Professional Match This Time
Gu Hao's expression was rather strange.
For a moment, he couldn't tell if Qin Qiong was praising Xiao Yu, the Duke of Song, for being righteous or mocking Xiao Yu for betraying his friends for glory.
However, one thing was certain:
That embroidered-robed brat was indeed a Turkic spy.
"Since everything is in General Qin's hands, I won't ask any more questions.”
Gu Hao said.
This is a matter of the Turks. It's better to participate less.
Moreover, he was only a lecturer now. Even if he wanted to participate, he was not qualified.
"Aren't you curious about that kid's identity?”Qin Qiong raised her eyebrows and asked.
"I'm not interested, and I don't want to know." Gu Hao shook his head.”
The more he knew about this, the more troublesome it would be.
Qin Qiong nodded and said,"That's right. You know when to advance and when to retreat."”
Gu Hao laughed and was about to leave when Qin Qiong said,""I can't drink because of official business.
Leave me ten jars of each of these three types of wine.”
“………”
Gu Hao's face darkened.
"I don't want this kind of crystal cup. Give me the one on the high platform.”Qin Qiong said.
"Hehe!" Gu Hao said.
"Your smile is very forced. Are you unwilling?" Qin Qiong raised her eyebrows and said.”
"How could that be? My smile is clearly very bright." After Gu Hao finished speaking, he pulled up the corners of his mouth with both hands and made a 'Zhou Xingxing' smile.
"Hmph, I won't let you down by giving me some wine.”Qin Qiong snorted.
Gu Hao's heart stirred.
Was Old Qin trying to be friendly with him?
However, this way of expressing goodwill was a little too impolite.
Gu Hao cursed.
"Lord Gu, it's about time to end.”
At this moment, the Minister of Rites, Tang Jian, staggered over with a ruddy face.
He drank quite a bit.
"Before the Empress left, she instructed me and the Ministry of Rites to send the Western Regions 'diplomatic mission back." Gu Hao stood up and said.”
"Alright, I'll do it. Then let's go together." Tang Jian said.
"Let's go." Qin Qiong stood up and said.”
Then, the three of them came to the seats of the Western Regions 'diplomatic mission.
At this moment, nearly half of the envoys from the Western Regions were drunk.
Obviously, they were also greedy for the strong wine brewed by Gu Hao.
"Everyone, are you satisfied with this bonfire banquet?”
Tang Jian asked with a smile.
" I'm satisfied, I'm very satisfied." A middle-aged man hurriedly stood up, a smile on his face as he spoke fluently in the official language of the Great Tang.
Tang Jian glanced around and smiled." You should all be done eating. I'll send you back to Honglu Guest House with the champion."”
"Alright, alright."
The middle-aged man replied.
The group of envoys stood up one after another, and many of them supported their companions.
“………”
The young man in embroidered clothes sitting next to Duke Xiao Yu of Song heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Qin Qiong lead a team of Golden Guards to escort the envoy from the Western Regions away.
Grandfather, let's go too."
The young man sighed.
He was a little dispirited.
He had thought that he would be able to watch the Great Tang make a fool of itself, but in the end, he had become the biggest joke.
Even though no one was paying attention to him, he could not bear such humiliation.
"Gu Hao!"
A cold light flashed in the eyes of the young man.
His plans were all ruined by this top scholar!
"I've always wanted to ask you, is my sister okay?”Xiao Yu took a sip of wine and asked softly.
The young man in embroidered clothes paused and smiled."Grandmother is in good health. If you see her, you will definitely be amazed.”
"Oh? Why?" Xiao Yu looked at the young man.
"Grandmother is a little older than you, but she looks like an 18-year-old girl." The young man sighed.”
A beautiful image appeared in Xiao Yu's mind.
"Sister does have a way to keep her face."
Xiao Yu drank another cup of wine.
"Grandmother is proficient in pharmacology and is very good at conditioning her body. You don't have to worry about her.”The young man in embroidered clothes said.
"Does she know you're here?" Xiao Yu asked.”
The young man in embroidered clothes paused for a moment and smiled.""If she didn't know, why would she ask me to send you a message?”
"What do you think of the Great Tang?" Xiao Yu asked.”
"Grandfather, you're drunk." The young man in embroidered clothes frowned and said indifferently.”
"Maybe," said Xiao Yu.
The young man in embroidered clothes frowned. He suddenly had a bad feeling.
"You are very smart. If you were born twenty years earlier, you might have a place in this world.”Xiao Yu looked at the young man in embroidered clothes and slowly said," It's a pity that the Tang Empire is now under the control of His Majesty. His Majesty is a hero of a generation, and his power has been established. No small fry can stir up trouble.”
"Grandfather, what do you mean by that?”The young man's face stiffened.
"The Great Sui is dead," said Xiao Yu.
The young man's expression changed drastically.
"My sister mentioned in her letter that she hoped I could help you," Xiao Yu said."She didn't ask me to help you cause chaos in the Great Tang, but to help you face reality."
The Sui Dynasty had fallen, and the Great Tang had risen!
Even if the Great Tang were to perish like the Sui Dynasty one day, the Sui Dynasty would not be able to restore it.
Now that you are the only direct descendant of the Sui Dynasty's royal family, it is understandable that you want to restore the Sui Dynasty.
But you don't have the chance.
You don't have any of these three things.”
"I thought you would help me on account of Grandmother!”
