I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 454 Eat carrots! Angels go north!

Want to completely rule and digest an ethnic group.

It is necessary to open up an upward channel for the elite group of this ethnic group.

For this reason, it is worth giving up some interests.

A carrot in one hand and a stick in the other.

Always the best choice for domination.

Li Tang has always done a good job in this regard.

Even though there was the Anshi Rebellion, it destroyed the sacred glory of the prosperous Tang Dynasty that once shone through the ages.

But in the final analysis, it was a challenge and counterattack launched by the Shandong and Hebei gentry groups against the Guanlong aristocratic group, and had little to do with whether they were different ethnic groups or not.

Of course, this does not mean that Li Tang has no problems at all in this regard.

The stupidest thing it did was to lose track of priorities.

This is also the only thing Han Shao needs to be wary of in the future.

……

"Go ahead. I will ask the court for your merits and rewards. You will not be deprived of even a single cent."

"Here!"

"Yan Shu thanks you, my Lord!"

Looking at Yan Shu's back as he bowed respectfully and turned to leave, Han Shao smiled.

When he looked away, the smile disappeared.

His gaze turned to Tushan Feixuan, who looked quite indignant, and Han Shao looked indifferent.

"Now that you have entered the mansion, just stay here peacefully."

"Remember, don't use your little cleverness at home."

"I really don't like it."

Having said this, Han Shao took Yu Xuanji away.

Tushan Feixuan was left alone after hearing these words, standing there in a daze with an unpleasant look on her face.

……

The evening meal is still eaten by the family together.

Although Gongsun Xinyi and Jiang Wan had not yet married into the family, they still sat on the main seat with Han Shao on his left and right.

Although Chen Wenjun and Shangguan Zhi had many complaints in their hearts, they did not dare to say anything.

"Where is Tushan? Why don't I see her?"

Jiang Wan asked before the meal started.

Soon, a waitress responded carefully.

"Mrs. Tushan said she was feeling a little unwell, so...she won't come."

Oh, you still have a temper?
Han Shao didn't tolerate her either, so he just waved his hand.

"Never mind her, we use ours."

Gongsun Xinyi opened her mouth to speak, but when she saw Han Shao's expression, she said nothing.

It has to be said that, except for Han Shao, the mansion would be the same without anyone else.

Although Tushan Feixuan was not present at the table, the dinner was not boring at all.

In fact, because there was no argument from her, Chen Wenjun was able to display her natural talent for diplomacy.

With her deliberate flattery and flattery, even Gongsun Xinyi couldn't help but smile at her, making them feel closer.

After hearing Chen Wenjun talk about how he saw himself in armor standing with Han Shao at the gate of Dingbei last winter, Gongsun Xinyi felt a little emotional.

Destiny and fate, when you think about it carefully, are really mysterious.

People who should have had no connection with each other suddenly lived under the same roof.

From then on, their destinies were intertwined, and they shared honor and disgrace.

This girl from the Chen family in Zhuo County is like this, so are she and Han Shao not the same?

Thinking back to when we first met on the battlefield, on the line between life and death, who would have thought that I would end up together with an unknown soldier today?

Looking up at Han Shao, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and looked very dignified, Gongsun Xinyi's eyes gradually became blurred after drinking a few glasses of wine.

Jiang Wan, who was standing aside, glanced at the smiling girl from the Chen family below and said nothing.

But in the following time, he occasionally spoke a few words to Yu Xuanji, and then talked a few words to Shangguan Zhihan, who seemed indifferent but actually had a dull look on her face.

This can be considered a fruitful one.

Wait until dinner is over.

Yu Xuanji and the other two looked at Han Shao eagerly for a while, but seeing that Han Shao still didn't say which courtyard he would sleep in tonight, no one was willing to leave first.

The atmosphere was awkward and dull, and Han Shao felt a little overwhelmed.

After glancing at Gongsun Xinyi and Jiang Wan beside him, Han Shao could only use his spiritual power to speak to Chen Wenjun.

