Chapter 52

Zhangsun Wuji gave a contemptuous laugh.

He really thought he was something!

Li Er smiled without a word, only calmly watching Lu Dongzan.

Why bother?

Had I not already told you the answer?

Treating this old man like a monkey? (Seeking flowers, seeking votes)

Why must you still make such a fool of yourself?

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

Lu Dongzan tied the silk thread directly to the ant and let the ant enter the small hole of the pearl. In just 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...

Thus completed!

The Taiji Hall was silent.

Everyone looked at that bright pearl in astonishment.

Incredible!

This method was simply mind-boggling!

Even Li Er's expression stiffened slightly.

Tibet...

Truly has great talent!

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

Very well!

This old man actually misjudged you; I did not expect you to have such talent.

The expressions of the Great Tang's civil and military officials were also somewhat grave.

They had originally thought Tibet was merely a barbaric land, but they did not expect it to have such a wondrous talent.

Truly extraordinary!

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

In his mind, the figure of that young man appeared.

Thanks to His Majesty!

He is truly the Lord of Destiny!

I, Lu Dongzan, truly have the blessing of ten thousand generations to be able to serve such a wise and great young hero!

Qin Mu's figure became countless times more towering in his heart.

Next was the second problem.

Infinite strength!

As the name implies, it is to compare who has the greatest strength.

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

They selected the strongest person among them one after another and performed on the spot.

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

It was simply a hodgepodge!

Lu Dongzan remained full of confidence, boasting that he could lift himself up.

The crowd mocked him one after another, feeling that he had simply gone mad.

How could a person possibly lift themselves up?

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

Li Er also shook his head with a smile.

How could this be possible?

Lu Dongzan did not explain anything; he simply ordered people to bring several pieces of wood and built a frame.

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

After 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 did not expect Lu Dongzan to be able to solve two unsolvable difficult problems in a row.

This person is no ordinary individual!

He must be taken seriously!

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

The third difficult problem was not simple, yet it was not difficult either.

Find the Princess!

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

Whoever could rely on their own eyesight and ability to find the real Princess could marry the Great Tang Princess for their own monarch!

The envoys of the various nations racked their brains, yet they still could not find the real Princess among this group of brides.

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

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

After the solutions to the first two rounds of problems, not a single person among the Great Tang's monarch and subjects dared to look down on him.

Everyone also cast their gazes toward Lu Dongzan.

"Emperor of the Great Tang, there is no need to look. Among this group of brides, not one is the real Princess!"

Lu Dongzan answered with extreme confidence.

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

Qin Mu understood these tricks better than anyone.

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

A true powerhouse is one who holds everything in their own hands.

He himself was like this, and Li Er was even more so.

For this marriage alliance, how could he possibly rely on a few problems to decide the ally for the marriage?

All plans must be executed with absolute certainty.

To achieve this, the simplest method was to not let any special envoy find the real Princess among the brides, thereby allowing him to name the marriage himself!

Only in this way could one truly control everything!

It was merely the art of imperial governance.

"Wow!"

Once Lu Dongzan said this, the entire hall was in an uproar.

"How could it be like this?"

"Heavens, I feel like an idiot!"

"Tibet is still full of talent; to think they could have such an incredibly clever person."

The envoys of the various nations admitted defeat one after another.

In terms of true sharpness, they could not even see the shadow of this Tibetan envoy before them.

But only Lu Dongzan understood in his heart.

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

"Hahaha, truly a talent!"

"I announce the granting of a marriage to Tibet, marrying Princess Wencheng, Li Xueyan, to your monarch!"

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

He thought that Zhangsun Wuji had told Lu Dongzan the final answer, so his expression did not show much surprise.

As for Zhangsun Wuji, he gnashed his teeth as he looked at Lu Dongzan, so angry that his blood was flowing in reverse.

Very well!

It seems you already knew the answer, and yesterday you were treating this old man like a fool! **CHAPTER 54**
