I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 459: One person's success! A golden nest, a silver nest, and a doghouse!
The battle must go on.

Even if you don't have the ambition to reach the top, you have to keep fighting.

The state of Dayong today is like a chaotic mess, and someone has to end it all eventually.

And this person, Han Shao is the best choice!
……

Han Shao's sudden words rang out in the carriage.

A group of women, including Gongsun Xinyi and Jiang Wan, all looked at Han Shao in amazement.

At this moment, they were in a trance and only felt that Han Shao, who had said those words, was exuding some kind of strong brilliance and Taoist aura.

There is something inexplicably sacred in the fiery heat.

At first they thought it was just an illusion caused by the woman's admiration for her lover.

But soon they realized something was wrong.

Through the obstruction of the chariot, he raised his eyes to the sky.

The originally peaceful void of nine days seemed to be in turmoil because of the seemingly calm words just spoken by her husband.

Although no golden lotus emerged, there was a surge of purple energy.

Then, brilliant rays of light pierced through the clouds and fell down, showing boundless auspiciousness.

At the same time, the aura of Han Shao, who was sitting in the carriage, suddenly rose sharply, as if there was no end.

Yu Xuanji and Tushan Feixuan, who had the highest cultivation among the women, saw it most clearly and deeply.

Among them, Yu Xuanji murmured to herself with some worry after reflecting the ancient marks in her soul.

"A great aspiration..."

In that glorious era when gods roamed the world, there were gods who asked the heavens for advice, hoping to reach a higher realm.

You can "borrow" from the way of heaven, and the process of borrowing is to make great aspirations.

Just borrow and return.

In ordinary borrowing, if one cannot pay back the principal and interest, the family will be ruined in the end.

What's more, what about borrowing from heaven?

If he fails to fulfill the great ambition that he promised to the Heavenly Dao, at best he will fall into dust, and there will be no possibility for him to seek the Dao or the righteous path ever again.

In serious cases, all the cultivation of eternity will be lost in one day, and finally the Tao will be transformed into the world.

And Han Shao's words just now, "Since I have come to this world, I will open the balance of the ages", in Yu Xuanji's view, are undoubtedly the method of proving the truth with his great aspiration.

Even if you succeed in borrowing powerful cultivation from heaven and earth, you will still have to pay it back in the end.

Yu Xuanji sighed inwardly, filled with worry.

In stark contrast to her, Tushan Feixuan on the other side had beautiful eyes shining and a burning gaze.

"Enlighten the heart of Tao!"

As a practitioner of later generations, she did not know about the grand method of attaining enlightenment that had long been lost in the long river of history. She only felt that Han Shao had realized the truth overnight, which caused heaven and earth to celebrate.

Feeling the increasingly vast and majestic aura coming from Han Shao, Tushan Feixuan looked excited.

Her union with Han Shao stems from a cold cooperation.

But for some reason, she didn't have much awareness of being a collaborator at this moment.

Some of them just feel proud to see their loved ones happy for them.

Perhaps regardless of whether they are human or demon, or what their cultivation level is, most women in this world live up to that seemingly vulgar but actually true saying.

There is a shortcut to the deepest part of a woman's heart...

……

I don’t know how much time has passed.

The strange phenomenon in the sky above the nine heavens finally gradually dissipated.

Correspondingly, Han Shao's aura also reached a certain peak and then returned to calm.

Han Shao slowly opened his eyes. He did not appear to be domineering and powerful because of his magnificent words just now. Instead, he looked extremely peaceful.

It's just that pair of deep eyes, anyone who looks at them will be unable to help but be deeply attracted by them and unable to extricate themselves.

Until Han Shao coughed lightly, signaling them to wake up.

They were in a trance before they realized what was happening and their faces turned red, and they turned their gaze away from Han Shao.

Suddenly Chen Wenjun exclaimed.

"I...my cultivation seems to have made a breakthrough!"

After saying this, the other people subconsciously looked at Chen Wenjun, and then their eyes fixed.

The sixth realm!
However, this surprise was interrupted the next moment by the changes that occurred within himself.

and many more!

It's not just her!

"And... and me..."

Unlike her cold and aloof appearance, Shangguan Zhi's weak opening instantly exposed her cowardly nature.

Fortunately, no one paid attention to her at this time, including Gongsun Xinyi and Jiang Wan, who were also shocked by the changes in their own cultivation.

Gongsun Xinyi had a vast body of magical power, and after condensing and gathering it, he became more and more heroic, like a peerless spear standing proudly in the world.

A phoenix pattern appeared between his eyebrows, and then disappeared quietly.

It not only makes her look more charming, but also more noble.

Jiang Wan, who was standing on Han Shao's left and right, had a pair of originally gentle eyes that were now flashing with fiery red glow.

In a trance, she seemed to see the bottomless deep sea again.

A mutilated and ferocious cold dragon corpse.

And a sun chariot that seems to have been extinguished for a long time...

Faintly, the once unreal call in my ears seemed to gradually become clearer.

"Girl...Girl...Soul, come back——"

The sound is simple and vicissitudes, grand yet ethereal.

