1353: Showing His Edge

Showing His Edge

His gaze swept across the surroundings. In the end, he even stopped on Lin Yuelan for a moment.1

Everyone frowned and looked at each other. Then, they shook their heads.

Liang Renhui saw that no one spoke and asked again," No one can solve it?"

"High Priest, it's only a hundred wen, but you want to buy a hundred chickens. You also want roosters, hens, and chicks. There's no way to solve this!" Leng Qiyi, the Crown Prince of Shuizhou Country, said suspiciously.

Liang Renhui shook his head and said," No, that old man told me that he has a solution!"

"Huh? Is there a solution?" Xiao Heshui was surprised. "But how do we solve this?"

Liang Renhui did not answer Xiao Heshui. Instead, he said to Yuwen Longyan," Your Majesty, the Longyan Kingdom is full of talents. I believe this question should not be difficult for everyone in the Longyan Kingdom!"

This was forcing the people of the Longyan Kingdom to answer.

Yuwen Longyan didn't frown, but he still asked with uncertainty," High Priest, is there really a solution to this problem?"

Liang Renhui shook his head and said," I'm not sure either. Therefore, I want everyone here to help me solve this problem! So that I can reply to that old man!"

Looking at Liang Renhui's expression, everyone knew very well that he definitely had an answer in his heart.

However, he was definitely making things difficult for the Longyan Kingdom.

If no one could solve this problem, the only one who would lose face would be the Longyan Kingdom.

"Haha, why is High Priest in such a hurry?" Consort Liu De, who was sitting on Yuwen Longyan's right, suddenly smiled and said," Our Princess Guguo is extremely intelligent and knowledgeable. She can easily solve a problem like yours. Don't you think so, Princess?"

Consort Liu wasn't sure if Lin Yuelan knew how to solve the question, but she was happy to push Lin Yuelan forward into the spotlight.

Moreover, everyone was deep in thought just now, and only she was enjoying herself. She was not idle at all, eating and drinking as if it had nothing to do with her.

If Lin Yuelan could solve the problem, Longyan Kingdom would regain her face. But if she couldn't solve it, she would be accused of looking down on foreign guests and so on. At that time, if her reputation spread, her prestige in the hearts of the people would be greatly reduced.

Yuwen Longyan's eyes gleamed when he heard Consort Liu pointing at Lin Yuelan. However, he didn't stop Consort Liu.

He believed that Lin Yuelan would not disappoint him.

Lin Yuelan raised her eyebrows after hearing Consort Liu's words. She thought to herself, 'I knew it!'

Then, she smiled at Consort Liu De and said," Consort De, you're praising me like this. You're flattering me too much. However, everyone in the imperial court of Longyan Country knows that I, Lin Yuelan, was born and raised in a peasant family. How can I be so knowledgeable and intelligent?"

As soon as Lin Yuelan's words fell, Xiao Jingyu smiled and said impatiently," Then, does that mean that Princess Gu cannot solve this problem?"

Since the other party could not solve the problem, Xiao Jingyu's heart was immediately relieved. This way, she could make things difficult for the other party without any scruples.

"Then it seems that the famous princess of the Guguo is not worthy of her name!"These words were obviously filled with mockery and ridicule.

Lin Yuelan nodded and said, "Yes. That's true." Then, Lin Yuelan's tone changed." Does that mean Princess Linglong, who is royalty, knows the solution?"

Lin Yuelan's words stunned most of the people present.

Why did this princess of Guguo always use this trick?

She had returned the words that others had said to her, and the effect was beyond her expectations!

Xiao Jingyu was stunned at first. Then, her beautiful face instantly distorted, but she instantly returned to normal. She put on a fake smile and raised her head, and puffed out her chest proudly. "However, you're the host. Shouldn't you tell me the solution first?"

Xiao Jingyu was using Lin Yuelan's tactic back at her. After all, the people of the Aduo Chai Kingdom were the ones who were making things difficult for the people of the Longyan Kingdom.

Lin Yuelan raised her eyebrows and replied with a faint smile," Princess Linglong, High Priest, I'm afraid you don't know. For such a simple question, as long as one went to the countryside, any three-year-old child or sixty-year-old woman could answer it casually."

Lin Yuelan was telling them that the problem that was difficult for them to solve was a piece of cake for the Longyan Kingdom.

At the same time, she mocked Liang Renhui, Xiao Jingyu, and the others. It was ridiculous to use such a question to make things difficult for the Longyan Kingdom.

Liang Renhui had never thought that this princess of the Guguo would be so arrogant.

He had found this question in an ancient book that was specially kept in the palace of Aduo Chai.

How could all the villagers in Longyan Country know about it?
