I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 588: Be understanding of your Majesty’s difficulties!

All the ladies were seated in the hall.

If the gaze is as sharp as a knife, then this place must be a mountain of knives and purgatory.

Well--

If possible, Li Jing would rather fight on the battlefield than be in such an embarrassing and dangerous situation.

"Sir, you want me to die!"

Glancing at Li Jing's sad eyes, Han Shao looked serious.

"My lady is asking you a question. Why are you looking at me?"

A true loyal minister is one who will take the blame for his master at critical moments, don’t you think?

As he spoke, Han Shao coughed lightly.

"Jing, just tell me whatever my wife asks you. Can I teach you... to lie?"

What else could Li Jing say after understanding what Han Shao meant?
If the king wants his subject to die, the subject must die.

Even if he has to be cut into pieces today, he must go through this stage for you.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be disloyal?
So Li Jing, who considered himself the most loyal and upright minister under Han Shao, looked up again with a determined look.

When introducing the two daughters, Bor and Chile, behind him, he placed all his emphasis on the situation on the grassland, and repeatedly emphasized that this was the result of his own advocacy and repeated persuasion.

In short, the king is innocent and he had no choice but to do it!

Seeing that Li Jing was so responsible, Han Shao quietly gave him a thumbs up.

His face was full of anger.

"Li Jing! What can I say? You know I'm not the kind of womanizer, but you still insist..."

As he spoke, he looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle and let out a long sigh.

"Oh, you've caused me so much trouble!"

Such a performance can be described as artificial.

Jiang Wan withdrew her gaze from Mrs. Bol and Mrs. Chile, and her calm face suddenly revealed a gentle smile.

"Such a beauty, I was moved when I saw her, but I didn't expect that my husband would be wronged..."

Han Shao quickly gave him a look that said, "As a husband, I do this all for our family."

But Gongsun Xinyi didn't buy it. She glanced at him coldly and then looked at Li Jing sneerfully.

"Li Jing, you are truly a loyal and upright minister. You deserve to be able to shield your master from the sword on the battlefield!"

Given Li Jing's current status and position, even Jiang Wan would be restrained and respectful when speaking to him.

Only Gongsun Xinyi doesn't need it.

After all, in addition to the title of master and servant, she, the mistress, also has a brotherhood with these people who had gone through life and death together in the past.

So when listening to Gongsun Xinyi's sarcastic tone, Li Jing didn't dare to have any extra thoughts. He could only smile and nod in agreement, saying "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it."

But then he couldn't laugh anymore.

Because Gongsun Xinyi then snorted coldly.

"Since you are so loyal to your master, as his mistress, if I don't reward you with something, wouldn't it make me look mean if it gets out?"

"How about this, recently there are a group of maids in the mansion who have reached the age of retirement and it is time for them to be released. You can take a few of them back later."

"It's a good opportunity to make your wife happy, too."

Hearing the words "make your wife happy", Li Jing froze, and then hurriedly said.

"Madam! No!"

"My wife knows the situation in my family... I am an old lady and I don't like new people. I am afraid that the family will be in turmoil!"

He and his wife Yin had been friends since childhood.

We have supported each other for many years and our feelings are very deep, needless to say.

But Yin had a strong personality and couldn't tolerate any sand in her eyes.

If he brought several young beauties back at once, wouldn't there be chaos?

Seeing Li Jing's frightened face, Gongsun Xinyi felt a little pleased.

Jiang Wan, who was sitting side by side with him, saw the same thing.

Although doing so was somewhat unfair to the Yin family, who could blame Li Jing for taking all the blame?

If we don't teach him a lesson today, others will follow suit and try to send people into our house, which will lead to bad habits for that person. How will we live then?
So Jiang Wan surprisingly did not oppose Gongsun Xinyi's words, but instead directly agreed with them.

"That's it."

"I've heard that Li Zhonglang's family doesn't have many people. More people will also increase popularity, which is a good thing."

Li Jing didn't expect that taking the blame would result in such a result. In panic, he looked to Han Shao, the culprit, for help.

But what can Han Shao do?
He is now in a precarious situation, like a clay Buddha crossing a river, unable to save himself.

So I could only give him a look that said "May the best of luck" in return, and then patted his shoulder to comfort him.

"Madam means well, so just accept it."

As he spoke, he quietly transmitted the message.

"Don't worry, you helped me once, and I will definitely repay you. I will take care of your wife's affairs for you!"

With him stepping forward, things will naturally be solved.

I believe that even if the Yin family is resentful and angry, they will not torture Old Li too much.

Li Jing was touched by Han Shao's righteous words, but he still felt hesitant.

"Your Majesty, the main thing is that the women in the mansion are still in their prime, and I...I really can't bring myself to say anything..."

