The emperor laughed loudly and said: "What a Lin San, who overwhelmed the odd daughter of Gao Li and convinced the Turkic national teacher. He is really knowledgeable and insightful. Xu Aiqing, you recommended a great talent for me, Dahua."
A smile appeared on Xu Wei's face. Having won the emperor's commendation, Lin San's success is just around the corner, even though the emperor had already praised him yesterday. Su Mubai's face turned pale when he heard it, and his face became more and more gloomy. King Cheng glanced at him, smiled and said nothing.
More than half of the four questions were completed. Gao Li answered the first question correctly, Turkic won the second question, and Lin Wanrong passed both questions. As long as he answered one more question correctly, he would be firmly invincible. Both Li Chenger and Ashler were a little nervous. They didn't expect that a group of counselors from both sides could not match this little Lin Sanyi.
The little maid Cuiyun took the third envelope and opened it, glanced at it, and said loudly: "The third question is, please turn around—"
Everyone turned around in puzzlement, and suddenly heard the sound of hooves in the distance, shaking the ground slightly. Dozens of knights, holding whips in their hands, urged hundreds of horses to rush forward. These hundred horses are all white haired and hoofed, as if poured out of the same mold, it is impossible to tell who is the boss and who is the second.
The strange thing didn't stop there. After the hundred white horses, several knights came driving a group of foals. This group of foals is also all in pure white, like a piece of goose feather and heavy snow, which makes people's spirits shake. Two groups of white horses arrived in front of the crowd, and the horses neighed one after another, which was truly spectacular.
Cuiyun smiled and said, "Now, there are one hundred white mares and one hundred white foals. They are the mother-child relationship. The third question posed by Princess Nishang, please help the one hundred mares in the field to find them." colt."
Lin Wanrong has already answered two questions in a row, and has already learned about the trickery and weirdness of this Nishang princess. The other ladies recruited relatives either by taking a test of literature or martial arts, but she, as a royal princess, liked these non-civilian and non-martial things, which was very strange. I don't know how she came up with this game of helping Ma Ju find her mother. Isn't this a deliberate embarrassment
Turks have been nomads on the grasslands for generations, and they have a natural sense of understanding of horses. Seeing Princess Nishang asked this question, they all beamed with joy. When it comes to horse nature, who else is more familiar with them? Princess Nishang is clearly helping them secretly.
While whispering to each other, Lu Dongzan and Asile pointed at the surrounding Turkic knights, as if they were assigning tasks. In the Goryeo formation, Lady Xu discussed with Li Cheng, her brows were slightly frowned, as if she hadn't figured out a solution yet.
After Lu Dongzan and Asile discussed it properly, Xi stood up first and said loudly: "Miss, I, Turk, have a way to distinguish."
Li Chenger was surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly said a few words to Lady Xu, Xu Changjin looked embarrassed, and shook his head slightly, Li Chenger snorted with an ugly expression.
Lin Wanrong saw their expressions in his eyes and couldn't help smiling. It was really hard for the little prince of Koryo to find an advantage other than relying on women for advice.
Cuiyun nodded and said, "Turkic envoy, please tell me."
Lu Dongzan said proudly: "I was born in the grasslands for generations and grew up on the back of a horse. I have a unique way of distinguishing horses. There are hundreds of mares and hundreds of foals. Although there are many of them, my Turkic knight There are also dozens of people, all of whom are proficient in horse tendering, so it is not difficult for one person to find mares for ten foals. Let's use this method to try."
Lin Wanrong understood that they were going to pair these foals and mares with brute force through their own horse matching skills. This is indeed a way, although it is a bit stupid.
While talking, dozens of Turkic knights galloped away. When they reached a hundred horses, they each selected ten horses. It happens to be in charge of ten horses. The Turks are worthy of being a nation on horseback. Their control and mastery of horses and their vision of horses are beyond the reach of Dahua soldiers.
"Drive—" The ten Turkic knights each drove their foals and rushed towards the herd of mares. They have to rely on their own vision and experience to identify the coat color, color, and shape. Among hundreds of mares, they must find a pairing mother for these foals.
Li Tai looked at the Turkic knight with deep worry, sighed for a long time and said: "These Turkic people are really talented. When it comes to horsemanship, no one can rival them."
He is the number one general in Dahua, and these words carry a lot of weight. The emperor said in a deep voice, "Li Aiqing, in your opinion, is it sure that we, Dahua, will win this time when we send troops to conquer the Hu people?"
