At the banquet, the cups were changed, and it was very lively.

Under the deliberate snub of Yuan Shao and others, Xu Ji and Chen Zhi were almost ignored.

Although Chen Zhi is not an arrogant person, he still can't help but feel angry when he sees this, and his tiger eyes flash from time to time.

Xu Ji was silent and unmoved.

When the wine was drunk, at Sun Ce's suggestion, everyone coaxed the handsome Zhou Lang to draw his sword and dance. Zhou Yu's literary style is graceful, he is a first-class character in the world, he can't help but let go of the prodigal body, talk and laugh, and he doesn't shirk when he hears the suggestions of the audience, he stands up, pulls out his sword, and orders the musician to play the piano on the side, and others dance the sword in the big tent with the beautiful music.

Zhou Yu was originally a fencing master, although the horse combat kung fu was average, but the close combat was a rare opponent in Sun Ce's army. It provoked a shocking applause.

The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway. When Xu Ji and the others saw Zhou Yu's skills, their eyes were full of horror, they didn't expect that this Zhou Yu was so deeply immersed in swordsmanship. The sword is like thunder, and the body is as light as catkins, this Zhou Yu wields the sword in his hand with all kinds of killing beauty, which is pleasing to the eye.

As for Zhang Song and a group of celebrities who don't practice martial arts, they just think that the young man in front of him is extremely beautiful, and there is an indescribable mysterious rhythm, which is refreshing.

"The husband has made meritorious contributions in the world; Meritorious service and fame are comforting life. I will be drunk; I'm going to get drunk and moan! Everyone was stunned, they didn't expect Zhou Yu to sing and dance wildly.

Xu Ji was even more shocked because he knew the origin of Zhou Yu's poem.

It was supposed to be given to Jiang Gan, who was in the middle of the group meeting. I didn't expect to hear it today.

This Zhou Yu is really an all-rounder. The pronunciation of each word of his poem is just right and stuck in the most melodious part of the melody played by the piano operator, which actually makes people feel that "big beads and small beads fall on the jade plate". From this, we can see that this person has an amazing talent and talent in music. The most rare thing is that this Zhou Yu's swordsmanship has also changed unpredictably with his poems. Often within a sentence, there are different kinds of rigidity and softness, rapidity and sparseness, which is as if adding some gold and silver threads to a piece of clothing.

So far.

Everyone was intoxicated by Zhou Yu's sword dance.

Xu Ji is no exception. At this time, Zhou Yu faced Xu Ji again, a pair of phoenix eyes lit up, and his body moved ghostly. I don't know what kind of body technique I used, Zhou Yu had already come to Xu Ji in the next moment.

Sword out. Straight to Xu Ji's eyebrows.

Does Zhou Yu want to assassinate Xu Ji? The crowd almost screamed.

Sun Ce stood up even more in shock. Caring is chaotic. Although he didn't believe that Zhou Yu would do such a stupid thing, he was afraid that Xu Jihui would take the opportunity to make trouble, so he couldn't help but let out a "heh" and stood up.

The silver light flashed in front of Xu Ji's eyes, but Xu Ji and Chen Zhi did not move at all. The two of them had good eyesight, and of course they knew that Zhou Yu's sword had no killing intent in it, and they would not threaten Xu Ji at all.

In an instant, the long sword in Zhou Yu's hand conjured countless unbelievably beautiful sword flowers in front of Xu Ji. In the flickering of the sword light, the snow-white sword light gradually intertwined. It seemed to form a mirror, shaking Xu Ji's face to become innocent in front of everyone.

That's when everyone understood. Later, Zhou Yu did this just to test Xu Ji's eyesight and courage, so his nervous mood calmed down.

Of course, there are also people who are slightly disappointed in this place, such as Yuan Shao and others. I can't wait for Xu Ji to be stabbed to death by Zhou Yu with a sword, although they all know that this is impossible.

However, Xu Ji didn't pay attention to it at all, and even picked up a glass of wine and drank it slowly. Zhou Yu originally admired Xu Ji's vision and courage in his heart. Now it's even more terrifying.

I saw Xu Ji's hand holding the cup moving slowly, and it passed as if nothing was under his flickering sword light. He put it to his lips and took a sip. Then put it down again.

The movements are so fluent that they are hairy, it is better to be like they are brothers with Zhou Yu, and they are generally familiar with a set of martial arts that have been practiced thousands of times, and they will not make mistakes.

Xu Ji did this to say that everything was under his control, not only did he already see Zhou Yu's intentions, but also hinted to Zhou Yu that he could snatch the long sword at any time. How could this not make Zhou Yu frightened?

