Finest Servant

The emperor laughed loudly and said: "What a good Lin San, who has overpowered the beautiful girl of Gaoli and convinced the Turkic national teacher. He is really learned and knowledgeable. Xu Aiqing, you have recommended a great talent for my Dahua."

A smile appeared on Xu Wei's face. With the emperor's award, Lin San's success was just around the corner, although the emperor had already praised him yesterday. Su Mubai's face turned pale when he heard this, and his face became more and more gloomy. King Cheng glanced at him and smiled without saying a word.

The four questions are more than halfway through, Gao Li answered the first question correctly, Turks won the second question, and Lin Wanrong passed both questions. Li Chengcheng and Ashle were both a little nervous, but they didn't expect that a group of advisors from both sides would not be able to match this little Lin San.

The little palace maid Cuiyun took the third envelope and opened it, glanced at it, and said loudly: "The third question is, please turn your head around—"

Everyone turned around in confusion, and suddenly heard the sound of hoofs in the distance, and the ground trembled slightly. Dozens of knights, armed with whips, urged hundreds of horses to rush. These hundred horses are all white hair and white hoofs, as if they were poured out of a mold, and it is impossible to recognize who is the eldest and who is the second.

The strange thing didn't stop there. After the hundred white horses, several more knights came with a group of foals. This group of foals are also pure white, like a flurry of goose feather snow, which makes people feel shocked. Two white horses appeared in front of the crowd, and the horses neighed, one after another, which was truly spectacular.

Cuiyun smiled and said: "Now, there are a hundred white mares and a hundred white foals at the scene, and they are a mother-son relationship. The third question from Princess Nishang, please help the hundred mares in the field to find them. foal."

Lin Wanrong has already answered two questions in a row, and has already learned the tricky and eccentricity of this Princess Nishang. Miss Biedi's recruiting is either Kawen or martial arts, but as a royal princess, she likes these non-literary and non-martial things, which is very strange. This is a game to help the foal find its mother. I don't know how she came up with it. Isn't this deliberately embarrassing?

The Turkic generations were all nomads on the grasslands, and they had a natural understanding of horses. When Princess Nishang asked this question, they all looked happy. When it comes to horses, who else can be more familiar with them? Princess Nishang is clearly helping them secretly.

Lu Dongzan and Ashle whispered and pointed to the surrounding Turkic knights, as if they were allocating tasks. In the Goryeo formation, Xu Gongmaid and Li Zhongcheng discussed with each other, and frowned slightly. It seems like they haven't figured out a way yet.

After Lu Dongzan and Ashle discussed things properly, Xi Xian stood up and said loudly: "This lady in the palace. I have a way of distinguishing the Turks."

Li Chengcheng was startled and hurriedly said a few words to Xu Gongmaiden. Xu Changjin's face became embarrassed, he shook his head slightly, and Li Chengcheng snorted with an ugly face.

Lin Wanrong saw their expressions in his eyes.

Couldn't help but smile, this little prince of Goryeo, except for *woman's idea. It's really hard to find a good point.

Cuiyun nodded and said, "The Turkic envoy, please speak."

Lu Dongzan proudly said: "I have been born in the grasslands of the Turks for generations and have grown up on the back of a horse. I have a unique set of ways to recognize horses and identify horses. Although the number of these hundreds of mares and foals is large, I am a Turkic knight. There are also dozens of people, all of them who are proficient in horses, and one of them finds a mare for ten foals. It is not difficult. We will try this method."

Lin Wanrong understood that it turned out that they were going to use their brute force to match these foals and mares through their own horse skills. This is indeed a way, although, a bit stupid.

During the conversation, dozens of Turkic knights had already galloped away on their horses, and before reaching the hundred horses, each selected ten horses. Exactly ten horses in charge. The Turks are worthy of being a nation on horseback. Their control and mastery of horses and their vision of horses are not comparable to those of Dahua soldiers.

"Driving—" Ten Turkic knights, each driving the foal, rushed towards the mares. They have to rely on their own vision and experience to identify the coat color, color, and shape, and find a matching mother for these foals among hundreds of mares.

Li Tai looked at the Turkic knights with deep worry, sighed for a long time and said, "These Turks are really talented, and when it comes to horsepower, no one can be hostile to them."

He is the number one general of Dahua. This sentence is not light. The emperor said solemnly: "Li Aiqing, in your opinion, is it certain that Dahua will be victorious in sending troops to conquer the Hu people this time?"

