I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 350 Father and Son! The Royal Army! Killing Gongsun Du!
"The Xiao family of Zhongshan has found a successor..."

An old Zhenliao general sighed softly.

Upon hearing this, the other people around him nodded silently in agreement.

During this time, several people including the veteran exchanged glances with each other again, and then whispered to each other.

"You and I should protect them a little."

"good."

"good."

The cultural tradition of Youzhou was not prosperous, and most of the noble families were military families.

However, unlike the cultural tradition of letting a hundred flowers bloom, military men from military families prefer to stick together.

This is also related to the special nature of the military.

So although they envied Lao Xiao, they were not jealous.

Even happy to see it happen.

After all, at their age now, it’s time to consider the inheritance of their ancestral business.

When Xiao Wulang grows up completely, the incense and offerings they add today will sooner or later turn into a solid force that protects the safety and wealth of their descendants.

This is the tacit understanding developed over countless years among all military families.

It is also the true secret that has been passed down from generation to generation.

In other words, as long as their power is not completely uprooted.

Even if only one descendant of a family or surname is left, they can still make a comeback with this.

Gongsun Du was well aware of the little thoughts of his generals.

This world is made up of circles of varying sizes.

When the circle you are in is big enough, it is inevitable that small circles will form within it.

At this time, all you have to do is to ensure that these small circles always revolve around you with you as the core.

There is a saying that goes 'there are no factions within the party, and there are all kinds of weird things'.

Although Gongsun Du had never heard of this sentence, some of the principles are common.

But he was too lazy to worry about these things now, because these messy things would be something that the boy would have to worry about in the future.

He actually doesn't have a strong desire for power.

My lifelong dream when I was young was to become an unrivaled general on the battlefield and show off my manliness.

As I grow older, my past passion has been dampened by the chaos of the world.

Now he only wanted to finish this battle peacefully, and then, as that boy said, use this merit and record as bargaining chips to completely sever the relationship between Mulan and the son of the Ji family.

After she marries that boy, he can enjoy his life with his grandchildren.

But what he may not know is that a certain old man who is working hard for his good son once thought the same way.

But what about now?
When Gongsun Zhi's figure became real in front of Gongsun Du, Gongsun Du waved his hand and asked the generals around him to retreat.

Then he stood up and bowed respectfully to Gongsun Zhi.

"Thank you for your hard work, father."

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Zhi couldn't help but roll his eyes at his grown-up son.

"There's no need to say nice things in front of your father."

"When it comes to sweet talk, you can't compare to your good son-in-law."

Looking at his father's frosty white hair, Gongsun Du said with some shame.

"It is because the child is incompetent that the father has to work so hard for the child."

Gongsun Zhi sat down in Gongsun Du's seat without any manners.

"No, you have the ability."

"The greatest asset you have in this life is having a good father like me."

Hearing these sarcastic words coming out of Gongsun Zhi's mouth, Gongsun Du's usually dignified face turned slightly red.

At this moment, he was just glad that he had the foresight to send others away.

This finally saved some face.

However, he also knew that his old father was just complaining out of habit, so he didn't take it to heart.

He just pretended to be listening and receiving training, with a very respectful attitude.

However, his attitude made Gongsun Zhi feel powerless.

He glared at him fiercely and muttered to himself indignantly.

"I was born to be a hard worker. Not only will I be your slave for the rest of my life, but I will also have to take care of your son-in-law when I am old."

"What a sin!"

After saying that, he picked up the tea that Gongsun Du had not finished and drank it all in one gulp.

Well, there aren't so many fussies between father and son.

Then he corrected his color.

"I can't enter Champion City."

Gongsun Zhi said in a deep voice.

"That mad dog Shibi has really entered the eighth realm. Although he did not directly use the secret realm of the law domain, his aura of a celestial being cannot be faked."

When Gongsun Zhi said this, his expression couldn't help but look a little sad.

Looking back at last year, Shi Bi had no choice but to give in under the joint intimidation of him and Zhao Yanzhi.

But in the blink of an eye, he no longer had the qualifications to even stand in front of that bastard.

This is the monk.

Each level of realm is a new level of heaven.

The seventh realm and the eighth realm seem to be separated by only one realm, but in fact they are separated by heaven and earth.

No matter how great the so-called "immortal" is, it is not greater than "heaven".

In that secret realm of the heaven and man, no matter how powerful you are, or how long you can travel with a somersault, you will be nothing but a toss in the palm of its hand.

The backhand will be suppressed.

Gongsun Du's face darkened when he heard this.

Even if news of some things has been received a long time ago, people will still feel a little bit of luck before it is thoroughly confirmed.

Gongsun Du was naturally no exception.

From the moment Wang Ni of Shibi did not appear in the face of the barbarian army outside the city, Gongsun Du knew that things were bad.

