I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 259: Golden horns, silver-edged grass belly!

Chapter 259: Golden horns, silver-edged grass belly!
On the towering high building.

Although this attic in the General's Mansion is not as good as the Zhenbei Tower in the north of the city, the view is still excellent.

Looking around, almost half of Zhenliao City can be seen, which is quite magnificent.

The only drawback is that the wind is too strong.

The cold wind howls, easily blurring the voice.

It's just that none of the people present are ordinary mortals. Their cultivation is extraordinary, and their ears are naturally also extraordinary.

So when Han Shao finished speaking, Li Wenjing, who was sitting opposite her, subconsciously paused while picking up the chess pieces.

There was just the right hint of doubt on that normally smiling face.

Wu Sangui?
After a lot of searching, I still can't remember this person's name throughout the ages.

Li Wenjing couldn't help but ask.

"Who originally wrote this story? Can you let me have a taste of it?"

Han Shao looked away from Jiang Wan's reddish cheeks, took a sip of tea, and chuckled.

To be honest, perhaps Han Shao would not be so confident when facing any other problem.

It wasn't that he doubted the truth of Han Shao's words, but he was somewhat interested in the novelist Han Shao mentioned.

Guan Ning cavalry, Wu Sangui.

Lend him a taste or two?
It was originally just a random statement he made up, so where could he suddenly find it for tasting?
You can't write a "Chen Yuanyuan Biography" right in front of Li Wenjing, right?

"There is indeed some resemblance."

It seemed that he wanted to tell the truth of his words from the change of expression on this guy's face.

Seeing Li Wenjing's solemn expression and the white piece twisting in her hand still not falling, Han Shao coughed lightly and reminded him.

If Han Shao had come across this storybook after he became powerful, it would have been easier to say.

Han Shao laughed in his heart, but there was a look of regret on his face.

Shun Emperor Li Zicheng, and the Manchu and Qing aliens outside the Pass...

Some things can be guessed by just guessing.

Han Shao, who understood Li Wenjing's eyes, laughed.

"You are very sincere."

"When a man is born in this world, he does what he wants and what he doesn't do."

After casually placing a piece on the criss-crossing chessboard, Li Wenjing couldn't help but roll her eyes at Han Shao.

When Han Shao heard this, he quite consciously ignored the first layer of context and smiled calmly.

This is a double entendre.

A famous Qinhuai prostitute, Chen Yuanyuan.

After saying that, Li Wenjing suddenly said seriously.

Why is it that when it comes to oneself, one is only called Chang Shi?
Ah! A false father is not the father?
Or is it that I, the seventy-two sages of Confucianism in the past, cannot compare to Gongsun Du, a common man who only knows how to dance with a spear and a stick?
Li Wenjing was unhappy in her heart. She narrowed her eyes slightly, showing no emotion.

With that said, Han Shao took advantage of the situation and cut off the unofficial history of the late Ming Dynasty and recounted it in front of Li Wenjing.

"That story was something I accidentally read in my early years. As for who wrote it, it's been so long ago that I can't remember it."

"Chang Shi, it's time to make a move."

After all, if you really want to talk about it, although the novel genre has long been in decline now, in its early years it was still one of the top ten genres.

"This Mr. Wu...does he have any allusions?"

But if 'that person' had written this story long ago, this matter would be a bit complicated...

"This is not a real person, but a novelist's fiction."

Han Shao, on the other hand, was almost stunned by Li Wenjing's serious attitude.

All these factors combined with the current situation made even Li Wenjing sigh and sigh.

But in fact, some of these great talents use this seemingly exaggerated and absurd story to describe reality and even predict the future.

After all, as far as Emperor Taikang was concerned, there were not many cards he could play in the land of Youzhou.

Seeing Han Shao's serious expression, Li Wenjing frowned slightly.

It is a secret expression of Han Shao's enthusiastic attitude towards Gongsun Du.

Li Wenjing regained her composure after hearing this.

It is also in response to what Han Shao said just now, "I am not Wu Sangui."

Although most of his words, deeds, and discussions are purely imaginary and fabricated, they appear exaggerated and absurd at first glance.

"Look at Chang Shi's appearance...do you mean you don't believe me?"

This bastard treated Gongsun Du as "father-in-law" and called him affectionately.

Li Wenjing raised her eyes and looked at Han Shao with an inquiring expression.

But this is the only thing Han Shao is extremely confident about.

There is no way, the ideological imprint of just over twenty years in the previous life is too deep.

So much so that even if he traveled through time, Han Shao still didn't dare to have those two despicable words on his body.

Not only Li Wenjing couldn't understand this.

Others in this world who have never had such a 'historical memory' cannot understand it either.

After looking into Han Shao's clear eyes for a while, Li Wenjing finally smiled.

"You are indeed different from all the young people I have met before."

As he said this, he did not forget to emphasize it again.

"That's all."

He recalled that when he was at Jixia Academy, he had seen countless talented students.

Some can also be called talents and outstanding people.

