After the salted fish is married

112. Deterrence

Fu Yanzhi was very excited. He asked someone to set up a desk in front of Yan Ziyue and Wu Zhu: "Please, Princess Rong."

Standing behind the desk, Yan Xining had nothing to love, he looked at the pens, ink, papers and inkstones on the table, and then at Ji Song who had eyes full of trust in him.If there was a gap ahead, he would slip right into it.

Ji Liang was still fanning the flames: "Siblings, it's up to you."

Yan Xining just wanted to roll up her sleeves and give Ji Liu a shot, making him a scumbag.

Even if he is unwilling, standing in this position, he has to take it seriously.He represented not only personal honor, but also Chu Liao's face.At this moment, he can only advance but not retreat.Now he only hoped that Fu Yanzhi's question would not be too difficult, otherwise he would really not be able to figure it out.

In the anticipation of everyone, Fu Yanzhi asked a classic question about cattle eating grass.This question was a question he read from an ancient book in a foreign country. He studied this question for several days. Although he calculated the answer, the calculation process was extremely complicated.

This question is more complicated than the previous question of chickens and rabbits in the same cage. For a while, there were voices of discussion in the palace, and everyone was thinking: how long can a growing pasture last for 25 cows?

This question is not too difficult for Yan Xining, after all, people who have experienced the ravages of modern Mathematical Olympiad can still do this kind of question.And Yan Ziyue behind him is different from Wu Zhu.

Ever since Yan Xining stood in front of him, Yan Ziyue felt that there was a dark cloud over his head.During this period of time, because of Yan Xining, the Yan Mansion has been turned upside down.Because of the problems of the shop and Zhuangzi, my mother was locked up by my father in the ancestral hall to copy Buddhist scriptures, and she hadn't left the ancestral hall for half a month.

The younger sister in the family was already betrothed to someone else, and she was going to marry her in October, but the engagement was annulled because "the mother was not kind and treated the concubine harshly".The eldest sister shed tears at home, and the family was gloomy. During this time, as long as he went home, he could hear the sighs of his family members.

Everyone said that Yan's family was biased in doing things. They were also heirs of the family, and the treatment of the legitimate son and the concubine was very different.In fact, he was really wronged. The person who manages the household accounts is his mother, and he himself doesn't know how many shops there are in his family.

His colleagues made fun of him, Shangfeng despised him, and he couldn't move an inch in the bureaucracy.This time he took the initiative to stand up to fight against Wu Zhu, just to reverse the predicament in front of him. He wanted to tell everyone that he was still the glorious Yan Ziyue.

However, he was overwhelmed by Yan Xining when he was asked about chickens and rabbits in the same cage, and Yan Ziyue was under a lot of pressure for a while.

Looking at Yan Xining's back, Yan Ziyue frowned.How humble Yan Xining used to be in front of him is how glorious he is now.The students of Guozijian praised him for his integrity and righteousness, King Rong cherished him, and now he stood in front of them.

Ever since marrying Rong Wang, Yan Xining has been on top of the wind.He obviously didn't do anything, but he had everything.

Yan Ziyue looked down at the empty rice paper, his mind was full of thoughts, and all kinds of noisy voices echoed in his ears, so that he hadn't analyzed how much grass the cow had eaten until now.

Compared with Yan Ziyue's silence, Wu Zhu on the other side is much more active.He scribbled and drew on the paper, and the manuscript paper was filled with numbers in a short while.However, the more he counted, the more he felt something was wrong, so he tore off the rice paper and started again.

Several rolls of rice paper were thrown at Wu Zhu's feet, he was muttering something, and he was still counting with his fingers.When he gets excited, he will dance with his arms and legs.Those who knew clearly knew that he was doing calculations, but those who didn't know thought he was asking God.

In contrast, Yan Xining was the calmest of them all.Although he looks distressed, judging by the speed at which he writes, it seems that the current progress is going smoothly.

Most of the courtiers gave up after a moment of calculation. The cow can eat whatever it wants. Why do they want to control how long the cow has been eating? Isn’t this looking for abuse?

No matter which dynasty you are in, there are always a group of people who respect Shusuan at a respectful distance.

Ji Song picked up the wine and took a sip, he looked at Yan Xining with gentle but firm eyes.He had an inexplicable feeling that Ah Ning could solve this problem.It's ridiculous to say that Aning usually doesn't even bother to touch the account book at home, but he just feels this way.

