I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 589 The Young Generation, Desire for Merit
The Yulin guards who came to the north to welcome Han Kun and his mother are indeed coming back.

In fact, given the speed of the Yulin Guards, it wouldn't take that long.

However, on the way back south, Han Kun, the conqueror of the grassland and the son of Duke Yan of Dayong, had not yet returned home when his father assigned him a task of neither importance.

That is to comfort the grassland tribes along the way.

They kept stopping and starting, and even though Han Fengxian and Li Shentong deliberately shortened the journey, they still couldn't speed up.

"The journey was difficult, and my lady and young master were tired."

During the army's rest break along the way, Li Shentong personally brought water and food to Wuhuan Heya and Han Kun, saying so with a bit of apology and shame.

"When we return south, Shentong will apologize to Madam and Young Master."

Karasuma and Miyabi didn't feel that they were burdened at all.

She has some cultivation skills, and they are not low. She is not a frail and weak ordinary lady.

What does this little bit of hardship on the road matter?
In fact, she was even a little curious about it.

After all, in her past life, whether it was the identity of Princess Wuhuan or the goddess of the holy mountain, it was difficult for her to truly feel the scenery and features of this human world.

The journey during this period of time made her feel that the world was truly alive.

Unique color.

So in response to Li Shentong's apology, she just shook her head and chuckled.

"Shentong, you worry too much. You and the other soldiers have been really hardworking in protecting us mother and son all the way. How can you talk about whether you should apologize or not?"

Over the years, Karasuma and Masayuki would intentionally or unintentionally inquire about things happening in the south.

For example, this Li Shentong was said to be quite favored by her husband, who even allowed him to call him 'uncle'.

Because of his love for him, Karasuma Heya couldn't help but speak to him with a bit more familiarity as an elder.

Li Shentong could naturally feel this closeness.

Although he seems to be bold and reckless, he is actually just like his father and knows his limits.

While being courteous to this 'aunt' on weekdays, he also deliberately maintained a distance from her.

Han Kun, who was born with a sensitive mind, had already noticed this.

For this reason, he complained to Wuhuan and Ya more than once, "This guy doesn't know how to be kind, why should I care about him?"

Although he is precocious, Han Kun's thoughts and likes and dislikes at this age are still simple and straightforward.

Good and bad, black and white, are clearly distinguished in his eyes.

So when facing Li Shentong's apology, he rolled his eyes and complained in his heart.

"What a hypocrite!"

He had had enough of the continuous traveling, the meetings with the tribal leaders, and the pretense of representing his father.

The original excitement of the journey has long disappeared without a trace, and what remains is only boredom and boredom.

The only person who made him feel somewhat interesting was his brother Fengxian who had a sullen face all day long.

It’s interesting to talk about.

The colder Han Fengxian was, the more Han Kun liked to tease him.

Especially when he instigated the young waitress to harass him, seeing his cold and dissatisfied expression but his red ears, Han Kun would always jump out at the right time and laugh at him.

Then he looked at his brother's blushing face, but felt helpless and complacent as he watched him helplessly.

After several attempts, Han Kun finally determined that his brother should be trustworthy.

The fate between the two may have been formed when they were still in their infancy.

As for what that bald teacher said, that he was a natural-born Buddhist, and Shenxiu, or Han Fengxian, was his Dharma protector, Han Kun didn't believe it at all.

After all, those Buddhist scriptures gave him a headache when he read them. How could he be a Buddhist at all?

From this, we can infer that what kind of Dharma protector is his brother Han Fengxian?

But I don’t know why, when mentioning this, Han Kun couldn’t help but think of the quiet and peaceful Buddhist temple in the palace, and then thought of Fahai’s bald head.

"I suddenly miss him. I don't know how I will explain to him why he taught me this way..."

Han Kun felt inexplicably sad yet a little funny. An idea came to his mind and he immediately put it out.

'Damn it, I must be sick!'

It was obvious that he used to hate that bald guy's nagging the most, and he felt annoyed whenever he saw that old face.

In order to prevent himself from falling into some kind of thoughts that were difficult to justify, and also to stop paying attention to that "hypocritical villain" Li Shentong, Han Kun pulled Han Fengxian over and spoke innocently.

"Let's go! I want to go out for a horse ride. Brother, come with me for a ride!"

Han Fengxian, who had not known how to refuse this younger brother since they first met, forced himself into a gentle smile without even thinking.

"it is good."

Han Kun felt chills.

"Okay, brother, stop laughing. You look ugly when you laugh."

Han Fengxian pulled the corner of his mouth, then shook his head helplessly.

