Chapter 328: Solving the First Question
Wuhai City, today is very lively!
Because of Chen Yuan's "nonsense", a good marriage was stirred up by him into "Biwen recruiting relatives". Tuya simply accepted the plan and announced it, as long as he could solve the three problems he had set, he would marry him.
Today is the day of "recruiting relatives by Biwen".
Wuhai City was crowded, and those who participated in the competition and came to watch it were overcrowded. The temporary 500-square-meter site was enclosed.
Tuhuan sent guards to surround the field, all dressed in brocade clothes, holding spears, standing majestically. Five thousand soldiers gathered outside the city to prevent accidents.
He kept a small mustache, led the tribal leaders and subordinate officials to hold a worship and sacrifice ceremony, and then led the leaders and subordinate officials to sit on the table, solemnly announced: I Mongolian Golden Family, descendants of the Ross family, internal government affairs, external and friendly countries, now the lord of Ross Tuohuan, hard work, under the rule of the country and folk music, there is a sister Princess Tuya, age eighteen, beautiful and gentle, dignified manners...... Recruit relatives peacefully, as long as you solve the three problems, the princess will marry, sacrifice to the temple, and get married forever!
"Good!" Outside the stadium, there was a lot of cheers. The tribal princess carried out this recruitment, which was unprecedented in the history of Mongolia, whether it was for political interests or Princess Tuya's beauty and fame, which attracted other countries to rush to participate in the recruitment.
Chen Yuan took a cursory look and saw that there were as many as thirty people participating. Among them were the sons of Arutai, the princes of the Turghut tribes, and the sons of several chieftains of the Warat tribes, as well as some admirers who wanted to marry the princess.
In the field, they are either self-reliant, smiling, full of longing for the princess, or a little nervous. Only Chen Yuan quietly looked around at his opponent, his goal was to destroy this marriage, and finally negotiate with Dehuan, as long as they didn't win, Chen Yuan secretly prayed that some of the participants were idiots, and for the first time I hoped that this unreliable princess would be a real problem for the ages.
Tokhtar didn't beckon, and said loudly: "The first question, contestants, please see, there are five lion statues here, the weight is the same, they have five guards respectively, the statues are gilded, there are pure gold, only the guards know, the contestants find a way to judge whether one of the statues is gilded or pure gold, even if it passes, the rule is, you can't guess, the players who think of a way to verify in front of them can pass the test, and the ones behind can't imitate." ”
Chen Yuan looked over, and sure enough, he saw five guards holding five elephant statues and walking to the center of the venue, shining. The players on the field were stunned for a moment by the question, and then pondered.
People outside the stadium also pondered to see if there was a way.
The topic was really difficult, and after a while, there was silence on the field, and no one could think of a way.
Suddenly, the prince of Turghut came up laughing, and everyone thought that he had thought of a solution, but they were disappointed, and curious about his method, and looked at him with bated breath.
With a finger outstretched, the prince said proudly, "If you tell me the answer, I will reward you with ten thousand cows." ”
The guard's eyes lit up, and he immediately became unmoved again.
The others were dumbfounded, it turned out to be throwing money, and there was a sigh.
The prince stretched out his index fingers with both hands, crossed them together, and said in a loud voice, "One hundred thousand, one hundred thousand cows." "It's almost half of the national strength of his Turk tribe.
The guard's eyes lit up, his whole body couldn't help trembling, he struggled for a while, and finally kept silent, even if the price was increased to 100,000 cows, where would he dare to tell the truth, the leader ordered, and the life of the whole family was pressed, what was the use of getting those. The prince retreated.
What kind of prince is it, throwing money, Chen Yuan secretly laughed. Touching his chin, he searched his mind for the books he had read before to see if there was any way. I remember that I thought I had seen it, but I just couldn't remember it.
The other contestants were pondering over the princess's eternal problems, and it was really difficult to answer.
Because of the color, weight, and size of the statue, the difference is not visible to the naked eye.
"There it is." After a quarter of an hour, Polo stepped forward confidently, only to see him ask the guards for a large bucket of water and three special small basins, which had a drainage pipe three inches below the edge of the basin, and he first filled a basin with water to the overflow, and asked the statue to come, and put it in the water, and the water drained out of the pipe, and he used an empty basin to catch the water that came out. Then it was filled to the overflow, and the idol of one of the guards was taken, and in the same way, another empty basin was used to catch the water. Finally, two needles are inserted into the water depth and the shallower water is compared, and the latter one is slightly shallower.
