Chapter 399 Win You with My Eyes Closed
Yelu Lingxiao seemed to be provoked by Zhu Qiqi's words. His face darkened, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and he immediately agreed, "Okay! I will use this knife and a thousand horses as a bet to play a round with you!"
"I don't know, Your Majesty, how do you want to bet on this round?" Yelu Lingxiao looked at Qin Hao with a forced smile.
Qin Hao's eyes fell on Yelu Lingxiao, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips, as if everything was under his control.
"The King of the Southern Courtyard keeps saying that my beloved concubine solved the Rubik's Cube just by luck, so how about we use this Rubik's Cube as a medium and have a bet again?"
Qin Hao said slowly: "This time, I will close my eyes and crack the Rubik's Cube in half a cup of tea!"
"If I succeed in cracking it within the specified time, then the sword of the King of Nanyuan will belong to me, and you must also give me a thousand horses from Daxia as compensation."
"If I lose, the previous bet will be void, how about that?"
As Qin Hao finished speaking, the hall suddenly fell silent.
Close your eyes!
Do you want to crack this thing in half a cup of tea?
It’s simply a fool’s errand!
Is your majesty crazy?
Solving this Rubik's Cube with your eyes closed is an impossible task for anyone!
Su Zhengfang was secretly delighted in his heart, "Little emperor, you are too confident. You actually dare to challenge such a difficult problem with your eyes closed. Do you really think you are an omnipotent god?"
At this moment, the happiest person was Dong Sicheng, who had just been feeling worried about Wang Yourong's great contribution.
However, Qin Hao seemed to be crazy and actually made such a bet.
Isn't he seeking his own death?
His actions were like putting himself in the spotlight, waiting to be laughed at and ridiculed by everyone.
The brothers Qin Feng and Qin Yun smiled at each other, and a playful expression appeared on their faces at the same time.
If the eldest brother really loses today, will those powerful men in the court still truly obey him?
Now there is something good to watch.
An inexplicable anticipation suddenly welled up in the hearts of the two, and they were even impatient to see Qin Hao's next performance.
Among all the people present, Wang Yourong and other girls seemed unusually calm. There was no sign of worry on their faces. Instead, they were filled with composure and confidence.
It seemed that in their hearts, Qin Hao was omnipotent and had already secured victory. No matter what challenges he faced, he could handle them easily and turn danger into safety.
This scene happened to fall into Yelu Jin'er's eyes. She gently tugged at Yelu Lingxiao's sleeve and said softly, "Father, you see they seem to have great confidence in the Emperor of Daxia. Is there a trick here?"
"Should we reconsider and not participate in this gambling game? What if... What if we lose again..."
Yelu Lingxiao was touched by his daughter's words, his mind stagnated and he fell into a brief trance.
However, at this moment, it is too late to back down and the arrow has to be shot.
What's more, deep in his heart, he had deep doubts about the ability of the Great Xia Emperor to crack the Rubik's Cube with his eyes closed. He thought it was simply a fantasy, unless the Great Xia Emperor in front of him was a god who had descended to earth.
"it is good!"
After a brief moment of distraction, Yelu Lingxiao finally made up his mind and agreed very readily: "The Emperor of Daxia's bet is quite fair. I will accompany him to the end!"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but burst into laughter, a laughter full of confidence and arrogance.
The people in the Liao delegation heard Yelu Lingxiao's laughter and started laughing too.
Because in their eyes, this bet was like a joke, a joke that would never succeed.
"Okay! Since both parties have reached a consensus, let's make it a deal and not go back on our word."
Qin Hao had someone hand the Rubik's Cube to Yelu Lingxiao, and said with a faint smile: "King of the South Courtyard, you should scramble it yourself, so that you won't accuse me of cheating again."
"By the way, let's also include this bet in the documents between the two countries! This way it will appear more formal!"
"no problem!"
Upon hearing this, Yelu Lingxiao laughed out loud, "Your Majesty the Emperor of Daxia is indeed thoughtful. Let's do as you wish!"
Soon, the document was signed and sealed, and the bet between the two countries was officially established.
The Rubik's Cube in Yelu Lingxiao's hand flipped in a dazzling manner, and then he quickly scrambled it. His movements were so fast that it seemed like a gust of wind passing by, leaving only a chaotic mixture of colors.
Immediately afterwards, Gao Lishi appeared in front of Yelu Lingxiao. He took the Rubik's Cube and handed it to Qin Hao.
Qin Hao took the Rubik's Cube and said nothing. He recalled it silently for a moment, his eyes closed, as if he was silently recalling the chaotic colors and directions in his mind.
After a moment, his voice rang out in the silence: "King of the South Courtyard, you can start the timer."
Before he finished speaking, Qin Hao's fingers were already dancing on the Rubik's Cube like lightning.
Every rotation was precise and swift, as if a skill that had been honed through thousands of trials and tribulations had been perfectly unleashed at this moment.
"Good! Good!" Yelu Lingxiao laughed twice.
Then, he stared at Qin Hao's eyes, fearing that he would open his eyes and cheat.
To his disappointment, Qin Hao never opened his eyes, and the Rubik's Cube kept changing its shape in Qin Hao's hands.
Everyone held their breath, afraid of disrupting Qin Hao's rhythm.
As time went by, Yelu Jin'er saw that Qin Hao's movements were getting faster and faster, as if he had reached the state of unity between man and devil. She couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, trying to interrupt Qin Hao's rhythm.
Sure enough, Qin Hao was disturbed by Yelu Jiner's exclamation and slowed down.
Upon hearing the noise, Zhu Qiqi and the others cursed Yelu Jiner in their hearts for being despicable and shameless for disturbing them at this time.
However, they did not dare to speak out to stop him, for fear of disrupting Qin Hao's rhythm.
Finally, with a crisp click, the Rubik's Cube seemed to be given life, and each piece returned to its rightful place.
Qin Hao slowly opened his eyes and gently turned over the Rubik's Cube in his hand. The six sides had exactly the same color, like a natural gem, appearing flawlessly in front of everyone.
Looking at the Rubik's Cube in Qin Hao's hand, Yelu Lingxiao's face changed drastically, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying. He staggered back a few steps and almost fell to the ground.
The original arrogant and domineering aura disappeared at this moment, and was replaced by endless fear and despair.
Everyone present was stunned with shock.
People kept rubbing their eyes hard, trying to see if they were dreaming.
However, everything before them clearly told them that they were not dreaming.
Yelu Jin'er's eyes widened, staring at Qin Hao in disbelief. The shock in her heart was beyond words, as if the whole world collapsed at this moment.
