I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 460: Bai Laoliu! Anecdotes from the old house!

The courtyard has no more than three rooms, including the side rooms.

Even though the group did not mobilize a large force, with each person only bringing two maids to serve them, there were more than ten people in total.

Once you enter the yard, there is almost no place to stand.

No wonder they complained quietly.

Han Shao did not show any dissatisfaction with this, but just said it lightly.

"There is another mansion in the city. If anyone doesn't want to live here, they can move there."

As soon as Han Shao said this, the girls shut up instantly.

After looking at each other, Chen Wenjun was the first to cover his mouth and cough lightly, then changed the topic.

"Ahem...I suddenly feel that this place is not bad."

"My dear sisters, you are all delicate and precious. I guess you can't stand the hardship of the old house. Why don't you go live in the new house?"

"It's good that I am here to serve you, my lord."

Do you want to eat alone?

She had a nice thought!
Faced with Chen Wenjun's obvious little thoughts, the expressions of the remaining women changed.

Then he quickly took the opportunity to express his position.

"Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog. Wherever the husband lives, I will live there."

What is a little surprising is that these words came from the taciturn Shangguan Zhi.

Han Shao looked at her deeply and saw that Shangguan Zhi's eyes were full of sincerity, but there was no falsehood.

Then he looked at the other people and said with a smile.

"You said this yourself. I didn't force you to do it."

Don't force it, not at all.

In short, even if it means suffering a little, you must not let others take advantage of you.

What's more, they have reacted now.

No matter how shabby or small this place is, it is still the old house of the Han family and has its own unique significance.

For them, allowing them to live here as concubines was a kind of recognition from Han Shao.

Sure enough, after Han Shao nodded with satisfaction, he said to them.

"follow me."

When the girls followed Han Shao into the main room, they saw Han Shao respectfully lighting three incense sticks in front of the niche in the corner.

After some greetings, he said to them.

"Since you have entered the Han family, you should come and pay your respects."

Looking at the few simple tablets placed in the alcove, they suddenly became nervous.

"Xuan Ji comes first."

After saying that, Han Shao pulled the dazed Bai Zhenzhen out of Yu Xuanji's arms.

Seeing this, Yu Xuanji wanted to say something but hesitated, but in the end she didn't dare to say anything.

He tensed his body and bowed respectfully in front of the niche where Han's father and mother were enshrined.

Han Shao then named Chen Wenjun, and then Shangguan Zhi.

But just when Tushan Feixuan was eager to try, Han Shao patted Bai Zhenzhen's head in his arms.

"now you."

Bai Zhenzhen is not stupid.

She thought Han Shao had forgotten about her again, and her pair of ruby-red eyes were about to cry. Suddenly, when she heard Han Shao's words, her long ears pricked up instantly.

"I...I can, too?"

Han Shao laughed.

"Aren't you my Han family's wife?"

Bai Zhenzhen nodded hurriedly, and then, as if she was afraid that Han Shao would regret it, she jumped out of Han Shao's arms and turned into a cute girl with lively eyes.

He pushed away Tushan Feixuan who was standing there in a daze.

"Get out of the way! I was here first!"

She had just counted them. Apart from the two main masters, her master was the third.

She is the sixth child.

Seeing Bai Laoliu walking past him so arrogantly, he kowtowed heavily in front of the alcove and then grinned foolishly.

Tushan Feixuan, who had completely secured her status as the youngest, was so furious that her lungs were about to explode.

no! Why!

In terms of age and cultivation level, she should be ahead of everyone!

How come even a tiny rabbit demon is ahead of me now?

"This is not fair!"

Just when Tushan Feixuan was unwilling to complain, she suddenly felt a terrifying aura rising from the seemingly harmless 'rabbit monster'.

Nine...Nine Realms Taiyi! ?

Bai Laoliu raised his head, and his big eyes, which were usually lively and lovely, looked at Tushan Feixuan with a sinister smile.

"What? Do you have any objections?"

terrible!
Is this the legendary pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger?