Jiang Wan, who heard a hint of sadness in the voice, inexplicably shed two lines of tears.

"father……"

Jiang Wan murmured a word almost instinctively, but the next word was never uttered.

Feeling the slight force of the big hand tightly grasping her hand, Jiang Wan suddenly woke up and heard Han Shao's warm and caring voice.

"what happened?"

The strange phenomenon on Jiang Wan's body disappeared, her tears also disappeared, and she slowly shook her head.

"I'm fine, Shao Ge'er, don't worry."

Then he exclaimed in dismay.

"My cultivation——"

There is no doubt that Jiang Wan's cultivation is the lowest among all the women.

In addition to the fact that she was the youngest and came from a humble background, unlike them who had been supported by a huge family since childhood, it was also because Han Shao deliberately suppressed her and did not give her direct access to cheats.

Even though Li Wenjing had made up for some of her missing foundation over the past year, it was not something that could be achieved overnight.

But in the blink of an eye, everything changed.

The uncontrollable terrifying aura emanating from Jiang Wan at this moment made the other women look incredulous.

"Seventh... Seventh Realm..."

Tushan Feixuan was dumbfounded.

In front of the Eight Realms Heavenly Demon, this aura was clearly visible.

She really couldn't understand how a lowly cultivator who was only at the Tianmen realm could cross several chasms and break through the realms in an instant.

What’s more important is that she didn’t even notice the vision of the Heaven’s Gate opening. It all happened so quietly.

"How...how could this happen——"

Not only Tushan Feixuan looked shocked, but all the women present were also shocked.

As for the person involved, Jiang Wan was at a loss, and looked a bit panicked.

In this world, everything has a cause and effect.

The huge price behind this sudden and incomprehensible gift is almost predictable.

Han Shao also frowned and looked at Jiang Wan, and for a moment he was a little confused.

"Fate and destiny are intertwined. Is this what heaven has destined?"

There is no doubt that this little childhood sweetheart that he picked up for free also has a huge secret behind it.

But Jiang Wan didn't say anything, and Han Shao didn't know whether she had noticed anything.

"Shao Ge'er, I...I..."

There was a flicker of anxiety and panic in Jiang Wan's eyes, as if she was afraid of seeing a distant and unfamiliar look from Han Shao.

Fortunately, Han Shao is still gentle and doting.

"Wanniang will always be Shao Ge'er's Wanniang."

These words, combined with the strength of their clasped palms, made Jiang Wan feel a little relieved.

She wanted to tell Han Shao about the scene she had seen in a trance over the past year, but she always felt it was too absurd and didn't know how to start. Just as she had just instinctively responded to the call, the short and vague sound of the word was clearly followed by the word "Emperor"!

Jiang Wan was in a state of confusion, with bewilderment in her eyes.

As for her reaching the seventh realm in one day, the others were naturally curious, but since Han Shao didn't ask further, they didn't dare to ask.

After a long silence, Chen Wenjun finally mustered up the courage and spoke cautiously with a bit of excitement and confusion.

"What...what's going on?"

"Why did our cultivation levels increase so much?"

After saying this, Bai Zhenzhen, who had been nestling in Yu Xuanji's arms, curled her lips.

"What else can it be? If one person succeeds, everyone else will benefit!"

The implication is that they are all the "chickens and dogs" who followed him to heaven.

This metaphor is extremely harsh.

But they didn't care and reacted instantly.

"It's because of my husband——"

Seeing the burning gazes falling on him, Han Shao did not deny it.

In fact, Han Shao had not expected that a casual remark he made on impulse would cause such a big commotion.

The celestial phenomena changed strangely and the vital energy was shaken.

As his cultivation level continued to rise, even those who were connected to his qi and entangled with his cause and effect also received some gifts from heaven and earth.

Hearing Han Shao's words, Gongsun Xinyi subconsciously glanced at Han Shao and Jiang Wan's still tightly clasped hands.

Suddenly, he realized the terrifying leap in Jiang Wan's cultivation level.

Gongsun Xinyi smiled bitterly with a sense of helplessness in her heart, but she did not complain about it.

After all, she dug this hole herself.

She was not good at speaking, so she signaled with her eyes to Jiang Wan to comfort Han Shao.

However, he did not expect that by giving in, he would actually give up a chance to achieve enlightenment.

In this way, Jiang Wan at least surpassed the latter in terms of cultivation.

"Is this what they call an opportunity..."

Hearing Gongsun Xinyi's sigh, Han Shao took her hand.

"Meeting you in this life is my destiny."

Seeing Han Shao pretending to be stupid and deliberately misinterpreting her words, Gongsun Xinyi rolled her eyes at him.

But he clenched his hands tightly.

After all, if she really cared about everything, how could she allow this destined evil star to get more and more points again and again?

Without it.

After being pulled down from the lofty altar by someone, Madam Gongsun was just an ordinary woman in the world.

……

Actually, it was not just Gongsun Xinyi and other women in the carriage who received this gift from heaven and earth.