Li Tai nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have a walking battalion, a riding battalion, and a Shenji battalion. If the three battalions are properly coordinated, even if the Hu people are invincible in the world, the old ministers can defeat them."

The emperor was relieved, and a smile appeared on his face: "Then tell me again, can you really identify all the foals and mares according to the Turkic method? I don't think it is necessarily the case."

"Your Majesty is wise!" Li Tai said with a smile: "The Turks are a little unsure when they rely on their vision. Experience and vision are important, but there are so many horses that it is not easy for them to tell them apart, the old minister estimates. If they can tell the difference 80% of the time, it’s not bad.”

Under the city, the Goryeo mission became more and more anxious when seeing the Hu people's confident appearance. If the Turks were to win this match, then Goryeo would naturally be eliminated. It's just that they are not good at Soma, and they can't think of a smarter idea for a while. Everyone is anxious, and even Xu Gongmai's face is full of worry.

"Sir!" A soft voice sounded beside Lin Wanrong.

Lin Wanrong was watching how interesting the Turks taming horses, when he heard the words, he turned his head, but saw Xu Changjin's eyes wide open, his pretty face beautiful, standing beside him.

"Oh, Ms. Chang Jin, are you looking for me?" Lin Wanrong smiled.

"Sir, aren't you in a hurry?" Xu Gongnv asked softly, the anxiety in her eyes was clear.

"Urgent? What's the use of urgency?" Lin Wanrong shook his head and said, "The Turks believe in their own vision, so let them go. I only believe in facts."

Listening to what Lord Lin said, he seemed to think that the Turks would not be so smooth. Xu Changjin's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "Your Excellency, do you mean that the Turks are not 100% sure?"

Lin Wanrong glanced at her with a smile, Xu Changjin hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to meet him.

"Xu Gongmai. You came to me, do you want to inquire about the news of the Turks, or do you want to spy on my truth?" Lin Wanrong smiled: "You are too honest, and you are not good at hiding your kind eyes."

Palace Maiden Xu lowered her head and blushed: "My lord, I'm really sorry, on the one hand I want to hear your opinion on the Turks, on the other hand, I want to know if you have come up with a solution. One time to ask for marriage for the prince. For me, Goryeo, it is not just a simple marriage, it is more about my life and death.

Lin Wanrong's heart moved, Xu Changjin said this, the meaning is obvious, someone must be persecuting them. If Hu people marry Dahua. It was never a good thing for Goryeo. However, their national strength was weak, and they could not fight against the Hu people, but looked at the performance of Goryeo. It seems that he has been hesitating all the time, which also proves this from the side. Of course, if Li Chengcheng could marry the princess, it would be equivalent to hugging Dahua's thigh, and the benefits were not ordinary.

"Is the Hu people forcing you? Or is it Dongying?" Lin Wanrong whispered tentatively, his eyes fixed on Xu Gongnv's face.

"I'm sorry for causing you trouble." Xu Gongnv's expression changed, she bowed deeply, and hurriedly turned her head away.

Lin Wanrong shook his head helplessly. This girl is really not a qualified spy. "Da Jang Geum, the Turks can distinguish 80% at most." Master Lin said loudly.

"Sir, what did you say?" Xu Changjin stopped, turned to look at him and said, "Are you so sure?"

"I'm not sure, I want to talk about science." Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "The Turks choose horses based on experience. On the surface, it seems very stable, but they can't escape the theorems of statistics. A Turkic knight has ten foals. Once, he had to pick one out of a hundred mares, and to be sure that he had picked the right one, he had to compare all the hundred mares, that is, the first time he had to compare one. A hundred times. Assuming the first time he picks the right foal to find a mother for the second foal, he will pick ninety-nine times, and so on, ninety-eight times for the third, nine for the fourth Seventeen times, to the tenth, he has to compare it ninety-one times. Oh, isn’t this too complicated, Chang Jin, do you understand?”

Xu Changjin pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "Sir, I understand something. You are right. He has to compare each colt at least ninety times."

"That's right." Lin Wanrong nodded and said, "Such frequent comparisons are boring. Turkic people are also human. Don't they make mistakes? As long as any one of them makes a small mistake, they will find other horses. Colt admits mistakes, which in turn leads to a series of mistakes, and mistakes are cumulative. Ten people cross and make mistakes, darling, that's incredible."

