I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 297 The beast in the cage! The common man is not guilty!
Above the void, the wind is fierce.

Gongsun Xun, who felt a little uncomfortable under Han Shao's gaze, lowered his eyes and bowed to show his respect.

Liaodong County is located in Youbei, adjacent to the grassland.

The Gongsun family has lived here for countless years.

Over time, it was inevitable to become tainted with some barbarian ethos.

This can be seen from the fact that they use the white wolf as their totem and clan emblem.

Among wolves, even the strongest wolf needs to curl up its claws and crawl on the ground in front of the alpha wolf.

There is no shame or anger in surrendering to the younger generation.

As long as Han Shao, the alpha wolf, is strong enough and ferocious enough.

Being able to lead the wolf pack to survive in this cruel world and even open up a wider hunting ground.

That... nothing is important.

Including the struggles and differences of interests between him and Gongsun Du, they all seem insignificant under such a major premise.

After looking at Gongsun Xun with a half-smile, Han Shao finally looked away.

As for what the old man named Zheng said before he died, he just asked casually.

The purpose is just to use this excuse to test some subtle changes in Gongsun Xun's attitude.

The result is quite satisfactory.

Although Han Shao could not safely use him as a trump card, he could still be trusted as a big help in the upcoming battle.

"My uncle has sharp ears and eyesight. He is getting stronger and stronger as he grows older. He is not inferior to this young junior like me. I am really gratified."

According to seniority, Gongsun Xun was indeed a generation older than Gongsun Du.

Han Shao's uncle is not considered a compliment.

After such a small joke came out, a smile appeared on Gongsun Xun's cold and rigid face, but he quickly stopped it.

"I don't dare to be called your uncle."

"As long as you don't mind that Xun is old and useless, you can send him around as much as you like!"

Han Shao laughed when he heard this.

As expected, he was an old fox who could fight Gongsun Du vigorously.

Maybe they will be stupid in some big things, but how can it be really simple to be able to reach a high position or even achieve immortality?
A look, a joke.

It doesn't take too many words at all to form enough tacit understanding.

"With my uncle's words, I will not be polite in the future!"

“But if you have your orders, don’t dare to disobey them!”

An old man and a young man, after a brief joke.

Han Shao finally looked at the ancestor of the Chen family whose expression was constantly changing.

"Now that the matter has been completed, I wonder if Chen Zu would like to go down with me and visit the mansion to talk about it?"

Han Shao's tone was gentle, but with the power of killing immortals that had not yet dissipated, the ancestor of the Chen family felt an unprecedented pressure.

His breath paused, and he wanted to nod in agreement.

But in the end he shook his head and refused.

"It's getting late today, so I won't disturb the champion's rest."

After saying that, he seemed to be afraid that Han Shao would think that he was not giving face, so he never took the opportunity to get angry.

So he quickly said again.

"Tomorrow! Tomorrow morning, I will visit you personally with a generous gift!"

"That way you won't be rude!"

High-ranking families value the most important gifts.

What the ancestor of the Chen family said is quite reasonable.

But in fact, both Han Shao and himself knew that this was just an excuse.

First of all, Han Shao's brazen act of beheading the immortal today really shocked him.

He needed to calm down to avoid losing his temper and embarrassment in front of Han Shao.

Secondly, he also wanted to take advantage of this time to pull out his 'good son and grandson' and interrogate him about the causes and consequences of this matter.

Otherwise, hastily talking to Han Shao, a hungry wolf that obviously eats people without spitting out bones, will only lead to being led by the other party.

The ancestor of the Chen family has been in the world for so many years, and it is no exaggeration to say that he has matured with age.

Many things only require a single thought, and the gains and losses can be clearly calculated in the mind.

It's just that there is a saying that "the situation is stronger than the person". Any calculations and ideas seem so feeble in the face of powerful strength.

So after saying this, the ancestor of the Chen family could only look at Han Shao helplessly, fearing that this guy would not give him face and refuse directly.

Fortunately, Han Shao just smiled and looked at him for a while, then said indifferently.

"what ever."

He said, half jokingly, half seriously.

