I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 568: Ten years of accumulation of momentum! Sweep the world again!
"Lord Yan, this seal was cast privately by your majesty. You must not show it to anyone! Otherwise, there will definitely be another incident!"

Seeing Li Jin's serious expression when he said this, Han Shao nodded to show that he understood.

It sounds ridiculous that the emperor privately cast a royal seal.

If this were to be spread out, it would not only prove to the world that Emperor Taikang was incompetent, but would also allow him to be used by people with ulterior motives.

There is no doubt that Emperor Taikang spent a huge amount of money to protect Han Shao's career this time.

At the same time, it's also a big gamble.

Betting on Han Shao's loyalty.

Otherwise, once Han Shao steals the huge imperial dragon energy in the golden seal, it will inevitably make the already precarious Dayong even worse, and even Emperor Taikang will be implicated and severely injured.

After feeling emotional for a while, Han Shao said seriously.

"Don't worry, Li Zhongchang. Once I resolve the problem of the calamity energy, I will return this seal to Your Majesty."

In fact, it is useless for Han Shao to keep this thing in his hands.

Without the blessing of the imperial edict and the recognition of the world, he could not truly use the imperial dragon energy in the royal seal.

The only precious thing is the kindness and thoughtfulness that Emperor Taikang showed him.

Hearing Han Shao's assurance, Li Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense expression gradually relaxed.

"Your Majesty means that Lord Yan doesn't need to be too anxious. The most important thing is to protect himself."

Having said that, he tentatively turned to Han Shaodao.

"Besides that, Your Majesty would like to ask Lord Yan... If I summon you to the Divine Capital to take charge of the Central Imperial Guards, what would Lord Yan think?"

In fact, as early as when Han Shao became famous, Emperor Taikang had intended to summon him to the capital.

However, due to various unexpected events, the plan ultimately failed to materialize.

Now that the old story is brought up again, the situation is completely different.

Han Shao's expression remained unchanged.

"Forget about going to the capital. The capital of the gods is a complicated place with too many entanglements. If I go there, I will definitely be bound and unable to perform."

"It would be better for me to stay in the north and respond to Your Majesty from afar..."

God is going there all the time, but not now.

Not to mention going there with my current identity.

As for the reasons Han Shao gave for his refusal, Li Jin was silent for a while, then nodded in agreement.

"Mr. Yan's words make sense. In this case, I will reply to your majesty."

When Han Shao heard this, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

"Li Zhongchang, don't you think... that I don't want to go to the capital, is this a hidden ambition, and I'm unwilling to serve Your Majesty?"

Hearing Han Shao's heart-piercing words, Li Jin was stunned at first, and then he sneered.

"Don't be ridiculous, Lord Yan. I don't know about other people, but Lord Yan is loyal and brave, and he is definitely not such a person."

After saying that, he drank the tea in front of him and said.

"Okay, everything is complete, today is over."

"Please take care, Lord Yan. I will return to the capital to report to His Majesty."

The two of them have been dealing with each other for a long time. Given their familiarity, Li Jin did not waste any time and was about to get up and leave after saying this.

Han Shao saw this and called out to him.

"Lord Yan, is there anything else?"

Han Shao said as he played with the teacup.

"Please give a message to His Majesty for me."

Having said that, Han Shao considered his words before speaking.

"Your Majesty, please do not worry about Huang Tiandao's affairs. Your Majesty just needs to stabilize the situation."

"Give me a few years, and I will recover the eight states for your majesty."

He was afraid that Emperor Taikang would try all kinds of desperate measures and take drastic actions, which would accelerate the rapid collapse of the situation.

Giving him a reassurance was not only a way to repay him for risking his life to give me the seal, but also a way to buy myself more time.

Li Jin naturally had no idea what Han Shao was thinking.

So after hearing Han Shao's words, the old eunuch's eyes turned red and his expression was moved.

"Don't worry, Lord Yan. We will definitely convey your words to you."

As he was speaking, Han Shao suddenly took out a storage bag and handed it to him.

Upon seeing this, Li Jin's face suddenly changed and he said with great dissatisfaction.

"What is Lord Yan doing? You and I are friends, and we both have a heart full of loyalty and are willing to die for Your Majesty. How can we allow these little things to sully our relationship?"

Seeing Li Jin looking humiliated, Han Shao rolled his eyes.

It’s a beautiful thought!
"These are not for you. I would like you to pass them on to Princess Zhaoyang on my behalf."

No matter whether that crazy woman Ji Yan was hiding something from him, the marriage bond between the two of them could not be severed.

Now that he knew that she needed the precious medicine, Han Shao couldn't just sit there and watch.

Li Jin, realizing that he had misunderstood, smiled awkwardly.

"Then I would like to thank Lord Yan on behalf of the princess."

After taking the brocade bag, he subconsciously took a look inside, then opened his mouth and said in shock.

