Chapter 1687: Truth and falsehood, a heart-punishing game

Li Chengye thought Gao Yang was being modest, so he blew on the hot tea, took a sip, and said.

"Prime Minister Gao, you are too modest. That sentence about a one-degree deviation in stars meaning a ten-mile deviation on the ground, and a ten-degree deviation in stars meaning a hundred-mile deviation on the ground, I remember clearly."

"If Gao Yang doesn't understand astronomy, then who in the world can understand astronomy?"

Li Chengye smiled, and the tea entered his mouth.

"If Commandant Li can blow as well as I can, then Commandant Li also understands."

Gao Yang's voice just fell.

The next second.

Pfft!

Li Chengye's eyes widened, and the hot tea in his mouth sprayed out directly.

He looked stunned and said in disbelief.

"What?"

"Blown?"

"Prime Minister Gao, is it the meaning of talking nonsense that I think?"

Gao Yang said with praise, "Correct, just as Commandant Li thinks."

Li Chengye's eyes went black, and he almost fainted.

He admired Gao Yang very much, truly believing that Gao Yang could know astronomy and calculate geography, but he never expected that Gao Yang was just blowing.

The sky has fallen!

Wu Ying also widened his eyes and could not help but say, "Blown... blown?"

He also believed it!

He originally wanted to find an opportunity to ask Gao Yang for advice and perform the ceremony of apprenticeship, but this was blown?

Gao Yang said as a matter of course, "This is natural. A one-degree deviation in stars doesn't just mean a ten-mile deviation on the ground. As for how much it actually deviates, I'm afraid only Heaven knows."

Li Chengye: "..."

Wu Ying: "..."

"Prime Minister Gao, then are these camels, desert ants, and desert poplar trees real?"

If these were all fake, then the sky would really have fallen.

Li Chengye was extremely nervous, his eyes staring fixedly at Gao Yang.

"Commandant Li is talking about this; these are not all blown."

"Camels have sensitive smell, desert ants find water sources, desert poplar roots point west, and water is beneath it; these are all true."

Li Chengye wiped the sweat from his forehead upon hearing this.

Gao Yang almost scared him!

But he suddenly widened his eyes and said to Gao Yang, "Prime Minister Gao, what does this word 'all' mean?"

Gao Yang said with a smile, "Naturally, I blew a little bit."

"For example, the camel's sense of smell, besides needing a windless environment, can only sniff out water sources on the surface and within three zhang underground; it cannot sniff out deep groundwater."

"And the relationship between this desert poplar tree and groundwater only has a correlation coefficient of seventy to eighty percent, and the efficiency of the spiral shovel only increased by thirty to fifty percent, not three to five times."

"Besides these that I didn't say, everything else is true."

Li Chengye: "..."

Wu Ying: "..."

"Prime Minister Gao, why is this?"

Li Chengye was anxious.

Gao Yang picked up the teacup and said with a smile, "Naturally, it is to perform a play!"

Li Chengye was stunned at first, and then his pupils shrank.

He thought of Gao Yang summoning Huyan Gudu and the group of Xiongnu guides in public.

He thought of Pu Duo being ennobled and receiving rewards in public.

With Gao Yang's sentence about performing a play, everything was automatically connected in Li Chengye's mind. ===== CHAPTER 1689 =====
