Nine princesses

Chapter 142: Trials (3)
"This first game is obviously the riddle of this painting. In my opinion, it is better to get paper and ink. We each write the answer on the paper and reveal it together. What do you think?" Hua Qingluan agreed Afterwards, Ling Qinghan's expression was obviously a little excited, and the arrogance between his brows became more and more fierce.

Naturally, everyone had no objection, and ordered the attendants to fetch paper and ink, and each wrote down the answers.

"Let's reveal it!" Ling Qinghan was the first to unfold the rice paper in front of him, and there were a few big characters flying like dragons and phoenixes dripping with ink, "This place is thirty miles to the west."

Afterwards, everyone revealed their cups one after another, most of them had the same answer.

Only Wei Yujian looked at his blank rice paper with some embarrassment, and comforted himself secretly in his heart. Fortunately, he was better than his previous patience.As long as he gets the approval of Tianjimen and becomes the lord of the world, what else can he not do?At that time, let alone a purse, the whole Hua Qingluan will be his!
This kind of word play, of course, couldn't trouble Chu Yunzhi.However, he was a little surprised to see the crisp "don't know" on Hua Qingluan's rice paper.Originally thought that a woman like her who likes to show off and is hypocritical and cunning, even if she couldn't guess it, she would use excuses to cover it up.Or did she have other plans?

Qin Hexuan said with a smile: "Miss Qingluan is so free and easy!"

"To be honest, I'm confused by this painting, and I can't figure it out at all." Hua Qingluan shrugged gracefully. This kind of word play must be related to allusions and ancient books. As a soul that travels through time, she knows there are ghosts. up! "Besides, I guess you guys won't help me cheat, so it's better to be honest." He said, sighed, and said, "Now I just hope that the rest of the puzzles won't be full of puzzles like this!"

Chu Jiezhi smiled: "I really hope that the rest of the puzzles are all puzzles like this, so that Miss Qingluan won't get the upper hand again!"

This statement immediately caused everyone to burst into laughter.

"I don't think this will work!" Qin Hexuan said thoughtfully, "In this way, there may be several people who win in the end, but we don't care. We are afraid that Miss Qingluan's purse is not enough to give away. In the next game, it is better for us Come and answer, whoever solves the riddle first wins."

Hua Qingluan was the first to raise his hand in favor, and everyone naturally had no objection.

The distance of thirty miles, whether it is far or near, Wei Yuyan is the most familiar with the capital of Wei State. After silently calculating the destination, everyone went out, rode the horses prepared in advance, and galloped towards the west gate And go, until the mountain forest in the west, the horses can't enter, then dismount and enter together.

Although it was agreed to act together, everyone still divided into twos and threes, each as a companion, only secretly paying attention to the words and deeds of others.

Ling Qinghan wanted to talk to Hua Qingluan, but when he saw Hua Qingluan walked towards Xiao Limo as soon as he dismounted from his horse, he paused, and an order surged in his heart, he turned his head coldly, and walked forward by himself, the attendant hurriedly keep up.

Under everyone's envious and jealous eyes, Xiao Limo looked at Hua Qingluan who was walking towards him, with the corners of his mouth slightly curved, feeling a burst of joy in his heart.It seemed that his strategy of boiling frogs in warm water was still effective, Qingluan was used to being with him, otherwise he wouldn't have walked towards him as soon as he got off his horse.

Hua Qingluan didn't think too much about it, and asked curiously: "What's the answer to the mystery of that painting?"

"Want to know?" Xiao Limo frowned, hooked his fingers enough, and said softly, "Let me kiss you, and I'll tell you!"

Hua Qingluan gave him a blank look.

"Otherwise, you can just give me a kiss!" Xiao Limo gave her right cheek.

Hua Qingluan glanced at him angrily, his eyes turned cold.

"Well, okay, I'll take a step back. If you tell me to live in Limo, I'll tell you." Xiao Limo continued to bargain, and seeing Hua Qingluan's face getting worse and worse, he smiled and explained, "Baihu, Baihu Hu Ye, it is said in "Ancient Discourse on Great Rituals" that jade is used as the six vessels, the four directions of heaven and earth are respected, the sky is honored with Cangbi, the earth is honored with yellow cong, the east is honored with Qinggui, the south is honored with red zhang, the west is honored with white hu, and the xuan is honored. The north of Huangli. Therefore, Baihu refers to the west. The house can also be called a house, and a house is thirty miles away. If you connect it, this place is thirty miles to the west.”

"So that's how it is." Hua Qingluan suddenly realized that in ancient times, only monarchs should be able to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, and it happened to be closely related to the theme of the trial of the lord of the world. No wonder Chu Jiezhi and others could guess the answer. "You have done a full set of acting, even such small details, no wonder you can fool these people."

Xiao Limo raised his eyebrows: "How do you know it's me?"

"The series of changes in the Kingdom of Wei are the disciples of Tianjimen who are choosing the ruler of the world. Who first spread the word? And who told me that he is suspecting the mastermind behind these series of incidents, and is going to try to find out? If I don't know it's you, I'm too stupid." Hua Qingluan glanced at him, and said in a low voice unhurriedly.

However, this is indeed a way.

If ordinary people receive this invitation, although they doubt it, they will not easily deny it. They should always be half-believing.But the person behind the scenes is different. This series of incidents were all designed by him, so he should clearly know that the so-called Tianjimen's selection of the Lord of the World is absolutely nonsense, and this invitation is definitely not a disciple of Tianjimen. It is set up, if you do mental calculations or not, you may be able to see the flaws.

However, now it seems that the man's psychological quality is very good, and he has not shown any abnormalities.

Like someone!
"First you fabricated the imprint of Tianjimen, then you passed on the rumors from the waiter, and then there was this mystery. You did it perfectly. The most hateful thing is that you still pretend to be Ling Qinghan's envoy even though you set it up. , Get rid of your own suspicions." If she hadn't heard Xiao Limo's words, she might have been dubious.Xiao Limo, who is so meticulous, looks a lot like the extremely cunning Mr. Zhan that the emperor said... So, the flaws he showed in front of her before were intentional?

why?
"Oh?" Xiao Limo's eyebrows and eyes were curved, and he listened, "So, you agreed to use the purse as a lottery because you knew that I set up the game? So," said a chuckle, warm breath carried With the smell of sandalwood, he sprayed it lightly on Hua Qingluan's earlobe, "Actually, you want to give me the purse?"