At this time, Ji Ling poked Ji Song: "Third Emperor brother, do you want to take a gamble?"

Ji Song said softly, "What are you betting on?"

Ji Ling lowered his voice to avoid Emperor Pingyuan's eyes: "Who will win the bet. 800 taels of silver, I bet Yanzi will win more." He pointed behind him, Ji Song looked over, and saw that the courtiers in the back row had already Betting started.

As people from Chu and Liao, the courtiers would definitely not bet on the people of Liaoxia to win, so they could only choose between Yan Ziyue and Yan Xining.On one side is Yan Ziyue, who is famous all over the world, and on the other side is Yan Xining, a scumbag from the Imperial Academy. Most people think that Yan Xining is just trying to make up for it.

Ji Song smiled, and said firmly, "1000 taels, I bet Ah Ning will win."

Ji Liu raised his brows, "Okay~" He turned his head and whispered, "Prince Rong bet that the concubine will win, bet a thousand taels of silver."

After the officials below finished registering, Ji Ling patted Ji Song on the shoulder: "It's okay, Brother Sanhuang, it's only 1000 taels of silver, just drink it as flower wine, don't worry about it."

Afterwards, Ji Zhu came up to Ji Nan's side and started whispering. It seemed that Ji Nan was going to join the gamble.

Fu Yanzhi walked back and forth around the three of them, seeing only a few numbers written on the manuscript paper in front of Yan Ziyue, the old lady Fu frowned displeased.But this is not his classroom, it is inconvenient for him to say more.

When he walked to Yan Xining's side, Fu Yanzhi frowned even deeper.He could feel that Yan Xining's writing was exquisite, but...he couldn't understand it, and Yan Xining's writing was too ugly, it hurt his eyes at a glance.

As time passed, the courtiers' discussions became louder and louder.Uju seemed to have found a way to solve the problem, and he screamed strangely: "I know! It must be so!"

The officials of Chu Liao raised their hearts in their throats. Could it be that Chu Liao and Liao Xia were going to lose in the first round of the competition?

However, Uju tore up the rice paper after writing half a piece of rice paper: "No, no..."

At this moment, Yan Xining breathed a sigh of relief. He put down the pen in his hand and handed the manuscript paper to Fu Yanzhi: "Teacher, look, my answer is correct? It can feed 25 cows for five and a half days."

This question is similar to that of a pool that is feeding water while releasing water. It is the type of question he hates the most.

Fu Yanzhi's eyes lit up: "That's right!"

Although he couldn't understand Yan Xining's steps to solve the problem, he could see the five point five at the end of the equal sign.This number is exactly the same as the answer in the arithmetic book he got.

There was a moment of silence in the hall, and then cheers resounded throughout the hall: "Win, win, Princess Rong has solved it!" "Great!"

The corners of Ji Song's lips rose, and the light in his eyes became brighter.He looked deeply at Yan Xining in the hall, this time he clearly saw that Aning was glowing.Ji Ling poked Ji Song again, and he said depressedly, "Did you already know that your brother and sister are good at martial arts? You didn't tell me, brother, that you caused me to lose 800 taels of silver."

Ji Song smiled and said, "I only found out today."

Ji Liu said with a bitter face, "Siblings are hiding their secrets."

Hearing the cheers from the hall, Uju finally gave up torturing himself.He quickly stepped forward to look at the manuscript in Fu Yanzhi's hand, and after finding that he didn't understand it, he bowed to Yan Xining: "Princess, I don't know how to solve this question?"

Dunba looked at Wu Zhu gloomyly, and it was fine if he didn't figure out the question, but Wu Zhu actually asked his opponent for an explanation?What a shame.

However, Uju didn't think there was anything shameful about it, as a scholar should be humble.Not to mention asking for advice from the opponent, as long as it can make him go further, even if he is asked to serve Yan Xining, he will be happy.

Yan Xining also didn't have the attitude of a winner, so he took a pen and analyzed it step by step on the manuscript paper for Wu Zhu to listen to.His voice is soft and his explanations are clear and clear.Before he knew it, he was surrounded by courtiers seeking knowledge.Although Yan Xining's handwriting... looked weird, but it didn't affect their listening.

At the end of the explanation, not only Wu Zhumao suddenly understood, but also the courtiers around Yan Xining understood.Wu Zhu made a big gift to Yan Xining and said sincerely: "Princess Rong is the one who is really proficient in arithmetic, Wu Zhu feels ashamed."

