I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 461: There Can't Be Two Tigers in One Mountain?
Today, Han Shao finally understood what it meant to endure hardship.

After finishing the meal in front of him under the expectant gazes of the girls, Han Shao wiped his mouth calmly and gave a sincere evaluation.

“Yes, there is a lot of room for improvement.”

After hearing Han Shao's praise, they, who were originally a little nervous, suddenly became excited.

The master and disciple Tushan Feixuan couldn't wait to express it.

"Since my dear husband likes it, we will cook again tomorrow."

Han Shao's expression remained unchanged, but the corner of his eye twitched.

And Yu Xuanji said modestly.

"It's all because of Aunt Wang next door who taught me well."

Fortunately, when they went to buy from the neighbors, they asked Aunt Wang next door to come and teach them. Otherwise, faced with those rice and ingredients, they really wouldn't know how to start.

Aunt Wang, who was about to sneak away when no one was paying attention, turned pale when she heard Yu Xuanji pleading for credit for herself.

He fell to his knees in the yard with a thud, wailing in agony.

"It's not me! It's not me! I didn't teach you to poison and murder this... noble man of the Han family!"

In the past, I was used to calling him "Han family kid". Fortunately, I realized and changed my words in time, otherwise I would be committing an even more serious crime!
After all, she had witnessed Han Shao killing several neighbors because of a disagreement.

Even now, that scene often wakes her up from nightmares.

Seeing how scared she was, Han Shao didn't know what to say.

The reason he took ruthless action in the first place was simply because those ignorant idiots were too disgusting.

He even tried to use the so-called moral friendship between fellow villagers to kidnap himself and gain benefits from him.

They are so stupid, if they don’t die, who will?
"Get up."

Han Shao casually waved his hand to help Aunt Wang up, and he was too lazy to chat with her about the past.

After all, these so-called neighbors didn't leave many good memories for their predecessors.

Although she was obviously frightened at this time, she continued to chatter on and on to explain herself.

"The old woman tried her best to teach me, but I just couldn't learn it!"

"Don't blame me! Really don't blame me, the old lady—"

Han Shao frowned, used his magic power to stop her from talking, and then threw her back into her yard.

After her commotion, Tushan Feixuan finally understood what was going on and carefully took a bite of the "delicious dish" in front of her.

The moment her taste buds blossomed, even though she had used her magic power to instantly block her five senses, the brief aftertaste that was about to disappear still made her face change.

You are right, there is indeed a lot of room for improvement.

Because the lower limit of negative value is too large...

However, not everyone reacted as quickly as Tushan Feixuan, so they vomited directly after taking a bite.

Even if ordinary food tastes bad, it is just too bland or too salty, and there is a limit to it.

But who could have made some of them have the sudden inspiration to creatively mix in the laws and principles of Taoism?
So when facing Han Shao's gaze on her, Yu Xuanji blushed slightly and reluctantly explained for herself.

"I...I saw that the spiritual chef did it this way..."

She only wants to give her husband the best.

What could she have done wrong?

So Han Shao even had to comfort her with gentle words.

"I have sensed Xuanji's feelings."

"It was just a mistake. I will improve next time."

Having said that, he smiled and comforted the remaining people.

"You too."

"Next, as long as you stay in Zhenliao City for one day, I will leave my husband's meals to you."

"The taste doesn't matter, as long as you make it yourself."

At worst, I can use my magical powers to seal my five senses.

The reason why Han Shao let them do these things that ordinary women do was mainly because he wanted them to be closer to the world.

Even if it's just a slight touch, it can add a bit of popularity to your life.

Otherwise, as time goes on, you will end up becoming the stone gods and Buddhas high above in the temple.

Either lifeless or cold and ruthless.

After all, Han Shao was also planning for the future.

Of course, they couldn't guess Han Shao's intention, but they were moved by his words.

"Mr. Lang——"

……

Wait until dinner is over.

The women who squeezed into this small courtyard for the first time soon encountered a new trouble.

That is because the courtyard is too small and their spirits are too powerful.

The distance from the left ear room to the right ear room was such that even without using one's spiritual power to pay attention, some movements could still be clearly heard.

"Bah! I said that Shangguan looked cold and dignified, but in fact, she was secretly-"

Chen Wenjun spat lightly in annoyance.

