Nangong Xin was stunned and speechless for a long time.
This episode was so inappropriate. Jiang Fan not only lost the flaw of hiding his name, but also became a model of being indifferent to fame and fortune. Linjiangxian, Shuidiao Getou, and Queqiaoxian, these three poems will definitely make him a god. And Nangong Xin
, then he becomes a complete clown, a scumbag who maliciously throws dirty water.
Mr. Cao shook his head and smiled bitterly. If he had known this, he shouldn't have talked so much. It would be better to play the game directly. Now the situation is one-sided in favor of Jiang Fan. I am afraid that it will be difficult to kill Jiang Fan today. Moreover, even if he succeeds, under the protection of everyone,
Whether he can be successfully beheaded is also unknown.
As the heir to a first-class wealthy family in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Nangong Xin was blinded by jealousy and was as stupid as a pig!
Mr. Cao's eyes flashed, and he was even calculating whether Jiang Fan should be killed at this moment. After all, the real target is not this boy. You know, the identity of that boy is even more unclear now. Even judging from the performance of Xiao Rentu, it is extremely
Maybe he wasn't the person the gang leader was looking for, and what he did today was just to verify. Previously, he could have considered killing Jiang Fan to avenge the deaths of hundreds of gang members, but now the price to pay might be too high.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a deep voice ringing in his ears: "If you want to know the truth, you must kill Jiang Fan."
Mr. Cao was startled and looked around quietly. Others seemed not to have heard it. They probably only transmitted the message to him, and he didn't know who had done it. But the next moment he immediately realized that he was riding a tiger and it was impossible to be good. If Jiang Fan was not moved, there was no way to verify the opponent.
The man's guess was that there was no way out. What's more, if they hid in Paradise City, with Jiang Fan's talent, it would not be difficult even if they stayed there for a lifetime. As long as they didn't get out, there was nothing they could do. As time went on, things would become full of variables. It just so happened that this time
Meeting this idiot Nangong Xin is an excellent opportunity. We must seize the opportunity to get rid of Jiang Fan to break the deadlock and see how that person reacts.
At this time, the announcer loudly said: "Today's gambling game, we specially invite the great scholar Zeng of the Great Zhou Dynasty to witness, and the execution will be supervised by the city guard. I invite the great scholar Zeng."
"Master Zeng? This old man from the Great Zhou Dynasty is also here?"
"Hehe, don't you know? University scholar Zeng was a famous romantic man when he was young. Even at this age, he still has the same ambition as before. I heard that he had a close relationship with a famous beauty in Baihualou. Since he left the court
after
, I often come to Paradise City to have fun."
"This old man is very knowledgeable and has a high reputation. I didn't expect that he would be willing to serve as a witness this time."
"It's not surprising that Jiang...Jiang Fan is now respected as a sage of Ci. It is inevitable that Master Zeng will be interested."
Jiang Fan didn't have much interest in who would be the witness. They all seemed the same to him anyway. However, the eyes of the old man in blue robes who came on stage seemed a little strange, as if he was observing himself, so Jiang Fan couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
But when he saw the great scholar Zeng showing him a meaningful expression, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
Academician Zeng looked at both sides, brushed his beard and said: "Old Zeng Jing was invited to witness this game. According to the agreement between the two parties, the winner will be determined by the three formations. Now the two sides can pose the question. I wonder which side will go first?"
According to the agreement, in each of the first two battles, each team will have one question and a cup of tea. If the answer is wrong, the player loses. If both parties answer the question correctly, the player is tied.
Jiang Fan said indifferently: "I don't care."
Over there, Nangong Xin had calmed down under the comfort of Mr. Cao. Now he knew very well that there was no point in arguing with Jiang Fan about poetry. As long as Jiang Fan died, everything else would be easy to solve. So he picked up his mood and concentrated on dealing with the gamble.
"Since Mr. Jiang is so generous, I'll go ahead and ask the questions first. Now, I want to bet on arithmetic with Mr. Jiang! We will each give two arithmetic questions, and the one with the most correct answers will win."
Arithmetic? Everyone was very surprised when he opened his mouth. Many people had imagined many possibilities, but they never thought of this.
"This Nangong Xin is really shrewd. His arithmetic is broad and profound. Poetry and prose can only be talented at some age. Arithmetic requires accumulation over time to achieve success. Mr. Jiang is only sixteen or seventeen years old. Even if he starts practicing from literacy, he will rarely achieve great success."
"I wonder if Young Master Jiang dares to accept the challenge?" Nangong Xin said proudly, "If you don't dare, then you will lose."
Jiang Fan said impatiently: "Talk about it, can't you come up with the question quickly? I'll kill you and I still have to go back and drink with some beauties."
Until now, he has not shied away from wanting to kill Nangong Xin at all.
Nangong Xin snorted coldly: "Okay, I will let you lose clearly. Mr. Cao will set the question."
The sinister-looking old man beside him stood up slowly: "Master Jiang, please listen carefully: There are pheasants and rabbits in the same cage today. There are thirty-five heads on the top and ninety-four legs on the bottom. How big is the pheasant and rabbit?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd
Someone exclaimed: "This is too difficult. This question has been raised for decades and has stumped countless famous mathematicians. So far, the only way to solve it is by placing it on the spot. The problem is that you can't buy the chicken and buy the rabbit now. In terms of time,
Even if you don’t allow it, will Mr. Jiang be killed if you show such insincerity?”
The blue-robed old man also frowned. Nan Xin only proposed gambling and arithmetic. He never thought of raising such a difficult problem.
"Sir, what should I do?" Wei Xiaohong looked a little flustered. This question was too difficult. Could it be that Jiang Fan was going to sink in the first battle?
The old man surnamed Cao smiled and said: "Mr. Jiang, you only have time for a cup of tea, so please solve the problem as soon as possible."
Everyone looked at Jiang Fan nervously. It was almost impossible to drink a cup of tea.
Jiang Fan frowned.
Nangong Xin was immediately overjoyed when he saw his expression: "Jiang Fan, didn't your maid just say that you have a lot of knowledge and wealth? Why, it can't be calculated?"
Seeing Jiang Fan frowning, the others also felt nervous. Without thinking, Jiang Fan said slowly: "I thought there could be some advanced questions. A three-year-old can understand these questions. It's hard for this old gentleman to come out and embarrass himself at such an old age."
Show your eyes."
"You...!" Nangong Xin was furious and sneered: "Don't use your words, you have the ability to figure it out!"
Mr. Cao was not angry, "Oh? Master Jiang is so confident? So I asked him to give me the answer."
The old man in blue robe looked at Jiang Fan: "Master Jiang, don't underestimate this question. Does it require pen and paper to calculate?"
Jiang Fan waved his hand: "No, the answer is very simple, pheasant twenty-three, rabbit twelve."
He opened his mouth and everyone was stunned.
"You, this is impossible! How did you calculate so quickly?" Nangong Xin's expression changed drastically, and Mr. Cao also stayed on the spot.
Seeing his expression, everyone already knew the answer. Jiang Fan got it right.
"Oh, Mr. Jiang is indeed a genius. His poetry is just outstanding, but his attainments in arithmetic and mathematics are so profound."
Bai Xiaocui and others were also very surprised. Jiang Fan gave them too many surprises.
Looking at the appearance of Nangong Xin and others, Academician Zeng knew that the answer was good.
"Mr. Nangong, is Mr. Jiang's answer correct?"
"This...I..."
