I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 332: A noble lady from an aristocratic family! She's eating this bowl of soft rice!
'help me? '

Han Shao played with the teacup in his hand and looked down at the woman in his arms.

A noble lady from an aristocratic family who was raised in a secluded boudoir in a wealthy family since childhood, her cultivation level is only at the Tianmen realm.

Talking about helping in front of a seventh-level true immortal who commands a hundred thousand people and has tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command.

This statement sounds somewhat shameless and makes people laugh.

Although Han Shao had a slightly playful smile on his face, there was no trace of sarcasm in his expression.

There are many smart women in this world, but the woman in front of me is obviously not one of them.

"My business..."

"Have you told anyone else?"

Since she had already pointed out those secrets that few people knew, Han Shao's unnecessary cover-ups would only make things more obvious and be too petty.

Hearing Han Shao's words, Chen Wenjun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

There was neither the expected rage nor the imagined coldness and indifference.

Just like the results I have pieced together and deduced over the past year.

No matter his character or scheming, the man next to him is far superior to those so-called Youzhou talents who can only brag about themselves but actually have nothing in their heads.

After secretly despising those people in his heart for a while, Chen Wenjun gently stroked the pink cheek of the man who was leaning in his arms, and said in a tender tone.

"No."

"This is my own secret, how could I be willing to share it with others?"

The 'others' she mentioned naturally included her father who regarded her as the apple of his eye, and the ancestor who was like a god in the eyes of the tribe members.

Anyway, what they need is just a most talented woman in Youbei who is good at writing, proficient in music, and can compose perfume.

As for the certain interests hidden behind the title of "the most talented woman in Youzhou", she enjoys them alone, which does not seem to be considered as disobedience or unfilial.

The woman in his arms had a sweet breath and her smooth face at his neck made Han Shao feel a little itchy.

Han Shao said helplessly as he stretched out his hand to stop the soft jade-like fingers that were slowly moving around his body.

"Don't bring disaster upon yourself."

Sure enough, contrasts are everywhere in this world.

Yu Xuanji, who is regarded as a "seductive woman" who seduces people in rumors, actually behaves dignified in private.

On the contrary, in the eyes of the world, this aristocratic woman, who should have been dignified, was extremely seductive.

Han Shao recited a passage of [Ice Heart Sutra] in his mind, and then he suppressed the flames of anger that were rising in his heart.

After pondering the words of the woman in his arms for a moment, he finally reacted.

I just asked a nonsense question.

If Chen Wenjun had really told these secrets to the Chen family's ancestors and others, the Chen family in Zhuo County would never be so passive today.

Not to mention that he took the initiative to suppress them before he could gain a foothold in this northern land.

I will definitely take precautions against myself in advance.

Thinking of this, Han Shao couldn't help but look at the woman in his arms with strange eyes again.

"Don't you regret it?"

If these secrets had been revealed to the clan earlier, perhaps the Chen family's ancestor would not have had to shamelessly send her to the Marquis' Mansion in order to protect the family.

The woman in his arms shook her head slowly, her eyes slightly blurred.

"There is nothing to regret. If not for this...how could I be living by your side like this today?"

If I have to say I'm unwilling, of course I am.

But I really can't say I regret it.

After all, she was very clear-headed. As long as the legitimate daughter of the Liaodong Gongsun existed, some of the fantasies she had once had would only be wishful thinking.

Under normal circumstances, as the legitimate daughter of a thousand-year-old family, it would be impossible for her to become someone else's concubine.

Rather than hiding in the dark and pursuing unrealistic fantasies like in the past, this is the best outcome for her now.

When Han Shao heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.

It's not that he hadn't thought about the fact that what Chen Wenjun said today was just a lie carefully fabricated to gain his trust.

But when he lowered his eyes and saw the undisguised infatuation in the woman's eyes, he still believed it.

This was because no Tianmen Realm cultivator could perform such a perfect disguise under the terrifying divine thoughts of a Seventh Realm True Immortal.

