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

hum!

As Xiao Yuzhi finished speaking, Chu Shaochen's eyes suddenly widened, as if he had received some great stimulation. He couldn't help but take two steps back and almost fell to the ground.

His mind was blank at this moment. He looked at Xiao Yuzhi who was talking on the field as if he was looking at a devil.

This Xiao Yuzhi, he really figured it out!

He really figured it out!

How can this be?

how could it be possible?

Chu Shaochen was devastated and was completely unwilling to accept this result.

When the officials in the hall saw his reaction, they knew that the Sixth Prince must have answered correctly, and they all started discussing it excitedly.

"So the Sixth Prince actually figured it out! He's only six years old! It's unbelievable!"

"That's right. Throughout the history of the Seven Kingdoms, thousands of years ago, I have never heard of a genius as extraordinary as the Sixth Prince!"

Emperor Shengjing finally put his heart at ease. In a good mood, he picked up the tea bowl beside him and took a sip of tea.

Tonight's performances were truly spectacular. The surprises Xiaoliu had brought him had forced him to reconsider this person he had always ignored.

At this time, Zhou Wu looked at Xiao Yuzhi with sharp eyes and asked urgently:

"Sixth Prince, may I ask how these 624 people were found?"

Xiao Yuzhi no longer kept the secret and began to explain: "We can solve this problem by setting unknown variables.

For example, suppose the number of monks in the temple is X. Since three monks share one bowl of rice, the number of bowls is X/3.

And because 4 monks were sharing one bowl of soup, the number of soup bowls was X/4.

Now that we know there are 364 bowls in total, we can get the equation X/3+X/4=364.

现在我们先通分，那么3和4的最小公倍数是12，则方程式可化为：4X/12+3X/12=364。

合并起来，则成了（4X+3X）/12=364。也就是7X/12=364。

再两边同时乘以12，则可以得到7X=364 x 127X=4368。

Divide both sides by 7, and you get X=624.

Therefore, there are a total of 624 monks in the temple!"

To make it easier for everyone to understand, Xiao Yuzhi wrote and drew on paper while he was speaking, and wrote down the steps to solve the problem.

However, when he looked up after he finished speaking, everyone was looking at him in confusion.

The expressions on some officials' faces seemed to be asking: Who am I and where am I?

Xiao Yuzhi put down the pen and ink in his hand and asked Zhou Wu, "Master Zhou, do you understand?"

Zhou Wu's body trembled, and he immediately reacted. He patted his chest and said, "Haha, Sixth Prince, you underestimate me too much. It's just a trivial X method. As soon as you said it, I understand. Only the people of Chu would be so arrogant as to bring up such a childish and simple question in a competition."

When Ban Ge, who was standing by, heard this, he was so angry that he felt like a mouthful of blood was stuck in his throat.

What the hell.

You are pretending!

You reload!

He was clearly completely puzzled just now, looking as if his beard was about to be pulled out, but now he is lying and saying that the question is simple.

It’s simple. If you have the ability, why don’t you try another one?

The Chu envoys were so angry that they almost vomited blood.

Ban Ge tightened the fishy sweetness in his throat and looked at Chu Shaochen with some concern.

Ever since Xiao Yuzhi gave that answer, Chu Shaochen has been like a lost soul, looking devastated.

"Looking at the Crown Prince Chu's expression, I think I figured it out correctly. According to the bet just now, this time, I'm the winner, right?"

"In that case, let's get started now. Little Dengzi, go get me a chair. I'm the Prince Chu's teacher now. How can I stand and accept your worship?"

When the eunuch standing by heard this, he quickly had a chair brought over from the side and placed it in the center of the hall.

Xiao Yuzhi lifted his robe and sat down directly. Because he was not tall enough, his toes were still hanging in the air, which looked a bit funny.

Chu Shaochen came back to his senses, stared at Xiao Yuzhi intently, and asked, "What do you mean, Sixth Prince?"

Xiao Yuzhi said as if it was a matter of course, "Didn't you see? I asked you to do the apprenticeship ceremony. Since you lost, you must fulfill this bet immediately. Otherwise, what if you don't recognize me in the future?"

Chu Shaochen's face darkened suddenly, full of resistance.

"That won't do. There's a give and take. Since you solved my problem, you should come up with another one that will stump me!"

Chu Shaochen had never thought about losing. He hadn't even considered paying respect to a kid who was two years younger than him.

If this gets out, our reputation in the Seven Kingdoms will be ruined.

hum!

His words were like lighting a hornet's nest, and the scene instantly exploded. The officials from Daxia even rushed into the hall, wishing they could punch Chu Shaochen in public.

"Your mother is forcing me to do this. Do you really think that our Great Xia is completely destitute? Do you think I can no longer lift a gun or a knife? You have repeatedly teased the Sixth Prince. Don't try to stop me. Today, I will make this group of people from the Chu Kingdom feel the might of our Great Xia Iron Fist."

One of the generals with a hot temper could not help but stand up and rush towards the hall with his sword sharpened, but was stopped by the royal guards beside him.

Other officials also wanted to step forward, so more than a dozen imperial guards had to form a human wall to keep the officials outside.

Without the emperor's order, these emotional officials could not be allowed to take the stage.

A murderous intent flashed in Emperor Shengjing's eyes, and his whole body was filled with the majesty that only belongs to a superior.

"Prince Chu, I've given you several chances because you're young. But you can do something once or twice, but not three times. I believe you should understand this. If you insist on doing this, I'll see if you can bear the price!"

The emperor's words rang in Chu Shaochen's mind like a warning bell.

In the heat of the moment, they had forgotten that this was on Daxia's territory. It was very possible that the Emperor of Daxia really wanted to find a reason to detain them.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Shaochen proposed a condition: "This proposal of mine is naturally conditional. If your country's Sixth Prince can defeat me, I am willing to remain in Daxia as a hostage and devote myself to studying Daxia culture and promoting diplomatic relations between our two countries."

This means that he planned to stay in Daxia as a hostage for a long time until the King of Chu agreed to the trade terms between the two countries.

As he finished speaking, some officials, including Emperor Shengjing, became interested.

If this is the case, wouldn't Daxia have absolute dominance during the negotiations?

Emperor Shengjing's eyes flickered.

At this time, Xiao Yuzhi stood up from his chair again and confirmed to Chu Shaochen:

"Are you serious? Do you want me to give you another question?"
