Two answers are not difficult to verify.

Just add a little bit, and that's it.

When Banbu finished verifying the two extra answers, he felt completely unwell.

That's right!

Both answers are actually correct!

Is there really six answers to this question?

How could this happen?

I clearly calculated it carefully!

How can there be six answers?

"Impossible, impossible..."

Bamboo wiped the sweat from his forehead haphazardly and began to calculate again.

Seeing Banbu's appearance, Du Guiyuan and the others were suddenly stunned.

What's going on?

Could it really be that His Highness the Sixth Prince was right?

Did Bambu miscalculate himself?

As everyone was in shock, Ye Zi helped the still dazed Xin Sheng to her feet and said with a light laugh, "Silly girl, don't cry anymore, the Sixth Prince won!"

She has already calculated it.

All six of Yun Zheng's answers are correct!

Even if Banbu counts a hundred times, it will still be right!

"Your Highness... won?"

Xin Sheng stared blankly at Ye Zi, unable to believe his ears.

How did Your Highness win again?

As the two were talking, Banbu suddenly fell to the ground.

That's right!

The two extra answers that Yun Zheng provided are indeed both correct!

"How could this happen, how could this happen..."

Bamboo sat foolishly on the ground, as if he had lost his soul.

"National Master!"

The guard, seeing this, hurriedly stepped forward to help Banbu up, his face full of anxiety as he asked, "Was his answer wrong? Is that right?"

Even though he already had the answer in his heart, he still held onto a glimmer of hope.

Banbu slightly parted his lips, wanting to say that Yunzheng had made a mistake, but the answer was right there; no matter how much he denied it, it was useless!

"I lost, lost again..."

Ban's face was filled with desolation, and he almost cried out.

His meticulously designed trap ultimately ensnared him instead.

Since his mission to Da Qian, he has lost all four bets to Yun Zheng.

Even though he thought this problem was incredibly complex, Yun Zheng managed to solve it in such a short time.

Moreover, it is even more comprehensive than his answer.

Just as Yun Zheng said, he himself couldn't figure out this problem.

"Lost?"

Hearing Banbu's words, the guard's expression suddenly changed; the earlier momentum had vanished, leaving only a face full of grief and indignation.

Lost again!

And to lose so completely!

"The prince just said, 'Don't think that just because you've picked up a bit of arithmetic from my Great Qian that you can consider yourself impressive.'"

Yun Zheng looked up at the dazed Ban Bu and said with a smile, "There is still a difference between teacher and student!"

Hearing Yun Zheng's words, everyone shook off the previous gloom and burst into hearty laughter.

"His Highness the Sixth is right."

"Learning a bit of superficial skill, and you dare to come to my Great Qian to show off?"

"Ha ha, now you've lifted a stone only to drop it on your own foot, haven't you?"

"National Master, why aren't you quickly paying your respects to His Highness?"

"These mere barbarians think they can compare their wisdom to that of our Great Qian..."

Everyone laughed harder and harder, but Banbu's face turned the color of pig liver.

Banbu really wanted to say that he hadn't stolen any techniques; this question clearly came to him suddenly while he was observing the warhorses eating their fodder.

Then, it took a long time to figure out the four answers.

He wanted to explain himself, but he couldn't.

Yun Zheng figured out the answer in such a short time, one that he himself had not calculated.

The outcome is clear!

No matter how much he denies it, others will only think he can't handle losing.

"National Master, you wouldn't renege on your promise, would you?"

Yun Zheng sat down with a cheerful smile, while raising his hand to silence the incessant laughter of the crowd.

Banbu paused slightly, his eyes fixed intently on Yun Zheng.

"National Master, we are leaving!"

A guard grabbed Banbu fiercely and said, "We're leaving. Who in Da Qian dares to stop us? They'd better ask if my Northern Huan Iron Cavalry agrees!"

Seeing that Bei Huan was about to play tricks, Du Guiyuan directly snatched the knife from Gao He's hand.

"Are you willing to bet and not accept defeat?"

Du Guiyuan stood with one arm holding a knife, his face full of frost as he stared at the two, "You think you can just leave like this? Ask the knife in my hand if it agrees!"

"Looking for death!"

The guards of Banbu immediately drew their swords.

"Put it away!"

Bamboo glared with wide eyes and shouted, gritting his teeth, "As a man of Beihuan, if I gamble, I will accept defeat! Do not let Da Qian see the joke of Beihuan!"

"National Master!"

The guard was anxious, "You are the national teacher of our Northern Huan, how can you..."

"Shut up!"

Bamboo shouted angrily, gripping his fists tightly.

He also wants to play dirty.

But now is not the time to play tricks.

If he plays tricks now, he is very likely to miss out on the grain from Da Qian.

Without that food, Beihuan would not be able to survive this harsh winter at all.

After a long while, Banbu took a deep breath and slowly relaxed his fist.

The humiliation of today will be repaid tenfold in the future!

Bamboo said fiercely in his heart as he raised his hand.

"Clap... Clap..."

Bamboo swung his arms, delivering two resounding slaps to his own face.

"Thud..."

In the next moment, Banbu knelt down again in front of Yunzheng, suppressing the grief and anger in his heart, and obediently bowed three times.

Seeing Banbu's actions, everyone was taken aback.

I never expected Banbu would actually fulfill the bet!

Yun Zheng raised his eyes to scan the classroom, a glimmer of murderous intent flashing quietly in his gaze.

It can make what ordinary people cannot endure!

This classmate is definitely a character!

If there is a battle with the Northern Huan in the future, this person will surely become a formidable opponent!

However, Yun Zheng ultimately suppressed his killing intent.

Killing Bambu now would bring him no benefit.

"Get up!"

Yun Zheng slightly raised his hand, "National Master, remember this: when you see His Highness again, you must bow to him as a master!"

"Your Highness, rest assured! We, the men of Beihuan, are willing to bet and accept defeat!"

Banbu gritted his teeth and, suppressing his grief and anger, stood up.

"Indeed! This is the demeanor that the Master of Beihuan should possess!"

Yun Zheng nodded slightly, then slowly stood up and instructed Gao He, "Call the guards and servants from the manor to come here, and follow me to lead the horses!"

"Yes!"

Gao He shouted his orders loudly, a broad smile blooming on his face.

More than six hundred Northern Huan horses!

Even if those horses are of poor quality, they are still a huge windfall.

Moreover, how much worse could the horses ridden by the Northern Huan envoy be?

Seeing the excited faces of the people from Da Qian, a cold glint flashed in the guard's eyes.

"Go!"

Bamboo let out a low growl and slowly walked outside.

The guard shot a fierce glance at everyone before following.

At this moment, it was already dark outside.

"National Master, are you really going to give those horses to the people of Da Qian?"

The guard asked with a face full of reluctance.

"What can I do if I can't give?"

Ban Bu gritted his teeth and growled, "It's all written in black and white. If we don't even give them this small number of horses, do you think the people of Da Qian will still believe that we will provide them with ten thousand warhorses and that land?"

The guard paused slightly, unsure of what to say for a moment.

"Then how do we go back?"

After a long while, the guard reluctantly inquired again.

"This is a matter for the Great Qian! It's not for you to worry about!"

Banbu gently shook his head, already calculating in his heart.

They are, after all, the envoy of the Northern Huan.

Even without those horses, wouldn't the Great Qian still send people to escort them back to Beihuan?

Once we return to Beihuan, we'll find a way to make Da Qian pay the price!
