I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 254: A man can’t eat five things! Death is also cooked in five cauldrons!
A leaf obscures the eyes, and Mount Tai cannot be seen.

Buddhism also has a saying about seeing and knowing.

Gongsun Du asked himself that on the battlefield, he had an overview of the overall situation and was not inferior to the famous generals in the world.

But outside the battlefield, he is much slower on some things.

Just like the disastrous defeat last year, he was defeated not on the battlefield, but outside the battlefield.

He had no idea how brave some people were.

I never imagined that some people are so greedy.

The same seems to be true for Gongsun Du, the future son-in-law of Han Shao.

There were some things he should have noticed earlier.

But at the beginning of the year, he felt that what Li Wenjing said was a bit exaggerated, and he didn't take it seriously.

To put it more bluntly, his vision and confidence could not support him to have such an idea.

It stands to reason that a young man who is not as young as a weakling.

There is also the fate of the "born phoenix" that the old man of the Zhao family approved of Gongsun Xinyi.

When he said this, Han Shao had a smile on his face and a calm tone of voice, as if he was talking about ordinary things.

Even when Han Shao appeared next to Gongsun Xinyi, he completely didn't believe in the so-called destiny theory.

How could such a person have such terrible thoughts?

"You are so... so brave!"

Realizing this, Gongsun Du suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Han Shao, who had always been quite respectful in front of Gongsun Du, now looked at Gongsun Du without hesitation.

This moment of discovery made Gongsun Du suddenly stop when he was about to speak.

His sharp eyes, which were always calm, looked at Han Shao with a rare hint of horror.

wrong!

calm!

How can it be? !
Or...how dare he!
Almost instantly, Gongsun Du, who was originally high in the palace, suddenly appeared in front of Han Shao.

This guy was so calm from beginning to end!
Facing the treacherous question he just made, there wasn't even a hint of panic on his face.

But fear was out of the question.

The words were spoken together, but they were interrupted by Han's raised corners of his mouth and a chuckle.

He was born in a humble background and his parents died young.

Desire...the world?
Oh, even though Gongsun Du had always been unruly and arrogant, and there were thousands of aristocratic families like Liaodong Gongsun behind him, he never dared to have such delusions.

But now, when these elements that I had ignored intentionally or unintentionally in the past were put together in my mind and then connected together, some connections and truths suddenly became clear.

He was just thinking about how to cover up that shocking question without leaving any trace.

The reason is very simple.

"you……"

It seems that he wants to see from it the ambition and desire that ordinary people think are shocking.

Instead, he looked at himself with a half-smiling expression.

Gongsun Du narrowed his sharp eyes and stared at the young man in front of him, full of scrutiny.

"My father-in-law is going to follow the righteousness of the story and kill his relatives... For the sake of the Ji family, why don't you kill your son-in-law?"

At this thought, Gongsun Du breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he felt an inexplicable feeling of disappointment.

"My father-in-law really has a sharp eye..."

Until this trip to the clan, Patriarch Gongsun conveniently divided the small half of Baima Yicong, who had always allowed no one to interfere with others, to be under Han Shao's command. Gongsun Du only thought that Patriarch Gongsun was just like himself and felt pity for Han Shao. Gifts and talents.

To be honest, Han Shao was slightly shocked when Gongsun Du asked that question without any warning.

That's why he made such an unexpected move.

He was just doubtful.

Relying on surviving in death on the battlefield and his "cultivation talent" that far exceeds common sense, he has come step by step to where he is today in a very short period of time.

Admit it!
This guy actually admitted it like that!

Not surprisingly, when Gongsun Du asked that shocking whisper, a hint of just the right amount of astonishment appeared on that too young face.

Yes!

Gongsun Du saw that the stunned look on Han Shao's face had quietly passed away without knowing when.

And this just right reaction even made Gongsun Du have the illusion that he was overthinking.

It's like a beggar who has been hungry and cold all day long. One day he suddenly has enough to eat and wear warm clothes. At this time, he will only think about how to eat better and wear warmer clothes, and then try his best to keep it all, instead of being like those who are born with it. Like the wealthy species, they fantasize about things that seem out of reach.

'Maybe I really think too much...'

To this day, although Han Shao still does not forget to act cautiously, he no longer needs to walk on thin ice and be as cautious as before.

The only thing that made him hesitate was how to deal with Gongsun Du's temptation without warning.

He asked himself that with his acting skills, as long as he wanted to, it would not be difficult to temporarily confuse this issue in front of Gongsun Du.

But after a few thoughts, Han Shao decided...a showdown!
There is no airtight wall in this world.

