I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 522: Rebuilding the Body and Resurrecting from the Dead

If the world can be likened to a gambling game.

The chips staked by every gambler sitting at the gambling table are his life and property.

At this time, any unnecessary movements will be seen as flaws by your opponents, who will take advantage of them and make you lose everything in one go!
Many of the labels on Emperor Taikang are not bad.

But there is one thing that is fatal.

He will hesitate and wander.

Just like when you should be sprinting, if you suddenly brake, you will lose your balance and fall to the ground.

Or you will hesitate and wander, and end up going down the wrong path.

This is what happened to Ji Jiu.

The annihilation of the 100,000 imperial guards was even more obvious this time.

He could show kindness to Gongye Jin, the defeated general, and the 500 remaining soldiers.

Can also apply Thunderfury.

But he could not allow certain people to kill the 500 remaining soldiers at Xuanwu Gate as he did now. After he issued an imperial decree to have Gongye Jin thrown into the Heavenly Prison, he disappeared into the Nan Palace and remained silent.

The ruler is a role model for the world!

Whenever something big happens, everyone pays attention!

Every action and every word will be magnified infinitely.

His current silence will only make people think he is weak and see the weakness of Dayong, thus making those with ambitions more ambitious.

Those with ulterior motives will become more unscrupulous!

If we continue like this, the situation will only get worse and worse and become increasingly out of control.

It’s a pity that Han Shao is not the kind of loyal and upright minister who is willing to face the majesty of heaven. He is just a traitor who parades around in public under the guise of being a loyal and good minister of Dayong.

Han Shao was not capable of speaking frankly and risking his life to make suggestions, nor was he too lazy to do so.

After all, to put it bluntly, the more corrupt and dilapidated Dayong is, the more beneficial it is to people like him.

If he is really at the peak of his career, is it possible that he will one day be summoned by the emperor and kneel before him?
But he would not just sit back and watch the situation deteriorate rapidly.

Because he still needs time.

What Han Shao should consider is how to grasp the timing of Dayong's decline and eventual collapse to just the right degree.

"It seems I have to give Your Majesty... a little reminder."

Gong Yan, who was pushed away from his arms, looked a little surprised, but there was no extra emotion between his brows in response to the "Your Majesty" Han Shao mentioned.

Some are just indifferent like a stranger.

"Isn't it said that a husband and wife are bound by love for a hundred days? What a heartless woman..."

Gong Yan was aware of Han Shao's inner criticism, but did not defend himself.

When she entered the palace, she always regarded it as a errand, just an additional burden of identity.

To her, Emperor Taikang was just a tool to achieve her own goals.

On the contrary, the mermaid princess who entered the palace with her, perhaps when she first started to have intercourse with that man on her behalf, was still thinking of sacrificing herself for the greater good and enduring humiliation.

But later Gong Yan could see that she was moved.

Otherwise, she would not have been willing to give birth to Yin'er for that man, and she would not have felt any resentment or hatred when that man did that cruel thing in the end.

In the past, Gong Yan didn’t understand, nor did he want to understand, this change in a girl’s mentality.

"But now..."

Such a thought emerged in Gong Yan's mind, and the moment he raised his eyes and saw the man, he quickly cut it off.

"What is your Majesty going to do?"

Han Shao smiled faintly when he heard this.

"Let Zhao Mu and the others prepare. I want to be a true Yong Zhongliang in the end."

People's ideas will always change as the situation changes.

At first, he really just wanted to go south to rob some people... Bah! He wanted to provide some people with some shelter in the troubled times.

But seeing that Emperor Taikang had been silent since the disastrous defeat at the Jishui River, Han Shao decided to help him make some noise.

Perhaps he felt that the word "loyal" in Han Shao's mouth was a bit incongruous.

There was a hint of strangeness and confusion in Gong Yan's eyes.

Han Shao was immediately embarrassed and annoyed when he saw this.

"The whole world is in gloom now. Everyone is hiding in the dark to watch His Majesty's joke and guess his attitude!"

"At this time, I am the only one who stood up and used the sword in my hand to speak for him! Speak for him! Defend him!"

"Let the world know that His Majesty is not just himself. He also has me! And there are hundreds of thousands of Youzhou men under my command who are willing to shed blood for him!"

"If I am not a loyal and righteous person, who dares to call himself a loyal and righteous person?"

Having said that, this is indeed the truth.

If Gong Yan didn't know a lot about the person in front of him, he would have been fooled.

Just looking at Han Shao's angry and retorting look, she subconsciously stepped forward and gently stroked his chest to help him calm down and comfort him.

After doing this, not only Han Shao was stunned, but she was also stunned.

"I didn't expect you to be so virtuous..."

