Chapter 82: Cut off the beginning and end, piece it together

"Miss Ruoshuang, why are you here? Aren't you going to participate in a martial arts competition?"

Zhao Chen was a little surprised to see Li Ruoshuang here.

The day before yesterday, Li Ruoshuang also told herself that she would participate in the martial arts competition at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet tonight.

At this time, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet should not be over yet.

Why is she here?

"Well, my father wrote a letter and asked me not to participate in any martial arts competition. When he comes back to Chang'an City, he will personally ask Your Majesty to allow me to command the Detachment of Women." Li Ruoshuang sighed and said slowly.

His expression didn't seem as happy as Zhao Chen thought.

"General Li is coming back?" Zhao Chen asked casually.

Is the battle between Xindao Frontline and Tuyuhun coming to an end?

Otherwise, Li Jing would not have the time to come back at this time!

"It's almost time. I think I'll be here in Chang'an City before next year!" Li Ruoshuang nodded and glanced at Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu who were beside Zhao Chen.

"You two, what happened today is like that!" Li Ruoshuang said lightly.

"Hey, sister-in-law...sister, we made a special trip to accompany Zhao Chen to play today. Look, my brother solved the first lantern riddle in just a few breaths. It's amazing!" Cheng Chumo just thought. Called Li Ruoshuang sister-in-law, she immediately changed her tune after seeing Li Ruoshuang's unkind look.

But it was about Zhao Chen solving the first lantern riddle.

"Zhao Chen, have you solved the first lantern riddle in this row?" Li Ruoshuang's beautiful eyes flashed with surprise as she looked at Zhao Chen.

"Hey, how are you? Isn't my brother particularly powerful?"

"Let me tell you, I solved it in just a few breaths, and the process of solving the puzzle was explained clearly." Qin Huaiyu said with a proud look on his face.

It seemed that he had solved the first lantern riddle.

"This row of lantern riddles is the most difficult. If I remember correctly, no one has ever solved the first riddle in this row!"

\u003e "Zhao Chen, you are so awesome." Li Ruoshuang looked at Zhao Chen with piercing eyes, and his shock was beyond words.

"It's just a coincidence." Zhao Chen just smiled.

His humble act made Li Ruoshuang feel that Zhao Chen was much more steady than Cheng Chumo and others.

"Mr. Zhao, if you try to solve these puzzles again, if you are lucky, you might be able to take away the lantern worth a hundred gold!" The old man said when he saw that Zhao Chen and others were almost chatting.

He also looked forward to how many lantern riddles Zhao Chen would solve if he kept solving them.

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu also looked at Zhao Chen with bright eyes.

If Zhao Chen really solves all the lantern riddles, they will have capital to brag about.

"Zhao Chen, since you have nothing to do, why not continue?" Li Ruoshuang was also persuading Zhao Chen.

She is extremely curious about Zhao Chen now.

In Li Ruoshuang's eyes, Zhao Chen was full of secrets, which she couldn't help but want to explore.

"Okay, I'm just here for fun, so let's take a look at the back." Zhao Chen said with a smile.

Each lantern has a riddle, and each lantern is more than two meters apart.

Everyone moved forward and walked to the second lantern riddle.

Then I saw it said "Don't worry if you don't get close to fireworks".

"Zhao Chen, what's the solution to this mystery?" Li Ruoshuang looked at the lantern riddle in front of her and pondered for a while, but couldn't figure it out, so she looked at Zhao Chen.

Li Ruoshuang doesn't like red makeup and prefers weapons, and she has no talent for guessing lantern riddles.

This is even more true for Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu who are behind them.

After looking at it for a long time, I almost lost all my hair, and I couldn't think of a reason.

"Riddles and riddles, words

Mysteries are the best to solve. "Zhao Chen smiled lightly and said to the three of them.

Several people pricked up their ears, waiting for Zhao Chen's next words.

"Pinch off the beginning and end, and piece it together here and there. That's the trick to guessing crossword puzzles." Zhao Chen explained.

"Oh? I dare to ask Mr. Zhao, what does it mean to cut off the head and tail and piece everything together?" The old man from before had been following a few people. Hearing Zhao Chen's words, he was full of curiosity and couldn't help but ask.

"The so-called cutting off the beginning and the end means eliminating the interfering parts of the puzzle. Just like the fireworks, don't get close to them. Don't get close to the fireworks. Don't get the fire. Don't get the smoke. Don't get the fire. What's left?"

"The remaining reasons are." Cheng Chumo quickly continued.

Although he had never read any books, Cheng Chumo still knew common words.

"That's right, it's just the reason that's left. If you piece it together again, you can rest assured. Where do you put your heart?" Zhao Chen looked at the people around him and asked with a smile.

"Don't worry, my heart is always with the cause. Could it be that the answer to the riddle is the word grace?" Li Ruoshuang muttered a few words, and suddenly her beautiful eyes lit up, and she looked a little excited.

"Young master, you are so talented. Such a difficult lantern riddle was solved so easily by your master."

"Yes, the answer to the second lantern riddle is the word grace!" The old man cupped his hands towards Zhao Chen and said slowly.

"The elder's words are serious, I'm just making a casual guess." Zhao Chen helped the old man up and said with a smile.

Zhao Chen firmly believed that being greeted like this by an old man who was several times older than him would shorten his life.

"Hahaha, brother, you are so awesome. You can guess right. We must take the lantern home today!" Cheng Chumo grabbed Zhao Chen's arm excitedly, and laughed proudly. attracted the attention of other rows of lantern riddle guessers.

"Why is it so accurate? Someone is guessing the most difficult row of lantern riddles?"

"It seems like this. The voice just now seemed to say that someone

Guess it! "

"That is the most difficult row of lantern riddles. No one has even guessed the first riddle correctly. How could anyone guess it correctly every time in a row?"

"When I came here just now, I saw a few dissatisfied young men going in. Could it be them?"

"Young man? How is that possible?"

The people in Chang'an City who heard Cheng Chumo's voice started talking in low voices.

Some people have already walked towards Zhao Chen's row of lanterns.

…

"hiss--"

In the square outside Tai Chi Hall, Wang Ji suddenly gasped, which was extremely loud in the silent night.

"Elder, what's wrong? Why don't you read this poem?" Li Shimin was worried that he would be laughed at by Wang Ji.

Suddenly hearing the sound of Wang Ji taking a breath, Li Shimin was also stunned.

Immediately, with an inexplicable joy in his heart, he turned back to look at Queen Changsun and saw that she was also looking at him.

"Your Majesty, it's okay!" Queen Changsun said with a chuckle.

"Yes, it's okay!" Li Shimin nodded, with strong confidence in his eyes.

"Uncle, what happened?" Fang Xuanling stood up and walked towards Wang Ji.

After all, he is his uncle, and he is here to help the prince Li Chengqian.

After all, he was also a member of the channel together with Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling was a little worried, maybe something happened.

"Uncle Master, Your Majesty asked you to read... hiss——"

Before Fang Xuanling finished speaking, everyone heard a gasp that was louder than Wang Ji's and spread across the square.

Fang Xuanling's face was full of shock, and people close to him could even see the corners of his mouth trembling slightly.

What's going on, Fang Xiang?
