I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 610 Han Kun: My father...hasn’t had an easy time either!
The fact that the son of the Duke of Yan returned south to recognize his ancestors was no small matter.

It’s just that his origin and bloodline are somewhat embarrassing, so he hasn’t been widely publicized.

In order to avoid unnecessary complications, the counties along the way south did not show much enthusiasm.

They only sent someone to greet them when they passed through and provided some necessary food supplies, and there were no other unnecessary actions.

The main point is neither neglectful nor intimate.

By avoiding the hassles of etiquette along the way, the entire team moved even faster than on the grassland.

In just ten days, the outline of the tall city wall of Zhenliao City appeared before everyone's eyes.

At this time, the Diziying infantry of the Liao army in the west had already defeated 100,000 Bingzhou wolf cavalry and were advancing all the way through Bingzhou.

The cavalry of the Tianzi Camp in the east was like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. They took over the entire Younan area and were about to march south to Zhuozhou.

Faced with these successive good news, Han Fengxian, Li Shentong and a group of Yulin men couldn't help feeling a little depressed for a while.

late!

No matter how hard I tried, I still came back late!
How can these young and passionate people who are eager to achieve success not feel disappointed and depressed?
However, the Wuhuan royal army who were traveling along the way could not understand the sighs and helplessness of these Yulin guards.

No!

No wars, no deaths, isn't that a good thing?

What's there to be disappointed about?
Also... didn’t you southerners from the Central Plains always scold us northerners from the grasslands for being cruel and barbaric?
But why do we feel that you...you are even more passionate and brutal than us!
Feeling the depressing and dull atmosphere of the next door where they couldn't fight, the warriors of the Royal Tent Army inexplicably felt a bit of a chill.

Fortunately, this gloom was quickly dispelled by what I saw and heard along the way.

Tall city walls, vast farmlands, and a bustling flow of merchants and common people.

The prosperity of the South made them suddenly realize why their ancestors could not help but risk losing their heads and continue to lead their people south.

It’s simple, I’m just afraid of being poor!

Especially those small tribes, when the tribal population increases, they cannot be supported anyway.

Death is everywhere.

In that case, we might as well give it a try.

Everyone is happy if it succeeds.

If it fails, it can also consume a portion of the excess population and allow the remaining people in the tribe to survive.

Well, if you calculate it this way, this deal is a profit no matter how you look at it.

"If I were a father or grandfather, I would probably do the same..."

Someone was making assumptions in his mind, but then he was stunned.

Thinking back to the past, his father, grandfather and countless other tribesmen had tried their best, exhausted countless bones and blood, and the piles of corpses could even cover an entire vast grassland, but they still failed to truly enter the South.

But now?

He succeeded in standing here.

Looking up at the Zhenliao City in front of him, which was taller and more solid than Guanjun City, he suddenly felt an unreal silence.

Especially when he saw the team of southern cavalry riding out of the city gate and welcoming them with a smile, this contradictory feeling of time, space and position made him inexplicably want to cry.

"In fact, there is no need for war or casualties. As long as one side chooses to bow its head and the other side has a broad mind..."

As the thought flashed through his mind, the warrior of the royal army put his hand on his chest and said silently.

'Praise the great Khan--'

……

"Are you...scared?"

Han Kun lifted the pearl curtain of the chariot, looked at the towering city, and then quickly put it down.

Then he tightened his face and sat upright.

Meng Zi comforted him with a smile.

"This is your home. It's just home. Why are you so nervous?"

Han Kun blushed and said stubbornly.

"I don't!"

After saying this, his face turned bitter and he said helplessly.

"Sister, a forced melon is not sweet, please let me go."

I regretted being tempted by the toys and being trapped in the thieves' den and unable to escape.

At this moment, Han Kun was regretting his decision to the core and was extremely anxious.

Just think about it, if even he was so uneasy, how confused and helpless his mother must be at this moment.

How can I survive if my mother, my only support, is not by her side at this time?

But he was not strong enough to do anything to this evil woman, and Aguda's loyal servant was also unable to do anything to this evil woman's "guards".

Really - what can the disciples do!
Meng Zi saw what Han Kun was thinking and said unhappily.

"I'm so nice to you, but you care about your mother, but don't you care about me?"

She came to the door and gave it to him for free without any shame. She appeared calm on the surface but she was just pretending to be strong. In fact, she was feeling insecure inside.

Keeping this little girl by her side would at least give her more confidence.

But seeing the irritability accumulating between Han Kun's brows, she finally softened her heart.

"Forget it. I'll let you go today. Go back."

This sudden turn of events left Han Kun stunned.

Then, as if he was afraid that she would change her mind, he quickly got out of the carriage and went to his mother.

It was so clean and neat that Meng Zi's eyes dimmed.

To be honest, Han Kun's "heartlessness" really made her sad.

Fortunately, she quickly cheered up.

