super concubine

Chapter 284
Liu Yuzhi waited for Zhang Yuanzhi to attack with determination, even with some expectation.

This is because Xiao Mo, Jiang Wenzheng, and Liu Yuzhi all reached a consensus in the An Dynasty's mission before, thinking that Zhang Yuanzhi would find himself and others, and desperately try to prevent himself from stepping down, so that he can sit down and make a big decision now. Rumors from the government discredited the envoys of the An Dynasty in the Liao Kingdom!

This should also be a way for Zhang Yuanzhi to curry favor with Yelu Hongji, to show off his Zhang Yuanzhi's talent!

Sure enough, Zhang Yuanzhi really approached Liu Yuzhi.

After hearing Zhang Yuanzhi's words, Yelu Hongji said, "Is Zhang Aiqing talking about this Tanhua Lang from An Dynasty?"

Of course it is Liu Yuzhi, everyone here is a courtier of the Liao Kingdom, except for Xiao Mo, only Liu Yuzhi is from the An Dynasty!

Zhang Yuanzhi nodded in agreement, who knew that Yelu Hongji listened and said with a smile: "Zhang Aiqing, this Tanhua Lang from An Dynasty doesn't need to write poems!"

Yelu Hongji's words were beyond everyone's expectation, apparently even Xiao Mo was also surprised.

It stands to reason that Zhang Yuanzhi launched an attack on Liu Yuzhi. As the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Hongji should help Zhang Yuanzhi, but why did he persuade him instead?
Seeing that the main hall became quiet for a while, Yelu Hongji explained: "A piece of poetry, there is a Xiao Ziheng in this world. If other people can write or not, I think that's the same thing. I think Tan Hualang should think the same way. right?"

It turned out that Yelu Hongji disliked Liu Yuzhi as a prostitute, and disdained to listen to his poems, but only said it very euphemistically!

Liu Yuzhi is not a person who likes to show off. Hearing Yelu Hongji's question, he replied: "The emperor of Liao Kingdom is very right. In front of Mr. Xiao, foreign ministers really dare not write indiscriminately! But if your country The number one scholar claimed to be stronger than Lord Xiao, so the foreign minister had no choice but to give it a try!"

Look, what is a smart person?
How well Liu Yuzhi said this, yes!Your Majesty of the Liao Kingdom, you are right. In front of Xiao Mo, I, Liu Yuzhi, are indeed inferior in poetry, but I am only inferior to Xiao Mo, not necessarily inferior to your number one scholar, Zhang Yuanzhi!

If Zhang Yuanzhi dares to say that his poems are better than Xiao Mo's, that's fine, I, Liu Yuzhi, will compete with you Zhang Yuanzhi again!

It's so easy, you don't even need to write the poems you prepared before, just use Xiao Mo to calm Zhang Yuanzhi!
Does Zhang Yuanzhi dare to brag that his literary talents are higher than Xiao Mo's?

In the past, he dared. Before seeing Xiao Mo writing lyrics today, Zhang Yuanzhi really did not pay attention to Xiao Mo. Otherwise, the rumors of Dading Mansion would not be spread so widely now!
But now, Zhang Yuanzhi didn't dare to single out Xiao Mo, after all, his song Yu Meiren was there.

If this song Yu Meiren was written boldly, that's fine, Zhang Yuanzhi can still write a sentence or two, but Zhang Yuanzhi can only be dumbfounded by this feminine style of poetry.

He can't write it at all!
As a result, Zhang Yuanzhi's face turned green, holding back!

How to do?
Zhang Yuanzhi gritted his teeth tightly, unable to hold back a single word.

At this time, an official behind Zhang Yuanzhi stood up. Zhang Yuanzhi saw that the person was the second place in this subject, and his name was Zhan Yuan!
Zhang Yuanzhi and Zhan Yuan had always been on good terms, seeing him stand up, Zhang Yuanzhi was overjoyed.

This Zhan Yuan is not very good at poetry, but he has a lot of cleverness. This can be said to be his great talent!

Zhan Yuan gave Zhan Yuan an encouraging look, and Zhan Yuan saluted Yelu Hongji and said, "Your Majesty, I have heard the name 'Bai Yi Qing Xiang' for a long time. Some people say that he is the most intelligent person in An Dynasty and the world's most intelligent person. So I feel a little dissatisfied!"

The smartest person in the world?
Xiao Mo and Liu Yuzhi looked at each other, when did he become the most intelligent person in the world?

Immediately Xiao Mo understood that this guy was putting a high hat on himself, to put it bluntly, just for the sake of the latter sentence, he wanted to compare himself with who is smarter!
Smarter than?How does this compare?
Xiao Mo became surprised, and then waited for Yelu Hongji's reply.

Sure enough, Yelu Hongji became interested after hearing Zhan Yuan's words, and said to Zhan Yuan, "Oh? Then what should we do?"

Zhan Yuan said: "Your Majesty, please allow me to compare my intelligence with the envoy of An Dynasty!"

Yelu Hongji said: "Sure!"

Then he looked at Xiao Mo: "Young Prime Minister Bai Yi won't refuse?"

Xiao Mo didn't answer, but asked: "How do you compare?"

Of course Yelu Hongji couldn't answer this question, so he glanced at Zhan Yuan.

Zhan Yuan said: "It's very simple, it's just that one person asks a question that tests intelligence, until the other party can't answer it!"

Is this a brain teaser?
Xiao Mo smiled wryly when he heard the words.

I have traveled once, back to the ancient times, and someone wants to play a sharp turn with my brain?Isn't this playing tricks?

Seeing Xiao Mo's wry smile, Zhan Yuan thought that Xiao Mo was distressed, so he felt complacent and said, "Since Mr. Xiao has no objection, let's start here!"

