Seeing that his wife was unwilling to talk, Han Yu did not ask any more questions, fearing that it might attract other people's attention. However, a deep color flashed in his eyes. It was really abnormal for his wife to behave like this. It was only after she got on the stage. No, it should be said that she had this reaction after she heard the words "Colorful Exquisite Lantern". Could it be that his wife also knew about this Colorful Exquisite Lantern?
Han Yu was not overly suspicious, it was just that his wife behaved that way, otherwise Shangguan Wuyou would not have been suspicious.
"I really don't know what's wrong with the wooden box, I just find it strange. Don't you think there's something wrong with the appearance of that broken wooden box?" Su Wenyue didn't know what to say, but if she didn't say anything, Han Yu was so smart that he would definitely see something. It would be bad if he misunderstood, so she deliberately pointed out the flaw.
Han Yu, like everyone else, had originally focused his attention on the black wooden box. After hearing what Su Wenyue said, he realized that there was indeed something wrong with the broken wooden box. It was not the broken wooden box itself, but the place where it appeared was wrong. Sure enough, he listened to what Su Wenyue continued to say.
"I didn't think anything of it at first, but I just felt it was a little weird. But then I realized that the position where those women in red were standing seemed to be guarding the black wooden box, but the broken wooden box was also within their protection range. Moreover, these people were obviously well-trained. There was nothing unnecessary on the stage, except for this broken wooden box. It was really unreasonable. I didn't know when it appeared on the stage. I guess the broken wooden box and the black wooden box were just a deliberate attempt to deceive people and attract everyone's attention."
Although Su Wenyue did not tell the whole truth in order to deal with Han Yu, she did not lie either. The reality was indeed like that. Su Wenyue discovered the abnormality in the broken wooden box because she had a special feeling about it. She had a feeling that the colorful exquisite lamp was in the broken wooden box, a very strong feeling. If it was something else, Su Wenyue was not sure, but when it came to the colorful exquisite lamp, Su Wenyue believed that her feeling was correct.
"Wife, you are right." Han Yu is more observant than Su Wenyue, and people who practice martial arts can see certain things better. He didn't notice it just now, but now after Su Wenyue's reminder, he found many unusual places. Su Wenyue relied on intuition, but Han Yu came to the conclusion based on precise analysis.
Han Yu came to this conclusion with a stern expression, the host of the arena must have made such an arrangement for a reason, he arranged so many people to guard it, yet still had to hide the things in a broken wooden box. It can be seen that the competition for the colorful exquisite lantern is more intense than imagined, not only those who participated in the competition openly, but also those who snatched it secretly. If they didn't win the first place, it would be fine, but if they won the first place, I'm afraid it would not be peaceful.
Han Yu pulled Su Wenyue in front of Shangguan Wuyou and said, "Brother Runzhi, I have something to arrange. Can you help me take care of my wife?"
Han Yu whispered a few words into Shangguan Wuyou's ear. Shangguan Wuyou's face became serious, knowing that Han Yu must have made arrangements for this. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of my sister-in-law."
Shangguan Wuyou said this and gave a few instructions to his subordinates around him, and then the subordinates left. People like them would never place their hopes and initiative on others.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Ye Xinxin asked curiously, without any worry.
Shangguan Wuyou had no intention of explaining: "It's okay, just watch your fun happily."
With such great kung fu skills, all eight pairs were selected and went on the stage. Sun Qianru was actually among them, and she was followed by three people dressed as scholars. Su Wenyue didn't know them, but Shangguan Wuyou recognized them and said they were great scholars who came from Chang'an City.
He turned out to be a great scholar invited from Chang'an. The Sun family really invested a lot of money in this lantern riddle competition. No wonder Sun Qianru looked so smug and looked at people with her chin down. I'm afraid she came here for the colorful lanterns.
Sun Qianru looked at Su Wenyue with a bit of provocation. Originally, she could only watch the lantern riddle competition from the side. The result was very important to their Sun family. They had to get the colorful lantern. She had finally obtained her father's consent and accompanied the three great scholars to the stage. Now it was finally her time to shine. She was waiting for Su Wenyue and the others to be defeated by her people and roll off the stage in disgrace.
Su Wenyue would normally pay attention to Sun Qianru, but now she was preoccupied with something and was too lazy to pay attention to her, causing Sun Qianru's smug smile to freeze on her face. It was so hateful that she finally had a chance to be proud, but this woman from the Su family actually ignored her!
Han Yu came back not long after, and it was obvious that he had made all the arrangements. Su Wenyue asked casually, and then stopped caring when she knew that Han Yu had made all the arrangements. Her mind was in a mess at this moment. Not only was the broken wooden box always had an inexplicable attraction to her, but it was also because of the colorful exquisite lantern. She knew about the colorful exquisite lantern before, but had never heard of the legend about it, that there was a secret treasure in the colorful exquisite lantern that could make people immortal.
Su Wenyue was thinking about things in her mind. The competition had gone through several rounds and had entered an extremely intense stage. Four groups had been eliminated. The remaining four groups were Su Wenyue's group, the four talented men of Yiyang Prefecture, Sun Qianru's group which also successfully stayed, and the other was the single old man.
No one will be eliminated next. A scoring system will be adopted. The first place in the lantern riddle competition will be decided from these four groups. However, the strength of these four groups is quite strong. After several rounds of competition, they are actually evenly matched. Even Shangguan Wuyou, who is known as a genius, could not gain the upper hand. The situation became a little tense.
The host on the stage obviously did not expect such a situation. All the difficult questions they set were solved one by one, and they could not come up with more difficult questions for a while. At this time, a little boy came up and handed a note to the host.
The host was delighted when he saw the note. It seemed that he had found a solution. He calmed down and said to Lang Sheng, "Today's lantern riddle competition was extremely intense. All the difficult questions we set were solved by the talented people. I will no longer set the questions for the next competition. Instead, I will divide the four groups into two groups. They will compete against each other and set questions for each other. The two winning pairs will compete against each other to determine who will be the first place today."
After the host finished speaking, he asked his servants to bring two boxes over for drawing lots to decide which two groups would compete against each other.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
As a result of the draw, Su Wenyue and her group were paired against Sun Qianru, while the strange old man's group was paired against the Four Talents of Yiyang.
