I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 437 Granted Marriage! Duke of Yan!

Angel, the Emperor's messenger.

Holding the imperial edict in hand, it’s like the emperor himself.

At this moment, Han Shao's words seemed to be said in a joking tone, but everyone could hear the disrespectful meaning in them.

Many of the messengers from the gods who were accompanying them had angry expressions on their faces.

"Champion Marquis! You...you..."

Han Shao raised his eyebrows and looked at the messenger who was pointing at him.

"Why? Do you have any problem with me?"

Han Shao said this with a half-smile.

"Or... do you think that I am being presumptuous, disrespectful, and disloyal?"

it is good!very good!

You’ve learned how to answer questions quickly, right?

The words that were about to be uttered were stuck in his throat. Feeling the eagle-like and wolf-like gazes of the soldiers around him, as well as the vague murderous intent, the messenger's old face instantly turned the color of liver.

In response, Han Shao showed sarcasm in his eyes, and glanced at the messengers from the gods in front of him one by one, and finally set his gaze on Li Jin again.

"Angel thinks... am I still loyal to His Majesty?"

When Han Shao said this, he paused for a moment deliberately, which made him look very oppressive.

Li Jin's breathing slowed down. He looked at Han Shao for a moment without blinking, and suddenly laughed.

"Your Excellency is joking."

"Your Excellency will conquer Youzhou with one battle! You will help us expand the territory of Yong!"

"With such great achievements, if anyone still doubts your loyalty to the emperor, they are people with ulterior motives and should be killed!"

Li Jin's slightly sharp voice echoed in the Guanjun Marquis Mansion.

The red face of the envoy who had just pointed at Han Shao suddenly disappeared completely.

He looked at Li Jin in disbelief, he couldn't understand.

When an angel leaves the capital, shouldn't he protect the emperor's dignity at all costs?

Shouldn't we reprimand this arrogant and disrespectful person?
Shouldn't...

How come when it comes to him, he becomes a sinister person who deserves to be killed?

In response, Li Jin didn't even bother to give this idiot a look.

When you accuse someone of being disloyal, it is best that he really does not have the ability to be disloyal.

Otherwise, how is this different from seeking death?
Han Shao watched this scene with great interest and chuckled.

"I hope there's no misunderstanding, angel! I hope there's no misunderstanding, angel!"

"If my bravery and loyalty are really described by those scoundrels as rebellion, it would be too chilling for me."

As he spoke, Han Shao waved his hand casually.

"Come here, why don't you help the angel take out this villain who is trying to alienate the emperor and his ministers?"

"If one day this beast were to come before Your Majesty and stir up trouble, I wonder how many loyal and good people like me would be harmed!"

As soon as the words fell, the people from the six doors hidden in the dark suddenly appeared and then suddenly disappeared.

The messenger didn't even have a chance to react before he was taken away.

Li Jin's pupils shrank slightly and his expression turned ugly.

He was not angry about the idiot's fate, but was shocked by the terrifying strength of the people from the Six Gates.

At this moment, Han Shao seemed to have just reacted and slapped his forehead in annoyance.

"Is the angel going to be angry if I interfere in other people's affairs?"

Giegie——Pooh! Li Jin was not angry.

He just shook his head expressionlessly.

"Your Excellency is overly concerned."

"You have dealt with this disaster for our Majesty and me. I am grateful to you, so how can I resent you?"

After saying this, he seemed to be afraid that Han Shao would cause trouble again.

The imperial edict hidden deep in the soul floated out from the sky gate between the eyebrows and fell into the palm of the hand.

"We can continue our conversation later. How about you accept His Majesty's decree first?"

The imperial edict was filled with the rich and domineering royal dragon aura.

Among all the energies in the heavens, the dragon energy is the most unique.

Therefore, just by appearing without being unsealed, it squeezed out all the vital energy of heaven and earth in the entire inner court of the marquis' mansion.

Only the powerful and rich imperial dragon energy suppressed the scene.

In an instant, not to mention the inner court soldiers with limited cultivation around them, even Zhong Xinggu, who was in the upper third realm, felt a bit suppressed and restrained.

Only Han Shao looked as natural as ever.

But now that the imperial edict was in front of him, he restrained his casual and domineering attitude.

He bowed respectfully to the two volumes of imperial edicts in Li Jin's hands.

"Your Majesty has issued an edict. How dare I disobey it?"

Even though Li Jin was used to seeing this skill of changing faces in the Divine Capital, he was still stunned.

Until Han Shaodao.

"Angel, please step inside."

Li Jin finally reacted and took a step forward to catch up.

……

Entered the main hall of the marquis's mansion.

Li Jin, holding the imperial edict, walked straight to the center of the hall and stood still.

Instead, Han Shao, the owner of the Marquisate, was at the lower position.

With the host and the guest having switched places, Han Shao looked up at the eunuch Li Jin who was looking down upon him. At that moment he suddenly understood why so many people in history, even though they had endless wealth, were willing to give up everything to fight for that position.