This is where Han is truly confident.

Rather than just relying on his face.

After thinking about it, Han Shao asked again.

"How did you find out these things when you stay in your boudoir?"

There is no impenetrable wall in this world. As long as you are determined, no matter how secretive your actions are, you cannot hide them all.

Although the status of a noble lady from an aristocratic family is honorable, the resources and manpower that she can actually mobilize are limited, if not nonexistent.

What's more, Chen Wenjun had to do all this away from the eyes and ears of her clansmen. Even close people like her father were kept in the dark and had no idea what she was doing in secret.

Just talking about these, even Han Shao couldn't help but feel amazed and curious in his heart.

After hearing what Han Shao said, Chen Wenjun slowly got up from Han Shao's arms with a bit of woman's laziness.

He then poured Han Shao another cup of tea and spoke softly.

"reputation."

These two words are too thin and too illusory.

In many cases, it has no practical meaning or value.

But it also depends on who is using it and how they are using it.

Seeing Han Shao listening attentively, Chen Wenjun smiled faintly.

"My dear, do you know that I am known as the most talented woman in Youbei?"

A hint of just the right amount of confusion flashed across Han Shao's eyes.

Over the past year, he has been so overwhelmed and walking on thin ice. How could he have the mind to pay attention to a woman?
Seeing this, Chen Wenjun was neither disappointed nor angry.

The extraordinary man who could catch her eye must be a hero in the world.

He traveled all over the place when on horseback and governed a region when on foot. How could he be like those mediocre and stupid people who only knew how to boast about themselves and brag to each other all day long and only focus on girls like them?

"It doesn't matter if you don't know."

As he spoke, Chen Wenjun winked at Han Shao and laughed.

"It's all blown up anyway."

What is good at writing poetry and proficient in music.

The area of ​​Youzhou has always been a place where martial spirit prevails and the people are tough.

With this foundation, it is natural that the same is true for these aristocratic families.

Chen Wenjun was just trying to bully these Youzhou noble families who had not seen the world.

Compared with the noble ladies from the Jiangnan region where literature flourished, she felt that she was no match for them.

However, this did not prevent her from gradually gaining such a great reputation in the Youbei area and even the whole Youzhou by relying on this "differentiated competition".

Of course, the Chen family of Zhuo County was also instrumental in this.

After all, to put it more coldly, these noble ladies from aristocratic families have been like commodities since the day they were born.

If you want to sell your goods at a high price, or even make them rare, this reputation is naturally indispensable.

Hearing Chen Wenjun's frank self-joking words and seeing her playful expression that she inadvertently revealed, Han Shao couldn't help but smile.

"Just blown up? Madam, you are being modest."

"Although I am not familiar with music, the song that Madam sang softly beside my ear just now was quite pleasant to the ear."

"It lives up to its reputation."

Well, he is indeed proficient in music.

Chen Wenjun was stunned when she heard that. When she reacted, her cheeks turned red and she spat at him lightly.

Trying hard to put aside some of the charming but rather unbearable images in her mind, Chen Wenjun continued to explain to Han Shao.

Her fame was so great that not only were the noble ladies vying to be her friends.

The sons of noble families flocked to her, the "most talented woman in Youbei", and even worshipped her as a goddess.

In fact, she doesn't need to take the initiative to find out a lot of information.

Often she only had to feign curiosity and start a conversation, and someone would offer her everything they knew as if they were offering a treasure.

What she had to do was to sort out these scattered pieces of information, whether true or false, in a dark room, and then unravel them, verify and deduce them from each other.

Finally, summarize and summarize the results.

Many seemingly ordinary news can reveal things that ordinary people cannot see.

Han Shao pretended to listen attentively, and the joking look in his eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by a rare seriousness.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have picked up a treasure by accident.

Not to mention her ability to collect intelligence silently, just the fact that she can find what she wants from the disorganized information, and then summarize and sort it out, can be called a genius.

