Na Yan Ke looked at Ling Ye and took out his last question: "This is a three-foot-long wooden stick, how can you tell which is the head and which is the tail without breaking the wooden stick?"

This question does seem to be quite difficult, and most people really don't know how to tell it. But Ling Ye had already figured out a solution last night when he heard the three questions Wu Peng told him. He took the stick, took out a thin rope and a pair of scissors, compared it with the stick, cut off the extra rope, and folded the rope in half, so that the rope was exactly half the length of the stick.

Others were basically confused, and they didn't know what tricks he was playing. Na Yan Ke's face changed color, and his gaze at Ling Ye was a little convinced.

Ling Ye ignored him and said to Emperor Shenwu: "Your Majesty, if you can, please allow me to borrow pen and ink." "The pen is meant to be dipped in ink to write, and you can't write without ink, and you often don't carry this thing with you.

Emperor Shenwu nodded and ordered Cheng Lian to prepare. Seeing that this appearance is not shocking, and he has easily answered two difficult questions that countless people can't answer with all their brains, Emperor Shenwu can't help but admire him quite a lot, and naturally he won't expect him to fight on this third question.

The pen and ink were quickly sent up by the inner attendant and presented to Ling Ye. Ling Ye first folded the rope folded in half, measured half the length of the stick, then picked up the pen and clicked a little on the halfway point of the stick, that is, in the middle.

No one else could tell what he was doing. Ling Ye remained silent, tied the rope firmly to the place where it had just been clicked on the stick, and lifted it with one hand, so that the stick was suspended. Everyone saw that the stick, which had been suspended from the middle, was sinking at one end and upturned at the other, and the two ends were divided into weights.

Looking at Na Yan Ke, Ling Ye said lightly: "The heavy end is the head, and the light end is the tail!"

Na Yan Ke nodded, arched his hand to Ling Ye, and said convincingly: "Very good! Friend's method is correct, and you have solved this third question! All three questions are correct, friend, you are amazing!"

In an uproar, all the courtiers turned their heads and ears again, and looked at Ling Ye with a rather complicated look, some admired it, some people hated it, and some people obviously regretted it - such a simple question, why didn't I think of it!

Wu Peng stood in the middle of the courtiers, and his eyes were full of appreciation when he looked at Ling Ye.

This teenager is not simple!

Akano belongs to the jealous people. When he heard that Yan Ke was so convinced, he was extremely unconvinced, and flashed out and said: "Your Majesty, this person refuses to come out to answer first, and he will not come out until Weichen is ugly, obviously because he is afraid that he will make a fool of himself, so let Weichen come out to try first." Wechen dared to guess that this person must have thought of Wechen's methods in his heart, but he couldn't confirm it, so he used Wechen to test the questions, and he was so cheap!

He obviously had a lot of heartfelt feelings. Half of the courtiers agreed.

Ling Ye didn't even look at him, only bowed up and said, "The three problems have been solved, and the people have retreated!"

Emperor Shenwu sat still and said, "Don't be in a hurry to leave! As for you, Chiye, it was originally people who wanted to come up first, but you had to rush to come first, but now you are all wrong in all three questions, and everyone is right, and you are here with a bad heart, it is simply black and white upside down! Especially in front of the envoy from afar, it is simply an insult to our country's dignity to make such a heart! Chiye, you go out!"

Prince Gong on the side hurriedly flashed out and bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, there are extenuating circumstances, extenuating circumstances!"

Emperor Shenwu said: "I still remember, you have to rush to let Chiye come up first, right? You are worried that others will insult the national character, and the result is that you yourself will insult the national character!

Prince Gong was simply stunned: "Your Majesty ......"

Emperor Shenwu shouted: "Go out!

Prince Gong had no choice but to shout long live three times, and then pulled Chino's sleeve and went out together. Wherever they walked, people heard Akano cursing in a low voice: "The third question is that you taught me to mess around with others, this is the absolutely correct solution! Now it's okay, it's impossible to divide the bounty equally, it's very possible to divide your head equally!"

Of course, Yan Ke saw all of this. He remained silent, bowed to Emperor Shenwu and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, your country is full of talents, and you have solved our three difficult problems so quickly, and I would like to extend my sincere congratulations! Now that the mission of contempt has been completed, it is time to leave and go back, and hereby retire to His Majesty the Emperor!"

Emperor Shenwu nodded and said, "It is not easy for your envoy to come from afar, and I can't let you go back hastily." Tomorrow at noon, Zhengyang Gate will send each other!"

Na Yan Ke thanked him, crutches and made a deep gesture of thanks, and retreated, and his own attendant led him out of the door.

Emperor Shenwu's gaze turned back to Ling Ye: "What's your name?"

Ling Ye had already fabricated a fake name, and said lightly at the moment: "Cao Min!"

"Grass people?"

"Your Majesty, it's Cao Min!"

The courtiers snickered secretly, but no one dared to laugh out loud, but they just struggled to hold back. On the left, a person flashed out and said: "Your Majesty, this Rao's name must be fabricated, how can there be such a coincidence? It can be seen from this that this person does not even dare to come out with his real name, who knows if he is a great criminal who has committed a great crime and wants to use this to atone for his sins?"

Emperor Shenwu glanced at Wu Peng and said slowly to the man: "Will Marshal Wu Peng bring a vicious criminal to the court?

Wu Peng smiled and bowed and said, "Your Majesty Xie trusts!"

Emperor Shenwu rebuked the man, turned to Ling Ye again, and said slowly: "Cao Min, this time you suppressed the arrogance of the barbarian envoy, and you have made great contributions, I have named you the Marquis of Anping, and you will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold!"

"The Emperor seems to see who I am. ”

After returning to the Marshal's Mansion, Ling Ye said to Wu Peng lightly.

Wu Peng smiled and said, "Really, why aren't you on the road?"

Ling Ye said lightly: "Someone eavesdropped on the road, and they didn't leave until the gate of the house." ”

"Oh?"

Ling Ye said: "I believe the marshal himself heard it, but he just kept quiet." ”

Wu Peng smiled, which was considered acquiescence, and only asked, "Who do you think is going to eavesdrop?"

Ling Ye said lightly: "Although I have enemies, I haven't aroused suspicion and attention at the moment. Your Excellency Marshal is the leader of the Witch Sect, and there are naturally many people who want to eavesdrop on your secrets. Nine times out of ten, this eavesdropper is from the Blue faction!"