Li Tai nodded and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I have a Battalion, a Cavalry Battalion, and a Shenji Battalion in Dahua. If the three battalions cooperate properly, even if the barbarians are invincible in the world at once, the veterans will be able to defeat them."
The emperor felt relieved, and said with a smile on his face: "Then tell me again, can all the foals and mares be distinguished according to the method of the Turkic people? I don't think it may be the case at all."
"Your majesty is wise!" Li Tai said with a smile, "Turkic people rely on their eyesight to do things, which is a bit unreliable. Experience and eyesight are important, but there are so many horses, it is not easy for them to tell them apart. It’s not bad to be able to tell 80% of the difference.”
Below the city, the Koryo mission became more and more anxious when they saw the Huren's self-confidence. If the Turks win this match, then the Koryo will naturally be eliminated. It's just that they are not good at looking after horses, and they couldn't come up with a smarter idea for a while, so everyone was in a hurry, and even Xu Gongnu's face was full of worry.
"My lord!" A soft voice sounded beside Lin Wanrong.
Lin Wanrong was watching the Turkic people taming horses for fun. Hearing this, he turned his head and saw Xu Changjin standing beside him with wide eyes and a pretty face.
"Oh, Ms. Chang Jin, are you looking for me?" Lin Wanrong smiled.
"My lord, are you not in a hurry?" Lady Xu asked softly, the anxiety in her eyes was evident.
"Urgent? What's the use of being anxious?" Lin Wanrong shook his head and said, "The Turkic people believe in their own vision, so let them go. I only believe in the facts."
According to Master Lin, he seems to think that the Turkic people will not be so smooth. Xu Changjin's eyes lit up immediately and he said, "Your Excellency, you mean that the Turkic people are not 100% sure?"
Lin Wanrong glanced at her with a smile, Xu Changjin hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to meet his gaze.
"Miss Xu, do you want to find out about the Turkic people when you come to me, or do you want to spy on me?" Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "You are too honest, and you are not good at hiding your kind eyes."
Lady Xu lowered her head and blushed and said, "My lord, I'm really sorry. I came here to hear your opinion on the Turkic people on the one hand, and to know if you have figured out a way. A marriage proposal for the prince. For me, Goryeo, it’s not just a simple marriage, but also a matter of my Goryeo’s life and death.
Lin Wanrong's heart moved, and Xu Changjin's meaning was obvious when he said this. Someone must have persecuted them. If the Huren married Dahua, it would definitely not be a good thing for Goryeo. But their national strength is weak and they cannot fight against the barbarians. Looking at Goryeo's performance, it seems that they have been hesitating all the time, which also proves this point from the side. Of course, if Li Cheng could marry the princess back, it would be equivalent to hugging Dahua's thigh, and the benefits would be extraordinary.
"Did the barbarians force you? Or is it Dongying?" Lin Wanrong tentatively asked softly, his eyes fixed on the expression of Lady Xu.
"I'm sorry to trouble you." Lady Xu's complexion changed, she bowed deeply, and hastily turned her head away.
Lin Wanrong shook his head helplessly. This girl is really not a qualified spy. "Da Changjin, the Turkic people can tell the difference at most 80%." Master Lin said loudly.
"My lord, what are you talking about?" Xu Changjin stopped in his tracks, turned to look at him and said, "Are you so sure?"
"It's not about being sure, it's about science." Lin Wanrong said with a smile: "Turkic people choose horses according to experience. On the surface, they are very safe, but they cannot escape the theorem of statistics. A Turkic knight has ten foals. Once, he wanted to pick one out of a hundred mares. To ensure that he chose the right one, he had to compare all the one hundred mares. A hundred times. Assuming he picks right the first time, he will have to pick ninety-nine times for the second foal, and so on, ninety-eight times for the third foal, and ninety times for the fourth foal. Seven times, until the tenth horse, he has to compare it ninety-one times. Oh, isn't this truth too complicated, Jang Geum, do you understand?"
Xu Changjin pondered for a while, nodded and said, "My lord, I know a little bit. You are right. He has to compare every horse at least ninety times."
"That's right." Lin Wanrong nodded and said: "Such frequent comparisons are boring. Turkic people are also human beings. Don't they make mistakes? As long as any one of them makes a small mistake, they will find other horses. Kui admits his mistakes, and then leads to a series of mistakes, and the mistakes are cumulative. Ten people make mistakes at the same time, be good, it will be terrible."
