Xue Mengyi raised her beautiful eyes and looked at her cold face in pity, then said in shock: "What are you talking about, I don't understand at all. Aiya, if I didn't suddenly make a move, how would I have been able to test out the abilities of a general? Xue Yi has also learned a few sets of sword techniques, but her skills are difficult to master, and she has heard that a general's swordsmanship is unrivalled, and she still needs to seek guidance from a general when she has time to do so!"
Of course, Long Tianyu would not easily believe it, but he did not question his directly, and said indifferently: "Alright, when I have time, I will come here to look for you, to see Miss Meng Yi's sword techniques."
Xue Mengyi chuckled: "As a grand general, if you don't wholeheartedly resist Qin, and instead keep searching for flowers in the brothels, how can I not be disappointed? I'll personally visit your esteemed palace."
Long Tianyu thought about his family's five female tigers, how could he continue to provoke wild flowers, and immediately replied: "The High General is also an ordinary person, who says that you are not allowed to come to the brothel to enjoy themselves, when I have free time, I will come and find you."
Xue Mengyi smiled in her heart, and said: "Up to you, I'll be going to change my clothes."
Long Tianyu released her arm and helped her up, touching her skin, it was smooth and tender, behind the muslin, it faintly revealed the outline of a classical beauty in heaven. His phoenix eyes were enchanting, revealing a hint of wildness, adding on to the little moth between his eyebrows, it was extremely alluring.
Through the veil, she could vaguely see her cheeks blushing red. She shot a glance at Long Tianyu with a slight smile on her face, and turned around to leave the pavilion. The remaining female singers were now sitting in the middle of the twenty odd generals, allowing the man to touch them as he pleased, teasing them about drinking and having fun.
thought that these merchants of the salt merchant, who were related to the life and stability of the city, should not be overlooked. It was best for them to rope him in, and use him for their own purposes.
Long Tianyu said to the high-ranking officer: "You all go pour some drinks first, I'll go meet up with those few merchants." After finishing his sentence, Xiahou Ying stood up and walked out of the room. Xiahou Ying and Zhang Yun followed closely behind.
Tonight, the place was filled with fish and dragons, the capital was filled with rich and powerful nobles, all of them went to the Phoenix Dance Pavilion to order a table. Long Tianyu stood at the fence on the stairs, a dozen or so rich merchants brought along rare and precious items as gifts, wanting to get to know this world-shaking Pei Gong, to build a good relationship with him, maybe after overthrowing the Qin Dynasty, they would be able to get an official position during the change of dynasty.
At first, Long Tianyu refused to accept them, but when everyone insisted on sending them off, he sighed and said: "The Dragon Army does not commit an offence in their entire lives, they do not touch the common people in any way. Today, all the merchants and doctors are generous with their contributions, Tian Yu did not refuse them, and will temporarily accept them as his army salary.
He thought to himself, "This businessman is worth a lot of money and should be used by the people to earn money from the common people. Remember that during the Sino-Japanese War of Resistance, [combine all the forces that can be combined], this marshal will use both the soft and the hard, without fear that these old foxes will not cooperate obediently."
"General, please wait!" A person suddenly shouted from behind him.
Initially, Long Tianyu wanted to return to his seat, but he was suddenly stopped by someone. He turned around and saw a row of swordsmen standing downstairs, looking up at the second floor with their sharp eyes, as though they were swordsmen who had trained hard for many years.
The Iron Guard, seeing that there was someone provoking them, quickly drew their sword and stood beside the main marshal, while the elites downstairs rushed past thirty odd people and surrounded the ten over swordsmen, the cold light congealing and the sword tip cold. However, the swordsmen who were standing in the middle of the crowd did not change their expressions, they did not have any intention to make a move.
The guests in the pavilion were all holding their breaths as they looked over. They were all thinking that someone had dared to make a move on them. They were tired of living, and even if there were hundreds of guards outside, they would still have to chop them into meat paste.
When Cao Can and the others heard the sound of guards gathering and drawing their swords, they all rushed out of the private room. Seeing that there were sword artists causing trouble, Fan Kuai and the rest were all surprised.
Cao Can asked Long Tianyu: "Pei Gong, do you want to capture all the members of the rebel army and take them back for interrogation."