In fact, he can laugh.

Don't forget, when he was still called Shenxiu in the past, he would often laugh in front of Fahai.

Now you just need to follow your heart.

……

At his age, Han Kun has endless energy.

Han Fengxian, who was originally worried that he would not be able to endure the hardships along the way, thought back to himself when he was about the same age, and found that his memories of the past had long been blurred.

The only traces left seem to be endless blood and endless suffering.

The teacher once asked himself to let go and become a monk since he had no home.

But my father made me pick up the knife and ended that suffocating nightmare with my own hands.

On that day, when his father handed the little baby in the cradle to him.

He knew that he had a home again.

So what reason did he have not to give everything for this family?

Just as Han Fengxian was distracted, a small face suddenly came closer.

"Brother, what are you thinking about?"

After saying this, he didn't wait for Han Fengxian to answer.

Han Kun suddenly understood.

"Brother, you are thinking about women!"

As he said this, he ignored the throbbing veins on Han Fengxian's forehead and continued to talk to himself.

"That's right. Brother, you are full of vigor and vitality at this age. It's normal for you to want a woman. When you see father later, I will tell him to help you find a woman--"

Hearing the vicious words coming out of this little mouth, Han Fengxian finally couldn't help it and his face turned black.

"Who taught you all this?"

really!

Father should have listened to him and brought A-di back home earlier!
In that wild and dirty place called the grassland, all those good people would learn such a mess!

Thinking of this, Han Fengxian's face darkened and his murderous intent was revealed.

He had already decided that after returning, he would send people to the royal court to investigate. He wanted to see who was so bold as to use such dirty means to defile the young prince of the State of Yan!

Seeing that Han Fengxian was really angry, Han Kun shrank his head and finally became a little scared.

But he soon discovered that his brother's anger and murderous intent were not directed at him.

So he plucked up his courage and tried it carefully with a naive attitude.

"Ah? No one taught me—"

Before he finished speaking, Han Fengxian spoke arbitrarily.

"Impossible! My brother has a pure and kind character, how could he possibly understand these things?"

"There must be some people with evil intentions who want to kill my brother!"

Han Kun was a little confused.

"Ah, is that so? I thought he was born a bad guy..."

But this is not important.

Han Kun blinked, then suddenly changed the subject and asked.

"That's right, brother."

"You've been rushing all this way, but what happened at home?"

This was what Han Kun was really concerned about, and it was also the reason why he called Han Fengxian out alone under the pretext of riding a horse to take a walk. Facing Han Kun's sudden change of subject and question, Han Fengxian was stunned by the anger on his face, and then he narrowed his eyes and looked at Han Kun.

"Ping An, who asked you to ask this?"

Han Fengxian's eyes were alert, and the murderous intent in him became stronger.

When he said this, he had even cast his divine sense on all the people who had come into contact with Han Kun in the daily life, as if he was going to kill them all in the next moment.

Seeing Han Fengxian always looking like "there are always bad guys trying to harm my brother", Han Kun felt overwhelmed.

"Brother, do you think it's possible...I want to ask this myself?"

Han Fengxian heard this and was about to wave his hand to say "Impossible!"

Han Kun's age was so deceptive that Han Fengxian subconsciously thought of him as just a child.

But when he looked up and met Han Kun's suddenly serious face, Han Fengxian's expression froze and he said hesitantly.

"You really thought of that?"

After saying this, he hesitated for a moment, staring at Han Kun without blinking, with an inquiring look.

"Then tell me why you ask that."

Han Kun nodded his head first, then smiled.

"That's not hard to guess. My brother is compassionate and loving to me. If there is no reason, he would not let me hurry on my way."

"On our way back south, the tribes along the way were all in awe of my father's authority and treated me with great respect. They were also afraid that something might happen to me around them, so they sent warriors from their tribe to secretly protect me along the way."

"It can be seen from this that it must not be because of a problem on the road."

"Besides that, there is only home..."

Listening to Han Kun chattering out his guesses in a clear and logical manner, Han Fengxian's eyes, which had been slightly narrowed, gradually widened.

The look he gave his younger brother was filled with shock and confusion.

"This... this is all your own idea?"

Seeing Han Kun nod, Han Fengxian showed some ecstasy.

"My brother, Father Xiao, is a gift from heaven. He will achieve great things in the future!"

Just as he was about to laugh heartily, he heard Han Kun's voice suddenly ringing in his soul.

"Could it be that my two mothers don't want us to go back and want..."

When Han Fengxian heard Han Kun's words, his laughter got stuck in his throat, and his heart, which suddenly lifted up, also got stuck in his throat.

