Chapter 858 Challenge
Feng Bao walked in and bowed and said, "Your Highness."
"Set the mat!"
Nowadays, King Yu is no longer the poor man he used to be. Since he had shares in the carriage store, he has become much richer, more arrogant 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 drinks came up like flowing water. Everyone started to eat at the greeting of King Yu, 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 went by, the two men became a little talkative and boasted, and from time to time they could see Gao Gong, Xu Jie, Zhang Juzheng and Luo Xin disdainful eyes.
These two people were angry. It would be fine if they were despised by Gao Gong and Xu Jie in front of King Yu. After all, Xu Jie and Gao Gong were there, and they were the chief masters of the cabinet. But you, Zhang Juzheng, are just Xu Jie's lackeys, what qualifications do you have to despise us? You Luo Xin is just a hairy child with no hair. What qualifications do you have to despise us?
Moreover, these two people were determined to show off in front of King Yu and win status in front of King Yu. The two of them had a great heart, and their ultimate goal was to challenge Xu Jie and Gao Gong to replace Gao Gong and Xu Jie. So, how could they two bear this anger?
but……
The two of them also knew that with their current status, reputation and strength, they were not enough to challenge Gao Gong and Xu Jie. Even if they wanted to replace Gao Gong and Xu Jie, they would have to do it step by step.
The two of them looked at Zhang Juzheng and curled their lips almost at the same time. They thought in their hearts that their status in front of King Yu had surpassed Zhang Juzheng. Zhang Juzheng was just a lackey of Xu Jie and was no longer worthy of their attention. So, the two of them looked at Luo Xin.
"Well, if Luo Xin can be stepped on, they will only be Gao Gong and Xu Jie left in front of them. I will step on Luo Xin today."
The two of them were thinking in their hearts how to make Luo Xin look ugly today, so that King Yu would look down on Luo Xin and then abandon Luo Xin.
At the banquet, it is undoubtedly the most direct way to drink, but then you must find a way to win.
What?
Ordinary alcoholics are definitely not good.
What is the meaning of the Rushin Bi Sutra?
no!
Luo Xin was the top scholar and wrote "The Combination of Confucius and Mencius". The two of them thought that they were not as good as Luo Xin in terms of meaning. If they compared the meaning of the scriptures with Luo Xin, if they could not cross the scriptures, they would show their ugly appearance.
Compare poetry?
Luo Xin has written "Yanglin Poetry Collection", but he is not as good as Luo Xin.
Compare couplets?
They knew that Luo Xin could not compare to the willows that locked the pond with smoke.
"What to compare?"
"By the way, compare to riddles."
Yin Shidan's eyes lit up. They had never heard Luo Xin guessing riddles, so Yin Shidan looked at Luo Xin and said:
"Mr. Luo, it's not interesting to drink like this. Why don't we have some fun?"
Luo Xin was so angry that there were so many people here, you didn't look for them, but stared at me, and I couldn't bully me. He glanced at King Yu, and when he saw King Yu's appearance of interest, he knew that he could not refuse. Not only did he compare, but he also wanted to win beauty, so that King Yu could trust him more and then rely more on himself. Once King Yu became dependent on him, he could no longer live without himself. So he nodded and said:
“How to add fun?”
"It's better to do this. We two are more likely to guess the riddle and can't guess a drink, how about it?"
"Okay!" Luo Xin answered simply.
"Okay!" King Yu also showed his interest and said, "Gu knew that Master Luo was very talented, but he had never heard of guessing riddles."
"Slow!" Chen Yiqin suddenly said, "I think it should be a little more difficult. Lord Yin Shidan will give the question first. If Lord Luo guesses it, it will be Lord Luo's turn to give the question. If you can't guess it, after a drink, Lord Yin Shidan will give the question."
Gao Gong, Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng both looked at Chen Yiqin with contempt, but Chen Yiqin didn't look at them at all, just stared at Luo Xin and said:
"Master Luo, how dare you, do you?"
Luo Xin smiled and nodded lightly. He still didn't believe it. His past and present life, his two lives, were not as good as the riddles as Yin Shidan?
"It's better to do this. We will divide it into two rounds of competition. First, Lord Yin Shidan and I will give the questions first. After Lord Yin Shidan and I will give the questions, I will give the questions one round with Lord Chen. But this time it's my turn to give the questions first, how about it?"
Can Chen Yiqin refuse to agree?
Of course not!
At this time, we could not retreat at all, so we nodded immediately and said, "Good."
Everyone stopped and their eyes were gathered on Yin Shidan. Then they saw Yin Shidan stroke his beard and said confidently:
"Listen to me, Lord Luo, I had four legs when I was a child, two legs when I grew up, and three legs when I was old. What is this?"
"Swish..."
Everyone's eyes were gathered on Luo Xin again, and Luo Xin said lightly: "People!"
"Oh..." Yin Shidan's face showed a look of surprise.
"Why is it human?" King Yu didn't react.
Luo Xin smiled and said, "Your Highness, when you were a child, you can only climb, so you have four legs. When you grow up, you can walk, so you have two legs. When you are old, you have to walk with crutches, which means you have three legs."
"Miaomiao!" King Yu smiled. 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 the wine glass and drink it all, then looked at Luo Xin and said, "Please ask Lord Luo to give the question."
Luo Xin nodded and said, "A bull and a cow, guess three words."
"A bull and a cow, guess three words."
Not only Yin Shidan and Chen Yiqin frowned, but also Gao Gong and Xu Jie, the two bigwigs, also frowned. They guessed the puzzle of Yin Shidan just now, but Luo Xin was a little confused.
"A bull and a cow, guess three words."
King Yu was also talking to himself, but Luo Xin smiled faintly, picked up the chopsticks and started eating vegetables, and then summoned to the maid standing next to him and said:
"Come on a bowl of rice."
Yin Shidan and Chen Yiqin had no energy to deal with Luo Xin. They were thinking hard, and Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng were also thinking there. Xu Jie frowned slightly when he saw Luo Xin's arrogance. However, he had no words. This was when Luo Xin attacked Yin Shidan and Chen Yiqin. Xu Jie had long disliked these two people, so he was happy to watch the fun. However, he did not think of which three words it was, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