Xiao Mo curled his lips, looking noncommittal.

The more Xiao Mo was like this, the more Zhan Yuan rushed to come up with the questions.

"Master Xiao, listen carefully." Zhan Yuan said to Xiao Mo: "Two children are herding sheep, A said: "If I share the number of sheep with you, then your number of sheep will be equal to mine; B said: If I have the number of sheep." If I go with you, your sheep will be twice as large as mine! May I ask Mr. Xiao, how many sheep do you have on each side?"

That's it?

Xiao Mo was speechless, this is just a math problem for elementary school students, Zhan Yuan actually used such a mentally handicapped problem to baffle himself?
So he replied without thinking: "Party A has seven sheep, and Party B has five sheep!"

Seeing that Xiao Mo answered without thinking, everyone was a little surprised, because they were still counting a flock of sheep in their minds. Who knew how simple the answer was, with just a few lambs on one side!

After thinking about it, isn't it?

Party A has seven sheep, and Party B has five sheep. If the number of Party A is subtracted by one, it is six, and the number of Party B is added by one, isn’t it also exactly six?

And if one is subtracted from the number of Party B, it will be four, and the number of sheep of Party A is seven. If one is added, it will be eight sheep, which is exactly twice the number of four!
Unexpectedly, the answer is so simple!
What's ridiculous is that some military officials from the Liao Kingdom who came from grassroots rolled their eyes and muttered: "The children of that family are so delicate, how many sheep can only be herded at a time?"

If this sentence is heard by everyone, it will probably be ridiculed again!
Zhan Yuan didn't bother Xiao Mo for the first question, and his face turned ugly.

At this time, it's time for Xiao Mo to come up with a question.

Xiao Mo smiled slightly, and asked Zhan Yuan: "Dare to ask the second man, a hunter is hunting in the mountains and forests, and sees five birds on the tree, and then shoots one arrow, and one bird is hit, how many birds are there on the tree at this time?" !"

This is a very simple brain teaser. The reason why Xiao Mo used this question was to test Zhan Yuan's intelligence, and also wanted to play with him for a few more rounds.

After all, this was in ancient times, but it was rare to meet such a superb opponent who actually liked to play such clever tricks!
When everyone heard Xiao Mo's question, they all turned their heads. Don't you ask people like a fool?You shot down a bird with one arrow, and of course there are four more birds in the tree!
But Zhan Yuan's answer was: "There are no birds on the tree!"

Then everyone became puzzled, even Yelu Hongji sighed and said: "Oh, Zhan Aiqing, you are wrong!"

Xiao Mo laughed and said: "Your Majesty, the No. [-] man is not wrong!"

Right?

Everyone thought about it after hearing the words, and it wasn't until Xiao Mo told the reason that they realized that they were just fooling around!
Xiao Mo said: "The hunter shoots an arrow, no matter whether it hits or misses, anyway, there is no way there are birds in the tree, it has already flown! So the second man said that there are no birds in the tree, that is the correct answer!"

Only then did everyone suddenly realize!But in his heart he despised Xiao Mo and Zhan Yuanlai.

You guys are so smart, you are obviously more treacherous than anyone else!

It was Zhan Yuan's turn again. This time Zhan Yuan did not underestimate the enemy. After Xiao Mo answered the first question without thinking, Zhan Yuan knew that he had met an opponent today!

After thinking for a while, Zhan Yuan said to Yelu Hongji: "Your Majesty, please give me some time, I want to go home and take samples!"

Compared with intelligence, there are objects?
Everyone was speechless, but Yelu Hongji became more and more interested in the intellectual competition between Zhan Yuan and Xiao Mo, and out of joy, of course he granted Zhan Yuan's request.

As for Xiao Mo, he has no choice. After all, this is Liao Kingdom, which is his home field, so he has no choice but to cover it with soldiers!

Zhan Yuan's foot strength is not bad. After all, Liao Kingdom here is full of fine horses, and it won't take long to take one and ride back.

Zhan Yuan returned to the palace, but took out a very transparent glass bottle from his arms. The volume of the bottle was as big as a bamboo tube, but the mouth of the bottle was only the size of a human thumb!The most important thing is that there is a big egg in the belly of the bottle!

When everyone saw the glass bottle, they became curious.

How did this egg change into it?

Here comes the question, which is exactly what Zhan Yuan wants to ask Xiao Mo.

And Zhan Yuan also said harsh words, this bottle can be said to be Zhan Yuan's unique move, and Zhang Yuan who was next to him laughed happily when he saw that Zhan Yuan really took out his special weapon.

Zhang Yuanzhi also suffered from Zhan Yuan's loss on this bottle, and he still remembers it fresh!
Zhan Yuan looked at Xiao Mo, and said: "Master Xiao, if you can answer the next question, then I don't need to ask Master Xiao, I will admit defeat!"

Xiao Mo looked at Zhan Yuan with a smile, and asked back: "The No. [-] guy wants to ask me, how did the egg get into the bottle?"

Zhan Yuan nodded when he heard the words, and said, "That's right! This is the proudest work of my life, I'm sure Mr. Xiao must know about it!"

"This is actually not difficult!" Xiao Mo laughed, very innocently. "No matter what I say, Bangyan Lang can say that what I said is wrong, or even if I say something, the egg was put in by Bangyan Lang when he fired this glass bottle, and Bangyan Lang will definitely I don't admit it, so the answer below is..."

What is it?
Hearing Xiao Mo's words, all the courtiers present, Yelu Hongji, Xiao Guanyin, Liu Yuzhi who was standing with Xiao Mo, and Zhan Yuan himself became excited!
