I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 483: The Loyal and Righteous of the Time! Qingqiu Tushan Clan!

Following Han Shao's greeting, the banquet instantly became lively again.

But after Cheng Yuanyi's commotion, beneath the lively surface, there are many people with unrest in their hearts, and I'm afraid no one knows about it.

Just like the several angels from the capital who nominally have the highest status attending the wedding banquet today.

Not only did the dancers who kept twisting their enchanting bodies lose their original beauty in their eyes.

Even the strong northern wine lost its flavor.

After the banquet was finally halfway through, Han Shao stood up from the main seat and pretended to be slightly tipsy.

"I...can't hold my liquor, please drink slowly and enjoy."

As he said this, he called Li Jing and others.

"All of you who are able to attend my wedding today are my distinguished guests."

"You must take good care of the gentlemen for me. Don't be impolite, and don't be negligent."

If Han Shao had called him "honored guest" before, some people present would not have thought it was a big deal.

But now, the Dharma body of a celestial being is standing straight before his eyes.

Hearing this again, everyone subconsciously straightened up and felt a sense of honor.

"You are so polite, Duke!"

"Yes! Your Majesty, there is no need to do this. We will do as we please. We must not keep the two ladies waiting for too long!"

After a while of reasonable expressions of understanding, they rushed to say festive words such as "May the flowers bloom in pairs, the mulberry trees are tied together, and may you have a baby soon".

When Li Jing and other core members of Han Shao stood up to receive the order, they looked forward to seeing him off respectfully.

Han Shao was about to leave when he saw several angels from the Divine Capital, who were feeling very uneasy, hurriedly stand up.

"Please wait a moment, my lord."

"We are here on His Majesty's orders to congratulate His Majesty on his great happiness. Now that our mission has been completed and the wedding wine has been drunk, it is time for us to return to the capital and report."

"The journey to the Divine Capital is long and will take quite some time, so I have no choice but to ask for my resignation in advance. I hope Your Majesty will not blame me."

It is hard to imagine that the court angels, who represent the imperial power, would one day behave so humbly.

Han Shao turned around and looked at the few people, saying with some dissatisfaction.

"No matter how far away the capital is, it won't take a moment, right?"

"Why? Are you in such a hurry to leave? Are you angels dissatisfied with my poor reception?"

Seeing Han Shao's angry look, several angels from the Divine Capital couldn't find a suitable excuse in a hurry and couldn't help sweating on their foreheads.

I could only smile awkwardly and speak vaguely.

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? It's not that Your Majesty is impolite, but we have the Emperor's order, and we all have our duties in the Divine Capital. We really... we really can't delay——"

They were now anxious to inform their superiors of the details of Huang Tiandao's appearance at Han Shao's wedding banquet, and even to report it to His Majesty personally.

Every moment of delay is an unprecedented torment for them.

If they had not been repeatedly warned by their superiors when they came that this Duke of Yan was a mean-spirited person who would never let go of any grudge, and if the power he had just displayed when he killed a celestial being with a snap of his fingers was too terrifying, they would have stood up and resigned long ago.

After all, they could delay the advance, but Gongye Jin's 100,000 imperial guards and cavalry could not...

Although what Huang Tianzeidao did tonight seemed a bit senseless, it was obviously not aimless.

If things really come true as the bet made by Cheng Yuanyi, the thief Huang Tian, ​​the result... is simply unimaginable!
It has to be said that under the current situation, there are almost no stupid angels who can be sent out of the capital.

Han Shao squinted his eyes and looked at them for a while, then transmitted his voice.

"Have you ever thought that even if you go back now it's already too late?"

There is no doubt that when the enemy takes the initiative to expose their intentions and actions to you, it means that they have absolute confidence and are not afraid of your remedy or turnaround at all.

Perhaps at this time in the war situation in Yanzhou, Gongye Jin's 100,000 imperial guards and cavalry had already become trapped.

Or maybe Huang Tiandao would never give them a chance to return to the capital alive...

Several angels from the capital city must have thought of this.

"Thank you for the reminder, Lord. However, since we are paid by the Lord, it is our duty—"

Han Shao was slightly stunned when he saw several angels from the Divine Capital saying this with solemn expressions, as if they were determined to do so.

Although they were just a few eunuchs with incomplete bodies, Han Shao saw some manly spirit in them.

"He does look somewhat like Linghu Jun—"

Han Shao sighed in his heart, and out of love for the woman he loved, he waved his hand and said.

"Well, if that's the case, I won't keep you here."

"When we meet His Majesty in the God's Capital, please do not complain about me, saying that I am a rough man who does not know etiquette and cannot bear to entertain you."

Han Shao's words immediately made the several angels in the Divine Capital feel as if they had been pardoned.

Hearing his subsequent joke, I couldn't help but smile.

"Your Majesty is your beloved minister. How dare we accuse you of such a misdeed?"

As he said this, he bowed deeply to Han Shao solemnly.