Most of what he was doing now was under Gongsun Du's nose.

Instead of letting Gongsun Du discover the clues on his own in the future, which would create a rift between them.

Might as well be a bachelor.

It was a good opportunity to see Gongsun Du's reaction.

Sure enough, as soon as Han Shao said those words, Gongsun Du's usually cold and hard face changed several times.

After a while, he took a deep breath, looked down at Han Shao who was kneeling in front of him, and said coldly.

"You are so confident, do you think I won't kill you?"

When Han Shao heard this, he looked back at Gongsun Du with a smile.

This smiling but silent expression seems to be asking Gongsun Du, "Can you do it?" '

Gongsun Du seemed to be angered by Han Shao's determined expression, and he approached step by step with a dark face.

But when Weng and son-in-law were close at hand, Han Shao listened to Gongsun's sound of breathing.

"Have you ever shown your rebellious thoughts in front of others?"

Seeing the anxiety and worry flashing through Gongsun Du's eyes for a moment, Han Shao was slightly startled.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion.

At this time, he actually saw a bit of Jiang Hu in the usually aloof 'King of Liao Zhen'.

But what Han Shao couldn't figure out was that he and Jiang Hu had a long-standing uncle-nephew friendship.

But what does Gongsun Du have to do with him?
The status of the future son-in-law alone does not seem to be enough to support Gongsun Du from paying too much to Han.

Therefore, Han Shao has always been somewhat wary of Gongsun Du.

But at this moment, since the words have been said for this reason, there is no point in being prepared or not.

Meeting Gongsun Du's gaze, Han Shao smiled.

"Father-in-law, don't worry. If you don't keep secrets between you and your ministers, you will lose your virginity. My son-in-law understands this truth."

Han Shao looked sincere.

"Except for my father-in-law, even those close to me don't know..."

Han Shao didn't lie.

Even in the conversation he had with Grand Ancestor Gongsun, they were only vague and did not point out anything directly.

After Gongsun Du heard this, he carefully observed the changes in Han Shao's expression, and his tense expression gradually relaxed a little.

Also!

As long as they are not stupid enough, no one would talk about the idea of ​​decapitation.

After looking at Han Shao intently for a while, Gongsun Du suddenly sighed helplessly.

At this moment, he finally realized Gongsun Zhi's mood in the past when he would always call him a 'treasonous son' and an 'evil obstacle'.

As a parent, it is indeed a bit sad to meet such careless children.

fine……

Fortunately, Gongsun Du had a keen mind and was aware of this evil intention in advance.

Some things can be dealt with in advance. If he really had to watch in confusion as this bastard caused trouble and caused his whole family to be beheaded, then he would be truly unjustly accused.

However, Gongsun Du was not entirely angry at this moment.

Because even with such fatal thoughts, Han Shao had no hidden thoughts in front of him.

This unreserved trust alone was enough to make Gongsun Du feel happy.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Du felt a lot calmer, and his eyes looking at Han Shao softened a lot.

Taking advantage of the situation, he sat down with Han Shao on the same case.

He didn't ask Han Shao why he had such rebellious thoughts.

He just silently added a cup of tea to the two of them on the table in front of him, and then continued to mind his own business.

"Do you know what is the biggest regret in your life as a father?"

This question is too broad.

You don't need to think about it to know that you can't answer it for a while.

As expected, Gongsun Du didn't expect Han Shao to answer, so he asked and answered by himself.

"Childless."

Gongsun Xinyi's talent was outstanding, and his temperament was more like his own.

But she is a girl after all.

Gongsun Du once thought of finding a husband for her in the future to continue the bloodline.

Their direct lineage is not completely cut off.

But as Gongsun Xinyi grew up, Gongsun Du couldn't bear it.

Fighting in battle and killing enemies is what a man should do.

Gongsun Du didn't want Gongsun Xinyi to bear these heavy shackles, so he simply gave up on such thoughts.

He just wanted his daughter to live her life like an ordinary woman in this world.

But in this case, some regrets can only be regrets.

At this time, Han Shao suddenly appeared in front of Gongsun Du out of nowhere.

Inexplicably, something unfinished by Gongsun Du fell on him.

Across the battlefield, Beiji's mission.

A long-cherished wish to revive the glory of the military strategists of the past.

and even the future of hundreds of thousands of Zhenliao soldiers.

After Gongsun Du felt that Han Shao could take over this for him, some of Gongsun Du's thoughts suddenly changed.

Gongsun Xinyi inherited his bloodline, and Han Shao could just pass on his other things.

