The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 435 The Three Minors Compete for the Treasure ([-])

Cao Chong didn't object to saying that he was a child prodigy, but he didn't feel very comfortable in his heart when he used deceitful tricks to deceive himself.

To use a classic saying: You can insult my personality, but you cannot insult my IQ.

Yuan Mai showed a satisfied look on his face, nodded and continued: "That's right, Cao Chong, you can hear such a profound mystery in my words, just for this, you deserve the name of a child prodigy." ! There are two tricks!"

Cao Chong's face turned dark when he heard this.

"Young Master Yuan, in your heart, how stupid am I, a child prodigy?"

Yuan Mai chuckled, raised his hand suddenly, and said: "Stop talking nonsense, Cao Chong, I'll ask today, do you dare to compare with me?"

Although Cao Chong was smart, he was only a teenager in his teens after all, and he belonged to the temperament of a teenager. Seeing Yuan Mai shouting so loudly, he naturally didn't want to be at a disadvantage.

Child prodigy, anyone can call it?This Yuan Mai doesn't know the heights of the heavens and the earth, so he needs to be instructed!
Cao Chong immediately asked: "Dare to ask Fourth Master Yuan, you said a competition, how do we compare?"

The generals on both sides could not help but sigh in their hearts when they heard the words.

Sure enough, they are still a group of children, no matter how smart they are, they are still young people, and the emperor's guard of honor is still on the side without a few words, and they start playing on their own, which is obvious because they have forgotten what they are here for!
Yuan Mai didn't care about that, he stretched out his right index finger, touched Deng Ai, and said, "Have you looked at this kid? His name is Deng Ai, he is a straightforward stutter, he never cheats, and he is the most trustworthy. Today, let him give us two questions in front of the two armies, and verify who is qualified to be the name of the child prodigy. As for the soldiers of the two sides, it can be proved. How about letting them prove that I didn't bully you?"

Hearing this, Cao Chong slowly turned his gaze to Deng Ai who was beside Yuan Mai.

Deng Ai was so frightened that he trembled all over, stammered and raised his finger and pointed to his nose and said, "I, I, I have a question?"

Yuan Mai nodded and said, "That's right, you set the question!"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and asked Cao Chong, "Cao Chong, do you dare?"

If it were someone else, they would definitely feel that Yuan Mai asked Deng Ai to write a question, and he would be suspected of cheating beforehand, and it was an obvious mischief, but Cao Chong claimed to be a child prodigy. I really didn't put it in his eyes.

A dude, a stutter, how promising can he be?Not cheating is fair and cheating is okay.

But in fact, Yuan Mai came up with this idea on the spur of the moment. He had no preparations beforehand, so he really didn't cheat.

Cao Chong thought for a while, then waved his hands and said, "Since that's the case, let this Keba brother come up with a question, astronomy and geography, poetry and songs, Cao should answer."

Deng Ai trembled when he heard the words, and said: "Really, really, really let me come?"

Yuan Mai said helplessly: "There is no way, look at these individuals on both sides, they are either warriors or reckless men, they are very skilled at killing a lot of people, just like eating beans, asking them to ask questions doesn't mean you want them Destiny... Come on! Brother, it's you! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness the birth of a new child prodigy for the great Han world, and you are considered a blessed ancestor."

Deng Ai glanced left and right, thinking the same way, the two armies were in front of the formation of some rough men, and the only person who could give these two boys questions was really only himself.

Deng Ai hesitated for a moment, then galloped out, looked at Yuan Mai first, and then said to Cao Chong in the distance: "Deng, Deng Ai, you are young and widowed, this--no, nothing will happen. Examination questions and questions. But I remember when I was a child, I used to listen to my uncle Yuan Shang talk about a few small and small interesting questions, and I took them out today-to make a fool of myself, to test and to test the school. The impoliteness, but also I hope to forgive you, forgive me."

Cao Chong was fine, but Yuan Mai's heart skipped a beat.

An interesting question that Yuan Shang talked about?Why does this sound so unreliable?

It's just that now, the person is chosen by himself in front of the two armies, and Yuan Mai has no choice but to regret it, so he can only let Deng Ai ask there.

Hearing Deng Ai cough, he stopped stuttering in a blink of an eye, and spoke as smoothly as possible.