The people here already knew that Xu Ji was powerful in terms of resourcefulness, but few people had seen Xu Ji's skills, and who knew that Xu Ji's martial arts would be so strong. Inexplicably, Zhou Yu's eyes appeared in front of Huang Zhong, who was in the south of Jingzhou at this time.

He knew in his heart that this Xu Ji's skills, not to mention, just this vision and bearing were enough to be called a level master with Huang Zhong.

Zhou Yu was in a bad mood, so he was ready to stop dancing and stop dancing, after all, if he was not in the mood, his sword dance would be very tasteless. As everyone knows, at this moment, Zhou Yu suddenly felt that something was wrong, his heart moved, and he said "Huh" in his mouth, and turned his head to look at the musician behind him.

Because of the back, the long sword in his hand that was stabbing at the tip of Xu Ji's nose was too forceful, and it stabbed down solidly.

At the same time, Xu Ji had a feeling in his heart, snorted coldly, and popped out his middle finger suddenly.

With the sound of "dang", the dragon sound sounded in the big tent, which was very melodious. Zhou Yu's body shook, a fiery red face flashed over his face, his body took a step back, and turned his head to look at Xu Ji.

Chen Zhi snorted coldly, and the murderous aura surged out, overwhelmingly towards Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu immediately fell into a cold cellar, crying bitterly in his heart.

Although Chen Zhi did not get up, Zhou Yu had a clear feeling that if Chen Zhi drew his sword at this moment, he would be a lifeless corpse in the next moment. The people around him had already put down the center of the earth and were lifted up again, but they didn't expect such a strange change to happen, and they couldn't help but "ah" out.

That's when it happened. The figure flashed, and a person stood in front of Zhou Yu. It's a pity that it's a little late, if Chen makes a move, Zhou Yu will definitely die. And when this person arrived, Zhou Yu was already a corpse.

But Chen Zhi held back, of course, it was the result of Xu Ji's stopping. Xu Ji knew that Chen was going to kill an example, but if he killed Zhou Yu here. I don't know what Sun Ce will do, if Sun Ce tells the fake disappearance in a rage. Then all my hard work for so long will be in vain.

The most worrying thing is that it may have a great impact on things in Chang'an. That's more than worth the loss.

Therefore, Xu Ji patted Chen Dao under the desktop. Tell him not to do anything. Chen will understand. He no longer focused on Zhou Yu's body.

Zhou Yu only felt a light pressure on his body, and then he resumed his breathing. In the next moment, he found that there was a majestic figure in front of him.

After taking a closer look, he realized that it was Sun Ce. He couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

I saw Sun Ce clasping his fists to Xu Ji and said sincerely: "General Xu Ji." Gong Jin drank a few more cups today, and he couldn't help but have some offenses from Meng Lang, he was offended just now, and I hope General Xu Ji will forgive me. Everyone was silent and looked at Xu Ji. I want to see how Xu Jizhu handles this matter.

Yuan Shao's face was obviously gloating. As the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao should have spoken out to persuade him, but now he was watching the fire from the other side. Obviously, it depends on the jokes of both sides, and if Xu Ji doesn't handle it well, he will end up with a reputation for bullying the small. But if you don't pay attention to it, you will lose face.

Of course, if Xu Ji has the heart to save Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's face, it will definitely be a good thing for him, and it can make Sun Ce and Zhou Yu stand on his side. Xu Ji looked at Zhou Yu, whose face was a little pale, and smiled: "General Sun Ce doesn't have to take it to heart, I don't think Gongjin has drunk too much." ”

Xu Ji said this. Sun Ce's face changed, and he thought that Xu Ji was going to make trouble before he wanted to speak, but Xu Ji waved his hand to stop Sun Ce's speech.

In the astonishment of everyone, Xu Ji stood up leisurely, picked up a glass of wine and came to Zhou Yu's side and smiled slightly. said to Zhou Yu, "Gongjin, I salute you with this glass of wine." Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment, then came over, and looked at Xu Ji inexplicably.

Xu Ji smiled and said: "Zhou Yu, you are a good person, a good sword, and a better poem!" General Sun Ce has your assistance. We will definitely be able to achieve great things in the future! ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, but they didn't expect that Xu Ji did not embarrass Zhou Yu, but spoke highly of him. You must know that Zhou Yu is young. It is inevitable to be looked down upon, although it is now famous in Jingzhou. But in the Central Plains, Zhou Yu's place name is not loud, and now Xu Ji's unique posture certainly attracts people a little surprised.

