There was a faint smile on his face. If there was any, it would seem like spring water to his eyes. The female officer's smile was the most beautiful. The most charming look in her eyes was when the enemy died.

If Mo Bai or her familiar underlings were here, they would have quickly distanced themselves from her at this time in order to avoid bringing harm to the fish pond.

A gentle and elegant smile, with the graceful curve of a crescent moon, appeared on Helian Manqiu's lips. One could see a slight disdain in her eyes, as well as a slight killing intent. Her cold, starry eyes stared at Helian Manqiu.

In an instant, his gaze seemed to soften a little, and his cold expression remained the same.

She retracted her gaze. She looked too similar to that person. Perhaps it was because she had never seen that person's face clearly before, but those eyes looked exactly the same.

"Young General is severely injured and cannot be bothered. Servants, please go back and rest in peace."

"Yes, this general obeys."

After showing his gratitude, the janissaries came in and kowtowed. Then, they stood up and lifted Helian Manqiu up, preparing to send her to the mansion to rest.

"My lord, I have slept for a very long time. This general wants to stay here and await my lord's orders."

Helian Manqiu gave a faint smile. If there was anything to do when she went back, she would instruct them to do so. She wanted to stay here and see how familiar this exceptional general was with giving orders.

"Alright."

Gan Yuxuan smiled and nodded. He waved his hand to dismiss Helian Manqiu's personal guards. He then glanced at Ding Ziyang and his subordinates: "Stand up."

The two stood up and bowed their heads respectfully.

"Please sit here, Young General."

Gan Jianxuan used his finger to point at the top right side of the table, his expression gentle.

"I don't dare to. This lowly general doesn't have any morals or abilities. How about sitting beside the lord? May the lord allow this lowly general to sit here."

Helian Manqiu casually pointed with her finger. It was the last position on the right.

Gan Yuxuan declined to comment. Someone moved Helian Manqiu to the front of the table and placed her in front of the White Eagle Feather.

White Hawk Feather smiled without saying a word. He lowered his head slightly to size up Helian Manqiu.

This young general was young and calm, and he was as beautiful as a woman. It was said that the twins of Helian Shan, his daughter did not love red dress and military attire, and his son was weak and submissive. From the looks of it, he was not as weak as the rumors claimed he was.

There were not many people who would dare to meet their lord's gaze. A single look from their face was enough to make all the generals feel fear and trepidation. They were all kneeling on the ground, not daring to even breathe loudly.

This young man had the courage to look directly at his lord, to meet his gaze, and to smile faintly.

Perhaps these rumors were not enough to convince him that this young general possessed astounding talent.

Gan Yuxuan's gaze faintly fell on Helian Manqiu's body. Was his injury really that severe?

Why did she reject his request for military doctors? Was she worried that he would secretly harm her, or was she not heavily injured?

Gan Yuxuan glanced at the white eagle feathers. The white eagle feathers slightly blinked, indicating that this young general should investigate thoroughly.

As Gan Yuxuan gave out his orders, Helian Manqiu silently leaned against the reclining chair, watching over him and the way he did things.

This was her evaluation of him. He was not as simple and cold as he appeared to be.

Her smile grew wider and more interesting. This great general was like the man she had been chasing for so many years in her previous life. He was an excellent opponent, but this time, she would not be led astray by his nose.

In the afternoon, Helian Manqiu inspected the city, visiting the soldiers and the people, trying to soothe the hearts of the people.

"Young General, pass down your orders, now that the wood is being transported from outside the city, the craftsmen are also taking the opportunity to repair the houses and settle down the soldiers and civilians."

"What's the matter, Master?"

Helian Manqiu facepalmed. Ancient, damnable ancient.

Why did she become that person's subordinate and call him master?

No matter how she looked at it, she felt like a maid. He was her master, so he had to get used to being called this way of address.

"The lord has no objections. He ordered his men to send men to repair the city, help the people to repair the houses, and even send men to repair the houses."

"Good, very good."

Helian Manqiu gave a crafty smile. That lord must have the heart to kill her, right?

What would he think if he was able to maintain his cold and calm expression despite the fact that an empty city had been given to him?

"Young General, you …"

After hesitating for a moment, he said in a low voice, "This general heard that the Lord asked General Ding this morning that the treasury was empty. General Ding will bear all the blame."

"There's no need for this. I've already instructed him, if there's anything, just push it onto me."

"Young General, do you think that will arouse your lord's suspicion? "What do you want to do?"

"It's nothing. I'm just testing Gan Qianyu's bottom line to see if he's magnanimous enough."

"Young General, you have acted so arrogantly again, calling our Lord by his full name. It would be inappropriate if our Lord's people were to hear about him."

"Sigh …"

Helian Manqiu supported her forehead. In the ancient era of myriad evils, there was an order of reverence. Noble people were high and mighty, and lowly commoners prostrated themselves on the ground to kowtow.

"I'll pay attention."

"My Lord, what Helian Qingyu did was clearly to look down on others and to offend my Lord. Why does my Lord tolerate this?"

In the room, Gan Jianxuan was lying on the bed, resting with his eyes closed.

"No need for all of you, Helian Qingyu is just a teenager. He hasn't reached adulthood yet, how can the Lord possibly lower himself to a child?"

White Hawk Yu smiled as he spoke. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Everyone, follow the orders of our Lord. There are only around ten thousand veterans in the military region. They are all injured, so you don't have to worry."

"My Lord, this lowly general only saw that Helian Qingyu being too arrogant and could not bear to watch. How could a little kid dare to be rude to his master? "

"Alright, you can all go and rest."

"Yes, this lowly general will take his leave."

With these words, no one dared to say anything else. They bowed and left the room.

Seeing that everyone had left, White Eagle Feather put away the smile on his face, and respectfully lowered his head to stand by the bedside: "Master, this subordinate has investigated before, that those weapons were indeed invented by Helian Qingyu, there are many people who can testify, and they have all personally witnessed it. Previously, when we heard that a spy snuck into the city, we heard that Helian Shan's two children were injured because of this. It seems that Helian Man's injuries are even more severe. "

"Seems so."

The word 'indifferent' came out of Gan Wei's mouth, but his eyes were still closed and he laid down lazily.

"This subordinate is incompetent, please bestow punishment upon me, Master."

White Hawk Yu immediately knelt down, lowering his head in front of the bed. "The servants of the garrison have all been dismissed. I beg that the Lord give this subordinate some time to investigate this matter thoroughly. "

Gan Zhixuan remained silent as if he was a little tired. He turned over and kicked off his shoes, then rested his head on the pillow.
