I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 576: Children and In-laws on the Western Expedition

Han Fengxian, who had found it difficult to move his emotions since the entire village was massacred, didn't know how to describe his current state.

The little guy who was handed to me by my father has grown up to this size in the blink of an eye.

It's amazing!

Almost instinctively, he walked slowly forward, then squatted down and gently stroked the pink little face with his rough palm.

"As expected of my father's offspring, it is really good-looking."

But what’s with this little guy’s eyes?

Does he dislike me as his brother?
Han Fengxian withdrew his hand in panic, then looked for help at Li Shentong who was following closely behind him.

Li Shentong was speechless upon seeing this.

She pushed him from behind, indicating that he should pay his respects to the Princess Wuhuan first.

Han Fengxian finally reacted and turned to bow to Wuhuan Heya.

"My son has met my mother."

He had stayed in the palace for some time, and Karasuma and Miyabi treated him very well.

He was also deeply grateful.

It's been ten years since we last met, and we feel a little strange after all.

However, after taking a look at him, Karasuma Heya became quite excited.

"Fengxian, you're already this big."

The teenager back then has grown into such a tall and strong man now, which is really touching.

When Han Fengxian heard this, his stern face, which rarely changed, showed a rare hint of shame.

"I am unfilial for not being able to stay with you all the time, mother. Please punish me!"

It would have been better if he hadn't said this, but once he did, Karasuma and Ya suddenly lost their composure.

"As long as Fengxian can think of my mother, how can my mother blame me? Come on, get up quickly!"

The loving mother and filial son made Han Kun, who was left out, very dissatisfied.

But he disguised himself very well, smiled brightly, and happily pulled Han Fengxian over and said.

"Brother, did father ask you to pick me up?"

Asking knowingly.

So after asking the question, he didn't give Han Fengxian any chance to reply.

"By the way, the teacher said that he missed you very much after not seeing you for many years. Come on, I'll take you to see the teacher!"

Just like that, Han Fengxian, who had not yet reacted, was dragged towards the Buddhist temple.

Li Shentong and other Yulin guards who were left behind after entering the palace looked at each other and stayed where they were in embarrassment.

Seeing this, Karasuma and Masaru, who were also left behind, smiled apologetically.

"Ping An is naughty and has neglected you all..."

Upon hearing this, Li Shentong and other Yulin guards hurriedly spoke.

"Madam, you are too kind. Young Master is a straightforward person and I don't deserve your disrespect."

Seeing the fear-stricken looks on Li Shentong and others' faces, Wu Wan He Ya felt a little relieved.

In a sense, the attitude of Li Shentong and others towards his mother and son is the same as Han Shao's attitude.

At least for now, the situation is not as bad as I had worried before.

Just as he was about to ask the palace maid to make arrangements, a report suddenly came from outside the palace.

"Madam, Lü Zhonglang and others are outside the palace asking to see the envoys."

……

"Lü Yan, the General of the Guards of Wuhuan, greets the envoy and wishes you a happy life."

Outside the palace, Lu Yan, the Chen family's ancestor, and a group of civil and military officials bowed respectfully.

Li Shentong, who had previously taken over the scepter from Han Fengxian, couldn't help feeling a bit smug when he saw this. He cleared his throat and replied.

"I am alone and at peace."

After replying a word on behalf of his uncle, Li Shentong suppressed his boastful attitude and hurried forward to help everyone up.

"Elders, please stand up quickly."

There was no way. Even if he could ignore Chen, Cao Wu and others, he didn't dare to act presumptuously in front of Lu Yan.

Li Jing and Zhao Mu could make fun of the title of 'armored general', but he, as a junior, did not dare to do so.

Otherwise, his father Li Jing would skin him alive.

……

"That boy of yours is a well-behaved one."

Withdrawing his mind from Dragon City, Han Shao smiled at Li Jing beside him.

Li Jing smiled helplessly.

"Your Majesty, I am ashamed of your praise."

Knowing son Moruo father.

As his father, how could he not know what kind of person his son is?
How can she deserve the word 'well-behaved'?
Han Shao criticized this.

"You are just too harsh on the child. I think the magical power is very good, much better than that kid Fengxian."

His fake son has a cold face all day long, as if everyone owes him eight million.

Han Shao had already lost count of how many times he had counselled her over the years, but to no avail.

So when he said this, Han Shao's tone was quite helpless.

"If he continues like this, I don't know which daughter will be able to stand him..."

Li Jing's heart moved when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, are you planning to arrange a marriage for Master Fengxian?"

Han Shao raised his eyes and glanced at him.