"Not to mention that your Majesty is a loyal and good man from the Great Yong Dynasty. Although we are eunuchs, we cannot do such a treacherous thing as framing a loyal and good man!"

Zhongliang?

Oh, I love to hear that.

Han Shao, in a good mood, simply whispered into the void, and then said to them.

"Okay, go all the way back south, don't worry."

"As long as I am here, anyone who makes things difficult for you is against me!"

As he spoke, he pointed at the body of Dharma left by Cheng Yuanyi and spoke arrogantly.

"This is what happens if you go against me!"

I don’t know if it was intentional, but when Han Shao said this, his eyes vaguely swept over everyone at the table.

The banquet, which had been quite lively just a moment ago, suddenly became silent.

Although some children from top aristocratic families had greatly changed their impression of Han Shao, they still couldn't help but complain in their hearts at this moment.

"These warriors who come from the military are really uncivilized. Such a happy wedding is filled with such murderous intent..."

And this was exactly what Han Shao was aiming for. Anyway, today's wedding banquet had been ruined by Cheng Yuanyi's evil trick, so he might as well make the best use of it.

In a nutshell, before your strength is overwhelming, if you want people to respect you, you must first make them fear you!
This is just like any rational person would always be a little afraid when facing a psychopath with a knife.

Want face?

You can't achieve anything if you have face.

Being gentle and courteous is something that should only be considered when one is in a superior position.

"By the way, go back and tell Li Jin that this old dog didn't come to my wedding this time. I'm very unhappy."

"Tell him to remember to give me the generous gift later, otherwise... hehe——"

Seeing Han Shao calling Li Jin, the eunuch and head of Lantai Pavilion, "old dog", the gratitude that was on the tip of their tongues turned into wry smiles.

For a moment, no one dared to speak.

Because they could tell that although Han Shao seemed to be scolding Li Zhongchang, he actually thought that they were not of high enough status.

"You feel that you have been looked down upon, and you are expressing your dissatisfaction to Your Majesty..."

How could they dare to respond to such a domineering and bold person?

But they don’t know that this was actually done intentionally by Han.

He just wanted Emperor Taikang to see his arrogance, so that when he used him, he would feel defensive and hesitant.

This is to prevent him from being dragged out subconsciously to fill the big hole left by Gongye Jin after all of Gongye Jin's 100,000 imperial guards and cavalry were lost.

However, Han Shao grasped the right balance in this matter very well.

Not only did no one at the table realize what was happening, but several angels from the capital city also failed to notice it.

So after leaving Duke Yan's Mansion, they couldn't help but sigh with regret.

"Alas, the Duke of Yan is indeed a loyal and good man, but it's a pity that his character..."

It would be fine if they just swept across the grassland in front, after all, they didn't see it with their own eyes.

But tonight, they actually saw Han Shao's actions when facing Huang Tiandao's solicitation.

But...being arrogant because of one's achievements has been a way to death for officials since ancient times!
Now that Your Majesty is in his prime and needs people, it is still easy to talk about it.

"Wait until the future..." With the stories in historical books as a comparison, several angels from the capital couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

But they didn't think about it any further.

After all, the future is just the future. If you can't get through it now, there's no point in thinking more.

Just like Gongye Jin's 100,000 imperial guards...

"Let's go, I hope it's not too late—"

……

The wedding banquet is still going on.

Several angels from the Divine Capital have special identities and they can leave early, but that doesn’t mean others can leave.

So even though the banquet had lost much of its flavor with the departure of the host Han Shao, no one dared to really bring this bad luck upon themselves.

No matter how reluctant you are, you have to patiently continue the lively and festive atmosphere of the wedding banquet.

After all, they had also heard that this Duke of Yan was said to be a very narrow-minded person.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Of course, Han Shao would not admit to this kind of slander and defamation that came from who knows where.

"By the way, Lao Gu——"

"Please check who is not attending my wedding banquet today and make a note of it for me."

"When you return to attend the funeral, please bring me a generous gift."

Zhonghang Gu's mouth twitched slightly and he bowed in response.

Han Shao was heading towards the main courtyard of the inner house. After thinking for a while, he gave another instruction to Xukong.

"Once you have escorted the angel to safety, there is no need to rush back."

"Go to Yanzhou for me..."

After some hesitation, Han Shao decided to see if he could save Gongye Jin's life.

Although it may sound unpleasant and even cruel, Han Shao had to admit that those who can control the world's trends are not the majority of people, but the truly outstanding ones.

A thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find.

Now he seems to have gained momentum, but in fact everyone, including him, is just a makeshift team.

The reason why the previous Northern Expedition to the grassland went so smoothly was mainly because Gongsun Du left him a complete system of Zhen Liao troops.

Even if Han Shao made any omissions, those old generals who guarded Liao could fill them for him.

Li Jing is indeed talented in all aspects, but his vision and growth are limited because of his background. If he wants to truly stand on his own, he is still a little short of it, at least in the short term.