When he met Han Shao, he was already over 50 years old.

Not to mention being a father to those young women, even being a grandfather is enough.

Han Shao's eyes widened when he heard this.

"So you like older people?"

Well, I didn’t expect you to be such a Li Jing, with such a picky taste!
Li Jing's eyebrows twitched and he quickly denied it.

"Your Majesty... that's not what I meant!"

Xiaoxiao made a joke.

Han Shao smiled.

"Okay, don't mind it. It's a graceful thing for a pear tree to overshadow a crabapple tree."

This is also a joke.

In fact, if one’s cultivation reaches the upper three realms, one’s lifespan will be long.

At least when it comes to matters between men and women, there is no such thing as a mismatch between the old and the young.

Take Han Shao for example. In his inner house, there is not only a 'hundred-year-old old woman', but also a 'ten-thousand-year-old demon'. Doesn't he enjoy eating them particularly well?

So as long as you are open-minded, age is not a problem at all.

……

Li Jing, who had taken the blame, left with a heavy heart.

Since the two mistresses, Gongsun Xinyi and Jiang Wan, have spoken so clearly, he must take the person away.

But for the sake of peace at home, it is absolutely impossible to bring it into the room.

He had already made up his mind that once the two ladies' anger had subsided, he would adopt those girls as his daughters and then find good families for them to marry off.

This can also be considered a good deed.

In addition, there is Li Jing, the scapegoat, who takes the blame for Han Shao and acts as a buffer.

The atmosphere in the hall, which was originally so depressing as if a storm was about to come, suddenly made Han Shao feel a little more relaxed.

After quietly glancing at the changes in the expressions of Yu Xuanji and the other girls, and then looking at Gongsun Xinyi and Jiang Wan, the two tigresses, Han Shao cautiously probed.

"I have been negotiating for a long time on the grassland and finally got things done. Now I am exhausted both physically and mentally. How about... we can talk about other things tomorrow?"

The girls present have been following him for a long time. They can tell what he is doing just by looking at his butt. They have seen through him for a long time.

How could I not see through his little attempt to smooth things over?
But who can blame him for being her man?

Except for Bai, who was eager to create chaos in the world, and Shangguan, who was indifferent to everything, the rest of the women more or less took his face into consideration and did not want to see him too embarrassed.

So Yu Xuanji, who was usually quiet and liked to be beautiful alone, cleared her throat and spoke first.

"Yes, the grassland is not like home. Let's take a rest. We can talk tomorrow."

Then it was Chen Wenjun.

"I think so too. It won't take too long. What do you think, sisters?"

Sure enough, the strongest fortresses all collapse from within.

The two of them sang in unison, immediately destroying the atmosphere that was originally deliberately created.

Gongsun Xinyi glared at the two traitors with some dissatisfaction.

"Just spoil him!"

As he spoke, his eyes fell on Bol and Chile, and he spoke with indignation.

"He doesn't know how happy he is!"

Even if he was tired, he probably put all his energy on them! The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Gongsun Xinyi was too lazy to talk anymore and directly turned the topic to Jiang Wan who was standing beside him.

"I don't care. You decide."

Jiang Wan looked at this group of stupid teammates and wanted to cover her head with her hands helplessly.

I can't carry it, I can't carry it at all.

Especially Gongsun Xinyi, once she gave up the task, he was left alone.

If I continue with my original plan and teach someone a lesson, wouldn't I be the only bad guy?

How could a smart person like her do such a loss-making business?

So she was so depressed that she could only force a smile.

"There's really nothing much to say. Isn't it just two more sisters?"

"My husband is very busy, how can he waste his time on the affairs of the inner house? So there is no need to wait until tomorrow, let's do it now."

As he said this, he waved his hand and asked the waitress to bring tea and serve it to Mrs. Bol and Mrs. Chile.

Seeing this, Chileshi, who didn't understand what was going on, stared blankly at the tea in front of him.

The scene that happened as soon as she entered the house really scared her.

Regardless of whether the atmosphere was depressing or not, the fact that all these beauties were competing with each other for beauty just by sitting there was enough to make them look stunning.

Add to that the powerful aura emanating from them, as well as their unique temperament and charm.

Chilewuna didn't even dare to raise her eyes to look at them any longer, because every time she looked at them, she would feel more ashamed and humble.

She was nervous and had a dry mouth, but she waved her hands quickly.

"A drink for me? Oh, thank you, I…I'm not thirsty."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the hall smiled.

Especially Mrs. Bai, who was always unreliable, burst into laughter immediately.

"so fun."

Although the other women were not as exaggerated and straightforward as her, their subtle smiles contained teasing, amusement, and of course, mockery.

Chilewuna was not stupid. She knew she had made a fool of herself, so her face turned pale and she froze, looking clumsy and at a loss.

