Chapter 1358: Showing His Edge
Liang Renhui"s expression was extremely complicated.
Instead of making things difficult for her, he was humiliated.
Liang Renhui looked at Yuwen Longyan, who was sitting on the high seat, and said with an embarra.s.sed smile," Your Majesty, the Longyan country is indeed full of talents! This priest is truly ashamed!"
Yuwen Longyan was overjoyed.
He knew that with the att.i.tude of that girl, that kind of problem would definitely be solved.
Yuwen Longyan smiled and said," High Priest, you flatter me! However, High Priest, this problem has been solved. You should be able to reply to that old man, right?"
Liang Renhui said stiffly," Of course!"
In fact, there was no such thing as an old man. It was just an excuse to make things difficult for the Longyan Kingdom.
Everyone present knew it!
However, after Liang Renhui sat down and thought that this matter was resolved, he heard another voice that made his heart jump.
Lin Yuelan"s sharp gaze shot directly at Liang Renhui. Then, she said indifferently," High Priest, speaking of which, I also have a question that I would like to ask the High Priest and the foreign guests!"
Liang Renhui"s face was stiff. He had a bad feeling when he heard Lin Yuelan"s words, but he had to bite the bullet and ask," Then, Princess Guguo, please speak!"
Lin Yuelan threw the apple core in her hand into the trash can. Then, she clapped her hands and said loudly," It"s like this. Brother Nan and I went to the temple to offer incense and happened to b.u.mp into a monk distributing steamed buns.
"A hundred steamed buns, a hundred monks,
"The great monk gets one bun,
"The three normal monks share one bun,
"How many monks are there?"
Translated into the vernacular, it meant that there were 100 monks sharing 100 steamed buns. If three buns went to one great monk and three normal monks shared one bun, how many monks were there?
This question wasn"t very difficult in modern times.
It was similar to Liang Renhui"s question.
Just by setting up an equation, this problem could be solved easily.
However, for the ancients, arithmetic knowledge was limited and difficult to understand.
However, the people of Longyan Country had already popularized the alphabet among the royal family and n.o.bles.
Previously, when they heard Lin Yuelan"s method of solving Liang Renhui"s question, some smart people immediately drew inferences from one instance and quickly came up with an answer.
Their eyes immediately lit up with a sense of eagerness.
However, it was precisely because they were smart people that they knew that Lin Yuelan was targeting the High Priest of Aduo Chai Country.
Isn"t there a saying that goes, "Give him a taste of his own medicine!"?
Therefore, they were secretly enjoying the show.
While Liang Renhui was frowning and deep in thought, so were the guests from other countries.
After an unknown period of time, Lin Yuelan asked indifferently," High Priest, have you thought of a solution?"
Seeing Lin Yuelan"s arrogant tone, Liang Renhui"s face immediately turned ashen.
He said," Princess Guguo, the priest still doesn"t know how to solve this question! Can you give me a little more time to think about it?"
As soon as Liang Renhui finished speaking, Xiao Heshui laughed loudly again and said," High Priest, you"re really interesting. Just now, when you came up with that question, you were aggressive. Now that it"s your turn, you actually have the face to ask them to give you some time to think about it. Are you taking advantage of being the foreign guests?"
His laughter and words were obviously filled with mockery and ridicule.
As soon as his words fell, many people laughed loudly. Some of these laughter were purely for laughter, while others were indeed mocking him.
However, to Liang Renhui, no matter what kind of laughter it was, it was all mockery.
Liang Renhui"s expression turned even uglier. He wanted to refute Xiao Heshui, but he couldn"t think of anything.
Because what Xiao Heshui said was the truth.
Previously, everyone had been happy to see Longyan Country"s misfortune, but it didn"t take long for it to become a joke.
Seeing that the High Priest was being mocked, the First Prince of Ado Chai Country, Henala Azhe, immediately retorted angrily," Our Ado Chai Country worships strength. We respect martial arts and do not care about such schemes. So, princess, isn"t it a little too much for you to use the culture of your Longyan Kingdom to ask our country"s high priest to solve it?"
