C65

The few soldiers under Gan Gong Xuan looked at each other in dismay. They didn't know what Helian Manqiu wanted to do. Seeing Helian Man's face brimming with happiness and a gentle smile, they couldn't help but decline. Even though they were just ordinary soldiers, they were not afraid of Helian Manqiu.

"Since it's like this, I'll thank the young general and disturb him."

"Milords, we pay our respects. Please forgive us for our rudeness."

"There's no need to stand on ceremony. We're not in the military camp right now, so it's best if everyone is at ease."

"Apologies, little one, please sit."

The few soldiers didn't dare to be rude. In front of Chen Yu Yang and the others, they bowed and confessed before sitting down.

A few people sat down, feeling a little uncomfortable. At this moment, the few people sitting on the seats were all the trusted generals of Helian Shan, officials appointed by the imperial government. The positions of Chen Yu Yang and his counterparts were countless levels higher than theirs. Seeing them bow their heads in respect, how could they possibly sit at the same table?

At this moment, these people were seated at the same table as Chen Yu Yang and the others.

"I am Helian Qingyu. I did not ask for your name."

The leader hastily cupped his fists together. "I dare not say I am worthy of the young general's name. I am a student under the lord's command. I am called Iron Dauntless. Young General, please call me by my first name."

The junior high school was a small leader in the army with a dozen or so people. It was the lowest rank in the army and was not under the imperial government. It was a position unique to the military and was not listed in the imperial government.

Helian Manqiu knew that this was a team leader or the like in her army at that time. They did not belong to the official positions. Only after obtaining military merits and promotion would they have a chance at entering the official military positions.

The knots of muscle bulged out as old roots spiraled and protruded from his body. Muscles emerged from the uniform, forming a sturdy line.

His body exuded a murderous aura, his stature was tall and sturdy, his fists were like laughing jars, his joints were thick, and he had a valiant bearing, just like a northern man.

Helian Manqiu stretched out her wrist and glanced at Iron Dauntless's wrist. This person's wrist was comparable to her thigh. She was afraid that her thigh was not as thick as Iron Dauntless's. This person's calves seemed thicker than her waist, making Helian Manqiu speechless.

Just now when she got down from the carriage, she had calculated and stood up. She could only reach beneath Iron Dazhi's chest. Iron Dazhi was almost as tall as her.

Although her body had yet to reach adulthood, this little school Iron Dauntless's body was also extremely intrepid and valiant to the extreme. People were afraid of him and his body was filled with boundless power.

"Big brother Tie's wrist is probably thicker than my leg. It must be incredibly powerful and invincible."

"Haha, the young general has spoken. Our Big Brother Tie has only been in the army for three years, and he has already gone from ordinary soldiers into the Lord's army. "If it wasn't for Brother Tie's small mistake, you would have become an official military officer by now."

"What are you talking about? Cut the crap in front of the young general. Young General, this lowly one will introduce these kids to you."

Iron Dauntless introduced Helian Manqiu to a few other people. They were the people who had made a fool of her on the streets before, the ones who had mocked her.

"These brothers are under Brother Tie's command, right?"

"Yes, we are all brothers of this lowly one. Please do not blame us for our offense just now. This lowly one is a rude person and has never read any books. This lowly one should not lower himself to the same level as this lowly one."

"I've forgotten about what happened just now. Look at how generous these brothers are. We just need to have a casual chat over a cup of wine. Don't be so awkward."

Iron Dazhi and the others had spoken a few polite words. Seeing that Helian Manqiu did not seem to have any ill intentions, Iron Dazhi signaled his men with his eyes and raised his goblet to toast Helian Manqiu.

"Young General, this lowly one wishes to toast Young General and take this opportunity to apologize to him. Please, Young General."

"My family's young general is severely injured, so he is not allowed to drink alcohol. I'll do it on his behalf. Everyone, please."

Iron Dazhi raised his goblet and drained it in one gulp. He frowned slightly. He knew what it meant. He was the butler of the garrison and had heard that he was a subordinate of Helian Shan. It wasn't appropriate for a butler to drink wine in the place of the master. After all, the butler was a servant, and Chen Yu Yang was not someone he could compare to.

"This is my uncle! He was a deputy general under my father's command! After getting injured, he stayed in the mansion to protect my brother and sister, and he was like my father!"

When Iron Dauntless heard Helian Manqiu's words, he hurriedly raised his cup with both hands. "So it is Lord He. I do not know how disrespectful I am. Please."

"No need to stand on ceremony, these people are my father's brothers and usually there's no difference. I haven't fully recovered from my injuries, so I'll use tea in place of wine to toast these people."

"If you dare not accept the title of the young general's toast, then you better not do so."

Iron Dauntless hastily declined. Their statuses were low. Just now, they were about to be punished for humiliating and ridiculing Helian Manqiu, who was scolded at them. This matter could be said to be big or small, but it was inevitable for the Lord to pursue this matter. Even for an official position the size of a sesame seed, it was not certain that he would be able to keep it.

From an ordinary soldier, it took him two years to enter Gan Jianxuan's army. It took him another year to reach the junior high school. Naturally, he didn't want to be punished by Gan Jianxuan because of this.

Although Iron Dauntless was a crude person, from his attitude towards Helian Manqiu on the streets today, how could he not know that his lord had treated this young general Helian from the Military Region with special respect?

They did not expect that Gan Gongxuan would happen to see it, nor did they want to punish them. Helian Manqiu would automatically fall down and kneel on the ground, begging for mercy on their behalf.

That was why they had followed him outside the military camp, waiting for Helian Manqiu to come out and apologize.

Iron Dauntless was a man with distinct grudges and grudges. He was unwilling to let others think that a weak youth like Helian Manqiu was rude and arrogant.

"Brother Tie became a junior in the last year with the lord. His future is limitless. It's a pity that I'm too weak and injured to charge into the fray like Brother Tie. It really makes me sigh."

"Young General is wise and uses troops like a god. This lowly one can't wait for the young general."

The corners of Iron Dazhi's lips curled slightly. He still couldn't believe that those weapons from that night had been invented by this delicate and peerless flying youth.

"Master is wise and wise, he is valiant and invincible. "I have long heard of my lord's heroic name, but it is a pity that I was so unlucky to have been able to meet him today. It is indeed a blessing to be able to serve under my lord."
