Chapter 521

~5 min read 824 words

Cui Xinghe calculated in his heart at the first opportunity.

"Zhang San borrowed 700 wen each from his parents, which is 1400 wen; buying clothes cost 1330 wen, leaving 70 wen; he returned 20 wen each and kept 30 wen for himself!"

"So he owes his parents 680 wen each, which is 1360 wen, and plus the 30 wen he has left, it is only 1390 wen. This is clearly 10 wen short of 1400 wen..."

Hum!

Cui Xinghe was stunned, and he fell into deep thought.

"Where did these 10 wen go?"

Which part went wrong?

Just as Cui Xinghe was racking his brains, a tall and familiar figure blocked his path again.

"Lord Gao, what is this?"

Cui Xinghe asked, puzzled.

How did Gao Yang come back here after walking around?

Gao Yang lowered his voice and said, "Lord Cui, a great enemy is in front of us, and it concerns the face of our Da Qian. You and I should put aside our differences. Can you help this official?"

Upon hearing this, Cui Xinghe shook his head immediately.

"Lord Gao, this official said before that I am not skilled in mathematics; I am truly powerless!"

"You should think about it yourself."

Let alone that he didn't know where the 10 wen went, even if he really knew, he would never say.

Although he also stood on Da Qian's side, he also had his own selfish motives!

Fundamentally, he was Gao Yang's greatest political enemy; as long as Gao Yang was alive, he, Cui Xinghe, would never have a day to get ahead in Da Qian.

From this point of view, he wished Gao Yang would die sooner.

How could he possibly help Gao Yang!

Gao Yang looked regretful and furrowed his brows, "Since that is the case, this official can only think about it myself."

"Please, Lord Cui, do not speak to interrupt this official's train of thought. I will use the dragon Qi here to think carefully!"

"This question is too difficult!"

Cui Xinghe looked at Gao Yang's feet, his expression strange.

He also sighed in his heart that Suan Wudao really had some skills, actually forcing the dignified Da Qian Living Yama to this point; that was truly not easy.

On the dragon throne.

Wu Zhao wore a golden dragon robe, her noble and fair face expressionless. Her phoenix eyes fell on Gao Yang. From her perspective, Gao Yang was in front of Cui Xinghe, blocking the direction of Chu Ningyu and the others.

And they both lowered their voices, so she couldn't hear them at all.

Wu Zhao's mouth twitched.

Shangguan Wan'er said with worry on the side: "Your Majesty, Lord Gao seems to have encountered a problem, but this official hasn't figured out where the 10 wen went either. What should be done?"

Wu Zhao's expression was indifferent, and she just shook her head.

"Don't worry, just watch the show."

"This Gao Yang is far worse than you imagine."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wan'er was instantly stunned.

Gao Yang is worse than she imagined?

But after Wu Zhao finished this sentence, she didn't say anything more, and Shangguan Wan'er could only look down.

At this time, Suan Wudao said, "Lord Gao, my question is quite difficult. If you really can't think of it, just say so, and I will definitely clear it up for you!"

As he spoke, he stroked his beard and let out a long sigh of relief.

The Da Qian officials' faces were ugly, and their gazes toward Suan Wudao were filled with intense displeasure.

But just as his voice fell, Gao Yang turned around and laughed loudly.

"Who said this official couldn't think of it?"

"A mere logic-misleading question—what is difficult about this?"

As soon as these words were out, it swept through the entire Jin Luan Hall like a storm.

The indifference on Suan Wudao's face instantly disappeared.

"What?"

"Lord Gao figured it out?"

Suan Wudao was full of surprise.

Gao Yang had just looked like it was difficult and the question was truly hard.

But how did it become "what is difficult about this" in the blink of an eye?

Was this speed of changing faces a bit too fast?

But he really didn't dare to underestimate Gao Yang's previous solution to the chicken-and-rabbit cage problem, and even an ominous premonition emerged in his heart: Gao Yang had really figured it out.

Cui Xinghe was also stunned.

What is the situation?

Gao Yang had just said the question was too difficult and that he needed to put aside their differences and help him for the sake of Da Qian!

How long had it been, and he was laughing loudly that the question was not difficult?

Cui Xinghe looked at the position where Gao Yang had just been, his expression suspicious.

Could it be that Gao Yang is really a master of Feng Shui, and dragon Qi is really gathered here?

Or...