But no matter how talented and outstanding those geniuses were back then, they all felt like they were nothing compared to the kid in front of them.

As for the specific difference, Li Wenjing couldn't say clearly.

After thinking about it, it seems that only one sentence can sum it up.

'You are destined by destiny... you are indeed an extraordinary person! '

Li Wenjing sighed in her heart and looked at Han Shao with a somewhat meaningful look.

"Changshi, are you praising me?"

Han Shao's smile continued.

"It's natural."

Li Wenjing nodded without any reluctance.

……

A cold wind blew in the attic.

The silver charcoal in the tea stove is burning brightly.

Jiang Wan, who was dressed in fox fur, turned her wrist and offered tea to the two of them from time to time.

From beginning to end, she never said a word.

He just watched quietly as the young and old sat in front of him and played chess.

To be honest, from her current perspective, these two people's chess skills were not superb.

It seems that you are going back and forth and fighting each other, but in fact it is just because you are half-hearted and can't do anything to the other party for the moment.

Jiang Wan was able to hold back her laughter because she was used to hiding her emotions.

However, the chessboard was boring, and Jiang Wan paid great attention to what the two of them said.

For example, the assumption Li Wenjing just made in front of Brother Shao made Jiang Wan feel extremely worried.

If Emperor Taikang really lets Gongsun Xinyi marry Laojiu of the Ji family in order to completely cut off the connection between Brother Shao and the Gongsun clan, how should Brother Shao react?

Watching Gongsun Xinyi marry someone else?

Jiang Wan felt that with Brother Shao's current temperament, he might not agree or be able to agree.

Putting aside the long-term love between children, the relationship between [in-laws] seems fragile.

In fact, it is extremely important.

Without this relationship, Brother Shao's desire to take over the Liao Army in the future would be unfair.

It might even come to naught.

And without the support of Zhenliao City and even the Gongsun clan, Champion City in the corner of Guxuan Grassland would be an isolated city.

Even if they can win the battle with the Karasuma barbarians in the future and completely eliminate the threat from the grassland, this will be the case.

Those aristocratic families and famous sects, even if they dare not go against Brother Shao openly, they will secretly unite to lock down the Champion City.

There is no other reason.

Just because her brother Shao was not from a wealthy family was enough.

ridiculous?

maybe.

Maybe the former Jiang Wan would find it ridiculous.

But over the past year, following Li Wenjing, my adoptive father, I have been practicing Legalism, reading ancient history and classics, reading about aristocratic families, and the origins of sects. Many things that I once couldn't understand or figure out have finally become clear to me. a feeling of.

Jiang Wan sighed in her heart.

For a woman, she is smart.

But sometimes she would rather be stupid.

Like her aunt, who was like her biological mother, she lived a heartless life all day long, but she was quite happy.

But unfortunately she is not her aunt, and her brother Shao is not his uncle Jiang Hu.

He was the current champion. Now he is the number one immortal in Jiazi.

Glory abounds, and everyone in the world hears his name.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this is naturally majestic and like a myth, but in the eyes of those truly ancient beings, the foundation is still too shallow after all.

The only way to make up for this shortcoming is to use force.

And marriage is the most convenient and fastest way.

When her thoughts turned to this, Jiang Wan smiled bitterly in her heart and suddenly felt that she had changed.

Once upon a time, she only had Brother Shao in her eyes.

I will only be sad and happy because of Brother Shao's happiness and sadness.

But now she has seen more and thought more. Although the core of it still revolves around Brother Shao, it is still different after all.

With too much weighing and calculation of interests, some things are no longer pure.

And just when Jiang Wan felt lonely and worried, the chess game between the two people on the side had finally come to an end.

Make a move and finish.

It seemed that the young man Han Shao was the better one after all, and the victory was determined in the end.

After seeing Han Shao's victory, he looked unfazed.

Li Wenjing sighed and said, "You're careless, you're careless!" '

One side praised.

"Brother Shao's chess skills are superb, just like in battle, he is brave and fearless, yet cautious! In time, he will become a national player!"

Facing such praise from his elders, Han Shao waved his hands repeatedly and said modestly.

"Chang Shi is overrated! Han can only win by luck because of his youth, ignorance and fearlessness. How can it compare to Chang Shi's step-by-step and majestic victory?"

Jiang Wan on the side looked at the two of them looking like they were having a hearty battle, and the corners of her beautiful mouth couldn't help but twitch.

If it weren't for one of them being her future husband.

The other person was the adoptive father whom she had kowtowed before.

She really wanted to imitate her aunt and spit at them, "You two stinky chess baskets, please save some face!" '

It's a pity that the two of them naturally didn't know what Jiang Wanda was thinking, and they praised each other. Li Wenjing on the side even didn't forget to step on Jiang Wandao.

"Wan Niang! You are a good husband!"

"He's a nice person, and he's also good at chess! You never win when you play chess with your father. You can learn more from Brother Shao in the future."

When Jiang Wan heard the words, she tried her best to lower her eyebrows and responded in a gentle voice.