In order to squeeze into one bed, Tushan Feixuan, who had transformed into a petite white fox, rubbed her legs calmly.

It's okay if you have never experienced some things before. At most, you will be curious, but you will not really empathize with them or feel the torment.

In the silence, perhaps he noticed that the breathing of people around him was a little heavy.

In the darkness, a pair of sparkling red eyes suddenly suggested as if an idea had occurred to them.

"How about...we sneak over and take a look?"

Faced with Bai Laoliu's shamelessness, Yu Xuanji tried to calm her breath and pretended to be calm.

"Zhenzhen, stop messing around."

Bai Laoliu curled her lips. She was not afraid of her master Yu Xuanji now.

After all, she is the sixth child and her master is only the third.

To round it off, she is already qualified to be on equal footing with her master!

Ignoring Yu Xuanji's weak rebuke, Bai Zhenzhen urged in a low voice.

"Who of you wants to go with me?"

In the dark, the few people breathing quickened a little, obviously they were a little excited.

But not everyone has the thick skin and courage to tease someone at a time like this.

So there was silence again.

Bai Laoliu was a little annoyed, "They are all a bunch of cowards."

Just when she was beginning to get a little scared, she heard a voice in the darkness whispering in response.

"I go with you."

Tushan Feixuan said in her heart that she was just intimidated by the terrifying power of Bai Laoliu's 'Nine Realms Taiyi' and wanted to please her.

Absolutely not...absolutely not expecting anything!
Seeing that someone agreed with him, Bai Laoliu, who was naturally lively and outgoing, was instantly overjoyed.

"go!"

After saying that, in order not to give Yu Xuanji the opportunity to pull him back, he and Tushan Feixuan turned into two white shadows, one in front and one behind, and rushed to the next ear room.

Yu Xuanji and Chen Wenjun were stunned when they saw this.

I can only say it is a monster, it really is a monster.

Act boldly and recklessly, even a little unorthodox.

"Forget it, I'm just taking a sneak peek. It shouldn't disturb my husband's mood. Maybe I'll be back soon."

After hearing Yu Xuanji's self-comforting words, Chen Wenjun didn't know what to say.

I can only respond with silence.

But as time passed, Chen Wenjun became more and more annoyed seeing that the two had not returned for a long time.

Just as she was about to say something, two strange noises came from next door, which made her face turn red.

"Pfft - shameless, how could they do this!"

Chen Wenjun's tone was filled with anger and resentment.

This time it was Yu Xuanji's turn to be completely silent.

There was another long silence. As the noise from next door gradually became louder, Chen Wenjun, who could no longer bear it, gritted his teeth and spoke in a trembling voice.

"That's too much! They've been gone for so long, I'm going to call them back!"

After saying this, without giving Yu Xuanji a chance to refute, he simply put on a gauze and disappeared from the simple bed in this shabby room.

Yu Xuanji is a little dull, but he is not a fool.

She knew that her going to call people back was fake, and her real purpose was to prepare meat buns to beat the dog.

Sure enough, it didn't take long before the noise next door proved everything.

The empty bed was no longer as crowded as before, and Yu Xuanji couldn't help but snort.

She wanted to force herself to fall asleep, but the noises coming from next door were like a demon in her heart, constantly stirring her mind and making her toss and turn and unable to sleep.

"She...how could they do this? It's too bullying."

"It was clearly agreed that tonight should belong to Shangguan."

Thinking that her husband had asked her to be the first to offer sacrifices today, Yu Xuanji suddenly felt that she had reason and obligation to uphold justice for the fifth brother Shangguan Zhi.

Well, definitely not wanting to get involved!

……

The next day, Han Shao got up early.

Shangguan Zhi, who had been pushed to the corner of the bed, looked at the rosy faces around her and her face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Seeing this, Bai Laoliu, who had eaten everything, said with a generous look on his face.

"Don't be so stingy! At worst, I'll give you one night back!"

Shangguan Zhi's already dull and cold face became even more indifferent.

"If I remember correctly, when the shifts were arranged, there were only four of us, not you, right?"

"What do you want in return?"

Bai Zhenzhen thought about it and realized that it was true.

But it doesn’t matter, she still has Yu Xuanji as her master.

