Chapter 1908 Lu Dongzan's mouth, a strange smile floated
Lu Dongzan looked at Cheng Sanlang calmly and waited until the noise in the hall subsided for a while before speaking.
"Please also ask Taibao Xiao Cheng to ask the second question."
Cheng Chubi turned his head and looked at Lu Dongzan, who looked a little depressed after losing three battles in a row, but his eyes were still full of stubborn fighting spirit.
He is indeed a talented person. After being defeated by him three times in a row, he still has such fighting spirit.
It's a pity that I can defeat an opponent like this a hundred times without repeating myself.
Cheng Chubi thought for a while, hooked his fingers towards Li Ke, and whispered in his ear.
Li Ke took the idea and hurried away, quickly reaching General Cheng. "Uncle, Cheng Sanlang asked my nephew to come over and get those two gadgets."
"Well... wait a moment." Then all the important military officials of the Tang Dynasty came to Cheng Yaojin's side curiously.
Then I saw General Cheng called the eunuch to bring a tray, and like a magic trick, he pulled out two hollow gold lions. The golden light was brilliant and dazzling.
He put the two hollow golden lions on the plate and handed them to Li Ke.
Li Ke took the tray in a daze, subconsciously looked at the almost identical golden lion, and looked up at General Cheng in astonishment.
General Cheng laughed at him and simply winked. "What are you doing in a daze? Take it over quickly."
Li Ke did not dare to neglect, and walked towards Cheng Sanlang with the tray in hand. He was very suspicious in his heart as to why General Cheng used these two hollowed-out golden lions.
What kind of problems can this thing create to stump the opponent?
Lu Dongzan's eyes were also focused on the golden lions on the tray, and he looked at these two golden lions suspiciously.
"These two golden lions are exactly the same in weight and shape.
However, one of them is pure gold, and the other is mixed with lead.
I would like to ask Ambassador Lu to find the golden lion that is doped with lead without destroying the two golden lions."
"As long as Ambassador Lu can think of a solution within the time of one stick of incense, then Ambassador Lu will be victorious."
"Oh, by the way, you must not make blind guesses. You must come up with an irrefutable reason for everyone present to prove which one is pure and which one is impure."
As soon as these words came out, all the people in the palace were dumbfounded, and Lu Dongzan, the most resourceful Tubo wise man, also turned black.
The faces of Qinling and Sambuza beside him also turned gloomy, and they also heard whispers coming from all directions.
"It is mixed with lead, but the weight is exactly the same? How can you find the difference? If it is a whole piece, you may be able to observe the clues with the naked eye."
"But these two golden lions are clearly hollowed out and cannot be destroyed. How can we find out..."
"That's right, isn't this embarrassing?"
"Nonsense, it's not difficult to be a human being, how can it be called a difficult problem?"
"How about it? What can you do?"
"Haha... Unless you smash them all and resmelt them, there is no way to tell which one is pure gold and which one is doped with lead."
Whether it is the capable and wise men in the Tang Dynasty or the shrewd people among the envoys of various Tibetan countries.
Even His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty couldn't help showing admiration at this moment and murmured something in a low voice.
"This kid simply drove Na Lu Dongzan to a dead end."
Li Mingda, a very curious little cutie, couldn't help but asked in a low voice.
"Dad, is there really no way to find out the authenticity without destroying them?"
Li Shimin stroked his long beard and said with determination on his face. "If there was a way, Cheng Sanlang would not just ask questions, but should compete with Na Lu Dongzan."
After hearing this analysis from the extremely shrewd Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Mingda and Wu Meiniang had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Indeed, the wise minds of the two of them really couldn't figure out who could do it without destroying these two hollow golden lions.
Just from the appearance, you can tell which of the two golden lions is mixed with lead and which is pure gold.
When Lu Dongzan heard the question given by Cheng Sanlang, he walked to the tray and looked at the two hollow gold lions carefully.
However, these two hollowed-out lions not only have the same shape, but also the hollowed-out patterns.
Lu Dongzan simply picked it up and weighed it with his hands. When he was estimating the weight, Cheng Sanlang across from him kindly handed over a steelyard.
"Come on, come on, if you're not worried about the weight, weigh this."
Lu Dongzan's face darkened, and he almost wanted to call out these two golden lions on Cheng Sanlang's smiling face. He was so reckless and bullying...
The stick of incense was getting shorter little by little, and Lu Dongzan, no matter how he observed it, even picked up the steel scale to weigh it.
The weight of these two golden lions is exactly the same as Cheng Sanlang said.
Qinling and Nasangbuza on the side were also anxious and scratching their heads, but there was no way to solve this problem.
#####
Everyone was discussing in low voices, putting forward ideas and thoughts one after another, but they were all quickly refuted.
Over there, General Chai finally couldn't hold it in any longer, and came to Cheng Yaojin's side and asked in a low voice, "Brother Zhijie, do you know how to distinguish authenticity?"
"Haha, of course Cheng knows." General Cheng chuckled, stroking his thick beard like a steel needle with a proud expression on his face.
"Is there really a way? Or are there any unique patterns on the two golden lions that can distinguish the authenticity?"
"How could it be possible to leave such a conspicuous flaw? Guys, just watch the show. If you want to know, I will tell you after my Sanlang and the old Tibetan man are finished."
Lu Dongzan's head was covered with stinky sweat. Facing these two golden lions in the sky, he felt like a dog.
Facing the two hedgehogs, there was nothing to say. No matter the carvings, patterns, or even every stripe, they were exactly the same.
But inside the hollow, he could only try his best to look through the gaps, but he couldn't see any flaws.
"The incense is about to burn out." An envoy from the Tibetan kingdom suddenly whispered, causing Lu Dongzan to subconsciously turn his head and look.
I happened to see that the incense stick was almost gone...
Lu Dongzan glanced at the old god next to him with despair on his face. He even had time to brag and spank with Wu King Li Ke and Cheng Sanlang, who was grinning happily.
He couldn't help but feel evil in his heart. At this moment, he heard the voice of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
"One stick of incense has been used up, Lu Dongzan, can you tell the real golden lion from the fake one?"
Hearing this, Lu Dongzan put the two empty golden lions back into the plate, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
