I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 212 Uncle and nephew! Please give me a memorial!

The government office holds a banquet.

At the banquet, people were drinking and drinking, and there was some chatting and laughing from time to time.

There was no tension as expected, on the contrary it seemed extremely harmonious.

The young champion Hou Gao occupied the main seat, and the rumored concubine who was extremely beautiful was silently accompanying him.

It's just that the goddess has a calm look and a dignified demeanor, which is quite different from the rumored coquettishness.

The powerful men from various families who were kneeling opposite the generals who were trapped in the camp made a silent comment in their hearts and stopped looking at it.

At this time, they were thinking about what Han Shao had just said.

In other words, the so-called 'repay' he wanted.

Unlike the lion's big opening they expected, the conditions offered by the other party were not harsh.

It's even so simple that they feel like the other party is digging a hole for them again.

There was no extortion of huge sums of money or any rare treasures.

Just take everything in the city and return it to the champion house.

Then they will be redistributed by the champion house.

In addition, anyone who operates or trades in this city needs to pay full taxes to the Champion House.

All goods traded with the grassland must be confirmed and approved by the Champion House before they can pass.

Once prohibited items are found that are not allowed to be sold to the grassland, the Champion House will not only have the right to confiscate them all, but also impose a fine of more than ten times.

If the circumstances are serious, they may be punished with death!

Faced with all these restrictions, let alone agreeing before today.

I'm afraid if someone mentions it, they will be slobbered on their face, and then they will say hello and laugh at the other person's ignorance of life and death.

After all, they have long been accustomed to having no taboos in this remote northern land, so how could they be willing to be put on a leash for life?

But now facing the plain-faced figure above them, they began to think carefully.

After pondering for a while, they finally couldn't bear to part with the trade route in Champion City that they had been operating for many years.

In the hall which gradually became quiet, someone finally spoke up.

"If I act according to the rules of the Champion in the future, can the Champion guarantee that the tragic events of the past few days will not happen again?"

Han Shao took a sip of the wine served by Yu Xuanji and smiled lightly.

"I have the responsibility to defend the territory. The tragic incident yesterday was just because I had just arrived. I was not careful and allowed the barbarian dogs to take advantage of the loophole. It will never happen in the future."

"Not only that, since I have eaten your taxes, I have the obligation to protect the safety of your property."

"As long as you abide by my rules, in addition to the safety in the city, I can also ensure the safety of the hundreds of miles of business roads outside Champion City."

After hearing Han Shao's words, all the powerful men from each family looked at each other.

They did not expect the so-called Baili Business Road to be safe as Han Shao said, as long as nothing happened in this city.

So after a while of spiritual communication, they nodded.

"In this case, after I return, I will discuss it with the clan and give the champion an answer as soon as possible."

Han Shao smiled when he heard this.

"It doesn't matter, whether you agree or not, I'm just informing you."

Such overbearing and almost shameless words immediately made the boss of all the powerful people feel uncomfortable.

But they endured it.

After all, only people who talk about etiquette can talk about etiquette. Facing people like Han Shao, they can only curse inwardly.

'He is indeed a vulgar martial artist! '

Then put a smile on his face and continue tonight's banquet.

When the dinner was over, everyone from each family left together.

Han Shao did not move, and Li Jing and others in the hall did not leave either.

"Do you think they will agree?"

As one of the four people Han Shao relied on to make his fortune, Qi Shuo rarely showed his face.

Han Shao glanced at him and asked with a smile.

"Why don't you agree?"

Qi Shuo took a sip of wine and said hesitantly.

"Didn't we just kill their people? How can they tolerate this bad breath?"

In Qi Shuo's view, if someone killed his Pao Ze, he would have to take revenge even if his body was shattered into pieces.

How could he be like this, not only ignoring the blood feud, but also cooperating with the enemy?

Han Shao smiled and said nothing, turned to look at the other people kneeling below, and then asked.

"What do you think?"

Zhao Mu thought for a while and then answered.

"The thinking of these aristocratic families is different from that of us warriors. As long as there are enough benefits, face is not important, and hatred is naturally not important."

After hearing Zhao Mu's words, the generals in the hall suddenly felt that they were ruthless compared to them on the battlefield.

These high-ranking aristocratic families and local sects are the real cold-blooded ones.

After taking this opportunity to chat with the generals for a while, Han Shao asked them to retreat.

What surprised him was that Jiang Hu hesitated and stayed alone.

It seemed like he had something to say.