"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Guanjun and General Dingbei Shao, respectfully hear the imperial edict!"

Han Shao bowed deeply and lowered his eyes to the ground below, as if in submission.

At this moment, Li Jin's eyes finally flashed with satisfaction, and he said.

"Not urgent."

Seeing Han Shao stand up, he looked dissatisfied.

Li Jin smiled.

"This imperial decree is not for you alone."

As he spoke, Li Jin's mind swept across the inner house of the Marquis' Mansion unscrupulously, and then he laughed.

"What a coincidence, they are all here."

"Let Gongsun and Jiang come together to listen to the decree."

When Gongsun Xinyi and Jiang Wan appeared in the main hall with a look of doubt on their faces.

Li Jin's eyes fell on the two women, each with their own unique looks, and he said with emotion.

"It is indeed a rare beauty in the world."

Especially the girl from the Jiang family, it was hard to imagine that such a beautiful girl could grow in this market.

The tenderness in that moment when the delicate head lowered was indeed enough to turn the hardest steel into something soft as silk.

"I really feel sorry for you. No wonder you are willing to give up everything for you and ask His Majesty for this imperial decree."

When Li Jin said this, Jiang Wan looked up at Li Jin with some confusion.

After a moment, as if he had suddenly guessed something, he looked at Han Shao with shock.

Han Shao was helpless and glared at Li Jin fiercely.

Old dog! It seems that I was too polite to you. You even dared to set a trap for me!

Li Jin did not comment on Han Shao's anger.

At this moment, he was rather surprised at the intelligence of this daughter of the Jiang family.

Li Jin lowered his eyes to look at Gongsun Xinyi on the other side, and saw that she did not have any strange expression because of what he just said, and he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Afterwards, he was too lazy to fiddle with these little thoughts that were not presentable, and simply took out the first imperial edict in his hand and read it out.

"The Emperor of Heaven and the Fate of the Heaven, decrees—"

There are three imperial edicts.

One said, the edict.

The intention is to make it known to the world and let everyone hear it.

One is called the edict.

Aims to confer additional official titles, etc.

One is called system.

It is usually used to declare the emperor's great grace and to show favor.

And this imperial decree granting marriage was undoubtedly written in [制].

Li Jin's voice was up and down, and he deliberately suppressed the sharpness in his voice to emphasize the emperor's authority.

"My champion marquis has a good conduct and is both civil and military. He is only a young man, but he has made great military achievements!"

"I believe that the origin of the universe must be based on the foundation of the universe..."

"Heaven is virtuous, and it brings people together——"

"Here are the daughters of Gongsun and Jiang, gentle and virtuous, respectful and intelligent, who can be a good match..." "...it is advisable to make the marriage harmonious, to comfort my heart! I decree this!"

He finished writing a long and fluent four- and six-character parallel prose.

Apart from the somewhat corny first sentence 'I am the Marquis of Champion', the rest of the content was sloppy.

Even the compromise method proposed by Han Shao, [Jianzun], was not mentioned.

Obviously he is too lazy to worry about these trivial matters between men and women.

Han Shao secretly clicked his tongue, but didn't take it to heart.

In his eyes, as long as he could solve this headache for himself and allow himself to marry two women at the same time with a legitimate reason, that would be enough.

As for other details, why bother about them?
"Marquis Guanjun, why don't you come forward to receive the order?"

Hearing Li Jin's greeting, Han Shao responded generously.

"Here!"

"Your Majesty, I, the Marquis of Guanjun and General Dingbei, respectfully thank you for your grace and generous gift!"

"In the future, I will serve Your Majesty till my death!"

An impassioned expression of loyalty.

In the past, Li Jin would have been frightened, but now his heart was calm and he ignored it.

For some people in this world, what they say is not important, what matters is how they act and what they do.

At the moment the imperial edict was handed over, Li Jin lowered his eyes and looked at him.

"When I came here, His Majesty gave me an oral instruction. I hope you will not disappoint me."

Han Shao, who had just understood the other person's thoughts, felt happy.

Naturally, he nodded continuously, looking south and bowing in the direction of the sacred capital Haojing.

"Your Majesty has shown me so much kindness! If I betray Your Majesty, how can I be a human being?"

These words were almost like a curse, and even though Li Jin no longer took Han Shao's words seriously, he still couldn't help but be shocked.

"really?"

Han Shao frowned and looked back.

Do you really want me to swear an oath?

Seeing this, Li Jin laughed awkwardly and finally let go of the other end of the imperial edict.

"Go ahead and make the two future marquis ladies happy."

For a woman, a marriage granted by imperial decree is an honor in itself.

Although the fact that these two women share one husband, regardless of age, is somewhat against the rules.

There will be some trouble in discussing the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children later on.

But for the three people who are destined to be entangled for life, this is already the most perfect result.

Jiang Wan, in particular, when she saw Han Shao walking towards her step by step with the imperial edict, she, who had always prided herself on being calm and sober, felt her mind go blank at this moment.

Han Shao said with a faint smile.

"Your Shao Ge'er has done what he promised Wan Niang."

