Chapter 10: Test 3

Su Li smiled lightly and drank the rest of the tea cup after cup slowly.

When it was time for the last cup, Xiao Heng stopped: "Princess, the victory and defeat have been divided, so you don't need to drink this cup of tea." ”

Su Li ignored him and fell away. Seeing Xiao Heng worriedly taking the antidote from her sleeve, she laughed.

Under Xiao Heng's puzzled eyes, he slowly spoke: "Princess Ben said that one of the cups was poisonous, how can Mr. believe that it must be true?"

A fresh breeze wafted by outside the window, carrying a faint scent of orchid......

Xiao Hengzheng was puzzled, and suddenly had a headache, he knew that he was poisoned.

But why didn't he show signs of poisoning when he first drank it, and it didn't happen after such a while.

"There is no poison in the six cups of tea, sir, you might as well guess where the princess put the poison. ”

Xiao Heng calmed down and carefully observed the room, all of which were the same as before.

Just when he was clueless, there was a faint orchid aroma from the tip of his nose, and another headache.

He was shocked, the smell of this incense was wrong, and he only realized it now.

But combined with everything Su Li had just done, he understood in an instant.

"You poisoned the incense burner. He said in a firm tone.

"Sir is really smart. ”

Su Li took the opportunity to smear the powder on the incense burner as early as when Xiao Heng turned his head.

And those six cups of tea were just to delay time, after all, the reaction of the smoke and powder was a little slower, and Xiao Heng smelled this smell every day, so it was hard to guarantee that he would not notice it.

It turned out that Xiao Heng was indeed too familiar with this taste, and it only took a while to deduce it. Su Li couldn't help but be glad that he thought of using six cups of tea to delay time, otherwise Xiao Heng's chance of being hit was really not big.

"Sir, now is the real victory. ”

Su Li smiled brightly, but Xiao Heng only felt that it was extremely dazzling, he was actually calculated by an eight-year-old girl.

"You and I have absorbed some of the fragrance, but why haven't you been poisoned?" Xiao Heng couldn't figure it out, because he didn't give her an antidote.

"In the royal family, there is naturally no shortage of things like antidote pills, and I brought some with me just in case, but I didn't expect to use them by mistake. There was schadenfreude in Su Li's tone, which made Xiao Heng's heart stop.

"The princess will go back and rest first, and come here early tomorrow morning for the final test. Xiao Heng's face was not very good, and his head began to ache faintly again.

Su Li saluted and went back, Xiao Heng saw Su Li who had already gone out, and quickly rubbed his head.

"Xia Qing, throw away the incense burner. ”

"Yes. A gust of wind blew, and the incense burner on the table was gone.

It was another early morning, Su Li came to the door of Xiao Heng's study and took a deep breath.

The last test is over, and after that, you can worship Xiao Heng as a teacher.

After Su Li calmed down the tension in his heart, he pushed the door in.

After sitting down opposite Xiao Heng, he spoke: "Sir, please speak, what is the test of this third level?"

Xiao Heng didn't speak, took a book on the side, turned to a certain page, and handed it to Su Li.

She took it with some doubts, and looked at the words on the page under Xiao Heng's eyes.

It was found that it was the content in the history book "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", and it was written about some fragments of Cao Cao.

She was puzzled: "This history book that suddenly came out a few years ago, I read it when I was idle and bored in Tianlang Temple. But I don't know if that kingdom has never appeared in history. ”

"I don't know if someone made it up or what, but I think it's very interesting, and it's good to pass the time as a pastime when I'm not busy. But I don't know what I mean, sir, but this book has something to do with my third test?"

Xiao Heng nodded and spoke: "Regardless of whether this book is true or not, you can first talk about what you think of Yang Xiu." ”

Su Li pondered for a moment and said, "This person is quite talented, but he doesn't know how to be restrained. The sharpness was so sharp that Cao Cao disliked it, and it was reasonable that he was killed by Cao Cao in the end. ”

"Do you think the reason why he was killed was just because of his sharpness?" Xiao Heng was a little confused, this girl was obviously very smart in some places, why was she so stupid when it came to these scheming issues.

Su Li asked uncertainly, "Could it be ...... Isn't it?"

"Boom-"

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Heng knocked on Su Li's head with a bang.

Su Li looked at him in horror and confusion, "What are you doing, stinky old man, how dare you do this to Princess Ben." ”

Xiao Heng took a leisurely sip of tea and said, "Keep thinking." ”

There was a hint of irresistibility in his tone, and Su Li thought that it might be related to the test, so he carefully recalled the contents of the book.

Although he can guess Cao Cao's thoughts, he goes around publicizing his thoughts, especially when it comes to some things that Cao Cao doesn't want people to know. This should be the single most important reason. Su Li replied cautiously.

"Boom-"

Another pop knocked down, and Su Li almost wanted to flip the table.

Before Su Li could scold, Xiao Heng directly intercepted Su Li's words and said, "Think again!"

Yang Xiu seems to know something about his death, if it is really too sharp, or if it exposes some of Cao Cao's thoughts, then he will inevitably restrain himself.

So what exactly is the reason?

Xiao Heng saw her tilting her head in thought, her face was wrinkled, and she sighed secretly.

This girl is really not smart when she should be smart, and she is smart when she shouldn't.

He thought about the fact that he had been successfully poisoned by her, and that didn't he seem stupid.

Xiao Heng reminded: "Who is Yang Xiu?"

Su Li had a flash of inspiration in his mind, "He is Cao Zhi's person." It was because of the dispute between the crown prince that he was deeply involved in the struggle for succession, which affected Cao Cao's election of the crown prince. ”

This time he was finally not beaten again, Xiao Heng was silent for a moment, and said: "What you said is right, this is also part of the reason, but he also died under his own talent." ”

Su Li looked at Xiao Heng in confusion, why was his talent also a part of his death?

Xiao Heng continued: "Later Cao Cao made Cao Pi the crown prince, and a high-ranking person would also kill the talented Yang Xiu in order to avoid his brothers from falling into trouble in the future. ”

Su Li suddenly realized that this was indeed the case. In history, in order for the next prince to sit on the throne, there are many emperors who don't even let go of their own sons, not to mention just a strategist. I can't help but sigh a little.

"Boom-"

Another slap, now that Su Li really wanted to flip the table, she gritted her teeth and said, "Sir, am I missing something again?"

Xiao Heng glanced at her and said in disgust: "Don't you want to apprentice yet?"

When Su Li heard this, he immediately happily apprenticed to Xiao Heng. How bright and brilliant the smile should be, and how sweet and sweet the tone should be: "Master~, please accept the apprentice's worship~"

Xiao Heng's face was very dark, and he was speechless, how could he accept such a dog-legged apprentice.

stroked his forehead and said, "Let's go down and rest first, starting tomorrow, Feiyu will teach you martial arts." ”

Su Li was originally very happy, but when he heard that the person who taught him was Han Feiyu, the whole person was not good.

immediately retorted: "Master, why didn't Xia Qing teach me?"

Xiao Heng smiled and said, "Xia Qing taught you, you are still too young to stand it." After you lay a good foundation, let him teach you swordsmanship. ”

Su Li had no choice but to give up, so he bowed obediently.
