I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 190 Market Ranger! farewell! I’ll give you a piece of my hometown!

After finishing the meal, Han Shao summoned Li He and others again.

After explaining, Lu Yan came back.

Han Shao did not ask how Yu Xuanji was settling in, and directly asked them to invite Linghu An's messenger servant.

As soon as they met, Han Shao stepped forward and said with a smile.

"The envoy came from afar, and I did not greet him well. Please forgive me."

When Linghu An's servant heard this, he didn't even dare to say anything.

The army left the city too early in the morning and he didn't know it.

But when he returned to the city at night, there was a lot of movement, so he naturally saw it.

Just now I couldn't hold back my curiosity and asked the champion Hou's confidant.

I thought the other party wouldn't answer.

But he didn't expect that Lu Yan, who was the commander of the Champion Hou's army, would tell him so readily.

Today, the Marquis personally led them to defeat a famous sect that has been passed down for thousands of years!

And by the way, several wealthy families were uprooted.

Unexpectedly, Linghu An's servant, who did not expect that the army would come in and out, and do such a big thing in just one day, was suddenly shocked.

He couldn't help but feel a bit of awe and fear towards the seemingly young champion.

"The servant is of low status, but the champion is busy with his affairs, so there is no need to take care of the servant."

Han Shao laughed heartily.

"Don't belittle yourself. I think that although you were born as a slave, your facial features are pure and your abilities are certainly good."

"My lord, if you are willing to go into dangerous situations and travel thousands of miles without complaining, you can be said to be loyal and brave!"

"If it weren't for the fact that I and Lord Linghu are close friends, and a gentleman doesn't take what others like."

"I really want to keep you here in Liaocheng for my use."

What Han Shao said was not a lie.

Today's Dayong is no longer the time of peace and prosperity.

Thousands of miles away from the divine capital to Zhenliao City, there are many dragon ponds and tiger dens.

Linghu An can let him come here alone without any other reason than trust.

This slave's ability is not much different.

Facing Han Shao's unabashed praise and appreciation, the slave said.

"Your Majesty, thank you very much for your kindness."

But the glorious look on his face still inevitably revealed his joyful mood.

Everyone likes to be praised.

Especially the praise from those in high positions always makes people feel a bit like "a scholar will die for his confidant".

Han Shao's words immediately made the slave less afraid of him and more close to him.

And this is exactly what Han Shao wants.

After some small talk, Han Shao introduced Li He and others to each other.

"Although I have only met Lord Linghu once, I feel like we meet at such a late age!"

"Lord Linghu has worked so hard for me, and I really feel sorry for you."

"After thinking about it, I suddenly remembered that these people under my command are quite capable, so how about asking them to come to their senses with you?"

When the slave hears this, he is free to do anything.

When he came, Linghu An had told him that if the champion had other plans, he would just listen to him.

So he patted his chest and said that he would bring them safely to his lord.

Han Shao was overjoyed when he heard this.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, he gave this slave a generous gift, even though the slave refused to take it.

Still forced it on him.

Under such a double bombardment of fame and fortune first, the slave's eyes turned red.

If you are not a loyal servant, you will not serve the two masters.

He really had the urge to die for it.

……

evening.

Li He hurriedly made some handovers with Bank of China.

On the second day, the sky was not yet white.

They then set off with Linghu An's servant.

After traveling for a while, Li He, who was riding in the lead, suddenly reined in his horse and took a deep look back at Zhenliao City behind him.

It seems that this city will be imprinted in my heart forever.

Once I leave, I don’t know when I will come back.

He was even ready to leave and never come back.

Haojing, the capital of the gods, is the heart of Yong Dynasty.

At the same time, all the heroes gathered together.

Naturally, there are also tigers and wolves running rampant.

Although my group is barely strong, in a place like the capital of God, they are just slightly bigger ants.

If you are not careful, life and death are just a matter of a thought.

Li He sighed in his heart, turned to look at the people around him, and said suddenly.

"It's hard to predict whether you will live or die when you go to the capital of the gods. If you regret it, it's not too late. I can help you ask for a favor in front of the Marquis and give you a chance to regret it."

When Li He said this, his tone was soft, but an undetectable cold light flashed in his eyes.