"But the generous gift you mentioned, I will remember it for you."

"If this generous gift does not satisfy me when the time comes, Chen Zu, please don't blame me for getting angry!"

Face is something that should not be given away when you need it.

It’s worthless when you don’t want it.

Now Han Shao, who has long been unable to make ends meet in terms of financial resources, is already considered crazy from poverty.

Naturally, you can shave a little bit.

Sure enough, when the ancestor of the Chen family breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Han Shao's words, he couldn't help but laugh a little in his heart.

He kept saying things in his mouth.

"Definitely! Definitely! I still have some extra money, so I won't let the champion down!"

He didn't think that Han Shao, who owned the entire Champion City and Prairie Business Road, would be really short of money.

Just think that Han Shao is joking.

How do you say this?

The rich are willing to spend money, but others only think that this is their true temperament.

The generosity of the poor will only lead to ridicule.

This is the black humor of reality.

Seeing Han Shao nodding towards him with satisfaction and a kind expression, the ancestor of the Chen family finally relaxed a little.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the figure hanging quietly in the void, and the ancestor of the Chen family sighed in his heart.

The Chen family in Zhuojun and the Zheng family in Yuyang, two powerful families who controlled a county, had been fighting openly and secretly with each other for many years.

Naturally, his relationship with Zheng Fan, the ancestor of the Zheng family, was not much better.

Now seeing the death of this opponent who had been entangled with him for many years, the ancestor of the Chen family thought that he would feel happy and even laugh three times.

But reality is not like this.

Not only was there no joy, but an inexplicable feeling of sadness arose in my heart.

The rabbit is dead and the fox is sad?

Or maybe you suddenly feel that after this, another familiar old man in the world has disappeared?
The ancestor of the Chen family himself couldn't explain clearly.

So after several hesitations, he still mustered up the courage to bow his hands to Han Shao.

"I have a merciless request, and I hope the champion will fulfill it."

Han Shao didn't like hearing the words 'unkind invitation'.

Just considering that the Chen family in Zhuojun still had some uses, he still gave the Chen family ancestor a chance to speak.

"Tell me."

I have to say that Han's face-changing skills are top-notch.

It only takes a moment to change from a smiling face to a droopy mouth.

Facing such huge pressure, the ancestor of the Chen family smiled bitterly in his heart.

'Why bother doing this for a past rival? '

I just regretted it, but since the words had been spoken, I still said it bravely.

"I would like to ask the Champion... to allow me to collect Zheng Fan's body for him!"

That's it?

Han Shao was surprised.

But then he squinted his eyes and looked at the other person.

"You have a good relationship with Zheng Fan...?"

The quality of the relationship between high-ranking families is mostly staged for outsiders to see.

The same is true for the Chen family in Zhuojun and the Zheng family in Yuyang.

There are some things that he needs to reconsider.

When the ancestor of the Chen family met Han Shao's incomprehensible eyes, he was suddenly startled and said hurriedly.

"That's not the case! I just can't bear that the seven-level true immortal will die without a burial place..."

Han Shao seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"that's it?"

"That's all!"

The ancestor of the Chen family spoke firmly, but the slightly trembling final voice revealed the anxiety and fear in his heart at this time.

It fully demonstrates what it means to be a tiger and a wolf in the current situation, and to be cautious.

So what if they are both true immortals of the Seventh Realm?
In the front there was Gongsun Xian of the Gongsun clan in Liaodong, and in the back there was Zheng Fan of the Zheng clan in Yuyang.

Facing these cruel people who slaughter immortals like dogs.

Let me ask, who can not be afraid?
Seeing the ancestor of the Chen family looking like an immortal, Han Shao laughed.

"Since Chen Zu said this, I can just believe it."

The prerequisite for showing kindness is to let the other person know the fear first.

In this way, you will often get twice the result with half the effort.

"After all, I expect that Chen Zu will not disappoint me...right?"

Hearing Han Shao's meaningful question, the ancestor of the Chen family burst into tears of gratitude.

"I would like to thank the champion Hou Xinzhong!"

"The Chen family of Zhuojun will not disappoint the champion!"