"I'll go to your place tomorrow."

Then he said to Yu Xuanji.

"You go back first. I'll stay with you tonight."

As for Shangguan Zhi, Han Shao said helplessly.

"Didn't I stay at your place last night?"

Shangguan Zhi always looked indifferent, but her spiritual thoughts showed aggrieved feeling.

"Yesterday...last night was only half the night..."

Well, in the second half of the night he went to keep Gongsun Xinyi and Jiang Wan company to celebrate the New Year. It was indeed only midnight.

Han Shao, feeling that he was in the wrong, had no choice but to apologize.

"Be good, I'll give it to you next time."

This is the trouble of having too many women, it is impossible to treat everyone equally.

Seeing the resentful looks in Chen Wenjun and Shangguan Zhi's eyes, Han Shao made a few more promises and comforted them before reluctantly letting them leave.

"Let's go. I'll see you off."

The guest courtyard is secluded and naturally some distance away from the main courtyard where dinner is served.

Han Shao did not use any magic power, but walked through the courtyard with Gongsun Xinyi and Jiang Wan.

During this time, Jiang Wan suddenly sighed.

"When I was a kid, I played at Shao Ge'er's house until late, and Shao Ge'er sent me home like this."

She thought that when she grew up and married Shao Ge'er, she wouldn't have to run around anymore.

But I never thought that as I grew up, Shao Ge'er's family also became bigger.

Pavilions, towers, winding alleys and corridors.

It doesn't seem to be much different from the alleys in the market town.

Still have to walk from one end to the other.

After Jiang Wan said this, Han Shao hadn't responded yet, but Gongsun Xinyi had already looked at Jiang Wan as if she was under pressure.

Compared with Jiang Wan, she ultimately lacked these bits and pieces of her past from childhood to adolescence.

I felt a little gloomy for a moment.

Han Shao, who was caught in the middle, felt the depressing atmosphere around him and couldn't help but be speechless.

It's like suppressing one problem but causing another, there's no peace at all.

However, he also understood that the principles of starting a family and establishing a career are common.

There is always a process of adaptation during the initial running-in period.

This is true for everyone in this family.

"The two fathers-in-law came today and discussed some things with me."

Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, the two girls no longer cared about emo and were immediately a little surprised.

"Did your father come?"

Gongsun Xinyi couldn't help but blush when she said this, feeling a little embarrassed.

"We...we haven't gotten married yet, why are you calling me father-in-law?"

Gongsun Xinyi was trying to cover up her mistake, but Jiang Wan's eyes lit up.

Seeing this, Han Shao smiled and took the left and right hands.

One of them had sweat on his palms, and the other one looked a little tense.

It was obvious that they had also realized what Gongsun Du and Li Wenjing had come to discuss with Han Shao this time.

Han Shao didn't tease them and just spoke directly.

"I have asked Zhong Xinggu to prepare the betrothal gifts, which will be sent to Zhenliao City soon."

"When the great general has achieved the state of unity with heaven and man, we will officially get married."

As he spoke, Han Shao also told him about Li Wenjing's restoration of his cultural heritage and his return to the eighth level of heavenly being.

Jiang Wan couldn't help but be delighted.

Gongsun Xinyi was pleasantly surprised, but also a little shocked.

"Father has been trapped in the Seventh Realm for so many years, how come he is suddenly going to merge with the Dao?"

It is difficult to follow the right path.

A cultivator who has achieved enlightenment through Dharma-nature can still have a chance of achieving enlightenment through his talent and hard work.

Gongsun Du had achieved enlightenment by becoming a golden body, but it would have been almost impossible for him to go any further without incredible opportunity and luck.

"Of course it's because the general has a good son-in-law..."

Jiang Wan always reacts one step faster and instantly figured out the root cause of the matter.

There is nothing to hide in this matter.

Han Shao nodded in acknowledgement.

