The leading envoy looked at Lin Yuxin in disbelief and asked:
"Just her?"
"Yes."
The man nodded, and the leading envoy got the confirmation, gritted his teeth, and could only bear it, and 껩 said nothing more! But he prayed in his heart that this woman might not be able to guess it right.
Why are the envoys from Sauna so afraid of Lin Yuxin? Of course, last year, Lin Yuxin's image of dealing with the envoys from Qi left a deep impression on them. This woman is too smart, and she can even train a tiger? How can she not be scary?
When the envoy returned to Sauna, he told the king of Sauna about this.
Although they didn't really believe how powerful that woman was, they told the envoys what they had said to Xia Kingdom, telling them not to provoke Lin Yuxin unless it was absolutely necessary, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
"Yuxin! Can you really guess it?"
The emperor looked at Lin Yuxin standing out with a confident look on his face, and asked with concern, after all, they had never even seen these things, how could this girl know them?
"Your Majesty, rest assured! I will not do anything I am not sure of. But Your Majesty, if I can really guess it, how many cows can I give it to you?"
Lin Yuxin felt that she had to make the conditions clear in advance, otherwise the emperor would just brush her off. Didn't the emperor just not give her a reward? Wasn't it too much for her to ask for a reward in advance? Besides, it was just a few cows!
"Okay, as long as you win, it's just a cow! Just give it to you."
The emperor thought that cows were no big deal, as long as he could win and save face for the Xia Kingdom, then that would be all.
"That's easy! Your Majesty, just wait and see! Envoy from Sauna Country, are you sure that if I can guess what it is, you will give us all your cows, sheep, and horses?"
When Lin Yuxin heard that the emperor agreed, she was immediately happy. Then she turned to look at the envoy from Sauna Country and confirmed again, hoping that he would regret not giving it to her later, otherwise she would be unhappy and would make a fuss.
"Of course, we in Sauna Country keep our word. As long as you can guess it, then all of these will be given to you."
The envoy of Sauna Country did not think that the woman could really answer the question. He thought that the woman must have been lucky last year, so he agreed very readily.
"That's good, but can we change our bet?"
Lin Yuxin thought about it and decided to have fun, Yu said.
"Change what?"
The envoy from Sauna asked in confusion.
"If I guess what this item is, you will not only give us these animals, but also sign a ten-year treaty of peaceful coexistence with us. How about that?"
Lin Yuxin spoke directly and expressed her thoughts.
Lin Yuxin's words not only shocked the envoys of Sauna Country, but even the emperor and the ministers present were stunned by Lin Yuxin's courage.
How dare this Regent Princess negotiate with the Sauna Kingdom on behalf of the Emperor? And for such a serious state affair? The Sauna Kingdom would definitely not agree!
The emperor did not say anything at this time. He was waiting for the Sauna Kingdom to agree. Although Lin Yuxin made the bet suddenly, it was exactly what he wanted. Who would go to war if they could live in peace?
After the envoys from Sauna Country were stunned for a moment, they gathered in a circle with serious faces and discussed for a long time. One of the envoys raised his head and asked Lin Yuxin:
"What if you don't guess it?"
"If I don't guess it right, we will send you food and vegetables for ten years for free, how about that?"
Lin Yuxin's words really hit the nail on the head.
The people of Sauna Country live on grasslands all year round and have many livestock. The soil there is special and wheat and vegetables cannot survive there at all, so every year they exchange livestock for other countries.
However, it cannot supply the entire country's population, and people still eat meat almost every day, so it is common for inconvenience to occur.
If Xiaguo could give them rice and vegetables for free for ten years, it would be a great help to them!
Now it was impossible for the envoys of Sauna Kingdom not to be tempted, so they agreed after discussing for a while:
"Okay! We agreed to bet!"
Lin Yuxin felt relieved when she heard the promise. It's fine as long as you agree to it.
"Your Majesty, what do you think of my proposal?"
Lin Yuxin looked at the emperor. This matter still needed his approval!
"I agree, you guys go ahead and compete!"
The emperor thought of Lin Yuxin's methods of preparing grains and vegetables, which had ensured that the people of Xia had enough food to eat in just one year.
All the food we spent can buy ten years of peace, which is worth it.
After Lin Yuxin got confirmation, she slowly walked to the middle, looked at the things in the first tray, walked around them twice, frowned when she looked at the second tray, turned around and stopped in front of the first tray.
"Why? You must know, right? If you didn't know, you should have said it earlier. After all, it's normal for a pregnant woman who has never seen the world."
The envoy saw that Lin Yuxin turned around twice without saying anything, and thought she was just showing off, so he immediately mocked her.
Seeing this, those ministers felt that Lin Yuxin could not have guessed it.
"How could a woman like the princess know these things? Wouldn't she be embarrassing to the Xia Kingdom if she went there?"
"There's no way. The emperor values her! I don't think the emperor would blame her if she can't guess it! Who says she is a popular person around the emperor now?"
"But this Sauna Country is really going too far. Those things that no one can recognize come to make things difficult for us. Do they really think that our Xia Country has no temper?"
"Who says no? But what are these things? How can the princess know when she has never seen them?"
The ministers were talking about it, some were suspicious, some were indignant, and some were worried, but no one stood up to help Lin Yuxin out, because they didn't know what this thing was, and they couldn't go up and make a fool of themselves.
Zhao Yingjie and the others looked at Lin Yuxin with worry on their faces. They had already made up their minds that if Xinxin failed to guess the answer, they would go up to her and beg for mercy and excuse Lin Yuxin.
Cheng Tinghao looked nervous. He believed that his sister could guess it. He knew something about his sister's abilities, but he couldn't stop feeling nervous and worried.
Lin Yuxin ignored the discussions around her and calmly picked up the first item, turned it in her hands, raised the corners of her lips, and then spoke lightly:
"This thing is a chain, strung together with a few connected wires. You just need to untie the objects here one by one. Am I right?"
After Lin Yuxin finished speaking, she looked at the envoy from Sauna Country.
“…You’re…right!”
The envoy's face froze. She actually guessed it right? Yes, she must have guessed it. Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that she was right. However, he rolled his eyes and started to make things difficult again:
"Even if you are right, can you solve it? If you can solve it, I will believe you!"
Lin Yuxin glanced at him, rolled her eyes and said:
"You just told me to guess it, but you didn't tell me to solve it. How can you, a man, be so slow in doing things?"
"How can you talk like that? ... I don't think you can solve it!"
The envoy's face turned red with anger after hearing what Lin Yuxin said. She actually said that he was a man who was nagging her? How stupid!