Zhou Yu is also a free and easy character. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "General Xu Ji is polite, but I know that General Xu Ji must have another reason for inviting me to drink!" ”

Xu Ji laughed and said, "I knew I couldn't hide it from Gong Jin." Everyone looked at each other and wondered, and they didn't know why.

Xu Ji said in a deep voice: "Maybe others think that Gong Jin's last sword is to stab me, but I know that Gong Jin actually has another reason. In the astonishment of everyone, he stretched out his finger and pointed at the musician, and said indifferently: "Gong Jin turned around just now because this musician played the wrong rhythm in the piano?" ”

Of course, there is a reason for Xu Ji to say this, later generations know that Zhou Yu has a good rhythm, saying that it is "the song is wrong, Zhou Langgu", and Zhou Yu's sudden turn back just now was obviously caused by a mistake in the musician's playing. When Zhou Yu heard this, his whole body trembled, and an incomparable frustration rose in his heart, he didn't know much about Xu Ji, but the other party saw his name as an unknown little person so thoroughly, and the uncomfortable feeling was like having no clothes on his body.

It's horrible.

Xu Ji looked at Zhou Yu's expression, and was very satisfied, just today's incident gave Zhou Yu an unfathomable impression, and once this impression was established, it was like a nightmare, and it was a kind of calculation that Zhou Yu had no chance to fight back. Of course, Xu Ji did this because he deliberately inflicted psychological frustration on Zhou Yu, you must know that Zhou Yu has always thought that he is superior to himself, and he is even more proud because he saw through Xu Ji's plan to fake disappearance.

But after Xu Ji did this, Zhou Yu suddenly realized that he didn't see through the other party at all, but the other party seemed to see through himself. It made him very uncomfortable.

Once the mind opens a gap, then it is not difficult for the person to be defeated. Xu Ji sneered in his heart, and then said in a soft voice that could be heard by everyone: "What a Zhou Gongjin!" Just worthy of "the song is wrong, Zhou Langgu", hahaha! ”

When everyone heard this, they were stunned at first, and then they immediately admired Xu Ji's talent. Completely forgot about friend or foe.

Xu Ji laughed in his heart, he could be considered to be buying and selling now. Zhou Yu knew that although he had been praised by Xu Ji. Picked up his life again. But in fact, I lost a game, and I hated it in my heart. Only with Sun Ce returned to the table and sat down.

Xu Ji also retreated. saw Chen Zhi looking at himself with admiration, and even stretched out his thumb under the seat. Xu Ji laughed. Zhang Ying and Xu Ji are the most innocent, and they have always had a relationship with Xu Ji's peers. Seeing Xu Ji's exit into a chapter, he said with a smile: "What I said, why did General Wenlie suddenly make a move, it turned out to be this reason!" Hey! 'The song is wrong, Zhou Langgu', that's a good thing, in my opinion. Zhou Gongjin's talent in music will not be worse than Miss Cai Yan, who is now settled in Yanzhou, I remember that Miss Cai Yan did not say that people are 'enemies playing the piano', one before and one after, one man and one woman, one north and one south, it can really be said that they complement each other. However, the difference is that Miss Cai Yan uses Shuangquan's color art, while Zhou Gongjin uses the sword in his hand, which is higher and which is lower is really unpredictable, it seems that when Zhou Gongjin personally visited Miss Cai Yan in Yanzhou can he distinguish the winner from the high. The crowd was amazed. I didn't expect this seemingly rude Zhang Ying to say such wonderful things. Even Xu Ji was a little impressed by him.

Although Zhang Ying is a rough person, he knows where Xu Ji's purpose is, Liu Miao and Sun Ce are enemies, if it weren't for the alliance. Zhang Yingcai will not sit with Sun Ce.

At this time, seeing that Xu Ji made the two of them lose ground, he was very happy, so he spoke. On the surface, it seems to be complimenting Zhou Yu. In fact, he was satirizing Zhou Yu, saying that he couldn't even compare with a woman like Cai Yan. actually wanted to dance and play with a sword in front of Xu Ji, it was really beyond his strength. He also said that he went to visit Cai Yan, which implied that Zhou Yu would be captured by Xu Ji sooner.

After all, as Sun Ce's military advisor, how could Zhou Yu go to Yanzhou to visit Cai Yan? That can only be achieved if he is caught by Xu Ji.

