Chapter 1351 Closed Loop Answer

"please!"

She Fu played well, and Zhang Xuezhou also got a seat in the hall.

Even though it was arranged last, Zhang Xuezhou didn't mind.

He raised a glass with everyone and took a sip of the rare wine in Pingyang Marquis Mansion. He felt that this wine was a bit far from the standard of drinks, and it was incomparable with the Emperor's Jiuzhen Wine.

The ingredients for the banquet are winter bamboo shoots, dog meat, beef, and pork. These ingredients are placed in urns and roasted over a charcoal fire underneath.

This can be regarded as the most comfortable meal Zhang Xuezhou has ever had in this world.

The dishes were of a very high standard, which made Zhang Xuezhou focus more on eating and drinking in addition to toasting to celebrate.

The dancers waved their arms, showing graceful figures, and some women sang along with the musicians ringing the chimes, and the occasional hint of piano sound added a touch of elegance.

He was left disappointed until Wei Qing sat next to him with an envious look on his face, and then he quickly made room.

"I have to drive three thousand carriages to earn this ten thousand gold!"

Zhang Xuezhou muttered in his heart.

He congratulated Zhang Xuezhou, and couldn't help but curiously asked Zhang Xuezhou why he could successfully shoot down in just three sentences.

"There is wet mud on the soles of Pingyang Hou's shoes. A person like him travels without touching the ground. It is most likely that he has covered the mud for this shot. The hibernating toad is neither alive nor dead. It is a benefit for hunting insects, but It’s also noisy. Marquis Pingyang likes the benefits of toads, but doesn’t like the noise of frogs. He can’t say whether he likes or dislikes toads, and this living thing is not something he can carry with him!”

He sent Wei Qing to ask for the answer. Wei Qing felt that he had got an answer, but he did not understand the use of this answer.

"profound!"

If I don't know, my mentality will almost collapse.

His judgment was only based on his observation of Marquis Pingyang, Princess Yangxin and others, and he also identified the differences between Marquis Pingyang and others, thus making a basic guess.

"I think I didn't understand," Wei Qing said, "How did you know that there was a toad sleeping in the pot?"

The new emperor was more curious about Zhang Xuezhou, the new master of shooting.

If Marquis Pingyang was not keen on shooting, and just stuffed an object into the wine pot for fun, Zhang Xuezhou would not be able to guess.

Zhang Xuezhou filled this gap.

Although Pingyang Hou put water on Shefu, he guessed it in just three sentences, which really puzzled the new emperor.

Wei Qing felt confused after hearing the answer, and even more confused after hearing the answer.

Guo Sheren is good at defeating others' shots, but Guo Sheren's ability in guessing objects is relatively average. The new emperor said that this is the reason why Guo Sheren wins eight out of ten times.

The answers to many things are very simple after being exposed, but by not exposing them, he can maintain a sense of mystery and maintain his identity as a master of shooting.

Wei Qing just thought about the half a tael he had paid for driving three or five carriages, and then looked at the tens of thousands of gold placed in front of Zhang Xuezhou, and felt that there was no comparison between people.

"I have just said that this is calculated through the Kun hexagram of Yi," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"Yi has eight hexagrams. These hexagrams include Qian hexagram, Kun hexagram, Zhen hexagram, Gen hexagram, Li hexagram, Kan hexagram, Dui hexagram and Xun hexagram. I calculated the Kun hexagram at that time. The Kun hexagram is the ground. If the terrain is Kun, the Yang will be below. , it’s not difficult to guess,” Zhang Xuezhou said.

He and Zhang Xuezhou were polite, and Zhang Xuezhou picked another three and a half taels to pay off the debt, before Wei Qing shook his head and left.

If he wanted to express this inference for other people's reference, it would be absolutely impossible for Zhang Xuezhou to say it.

Yi Xue, whom he casually mentioned, has never been studied and understood, and Zhang Xuezhou does not expect others to study it. Since no one can understand it, Yi Xue is undoubtedly a good shield.

His identity as a master of shooting was somewhat fake. Zhang Xuezhou felt that he might need to improve his abilities in detection, logic, etc., otherwise he would not be able to continue to have good luck.

