Long Tianyu had done some research on ancient culture, so he was able to casually say a few sentences that were formed from a mix of a few words from Luo Quan's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and Du Mu's "Ode to E Panggong".
Li Yueyao mumbled the astute words "the six nations are annihilated, but they are not". Her beautiful eyes flashed as she stared at Long Tianyu in disbelief, as if she had once again met him.
Zhang Zi Fang heard the first few lines of the words, "Great events in the world, you will always meet in the long run, you always meet in the long run". As he recounted the unavoidable historical developments, he couldn't help but praise it, and when Long Tianyu finished speaking in one breath, he felt that every sentence was like a warning to the world, every sentence was not like the common saying in the past.
The three girls of Liu Shishi's group looked forward with sweet smiles on their faces. Being subdued by his words, they wished that they could immediately throw themselves into her arms and be doted on for a while.
Xiang Yu had never heard of the quintessence of ancient culture, the so-called "exterminators of the six empires" could not be listened to, with straight eyebrows and eagle-like eyes, snorting: "The victors are the kings and the losers are the bandits, since ancient times the strong preys on the weak, the strong is the monarchs, how can they not accept this? Could it be that Ying Zheng relied not on the Great Qin's million Steel Cavalry, but on the hearts of the people? "War determines politics. The Confucian Tao technique and the hundreds of families are all in the form of nothingness. It's also impractical!"
When the Mo Clan large scale seed and the Confucian Scholar heard this, his expression became somewhat unnatural. Everyone kept quiet, their gazes all gathered on Long Tianyu, not knowing what kind of earth-shattering and strange words he would say next.
Although Long Tianyu was not an eloquent person, he was still extremely quick-witted. With a flash of his mind, he came up with a few ancient adage for himself, "Mencius has many ways of saying, 'To gain more justice is to lose justice.'" The territory of the Great Qin was vast and ancient, but a million strong soldiers had conquered six kingdoms and failed to conquer the hearts of the people. The kings were like boats, the people were like water, the water could carry boats, and the boats could be turned over; It's just that the Qin person was unable to mourn for himself and his descendants, and his descendants were unable to mourn for themselves and for others, and also caused his descendants to mourn for others! "
When Li Yueyao, Liu Shishi and the other girls heard the words "water can carry boats, but it can also overturn boats", they exclaimed at the same time.
It was only because the wars between the dukes from the Shang Zhou to the Spring and Autumn Warring States were all disputes over the interests of the nobles, so those who changed dynasties were all nobles. No one had ever placed the lowest level of peasants at such a height.
Everyone was silent for a while, as they mulled over his words. Zhang Liang sighed: "What a good idea, even in the Warring States Era, the Su Hengyi from the Zeng Family could not do such a thing!"
Xiang Yu was also shocked as she thought to herself: "This brat's words are far more bizarre than ordinary people, it seems like he has just learnt them." Xiang Yu was also surprised as she thought: "This brat's words are far more unique than ordinary people, it seems like he has just learned them.
A loud roar interrupted the crowd and said loudly, "Young master's words are indeed unique. I wonder if Brother Long's swordsmanship is as sharp as his words other than just talking about them? So, how about letting us broaden our horizons? "
Li Yueyao frowned, and thought: "Today we have gathered so many famous scholars and noble guests, all with the intention to discuss the matter of restoring the country to defend against the Qin, how can we possibly let them know that we are not on the same side, and will end up fighting, and going to war on the spot?"
Just as she was about to change the topic for Long Tianyu, she heard Long Tianyu laugh out loud. "You don't dare to dance alone if you don't know how to do it properly, just a few days ago when I saw Young Master Xiang's exceptional martial arts and her bravery, in fact I'm bowing to you. If Young Master Gui is willing to step in, Tian Yu will sacrifice her life to accompany me!"
The guests were all astonished. No one had expected that he would openly accept the challenge and use his battle sword. Such an argument made the banquet turn into a battle of dragons and tigers completely unexpected.
Long Tianyu thought: "Han Gao and Liu Ji have already become the ghosts under my sword, why should I be afraid of you, Xiang Yu? I have been waiting for you to meet me today for almost a year now, and it is rare for you to take the initiative to provoke me in a fair fight.
Li Yueyao was also shocked. She did not understand why Long Tianyu was so impulsive and strong, she should not care about small matters when doing big things. How could she have known that in front of a peerless beauty, a man's self-esteem was more important than his life.
Zhang Liang guessed what Long Tianyu was thinking, after all he was knowledgeable, and knew that Xiang Ji was domineering and had never met his match before. If he were to reject challenge or retreat in front of the crowd, not only would it harm Long Tianyu's image as the unrivalled leader of the allied army, but he would also never be able to challenge anyone in the future.
Liu Shishi, Zhang Qian and Guo Yuying were all admired by their lover's aura, but they could not avoid being worried. They both hoped for him to display his prowess, but also did not want him to get involved in danger.
Since the Spring and Autumn Warring States began, the martial arts had been in vogue, it had become a form of entertainment for the people at the banquet. It was recorded in "Zhuang Zi - The Sword": "King Zhao Wen likes swords, with over three thousand swordsmen standing by the door, fighting against each other day and night." The preliminaries had become a symbol of dignity and worth between men.
Xiang Yu was slightly stunned, she looked at the other party's calm expression, and it was not because her words were empty, and said in her heart: "Today you are willing to accept the challenge, if there is any loss, I cannot be blamed!" When she came back to her senses, she felt everyone's gazes on him, awaiting his reply.
Xiang Yu stood up, revealing her sturdy and mighty tiger body, she laughed out loud: "Since Brother Long is willing to accompany Xiang Ji in the battle, I feel honored, that there will be a day when I am not as lucky as when I would have to face the sun, what about it now? I would like to ask Young Master to teach me a few moves, what do you think?" Although his words were polite, everyone could faintly feel that he was impatient to fight with Long Tianyu.
Li Yuan, Guo Jing, Xiang Liang and the rest remained silent. In the battle of tigers, who would win and who would lose would benefit from it, so if Xiang Ji won, the three great families would choose him as the pillar that could restore their country and consolidate their power.
If Long Tianyu won, he would go with the flow and cooperate with the Pei County's army. He would supply the materials and weapons to the other party and borrow their strength to help the Chu Nation.
Although Li Yueyao did not want to see blood splatter all over the place, the situation had turned into a battle between two tigers. No matter who it was, they could not change their decisions, and at the same time, glancing at the expressions of her father, uncle, and the others, the talented girl could feel the strong relationship between the two, and it was not just a struggle between the two men.
The rest of the guests did not have much thoughts as they watched the fight unfold. Each of them put down their gardenias and roasted meat as they looked forward to the show.
Long Tianyu thought: "Dammit, I just came, and I'm afraid you will not happily agree. Let me witness just what kind of true abilities the famed ancient Overlord of West Chu has! " At this thought, he suddenly stood up. Apart from his loose robe, he was also wearing a warrior's outfit. His masculine body gave off an explosive feeling.
His expression was still as graceful as before, and he said with a smile: "Extremely wonderful! In drunkenness, one holds a lantern and looks at the sword, which helps Jiaxing even more. Brother Xiang, this way please! " As soon as she finished speaking, she had already walked over.
