Chapter 26: Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji, who was so angry he could vomit blood

"Your Majesty, let me try."

Ludongzan, who had been standing silently to the side, suddenly stepped out and walked to the long table.

"Hmph!"

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji gave a contemptuous laugh.

He really thinks he's something!

Li Er smiled without a word, watching Ludongzan calmly.

Why bother?

Haven't I already told you the answer?

Treating me Wu Li Ke a monkey? (Seeking flowers, seeking votes)

Why must you still make such a fool of yourself?

But Ludongzan did not care about the gazes of others; he simply took a small box from his sleeve. He opened the box, and inside was an ant!

Ludongzan directly tied the silk thread to the ant and let the ant enter the small hole of the pearl. After only a short while.

The ant carried the silk thread and walked out from the other side of the small hole.

Threading the needle through the pearl...

Completed just Wu Li Ke that!

The Taiji Hall was silent.

Everyone looked at the pearl in astonishment.

Incredible!

This method was simply mind-boggling!

Even Li Er's expression stiffened slightly.

Tibet...

Truly has great talent!

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji's face turned the color of a pig's liver, looking as ugly as if he had swallowed a fly.

Very well!

I actually misjudged you; I never expected you to have such talent.

The civil and military officials of Great Tang also had grave expressions.

They had originally thought Tibet was merely a barbaric land, but they never expected it to have such a genius.

Truly extraordinary!

Ludongzan felt the surrounding gazes, which were both shocked and respectful, and felt extremely comfortable.

The figure of that youth appeared in his mind.

Thanks to His Majesty!

He is truly the Lord of Destiny!

I, Ludongzan, have truly cultivated blessings for ten thousand generations to be able to serve such a wise and great young hero!

Qin Mu's figure became infinitely more majestic in his heart.

Next was the second problem.

Great strength!

As the name implies, it was to see who had the greatest strength.

Many envoys from various nations were quite confident about this problem.

They selected the strongest among them and performed on the spot.

Some lifted logs, some lifted iron blocks, and others lifted stones.

It was a motley collection!

Ludongzan remained full of confidence, claiming he could lift himself up.

Everyone mocked him, thinking he had gone mad.

How could a person possibly lift themselves up?

If one could really do that, wouldn't they be the world's greatest strongman?

Li Er also smiled and shook his head.

How could this be possible?

Ludongzan did not explain, but ordered people to bring a few logs and build a frame.

He placed himself in a basket, tied it with a rope, passed the rope over the other side of the frame, and actually lifted himself up.

Seeing this scene, everyone in the hall dropped their jaws.

No one had expected that there could be such a way to compare strength.

Li Er's expression became increasingly grave.

He had not expected Ludongzan to solve two unsolvable problems in a row.

This person is no ordinary individual!

He must be taken seriously!

Li Er intended to have some proper contact with Ludongzan; perhaps he could even poach him.

The third problem was neither simple nor difficult.

Find the Princess!

Inside the hall stood one hundred brides covered with red veils.

Whoever could use their own insight and ability to find the real Princess would be allowed to marry a Great Tang Princess for their sovereign!

The envoys racked their brains, yet still could not find the real Princess among the brides.

"Honored envoy of Tibet, it is your turn."

Li Er looked with deep eyes at Ludongzan, who had not made any move.

After the solutions to the first two problems, not a single monarch or official of Great Tang dared to look down on him.

Everyone turned their gazes toward Ludongzan.

"Emperor of Great Tang, there is no need to look. None of these brides is the real Princess!"

Ludongzan answered with extreme confidence.

This was the answer to all three problems that Qin Mu had given him!

Qin Mu understood these tricks better than anyone.

What three problems, what battle of wits—it was all bullshit!

A true powerhouse must keep everything in their own hands.

He was Wu Li Ke this, and Li Er was even more so.

In this marriage alliance, how could he possibly rely on a few problems to decide an ally?

All plans must be executed with absolute certainty.

To achieve this, the simplest way was to ensure no envoy could find the real Princess among the brides, thereby allowing him to name the bride himself!

Only then could one truly control everything!

It was merely the art of imperial rule.

"Wow!"

As soon as Ludongzan said this, the entire hall was in an uproar.

"How could this be?"

"My God, I feel Wu Li Ke an idiot!"

"Tibet is truly full of talent to have such an incredibly clever person."

The envoys from various nations conceded defeat.

In terms of true sharpness, they couldn't even see the shadow of this Tibetan envoy.

But only Ludongzan knew in his heart.

The person who was incredibly clever was not him, but Qin Mu behind him!

"Hahaha, truly a talent!"

"I announce the marriage for Tibet, giving Princess Wencheng, Li Li Xueyan, to your sovereign!"

Li Er laughed heartily and decided the marriage on the spot.

He thought Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji had told Ludongzan the final answer, so his expression did not show much surprise.

As for Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji, he looked at Ludongzan through gritted teeth, so angry that his blood was flowing backward.

Very well!

It seems you knew the answer all along; you were treating me Wu Li Ke a fool yesterday!

It truly infuriates me!

Just as the Great Tang nobles and the envoys of various nations were congratulating the Tibetan sovereign on winning a beauty, the true mastermind, Qin Mu, appeared on the outskirts of Changancheng.

Behind him.

Wei Wei Zhongxian and Yu Yu Huatian followed silently.
