Helian Man's autumn clothing was delicate. In front of such a powerful person, it was best for her to pretend to be stupid.

Even if today, Gan Zhixuan had seen through her intentions, as long as she didn't say anything, this person wouldn't intentionally expose her. She would pretend that she had spoken on impulse, and no one would be able to do anything to her. After today's events, the hatred and discontent of Gan Zhixuan's underlings towards her must have disappeared quite a bit.

Perhaps those people would think that she was young and ignorant, and would eliminate all of her dissatisfaction and suspicion.

Only the man in front of her could see through her.

"Helian Mountain was bestowed with an imperial title after his death. The Helian Family only has a pair of orphans and young children. The Emperor can bestow an edict and invite you to the capital to bestow grace and to remain in the capital."

"If the imperial edict were to make this general the acting garrison general of the Military Region, then what would it matter if he were to go to the capital?"

"You know it's an agent."

"Qing Yu, don't play dumb in front of me. I don't need such people by my side, and I don't want to see you being smart in front of me!"

If the emperor decreed it, there was nothing he could do to stop it. After all, this was the sky of the Great Hengkong Empire, the world of the emperor. Even if it was him, if the Emperor were to summon him, he could only hurry to the capital to meet him.

"How can this lowly general not go to the capital?"

"Doesn't Qingyu want to go? After he had gone to the capital, he had let the people of the world know of Qing Yu's astounding talent. If the Emperor's favor is highly valued, the Crown Prince will hold them in high regard. In the future, Qing Yu will soar to greatness, and it will be just around the corner. "

A low and emotionless voice, carrying the faint chill and indifference of late spring on the northern border, passed by Helian Manqiu's ears.

"My Lord, Qingyu is willing to follow by his side. He would rather stay by his side to be a little soldier than go to the capital."

"Qing Yu doesn't want to go, but if he has a way and wants to go, I won't stop him."

Her deep and serene eyes were indifferent as she looked at Helian Man and Qiu. Her jade-like face carried the color of frost and snow. She seemed as motionless as a boulder.

"The Lord is saying that Qing Yu knows what to do. He will not let down the Lord's kindness no matter what."

Helian Manqiu bowed to Gan Shixuan, raised her head and said with a smile, "Perhaps His Royal Highness is willing to help with this matter."

Gan Zhixuan's thin lips slightly curled up as he looked deeply at Helian Manqiu: "Do not have any ill intentions. If I can let you live, I can let you die!"

"Master, why be so suspicious? What should I do to make you understand that I have nothing but loyalty to you?"

"Go down and rest."

Gan Zhixuan closed his eyes. At this time, in the military state, he knew very well how King Chen would do many things. The decree was that he had decided to go to the military state first. However, if King Chen sent a secret letter to the capital, things might change.

"My Lord, would you allow some news that you should not have gone to the capital to reach the capital?"

After saying this, Helian Manqiu smiled as she pushed open the door and left. She then closed the door behind her.

Gan Yuxuan suddenly opened his eyes. A sharp light shot out from his phoenix eyes as he stared at the door for a long time. His slim figure disappeared, and his lips raised up high, revealing a chilly smile.

That brat was able to guess his intentions. After being exposed by him with a single sentence, he didn't act dumb in front of him anymore. Very good. He didn't know what he would do next. How could he make King Chen give up trying to recruit him?

As long as the king didn't leave the capital, none of the messages he sent out would reach the capital. The north was his territory. Even if he was the king, he could forget about sending out the news that he was not allowed to go to the capital.

In the end, he wouldn't stay long. When he returned to the capital, he would have to bring back some news.

His eyes were dark and gloomy. Whether or not he could return to the capital depended on someone else. He didn't need to do it himself, and he couldn't let anything happen to King Chen in the north. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to explain it to the Crown Prince.

There was one person who didn't want to see King Chen return to the capital at all!

The next day, Helian Manqiu brought her wounded son to visit King Chen. She pretended not to know who King Chen was and greeted him as brother.

"Is Qingyu's injury serious?"

"It's nothing serious. It's just a superficial wound that can be healed after a few days of rest. I have come today, firstly, to thank brother for the medicine, and secondly, to apologize to him. I did not expect that the imperial decree would arrive in the military region yesterday, and even more so, I did not want to anger my lord and get punished for it.

"Qingyu, you are too kind. I heard that Qingyu's wounds have yet to heal and that it was a bad thing to do. I didn't think that such a great general would still punish you." There are still some dishes and wine for today. Since Qing Yu is injured, he can't drink.

"Sorry for bothering you, brother."

Helian Manqiu had an inexplicable expression on her face. There seemed to be a faint sense of dissatisfaction in her eyes, but it was difficult for her to open her mouth.

No matter what the reason was, it was enough to make this young general, who had never been subjected to such punishment and humiliation, and the soldiers of the Military Region angry.

He had investigated for a long time yesterday and even today, he still did not know why Helian Manqiu was given such a severe punishment.

In the outside world, it was rumored that Helian Manqiu had offended the great general with her words.

The rumors outside weren't enough to convince them that the general wasn't the one who would publicly humiliate and punish Young General Helian because of a young man who had become silent.

