After traveling through time, I became Han Zhang’s grandson?

Chapter 237 The Unkillable Han Ming

Han Ming left the camp on horseback in the morning, and after a joyful "hunting", he returned to "Nabo" with a lot of prey near dusk.

At this moment, there was a huge flow of people near Nabo. After all, people gathered together to verify the number of prey and watch the results.

He Zhengru and others who did not see Han Ming return began to get nervous, fearing that something might happen to their lord.

Even Yelu Hongji's family, Yelu Chongyuan and others in the stands looked sideways and gazed into the distance.

Some people hope to see Han Ming, while others do not. In short, all kinds of situations in the world are vividly highlighted at this moment.

Suddenly, Du Jiyang's eyes lit up. He saw a dark figure rushing towards him from a distance and couldn't help but shout loudly: "My Lord! The Lord is back——!"

This roar was like thunder out of the blue, which made everyone's scalps numb and they couldn't help but look up.

Sure enough, they saw a black shadow gradually getting bigger and then galloping towards them. Soon everyone saw who was on the horse.

Han Ming held his head high and chest out, sitting astride his horse, looking so relaxed and contented that many people secretly admired him as a 'gentleman'!

"My Lord——!"

Wow, He Zhengru rushed over excitedly and wanted to hug Han, as if he hadn’t seen him for years.

As a result, someone acted faster. Du Ji Yang sprinted a hundred meters and directly bumped into Han Ming who had just dismounted.

"Ahem...I..."

Han Ming was hit so hard that he coughed continuously and almost passed out. He was about to curse, but when he saw the worried looks of He Zhengru and Du Jiyang, he swallowed his words back.

After all, I am a marquis of the Song Dynasty. I should have some manners and not act like a shrew.

Han Ming tried his best to find a reason in his heart to prevent himself from getting angry and wanting to curse!

"My Lord! Are you okay?" Du Ji Yang stood there awkwardly and bowed.

"It's not bad, it's not bad. I can't tell that Brother Ji Yang still has some strength, unlike the other scholars who are thin and frail."

Han Ming grinned and complained about the other party, which made Du Ji Yang, a grown man, blush a little. He was indeed excited just now.

Han Ming's connections are more important than anything else now. In the Song Dynasty, even the emperor has to please this gentleman, not to mention these civil officials, who have to live under his wing. That's the reality.

After all, the opportunity for the Song Dynasty to rise to prominence falls on the young man in front of him. Who wants to be remembered forever, who wants to be infamous forever, who wants to be unknown...all of this depends on Han's decision.

"Alright, alright, I was just joking with you. Brother Ji Yang is so caring, I will remember it in my heart."

Han Ming patted Du Jiyang on the shoulder and started chatting and laughing with He Zhengru and others.

"Lord Han!" A voice that couldn't be more familiar reached Han Ming's ears.

Looking back at Xiao Ge who looked extremely surprised, Han Ming took the hunting evidence from the horse's back and handed it to him.

"Prime Minister Xiao, I have benefited greatly from participating in the winter hunt today. Please thank His Majesty the Emperor for the invitation and His Royal Highness the King of Qin for his kindness."

Han Ming bowed, and the strangeness in his tone made Xiao Ge inadvertently smile.

"How can you say that, Marquis Han? If His Majesty knew of your gratitude, he would surely be extremely pleased. As for His Majesty the King of Qin, he would be even more delighted."

Here, Xiao Ge also teased Yelu Hongji and Yelu Chongyuan with some malicious intentions.

"Hahaha, Prime Minister Xiao is indeed a man of character. It is a great honor for me to have the opportunity to meet him."

Han Ming couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Xiao Ge for having the courage to tease his own monarch and allies.

"Please forgive me, Lord Han. I will immediately tally up your gains. If you are victorious, I'm afraid we can become colleagues!"

Xiao Ge really liked Han Ming. How should I put it? It was like we were old friends from the first sight.

Compared to his own monarch's arrogance and self-righteousness, and his ally Yelu Chongyuan's suspicion and cunningness, Han Ming gives people a sense of integrity and confidence.

This made Xiao Ge and Han Ming get along very comfortably without any worries.

This precisely reflects Han Ming's cleverness. Although he flattered Xiao Ge like the Liao military and political officials, he was pragmatic and used one thing to flatter the other party in a reasonable and superficial way.

It made Xiao Ge feel that while praising him, it was not so exaggerated that it would make him seem stupid and easy to be deceived.

This kind of emotion is called: giving enough value emotion in modern society.

Xiao Ge felt that a powerful figure like Han Ming was sincerely praising and recognizing him, and did not care about his past flattery, but was only interested in being friends with him.

Han Ming looked at Xiao Ge, whose face was filled with impatience, and bowed, saying with a smile, "Then I'll trouble you, Prime Minister Xiao. I'll prepare some wine later in the evening, and I'd like you to join me for a drink."

Xiao Ge was very satisfied with the sufficient value emotions given this time. This is the way to treat people with courtesy.

Unlike Yelu Hongji and Yelu Chongyuan, they both thought that Xiao Ge was a "dog" who could be summoned and dismissed at will!

