Chapter Ninety-Seven: Three Strange Questions

The next day, Ji Meiqiu, Pi Qiu, and Guixiong came to the Great Chu Warriors Guild, delivered the one-star mission released by the whole plan, took a turn in Yingdu, and concentrated on returning to the inn to wait for Xueyan. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 info He has decided that after meeting with Xue Yan, he will go to the Mercenary Guild to take over a mission to Bianjing, and he is not going to stay in Yingdu.

Xue Yan came to the inn with a depressed expression, and said apologetically: "Brother Tianya, I wanted to take you to see my father, but something happened at home, so I can only do it next time." ”

Ji Meiqiu breathed a sigh of relief, if Xue Yan asked him to go to see Emperor Great Chu, he wouldn't be able to deal with it. In front of Xue Yan, he appeared as Tianya, but in front of the emperor, he was a bully.

"Won't you ask me what the reason is?" Xue Yan saw Ji Meiqiu in a daze again, and said disappointedly, "You won't care, will you?"

Ji Meiqiu smiled: "Please Miss Xueyan tell me the reason." ”

"You're necrotic. Xue Yan slapped Ji Meiqiu's shoulder, and then said gloomily: "My father is going to choose an heir between the eldest brother and the third brother, and today there are three strange questions, and whoever solves them within three days will be the heir." ”

Ji Meiqiu suddenly said: "You and the snow leopard hurried back, just for this matter?"

Xue Yan said slyly: "I thought I was very smart and wanted to see my father's strange problem, but I thought about it all day and didn't have a clue at all. ”

Ji Meiqiu's heart moved, and she said with a strange expression: "Do you help the eldest brother or the third brother?"

Xue Yan glanced at him and whispered, "Big brother is the best for me." ”

Ji Meiqiu had already guessed this result, but she just wanted Xue Yan to tell him personally. After receiving an affirmative answer, Ji Meiqiu said sincerely: "If you are not embarrassed, tell me the three strange questions, okay?"

Xueyan was waiting for Ji Meiqiu's words, she also wanted to see if Ji Meiqiu was really smart, and said happily: "The first question, my father has a special night pearl, and there is a small channel that zigzags back and forth in the beads, how to thread the soft silk thread from one end of the bead to the other?"

Ji Meiqiu's heart moved slightly, a vague impression flashed in her mind, and she said without hesitation: "Coat the mouth of one end of the bead with honey, tie the silk thread on the ant's hind legs, and put it at the other end of the channel." ”

"That's okay? yes, sure. Xue Yan's eyes lit up and she said excitedly: "In the second question, among the three bird eggs, two are cooked and one is raw, and the appearance is the same. You can't break an egg, you can't use any tools, how can you tell the difference?"

Ji Meiqiu thought for a while and said with certainty: "Put it on the platform and rotate slowly, the bird egg that rotates slowly is raw." ”

Xue Yan said suspiciously, "Can it work?"

Ji Meiqiu smiled: "Unless you have a better way, what about the third question?"

Seeing Ji Meiqiu solve two questions in a row, Xue Yan had the urge to hug Ji Meiqiu, and finally calmed down, and said slowly: "Put the pine chopsticks in the jade bottle, the mouth of the bottle can't be inserted into the fingers, and the chopsticks are a few points away from the mouth of the bottle." I can't use any utensils, I can't turn the jade bottle on my side, how do I take out the chopsticks?"

The answer appeared in Ji Meiqiu's mind again, but she pretended to think for a long time before saying: "Pour water into the jade bottle, and the chopsticks will naturally float out of the bottle, and you can easily take it out." ”

Xue Yan couldn't hold back any longer, and suddenly hugged Ji Meiqiu and said, "It's really you, my smart fool." ”

The most difficult to accept the grace of the beauty, Ji Meiqiu is not dislike Xueyan, but in the depths of his mind, he is very resistant to the matter of starting a family. Today is the second time he has had close contact with Xue Yan, and Xue Yan's actions have made him feel at a loss.

Seeing that Ji Meiqiu didn't respond, Xue Yan said leisurely, "Brother Tianya, you don't like me?"