Long Tianyu waved away the Iron Guard beside him, and asked the swordsmen: "Who was the one that asked this general to stop?"
One of them was shocked by the atmosphere and lost his composure, but still managed to remain calm: "It is me, Ge Li, Siyang County's Swordsman, greets Dragon General."
Seeing that he was not panicking in the face of fear, Long Tianyu found this hard to come by as she said indifferently: "What business do you have to stop this general?"
Ge Li cupped his hands and said: "This lowly one's reputation as a great general from the Eastern Sea County was because I had pledged my allegiance to the army.
Long Tianyu asked, "Where did all of you come from?"
Ge Li replied: "No, I am here with my two friends. I met the other few along the way, and some of them were people that I met in restaurants, and they were waiting for the Dragon General to arrive long ago so I came to recommend myself."
Cao Can, Guan Ying and the rest became alert, so they were actually here to join the army again. There were many arrogant swordsmen, they were not willing to join the army because it was very difficult for them to climb up and find an official position, so most of them chose to pay respects to their generals. Through their abilities, they were arranged to be by their sides, which made them more promising, but had high requirements for swordsmen.
Long Tianyu said: "The allied army is at the labor stage, if you have the heart to work for the common people, overthrow the righteous warriors of the Wild Qin, the dragon army welcomes you to join them, but to take the shortcut and become an elite warrior general, you must have skills that surpass others, you have learnt sword techniques for a few years?"
Ge Li replied respectfully: "Ten years, Wind Frost is unerring, and will become a small item!"
Long Tianyu nodded his head: "One strike every ten years, I wonder how sharp the frost blade is?" He then turned to and asked: "Zhang Yun, how long have you been learning the sword?"
Zhang Yun replied, "It's been more than seven years."
Long Tianyu smiled: Then you should go and spar with Ge Li, see if what he says is true or not?
Zhang Yun held his sword and bowed: "As you command!" After straightening his body, he clapped his hands twice and made a gesture of dispersing. The guards downstairs immediately withdrew their swords and dispersed. Someone moved the table away to make a space for the two to spar with each other.
Zhang Yun and Ge Li's swords faced each other, the aura around them did not suppress anyone, Xiahou Ying said in a low voice: "He is a strong opponent!"
Ge Li suddenly bellowed, he rushed forward, the tip of the sword burst out, it suddenly shot out a few rays of light, as though they were real and illusionary, extremely fast, the cold aura pressing on everyone's eyes as it pierced straight towards Zhang Yun's chest.
Everyone let out an "oh", who would have thought that this person's sword would be so fast, the candlelight flickered, and his figure flashed, as fast as a rabbit rising and falling, the tip of his sword trembling uncontrollably, piercing forward, causing Fan Kuai, Guan Ying and the rest to be worried about Zhang Yun's situation.
Zhang Yun's arm shook, the sword released over 10 sword images, blocking all of the opponent's movements, the offensive instantly crumbled, he instantly swung his sword and pierced towards Ge Li's left rib, following that, his body moved slightly, avoiding the tip of his sword.
In his range, the opponent's wrist flashed with quick and fierce light.
The generals heaved a sigh of relief, seeing that Zhang Yun's path to the sword was filled with fire and he was also an extremely capable sword user, they calmed down. Ge Li's first move was to probe out the situation, to see how clear Zhang Yun's movements were, and to let it out.
Just like that, he anxiously turned his body and dodged to the side to avoid the angle of the sword tip to avoid the attack. Without waiting for the opponent to use his move, he swung his sword to the side to stab Zhang Yun's left shoulder, to hide his movements, his moves were extremely precise.
Their footwork was agile and they fought quickly. After more than thirty rounds, neither of them managed to gain an advantage. Sword lights flashed, candle shadows swayed, and the fierce battle continued. The sword strikes continued to tremble and hum for a long time.
Cao Can and Guan Ying had never seen Zhang Yun take action, so when they saw him do it, they could not help but praise him endlessly. The few swordsmen who were spectating by the side, were holding onto their swords, all had cold sweat dripping down their bodies, they wanted to find a place out of the blue, if they were in Zhang Yun's shoes, they might not be able to hold on for so long.