"Please listen to the question, both of you. If there is a carriage, the eldest is the driver, the second will catch up with the carriage, and the third will follow on the ground. Whose carriage will it be?"

When this question was uttered, not only Cao Chong and Yuan Mai, but even the generals of the two sides were taken aback when they heard this.

Yuan Mai blinked, looked at Deng Ai and said, "This, is this a problem?"

As soon as Deng Ai changed his usual demeanor, he turned his head and glared at Yuan Mai, put on the airs of an examiner, and said: "Stop talking nonsense! Answer the questions quickly! Otherwise, you will be considered as disturbing the atmosphere of the examination room, and you will be considered as abstaining!"

Yuan Mai: "..."

Cao Chong stroked his chin, thought for a while, and analyzed: "The boss is the coachman, the third child is a pawn, only the second child sits on the cart, and his status is no higher than the others. This car must belong to the second child."

Yuan Mai snorted: "How can my third brother's question be so easy to guess? As the saying goes, if it is true, it is false, and false is true. I guess the carriage belongs to the third brother who is walking beside the carriage!"

Deng Ai turned his head and said, "What's the reason?"

"No reason! Mon!"

A hint of helplessness appeared on Deng Ai's face and he said: "Actually, it's normal for you two to not be able to guess. When Uncle Yuan asked me about this question, I didn't think about it. The answer: the car is if."

As soon as these words came out, the complexions of Cao Chong and Yuan Mai turned black immediately.

All the soldiers on both sides coughed vigorously, their faces flushed with embarrassment.

A child prodigy who was tested on this kind of subject?So what is a child prodigy?

After a while, Cao Chong coughed in embarrassment, and said with a smile, "So that's how it is. It's such an out-of-context topic. It's so clear! I've found the trick!"

Yuan Mai also nodded and said: "That's right, I also found the trick, Deng Ai, you have another one!"

Deng Ai glanced at the two of them carefully, and said: "Let's change to a series of questions. In Yizhou Nanman, or outside Jiaozhou, there is a giant. It is more than ten feet tall, can hold several horses, has big ears and a long nose , the shape is huge, unparalleled in the world...this thing is..."

Yuan Mai laughed happily and said, "I know, I've read about this thing in a book, it's called an elephant!"

Deng Ai nodded, and continued: "Then suppose we have an elephant in front of us now, and now we want to know its weight, how to measure it?"

Yuan Mai laughed happily, and quickly replied: "It's simple, take a large scale, put an elephant on it, and weigh it once, then you will know?"

Deng Ai sighed deeply, and looked at Yuan Mai with a strange expression, as if he was very concerned about the IQ of this good partner.

"The size of an elephant is bigger than the sum of horses. How huge is that? Where can I find such a large scale? If there is one, who can lift it up and weigh it? Fourth Young Master, please think before you speak, okay?"

Cao Chong thought for a while, then said slowly: "That's it, prepare a big boat on the water, load the elephant on the big boat, and carve the water mark on the boat, then put the stone on the boat, and take it out when the line is marked. In other words, if you weigh the stone, you can get its weight.”

After Cao Chong finished speaking, the soldiers on Cao's side shouted loudly and clapped their hands.

Deng Ai cleared his throat, and said again: "Don't rush to applaud, there is more to come! Let me ask again now, if you use the method of weighing an elephant that Mr. Cao Chong came up with, but you still can't weigh the elephant, what is this?" Why?"

Cao Chong and Yuan Mai were stunned.

Cao Chong's face was deep, he thought about it for a long time, and sighed helplessly: "There are no omissions in this method, and it should work logically? Why can't it be called? Can't think of...why?"

Deng Ai took a deep breath.

"Because the elephant won't get on the boat."

"........."

Deng Ai posed a question, Yuan Mai and Cao Chong guessed there, Xu Shu and the others were waiting in full force, but they could listen from a distance. .

What a boring person this must be, to come up with such a tacky and disgusting topic?Too bad to clean up!

Listening to what the kid who asked the question said just now, these things all came from the mouth of the lord of Hebei, Yuan Shang.

If so, how dirty and tricky is this Yuan Shangde?Such idlers can also occupy the position of the world's number one prince...

God is blind!
Just as he was thinking about it, the warrior who was sent out by Xu Shu just now led a civil servant and ran over. When the civil servant saw Xu Shu, he hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "I have seen you, General Zu Bi."

