I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 426: Princess! Bathing in the Royal Formation!
The white plague has come.

Although the snow scenery is magnificent and beautiful, the road is difficult to travel on.

When leaving, one's cultivation clears the way, so one is swift.

When I returned, I walked on the snow and couldn't go any faster.

Fortunately, the accompanying war horses are all considered alien species, with strong bloodlines, and have been implanted with the true fire of the sun, so they have their own special powers.

Therefore, this so-called slowness is only relative.

After just two days, Dragon City was already in sight.

As if sensing the inexplicable nervousness of Wu Wan He Ya beside him, Han Shao stepped forward and gently held her slightly cold slender hand.

"Just go home and relax."

Han Shao's tone was gentle, and his expression was like the warm spring sun.

Gradually, the somewhat stiff bodies of Karasuma and Miyabi were melted.

It is human nature to feel nervous when approaching home.

She left home and her father when she was young, and grew up in the holy mountain with the noble status of a princess and a goddess.

Now that I'm back, everything has become unfamiliar.

How can such a complex emotion be expressed in just a few words?

Feeling the strength and warmth transmitted from his palms, Wu Wan He Ya slowly leaned his body into Han Shao's arms, as if leaning against a heavy mountain.

'Is this the end that people often talk about?'

With such arms to lean on, there is no need to worry or be at a loss.

Someone will decide everything for you.

'very nice--'

Karasuma Kazuya muttered to himself.

The once noble and godlike Holy Mountain Goddess hummed softly with a nasal voice, her expression was affectionate and lazy, like a cat slave.

"Ah."

At this moment, Karasuma Heya, who was enjoying the pampering, felt that this was the happiest and most peaceful moment in his life.

With his eyes slightly closed, he dozed off and fell into a deep sleep without knowing it.

It was not until he vaguely heard a loud noise coming from outside that he opened his eyes in a daze.

“Greetings…”

"Welcome... Your Excellency!"

My scattered thoughts gathered, and the noise outside gradually became clearer.

Arrived home?
Karasuma and Ya were suddenly a little flustered.

"Why didn't you call me earlier, sir?"

This is what happens to pregnant women.

As the body becomes bulky, laziness and sleepiness follow.

Han Shao chuckled.

"You are sleeping soundly, why do I call you?"

As he spoke, the smile on his face faded and he said indifferently.

"As for them..."

"I did not punish them for disturbing my beloved concubine's sleep. This is already my mercy."

"Let them wait."

There is no reason in this world for conquerors to accommodate the conquered.

What's more, these people outside are the kind who fear power but not morality.

Only if your majesty is profound enough, will they be moved to tears for the kindness that flows from your fingers.

Karasuma and Miyabi did not see the hidden intention behind this.

She was simply melted by Han Shao's doting on her. Her pair of bright eyes were like ripples in the Peach Blossom Pond, and someone's face was reflected in the shimmering water.

"Mr. Lang——"

After that night, she had imagined the scene of meeting this man again countless times.

There are dreams and beauty, cold and cruel, and plain as water...

But even if she tried her best to imagine the best, she still couldn't and didn't dare to imagine the perfection of today.

Compared with this, the pain, confusion and suffering endured for this are not worth mentioning.

At this moment, Karasuma Heya felt a sweet feeling in his heart, which spread from the root of his tongue to his heart and was almost overflowing.

In response, Han Shao touched his nose.

Is it true that there is no woman in this world who can refuse a "domineering president"?

……

Ten miles away from Longcheng, the wind and snow were still blowing.

Wang Tinggui, who was crawling in front of the sedan chair, looked at the sedan chair that originally belonged to Shibi with a complicated expression.

Amidst the chaos of thoughts, I could only let out a sigh in my heart.

In this world, the strong always prey on the weak.

To the victor goes everything.

The royal carriage in front of me and the Dragon City behind me.

Wealth and women.

Take and take away.

As it should.

"Back to the city."

Wang Nian's tone was indifferent, but it was like the law of nature.

"My Lord, please return to the city. Let us lead the way for you."

A group of Wang Ting's nobles rushed to lead the horses, making the scene quite lively.

This made Temu Aguda, who was driving the chariot for his master, somewhat dissatisfied, and he felt a bit of contempt and ridicule in his heart.

At this moment, he suddenly understood Taiji's disgust and arrogance towards these former compatriots.

After all, a single glimpse can reveal the whole picture. If even these high and mighty people in power are so despicable and lowly, how can the entire Karasuma clan be noble?

The thought suddenly came to his mind, and Tiemu Aguda subconsciously stroked the hair growing beside his ears and smiled faintly.

Fortunately...he is very different from them now.

……

Noble people are leading the way ahead.

The slaves who had returned home rode their horses and looked up at the words "Dragon City" hanging on the towering city wall.