Shocked by this terrifying and vast aura, Tushan Feixuan, whose throat was inexplicably tight, spoke in a hesitant voice.

"No...no objection."

Bai Laoliu smiled complacently.

'Hey, I can't scare you to death!'

In the wilderness of the southwest, there appeared a strange beast, which looked like a rabbit, had a human face and could speak, and often deceived people.

She had seen the glorious and brilliant divine dynasty that shone through the ages, and often stayed beside the Moon Lord.

A very high level of cultivation might not be faked, but the mere ninth realm can be easily achieved.

Didn’t you see that even Han Shao was almost scared by her before?
And seeing that the faces of the women except Yu Xuanji turned pale due to the terrifying aura emanating from her body.

Han Shao scolded him with a somewhat amused look.

"Don't mess around."

Bai Zhenzhen giggled, then put away her magical powers, skipped over to Han Shao, and slapped him hard on the face.

"Husband, you are so kind."

She doesn't have high demands and is easy to please.

At least for now, as long as Han Shao could remember her, she would be satisfied.

Han Shao looked at Bai Zhenzhen's innocent face and couldn't help but smile as he tidied up her slightly messy hair.

They are all old monsters who have lived for who knows how many years, but their minds and demeanor are still as lively and cute as those of young girls. It is really rare.

"As a woman, you should be more dignified."

Perhaps it was because Han Shao's voice was unusually gentle at the moment, or perhaps it was because her hair being touched by Han Shao made her feel a little itchy.

Bai Zhenzhen finally put away some of her unruly temper, her cheeks flushed, she lowered her head and hummed softly.

"Well, I...I will listen to my husband."

And in Tushan Feixuan's eyes, she looked humble and submissive in front of Han Shao, and Han Shao seemed unfathomable as well.

After all, how terrifying it must be to be able to subdue a terrifying monster with the cultivation level of 'Nine Realms Taiyi'!
Thinking about how she had wanted to rely on her cultivation to control Han Shao, Tushan Feixuan, whose mind was already a little confused, couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Never mind, I'll just be the youngest."

The last one kowtowed respectfully in front of the tablet in the niche as a woman of the Han family.

Tushan Feixuan felt mixed emotions.

Now she only hoped that Han Shao could take in another concubine as soon as possible.

After all, the title of the youngest is really embarrassing to mention.

Considering her former status as a prodigy of the Tushan clan in Qingqiu, it was even more difficult for her to accept.

Han Shao naturally had no idea how Tushan Feixuan was planning to take off the title of the youngest as soon as possible. After leading them to simply worship the tablet in the niche, he began to make arrangements.

"Wulang, you pick a few people to live next door, and the others will temporarily settle in the mansion over there."

The yard next door was previously bought by Jiang Wan, and was originally occupied by Lu Yan and his people.

There is nothing inappropriate about replacing the old with the new.

However, a man from an aristocratic family like Xiao Yu had probably never lived in such a simple residence.

So Han Shao said with a smile.

"Goro will have to suffer these two days."

Xiao Yu actually didn't feel it was bitter, instead he found it somewhat novel.

The only thing that made him hesitate at this moment was... should the waitresses be sent away as well?

"Your Majesty, you won't leave anyone to serve you?"

Han Shao nodded in affirmation.

"Need not."

Xiao Yu asked in embarrassment.

"But the ladies..."

Han Shao waved his hand and said indifferently.

"They themselves said that if you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog. If I were an ordinary man, and there were no servants and women to serve me at home, wouldn't these women be able to live?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu smiled bitterly in his heart.

This... can this be the same?

Except for Yu, which of the other ladies was not born into a wealthy and noble family?
If we put aside our cultivation, without someone to take care of us, I'm afraid we really won't be able to survive...

However, he only dared to say these words in his heart. After Han Shao said this, he could only laugh dryly and take the man away.

Seeing the maids around them quietly retreat under Han Shao's arrangement, the women except Yu Xuanji were all dumbfounded.

"Lang... Lang Jun, are you really...really letting them go?"

Facing the smile that Chen Wenjun forced with the corners of his mouth, Han Shao laughed heartily.

