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

Xiao Yuzhi's voice was crisp and a little childish, but it echoed throughout the entire hall without missing a word.

All the officials were excited and looking forward to it.

If this is true, the Sixth Prince can be said to have stomped on the face of the State of Chu this time, but the people of the State of Chu could not find any reason to get angry.

After all, it was you who took the initiative to challenge. If you lose, you can only blame yourself for not being as skilled as others.

Emperor Shengjing's eyes sparkled with joy. Judging from Xiaoliu's attitude, could he really solve this problem?

At this moment, Emperor Shengjing's expression was different when he looked at Xiao Yuzhi. In his eyes, in addition to affirmation and appreciation, there was also a touch of admiration from the heart.

When Chu Shaochen heard Xiao Yuzhi's provocative words, he was stunned at first, and then his face became cold.

He has been the center of attention since he was young. How could he have suffered such humiliation?

"But what if you can't answer? Then, in return, you need to kneel down and bow to this prince. How do you do that?"

He was certain that no one in the whole of Daxia could solve this kind of problem.

"Of course. Not only that, this prince is also willing to take Prince Chu as his teacher. From now on, I will be willing to pay my respects to you whenever I see you!"

As Xiao Yuzhi finished speaking, the expressions of all the officials changed, and many of them stood up and persuaded:

"You absolutely cannot do this, Sixth Prince! The difficulty of this question far exceeds the current level of the Seven Kingdoms. This is clearly a trap set by the Crown Prince of Chu!"

"This old minister also agrees with Lord Zhou's words. Please reconsider, Sixth Prince!"

When Xiao Yuzhi looked over, he saw that a large number of officials came out to stop him.

Obviously, no one believed that he could solve this problem.

He couldn't describe his mood, but he thought, no matter what, even for his mother and to repay Aunt Qiu Ning, he had to show his manliness so that everyone could see that he, Xiao Yuzhi, could win glory for the country and protect his mother.

He stood in the center of the hall with his hands behind his back, his head held high and stubbornly, as if he would rather break than bend. He said:

"A sage once said, 'If you want to wear the crown, you must first bear its weight.' Generals die in a hundred battles, warriors return after ten years. At a time like this, how can I just give up without even trying? If this gets known to the world, how will I survive in the future?

I know you all mean well, but there's no need to persuade me. This prince has made up his mind. No matter how difficult it is, I will face it head-on!"

Xiao Yuzhi's righteous speech was so resounding that it shocked all the officials as if they were frozen in time, leaving them speechless.

Unexpectedly, the Sixth Prince, at such a young age, has such feelings and insights.

It's really shameful!

"Your Majesty, every word the Sixth Prince said came from the heart and was deeply moving. I, this old minister, am ashamed. Our Great Xia is truly fortunate to have such a virtuous person as the Sixth Prince!"

"Master Zhang is absolutely right. Great Xia has a sixth prince. We, your servants, should congratulate Your Majesty on receiving this son of the Qilin!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Suddenly, a voice of compliments rang out in the hall.

Emperor Shengjing was very pleased to see that the Sixth Prince had won the hearts of a group of old ministers with just a few words.

"Haha, my dear ministers, please stand up quickly. This question has not been solved yet. It's too early to say such things."

Then, he turned his gaze to Xiao Yuzhi and said, "Let's get back to the topic, Xiaoliu, do you have a solution to this problem?"

Xiao Yuzhi bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, I have a method of chopping off the feet that can solve this problem!"

"Chopping foot method?"

???

Including Chu Shaochen, everyone opened their eyes wide with question marks on their faces.

"This is ridiculous, Sixth Prince. This is mathematics. There is only one correct answer. Why are you chopping off feet?" Ban Ge spoke first and questioned Xiao Yuzhi.

Mathematics is a profound, complex and changeable subject. How could there be such a simple method?

The other people in Daxia were also confused.

Emperor Shengjing smiled and was also a little curious.

"Oh? I'm a little curious, what does this so-called chopping foot method mean?"

Xiao Yuzhi nodded, and then a crisp voice sounded in the hall:

"The so-called "cut-foot method," as the name suggests, is to chop off two of the rabbit's extra legs compared to the chicken. In this way, both the chicken and the rabbit in the cage will only have two legs left.

With this assumption, the problem becomes easy to solve. If the chickens and rabbits in the cage all have two legs and the total number of heads is sixty, then the number of legs should be one hundred and twenty.

But according to the assumption made by the Crown Prince of Chu, there are a total of 200 legs in the cage. So, where did the extra 80 legs go?

Xiao Yuzhi's gaze slowly swept across Chu Shaochen's face, even with a hint of a smile.

For some reason, when Chu Shaochen received this gaze, he already had a bad feeling in his heart.

At this time, Zhou Wu suddenly said, "May I ask, Sixth Prince, are these extra eighty legs the same number that were chopped off earlier?"

As he finished speaking, everyone present looked at Zhou Wu with admiration as if they had suddenly understood something.

Zhou Wu's eyes were shining as he stared at Xiao Yuzhi, as if waiting for him to give the final answer.

As expected, Xiao Yuzhi instantly broke into a perfect smile and gave Zhou Wu a thumbs up.

"Master Zhou truly deserves to be the foremost mathematical scholar in Daxia. He grasped the key points of this problem so quickly.

That's right, the missing eighty legs are exactly the number of legs from the two rabbits that were chopped off earlier. If two legs are chopped off from a rabbit, then eighty legs should make a total of forty rabbits. Forty rabbits should have forty heads. Taking the total of sixty heads and subtracting forty rabbits, the number of chickens should be twenty!

Prince Chu, am I right?

As Xiao Yuzhi finished speaking, everyone gasped!

"hiss!"

Immediately afterwards, a series of noisy sounds resounded throughout the hall, as if they were going to overturn the roof of the hall.

"Wonderful!"

“It’s really wonderful!”

"Although this method of cutting off the feet is somewhat inhumane, I never thought that this problem could be solved with such a simple and crude method!"

"He is indeed worthy of being the prince of Great Xia. He solved such a complex and precise problem with such a simple and straightforward method. I really admire him!"

'boom! ’

On the Chu side, Ban Ge was stunned! Chu Shaochen was also stunned, his little face turned pale in an instant, as if all the blood had been drained away.

He looked at Xiao Yuzhi in disbelief. The heart that had remained calm and composed in the face of many emergencies for many years was instantly broken and fell to the ground, shattered into pieces.

First, he studied hard for many years to get a solution to the Linglong formula, and then this math problem of chickens and rabbits in the same cage was his last trump card and a deadly weapon.

But I didn't expect that it could be cracked in such a simple and crude way.

Even he himself couldn't help but say inwardly that this method was truly amazing!

Apart from being a little cruel, there are no other shortcomings.

At this time, Xiao Yuzhi asked again: "Prince Chu, there are twenty chickens and forty rabbits in the cage. Is this answer correct?"