Eyes sparkling.

If they remembered correctly, they were so terrified when they followed the tribal elders to this city.

How it is like looking up at the city of God.

But now...

"Did you see that? This Dragon City is actually just like this."

A slave was muttering to himself with a mocking smile on his face.

In order to survive, they did not hesitate to wield swords against their own people.

Those idiots didn't forget to spit on themselves before they died.

But if they were faced with this situation now, what choice would they make?

"Welcome back to the city!"

With a shout, the people gathered at the city gate prostrated themselves in panic with humble expressions.

Let the heavy horse hooves trample past them.

The broken stones scratched his cheeks, but he didn't dare to raise his head.

In the past, their family members were either noble soldiers of the royal tent or relatives of the Wuhuan tribe, and they enjoyed a much more stable and prosperous life than ordinary people.

Therefore, they are even more afraid of the cold blade that can take lives.

The carriage moved forward all the way until it stopped at the palace.

The citizens of the city along the way prostrated themselves one after another, shouting and welcoming, showing the utmost respect.

When the pearl curtain of the carriage that looked like a palace was lifted, a group of figures who had been waiting outside the palace hurried forward to greet it.

"Welcome back to the city."

Han Shao stepped out of the carriage, and Wuhuan Heya, who came out with him, almost instinctively protected his waist and abdomen and looked around.

The scene of everyone kneeling to welcome her made her, who was used to the loneliness of the holy mountain, feel a little confused.

It wasn't until I saw the figure under the carriage with tears in his eyes but trying hard to restrain himself that I couldn't help but tremble slightly in my heart.

After a moment of hesitation, he finally spoke tentatively.

"Father?"

It has been so long that the face in my memory has become blurred.

The same is true of Qiming Khan Hu Ruoye, who lives in the royal palace.

The little person who used to laugh and play around him has now grown into a graceful and beautiful girl, who has not in the least disgraced the sacredness and dignity of the Holy Mountain Goddess.

If I hadn't already known her identity, and the similarity between her eyebrows.

Hu Ruo Xie also did not dare to recognize himself.

When he heard the word "father", Hu Ruoye, who had been mostly pretending, actually became really emotional.

After all, he didn't have a heart as cruel as Yizhixie.

Otherwise, he would not have risked angering Yizhixie and sent Wuhuan and Miyabi to the holy mountain.

After years of separation, the father-daughter love hidden deep in the heart eventually turned into a choked murmur from the old father.

"I'm glad you're back." Wu Wan and Ya Tilei got off the carriage with the help of Han Shao.

After seeing Han Shao's encouraging eyes, he flew to Hu Ruoye like a young swallow flying into his arms.

The beloved daughter who left home at a young age returns.

There is a good prince in her belly.

So give one as a gift.

Speaking of which, Hu Ruoye really made a lot of money.

With the corner of his mouth twitching, Hu Ruo Xie looked at Wu Wan and Ya's wanton actions, and suddenly he no longer cared about his excitement and looked quite terrified.

"Be careful! Be careful!"

Hu Ruo Xie is rational.

This good prince in her belly, apart from the inseparable blood ties, also concerns his safety, power and wealth for the rest of his life.

He couldn't afford the consequences if anything went wrong.

However, his subconscious change in expression was like a bucket of cold water poured down on Karasuma and Miyabi.

With only a few steps left, he slowly moved forward.

Hu Ruo Xie noticed the sudden change in Wuhuan and Ya's attitude, cursed himself for being stupid, and hurriedly moved forward.

"It's because my father is useless. He Ya has been wronged for so many years."

Wuhuan Heya, who was about to rush forward and throw himself into his father's arms to make up for the father's love that he had been missing for many years, suddenly lost interest when he saw his father's ashamed expression.

One arm responded to his father's support, but the other hand protected his waist and abdomen.

It turns out that some things that you once longed for will really become insignificant in a moment.

'Is it because I have something better now?'

Karasuma Kazuya sighed inwardly.

And seeing the eagerness in Wuhuan Heya's eyes suddenly fade away, and a frightening coldness flashed across their eyes, Hu Ruo Xie felt a pain in his heart, but more of it was panic.

Fortunately, there is the blood connection between father and daughter, so the coldness in Karasuma Heya's eyes was only a fleeting moment.

In a flash, tears welled up in his eyes.

"Father, you worry too much. The Holy Mountain is at peace, and Heya is not wronged."

As he was saying this, he heard the eunuch Abaoji, who was serving him closely, remind him in a low voice.

"Your Highness, the Khan is now the Great Khan of Wuhuan."

"Your Highness should call me Father Khan."

Hearing this, Karasuma and Miyabi were slightly stunned.

He then turned around and looked at Han Shao who was slowly walking towards him, and enlightenment gradually emerged in his eyes.

