The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Chapter 5 My Son Has the Ability to Become an Emperor

Dora Yue'er's face looked extremely ugly. She looked at Jiang Fan, her whole body shaking slightly. She was angry and scared!

If Jiang Fan were allowed to answer all three questions, then their Beimeng plan would be in vain!

"What? Princess Dora, are you scared? If you are, you can admit defeat... I will save your face!" Jiang Fan looked at Dora Yue'er coldly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Hmph... This princess has never been afraid before. You can't answer the third question!" Dora Yue'er said confidently.

"Really? Your third question is about making fire without flame. How difficult is that? I have several methods of making fire without flame. I wonder how many you want?" Jiang Fan looked at the other party jokingly when he heard it.

The so-called flameless fire means making fire out of nothing without using a fire starter or open flame.

In fact, as long as one has a wide range of knowledge, these people can figure out this question. However, these court officials are used to living a life of luxury and probably would not think of the ancient people's method of drilling wood to make fire.

"Ah! There are actually several more. He must be bragging. Does he think he's proud of himself just because he answered two questions correctly?" A court official said sourly upon hearing this.

Jiang Fan solved two problems in a row, which not only shocked everyone present, but also made some people jealous and ashamed.

How could they be willing to be outdone by a useless prince?

"Exactly. I think he is really floating! Who does he think he is, the God of Fire?"

"I think he can't solve the problem and is just trying to scare people!" Several sour voices rang out in the audience.

Duo La Yue Er, who was originally frightened by Jiang Fan, immediately came to her senses and said coldly: "If you can find a way to make fire, I will admit defeat sincerely. If you can't do it, then it will be counted as you, Dayan, have lost three games!"

As soon as she said this, everyone present changed their expressions and secretly cursed Duo La Yue'er for being shameless.

Dayan obviously solved two problems, so even if he couldn't solve the third problem, it would at most be a draw. If it comes to winning or losing, Dayan should be considered the winner.

But she actually took this opportunity to turn the situation around. I'm afraid she has lost face.

Emperor Yan opened his mouth and wanted to stop him, but when he saw Jiang Fan's confident expression, he felt an inexplicable trust in his heart and looked at him calmly.

Jiang Yi was delighted when he heard this. He hoped that Jiang Fan would agree. As long as Jiang Fan lost, he would be guilty of a great crime.

Jiang Fan just smiled and said to Princess Dora:

"Princess Dora, what a calculation! If you lose, you lose, but if I lose, I will lose the whole game. This is not fair. How about this? If I lose, you win the whole game. If you lose, you will lose 10,000 war horses to me. How about that?"

As soon as he said this, Emperor Yan's eyes lit up, and the look he gave Jiang Fan was filled with even more affection.

He felt that his son was a worm in his stomach, who even thought of his desire for a war horse.

He really wanted to say to Jiang Fan, son, just go for it, charge forward, I’ll back you up.

Hearing this, Dora Yueer opened her mouth and met Jiang Fan's indifferent gaze. She said sullenly, "Okay! This princess accepts it!"

She knew that if she didn't agree, Jiang Fan would not give her a chance to make a comeback.

Although she felt a little nervous, she still felt that Jiang Fan was bluffing.

Jiang Fan smiled upon hearing this, and said calmly: "Princess Dora, have you ever heard of drilling wood to make fire..."

As soon as he said this, everyone at the scene was stunned, and Dora's pupils shrank slightly.

Drilling wood to make fire was her answer. She never thought that Jiang Fan actually knew the answer. Her face turned pale and she stepped back. She lost, she actually lost!

Upon hearing this, all the court officials blushed with shame and could not raise their heads. Damn it, why didn’t they think of using the method of drilling wood to make fire? This is how the ancients made fire.

Unfortunately, they have been accustomed to a life of luxury and have long forgotten how the ancients obtained fire.

However, just when Dora was in despair, Jiang Fan smiled and said to her: "Princess Dora, in order to convince you, I can use another method to make fire instead of drilling wood!"

Having said this, he ignored the puzzled faces of the crowd, took out a piece of glass from his body, and went outside the hall. It was almost noon and the June sun was shining in.

The piece of colored glass in his hand was a fragment of colored glass picked up by the original owner. The original owner didn't know if he had nothing to play with, so he polished the fragment into a magnifying glass. It came in handy at this moment.

Amid the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Jiang Fan took a piece of paper, placed the glass in the sunlight, and used the direct sunlight to focus the light on a certain spot on the paper.

After a few breaths, the paper suddenly began to smoke. Everyone was stunned and stood there. It was actually smoking. How could this be possible?

Before everyone could react, the smoking part of the paper quickly caught fire, and the fire was terrifying.

"Really...really got the fire..." Someone's voice trembled slightly, revealing a strong sense of disbelief.

Sitting on the dragon throne, Emperor Yan, whose heart was in his throat and who was afraid that Jiang Fan would make things worse, could not help but stand up and slam the dragon table.

He was almost about to open his mouth and shout, "My son has the qualities to be an emperor!"

He never thought that this son whom he had neglected would have such great ability. He really used the second method of making fire, and Duo La Yue Er was convinced of his defeat.

The more he looks at Jiang Fan, the more he likes him.

"Princess Dora, are you willing to admit defeat now?!" Emperor Yan looked at Dora Yue'er, with uncontrollable pride on his face.

Duo La Yue Er looked at Jiang Fan in despair. She opened her mouth and felt bitter. She lost, completely.

The seemingly insignificant prince in front of her used the second method of making fire, which made her admit defeat wholeheartedly. She had no choice but to acknowledge it.

"Your Majesty, I admit defeat!" She came to her senses and said to the Emperor, "I will go back immediately and present to Your Majesty the cession of territory, compensation and marriage letter!"

She bowed to Emperor Yan, looked deeply at Jiang Fan, turned around and left the Taiji Hall with her men.

The figures of these few people no longer had the arrogance and complacency they had before, and they looked lonely and dejected.

Seeing this scene, Emperor Yan felt that all the frustration and depression in his heart were swept away. He laughed heartily and turned to look at Jiang Fan:

"Okay... okay, my son of a unicorn... hahaha... my son of a unicorn! Someone, pass on my decree to confer the title of King of Qin on the eighth prince Jiang Fan, and to reward him with 2,000 private soldiers, 50 eunuchs and palace maids each! Ten thousand taels of gold!"

As soon as he said this, there was a sudden silence at the scene. Everyone looked at Emperor Yan in astonishment. Jiang Yi was so angry that he was shaking all over. Even though he went out to open a government office and build a mansion, he was not crowned king.

Once you are crowned king, your identity as the heir is truly confirmed. Even if you are not the only one, the one who is crowned king first will have enough advantages.

Jiang Yi never thought that Jiang Fan, who he almost killed not long ago, would be crowned king before him. He wanted to kill Jiang Fan on the spot.

"Father... my eighth brother is young... he has not done anything yet... how can he be crowned a king..." Jiang Yi mustered up his courage and knelt before the Emperor of Yan.