The same was true for the five hundred cavalrymen guarding the carriage.

But compared with them, the connection between those five hundred cavalrymen and Han Shao was much shallower after all.

Therefore, the gift from heaven and earth that we receive is ultimately limited.

But this is enough for them.

One by one, not only did their cultivation levels suddenly skyrocket, but some of those with extraordinary talents even caught a glimpse of rules from the brief moment of inspiration from heaven and earth, and eventually evolved one or two minor magical powers.

After completely digesting it, a series of burning and awed gazes turned towards the chariot.

They heard it!
"Since I have come to this world, I will bring eternal peace!"

This is your Majesty’s great ambition!

But from now on, it will be the great ambition of all of them!

I only wish——

We will sacrifice our entire lives to pave this broad road leading to eternal peace!
For this, they are willing to sacrifice their lives, bravely move forward, and never turn back!
They clasped their fists and bowed towards the carriage, and the five hundred iron cavalrymen charged forward with their hooves flying.

……

When Han Shao's carriage arrived at Zhenliao City, it was already the 22nd day of the first lunar month.

Han Shao was somewhat surprised that Gongsun Du had not yet used that secret realm to ascend to the celestial being.

Gongsun Du was also a little puzzled as to why it took him so long to travel so lightly.

"No hurry, go home, you can't have no one waiting at home."

In response to Gongsun Du's reply, Li Wenjing curled her lips and muttered.

"Isn't this old man a human?"

Han Shao felt a warm current surge in his heart.

He finally understood how his father-in-law, this rough and crude warrior, had tricked his mother-in-law, who came from the famous Zhao family in Jiangnan, into coming to this bitter and cold place in Youzhou.

When this old man gets cheesy, not to mention women, even he, a grown man, sometimes can't handle it.

As for Han Shao's explanation of why he was delayed on the road for so long, Gongsun Du was silent for a long time before he sighed.

"You're doing better than your father."

"It is not only a blessing for the soldiers, but also a blessing for me as a father that the Zhen Liao Army's business can be handed over to you."

Han Shao responded modestly.

"Father-in-law, you are too serious."

After saying this, he did not continue to stay in the carriage, but followed Gongsun Du, Li Wenjing, and a group of eagerly awaited Zhenliao civil and military officials, and rode into Zhenliao City.

Although Han Shao deliberately kept a low profile when he returned to Zhenliao City and asked Gongsun Du and Li Wenjing not to disturb the common people, the movement of the 500 personal guards was still quite loud.

As the news spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, it quickly spread throughout the market.

As soon as Han Shao stepped into the city gate, he saw countless people flocking to the streets, all of them with excited expressions and fiery eyes.

Han Shao, who had enjoyed the feeling of being an idol, felt helpless, but he could only slow down his pace.

"Champion Marquis! Champion Marquis!"

"What Champion Marquis? You have now been granted the title of Duke of Yan! We should call you Your Majesty!"

The swarming crowd of people was in chaos for a while, and finally gathered into one voice.

"Congratulations to you, Lord!"

Han Shao clasped his fists towards those around him as a token of his acceptance of their congratulations.

The fact that he did not have any royal manners at all made the people slightly stunned.

"Although I have achieved some success now, now that I have returned to my hometown, I am one of your fellow villagers!"

"Just treat me as an ordinary Zhenliao boy."

The people are not stupid, so they naturally know that such things are just for listening and no one will take them seriously.

But despite this, Han Shao's words still made their hearts surge with warmth, and the way they looked at Han Shao was less awe-inspiring and more intimate.

Amidst all the eager gazes and noise, those white soul flags hidden behind the crowd were so dazzling yet seemed to be forgotten by everyone.

Perhaps over the countless years, Zhenliao and even the entire Youzhou have become accustomed to the grief of seeing their loved ones go to the battlefield and die in battle.

After all, the dead are dead, and the living still have to live.

They are not afraid of death, they are just afraid of dying worthlessly and meaninglessly.

Although their family members suffered heavy casualties in this battle, they won in the end!
The First War completely eliminated the century-old border troubles, and from then on their descendants could enjoy peace here.

Such a brilliant victory was worth it in their opinion even if a generation of people fought and died.

This is the bravery that is ingrained in the bones of the men in the north!

So after Han Shao reached the end of the long street, he suddenly dismounted from his horse in front of everyone's surprised gazes, and then bowed deeply to the countless people on the long street.

"Shao, thank you all!"

The people were ignorant and didn't know what Han Shao was thanking them for, but they remembered the bow deeply.

Then, after a moment of confusion, he bowed in return.

Han Shao stood up and turned to leave.

……

That night, Han Shao did not return to the mansion where he had not lived for several days.

Instead, he returned to that simple courtyard.

No idea why, now that he was rich and lived in a luxurious house, Han Shao had developed a special fondness for his own doghouse.

But when the women looked at the narrow courtyard surrounded by dangerous walls on all four sides, they could not help but look at each other in confusion.

"No...I don't despise the poor and love the rich..."

"How can we live here?"

Could it be that... we have to squeeze into one room?
