C780 Greed



C780 Greed

Time passes again.    

    

Yelu could no longer feel his arm.    

    

If this continued, he would definitely not be able to find any silver needles.    

    

Huyan obviously noticed that something was not right. He immediately said, "Yelu, it's fine if you can't find it. The silver needle was tiny, and the temperature of the oil pot was extremely high. Perhaps it has already melted into the oil pot. You can withdraw."    

    

"I understand."    

    

Yelu pulled out his finger as he spoke.    

    

He did not feel this much pain in the pot of oil, but when his hand met the wind, a piercing pain hit him, almost making him faint.    

    

"Look, I told you that you couldn't do it, but you still insisted on acting tough."    

    

Ye Chen said helplessly, "Don't waste any more time. What's the next test? I'll solve it all at once. "    

    

"I think very highly of you."    

    

"Your Majesty, you are very lucky to have such a good official," Huyan said to Sword Emperor.    

    

Ye Chen curled his lips. He did not think he needed his approval.    

    

He said, "You will know how unfortunate it is to meet me in a while. I will become your nightmare.    

    

Besides, I am just an ordinary person. I can't be ranked in the Sword Kingdom. "    

    

Ye Chen knew that he had to give Sword Emperor some face. Otherwise, given the disrespect he had shown just now, perhaps Sword Emperor would come and settle the score with him at any time.    

    

Suddenly, Huyan fell into deep thought.    

    

There was such a thing?    

    

He was surprised, but he didn't show it.    

    

He didn't know much about the Sword Kingdom. If that was the case, then the Sword Kingdom was truly terrifying.    

    

The Sword Kingdom was pretending to be weak. It was possible that they were trying to lure them to attack them. They wanted to have the Holy Blade Kingdom.    

    

It seemed like he would have to go back and have a thorough discussion with the Daosheng.    

    

"Let's proceed to the next stage."    

    

Huyan's eyes moved, and the follower behind him immediately took out a piece of paper.    

    

There were dozens of couplets densely written on the paper.    

    

"Your Sword Kingdom has always been known to be good at national studies. You all think that Sage Kong from the Confucianism is from the Sword Kingdom. But I don't believe it. We have always thought that Sage Kong is a member of the Holy Blade Kingdom. It's just that he has traveled to the Sword Kingdom, that's why you all are able to do such a thing.    

    

There are thirty pairs of couplets here. If you guys can't answer them, it only means that you have accepted the fake inheritance of Sage Kong, and we have obtained the real inheritance. Then Sage Kong is a member of the Holy Blade Kingdom."    

    

Hearing these words, everyone was furious.    

    

This was a twisted theory.    

    

There were many couplets in the world. If he had a couplet that they couldn't answer, they would lose.    

    

Furthermore, they were all important officials of the imperial court, so they did not have time to recite poems.    

    

They were not that good at these things to begin with.    

    

"Your Majesty, I think this challenge is inappropriate. Huyan's words are completely illogical."    

    

"That's right. If we can't match the couplet, Sage Kong won't be ours. The Holy Blade Kingdom won't be able to create the best divine blade in the world. Could it be that the Holy Blade Kingdom is ours as well?"    

    

"We don't agree to your challenge."    

    

Everyone expressed their opinions against Huyan.    

    

However, Huyan wasn't angry at all. All of this was within his expectations.    

    

He didn't need Sage Kong.    

    

His goal was to obtain the divine saber of Sword Kingdom.    

    

The level of weapon crafting of the Holy Blade Kingdom was extremely low. They were simply unable to create a perfect divine saber.    

    

On the contrary, the Sword Kingdom had a divine saber.    

    

This was undoubtedly a great humiliation to them.    

    

Huyan said, "Are you afraid before you even begin? His Majesty, if you matched the couplets, all the people of Holy Blade Kingdom would admit that Sage Kong was from the Sword Kingdom. If you fail, return the divine blade that belonged to the Holy Blade Kingdom to us. "    

    

" What? I have never seen a shameless person like you. That divine saber was personally crafted by the Weapon King of the Sword Kingdom. When did it become something of the Holy Blade Kingdom?"    

    

"I think you are greedy!"    

    

"His Majesty Sword Emperor has yet to speak. What do you want? Is this how you treat foreign ambassadors? Don't tell me you want to start a war? "    

    

Huyan snapped.    

    

All the officials were at a loss for words.    

    

They absolutely could not start a war, or else they would not marry the princess far away to seek peace.    

    

"A bunch of boors."    

    

"If you have the ability, then match the couplets."    

    

"Alright, stop arguing."    

    

Sword Emperor finally spoke, "Alright, I'll agree to your suggestion. However, I request that you not only admit that Sage Kong is from the Sword Kingdom, but also give us the 7-Star Dragon Blade from the Daosheng. What do you think?"    

    

Huyan hesitated.    

    

He was just an envoy, how could he make a decision on his own?    

    

Furthermore, the 7-Star Dragon Blade was the most precious treasure of the Holy Blade Kingdom, how could it be used as a bet?    

    

"You don't dare to bet anymore? He didn't feel embarrassed at all. How about we stop gambling? How about we bet your life? "    

    

Ye Chen suddenly said, and the whole place fell silent.    

    

It was understandable for them to bet on things, but gambling on their lives had escalated to the point where they were enemies.    

    

Ye Chen was truly bold.    

    

"Are you threatening me?"    

    

Huyan looked at him coldly.    

    

"No, but if you insist, then I am threatening you. Do you dare?"    

    

Ye Chen wanted to intensify the conflict between the two countries. Regardless of whether they fought or not, he could not let Nie Yiyun marry that prince.    

    

"Let's bet..."    

    

Before Huyan could finish his words, Sword Emperor frowned and said, "Forget it. Gambling your life will hurt our relationship. Let's just follow the original bet."    

    

"Yes, Your Majesty."    

    

Huyan acted according to the situation and answered respectfully.    

    

However, Ye Chen felt a trace of pity in his heart. Such a good opportunity had been wasted for nothing.    

    

"Coward!"    

    

Ye Chen cursed in a low voice.    

    

"Don't try to use your tongue. It's better to match the couplets first."    

    

Ye Chen glanced at him and said, "Do you know what my previous title was?"    

    

"What?"    

    

"Strongest King."    

    

Ye Chen gave him a casual glance. "It's too simple. I'll leave this to them first, and let them make some contributions."    

    

After that, Ye Chen threw the couplets to the officials.    

    

They all looked at him with gratitude.    

    

They were officials of the two countries, but they could not help at all. This was a kind of incompetence and dereliction of duty.    

    

Ye Chen giving them the simple things had helped them a lot.    

    

However, Sword Emperor transmitted his voice, "This is your mission, but you gave it to someone else. Aren't you a little too idle?"    

    

Ye Chen replied, "You will know in a while. There are two pairs of couplets here. Except for me, no one can match them."    

    

Hearing Ye Chen's confidence, even Sword Emperor was quite angry.    

    

Ye Chen was too confident.    

    

This was the first time Sword Emperor had hoped that the officials would complete their mission. There was actually hope in his eyes.
