After hearing Zhao Yanshou's words, the Khitan Lord pondered for a moment and said, "This is something I didn't expect. So what should I do?"

Zhao Yanshou said: "Chen Qiao's surrendered troops can be separated to guard the southern border, so that Wu and Shu can no longer become a future."

The Khitan master said: "I used to be in Shangdang, and the mistake was to stop and hand over the Tang soldiers to Jin.

Unexpectedly, I became enemies with me and fought against me in the north. I worked hard for several years before I defeated them.

I am lucky enough to fall into my hands and not take advantage of this time to eliminate them, will it still be a problem?"

Zhao Yanshou said: "In the past, he left the Jin soldiers in Henan and did not take their wives as hostages, so he had such troubles.

If they move their families to Heng, Ding, Yun and Shuo provinces, they will take turns to guard the southern border every year, why not be afraid of their sudden changes? This is the best strategy.”

The Khitan Lord was overjoyed and said, "Yes! All are handled according to your King of Yan's opinion!"

So Chen Qiao's surrendered troops were exempted and were repatriated to the barracks respectively. Zhao Yanshou did a good job and retained the energy of the Central Plains.

...

Jin State was destroyed like this. The news had not reached the Southern Tang Dynasty. On the night of the Shangyuan Festival, Jinling City was brightly lit and the people went to the streets to celebrate.

There were many people gathered in front of Juxian Pavilion because of the ten lanterns hanging at the door.

There is a riddle on each lantern, and a sign stands in front of the door, which says: "For free guessing riddles, the guesser can get a pack of new tea."

Guo Hao stood in the crowd and found that people were just waiting and watching, no one came forward to try, and he knew that someone had to start, so he stood up.

"Young Master, you're guessing a riddle, right?"

When Chen Lin saw that it was Guo Hao who was talking, he was stunned for a moment, but when he saw Guo Hao blinking at him, he immediately understood.

"Yes, it's a riddle, if you guess, you will get a prize!"

"Don't you want money?"

"No money!"

"No money, then I'll try it!"

So Guo Hao chose a riddle and gave the answer after a moment of contemplation.

"Congratulations to this young master, I guessed it right, this is the tea for you!"

As he said that, he handed Guo Hao a small bag of tea. Guo Hao opened it and looked at it, and asked, "What kind of tea is this? How to drink it!"

Chen Lin also got into the state and said, "It's very convenient to brew it with hot soup. You can try it when you go back."

"Oh? Is that simple? Then I'll try it back. It's a waste of time anyway, so I won't suffer any loss when I try it."

After saying that, Guo Hao looked at the crowd and left happily with the tea leaves. Seeing that the tea leaves were really given for free, everyone participated in every part.

With the beginning, it will be easy to unfold. The riddles they have produced are not difficult. You can think of them with a little culture and thinking, and they are very active for a while.

"Look, Dad, it's so lively!"

Outside the crowd, Zhou Zong took his daughter Zhou Ehuang out to enjoy the lanterns and happened to walk to Juxian Pavilion. Zhou Ehuang was only eleven years old this year, but he was already a little bit like musical dance and researched poetry.

"What are you doing there? Why are so many people gathering?"

Zhou Zong asked the follower, and the follower said, "Go back to Lord Situ, they are guessing riddles. It seems that if they guess correctly, they will give a pack of tea. Many people are guessing riddles there."

"Oh? Then let's go and have a look."

Zhou Zong was also interested when he saw his daughter, so he proposed to go and see. Several people came close to him, and the followers separated the crowd and let the two of them in. Guo Hao was drinking tea in the house. Suddenly, he saw the crowd parting and thought that a big man had finally come.

"Ehuang, look at these riddles, which one do you want to guess."

At this time, the riddles had been changed twice, and there were no more guesses. The rest were a bit difficult. Zhou Ehuang looked up and showed a look of disdain on his face.

"Father, these riddles are too simple. If I guess them all, it would be no fun!"

Zhou Zong laughed when he heard this. His daughter was indeed very smart. He always regarded it as a treasure. Others were a little unbelievable after hearing this. Chen Lin stood up after hearing this.

"Little girl, you said you guessed all these riddles of me?"

Zhou Ehuang nodded.

Chen Lin didn't believe it: "Then tell me, if you guess it right, I have another even harder one here. If you guess it all, you can get our boss's poem!"

Zhou Ehuang was interested when he heard this, and Zhou Zong was also very interested. The literary style of the south was prevalent, and poetry was still very marketable. Juxian Pavilion had such a large formation, but I wonder who was behind it.