"Ah...Asha——"

When people are in an unfavorable situation, they will always subconsciously seek help from the person closest to them.

But as soon as she called out this name, the laughter in the room suddenly stopped.

A series of ambiguous looks finally resulted in a question that made Han Shao's scalp tingle: "Hey, Shao?"

What kind of Shura field is this!
Clearly, before Chen and her friends joined the family, there were no such troubles.

Han Shao groaned inwardly.

But when he met Chilewuna's timid eyes, like a frightened deer, he softened his heart.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Although he knew that his statement would bring great jealousy to Chileuna and that her life as a newcomer would be difficult in the future, it would be truly cruel to her if he chose to remain silent at this time.

At this time, Bolbutai, who was standing side by side with Chileuna, pushed her and reminded her.

"This tea is for the two mistresses."

After saying that, he motioned for Chile Wuna to take the teacup from the waitress, and took her to walk slowly to Gongsun Xinyi and Jiang Wan.

I had thought that this process would be somewhat unfair, but it turned out to be extremely peaceful and smooth.

After just taking a sip of tea out of consideration, Jiang, who seemed as gentle as jade in front of Bolbutai, suddenly said.

"Be less careful in the future. I don't like it."

He knew the rules but didn't say them, deliberately making the simple-minded Chile look ridiculous.

What a crude trick.

Therefore, compared to the Bol family who is much stronger in all aspects, Jiang Wan actually values the silly Chi Le family more.

After all, my past simplicity can only be disguised for a while, and it is fundamentally different from the other person's innocence.

And her Shao Ge'er has always been fooled by this.

After being scolded, Borbutai's charming face turned slightly pale, and he lowered his head and looked submissive, not daring to say more.

……

Although the atmosphere during the day was not harmonious, Han Shao finally returned after a long absence.

The family dinner in the evening was quite harmonious and no one spoiled the fun.

After the family dinner, Chileuna and Bolbutai, who had each been given a small courtyard, did not separate.

Being in an unfamiliar environment, Chilewuna had long lost her original excitement and anticipation, and looked confused and lonely.

"Butai, I miss the grassland."

Bolbutai glanced at her and asked, "Do you regret it now?"

Chilewuna thought about it and shook her head.

"It's not that I regret it, I just miss my dad a little bit."

This place was even more prosperous than she had imagined. The city was tall and the buildings in the city had carved railings and jade buildings, which were far from comparable to the yurts and tents on the grassland.

But when you open the door here, you can't smell the fragrance of grass, nor see the endless vastness.

I say I don’t regret it, only because A Shao is here.

When Chileuna reached this point, she suddenly turned her head and looked at Bolbutai, saying seriously.

"Butai, I know I'm not as smart as you, but if you bully me, I will be really angry."

She is just innocent, not really stupid.

She will remember what happened today for the rest of her life.

But who can blame them for sharing the same suffering here?

Without Borbutai, her situation would be even more difficult.

"You made them laugh at me and despise me today, but what difference do you make in their eyes?"

Bolbutai was stunned for a moment, as he did not expect Chileuna to suddenly say this.

After a long time, he exhaled a breath of foul air.

"Just this once, never happen again."

What happened today was indeed a case of her being too clever for her own good and committing a stupid mistake.

There is nothing to deny.

"From now on, you and I, sisters, should stick together."

"You have won my lover's heart, and I have my beauty to please him. There will be a place for us here in the end."

Borbutai's words were frank and straightforward.

As for face and dignity, they had no longer been important since the moment she was sent to Han Shao, or when the Bor tribe was massacred and she was the only one left alive.

Chilewuna looked at her for a while, and seeing that she looked sincere, she finally said something.

"it is good."

But they all forgot that many things in this world are always thought of beautifully and planned perfectly.

But when it comes to actual implementation, there is always a huge gap.

Take their only means of competing for favor at present - sex.

It had been half a month since they entered the mansion, and they hadn't even seen someone.

……

"No...what's wrong with you guys lately?"

In the past, Gongsun Xinyi and Jiang Wan were quite dignified in some aspects and always paid attention to their table manners when eating.

But in the past half month, these two people, one in the east and one in the west, one on the left and one on the right, have perfectly demonstrated what it means to be like wolves and tigers and to be insatiable in their demands.

Gongsun Xinyi’s explanation for this is.

"Nothing, just figured it out."

"Instead of letting you think about going out to find food, it is better to let you die of overeating and solve the problem at the source."

Han Shao was speechless.

He was really wronged.

This time he traveled north and west, he really went to do serious business.

The Chile and Bol families were really just accidents!

As for Jiang Wan, she thought more simply.

She just wanted a child.

And speaking of children.

"Counting the days, Brother Kun should be here by now, right?"

……
