My elder sister is so noble, this time it's my turn to strike back

If there was a circle of special effects behind him, Xiao Yuzhi at this moment would be like the boy sitting on the lotus platform, shining brightly and dazzlingly.

"Sixth Prince, please be careful with your words. As far as I know, the Mohist school is profound and extensive, and its mechanical techniques are world-famous. Without the guidance of Mohist disciples, ordinary people will probably never be able to catch up with them in their entire lives." The cabinet scholar couldn't help but remind him.

Chu Shaochen is a talent that Emperor Chu has cultivated with great effort. Since he proposed to compete in ingenious mechanisms, he must be well prepared.

The Sixth Prince was not taken seriously in the Prince's Palace before, and he only learned some ordinary subjects. How could he have ever been exposed to such Mohist scholarship?

Everyone was worried.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuche, who had been waiting for his opportunity, stepped forward and reported to Emperor Shengjing, "Your Majesty, this game not only involves the Mohist scholarship, but also concerns the reputation of our Great Xia Nation. Although I am not talented, I have some experience in Mohist techniques. I am willing to compete with the Crown Prince of Chu on behalf of my sixth brother."

As Xiao Yuche finished speaking, Empress Guo quickly echoed, "Yes, Your Majesty. The Crown Prince has been studying late into the night for several days straight, reviewing his knowledge and making up for any shortcomings, in order to perform well at the banquet. Since the Crown Prince also wishes to contribute to Great Xia, why not follow his advice? I believe he will not disappoint you."

After Queen Guo finished speaking, she looked at Wan Rongyue provocatively, as if to say, so what even if your son performs well?

If the Crown Prince could perform well in the finale, most of the credit would go to the Crown Prince. What did it have to do with Xiao Yuzhi?

Seeing the Crown Prince volunteering to fight, and with a look of confidence in his victory, the Emperor couldn't help but confirm again:

"This matter is of no small importance. Are you truly sure you want to compete on behalf of your sixth brother?"

"Father, your Majesty, I have made up my mind. I beg you to agree."

The attitude in his words seemed to show that he didn't take Chu Shaochen seriously at all.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuzhi was unwilling to give up the opportunity he had fought so hard for to the Crown Prince, so he also pleaded:

"Father, I have nothing to do with you. I am willing to continue the competition with the Crown Prince of Chu. I beg Your Majesty to agree."

Emperor Shengjing was also in a dilemma for a moment.

The Sixth Prince and the Crown Prince both asked to go to war. Who should go?

At this moment, Chu Shaochen said calmly, "Don't worry about it. Both of you can come at me together. As long as one of you can defeat me, you will win."

"Please ask the questions!"

Chu Shaochen didn't mind letting Xiao Yuche and Xiao Yuzhi go together. He had absolute confidence and courage.

He has a deadly weapon in his hand called Linglong Fang. It has six sides in total, and each side can be shuffled and then combined to form a unified color.

This is an imported product, and none of these country bumpkins in Daxia have ever seen it.

After all, they can't even solve the most basic Luban lock, so how can they restore this advanced Linglong Fang?

After consultation with other officials, Emperor Shengjing agreed to the proposal of the Crown Prince of Chu. He also decided that if the Crown Prince of Chu accidentally lost this round, he could have another round as compensation.

Soon, on the Daxia side, Xiao Yuche was the first to ask a question.

He ordered the palace servant beside him to bring up a set of nine-linked rings that looked very complicated. He said:

"I stumbled upon this item, called the Nine-Linked Rings. It has nine rings, strung together with nine nails of the same length. One end of each nail has a small round hole, completely locking it shut. If you can untie it within the time it takes to burn an incense stick, you win. How about that?"

Xiao Yuche took this thing in his hand. From a distance, everyone could see that it looked like nine rings and nine nails completely wrapped together. No matter how they twisted it, there was no way out. It was like a dead loop.

Few people have even seen such a complex object, let alone solved it.

This is simply impossible.

For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Chu Shaochen, as if waiting to see the good show of this Prince Chu.

On the other hand, Chu Shaochen's expression did not change after he saw Xiao Yuche take out this item. Before taking it, he even confirmed:

"Are you sure you want to use this as the first round of the competition?"

Xiao Yuche thought the other party was afraid and couldn't solve it at all, so he said in a tone of watching a good show: "Of course this prince is sure. Of course, if you think this thing is too difficult and want to give up on your own initiative, this prince can also reluctantly help you."

Chu Shaochen sneered and said, "You're worrying too much. I was just wondering, how could something like this, which even three-year-old children in our Chu State can play with, appear in such an important competition venue? Prince Daxia, have you really thought it through?"

Xiao Yuche felt a strong sense of insult when he heard this. He gritted his teeth and said, "Prince Chu, you are boasting without a care in the world. If that's the case, I will wait and see. Let's begin."

As Xiao Yuche finished speaking, the curve of Chu Shaochen's mouth deepened a little, and a smile of success flashed across his face.

Afterwards, his fingers were seen flying up and down the complicated nine-link chain, and his movements were so fast that people couldn't see the steps clearly.

Just as everyone was astonished, they heard a crisp "click." The nine linked rings that had been interlocked together were actually untied. Several individual rings even rolled to the ground, and the long nails inside were separated one by one.

And there is no sign of damage at all.

This scene shocked everyone present.

Shocked, stunned, unbelievable!

The Nine-Ring Linked Chain had appeared in Daxia before. Before that, there was a three-ring chained chained chained by nine rings. It was said that even the most learned person in the capital took a full half hour to solve it.

But there are nine rings here, and Chu Shaochen only took a few breaths to unlock them all without missing a single one. His proficiency was as if he had practiced it no less than a hundred times.

Xiao Yuche was dumbfounded.

He stared at the ring that fell to the ground and the individual parts in Chu Shaochen's hand, feeling shocked.

What the hell, he remembered that the first time he tried to solve this thing, he couldn't do it at all. He had to ask the palace instructor for help, and it took him three or four times of instruction before he finally learned it.

Even if he went at the fastest speed, it would take him an incense stick of time to finish.

But this Chu Shaochen, is he a freak? His fingers could even leave afterimages. Before he could even see clearly, they were all taken off.

As confident as Xiao Yuche was just now, he is now in a state of disarray.

It was as if an invisible slap was slapping him in the face, making a 'pa pa' sound.

Seeing Xiao Yuche's face as dark as the bottom of a pot, Chu Shaochen pretended to say: "Sorry, I was too quick to care about

How do you feel about this? How about I explain it again? This time I'll try to go a little slower so you can see it more clearly?

Everyone felt a sense of naked humiliation and embarrassment.

"No need, you win!" Xiao Yuche answered reluctantly.

Emperor Shengjing's expression was not very good either. He tilted his head to glance at Empress Guo and questioned:

"Didn't we say it was foolproof? What's going on here?"

Queen Guo also wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Just now he was talking big in front of Wan Rongyue, saying that he must let the prince shine.

But I didn't expect that the slap in the face would come so quickly.

"Your Majesty, I don't know why the Crown Prince of Chu happened to know how to crack the Nine-Link Chain. You know, the previous Grand Secretary took a full hour to crack three links. I suspect someone must have leaked the secret while the Crown Prince was preparing something."

Queen Guo could not admit that the prince was incompetent. If she had to blame anyone, she could only blame the prince of Chu for being too outstanding. But she could not say it directly, so she could only choose to pass the buck.