"What's the big deal? At worst I can just give birth to a child myself in the future!"

……

"Welcome Madam Heya and Young Master!"

The black-armored cavalry who came to greet them dismounted from their horses in unison.

After the leading cavalry general stood up, he hurriedly saluted Han Fengxian.

"Greetings, Master Fengxian. You must have had a hard time on your journey north."

Han Fengxian did not accept the gift but avoided it.

There is no way. Although this person is not famous, he can't get much attention in the army.

But he is the cousin of his father and is considered his elder.

He didn't dare to accept this gift.

"Uncle Zhao, you are too polite. We are relatives and do not deserve such a great gift."

After some empty politeness, Han Fengxian was about to take him to meet Wuhuan Heya mother and son, but was rejected.

Perhaps because of the "Uncle Zhao" he just called out to him, Han Zhao gave a reminder in a low voice.

"Fengxian, there are some things we cannot get involved in, it is better to stay away from them..."

The two of them didn't have a very deep friendship before, so these words have a bit of the meaning of being too intimate.

However, although Han Fengxian was aloof by nature, he was not unable to distinguish between good and evil.

Naturally, I know that the other party's words are well-intentioned.

Unfortunately, unlike this uncle, from the day his father placed the baby Ping'an in his arms, the connection between him and his younger brother could not be severed.

But he couldn't express these words, so he could only nod silently and answer perfunctorily.

"Thank you Uncle Zhao for your advice. I will let you know first."

……

After entering the city, the Yulin Langwei and Wuhuan Wangzhao troops were led to the military camp for settlement by the imperial guards who came to greet them.

Among them, Li Shentong also left.

After all, no matter how close Li Jing and his father and son are to Han Shao, they are still outsiders.

However, Temu Aguda and Han Fengxian continued to guard the carriage all the way to the Duke's Mansion.

Because he was a house slave.

Similar to the previous situations along the way, the return home of Han Kun and his mother did not cause much stir.

There was a hint of awkwardness in the calmness.

A bastard, and a bastard who was raised on the grassland and has half barbarian blood.

No one knew what kind of situation this bastard would be in, so no one dared to interfere, for fear of bringing disaster upon themselves, or even causing trouble.

After all, so many years have passed, and who doesn't know that the two wives of the dukes in the mansion now are not easy to deal with?

In this way, the carriage drove peacefully into the awe-inspiring and majestic Duke's Palace.

……

"Are we home already?"

In the eyes of Han Kun, who grew up in the Wuhuan Palace, this house in front of him was actually not that unusual.

But this made him feel much more at ease.

Turning his head to look at his mother's tense face, which showed the nervousness and fear that could not be concealed, Han Kun smiled.

"Mom, we're home."

As he spoke, he took the mother's hand, feeling the sweat and slight trembling in her hand, and Han Kun comforted her. "Don't be afraid, mother, I'm here."

"Hean, you have really grown up..."

Having found support, Karasuma and Miyabi felt relieved and forced a smile.

"Mother, don't be afraid."

They got off the carriage hand in hand, and the mother and son walked forward holding each other.

After taking a few steps, Han Kun frowned as he looked at the deserted and vast vestibule in front of him.

Suddenly, without any warning, he let go of A Niang's hand and walked quickly forward.

Such a sudden action made everyone present change their expression.

Karasuma Kazuya even exclaimed in a low voice.

"Peace, don't be unbridled!"

But at this moment, the half-grown figure had already lifted his clothes and knelt down with great respect.

Then he spoke loudly in his voice which had not yet changed.

"Han Kun, the son of the Duke of Yan of Dayong and General Zhengbei, is safe! He has returned from the north!"

"I want to see my father and both mothers! I beg you to allow me to return to my ancestral home and continue to offer sacrifices and incense to our Han ancestors!"

The young man's clear voice, carried by the strong energy, resounded throughout the mansion.

Since no one comes to greet you, I will force you to come out!
For a moment, everyone who guessed the young prince's thoughts were moved.

"Is this forcing...forcing the 'palace'?"

Only Han Fengxian showed some relief and joy on his cold and arrogant face after witnessing this scene.

"My younger brother is really like his father!"

Bow and kowtow.

All in one go.

In the dead silence of the front square of the palace, all the energy seemed to be concentrated on that half-grown figure at this moment.

For a moment, it made people feel that they couldn't look directly at it.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

Just when everyone was almost suffocating in the dead silence, a gentle sigh suddenly came from the mansion.

"Karasuma clan——"

Karasuma Kazuya, who was suddenly called by the gentle voice, came to his senses suddenly and knelt down hurriedly.

"My concubine, Karasuma, is here..."

The gentle voice then said lightly.

"You gave birth to a good son."

Before Karasuma and Miyabi could come to their senses from this praise, another cold voice was heard.

"I'll credit you for this."

"Ping An, help your mother up."