Xu Changjin seemed to understand this series of analysis, but Mr. Lin looked unserious on the surface, but he was actually smarter than anyone else in his heart. She nodded and said seriously: "My lord, thank you, I also believe that Turks are not ten I'm sure of it. It's you, my lord—" She paused, before she finished speaking, she bowed to Lin Wanrong and hurried back to the Korean Mission.
Over there, Lu Dongzan led dozens of Turkic knights and had already begun to select mares. The Turkic people's eyes were indeed vicious, and five pairs of mother and child were reunited in a blink of an eye. Lin Wanrong sneered in his heart. You can tell at a glance, of course it's simple, and it's when you scratch your head later.
Li Zai, the little prince of Goryeo, glanced at Lin Wanrong, gave a few instructions to Han Shanggong, and then hurried over: "Master Lin, you are being polite."
Lady Xu has just left, what is he doing here again? Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Hello, prince, why don't you watch horse training, what do you come to me for?"
Li Zai sighed: "My lord, I don't have the mood to look at the horse. To tell you the truth, I came here under the order of my father and king. I must marry Princess Nishang and return to the country. But the current situation is the most important thing for me in Korea. It's not good, my lord—" He glanced at Lin Wanrong, hesitant to speak.
Come on, come on, this kid is going to play tricks, Lin Wanrong frowned on purpose: "The King of Korea has great expectations for the little prince, and the little prince should work hard. Right now, Princess Nishang is not married yet, and you still have a lot of money." Opportunity."
Li Chengcheng smiled wryly and said: "I, Koryo, has a weak country and few talents. It is difficult to compare with Dahua talents and Turkic raptors. It is really hard to compare. Today's princess's marriage meeting, we can barely answer one question, but for the latter, we can barely answer. I'm not sure. And Princess Nishang is very important to me, Goryeo. Therefore, I would like to ask you to help me—”
"Help? The little prince was joking." The corners of Master Lin's mouth turned up, with a meaningful smile: "You have a noble status, how can I help?"
"Help, help." Li Cheng hurriedly said: "Before bearing the future of your country, I heard that Mr. Lin is the first bachelor of Dahua, and his reputation is far and wide. I have been with you these few days, and I feel that you With broad knowledge and extraordinary talents, he can be regarded as the most promising young official in Dahua."
Waterfall Khan, when did Lao Tzu become the first bachelor of Dahua, Lao Xu still has to find me desperately? Besides, when you were in Korea, I was still in Jinling, where did you hear my name? This Goryeo stick's way of flattering is too excessive, it's not as touching as Dae Jang Geum smiling at me.
"As long as you, my lord, tell Bearer secretly the method of answering the next question. Bearer is willing to give a thousand gold as a gift, plus a thousand pieces of silk and satin and a hundred agates, and deliver them to your house in person." After going around and around, Li Bearer finally opened the The price, a thousand taels of gold, a thousand pieces of silk, and a hundred pieces of agate, is almost comparable to the betrothal gift given to Princess Nishang. In order to marry the princess, Goryeo really spared no expense.
You want to get rid of me for such a small thing, you treat me as a local rich man? Mr. Lin, I am selling brains and ideas, which are priceless. Lord Lin pretended to ponder and said, "Well, little prince, you think highly of me. To tell you the truth, I'm just a small official with the size of a sesame seed and mung bean, and my talents and knowledge are even shallower than that of Mount King Kong. You are just giving me away. I can't take ten thousand taels of gold. Lady Xu has already taught me last time, and the emperor is so kind to me, how can I accept your things again. No, no! Besides, my family is for business , don’t worry about money.”
Your family is running a shitty business, do you think I didn't find out clearly? You are just a small family member of the Xiao family, a wealthy family in Jinling. You deceived others and did all sorts of evil. It was just because of your luck that you somehow fell in love with the emperor, so you put on human skin. The Xiao family earns money, and it has something to do with you. You just drink some soup, thanks to your plausible words. Li Chengsheng snorted secretly, he admired this man's face, besides admiration.
"My lord, I see that you and Lady Xu had a very happy conversation, and they seem to hit it off very well." Li Chengtian smiled slightly, and changed the topic, instead of talking about gold, silver and jewels, but Xu Changjin somehow got involved.
Lin Wanrong was taken aback for a moment, then nodded generously and said, "Yes, yes, I've heard of Jang Geum's name a long time ago, and we hit it off right away."