This series of analysis, Xu Changjin seemed to understand but not understand, but Mr. Lin looks like a serious person, but in fact he is more shrewd than anyone else, she nodded and said solemnly: "Sir, thank you, I also believe that Turks do not have ten You can be sure of success. It's your lord—" She paused, and before finishing her words, she bowed to Lin Wanrong and hurriedly turned back to the Goryeo mission.

Over there, Lu Dongzan led dozens of Turkic knights, and they had already started to select mares. The Turks had really vicious eyes, and they reunited five pairs of mothers and sons in a blink of an eye. Lin Wanrong sneered in her heart, what you can see at a glance is of course simple, and it's time for you to scratch your head later.

Koryo's little prince, Li Xiongcheng, glanced at Lin Wanrong, gave Han Shanggong a few words, and hurried over: "Lin Lin, Xiongxiong is polite."

Palace Maiden Xu has just left, what is he doing here? Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "Hello prince, why don't you look at the taming horse, what are you doing here with me?"

Li Chengcheng sighed: "Sir, why do I still have the mood to watch horses. To tell you the truth, bearer came here on the order of the father and king, and must marry Princess Nishang and return to China, but the current situation is the most important to me, Goryeo. It's unfavorable, my lord—" He glanced at Lin Wanrong and hesitated.

Come here, this kid is about to make a trick, Lin Wanrong deliberately frowned and said: "King Gaoli has high expectations for the little prince, and the little prince should work hard. Right now, my Princess Nishang has not yet married, and you still have a lot of money. opportunity."

Li Chengcheng said with a wry smile: "My country in Korea is weak and has few talents. I have to compare with the great talents and the Turkic raptors. It is really hard to compare. Today's princess's family recruitment meeting, we can barely answer a question, and for the latter, it is a little bit. I’m not sure. And Princess Nishang is very important to me, Goryeo. So, I want to ask you to help me—”

"Help? The little prince is joking." The corners of Mr. Lin's mouth were upturned, and his smile was meaningful: "You have a noble status, how can I help you on the ground?"

"Help me, help me." Li Chengcheng hurriedly said: "Before carrying your country in the future, I heard that Mr. Lin is the first bachelor of Dahua, and his reputation is far-reaching. I have been with you these past few days, and I feel more like you. He has broad knowledge and extraordinary talent. He is the most promising young official in Dahua."

Waterfall Khan, when did Lao Tzu become the first bachelor of Dahua, and Lao Xu still has to fight for me? Moreover. When you were in Korea, I was still in Jinshiling, where did you go to hear my name? This Koryo stick's way of flattering is too much, it's not as moving as Dae Jang Geum's smile at me.

"As long as your lord, you will tell Xiongzi how to answer the next question secretly. Xiongxi is willing to give away a thousand pieces of gold, as well as a thousand pieces of silk and satin, and a hundred pieces of agate. I will deliver it to your house in person." The price, thousands of taels of gold, 1,000 pieces of silk and satin, and 100 pieces of agate, is almost comparable to the dowry gift to Princess Nishang. Goryeo really spared no expense in order to marry the princess.

You want to send me off with such a little thing, you treat me like a rich man? Mr. Lin, I am selling brains and ideas. Nothing can be exchanged. Master Lin pretended to ponder: "Well, little prince, you look down on me too much, to tell you the truth, I'm just a small official the size of sesame and mung bean, and my talent is even shallower than that of Mount Jingang, you are sending me Ten thousand taels of gold, I can't ask for it. Lady Xu has taught me last time, and the emperor is so kind to me. How can I accept your things again. No, no! Besides, my family is in business. , don't worry about money."

Your family is doing a shit business, when I didn't ask clearly? You are just a small family member of the Xiao family, a big family in Jinling. You hide from the superior and deceive the inferior and do all kinds of evil. You are just lucky, and you are somehow attracted by the emperor, so you put on a human skin. The Xiao family makes money, and it has a fart relationship with you. You just drink some soup with you. It's a pity that you said it so plausibly. Li Chengcheng hummed secretly, and admired this man's face in addition to admiration.

"My lord, I see that you and Xu Gongmaiden have a very good conversation, and it seems that they are very compatible." Li Chengcheng smiled slightly, and the topic changed. He didn't talk about gold and silver jewelry, but somehow brought it up to Xu Changjin.

Lin Wanrong was stunned for a moment, then nodded generously and said, "Yes, yes, I have heard the name of Chang Jin a long time ago, and I just hit it off with her."

