I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 435: Golden Scales Open! Reunion! Imperial Edict!

"Champion! Victory!"

One after another, the snow-white long swords were unsheathed, emitting a cold light.

The air is filled with murderous intent and evil spirit.

The people along the way were frightened by the terrifying aura and fell silent for a moment.

But after just a few moments, the silent silence erupted into a frenzy of shouts far louder than before.

"Champion! Victory!"

At this moment, soldiers and civilians outside Champion City shouted in unison.

The passionate hearts of the people gathered into an invisible destiny, which broke through the dark clouds covering the sun overhead and shattered all the haze covering the sky above this northern land.

The bright and glorious winter sun shines down, sparkling with golden light.

It fell on the black armor of the cavalry that was marching forward, like dark golden scales blooming.

Holy and majestic.

"A black dragon will appear in the north..."

There was a gaze in the void, looking down at the 'black dragon' that was dyed dark gold by the winter sun. For the first time, it began to doubt the seemingly absurd prophecy.

Han Shao, dressed in silver armor and acting as the 'dragon head', looked back.

I also feel a little helpless.

The so-called keeping a low profile is based on the reality of being weak.

But when you gradually grow to the size of an elephant, it becomes much more difficult to hide.

The only thing to be thankful for right now is that Huang Tian has swept across the eight southern states.

Comparing the two, my size doesn't seem to be a big deal.

At this moment, Han Shao's unscrupulous gaze obviously angered certain beings in the void.

A few cold snorts were faintly heard from the darkness, and the dark clouds that had just been dispersed by people's luck and destiny surged violently, and in a blink of an eye, they were about to cover the warm winter sun again.

In response, Han Shao just sneered.

"Don't worry about your eyes. I can keep them for you."

"roll!"

The word "get out" is silent in the world.

But above the void of the nine-day sky, bursts of winter thunder were aroused.

The rolling and vast momentum stirs up the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, just like the Waking of Insects.

In just a moment, the dark clouds gathering around were torn into pieces and wiped out.

In an instant, the sky suddenly brightened.

No wind, snow, or extreme cold.

The only remaining frost on the soldiers' armor looked even more sparkling and dazzling under the reflection of the bright golden sun.

This is momentum!

Today the army returns to the city in triumph, and people are excited.

"The right time" and "the right people" are not a problem.

Besides, this championship place is Han Shao's home court.

We have the right time, the right place, and the right people.

Under such a powerful situation, even the Ninth Realm Taiyi would have to retreat.

The countless champion people gathered around had no idea that Han Shao had just completed a brief fight with several top-level Nine-Realm Taiyi masters.

Their emotions reached their peak only after they saw Han Shao look up at the sky and the dark clouds in the sky dissipated.

"My Lord! My Lord! My Lord!"

With waves of shouts and screams, people's energy and vitality turned into great power and was added to one person's body.

Han Shao, dressed in silver armor and riding astride an exotic dragon horse, looked even more like a peerless general banished from the mortal world.

Seeing this scene, those beings hidden in the void could only hum, no matter how ashamed and angry they were in their hearts.

"The youngsters are so arrogant and domineering!"

"I want to see how long you can be so glorious!"

It's really laughable that he looks so fierce but is actually so weak.

Han Shao didn't even bother to look at them any more.

Today's triumphant return to the city is a godsend opportunity to shape the morale of the army with glory.

As long as these old immortals don't cause trouble for me, I can only let them be for the time being.

At worst, I can find a chance to settle the score with them in the future!

Han Shao scratched a page from the small account book in his mind and continued walking towards Champion City along the road built by countless people.

As the city gate got closer, Han Shao's expression became more and more rigid.

Well, it was definitely not because the two gazes hanging down from the top of the city were too scorching, making him feel like a thorn in his back, a fishbone stuck in his throat, and sitting on pins and needles.

“Yes, absolutely not—”

Han Shao quietly exhaled a breath of foul air.

Then he stepped forward to a group of people who were blocking his way and reined in the black horse under his seat.

"We welcome you, my Lord, back in triumph!"

A group of clerks, led by Secretary Zhou Xuan, shouted loudly.

He bowed deeply.

Wuzhui was tall, and Han Shao, who was sitting on it, was looking down on him.

"Have a heart."

As he spoke, he glanced at the group of clerks and saw a few new faces. A look of inquiry flashed across his eyes, but he did not pay too much attention.

"Everyone, get up."

All the clerks stood up as instructed.

Secretary Zhou Xuan then took out a pot of wine from the person behind him, filled the cup, and respectfully handed it to Han Shao.

"Your Excellency has worked so hard on the expedition!"

"Please drink this cup to warm your body and wash away the dust."

We prepared food and drink to welcome the triumphant return of the royal army.

This is the usual process.

Han Shao reached out and took the wine cup, then drank it all in one gulp.

Then he hung the empty cup upside down in the air, turned around and looked back at the burning eyes behind him that were looking at him.

He didn't say much, just spoke in a calm tone.

