Chapter 39: Brain teasers

With the submission of the lords of the Pontian Dynasty, some other small lords in the vicinity also surrendered one after another, and after stabilizing the rear, Su Le was in Gur on the front line, waiting for the opportunity to expand his territory. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

One day at a family dinner, Su Le was chatting with Izuki Shanzi, Roxanna, and Naki. Originally, Athena was also expected to return that day, but because of an urgent delay, it would take a little later to come back, so Naki asked some questions for everyone's entertainment.

"The first question: more living or more dead?" Naki asked.

Su Le immediately replied, "There are many living people, because the dead no longer exist. ”

Legend has it that Alexander the Great captured ten Brahmin monks and tested their wisdom, and Su Le had also heard about it, so he answered it fluently.

Naki was a little surprised, and immediately asked a second question: "Where is the greatest beast on the earth and on the sea?" ”

Answer: "The earth produces great beasts, for the sea is only the earth...... That is, part of the earth. ”

"Third question: What animal is the most cunning?"

"An animal that humans haven't discovered yet...... Actually, I think humans are the most cunning. Su Le replied.

"Why do you want to incite the king of earth to rebel?"

This fourth question had to be asked by Su Le, as the conqueror, so he deliberately asked Naki with a straight face: "Why did you incite the Tuwang to rebel?" ”

The answer is because the Brahmin monks want to ...... He will either live or die with dignity. The fifth question is: Which is longer, day and night? ”

Su Le only remembered some simple brain teaser questions, which he didn't remember.

"The days are long, but only for one day." Roxana replied for Sule, and then smiled and said, "For difficult questions, you should answer them with profound answers." That's what the wise man explained at the time. ”

Persia was also the land that Alexander had conquered, so it was normal for Roxanne to know these puzzles, and she asked the sixth question directly: "How must one be truly loved?" ”

"This man must be very dignified but not intimidating, as Your Majesty does." Naki also learned to rush to answer the question: "The seventh question: How can a person become a god?" ”

"Do what others can't." Su Le finally remembered one.

Naki then asked the eighth question: "Life or death, which is stronger?" ”

"It is life, because life will endure so much suffering." Su Le replied.

"How long is the best time for a person to live?" Actually, the ninth question is the last one.

Answer: "Live until death is more satisfying than life seems." ”

"One last question: Your Majesty, how do you think you have answered?" Naki asked with a smile.

Seeing that Izuki Shanzi, who was born in the East China Sea, was left out in the cold, Su Le threw the question to her: "Ashan, what do you think of my answer?" ”

"Your Majesty, don't you know that I can barely understand what you are saying?" Izuki Sugiko said angrily: "In my opinion, your answers are worse than the other. ”

Just when the atmosphere of the four of them was very good, Su Le was about to turn purple tonight, and when he was three times lucky, Athena came back and brought a major news: "It seems that the Meng people are about to split internally!" ”

"The Meng people are going to split internally?" Su Le repeated, and then said: "The tradition of the Meng people seems to be that the younger son inherits the family business, and the older brother has to go out to fight the world by himself. This was good for rapid expansion when other countries were weak, but now they were at the end of their power, and they were beginning to struggle for power internally. ”

Izuki Shanzi looked at Su Le pretending to be deep, feeling a little awkward, and deliberately teased him: "Your problem is even bigger, there is no heir, and no matter how much territory you lay, it will fall apart!" ”

"Your Majesty, he's still young, so there shouldn't be any problems for the time being." Naki said.

Roxana also hurriedly eased her atmosphere and said, "Yes, maybe there will be a solution when the time comes, and it is impossible to worry about this matter now." ”

"Let's take advantage of the current opportunity, what the hell is going on?" Su Le asked.

So Athena explained the situation specifically: it turned out that the original Meng Tong Great Khan was already the third generation of descendants at this time, but on the way, after many deaths of father and son, brother and brother, there were far more than three people who sat on the throne of the Great Khan.

On the surface, Tobilei occupied China as the common Great Khan of the Mengyu people, but Haidegu in Central Asia and Obahai in Eastern Europe were not convinced by Tobilei's accession to the throne, so they planned to become independent from the Great Mengbi.

"It would be nice if they had infighting, so we would better sit back and watch the fight." Su Le said.

"Your Majesty, since you have free time, see if you can help in this matter." "Our Persian allies in North Africa and West Asia are being invaded by brutal Europeans, so if possible, help the believers of Ahula," said Roxanna. ”

"But what good will the king gain by doing so?"

Su Le said as he approached Roxanna, his hand already touching the waist of the Persian princess.

Roxanna gently pushed Su Le's hand away and replied with a smile, "Isn't it quite a good thing that Salar, the king of the Ayubu Kingdom, is a great hero known as the Sword of Ahura, and His Majesty can get powerful allies?" ”

"Since Lord Salar is so powerful, then you don't need my help." Su Le said deliberately.

"But two fists are hard to beat four hands, even if you are such a powerful person as Your Majesty, aren't you hiding from Meng Yan now?"

In fact, Su Le also felt that one person's strength was not enough, and he was willing to meet this Salar, if he really got along with him, Su Le also considered forming an alliance with the other party, after all, it was really a little slow to always fight and kill.

In the face of Roxanna's sharp words, Su Le finally stopped talking to her, "You can meet Lord Salar, you can come forward to deal with this matter, after all, you have a common faith." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, and leave the matter of the meeting to me."

……

The king of the Ayubu kingdom, Salar, was already very old, about fifty years old, but his body was still strong, just like Egypt and Western Asia under his rule, and there was no sign of decay.

Salar did not arrogantly ask Sule to go to Cairo to meet him, but arranged for the meeting to be held in the port city of Basra, so that Sule could take a boat from the northern part of the Indian Ocean directly into the Persian Gulf.

When he saw Salar for the first time, Su Le was really frightened, this person's eyes were sharp, his eyebrow bones were prominent, and his beard was trimmed at will, and the vicissitudes of life were obviously much thicker than Su Le. Su Le had no way to do this, not only did he look young, but with the awakening of his ability, the speed of aging became slower and slower.
