Mingshi

Chapter 855 Challenge
Feng Bao walked in and saluted, "Your Highness."

"Set the table!"

Today's Yu Wang is not as poor as before. Since he got the shares of the car and horse dealer, he has become much richer, more proud, and more confident.

Feng Bao immediately arranged for people to set up tables and chairs in the hall, seven people sat around the table, and the food and wine came up like flowing water.And everyone started to eat under Yu Wang's call, but the atmosphere was very dull.No matter how King Yu adjusted the atmosphere, Gao Gong, Xu Jie, Luo Xin and Zhang Juzheng were almost silent.On the contrary, Yin Shidan and Chen Yiqin talked a lot, but as time passed, these two people became a little self-talking and boasting, and from time to time they could see the disdainful eyes of Gao Gong, Xu Jie, Zhang Juzheng and Luo Xin .

These two people were angry, and it was nothing more than being despised by Gao Gong and Xu Jie in front of King Yu. After all, Xu Jie and Gao Gong's status was there, and they were the cabinet leaders.But you, Zhang Juzheng, are just Xu Jie's lackey, what right do you have to despise us?You, Luo Xin, are just a hairy kid who doesn't even have full hair, what right do you have to despise us?
Moreover, these two people are determined to perform in front of King Yu and win status in front of King Yu.The two of them have big hearts, and their ultimate goal is to challenge Xu Jie and Gao Gong and replace Gao Gong and Xu Jie.So, how could the two of them bear this anger?

but……

The two of them also know that with their current status, reputation and strength, they are not enough to challenge Gao Gong and Xu Jie. Even if they want to replace Gao Gong and Xu Jie, they have to take it step by step.

The two looked at Zhang Juzheng, and curled their lips almost at the same time. In their hearts, they thought that their status in front of King Yu had already surpassed Zhang Juzheng.Zhang Juzheng was just a running dog of Xu Jie, and he was no longer worthy of their attention.So, the two of them looked at Luo Xin.

"Well, if Luo Xin can be stepped down, only Gao Gong and Xu Jie are left in front of them. Let Luo Xin be stepped down today."

The two of them pondered in their hearts how to make Luo Xin make a big fool of themselves today, making King Yu look down on Luo Xin, and then abandon Luo Xin.

At the banquet, the drinking order is undoubtedly the most direct, but then a way must be found to win.

what?

Ordinary drinking orders definitely won't work.

Comparing Jingyi with Luo Xin?

No!

Luo Xin is the number one scholar, and he wrote "Confucianism and Mencius", the two of them think that they are not as good as Luo Xin in terms of scriptures and meanings.

than poetry?
Luo Xin has written "Yanglin Poetry Collection", which is no match for Luo Xin.

Compare couplets?
They knew that Luo Xin would never be able to produce a smoke lock and pond willow.

"Compared to what?"

"By the way, it's better than riddles."

Yin Shidan's eyes lit up, but they had never heard that Luo Xin would guess riddles, so Yin Shidan looked at Luo Xin:
"Master Luo, drinking like this is meaningless, why don't we have some fun?"

Luo Xin was furious, there are so many people here, if you don't look for them, you just stare at me to see if I'm a bully.Glancing at King Yu, seeing the interested look on King Yu's face, he knew he couldn't refuse.I not only have to compare, but also win beauty, so that King Yu can trust himself more, and then rely more on himself.Once King Yu became dependent on him, he would never be able to leave him again.So, he nodded and said:
"How to add fun?"

"How about this, how about the two of us guessing riddles, and those who can't guess will be fined a drink?"

"Okay!" Luo Xin answered simply.

"Okay!" King Yu also showed interest and said, "I know that Mr. Luo is talented in writing, but I have never heard of guessing riddles."

"Slow!" Chen Yiqin said suddenly: "I think it should be more difficult. Master Yin Shidan will set the question first, and if Lord Luo guesses it, it will be Lord Luo's turn to make the question. If you can't guess it, you will be fined after a drink , Master Yin Shidan will continue to write questions."

Gao Gong, Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng all looked at Chen Yiqin with contempt, but Chen Yiqin didn't look at them at all, just stared at Luo Dao:
"Master Luo is a great talent, don't you dare?"

Luo Xin smiled and nodded faintly. He still doesn't believe it. In his past and present lives, as a human being in two lives, his mastery of riddles is not as good as that of Yin Shidan?

"How about this, let's divide it into two rounds of competition. First, I will compete with Master Yin Shidan, and of course Master Yin Shidan will come up with the questions first. After I finish the competition with Master Yin Shidan, I will compete with Master Chen again. But this time It's my turn to ask the question first, how about it?"

Can Chen Yiqin refuse?
Of course not!

At this time, it is impossible to retreat, so I immediately nodded and said: "Good."

Everyone stopped and their eyes focused on Yin Shidan.Seeing Yin Shidan stroke his beard, he said confidently:
"Lord Luo, listen carefully. When I was a child, I had four legs. When I grew up, I had two legs. When I grew up, I had three legs. What is this?"

"Shh..."

Everyone's eyes focused on Luo Xin again, and Luo Xin said indifferently: "Human!"

"Oh..." A look of surprise appeared on Yin Shidan's face.

"Why human?" King Yu still didn't understand.

Luo Xin said with a smile: "Your Highness, when you are young, you can't walk, you can only crawl, so you have four legs. When you grow up, you can walk, so you have two legs. When you grow old, you need to walk on crutches, so you have four legs. It's three legs."

"Miao Miao Miao!" Yu Wang clapped his hands and laughed.Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng looked at Yin Shidan sarcastically, and even Xu Jie looked at Yin Shidan with sarcasm.

Luo Xin looked at Yin Shidan lightly and said, "Please!"

Yin Shidan had no choice but to pick up his wine glass and drank it down, then looked at Luo Dao: "Master Luo, please come up with a question."

Luo Xin nodded and said, "One bull and one cow, guess three words."

"A bull and a cow, guess three words."

Not only Yin Shidan and Chen Yiqin frowned in thought, but Gao Gong and Xu Jie also frowned.The two of them guessed Yin Shidan's riddle just now, but Luo Xin was a little confused about it.

"A bull and a cow, guess three words."

King Yu was also talking to himself there, but Luo Xin smiled lightly, picked up the chopsticks and started to eat, and then recruited the servant girl standing beside him:
"A bowl of rice."

Yin Shidan and Chen Yiqin didn't have the energy to talk to Luo Xin, they were thinking hard, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng were also thinking there, Xu Jie frowned slightly when he saw Luo Xin's arrogance.However, there were no words.This was the time when Luo Xin attacked Yin Shidan and Chen Yiqin. Xu Jie had long thought that these two people were not pleasing to the eye, so he was happy to watch the excitement.However, he didn't think of the three words, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