"if not?"

"There are only three rooms in this courtyard. Where will they live if they stay?"

Shangguan Zhi didn't bother to maintain her indifference and said hesitantly.

"But in that case, what are we going to eat tonight?" Although his cultivation had reached a certain level, it wasn't a big deal to go hungry for a meal or two.

But once a habit that has long been established is broken, it will eventually feel uncomfortable.

When Han Shao heard this, he looked surprised.

"Aren't you guys here?"

This time even Yu Xuanji was dumbfounded.

After all, to be honest, when she was in Beigu Sect, although she was just an ordinary disciple, she had servants to prepare meals for her.

Disciples like them only need to think about practicing and never have to worry about these things.

The girls looked at each other for a while, and finally their faces turned red and they said shyly.

"I...I don't know how to do this."

Han Shao waved his hand.

"I don't care about that. There are so many women in the family. I can't let you men starve, right?"

Having said that, he ignored their tears and stood up.

"I will go to the study to read for a while, and you go to prepare dinner for tonight..."

"Oh, do more. My personal guards are all my comrades-in-arms, so don't neglect them."

"Otherwise, who would be willing to work for me in the future?"

Seeing Han Shao about to run away, Chen Wenjun hurriedly stopped him.

"But...but there is no rice at home!"

Han Shao paused and thought about it.

So he took out a silver ingot from his pocket and threw it to Chen Wenjun.

"I'll give you the money. If you want to eat something, go to your neighbor's house and buy some."

He said, and emphasized.

"Spend sparingly. Our whole family depends on this little money for the rest of our stay in Zhenliao."

"If you run out of money, you can figure out a way to deal with it yourself."

Holding the seemingly heavy silver coins in her hand and looking at Han Shao's back as he walked away in a carefree manner, Chen Wenjun could no longer hold back the smile on her face. She said to the people around her with a sad look on her extremely beautiful face.

"What should we do now?"

How to do?
Faced with this kind of life that has never been experienced before, who knows what to do!

At this moment, Bai Zhenzhen suddenly raised her hand.

"Bai, do you have any ideas?"

The girls who were having headaches all looked at Bai Zhenzhen with anticipation in their eyes.

Even Yu Xuanji looked at her in surprise.

Facing these eager gazes, Bai Zhenzhen rolled her eyes and volunteered.

"I...I just saw that the yard was a bit messy, I'll go clean it up!"

After saying that, he ran away.

In fact, although the yard looked shabby, Jiang Wan often sent people to clean it and tidy it up, and sometimes even stayed there for a while in person, so how could it be messy?

It turns out that there is no one in this world who is reliable.

It’s just that they were all a little intimidated by the aura released by Bai Laoliu, so no one except Yu Xuanji dared to say anything more.

And Yu Xuanji has always been very doting on her, so how could she really expose the trick of Old Six pretending to be a tiger and eating a pig?

So after a moment of silence, Yu Xuanji could only smile bitterly.

"Just do as you say. We can't let you go hungry."

After saying this, he saw the women were hesitant and knew that they were too embarrassed to go out and buy rice.

Yu Xuanji simply said directly.

"How about this, give me the money and I...I'll go buy some."

In fact, Yu Xuanji mustered up a lot of courage to say this.

Thinking about the fact that I rarely even leave the yard and seldom talk to people, I feel even more uneasy.

Fortunately, Chen Wenjun echoed the words.

"I'll go with you, so I can take care of you."

Speaking of which, when an eighth-level celestial being and a sixth-level powerful being go out to purchase things, they have to look after each other.

It's really funny.

But the women who heard this nodded seriously.

Among them, Yu Xuanji, who possessed celestial cultivation and inherited the mark of the Moon God, showed a grateful look to Chen Wenjun.

So next, the people living in the Han family courtyard opened the door after hearing a knock on the door.

Then he saw a fairy from heaven who seemed to have been banished to the mortal world, standing in front of his house with a somewhat awkward look on her face.

But the other noble lady next to her had an arrogant look on her face.

"Buy food."

……

Han Shao didn't care what they did.