"Lord Han, please wait a moment. I will be back soon." Xiao Ge returned the greeting and left with Han Ming's hunting gear.

"My Lord..." He Zhengru and Du Ji Yang looked at each other and called out in a low voice.

"Don't worry, we've gotten through this crisis. As for what other methods we have in the future, we can only take it one step at a time."

"Besides, Nabo is different from the city. A lot of information cannot be transmitted. We should be as careful as possible."

"Tell your men to reduce unnecessary outings except for daily negotiations!"

Han Ming gave a quick order and followed Xiao Ge to the statistics site. He Zhengru and Du Jiyang looked at each other and immediately returned to the camp to arrange their men.

. . . . . .

"boom--!"

"Crack-!"

At night, in Yelu Liang's tent, Yelu Hongji changed from the majestic demeanor he had during the day and smashed things like an angry and frustrated army.

“Why…why…why?!”

Yelu Hongji was panting a little as he pinched the corner of the table. He couldn't stop the terrifying evil spirit from coming out of his body.

"Why is Han Ming so hard to kill?! Why can't he die--!"

"Bang!" Yelu Hongji kicked over the tables and chairs and lay on his back on the sheepskin blanket.

Yelu Liang stood in the corner, silent, just looking at Yelu Hongji helplessly.

Compared to the high-spirited man when he first ascended the throne, in Yelu Liang's eyes, Yelu Hongji has now become a representative of an erratic monarch.

"A Su, how do you think we should deal with this Han Ming issue?"

After venting his anger, Yelu Hongji calmed down, sat up and began to clean up the tables and chairs in Yelu Liang's tent that he had smashed and kicked over.

"Your Majesty, I will do it."

Yelu Liang took the initiative to step forward to support Yelu Hongji, but the other party just waved his hand, indicating that it was not necessary.

"My temper has become increasingly unstable in recent years. If my father and those outsiders saw this, they would definitely laugh at me for having served as emperor for nothing."

Yelu Hongji smiled bitterly and picked up the debris on the floor bit by bit.

"Your Majesty is also deeply concerned about state affairs. It would be wise to...return to Shangjing and Zhongjing more often to rest for a while."

Yelu Liang also knew why Yelu Hongji became like this. Ever since Han Ming was born and defeated Western Xia in one battle, his political reputation at home and abroad has fallen to the bottom.

The Liao Dynasty was in turmoil, mostly due to the chaos caused by Emperor Xingzong's original promise to Chongyuan.

The daily rapid increase in the Song Dynasty's national strength also kept him awake all night long. For the first time, he felt like a guillotine was hanging over his head.

Tired, worried...Yelu Hongji is now exhausted both physically and mentally due to internal and external pressures.

"I can't rest... Every step I take now is like walking on thin ice. If someone seizes my weakness, the foundation of the Liao Dynasty will collapse in an instant."

"I do not want to be the ruler of a fallen nation! I will wipe out all of the Liao's enemies and usher in a new 'Holy Emperor's Reign'!"

Yelu Hongji slowly stood up, and a domineering aura ravaged the entire tent.

"A Su, tell me directly, if we want to completely get rid of Han Ming, how far do we have to go?"

Yelu Hongji no longer wanted to play this testing game with Han Ming. He planned to use his army to strangle Han Ming.

"As Your Majesty has thought and worried, if we want to kill Han Ming directly now, we can only defeat him head-on in an open and fair manner."

"Neither 'Long Xijin' nor the military can demand any more assassinations. This will only allow Han Ming to break through step by step."

Yelu Liang's words made Yelu Hongji's expression change several times. Finally, he calmed down and asked, "The only way is to convict him and kill him directly, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty should also know that if we dare to kill Han Ming openly today, we will face the revenge of the Song Dynasty tomorrow!"

Yelu Liang also spoke out, not wanting Yelu Hongji to continue to torture him.

"In the future, we will travel north to the Gubeikou Great Wall in the name of bilateral exchange, and at the same time announce another exchange project - a poetry competition between the two countries!"

"Han Ming and the delegation must participate, and our country's young talents must also participate."

"If Han Ming cannot defeat us, he will be imprisoned and handed over to the custody of 'Long Xijin' on the grounds of sabotaging the two countries!"

Yelu Hongji finally decided to play it safe. After all, his current political prestige in the country made it impossible for him to attack the envoys too openly.

If he dares to kill Han Ming today, tomorrow not only the Song Dynasty but also the surrounding countries will have to consider whether they can escape the clutches of the Liao Dynasty.

Therefore, Yelu Hongji did not dare to gamble or give the most direct orders yet, and could only express his orders in a roundabout way.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will arrange everything." Yelu Liang replied with a bow.

"Also, regarding the situation of Hudugu and the others, I will grant various rewards to their families to appease them."

Yelu Hongji said the last sentence and strode out of the tent.

"Your Majesty, I respectfully bid you farewell!" After Yelu Liang saw Yelu Hongji off, he couldn't help but smile bitterly as he looked at the tents that had slightly returned to normal.

"Your Majesty, if you hesitate to make a decision, you will suffer the consequences! If you do this, you will fall into Han Ming's scheme..."