As for talented people, regardless of gender or relationship, he, Han, has always respected and honored them.

So the next moment, in front of Chen Wenjun's surprised and surprised eyes, he stepped forward and snatched the thermos in her hand that was about to refill his tea.

"Madam, you have just worked hard on the bed and you are not feeling well. Please rest first."

As he spoke, he personally cleaned a teacup, filled it with tea, and handed it to Chen Wenjun.

"Madam, please! I am not in a hurry, let's talk while we drink."

What do you mean by "I am a marquis or not"?
It's okay to act arrogantly in front of outsiders, but in front of your own woman, you should call her "husband"!
Otherwise it would be too unfamiliar! Facing Han Shao's sudden action, Chen Wenjun was obviously a little flustered.

But when she met Han Shao's serious and burning gaze, she could only hesitantly take the teacup and stammer.

"I…I thank you, my lord."

Han Shao looked displeased.

"What are you thanking me for? We're family! Isn't it a bit awkward to be polite to your husband?"

"Don't do this next time!"

With a husband on the left and a husband on the right, Chen Wenjun couldn't help feeling a little overwhelmed.

And those three simple words "family" made Chen Wenjun's big and bright eyes turn slightly red for some unknown reason.

Han Shao hurried forward to comfort him.

"Why are you crying for no reason? Is the tea too hot?"

As he spoke, he took the soft jade-like finger in front of him, examined it carefully, and took a sip from the teacup in Chen Wenjun's hand.

After drinking it, he seemed to react and said with a look of self-blame.

"Madam, you won't dislike your husband, right?"

Such exaggerated and deliberate actions would obviously look fake to outsiders.

We should even denounce their hypocrisy and affectation.

But Chen Wenjun is not one of those outsiders, she is a woman.

Knowing that her husband was able to sacrifice his dignity to coax her, her heart would be filled with sweetness and she would not be able to see anything else.

"I don't dislike you, my lord."

After saying this, he imitated Han Shao and drank the remaining tea in the cup.

Then she bit her thin lips lightly, trying hard to suppress her emotions, and then looked at Han Shao with her watery eyes.

"My dear husband, you have treated me very well. I am deeply grateful, so I shed tears."

Han Shao sighed.

"It's my husband's fault."

Seeing Han Shao's attitude of admitting his mistake as soon as they disagreed, Chen Wenjun subconsciously panicked and wanted to say something.

But when she thought of this arrogant champion marquis and the number one immortal in the Jiazi period in the eyes of outsiders, behaving like this in front of a woman like her, Chen Wenjun suddenly couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"My dear husband, you are always tricking an ignorant woman like me..."

Ignorant woman?

you are too humble.

If a woman like you is considered ignorant, then what are those talented men in Youzhou who are being driven around by you and know nothing about it?
Han Shao felt emotional.

At this moment, he suddenly recalled that the bandits from the Six Gates had informed on him several months ago.

During that period, many children of noble families were always intentionally or unintentionally trying to find out the news about Champion City and even the grassland trade routes.

Han Shao thought at the time that those noble families could not help but want to attack him.

Now it seems that there is indeed someone who wants to "take action" against him, but that person is not one of the noble families.

But it was the seemingly weak and inconspicuous noble lady Chen in front of him.

And the purpose of those children from noble families is not for their own families or sects.

Perhaps he just realized that the most talented and beautiful woman in Youbei seemed to be interested in Champion City, so he racked his brains to find an opportunity to please her.

It’s a pity that they chose the wrong person.

Thinking of this, Han Shao looked at Chen Wenjun who had a pouty look on her face, and suddenly felt that those children from noble families who had "accidentally fallen and died" because of this were really wronged.

I won’t say I will be smarter in my next life, but at least I will be more accurate in judging women.

A dog licker will not talk about it until he has nothing left.

He will not die a good death.

Seeing Han Shao suddenly stop talking when he looked at her, Chen Wenjun put away her pretended pouting expression and spoke with some caution.