If they have just set out, these people will be afraid and want to retreat.

Don't blame him, Li Hyuk, for ignoring his old feelings and killing him.

He was good friends with these people in the past.

Although it can't be said to be a life-long friendship, there is still some affection.

It's just that this matter is of great importance. If they ruined the Marquis's affairs, even if Li He died, he would not be able to escape the blame.

So...if he himself dies, others will naturally die too!

The few people who didn't know that Li He was testing them felt immediately as if they were humiliated after hearing what Li He said.

He said with a blushing face.

"Admiral! Are you looking down on us?"

"That's right! Although the Admiral is our superior officer now, in the past, we were treated like brothers!"

"What? You look down on us now? Do you think we are those who are greedy for life and afraid of death?"

"Yes! What's more, even if I don't care about your face, Admiral, the Marquis has been so kind to us. If we can't die for it, wouldn't we be human?"

An era when martial arts prevailed.

Always gives birth to a unique group.

That's the streetwalker.

If you are brave and fight ruthlessly, you will kill people if you are jealous.

Although martial arts resources in this world are monopolized, these street warriors who hang around at the bottom are destined to never become popular.

But some things at the core are the same.

Keep your promise but take your death lightly!

In their opinion, these people's lives are worthless.

But this time when they went south to the divine capital, Han Shao not only gave them cultivation, but also allowed them to reborn and get a glimpse of a realm they could only imagine before.

Even gold and silver goods are not in short supply.

This alone was enough to buy them hundreds of lives in the past.

In addition, in order to reassure them, they were assured that if they died, they would be treated like martyrs trapped in the camp.

Not only are the elderly parents in the family supported, but even the children are properly arranged.

With such careful consideration.

In a sense, they are already dead soldiers.

Even if you die a hundred times, you will never regret it!

Li He listened to everyone's rather unhappy words and looked at everyone calmly for a while.

Then he hurriedly apologized with a smile, and even lowered himself to do some walking.

"After leaving this town of Liaocheng, there will be no admiral."

"From now on, let's talk by age. They are all older than Li. In the past, he was Li's brother. From now on, he will also be Li's brother!"

Upon hearing this reminder, several people immediately understood what Li He meant.

He immediately agreed readily.

"it is good!"

Li He laughed when he saw this.

"In this way, Li will be grateful to all brothers for taking care of him in the future."

"When we return to this town of Liaocheng in the future, Li will book a table at the Zhenbei Building, and we will not return until we get drunk with you brothers!"

After hearing this, several people also laughed.

Show your heroic spirit.

But just when they were about to ride on their horses, there was a sudden movement at the city gate, which was already quite far away.

Listening to the sound of horse hooves coming from the city gate.

The leader, Li He, was slightly startled, then turned his head and looked away.

I saw several figures of horsemen passing through the gap in the city gate, riding into the thick fog and frost.

"You, Li He, are really impatient. You left so early, and I almost missed it."

The familiar voice coming from the void shocked Li He.

It's Mr. Hou!

Then he hurriedly turned over and dismounted.

The figures on horseback came very quickly, and rushed in front of the group of them before he could make any unnecessary reaction.

Li He quickly bowed down.

"I've met the Marquis!"

The same was true for several people behind him, including Linghu An's servant.

"I've met the Marquis!"

"I've seen the champion!"

Han Shao used his magical power to lift them up and signaled that they would not be polite.

After Li He got up, he saw Han Shao coming in a hurry. He hesitated and asked.

"Master Hou, do you have anything else to explain?"

Han Shao dismounted and walked up to them, shaking his head with a smile.

"No, it's just that the mountains are high and the road is long. I'm here to see you off."

Hearing this, not to mention Li He, several people behind him were also shocked.

The complicated mood caused by leaving home was like a flood that broke a dike, and his eyes instantly turned red.

"Master Hou...how to do this?"

Han Shao laughed and asked.

"Today is the end of the year, New Year's Eve. The day when you should be reunited with your family is still so tiring that you have to travel thousands of miles for me."

"I feel really ashamed of you, but now I am just giving you a gift. How can I not do this?"

This time Li Hyuk didn't wait for him to speak.