In front of his trusted aide, he rarely needed to hide too much, so he just nodded slightly and spoke.

"As we get older, these things will eventually have to be put on the agenda."

Parents plan long-term for their children.

Although Han Fengxian is not his biological son, since he calls him father, as a father, he has the responsibility to plan and arrange these major events in his life.

Upon hearing this, Li Jing agreed with Han Shao's words.

Mr. Fengxian is now about twenty-two years old, and it is indeed time for him to get married.

"Your Majesty has compassion on Master Fengxian, and it is truly a blessing for Master Fengxian."

After saying such nonsense, Li Jing kept silent.

But Han Shao did not let him go.

"As an uncle, do you have any good girls to recommend to Fengxian? If they are suitable, can you ask him to go and see them?"

Hearing this, Li Jing's face turned bitter.

With that young man's talent and potential, it shouldn't be difficult for him to find a good girl.

But the bad thing is his identity, the king's fake son.

My status is too low to be hers.

When one's status is high, one will inevitably have many concerns.

What's more, this matter is the king's family affair. With his cautiousness and rigidity, how dare he make any comment?
Seeing Li Jing's embarrassed expression, how could Han Shao not know that this guy's old problem had come back again?

He laughed helplessly in his heart, Han Shao didn't catch him after all.

"Forget it, let's take a look."

"Fengxian has a strange personality. He would probably...well, we can't harm a girl——"

If he were to arrange a marriage, I'm sure no family would dare to refuse.

But if you put yourself in his shoes, if he were a woman, facing that cold face all day long, he would probably become depressed after a while.

Seeing Han Shao looking like he had a headache, Li Jing felt quite emotional.

Unlike other lords in this world, the benevolence of our lord is engraved in his bones.

After thinking about it, he still comforted her gently.

"I think Your Majesty doesn't need to worry too much."

"Master Fengxian is a man of extraordinary talent and a handsome man. Apart from his somewhat cold temper, he is a great man of the time."

"As long as the women in this world are not blind, they will definitely find someone they like. It's just that fate has not arrived yet..."

Han Shao heard this and thought that what he said made sense. Everyone has their own preferences.

Maybe some women like this one?

After all, there is a reason why the expressionless boss in the female channel next door is so popular.

Thinking of this, Han Shao felt a little relieved.

But then he changed the subject and asked.

"By the way, where is Shentong? Speaking of which, Shentong is a few years older than Fengxian. Do you have a girl in mind?"

Speaking of this, Li Jing, who was just trying to comfort Han Shao, suddenly lost his expression.

"Yes."

He is having a headache about this.

Perhaps it was just as he said, it was fate. Somehow, the boy from his family fell in love with the daughter of a minor clerk.

No amount of persuasion is in use.

It's not that he despised the other party's humble background, but he was worried that he, a leader of the military officials, would try to get married to a civil official.

What is this?

How should the warriors below view him?
Therefore, this matter has been delayed until the Madam and Master Kun are brought back from the grassland.

When Han Shao heard this, he immediately showed an interested look.

"Tell me the details, I will help you with some advice."

Hearing this, Li Jing smiled bitterly.

He just didn't believe that with the Six Gates' omnipresence, Lord Han Shao wouldn't be unaware of what was happening in his family.

But since Han Shao had already asked, he naturally didn't dare to hide it.

Han Shao listened to the detailed narration with great interest, then looked at Li Jing with a playful look and smiled.

"I didn't expect that my nephew is such a romantic man."

Li Shentong seemed reckless and arrogant when he was young, but how could Han Shao not know that the boy was smart!
How could such a shrewd guy not know that a powerful in-law would help his future?

But even so, he still chose the daughter of the minor official.

Apart from the saying 'even a hero can be tempted by beauty', Han Shao really couldn't think of any other explanation.

However, this was a difficult matter for Li Jing. If he was not careful, it would affect the relationship between father and son. But for Han Shao, it was a piece of cake.

"How about this, I'll ask Wanniang to adopt the girl from the minor official's family as her adopted daughter."

"Once things are settled, I, as their uncle, will personally officiate at their wedding."

In this way, not only the problem of the girl's low status was solved.

It can also shut up the military officials.

In addition, he and Li Jing became in-laws.

With this marriage relationship, Han Shao's control over the Wu Chen faction will certainly be tighter.

It can be said that it kills several birds with one stone.

Li Jing was stunned for a while when he heard Han Shao's arrangement.

After he realized what was happening, he immediately kowtowed deeply to Han Shao.

"Your Majesty, I have shown you great kindness. I will never be able to repay you unless I sacrifice my life!"