Li Chenggong nodded and said: "Xu Gongnv is a strange woman in my Goryeo. She is sincere and kind, full of love, superb medical skills, more proficient in encyclopedia, outstanding ingenuity, not only won the support of the people, but also won the favor of my father and mother. , at a young age, she became the chief medical woman in the palace, and has a very high reputation among the people and the palace."

What exactly is this kid going to say, Lin Wanrong is even more confused when he sees Li Chengcheng's wholeheartedly talking about Xu Gongmaid.

"Sir," Li Chengcheng's eyes flashed: "You and Xu Gongmaid have a deep friendship. If you like it, I will report to the king and send Xu Changjin to you. What do you think?"

Puff puff, Lord Lin can hear the rapid beating of his heart, give Da Jang Geum to me? Are you not mistaken? The legendary woman of the peninsula, the idol of the Korean people, gave it to me, and massaged the soles of my feet with silver needles every day? What kind of enjoyment is this? lure! Definitely an irresistible temptation! This Li Chengcheng really made a lot of money.

Lin Wanrong looked up at the palace maid Xu in the distance, and saw what she and Han Shanggong were discussing. Her frown, such as snow-covered skin, delicate cheeks, and seductive cherry lips, were full of charm and heart-warming.

It's a pity that you're still doing your best there, but you don't know that your master has sold you. Lin Wanrong slowly shook his head. If it wasn't for this trip related to Qingxuan, Mr. Lin might really think about Li Chengcheng's hard-to-reject proposal.

"Prince Winter, I'm afraid this will not work. I and Xu Gongmaid are friends, and there is no selfishness between men and women. I think you misunderstood." Lin Wanrong said lightly, disgusting Li Chengcheng inexplicably: "As for the matter of recruiting relatives. , I am a person of Dahua, Princess Nishang is an angel of my Dahua, I can't do anything wrong to Dahua, please come back."

Li Chengcheng was stunned for a while. How did this Lord Lin change his face, from a corrupt and bribery official to a deeply patriotic person? He shook his head helplessly and left.

Xu Changjin, I helped you for the first time. But it can't help the second time. I hope your master won't give you to Dongying next time, then you will be too miserable. Lin Wanrong sighed deeply, what about strange women, strange women? It is not the same as escaping a tragic fate.

The Turks moved very fast, and while the two of them were talking, more than 40 pairs of horses had already been matched. Most of the big Chinese were watching the battle in the square. Everyone was emotional when they saw the Turks who were skilled in riding horses. No wonder the Hu people are so sturdy, no one can compare with them only by their ability on horseback.

Pairing comes later. Lin Wanrong's statistical theory is highlighted. A hundred identical white horses and a hundred identical foals can distinguish their bloodlines by the human eye. It is almost impossible to think of a good one. As long as one of them is not sure about a horse. The impact was a series of events. When more than 60 horses were matched, the movements of the Turkic knights became significantly slower. Lu Dongzan and Ashle's expressions gradually became tense. The rest are difficult to study and judge. A horse often needs ten people to discuss and discuss together to match.

As expected by the adults, the Turks were in trouble, Xu Changjin sighed slightly, and glanced at Lin Wanrong secretly, only to see the young Lord Lin staring at hundreds of white horses, dazed, not knowing what he was thinking. .

"Brother Lu!" Lu Dongzan was busy sweating all over. But I saw Lin Wanrong come up: "Is it more difficult the later you go?"

As a Turkic national teacher, Lu Dongzan naturally had a broad mind. Hearing the words, he smiled and said, "Yes, it is difficult to distinguish this horse when it arrives at the back, so it will take more time."

Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "You don't have to work so hard. My brother has come up with a simple solution. This lady in the palace, can I try it?"

Lu Dongzan glanced at Lin Wanrong in surprise. It was what he saw with his own eyes that Master Lin won two rounds in a row. If he broke it again, Master Lin would really be a genius.

The little palace maid Cuiyun said: "Of course. Lord Ludongzan, you have already matched sixty-five pairs, and it took an hour. If this Lord Lin has matched more than you in one hour, then he will be counted as him. How do you feel about winning?"

Lu Dongzan nodded and said, "This method is advisable. Lord Lin, look at you."

With a wave of Cuiyun's hand, the more than sixty mares and foals that were successfully paired were pulled down together, and then more than sixty white horses and foals were sent to mix in. The snow-white horses and foals neighed together, like spring thunder, shocking the eardrums.