At this time, the new emperor gained face, and the new emperor even sent Wei Qing to inquire, which made Zhang Xuezhou extremely satisfied. If you do this kind of thing too much, the new emperor will need his help from time to time to grow his face.

It is also a good idea to keep the new emperor interested. As long as the answer is not revealed, his casual remarks can make people get in, and they will not feel like this after being exposed.

"As long as things are done well, the rest will be full of nonsense!"

Zhang Xuezhou was thinking about the flaws in his character and how he could make up for them.

"Scholar from the East, Liu Xun asked himself why he couldn't guess this shot after ten years of studying Yi."

It was probably when Wei Qing reported back and the new emperor and Marquis Pingyang nodded repeatedly that someone at the banquet asked a question.

Among the guests in the hall, those with the surname Cao are related to the Marquis of Pingyang, while those with the surname Liu are related to the royal family. Even if they are not direct lineage, they are collateral branches. The other party is most likely to belong to the prince and grandson of a certain area.

Zhang Xuezhou stood up and looked at the guest who asked the question several times before responding.

"I heard that Prince Wang and Sun Gong have a lot of wealth, but they regard money as dirt in their hearts, so their thoughts on victory and defeat are weaker than mine." Zhang Xuezhou said: "If they have less thoughts on victory and defeat in their hearts, it is normal for this shot to miss!"

"That is to say, my family is not short of ten thousand gold, and I have no greed in my heart, so I didn't try my best when I thought about it." Liu Xun nodded and said, "Is it because of this reason that I failed to guess the Yi, but I should at least guess It’s a vague answer, I just said that the Marquis put a bright pearl in the urn, it’s too wrong.”

"Some people are shallow in Yi but can be used for some purposes, and some are profound in Yi but can only teach others. Mr. Liu Xun may be the latter," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"I... maybe you are right. It should be okay for me to teach others the Yi Ching, but it always doesn't work when I use it myself," Liu Xun said angrily.

He stood up and asked, feeling that the questions in his heart had been answered, and being complimented by Zhang Xuezhou, he felt very happy in his heart.

This is not because Liu Xun is not good at it, nor is it that he is not good at the I Ching, but because his family has plenty of money, and what he has learned is more suitable for him to be a teacher.

He sat down contentedly, and many people around him nodded, thinking that what Zhang Xuezhou said made sense.

Those who are proficient in "Yi" are more suitable to be teachers if they fail to guess correctly. If they are able to guess correctly in "Yi", it means that "Yi" has an effect. Zhang Xuezhou's vague concept is similar to the gift of a child by a goddess, regardless of whether he is good at shooting or not. Anyone who shoots can find the answer to position themselves, forming a closed loop of answers.

His reply not only satisfied Liu Xun, but also the new emperor, Marquis Pingyang, Princess Yangxin and others also felt enlightened.

"Dongfang Shuo, I'll shoot again, can you guess it through Yi?" Princess Yang Xin said with a smile.

"Your Highness, Princess, now that I have received ten thousand gold, my belief in shooting is not firm. I may not be as accurate as before when shooting," Zhang Xuezhou declined politely.

"You are a wonderful person," Princess Yang Xin said with a smile, "It seems that I have to wait until you spend these ten thousand gold!"

"There is no need to wait for him to spend these ten thousand gold." The new emperor interjected: "This Dongfang Shuo is seriously ill. His body is so weak that he collapses when the wind blows. Once he collapses, he has to sleep for more than ten days to recover. If my sister can Give him some strong or life-threatening medicine as a reward for Shefu. I think his belief in Shefu should be strengthened immediately!"

"Oh!"

Princess Yangxin suddenly became interested.

The new emperor has talents under his command, and it is like displaying treasures at this time, so Princess Yangxin can let the new emperor take the limelight.

It seemed that Zhang Xuezhou had guessed and shot him, but the one with the long face was indeed the new emperor.

Now the new emperor obviously wants to push the talents under his command again, and also takes the opportunity to get some benefits for his subordinates.

Princess Yangxin and the new emperor were born to the same parents, how could she not understand the new emperor's thoughts.

Rather than saying that the new emperor wanted to take it from her, it would be better to say that he wanted to ask for it from Marquis Pingyang.

This demand is obtained through shooting. For Marquis Pingyang who likes shooting, even cutting the flesh will make him happy.
