Everyone felt that at this moment, after listening to Baili Tang's words in the morning and doing exercises for an hour and a half, their resentment and fear towards Baili Tang suddenly decreased.
This is definitely not a good sign.
Think about it, they have been tortured so badly along the way, how could they easily change their Lord?
In the court, voices supporting the new emperor have already been heard...
"Now, I will announce the answer to this question to everyone." Zhang Dong was in the middle of the crowd and shouted, "The first question..."
“Wait!!”
Just as everyone was eagerly awaiting Mr. Zhang's answer, an untimely voice rang out.
Xue Kai quickly winked at the man who interrupted Mr. Zhang, warning him not to meddle in other people's business at this time.
On the stage were Lord Zhang and Meng Fang. Baili Tang had returned to the tent, so Zhang Xiaofeng only had to bow to them. "Lord Zhang, General Meng, I am a humble official. I just suddenly thought of the answer to the second question. Before you reveal the answer, could you please let me try it out?"
Ye Hongxue frowned. She couldn't believe that someone had already figured out the answer to the second question. Unless it was the person who had set the question, who could have figured out the solution in such a short time?
Zhang Dongzheng was not one for being conventional: "Okay. But since the time for answering the questions has passed, your answer will not be counted towards Xue Jiajun's score, nor will it be counted towards you. Do you still insist?"
If you, Zhang Xiaofeng, knew the answer, why did you deliberately reveal it at this time? Aren't you worried that Xue Kai and others will cause trouble for you in the future?
Zhang Xiaofeng didn't say anything else. He had a piece of raw straw in his hand. Raw straw is hollow inside and can be used as a straw.
In front of everyone, he put one end of the straw into the tea bowl, held the other end of the straw in his mouth, and started to smoke.
"Oh! There's less tea! There's really less tea in the bowl!"
Someone said in surprise!
"This is too incredible, too simple, right?"
Master Zhang led the applause for Zhang Xiaofeng! This kid actually got the question right, a question that no one from the seven teams had answered correctly. His thinking was the same, different approaches to the same conclusion!
"Well done! I thought of using green onion leaves to complete your majesty's question!" Zhang Dongzheng praised from the bottom of his heart, and felt a sense of admiration for talent.
Zhang Xiaofeng nodded: "Sir, actually, for the first question, I have also thought of a simpler algorithm!"
"Please speak!"
"The area of a fan is naturally irregular. But we can fill it with mung beans, and then use the mung beans to form a square. If we calculate the area of this square, will it be almost the same?"
Zhang Dongzheng pondered for a moment. "There are some inaccuracies, but this is certainly a good idea! General Xue, I never thought a small captain in your Xue family army would be so talented. Incredible, truly incredible!"
At this moment, Xue Kai's face was as ugly as it could be!
Everyone knows that you, the Xue Family Army, appoint people based on personal connections. Even if a person is very talented, he will not be valued once he joins your Xue Family Army!
Zhang Xiaofeng hadn't come up with the answer until just before Zhang Dongzheng announced it. He might have been deliberately trying to embarrass the Xue family by revealing the answer now.
"Everyone have lunch first, and then continue the competition in the afternoon." Lord Zhang said with a smile.
Ye Hongxue couldn't help but glance at Zhang Xiaofeng twice. This guy probably wouldn't have spent half an hour solving these problems. Now that she thought about it, they were really simple. Was this problem thought up by the tyrant emperor, or did Zhang Dongzheng come up with it beforehand?
Thinking about it, Ye Hongxue chased after him: "Master Zhang!"
"General Ye, what do you want from me? I've already announced the answer!"
"Master Zhang, you truly have a brilliant mind! Only someone as knowledgeable and erudite as Master Zhang could come up with such a tricky question, right?"
In Ye Hongxue's heart, she didn't want to believe that it was Baili Tang who thought of the question.
He, Baili Tang, doesn't have that ability.
"If I say that Your Majesty was the one who thought of this topic on the spur of the moment, you wouldn't believe it." So he didn't bother to explain.
Could it really be a question the tyrant emperor came up with on the spur of the moment? Ye Hongxue wondered. Unable to figure it out, she stopped thinking about it. It was noon, and everyone was hungry. Baili Tang had asked them to compete, but he hadn't provided any food.
In Baili Tang's tent, Zhang Dong was reporting to Baili Tang what had just happened.
"So, this Zhang Dutou is a genius." Using small round green beans to fill a fan shape, and then rolling these green beans into a rectangle, although there is a margin of error, it is still a good method. Baili Tang also only thought of using a formula to calculate.
Meng Fang also nodded: "But I am worried that Xue Kai will cause trouble for Zhang Dutou. Your Majesty, why don't you just let me go and call Zhang Dutou over..."
Zhang Dongzheng shook his head and interrupted Meng Fang: "At least for now, he doesn't dare. He's worried that His Majesty will want to summon Zhang Dutou. As expected, the Xue family army will come in last in these three games."
"Right now, there is something quite tricky." Baili Tang was worried about another problem.
The bandits in Wuya Peak must be eliminated!
If he changes his ways, how will the people of the world laugh at him?
This is a question of public support! It is also a question that he, as the ruler of a country, cannot avoid!
"Eunuch Yang, tell Chao Hong and his daughter to come."
“Hey!”
"By the way, do you remember Song Chi from Dongyun County?" Baili Tang suddenly asked. He wondered if Song Chi had also joined the Royal Legion.
Meng Fang smiled and said, "He has been studying medicine with Imperial Physician Lu for a while now! Your Majesty, would you like to summon him here as well?"
"Um."
Baili Tang thought about it carefully. Liang Erhu was a chubby kid. Chao Man'er and he didn't seem to have any chemistry. It would be easy to expose their connection.
Song Chi is different, he has "experience".
Song Chi, having just lost his beloved, knew what love was. His eyes were deep, and he looked like someone with a story to tell. Zhang Dong had just said that Zhang Dutou was very smart, but being too smart wasn't good either. Furthermore, Zhang Dutou had been in the army for many years, and some of his temperament couldn't be transformed in a short period of time.
In comparison, Song Chi is the most appropriate.
"Eunuch Yang, what does that person want from us?" Chao Man'er asked curiously.
Eunuch Yang no longer cared whether Chao Man'er was respectful to His Majesty or not, and no longer forced anything.
"I don't know."
Chao Hong thought to himself: No matter what it is, it is not a good thing.
Soon, everyone was there.
Baili Tang didn't bother beating around the bush: "Xiao Lian, Song Chi, and Chao Man'er, I need you. Find a way to sneak into Wuya Peak and assassinate Xiang Tiange!!"
"No!" Chao Hong immediately objected, "Assassinating Xiang Tiange is too dangerous!"
"That's right!" Chao Man'er also objected, "Why don't you let your little concubine go? I won't go and die!"