He also explained confidently: "The weight of the object is the same, but the material is different, the volume is different, the statue just now is gilded, so the discharge of water is more, and the discharge hand in your hand is less, so it is pure gold." ”
The guard replied, "Congratulations, you've passed." ”
Polo also glanced at Chen Yuan contemptuously, and then proudly walked back to his seat, and glanced at him with a pinch, and he nodded, obviously, the idea was his.
Chen Yuan suddenly realized, yes, I have read it in a book before, it is such a truth, Archimedes' principle, just now the brain was short-circuited, and I didn't even think of it. , this pinched dry is also a traverser? Chen Yuan's eyes widened.
Made, careless, actually let him take the lead, Tuya can marry anyone, but he can't marry the Tatar Ministry, Tatar and Warat are united, and he can't be scolded to death by Zhu Di when he goes back, and Daming will be in danger. This ending is too unexpected, there are so many people who have come to participate, you have to find a way, how can you let the Tartars lead? You contestants in Warat are too wasteful. What is a broken princess, do you understand the internal operation? What kind of difficult question, you tell the answer to the person you like, won't it be over if you answer it?
Chen Yuan scolded this princess for being stupid, and racked his brains to see if there was a way.
There were already cheers outside the court, and according to the princess's instructions, there was only one way, to take off your beard without flowers: "Congratulations to the warriors, time is running out, no one else can answer the question, and the next round is coming." ”
The other contestants were very regretful and racked their brains, but they did not expect to be eliminated in the first round.
At this moment, Chen Yuan suddenly rushed forward, pulled out the knife from the hand of the guard next to him, and at the moment when everyone was stunned, he put the knife on the neck of one of the guards holding the statue, and shouted: "Bold thief, the leader asked you to take the real god statue, you actually used the fake one to fool me, you must have done something wrong, Lao Tzu cut you first, and then reported it to the leader, and put your whole family to death." ”
The guards were suddenly attacked, stunned, and seeing that the knife was about to cut themselves, they knelt down and buckled their heads like pounding garlic: "My lord spares my life, I am wronged, when the leader gave me a fake statue, even if I was given ten guts, I would not dare to do anything." He was stunned.
Chen Yuan took back the knife, returned the knife to the guard just now, smiled and said thank you when he was stunned, and walked to the guard who took the statue just now, he had already stood up, and the guard said bitterly: "Congratulations, you have passed." ”
Chen Yuan's movements were done in one go, and the other competitors on the field were as silent as death outside the field, and they were shocked, and some of them couldn't close their jaws, how special is this method possible? It's shameless.
Chen Yuan looked calm, and secretly exclaimed in his heart, it was dangerous.
-------
In the palace, Princess Tuya's residence, today is her recruitment competition, she can't appear, and she has been letting the maid pay attention to her every move outside the field.
"Princess, the prince of the Turk tribe bribed the guards with 100,000 cattle to give the answer, but failed." The maid told the prince about the bribe.
Causing several people to laugh, the princess laughed: "Ridiculous method, but I have already taken precautions, even if the guards give the answer desperately and take out 100,000 head of cattle, the prince of the Turghut tribe will not be killed by his father when he returns, and I will have to be widowed in the past." "It's a joke as if I don't care.
After a while, the guard came again: "Princess, someone has solved the problem." ”
"Who is he?" The princess was looking forward to it, and a figure appeared in her mind, could it be him?
"Back to the princess, he is the eldest son of the Arutai Taishi, and he is also the first Polo." The maid replied in a whisper.
What? The maids were all angry, and looked at the princess carefully, and saw that her face really sank, and the killing of the son of her father's enemy was definitely unacceptable to their Warat tribe.
Her eyes wandered, not knowing what she was thinking, and she muttered, "There are two more questions." ”
"Princess, the second person solved the first problem."
The princess came back to her senses in surprise and said strangely, "What method did he use?" "At the same time, I searched my own memories, whether I was lonely and unheard. Remember that it was the only way to do it first.
The waitress had a strange feeling, and after a while, she said slowly: "The second person is ...... snatched a knife and put it on the guard's neck, threatening him if he had done anything to the statue, and the guard panicked and said... The truth was spoken. ”
Tuya was stunned, this method was too ...... The princess's face also became strange, and she asked, "What is his name?" ”
The maid replied: "His name is Chen Yuan, and he is the envoy of the Ming Dynasty who came to marry." ”
The princess smiled bitterly, shameless people, sure enough, they used shameless methods.
"Oh no, princess, Dorota, he didn't spend his time against the adult, and asked the adult to stop this recruitment."
"What?" The princess's pupils shrank, and she hurriedly beckoned to the guards, "Quick, prepare the horse, I have to go out, Doro is an impatient, simple-minded, unthinking, desperate, messy recruitment, how can I get a foothold in the Ross family." ”