That's why he regarded Han Shao as his son-in-law before he married Gongsun Xinyi.

This kind of psychological change sounds complicated, but to put it bluntly, the appearance of Han Shao just carries and entrusts Gongsun Du's long-standing regrets.

Some seemingly unreasonable behavioral logics become logical.

And listening to Gongsun Du's gentle voice next to him for the first time, talking about this.

Han Shao suddenly felt a little funny.

At first, he didn't expect that some of the confusions he had always had would suddenly become clear at this moment.

Secondly, he didn't expect that Gongsun Du could be so gentle under his seemingly sharp and cold appearance.

Is this what is called contrasting cuteness?

After taking a cup of tea and drinking it with Gongsun Du, Gongsun Du continued before he could speak.

"I am telling you this today for no other reason."

"I just want to tell you that when you get married to Mulan, you will become my own son."

"If you want what I have now, I can give it to you."

Gongsun Du's tone was friendly at this moment, and every word seemed like a promise.

Even though Han Shao couldn't tell the truth from the lie for a moment, he couldn't help but feel a little touched.

Again, this kind of giving that comes from the elders giving everything they have is something Han Shao has never experienced in his previous life.

It's strange, but I can't help but feel excited.

Therefore, even though Han Shao's mind was already as deep as an abyss, he couldn't help but feel a little confused. He didn't know how to respond to Gongsun Du's words for a while.

In response, Gongsun Du just smiled and then patted him hard on the shoulder.

"Some things cannot be rushed."

"The foundation of the Dayongji clan is still there today and cannot be shaken easily."

"Not to mention you and me, our husband-in-law, even if we include Liaodong Gongsun, he is nothing in front of the Ji family of the Tian family."

"Do you understand what it means to be a father?"

What's not clear about this?
He's not mentally ill. If he jumps out in a hurry like this, isn't he seeking death?
Seeing Gongsun Du consoling himself with some caution, as if he was afraid that he would raise his troops and shout "Han Shao in Youzhou, never go to Yong" if he disagreed, Han Shao secretly laughed.

"Don't worry, father-in-law, my son-in-law understands."

"If you do something forcefully before the time comes, you will either die without a burial place, or you will be a pioneer for the king. A wise man will not do it."

A pioneer for the king?

Gongsun Du's eyes lit up.

Then I saw that Han Shao looked serious. Not only did he really listen to what he said, but he was also so clear-headed that he felt very good.

"Father really saw you right."

Young people tend to be passionate and impulsive, and things get out of hand.

He, Gongsun Du, was also at this age.

I remember how many times Gongsun Zhi wiped his butt.

Now that one generation is in charge of the other, he is naturally frightened.

But even so, he never thought of letting Gongsun Xinyi cut off contact with Han Shao to avoid causing trouble in the future and implicating himself.

After all, Gongsun Du is not stupid.

A son-in-law of the Seventh Realm True Immortal who is not as young as a weak crown can be described as a rare thing in the world.

How could it be possible to abandon it like worn out shoes?

In this way, Weng and his son-in-law sat down on their knees, raised glasses to each other, and talked a lot at once.

This can be said to be something that has never happened before between the two of them.

Even Han Shao felt a bit of novelty.

It wasn't until he realized that the time was almost up that Han Shao stood up and left.

The reason why he came to see Gongsun Du today was to select one of the three seven-level true immortals from the side branch to serve as the commander-in-chief of the ten thousand white-horsed followers.

Although there are some hiccups now, it can be regarded as an unexpected gain.

At least from now on, when he faced Gongsun Du, he no longer had to be as cautious and testing as before, and his actions were naturally much smoother.

Just like this moment, when Han Shao stood up to say goodbye, Gongsun Du even took the initiative to recommend one of the three seven-level true immortals from the side branches for Han Shao.

"Gongsun Xun, his cultivation is good, and his ability to command troops is not bad either."

Han Shao nodded and said he understood.

But just when Han Shao was about to turn around and leave, Gongsun Du couldn't help but ask.

"It's a long way to go to the divine capital. As a father, I am very curious. Why did my son-in-law develop the desire to spy on the artifact?"

Again, in Gongsun Du's view, Han Shao shouldn't have such thoughts based on his background.

Han Shao was slightly startled when he heard this.

For a moment I didn't know how to respond.

After all, you can't say that you are born a traitor.

So I thought about it before responding.

"A man cannot eat five pots of food in life, and he will be cooked in five pots of food in death!"

Gongsun Du looked at Han Shao with complicated eyes, even a bit like he was looking at a madman.

But then I felt that in today's world, how many people are not crazy?