Han Shao thought he was a little dissatisfied with Yu Xuanji's existence.

Suddenly she touched the tip of her nose in embarrassment and waved Yu Xuanji back to the back office first.

Then he sat down next to Jiang Hu with a wine bottle in hand.

"Uncle, if you have something to say to Shao, you might as well say so."

Jiang Hu looked at Han Shao's luxurious Chehou Jinyi and twisted his body uncomfortably.

Upon seeing this, Han Shao personally gave Jiang Hu a glass of wine and smiled gently.

"Shao's life was saved by his uncle. Without his uncle, how would Shao be where he is today? Why should you and my uncle and nephew see each other?"

Hearing Han Shao's words, Jiang Hu picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp, using the strength of the wine to calm down his mind.

"Master Hou..."

Seeing this claim made Han Shao blush, Jiang Hu hesitated for a moment and finally changed back to his previous title, and then said.

"Brother Shao, don't think your uncle is pedantic."

"Uncle just thinks that what you did this time is a little inappropriate."

Hearing Jiang Hu's words, Han Shao was stunned for a moment and laughed.

"What's wrong? Please ask uncle to teach me."

Jiang Hu was filled with emotion when he saw that Han Shao was as respectful as ever in front of him.

After organizing his words, he spoke out his thoughts.

In his opinion, there was no need to kill the wealthy people in the city before.

Didn't sitting down and talking like this today solve the problem?

Facing Jiang Hu's questioning, Han Shao didn't look dissatisfied at all.

Because he knew Jiang Hu was not blaming himself, but just worried about himself.

I am afraid that I will suddenly become prominent and be blinded by my power and status, and I will eventually make a mistake that will lead to bitter consequences.

Han Shao looked at Jiang Hu and smiled faintly. He thought for a while and did not explain directly, but suddenly said.

"Uncle, do you still remember the dog that the Liu family next door had?"

Seeing Jiang Hu's stunned expression, Han Shao smiled.

"When I was a kid, every time I passed by Liu's house, the vicious dog would bark at me."

"Once I was passing by the Liu family carrying meat, and the vicious dog came up and bit the meat in my hand. No matter how I tried to scare it, it wouldn't let go."

"I had no choice but to pick up a wooden stick and hit it on the head so hard that it was bruised and bloody. Only then did it let go and save the piece of meat."

"That vicious dog only became truly respectful to me from then on."

Hearing this, Jiang Hu carefully reviewed Han Shao's words.

Only then did I understand.

These big families and sects today are the vicious dogs of the Liu family back then.

How could it be possible to spit out the meat bitten in the mouth easily?

You have to hit it on the head with a stick so hard that it breaks and bleeds, then it will let go and feel fear.

In other words, if it weren't for Han Shao, they would have almost slaughtered all their people.

If it weren't for Han Shao's divine thought, he would have beaten one of them to the sixth level half to death. How could people from these big clans and sects listen to Han so calmly?

How could it be so easy to show that you would abide by his rules?

Jiang Hu, who had woken up, stared blankly at the young man in front of him who he had watched grow up. He seemed familiar but a little unfamiliar.

After a short while, he suddenly smiled.

"Brother Shao has been very wise since he was a child. It's my uncle who is dull."

Han Shao smiled and gave Jiang Hu another drink, then raised the wine cup in his hand and touched it lightly with Jiang Hu.

"Shao is young and frivolous, and his uncle is mature and prudent. It is Shao's good fortune to have his uncle to protect him."

Jiang Hu felt ashamed when he heard this.

But then he seemed to have figured out something and laughed.

"As long as Brother Shao doesn't think his uncle is old and fatuous, even if he dies, he will help Brother Shao achieve a great career!"

With that said, he drank down the drink in his hand, stood up and left.

Han Shao looked at Jiang Hu's leaving figure and felt a little emotional in his heart.

His words were not false and polite.

Jiang Hu's existence was indeed his blessing.

At least it was him, Gongsun Xinyi, and Jiang Wan who made him feel that the world he was in at this time was not a simple upgrade game where he just rode horses and killed monsters.

After taking a sip of wine from the wine bottle, Han Shao said to the void.

"Are you ready to apologize?"

Zhongxing Gu stepped out of the void and respectfully handed over a document.

"Please take a look at it, Lord Marquis."

Han Shao shook his hands, and the memorial unfolded in front of him.

The barbarian cavalry breaks through the city, this matter is big or small.