"The blood feud of Youzhou has been avenged."

"From now on, the northern border will be safe, and you can live and work in peace."

With the help of Han Shao's magic power, these words were clearly heard by every citizen.

In the silence, a faint sob was suddenly heard.

Looking at the tearful face, the person next to him scolded in a low voice with some dissatisfaction.

"Why are you crying on your big day?"

The sobbing man covered his face with his hands and choked with sobs.

"My grandfather was killed in a robbery, and my father and brother were determined to seek revenge, but they died in battle."

"I still remember my father and brother admonishing me before they left: if the king's army ever conquers the north, I should offer sacrifices at his grave."

On the day when the royal army conquers the north, do not forget to inform your father and brothers during the family sacrifice.

This wait lasted for more than ten years.

Just when I thought I would never be able to wait for it in this lifetime, it actually came true.

So he was so happy, well, he was crying with joy!

And there are more people like him than just one or two people, and there are more than just one champion in one city or one place.
There is no doubt that when the final outcome of this war spreads throughout Youzhou, it is predictable how excited the people of Youzhou will be.

As for the "live and work in peace and contentment" mentioned by Han Shao, it was just four simple words.

But over countless years, how many rulers can provide the people under their rule with this most basic need?
And to achieve this, how much effort, how much sacrifice, how many men's blood shed and how many men died on the battlefield have been required?
Gradually, people's knees weakened and they prostrated themselves on the frozen ground.

And soon it stretched out.

In the blink of an eye, all the people in front of him bowed their heads and thanked him.

"We, the common people, thank you, my Lord! Thank you to all the soldiers!"

Han Shao, who witnessed this scene with his own eyes, couldn't stand it.

He waved his hand and helped all these countless people up.

Han Shao didn't say anything more.

The influence of words on a group can only sustain and inspire it for a while.

If you want to truly win people's hearts and gather great momentum, what you say is secondary.

How you do it and what you do are what really matters.

So Han Shao then withdrew his gaze, threw the empty wine cup in Zhou Xuan's hand, and waved his hand.

"Enter the city."

Zhou Xuan bowed and responded, then continued.

"Please allow me to lead your horse for you."

Leading a horse?

Wu Zhui glared at him angrily, "Do I need you to lead my hand?"

……

In the blink of an eye, the city gate was in sight.

However, when he was about to cross the city gate, Han Shao thought about it and decided to leave a fake body on the black horse. His real body was on the top of the city wall in a moment.

Han Shao, who had a panoramic view of the entire city scene from afar, suddenly felt at peace when the moment came.

He looked up and glanced at the women in front of him, each with different thoughts and expressions on their faces.

Needless to say, Tushan Feixuan, as a bride who couldn't be any newer, was still thinking about the promise Han Shao made before he left.

Those enchanting eyes are filled with sorrow more than anything else.

Shangguan Zhi was timid and did not have any of the dignity and arrogance of his father, a powerful official of his time.

Chen Wenjun, who was standing aside, was twisting the handkerchief in her hand tightly, trying hard to suppress the emotions and thoughts in her heart.

Obviously, seeing Han Shao's triumphant return to the city with my own eyes today was a very different feeling from when I first saw Han Shao from afar.

However, Yu Xuanji dodged a little when she met Han Shao's eyes.

I don't know what she is feeling guilty about.

Han Shao's gaze quickly shifted to the four women. When he saw Jiang Hu on the other side giving him a look that wished him well, he finally turned his gaze to the two women in the middle of the city wall.

Well, it has a bit of the majesty of a general sitting in the hall.

Han Shao smiled, spread his arms and said.

"Madam, why don't you come and take off my armor?"

Hearing this, Gongsun Xinyi, who had a cold face, trembled in her heart.

Many details of the past on the grassland instantly appeared in my mind.

At that time, every time the army stopped for rest, this little thief would let me take off his armor for him.

Over time, I got used to it.

When Gongsun Xinyi saw that Shao Ge'er had called him, he threw the plan they had made earlier to the back of his mind and hurried forward to take off his armor.

Jiang Wan still had a gentle and pleasant smile on her face, but there was a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.

"What a noble man of this era, he is just a weakling!"

The silver armor Han Shao was wearing was no longer the ordinary armor he once wore.

It is very fast to unload.

Gongsun Xinyi carefully stroked the armor and found that it was not damaged. Seeing that Han Shao was also fine, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Wait until that familiar warm palm covers my naturally slightly cold hand.

How could this noble lady Gongsun still have a bit of coldness and arrogance?

At this time, Han Shao, who was relaxed, was looking at Jiang Wan who was standing there without moving, and smiled gently.

"Wan Niang, I'm back."

With these words "I'm back", all the expressions on Jiang Wan's face froze instantly.

I just felt my heart beating.

In a flash, her beautiful eyes, which were always filled with calculations, were filled with tears.

She bit her thin lips tightly with her pearly teeth, trying to control her emotions.

But his body flew involuntarily into someone's arms.

"Just come back."