After hearing this, Han Shao nodded with satisfaction.

"That's good."

After finishing speaking, he no longer gave him a chance to speak.

Take one step forward and disappear into the void in front of you.

Such an action is quite in line with the temperament of a military man.

Be crisp, direct and without any fuss.

Gongsun Xun, who was silent on the side, glanced at the ancestor of the Chen family, left a sentence of "take care of yourself", and then disappeared into the void.

Gongsun Xun also needs to digest today's changes.

After all, if he remembered correctly, when Han Shao killed Gongsun Xian last time in the clan area, he also used the blue magic bead of the Eighth Realm Celestial Being.

And Zheng Fan of the Yuyang Zheng family is not much weaker than that idiot Gongsun Xian.

But today, Han Shao killed Zheng Fan with overwhelming force without the help of the blue magic bead! The huge difference in this situation really shocked Gongsun Xun a lot.

'Is that innate ability really so terrifying? '

Gongsun Xun didn't know and couldn't understand.

He only knew that after today, if Zheng Fan came to his doorstep as a resource, Han Shao's strength would probably rise to another terrifying dimension.

However, this does not seem to be a bad thing for him, Gongsun Xun, or even the entire Liaodong Gongsun lineage.

'As a wolf, you have to be stronger. '

Liaodong Gongsun has been locked in a cage by that ancestor for too long.

For so long, these unparalleled generals who once roamed the battlefield almost went crazy.

They are so crazy that they can only be of the same lineage as their direct descendants, fighting and biting each other.

Now the ancestor finally showed mercy and released the shackles and cages that had been placed on these beasts.

At this moment, they desperately want to prove themselves.

I want to tell my ancestor.

They are military strategists!
A military strategist destined to dominate the battlefield!

It is not a caged beast that needs to be protected and is not willing to imprison itself in an enclosure!

And to do all this, they need a strong enough and ferocious alpha wolf to lead them through all this.

Now it seems that this young junior whom they were not optimistic about and even hostile to was just right!
He is more cunning than Gongsun Du.

He was more decisive and ambitious than Gongsun Du.

What's more important is that judging from his various actions, he is more ruthless than Gongsun Du and even all of them!

These clues can be seen just from this time, the way this guy dealt with the Zheng family in Yuyang.

In just one day, they used coercion and inducement, and killed people with borrowed knives.

The method is cruel, but the impact can be minimized.

People, he killed.

The Chen family of Zhuojun also took the blame for him.

Gongsun Xun asked himself, if it were him, he would definitely not be able to be so perfect.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Xun couldn't help but feel a sense of fear for this young junior, almost like a mountain.

'A born hero is nothing more than this. '

……

The next morning.

Han Shao opened his eyes in a piece of warm fragrant nephrite.

Han Shao laughed when he saw those beautiful eyes that were becoming increasingly familiar staring at him for a moment.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Yu Xuanji is quite honest.

"nice."

Only watch it if it looks good. Who will watch it if it doesn’t look good?

There certainly seems to be nothing to hide.

Han Shao was amused.

"The days ahead are not short, and the days ahead are long. Haven't you seen enough?"

When Yu Xuanji heard this, she lowered her eyes and thought for a while.

"I haven't seen my husband very often recently."

These words were quite a bit resentful, but were somewhat inconsistent with her usual distant and indifferent temperament.

Maybe this is the woman.

If you are close, you are not inferior; if you are far, you will be resentful.

At the beginning of the year, Han Shao spent all day hanging around the back house in order to confuse the high-ranking families in the city.

This woman often tells herself to cheer up.

Now that she was really busy, she felt resentful.

With a helpless smile, Han Shao originally wanted to say that if he was bored or missed himself, he could go to the front office to find himself.

But after thinking about it for a while, he still swallowed these words.

Some heads cannot be opened randomly, otherwise it will be difficult to establish rules in the future.

So he changed the topic and pretended to be joking.

"Then you should take advantage of this moment to take a closer look, and don't do yourself a disservice."

But who knew that when this woman heard this, she nodded extremely seriously.

"That's exactly what I thought."

