I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 462: Family Ceremony: The Harsh and Ungrateful Han Shao

Women are gentle by nature.

Therefore, when masters fight, there is always a back-and-forth invisibility.

But generally speaking, Madam Gongsun Xinyi was not completely defenseless in front of Jiang Wan.

Han Shao's Tai Chi skills are also quite good.

Only in this way can the two masters constantly use the techniques of receiving, transforming and releasing during the secret exchanges of punches and kicks, achieving a perfect balance while eliminating the strength and aftermath.

Overturned?

nonexistent.

Because Yu Xuanji and other concubines are the third wheel he prepared for himself.

As long as he doesn't do anything stupid and step on the accelerator to speed, the "car" will definitely be stable and there will be no tragic incident of "car crash and death".

……

Most common people do not have family tombs.

Not to mention Feng Shui.

People can be buried in the suburbs outside the city with permission from the government.

After all, Han's father and Jiang's father were soldiers who suppressed the Liao Dynasty, and they died in the war.

Therefore, the location of the tomb is not too remote, nor too difficult to find.

The carriage carrying the family, escorted by the personal guards, went north along the long street out of the city, and after walking for a while they almost reached the boundary.

"These are the Liao Zhen Army..."

Perhaps because they were about to go to pay tribute to their parents-in-law, even Bai Zhenzhen, who had the most outgoing personality, had a serious expression and did not dare to speak carelessly.

At this moment, everyone was distracted by Chen Wenjun's exclamation, and they all subconsciously looked outside the carriage through the opened curtain.

It might not be quite right to say that the endless field of tombstones made me shocked, but I was definitely distracted.

"All."

"Most of the soldiers who died in the Liao army over the past few decades are buried here."

Gongsun Xinyi usually doesn't have much emotion when she speaks, but at this moment her voice was a little low.

The best restaurant in Zhenliao City is called Zhenbei.

But the old people in Zhenliao City know that the real Zhenbei has never been the tallest building that is famous in Youzhou.

Instead, the low tombs that stretch almost to the end before our eyes are the heroic souls buried beneath these tombs.

It is they who look into the distance to the north from the north of the city. It is them, generation after generation, who use their flesh and blood during their lifetime and their heroic spirits after their death to suppress the north!

The Zhenbei Tower was built only because most of the soldiers in the army loved drinking, and thus it gained some of their legacy and reputation.

After hearing what Gongsun Xinyi said, the women in the carriage became even more silent.

Given their backgrounds and pasts, how could they truly appreciate the heroism and sacrifice of warriors?

Now being in this silent and silent cemetery gave them some real feelings.

Even my breathing became a little heavier.

……

The twenty-second day of the first lunar month, Jiawu Day, is suitable for burials and sacrifices.

From another perspective, this is also an 'auspicious day'.

Therefore, it was not just Han Shao and his group that came to this slightly special area in the north of the city today.

There are even quite a few people coming and going.

After all, in the battle last year, the remains of many soldiers were not successfully returned to the land of Zhenliao City until a year later.

After the burial, there are another 49 days from the first seventh day to the last seventh day before the funeral is truly over.

Han Shao's carriage when he returned to Zhenliao City was not luxurious.

But with such personal guards accompanying him, how could he not attract attention from passers-by along the way?
Along the way, many pedestrians were surprised that such a distinguished person would appear here, but they had to hurriedly move aside and bow to greet him.

After several attempts, Han Shao had to use his magical powers to conceal his whereabouts and move forward in silence.

Only when they arrived at the place did they withdraw their magical powers, revealing their figures again.

This sudden miracle in broad daylight, happening in a graveyard, really frightened the people there.

One of them was an old man with a white beard and was quite old. He almost suffocated and went straight over.

Fortunately, Xiao Yu reacted quickly and sent a magical power over in an instant, which helped the old man to recover.

What he didn't expect was that after the old man took a breath, he suppressed his fear and shouted back.

"You... who are you? Why... did you come here?!"

This is a good question.

Not only Xiao Yu was stunned, but even Han Shao, the real boss, was stunned.

For a moment, I almost thought I had gone to the wrong place.

He was about to speak with a frown on his face, but Jiang Wan beside him tugged at his sleeve.

After some whispering, Han Shao finally understood the whole story.

Walking out of the carriage, Han Shao squinted his eyes and looked at the young and old people in front of him. He was silent for a moment before speaking lightly.

"I have come to pay homage to my deceased father."

After these words were spoken, several people, young and old, in front of him were stunned for a long while.

After a while, the old man seemed to react. He widened his cloudy eyes, looked Han Shao up and down for a while, and suddenly said with surprise.

"Are you the one from my second brother's family... Shao Ge'er?"

The venerable's name is taboo.

Seeing that the old man called the emperor by his name, the guards' eyes became filled with murderous intent and they shouted.

"presumptuous!"

Although these bodyguards are mostly just show-offs compared to the real tough soldiers in the army, their skills are real.

The words were like thunder, carrying with them a murderous aura; one shout was enough to make an ordinary person tremble with fear.