"Lang Jun, what's wrong?"

Han Shao no longer thought about the nobles who were murdered by the Six Gates, and pulled the jade-like beauty in front of him into his arms.

"nothing."

As he spoke, he reached out and gently lifted that smooth, pointed chin.

"Madam, please continue. I am listening."

It's easy to find out about things on the grassland.

After all, all the noble families of Youbei participated in the caravans heading to the grassland, and the Chen family of Zhuo County was the largest family besides the Zheng family of Yuyang.

But it is not so easy to find out about Shendu and the people he sent to several southern states.

Han Shao guessed that she had other means.

What surprised Han Shao was that Chen Wenjun, who had just spoken frankly in front of him without any reservation, became a little hesitant after hearing what he said.

Han Shao pretended to be magnanimous.

"If you don't want to talk about it, forget it. It's not too late to talk about it later."

Retreat to advance, although it is old-fashioned, it works.

Chen Wenjun, who had been a little hesitant just now, hurriedly said.

"It's not that I don't want to say it, it's just... it's just that I'm worried..."

Chen Wenjun said this in a weak and cautious voice.

"My...meanings were not fair, and I am worried that you will be disgusted with me...disgusted with me after hearing them."

Han Shao smiled, and his smile was full of encouragement and affirmation.

"You and I are one, although we are not husband and wife, but in my eyes, as long as you enter my house, you are my concubine, and I will never treat you unfairly."

"How could I be so disgusted with someone because of such a small matter and become a shameless person who is ungrateful and unfaithful?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Wenjun breathed a sigh of relief and then gritted his teeth and said.

"I have secretly raised some assassins!"

They are not retainers, they are assassins!

A hint of surprise flashed across Han Shao's eyes.

Because not everyone can keep a group of death warriors, let alone train them easily.

Relying solely on money and favors can only support retainers.

Can’t raise any assassins!
"In addition... the largest brothel in Champion City, Yanbei Tower, was also jointly opened by me and some of my close friends."

Hearing this, Han Shao couldn't help but spit out the tea he had just poured into his mouth.

"What did you say?"

Chen Wenjun said timidly while hurriedly wiping the tea from the corner of Han Shao's mouth.

"My dear, if you don't want me to be involved in these dirty things, I will stop doing this right away. Don't let me make you sick..."

Han Shao opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

To be honest, I'm not angry.

More of it was shock and surprise.

After all, if he remembered correctly, Yanbei Tower was not only the largest brothel in his Guanjun City.

In this northern land, many county cities are also the largest.

Han Shao knew that these places of entertainment were always the most well-informed.

The Six Gates have also thought about extending their tentacles in.

However, before "sacrificing" the Yuyang Zheng family, the Six Gates' strength was limited.

Apart from the fact that the City of Gods was supported by Li He, the grassland and the south also took up too much energy and strength of the Six Gates.

So after trying a few times, seeing that the forces behind Yanbei Tower were too complicated, he just gave up temporarily.

Now that he heard Chen Wenjun talk about this, Han Shao felt as if things had suddenly become clear.

When a group of noble ladies get together, they not only represent themselves, but also their natal families and in-laws' families are involved and entangled with each other.

Can it be uncomplicated?
Seeing Chen Wenjun handing him tea with a flattering look on his face, Han Shao drank it all in one gulp and calmed himself down.

"Anything else? Tell me all at once."

The pitiful eldest daughter of the Chen family said carefully.

"In addition to Yanbei Tower, I have also accumulated a few shops over the years, which can barely be considered as some wealth..."

"If you are short of military supplies, I can help you out."

Aid?

What a loud tone!
Han Shao laughed.

People who have never maintained an army always think that it is easy, but they don’t know that the figure is astronomical.

"How much can your little private savings be? Keep it for your own use..."

But when Chen Wenjun spit out that number, Han Shao suddenly changed the subject.

"Aiji, wait a moment. I'll call Zhou Xuan over!"
