Chapter 61: Mid-Autumn Festival Dinner (2)
"Good archery!" Curry didn't seem to be angry that his samurai lost the game, but applauded very arrogantly, "It's really admirable to be the crown prince of the dynasty." ”
Yin Xiao was also very happy because of the unexpected surprise created by Yin Qi, and laughed with Curry, and his heart had a little change in his heart about Yin Qi.
"Curry, in this way, it seems that I have won." Yin Xiao smirked and looked at Curry's gaze with a visible provocation.
"The show has just begun, the emperor should not be complacent too early, it is unknown who killed the deer." Curry smiled indifferently, showing no emotion.
Shen Qingyan took everything in his eyes, slightly closed his eyes, and had some disdain for Yin Xiao in his heart, as the emperor of the current dynasty, he had no magnanimity, but was a philistine, short-sighted, and had no foresight, I really don't know why such a father can give birth to such an excellent son as Yin Qi.
Yin Qi took a sip of the teacup and covered up the sarcasm at the corner of his mouth, didn't Yin Xiao understand until now that Curry's purpose was never the so-called conditions for winning the game, but to take the opportunity to win over the strong man of Mucheng. If it weren't for the fact that Yin Qi and Curry had already formed an alliance, I am afraid that in such a simple-minded situation as Yin Xiao, Mucheng would lose many capable people.
Yin Yuan calmed the anger in his chest on the side, very dissatisfied with Yin Qi's amazing performance of stealing the limelight, and also surprised by the depth of Yin Qi's concealment, judging from Yin Qi's only few performances today, his martial arts are simply unfathomable, although he doesn't want to admit that he is not Yin Qi's opponent at all.
Shen Wanyan didn't pay much attention to Yin Qi's performance, because it had nothing to do with her next changes, as long as it didn't affect her plans, then she didn't need to care.
Concubine Li Guifei's face was irrepressibly gloomy, worried about Yin Qi's recent more and more self-expression, Yin Qi pretended to be stupid to let himself and Yin Qi relax their vigilance and spare him for his life, but they didn't want to wait until they found out that Yin Qi was a hungry wolf with fangs, it was too late. It seems that for Yin Qi, he and Yin Yuan must always be vigilant, and he must not be left with any opportunity to suppress himself and Yin Yuan.
Curry watched everyone's faces with great interest, he has always liked to watch a play, and this Mucheng play is a wonderful one. When Yin Qi found himself to form an alliance with himself, he weighed the pros and cons of many aspects, and finally agreed to stand on the same team with Yin Qi. In fact, Curry is not so much a good messenger as a good businessman, a businessman who never looks away. He knows best what he wants, and he also understands how he can get what he wants most quickly and easily, and in his eyes, profit is above all else, so for him, there will be no permanent friends, and there will be no permanent enemies. However, Yin Qi managed to convince him and follow behind him without dissent, because Yin Qi can always guess what he wants, and he can also guess what he wants next, although this makes Curry a little helpless But it also saves Curry a lot of trouble, and at the same time, it also makes Curry sincerely admire. Therefore, for Curry, an alliance with Yin Qi is the most suitable choice.
"Father, it's getting dark, it's better to move to the lobby and go to the lobby to rest first and prepare for the dinner." Yin Yuan stood up and proposed to Yin Xiao. He can't wait to overpower Yin Qi at the moment, the next game will be Biwen, if Yin Qi doesn't expose himself, it is impossible for him to stand up and compete, Yin Qi is a person who likes to dance and ink, but he has always been interested in this kind of competition, so it is the moment for him to be in the limelight.
"Alright, Curry, let's move to the lobby first." Yin Xiao thought about it and agreed to Yin Yuan's proposal, so the group walked towards the lobby.
On the way, people whispered about Yin Qi's wonderful performance just now, Yin Qi heard it, and just treated it indifferently, but what he knew was that now he had left an indelible impression in the minds of the ministers, which would be of great benefit to him in the future by telling the truth and winning people's hearts, which is why he would participate in the competition today.
Shen Qingyan didn't hear what those people said, and there was a feeling in his heart that he could see the moon, but he felt that his eyes were a little sour, and at the same time, he felt sorry for Yin Qi. Over the years, Yin Qi has hidden his talents, and has been despised by so many people, no one knows how good he is, and today is just the tip of the iceberg of showing his strength, and he has already received so many exclamations and praises, of course, mixed with some regrets for Yin Qi's stupidity, Shen Qingyan is indescribably relieved Although Yin Qi's excellence has never needed to be judged by those people.
When he arrived in the lobby, according to etiquette, Curry sat in the lower seat closest to Yin Xiao and Concubine Li, and next to Curry below were Yin Qi as the crown prince and Shen Qingyan, the crown princess.
"I have heard for a long time that the crown princess is the first beauty in Mucheng, and she is shocked, and when I saw it today, it was so." Curry looked at Shen Qingyan and couldn't help but feel amazed At the same time, he felt that Yin Qi and Shen Qingyan were very good-looking.