Zhou Yu naturally hated it in his heart when he heard this, but at this time, he couldn't lose his manners, so he had to smile and said: "Miss Cai Yan is the master of the world, and our Jiangnan people are rude, if we can invite Miss Cai Yan to come to Jiangnan, it will be a blessing." The implication is that Xu Ji may not be his opponent in the future, maybe he can pacify Yanzhou and take Cai Yan to the south of the Yangtze River.

Everyone was stunned, they didn't expect this Zhou Yudi to be so eloquent.

Where will Zhang Ying be Zhou Yu's opponent? Dumbfounded. Xu Ji said coldly on the side: "Zhou Gongjin has this Yaxing, how can I, Xu Ji, not accompany him?" In the future, I will definitely accompany Miss Cai Yan to travel all over the Yangtze River and pass on the guzheng skills of the Central Plains to the people of Jingzhou without reservation. ”

Although these words were politely said, there was an absolute confidence in them that they would not get Jiangnan and sweep away Sun Ce's vow not to give up.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu immediately changed color when they heard Wen. Zhang Ying was annoyed and embarrassed by Zhou Yu's words just now, and only then did she come to her senses, and when she saw that Zhou Yu's face was wrong, she snorted coldly: "When the time comes, General Wenlie must call me brother, I want to see who is the best player between Zhou Gongjin and Miss Cai Yan." ”

The owner of the tent is not a fool, although he doesn't know why Xu Ji is particularly targeting Sun Ce, but when he saw Zhang Ying constantly interjecting on the side, he thought that Xu Ji was angry at Sun Cejun's attack on Liu Xuan when he disappeared a period ago. In any case, Liu Ji and Xu Ji have always been good friends, and they have set up a barrier for Xu Ji to face him, so it makes sense for Xu Ji to challenge Zhou Yu for this.

Although it makes sense that Cao Ren, Liu Xuan's ally, has been silent, everyone has been attracted by the back-and-forth between the two sides, and they are even more impressed by the ability of both sides to use Cai Yan's words to bring double entendres. Where would you care about such an unobtrusive place? Even Zhang Ying didn't know the truth that Xu Ji was fighting back because he was inadvertently used by Zhou Yu to take advantage of the opportunity to seize Jingzhou, but thought that Xu Ji was really standing up for himself, and he couldn't help but be bold.

Yuan Shao saw that Xu Ji turned his hands into clouds and covered his hands for rain, and in a blink of an eye, he became the focus of the banquet, and he hated it in his heart. As far as I know, when the horse led her troops to leave Luoyang, Miss Cai Yan took Lord Cai Yong's collection of books to Chenliu, and over the years, I don't know if Miss Cai Yan has married Mrs. Xu? Is it too abrupt for you to juxtapose Mr. Zhou Yu and Miss Cai Yan? Zhang Ying was embarrassed when she heard this.

Xu Ji glanced at Yuan Shao and sneered in his heart, of course he knew that Yuan Shao did this to use his own hand to hit Sun Ce, and then deliberately showed favor to Sun Ce as a favor. Then Xu Ji opened his mouth and said: "Ben Chu Gong, this is not right, the reason why I took Miss Cai away back then was entrusted by Cao Mengde, and Miss Cai and my wife are like sisters, is it true that my lord wants me Xu Ji to go home and not be able to enter the room?" ”

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu glanced at each other, of course they knew Yuan Shao's intentions, but they didn't want to get too stiff with Xu Ji, and they knew that Yuan Shao was not Xu Ji's opponent at all, and there was no need for him to get too close to Yuan Shao, which would only anger Xu Ji even more. Zhou Yu took advantage of Yuan Shao's speech and whispered in Sun Ce's ear: "Lord, Xu Ji is here to Liwei today, but I am afraid that people who disagree with him will inevitably be ridiculed by him and end up disgraced." ”

Sun Ce nodded, and as soon as Yuan Shao's words fell, Sun Ce smiled and said: "The alliance leader said that he was joking, if these words were known by Gong Jin's newlywed wife, and Gong Jin was not allowed to enter the house, wouldn't it be bad?" Zhou Yu is only afraid that he will hold a grudge for life. ”

The crowd burst into laughter. Yuan Shao's eyes flashed with displeasure, obviously dissatisfied with Sun Ce's ignorance. Xu Ji's heart moved: Zhou Yu is newly married? Could it be Little Joe?

At this time, the smell of tension at the banquet is getting heavier and heavier, and it is not at all something that can be covered up by a small voice.

Xu Ji looked at the people in front of him and sneered in his heart.

Is that all you have to do? Let the horses come! (To be continued......)
