Chapter 81 Testing
After Xu Fengnian went to the dungeon, he invited Ye Qi and the other two to go to Tingchao Pavilion.

Those who went together included Xu Fengnian's younger brother Xu Longxiang, Nangong Pushe with a white fox face, the maids Qingniao, Hongshu, Jiangni, and Jian Jiuhuang.

Jiang Ni, the former princess of Chu State, has now become his maid.

Xu Longxiang threw the fishing rod in his hand, and the terrifying force created huge ripples in the water.

This made Nangong Pushe, who was standing by, look surprised.

Xu Fengnian ate the tribute: "My younger brother Xu Longxiang."

Xu Fengnian introduced him casually, but the white fox-faced man on the side knew very well that this person was born in the Vajra Realm, which was rare in the world.

Nangong Pushe and Xu Fengnian came to the Beiliang Palace just to enter the Tingchao Pavilion.

Xu Fengnian promised him and only allowed her to stay inside for one hour.

The White Fox Face proposed a condition that would allow her to stay there permanently.

"First I need to know your name." Xu Fengnian said.

"Nangong Pushe."

"The Beimang Nangong family."

It is said that Beimang and Beiliang are mortal enemies, so why would the Beimang family come here to practice martial arts?

After a while, a blue-white phoenix from Jinzhou flew over. This top-grade six-year-old phoenix was worth a fortune, but right now it was just helping Xu Fengnian deliver a message, which said that Chu Lushan wanted to see him.

The Northern Liang King Xu Xiao had six righteous sons, each of whom commanded a large number of troops, and Chu Lushan was one of them.

Chu Lushan was particularly attentive after meeting Xu Fengnian: "Prince, I finally see you, my prince. Prince, I have been thinking about you day and night for the past three years, and I have lost my appetite."

Chu Lushan was the most flattering of the six righteous princes. Although he was known to be cruel and brutal, he was as obedient as a cat in front of Xu Fengnian.

And the purpose of his visit this time was to take Xu Fengnian to visit a brothel.

"A new courtesan has come to Zijin Tower. She is extremely talented and beautiful, and is especially good at sword dancing." Chu Lushan said mysteriously.

Xu Fengnian has always been known as a playboy, so this brothel was also a place he often visited. So he stopped fishing and happily went there, just to see if he could encounter the assassin.

Just when Xu Fengnian was about to take Ye Qi and the other two to the brothel, Chu Lushan cast a hostile look at Ye Qi and the other two.

"Sir, it's better not to go with these three people. I suspect they are spies sent by the enemy."

"It's not up to you to decide whether you can go or not." Ye Qigang had just come here and had never been to a brothel before. He was also curious about what the brothels here looked like.

Chu Lushan snorted and laughed: "You three are from unknown places, so what can you do if you go?"

"You don't know that we are now the prince's retainers, so we can naturally protect him if we go there." Ye Qi said.

"Protect the prince? I think it's okay. With your frail bodies, especially that pretty boy holding a handkerchief, who looks so sick, it's really laughable to say that he can protect the prince." Chu Lushan looked at Guo Jia with contempt.

"Then you compete with him." Ye Qi made a gesture of invitation.

Xu Fengnian did not stop the farce in front of him. He also wanted to see the cultivation level of the three people in front of him.

In the darkness of Tingchao Pavilion, two people were paying attention to the situation here.

One was Li Yishan, the master of Xu Fengnian from Tingchaoting, who was playing chess while listening to the conversation below.

The other one is Xu Xiao.

Before Chu Lushan came to Tingchao Pavilion, he had met Xu Xiao once. Xu Xiao asked Chu Lushan to deliberately provoke a dispute to test Ye Qi and the other two.

After meeting Ye Qi and the other two, Chu Lushan made a general evaluation of them. He thought that the strongest one, Wang Jian, was the most powerful, followed by Ye Qi, and the weakest was the pretty boy Guo Jia.

Unexpectedly, they sent out the weakest pretty boy, which made Chu Lushan a little unhappy.

Chu Lushan drew his sword and said, "You sent the weakest one. Do you look down on me? You should know that swords have no eyes. If someone gets killed or injured soon, don't blame me. You three can come together."

"No need, you have to beat him first." Ye Qi said.

So, on the shore of Tingchao Pavilion, Guo Jia stood there with a handkerchief in his hand, coughing from time to time.

It looked like a gust of wind could blow him into the lake. Chu Lushan no longer hesitated, picked up his long knife and chopped at Guo Jia.

Chu Lushan swung his sword several times, but Guo Jia dodged it easily.

From these few rounds of fighting, it can be seen that Chu Lushan is at most an eighth-grade strength, according to the classification in Joy of Life.

In the snowy world, it is just the opposite, the second rank is the strongest, and the first rank is the strongest.

The first grade is divided into Vajra Realm, Zhixuan Realm, Celestial Realm, and Land Fairyland.

Chu Lushan didn't believe it: "I can't kill you, you pretty boy, if you dare, don't hide!"

Chu Lushan attacked again, Guo Jia dodged sideways, then gently pushed Chu Lushan into the water.

Guo Jia clasped his fists towards Chu Lushan who was swimming vigorously in the water and said, "Thank you!"

"The fighting isn't over yet, keep fighting!" Chu Lushan shouted in the lake.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the two people's strength is not at the same level at all.

Xu Fengnian stopped him and said, "Come on, Chu Qiu'er, aren't you ashamed?"

After hearing Xu Fengnian's words, Chu Lushan immediately quieted down.

Xu Xiao, who was not far away, stroked his beard and felt that these three people were not simple. If he really allowed them to become guests of the palace, he must make them his chess pieces. If they could not be used by him and disrupted the chessboard, he must eliminate the trouble.

Xu Fengnian came to Ye Qi and said, "Let me apologize on behalf of Chu Lushan for what happened just now."

"Competition between people who practice martial arts is normal." Ye Qi said.

"Those three, follow me to the brothel."

"I'd be happy to go."

After Ye Qi and his two companions and Xu Fengnian left, Xu Xiao found Jian Jiuhuang to talk.

In order to thank Lao Huang for taking care of Xu Fengnian over the past three years, Xu Xiao also wanted to do something for Lao Huang.

"As long as you are willing, Beiliang can build momentum for you, allowing you to revive and reproduce the style of Jian Jiuhuang in the past!"

Old Huang touched his sword case and said that he had become indifferent to everything after traveling for three years. After he was defeated by Wang Xianzhi in Wudi City, there was no Jian Jiuhuang in the world anymore. There was only Old Huang, the groom beside the young master. He then threw his sword case into the lake.

Xu Xiao's face was full of disbelief. You know, the swords collected in this sword box are all famous swords in the world. But seeing the determination on Lao Huang's face, he couldn't say anything.

In the evening, everyone came to the brothel.

The madam was very enthusiastic when she saw Xu Fengnian coming, and said that she missed Xu Fengnian very much after not seeing him for three years.

Xu Fengnian gave him a few taels of silver as a reward and explained the purpose of his visit today.

"I heard that the new courtesan here is particularly good at sword dancing. Let her come over."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

After a while, the courtesan came to the private room holding a cat.

"what's your name?"

"Yu Youwei."

"That's a good name."

"How lucky I am to have the chance to meet the prince."

"Do you know who I am?"

"General Chu has mentioned this."

Chu Lushan whispered, "Prince, her sword dance is unique."
