On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

Murong Yan's eyes lit up: "Are you serious?!"

Gu Yunting and other ministers shouted one after another, especially Gu Yunting, whose eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"Lin Zhen! Do you know what you are talking about?!"

"If the challenge fails, do you know what the consequences will be?"

"The whole court, both civil and military officials, can't figure out this problem. How can a frivolous, uneducated dandy like you solve it?!"

"This is arithmetic! Do you know what arithmetic is?"

Faced with the questioning of the ministers, Lin Zhen did not want to respond, nor did he bother to respond.

"Zhen'er, there's no joking in front of the Emperor. Are you sure you can solve this problem?"

Lin Zhen still had to answer Lin Zhenxian's question, so he bowed and said, "Don't worry, Grandfather."

After saying that, Lin Zhen looked at Huang Zhien indifferently.

"If the Great Zhou answers, what will we say?"

Huang Zhien had long heard that the War God Lin Zhenxian had a dandy prince under his command. Now, seeing Lin Zhen dressed as beautifully as a leopard, he was even more convinced of the rumor. He sneered, "Oh, if a dandy like you could answer the questions I've been working on for ten years, wouldn't that be a laughing stock?"

"Don't worry about that. Just tell me what you will do when I answer it!"

Chu Xiling had also heard of Lin Zhen's name, but whether the rumor was true was still debatable, so she didn't dare to act rashly.

"If you can answer it, you win the question."

"Nonsense," Lin Zhen rolled his eyes. "You're trying to get something for nothing in front of His Majesty! No way! Didn't you, the Chu State, ask three questions? I'll ask three questions too. If you can answer two, we lose. Otherwise, you'll cede Beihai City to us. How do you do that?"

Although Huang Zhien was a famous mathematician, he was also an important official of the Great Chu. He certainly knew the importance of Beihai City to the defense of Daqian, and he shouted immediately.

"You bastard! Beihai City is more than ten times bigger than Qinghe!? You're asking for too much!"

Lin Zhen squinted at him with a disapproving look: "When you were trying to get something for nothing, didn't you ever think you might lose?"

In the phrase.

Before Chu Xiling came, she had never thought that Da Chu would lose, because Daqian did not have any so-called university scholars. All the people, under the education of Lin Zhenxian, valued military skills over literature and did not like mathematics.

But now Lin Zhen discovered this loophole and used it to his advantage.

Chu Xiling didn't know what to do for a moment.

Seeing she remained silent, Lin Zhen called out to the envoys, "Members of the various nations, today is the birthday of our Great Qian Emperor! Princess Qingqiu of Chu has shown no respect for superiors or inferiors, and no regard for the order of seniority. She actually raised a difficult question on the spot, trying to get something for nothing and bullying our Great Qian! Now I only ask for an equal bet, and she dares not."

"Hahahaha, please tell your emperor about this matter when you return, and tell him that Great Chu can't afford to play with it."

"Princess Qingqiu, you just mentioned the bet, but Daqian didn't mention it. It's not too late to speak out now!"

"That's right, aren't you afraid to compete?"

"A group of sanctimonious scholars were frightened into silence by a prince. It seems that the Great Chu is just like this."

"Hahahahaha."

Chu Xiling grasped the armrests of the chair with her soft hands, and a fierce struggle began in her heart.

Da Chu must not lose. Moreover, in three months' time, when fighting against Da Qian, Qinghe County will be a must-fight place. If it can be taken without any effort, it would be the best. If not, it will also be an excuse to send troops.

But Lin Zhen looked confident, as if he could really solve this problem.

What should I do?

Huang Zhien walked over and bowed to Chu Xiling: "Your Highness, please trust me. I have spent years studying this problem. There is no way Lin Zhen can solve it."

"Well, I'll trust you this time." Chu Xiling stood up and said to Murong Yan, "Your Majesty, Emperor Daqian, we are willing to accept this bet, but it's unfair. After all, Qinghe County can't be compared with Beihai City in any way. I need to add another bet."

Murong Yan was also worried.

She knew Lin Zhen's abilities better than Chu Xiling. It was already a stroke of luck that she could answer one question correctly. If she increased the stakes, she would lose all face and honor if she lost!

"Lin Zhen, are you sure?"

"Your Majesty, I am certain."

"I suggest that you wait for Dean Gu to come and fight together."

Gu Beichen?

He must have been entangled by Fatty Wang and the others, so it is impossible for him to come today.

Lin Zhen said: "It is a trivial matter, so there is no need for you to judge. I am capable of doing it alone."

"Arrogant brat!" Huang Zhien could no longer tolerate Lin Zhen's smug expression and stood up and said, "If you can answer this question correctly, I will do anything you ask me to do. I will not bargain!"

"Oh? What if I want your life?"

"Here! If you can answer this question today, I will bang my head against this golden pillar and die!"

hiss...

The old scholar is so terrifying!

Lin Zhen smiled like a night owl and looked at Chu Xiling: "Princess, what do you think?"

Chu Xiling found the matter even more interesting!

If Huang Zhien wants to gamble his life, then Lin Zhen must also gamble his life.

Whether he wins or loses, it won't cause much harm to him. If Lin Zhen loses and is sentenced to death...

Lin Zhenxian will definitely not do it, and then the situation he wants to see will appear within Daqian - civil strife!

"Okay!" Chu Xiling felt that she had thought it through, so she slammed the table and stood up and said, "The prince is indeed an extraordinary person! Since Master Huang wants to bet your life with you, will you?"

Gamble your life?

Lin Zhen curled his lips helplessly.

Even a fool knows that Lin Zhenxian would never let himself die, yet you are still making a fuss here.

Eh? wrong!

Lin Zhen suddenly felt that Chu Xiling must have other purposes.

Could it be that she wanted to see civil unrest in Daqian? This woman was thinking too simply.

Lin Zhen looked at Lin Zhenxian unconsciously.

Sure enough, the old man had been resting with his eyes closed, without even blinking.

Because he doesn't care about winning or losing.

Win or lose, Lin Zhen will not die, and Qinghe County will not be lost.

Whatever.

"Okay, I'll bet my life with Master Huang. If he wins, I die." Lin Zhen paused and said, "But if I win, he doesn't have to die. He just needs to kneel on the ground and shout three times, 'I am willing to be a dog for the Great Chu!' That's it."

Huang Zhien was so angry that he trembled all over when he heard this. He pointed at Lin Zhen and shouted, "You bastard! Confucius said to die for benevolence, Mencius said to pursue justice! I'll die if I want to. How dare you insult a great scholar like this?"

"Just say whether you dare or not!"

"I dare you! Now untie the chicken and rabbit from the same cage. If it is correct, I will do whatever you want with me!"

"Great! Listen carefully! There are chickens and rabbits in the same cage. There are thirty-five chickens and rabbits on top and one hundred legs on the bottom. How many chickens and rabbits are there? Answer: Twenty chickens and fifteen rabbits."

"What!?"

Huang Zhien's pupils trembled violently.

The ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty quickly began to calculate on paper, but unfortunately they didn't know the algorithm at all, and they still couldn't figure it out no matter how much they calculated.

Huang Zhien, an elderly man, was extremely shocked. He pointed at Lin Zhen and trembled, saying, "You're just talking nonsense! There's no calculation process at all!"