Li Zai nodded and said: "Miss Xu is a strange woman in Korea. She is sincere, kind, full of love, has superb medical skills, is also proficient in encyclopedias, and has outstanding resourcefulness. She not only won the support of the people, but also won the love of my father, king, and queen mother." At a young age, she became the chief medical lady in the palace, and she has a very high reputation among the people and the palace."
What exactly did this kid want to say? Lin Wanrong was even more confused when he saw that Li Chengyi was focusing on bringing the topic to Lady Xu.
"My lord," Li Zaicheng's eyes flashed, "You have a deep friendship with Lady Xu. If you like it, I will tell my father to send Xu Changjin to you. What do you think?"
Puff puff puff, Mr. Lin can hear the sound of his heart beating rapidly, and give Dae Jang Geum to me? Are you right? The legendary woman of the peninsula, the idol of the Korean people, just give it to me, and give me silver needles to massage the soles of my feet every day? What kind of enjoyment is this? lure! Definitely an irresistible temptation! This Lee Carrier really spent a lot of money.
Lin Wanrong looked up at Lady Xu in the distance, and saw that she and Han Shanggong were discussing something, her frowning brows, snowy skin, delicate cheeks, seductive cherry lips, full of charm and heart-pounding.
It's in vain that you are still working hard there, but you don't know that your master has sold you, it's sad. Lin Wanrong shook his head slowly, if it wasn't for the fact that this trip was related to Qingxuan, Master Lin might really have to think carefully about Li Bearer's proposal that he couldn't refuse.
"Little prince, I'm afraid this won't work. Lady Xu and I are friends, and there is no selfishness between men and women. I think you have misunderstood." Lin Wanrong said lightly, with an indescribable disgust for Li Cheng: "As for the matter of recruiting relatives , I am from Dahua, and Princess Nishang is my Dahua's angel, I can't do anything to hurt Dahua, please go back."
Li Zai was in a daze for a while. Why did Master Lin's face change suddenly, from a corrupt and bribe-taking traitor to a deep-hearted patriot? He shook his head helplessly and left angrily.
Xu Changjin, I helped you the first time, but I can't help you the second time. I hope your master won't send you to Dongying next time, then you will be in a terrible situation. Lin Wanrong sighed deeply, what about the strange woman, the strange woman? It's not like they can't escape the tragic fate. [Paradise Kiss Hand Slap]
The Turks moved swiftly. While the two were talking, they had already prepared more than forty pairs of horses. Most of the people watching the battle in the square were Dahua people. Seeing the Turks skillfully match and control horses, everyone was moved with emotion. No wonder the Hu people are so tough, no one can compare with them based on their ability on horseback.
After the pairing, Lin Wanrong's statistical theory came to the fore. One hundred identical white horses, one hundred identical foals, it is almost impossible to distinguish the bloodlines with human eyes. As long as one of them is not sure about a horse. The impact was a series of effects. When more than sixty horses were allocated, the movements of the Turkic knight obviously slowed down, and the expressions of Lu Dongzan and Ashile gradually became tense. The rest are difficult to study and judge. It often takes ten people to discuss and discuss a horse before it can be paired.
As expected, the Turks were in trouble, Xu Changjin sighed slightly, and secretly glanced at Lin Wanrong, only to see the young Master Lin staring at hundreds of white horses, dazed, not knowing what he was thinking about .
"Brother Lu!" Lu Dongzan was drenched in sweat when he saw Lin Wanrong walking up: "Is it getting more difficult later on?"
As a Turkic national teacher, Lu Dongzan was naturally broad-minded. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Yes, it's hard to distinguish the horse after it reaches the back, so it will take more time."
Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "You don't need to bother so much, the younger brother came up with a simple solution. This lady-in-waiting sister, can I try it?"
Lu Dongzan glanced at Lin Wanrong in surprise. He had seen Master Lin win two consecutive battles with his own eyes. If he broke this round again, Master Lin would really be a genius.
The little palace maid Cuiyun said: "Of course. Sir Lu Dongzan, you have already allocated sixty-five pairs, and it took an hour. If this Lord Lin allocates more than you within an hour, then he is counted How do you feel about winning?"
Lu Dongzan nodded and said, "This method is advisable. Master Lin, it's up to you."
With a wave of Cuiyun's hand, the more than 60 mares and foals that were successfully paired were pulled down together, and then more than 60 identical white horses and foals were sent and mixed in. The snow-white horse and the colt neighed together, like spring thunder, shaking the eardrums.
Lin Wanrong entered the herd of horses, slowly stroked the soft mane of a foal, and asked the knight who was feeding him: "Brother, these purebred white horses must be very hard to feed."