It’s a pity that Yu Xuanji is too thin-skinned and she covered her face with the quilt and said nothing.

Bai Zhenzhen was a little embarrassed for a moment.

At this time, Shangguan Zhi looked at Master Tushan Feixuan and his disciple beside him and said coldly.

"What do you say?"

The food has already entered my stomach, what can I say?
Tushan Feixuan put on her clothes in front of everyone without any hesitation.

"Didn't the Bai family say that at worst we can just compensate you?"

Anyway, she just forced her way in from the first night.

I don't mind others spending a night with me.

Chen Wenjun also felt that he was in the wrong, so he nodded and said, "I'll pay it back too."

Shangguan Zhi snorted coldly and said directly.

"Since you all agreed, the next three consecutive days are mine."

After these words were spoken, Tushan Feixuan and her disciple, who had never gotten along with each other, stood on the same side for a rare occasion.

"no!"

There were three shouts in succession, among which Bai Laoliu, who had the least say, shouted the loudest.

Even Yu Xuanji expressed it weakly.

"This... this is against the rules."

rule?

Oh, now we're talking about rules?

When we broke the rules last night, you were the loudest!

But Shangguan Zhi was a cowardly person at heart, and the tit-for-tat confrontation just now had pushed this honest man to the extreme point of exploding.

After the outburst, Shangguan Zhi decisively became cowardly again.

"Then...then when you return it to me, you are not allowed to hold the lamp."

"I don't... don't like being looked at..."

……

have to say.

No matter how women sleep in their private homes, they are all dignified once they go out.

But whenever Han Shao's eyes fell on him, he couldn't help but reveal some flaws.

Han Shao felt a little amused and shook his head, throwing away some of the waste materials related to the bed from his mind.

Because Gongsun Xinyi and Jiang Wan came together as expected.

Han Shao looked straight ahead and walked forward to greet him with a smile.

After entering the courtyard, Gongsun Xinyi and Jiang Wan seemed to have telepathically walked past Han Shao and went to the main house to sleep.

Seeing that there was no sign of anyone's involvement, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, this is their last territory.

If Han Shao really didn't even give them this little bit of face, they would be really disappointed.

"You haven't used your breakfast yet? Let's use some together."

The gentle smile on Jiang Wan's face always makes people feel like spring breeze.

But what has been said cannot be rejected.

After everyone had received a portion, Jiang Wan went to the courtyard next door where the guards lived.

"I made this this morning. Please try it and see if it suits your taste."

After experiencing the ordeal last night, the guards couldn't help but turn green when they looked at the breakfast in front of them.

But they couldn't refuse last night, and they were even less able to refuse when facing Jiang Wan today.

"Thank you, Madam Jiang, for the reward!"

Perhaps sensing the resistance of these guards, Jiang Wan felt puzzled and finally set her eyes on Xiao Yu.

"Taste it?"

Jiang Wan's smile was gentle, but these two simple words contained a huge invisible pressure.

Xiao Yu was sweating on his forehead and could only take out a piece of cake, preparing to swallow it whole, and then force himself to praise the master.

But I never thought that once I put this pastry in my mouth, it was not inferior to the one cooked by the famous chef of Zhenbeilou.

"how?"

"My wife's craftsmanship has reached perfection!"

Hearing Xiao Yu's praise, the guards secretly sighed.

"The lieutenant general is indeed a lieutenant general. He speaks so sincerely that it is hard to tell whether it is true or false."

"No wonder you can be our leader."

But after they personally "tested the poison", they discovered that their leader's performance just now was not an act.

"good to eat!"

They don't have Xiao Yu's rich vocabulary. They just say something is delicious and then they gobble it up.

There was no other way, they had to save the taste buds that were killed last night.

Seeing this, Jiang Wan finally put her thoughts aside and her smile became more sincere.

"Eat slowly. If you like it, I'll make more for you tomorrow."

"Thank you, Madam Jiang!"

The guards shouted loudly with excitement.

What is the real mistress Feng Yi.

This is.

A box of breakfast, cakes and a few words were enough to warm the hearts of the guards and make them wish they could die for him.

When Jiang Wan turned and left, Xiao Yu, who had just swallowed a piece of cake, sighed secretly with a complicated expression.