Xu Shu glanced at him lightly, and said, "Are you Fu Baolang Zubi?"

Zu Bi bowed and said, "I'm right."

Xu Shu leaned down from his horse and said in a low voice: "Zu Bi, let me ask you, have you ever carried the treasure of your duty with you?"

Zu Bi straightened his expression, and said proudly: "The general who asked this question, I live in Fu Baolang, who is in charge of the country's important weapon! I regard it as my life, so I must carry it with me! I will protect it with my life!"

Xu Shu nodded and said, "Where's the thing? Show it to me?"

Zu Bi hurriedly took out a box from his close-fitting official uniform, gently lifted the lid, and asked Xu Shu to look at the contents.

Xu Shu stared at it for a long time, nodded and praised, "As expected of the country's important weapon, it is indeed extraordinary. One can tell it is a god-given treasure at a glance. Although my land is vast, I am afraid that there is still nothing comparable to it... Zu Bi, you Can you ride a horse?"

Zu Bi was taken aback when he heard the words, then shook his head and said, "I've had wind disease in my legs since I was young, so I don't know how to ride a horse, so I can only ride a cart."

Xu Shu was overjoyed when he heard the words, and a slightly sinister smile flashed on his face, and Zu Bi trembled at the sight, not knowing what to do.

"Can't ride a horse? That's great! Zu Bi, now is an important moment for the country's survival. If His Majesty wants to reach Luoyang safely, he must make some sacrifices. From what Xu sees so far, those who can be sacrificed, It's just you and the treasure in your arms..."

Zu Bi's expression changed drastically when he heard the words: "General, what do you mean?"

Seeing that Xu Shu didn't answer him, instead he ordered to a guard beside him: "Come here, Lord Fu Baolang Zu, please get on your horse!"

"........."

At this moment, Yuan Mai and Cao Chong are still competing for the name of the child prodigy. The problem is that the questions Deng Ai said are too much... Well, the two of them answered for a long time and even one question was not correct. Answer the scriptures.

All the soldiers on both sides shook their heads, feeling very ashamed.

Although these questions are a bit disgusting, it's too embarrassing to not answer any of them!Is this IQ still a prodigy?How did you think about it!

Deng Ai's voice was still ringing in the arena, it was very strange, on such occasions, Deng Ai not only did not stutter, but spoke more and more fluently!
"The next question is about a fat man who fell off his horse and died one day. May I ask what happened to him?"

Cao Chong's face turned black, and he said through gritted teeth, "A fat man is a fat man, what else can he become?"

Yuan Mai didn't even say a word.

Deng Ai glanced at the two of them carefully, and said in a low voice: "It has become...a fat man."

Cao Chong and Yuan Mai almost vomited blood out of breath.

Cao Chong raised his finger and pointed at Deng Ai, and roared angrily: "Then so-and-so, little stutter! What do you mean? Ah? What a problem! Are you intentionally disgusting? Is there someone like you who is a school examiner? Ah? Who are you playing with?" Woolen cloth!"

But seeing Yuan Mai wave his sleeves, he said angrily: "What a problem! There is no reliable one, and you can still publicize the things that the third brother took out to fool you? Isn't this equivalent to slapping me in the face?"

Deng Ai spread his hands, and stuttered helplessly: "I, I, I—I said I couldn't do it, but you just let—let me do it! What should I do now? Who is this child prodigy?"

Yuan Mai and Cao Chong looked at me and I looked at you, not knowing what to do.

Deng Ai let out a long sigh, with a helpless expression on his face: "Would you like, why not, let me be a child prodigy in the name of a child prodigy for two days? Wait, when you can answer the questions, and then - come again and ask me what I want." No, not too late."

For the first time, Yuan Mai and Cao Chong roared at Deng Ai in tacit understanding.

"You fart! You stutter..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a clear sound of horse hooves in the distance, but he saw Fu Baolang Zubi riding on an old horse staggeringly, with a box under his arm, shouting for help, and looking towards the two. Fang ran so fast.

Yuan Mai frowned, and said doubtfully: "Who is that person? He rides a horse and even rides the crooked one. Does he know the art of riding a horse?"

Deng Ai glanced at his nose, and said, "I, I don't think-- I don't understand!"