Even if not many people died, it was impossible to pretend that nothing had happened.

Rather than being stabbed out by others, it is better to report it yourself.

As long as Emperor Taikang's trust in him still exists, it is naturally impossible to deprive him of his title.

It's just that the reputation accumulated previously has been tarnished.

However, with the five thousand barbarian heads to fill up, the impact will not be too great.

So after glancing at the contents of the memorial and seeing that there were no problems, Han Shao nodded.

"Just send it like this."

……

Time flies by in a blink of an eye.

The joy of the New Year seems to have come to an end in an instant.

It will always make people feel a bit sad and unfinished in their hearts.

Haojing, the capital of the gods.

As a low-level official, Zhao Qian looked at the imperial city shrouded in thin morning mist and recalled the excitement of the past few days, and he was in a trance for a moment.

This year coincides with Jinshang’s ascension to Jiazi.

During the New Year, a lively celebration is naturally inevitable.

It's just that after the prosperity fades, life must still be lived.

The common people are like this, and so is he, a humble official.

With some reluctance, Zhao Qian finally came to the Yamen.

"Such repetitive days day after day, year after year, I really don't know when it will end..."

If he comes from a noble family, there is still hope for him in the court.

As long as he lasts a few years of experience, perhaps what awaits him is a meteoric rise.

Unfortunately he is not.

It wouldn't be considered despair if he had a famous family as his endorsement.

At least if you can't hang out in the court, you can still be transferred to another place.

In time, even if he cannot become a shepherd guard of a state, he can still serve as a county guard or county magistrate.

What a pity...

He is not from the sect either.

In this way, perhaps until I reach the age of 80, I will still be the same as I am today...

Thinking of this, Zhao Qianqiang endured the bitterness and anger in his heart and smiled to greet his colleagues.

He was too busy to kowtow to the superior.

Then he sat down in the office room in a daze and began to deal with complicated affairs.

Fortunately, the Chinese New Year has just passed, and nothing major happened.

Most of the memorials submitted from various places in Dayong said some festive words.

It's all worthless nonsense anyway.

It's just that this kind of memorial seems to be meaningless except a waste of paper and court transportation.

In fact, there is a hidden secret.

At the very least, Zhao Qian only needed to look at the heads of these memorials to know which of these local officials belonged to the Beigong and which belonged to His Majesty's Nangong.

However, these too tall things have little to do with a humble official like Zhao Qian.

He just lamented that in recent years, there were fewer and fewer memorials belonging to Nangong.

This made Zhao Qian couldn't help but feel a little sad for His Majesty.

After all, if you really want to talk about it, with his background, he can become such a humble official, and he must be grateful for some of the actions of His Majesty in his early years.

Unfortunately, that's all.

Because the hope that His Majesty gave these poor children was nothing more than that.

On the contrary, this feeling of seeing hope and then being shattered is even more despairing.

It even makes people feel resentful.

Zhao Qian was thinking wildly in his mind, but the movements in his hands did not stop.

After all, this simple task that is repeated year after year, day after day, has long turned into muscle instinct.

It takes no brainer at all.

Just as time passes by.

When he was about to leave his job, Zhao Qian's mechanical movements suddenly stopped.

Memorial from Youzhou?

Zhao Qian's heart moved, and he subconsciously slowed down the movements of his hands and looked carefully.

At this glance, the numb look on Zhao Qian's face changed instantly.

Three thousand barbarians enter the Kou Champion City!

Break into the city and kill without calculation!

Champion City!

A group of their friends gathered in private and often talked about this place. How could Zhao Qian not know about this city that was once called Dingbei City.

It is now the fiefdom of that champion!

How can this be?

Zhao Qian hurriedly checked the signature of this memorial and found that it was from a county near Champion City, and his heart suddenly sank.

The change in his expression immediately attracted the attention of his colleagues around him.

"What's wrong? But what happened?"

After hearing this, Zhao Qian shook his head subconsciously.

"It's nothing, I guess I just had a bad stomach from eating in the morning."

With that said, Zhao Qian quietly threw the memorial aside.

Then he stood up and went to the toilet.

After returning, he pretended to be calm and continued to read other memorials.

After looking through it, I immediately found several memorials about this matter.

Zhao Qian gritted his teeth and detained them all privately.

When it was finally time to go to the office at noon, Zhao Qian could no longer care about anything else and walked out of the office quickly.

Then he gathered a group of friends and said in a deep voice.

"problem occurs!"
