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

Chapter 85: Northern Wei Family, Yuwen Yulou

The servant saw that although Yuwen Yulou was a woman, she was equipped with two swords and was alone, so she was most likely a man of the world, so he came towards the sword-grinding hall.

She poured a cup of hot tea, put her luggage away, opened the window, and the cold wind blew towards her with flakes of flying snow.

The air blew on her face, chilling her to the bone. She took off her hat, revealing her breathtakingly beautiful face.

"The Knife Grinding Hall."

She murmured to herself, with a hint of brilliance in her eyes. As a member of a noble family in the Northern Wei Dynasty, she was very familiar with the name Xiao Han.

No matter they are children of aristocratic families or ordinary people.

Over the years, I have heard news about Xiao Han from time to time.

What month and day.

Xiao Han led the army to defeat the Northern Wei cavalry.

What month and day.

How many people from the Northern Wei Dynasty did Xiao Han kill, and how many heads of Northern Wei soldiers did he chop off?

these years.

Northern Wei Dynasty.

The two people he hated the most were Zhenbei Hou Xie Xuanli and the butcher Xiao Han.

I scold you no matter what.

When I am in a good mood, I ask God when Zhenbei Hou will die.

When I'm in a bad mood, I curse Xiao Han, the butcher, and ask why he hasn't died yet.

But Yuwen Yulou did not have much hatred for this butcher.

She left Northern Wei and went to Western Liang not because of any hatred for her country or family.

I just heard about Modaotang, so I wanted to come and take a look.

Day two.

Yuwen Yulou was wearing a wide white robe and carrying two sheathed swords on his waist as he ran towards the Pingxi General's Mansion.

The waiter cleared the leftovers on the table and said to the innkeeper, "Well, here's another ignorant fellow who wants to go to the knife sharpening hall to test his sword with the general."

"This is what people in the Jianghu are like."

The shopkeeper said without even looking up, "You are so arrogant. You don't even know your own weight. Are you qualified to challenge the general? You are just dreaming."

"It's just a pity to lose such a beautiful girl."

"Hurry up and get the roster out. The experts from the Criminal Investigation Department will be here soon."

Less than half an hour later.

Yu Wen Yulou walked to the gate of a spacious mansion. There were soldiers guarding the gate. She raised her head and glanced at the plaque.

Well, that's right.

The plaque reads "Pingxi General's Mansion".

"Are you here to sharpen your knives in the knife sharpening hall as well?"

The soldier guarding the gate saw her appearance and took the initiative to ask.

"Ah."

Yuwen Yulou nodded
"Come with me."

One of them opened the door, carried Yuwen Yulou into the Pingxi General's Mansion, and went to the Modao Garden.

"Here comes another one."

The servant who was sweeping the snow saw it from a distance and said to the maid next to her, "This is the number one today."

“It should be the fifth one.”

"The first few are just people seeking fame and reputation. Not to mention asking the general to test their swords, they can't even enter the sword sharpening hall."

"It seems to be a woman."

“She’s really pretty.

“I don’t know if she can get in.”

"I'm looking at Xuan."

"It should be similar to those people before. I want to try my luck. If I'm lucky, I might become famous."

Yu Wen Yulou moved his ears and heard clearly the words of the two maids in the distance.

The soldiers led him to the Modao Garden and stopped.

"Master Shen Pei, someone is here to test the sword."

"Who?"

Shen Pei walked out, holding a long sword in his arms. The moment he saw the woman in white, he snorted coldly, "Another piece of trash."

Then he turned around and said, "Follow me."

"Such a strong murderous aura."

Yuwen Yulou was slightly surprised. She could feel that Shen Pei was emitting a sharp sword aura and murderous intent from his whole body.

"This person is practicing the killing sword."

"The General's Mansion in Pingxi is indeed not simple."

She secretly thought.

"Another one?" Yelu Heng, who was sweeping the snow, raised his head and glanced at the woman in white following Shen Pei. He paused and said, "She is stronger than the previous ones."

Then he continued to sweep the snow.

Yelu Heng's casual glance made Yuwen Yulou shudder.

Master.

Another master.

She could still see through Shen Pei to some extent, but she could not see through Yelu Heng at all.

"That's the Grinding Hall."

Shen Pei pointed to a simple stone house under the bamboo forest in the courtyard, and a stone tablet next to it.

"The general is inside."

"Thank you."

Yuwen Yulou nodded, clasped his fists and said to the inside of the stone house: "Yuwen Yulou of the Northern Wei Dynasty has come to the knife sharpening hall to test his knife with General Xiao."

"Northern Wei?"

Shen Pei, who had already turned around, suddenly stopped when he heard these two words, and then drew out the long sword in his arms without warning.

"laugh."

The cold and beautiful blade slashed towards the woman in white, and Yuwen Yulou took a step forward to avoid the blade.

"laugh."

He drew out the blunt knife more than three inches long from his waist and blocked Shen Pei's long knife.

"Why the sneak attack?"

Yu Wenyulou's pretty face turned cold.

“You are from Northern Wei.”

Shen Pei's eyes were filled with murderous intent: "I think testing the sword is fake, assassinating the general is real."

Inside the knife-grinding hall.

Xiao Han, who was comprehending the Three Gale Swords, opened his eyes.

"Yuwen Yulou."

The corners of his mouth raised, and he immediately said: "Shen Pei, stop it."

Upon hearing this, Shen Pei immediately withdrew.

The woman in white sheathed her knife, and when she turned around, a man in a white robe had appeared at the door of the knife sharpening hall.

"General, this man is an assassin from the Northern Wei Dynasty."

Shen Pei spoke, staring at Yuwen Yulou with an unfriendly look.

"Have you ever seen an honest assassin?"

Yuwen Yulou snorted coldly.

"If General Xiao does not dare to accept the challenge of the Northern Wei people, I will leave now."

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute."

Xiao Han put his hands behind his back and chuckled, "Are you Yuwen Yulou?"

"General, do you know me?"

She turned around, standing in the heavy snow, her eyes staring at the man from afar.

That man was also wearing a white robe. The biting cold wind blew the heavy snow, splashing it into the knife-grinding hall.

When he met those eyes, Yu Wen Yulou suddenly had an illusion.

It seemed that everything about me, inside and out, could not escape his gaze.

This naked feeling made her extremely uncomfortable. She turned her head away and no longer looked at Xiao Han.

"heard about it."

The man in white robe nodded slightly.

"After all, your father's name is a very famous one."

When Xiao Han said this, his expression was extremely amused, and it was unclear whether it was a compliment or criticism.

The white-clothed woman's expression became even colder. She placed her right hand on the hilt of the knife at her waist and said in a deep voice, "I don't have a father."

"It doesn't matter whether there is one or not."

Xiao Han disagreed: "Since you are here to sharpen your sword, you should be aware of this general's rules."

"In the knife sharpening hall, I have placed ten of the world's top sword manuals, which can enter the realm of earthly immortals, and three thousand top-grade martial arts books, which can enter the realm of celestial phenomena."

"If you can enter the Sword Grinding Hall and surpass this general by one move or two, you can choose any martial art you want."

"If you lose, you will stay in the General Pingxi's Mansion and be at my service."

"Is it possible?"

He looked at Yuwen Yulou and said calmly: "If you are willing, you can draw your sword. If you are not willing, leave on your own."

"If you don't want to do it after you draw your sword, you can only leave after you cut off the hand that is using the sword."
