quarreling.

In fact, the few people are about the same age, the younger one is twelve or thirteen years old, and the older one is only fifteen or sixteen years old. When one person makes trouble, the others start to make trouble. After drinking some wine, they start talking nonsense.

Yao Si first saw Qiu Ji, stood up, pointed at him and muttered, "You are unreasonable, you lost my flesh and hurt my brother to compensate me. You have to be responsible for this matter, you have to accompany my flesh."

Qiu Ji looked at her silently, pulled open the stool and sat down, and poured a cup of tea on his own.

When Yao Si saw him ignore him, he felt uncomfortable. He grabbed the cup from his hand and then stretched out his hand and said, "You have to accompany me. If you don't accompany me, you won't leave today."

The pink little face was as tender as if it could be pinched out of water. The rosy lips were slightly pursed, and he stretched out his hands to look at Qiu Ji persistently, but when he looked closely, he would reveal that his originally clear eyes were already a little confused.

"I can't drink and I'm crazy, crazy, crazy------" Qiu Ji glanced at her, turned her side, took the cup and poured herself a cup of tea.

Before his teacup was placed on his lips, there was one more person next to him, but Yao Si walked staggeringly to him.

She supported Qiu Ji's shoulder with one hand, and stretched her index finger with the other hand and gently poked Qiu Ji's cheek, and said with a smile: "I'm drinking, you are the crazy person who is drunk, my name is Yao Si, Yao Si-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Qiu Ji immediately showed disgust, his eyebrows frowned into the word "king", slapped Yao Si's hand off, and turned around again.

However, Yao Si suddenly lost support in his hands, and his body leaned crookedly and fell to the side.

When he said that, Qiu Ji almost responded to the conditioned reflex, and Yao Si was just softly slapped on his arm.