"Mr. Yan, what are you doing..."

Hey!
I saw that this seemingly ordinary brocade bag was actually stuffed full. Upon closer inspection, those powerful medicines all emitted bursts of precious light and were not ordinary items.

Even though Li Jin had served the royal family for many years and had seen a lot of things, he couldn't help but be shocked by Han Shao's generosity.

"Lord Yan and Princess Di have a deep friendship..."

This is really spending all the family savings!

Li Jin was quite amused.

When saying this, Li Jin couldn't help feeling helpless.

Back then, the princess tried her best to get close to this man, but he refused her repeatedly.

But what is going on now?

Regret it?
It’s a pity that it’s too late to regret now.

"Don't worry, Lord Yan. We will definitely bring her here. But I can't guarantee whether Princess Di will accept her or not."

Having said that, Li Jin hesitated and couldn't help but comfort her.

"Mr. Yan, don't blame me for being nosy. Some marriages are missed and there is no need to dwell on them too much."

You are already married.

Given your affection for those two women, it is impossible for you to divorce your wife and marry another.

If that's the case, why bother doing all this useless work?
Han Shao couldn't help laughing when he saw Li Jin looking as if he was standing up for his own princess.

"Don't worry about that, Li Zhongchang. I am just grateful for the help that Di Ji has given me, and I want to repay her a little."

No matter what era it is, it is shameful to make public the fact of having an affair.

What's more, one of them is the princess of the current dynasty, and the other is a prince from a border area.

So even though he knew that Li Jin and Ji Yan had some secret connection, Han Shao did not reveal his relationship with Ji Yan in front of him.

It was after Li Jin left that Zhong Xinggu showed up and said with a look of pain on his face.

"My Lord...did you give too much?"

As the steward of Han Shao's mansion, he was in charge of Han Shao's inner treasury.

Some of those precious medicines were given by Emperor Taikang in the past, the rest were plundered from the Wuhuan royal court, and some were accumulated over generations from various destroyed aristocratic families.

Especially in the Wuhuan royal court, due to geographical differences, some of the precious medicines are rare and even the royal family does not have them.

In response, Han Shao waved his hand indifferently.

"You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child..."

The precious medicine was not precious, and he was really afraid that the crazy woman Ji Yan would just throw it away or leave it in the warehouse to gather dust.

He tampered with those precious medicines, so as long as the woman used them, he would have a rough idea of ​​what these precious medicines were used for.

By then, no matter what tricks she is doing behind my back, I will be mentally prepared.

Seeing his master's cunning smile, Zhonghang Gu felt a chill in his heart for a while, and then he stopped brooding over these trivial details.

Then he looked at the golden royal seal that Han Shao had casually thrown aside, revealing a hint of worry.

"Your Majesty, due to this cause and effect, is too deeply tied to the Ji family. If he rebels in the future, I'm afraid..."

Han Shao understood Zhong Xinggu's concerns.

But he acted extremely calm.

"Let's put it this way. I received your majesty's grace and favor. What does it have to do with the Ji family?"

The emperors of Dayong inherited the dragon energy of the emperor, but most of them did not live long.

However, the world is in turmoil now, and the dragon energy is shaking and declining. This is unavoidable and unstoppable. Therefore, Emperor Taikang's life span will also be greatly affected.

He can afford to wait this long.

He also had a premonition that an old friend of his would give him a huge surprise in the future.

Thinking of this, Han Shao suddenly turned his gaze towards the distant south.

"I asked you to arrange a spy in Nanhai County. Has any news come back?"

……

When the Zhen Liao army retreated northward and returned to Youzhou, it was already approaching November.

Youzhou is bitterly cold, and at this time of year it is already freezing cold.

As they marched along, the hot breath exhaled by the soldiers and horses, under the impact of the cold climate, formed into clouds of white mist.

Han Shao, who was sitting in the carriage, didn't feel too cold because of the built-in heater.

Suddenly, news came from Ye Bushou who was leading the way in front.

"Your Majesty, there is a large army blocking the road ahead."

Han Shao responded casually.

"No problem, keep going."

But not long after, a burst of hearty laughter was heard in the void.

"Lord Yan has returned triumphantly, but why didn't he even say hello?"

"This great victory will enhance the prestige of Youzhou. We must congratulate Lord Yan!"

Don’t reach out to hit the smiling person.

The army was forced to stop.

Han Shao, who was sitting in the carriage, smiled faintly.

"The governor is thoughtful."

"I have only won a few small victories. How can I justify the governor's mobilization of troops?"

Yuan Feng laughed.

"Well deserved! Well deserved!"

"Duke Yan has defeated many rebels and killed countless enemies in this battle. His military achievements are outstanding. How can this be considered a small victory?"

Said directly.