Recalling that day last year, she waited at the city gate, feeling as if she were in hell, suffering physical and mental torture.

What does it matter if someone makes the mistakes that all men in the world would make?
"Shao Ge'er, Wan Niang misses you so much."

Wan Niang has been able to disguise everything since she was a child, except for how to hide the love she had for someone since she was a child.

Han Shao gently embraced the slender waist that was so thin that it could not be grasped with one hand, and sniffed the faint fragrance from her hair.

"It's Shao Ge'er's fault. If Wan Niang is angry, she can punish Shao Ge'er."

"Shaogeer pleads guilty and accepts the punishment."

Jiang Wan clenched her pink fists for a while.

But the embrace of the man in front of her was so warm, how could she muster the strength?

Reason? Angry?
How is it worth mentioning at this moment?
Han Shao, seeing that the outcome was already decided, should be able to get through this hurdle.

He simply pressed further.

Seeing that Gongsun Xinyi looked dissatisfied, he took her into his arms.

Well, now his pair of wings is complete.

Jiang Hu, who was secretly worried about Han Shao, watched the scene in amazement.

Is this solved?
Oh, Shao Ge'er's skill in dealing with women is almost as good as his proficiency on the battlefield!
Jiang Hu sighed in his heart.

Chen Wenjun and the other girls behind him were also stunned.

Just...that's it?
You have to know that on that day, when the two women stormed into the marquis's mansion, they were invincible.

Not to mention Shangguan Zhi and Yu Xuanji, two little noobs.

Even Tushan Feixuan and Chen Wenjun, a pair of true female masters and apprentices, were shocked for a moment.

Especially Tushan Feixuan.

She is an eighth-level celestial demon and holds a high position in the clan.

But facing these two women with weak cultivation, it was still a little difficult to cope with.

After only a few brief rounds of fighting, he was defeated.

I thought that these two tough guys would not be at a disadvantage even if facing Han Shao, a heartless guy.

Even make that bastard suffer a little.

But the final result is... just this?
Vulnerable! Totally defeated!
Weak! Really too weak!

The bastard even just waved and they lay down on their own.

This...what is this?
In an instant, Tushan Feixuan looked at Han Shao with a bit of awe in her eyes.

After all, defeating one's enemy is already so terrifying, so it is really hard to guess how terrifying the person who defeats his enemy is.

It must be extremely terrifying!
Realizing this, Tushan Feixuan suddenly regretted getting on board this bastard's pirate ship.

This world is so terrifying!
If she had a choice, she really wanted to hide back in Qingqiu and continue to be that carefree little fox, rather than letting someone destroy her heart of Taoism that she had cultivated for a hundred years.

But when she accidentally caught someone's gaze, she found that her so-called hundred-year-old heart of Taoism had actually been in chaos for a long time.

"go home."

These two short words made the hearts of the women present tremble.

Each of them has their own circumstances and background.

The feelings towards the word "home" are also different.

But when my eyes fell on the person who said this, the feeling at that moment suddenly became similar.

Fate and karma are intertwined, and it seems that just because of these two words, which were originally unrelated to each other, they are destined to be entangled for a lifetime.

What’s more important is that this simple word directly separates them from everything that existed originally.

'Home' is inside, and the world is outside.

To them, all other living beings are outsiders.

"Wei Wei."

"Welcome home victoriously!"

Upon hearing this, Han Shao finally laughed the most hearty laugh of his life.

Then his magic power rolled up, and he left everything behind and returned to the marquis' mansion.

……

After all, the day passed quickly.

It seemed that in the blink of an eye, it went from afternoon to evening.

During this period, Han Shao, who sensed Gongsun Xinyi and Jiang Wan's infatuation, even took them with him when handling affairs.

No one dared to say anything about this.

Seeing this, Li Jing and other elderly people were even a little happy about it.

After all, most of the time, people are nostalgic.

Needless to say, the lady Gongsun Xinyi had accompanied them through the desperate conditions on the grassland.

When Jiang Wan was in Zhenliao City, she sent them food almost every day.

Over the past year, he has taken good care of them at their home in Zhenliao City.

This goes on day after day, even a piece of stone will be melted.

"You can indulge yourself tonight. Except for the soldiers on duty, as long as there is no trouble, there will be plenty of wine and meat."

We have just returned to the city today, but it is impossible for all the soldiers to go home.

So they still have to spend this New Year's Eve in the camp.

The wine and meat can be considered as a slight compensation.

As for the rewards for this battle, that will have to wait until after the New Year.

"Okay, let's leave it at that for today."

After Han Shao finished arranging all this, he waved his hand and told the bastards who were making faces to get out.

Just when he was about to go back to the inner house to spend the New Year's Eve with the girls, he paused, then frowned and looked towards the outside of the city.

Seeing this, Jiang Wan on the side said.

"Shao Ge'er, what's wrong?"

Han Shao's brows gradually relaxed and he laughed.

"Good things come at the wrong time."

The imperial edict has arrived.