Hearing Han Shao's funny remark, Gong Yan withdrew his hand in panic.

She lowered her head as if to hide her embarrassment, and then said with some worry.

"Isn't it a bit too hasty for Your Majesty to attack Huang Tiandao now?"

In troubled times, only those with soldiers and generals can control the world.

Otherwise, a "lone commander" no matter how powerful his cultivation is, can only watch the changes in the world situation from the sidelines.

The reason is also very simple.

What if you occupy the royal city and the capital of God by yourself?

If there is no one to implement your will, your authority cannot be extended, let alone rule.

In addition, what made Gong Yan quite worried was the three elders of Huangtian, headed by the great sage Zhang Xian.

"I have heard of the three brothers of the Zhang family of Huang Tian Dao before I was alive. They achieved enlightenment hundreds of years earlier than I did. Their profound background and accumulation are incomparable to ordinary celestial beings."

"What's more, now that I have asked Taiyi..."

With three Taiyi in one family, such strength, backed by the three holy places, is certainly not the best in the world, but it is also one of the few in the world.

Han Shao can rival Taiyi with his cultivation level of an eighth-level celestial being, but what if there are three Taiyi?
Even if Han Shaozhen is so unreasonable, this matter still has great risks.

If you succeed, you will only get a nice-sounding title.

But if there is even the slightest mistake during this process, everything will be over.

Don't forget that although Huang Tiandao's "Tao" seems to be somewhat unorthodox and inconsistent with the Taoist scriptures and traditions of secluded practice, it ultimately belongs to the Taoist lineage.

Who knows if they are the vanguards thrown out by the old monster at the Golden Peak of Baiyujing to explore the way?
Compared to Gong Yan's slightly frowned brows, Han Shao smiled.

But he didn't explain too much to Gong Yan, just said one sentence.

"Lonely Heart knows it."

Han Shao was indeed not confident enough to deal with the three ninth-level Taiyi.

But the three Zhang Xian brothers were not among them.

He raised his head and glanced at the endless starry sky beyond the Ninth Heaven, among which the three auxiliary stars under the main star were shining brightly.

It forms a sharp contrast with the surrounding dim and silent stars in the sky.

But if Han Shao wanted to, he could return the three auxiliary emperor stars to silence again...

As for the Taoist Golden Peak?

Han Shao smiled and didn't take it to heart.

At their level, they always go out first. Although they are not sure to lose, they will definitely lose the initiative. The danger and cruelty of the struggle for the orthodoxy is no less than the struggle for the world.

Someone who can stand tall in the world as a holy land would not be so unwise.

The only thing that made Han Shao quite concerned about Gong Yan at the moment was the soldiers under his command.

People die in war.

There is no need to say much about the cruelty of the battlefield.

But Han Shao could only ignore it.

Because Li Jing had mentioned to him more than once that after completely defeating the Wuhuan tribe, which had been a century-old threat to everyone, many soldiers began to become lazy.

This is human nature, and Han Shao can understand it.

Only in the most ferocious wilderness can tigers and wolves sharpen their sharpest claws and fangs. Once there is no external threat, it is only normal for them to gradually become mediocre.

This is the case with many powerful armies in neighboring history.

If you look closely, isn't this also the case with the Divine Capital Guards that once dominated the world in this world?
'The theory of the five large tiled houses is truly timeless...'

Han Shao sighed in his heart.

It is precisely because of this that he now urgently needs to find a new prey for these tigers and wolves that are about to gradually "degenerate".

Prey that can pose some threat to them.

And under the current situation, is there anything more suitable than the Huang Tiandao Army, which has just shattered the myth of the invincibility of the Divine Capital Forbidden Army?
"A sword is sharpened by its own sharpening..."

Hearing Han Shao's sigh, Gong Yan was slightly distracted.

When he noticed the unparalleled confidence revealed in Han Shao's words and expression, his eyes, which had never shown any waves in his life, actually showed some ripples for the first time.

As a celestial being in the eighth realm, she has seen quite a few people.

For example, the Emperor Taikang, with whom she had a nominal marriage, seemed to be the supreme ruler on earth and seemed dignified and solemn, but upon closer inspection, one could always detect a lingering gloom and sorrow.

Perhaps many women in this world would be shaken by this, but she would not.

Perhaps influenced by the rebellious nature of Gonggong, she likes the kind of positive, indomitable and unyielding spirit.

During those days in the palace, she would sometimes watch coldly as Emperor Taikang and the mermaid princess were intimate, and she would wonder.

"If this person can achieve something, what would it matter if I really became his 'Concubine Yan'?"

Cooperation with the South China Sea Dragon Clan is only based on the pursuit of interests.

It doesn't have to be his dragon clan.

If necessary, it is not impossible to change partners.

