At the beginning, I gave up my military power with a cup of wine, and I ascended the throne

Chapter 121 Strange Visitor

"General."

Yelu Heng and Shen Pei also came over, and feeling the extremely powerful sword energy, they both shrank their necks unconsciously.

"Go back."

He waved.

"promise."

The two men retreated.

There were originally seven knife slaves in the Knife Sharpening Hall, but after the battle of Qimen Pass, only two were left, and Yelu Heng was one of them.

His sword was stained with the blood of the three great northern masters.

of course.

Xiao Han did not treat them unfairly. He gave each of them a sword manual that could be used to practice to the level of a terrestrial immortal.

"Boom."

Above Xiliang City.

The snow was surging, dark clouds were rolling, and there was a faint sound of muffled thunder echoing. With just a thought, Xiao Han took action to isolate the aura.

He raised his leg and stepped into the knife sharpening hall. The knife energy and the sword energy collided, and flashes of cold light appeared, accompanied by a sharp breath.

The further in you go, the more terrifying the sword energy becomes, even condensing into threads and floating in the air.

"Om."

A sword energy came towards him, but before it got three feet away from him, it was bounced away by the invisible barrier.

Deep inside the knife grinding hall.

Dayue'er sat cross-legged with the seven-stringed harp placed horizontally across her knees, her beautiful eyes closed, and the powerful sword energy propped up her white clothes.

It is bulging, and the peak is vaguely visible. It is even more beautiful than Miaoyu and Cao Ruixue.

Mist was boiling in front of his chest, and a mysterious power was lingering around his body, seeming to be invisible and yet not visible.

That is the power of heaven and earth that comes when heaven and man interact.

Dayueer's mind was immersed in this matter.

After practicing Tiangang Sword Qi, her cultivation level improved rapidly. Xiao Han was not surprised that she broke through the Tianxiang Realm.

Besides, Dayue'er had been in seclusion in the Sword Sharpening Hall before, using Xiao Han's sword energy and sword intent to hone her own sword energy.

"Da Yue'er, relax, I'll help you."

Xiao Han opened his mouth and pointed with one finger. A huge amount of Sanyuan true Qi was injected into Dayueer's body, transforming into an extremely pure original internal force.

After pointing a finger, he retreated outside the knife sharpening hall and waited quietly.

And at this time.

Xiliang City.

Snowy day.

There was also an unexpected guest.

He was a man in his forties, very elegant, wearing a green gown, and looking around Xiliang City with curious eyes.

Even though it was snowing heavily, there were still a lot of people on the street, shoulder to shoulder. There were prosperous shops on both sides, and there were inns, restaurants and teahouses.

As the sky grew darker, many shops hung up lanterns, and the faint candlelight gathered together, lighting up the long street.

"Take a look, take a look at the colorful lantern umbrellas on display. You can try them even if you don't want to buy them."

"Come and buy all the freshly-made pancakes."

"Don't miss it if you're passing by. Today we're offering a 20% discount, and you can get more discounts if you stay."

Walking on the long street, the man had a feeling of being in reality and fantasy, as if this was not the bitter cold Xiliang, but a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

It is a rare place as prosperous as this even in the south of the Yangtze River. The streets are clean, the houses are lined up one after another, the lights are turned on, and the reflection of the heavy snow is a unique experience.

The elegant man suddenly raised his head, revealing a hint of surprise: "In Xiliang City, someone has achieved the Celestial Realm."

However, this breath disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if it had never appeared.

His expression became even more solemn, and he followed the direction of the breath, stopping from a distance away.

"Pingxi General's Mansion."

The elegant man looked at the mansion standing in the snow. With his excellent eyesight, he could see the words on the plaque through the layers of snow.

"You're right, this is the right time to come."

The man muttered to himself, then turned and left, finding an inn to stay in.

The next morning.

The door of the Knife Sharpening Hall opened, the powerful sword energy dissipated, and Dayueer walked out. Her swaying posture, every frown and smile exuded a charming demeanor, especially her eyes, which seemed to be able to bewitch souls.

"Thank you very much, sir."

The big moon is full and I bow to you.

"You can't just say thank you." Xiao Han shook his head.

"Hehe, I understand."

Dayueer smiled and nodded.

If Xiao Han hadn't taught her the skills and guided her in martial arts training, she would have only reached the Profound Realm in her lifetime. Even if she had the chance to step into the Celestial Realm, she didn't know how much time and effort it would take.

Yu Wenyulou, who was standing aside, was holding a sword manual in his hand, leaning against the stone wall, watching the two of them silently. For some reason, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

"Sir, please go back first. I will come to see you in the evening."

The big moon opens its red lips.

Xiao Han nodded slightly and left the Grinding Hall, while Dayueer walked towards Yuwen Yulou.

"Good sister, thank you for your hard work in guarding outside these days."

Her tone was gentle, and the expression she showed unintentionally made Yu Wen Yulou slightly distracted.

Yu Wenyulou, who had regained consciousness, just shook his head: "Nothing."

"It's snowing hard today, don't read anymore, go sit in my sister's yard, it's a good opportunity to talk about some private matters."

Dayue'er didn't say anything, she held Yuwen Yulou's hand and led him out.

"Back then, my sister and I were very famous in the Northern Wei martial arts world."

"Are you also from the Northern Wei martial arts world?"

Yuwen Yulou was surprised.

"Yes."

Dayueer took her arm, with a hint of nostalgia in her eyes, "Sister, have you heard of the name Xue Songguan?"

"It is said that."

Yuwen Yulou's beautiful eyes kept looking at her: "But Xue Songguan has disappeared from the Northern Wei martial arts world for several years."

"Could it be my sister?"

"Yes."

Dayueer nodded and blinked her beautiful eyes: "Didn't you expect that?"

As they were both from the Northern Wei Dynasty, Yuwen Yulou immediately felt a sense of closeness in her heart. Moreover, ever since she entered the general's mansion, Dayue'er had been taking good care of her, and they became familiar with each other.

“I didn’t expect that at all.”

Yuwen Yulou nodded.

They came to Xiaoyue'er's courtyard, lit a fire, sent the maid away, and started chatting.

Yuwen Yulou and Dayue'er were chatting in the yard next door, while Xiao Han was drinking tea and chatting in his own yard.

The snow was falling heavily.

I’m afraid the cold wind will hit the doors and windows.

Cao Ruixue came into the room with an envelope in her hand.

"Sir, there is a middle-aged scholar in his forties outside who wants to see you."

She spoke.

"What is your name?"

Xiao Han asked.

"I didn't say it."

Cao Ruixue shook her head: "He asked someone to pass a letter to me, saying that as long as you read the letter, you will know where the kilometer is."

After saying that, he handed over the envelope.

Xiao Han took it and opened it. Inside the envelope, there was no letter, only a chess piece.

A black chess piece.

"This person is so strange."

She muttered, "I was asked to deliver a letter, but they delivered a chess piece. Isn't this just a trick?"

Xiao Han played with the rose-black chess piece with a serious expression on his face.

"I already know the identity of the person who came."

With a little force from two fingers, the black chess piece was crushed.

"Take him to the Flower Palace."

"promise."

Cao Ruixue nodded.

A black piece.