"Your Excellency the Envoy has praised it." Shen Qingyan replied very modestly, "The world is so big, there are countless beauties, not to mention that each flower is in its own eyes, and Qingyan does not dare to make a mistake." “
"Hey." Yin Xiao waved his hand when he heard Shen Qingyan's answer, "Daughter-in-law doesn't have to be modest, the truth of what Curry said." Yin Xiao smiled very comfortably, feeling that Shen Qingyan's skin had earned Mu Cheng's face, and with Shen Qingyan's appearance, just standing there was enough to make anyone admire.
Yin Qi pursed his lips in displeasure, he didn't like other men to pay too much attention to Shen Qingyan and discuss Shen Qingyan's appearance bluntly, which would make him feel that Shen Qingyan was offended.
Curry saw Yin Qi's unhappy face on the side, and smiled helplessly, he knew that Yin Qi had always doted on his crown princess, but he didn't sincerely think that he had been pampered to such a point.
"Your Majesty, it's better to take advantage of now to complete the second competition." Curry stood up and saluted.
"It's okay, let's finish the dinner before it officially starts." Yin Xiao nodded in agreement.
"The minister brought a problem of the vassal country, if there is any capable person in Mucheng who can answer it, it is Mucheng who wins. Then the minister admits defeat on behalf of the vassal state. Curry said confidently, as if he didn't think anyone would be able to answer the puzzle.
"Okay, you ask." Yin Xiao thought for a moment, but still agreed to Curry's request, he didn't believe that Mucheng was full of talents, and he couldn't even answer a difficult question.
"Okay, that's it." Curry nodded, took out a piece of parchment from his shirt, and presented it to Yin Xiao, "The paper is the answer to the question." “
Curry cleared his throat, and his voice was loud and clear enough for everyone present to hear the question: "A prisoner is in a room with two doors, one leading to life and one to death, and there is a guard at each of the two doors, one telling only the truth and the other telling the lie. This prisoner can only ask one question to determine which door to go to, what is he asking?"
As soon as Curry finished saying the question, he just swore that Curry was just an exaggeration, and he instantly fell silent, and the question went around and around, and he couldn't even understand the question, so how could he answer it.
"I wonder who can answer this question?" Curry smiled and looked around, looking very happy to see everyone embarrassed.
Yin Xiao frowned, he didn't even understand the question at all, looking at the people with wrinkled bitter gourd faces below, knowing that these people were unreliable, he turned his gaze to Yin Yuan and Yin Xi.
Yin Yuan frowned, trying to think about the answer, but he was dizzy by the twisting and turning of the question, and when he saw Yin Xiao's eyes, he shifted his gaze a little weakly.
Yin Ci himself was also very interested in this question, so he thought about it very seriously, although he was not like Yin Yuan, he was directly dizzy by the question, but after assuming a variety of answers, he was overturned one by one, and he was thinking seriously at this time, and he had no time to pay attention to the eyes handed over by Yin Xiao.
Yin Xiao was a little anxious when he saw that Yin Yuan and Yin Ci were both thinking about the answer, although the game was a best-of-three game, but his original goal was not to lose a game, because even if he only lost one, he would lose face in Mucheng.
Yin Qi looked at the teacup on the table boredly, and the moment he listened to the question, the answer was already clear to him, but with his current situation, he couldn't be too public, so he sat honestly and didn't speak.
Shen Qingyan also racked his brains for a long time, but still didn't come up with an answer that would not be overturned, and when he raised his eyes and looked at Yin Qi, who was already distracted, he knew that this person had already come up with an answer, pursed his lips, and expressed his jealousy to Yin Qi.
"There is a law, I don't know if it's correct." Shen Qingchen, who was in the distance, suddenly spoke, breaking the silence. He was delayed because of some official business, and witnessed Yin Qi's heroic deeds, but he didn't expect that as soon as he arrived in the lobby, he heard everyone's whispers on this topic, thought for a while, and finally decided to stand up and save a little face for Mu Cheng.
Pointing to one of the guards, he asked the other: Will he tell me which gate is alive? The door that the guards don't point to is the raw door. If he is telling the truth, then the door he is pointing to is the door to death, and if he is lying, then he should go through another door. Shen Qingchen told the answer eloquently, thinking very clearly.
"Good! Aiqing answered well! Yin Xiao laughed and looked at the answers on the paper, the content of which was roughly the same as the answers described by Shen Qingchen. Yin Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly praised Shen Qingchen in his heart.
"There are really a lot of capable people in Mucheng." Curry smiled and expressed his admiration for Shen Qingchen, "The minister admits defeat, and the conditions proposed by the minister will be withdrawn immediately." “
"Okay." Yin Xiao smiled, not hiding his pride, "You can enjoy the dinner today, and you won't mention the previous things again." “
"Your Majesty." Curry saluted lightly, and didn't feel much about the defeat of the game, after all, he never came to Mucheng for any so-called conditions.
Curry returned to his seat, glanced at Yin Qi quietly, and then did not move, just sat on the seat and sipped tea, waiting for the dinner to begin.
