Chapter 332: Keep You Rich and Prosperous
After Chen Changan's explanation, everyone understood.
The atmosphere immediately became a lot more relaxed, and all the ministers looked at Chen Changan with great satisfaction, he was worthy of being the princess consort!
It was great that the problem, which was a bit difficult for them, was solved by **An while chatting and laughing.
He answered two difficult questions correctly out of the three, and this time the sword fell into the hands of Chu's own people.
There was no change on the emperor's face. He was about to announce that Chen Changan had won when Chi Shi suddenly walked out and said.
"Emperor of Great Chu, Chen Changan has won, but I refuse to accept it!"
"Oh?" The emperor looked at Chishi and stroked his beard, "Why are you dissatisfied?"
"Your Majesty, we Xixia have been a nation of horsemen since ancient times. When it comes to survival in the wild and discerning the stars, no one can match me!"
"***These two questions are just trivial matters of the Great Chu State. They are not our areas of expertise. How can we be convinced?"
Chishi paused and said, "I'll put this on record. If this is the son-in-law chosen by the Great Chu, when I return home, a million cavalrymen will trample through the territory of the Great Chu and snatch the princess away!"
What he said offended the public!
The emperor's face was gloomy, and Xiao Zhennan was furious: "How dare a mere boy say such treasonous words!"
"The Emperor of our Great Chu is wise and sage, and our country is strong at this time. How dare a small barbarian threaten the Great Chu? He deserves death!"
"Go back to your country. Da Chu is ready to fight you!"
Xiao Zhennan was really furious. Is there no one in the Great Chu who is bullying me?
The two sides were in a stalemate, and the woman on the other end whispered a few words to the maid.
The maid nodded to show that she understood, and walked out and said, "Prince Chi Shi, are you dissatisfied?"
"What do you think?" Chi Shi sneered contemptuously.
"That's what I expected." The maid nodded and said, "Fortunately, my princess had anticipated this and prepared a difficult question for you."
"May I ask Prince Chishi, since Xixia is a nomadic people, do you know anything about sheep?"
Chishiya crossed his arms proudly and said loudly, "Of course!"
"In Xixia, our children can herd sheep at the age of three. They can join the army only after they defeat the leading ram. Unlike you in Da Chu, who read useless poetry and books, it's no wonder that you are bullied by us in Xixia!"
The ministers looked at Zhi Shi with murderous intent, but had nothing to say.
The maid just shook her head: "You are talking about national affairs, I don't understand."
"Today is the marriage arranged by ***. I will talk about this topic. Since you all know how to herd sheep, please turn back."
Following the maid's finger, they smelled a strong mutton smell. Everyone covered their mouths and noses, but saw a group of golden-armored guards arriving at the scene with a large number of sheep.
Chiya didn't know what that meant, so he frowned and asked, "Is this the third question?"
"That's right." The maid nodded and said, "You Xixia are a horse-riding people. I asked you just now, and you said you are very familiar with sheep."
"These are sixty ewes and their lambs, a total of more than two hundred."
"If you can help these lambs find their mothers within the time of one stick of incense, even if you win, what do you think, Prince Zhishi?"
Chi Shi was slightly stunned and kept silent with gritted teeth.
A ewe will definitely give birth to more than one lamb. It is very likely that she will give birth to several lambs. To be honest, it is a bit rare to find their biological mother in such a short time.
But Chi Shi also thought that when it comes to these things, the Xixia people are definitely the best in the world.
Even if they cannot recognize all of them, they are definitely better than the people of Da Chu who are only well-read in poetry and books. As long as they win, won't they be able to suppress Chen Changan?
Chi Shi immediately turned around to discuss with the guards around him. Park Bo Young also had a complicated expression, as if she had no good plan for the moment.
After a short while, Zhishi burst into laughter and said, "Alright, our Xixia warriors are ready. You didn't say whether it was one person or several people, so guard and listen to my orders!"
Zhishi pointed at the flock of sheep and said, "Each of you should distinguish them. The one who gets the most correct answers will get a reward!"
"When this prince becomes the consort of the Chu State, I will bring the princess out to share with you!"
Hearing this, the guards holding arrows rushed forward in a swarm!
The ministers of Chu were so angry that their faces were shaking. How could you say such a thing as sharing the princess?
A nation that does not respect education is truly shameless!
"Doctor Park, hurry up, find a solution, they have already started!"
Park Chung-hee was a little anxious. He hadn't answered any of the three questions correctly!
Park Baoying moved her lips and shook her head: "Prince, we in Goguryeo are not good at breeding. I'm sorry I can't do anything..."
"Damn it, what do I want you to do then!"
Park Chung-hee roared, "When I return to Goguryeo, I will report to my father and make you pay the price!"
What does this have to do with me!
Park Bo-young's face was gloomy, but Chen Changan shook his head and chuckled.
It seems that Park Bo-young is not favored by the royal family. So why should she stay in such a country? She might as well rebel early.
Of course, Chen Changan just kept these words in his mind and did not say them out loud.
It has to be said that the Xixia people are indeed a nomadic people.
They are well aware of the living habits of sheep and have unique methods for distinguishing between ewes and lambs.
A dozen guards dispersed tacitly, for fear of disturbing the flock of sheep.
Some guards were squatting, carefully observing the appearance and behavior of the lamb, while another group of guards were searching the flock for a ewe that might be the lamb's mother.
They observe the behavior of the ewes to see if any are looking for their kids.
In the busy process, the guards cooperated with each other and passed on information.
Their shouts and the bleating of sheep intertwined to form a unique picture.
Li Wuling watched as the guards found more and more people, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried. He walked up to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the Xixia people are good at associating with beasts. This time... I'm worried that Chen Changan can't do it."
The emperor did not answer, but said calmly: "The Western Xia are really abominable, old general, do you have a way to defeat them?"
"Although I am old, I have fought against Xixia for so many years. I dare not say I will win, but I will definitely not lose."
Li Wuling lowered his voice a bit: "However, if we go to war with Xixia now, the domestic situation is not stable. I am afraid that once a war breaks out, the country will be in turmoil."
The emperor looked at Chen Changan deeply and just smiled softly.
"You don't have to worry about this. If he wants to fight, I will fight and restore the blue sky and white sun to the Great Chu!"
There was a hint of ruthlessness on the emperor's face, and he seemed very determined.
Li Wuling could only stop talking and look at the Xixia people.
Most of the incense had been burned, and the remaining sheep were getting smaller and smaller. Park Chung-hee had a very troubled look on his face and was running around in a panic.
Park Bo Young felt a little sorry when she saw her prince in this state.
Quietly came to Chen Changan and said softly: "Master Chen..."
Chen Changan waved his hand: "You don't have to say anything, Doctor Park, I'm just curious, is such a country worthy of your loyalty?"
"Come with me to Da Chu, and I will ensure you prosperity and wealth?"
