Sword guarding Chang'an

Chapter 40 The Answer to the Crossword Puzzle!
first question.

Prince Shan Yu couldn't answer, maybe Li Jianbai made things difficult on purpose.

But this second question.

But Li Jianbai wrote the questions according to Shan Yu's request.

It is related to the Xiongnu Dynasty. There are grasslands, cattle and sheep in the topic, which is just a simple question.

But what.

But Prince Shanyu was racking his brains, wringing his fingers, sweating profusely, counting angrily and unwillingly.

have to say.

In this scene, everyone wanted to laugh, but they could only hold back their laughter.

After all, this is the Tang Dynasty Chang'an, and every Tang person pays attention to etiquette, so he didn't laugh out loud.

But the eldest grandson Youqing is a special case.

"Hehehe..." The young lady didn't hide the slightest bit from covering her mouth and chuckling at the beginning, to now she was unscrupulous.

Even Li Yuqiong, who grew up in the palace and had excellent etiquette since childhood, couldn't hold back her smile, blushing in helplessness.

Amidst the eldest grandson's Youqing laughter, Shan Yu's expression changed from anxious to ashamed and angry, and finally completely angry.

The Seventh Prince Li Jiangong felt that the situation was not good.

Immediately stepped forward to smooth things over, and said with a smile: "Prince Shan Yu, sit down and have a cup of tea first. It is already an honor for everyone to participate in the elegant poetry meeting, and you don't need to pass the test."

But Prince Shanyu is aggressive, the more you respect him, the more shameless he will be, a typical bully and fear of evil.

"Hmph, what kind of subject is this? Could it be that the prince of the Tang Dynasty, a famous and talented scholar, counts Zhao, Qian, Sun and Li every day, counting cattle and sheep to eat grass?"

"Hmph." Li Jianbai snorted coldly, looking at Prince Shanyu expressionlessly.

And the more than a dozen rich and powerful children present, Confucian students, celebrities and talented scholars... all had a bad face, because this prince Shanyu offended everyone with a single word.

"Prince Shan Yu, don't forget, it's you who don't want to recite poems and compose songs... What, you want to go back on your word now?" Li Jianbai didn't want to give face to the other party.

"Sixth prince, right? Okay, okay, what a sixth prince. I remember you. If that's the case, please come up with the third question. I don't believe it. I can't answer it!" Prince Shanyu pointed at Li Jianbai. , let out harsh words.

Obviously, this was intentionally intimidating Li Jianbai.

The Seventh Prince also heard Prince Shan Yu's cruel words, and immediately turned his head, looked at "Sixth Brother", and whispered in Li Jianbai's ear: "Sixth Brother, don't offend this Hun Prince too much, The third question should be simpler and give the other party a step down."

Li Jianbai nodded, and patted the Seventh Prince Li Jiangong on the shoulder, indicating that he knows how to measure.

"Okay, Prince Shanyu, since the more you get frustrated, the more courageous you become, and you've come to Yaxing, then I will ask the third question. I hope that Prince Shanyu can solve it. This third question is a bit normal. How about guessing an anagram?"

"Please." Shan Yu snorted, anyway, he had already lost two rounds in a row, so he was already fearless.

"it is good."

Li Jianbai nodded, took a step forward, and uttered the riddle.

The boy in white rolled his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and asked the question: "One person ascends, the higher the weight, the heavier... Please guess a word."

Hear this question.

Everyone present was taken aback for a moment, because this topic is really too simple.

Because once Li Jianbai uttered this question, basically everyone in the room knew the answer. This is an anagram that even a child in Tang Dynasty can answer.

Everyone was puzzled.

Could it be that the sixth prince intentionally let Prince Shan Yu go?
Everyone thought about it, and they understood, because this Prince Shanyu could not be offended to death, after all, he was a prince of the Xiongnu Dynasty!
The Tang State still needs to form an alliance with the Huns.

The seventh prince, Li Jiangong, was also taken aback. He didn't expect the sixth prince to listen to his words so much and ask such a simple question.

Obviously, he was going to let Shan Yu go.

As long as one of the three questions is answered correctly, the loss will not be so outrageous, so ugly, or so messy.

As long as the third question can be answered correctly, at least it can be regarded as saving a bit of face.

The seventh prince nodded, feeling a little admiration for the sixth prince in his heart.

The eldest grandson Youqing was also taken aback, feeling very upset, and cursed: What a disappointment, what a simple problem, a three-year-old child knows.

Li Yuqiong also felt a little unbelievable, obviously the first two questions were so tricky and weird.

This last question is so simple, it is really puzzling.

The person present who knew Li Jianbai best was Li Yuqiong, so Li Yuqiong felt something was wrong, knowing that his brother would not let Shan Yu go so easily!

After all, when facing the Xiongnu mission, the Sixth Brother will definitely face it head-on, and letting go at this time is not in line with the Sixth Brother's style.

You know, even if the sixth brother is facing his father, he is not afraid of anything.

Now the third question is a bit weird.

Prince Shanyu, who answered the question, felt slightly incredulous when he heard this question, because he already knew the answer to this question.

Although I am not from Tang Chang'an, such a simple crossword puzzle is too easy.

Crossword puzzle: If one person ascends a height, the higher the height, the heavier it will be.

The answer to this anagram is one word, and this word is: fall!

"Prince Shanyu, please tell me the answer." Li Jianbai stepped forward, stared at Shanyu, and asked for the answer to the anagram.

Shan Yu snorted, and said, "This word is a word for "drop."

However, what puzzled everyone was that Li Jianbai didn't know whether it was on purpose or not. He looked up as if he didn't hear clearly, and said with his head up: "What? Please speak louder, Prince Shanyu."

See here.

Prince Shanyu said loudly, "It's a fall!"

"You're falling!"

"father!"

"Hey, you're so good, call louder..." Li Jianbai suddenly showed a strange smile on his face, with a harmless appearance, grinning, showing his white teeth: "Haha, you're right, my son Shanyu, Sit down quickly."

"Eh?" Prince Shanyu was stunned.

Because almost everyone understood it, and the scholars at the banquet also showed strange expressions.

Everyone present realized that the Sixth Prince had "played a trick" on Prince Shan Yu here! !

In an instant, everyone in the Yafeng Pavilion burst into laughter, and even He Song reacted immediately, his face turned red.

The Seventh Prince also thought to himself: No wonder Father loves the Sixth Brother so much, some call him a stupid and bad son, even he himself never thought that his Royal Brother really has a bad temper...

The Seventh Prince Li Jiangong smiled wryly, this world is really interesting.

Interesting is interesting, Li Jiangong's purpose in this life is to subvert the world and destroy the entire land of Kyushu!

the other side.

The eldest grandson, Youqing, immediately burst out laughing, completely disregarding her image as a lady, laughing so hard that she almost rolled on the ground!
"The villain is really evil, I like it, I like it...haha."

Li Yuqiong was also full of surprise, she was completely convinced by her sixth brother in her heart, and said to herself: What a monster, you must not offend this sixth brother in the future.

And the Hun prince also understood, his face was gloomy, and he no longer had the face to stay here.

He slammed the door and left, glared at Li Jianbai fiercely, and said in a low voice: "You wait for me, we'll see!!"

"In Chang'an City, stay with me to the end, who is afraid, who is the grandson!"

"My son, go slowly!"

Shan Yu hated "Ah!!", yelled to vent, and left screaming!
Li Jianbai got up and saw him off with a smile. After all, this prince of the Huns called Li Jianbai "Father" several times.