Given his background, he was not familiar with Gongsun Xinyi, but he knew a lot about her.

I thought that Lady Gongsun from Liaodong, who had fought on the battlefield since her early years, was already a fairy from heaven and a remarkable woman on earth.

But I never thought that this lady Jiang, who seemed to come from the common people, was actually no less capable.

When Xiao Yu thought about these two women living under the same roof and sharing the same husband in the future, he couldn't help but feel a little worried while admiring them.

after all--

"There is no room for two tigers in one mountain..."

……

When Jiang Wan returned to the main courtyard, she saw that except for Han Shao and Gongsun Xinyi, everyone else was dejected and looked frustrated.

Jiang Wan, who already had a guess in her mind, asked with a smile.

"What's wrong? But it's not to your taste?"

After a moment of silence, Chen Wenjun sighed helplessly.

"I never thought that your craftsmanship was so exquisite. Compared with you, I am really ashamed."

Yu Xuanji, who didn't want Han Shao to be disappointed in her again, mustered up the courage to speak.

"Could you please teach me the art of cooking?"

Studying?

It's just that you guys are not even willing to call me sister in advance.

Although Jiang Wan was complaining in her heart, she smiled calmly.

"Want to learn? Then I'll teach you!"

Showing the master's demeanor.

With Yu Xuanji taking the lead, Bai Laoliu followed suit.

"Me too! I want to learn, too."

Master and disciple Tushan Feixuan, who have always been the first to lag behind others, also echoed the words.

Seeing this, Jiang Wan nodded and agreed to everything.

His words make people feel close to him.

Looking at Jiang Wan who was surrounded by the crowd, Gongsun Xinyi's eyes flashed with complexity.

She could never learn Jiang Wan's methods and friendliness.

Although she is not very old, some things seem to be innate to her.

As long as she stood there and smiled slightly, she was dazzling.

In comparison, she, Madam Gongsun, seemed dull and lackluster.

"Am I... am I terrible?"

This was the first time that Gongsun Xinyi showed weakness in front of him. In the past, even when she showed weakness, it was always accompanied by a bit of aggressiveness.

From this, it can be seen that during the year when she was away, someone really left a big shadow on her.

Laughing in his heart, Han Shao reached out and held her slightly cold hand, comforting her softly.

"Mulan is never bad."

Han Shao would never forget the huge shock he felt when the setting sun arrow suddenly burst out.

It was so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at it.

Gongsun Xinyi looked at Han Shao steadily, as if trying to discern the truth of his words.

Han Shao did not flinch or avoid her gaze, allowing her eyes to penetrate everything and reach the scene that was imprinted in the depths of his soul.

"He still remembers..."

Gongsun Xinyi was sighing with emotion when her face suddenly turned red and she glared at him fiercely.

"Humph! So you've been targeting me since the first moment you saw me!"

The past that was branded on his soul even left behind Han Shao’s inner voice.

Han Shao was not ashamed when he heard this, and even said it proudly.

"If the toad had no ambition to swallow the sky, how could it have made the divine phoenix fall from the sky?"

The two were communicating with each other through telepathy, but were interrupted by Jiang Wan, who was sitting down and smiling.

"What are you talking about?"

"Just chat about the past."

When Gongsun Xinyi said this, she seemed to have regained some confidence in front of Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan almost instinctively half-closed her eyes and smiled, and finally her gaze fell on Han Shao.

But she didn't continue the topic after all, she just changed the topic.

"After dinner, let's go and worship our father and mother."

It was unclear whether Jiang Wan's words were intentional or not, Gongsun Xinyi just pretended not to hear.

It must be said that the tacit understanding they had developed with each other over the past year was even better than that between them and Han Shao.

Han Shao was about to speak when he heard Gongsun Xinyi suddenly signal to Yu Xuanji and others below and said.

"Let's all go together. It will be more lively with more people."

"It will also make my future parents-in-law happy. After all, in the eyes of the elderly, a large and prosperous family is the most important thing."

Look, this is the demeanor of a lady.

There was no need to look to see that after hearing this, Yu Xuanji and the others were naturally stunned at first, and then showed surprise.

Jiang Wan looked at Gongsun Xinyi deeply, and finally nodded.

"Sister is right."