Just as Yan Xining wanted to say a few words of modesty, he heard Emperor Pingyuan's voice from beside him: "Okay, this arithmetic problem is solved wonderfully. Empress, look, the steps written by Princess Rong are very clear!"

It turned out that Emperor Pingyuan stepped down from the throne while Yan Xining was solving the problem. He was so happy. He didn't expect someone from the royal family of Chu and Liao to win Liaoxia Wuzhu.Someone told him just now that Wu Zhu is not only a master of arithmetic in Liaoxia, he is also well-known in other countries around Chu and Liao.

Dunba let Uju play in the first game, just to use Uju to suppress the hearts of Chu Liao students and courtiers.Chu Liao emphasized the text, if he lost to Liao Xia in Shusuan, it would definitely be a shame.

After hearing the news, Emperor Pingyuan was very worried.Especially when he noticed that Yan Ziyue had barely moved his pen, that worry turned into a wave of nameless anger.He had already sent two people to fight against Uju, and he lost this round, and there was no place to put his old face.

But now his worry turned into joy, unexpectedly Yan Xining really solved this problem.Not only did he solve the problem, but he also generously taught his solution to the Liaoxia people.This kind of heart and tolerance really made Emperor Pingyuan look good.

The queen smiled like a flower, but she didn't understand what Yan Xining wrote.But Yan Xining, representing Chu Liao, won at this moment, which is a great thing.The queen reminded: "I didn't expect Chu Liao to have such a leader as Princess Rong. Your Majesty must reward us Princess Rong."

Emperor Pingyuan laughed happily: "Reward! Great reward! Is there anything Princess Rong wants?"

Yan Xining was filled with guilt: "I would like to report to the emperor and empress, there are countless talents in Chu Liao, and Xi Ning is just one of the most ordinary members, so I really can't afford a big reward."

He just relied on himself to take a few extra math classes. If he was really from Chuliao, he would definitely lose face today.Besides, the original owner is just a scumbag from the Imperial College, and he really can't be considered a leader.

Emperor Pingyuan smiled even brighter: "Okay, good, good!" He said three good words in a row, which shows how happy Emperor Pingyuan is at the moment.

Eunuch Yang beamed with joy: "In the first game between Chu Liao and Liao Xia, Chu Liao won!"

Amidst the congratulations from the officials, Yan Xining returned to her seat in embarrassment.Once he sat down firmly, he let out a few breaths of relief: "I'm so nervous."

Ji Song smiled and handed over a bowl of almond milk: "You are great." He didn't solve that problem, but Ah Ning's ability to calculate it before everyone else has proved his strength.

Yan Xining drank most of the bowl of almond milk in one gulp, when Ji Song happily said, "When you were solving the problem just now, I won some money for you."

Yan Xining:? ? ?

Ji Song pointed at Ji Liu with a smile on his face: "Second Brother Huang started a game of gambling. Brother Huang, the result has already been revealed, I think Brother Huang will not lose money from younger brother, right?"

Ji Zhu complained endlessly: "Siblings, you husband and wife are working together to trick me."

The excitement belonged to others, Yan Ziyue only felt that he was too heavy to lift his head.He returned to his place in desperation, and the chaotic voice in his head became louder.At this time, someone patted him on the shoulder: "Zi Yue, your brother is actually a master, amazing."

Yan Ziyue's eyes dimmed, he pursed his lips and couldn't say a word.He felt that the dark clouds above his head were getting thicker.

113. Deterrence

Dunba gave Yan Xining a sad look, but he didn't expect that his carefully prepared first game would be defeated by an unknown person.But it doesn't matter, in the next two rounds, he is sure to win.

The second game was about martial arts, and Dunba sent a burly man to the stage.The man was two meters tall, and his body was covered with lumps of muscle. His one arm was thicker than the legs of most of the people present.Dunba smiled all over his face: "This is my Liao Xia Batu warrior. Is there any warrior not only Chu Liao who can compare with him?"

Batu raised his right hand and hammered his strong chest muscles, and the dull slapping sound resounded in every corner of the hall.Batu spoke provocatively in rough Chu-Liao dialect, "Batu is a lion on the grassland, a lion, and eats meat."

Dunba smiled and said: "Batu is tall and tall. If it is unfair to compete one-on-one, I suggest that two warriors from Chu and Liao fight together."

