Resentment filled Wei Kuang's brow as he thrust out another stroke: "Good Family Son of the Same Commandery!"
Wang Yang swept it back with a line: "Together Vow to Join the Warriors."
Cheers rose from every side again!
Bracing a hand on the table, Wei Kuang stared at Wang Yang and said urgently, "Ride Out from Yunzhong!"
After a little thought, Wang Yang said in a low voice, "Withered Grass for Ten Thousand Li."
"Wonderful! Wonderful!" Le Zhan swung his arm excitedly, shouting his approval.

Xie Xinghan's starry eyes sparkled as she clapped her delicate hands. "What a line-Dare to Penetrate Deep While Checking the Enemy!"
Liu Cheng nodded involuntarily, then froze.

Wei Kuang choked for a moment, and Liu Cheng entered the fray. "Clash Again at Close Quarters!"
Wang Yang smiled. "His fief increased by eight hundred households."

Wei Kuang inwardly praised Liu Cheng's response even as he joined him in