As soon as he finished speaking, two rows of soldiers filed out of the originally empty lobby, followed by a group of female servants approaching.

"Madam Heya, Shaojun, please."

Just as a group of maids were respectfully leading the mother and son forward, they turned around with a look of surprise on their faces.

"Why... why is there one more person?"

……

The main hall of the inner court.

Han Kun, who stepped in, was still distracted for a moment even though he had made sufficient mental preparation.

What I saw was two stunning women, one gentle and the other cold, sitting side by side in the hall.

As expected, these two are his biological mothers.

The remaining women sitting on both sides were equally extraordinary.

Two of them were even prettier than the two legitimate mothers who were sitting in the main seats.

This made Han Kun, who originally thought that his mother was the best woman in the world, feel a little frustrated.

But that wasn't what made him lose consciousness.

What really made him lose his mind was that as he subconsciously activated his natural spiritual eyes, he saw divine light shining throughout the whole room. Except for the two women at the end who looked a little uneasy, all the women in front of him were actually the world's top practitioners!
Some of them were even far inferior to his teacher who was at the Arhat level.

"Wow - what a magical family this is!"

Han Kun's little heart was somewhat shocked.

At this time, the woman who was one of his two biological mothers said coldly in the hall.

"Weren't you quite brave outside just now? Why are you like this in front of the hall?"

Han Kun concentrated his mind and said immediately.

"Ping An grew up in the north, and all he saw were plants and trees. Today, I suddenly had a glimpse of the faces of my two mothers and aunts, and I lost my composure for a moment. I beg my two mothers and aunts to forgive me!"

Hearing this, all the goddesses in the hall had a strange look in their eyes.

Among them, Tushan Feixuan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Look at this little mouth, it really is worthy of being my husband's child."

The son resembles his father, and this is truly true.

As soon as he opened his little mouth, he started to speak coaxing words, just like his father.

When Tushan Feixuan said this, all the girls couldn't help laughing.

Even Gongsun Xinyi and Jiang Wan, who were sitting high up, couldn't help but feel a little bit of love for the whole family.

But the more this happened, the colder the looks the women cast on Karasuma and Miyabi became.

"How could this barbarian woman give birth to such an outstanding man? Heaven is really unfair!"

Jealousy, resentment, and even a bit of anger.

But they all had their own pride, and as it was in front of the children, no one was so unruly as to show these emotions.

Until his gaze turned and fell on the silent woman behind Karasuma and Miyabi mother and son.

The most outgoing one among them was Bai, who spoke directly and rudely.

"Where did you come from!"

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Meng Zi pushed the golden glass mirror, seemingly embarrassed but actually speaking as a matter of course.

"My dear sisters, please be patient. I, Meng, am here to join you."

……

Ok.

When Han Shao appeared at home, the first thing that caught his eye was this embarrassing situation.

Under the gazes that were as sharp as swords, Han Shao gritted his teeth and said a few words of concern to Han Kun and his mother.

"The war was raging ahead, and it was a dangerous battle. I was unable to take care of you and your son for a while. It was my fault."

In one sentence, explain the reason first and then admit your mistake.

Not only did she move Wuhuan and Miyabi deeply, but she also said, "My husband's great cause is important, I don't care."

Even the other women present felt relieved and even felt a little guilty.

Yes, my lord is busy with the war, how can we let these trivial matters in the inner house burden him and make him upset?

So ignorant!
Han Shao took a quick glance at the situation in the hall, and after he felt somewhat confident, he looked at Meng Zi, who was fighting the "group of women" alone with her neck stiffened, and said to the women with a sigh.

"Xiao Meng is young, please don't bully her."

"In addition, Mo Jia has made a lot of contributions to me and the Liao Army over the years. I really can't let them down..."

"The same goes for Xiao Meng. She alone can be as powerful as my 100,000 soldiers!"

After hearing this, Meng Zi suddenly felt that all his persistence was worth it.

In her ears, nothing else matters.

I only remember the words 'Don't bully her' and 'It's hard to let her down'.

The expressions of the women present were startled, and then they realized Meng Zi's identity - the direct descendant of the Mohist school and the direct bloodline of the giant.

If you can take this girl into your harem, it will only benefit you and not cause any harm to your cause.

But doing this would be a bit... unfair to my husband.

After all, judging from the girl's aggressiveness just now, she must be a rebellious and domineering person.

For a moment, they actually began to feel sorry for Han Shao.

Han Kun, who saw the whole scene, was stunned and couldn't help but feel a sense of awe for his father.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that his own abilities in front of his father were like a firefly in front of the bright moon, not worth mentioning.

Suddenly looking up, the father and son's eyes met for a moment, and Han Kun sighed in his heart.

Considering the future situation of himself and his mother, he had no choice but to go against his conscience and speak up for his father.

"My two mothers! My father...it's not easy!"