Batu's provocation had already made the generals present furious, and Dunba's words added fuel to the fire.Immediately, a general from the Ministry of War stood up and said, "The last general is willing to learn from the noble envoy."

The competition started soon, the general of the Ministry of War took off his court clothes, and he stood shirtless opposite Batu.

Dunba reminded: "General, don't you use weapons?"

The general said righteously: "Your people don't use weapons. If I use them, wouldn't it be invincible?"

Dunba took two steps back with a smile: "That's fine." He gave Batu a wink as he spoke.

The general walked towards Batu's face, he stepped on Batu's knee with one foot, and swept the other foot towards Batu's face.But before his feet touched Batu's face, Batu had already grasped the general's ankle.

The well-built general was picked up by Batu like a chicken, Batu grinned and showed a mouthful of yellow teeth: "Hey."

Ji Song's pupils shrank: "Not good!"

The next moment, the general who had been restrained by someone was thrown heavily to the ground by Batu.There was only a dull "dong" sound, and the hearts of the courtiers in the palace seemed to be lifted and slammed down heavily, and their heartbeats stopped for a beat.

The general fell limply to the ground, his eyes were tightly closed, blood oozed from his mouth and nose, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive.With just one move, Batu let the people present see his strength. He not only has strength, but also speed.

Yan Xining had a bad feeling in his heart: "Do you think anyone in the hall can beat him?"

Ji Song quickly scanned the surrounding courtiers, and finally shook his head: "It's difficult."

It is undeniable that there are some generals in the court who are good at martial arts, but in the face of absolute strength, no amount of ostentation is just a display.Ji Song felt that even if his legs were intact, it would be difficult to defeat this man.There is only one way to defeat this person, and that is to use the wheel to consume his strength, and then grind him to death little by little.

But now they don't have time to engage in wheel battles, and they can't find anyone who can cooperate closely.The longer the time dragged on, the greater the blow to the Chu Liao people.

Ji Song turned his head and whispered to Ji Ling: "Let His Royal Highness tell the father to admit defeat in this round." If it continues to delay, it will only increase meaningless casualties.

Ji Liu knew the seriousness of the matter, he nodded: "I understand."

The Liaoxia mission was overjoyed because Batu had won one person, and Batu even repeated in Chuliao dialect mixed with Liaoxia dialect: "Lions eat meat, sheep eat grass."

The officials of Chu and Liao were in a hurry, and the arrogant people actually compared them to sheep?For a while, two more officials stood up: "The lower officials are willing to learn from the noble envoy's tricks."

As they said that, the two flew towards Batu, one left and one right, but the next moment, one of them had their hands broken by Batu and the other had their legs broken by Batu's kick.Not to mention attacking Batu, the two of them could only hold their broken arms and legs to suppress the painful groans and groans.

Ji Song looked up at Emperor Pingyuan on the dragon chair, and he shook his head at Emperor Pingyuan.Emperor Pingyuan nodded slightly, it seemed that they had no way to win this round.

So Emperor Pingyuan raised his hand, and Eunuch Yang said in a muffled voice, "Chu Liao and Liao Xia compete in the second match, and Liao Xia wins."

Batu hammered his chest with disdain on his face: "Lions eat meat. You sheep eat grass. Lions eat sheep, it's only right and proper."

The faces of the Chu Liao officials were ashen, but they could only watch Batu leave the hall swaggeringly.

Fortunately, there is one win and one loss now, and there is one last match to win back face.However, when the Liaoxia envoys brought the longbow to the palace, the expressions of the officials became even worse.

As we all know, Liaoxia is a nation on horseback, and Liaoxia people have learned to ride and shoot before they have learned to walk.Dunba is very confident in his archery skills. The master who taught him archery skills is the most powerful archer in Liaoxia, and his archery skills have been recognized by his master.

Dunba stepped forward to hold the longbow: "For the third match, I will compete with the warriors of Chu and Liao." As he spoke, his eyes fell on Ji Song, and he almost called Ji Song's name directly: "I don't know which warrior is willing to stand up?"

Dunba had been waiting for this opportunity for too long, Ji Rongchuan of Chu Liao was like a mountain pressing down on the hearts of many Liao Xia soldiers.Although he lost his legs, his prestige still spread in the army.If he couldn't defeat Ji Rongchuan to get rid of this mountain, this peace negotiation would be in vain.

