"Princess Jingling!"

Everyone became agitated, and the scholars sitting on the futon also quickly stood up, lest they slacken off, and bowed their heads and saluted.

Jiang Chang'an's face sank like water, and he looked at the empty futon beside Xia Ji, and understood the true purpose of Xia Ji. No matter from which point of view, Xia Ji is the person who least wants the two countries to form a marriage, but he can't wait for the two countries to have a contradictory war, otherwise he will not send two killers to assassinate the Immortal Tower at night.

And Xia Ji's ultimate goal is just to make himself lose face in front of this "fiancée", and it is difficult to find any excuse to talk about the marriage, so that he can retreat, I have to say that this method is undoubtedly wiser and more clever than last night's killing, but it is only a little smarter.

If it was really Situ Yuning who came today, it was basically as a few people thought, Situ Yuning would know the difficulty and retreat, but they didn't know that the person in front of them was Jiang Changan, and the ending was destined to be completely different.

Xia Leling also knelt beside Xia Ji, her eyebrows were always slightly frowned, as if she had been haunted all day long and could not be solved, she was thinner than before, her face was pale, and her haggard look could be easily seen.

It was the first time for many students to see Princess Jingling herself, only to know that the rumors praised her beauty so much that they were amazing, and they were shocked when they looked at it, but they had to press the love in their hearts, and they didn't dare to look directly at the princess's face.

"Jingling has seen the prince of Jue......" Xia Leling saluted, except for a glance when he entered the main hall, and then he didn't look at His Royal Highness the prince from beginning to end.

"I've seen Princess Jingling. Jiang Changan returned the salute and tried not to look at her.

Seeing Xia Leling, Xia Ji's mood became more relaxed, and he said with a smile: "Leling, Brother Jiu's invitation to Prince Jue today is not just as simple as drinking, Brother Jiu also made a fun bet with Prince Jue just now, I believe you will like it......"

Xia Ji explained the matter to Xia Leling from beginning to end, and repeated the first question of Li Ling's knock just now, word for word.

"How? Isn't that interesting?"

Xia Leling said: "Then what is the solution to the problem of Prince Jue?"

"I just thought of a solution. Jiang Changan stood up and said: "This problem seems to be very cumbersome to solve, but there is a 'foot cutting method'. ”

"Foot cutting method?" Xia Leling and the other students only knew how to solve the fixed solution according to the book said, and they had never heard of any "foot cutting method".

"Cutting feet? That's a real surprise......

"What kind of foot cutting method? It can't be a method made up by His Royal Highness the Prince Jue, right?"

Jiang Changan smiled unhurriedly: "Yes, it doesn't count." ”

"If His Royal Highness the Prince really has any new methods, then I hope that in front of many students, I will also ask His Royal Highness the Prince Jue to give advice. "Academics are already arrogant, and Li Lingtong doesn't believe that there is another solution to this problem.

Jiang Changan did not shirk either, and said bluntly: "The so-called foot cutting method means that if half of the feet of each chicken and each rabbit are cut off, then each chicken will become a 'one-horned chicken', and every rabbit will become a 'two-legged rabbit', so that the total number of chickens and rabbits will change from ninety-four to forty-seven......

"Prince Jue has gone around in such a big circle, it's not for himself to add trouble, what kind of simple way is this?" Li Ling knocked, and the students on the side also rushed to echo. Even Xia Leling was also excited, not because of this method of solving the problem, but because of her heartfelt disgust for this kind of banquet with a smile on the surface and a knife hidden in her smile.

Jiang Changan chuckled, regardless of anyone's ridicule and continued: "If there is a rabbit in the cage, the total number of feet is one more than the total number of heads, so the difference between the total number of feet forty-seven and the total number of heads is thirty-five, which is the number of rabbits, and it is concluded that there are twelve rabbits, obviously, the total number of heads is thirty-five, and the number of chickens is twenty-three." ”

Jiang Changan's tone was surprisingly flat, this kind of question can even be done by elementary school students, so there is no sense of accomplishment.

But the students present all had surprised expressions, and their frightened eyes stared at Prince Jue like they looked at monsters.