The knight nodded and said: "These are purebred Dawan horses. They are huge and run fast. They must be fed very carefully. They must be fed with good feed every hour. One horse must be fed with one trough, and two horses must not be in the same trough. The nearly 200 horses have been waiting for almost two hours now, and the foals are howling with hunger."
As I expected, Lin Wanrong smiled slightly, walked up to the crowd, and said loudly: "Brothers, bring up the feed first, and feed these mother horses a good meal."
The knight who sent the horses was the groom who fed the white horses. Hearing what Master Lin said, he hit the spot, and immediately sent more than a hundred mangers and good feed, and the mare immediately lowered its head and began to chew.
The foal was already hungry, and when it saw some feed coming up but not being able to eat it, it became a little noisy, kicking its hooves, and bouncing into a ball.
Lin Wanrong nodded and said, "Big brothers, please put a bit on the little pony."
The mouth chew is a cage made of bamboo, which is placed on the horse's mouth and is specially used to prevent mules and horses from stealing food. It was the first time everyone had heard of putting a bit on this purebred white horse of Dawan, but since Master Lin said it, the knights followed suit.
Their mouths were locked, and the little pony was even more irritable, and some of them ran around in disobedience. Everyone watched Lin Wanrong's every move curiously, not understanding what he was going to do.
"Brothers, you must follow what I say next, but don't be reluctant to do it." Lin Wanrong said solemnly: "Hold the mare and let them stop there. At the same time, take the whip in your hand , beat these ponies hard, and drive them away as far as possible."
"This—" The knights were taken aback for a moment. These horses were cultivated and even delivered by themselves, so they were naturally reluctant to do so.
Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "If you don't want to fight for real, then let's pretend a few times, but it must be realistic, and the little pony must be scared, understand?"
"Understood!" Several knights swung their horsewhips fiercely, waving them in the air a few times, and there was a clatter of thunderbolts. The restless foals were frightened immediately, neighing and running away.
The knights roared and frightened behind, and drove the foals away. The mares, who had been eating peacefully, immediately became restless. Looking at the foals galloping away, they neighed sadly, and their eyes were even brighter. is bleak.
"Understood, I understand." Li Tai on the tower looked happy and shouted loudly.
The emperor wondered: "Li Aiqing, what do you understand?"
"Your Majesty, this Lin San is a strange man, very resourceful, very resourceful!" Li Tai said excitedly.
At the same time, Lu Dongzan's face also changed. Looking at the smiling and silent Lin San, he was stunned for a while, and then murmured: "Dahua has this one person, which is enough to equal a hundred thousand lions!" .”
Ashile said in surprise: "Can it be worth a hundred thousand lions? You are talking about Lin San? Lu Dongzan, how is this possible? He is greedy for money and lustful, how can he be so powerful?"
Lu Dongzan smiled wryly and said: "I don't want to believe it either. I hope that the two countries will meet each other in battle in the future, and I will not meet him on the battlefield."
"I'm back, I'm back!" The crowd exclaimed, and saw hundreds of horses running wildly in the distance, followed by knights chasing after them. The foal was frightened and ran straight towards the herd of mares. Hundreds of mares wailed and neighed loudly.
Hundreds of foals rushed into the herd of mares, and quickly and spontaneously found a mare, screaming continuously, the panic in their eyes had not faded away, eager to be comforted. A hundred mares and a hundred foals were matched quickly.
The mare desperately pressed her mouth against the bit on the foal's mouth, trying to untie them. Lin Wanrong sighed deeply: "Mother and child are by nature, who can separate them? Are they deceiving each other? Humans are not as good as horses. Brothers, will you be separated?" Untie that bit."
The knights untied the horses, and at the same time opened the horse's hoof. It turned out that the number of the horse was written on the hoof. One mother and one son were exactly the same.
Xu Changjin stared blankly. Hearing Lin Wanrong's words, he didn't know what it was like. He opened his mouth slightly and murmured: "You are not as good as a horse! My lord, you are so right. What kind of person are you?" people?"
The crowd cheered thunderously. This young Lord Lin broke through three questions in a blink of an eye. He not only defeated Goryeo, but also defeated the mighty barbarians. It is really unbelievable. Dahua has such a national scholar, so why worry about the injustice of the Hu captives
"Lin San, Lin San! What do you call me?" the emperor murmured, his eyes flashing sharply, both emotional and embarrassing!