Instead, he took the time to meet with the head of the Six Gates who stayed behind in Zhenliao City in the simple study room that was barely separated from the main house.

Zhenliao City is located in the heart of Youzhou, and its location is even better than Youzhou City, which is supposed to be the core of the state.

Even though we were unable to add a large number of personnel due to consideration for Li Wenjing's Xiezhi Guard.

But as an important hub for information transmission, those who can stay here are considered elite and strong.

That's why Han Shao gave him the opportunity to meet him alone.

"It's just a casual chat, don't be shy."

Having said that, given Han Shao's current status, power, and reputation, how could the leaders of the six sects not be trembling with fear?
Han Shao knew this very well, so he simply said something to comfort her and then asked some questions.

After listening to the other party's response, Han Shao nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, he is a talent."

A word of praise is better than anything else.

The head of the Six Gates bowed his head with an excited and excited look.

"I am willing to die for you, my Lord!"

Han Shao had heard this so many times that he had long been desensitized to it.

However, the smile on his face was still gentle. After giving a few words of encouragement as usual, Han Shao said again.

"Youzhou City is not far from you. Please take the time to keep an eye on it for me."

Although under Li Wenjing's suppression, the "Paper Governor" has become notorious and a laughing stock among many people.

But Han Shao always felt that the Youzhou governor might not be as simple as he appeared.

After all, the governor of Youzhou came from a central government background, and it was said that he was a close minister to Emperor Taikang in his early years.

Hearing Han Shao's order, the head of the Six Gates obeyed solemnly.

"Here."

Seeing that the time was almost up, Han Shao sent him away.

As for staying for a meal to show closeness?
Sorry, I'm not qualified enough to be a person in charge.

Showing kindness is a vast science and you cannot overdo it, otherwise there will be no room for improvement in the future.

It will also cause some people to have wrong perceptions, and make them lose their composure easily.

……

It was getting towards evening.

Han Shao finally walked out of the study room. When he looked up, he saw Bai Zhenzhen showing off to him with a proud look on her face.

"Husband, I not only cleaned the yard for you just now, but also pulled out the weeds for you."

After all, he is a True Immortal of the Seventh Realm. Why would he be so embarrassed just pulling out some grass?

Han Shao laughed and was about to give a perfunctory compliment, but then he was stunned.

and many more!

Jiang Wan takes care of this yard all the time, so where are the weeds to pull out?
"Where did you pull the grass from?"

After hearing Bai Zhenzhen roughly describe a location and seeing her expression that said "come and praise me", Han Shao immediately took a deep breath.

You, Old Six, are really Old Six.

If he remembered correctly, when Jiang Wan left home at the beginning of last year, in order to show her good relationship with Gongsun Xinyi, she found a place in the yard to plant some orchids.

Han Shao even teased her at the time and told her that the "Lan" in "Mulan" was not the same as the "Lan" in "Orchid".

Now it is...

With a thought in his mind, Han Shao couldn't help but glance at Bai Zhenzhen with pity.

"Sixth Brother, let's make it clear that your husband didn't ask you to pull out this 'weed'."

After all, Wanniang is good in every way except that her heart... well, not very smart.

This point is particularly suitable for him.

Han Shao's quick way of shifting the blame finally made Bai Zhenzhen realize that something was wrong.

Her little face was slightly stiff, and she was about to ask something, but was interrupted by Shangguan Zhi who suddenly appeared.

"My dear, dinner is ready."

Is this done?
Han Shao was quite surprised, but he was also cautious.

"Have you sent it to the next door first?"

Seeing Shangguan Zhi nod, Han Shao immediately focused his mind on the next room.

"puff--"

One of the guards spat out and was about to smash the bowl in his hand.

But then Xiao Yu reminded him in a deep voice.

"Think about it carefully. This was made by the ladies themselves."

"Now is the time to test our loyalty to the Lord."

Loyal! Sincerity!
Upon hearing this, all the guards were ready to die.

Han Shao's face changed, and he realized that he seemed to have dug a big hole for himself!
Damn!
