"Just now, which old bastard said that this Marquis was useless?”
A tender voice suddenly rang out, causing the hearts of all the officials and guests to tremble.
Lu Buwei's eyelids twitched as he turned his gaze to the young man that everyone was paying attention to.
It was him…?
The youth was wearing a grayish-red robe. His oval face was outstanding and could even be described as demonic.
Immediately, Chu He strode out of the wine table under the gazes of many people.
The young man stood before Lu Buwei with a straight face. He stood in front of the giant mountain that controlled most of the forces in the State of Qin.
"Are you the one who said that this Marquis is trash?”Chu He sucked on the savory chicken drumstick in his hand and asked innocently.
Lu Buwei's eyes darkened. He spread his hands and explained,"
"Marquis An Le, don't be angry. This old man is only stating the facts. I think everyone here knows how much Marquis is capable of, right?”
"Enough. This Prince knows what to do. Xiangguo Lu and Marquis An Le need not say anything more.”The King of Qin, Ying Zheng, felt that something was not right, so he said immediately.
In order to avoid ruining his plan, he wanted to resolve this matter as soon as possible.
However, what Chu He said next shocked everyone present!
"Since you call this marquis trash, then this marquis will call you an old turtle…Old bastard!"
Chu He raised his head in disdain and pointed his nose at the old man in an extremely disdainful manner.
Since he had already walked out, he was naturally prepared to turn around and confront the other party. He no longer planned to remain silent.
Although he was aloof from worldly affairs, it didn't mean that he liked being stepped on!
If I don't show you my strength, you'll think I'm easy to bully.
"You... Lord Marquis, your words are too much!" Lu Buwei's face was flushed red. He was clearly flustered and exasperated by these words.
All the officials and guests present stared with their eyes wide open. They looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
After all, the noble status of the two was there. One was a Marquis, the other was a Prime Minister, and the Emperor was still beside them.
If they said anything wrong, it would probably bring disaster.
Chu He waved his hand and spat out the chicken bone in his mouth.
"Wait, in order to prove that I'm not trash, I can allow you to test me as you please, Duke Lu. Whether it's civil or martial, you can set any questions!”
"Haha, Lord Marquis has great courage!”Gritting his teeth, Lu Buwei turned around, looked at Ying Zheng, the King of Qin, and cupped his hands, shouting,"
"If Lord Marquis is unable to prove it, then doesn't that mean that His Majesty's judgment is lacking?!”
It had been many years since Lu Buwei had been provoked like this, and it had happened at such a grand banquet in front of so many people.
This was…This was simply a great humiliation!
Chu He's gaze moved slightly. He thought to himself that this old fox's ability to pull aggro was quite impressive.
"If this Marquis is unable to do it, then it would naturally be a waste of the Great King's appreciation. Regarding this diplomatic mission, I believe that my ability is still insufficient!”
Chu He cupped his hands and bowed to the King of Qin. He stood side by side with Lu Buwei and suddenly changed his tone.
"But if I can prove it, then would the Prime Minister be willing to call himself an old bastard?”
"Tonight in front of so many children of ministers, I believe Lord Marquis will not go back on his word, right?!”
Lu Buwei clenched his fists in his sleeves and answered without thinking," Sure.”
"Regarding this small banquet competition between this old man and Lord Marquis, what does Your Majesty think?”
Lu Buwei had never taken a young duke seriously.
On the contrary, he wanted to take this opportunity to disrupt Ying Zheng's diplomatic mission to Han Country.
When they heard the heated conversation between the two, the development of this matter was simply unbelievable to everyone present.
Chu, oh, Marquis An Le's current behavior was completely different from before. He was truly too daring.
They were all stunned!
The king of Qin, who was sitting on the throne, also had a complicated expression on his face. He felt troubled.
However, when he saw the young man's confident gaze, his thoughts seemed to have changed.
This was a 'magical' look that Ying Zheng had never seen in Chu He's eyes before.
The latter seemed to have become another person!
Because of this gaze, he suddenly had the urge to trust the other party for once.
"Alright, I'll treat it as livening up the atmosphere for all of you.”The King of Qin, Ying Zheng, nodded and said, pretending to be relaxed.
With the King's approval, Lu Buwei heaved a sigh of relief.
To be honest, he was really afraid that the King of Qin would deliberately cover up for this child and let this matter go unsettled.
Very good, he could now deal with this ignorant little brat in front of him!
"Lord Marquis, I can see that you not only have the bearing of a general, but also the aura of a scholar. You must have read a lot of poetry and books, and your literary talent is soaring…"
"Then this old man will test you on the Book of Songs this time.”
Lu Buwei looked around at the guests and waved his thick sleeves in what he thought was a very cool manner. He said lightly,"
"If you can compose a poem in the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn and satisfy everyone, then this old man will be convinced.”
He said it so easily. Composing a poem in half an incense's time was probably something that even the most famous literary genius in the country would find difficult to achieve.
Just as Lu Buwei was about to order the servants to carry the incense burner for the timer…
Just as many of the surrounding officials were in the mood to watch a show, waiting for Marquis An Le to make a fool of himself.
Just as the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, was frowning and feeling uneasy…
Suddenly, the young man's voice, which carried a bit of strength, clearly fell into everyone's ears and echoed continuously,"
" The vast and mighty sorrow of parting is like the setting sun, and the whistling whip points to the east to reach the end of the world. Falling red is not a heartless thing, but turned into spring mud to protect the flowers.
Chu He walked out without thinking and straightened his back in front of thousands of kings and generals. Finally, he said to the King of Qin in a deep voice,
"Falling red is not a heartless thing. It can be turned into spring mud to protect the flowers!”
At this moment, everyone's expression changed.
