Chapter 187: Make Emperor Xuanwu kneel down and kowtow? ? ?

"Since you keep saying that Princess Saint Ann did hide the last line of the poem in this shabby courtyard, why don't I make a bet with you?"

After all, Xianting is a joint property of His Majesty and Princess Saint Ann.
Ji Yongxing and the others dared to talk about Yun Shu behind her back, but they didn't dare to really make any big noise in Xianting.

But it’s a different story if it’s a bet. You have to accept the loss. Even if His Majesty comes, there’s nothing much to say!
Ji Yongxing sneered and deliberately raised his voice a few notches:
"If you can find the answer to the last line of that poem here today, I will apologize to you in public.

But if you can't find it, you must kneel down and kowtow to this young master to apologize, and shout three times in public, you are a stupid dog who only knows how to please Princess Saint Ann! "

"..."

Li Dehai, who accompanied Emperor Xuanwu out of the palace to relax, almost buried his head in his stomach at this moment -

He made His Majesty kowtow and apologize, and even admitted in public that he was a dog...

What the hell is this guy talking about?
This is the first time that Li Dehai has encountered such a situation after serving Emperor Xuanwu for so many years. He now wishes he could open Ji Yongxing's brain to see what's inside that height-increasing thing of his!
Li Dehai didn't even dare to breathe.
On the other side, several young masters from aristocratic families who were with Ji Yongxing were still making a scene without knowing the consequences:
"Why aren't you talking? Are you afraid?"

"You just said so confidently that Princess Saint Ann must have hidden the answer in this courtyard, why are you silent now?
Are you afraid to kneel down and kowtow to us to apologize, or are you afraid to admit that you are Princess Saint Ann's dog?"

"Why don't you dare?"

Emperor Xuanwu laughed out of anger:

“I just think the stakes seem a little unfair.

How about this, if I lose, everything will be as you say,
But if I win, you will also have to kneel down and kowtow to apologize to me, and shout three times in public, you are ignorant and stupid, you are just jealous of Princess Saint Ann's talent, so you maliciously slander her!"

"Just you..."

The young masters of the aristocratic families were used to being arrogant and condescending. When they heard that the "poor students" dared to make such a request, two of them couldn't help but get angry.
But he was stopped in time by Ji Yongxing:
"Didn't he just expect that we wouldn't agree to his wishful thinking and wanted to get out of this bet?
We have to agree to him!"

"That's right!"

The few young masters from the noble families who reacted quickly nodded in agreement:
"We agreed! Everyone here is a witness!"

Yun Shu who happened to be there: "???"

Yun Chuhuan who was also present: "..."

"Fifth sister!"

Avoiding Ji Yongtian, who was still excitedly watching the show, Yun Chuhuan secretly pulled Yun Shu's cloak and said in a low voice:
"Why do I feel that person is like my father?"

Yun Shu: “…”

Okay, even Yun Chuhuan could see the resemblance, so those people are undoubtedly Emperor Xuanwu!

Brother Ji Yongtian is really good at courting death!

It turns out that Marquis Xuanping's vision is really bad.

As Yun Shu sighed, he quickly thought about how to give a hint without making any noise.

If Ji Yongxing and his team really win...

The consequences are so exciting to think about!

Otherwise, let Yun Chuhuan or Ji Yongtian...

Never mind, neither of these two are reliable.

Let's just wait and see, and then find a waiter to act as a babysitter when there's a chance.

Yun Shu was still thinking about how to arrange an unintentional plot.

Over there, Emperor Xuanwu's eyes had already fallen on the lanterns hanging all over the yard.

"You don't think the clues could be hidden in these lanterns?"

Maybe it's because everyone is wearing masks and cloaks, and if you're not paying attention you can disappear in the crowd and it's hard to find them.
Ji Yongxing and his companions were afraid that this "ignorant old man from a poor family" would escape in this way.

He followed closely throughout the process, and occasionally made sarcastic remarks: "Do you think it will be so easy?"

Emperor Xuanwu ignored them and casually turned the lantern with a puppy painted on it that was closest to him.
There was only one sentence on the note below:

[The smoke clears and the sun rises, but no one is left]

The answer to the riddle is "fire". This question is not difficult to guess, but at the moment, it seems to have little to do with the answer to the last sentence of the poem.

"How's it going? Did you figure out anything?"

Mr. Li, who was following Ji Yongxing, sneered:
"Do you need me to tell you the answer?

It's not difficult, as long as you call me daddy, it will be fine!"

"Ah... Dad?"

Yun Chuhuan was stunned:
"He's going to heaven!"

“It’s really a bit excessive.”

Ji Yongtian, who was standing by, heard this and nodded in agreement, but then became a little confused:

“But what does this have to do with God?”

"What do you know, you big fool?"

Being extremely vindictive, he changed Ji Yongtian's previous words to him, "What does a little brat know?" a little bit, and responded to him.

Yun Chuhuan raised his elbow and nudged Yun Shu:
"Well...he shouldn't lose, right?"

"Can't lose."

The only difference is whether my father won on his own or with her help.

Yun Shu blinked. As Ji Yongtian was still there, she couldn't say much.
Fortunately, Yun Chuhuan knew her identity, and she said something to put him at ease:
"That's good. If I lose, it will be such a disgrace to me!"

Yun Shu: “……?”

Ji Yongtian: “???”

"You guys know that guy?"

Ji Yongtian felt like he had just eaten something big:

"Isn't he your eldest brother?"

"Do not……"

"Yeah yeah!"

Super double, the opportunity to be brothers with the emperor is not common, Yun Chuhuan nodded quickly,

He was afraid that if he was a little slower, Yun Shu would deny him this opportunity.

Yun Shu: “…”

Forget it, this kid has been a naughty kid for a while.

Seeing that Yun Chuhuan had excitedly started chatting with Ji Yongtian about his "big brother", Yun Shu silently turned his eyes away and continued to stare at the situation over there with Emperor Xuanwu.

Unlike Yun Chuhuan who was startled and uncalm, Emperor Xuanwu ignored the unreasonable demands of the young master of the Li family.

He just looked calmly at another lantern with a painting of a horse.

It is still a simple line of poetry, but this time the answer is "people".

The riddles of poems and verses on the lanterns at the back are of varying difficulty and ease, and the patterns on the lanterns are also very rich.
There were raccoons, foxes, tigers, wolves, sheep, cows, and even dragons, phoenixes, unicorns, and the emblem of the Tiansheng royal family, as well as some messy and strange patterns that were difficult to understand.

As for the answers to the riddles, they seem to have no connection at all and cannot be connected into a complete sentence, let alone a poem.