"The general has treated me with great kindness, and has given Mulan, a treasure in the world, to me as my wife."

"In the end, Han made the profit."

Gongsun Xinyi, who had never expected that Han Shao would give her father a secret place where people could achieve enlightenment, was filled with emotions beyond words.

A pair of phoenix eyes that were usually cold and clear were now sparkling with the infinite love of a girl.

Han Shao enjoyed it very much, but he pretended to be nonchalant.

"You and I are going to get married and have children for me."

"Your father is my father. This secret realm is just a dead thing. Why would you be reluctant to give it up?"

Having said that, how can the foundation for achieving enlightenment be described with just two words?

"Han Lang..." With Gongsun Xinyi's delicate body in his arms, Han Shao looked at Jiang Wan, who was obviously jealous, and suddenly said.

"Wanniang, I plan to ask my uncle to marry us on behalf of my late father. What do you think?"

On the wedding day, your parents should be present.

Unfortunately, Han Shao's parents died early, leaving him alone.

Over the years, Jiang Hu not only raised Shao Ge'er to adulthood, but also sent him to study Confucianism and taught him martial arts.

Han Shao crossed the battlefield, turned around and pulled him out from the pile of dead bodies without hesitation.

He not only raised and taught me like a teacher and a father, but also saved my life on the battlefield.

Han Shao asked him to officiate the wedding on behalf of Han's father, which was from the bottom of his heart, without any false consideration of interests.

But this has a different meaning for Jiang Wan.

Because he was also her uncle, the only blood relative left in her life.

With emotions surging in her heart, she didn't care about gains and losses at this moment. After occupying the other half of Han Shao's chest, she also called out softly.

"Shao Ge'er——"

……

The next day.

Han Shao struggled to break free from the entanglement of the two naked bodies.

"Don't move, sleep a little longer..."

Bai Zhenzhen hummed in dissatisfaction.

Yu Xuanji, who was awakened, got up hurriedly and prepared to serve Han Shao.

"You worked too hard last night. You have nothing to do today. You can rest for a while."

As he spoke, he pecked Yu Xuanji's blushing face lightly, and Han Shao patted Bai Zhenzhen's pretty and round breasts lightly, signaling her not to continue pestering him.

"Well--"

Bai Zhenzhen suddenly woke up after feeling some pain and glared at Han Shao.

When she felt something strange and thought about what happened last night, her face flushed and she stammered.

“It’s so bad—”

Trick the ignorant rabbit into eating carrots, and in the end it really eats too much.

But what can she do?

As the master's little follower, she wants to be on equal footing with the master in the future. She...she wants to improve so much!
……

Han Shao broke free from the gentle embrace and sat in the study again. He looked at the documents that should have been delivered yesterday afternoon and reviewed them.

Suddenly I felt dazed.

"It is already the sixty-first year of the Taikang era..."

He was twenty years old at the time, and according to the rules, he should have been crowned this year and given a courtesy name by his elders.

But given his background and the fact that he had no elders to take charge of things for him, he couldn't afford to care about these things.

Fortunately, Han Shao, who came from that world, didn't care too much about these things.

It was just a thought and I didn't think about it anymore.

After dealing with the government documents at hand, he took another look at some messages and secret letters sent by the Six Gates.

What we should pay special attention to is nothing more than the changes in the situation in Shendu and Huang Tiandao.

The capital of the gods is fine. Emperor Taikang had seen him the day before yesterday, and Shangguan Ding has not made any major moves recently.

Han Shao was a little hesitant about whether to transfer Li He back to serve.

But after thinking it over, I decided to wait a little longer.

Besides the fact that there really was no one who could replace him for the time being, Han Shao was also prepared to listen to Linghu An's opinion.

Han Shao felt somewhat emotional when thinking of this eunuch with great literary qualities.

Until now, there are many people in this world who are connected with him, but this is the only one who can make him truly feel the charm of the "ancients".