Even though Han Shao's thoughts protected their minds, two of the young men, who were not much older than Han Shao, still went limp and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

On the contrary, the old man just shook his body and did not really lose his composure.

Seeing the anger and dissatisfaction in the eyes of the two people on the ground when they stood up, Han Shao narrowed his eyes slightly but did not pay any attention to them.

After sensing the not-so-thin bloodline of the old man, he nodded.

"Uncle, you have worked hard these days."

Upon hearing this, the old man hurriedly shook his head.

"It's not hard! It's not hard! Shao Ge'er, that's not true! My Han family worked so hard to produce a great man like Shao Ge'er."

"I should always take care of you, uncle."

Han Shao was noncommittal about this.

Jiang Wan had just explained it to him clearly that the group of people in front of him were indeed his blood relatives.

According to the rules of this world, those who are within the five generations of kinship are considered close blood relatives.

The old man in front of me is even closer.

He and Han Shao's grandfather are brothers from the same mother.

It was natural for Han Shao to call him great uncle, and it didn't count as shortening his life.

Seeing that Han Shao had accepted the marriage, the old man looked quite excited and hurriedly pulled a few people around him.

"Why don't you come and meet Shao Ge'er? Shao Ge'er is a noble man now. You will have your own luck in the future."

At his age, he still guards the graves of his sons and nephews without regard for his dignity.

Isn’t this the day we are waiting for?
After hearing the old man's words, including the two people who had just fallen to the ground in fright, several people, regardless of their seniority, hurriedly saluted Han Shao.

"Hello...Hello, Brother Shao."

One of them was a young man who was about the same age as Han Shao, or slightly older, and spoke with a slightly flushed face.

"Shao Ge'er, I...I am your clan brother."

Clan brother?

Han Shao thought about it, and finally nodded without any joy or anger, considering that if he failed in the future, this man would also be beheaded.

It was barely an acknowledgement of what he said.

At this time, the quick-witted Xiao Yu noticed that Han Shao seemed to be uninterested in the people in front of him, so he walked up and said.

"Sir, it's almost time."

Han Shao nodded.

He turned back to the carriage and personally led Gongsun Xinyi and Jiang Wan off the carriage.

The former is cool and noble, while the latter is gentle and beautiful, neither of them looks like ordinary people.

Ordinary people would not see such women often, and even if they did, they would not dare to look at them for too long, for fear of bringing disaster upon themselves.

And at this moment, he appeared in front of the old men, causing them to hold their breath and look nervous.

The concubines such as Yu Xuanji who got off the carriage right after him, some of whom had fairy-like looks, some of whom were extremely noble, and some of whom were alluring and charming, made them even more stunned.

But when he thought that even such a woman was just a woman from his Han family.

The tension in the hearts of several people eased a little, and one of them even dared to secretly glance at Tushan Feixuan, who was the most charming. He thought, I don't know how Shao Ge'er can tolerate such a charming woman.

With Tushan Feixuan's cultivation level, let alone such a direct gaze, she would be able to sense it even if someone was secretly spying on her from thousands of miles away.

Those naturally charming and affectionate brows were slightly frowned.

But considering the solemnity of the place, she didn't dare to act presumptuously, so she could only endure it for the time being.

But she could bear it. Han Shao, who was leading them to the cemetery, paused.

Before he turned around, he was already looking back at that person.

"Uncle, right?"

"Do you think you can disrespect her just because she's a concubine?"

Facing Han Shao's wolf-like gaze, the man's expression froze.

Han Shao did not give him a chance to reply. He just turned his gaze to his great uncle and said calmly.

"I am the Duke of Yan bestowed upon me by your majesty, a prince among men."

"My lineage is the legitimate one, and you are the illegitimate ones. Uncle, do you have any objection?"

Upon hearing this, Han Shao's great uncle's excited expression froze, and he felt a little at a loss for what to do for a moment.

After a moment, he spoke hesitantly.

"No...no objection."

Han Shao nodded slightly when he heard this, and then continued.

"My lineage is small, my father and grandfather died early. Now I am the leader of the clan as the descendant of the family. Uncle, do you have any objection?"

He has accepted both the legitimate and illegitimate children, so what other opinions could he have?
Seeing that he, the oldest member of the Han family, nodded in agreement, Han Shao smiled with satisfaction.

Then he turned his gaze back to the middle-aged man and said indifferently.

"How can such a treacherous person be worthy of being a descendant of the Han family?"

"Keeping him here will only tarnish the reputation of our Han family. It would be better to remove him from the clan."

"In the future, if you dare to use the name of our Han family to cheat people outside, don't blame us for our strict family rules!"

Seeing Han Shao go through so much trouble and say this.

The Han family members in front of him were all stunned, with disbelief in their eyes.

This... is this kicking you out of the house?
Han Shao's great uncle was dumbfounded, and after learning what mistake his youngest son had made, he opened his mouth to plead for him.

But when he raised his eyes, he met Han Shao's indifferent and cold eyes.

"Do you think he is not guilty enough?"

The old man lowered his head and said nothing, but it was obvious that he really felt that way.

