I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 521: On the list! Locking Dragon Well Locks the Dragon!

A mere sixth realm was certainly not worth Han Shao's attention.

He was just planning for the future and conducting a small experiment.

After all, south is not north.

The latter are fighting for living space, it is a life-and-death battle, there is only strength and weakness, no right or wrong.

But it’s different heading south.

What is flowing is your own blood.

Once too much flows, who can guarantee that the long and tragic tragedy between the end of the Han Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty and the Sui and Tang Dynasties will not be repeated?
By then, those ambitious people who are stirring up trouble now will become sinners in the long history of the future.

The same is true for Mr. Han.

"Hey, Huang Tian's power is already formed, there are too many people..."

Nowadays, the Yellow Sky is spreading across the eight states, and there are many fanatical believers in the teachings of the great and virtuous teacher Zhang Xian.

Did they kill all these people?
But if we don’t kill them, what difference will it make even if the three Zhang Taoist priests die?

Next, there will be countless "great and virtuous teachers" emerging and continuing to hold high the banner of the Yellow Sky.

Kill one today, and two tomorrow.

If we don’t solve the problem at its root, it will just keep repeating itself endlessly.

Hearing Han Shao's words, the woman serving beside him was a little puzzled.

"With your current strength, why are you still so worried about Huang Tiandao?"

She had been in Han Shao's secret realm of law, and had witnessed with her own eyes how the glorious and sacred heavenly palace gradually turned from virtual to real, until it became as shocking as it is now.

She had even seen the heavenly book that was imprinted with pictures of the ancient heavenly palace.

On top of it, the three brothers Zhang Xian, the great and virtuous teacher of Huang Tiandao, are already on the list!
Han Shao smiled helplessly upon hearing this.

"There are always problems in this world that cannot be solved simply by cultivation or strength, such as human hearts..."

The beautiful woman beside him thought for a while after hearing what he said. Finally, she looked up at Han Shao and said helplessly.

"Have you touched me enough, my Lord? If you have, could you please let me go?"

Han Shao was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously looked down at the soft jade finger he was holding tightly.

I have to say, this hand is extremely beautiful.

If it weren't born naturally, no matter how skilled the craftsman is, he wouldn't be able to carve out this gift from God.

No wonder someone couldn't let it go once it fell into his hands.

At this moment, a suppressed coquettish snort was heard, and her eyes slightly raised. There was a hint of nobility lingering between her brows, which was awe-inspiring and yet a bit charming.

While people can't help but yearn for it, they subconsciously dare not have any blasphemous thoughts.

Of course, Han Shao is not among them.

Seeing that the power wrapped around her hand not only did not loosen, but instead tightened a little, and the gaze looking at her gradually became a little hot, the woman calmed her somewhat panicked mind and sighed.

"I...I only have a little bit of my true spirit left, but no real body. What's the fun in that?"

This Dharma body, constructed with the true spirit as its core, is made up of the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

It looks real, but it can't compare to real flesh and blood.

Han Shao suddenly became bored and lost some interest after hearing this.

But at this moment, the woman added another sentence without knowing the consequences.

"I am a humble woman, a wife and a mother, so I hope you will respect yourself."

Please respect yourself?
Han Shao had said these three words many times, but now when he heard others say them, he realized that these three words were full of provocation and even teasing.

It makes people unable to help but feel rebellious.

What about being a wife and a mother...

As expected, everyone despises Prime Minister Cao, but everyone also yearns for Prime Minister Cao?

An irresistible force was transmitted from his hands, and the beauty in his arms struggled slightly.

Han Shao raised her pointed yet round chin. Even though he was picky, he had to admit that this woman lived up to the word "Yan" in her name.

She is really born with good looks.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

The beauty's eyes were dodging in panic.

Han Shao suddenly became curious.

"How did you fool His Majesty in the first place?"

The Nine Realms of Taiyi is the pinnacle of the human world.

With the blessing of the dragon energy of the Great Yong Emperor, he is known as the number one person in the world.

But such a being was actually fooled by the Eight Realms Heavenly Beings and has not even reacted until today.

It's really hilarious, but also makes people feel pity.

There is no doubt that Han Shao's doubts involve past events that Gong Yan is unwilling to mention.

But unfortunately, Han Shao's existence is like God to those dead souls on the list.

People can deceive others, deceive their hearts, and deceive themselves, but the only thing they cannot deceive is God.

The rest is nothing but death.

If you have sinned against Heaven, there is no one to pray for.

So even though this posture of nestling in someone else's arms was very unfamiliar and resistant to Gong Yan, she still had no choice but to obey silently.

Then he sighed softly and recounted the past events.

Since the extinction of the four spirits of heaven and earth in ancient times, the dragon clan has occupied the four directions of heaven and earth, the four colors and four lives.

The east is green, the west is white.

The north is dark, the south is red.

