Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 952

"What, you know Tai Chi?"

Hearing that Qin Tian was going to teach Taijiquan, Ma Muti, A Lu and others were shocked.

While shocked, they were also a little worried.

Taijiquan can defeat Alu, if there are many people in Datang who know Taijiquan, it will not be easy for them in Persia to defeat Datang and own the land and wealth of Datang?
They suddenly felt some fear, very big, very big fear.

"This Qin Tian is really hateful."

Everyone thought in their hearts, but faced with this situation, there was nothing they could do. Alu was a little downcast. He always thought that he was very good, but in the end he lost like this.

And in the future, there will be more people who can defeat him in Datang, right?

However, just when everyone was a little downcast, Numbiti immediately stood up again: "No, we in Persia must not admit defeat, even in terms of force, our Persia is not the opponent of Datang, but Persia's face, we must fight for it."

In their area, Persia can be said to be a hegemony-level existence, just like the relationship between Datang and Tuyuhun. The other countries in their area are all vassal states of the Persian Empire.

As a great empire, even if they couldn't easily use troops against Datang, they still wanted to save face when they were defeated by Datang.

Persia also has their own face in Persia.

After Ma Muti said this, he looked at the crowd and asked: "Who among you has a good idea, can make Datang lose face, even if you don't lose face, you must make sure that I, Persia, get back face."

Everyone looked at each other. At this time, a tall and thin man stood up.

The man was average in length, but his hair was curly.

"My lord, I have a problem here, maybe it can be difficult for the people of Datang."

"Oh, what?"

The man smiled and took out a wooden board. The wooden board was divided into nine grids, and each grid had a small grid. In these small grids, some numbers were written, but not many.

"My lord, I named this thing Jiugongge. In this Jiugongge, I have filled in some known numbers, and what the player needs to do in this game is to fill in other numbers to ensure that every one to nine numbers appear exactly once in each row, column, and house..."

This person explained the rules of the game, but after he explained it, neither Alu nor Ma Muti could understand how the game was played.

They don't understand at all.

Seeing that these people were confused, that person smiled: "This thing is very difficult. I came up with it. Others have never played it. Even if many people understand the rules of the game, it may take a day. If you want to fill in all the unknown numbers, it will take a few days. Even if I want to fill in a nine-square grid, it will take a day. Others need more, and even, it will never be possible to complete. "

The more this person talked, the more complacent he became. After listening to Ma Muti, he was overjoyed and said: "Okay, this thing is good, then you can go to Datang's Mathematical Academy. The people there are all studying arithmetic. If they Even if you can't play this game, it's hard to say about Datang's face, but remember, only give them three days, and not much more, you, after understanding the rules, try one by one, it may not cost you How much time."

After Numbly gave such instructions, the man nodded in response.
-
In the late spring afternoon, the sun is quiet.

The Mathematics Institute is a place established by Datang to study mathematics. The people here are indeed people who have achieved great achievements in mathematics in Datang, and the leader is Taishi Ling Li Chunfeng.

They are responsible for compiling some mathematics books, and also annotating some previous works, such as "Nine Chapters on Arithmetic" and so on.

Li Chunfeng is usually very slow, and he doesn't stay in the mathematics hall every day.

But today he happened to be here.

And when he was discussing an issue with a group of colleagues, a servant hurried over: "Master Li, there is a Persian named Ma Si outside asking to see you."

"Persians?" Li Chunfeng frowned, looking a little nervous.

The Persians were looking for trouble for Datang, they all knew about the ring they set up in Dongshi, but they were defeated by Qin Tian later, and now they suddenly came to their Mathematical Academy, if you say they didn’t come to ask for trouble , Li Chunfeng and the others couldn't believe it.

The so-called, if you have nothing to do, go to the Three Treasures Hall. Their Mathematical Academy has never had any contact with Persia.

It's just that they are very strange, they are a place for research, what are the Persians doing here?
"Master Li, what should I do, see you or not?"

A colleague asked Li Chunfeng, and Li Chunfeng smiled: "They are obviously not kind. If we don't even dare to see each other, won't we be laughed at if we spread the word?"

"That's right, if that's the case, then send someone to call that Mas over."

The servants took the order to retreat, and after a while, Masi was called.

And this Mars is the tall, thin, wavy man.

After Mars came in, he smiled: "Are you busy?"

Li Chunfeng was not in the mood to greet him, and said: "You are a Persian, what are you doing in my school?"

Ma Sidao: "My name is Ma Si. I am a mathematician from Persia. I like to study some things related to mathematics. During this time, I have developed a game related to numbers. However, although I have studied It came out, but I have no talent, and I still can't crack it. I heard that you have a lot of talents in the Datang Mathematics Institute, and there are many capable people, so I came here to ask for advice."

Ma Si said politely, as if he really came to ask for an answer, but people like Li Chunfeng, who are not extremely smart, heard Ma Si's words, and then thought of the matter of Alu's setting up a ring in Dongshi, immediately They knew that this was another provocation from Persia.

Deliberately brought something to make things difficult for them.

If they can't solve this problem, then Datang's face can't be saved.

Isn't it shameful that a huge Tang Dynasty can't even solve such a problem?

Moreover, people have come to the door, and if they refuse to fight, they will not be able to do so.

Seeing Ma Si's appearance, Li Chunfeng and others couldn't help wanting to beat him up.

However, Li Chunfeng and the others couldn't bear it anymore.

Li Chunfeng's cheeks twitched slightly, and he said coldly: "Oh, it turns out that your Persian country also has a plan. It's really an anecdote, but since you can't solve it, let us have a look. Maybe we can teach you well. What is it?" count."

Since Ma Si said that he came to ask for advice, Li Chunfeng followed him back.

When these words came out, Ma Si's cheeks were a little ugly, but he couldn't lose his temper.