Ji Meiqiu saw Xue Yan's complaining expression, her heart tightened, and she said distressedly: "Xue Yan, didn't you give me ten years? He was thinking that in ten years, Xue Yan should have promised to marry someone a long time ago.

Xue Yan shook her head and said, "No need, I won't marry someone else." It's just that you can't come to my house to propose marriage now, and when I discuss it with my father, you can come quickly, okay?"

"Xue Yan, many things are not what you can imagine. Ji Meiqiu knew that he still had a hurdle with Xue Yan, that is, his identity, Princess Xue Hong's former fiancΓ©, and Emperor Da Chu would definitely not agree to his marriage to Xue Yan.

"I don't care, you don't want to marry. Xue Yan stood up, stared at Ji Meiqiu and said resolutely, "If you don't marry me, I won't marry for life." ”

Ji Meiqiu didn't want to talk about this matter anymore, and said softly: "Tomorrow I will leave Yingdu, and I will take over the mission to Bianjing in the name of the Qiuxue Mercenary Group." ”

"Qiuxue Mercenary Regiment?" Xue Yan was really fickle, and immediately said happily: "This name is great, I will also register as a mercenary immediately, remember, the head of the regiment must be me." ”

Ji Meiqiu, Pi Qiu, and Guixiong were looking for a one-star mission in the Yingdu Mercenary Guild, and they finally found it, which was to assist the Nine Heavens Mercenary Regiment to escort the caravan to Bianjing.

Nine Heavens is one of the top five mercenary groups in the Great Song Dynasty, and the strange thing is that after they accepted the five-star mission to escort the caravan, they released a one-star mission in the mercenary guild in the name of Nine Heavens, forming a huge escort team.

When Ji Meiqiu, Pi Qiu, and Guixiong came to the designated place, the formation of the Nine Heavens team had been completed, and they were about to set off. Seeing three more young people, the person in charge of the Nine Heavens was very unhappy, but he had to accept Ji Meiqiu and the others.

The day after Ji Meiqiu left Yingdu, Emperor Dachu decided to appoint the eldest prince as the prince. The third prince invited the top ten young talents of the Great Song Dynasty, and even did not hesitate to use a magic weapon as a reward, but in the end he was defeated, so angry that he swung his sword and beheaded several palace maids and eunuchs.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and the third prince soon learns that Xue Yan, who has a close relationship with the eldest prince, has solved these three problems with the help of a mercenary named Tianya.

Dong Wei lived in the Three Princes' Mansion, and when he heard Tianya's name, his most hated face appeared in his mind. Without waiting for the three princes to ask for each other, they directly mobilized the people of the Pillow Chamber of Commerce to specialize in the court, and it only took one day to find out: Tianya registered a mercenary group named "Qiu Xue", and he had already taken over the task and was on his way to Bianjing.

The Nine Heavens Mercenary Regiment does not value the three young men of the Qiuxue Mercenary Group, the entire escort team has reached more than 100 people, most of the mercenaries have the strength of martial artists, they estimate that these three young people are only in the realm of warriors, so they arranged for them to be in the back of the caravan, responsible for helping the stragglers.

On the fifth day after this huge team left Yingdu, the chief of the Nine Heavens gathered the convoy and announced: "In front is Yuping Mountain, there is a powerful bandit here, we have already said hello, we are afraid that the bandits will backtrack, everyone raise their spirits, and strive to pass Yuping Mountain today." ”

The relationship between the bandits and the mercenaries is extremely complicated, and in a large mercenary group like the Nine Heavens, the bandits are still very face-saving, so the escort team is not particularly nervous. But the thieves in Yuping Mountain are very powerful, so I am afraid that they will not play their cards according to common sense.

Shortly after the convoy entered Yuping Mountain, it only heard a cannon sound, and more than 30 fierce bandits blocked the road ahead.

Seeing that the number of bandits was small, the chief of the Nine Heavens was about to step forward to talk, but he heard the leader of the bandits in front shouting loudly: "Listen, the chief of the Nine Heavens, don't rob your caravan today, as long as you hand over the three Qiuxue mercenary groups in the escort team, you can leave Yuping Mountain immediately." ”

The trouble came, but it was Chong Ji Meiqiu and the others who came.