Cao Chong has lived in Xudu for a long time, and he still knows all the Chinese and military in the court. Seeing this, he couldn't help being taken aback, and said: "Fu Baolang Zubi, what is he doing here?"

Zu Bi didn't know how to drive a horse, but at the moment when he sat down on the horse, he ran very fast. While pulling the rein vigorously, he shouted loudly at the soldiers on both sides: "Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

Seeing that he was about to reach the front of the two phalanxes, Zu Bi finally couldn't control himself. He was lifted by the fierce horse, turned over, and fell directly to the ground. His head hit the ground, his eyes rolled over, and he lost his breath.

And the box under his arm also fell into pieces as he fell off the horse. Inside the box, a huge piece of precious jade 'Gulu Gulu' rolled onto the grass in front of the two armies, attracting everyone. eyeballs!
Everyone from Yuan and Cao's parties set their gazes on the object, and all of them couldn't help but straighten their eyes!

But seeing the thing on the ground, the whole body is white crystal, shining faintly, the carving is fine, the texture is like water, there are chi and tiger buttons, there are dragon and fish buttons, there are phoenix and bird buttons, intersecting each other, looking lifelike, that thing at this moment Face up, under the reflection of the sunlight, there are eight big characters shimmering and shining, which are the eight characters of "Ordered by the sky, longevity and eternal prosperity" written in big seal script!
"hiss--!"

When Cao Chong saw the object, he couldn't help but gasped, and then looked at the unconscious Fu Baolang Zu Bi, who was thrown by the horse, and instantly understood what it was!

"The Imperial Jade Seal!"

On the other side, Deng Ai squinted at the thing, pondered for a while, and if he realized something, his face turned pale.

Only Yuan Mai looked at the unconscious Zu Bi suspiciously, and looked at the crystal clear and shining thing on the ground in the distance. Although he didn't know what it was, he could tell it was a treasure. Instructed Wen Tu: "Go, pick up that shiny thing and let me see what it is."

"No!" Wen Tu took the order, and was about to ride out immediately.

On the other side, Cao Chong was terrified all over, his face was stiff, and he yelled at Yuan Mai and Wentu: "Stand there for me!"

The two of them were drank in one voice, and they couldn't help being confused.

But Cao Chong's eyes were like torches, and his eyes, as deep as lightning, shot back and forth at the two of them.

"What... do you want to do?"

Although the child prodigy is a child prodigy, he is still young and the city is not deep. If he didn't drink his voice, Yuan Mai might not take it seriously, but Cao Chong was so anxious, how could Yuan Mai not see the thing on the ground? importance?
But there was a smirk on the corner of the boy's mouth, and he said, "What am I doing? Of course I'm fetching something!"

Cao Chong frowned, and said: "That thing is not yours, don't get your hands on it!"

Yuan Mai laughed, shook his head and said: "Joke, that thing is not mine, so is it still yours? In the wilderness, who can prove that it is yours, write your name and engrave your surname?"

Cao Chong gritted his teeth and said, "Why are you so unreasonable!"

"Who is it to talk about unreasonable points? We have no reason to talk to your surname Cao! Wentu, go and get that thing, Mr. Yu!"

"No!" When the words fell, Wen Tu had already galloped out, rushing towards Chuanguo Yuxi.

Seeing that he was about to reach the thing, there was a sudden gust of wind in his ears, Wen Tu frowned, and immediately raised his arm with the horizontal knife.

There was a loud bang, and the weapon in his hand collided with a pair of big iron halberds facing him, making an ear-splitting sound.

Dianman also rushed over at this moment, glaring at Wentu fiercely, gritted his teeth and said, "My man, you can touch this kind of national treasure? Go away!"

Wen Tu was furious, and said: "Bastard, you actually blocked this general, are you tired of living? Do you know who this general is?"

Dianman snorted and said provocatively, "Who is it?"

Wen Tu replied with a proud face: "Listen! I am Hebei's general after Wen Chou, so is Wen Tu! If you are sensible, get out! Otherwise, don't blame this general for being intolerant~!"

When Dianman heard the words, he was obviously taken aback for a moment, and then laughed sarcastically and disdainfully.

"Oh~~, who am I supposed to be? It turns out to be Wen Chou Chou! I don't know about other people in Hebei, but your name is my favorite!"