I have to say that if a person is born beautiful, even being stupid is quite touching.

Han Shao smiled bitterly in his heart.

No wonder they say that Wenwen Township is always a Tomb of Heroes.

Even he, who was used to seeing Fengyue, couldn't help but feel a bit like slacking off for half a day.

But this thought only lasted for a moment before he killed it abruptly.

If you take half a day off today, maybe tomorrow the blade on your neck will be half a minute closer to you.

It's just too uneconomical.

So Han Shao finally struggled out of the gentle village.

In this regard, Yu Xuanji did not stop him, but silently put on a moon-white robe for Han Shao.

"When will Mr. Lang stop working so hard?"

Han Shao laughed when he heard this.

“The higher you climb, the harder it is to walk on thin ice.”

Yu Xuanji lowered her head.

"What if you can give up this wealth and glory?"

She had stayed in the secret realm of Guanghan, which was quiet and deserted in the past, like a dead zone.

She never valued some of the extraneous things that ordinary women strive for.

Even now, in her eyes, as long as her husband is with her, there is nothing wrong with even the Guanghan secret realm that she hated so much at the beginning.

One world, two people.

No one will disturb you, which is the best.

Regarding the woman's almost innocent fantasy, Han Shao still gave her no hope.

"Can't bear to part with it."

The world in a woman's eyes is ultimately different from the world in a man's eyes.

Han Shao remembered that Jiang Wan had said similar words to him before.

What his answer was then, is still the same now.

Because they don't know that the so-called glory and wealth are just derivatives of certain things.

If Han Shao wanted to give up at this time, he would not be giving up any glory or wealth.

But wealth and life.

Don't forget, the excellent 'talent' in him in the eyes of others is not only the unparalleled help that sends him straight into the blue sky, but also the shocking thunder that can drag him into the endless hell.

One day, his value is no longer in the eyes of some old monsters.

This shocking thunder can blow him to pieces.

The common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade!
This principle is applicable everywhere.

Han Shao also kept himself alert.

……

Come out of the back house.

Before Han Shao could sit down in the study, he heard Lu Yan coming to report.

"Master Marquis, people from the Chen family in Zhuojun are here to visit."

Han Shao was not surprised and just smiled.

"It's quite early."

Then the ancestor of the Chen family led Chen Shu into the study to pay his respects.

Han Shao didn't even look at the generous gift from the other party and tapped his fingers on the table.

"How was the discussion last night?"

"Is the Chen family of Zhuojun willing to be used by me?"

Before the Zheng family in Yuyang was eliminated, Han Shao still needed to use some tricks and go around in circles.

But now all he needs to do is get straight to the point.

Because the other party has no choice.

Sure enough, hearing Han Shao's strong tone, the ancestor of the Chen family glared at Chen Shu beside him.

If he wasn't a 'good son and grandson', he would act recklessly.

How could the Chen family of Zhuojun be in such a desperate situation today?
Chen Shu was also very innocent about this.

It is not that he is disloyal to the family, nor does he fail to consider the interests of the family.

But if he doesn't do it, he will die.

If you do it, you will live.

At the moment of life and death, he has no choice.

The ancestor of the Chen family naturally knew Chen Shu's difficulties, but understanding was one thing, and being angry in his heart was another.

The matter has come to this, and it is useless to say more.

Sighing helplessly in his heart, the ancestor of the Chen family lowered his eyes and handed over his hands.

"The Chen family of Zhuojun is willing to be driven by the king!"

Like Gongsun Xun, he was only called a prince.

Han Shao didn't care either.

He stared at the ancestor of the Chen family for a while, and then suddenly gave an order.

"In that case, go help me to kill all the rebellious people of the Yuyang Zheng family who have forgotten their ancestors and betrayed their own clan!"

"Well done, this is a great achievement for you, Zhuojun Chen."

"can not do well……"

Han Shao tapped his fingers on the table, not letting go.

The words also stopped abruptly.

It gave the ancestor of the Chen family ample room for imagination.

The ancestor of the Chen family, who was already on the pirate ship, had a gloomy look on his face for a while, but finally he praised slumpedly.

"Here."

……