He really solved it, and it was in a simpler way! Li Ling looked back at every word of Jiang Changan in disbelief, and the whole person was as stupid as if he had lost his soul.

Some of the students around him even took out a pen and paper to record what Jiang Changan said on the spot, and regarded it as a treasure!

"Haha......" Xia Ji took the lead in breaking this embarrassment, and Pierre said with a smile and a smile: "It seems that Prince Jue is really a talented and agile person, and this king doubts that the sentence 'chicken ribs and chicken ribs' just now is not what you said, haha......"

Xia Ji seemed to be intentional or unintentional, and countless thoughts flashed quickly in Jiang Chang'an's heart at this moment, or was it a temptation, or was it just to ease the atmosphere?

Jiang Changan was thinking about it, and suddenly realized that there was another look staring at him, as sharp as a blade.

Xia Leling's eyes lit up when Xia Ji said the word "chicken ribs", stared at the sickly face of Prince Jue, and asked: "His Royal Highness Prince Jue has also heard the words of 'chicken ribs......'?"

"Princess Jingling said with a smile, I only went to Jiangzhou once, and I don't remember that person very well. ”

Jiang Changan's answer was vague, and at this time, if he denied that he didn't remember this person, it would arouse even more suspicion, and he could only muddy the water with gags.

Despite this, Jiang Changan was also keenly aware of the subtle changes in Xia Leling's eyes and the boring conversation just now.

At this time, a young man stood up in the group, bowed and saluted, and said arrogantly: "Xiao Pingkuo, a student in Xiajingzhou, also has a question, please solve it with Prince Jue." ”

Jiang Changan looked up, acquaintance!

The student in front of him was the head of the group of sons and brothers who met in front of the inscription poem wall next to the tomb of Sun Qiaoqiao in the east of the city, Xiao Pingkuo.

I think that at that time, because of this person's hard writing, he scolded people with two hands, which can be regarded as a teasing of the four words "insulting Swen", and he also fought a lot, leaving a few strokes on the other party's face that are more amazing than calligraphy.

How did Xiao Pingkuo know that the person in front of him was the young man he met that day, those two poems had become his laughing stock, and some people even copied them to make people laugh.

So far, the purple bruises on his face have not disappeared, and this dark cloud has been shrouded in Xiao Pingkuo's heart, just today with this good opportunity, he can humiliate the "prince", so he immediately jumped out without hesitation.

"His Royal Highness the Prince Jue has amazing quick calculation ability, but I don't know how the inscription puzzle is?" Xiao Pingkuo said, "The question below is very simple, what water has no fish, what fire has no smoke, what tree has no leaves, what flowers have no branches?"

Although it is a problem, it is clear that it is four small problems, and the difficulty of solving them has increased a lot.

Everyone listened to it and thought silently, it was the first time they had heard such a question, Xiao Pingkuo was full of confidence, how many gentlemen he had stumped with this question, how could it be so easy to solve.

This time, I couldn't help but think about Xia Ji and Xia Leling slightly.

A student thought for a moment and said, "This is absolutely impossible, rivers, lakes and seas, but wherever there is water, there will definitely be fish; no matter what kind of burning things, whether it is firewood or candles, there must be smoke whenever a fire is lit!"

Li Ling, who was just now, also shook his head and said: "If you don't have it, you can't become a tree, then this third question is not valid, what kind of flower has no branches in the end? How can it bloom without branches? Brother Xiao, this question won't be something you don't know the answer to, right?"

Xiao Pingkuo looked at Jiang Chang'an, who was contemplating with low eyebrows, and said with a smile: "There is an answer, but you have to wait until His Royal Highness the Prince Jue admits defeat first." ”

This time, this son has won! Xiao Pingkuo is so proud in his heart!

But as soon as a smile climbed up the corner of his mouth, Jiang Changan stood up and said, "What kind of water without fish, what fire without smoke, what tree without leaves, and what flowers without branches?"

"Not bad!"

Jiang Changan said with a smile: "It's very simple, there are no fish in the well water, no smoke in the fireflies, no leaves in the dead trees, and no branches in the snowflakes." ”