"Oh? I don't need to guess these riddles, just take out the hardest ones!"

Zhou Ehuang was very confident. Seeing that she was just a little girl, Chen Lin felt that she was making trouble. She was about to say something, but a little Si walked out holding a huge lantern. Chen Lin saw Guo Hao nodding at him.

"Black is not, white is not, red is not, and red is not; it seems like foxes, wolfs, cats and dogs, neither domestic animals nor wild animals.

There are poems, lyrics, and in the Analects of Confucius, which are vague about the east, west, south and north. Although it is a short work, it is a wonderful article."

After hanging the lanterns, people saw a couplet. Chen Lin saw people's disgust and looked at Zhou Ehuang proudly, and found that she was also thinking.

As soon as this mystery came out, everyone present was stopped. Guo Hao felt proud and thought to himself that he could not guess even if you were a little girl or even Li Yu came.

Guo Hao was thinking, and suddenly saw Li Jingsui walking into the crowd with a little boy. Guo Hao sprayed out a mouthful of tea because the little boy was dressed in extraordinary clothes and was obviously a royal relative, and it was very likely Li Yu!

"Uncle Emperor, you see they are guessing riddles, let's go over and take a look."

"Okay, then go and have a look."

Li Jingsui and Li Congjia both like poetry and prose, so they have a common language. This time, on the Lantern Festival, the two went out to play.

Seeing Li Jingsui coming, Chen Lin hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Caomintang pays homage to His Highness the King of Qi!"

Seeing this, everyone saluted, and Li Jing then made everyone get up and smile and said, "Today is the Chinese New Year, everyone doesn't have to be restrained."

Li Jingsui saw Chen Lin, looked at the signboard of Juxian Pavilion again, and smiled and said, "It turns out it's you. The tea you gave me is good, and the princess likes it very much."

In a word, Chen Lin was overjoyed, and the others were a little surprised when they heard this. King Qi praised the good tea in Juxian Pavilion, and maybe the tea is really good.

At this time, Zhou Zong came over and said, "The lower official Zhou Zong has met His Highness the King of Qi."

Li Jingsui smiled and said, "Zhou Situ is here too, don't be polite. Today I took Cong Jia out for a trip."

The adults were greeting and politely, and Li Yu also walked to the lantern, looked at Zhou Ehuang next to him, and then looked at the lanterns on it.

"What's wrong? Can't you guess?"

"Well, this is so difficult, I can't think of it."

Li Yu looked at the riddles and thought to Chen Lin and asked, "What are you guessing about this riddle?"

When Chen Lin heard this, he suddenly realized that he was busy competing with Zhou Ehuang before and forgot to say what he was guessing, so he said, "This riddle is guessing two words, and one word is written in the upper and lower couplets!"

"Character?"

Li Yu nodded, Li Yu looked at the riddles, and the others were thinking, and even Li Jingsui was stumped.

Seeing this, Guo Hao regained his calmness. Even Emperor Qianlong could not guess this riddle. Although you are knowledgeable, you are still a little worse than Qianlong.

"Ah, I get it!"

Just then, Li Yu suddenly said something, and everyone's eyes fell on him, waiting for him to give the answer.

However, Li Yu did not say it, but instead said something in Zhou Ehuang's ear. Zhou Ehuang's eyes lit up and he blurted out: "The answer is a riddle!"

puff……

Guo Hao spit out another sip of tea. He could see clearly inside. This riddle should have been guessed by Li Yu. As a result, he actually asked Zhou Ehuang to say, "Are you going to pick up girls at such a young age? These two people are really destined to be together!"

"Right, you're talking!"

Zhou Ehuang asked Chen Lin, and Chen Lin looked back at Guo Hao, but saw Guo Hao get up and walk out.

"Congratulations to Miss Zhou, you guessed it right!"

After Guo Hao finished speaking, the two looked at each other after hearing this. They were still children at this time, and they knew something in a daze, but they didn't know it.

"Guo Hao, a sage, has met His Highness, and has met Lord Zhou."

When the King of Qi saw Guo Hao, he was not surprised and asked, "Did you open this Juxian Pavilion?"

“That’s right.”

"Then are you a businessman?"

"this……"

Seeing Guo Hao answered, Chen Lin stood up and said, "Your Highness, the Juxian Pavilion was opened by Brother Guo and I. Usually I mainly run it. Brother Guo just gave me some advice."

"So that's it. I heard Mr. Chen say that there would be a poem that would be guessed by riddles. I guess Mr. Guo. Since that's the case, I listen carefully and hope not to disappoint me!"
