Chapter 111 Disputes in front of the palace
That night, Lu Dongzan of Chang'an Inn returned to his room tiredly. He was about to lie down and saw a man lying on his bed. When he lifted it up, he saw that he was a woman, but he was naked.
"Woo woo woo woo woo woo..." The other party had a cloth head stuffed into his mouth.
Looking at the body in front of him, Lu Dongzan swallowed hard. This woman was from the Indian. At this time, there were shouts outside the door, and the voices of the Indians were heard.
When his heart sank, he immediately understood something. Lu Dongzan hurriedly wrapped the woman with a bed and lifted it under the bed, and sat calmly in his room.
"Open the door, open the door quickly!" The voices of the Indians sounded outside the door.
As soon as Lu Dongzan opened the door, several envoys from India rushed in and looked for the people carefully, "Have you ever seen our India women?"
"No!" Lu Dongzan stood straight, "Please go out."
A man from an inn accidentally looked down at the bed, "Huh? There seems to be something under the bed!"
Lu Dongzan, “…”
Several Indians pulled someone out from under the bed and saw that she was tied up and took off her clothes.
"You...you listen to my explanation!" Lu Dongzan stepped back step by step.
The inn was in chaos. When the people inquired, they realized that it was the Tubo envoy who abducted the women of envoys from other countries. The impression of the Tubo people reached a freezing point. For a time, there was no woman within a radius of ten miles, and there was not even a female animal.
At dawn, Gu Qing came to Chang'an early and stood with Su Dingfang.
Today, I was going to prepare for marrying the princess, and the envoys had already prepared it, only Lu Dongzan was limping and bruised when walking.
"Tubo envoy, have you been assassinated?" Gu Qing asked with a look of knowingly.
...
According to the old rules, Gu Qing escorted these envoys into the Tai Chi Palace and stood quietly aside. Then there was the Duke and General of Chang'an, and everyone was together.
Li Chengqian said, "I am the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. This time, the marriage is a competition to marry."
"How to compete!" said the Turkic envoy, looking at the other envoys around him. It seemed that not all envoys could marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty this time.
Li Tai said, "If you ask questions, if other envoys cannot answer them, you will win, and then we will solve the questions of the Tang Dynasty. If we solve them, we will solve our questions. Of course! As long as we Tang Dynasty ministers cannot solve your questions, even if you pass the battle of wisdom, on the contrary, if you can't solve your questions of the Tang Dynasty, you can ask for a princess if you can't solve your questions."
Gu Qing was hilarious. How could Li Tai design the process so complicatedly? He was almost confused.
After saying this, the envoys present also began to whisper and discuss, which was actually fair. Both sides answered their respective questions, which were considered a draw, and a draw could be considered a loss in the Tang Dynasty. The envoy of the Indians stood up first and said to everyone, "I have a question!"
"Please say!" Li Tai spoke.
The envoy of the Indians said, taking out a piece of paper, "My question is to divide this piece of paper and then put it together again. It is still a square piece, but there should be a square piece in the middle, but the paper is still complete, so you can't throw that piece away!"
As soon as the topic came out, everyone was thinking, Tai Chi Palace was quiet for a moment, and Fang Xuanling fell into deep thought.
Li Tai whispered, "Divide the paper and piece it together, it's a square shape, and there's one piece missing in the middle. What's important is how to divide and piece it together?"
Cheng Yaojin looked drowsy, and the envoy of the Indians looked at the other envoys, "Can you please help me?"
No one of the envoys answered, it seemed that there was no answer. This time it was the Tang Dynasty's turn. The envoy of the Indian country smiled and said, "I dare to ask if there is an answer."
Li Tai frowned, and no one answered. Tai Chi Palace was as quiet as a pool of stagnant water.
"I dare to ask the country, can there be an answer?" said the Indian envoy again.
"Yes!" Gu Qing raised his hand and said immediately, "I have an answer."
As soon as Gu Qing stood up, Li Tai breathed a sigh of relief but was worried that Gu Qing would not be able to solve it. Li Er sat up and watched.
"Actually, I was almost tired of this topic when I was a child." Gu Qing picked up the paper and said, "Who has a knife to lend me some money?"
Li Er nodded to Wang Qin, and soon a little eunuch handed a knife, Gu Qing held it in his hand and said to the envoy of India, "How long did you take to solve this problem?"
"Three months." said the Indian envoy.
"I only have a cup of tea!" Gu Qing slid the knife in his hand, cut the paper into several pieces in different shapes, then quickly put the knife in his hand, "I'm done!"
"It's done? So fast!" Li Tai stepped forward and looked anxiously. Sure enough, there was another square in the middle! The paper was still a lot of paper.
The envoy of the Indians stood there, "It took me three months, why are you so fast?"
The other envoys also looked over, and as the title said, Li Er had a teasing smile on his face, and he felt much more relieved.
Songtsen Gampo's eyes became more and more intense and fearful.
"I won't tell you!" Gu Qing nodded with a smile, "Now it's our turn to set the questions."
"Please come to the country to make a question!" said the envoy of the Indians bowed.
Li Tai hurriedly asked the palace maid on the side to take out the things and said, "This is a cooked egg with a peeled shell. How can I put this egg intact into the mouth of this bottle? First, the egg cannot be damaged at all, and second, the egg cannot be used to use human resources. Only let the egg enter the mouth of the bottle by itself. Third, the bottle cannot be damaged."
Everyone looked at the mouth of the bottle smaller than the eggs, watching and thinking. Even Li Er wondered how this could be done. If you can't use human resources, you can't squeeze cooked eggs into the bottle. He held the porcelain that was originally used to store flowers and plants and fell into thinking. Seeing the wicked smile on Gu Qing's face, he understood a lot. This kind of question was not something Li Tai could think of, "It's still this bastard boy."
Gu Qing smiled and looked at all the envoys in front of him and thought to himself that I don’t believe you know the thing about air pressure.
The Indian messenger looked ugly and looked at the egg and the bottle mouth for half an hour, "I can't answer!"
"Please sit down." Li Tai said.
"I can't answer. Does the country have an answer?" Tianzhu Shichen was not convinced.
"Of course there is." Gu Qing said lazyly.
Li Tai took out a fire note and threw it into the bottle, put the cooked egg on the mouth of the bottle. After half the incense stick, the egg began to change. Everyone's eyes widened. The egg really entered the bottle automatically. Li Er stood up! Without external force, is this a magic trick?
"Could that boy Gu Qing really be a monster?" Cheng Yaojin said, and he was convinced that this was Gu Qing's question.
Fang Xuanling couldn't speak for a long time and looked at Gu Qing deeply, breathing heavily.
