"Seven rows!"

"Lord Gao, is it or is it not?"

Suan Wudao took a deep breath, his eyes locked on Gao Yang, giving his answer!

Gao Yang shook his head gently.

"Wrong!"

"Then eight rows?"

Suan Wudao made a gesture of eight, continuing to look at him eagerly.

"Still wrong."

"Then it must be nine rows!"

Suan Wudao wouldn't give up and said again.

Gao Yang's mouth twitched, "Master Suan, if you guess like this, this official believes you will guess it sooner or later. Just give this official an accurate answer."

Master Suan's old face turned red.

He could still deduce seven rows in his mind, but as for eight and nine rows later, he was just guessing randomly.

This question was too difficult.

Even though he considered himself familiar with graphics, he only felt his brain aching.

But now Gao Yang insisted on him giving an answer; how could he give it?

Suddenly, he had an inspiration, looked at Gao Yang, and said eagerly, "Lord Gao, I just thought of it, and I have a definitely correct answer in my heart."

"Planting 20 trees, four per row, I think at most you can plant X trees!"

"How about this X?"

As Suan Wudao spoke, his eyes stared at Gao Yang.

Gao Yang's expression moved; this answer truly shocked him.

This Suan Wudao is really a talent; he even came up with X trees.

"According to your problem-solving approach, Master Suan, then all things in the world and all difficult problems would be solved and have answers!"

"One X is enough to solve everything."

Master Suan's old face turned red, and he was speechless by Gao Yang's retort.

"Then I will think about it again."

Suan Wudao glanced at the sand in the hourglass and continued to deduce in his mind.

Gao Yang made a gesture of "please," then moved his gaze away and walked toward Cui Xinghe again.

"Lord Gao, are you here to feel the so-called dragon Qi again?"

Cui Xinghe was like a great enemy.

Gao Yang was calm and showed a smile, "Lord Cui, you and I are colleagues; why be so distant? We should watch and help each other and make our Da Qian strong together!"

Cui Xinghe looked at Gao Yang deeply.

When "watch and help each other" came out, he was even more panicked.

Gao Yang is not right; his whole person is not right.

On the other side, Chu Ningyu came to Suan Wudao's side and said in a low voice, "Master Suan, are you sure about this question?"

Suan Wudao looked at Chu Ningyu's face and said bitterly, "Great Princess, based on my attainments in mathematics, I am afraid that even if you gave me a hundred years, I couldn't solve it!"

"The difficulty of this question far exceeds my imagination!"

Chu Ningyu's face was ugly, "Is this question this difficult?"

Suan Wudao nodded heavily, "Let alone me, even if the number one math saint of this generation and all the scholars in the world came to solve this question, it would be tough!"

"This question looks simple, but it is extremely difficult!"

"This Da Qian Living Yama's attainments in mathematics are terrifying!"

"Not to mention that I only have half an hour; even if the God of Literature possessed me, it would be tough to solve it."

As soon as these words were out, Chu Ningyu was shocked.

She furrowed her brows, but then said, "Then there is only one way to go now."

Upon hearing this, Master Suan felt a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

Soon, the sand ran out.

Gao Yang said calmly, "Master Suan, how about it?"

Master Suan sighed and said, "Lord Gao is worthy of being Da Qian's number one strategist; the difficulty of this question is rare in my life!"

"I am willing to admit defeat."

Gao Yang was surprised.

This Suan Wudao admitted defeat so straightforwardly?

And he even started flattering him?

Suan Wudao then said, "Lord Gao, it's getting late, so I won't bother you anymore. As for the bet, I am not a stingy person. After the court session, I will go to the largest rice shop in Changan, buy two bags of rice, and personally deliver them to the Dingguo Duke's mansion to show my sincerity. How about that?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Yang laughed directly.

This Suan Wudao really had a good plan; did he really take him for a fool?

"Master Suan is truly generous; how can a mere chessboard hold two bags of rice?"

"This official is truly moved!"

Suan Wudao was overjoyed, his whole body trembling with excitement.

Gao Yang didn't know, so he could deceive him!

But the next second, Gao Yang said again.

"But my reputation is known by everyone in Da Qian; am I the kind of person who likes to take advantage of others?"

"Please, Your Majesty, grant me a chessboard!"

Gao Yang bowed to Wu Zhao.

Wu Zhao also said faintly, "Someone, bring a chessboard and a bag of rice!"

At this moment, Suan Wudao's face changed drastically.

Chu Ningyu's face also suddenly darkened.
