Shaohua is Junqing

Chapter 178

"I and all of you understand your country's sincerity. I will discuss the conditions you proposed with you. I'm afraid you will have to wait a little longer."

"My king also knows that your country is sincere in negotiating with us and wants our two countries to live in peace forever. My king said that if your country can help us solve a problem, then everything will be easy for the peace talks."

"What is the problem?"

The Tuhun envoy waved his hand, and his followers came forward, holding a tray covered with a red cloth.

The messenger lifted the red cloth, and a string of pure white and crystal clear jade rings appeared in front of everyone.

"This is our country's sacred object - the Nine-Linked Jade Rings. These Nine-Linked Rings were given to us by the Saint of Qishan when our country was founded. According to the Saint, as long as we can unlock these Nine-Linked Rings, she can ensure that Tuhun will prosper for a hundred years."

"Has anyone in your country solved it?" Beitang Mo Ran asked.

"Not yet. My king has long heard that China has many talented young people. This time he came to negotiate and specifically ordered me to bring our sacred object. He hopes that the young talents and talented people in your country can help unlock it."

Eunuch Zhou presented the Nine Rings to the emperor.

The emperor fiddled with it in his hands for a while, but had no clue and could not solve it.

"My dear ministers, please take a look at this nine-ring chain."

Eunuch Zhou handed the nine linked rings to the ministers below. They passed it around and fiddled with it one by one, but they all shook their heads, indicating that they could not solve it.

When the envoy of Tuhun Kingdom saw this situation, he couldn't help feeling a little proud, thinking that you are no better than this.

When Siyu saw the nine-ring chain of white jade, she laughed. She wanted to use it to stump us, but unfortunately she hit the gun.

Seeing that everyone in the palace, including Beitang Mo Ran, was at a loss as to how to deal with the Nine-Ring Chain, Si Yu said, "Your Majesty, can you let me have a try?"

"Can Shaohua solve the problem?" The emperor's tone contained a hint of surprise and anticipation.

“You won’t know until you try it.”

Siyu took the Nine Rings in her hand and looked at it. It was the same as the one she had played before, so the solution was the same.

Siyu was seen holding the handle with her left hand and turning the jade rings back and forth with the fingers of her right hand. In less than a cup of tea, she had untied the three jade rings.

Everyone present was stunned to see Siyu untied several jade rings so quickly, and then they started talking about it. Most of them praised Siyu for her intelligence, quick mind, and dexterity.

The envoy from Tuhun was also shocked when he saw it, but he quickly returned to normal, because the difficulty of the first three rings was not high, and someone in Tuhun had solved it before. It was just that the difficulty increased towards the end, and it was not so easy to solve it.

Siyu untied the three jade rings and was in a good mood, as if she had found back the fun of playing the nine-ring puzzle. She didn't care what expressions or words others had, she just focused on untying the nine-ring puzzle.

After removing the first three rings, you can use the fourth ring to remove the fifth ring. The fourth ring is still on the pole. Next, you need to remove the first four rings before you can use the sixth ring to remove the seventh ring. And so on, remove the first seven rings.

At this time, only the eighth and ninth rings are left on the pole. Use the eighth ring to untie the ninth ring, then push forward from it, put the seventh ring back on to remove the eighth ring, until all the rings are finally removed from the pole.

This process took a lot of time. After about a quarter of an hour (about 45 minutes), Siyu had untied all nine rings.

"Your Majesty, I have untied them." Siyu said happily. She held the jade rod in her left hand and the nine jade rings in her right hand, motioning them to show the emperor.

"It's really been solved. Show it to me now."

Eunuch Zhou took the Nine Rings from Siyu and handed them to the emperor. The emperor looked at it left and right in his hands, and was very excited.