"Wan Niang has remembered my adoptive father's teachings. If I have time, I will naturally ask Brother Shao for advice."

As the saying goes, there is poetry and calligraphy in the belly.

In less than a year, the ordinary city woman she once was is no longer what she used to be.

Her demeanor and demeanor are graceful and noble but without any arrogance. She is almost the same as those noble ladies from long-established aristocrats.

It was not in vain that he had tried so hard to get the nun from the palace to serve her.

Li Wenjing twirled her beard with her hands with great satisfaction.

But halfway through the action of twirling his beard, he froze.

'Hiss - there is something in this girl's words! '

'What does it mean to be free?'

'Are you blaming me for delaying the young couple to express their true feelings? '

Li Wenjing, who finally came to her senses, felt so depressed that she almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

At this moment, he finally understood how Gongsun Du had felt.

'No wonder they say women are foreign ministers! The way I treat her on weekdays... this... I'm not even married yet! '

Seeing Li Wenjing looking like she was about to blow her beard and glare, Jiang Wan felt bad, and quickly smiled sweetly and said, "Father, drink tea." '

In an instant, the clouds cleared and the sun appeared.

Lao Deng's eyes, which were originally small, suddenly lost sight of the black and white of his eyes, leaving only two curved lines sandwiched between the folds on his face.

Mmm - this tea tastes so good!
When Jiang Wan saw this, she couldn't help but smile proudly at Han Shao who was stunned at the side.

Two words - 'get it right'!
Fortunately, Li Wenjing still knew something about it. After tasting the tea served by her beloved daughter, she smiled bitterly.

"That's all, I won't be annoying here anymore."

Children, he can understand.

In total, from the beginning of the year to now, we have been away from each other for more than nine months, so naturally I miss her very much.

Seeing the rare look of coquettishness on Jiang Wan's face, Li Wenjing smiled.

In fact, I have a lot of emotions in my heart.

He was proud all his life, and even more so when he was young.

The teacher said that he lacked nothing in his life, but he lacked a little humanity.

If you don't add this touch of humanity, I'm afraid you won't be able to achieve great success in your life.

Now that I have finally tasted this human flavor, it is hard to say whether I can have the great achievements that the teacher said.

But the taste...is really not bad!
"I'll go ahead, you little ones, please be alone."

With that said, Li Wenjing stood up and disappeared in front of the two people.

He just raised his steps, but stopped again.

"Mulan's engagement with that Ji family boy must be settled as soon as possible."

This was said to Han Shao.

If the marriage contract is not resolved, many things will be tied up.

It will become a chess piece in the hands of Emperor Taikang.

Even if it doesn't really cause any serious problems, it can still disgust people.

Han Shao heard this and nodded in agreement.

In fact, neither he nor the Gongsun family have any good solutions to this matter for the time being.

It is definitely not possible to terminate the engagement directly.

That's a slap in Tianjia's face.

No matter how soft-tempered Emperor Taikang was, he probably couldn't bear this anger.

Seeing Han Shao's reaction, Li Wenjing naturally knew that this matter was easy to say but troublesome to say the least.

The key depends on whether Emperor Taikang understands his interests and is willing to let go.

After thinking about it, Li Wenjing suddenly blinked at Han Shao and said.

"Otherwise, you owe me a favor. How about I help you go to Nanhai County to kill the ninth son of the Ji family?"

Traditionally, the engagement is automatically dissolved when one party dies.

This is similar to solving the problem by solving the person who created it.

When Han Shao heard this, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Although he felt that this was indeed a good idea, his intuition told him that this old man was not indebted to him.

However, Han Shao did not refuse directly, but only spoke vaguely.

"Let's wait until this battle is over."

The war is imminent, and everything must give way to the bloody battle that follows.

Just like today, if Li Wenjing hadn't reminded Emperor Taikang of the possible trouble, Han Shao wouldn't even have thought of it.

After all, if you really want to talk about it, this world belongs to his Ji family and his Taikang Emperor.

He, Han, is working hard now, but he is guarding the door for his Ji family.

If you are still plotting against me at this time, are you still a human being?

If this is really the case, then even the slightest bit of love between his Han family and his Dayongji family will be gone.

When the time comes, it will be until death!
Li Wenjing squinted her eyes and looked at Han Shao. Seeing that he didn't agree, a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes, but she didn't pay too much attention.

It would be good to take advantage of this opportunity.

If you can't take advantage of it, forget it.

So as not to suffer retribution due to too much karma in the future.

After laughing, Li Wenjing said.

"what ever."

When this annoying old thing really disappeared in front of the two of them, Han Shao was not in a hurry to talk to Jiang Wan.

Instead, he continued to sit down on his knees.

Seeing this, Jiang Wan on the side was inevitably worried about gains and losses.

Didn't he ask, 'Brother Shao has rejected Wan Niang? '

She just knelt down and sat next to Han Shao quietly, and then asked softly.

"What are you looking at, Brother Shao?"

Han Shao picked up a black seed and played with it in his hand.
