Transmigrating into a short-lived cannon fodder, she beat the son of destiny to pieces

Chapter 27: The Infatuated Emperor and His Love-Brained Concubine (26)

As the meeting between the two dynasties approached, the capital was bustling with activity. During this time, everyone was preparing for the banquet in honor of the Turkic dynasty.

At this moment, the Turkic envoys finally arrived in Kyoto after a month's journey.

The Turks and the Daxiao have been checking and balancing each other for many years.

In the past few years, in order to maintain peace between the two countries and maintain friendly relations for generations, Daxiao also advocated marriage and promised Daxiao's most honorable Princess Roujia to the Turkic Khan.

Today's talks between the two countries, on the one hand, demonstrate the national strength of each country, and on the other hand, deepen the friendship between the two sides.

Led by the Turkic envoys, several people rode on grassland horses, dressed in gorgeous clothes with very Turkic characteristics, and stepped into Kyoto with high spirits.

Among them, Ashina Peng, who looked younger but had an exceptionally strong physique, was the main envoy of this event. He held his head high and his chest puffed out, with a look of complacency on his face.

But looking at the prosperous scene of Kyoto in front of him, he was still a little surprised, "Has the market in Daxiao always been so prosperous?"

It's no wonder he asked this question, mainly because along the way, the markets in all the big and small places in Daxiao were extremely bustling.

Ge Shuzhi, who knew Da Xiao better, explained, "Da Xiao's New Year's Day is coming soon, and these people should be preparing for it."

"I don't think so." Heludan said proudly, "It's not impossible that the people of Daxiao would warmly welcome us Turkic envoys to Daxiao this time!"

In Heludan's opinion, the strength of their Turks is no worse than that of Daxiao.

On the contrary, the people and officials of Daxiao were all weak and fragile, and they probably couldn't withstand a punch from him.

Ashina Peng laughed and said, "General Helu is absolutely right!"

As soon as the Turkic envoys arrived in Beijing, Xiao Yan, who was far away in the palace, received the news.

The talks between the two countries were related to the reputation of the Xiao Dynasty. Not only were all members of the royal family required to attend, but the best artists in the court, such as chess, calligraphy, painting, martial arts, riding and archery, were already waiting in the palace.

At the banquet, Xiao Huai, Xiao Hechuan and Xiao Helin sat behind Concubine De. Sui Ning, as a palace maid, also stood beside Xiao Huai.

Although the Turks only sent a ten-year-old child as the main envoy to this meeting, the two people following him should not be underestimated.

To attend the banquet, the Turks must have made sufficient preparations.

Both sides had different thoughts. After a round of toasts, Geshu Zhi was the first to stand up.

"I've long heard that Daxiao is a land of outstanding people and talents. This time we come here, we naturally hope to broaden our horizons."

coming!

All the officials of Daxiao were in high spirits, ready to welcome the highlight of the banquet.

Every time the two countries meet, both sides will create difficulties for various reasons to demonstrate their national strength.

Finally, after negotiation, it was decided that each side would ask each other three difficult questions, and the Turks, as distinguished guests, could ask one more question, and the winner would be determined after seven rounds.

After the competition began, the Turkic envoy answered two of the three difficult questions posed by Daxiao correctly, winning two games.

The Turkic envoy asked two difficult questions, and Daxiao answered one correctly, winning the game.

Therefore, Turkic has won three games and Daxiao has won two games, and Turkic is temporarily in the lead.

If Da Xiao wants to win, he has to win both of the next two games!

Everyone in Daxiao had worries written all over their faces, and the atmosphere was extremely heavy.

Even the smile on Xiao Yan's face was almost gone!

On the other hand, the Turkic envoys were all smiling and full of pride.

Heludan was even more outspoken, saying bluntly: "Da Xiao is really too polite. Although we are here as guests, Da Xiao really does not need to give in."

"Otherwise, this will make us Turks doubt whether the Great Xiao was just a name in vain."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the officials of Da Xiao could no longer sit still, and their beards were so angry that they almost stood up.

This is a blatant humiliation for the Turkic envoy!

If it weren't for the demeanor of a great country and its magnanimity, I'm afraid someone would have started throwing shoes at me by now.

Xiao Yan, sitting on the throne, had a half-smile on his face, but his eyes were sharp.

"The envoy is quite right. However, Daxiao is a country of etiquette. The envoy has come from afar and is an honored guest. I should make him feel at home. If he is not satisfied, Daxiao will keep him company."

After saying this, Xiao Yan looked sharply at the civil and military officials present.

All the officials lowered their heads in shame, and they also understood what the emperor meant.

Now the Turks are putting Da Xiao on the fire. If they lose this battle again, Da Xiao will become a complete joke!

Therefore, they must win the next competition no matter what!

Geshuzhi sneered inwardly and said, "That's great. Our Turkic task is to restore the magic square."

Immediately afterwards, a Turkic attendant came up holding a large, square, colorful dice.

Geshuzhi continued, "This thing is called a magic square. It's a Persian toy that the Khan accidentally found. Originally, a magic square is a square object with six sides and six colors."

"But now the colors of the magic square have been disrupted, and we need to twist the mechanisms up, down, left, and right to restore it. If anyone in Daxiao can restore it within half an hour, we, the Turks, will admit defeat in this competition."

The officials of Da Xiao were talking about it.

Soon, an official who was skilled in mechanism construction came forward, took the magic square and tried to twist it a few times. He was secretly amazed that this magic square was indeed ingenious.

But at this moment Xiao Helin could no longer sit still.

If he was not mistaken, this should be Liuliu's previous toy, the Rubik's Cube!

This discovery immediately made Xiao Helin extremely excited, and he even asked Xiao Huai for confirmation, "Brother Huai, do you think that is a Rubik's Cube?"

Xiao Huai nodded. He didn't expect that the problem the Turks would face this time would be this.

After receiving a positive answer, Xiao Helin excitedly came to Concubine De's side and said, "Mother, I can solve this difficult problem!"

Upon hearing this, Concubine De said helplessly, "Lin'er, don't act silly. If you feel bored, go chat with your brother. Today's banquet is very important, so don't be naughty or cause trouble."

Yes, she didn't think Xiao Helin had the brains to restore the magic square.

Just think he was bored and wanted to play.

At this moment, several ministers of the Ministry of Works were sweating profusely in anxiety.

They tried several times but still couldn't figure out any pattern in the magic square.

Although this magic square is exquisite under normal circumstances, if they are given a little more time, they may be able to recover.

But they only have half an hour now.

Now a quarter of an hour had passed and they still had no clue.

The Turkic envoys nearby saw all this and remained calm, confident of victory.

I thought Da Xiao would be a tough nut to crack, but now it seems that Da Xiao is just so-so!

Seeing that half of the time was almost over, Xiao Helin was extremely anxious and spoke to Concubine De again.

"Mother, I can really restore the magic square. Please let me try."

Although he was young, he could sense the ill intentions of the Turkic envoys.

De Fei was about to refuse when Xiao Yan, who was at the head of the group, called out to her, "What happened to my Lin'er?"

Xiao Yan was also extremely anxious at this time, but because Concubine De was close to him, he heard some words.

Before Concubine De could explain, Xiao Helin ran to Xiao Yan and said anxiously, "Father, I've played this magic square before, and I can recover!"