Ji Song received Dunba's gaze, moved the wheelchair, and then controlled the wheelchair to leave the seat: "His Royal Highness Dunba has a noble status, if he loses to me, ordinary general Chu Liao will feel embarrassed. If His Royal Highness doesn't mind, I will let you go." I will compete with His Highness."

Dunba was very satisfied: "It is Dunba's honor to compete with the God of War. Your Highness please."

The space in the hall is a bit smaller, and the venue for the competition has been moved outside the hall.At this time, the sky was completely dark, but the flames outside the Linde Hall were soaring into the sky, and countless imperial guards held torches to illuminate the square outside the hall.

There were two targets in the middle of the square. Ji Song and Dunba were standing under the steps outside the main hall, and they were making preparations for the competition.

Yan Xining took Ji Song's court clothes silently, Ji Song looked sideways slightly, with fire flickering in his eyes: "A Ning, don't you want to say anything to me?"

After thinking about it for a while, Yan Xining bent down. He leaned against Ji Song's ear and said firmly, "Hit hard, don't be polite." The second match made him angry, and he was waiting for Ji Song to fall hard. What about Dunba's face?

Ji Song smiled slightly, he turned his head and paused: "Of order."

Yan Xining quickly carried Ji Song's court clothes and walked up to the steps. As soon as he stood still, he was blocked by Ji Ling and Ji Nan from left to right.Ji Ling on the left asked: "Brother and sister, tell me the truth, Brother Sanhuang, have you practiced archery at home during this time?" Ji Nan on the right was impatient: "Rong Chuan is so irritable, Dunba came at him, He is still stupid. Third princess, do you think Rong Chuan can win this round?"

Yan Xining smiled and said, "I'll find out in a while."

At the bottom of the steps, Dunba and Ji Song drew their longbows at the same time. Just as Dunba was about to release the arrow, he heard Ji Song's voice: "The target retreats ten feet."

At this time, the target is fifty feet away from the person, and it is difficult for a hunter at this distance to shoot accurately, but Ji Song still has to retreat ten feet?Dunba chuckled, it's not like he's never tried a distance of sixty feet.So he also said: "Listen to His Royal Highness, retreat ten feet from the target."

After the guards placed the target, most people could no longer see the position of the target clearly.At this time, there was the sound of the bowstring vibrating in the arena. The bows of Ji Song and Dunba left the string almost at the same time.The difference was that Ji Song's feathered arrow didn't stop after it hit the bull's-eye, it was still flying forward.

Yu Jian didn't stop until only the tail of Yu Jian was exposed outside the target.

Dunba was still proud of his superb archery skills, but the next moment, he couldn't laugh anymore.Also hitting the bull's-eye, his arrow strength was obviously much weaker than Ji Song's.what happened?Is it a longbow problem?

Ji Song narrowed his eyes: "The target retreats another ten feet."

Seventy feet? !It is difficult to hit the target at this distance, let alone hit the bullseye.Dunba has so far hit a target that is 65 feet away, and he has never challenged a target that is [-] feet away.

However, Ji Song had already spoken, so he couldn't persuade him.So he followed suit and said, "The target retreats ten feet."

The longbow was bent into a full moon again, Ji Song raised the bow and arrow slightly, he was calm, the small bull's-eye was magnified in his eyes.

But Dunba beside him was not so relaxed. It was night, and even though there were guards illuminating the surroundings of the target, his vision was still obstructed.Sweat dripped from Dunba's palms, and the target seventy feet away became blurred, and the bull's-eye could not be seen clearly.

"噗..." The sound of arrows suddenly ringing in his ears startled Dunba, and subconsciously Dunba also let go of the bowstring in his hand.

The two feathered arrows rushed towards the target one after the other, but Dunba's one fell to the ground before reaching the target.And the feather arrow that Ji Song shot went forward with the momentum of thunder, and finally firmly nailed to the red bull's eye.

The officials of Chu Liao were silent for a moment and then cheered: "Good arrow skills!"

Yan Xining looked at Ji Song with crooked eyebrows, this is not Ji Song's best level.He had seen Ji Song shoot arrows at home, and his feathered arrows could pass through Lanyue Lake and be nailed to the target under the eaves of the opposite corridor.But as long as he can win Dunba, he will be extremely happy.

At this time, if Ji Song felt something, he turned his head and saw Yan Xining in the crowd.Yan Xining gave him a thumbs up: "Rong Chuan is awesome!!"

Ji Song felt his heart itch, at this moment he really wanted to hold his princess in his arms.