"To welcome Lord Yan's triumphant return, this governor has prepared some wine in his mansion. I hope Lord Yan will give you some face and take the time to honor us."

It’s a pity that Han Shao didn’t give him this face.

"My men are old and tired, and they are eager to return home. I am the same, so let's forget about this banquet."

Being hypocritical also has to have value.

If it would only waste time, Han Shao would not bother to do it.

As expected, Han Shao's slapping behavior made Yuan Feng's face instantly gloomy.

He came here to block the road today with only one purpose.

That is to confirm Han Shao's "injury".

But now Han Shao is still so strong and domineering, which makes him a little confused about the other party's background.

"Lord Yan is unwilling to give me even this little bit of face?"

The vast power of Jiujing Taiyi, wrapped in anger, caused the wind and clouds in the sky to change, like the wrath of heaven.

In response, Han Shao, who was sitting in the carriage without even showing his face, simply turned a blind eye.

"Open the way in front of the trap camp, but if there are any obstacles, crush them flat."

As soon as he finished speaking, more than two hundred heavily armored cavalrymen with dragon-like figures rushed out from the center of the army and rushed directly towards the army blocking the way ahead.

The iron hooves of the dragon riders were roaring like a mountain collapsing and the earth collapsing. Before they even reached them, the opposing army already had looks of fear on their faces.

"These crazy people—"

A general exclaimed and hurriedly looked towards Yuan Feng who was in front of the formation.

"State...State Governor!"

Yuan Feng's eyebrows twitched, and he was about to unleash the power of Taiyi.

But at this moment, a powerful aura suddenly emerged from the carriage opposite and locked it tightly.

"My men are eager to return home, so their actions are bound to be extreme. I hope the governor will not make mistakes."

Threat?

He actually dared to threaten me?
Yuan Feng's expression changed several times, but in the end he could only snort coldly.

"Give Way!"

There was no way. Just when he was about to test Han Shao's background regardless of the consequences, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from the direction of Yinping City.

It’s that old immortal Gongsun Ying!
Seeing the group of black-armored soldiers who guarded Liao passing by them fearlessly, all the officials of the governor's office had gloomy faces.

"Provincial Governor, what's the situation with Han?"

This is something that not only Yuan Feng is concerned about, but they are also concerned about it.

Because this involves the direction that the governor's office should take next, and also involves the actual interests of their respective families.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Feng thought carefully for a moment.

"It shouldn't be fatal, but it's definitely not as good as before."

Although he did not fully understand Han Shao's background, the strong and ominous aura of calamity still gave him some idea of ​​his situation.

Hearing Yuan Feng's words, everyone present immediately relaxed.

Some showed surprise.

"That's great! From now on, we can finally let go a little more!"

Many noble families from all over the country suffered losses in this battle, but for them, the remaining territories were a feast that was about to be eaten.

Now that guy surnamed Han has fallen into Huang Tiandao's trap, his strength is not as good as before, and he has to recuperate and suppress his calamity. He certainly doesn't have much energy to participate in the division of these fat pieces.

How could they not be happy?
Looking at the greedy faces of these guys, Yuan Feng sneered in his heart.

'You are celebrating too early.'

As long as Han Shao has no intention of going south, he will definitely use all of Yuan's resources to go north.

At that time, he will not only take those cities, but also the assets of these people!
Only in this way can we concentrate our strength and completely connect Younan and Zhuozhou, thus laying the foundation for conquering the world.

……

Han Shao naturally didn't bother to care about the plots of Yuan Feng and the Younan nobles.

So far, the battle that he had spent several months fighting has perfectly achieved its original strategic goal.

One is for demonstration, the other is to hide one's strength.

The series of great victories attracted the attention and awe of the world.

I guess that old man Yuan Feng won't dare to extend his claws into his territory in the short term.

As for hiding his edge, it is because of his aura of misfortune, which, in the eyes of outsiders, has already locked the upper limit.

That way, there is no threat.

The combination of the two gave him the confidence and environment to watch the changes in the world situation.

Everything is just right.

Next, he only needs to manage Youbei and the vast Youbei grassland with peace of mind, accumulate strength for ten years, and wait for the right time to come, just like a tiger out of the cage, crushing everything and sweeping across the world!

Thinking of this, Han Shao couldn't help but smile happily.

But before his smile could last long, he started to have a headache.

"Sir, we are home."

The curtains were opened, and the cold wind blew across the face.

Looking at those stunning figures standing in the cold wind, Han Shao's mouth twitched and a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes.

"If the gods think that the baby is really pregnant..."

Han Shao couldn't help but feel a little numb at the thought of that crazy woman coming to his door pregnant one day in the future.

"Husband—"

"Lang Jun!"

Not seeing each other for one day is like three autumns.

The past few months have already felt like a year.

Han Shao had a premonition that tonight there would be another life-and-death battle.

"Hey, why marry so many? It's just a waste of time—"