This meant that some of the arrangements he had made previously had been completely in vain.

"The bastard didn't come to attack my residence, but instead went to bully a younger generation! He is really not a human being!"

Gongsun Du was so angry that he released his breath and directly shattered the table next to him into pieces.

After pacing back and forth for a while, Gongsun Du frowned.

"What was the situation in Champion City like when father returned?"

Gongsun Zhi did not hide anything and spoke directly.

"The barbarian dogs are attacking very fast, with hundreds of thousands of troops marching day and night."

Having said that, Gongsun Zhi thought for a moment and said again.

"But their fighting methods are roughly the same as those in Langju City."

"It's just that... the strength of the barbarian dog over there is obviously stronger than that over here."

Whether it is ordinary soldiers or the number of strong men.

Even Gongsun Zhi would be frightened when he saw the strength of the barbarian dogs in Guanjun City.

But this did not surprise Gongsun Du.

The locations of Langju and Guanjun cities serve as guard posts.

As long as one corner is broken, the remaining city will be easy to deal with.

Although the mad dog is crazy, it is not stupid. It will definitely concentrate its strongest strength to break one of them first.

However, Gongsun Du did not expect that given Shi Bi's arrogant character, he would actually leave his old rival behind and head straight for Guanjun City.

And now these barbarians outside Langju City are obviously chess pieces used by Shi Bi to contain Gongsun Du.

"In my father's opinion, how long can Champion City last?"

When Gongsun Du said this, he did not conceal the anxiety and worry that had been hidden in his heart for many days.

Although he also knew that Han Shao also held a lot of cards in his hand, who could blame that kid for starting too late and for too short a time?

In just less than a year, even with that bizarre talent, how much power can be accumulated?
If anything unexpected happened, he wouldn't know how to explain it to Mulan.

He himself would definitely not be able to accept it. Seeing Gongsun Du's anxious look, Gongsun Zhi couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

There is a saying that goes, thatched houses are built every year and are taken care of by one generation after another.

Perhaps because Gongsun Xinyi was a woman, some things could not be seen in the past.

It was not until Han Shao showed up that Gongsun Zhi finally saw the hard work of a parent in Gongsun Du.

But Gongsun Zhi immediately burst out laughing.

"How long it can last, I can't say."

"But in my opinion, you may have underestimated your good son-in-law."

Gongsun Du was stunned when he heard Gongsun Zhi's words.

Then Gongsun Zhi continued.

"Although I only watched the battle from a distance, I didn't get too close."

"But as of now, that kid is very stable."

"During this period, we even won a few small victories."

When Gongsun Zhi left, it happened that Han Shao's real core troops were marching out of the city, using more than a thousand cavalry to fight against Wuhuan's ten thousand dragon cavalry.

The terrifying fighting power unleashed by both sides in that battle was so terrifying that even Gongsun Zhi, who had commanded troops in the past, could not help but secretly smack his lips in amazement.

And one can't help but compare it with the Baima Yicong, which is the foundation of the Gongsun clan in Liaodong.

The final conclusion was that the 10,000 inhuman Karasuma Dragon Riders were enough to match the same number of White Horse Volunteers!

However, such a powerful barbarian cavalry was defeated by the Xianzhen Camp, which had only one tenth of their number!
And it was a complete defeat!
Especially when the 300 heavily armored cavalrymen who served as the vanguard, holding horse lances several feet long, launched a charge and broke into the enemy formation, it was like a long blade tearing through the void.

Invincible and unstoppable!
Gongsun Zhi's thoughts turned to this and he couldn't help but sigh.

"That kid is an anomaly. He cannot be judged by common sense."

"Also, you don't have to worry too much about that mad dog Shi Bi. Don't forget..."

As he spoke, Gongsun Zhi paused for a moment, then looked at Gongsun Du with a strange look.

"That kid has now 'climbed' onto a higher branch besides our Liaodong Gongsun!"

High branch?

Hearing what Gongsun Zhi said, Gongsun Du suddenly thought of something.

He no longer cared about worrying about someone, and his face instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

But after a moment, Gongsun Du sighed helplessly.

"It's not entirely his fault..."

"Who could have thought that the old man would be so shameless that he would resort to such despicable means to scheme against a junior without caring about his dignity?"

If Gongsun Du said he was not angry or resentful when talking about this matter, it would be a lie.

After all, her daughter hadn't even gotten married yet, but someone else had taken over her and even secretly made her pregnant.

If this happened to any father-in-law in the world, I'm afraid he would not be able to tolerate it.

It's just that I can't blame anyone for this.

After all, I was only at the Yuanshen realm at that time, how could I resist the scheme of an old man who was at the top of the ninth realm?
And if we really want to talk about this matter...

