Chapter 1321
"Boom!"
Looking at the paper that Liu Cong took down heavily, the fat man could not help but be slightly stunned, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.
He didn't expect that the other party could actually answer it.
The third puzzle is much more difficult than the previous two puzzles.
You must know that the word "醢" itself is a rare word, and few people know it, let alone write it.
It is even more difficult to guess this rare word based on the riddle.
When he first got this question, he thought no one could answer it and he planned to cancel it.
In the end, it was Liu Cong, who was clueless, who answered first, which was really surprising.
It seems that there should be an expert's guidance behind the other party.
"Shopkeeper Chen, what are you doing standing still? Tell me something cool, is this the right word?" Liu Cong urged.
I was full of confidence at first, but when I saw the fat white man's expression was different, I became nervous again for no reason.
"Young Master Liu, I advise you to stop struggling. Just look at Shopkeeper Chen's face and you will know that you must be wrong again this time." Yin Tao teased.
"If you don't have the ability, go down early and don't embarrass yourself here!"
A group of dignitaries and dignitaries in the audience started to cheer.
"Isn't it wrong again?"
Liu Cong frowned slightly, his face a little confused.
"Huh! It's all nonsense, but it's wrong in the end? If I had known better, I shouldn't have believed you!" Liu Xiangsi glared at Lu Chen fiercely.
How could a guy who was inferior to himself be able to answer such a difficult riddle?
"Don't misunderstand me."
After reacting, the fat man quickly said: "Young Master Liu did not answer wrongly. On the contrary, he answered it very correctly. The answer to the third question is indeed the word '醢'."
"What? Correct answer?"
As soon as these words came out, the smile on Yin Tao's face froze instantly.
The dignitaries who had just made a fuss were all looking at each other in confusion at this moment.
As for Liu Xiangsi, when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them hard.
"Shopkeeper Chen, are you not mistaken? How can these stupid people answer this question correctly?" Yin Tao couldn't believe it.
Even the talented person she hired at a high price couldn't answer for a while, let alone Liu Xiangsi and Liu Cong?
"I saw it clearly, and there is no mistake. Mr. Liu really got the answer right." The fat white man nodded slightly.
"Then tell me, what word did he answer?" Yin Tao asked.
"It's the word '醢'."
The fat white man clearly displayed the words written by Liu Cong in front of everyone.
After reading it, many people suddenly nodded and agreed.
"Is that the word?"
Yin Tao glanced at the scroll man next to her and asked.
"One to the right and one to the west, three square rooms standing to the southeast, with 'right' and 'west'. The three bungalows correspond to the pictographic character 'plate'. The answer to the character '醢' is so correct that even I didn't think of it.
"The bookish man commented.
"It shouldn't be"
Yin Tao frowned: "Liu Xiangsi, that woman, has a good eye but a low hand, and has no ability. How can she solve such a difficult puzzle? Could it be that there is someone else helping her?"
As she spoke, her eyes swept over them one by one, and finally settled on Lu Chen.
Because compared to the surprise and astonishment of the people around him, the other party acted very calmly, as if he had expected it.
"Hahaha, you got it right, you got it right, I finally got it right!" Liu Cong was very excited.
His mistakes in the first two questions made him lose face and made him a laughing stock.
With this third question, I finally regained some face.
"Xiao Lu, I didn't expect you could even guess lantern riddles, that's amazing!" Liu Gongquan gave a thumbs up.
This kid is really capable of both literary and military skills and is versatile.
"I read a lot of books, and if I know everything, it's nothing." Lu Chen smiled lightly.
"Brother Lu, please stop being modest. It was thanks to you just now. Otherwise, we would have lost again." Liu Cong returned to his seat with a smile.
