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

Chapter 122 Borrowing troops to restore the country
Inside the Tinghua Palace.

The tea is still warm.

The heavy snow was pouring down, accompanied by the howling wind, and the whole place was white. The blue pool in the distance was frozen early, and the sky and the earth were all white.

Xiao Han, dressed in a white robe, sat on a chair with his eyes closed, but in his mind he was wondering why Xue Changqing, the most romantic man in the world, came to see him.

The two had never met each other. After Dong Yue was destroyed, this man disappeared from the world.

Could it be that he is here to seek revenge on me, the former general of the Northern Army?

He opened his eyes and shook his head, but then felt it was unlikely.

People like Xue Changqing, although they have never shown up in public, are well aware of what is going on in the world.

It should be known that Xiliang and Jizhou are now almost at the point of war.

So that means you come here to seek refuge?

Feeling the vague breath, Xiao Han put away his thoughts and looked into the distance.

Amidst the boundless flying snow, two figures walked into Tinghua Garden one after the other.

"Sir, the guests are here."

Cao Ruixue spoke.

Their eyes met, and even though there were layers of wind and snow blocking their view, it couldn't block Xiao Han and Xue Changqing's gaze.

In the darkness, two faint auras collided.

Xiao Han narrowed his eyes.

This most romantic and powerful man in the world is so powerful that it is terrifying.

He waved his hand: "Xue'er, you step back first."

"promise."

After Cao Ruixue bowed, she left Tinghua Garden. Snow was pouring down heavily. The woman in green stood in the wind and snow, with her hands behind her back, looking at the man in the hall from afar.

Xiao Hanyi looked at Xue Changqing. The void trembled and visible ripples bloomed in Tinghua Garden.

"Hoohoo."

"Hoohoo."

The entire courtyard was split in the middle by the wind and snow, leaving a crack several feet wide that extended to the sky hundreds of feet high.

Xue Changqing didn't move, and Xiao Han didn't move either. The two just stared at each other, but the confrontation had already begun.

"Boom."

"Boom."

There was heavy snow and thunder, the clouds were rolling, two terrible auras collided, and two pieces of wind and snow roared.

"Kakakaka."

"Kakakaka."

The floor tiles under my feet were covered with cracks, and the hall behind me was also shaking.

"boom."

Xiao Han tapped the table with his fingers, and the next moment, the wind and snow in half of the courtyard surged, like a snow dragon, roaring towards the person in green.

Xue Changqing stood still as a mountain, his blue robe fluttering. After a moment, he raised his right hand and fluttered his sleeves slightly.

The thick snow and wind in the other half of the courtyard gathered together and headed towards the Snow Dragon.

The two pieces of wind and snow collided, and the qi of the two people was stimulated to the extreme.

Although you have only reached the Celestial Realm, you have already transcended that realm, with the wind and snow howling.

Every snowflake carries the cultivation of two people. It is not as powerful as a sword, but it is better than a sword.

"Master Xue has great accomplishments."

In the main hall.

Xiao Han opened his mouth and chuckled. The next moment, half of the courtyard was covered with snow, like a river in the sky, drowning the wind and snow in half of the courtyard.

outside the hall.

The figure in green trembled.

"General Pingxi's cultivation is indeed powerful. No wonder he was able to stop the Northern Wei military god Helian Bobo."

Xue Changqing's expression looked slightly solemn.

In the previous battle of energy, Xiao Han had a slight advantage.

And he is slightly inferior.

Although the two had never actually fought, within the Celestial Realm, Xue Changqing was inferior to Xiao Han.

This most romantic man in the world did not dare to be careless at this moment, and thought it was just a rumor spread by the underworld.

Unexpectedly, when he saw Xiao Han today, he was shocked by his strong cultivation.

No wonder he could fight Helian Bobo head-on.

"You're welcome." Xiao Han waved his hand slightly, and the next moment, the warm tea on the table flew out and went towards Xue Changqing.

The speed was neither fast nor slow, but in Xue Changqing's eyes, this cup of tea was not so delicious.

He stretched out his right hand, fingers spread out, and reached for the teacup.

He caught the cup steadily with his palm and then took it back. If you look carefully, you can see that Xue Changqing's hand trembled the moment he took the cup.

If he cannot accept this cup of tea, he will not be qualified to enter the palace and take a seat.

He picked up the lid, smoothed the leaves on the tea, took a sip, and with a wave of his sleeves, the teacup flew back.

Xiao Han reached out, caught it steadily, and placed it on the table.

"Mr. Xue, please take a seat."

The Pingxi general waved.

Xue Changqing nodded slightly, climbed the steps, stepped into the hall, and said: "General, aren't you afraid of bringing trouble upon yourself by taking in a wanted criminal like me?"

"As long as Mr. Xue doesn't tell the secret, I don't think anyone in this world will know."

Xiao Han said calmly: "Besides, it's just a cup of tea, it's nothing."

"The general's tea is good."

Xue Changqing praised.

"The Mingqian tea picked in the Qilian Mountains is a pity that there is not much. Otherwise, based on what Mr. Xue said, I would have given you some."

He shook his head.

In the fight between the two just now, Xiao Han had a slight advantage over Xue Changqing, and during the conversation, he naturally took the initiative.

"I have never heard of you walking around in the martial arts world in these years. I wonder why you came to my general's mansion today?"

"I have heard of the great general's reputation and would like to come and see him for myself."

Xie Changqing replied.

"In that case."

Xiao Han chuckled: "Then this general will not invite you to dinner."

"Is the general ordering us to leave?"

Xue Changqing frowned.

"Cough cough."

He put down his teacup: "You can think so."

"Does the general's order to recruit talented people count?"

Xue Changqing was not annoyed and spoke slowly.

"Of course it counts."

Xiao Han nodded.

"Just count it."

Xue Changqing said: "I think I have learned a lot, and I want to find a job in the general's mansion."

"Or is it that the general is afraid of the imperial court and dares not take him in?"

"Don't beat around the bush."

Xiao Han was too lazy to play dumb: "Mr. Xue, just tell me, what do you, an old official from Dongyue, want to see me for?"

"readily."

Xue Changqing said calmly, "I came here to make a deal with the general."

"What deal?"

Xiao Han had some guesses in his mind, but he still asked the question despite knowing the answer.

"Borrow troops to restore the country."

Xue Changqing spoke word by word.

Xiao Han's face was gloomy. "Mr. Xue, are you kidding? You are a wanted criminal, and you are looking for the second-rank Pingxi general to borrow troops to restore the country. Are you crazy, or am I crazy?"

“Neither one is crazy.”

Xue Changqing shook his head, looking at the man in white with his deep eyes, and said in a deep voice: "If the general had no ambition, there would naturally be no Xiliang Prefecture today. The second-rank Pingxi general is probably far from satisfying the general."

"What does this have to do with your deal?"

Xiao Han snorted: "Of course I have ambitions. Who in the world doesn't have ambitions? But some people are worthy of ambitions, while some people have ambitions but cannot see their own strengths."

"Master Xue, Dongyue has already been conquered by the United States. It was destroyed by the Jizhou Beifu Army's cavalry. There is no Dongyue now, and there will be no Dongyue in the future."

"Although Dongyue was destroyed, the Dongyue people still exist."

Xue Changqing's eyes were focused and a fierce aura emanated from his whole body, causing dark clouds to roll over the sky and the sound of thunder to be heard faintly.

This is his obsession, and also the reason why he has been traveling around the world over the years.