The few people who were born as wanderers in the market were the first to speak with enthusiasm.

"We are humble and humble people! We have received such great kindness from Lord Marquis. Even if we die, we will never be able to repay it!"

"How can Mr. Hou feel ashamed?"

"Yes! Don't worry, Lord Marquis! If we go to the capital of God, nothing will be done! All we have to do is die!"

Hearing these decisive words without hesitation.

Han Shao sighed and stepped forward to pat them on the shoulders.

"Don't open your mouth and talk to death."

"Live for me."

As he spoke, he suddenly smiled. "I just heard from this guy Li He that I would like to invite you to Zhenbei Tower for a drink when you come back?"

"Let's do this. When you come back, I will also treat you to a banquet."

"Instead of going to the restaurant, how about staying at my residence?"

A banquet at the Hou Mansion?

What an honor that would be for people like them?

I’m afraid I’ll be able to brag about it to future generations when I grow old!

Hearing Han Shao's words, several people from the Six Sects who were born as street knights became more and more excited.

When Han Shao saw this, he didn't say anything more.

"The mountains are high and the road is long, so I won't waste your time."

"The road ahead is steep, so be careful."

As he spoke, Han Shao paused for a moment and then said.

"Remember one thing, cherish your life."

Before daylight came out, the dignified Marquis Che saw him off in person.

There are only a few words, not a single sentence related to the mission.

On the contrary, he constantly emphasized that they should live and cherish their lives.

These street warriors who usually laughed and cursed and shouted all day long had a scar as big as a bowl on their head. I don’t know when they burst into tears.

I don’t know who it was, but the first one knelt down and kowtowed heavily regardless of the frozen soil on the ground.

"I'll say goodbye to you, Lord Marquis! Take care, Lord Marquis!"

Then came the second, third...

"Farewell, Lord Marquis! Take care, Lord Marquis!"

"Farewell, Lord Marquis! Take care, Lord Marquis!"

Han Shao had no choice but to step forward and help them up one by one.

Then suddenly his heart moved and he said.

"That's all. Before we say goodbye, I will give each of you something else..."

Everyone wanted to say, 'The reward given to us by the Marquis is already generous enough, there is no need to reward us any more. ’

But at this time, Han Shao smiled.

"I have already rewarded you with gold, silver and wealth, so I will not reward you anymore."

As he spoke, under everyone's puzzled gaze, he bent down and grabbed a handful of frozen soil from the ground, then dried it with real fire.

Then he tore off a piece of brocade clothing from the corner of his clothes, wrapped it in soil, and handed it over to one of them personally.

“Thousands of miles away from home, the mountains and rivers are far away, and I don’t know when I will return.”

"I will give you a piece of native land, so that you can have something to think about when you are homesick."

The man who received the soil tightly held the black dust that could be seen everywhere under his feet, as if he was holding a rare treasure worth thousands of gold.

There was a choked sound in his mouth.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis, for gifting me with this land!"

Han Shao smiled and patted his shoulder.

He ignored him and walked to the next person.

Repeated the actions just now.

He repeated what he just said.

Soon, his brocade clothes fell into pieces.

No longer luxurious.

It even looks a little funny.

But at this moment, no one found it funny.

This is true even for Linghu An's slave who has never been born into the earth.

At this time, he stared blankly at the parting scene in front of him.

In a daze, he vaguely felt that this champion prince was even more kingly than the princes of the Ji family he had seen from afar.

After waking up with a start, he hurriedly dismissed the terrible thought from his mind.

But now that some seeds have been planted, they may one day take root, sprout, bloom and bear fruit.

Han Shao finally walked up to Li He and asked with a smile, pointing to the broken clothes on his body.

"Isn't this lord very disgraceful right now?"

Li Helian said, "No! In my humble heart, the Marquis will always be the same Marquis who led us into battle!"

Han Shao smiled.

He once again grabbed a piece of black soil from the ground with his own hands.

After following the instructions, he did not directly tear off the brocade clothes.

Instead, tear off a piece from the close-fitting lining.

Li He, who was about to catch the soil with both hands, was shocked when he saw this.

"Master Hou! No!"

Han Shao had already wrapped up the soil and shook his head with a smile.