Although Han Shao had planned this matter, even this topic was not a sudden inspiration, but the result of careful consideration.

But this is a great blessing for Li Jing.

How could Li Jing not be moved to tears when he saw the Emperor was so devoted to showing kindness to him and his Li family?

Seeing this, Han Shao stepped forward and helped him up.

"You, you are always so distant with me."

"We have known each other since we were little. When you entrusted your wife and children to me, I have already regarded you as my brother. In the future, you don't have to keep these troubles in your heart. Just tell me directly."

"Can I still let you suffer?"

As he spoke, Han Shao patted him on the shoulder, quite happily.

"Okay, it's settled!"

"In the future, you and I will be considered in-laws, and it will all be clear now!"

After just a few words, even a calm person like Li Jing couldn't help but feel overwhelmed.

But Li Jing was cautious after all.

After carefully thinking about Han Shao's words, he suddenly became more sober.

After all, isn't the phrase 'don't keep it in your heart' also a warning?
Li Jing hurriedly thanked the emperor again, and secretly warned himself, "I should be more careful in the future, and never be arrogant or complacent!"

Han Shao, who saw all the changes in Li Jing's expression, couldn't help but laugh or cry when he saw this.

This guy lives like this all day long. Isn't he tired of living?
But that’s fine too.

Being close yet restrained is the only way to maintain a long-lasting relationship.

After the private matter was discussed and the goal was achieved, Han Shao did not waste any more words on this aspect.

He turned his gaze to the map behind him.

The map, which was carefully made by the Mohist school and incorporated a formation, not only showed the entire northern grassland of Dayong in great detail, but even the large and small tribes were marked.

However, as time goes by, the various colors representing large and small tribes on the map are becoming fewer and fewer.

At least in Bing, Jin, Yong and other states, as well as most of the northern grasslands of Liangzhou, the symbols of the Wushu tribe are almost uniformly visible.

"That Taiji kid is really something. He didn't disappoint me."

Hearing Han Shao's chuckle and praise, Li Jing became a little worried.

"Your Majesty, will this... bring harm to you?"

At the beginning, Han Shao asked Taiji to lead the Guiyi Nuer Army and drive Wuzhu's tribe westward.

Even Li Jing had not expected that ten years had passed so quickly and that the seemingly insignificant force back then could actually create such a great situation.

The Northern Grassland, which covers several states, is more than twice as large as the Youbei Grassland controlled by the Wuhuan tribe, at least in terms of territory.

Such a powerful force, if it backfires, it will definitely cause a huge trouble.

Even if they were afraid of Han Shao, their former master, and did not dare to return to their homeland, but chose to go south to invade Bing, Jin, Yong, Liang and other states, they would inevitably cause a terrible catastrophe.

"Don't worry, since I dare to let them out, how could I let them escape from control?"

Facing Li Jing's worry, Han Shao was not worried at all.

If you let a dog out to bite someone, why would you not put a leash on it?

"Taiji is a smart man, he won't be so stupid. What I can give him, I can naturally take back."

This can be seen from the fact that he had kept the chief of the Wushu tribe alive and had only acted in the name of the Wushu tribe from beginning to end.

Therefore, the only thing Han Shao has to do now is to give him enough trust.

As he said this, Han Shao suddenly became interested and turned to Li Jing.

"Come on, let's go take a look and see how that kid is doing lately."

Since they parted in Longcheng, Han Shao and Taiji had been paying attention to each other and would occasionally send down their spiritual thoughts to keep in touch.

But as for meeting each other, it's true that I've never met him even once.

Li Jing was a little worried about this.

"Your Majesty, a gentleman does not stand on a dangerous wall. How about I go there?"

Although he knew that Han Shao was possessed by the calamity intentionally, he also knew that Han Shao's strength was enough to rival Taiyi.

But the grassland is vast and the situation is unclear, so there may be some immortal creatures hiding in it. If an accident really happens, it will be disastrous.

Han Shao laughed at this.

"Don't worry, the world is so big, there is no place I can't go. There are no taboos!"

In fact, Han Shao was just bragging.

At least he would not easily set foot in Wuya Mountain, Jinding Peak and Xiaoling Mountain unless he was completely sure.

Because he had a hunch that those three old monsters might have already opened the three flowers on their heads. Even if they were not fully opened, there was still a world of difference between them and the Taiyi realm.

Apart from those three old monsters, Han Shao, who had completed his transformation ten years ago, really has no taboos.

Um, okay, I almost forgot.

The capital of God is also considered half.