The young man in embroidered clothes said viciously.
His heart sank to the bottom of the valley.
Extremely resentful!
There were two Golden Guards surrounding him with cold expressions.
Xiao Yu shook his head and said,"Don't worry. You won't die. I'll protect you even if I have to risk my life."”
"Hypocrite, shameless!" The young man in embroidered clothes shouted," I was wrong about you, and Grandmother was wrong about you!”
“………”
Xiao Yu sighed as he watched the young man in embroidered clothes leave.
He poured himself a glass of hard liquor.
He drank it all in one gulp!
He needed to get drunk to numb himself and reduce his longing for his sister.
On the other side.
Gu Hao followed Tang Jian and the others to send the Western Region diplomatic mission back to Honglu Guest House.
Along the way, several envoys surrounded Gu Hao, eager and attentive.
Gu Hao was a little excited.
He thought that although they were all barbarians, they had good taste.
After entering the Honglu Guest House and sending the envoys back to their rooms, Gu Hao was about to leave with Tang Jian and the others when the Cheshi Kingdom's envoy walked out of the room with a wine bag and stopped Gu Hao.
"Scholar, we drank the wine you brewed. Come and taste the wine brewed by our Cheshi Kingdom.”
The Cheshi Nation's envoy's face was flushed red. He pulled Gu Hao and handed the wine bag to Gu Hao as he spoke with enthusiasm.
"This…"
Gu Hao looked troubled.
"What's wrong? The top scholar doesn't like our Cheshi Kingdom's wine?”
The Cheshi Nation's envoy frowned and his tone was slightly unfriendly.
"No…"
Gu Hao laughed dryly.
He did not look down on the fine wine of the Cheshi Kingdom.
However, he was a little disgusted by the wine bag in the Cheshi Kingdom envoy's hand.
Based on his estimation, someone must have drunk directly from the wine bag.
Especially when he saw the envoy's slightly yellowish teeth, Gu Hao was even less interested in drinking with him.
"Go get me a cup."
Gu Hao instructed.
Looking at the other party's appearance, it was obvious that he was drunk.
It was not a good time to refuse, or else it might be another small diplomatic dispute.
Not long after…
A cup of 'white' wine appeared in Gu Hao's hand.
White, the white of milk.
"This is our Cheshi Kingdom's unique white wine.”The Cheshi envoy introduced enthusiastically," The wine is mixed with milk. The texture is mellow and fragrant, and the aftertaste is endless. Top Scholar, try it."”
Gu Hao's eyelids twitched.
Can wine be mixed with milk?
He closed his eyes.
He drank it all in one go.
Gu Hao's eyes were filled with surprise.
It was actually quite delicious.
The texture was thick and mellow.
"Not bad."
Gu Hao commented.
"Then, are you interested in drinking a few more cups?”
The Cheshi Nation's envoy asked with a smile.
Gu Hao raised his eyebrows slightly.
Was this person trying to get him drunk and get him to know how to make the glass?
"It's getting late. Everyone should rest early.”
Tang Jian said.
He also saw through the intentions of the mastermind of the Cheshi Kingdom.
Gu Hao didn't say anything. He glanced at the Cheshi Kingdom's leader.
Did this old man really think that he could get his secrets out of me by forcing me to drink a few glasses of wine?
"I heard that the top scholar is the smartest person in the Great Tang. I wonder if he dares to compete with the smartest person in my Cheshi Kingdom?”
The Cheshi Nation's envoy said leisurely.
"Competition? Is there still a prize?"
Gu Hao smiled faintly.
So this was the old man's true goal.
"Lottery?" The Cheshi Nation's envoy took a while to understand what the 'prize' meant. He nodded and said," I want the method to make the crystal cup.”
"Hmm?"
Gu Hao, Tang Jian, Qin Qiong, and the others all looked at the Cheshi Kingdom's mastermind.
Was he that direct?
The Cheshi Nation's envoy said calmly,"Our Cheshi Nation has always been straightforward and doesn't like to beat around the bush.
If you can defeat the smartest person in our Cheshi Kingdom, then our Cheshi Kingdom will definitely not have any ideas about the crystal cup in the future.”
"What do you want to compete in?" Qin Qiong asked in a deep voice.
"We don't speak the same language, so we can't compete in poetry.
Only music and mathematics could compete fairly.
It was difficult to judge the quality of the music.
So, let's compete in mathematics."
"Arithmetic?"
The Great Tang soldiers were all stunned.
Gu Hao's gaze turned strange.
Arithmetic was the name of ancient mathematics.
Competing in mathematics with a future engineering PhD student like him?
Do you guys know how to come up with a differential equation?
Do you know what the Lagrange mean value theorem is?
Do you even know how to multiply?
Gu Hao's eyes were naturally filled with contempt.
It couldn't be helped. This time, the profession was really suitable.
Mathematics was the foundation of all engineering subjects.
It was compulsory!
Tang Jian and Qin Qiong looked at Gu Hao, seeking his opinion.
"Arithmetic…can be compared. How do you want to compare?" Gu Hao smiled faintly.”

It was already 120,000 words. If nothing went wrong, the next chapter would be the next chapter, and it would probably be set at 11 pm.
Because the author did not have any manuscripts, at least two chapters would be released at 11 pm, and there was a high chance that it would be three chapters. Including the three free chapters today, it would still be six chapters.