"Li He, you remember."

"My dignity does not lie in my clothes, my position, or my power!"

"It's up to you! Only with you can I be truly dignified!"

"Do you understand what I said?"

Hearing Han Shao's words, Li He suddenly thought of the 'power theory' Han Shao told them when they broke out of the siege.

He was nodding his head slowly.

But I heard Han Shao give an order.

"Li Hyuk! Take the soil!"

Almost instinctively, Li Hyuk knelt down on one knee and raised his hands.

"I have a humble position, Li He. Thank you so much for the land, Lord Marquis!"

Han Shao took his arm and pulled him up.

"Li Jing, I am the humerus! So are you!"

"You should encourage me!"

After saying that, he ignored Li He's red and shocked eyes.

He glanced at everyone present and said in a deep voice.

"Although the city of God is good, it is not my hometown."

"My eyes are dazzled by the prosperity, I hope everyone will remember the way home!"

"Go and don't look back!"

All of a sudden.

Ten riders, including Linghu Anna's slave, got on their horses.

The leader, Li Hyuk, like everyone else, holds the country in his arms like a treasure.

The horse rode for some time.

Although the Marquis just said that they should not look back.

But in the end, they still disobeyed the order and turned to look at the tall figure in the distance who had been watching them leave and never moved for a moment.

The ten cavalry men reined in their horses and stopped as if they had a telepathic connection.

Li He once again turned over and dismounted.

It is not the military salute of kneeling down on one knee, but kneeling down on both knees and then kowtowing heavily.

"Master Hou, please come back!"

"If Li He unfortunately fails to return, he will take the land that the Marquis gave him today as a guide! Come back in spirit!"

"You should fight for the Marquis in life! You should fight for the Lord in death!"

As he spoke, he kowtowed three times.

"Master Hou, take care! Li He is gone!"

Get up, turn around, mount.

All in one go!

In an instant, he led a group of people and disappeared into the thick fog and frost outside Zhenliao City.

Han Shao stared intently at the backs of Li He and others leaving.

I actually felt quite helpless.

For an existence like Six Doors, loyalty is always the most important thing.

Especially if it is spread out, it cannot be controlled, let alone guaranteed.

Han Shao gave enough benefits, but still felt a little unsafe.

After all, if something goes wrong later, false news will be spread at a critical moment.

It's probably a total loser.

But unfortunately, he is not like a certain existence in his previous life, holding great righteousness in his hands.

At this time, the only thing he can achieve the ultimate is his personal feelings.

But fortunately, so far, the effect is still somewhat effective.

For the follow-up, please take your time.

While he was lost in thought, Lu Yan took off his shirt and covered Han Shao's ragged clothes.

Then reminded in a low voice.

"Master Marquis, they have gone far, it's time for us to go back."

Han Shao came to his senses and said nothing.

At this time, a guard behind him sighed.

"The Marquis treats Li He like this. Even if he dies during this trip, his life will be worth it."

The guard said this purely out of emotion.

Thinking from his perspective, if he were Li He, even if the Marquis asked him to wipe his neck now, he would be willing to do so.

But after saying this, Lu Yan got a slap in his head.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Seeing this, Han Shao, who was originally in a dull mood, suddenly became a little amused.

He also gave the guy a slap in the face and scolded him with a smile.

"If you talk about death lightly again, you will be severely punished!"

The good guy smiled and said hurriedly.

Han Shao got on his horse and looked back into the distance again.

Three hundred and twelve.

These were the people who followed him across the grasslands.

Gongsun Xinyi took off his armor and prepared to look after his husband and teach his children.

Li He rode his horse southward, but he didn't know when he would return.

Half a month after returning, he left the two of them.

As the instigator, Han Shao felt a little sad for a moment.

But he soon became determined.

A time of great strife.

Aristocratic families, famous families, nobles of the Manchu dynasty, prime ministers, officials, horses, and chariots!

If you don’t advance, you can still retreat!

He, Han, was originally a small boy!

No way behind!

Only by moving forward courageously can there be a glimmer of hope!

Only then can he win the command as a pawn...!

Han Shao looked at the southwest divine capital with a faint gaze, and then turned around on his horse.

"Go back..."