"My brother, be careful with your words!"

Han Fengxian hurriedly spoke up to stop Han Kun from speaking out of rebellion and forced a bitter smile.

"Where do you get these sinister ideas from, kid?"

After a scolding that was neither too light nor too heavy, Han Fengxian continued.

"Both mothers are kind people, and they have a very close relationship with my father. How could they harm you, my father's bloodline!"

Han Kun curled his lips and disagreed when he heard this.

"What if it's love turning into hate?"

Han Fengxian, unaware of his thoughts, just defended Gongsun Xinyi and Jiang Wan.

"In fact, the reason we welcome you back to the south this time is not only your father's idea, but also the suggestion of your two mothers."

"After all, no matter what, they are your legal mothers."

Hearing this, Han Kun was a little surprised.

"They were the ones who suggested that I go home?"

As he spoke, he lowered his eyes and spoke with some emotion.

“Is this alms?”

Han Fengxian was silent when he heard this.

Although he calls them father, mother, and mother just like Han Kun, he is not a real member of the Han family after all. There is a layer of separation between them, so it is really difficult for him to say some things.

So he could only emphasize.

"You just need to know that the two mothers will not harm you. With them around, even if the other mothers have the intention, they don't have the courage to do so."

After saying this, in order to prevent Han Kun from continuing to struggle with this issue, he changed the subject.

"As for our eagerness to return south, it actually has nothing to do with you and A Niang."

Han Fengxian said this with some shame.

"It's our selfishness..."

Hearing Han Fengxian's words, Han Kun looked confused.

"What do you mean, brother?"

Han Fengxian avoided Han Kun's gaze somewhat awkwardly and said with a guilty conscience.

"Actually, this matter is not complicated. The reason I didn't tell you is because I was afraid you wouldn't be interested."

Do not!
I am very interested.

Seeing Han Kun blinking his big eyes, full of curiosity, Han Fengxian had no choice but to confess.

"A few days ago, I received news from home that Youzhou Mu Yuan Feng had sent troops to attack Bingzhou."

"So we guess that father will definitely take action next..."

Han Kun has lived on the grassland for a long time and is too young.

He naturally didn't understand these things, but he acted very excited.

"and then?"

In this regard, Han Fengxian could only sigh.

“It’s my father’s offspring after all…”

Then he said.

"Since the battle with Huang Tiandao ten years ago, my father has been silent for a long time, and even the warriors like me in the army have no place to use our skills."

"Everyone is waiting for my father to take action, because only on the battlefield can we, the warriors in the army, prove ourselves. It is also an opportunity for all of us."

It is very difficult for warriors to get promoted in peacetime!
Relying on seniority to gain experience is a shame for any warrior with some blood in his veins.

Hearing this, Han Kun seemed to understand but not quite.

"So... in order not to miss this opportunity, you must rush back as soon as possible?"

Han Fengxian nodded and sighed with emotion.

"It's safe. Do you know? My Yulin Langwei has been in the army for ten years. The soldiers in the army study military books and strategies every day to hone their skills..."

"We finally have some experience, but when we open our eyes, we find that many battles have been fought by our parents. Do you understand our helplessness?"

Han Kun naturally didn't understand.

He only knew that unlike fighting with children, fighting... would result in death.

So he asked hesitantly.

"Aren't you... afraid of death?"

When Han Fengxian, who was always as cold as an iceberg, heard this question, his eyes were filled with enthusiasm that Han Kun could not understand.

"Ping An, you don't understand!"

"My Yulin men are either the sons of generals or the orphans of heroes. If they were afraid of death or did not have such ambitions, they would have chosen to study literature or enter the Mohist Academy long ago. How could they have inherited the wishes of their fathers and ancestors and joined the army?"

"The greatest wish of our generation is to leave a mark on the memorial tablet and achieve a lifetime of fame!"

Seeing Han Fengxian's fair face slightly flushed, Han Kun felt inexplicably scared.

He felt that his brother was probably ill, and seriously ill.

But his brother himself was completely unaware of it, and even grabbed him when he was about to slip away, and said resolutely.

"Don't worry, when you grow up and join the army, I will personally lead your horse and help you achieve unparalleled merits!"

Damn it!

My biggest wish in life is to marry more women like my father, and not go to the battlefield to fight!
Han Kun, whose shoulder was scratched so hard that it hurt, widened his eyes and became extremely angry.

Han Fengxian was very happy.

"Yes! That's the look! Full of murderous intent!"

"I will inherit my father's ambition and be invincible in the future!"

Hey!
Damn you, brother! You pinched me so hard!
