After a long time, Helian Manqiu and Gan Yuxuan looked at each other. Neither of them was willing to withdraw their gazes first. Their gazes intersected in the air, creating strings of invisible sparks. They were unwilling to show weakness.

A thousand kinds of glazed luster, the sparkling moonlight on the cold river, slightly narrowed into two enchanting arcs, just like a cunning fox with a smile.

It was pitch black like the night sky, and it was endlessly deep, with specks of cold stars shining within, bringing along the cold of winter.

He was determined to win!

From Gan Yuxuan's gaze, Helian Manqiu saw these four words.

He smiled gently, as light as the clouds and as bright as the spring flowers. His lips curved up into a beautiful crescent moon. If he wanted to obtain such a weapon, then his appetite must be huge.

Was it that person?

Did he say that on purpose, or …

When she was not laughing, she was as cold as a snow lotus. This kind of smile caused her beautiful face to be devoid of any coldness. It was a bit enchanting, yet it also gave her a sense of elegance.

"Master, what do you want to exchange for it?"

"What do you want?"

Gan Zhixuan slightly lowered his head and looked down at Helian Manqiu. He was delicate like an unbeatable pear blossom in the wind. Only his eyes were as bright as autumn water as he looked down at her.

This young general had an appearance that was similar to a woman's. If it wasn't for the faint heroic spirit between his brows, the sharp arrogance in the depths of his eyes, and his calmness, he would have thought that he was a woman.

He was just an overly handsome youth who was only fourteen years old. How dare he negotiate with him?

"What do I want?"

He was smiling faintly, with a warm spring breeze. However, there was no trace of happiness in his eyes. It was clear as day and brought with it a slight chill.

"I don't know what I want either. What should I do?"

Gan Yuxuan straightened his body. His stern face was as expressionless as a boulder as he looked at Helian Manqiu. What did he want to make?

He was waiting for Helian Manqiu to come up with the conditions. He believed that Helian Manqiu would write him a letter and use these weapons to move his heart.

Only the method of using these weapons could be used to exchange for the safety of all the soldiers and their families. This was something that this young general understood.

Helian Manqiu also did not say anything. She tilted her head and smiled faintly, looking at Gan Jianxuan. Her expression was relaxed without the slightest hint of fear.

After a while, there was a sudden knock on the door. "Reporting, Lord. The King of Law has sent a letter asking that all the soldiers in the General's Prefecture, all those with positions and their families, be handed over to His Highness the King of Law."

Helian Manqiu glanced at the door. This was the perfect time to report back. This great general's scheming and ingenuity could only be described as deep and profound.

This should have been arranged beforehand, right?

Or was it really a coincidence?

Although King Lu was still a prince, he was willing to take over the military region. As for how his soldiers were dealt with, he should be willing to give up to the Grand Xia Dynasty and should not let King Lu interfere.

If this was done by the Law King, then he was not smart enough. He had the suspicion that he was vying for credit, and he would even offend Gan Yixuan.

King Lu was sinister and scheming. He withdrew the banner of Gan Yuxuan as soon as it was revealed in the military city. He clearly didn't want to offend Gan Yuxuan, so he was willing to lose a lot of face just to give Gan Yuxuan face.

There were numerous princes and princes in the Great Hengkong, as well as the Crown Prince. If the Law King wanted to fight for the throne, he would absolutely not offend Gonggong. He would definitely think of a way to rope Gonggong in.

"Does His Highness the law have any other orders?"

"Reporting to the lord, His Highness King Lu has spoken. He has already sent a letter to the capital to ask for meritorious service from the emperor, and His Highness cannot disobey the imperial edict. Your Highness is worried that the emperor will not be able to bear to do anything, so you ask the general to hand over the traitors to His Highness for him."

"Substitute …"

Gan Yuxuan softly repeated himself as he looked at Helian Manqiu.

"My lord, you absolutely cannot. The King of Law is ruthless. If my lord hands over the warriors of my army to the King of Law, it would be no different from sending a sheep into the mouth of a tiger."

With a chuckle, how could she dare not accompany him when he was willing to put on such a show?

Gan Yuxuan is a great general, a marquis, a high ranking official. She's just a subordinate, a subordinate of Gan Zhixuan. She doesn't even have an official position, so she can only accompany him to the end.

The light smile was gentle and gentle, the urgent tone coupled with the expression made Gan Yuxuan's eyebrows rise, and he gave Helian Manqiu a deep look.

What did this young general mean?

Why are you laughing like that?

Could it be that she saw through his thoughts and thought that he was doing it on purpose?

"Qing Yu, do you think that this was my arrangement to make things difficult for you and the Military Region's officers?"

"What did the lord think?"

She was not a fourteen-year-old girl. She was born into two lifetimes, was a special forces officer, was born into a military academy, was born into a military family since she was young. She wanted to play some tricks or scheme, and she liked it.

"Qingyu, rest. Rest in peace."

Gan Yuxuan didn't explain. He got up and walked out, then closed the door behind him. When he looked back, he saw Helian Manqiu waving at him through the gap of the door. He couldn't help but slightly smile.

Such a young general was indeed extraordinary. Perhaps the biggest gain from coming to the military state was not the military state, nor the subordinates of Helian Shan. Instead, it was this young general.

"My lord."

Kneeling on the ground outside, they all lowered their heads.

Gan Yuxuan lowered his head to look at Lu Kaiyu who was kneeling at his left and right side. "Qing Yu is severely injured. You should take care of him. If you need anything, just report it at any time."

"Thank you, my Lord."

The two hastily kowtowed to express their gratitude. It wasn't until Gan Zhixuan's figure disappeared from outside the courtyard that they slowly got up.

"Young, Young General, how are you?"

However, he and Lu Kaiyu hurriedly knocked on the door. After receiving permission, they walked in and looked at Helian Manqiu with a worried expression.

"I'm fine, who was the one that came to repay the law king just now?"

"It's the lord's men."

"What do you mean, send someone to check if this is true or not, and be careful."

"Yes, this lowly one will obey. Young General, if King Lu wants to do this, the lord …"

"No worries, Gongxuan will not agree."

"Young General, you have acted arrogantly again."

Helian Manqiu shrugged her shoulders. She was still not used to calling her master. Why did it feel like she was a maid?

"I will pay attention. Go ahead."

"Yes."

He turned around and wanted to go out. After thinking for a while, he turned around and said, "Young General, when the lord came over, Di Qingfeng blocked him outside the gate and offended the lord. What do you think …"

"In the future, no one is allowed to obstruct or offend the Lord. They are to let Di Qingfeng bind himself and ask the Lord for forgiveness. "What do you mean? Pass on my order, the officers of the military region are now the subordinates of the Lord, you should respectfully and carefully serve them. Do not arouse the Lord's suspicion and be criticized by others."

"The young general is wise and wise, this lowly one will immediately pass down his orders."

Helian Manqiu lay down. Was the Law King doing this on purpose?

Perhaps not, it was not difficult to investigate this matter. If she were willing to do so, it would be underestimating her.
