    "Okay, first of all, let me ask Miss Wang Siyu, there is an idiom in your country called 'Kill your wife to seek a general,' where does this allusion come from." Mary asked first.  Killing your wife to seek general?  Not to mention knowing the allusion, Chen Jie had never even heard of this idiom. When he asked the question, Mary immediately stared at Wang Siyu.  Wang Siyu smiled softly: "Almost no one knows this idiom, but fortunately, I happened to have heard of it." The idiom "killing his wife and asking for his wife" comes from "Historical Records" and "Biography of Wu Qi". In the early Warring States Period, the famous general Wu Qi was a native of Lu and married Qi Qi.  With the daughter of the noble family Tian as his wife, Qi attacked Lu. Lu Jun wanted to use Wu Qi as the general to lead the army, but he hesitated because he was worried that he was related to Qi by marriage.  Wu Qi personally killed his wife in order to become famous, and then led the Lu army to defeat Qi. This incident formed the later idiom "Kill your wife to seek a general", which is used to describe people who do not hesitate to harm nature in pursuit of fame.  But this thing is so disgusting that almost no one knows this idiom.  Seeing that Wang Siyu actually answered, Mary was a little surprised, and then said in a teasing tone: "I didn't expect that Miss Wang reads a lot, but I value the original meaning of this story more: in order to become famous, she actually did something  I think it¡¯s really disgusting to mention the murder of his wife. Only savages from the East can come out, right?¡± Chen Jie became angry when he heard this. ¡°This Mary is belittling the Orientals.¡±  When Chen Jie was about to stand up, Wang Siyu spoke with a smile.  ¡°It¡¯s my turn to come up with the question now, right?¡± Wang Siyu asked.  "Yes, please." Mary said with a serious face when she realized that Wang Siyu was not angered.  "There is this sentence in the British stage play that I particularly like: From today until the end of the world, we will always be remembered. Our lucky few, our brothers who are closely related to each other, whoever fights bloody battles with me today, who is mine  Brother. May I ask Miss Mary, where does this sentence come from? "What is the historical event behind it?" Upon hearing this, Mary's eyes suddenly widened, and a dozen people behind her stood up. They all seemed to be nobles from France.  Especially that old Henry, the leading cane seemed to be smashing through the ground.  A group of French nobles stood up and screamed as if in protest. They had no aristocratic demeanor at all. Many people pointed at Wang Siyu and expressed something at a very fast speed. No matter how you looked at it, it didn't sound like a good thing.  Chen Jie stood in front of Wang Siyu without hesitation and looked at the hundreds of nobles with a sneer.  "What are you thinking about?" Seeing that things had become like this, Catherine had no choice but to get up and stop the French people who were still impassioned.  Although he was angry, Chen Jie still felt a little baffled: Why did this issue arouse so many French people's anger?  At the same time, Chen Jie also discovered another thing: a dozen French nobles were impassioned, and a dozen people beside them looked complacent, and seemed to appreciate Wang Siyu's question.  The old British aristocrat Bell stood at the front of this group of people. Although he said nothing, he looked at Wang Siyu as if he was very happy.  Wang Siyu stood up and pulled Chen Jie with her hand: "It's okay." A dozen old French nobles finally sat down under Catherine's comfort and Chen Jie's threats, but they were still talking unconsciously.  "What's going on?" Chen Jie looked at Wang Siyu in confusion and asked.  "It's nothing, it just touched the arrogant nerve of the French." Wang Siyu laughed but did not explain.  Seeing that there should be no problem, Chen Jie returned to his seat and sat down, but he still didn't understand what was wrong with the question Wang Siyu said?  "This passage is a line from Shakespeare's play "Henry V." Just after sitting down, Liu Yuwei whispered beside Chen Jie: "Henry V used more than 66 troops to defend his position during the Battle of Agincourt in the Middle Ages.  Defeated the siege of 30,000 French troops, France suffered heavy losses in that battle: thousands of nobles were lost, more than a dozen count and above, and more than 66 soldiers died in the battle. This incident almost brought France to a standstill for a century.  It is a taboo in the history of Britain and France that no one can touch. Now the French and the British are fighting in the street when they talk about it. " "So that's what happened." Chen Jie smiled and looked at Liu Yuwei: "How do you know.  "These?" "Your eldest girlfriend travels around when she has nothing to do, but I choose to read anything when I have nothing to do." Liu Yuwei just smiled slightly when she received Chen Jie's praise.  Then he sat still again.  "Okay, Miss Wang Siyu: The Battle of Agincourt is a nightmare for France where you live"??By raising this matter, do you know that I am French and are you deliberately provoking me?  "Haha, dear Miss Mary, can the example you just mentioned be interpreted as a provocation?" Wang Siyu chuckled: "You are not French, you are just a Chinese-French hybrid. Looking down on your motherland in this way, you think you are  I don¡¯t think there¡¯s anything to be proud of as a foreigner.¡± Chen Jie already understood the whole story and patted Wang Siyu gently on the back.  Feeling Chen Jie's hand, Wang Siyu shrank her neck cutely.  Only now did Chen Jie understand what was going on behind this. Looking at the smug looks of Baker's group of British nobles, Chen Jie secretly laughed: These aristocratic associations seem to be quite united, but in fact they use a little trickery.  They can fight each other. No wonder they can't beat the armless man and the spider. It's weird to be able to play like this. The first round is a tie between the two sides. Entering the next round, it's Mary's turn again.  "Miss Wang Siyu, please tell me: 'The flag is lowered on the king's city, how can I find out about it in the deep palace? 140,000 people have disarmed, and none of them is a man. Who wrote this poem?" It's Chen Jie again.  It was something I had never heard of before, but Liu Yuwei frowned when she heard it.  "The poem of Mrs. Huarui from the Kingdom of Shu after the Five Dynasties." Wang Siyu answered, but still frowned.  Nu Yongshuo, there must be something wrong with this poem.  "Back then, the Shu Kingdom surrendered directly to the Song Dynasty even though it still had an army of 140,000 troops. It was a metaphor for unprincipled surrender." Liu Yuwei said with a frown.  ?Another opportunity to be sarcastic?  This Mary's sense of superiority is simply beyond the sky. Wang Siyu was unmoved after answering, and then asked directly: "Is it my turn to ask the question again." "Of course, but Miss Wang Siyu, I want to remind you, it's best not to ask again."  Challenging the bottom line of people here," Mary sneered.