It is obvious that the red dragon that helped Ji Tianyuan, the founding emperor of Dayong, to defeat Dayong came from the South China Sea.

The mermaids have lived in the South China Sea for generations, so there is no need to say much about the connection between the two.

So this is the cause of this incident.

Han Shao did not show any impatience with Gong Yan's going around in circles and not getting to the point.

Instead, he listened quietly to the woman in his arms speaking slowly without interrupting.

It was not until a moment later, after he finished explaining the previous events and started to get to the point, that Han Shao could not help but interrupt.

"Wait, what did you say? Locking Dragon Well?"

"You mean, back then, the red dragon was suppressed by Ji Tianyuan... ahem, our dynasty's great ancestor used 108 dragon-locking wells to suppress it in the Divine Capital's veins?"

After all, he still holds the Ji family's rice bowl, so he has to be cautious.

But Gong Yan did not have the same taboos as Han Shao.

In response to Han Shao's surprise, Gong Yan gave a bitter smile.

"Otherwise, Your Majesty, how do you think Ji Tianyuan can gather the luck of the world and transform it into the dragon energy of the imperial way for his own use?"

All of this always requires a medium, a carrier and a hub.

There is also the Dragon Cauldron that guards the country in the Imperial Observatory.

It is called the Fortune of the Zhenguo Dynasty, but its real name should be called the Dragon-Suppressing Cauldron.

The Locking Dragon Well locks the dragon, and the Dragon-Suppressing Cauldron suppresses the dragon.

Han Shao couldn't help but interrupt when he suddenly heard the secret of the Yong Ji clan that was unknown to most people in the world.

"That's not right. Didn't the red dragon follow Ji Tianyuan..."

All living beings in this world, even if they belong to different species, cannot escape the word "love".

But Gongyan smiled bitterly.

"Haven't you heard that since ancient times, the most ruthless emperors have been emperors?"

Gong Yan said this purely out of emotion, and only after he finished speaking did he realize that there was something wrong with what he said.

He raised his head cautiously and glanced at someone. Seeing that he seemed absent-minded, he didn't take it seriously, so he secretly felt relieved.

In fact, up to now, although everyone around him calls him "Your Majesty", Han Shao has been alone since then.

But in fact, he didn't have much awareness of being a ruler.

When he heard Gong Yan's comment at this moment, he just complained casually in his heart.

"Hou... Bah! This Ji Tianyuan is such a ruthless person!"

Then he waited quietly for Gong Yan's next words.

When Han Shao heard that the South China Sea Mermaids, at the suggestion of the Red Dragons, were preparing to go deep into the Divine Capital and plan to open the Dragon Locking Well, he suddenly felt enlightened.

Since ancient times, there has been no strategy or spies more convenient or effective than using beauties.

The mermaids in the South China Sea are ugly in male form but beautiful in female form.

Therefore, taking advantage of the palace's recruitment of many men and women, it became a natural thing for her to pretend to be a noble lady from the Nanhai County family and enter the palace.

But when Han Shao heard this, he couldn't help but sneer in mockery.

Honestly speaking, the dragons of this world completely changed Han Shao's previous perceptions of dragons as mythical creatures.

The Black Dragon Clan of the North Sea used Shibi to make a raft.

Now the South China Sea Red Dragon Clan is using women as a trick.

All they used were conspiracies and calculations that were not worthy of being shown to the public. Where was the tyranny and strength that the dragon race should have?

'These two from the south and north are truly a perfect match!'

Han Shao complained in his heart.

But this gave him a new doubt.

"From what you said before, it seems that there were two of you when you first entered the palace?"

"Who is the other one? What's his relationship with you?" Faced with Han Shao's question, Gong Yan's face obviously darkened.

"Yes, there are indeed two of them."

After nodding slightly and acknowledging Han Shao's words, Gong Yan spoke in a low voice.

"She is the legitimate daughter of the mermaid royal family."

"The original plan was for us to be in the light and in the dark, me in the dark and her in the light..."

Han Shao heard this and laughed before continuing.

"So...the plan went awry?"

Just as Han Shao said, Gong Yan looked helpless.

According to the plan made before entering the palace, the other person should be in the light while she is in the dark.

After all, her cultivation level of an eighth-level celestial being could easily arouse the vigilance of others.

But unexpectedly, after entering the palace, things went a little awry.

That is, Emperor Taikang did not like anyone else, but instead had a special liking for her.

This is how the later "Empress Yan" came into being.

Han Shao had a strange look on his face, and then he felt a little confused, and said.

"I remember you said that you are not Ji Laojiu's biological mother?"

This is also what he is most curious about.

How can one pass off a fake as genuine under the nose of Taiyi of the Ninth Realm, the supreme being on earth?
After all, the higher the cultivation level of a monk, the more difficult it is to give birth to offspring.

So that kind of thing is not something that can be done in one go.

If you walk by the river often, how can you not reveal your flaws every time?