Han Shao laughed sarcastically and pointed with one finger, releasing a ray of heavenly aura from Tushan Feixuan.

In an instant, a terrifying aura pressed down like a mountain, and then disappeared in an instant.

"Who gave him the courage to offend an eighth-level celestial being?"

"Is it you? Or me?"

Looking at the few people in front of him who looked like they were dead, Han Shao snorted coldly.

"Today, if his surname wasn't Han, if your surname wasn't Han, it wouldn't just be him. Do you know what would happen to you?"

If a commoner offends a mere Baili Hou, his family will be destroyed.

What’s more, there are the eight realms of celestial beings living in the clouds?
There was a moment of dead silence. The so-called uncle, who had already realized his fate, turned pale and fell to the ground in panic. He begged for mercy to Han Shao while pleading with the old man.

“Father! Father! Please beg Shao Ge’er! Please beg Shao Ge’er!”

"Don't let your child be kicked out of the family!"

After being a lowly person all his life, he finally had this great fortune, but before he could show off his power, he fell from grace.

This huge gap is almost like lingchi.

It’s a pity that he was disappointed in the end.

Even though the old man has always doted on this youngest son, what does it matter compared to the future wealth and glory of the whole family?
Moreover, judging from the fact that this old man was willing to abandon the face of his elders and come to guard the grave for Han's father, it can be seen that although this old man has no great wisdom, he is certainly not lacking in cleverness.

"Everyone listens to the patriarch."

"I will hand over the entire family tree to the clan leader and remove this child from the list."

After all, he was an old and shrewd man. He had already noticed Han Shao's coldness and no longer dared to call himself uncle, let alone call Han Shao "Shao Ge'er".

Han Shao nodded in satisfaction at his sensible attitude, then waved his hand.

"Drag down."

Han Shao felt it was unlucky to see this happening in front of his deceased father's grave, but he didn't take it to heart.

This has always been his attitude towards these so-called tribesmen.

If someone has some abilities and is suitable, he would not hesitate to give him a chance, thus fulfilling their blood relationship.

After all, it doesn't matter who you use.
For example, he was quite satisfied with Han Zhaohan Sanlang.

As for those who want to sit back and reap the rewards and rise to prominence just by relying on the simple word "Han", or even harbor other unrealistic fantasies, Han Shao can only say that they are overthinking.

And there is a way to die.

"In the future, take good care of the family temple for me, and I will ensure that you will have no worries about food and clothing."

"Don't think too much about the rest."

Hearing Han Shao's words, several people, including the old man, became anxious instantly and didn't even have time to be afraid.

"Shao Ge'er! We are your blood relatives and brothers!"

"Blood relatives? Brothers?"

Han Shao smiled.

Not to mention him, even when Han's father was still alive, they never visited him once.

It's just that he was too lazy to delve into those dusty past events.

As he spoke, he pointed at the guards and said indifferently.

"I have hundreds of thousands of armored men and women, why would I need you useless people?"

Han Shao's two cousins ​​were quite indignant.

"How can Sanlang do that?"

It was because of Sanlang Han Zhao that they were able to appear in front of Han Shao.

And Sanlang Han Zhao has indeed risen rapidly by virtue of this blood connection. It is said that he is now a general of Qujun commanding 500 cavalry.

In their opinion, everyone is related by blood, so why can Sanlang do it but they can't?
Han Shao was amused when he heard this.

He waved his hand.

"Give him a knife and another man."

The long sword fell to the ground and a personal guard stepped forward.

Han Shao looked at the waste and said indifferently.

"My personal guard doesn't need any skills, just fight him for three moves."

"After three moves, I will grant you an official position."

Is there such a good thing?
The idiot hurriedly picked up the knife, but before that, he suddenly asked.

"What if I can't survive three moves?"

Han Shao was a little surprised.

"Fighting on the battlefield is a matter of life and death."

"If you can't make it, you will die, of course."

As he said this, he saw his face turn pale and was about to throw the knife.

Han Shao said calmly.

"There is no joking in the army. If you take a knife and then throw it away, you will be a surrender. Think about it carefully."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces turned pale.

Han Shao's great uncle was even more anxious.

"Chief! No! We don't want anything! We just ask you to take good care of the ancestral temple for us, and beg you to show us mercy!"

show mercy?
If you keep the body of a snake and live beside a real dragon in an attempt to borrow the dragon's energy to transform into a dragon, you must be mentally prepared to be devoured by the real dragon.

Otherwise, how could there be such a good thing in the world?
Han Shao just glanced at him and said.

"Watch them with your own eyes, and wait until the results come out before you come to look for Gu."

After saying this, he ignored the old man who was completely stunned and walked towards his deceased father's grave with his wives and concubines.

Gongsun Xinyi, who was traveling with him, hesitated.

"Aren't you afraid that it will get out and people will accuse you of being mean and ungrateful, and having no regard for human ethics and family affection?"

Jiang Wan hesitated for a moment and said the same thing.

"Isn't it a bad omen to see blood at my father's grave today?"