His father and his father-in-law...don't they have any responsibility?
You have to know that if their future grandson-in-law or granddaughter-in-law was done... that thing right under their noses, if this matter gets out, they will probably be ridiculed by the whole world for the rest of their lives.

Gongsun Zhi also felt very wronged when facing the resentment hidden in Gongsun Du's eyes.

Fuck!
An old immortal at the peak of the ninth realm is secretly doing tricks, how could your father-in-law and I, two mere seventh realm immortals, detect it?

Fortunately, this matter is not a big deal, nor is it a bad thing.

After all, he is just an illegitimate child with no name or status.

Even if he is forced to be given a status in the future, at best he will be a concubine's eldest son.

Although the news would make the Liaodong Gongsun feel a little embarrassed, it undoubtedly brought them a strong ally.

Look, there is the Eight Realms Heavenly Being from the Holy Mountain guarding the Champion City.

At least they don't have to worry too much about the battle situation in Champion City, which will suddenly change overnight because of the sudden attack of that mad dog Shi Bi.

Gongsun Du obviously understood this as well.

After a slightly awkward silence, Gongsun Du still felt a little worried.

"In my opinion, can the old immortal in the Holy Mountain be trusted?"

After all, before last year, the Holy Mountain Temple had a close relationship with the Wuhuan tribe.

In the blink of an eye, the position suddenly changed. Who can be truly at ease?

But after hearing this, Gongsun Zhi shook his head.

"You don't trust the old man from the Holy Mountain, so you can't trust that kid either?"

As he said this, Gongsun Zhi couldn't help but snort.

"That guy is smarter than you think."

“If he doesn’t have some confidence, would he dare to put that Saint Mountain Eight Realms beside him?”

Gongsun Du heard this and thought about it.

When has that kid ever suffered any loss along the way?

Furthermore, ever since Han Shao broke through and became an immortal, Gongsun Du had been feeling that he could no longer see through him.

For example, during that trip to the clan land, he had no idea what he discussed privately with the ancestor.

Later, Shangguan Ding suddenly came to Youzhou and left in a hurry.

Gongsun Du also had no idea what happened during that time.

Even this time, this dirty thing that I am ashamed to talk about, this kid played a trick on me.

It was not until the day before the war that he brought a secret letter with earnest words to inform Gongsun Du of the whole story.

He said that he was afraid of being blamed, but in fact Gongsun Du could feel that this guy was probably worried that if he knew too many secrets, he might be deeply involved in them and bring disaster upon himself.

He was waiting. After this battle, when he had accumulated enough strength, many things would fall into place naturally.

This was also the last sentence Han Shao left in the secret letter.

Gongsun Du was somewhat annoyed by this, but he could only smile bitterly.

All along, he has always appeared in front of that boy with a tough attitude to protect him from the wind and rain.

Therefore, the reason why these words were not said to me in person but sent through a secret letter was simply because he was afraid of losing face.

Thoughts kept turning over in Gongsun Du's mind, then he looked at Gongsun Zhi and smiled, and then suddenly said something.

"Father, you are not as good as me."

Faced with the sudden words, Gongsun Zhi was stunned, and then became furious.

Just as he was about to say something, he heard Gongsun Du say with a sigh.

"Your son is not as good as my son. Do you think so, father?"

Son-in-law is half son.

What Gongsun Du said was not wrong.

But when Gongsun Zhi heard this, he felt that it was a bit strange.

But just when Gongsun Zhi was thinking hard about how to refute this, the powerful spiritual perception of a seventh-level True Immortal suddenly gave rise to a sense of ominousness.

Gongsun Zhi's expression suddenly changed, and he looked towards the outside of the city.

At this moment, Gongsun Du's face suddenly turned gloomy.

Looking down from this attic on the city wall with an excellent view, one can see that in the distance, there is a huge barbarian army that is also endless, and gradually there is a wave of unusual movement.

It was a nine-headed demon bird banner that symbolized the supreme royal authority of the Youbei grassland.

And under the huge banner that was waving in front of the battle formation accompanied by the cold northern wind, a group of cavalry that was completely different from the surrounding barbarian armies, had crossed over the other armies and appeared silently in front of the battle formation.

The leading barbarian cavalry looked up at the top of Langju City and confronted Gongsun Du.

With just one glance, Gongsun Du recognized the other person's origin.

It was the strongest fighting force of the Karasuma, the Royal Tent Army, that was supposed to be guarding that mad dog Shibi!
Gongsun Du suddenly understood this.

Also laughed.

It turned out that Shibi did not ignore his old rival.

His goal has always been himself!
The so-called containment is nothing but a smoke screen.

"Another eighth level..."

Gongsun Zhi, who was standing aside, looked into the distance and suddenly sighed.