Lin Wanrong entered the group of foals, slowly stroked the soft mane of a foal, and asked the knight who was feeding him, "Brother, these purebred white horses must be very laborious to feed."

The knight nodded and said, "These are pure-bred Dawan horses. They are huge in size, run fast, and need to be fed very carefully. They should be fed with good feed once an hour, and one horse is one trough. Two horses must not be troughed together. Now these nearly 200 horses have been waiting for almost two hours, and the foals are screaming from hunger."

As I expected, Lin Wanrong smiled slightly, walked up to the crowd, and said loudly: "Brothers, bring the feed up first, and feed these mother horses a good meal."

The knight who sent the horse was feeding the white-horse groom. Hearing what Mr. Lin said, he was right in his heart. He immediately sent over a hundred mangers with good feed, and the mare immediately lowered its head and chewed it.

The foal was already hungry, and when it saw that there was some feed, but it couldn't eat it, it became a little noisy, and the hooves kicked and jumped into a ball.

Lin Wanrong nodded and said, "Brothers, please put a bite on the foal."

The mouth chew is a cage made of bamboo, which is placed on the horse's mouth and is specially used to prevent mules and horses from stealing food. It was the first time everyone had heard of this Dawan purebred white horse, but since Lord Lin said it, the knights followed suit.

The mouth was locked, and the foal was even more impatient, and a few of them were running around uncontrollably. Everyone looked at Lin Wanrong's every move curiously, and didn't understand what he was going to do.

"Brothers, what I said next, you must do what I said, but don't be reluctant to start." Lin Wanrong said sternly: "Pull the mare and let them stop there. At the same time, pick up the whip in your hands. , smack these foals hard and drive them away, as far as possible."

"This—" The knights were stunned for a moment. These foals were cultivated and even delivered by their own hands, so they were naturally reluctant to start.

Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "I don't want to fight, so let's pretend a few times, but it must be realistic, and the pony must be scared, understand?"

"Understood!" Several knights waved their whips fiercely, waving them in the air a few times, and the thunderclap roared. The restless foals were immediately startled and neighed and ran out.

The knights roared and frightened, and drove the foal away. The mares who had been eating peacefully immediately became restless, looking at the foal galloping into the distance, bursts of sad neighing, and their eyes were very sharp. is bleak.

"Understood, I understand." Li Tai on the tower looked happy and shouted loudly.

The emperor asked curiously, "Li Aiqing, what do you understand?"

"Your Majesty, this Lin San is a strange man, very resourceful and resourceful!" Li Tai said excitedly.

At the same time, Lu Dongzan in the field also changed his face, looking at Lin San, who was smiling and said nothing, he was stunned for a while, before he murmured: "With this one person in Dahua, it is enough to equal 100,000 lions. ."

Ashle said in shock: "It's worth 100,000 lions? You mean Lin San? Lu Dongzan, how is this possible? He is greedy and lustful, how can he be so powerful?"

Lu Dongzan said with a wry smile: "I don't want to believe it either. I hope that the two countries in Japan will meet in battle, and I will not meet him on the battlefield."

"Come back, come back!" The crowd exclaimed for a while, and saw hundreds of foals running wildly in the distance, with the knights chasing after them. The foal was frightened and ran straight towards the mares. Hundreds of mares wailed and neighed in unison.

Hundreds of foals rushed to the mares, and they found a mare quickly and spontaneously, screaming constantly, the panic in their eyes has not faded, and they longed for comfort. A hundred mares, a hundred foals, quickly paired.

The mare desperately used her mouth to hold the bit on the foal's mouth, trying to untie them. Lin Wanrong sighed deeply: "Mother and son are inherently separate, who can be separated? Untie the bit."

The knights loosened the shackles for the foal, and at the same time opened the horse's hoof. It turned out that the number of the horse was written on the hoof. One mother and one son were exactly the same.

Xu Changjin stared blankly, and when he heard Lin Wanrong's words, he didn't know what it was like. He opened his mouth slightly and muttered: "You are not as good as horses! Sir, you are so right, what kind of person are you? people?"

The crowd cheered violently. The young Lord Lin broke three questions in the blink of an eye, not only defeated Gaoli, but also defeated the mighty Hu people. It was unbelievable. Dahua has this countryman, why worry about the injustice?

"Lin San, Lin San! What would you like to call me?" The emperor murmured, his eyes flashing, his thoughts moved, and he was embarrassed!
