"Thirty years of fame and glory are but dust and dirt, eight thousand miles of road are but clouds and moon!"
Seeing that there was no response after the first reading, Wang Yufeng quickly read it again.
Still no response.
Wang Yufeng frowned. What was going on?
Don't these simpletons understand poetry?
Is their level of education really that low?
Seeing Zhao Cheng, Xu An, and Li Guanyu staring blankly at him, Wang Yufeng cleared his throat and almost howled, "Thirty years of fame and glory are but dust and dirt!! Eight thousand miles of road are but clouds and moon!!"
Still no response...
Zhao Cheng clapped his hands suddenly, looking as if he had figured it out, and shouted, "Don't waste your youth! You'll only regret it later!"
Xu An immediately understood and said, "So the young general wants us to continue the word chain! I thought he had forgotten his lines!"
"I……"
Forget the lyrics, you idiot!
Screw you, dragon catcher!
Wang Yufeng almost roared, repeating again: "Thirty years of fame and glory are but dust and dirt!!! Eight thousand miles of road are but clouds and moon!!!"
Xu An tried to say, "Then... don't let time slip by idly? Don't... let your youthful years turn to white hair in vain, only to be filled with regret!!!"
Wang Yufeng, on the verge of tears, weakly said, "Thirty years of fame and glory are but dust and dirt, eight thousand miles of road are but clouds and moon..."
Xu An nudged Li Guanyu with his elbow: "Your turn."
"Oh!" Li Guanyu closed his eyes, trying hard to gather his emotions, and said, "Don't waste your youth, lest you grow old in vain and regret it."
"I'll cut your grandpa!!!" Wang Yufeng couldn't take it anymore and slammed the table over, startling Zhao Cheng and the other two into a hasty retreat.
Xu An comforted you, saying, "It's okay if you can't think of the next words, we won't laugh at you!"
"What words are you thinking of?! What poems are you reciting?!" Wang Yufeng roared, "Do you think this general really wants to drink with you?!"
Zhao Cheng asked, "So what do you want to do?"
"I'll kill you!" Wang Yufeng, who was always in armor and the only one of the four with a sword, immediately drew his sword and shouted, "You stole my woman, I'm going to kill you!"
Xu An and Li Guanyu quickly grabbed Wang Yufeng's left and right hands.
Xu An said, "Hasn't this all been forgotten? The young general must have had too much to drink! Quick, get him under control!!"
"Let me go!!"
Wang Yufeng was as strong as an ox. With a twist of his body, he threw Xu An and Li Guanyu aside and pointed his knife at Zhao Cheng.
"To tell you the truth, tonight's drinking session is a send-off feast I arranged for Zhao Cheng!"
"You!" Wang Yufeng looked at Xu An and Li Guanyu and shouted, "Hold him down! After I cut off his head, you will be my friends forever! When my Wang family rises to prominence, I will definitely take you with me!"
Li Guanyu's face turned pale, and he said tremblingly, "Young...Young General, you're not joking, are you?"
"Do I look like I'm joking?" Wang Yufeng kicked the partition behind him and said angrily, "I had axemen lying in ambush. I was going to chop Zhao Cheng into mincemeat, but I don't know what happened."
"Quick, hold him down, and I guarantee you two will get promoted and make a fortune, and your father will never look down on you again!!"
These words seemed to strike a chord with Xu An and Li Guanyu, causing both of them to freeze and turn their gazes toward Zhao Cheng.
Seeing that his words had an effect, Wang Yufeng added fuel to the fire, saying, "Tonight I have laid a trap. If you don't help me, then both of your families can expect to be killed by my Wang family!"
Xu An and Li Guanyu both clenched their fists.
Zhao Cheng took a step back and said, "Murder is illegal, don't be impulsive..."
Snap!
Li Guanyu picked up the wine pot and tapped it on the table, then grabbed the broken piece and walked step by step toward Zhao Cheng.
"Zhao Cheng... I can't let the Li family suffer because of me, I'm sorry!"
After saying that, Li Guanyu grabbed the broken wine jug and lunged at Zhao Cheng!
Sudden!
Xu An grabbed Li Guanyu's wrist and pushed him into the corner.
"Brother Li, calm down!"
"Xu An, you've gone mad! Today, it's either Zhao Cheng or Wang Yufeng who will be chosen. There won't be any more 'Four Young Masters of Yanchuan' in the future!"
"If we take action against Zhao Cheng now, it would be taking advantage of his vulnerability. I won't do that!"
Although Xu An was no match for Wang Yufeng, he was no problem dealing with the refined and gentle Li Guanyu. With one hand holding Li Guanyu's hand and the other hand pressing against Li Guanyu's neck, Li Guanyu had no strength to resist.
"Very good!" Wang Yufeng nodded: "Xu An, I'll settle the score with you later!"
"If you won't do it, I'll do it myself!"
Wang Yufeng made up his mind to take action himself, gripping the knife with both hands and slashing at Zhao Cheng.
"Zhao Cheng, prepare to die!"
Bang! Clang!
The door was kicked open, and Zhao Wu slashed at Wang Yufeng's sword with his knife, then turned and kicked Wang Yufeng to the window.
Wang Yufeng dropped his sword, quickly stood up, and asked in confusion, "How did you get up here? Where are my men?!"
"You mean those stupid axemen? They were really weak, I took them all down." To avoid revealing Zheng Hongxiu, Zhao Wu seized the opportunity to show off.
"How is this possible?!" Wang Yufeng roared, "So many people, and you did it all by yourself? Why was there not a sound?!"
Zhao Wu couldn't answer, and said with a stern face, "What's the use of saying all this? If you dare to plot to kill my master, I won't spare your life!!"
"I am a Zhaoyong of the imperial court..."
"Brave your grandma!"
Zhao Wu slashed with the back of his knife, and a bloody mark immediately appeared on Wang Yufeng's face. He covered his face and screamed in pain.
"Ah! Ah... Ah!"
"Thirty years of fame and glory are but dust and dirt, eight thousand miles of road are but clouds and moon..." Zhao Cheng walked towards Wang Yufeng and said, "Who suggested using this as a code? It's an insult to heroes!"
Seeing Zhao Cheng approach, Wang Yufeng smashed open the window and shouted, "Help!!!"