Putting down the text messages and secret letters sent from the Divine Capital, Han Shao spoke into the void.

"Go to the Angel's Headquarters and send an invitation. I want to invite the angel to a luncheon."

"Here."

The six secret guards on duty today showed up, received the order and left.

Next, Han Shao checked Huang Tiandao's movements during this period.

Just as Tushan Feixuan said that day, in the battle of Xuzhou, those in the upper three realms fell like rain.

After that battle, those noble families who had originally acquiesced and secretly supported Huang Tiandao seemed to suddenly turn against him and actually curbed Huang Tiandao's momentum of outward expansion.

Han Shao tapped the table with his fingers and fell into deep thought.

But before he could figure out anything from these fragmentary messages, a report came from outside.

"Your Majesty, Li Zhonglang requests to see you."

Han Shao put away the secret letter on the table and said.

"Let them in."

The reason I mentioned them is because Li Jing did not come alone.

Looking at the young figure who walked into the study with Li Jing, Han Shao said indifferently.

"Xiao Yu?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu barely suppressed the excitement in his heart and knelt on one knee to greet him.

"I am Xiao Yu, your humble servant, honored to meet you, Your Majesty!"

Han Shao said directly without any nonsense.

"Li Zhonglang recommended you to be the commander of the personal guard camp. What do you think?"

Xiao Yu was silent for a few moments, then spoke with some hesitation.

"My humble position is low, and I am afraid that I am not qualified for such an important position and would disappoint Your Majesty."

Han Shao waved his hand and said.

"You don't need to worry about your cultivation."

"I only need you to be loyal to your duties."

After hearing this, Xiao Yu was obviously relieved, and then said in a loud voice.

"Xiao Yu is willing to die for you, my Lord!"

Han Shao nodded.

"In that case, you should stay with me."

He believed in Li Jing's vision.

The person who could make Li Jing so cautious was recommended to him.

He shouldn't be disappointed.

……

Time passed quickly and it was noon.

I heard a report from outside saying that the angel had arrived.

Han Shao put down what he was doing and said.

"understood."

After leaving the study, Han Shao walked towards the front court, and Xiao Yu, dressed in armor and holding a sword, followed him.

"You are the fifth in the clan?"

Han Shao said casually, and Xiao Yu quickly responded.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Han Shao, who kept walking, nodded slightly.

"Then I will call you Wulang from now on."

Xiao Yu's face flushed with excitement at Han Shao's closeness.

And Han Shao said the next sentence.

"Do you know why I agreed to Li Zhonglang's recommendation of you?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu hesitated and said he didn't know.

Han Shao paused slightly, turned around and looked at him.

"I like people who are nostalgic."

"Don't let me down."

When Han Shao said this, his eyes fell on Xiao Yu's chest.

There was a piece of broken pastry hidden there.

……

A banquet was held at noon and both the guests and the hosts enjoyed themselves very much.

Han Shao ignored Li Jin's complicated feelings towards him.

Today's lunch was just a cover for him.

In fact, the person he wanted to reward was Linghu An, who seemed to be just a supporting role at the banquet.

Linghu An, who had already guessed Han Shao's thoughts, heard Han Shao's telepathic voice: "Linghu Jun, thank you for your hard work."

Linghu Jun was so moved that he could hardly contain himself and almost revealed his flaws in front of Li Jin.

Han Shao took the opportunity to ask, "What do you think of Li He, Linghu Jun?"

With Li Jin's seventh level of cultivation, the divine power of heaven and earth is naturally indestructible.

Linghu An replied confidently.

"Li He has great talent, and even the gods have him. Your Majesty can rest assured."

Han Shao then gave up the idea of ​​recalling Li He to serve him.

After the banquet, Li Jin said goodbye.

And this group of angels will head north to the grassland tomorrow.

Han Shao saw him off personally.

Li Jin was deeply moved, so he decided to resolve his past grievances with Han Shao.

It can be considered an unexpected gain.