Unless Han Shao was willing to sacrifice the lives of his men to feed his growth—

Famous general?

If a lot of people under your command died, and you still had to make sure you didn't die, as long as you had good talent, you would basically be able to do it...

Han Shao had carefully observed Gongye Jin's trajectory and achievements over the past six months, and found him to be a rare talent.

It would be such a pity if he died like this.

The voice in the void was obviously hesitant when it heard Han Shao's order.

"Your Majesty, it's not that I didn't do my best."

"But the three old Taoists of Huang Tian Dao are quite capable. I can't handle it alone. I'm afraid that I will delay His Majesty's important event..."

I'm scared. I'm just scared.

It sounds so high-sounding.

Han Shao laughed in his heart, but he could understand it.

After all, if they were not afraid of being swept away by Huang Tiandao's great power, how could the Tushan clan of Qingqiu be willing to give up the ancestral land that had been passed down from ancient times to the present, and how could they be willing to let Tushan Feixuan, an eighth-level celestial demon, become his concubine?

"Don't worry, I understand human nature, so why would I deliberately embarrass you, old ancestor?"

"You just need to act according to circumstances. If it works, it works. If it doesn't, forget it."

Leaving aside emotional favors, most things in this world are nothing more than a consideration of interests.

Compared with Gongye Jin, the entire Qingqiu Tushan clan is ultimately more important.

No matter how bad Han Shao was at math, he could still figure out addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Having said that, seeing that the other party still did not respond directly, Han Shao said helplessly.

"Ancestor, now that Feixuan has entered my sect, we are a family."

Dongzi has said that those who fight with me are my brothers.

Otherwise, you are not worthy to be my brother.

The same reason.

Now I admit that you, Qingqiu and Tushan, are one family, but you are trying to make excuses. Do you still want to be my family?
Patriarch Tushan was silent for a moment, then he sighed, feeling as if he was on a pirate ship.

"Forget it, forget it. I will obey the king's order."

Obviously, the old vixen was very smart. After a little thought, she understood what Han Shao meant.

Han Shao heard this and said.

"Will it be too much for the ancestor?"

It's like being alone.

Don't forget, this is the chance I give you!
Do you, old Deng, understand the value of the word "opportunity"?
Upon hearing this, Patriarch Tushan was obviously stunned for a moment, and finally spoke after a moment.

"It's not difficult. I do this willingly."

After saying that, without waiting for Han Shao to speak again, he hurriedly said.

"Your Majesty, just wait for news from me."

"As long as the three thieves of Huang Tian don't attack together, it won't be a problem for me to save one person's life."

To be precise, it was that old bastard Zhang Xian, the great and virtuous teacher, who did not take any action.

It was unknown where that villain got his good fortune from, but as soon as he achieved the ninth level of Taiyi, he became terribly powerful. Even an old monster like Tushan Patriarch, who had achieved enlightenment for who knows how many years, had to retreat in front of him.

Well, of course if we really want to talk about it, no matter how powerful that old bastard Zhang Xian is, he still seems to be a little inferior to this guy named Han.

He had also secretly witnessed the terrifying fighting power that this kid Gongsun Du had displayed when he was protecting the sect.

Although the five Taiyi Dharmakāyas are not as good as a true Ninth Realm Taiyi, in the opinion of Patriarch Tushan, they are indeed comparable to most of the Taiyi realms in the world.

At least it's a 50-50 split.

What’s more crucial is that he is only at the level of a celestial being now. Once he asks Taiyi for help and captures the origin of heaven and earth one day, how terrifying will that be?
"I really don't know who is the real evildoer compared to this kid..."

The old vixen from Qingqiu, Patriarch Tushan, didn't dare to think about it any further. He muttered to himself and completely disappeared into the void.

"Why are you running so fast?"

Han Shao was a little speechless. He was planning to teach him a lesson about the corporate culture of the neighboring world, but he never thought that the other party's awareness was so low.

A wild monster that cannot be educated!
Han Shao made this comment in his mind and wanted to say something else, but he saw that Zhong Xinggu, who had been accompanying him all the way, had fallen far behind him.

"Why are you hiding so far away?"

Facing Han Shao's question, Zhong Xinggu gave an awkward laugh.

"Your Majesty, we have arrived."

"I will just stay here and guard it."

Han Shao was stunned when he heard this.

Is this it?

Why does it feel like I've only been gone for a while?

Han Shao stood at the end of the winding corridor, looking at the roads on his left and right leading to the two main courtyards in the east and west. He felt as if he had returned to the grassland battlefield where he had made the life-and-death decision.

To the north is the heart of Wuhuan, where one is in danger of death.

Going south, life and death are also unpredictable.

"Old Gu, where do you think I should go first?"

Faced with the question raised by Han Shao, Zhong Xinggu's face changed and he said anxiously.

"Your Majesty! I am loyal to you!"
