When Yue Fei saw the other party draw his knife and point it at him, he did not panic at all. Instead, he answered calmly in the same Hebei accent as the other party:
"Let this Chief Li know that I was once surrounded by the Jin army in Hebei and was injured by an arrow in the eyebrow when I tried to break through the siege. So it seems like I am rolling my eyes at everyone, but I don't mean to look down on anyone."
Li Cheng was suddenly stunned. Before he could think of how to respond, Zhang Rong beside him simply put his hands on his hips and laughed out loud, which made Li Cheng even more embarrassed and in a dilemma!
"alright!"
At this moment, General Yang suddenly spoke up. "Fu Xuan, go collect the weapons of the heroes sitting here..."
It has to be said that although Yang Weizhong seemed rude before, he was actually very experienced. He had not spoken for a long time, but when he spoke, he spoke at the right time. He not only gave Li Cheng a way out, but also resolved the conflict between Li Cheng, Zhang Rong and Yue Fei, and strengthened his own authority at the same time.
Upon hearing the military order, a young military officer under Yang Wei Zhong immediately stepped forward and led several other military officers to collect the weapons of everyone in the hall from the front to the back. They only collected one table, and the second one came to Yue Fei and Ma Kuo in order.
Ma Kuo didn't care and directly handed over the sword at his waist, but Yue Fei remained motionless.
"This Commander Yue..." The military officer named Fu Xuan couldn't help but urge.
"Are you from the Taihang Mountain Eight Character Army?" Yue Fei sat still, just looking up at the eight characters tattooed on the man's cheek, and sighed softly. "You shouldn't be one of the twelve troops that crossed the river that day, right? Otherwise, I wouldn't forget you."
The man was slightly startled, then said solemnly: "Reporting to Commander Yue, the Jin people relocated the Jurchen and Khitan men to various military states in Hebei, and frequently sent hundreds of thousands of troops back and forth, making endless demands. The people of Hebei could not bear the hardships, so they rose up and gathered in Taihang Mountain... Among them, the Wuma Mountain in the North Taihang Mountains has Prince Xin as a guarantor, and has the greatest influence in the north; while in the South Taihang Mountains, the Eight Character Army of Taiwei Wang is the most famous... I left home in November last year to join Taiwei Wang, and then got my tattoo, and I have indeed heard of Commander Yue's reputation from the young military officer Fan."
Yue Fei nodded slightly, glanced at Ma Kuo beside him, and then continued to ask: "Since the Eight Character Army is so powerful, why are you here?"
"Were they dispersed by the main force of the Jin army when we were coming down the mountain?" Fu Xuan replied helplessly. "The momentum in the mountains was growing, but once we entered the plains, we were no match for the Jin cavalry... Fortunately, when we were heading east after the defeat, we happened to meet General Yang, and he followed us all the way."
Yue Fei nodded again.
"Commander Yue." Fu Xuan finished chatting with Yue Fei in front of everyone's sidelong glances, but finally urged him. "If you want to talk, let's have a drink tonight, and I will talk to you slowly. Please hand over your weapons now... so that I can do it better!"
Yue Fei finally held the sword at his waist and shook his head slowly: "Captain Yang recognizes me, and you have heard of me. You must know that I am the commander of the Eastern Capital of the Great Song Dynasty, a regular military officer, and this must be the lobby of the Great Song government. There is no reason for a dignified commander of the Great Song Dynasty to surrender weapons like a group of bandits."
Ma Kuo was embarrassed when he heard this, Fu Xuan was also caught off guard, but Yang Weizhong simply turned his head and said nothing.
"What do you mean?!" Li Cheng in the hall was furious again after hearing this, and drew his sword for the second time. "You are a nobody commander, you still look down on me, Li Cheng, right?!"
"I'm not looking down on Chief Li. I'm just telling the truth," Yue Fei responded sincerely.
Li Cheng became more and more angry, and he jumped forward and chopped at the man on the head with a knife.
Seeing this, the two people closest to them, Ma Kuo and Fu Xuan, reacted very quickly. One tried to lift the case to stop them, while the other turned around and reached for his knife.
But Li Cheng was no show-off, and he was vicious, not just bluffing. His sword was powerful and powerful, and it was also very fast, and he was definitely going to kill people. In contrast, Fu Xuan had already seen the sword before he turned around to touch the weapon, and Ma Kuo didn't even lift the table... Because there was someone who reacted much faster than them. When Yue Pengju saw the other party coming to chop, he stepped on the table directly, bent his waist and exerted force, and drew his sword to fight!
Almost in a flash, everyone only felt a flash before their eyes, and the two men fought fiercely in the hall! When the blades collided, sparks flew!
Except for the dumbfounded civil servant, almost all the people present were brave warriors. With just one strike, they could tell the strengths of the two men. Everyone was in awe. Even the knowledgeable old lieutenant Yang, who had promoted Han Shizhong and was well-informed, could not help but squint his eyes.
As for Yue Fei and Li Ben, they were both on guard. While holding their swords, they also looked at each other carefully... The former really didn't expect that this bandit would have such martial arts and strength, and he was somewhat moved; the latter was even more shocked, because this man was born in Hebei, served in the army in Huainan, became a bandit in Shandong, and traveled all over the north and south of the Yellow River. Other things were fine, but he claimed to be invincible in martial arts. As a result, he ended up in a draw in today's sneak attack. Doesn't this mean that the martial arts of this mediocre Song army officer in front of him are three points better than his own?
How can I not be surprised?!
"Li Cheng!"
Just as the two of them were standing in silence, Taiwei Old Yang spoke again, but his stance was clear. "What do you mean by suddenly killing a legitimate governor of the Song Dynasty in the lobby of the government?!"
After these words were spoken, Fu Xuan and others came to their senses and drew their swords. The group of Shandong heroes who followed Li Cheng also drew their swords to fight back, but Li Ben himself, who had come to his senses, raised his hand to stop them.
Not only that, this man actually took the initiative to put away his sword, and then stepped forward with his chest puffed out, facing the more than ten Song army officers in front of him who were holding swords, and then spoke to Yang Weizhong behind him through these officers:
