Chapter 150: His Wisdom is Near to the Demon (Part 2)
Just kidding, how could Ye Qing give the three of them this opportunity?
What Ye Qing wants is never victory, because Ye Qing firmly believes that he will never lose. What he cares about is a complete and crushing victory!
"I will give this question to you three princes at the same time. If one of you can answer it, let's continue."
"Pavilion Master Ye underestimates the heroes of the world, even if you say so!"
Wang Chang seemed to still want to struggle, snorted coldly and said: "Don't think that you are the only smart person in the world!"
"Then what can I say? According to legend, there is such a place where barbarian people eat humans. One day, someone accidentally broke into this place and was caught by these cannibals. The chief of the cannibals gave this person except one question,
If he can answer correctly, let her go. The cannibal leader's question is...
There are two doors, one leads to the exit, and the other leads to a desperate situation. There are two people guarding the two doors respectively. One of them can only tell lies, and one of them can only tell the truth. Of course, they
Your identity will not be revealed, and you won't know who is the person who only tells the truth.
And you have a chance to ask anyone a question. After asking, which door do you have to leave to escape from this place safely?"
"Humph, what's so difficult about this?"
Wang Chang sneered and was about to open his mouth to answer, but suddenly it seemed as if someone was holding his neck. His face turned red, his lips curled up, and he didn't know how to speak.
Seeing this scene, Ye Qing was not surprised. Instead, he smiled leisurely and said: "This question is very difficult, so I will give you three hours. But if you really can't think of it, you should do it early."
Give up and avoid wasting everyone’s time.”
The three princes immediately fell into deep thought, racking their brains to think about how to find the door to the exit.
As for Wang Chang, he was not as smart as the other two, so he simply called two servants to try. However, no matter what questions he asked, he was not completely sure of finding the door to survival. Gradually, Wang Chang also fell into despair.
"This is obviously an unsolvable problem!"
Wang Chang snorted indignantly, it was obvious that he had already failed. As for the other two, they were still trying.
Of course, in addition to the three of them, the courtiers and Qin Mengxue were also thinking.
Those who have the ability to serve as officials in this court are all smart people without exception. They think they are not the smartest people in the world, but they did not expect to be slapped in the face three times today. Naturally, they are not willing to accept it, but their situation is worse than
Wang Chang wasn't much better.
"Well...an hour has passed and it's getting dark outside. If the three princes really can't think of anything, they might as well give up."
This time, even Wang Chang couldn't speak any harder. The three of them looked downcast, completely inconsistent with their previous confident posture.
This time, they lost so completely. If they hadn't humiliated themselves, they wouldn't have lost so ugly.
"I...I can't think of an answer."
King Zhi let out a long sigh, then looked at Ye Qing and said, "But, does Pavilion Master Ye know what this person said?"
"Of course I know."
Ye Qing waved, and King Zhi hurriedly walked forward. Ye Qing leaned over and whispered a few words in King Zhi's ear. King Zhi suddenly showed a look of enlightenment and murmured to himself:
"That's right! Only by saying this can we find the real door to survival! Master Ye is very resourceful, and I... admire you!
This time, Pavilion Master Ye won."
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Looking at the mysterious two people, the courtier was not happy. What did you mean by not disclosing the answer? Everyone is thinking about it here and scratching their heads. You are still here to make people interested?
What the hell is the answer!
But Ye Qing didn't say anything, so they had no way of asking questions. No one wanted to be the first fool to ask questions, so they focused on Qin Mengxue.
But then I thought about it, Ye Qing and Qin Mengxue will be husband and wife in the future. If we can't talk about anything in private, why would we say it here?
So they were desperate and could only congratulate Qin Mengxue on finding the wife of the royal family with a sad face.
As for the three princes, they stood behind the crowd in disgrace, seemingly becoming the biggest background for Ye Qing's fame. From force to talent to resourcefulness, the three of them combined were easily crushed by Ye Qing. This defeat has already been achieved by the three princes. It left a very serious psychological shadow in people's hearts, so much so that when they think about it many years later, they still feel afraid of Ye Qing.
"Now that the competition is over, the selection of the royal wife should also be decided. I am very pleased that a versatile person like Pavilion Master Ye can appear in the Qingfeng Empire!"
Not to mention how happy Qin Mengxue was, she wished she could quit the court now and get married as soon as possible!
But when I thought that there was another woman who was also going to marry Ye Qing, I felt a little unhappy.
"Of course, the three princes have come all the way, and I will not favor one over the other, Minister of the Ministry of Annunciations."
"The Minister of Rites, I would like to pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
"Without courtesy, Feng Qing, I order you to draw up a charter. The three princes have come all the way. Naturally, they cannot return empty-handed. They must feel the enthusiasm of the Qingfeng Empire. There is no need to be stingy with all kinds of rare treasures. .”
"yes."
Having said this, the three of them could not express their dissatisfaction at all. They thanked His Majesty for his kindness and left the palace.
As for the biggest winner today, King Wu, his face was almost crooked with a smile.
Not only did he marry his own girl to Ye Qing, he was also able to marry her to a beautiful woman, making the other three princes jealous and separated on the spot.
But what could they do? King Wu had already seen the situation clearly and stood on the same front as Ye Qing, laughing at the three of them making a fool of themselves.
"We lost so completely this time, how can we go back and recover?"
Similar to the situation of King Wu, when the three of them came to the Qingfeng Empire, they were all entrusted with important tasks and had to become the royal wife. However, they did not expect that it would end like this. They would not be able to do business if they did not go back, and they would also lose face. Well, after returning home, it would be impossible to greet them all the way. If the three of them were not princes, it would not be impossible for Ang Dang to be imprisoned.
"It's just that I didn't expect that Ye Qing would actually be such a monster..."
King Zhi sighed, seeming to regret what he had done.
"If I had known this, even if I gave up the fight for the royal husband, I would have made friends with him. Maybe I could marry other princesses like King Wu."
In fact, the three of them are not fools. No matter whether they are the emperor's husband or the princess's consort, they all start from the perspective of profit and have nothing to do with love or anything like that. The country behind the three of them is without exception. They all covet the Qingfeng Empire, a rising star.