"Is this a gift from my husband?"

……

The princess' return is a rare happy event for the devastated Dragon City.

Qiming Khan Hu Ruoye was overjoyed and ordered the whole city to celebrate for three days.

Han Shao also did not refuse.

After all, this was one of his purposes.

After the war, the whole city suffered another catastrophe.

Use this incident to divert attention and calm people's hearts.

Just consider it as a good omen.

In addition, it can also give a good name and build momentum to the little thing in Karasuma Kazuya's belly.

It can be said that it kills several birds with one stone.

Won Ma.

In the next few days, as the clerks urgently transferred from Guanjun City arrived, Han Shao became busy again.

Registering and educating all citizens is something that every ruler must do.

After all, people are the most important resource.

If a person in a high position does not even know how much wealth he has under his control, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is incompetent.

In addition, another important thing is to collect wealth.

Maintaining an army and fighting wars have always been extremely wasteful affairs.

Over the past year, both Guanjun City and Zhenliao City have been engaged in aggressive warfare in a nearly exhausting-the-pond approach.

The bet is on the outcome of this war.

Now that he had made great sacrifices and finally won, as the winner, Han Shao naturally would not be falsely polite.

Not to mention the wealth accumulated in the palace over the years.

He had already moved once last year, and he also spent a year preparing for the upcoming war.

The final result was not satisfactory.

But Han Shao was not disappointed.

After all, he didn't have much hope for this, so naturally there was no hope.

The bulk of the proceeds from this harvest actually came from that act of killing someone with a borrowed knife.

Deliberately allowing tens of thousands of slave soldiers to wreak havoc throughout the city and purge the powerful in the city was just one of their plans.

The ultimate goal is still the hundred years of accumulation in the royal family’s mansion.

Rather than forcing them to hand it over, causing them to become resentful and then secretly causing trouble for me after I leave, it is better to kill them, occupy their homes, and take it myself!

Just these past two days, Han Shao executed some idiots who had gone too far and had ulterior motives in front of the whole city.

In the end, not only did he successfully expose the matter, but he also won a lot of people's hearts and minds.

[The people can be made to follow it but they cannot be made to understand it].

As expected, the art of governing and managing the people still depends on Confucianism.

Han Shao was in the royal palace, sighing as he looked at the statistical documents and strategic plans handed over by the clerks.

After briefly reviewing it, he waved his hand and passed it to Abaoji below.

“Send these back to the respective departments and let them handle them according to the regulations.”

Abaoji, who was serving in the royal palace, was calm and polite, bowing and acknowledging the emperor's request.

There was no embarrassment or resentment of serving a foreign race.

Han Shao looked at him with great interest for a while, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly called him.

"Abaoji."

Abaoji quickly turned around and prostrated himself.

"I'm here, slave."

Han Shao chuckled playfully.

"Speaking of which, you have made great contributions in the past year."

"This Marquis is clear about rewards and punishments. Tell me what reward you want."

"As long as it is not excessive, I will allow you to do anything."

A horse bone costs thousands of gold coins.

It has always been the only choice for new rulers to open up the situation.

What surprised Han Shao was that after hearing what he said, Abaoji hesitated for a moment and then shook his head.

"I thank you for your grace, my Lord."

"It's just that the reward that this humble servant wanted has already been obtained."

"Your Excellency, there is no need for further reward."

Han Shao frowned in confusion when he heard this.

Just as he was about to ask a question, Abaoji himself told him the whole story.

After hearing this absurd story of "If you destroy my life, I will destroy the foundation of your clan", Han Shao's face suddenly became strange.

Then, he sighed at the mystery of fate and secretly warned himself.

Those who want to achieve great things must of course look at the overall situation.

But you must also be careful and cautious in the details.

We must not underestimate the little people and end up capsizing in the gutter, causing today's seemingly absurd and ridiculous story to happen again.

The thought suddenly came to Han Shao, and he squinted his eyes again and looked down at this grassland wizard. After thinking for a while, he said with a cold face.

"It's a merit, it's a merit. How can you just say you don't want the reward?"

Thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness.

This is not just to show off, but a manifestation of authority.

So Han Shao then said.

"Well, let's wait until we have finished dealing with the current trivial matters."

"You go to Champion City, and I will let Zhong Xinggu take you there for a while."

"After I return, I will take on the position of deputy admiral of the Six Gates."

"If you have made any contribution, I will give you another reward."

After this, all officials and people in power in Dragon City must go to Champion City for "further study" for a period of time, otherwise they will not be employed.

Even the descendants of these people are the same.

Only after they have been bathed in the king's power can they use it with confidence and ease.

Hearing Han Shao's words, Abaoji's expression changed and he no longer refused.

"I bow down to thank you for your great kindness!"