Years ago, everything that happened when Han Shao returned home is still vivid in my mind.

After the variable Gongsun Xinyi appeared, Jiang Wan had actually long since given up hope for her childhood fantasies and expectations.

And he had already made plans to enter the marriage with a concubine.

But Han Shao disagreed and just asked her to wait a little longer.

But she never expected that this day would actually come.

And it’s like this…

Looking at the imperial edict in front of her that was filled with the most noble aura in the world, Jiang Wan's eyes were instantly filled with mist.

"Shao... Shao Ge'er... How could Wan Niang be worthy of Shao Ge'er's actions?"

She guessed it.

I guessed that Shao Ge'er had earned this seemingly frivolous imperial edict in exchange for his great achievements in pacifying the northern border and expanding the territory thousands of miles in this battle.

Realizing this, Jiang Wan felt both heartbroken and touched.

Amidst a surge of indescribable emotions, Jiang Wan could hardly control herself.

It was Gongsun Xinyi who took the imperial edict from Han Shao and said indifferently.

"From now on, we will truly be the closest of sisters."

Jiang Wan tried hard to calm herself, bit her thin lips, walked closer to Gongsun Xinyi, and called softly.

"Sister."

Gongsun Xinyi glanced at her in surprise.

Previously, in the old house of the Han family, Jiang Wan was forced to retreat under the circumstances and called her "sister".

Now that he had the imperial edict in his hand, he still addressed her as "sister", which made Gongsun Xinyi a little puzzled and surprised.

Gongsun Xinyi thought about it and said.

"You don't need to feel sorry for me. I own half of this imperial decree."

In fact, to be honest.

Han Shao obtained this imperial edict with his great achievements, and most of the merits should be used for himself.

After all, no matter how despicable that damn Ji Jiu was, he was still the son of the Emperor of Dayong.

If they want to cancel their engagement, they have to go through the Zongzheng Temple.

Whether considering the royal family's reputation or other reasons, this matter is a huge trouble.

So in Gongsun Xinyi's opinion, if we talk about indebtedness, she is the one who truly feels indebted.

I was really touched.

But all this was directed at Han Shao and had nothing to do with Jiang Wan.

She was used to being upright and honest, and she didn't bother to take advantage of Jiang Wan's ignorance of the truth to make her obey her.

But Jiang Wan, who heard her words, said.

"It has nothing to do with anything else."

"It's just that my elder sister is older than me, so Wanniang respects her as my elder sister."

She really didn't feel any apology towards Gongsun Xinyi.

This would still be the case even if Gongsun Xinyi's position as the main wife was divided in half.

She just felt that Shao Ge'er had a certain obsession with "home" and didn't want to make Shao Ge'er worry about it anymore.

In short, Wan Niang is still the same Wan Niang.

From the beginning to the end, Shao Ge'er was the only one in her eyes and even in her life.

The rest are just tools to make Shaoger happy.

And looking at Jiang Wan's eyes, which were still watery, they were full of sincerity.

Gongsun Xinyi finally stepped forward and took Jiang Wan's arm.

"You respect me, and I will love you."

"In the future, we two sisters will take good care of the house for Han Lang and don't let him worry."

Jiang Wan nodded slightly and agreed.

"Listen to my sister."

Good guy!
The elder sister is generous and tolerant, while the younger sister is humble and respectful.

They just got the tickets and haven't even entered the door yet, but they're already acting out this drama of sisterly love in front of a stranger like me. Is this appropriate?

Li Jin, whose body was not quite intact, felt a little uncomfortable when he saw this scene.

Seeing that the time was almost right, he simply drew out another imperial edict from his soul.

Compared with the previous imperial decree granting marriage, the imperial dragon energy contained in this second imperial decree was obviously several times stronger.

Seeing Han Shao using his magical powers to protect the two women behind him, he looked at him with an expression of shock and surprise.

Li Jin smiled with satisfaction.

The reason why he didn't take out the two holy wills at the same time, apart from the fact that there was a sequence of priority, was mainly because he did it on purpose.

The first imperial decree granting marriage was obtained by Han Shao through the "Letter to the King" he submitted to the Divine Capital before the war.

Wait until the reading is finished, and then take out the second imperial edict, which will further highlight your majesty's imperial grace!

"Marquis of Champion, please accept my order!"

After saying that, Li Jin waited until Han Shao bowed again, not giving him a chance to react, then he cleared his throat.

"The Emperor of Heaven and the Fate of Heaven, decrees—"

[Edict]!
Just this one word is enough to shake people's hearts.

And then, the contents of the imperial edict came out of Li Jin's mouth word by word.

Not only this Marquis' Mansion, not only the Champion City, but even the entire Dayong world was shaken by it.

"...In view of your meritorious service, I hereby grant you the title of Duke of Yan!"

"I hope you will show your strength and do not disappoint me! I hereby order you to do so!"

As soon as the words fell, humanity was shaken.

The imperial dragon energy surges and rolls!

Countless gazes instantly crossed thousands of miles and looked down!