But Emperor Taikang ultimately disappointed her. No matter how majestic he appeared, he could not hide his inner weakness.

After all, if even those in a dominant position don’t have the courage and confidence to give it a try, how can others choose to bet on it?

But the man in front of him is different, there is light in his eyes!
No matter whether this light is ambition that cannot be concealed or reckless madness, it always makes people choose to obey and follow.

Even if it means going through fire and water.

This can be seen from the fact that he won the hearts and minds of hundreds of thousands of Zhen Liao troops in a very short period of time.

In this way, in Gong Yan's eyes, even if there is no magnificent heavenly palace that she saw with her own eyes, such a person can still be called a great man of the time!
Of course, all of this is only something Gong Yan would consider during his lifetime.

Right now she was concerned with only one thing.

That is--

When Han Shao becomes the emperor in the future and masters the eternal authority over heaven and earth, will he be able to reshape her body and bring her back to life?

Otherwise, just like the two of them cuddling together just now, apart from the strange feeling psychologically, she herself did not feel anything.

Think about it, what a pity——

……

The shocking scene of the Huang Tian bandits hiding in the city rushing into the void and fighting with the strong men of the Zhen Liao army was seen by everyone.

If this is not conclusive evidence, then we are expecting everyone to be blind.

All the people in power in Qingcheng looked as pale as death in an instant.

Dead!
No one can save them, not even the governor himself!

Not only will they die, but their clansmen, relatives, and even the family businesses passed down from their ancestors will also be lost in one day!
He witnessed with his own eyes those black-armored cavalrymen rushing into the city like wolves and tigers, not trampling on the common people, but breaking down the doors of their own homes, which they regarded as their lifelong glory and foundation, and slaughtering countless people.

Those who were imprisoned in Qingcheng were already filled with regret.

If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have gotten involved in this mess!
Perhaps they were touched by the screams of their tribesmen before their death. At this moment, they no longer cared about anything else. With red eyes, they begged for mercy to the black-armored cavalry.

"Don't kill! Please...please don't kill!"

The look in those eyes beneath the black mask was somewhat playful.

You see, as long as your knife is sharp enough.

All the pride of the aristocracy and the lofty family background are nothing but empty talk.

At this moment, even the common people hiding behind the doors on both sides of the long street saw this scene and suddenly realized that these people were not much different from ants and grass like themselves.

They will just as well bow down and beg for mercy.

Seeing that these man-eating tigers and wolves were unmoved by their pleas for mercy, they suddenly felt a resentment towards the person who had dragged them into the water.

If it weren’t for that person!
They can still remain noble from generation to generation, trample on the ants at will and drive them like cattle and horses.

If it weren’t for that person!
How could they have experienced the current tragedy?

With resentment in their hearts, and hearing the increasingly faint cries of their tribesmen, they became anxious and someone suddenly stood up and shouted loudly.

"If the general can order an end to the killing, the guilty officials are willing to report it!"

If you offend a Ninth Realm Taiyi, you might die.

But if they don't do something, their entire family will die!
It's either death or life, so take a chance. This is human nature.

As soon as he said this, a murderous intent suddenly came over him.

The man who spoke felt cold all over, with a look of horror on his face, he hurriedly spoke to Li Jing who was in the lead.

"Li Zhonglang! Protect me! They want to kill people--"

Before the remaining word "口" came out, the sound stopped abruptly.

After looking down at the pair of eyes that were dead because of the annihilation of their souls, Li Jing, who was sitting high on his horse, raised his head and looked into the void.

In fact, the cultivation level of the person who came was not very high, at least not in front of him, a True Immortal of the Seventh Realm.

But he just watched helplessly as those people in power in Qingcheng died one by one in front of him.

Only the sixth-level great men from the Wang and Dou families have powerful spirits and are not so easy to kill.

But in the end, their cultivation had been sealed. Even if their spirits were powerful, they were just rootless water.

After a hard struggle, the Wang family ancestor's eyes were filled with shock and confusion.

"You...you are in the same group!"

Alas, when people get old, they even forget that there is a saying in this world that officials protect each other.

What? You were an official before?

Oh, sorry, now you are all thieves, thieves who are in collusion with Huang Tian’s bandits.

Since he is a thief, he naturally cannot enjoy this treatment.

Li Jing pressed the handle of the Zhen Liao sword at his side, sighed, and spoke to the void.

"The people of this city have been involved with Huang Tiandao and are guilty of this."

"To atone for their sins, I intend to move them to the north to be punished. What do you think of this?"

The voice in the void was silent for a while, and then even spoke with a hint of gratitude.

"Since you are guilty, you should be punished!"

"This is a great idea! The governor's office will fully cooperate!"
