Sure enough, the speed of the Hui people slowed down, and they quarreled with each other over the pedigree of one of the horses, and it was difficult to achieve results for a long time.

Even began to overturn the previous conclusions, began to doubt himself, and began to be a little uncertain, and the matter of this white horse pairing naturally slowed down, and even stagnated in the end.

Henuba, who was still a little proud, became more and more depressed, and he was a little embarrassed, but Lu Dongzan always had that calm expression that was not surprised, and this result should be expected.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, I'm sorry, but I can't match all the white horses back to you...... However, we have assigned more than 60 pairs of ......" Honubal to state the facts, hoping to gain some recognition.

But Princess Wencheng didn't speak, and the little palace maid said very unceremoniously: "I'm sorry, this question requires all white horses to be matched by mother and son, and your envoy didn't give the right answer." ”

"Alas......" Honubal sighed softly, a little disappointed.

The little palace maid continued: "Of the three questions, Tubo answered one, and two failed to give an answer, and all of them were unsolvable, so it seems that the fourth question is unnecessary." ”

"Hmph, presumably the fourth question is also embarrassing, these three questions are clearly embarrassing? I can't answer Hui and Tubo, how many of you in Datang can answer? Honubal was vaguely annoyed and unconvinced.

Lu Dongzan smiled: "I also want to see, how do the talents of Datang answer?" ”

"Good!" On the small floor, Princess Wencheng nodded slightly, and the little palace maid smiled: "In this case, please ask the Marquis of Huaiyang to come and help answer!" ”

"Xie Yi is not talented, he is the last talent of my Tang Dynasty, and it is a blessing to have the honor to answer the princess's questions."

I don't know why, hearing Xie Yi's words, Princess Wencheng, who was veiled on the small floor, couldn't help but want to laugh at first, and then her eyes couldn't help but be a little moist. If it weren't for the man in front of him, where would he be qualified to sit here and try out the marriage question. I'm afraid that I would have been forced to marry into the bitter cold land of Tibet.

Only a person like him dared to venture into the palace to plead with the emperor, and he had the ability to fight for himself to get to the situation he is in today, Li Anning was moved in his heart, and almost had the urge to make a promise with his body.

Seeing Xie Yi come forward, Henuba had a bad premonition, he had naturally heard of Xie Yi's prestige. Lu Dongzan, on the other hand, looked curious, as if he wanted to see how this legendary young talent of the Tang Dynasty answered.

"Marquis Huaiyang, can you answer the three questions of Her Royal Highness the Princess?" The little palace maid asked softly.

"Try it?" Xie Yi smiled lightly and took the lead in picking up the nine-song pearl.

The eyes of everyone present fell on Xie Yi, and the discerning people had already seen that this was a play performed by the Tang Dynasty. Xie Yi is likely to be the screenwriter or even the director.

It's just that these three novel questions are really confusing, and I don't know how Xie Yi will answer.

"Nine curved pearls wear silk threads?" Xie Yi groaned slightly, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid I have to find a helper for this, and I called a little chamberlain and gave an order." ”

Everyone saw that the little chamberlain was far away, and they didn't know what medicine Xie Yi was selling in the gourd. I saw Xie Yi step forward and said: "Let's talk about the second question first, distinguish the beginning and tail of a hundred logs, the tree ring theory proposed by the Tubo Prime Minister is indeed reasonable, but it is time-consuming and laborious to distinguish!" ”

"These say that Huaiyang Hou has an easier way?"

"That's nature!" Xie Yi smiled lightly. As soon as the command was given, a soldier stepped forward and threw the logs into the Qujiang Pond.

"What is this doing?"

Xie Yi said with a smile: "You have also seen that the log entering the water is not completely balanced and floating on the water, and the section that floats slightly should be the treetops." Slightly sunk into the water should be at one end of the root.

You don't need to explain more, right? As the tree grows, the roots come first, and the deeper the tree goes, the stronger the wood is, and the heavier it is. In fact, it is the same as tree rings. ”

The crowd thought about it for a moment, and it was indeed so. Importantly, the condition of the logs floating in the water speaks volumes. That's the best answer.

It really doesn't take much effort or time, just push into the water, and let the buoyancy of the water help you judge, which is really simple.

Just when everyone was amazed, the little chamberlain came back and brought back a small box, which was invisible to the people in the distance, but Lu Dongzan and Henubal could see clearly that there was an ant in the box.

Although it was the season of spring flowers, it was not easy to find an ant, so I saw Xie Yi take the silk thread and tie it in a knot and gently tie it to the ant's leg. Then smear honey on one side of the kuqu pearl and place the ants on the other side.

Seeing this scene, Lu Dongzan was already stunned, why didn't he think of this idea? At the moment when everyone was stunned, the ants smelled the honey and couldn't wait to crawl out.

Although there are nine curves in the pearl, the tiny ant can calmly climb over, and as for the silk thread tied to the ant's leg, it will naturally pass through smoothly.

When Xie Yi lifted the nine-curved pearl with silk threads high, he was greeted with countless cheers. Not only the Tang monarchs and ministers nodded again and again, but the envoys of various states were even more amazed, and the people of the Tang Dynasty on the other side of the river were the most powerful in their sense of honor and pride.

The fact that the problem of the powerlessness of the Tubo and Hui people was calmly solved in the hands of my Tang Dynasty wise man is a very proud thing in itself.

Although it was a small trick, he had to admit that he was whimsical, so Lu Dongzan was basically willing to gamble and lose, and just watched calmly.

But Honubal couldn't hold back a little, and said with some displeasure: "There are tricks in the first two questions, so this third ...... Please Huaiyang Hou match these two hundred white horse mothers and sons, don't make mistakes. ”

Xie Yi smiled faintly and said, "What's so difficult about this? ”

Hearing Xie Yi's tone, Henuba suddenly had a bad premonition, but his heart was also full of curiosity. The Hui people are a nation on horseback, and they are so familiar with horses that they can't even tell the Hui people, can a polite Hou of the Tang Dynasty do anything?

But Xie Yi asked the groom to separate the mare from the foal, then brought the foal a chew, and then prevented a wooden trough by the lake to feed the horses, which was already filled with feed.

The mare can go and feed herself, but the foal is controlled, and some people even use their whips to twitch in the air, feigning to whip the foal.

The lake was filled with the neighing of horses, the foal was in a hurry, and the mare had no intention of eating the feed. Under such circumstances, Xie Yi let the grooms completely let go.

There was a moment of confusion on the lakeside, but not for a moment, but each mare was surrounded by a foal, and they were very close to each other. The mare is looking at the foal with sad and loving eyes, and trying to get rid of the chew from the foal's mouth.

Seeing this scene, everyone's faces suddenly changed. (To be continued.) )
