Chapter 11
Nar stood proudly, and said loudly, "Prime Minister Yun, Xiao Wang originally said it was a merciless request, and I asked the emperor to make a decision."

There was no trace of fear in her expression, and Yun Xiyan couldn't help admiring the courage of the Northern Mo prince.Earlier, Bei Mo gathered all the tribes in Mobei on the border to provoke Tian Lan, but Tian Lan finally defeated him and bowed his head.Now that he is in Tianlan, he dares to raise such a condition. Although it is a bit reckless, but as long as he succeeds, he can win the opportunity for his country to recuperate. I am afraid that this is the real purpose of his visit this time.Thinking about it, he must have been fully prepared. If the emperor rejects his request at this moment, it will appear that the vast country of Tianlan is afraid of Beimo.

"Your Majesty, although Bei Mo became a minister because of the defeat, his wolfish ambitions have not changed. Please think twice, Your Majesty." Father Yun glared at Gnar and bowed to the emperor.

The cold light in the emperor's eyes flashed away, but his expression was indifferent, "I have allowed him to speak out, so let's do it. If my big country of Tianlan cares about a small foreign country, it would seem petty. Prince Nar, you can tell the topic Now, I'm also curious about what the topic is."

Now that the goal has been achieved, Gnar doesn't care about the sarcasm in the emperor's words, "My lords, please listen to the question. There are seven cats in each of the seven rooms; among these seven cats, no matter which one is Seven mice can be caught; each of these seven mice has to eat seven ears of wheat; if each ear of wheat can peel off seven grains of wheat, may I ask: house, cat, mouse, ear of wheat, ear of wheat How many grains should you add together? Let’s count 60 as the time limit.”

Yun Xiyan did not expect that Gnar would propose such a problem. This can be said to be the oldest math problem in the world. It was proposed by a monk named Amos in Egypt around 1800 BC.

She remembered this question was taught by the teacher when she was in middle school when she was teaching powers. It is not difficult, but it will be a bit troublesome without a calculator. In this era, it is really difficult to give the answer within sixty counts.

I saw the top three liberal arts students frowning at the side of the hall, looking at each other.

Gnar raised his mouth slightly at the corner of His Highness's mouth, and counted softly in a gentle tone, and he counted to twenty in a blink of an eye.

Yun Xiyan raised her eyes to look at the emperor directly above the main hall, with such a big bet, she wondered how the emperor would respond.

The emperor frowned slightly, unconsciously playing with a black jade pendant in his hand, and glanced at the people below, "Your Highness, all lovers can answer, and those who answer will be rewarded."

Seeing that the count reached fifty, and no one in the hall stood up to answer, Gnar showed a smug expression, and was about to ask the emperor for instructions, when Yun Xiyan, who was sitting behind Yun Chuchen, suddenly stood up.

Yun Chuchen was also taken aback by her sudden standing up, hurriedly got up and pulled her to kneel down, "Sister Chen just drank some wine and felt a little unwell, I didn't mean to offend Tianwei, please forgive me , Weichen will take her down now."

The emperor looked at Yun Xiyan and raised his eyebrows, "Oh? I want to hear what she has to say."

Everyone at the banquet obviously noticed her for the first time. Her exquisite and beautiful face was different from the cumbersome wide-sleeved robes of other women. A bit elegant, I'm afraid it's not much better than Lin Aoxue, Tianlan's number one beauty, looking at her curiously with amazement.

Yun Xiyan didn't notice her surprise, she just looked at the black pendant in the emperor's hand with a complicated expression, her heart was beating uncontrollably, it wasn't until Yun Chuchen pulled her sleeve to remind her that she came back to her senses Come on, seeing the eyes of the emperor and everyone on her, I remembered Gnar's question, turned to Gnar and replied, "Nineteen thousand six hundred and seven."

Gnar stared at her with wide eyes, and asked with a gloomy face, "I don't know how this girl came up with this number?"

Yun Xiyan sneered, "It doesn't matter how I got it. You don't have to stare at me. You thought that no one could solve this problem within sixty digits, right? Even if your country knows how to do it, you need to use tools to solve it." Take some time. Everyone in the hall can count, even if the time is a little short, this game is won, and it is also your villain's tricks."

Gnar's face was so teased by these words that he was about to speak, but the emperor interrupted the two of them with a smile, "Prince Gnar, Miss Yun answered correctly?"

The emperor dared not answer Gnar's question, "Yes."

"Well, Miss Xi Yun will show me the calculation after we're done, and the prince will come up with the next question."

"Yes" Yun Xiyan replied, then cast a provocative glance at Gnar and went back to sit down on the seat. Passing by Yun Chuchen, she did not forget to wink at him, Yun Chuchen smiled helplessly and stroked his forehead , a headache, and the unpredictable power of the sky, this girl is eccentric and not afraid, but she almost scared him to death.

Gnar bent down and asked the emperor for instructions, "Please allow my entourage to deliver props."

The emperor nodded, and Gnar beckoned to the entourage behind him, one of whom brought a tray of goods.

When Yun Xiyan saw the items in the tray clearly, she stood up from her seat again with a "huh", could it be that this Gnar also traveled through time like herself?

Not caring about saluting, Yun Xiyan walked over in three steps at a time, stretched out her hand and said excitedly to Gnar, "Hello."

Gnar's nose was almost crooked. Seeing her passionate little hand that almost reached out to her face, he glared at her angrily. Seeing that she was still holding out her hand with anticipation on her face, she twisted her face and said in a bad tone, "The question has not been answered yet, and this item cannot be given to you yet."

Don't understand?Yun Xiyan withdrew her hand in disappointment. On the tray were a stack of small boxes and something similar to a modern balance. As far as she knew, China in this era should not have such a thing.Hey, I thought I could meet a compatriot who also caught up with the crossing tide, but he didn't even know the basic handshake ceremony, so it seemed that the joy was in vain.

The emperor looked at Yun Xiyan with a half-smile and said, "Since Miss Yun got up, I will leave this question to you. You will be rewarded for answering it. If you can't answer it, I will punish you."

Yun Chuchen clenched his fists under the table, his heart hanging in his throat.

"Could it be that this little girl is the only one who can answer the question in such a big Tianlan?" Gnar looked at the crowd at the table with disdain and said in a strange way. Xiyan answered the question again.

Although everyone at the banquet was irritated by Gnar's words, but they didn't dare to stand up because the matter was so important and they didn't know this thing. The emperor's face was so gloomy that water could drip.

"Let me answer that question."

A gentle voice sounded, a man dressed in snow-white brocade slowly entered from outside the hall, the pattern of auspicious clouds embroidered with gold silk on the hem of the skirt and the hem was like rippling waves, reflecting the cleanliness and elegance of the whole person .

The man in white walked to the center of the hall and knelt down to the emperor above, "My son is late, and I hope my father will forgive me."

"I've been busy with the imperial examinations recently, thank you for your hard work, get up quickly." The emperor finally showed a smile on his gloomy face.

Yun Xiyan opened her mouth wide, isn't this the handsome man who saved her on the street that day?
