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

Chapter 185: Miyano accepts Tiger Chier as his apprentice

“That’s Shangdang City.”

Pan Yuanshao's tone was somewhat excited.

With Shangdang City, Shangdang County was impregnable. Whether the Northern Wei moved south or the miscellaneous Hu moved east, they could not bypass this towering city.

The city wall is higher and thicker than that of Xiliang City. Outside is a wide moat and densely covered arrow towers. On the city wall, armored soldiers stand in rows with flags waving.

"What a majestic and handsome city."

Yuwen Yulou spoke, his expression slightly shaken.

"That's not."

Xiao Han said proudly: "In order to build this city, your young master has invested a lot of money and resources."

“But it’s all worth it.”

Several riders were galloping wildly. Just now, looking from a distance, Shangdang City seemed majestic enough, but when actually standing under the city, the visual effect was even more shocking.

"Kakakaka."

"Kakakaka."

The capstan on the city wall slowly turned, and a huge wooden bridge fell down and was built on the moat, and the gate of Shangdang City opened wide.

The two riders in the lead were Shi Qing and Gu Yun, and behind them were hundreds of armored soldiers.

"I greet you, my Lord, Madam."

The two men dismounted and clasped their fists.

"Enter the city."

Xiao Han grinned.

The city gate closed and they entered the inner city. The wind and snow became much calmer. They passed through several wide streets with few people around. Patrolling soldiers passed by every few minutes.

"Master Hou."

Gu Yun explained: "The city walls have been completed, but there are not enough people in the city, so we only built two large camps and the county government office."

"Once the snow melts this year, more people will move into Shangdang City."

"Not in a hurry."

Xiao Han said: "Shangdang County has a flat terrain and a vast territory with several large rivers. It will definitely be the second city in Xiliang in the future, so the planning of the city cannot be messed up."

"We must think carefully about this. This is also the place where we will open a market in the future, so we must take those miscellaneous tribes into consideration."

"Especially the three Shatuo guards. Leave them a piece of land, let them pay, and we will do the construction."

After walking for about half an hour, they arrived at the county governor's mansion. They rested for a night and then went to the two camps to reward the troops before the New Year.

After the New Year, he took a tour of the three Shatuo guards before returning to Xiliang City.

The snow in the first month of the year is much lighter.

In the Hou Mansion.

The maids and servants were divided into two groups. One group took brooms and swept the snow from various gardens, and then pulled it outside the city with horse-drawn carriages or piled it on the lake.

When the weather gets warmer, the snow melts and slowly flows out along the waterways.

Another group of servants took bamboo poles and knocked the icicles off the tiles along the eaves.

If you are not careful and someone passes under the eaves, these icicles may fall and easily hurt people.

The sky was as gloomy as usual, accompanied by a cold wind. The door opened, Xiao Han walked out, yawned, and looked up to see Qingyao practicing sword in the snow outside.

The sword energy and cold power in this girl's body became increasingly powerful, and her physical strength also increased a lot.

I fought with him until half the night last night, and I got up before dawn again this morning.

"Sir, wake up."

Miaoyu came in carrying a basin of hot water, followed by two maids, who helped him wash and undress.

"Have Tiger Chi and the others settled down?"

he asked casually.

"He will be temporarily assigned to the guards of the Marquis' Mansion."

She carefully straightened the wrinkles on Xiao Han's robe. "I've seen them. They are all strong men, especially Tiger Chi, who has a unique skeleton. Mr. Gong took a fancy to him two days ago and he pestered me to accept him as his apprentice."

"Just let him take it."

Xiao Han smiled and said, "Originally, I was planning to teach that idiot martial arts myself. Since Gong Ye thinks highly of me, well, I'll give him a disciple."

Hu Chi was born with the material for physical training, and he was as strong as a bull, so he was a good candidate for practicing the Nine Yang Magic Skill. However, if Gong Ye wanted to teach him, he would not object.

If the Vajra Indestructible Divine Power is good enough and is cultivated to the Great Perfection, one can fight against the Buddha's Great Vajra Realm and compete with the immortals on land.

What's more, the power of martial arts varies from person to person. Even if Hu Chi practiced the ordinary Golden Bell Cover, he only needed to practice the seventh or eighth level to easily break the Diamond Claw and kill Zhi Xuan.

If he can really inherit Gong Ye's mantle, it will be a huge help to Xiao Han in the future.

“That’s called cause and effect.”

Miaoyu said softly, "Sir, you were willing to take off your official robes for a child, so you deserve such a powerful general today."

"Heaven and earth are divided into yin and yang."

Xiao Han: "Whether a ruler should follow the way of the king or the way of the tyrant has been a topic of debate for many years throughout history."

"It is more of a fight for the sake of fighting, not a fight for the people of the world. A solitary yang cannot survive, and a solitary yin will surely wither. Only when yin and yang are united, and the king and the hegemon are used together, can the world be pacified and the people's hearts be gathered."

"Go call Tiger Chi, I'll take him to the Knife Grinding Hall."

Today in the Modao Hall, just like in the past, Gong Ye was sleeping soundly and Yu Wen Yulou was reading a book intently.

Tiger Chi followed Xiao Han and stepped into it. Gong Ye woke up and grinned, "Boy, you were not happy when I asked you to become my disciple, but now you are here obediently."

"Go ahead and call Master."

Xiao Han patted his shoulder. Although Hu Chi was somewhat reluctant, he did not want to go against the wishes of his master.

He stepped forward, kowtowed three times respectfully on the ground, and said sullenly, "Master."

The word "Master" really touched Miyano's heart, and he quickly helped Guo Ali up.

He winked and said, "Good disciple, follow your master to practice, and I will make sure you become a world-famous master in the future."

"How tall is it?"

Tiger Maniac pointed at Yuwen Yulou who was standing beside him and said, "Can you beat her?"

"can."

Miyano nodded.

The corners of Yuwen Yulou's mouth twitched inadvertently.

At this time, Xiao Han said: "Hu Chier, you must follow the master to practice well. You are not allowed to leave the Grinding Hall until I call you."

Then he glared at Miyano and said, "Don't be secretive. I gave this disciple to you, otherwise I would have taught him martial arts myself."

"My Lord, can I not accept him as my master? I want to learn martial arts from you."

Tiger Chi said eagerly.

"No, no, no."

Miyano said quickly: "You have kowtowed, I agreed, we are now master and disciple, you can't go back on your word."

"Besides, your master's martial arts skills are not much different from those of the Marquis."

"real or fake."

"of course it's true."

Miyano felt a little guilty.

After much persuasion, he finally tricked Hu Chi into becoming his disciple, and then he drove Xiao Han out of the Knife Sharpening Hall.

He was afraid that his beloved disciple would go back on his word.

"Son."

I happened to run into Xiaoyueer.

"What have you been busy with lately?"

He said, "I heard from Miaoyu that you haven't been seen for a few days."

"Something happened with the Demon Sect."

Xiao Yueer said softly, "The master is here and wants to see you. She has something important to discuss."

"what's up?"

He frowned.

Nie Si Niang, the Demon Sect's number one expert and the leader of the Yinkui Sect, is usually a mysterious figure that is hard to find.

We will not take action unless it is a major event.