In response to this, Gong Yan did not explain first, but took out the Mirage Dragon Pearl that Han Shao had obtained from Ji Jiu.

“It’s all there is.”

Han Shao took it and played with it in his hand.

Han Shao fell into it when he was fighting with Ji Jiu, and it was a way to make up for the missing part of his life.

His cultivation was still low at that time, so he didn't think it was a big deal.

But now that I think about it carefully, I realize that this treasure is different.

First of all, after the death of the eight realms of celestial beings in this world, the "fallen" secret realm of the Dharma Realm has always been hidden in the void, and has never condensed into a real object like this Mirage Dragon Pearl.

"Isn't this the transformation of your secret realm of law?"

Upon hearing this, Gong Yan first nodded, then shook his head.

“It is, but it’s not.”

Seeing Han Shao confused and embarrassed, Gong Yan inexplicably found it funny, and then explained.

"With it, I was able to achieve the state of heaven and man."

"That's why I said it is my secret realm, but it's not."

This may sound a bit confusing, but the logic is very clear.

In a word, this 'Mirage Dragon Pearl' named by Han Shao originally existed and was not transformed from the secret realm of heaven and man condensed by her and Gong Yan.

Then, before Han Shao could ask another question, Gong Yan answered it again.

"This treasure is actually called Dinghai Pearl, and it is the inheritance of our clan."

As for why the mirage dragon appeared inside, it was simply because of the method she practiced.

Having said that, Gong Yan emphasized again.

"Not the mermaid clan, but my clan."

"Although the mermaids share the same surname Gong, they are not my own race."

When Gong Yan said this, there was obvious hidden arrogance on his face.

Because the surname of the mermaid clan originated from the surname given by her tribe.

And her name, to be precise, should be Gonggong Yan.

The Gonggong of the ancient water god Gonggong.

"so what?"

Han Shao, who had already vaguely figured out the connection and understood why Gong Yan emphasized this, sneered.

Gong Yan said indifferently.

"So I really can't do this kind of thing of entertaining people with sex."

The bloodline is noble and the pride is in the bones.

What's more, the source of her bloodline is a water god, who, although he achieved enlightenment through water, has an extremely strong temperament.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to do such a huge event as "the sky tilts to the northwest, so the sun, moon and stars move there; the earth is not full in the southeast, so floods and dust return there" which completely changed the pattern of heaven and earth.

"So you guys played a substitute literature with Emperor Taikang?"

Han Shao secretly complained in his heart.

Suddenly, I felt a little pity for my cheap father-in-law.

But then I felt something was wrong.

Just as Gong Yan had said before, although she and Emperor Taikang were not actually his wives, she was his wife in name only.

In other words, if we were to judge from Ji Yan's perspective, wouldn't I be...

Han Shao glanced down at the beauty in his arms and subconsciously loosened his grip a little.

When the beauty in his arms gave him a questioning look, Han Shao hurriedly put on an awkward smile to hide his guilty conscience.

As if she could see Han Shao's discomfort, Gong Yan lowered her head, as if thinking for a while, and suddenly said.

"I already know your Majesty's origins."

"Please show mercy, Your Majesty, and do not blame me for the mistakes of my ancestors."

Why did Gonggong angrily hit Mount Buzhou?
This was because he fought with the emperor and was defeated.

However, Han Shao, who had never truly accepted his so-called origins, had no feelings about it.

To him, Gong Yan's request for forgiveness sounded like a dull joke and was quite embarrassing.

Instead, her next words made his heart stir.

"And...about Yin'er——"

"I hope Your Majesty will consider my kindness and not be too bothered with him."

"This is what I owe his mother..."

Han Shao smiled playfully upon hearing this.

"Oh? Do you think you have any face here?"

The beauty in his arms did not raise her head, but responded in a voice as soft as a mosquito's.

"If Your Majesty will show mercy, I...I can do anything..."

What does 'anything is OK' mean?
This is really misleading!
Han Shao had a serious expression on his face, but suddenly he became a little more curious.

"Why not, Your Majesty?"

Look at the way this question is asked. How can one answer it?
There was a moment of silence, and Han Shao felt that this topic was really awkward, so he changed the subject and asked about some follow-up matters.

For example, what happened later that led to her eventual death, leaving only a little bit of her true spirit.

This time, Gong Yan gave an answer.

"Taikang is more cautious than we thought, and more ruthless than we imagined."

Having said that, Gong Yan made an evaluation of Emperor Taikang based on his many years of observations in the palace.

"If he had not been born in the current chaotic situation, he could have even become a wise and enlightened ruler."

Wise, patient, and ruthless.

These are the standard for being a wise ruler.

Unfortunately, the only thing he lacked was the reckless determination.

Just like Ji Jiu, he should cut the roots of the problem.

Han Shao did not comment upon hearing this, but only asked one final question.

"So you failed in the end?"

Gong Yan shook his head.