In the end, the imperial edict had just arrived in the Military Region yesterday, and it was unjustifiable for him to turn around and punish Helian Qingyu right after receiving the imperial edict. It was rather disrespectful to the Emperor. However, no one could blame Gan Gongxuan for disobeying the orders of the outer monarch and speaking according to military rules.

The rules of the military were strict, and the world knew of it. Currently, Helian Qing Yu was a subordinate of Gan Xuan. He violated the military rules and was being punished. He was also being cleaned up.

Prince Chen had to think a little more. Was Gan Gongxuan punishing Helian Qingyu for the dissatisfaction of the imperial edict, or was Helian Qingyu really rude and infuriated Gan Gongxuan?

As he looked at the handsome and peerless slightly immature youth in front of him, he was somewhat unable to see through him, unable to make sense of what was happening. Was this young general only fourteen years old? Could it be that just because of the arrival of the imperial edict, he had been promoted to acting as a garrison general of the Military Region?

It was not impossible. Young people were full of vigor and youth, yet they were young and ignorant. They did not know how powerful it was to be willing to give up. This was good as well. The aftermath of yesterday's incident would surely distract the military region and divert their attention. If that was the case, he would have a chance to rope in this young general.

Initially, Prince Chen had planned to send a secret letter to the capital. With the help of the Emperor, he had forcefully summoned the Helian children to the capital and controlled them.

When Helian Qing Yu and Helian Manqiu had entered the capital, they had no relationship with each other. At this time, Helian Qing had stepped forward to show his gratitude and was not afraid of this young general.

In his eyes, no matter how great of a genius Helian Qingyu was, he was nothing more than a mere official at his feet. He was an existence that should be prostrated at his feet and submitted to him. The only reason why he was willing to hand the match over was because of Helian Manqiu's talent.

A smirk of pride appeared on Prince Chen's lips. He didn't know what expression this young general would have when he found out his real identity.

Prince Chen didn't know that Helian Manqiu had already known about his real identity from Gan Xianxuan.

"Qing Yu is still so young, he's only fourteen years old. It seems like the great general's punishment is somewhat too severe."

There was a gentle smile on Prince Chen's face. He looked tenderly at Helian Manqiu's swollen and beautiful face. That great general was indeed capable of doing it. He was even more delicate than a flower. His delicate face could be easily broken by a blow. "In the military and official fields, a slap on the mouth is not a punishment, and it has never been used very often.

The slap was originally meant to deal with a woman's punishment. Although it was not heavy, it was still a loss of face. If it was used on Helian Manqiu, it would be quite humiliating.

Those with official positions would rather accept the punishment of whipping than to be given such a punishment. Although the punishment was light, it was used to humiliate people, and it was even more unbearable than any other severe punishment.

A trace of coldness flashed through Helian Manqiu's eyes. She lowered her eyes to conceal her sneer, "My lord is master, and I am only one of my lord's subordinates. I will punish my lord as he wishes."

"Qingyu is still young, and is lacking in manners when it comes to words spoken. Great General should also take responsibility, how can he use this kind of punishment to treat his younger brother. In the eyes of this foolish brother, he too is very protective. If I were to go out and meet someone, I will be laughed at by others for being unfair to my younger brother. "

"Is there anyone in the Military Region who doesn't know about my punishment yesterday? This matter has already spread throughout the military region yesterday.

Helian Manqiu's expression was bright. Her slender fingers tightly gripped the teacup because she had used too much strength to hold her knuckles white.

King Chen's eyes were calm and elegant as they fell on Helian Manqiu's fingers. This young general must have felt hatred and dissatisfaction towards Jia Yu Xuan yesterday, but he was too young and too weak to express it. He could only endure.

"I heard that General Helian dotes on Qing Yu very much. I wonder if Brother Xian was ever punished by General Helian?"

"My father has never punished me, not even a finger. This is all because I offended my lord's authority, and this is all thanks to my lord's kindness in not killing me. "Let's not talk about these things. Younger brother is not allowed to drink. I will use tea in place of wine to toast my brother."

A trace of coldness flashed in the depths of Helian Manqiu's eyes. She lightly smiled as she raised her cup to signal to King Chen. King Chen gently smiled and raised his cup.

After talking for a while, King Chen secretly changed the topic. He didn't know what Helian Manqiu had said yesterday and why she was punished. He was still worried about not clarifying this matter.

"Qing Yu hasn't left the military state yet, has he? Have you ever thought of going to see the prosperity of the capital of the Great Hengkong? "

"Unfortunately, I have no fate. With my current appearance, where can I go?"

Helian Manqiu's delicate eyebrows slightly knitted. Her hands fiercely thumped her legs a few times. She sighed in disappointment and put down the chopsticks in her hands, lowering her head in a daze to look at her legs.

King Chen's eyes also landed on Helian Manqiu's legs. His eyes lit up, "There are no good doctors in the northern border. If the condition of Qing Yu delays, it might really delay the best time for treatment. There are countless famous doctors in the capital. I can call it the best imperial physician to treat Qing Yu.

Hearing Prince Chen's words, Helian Manqiu's eyes lit up. She raised her head and looked at King Chen, "Brother, do you know a doctor?"

"The Imperial Physician of the capital, this brother has the face to invite you here. As for the other famous physicians, they are all able to find you for your younger brother's diagnosis and treatment." If my brother is interested, I might as well make a trip to the capital in a few days. I can also leave this military region and avoid being punished repeatedly. "
